After defeating the declining Purple and Gold 104-95, the Warriors left Los Angeles that night and returned to Oakland to face the Cleveland Cavaliers.
It was also the final stop on the Cavaliers' six-game straight road trip to the West, after winning only the Trail Blazers and Jazz in their previous five games.
At the beginning of the season, Yang Di entrusted his agent Bill Duffy to find a location for him to open a restaurant.
Bill Duffy helped Yang Di buy a faΓ§ade on the street near Chinatown after crossing the Bay Bridge, and then renovated the Chinese-style restaurant that Yang Di wanted to see according to the design of a designer invited from China, and at the same time, he named the restaurant "No. 8 Restaurant." β
The number eight is Yang Di's jersey, and he has always regarded this number as his lucky number.
On this morning, after Yang Di returned to Oakland, he took Nancy, Anne and Tang Xinran across the sea to San Francisco. He called Richardson, Fisher and Dunleavy to join the Warriors' 15-man team, including the coach, general manager and other well-connected staff, to the restaurant for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
On a mild morning, the streets are filled with commuters in a hurry. Boys and girls, mixed with people, coupled with high-decibel music rendering, the usually quiet decoration store suddenly became lively and interesting. Before eight o'clock, Yang Di stood at the door of the store with a smile, and next to him stood Bill Duffy, then the tall and luxurious Anne and Nancy, and the guests were endless.
A few minutes later, a local San Francisco taxi pulled up at the door.
A pair of shiny white leather shoes stepped out of the car, and then a tall and burly man in a straight suit as if he was going to participate in the draft came out of the car, with a green face and a rough face, after seeing Yang Di, his eyes lit up, and he reached out to greet him enthusiastically.
"LeBron, you're finally here!" Yang Di laughed and stepped forward to hug James.
Although the two teams are about to play each other, in private, the two have a good relationship, and Yang Di is also happy to be friends with a talented young man like James, who is both a competitor and a good friend who encourages each other.
Yang Di took James back inside the restaurant and looked at the time.
After eight o'clock, the staff recruited at the door lit firecrackers with ease, and Yang Di cut the ribbon for the entire restaurant in the cheers of everyone, and then revealed an antique plaque.
Yang Di led the crowd inside, Yang Di kept introducing the structure and design of the entire restaurant, and what was more funny was that he hung the Warriors' pre-season makeup photos on the walls, as well as some of his own signed landscape paintings, mostly domestic attractions.
Yang Di said triumphantly: "You see that I am so strong and in such good health, the fans must be very curious about what my diet looks like, some thin fans, who want to improve their physical fitness, may come to my restaurant to eat, then the business will not be bad." β
Everyone laughed, but LeBron nodded thoughtfully.
"So you're positioned as a basketball-themed restaurant?" Bill Duffy asked with a smile.
"It can also be said that it is a deliberate propaganda through influence, look, how rich in Chinese elements." Yang Di explained, pointing to the surrounding walls.
Yang Di stood in the front row in style, then opened his hands and said to everyone: "Today I will cook myself and give everyone a taste of my craftsmanship." β
The restaurant is divided into two floors, the ground floor and the second floor, and after Yang Di announced the news, he took the lead and walked up the stairs.
In addition to the red lanterns, reliefs and jade designs, there are also some Western elements in the store, and Yang Di's menu includes some traditional Western dishes such as grilled steaks, although he thinks Chinese dishes are more delicious. However, in order to cater to the tastes of the local people, he also does not mind making some changes.
Some media also poured into the restaurant to promote Yang Di.
As a Chinese star with huge influence, Yang Di's every move is concerned about everyone's hearts, and many people regard him as an idol and chase his footsteps.
At noon, the Chinatown chef invited by Yang Di made some dishes and let the people who came taste them.
He himself tasted the sweet, sour, salty and spicy in it, and commented on the key points of some dishes, which made the chefs who had just reported drenched in sweat, thinking that Yang Di was really from a professional background.
At the night party, Yang Di invited everyone to participate, he himself made some high-quality exquisite side dishes for everyone, LeBron, Richardson and others were the first time to eat the dishes made by Yang Di himself, and immediately gave a thumbs up, Yang Di happily said to the two of them: "Next time I come to my house, I will make a little more for you to eat." β
There were so many players who came in the evening that the whole restaurant turned directly into a sorority party for the Warriors.
Yang Di interspersed it, handing over wine glasses from time to time, staggering, and between the lights and shadows, it seemed that he saw a more mature side than before.
In addition to Nancy, there were also many female companions who came that night, as well as Richardson's girlfriend, Dunleavy's girlfriend, etc., all of whom came prepared.
On the contrary, the little emperor of the expedition became a little like a lonely man, but it didn't take long for some second- and third-rate stars of the acting company invited by Yang Di to entangle him, and he became warblers and warblers around him, so he was not happy.
Montgomery laughed sinisterly: "A few more, it's better to squeeze James' body dry, and see how he plays tomorrow." β
Tang Xinran was in a hurry to go back to catch up with the manuscript, and after participating for a while, Nancy was ready to send her back first.
Yang Di gave Anne, who was sitting there with her legs crossed, a look, and both of them stood up.
That night, Anne was the biggest acting star in the arena in addition to the athlete star, her every move attracted the attention of many people, even James's gaze also moved, and the unprecedented heat burst out from the depths of his eyes.
Anne Hathaway sneaked over to the toilet, and then Yang Di sneaked up from the side and grabbed her hand, just like the two had met for the first time, and the two of them followed the edge of darkness that the restaurant lights couldn't reach, and then prepared to sneak out together.
"Go to the back." Yang Di pulled her to change direction, and the two pushed open the kitchen door directly along the passage, and then in the stunned eyes of a group of cooks, they went directly out of the street house through the back door.
As soon as they went out, Yang Di and Anne kissed fiercely as if they had liberated two golden birds.
Yang Di took her in his arms, bent her neck, and kissed her face, she immediately turned her head, sealed Yang Di with her lips, and eagerly tongue warped.
The two seemed to melt each other, and above their heads, a full moon hung in the starry sky, illuminating the neon lights of the city.
