Chapter 405
On the one hand, the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, on the other hand, there are not many games to be played.
On February 2, the Warriors returned to their home court to welcome the Nets from afar.
For the Nets of this era, people generally don't have a deep impression of him. Uh, this statement is a bit conservative. In fact, they don't pay attention to it at all. In the NBA, it is also dispensable and non-existent. feel.
The history of the Nets is not short. They joined the NBA in 67 and changed their team names three times, but they still haven't improved much. Even non-Nets fans don't even know if there are any stars in their team.
And the team's lineup this season is even more so. Roy Hinson, Chris Morris, Buck Williams, etc., the popularity of these players combined is not as good as their coach Willis Reid high visibility.
It's a pity that although Reid is a superstar as a player and can lead the team to win the championship, as a coach, he is not an excellent coach, or even a qualified coach.
Of course, this is also a common problem of superstar coaches. Perhaps in their thinking, they don't understand how weak chickens play. Why can't they do such a simple thing?
Therefore, facing such a team whose most famous team is actually the coach's team, the Warriors will naturally not be soft-hearted. They clocked in three quarters and beat the Nets 127:113.
Two days later, the Warriors defeated the Clippers at home again, 126:107, still no suspense.
This season, the Clippers are still the most powerful contenders for the No. [-] pick. The good news is that this year's draft is in their hands, and they don't have to worry about picking the No. [-] pick for other teams and helping the enemy team.
After defeating the Nets, the Warriors ushered in a four-day holiday. In the next game, they will go to Los Angeles to challenge the Lakers on the 8th.
This is disastrous for Li Weisi, because this year's Spring Festival is on February 2th, and the Chinatowns of San Francisco and Oakland jointly held a Spring Festival celebration, and he, a Chinese totem in the Golden State area, was naturally invited , and cannot reject.
Traditional celebrations such as setting off firecrackers, playing gongs and drums, walking on stilts, dancing dragons and lions, etc., wandered around Chinatown on the 6th. The busy Chinese people on weekdays finally had leisure at this moment. On the streets of Chinatown, celebrate the most important festival in the Chinese world.
Different from previous Spring Festival parades, this year's celebration attracted many tourists of other races, including whites, blacks, Latin Americans, and Asians.
The reason they came was very simple, that is because they knew in advance that Li Weisi would attend the celebration, so these tourists with different skin colors, different education backgrounds, but because of a common identity, Warriors fans, came to Chinatown.
However, even though they came here for Li Weisi, when they felt the charm of the Chinese New Year celebrations in Chinatown up close, they still attracted a lot of attention. This exotic culture was very new to them.
Of course, they didn't forget the real purpose of coming here. When the time came to 12 o'clock, a high platform was set up near the entrance of Baiweiju in Chinatown. Surrounded by a group of people, Li Weisi walked on the platform.
The moment Li Weisi appeared, the audience cheered endlessly.
The Chinese belong to a forgotten race in the United States. When most Americans mention people of color, they think of black people, Latin Americans, and even Indians, but they never pay much attention to the Chinese.
There are various reasons for this, such as not being keen on politics, just focusing on making money, not wanting to integrate into society, living only in one's own independent circle, and so on.
However, now that Li Weisi was born, the entire country of the United States recalled that there is still such a group of people in the corners of their society, this nation that gave birth to martial artists like Bruce Lee.
Therefore, it was Li Weisi who brought the Chinese back into the sight of the Quanmi people. Although this effort was not great, Li Weisi's own influence was huge, and it also brought a lot of convenience to the Chinese people.
At least, when someone asks what race you are, and you say I am Chinese, they will be very happy and say, "I know, there is West! He plays great basketball." And so on.
This also makes them no longer transparent, no longer isolated, although they will still be discriminated against, but at least a little improvement, and this, for the Chinese community that has been hungry for tens of hundreds of years, this is already very It's something they should be happy about.
"...Okay, thank you everyone, I'll just talk so much!"
Li Weisi's speech was very short. In fact, he really didn't have much to say. He himself resisted everyone treating him as a spiritual totem. After all, in his opinion, he was just a player. Millions of points, but he hopes that everyone will focus on his strength, not his race.
"Haha, West, what you said is really good!" When Li Weisi stepped down, an older Chinese came to Li Weisi and said politely.
"Thank you, President Li." The person here is the organizer of this Chinese New Year event, and is also one of the highest leaders in Chinatown.
"You're welcome, West, it's a great encouragement for you to be able to attend the New Year's event this time. Come, I'll take you to meet some people!" As he said, President Li invited Li Weisi to enter Baiweiju together.
Different from the chaotic environment outside, the private room inside Baiweiju is another scene. A group of men and women are sitting in the private room. Although everyone is talking and whispering, it is more orderly and more private.
A few days ago, Li Weisi, who had just eaten here, walked into the private room again, but it was a different feeling. Different from the harmony of the family, this place was full of more utilitarianism.
"Everyone be quiet, let's applaud our Chinese hero, Mr. Li Weisi!" With President Li's introduction, there was a burst of warm applause from below.
"Wei Si, come, let me introduce you! This is Li Mengxian, the new executive director of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission. He is the brightest star in our Chinese political circle. Oh, by the way, he is from Stanford just like you. , you are still alumni."
"Where is that, President Li is too polite. Compared with Wei Si, I am nothing." Li Mengxian, who had a bushy beard on his upper lip, showed his temperament as a politician without a doubt, with a bit of compliment in his modesty.
"Hello! Senior Li!"
"This is the Oakland City Board of Education, Ms. Guan Lizhen, who is also a strong woman. Next to her is her husband, Huen Dehui."
"Hello there!"
"This is Li Zhipeng, the head of the Hongmen Loyalty Headquarters..."
Following President Li's introduction, Li Weisi, the mascot in the eyes of the Chinese, is finally officially infiltrated into the highest level of American Chinese this time, even though this is not what Li Weisi wanted.
