Outside of Oracle Arena, the number of fans who identified Lu Ke and Watt gradually began to increase, Oakland and San Francisco live next to each other, both belong to the San Francisco Bay Area, although both cities have their own football players, but one in the American League and the other in the National League, an average of four years can only play each other, there is no deep hatred between each other, but more of a sense of closeness.

The Oakland Raiders are known as the "Black and Silver Army" because of the team's black and silver colors, and they, like the San Francisco 49ers, are traditional powerhouses in the league, having won the Super Bowl three times in the late 70s and early 80s; The team's last glory came in 2002.

That year, the Oakland Raiders made it to the Super Bowl final, facing the Tampa Bay Pirates. At the time, there was still a bad relationship between the two teams.

In 2001, the Raiders were coached by young coach Jon Grudon — who has now moved on to commentators and previously commented on the San Francisco 49ers.

Before taking the helm of the Raiders, Gruden had been in the coaching position for a full decade, but he was always an assistant coach, either a close end coach or an outside receiver coach; In 1998, the Raiders invited Gruden to be the team's head coach at the age of 35, which caused an uproar in the football industry.

After two seasons of running-in, Gruden finally showed his ability, leading the Raiders to the playoffs in 2000 and 2001, showing his ability and becoming the most popular young coach in the entire league, which also attracted the attention of the Tampa Bay Pirates.

The Buccaneers poached Gruden with first-round picks in 2002 and 2003, second-round picks in 2002 and 2004, and an additional $8 million in cash.

Who wouldn't have thought that Gruden would lead the team to the Super Bowl in his first season with the Buccaneers and face his old boss, the Bole Raiders. In the end, the Buccaneers suppressed the Raiders with their peak defensive group, and won the opponent with a score of "48-21", winning the only Super Bowl championship trophy in the history of the Pirates.

This is definitely a bad fate for the Raiders.

By the way, Gruden was only 39 years old when he won the championship, making him the youngest coach in the history of the league to win the Super Bowl! This record has not been broken by anyone to this day! For reference, Jim Hubble, who won the Super Bowl this year, is forty-nine years old.

2002 was the last glory for the Oakland Raiders.

Since then, they've missed the playoffs for ten years in a row; The San Francisco 49ers also missed the playoffs in 2002, and the two teams can be described as brothers and sisters, and fans in the two cities also cherish each other.

This year, San Francisco's 49ers won the Super Bowl, and Oakland celebrated with a bang, expressing brotherhood in the Bay Area.

However, compared to the madness and enthusiasm of New York, the fans in Oakland are more cordial and friendly - of course, perhaps because this is a basketball stadium, which allows Lu Ke and Watt to still walk freely, and the fans just say hello or shake hands excitedly and excitedly, at most they take a group photo and sign autographs, and then disperse on their own, leaving enough space for the two to move.

All the way to the bustling into the Oracle Arena, by this time the arena has been more than sixty percent of the seats, the noise of breathing is endless, the vendors who are peddling popcorn and hot dogs are moving back and forth between the seats, and there are many familiar friends who greet each other, and the early spring cold suddenly quietly dissolves into the warmth of the room.

"Sure enough, it's still comfortable with basketball." Watt leaned into Lu Ke's ear and sighed.

The NBA's venues are all indoor, which minimizes the impact of weather; And most of the NFL's venues are outdoor venues, and the weather is part of the game, which is also destined to make the difference in game comfort.

From the outside into the indoor, the noisy noise obviously gathered, accompanied by the hot heat wave rolling in the ears, and even the eardrums began to buzz and agitation, and before you knew it, the blood began to boil.

The scale of the Oracle Arena cannot be compared with the Candlestick Stadium, which can accommodate 70,000 people, while the Oracle Arena can only accommodate 20,000 people. Standing on the Oracle Arena with both feet, you feel more of the tightness of being together, as if you are playing side by side with the players.

"Then would you like to consider changing careers? There are more than 80 games a year in the NBA, and I think you should be able to handle it. Lu Ke replied with a smile, and then saw Watt shivering, and shook his head again and again to express his gratitude, "I'm used to the transparency and spaciousness of our court, and when I suddenly enter the room, why do I feel narrow." ”

Delusion, this is definitely an illusion.

But Watt nodded in agreement, "It's so close, I don't think I'm going to be able to breathe." ”

"That's why there's a VIP seat next to the stadium, because people just want to feel the thrill of suffocation up close." Lu Ke teased while looking for their seats, "Our stadium is more difficult. ”

"You mean super close range like ice hockey?" Watt also quipped, which made Lu Ke laugh.

As he spoke, the footsteps of the two people had already come to the front row.

These tickets are all provided by Curry, and they are specially arranged behind the Golden State Warriors' player seats, so you can feel the tension of the game up close, including the head coach's on-court tactical arrangements and so on.

Saying sorry all the way, in the process of knee to knee passing, the two came to the middle of the seat, Lu Ke lowered his head and checked the ticket seat number in his hand, but found that a black canvas bag was placed on his seat, looked left and right, and his eyes fell on the young woman next to him.

The woman was looking down through a manual or a book, her long blonde hair hanging down, covering her entire cheeks, and she could only faintly outline a full forehead, but she could not recognize the contours of her facial features, let alone the specific appearance of her face.

"Excuse me, is this your backpack?" Lu Ke said politely.

"......" the young woman did not answer.

Is it because you're wearing headphones? Lu Ke politely patted the young woman's arm and said again, "I'm sorry, this is my seat, is this your backpack?" ”

The other party still didn't react.

Odd!

Lu Ke looked back at Watt, his eyes revealing incomprehension; Watt just shrugged his shoulders, not knowing why.

Lu Ke turned his head to look over again, and then saw that the body of the woman in front of him was trembling slightly, and the long golden hair hanging down like a waterfall was also trembling faintly, what the hell is this...... Scared? Or are you snickering?

Very strange!

Lu Ke leaned forward slightly, looked down condescendingly, and then he could see the pair of eyelashes trembling slightly like butterfly wings, as well as the bridge of the nose and the small nose tip that were slightly erect like jade pillars.

Lu Ke suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, straightened his waist again, and continued to maintain the steady voice just now, "This young lady, is this your backpack?" It's in my place, can you take it away? ”

The other party still didn't react, but Lu Ke didn't mind, and continued, "It's really rare to come to Oracle Arena to watch the game, but still haven't given up the reading habit of fragmented time, may I ask if you are studying at Berkeley?" I came to watch the game, which player did I support in the end? ”

Watt's face was still full of confusion, but Lu Ke signaled him to be calm, picked up the canvas bag, sat down in his seat, and then turned his back to the blonde beauty next to him, and continued, "Are you here to watch the game alone?" Do you like basketball? Now there are more and more female fans who like sports, which is a good thing. ”

"I have a boyfriend." The young woman finally spoke.

Although she changed her tone, she still didn't get rid of her usual speaking style, which further confirmed Lu Ke's guess, which made the corners of his mouth rise slightly.

"Oh, so you can hear it, just deliberately pretending not to hear it?" Lu Ke raised his final note and said meaningfully, "Then this really makes me sad, I have no malice, I just want to be seated, this is my right, isn't it?" On the contrary, it is rude for you to keep people away from you. ”

"I already have a boyfriend and I'm not interested in anyone else." The young woman repeated.

Lu Ke didn't feel frustrated at all, and said with a smile, "What era is it now, even marriage can be divorced, let alone just a love relationship?" Your boyfriend asks you to come and watch the game alone, either he is not considerate at all, or he is not interested in sports, and I don't think he should be a competent boyfriend. ”

"Now that we're here today, maybe we can have a short one-day date during the game, I think that's a good idea, what do you think?" Lu Ke's voice is polite and gentlemanly, kind and sunny, and it is easy to make people feel good, especially when inviting women.

Watt, who was sitting on the other side, was full of question marks: Lu Ke is not usually in this style, why did he suddenly change today?

And the young woman didn't hold back after all, and turned her head suddenly, "Bambi! Be honest! Do you do the same with other women? ”

"Can't bear it anymore?" Lu Ke didn't panic, and the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed directly, "I haven't used a killer trick yet, you just broke the gong, shouldn't I be glad now that you didn't become an actor?" The basic skills of acting skills are really not up to par. ”

The women sitting facing each other showed their neat white teeth, and began to grind their teeth towards Lu Ke like sharks, protesting and demonstrating.

Watt felt that his thoughts were a little out of pace, "Candace? ”
