726 Struggling forward
On New Year's Eve, San Francisco issued a special decree, on February 2 and -1, West Coast time, the city allowed citizens to set off fireworks and firecrackers.
On the night of February 2nd, American time, it is the Lantern Festival for Chinese people.
Speaking of which, the time for Chinese Americans to celebrate the New Year is different from that of mainland China. The problem is that there is time difference. The mainland celebrates New Year's Eve, and the United States celebrates daytime. Chinese people can't celebrate New Year's Eve during the day, right?
By the same token, the Lantern Festival is also different.
After the game against the Celtics on February 2, the Warriors gave Chamberlain a small holiday and allowed him to rest for two days before returning to the team to fight, just to let him go back and celebrate the Lantern Festival with his family.
Chamberlain was also happy because it was what he deserved. When we celebrated the New Year some time ago, it happened to be February 13 and 14. At that time, he was an All-Star. He could not miss the All-Stars and went home to celebrate the New Year, right?
This Lantern Festival is considered to make up for the shortcomings of the New Year and reunite with your family.
Chamberlain brought his parents, grandparents and grandmothers to the villa of the cliff house, and called Hit, Li brothers and others, plus the doll Shirley, and more than a dozen people were very lively. In addition, Li Qun invited a few people, and Zhang Zilin was listed. Chamberlain felt that this festival was perfect.
The only thing that is somewhat short of being the previous game against the Celtics.
From 99 to 100, Chamberlain executed the final free throw, which was the most test of the big heart, but Chamberlain withstood the pressure and calmly sent the ball into the rim, dragging the game into overtime.
If the Warriors played overtime with the Celtics in the past, the latter would have lost. The Warriors' main force was young people and they were more physically strong. If they beat the three old giants, they would easily add PA.
The situation turned around this time. The Warriors' three backrests were simply torture. It was the limit to be able to stick to the third game. In overtime, they finally collapsed.
In the overtime game, Garnett first scored 2 points. In fact, he wanted to attract Chamberlain to block and then foul, but Chamberlain didn't let him do his wish, so he just disturbed him.
Then, Chamberlain retaliated with a jump shot. After Garnett, Wallace provoked Chamberlain in the penalty area, but he wanted to seduce him to take action. As a result, Chamberlain gave him a big hat frankly, and roared at the Tianzun for a while.
The Warriors counterattacked, Iverson made a throw shot. Pierce broke through and made a layup. Chamberlain did not get out of the way for a while. He hit him right away. He took a defensive foul and was out of the field with six free throws.
The Celtics immediately celebrated, and the goddess of victory finally smiled at them.
Moreover, because the free throw time has come, Pierce not only sent Chamberlain off the court, but also made both free throws, beating the rabbit and killing two birds with one stone.
The Warriors' attack could not be opened, and the inside lacked cover, West made a long-range shot, Garnett grabbed the rebound and counterattacked, and Junzi Lei made a layup.
Iverson made a breakthrough with his last physical strength. After throwing, he was knocked to the ground. After a long time, he got up. The floor was directly wet with the sweat on his body.
After that, Garnett made a layup with his backhand, roared Tianzun and turned around and hooked his hand, and the Celtics led by 6 points. Iverson tried his best to break through again. After encountering a foul, he made both free throws. The Celtics immediately returned a three-point long shot.
The Warriors can only make fouls by their personal ability. This time West hit the first free throw, but it is estimated that he missed the free throw in the second free throw, but he snatched the frontcourt rebound but was called for a violation.
After that, the Warriors had no chance to turn around and eventually lost to the Celtics with l10-l6, and unfortunately lost the game.
Although they lost, the fans were not stingy with applause and cheering. After the game, all the fans stood up to cheer for the Warriors.
This game is truly a glorious even though it is defeated. In an interview after the game, Jun Zi Lei said in a depressed mood: "Our opponent is very strong, just like a battle between a hunter and a tiger. The hunter cleverly chose a chance to get seriously injured in the tiger, but he was still almost eaten by the tiger."
The Warriors' three-backback can still make it to overtime with the second in the East, which is really admirable.
However, Junzi Lei's speech made some people in the Celtic Army very dissatisfied, thinking that he was trying to defeat others and destroying his own power.
In this battle, Chamberlain played for 3 minutes, scoring 3 points, 2 rebounds and 6 blocks. Iverson scored points in 2 minutes and scored 4 steals. If he hadn't continued his firepower in the second half, the Warriors would have been in a miserable state.
Chamberlain was flipping through the sports newspaper, and Hit and the Li brothers came over and asked, "Are you still watching the game? Today is an important day, do you know? Stop watching the game, come on."
After hearing the words of the three of them, Chamberlain rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I know this is an important day. It's Lantern Festival, so I'll ask you to celebrate the festival."
"What Lantern Festival?" Michael Li asked, muffled, "Isn't it the Lantern Festival?"
Americans do not understand the names of the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival is TeLavruFettv1, that is, the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival is the "Lantern Festival", which is easy for them to understand.
Of course, there is no Lantern Festival in the United States, and this is not a legal holiday. However, there are many Chinese in San Francisco, and the descendants of the dragons must celebrate this traditional festival. The city government of San Francisco must respect this, especially after Chamberlain's strong rise now.
Chamberlain has now become the city business card of San Francisco. On the Lantern Festival, the government allowed Chinese people to set off firecrackers at most, but this year it expanded the scope and allowed Chinese people to set off fireworks.
Fireworks are always more satisfying than firecrackers. You should know that the United States attaches great importance to environmental protection and will never pass the matter of setting off fireworks and firecrackers. Even on their local festivals, in addition to the New Year (New Year's Day), fireworks can be set off on Christmas, and the government will unify them.
Now, due to Chamberlain, in the second half of last year, the San Francisco City Council passed an agenda that allowed Chinese people to set off fireworks and firecrackers during the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival.
This is a manifestation of the rise in Chinese status. At that time, this incident had a great influence in the Chinese community. San Francisco began to introduce more policies that favor Chinese people, which also attracted Chinese elites.
In fact, what Chinese people want is not policy preferential treatment. As long as they can treat the same as local white people and be treated equally and not discriminated against, they will be satisfied.
The Lantern Festival at Chamberlain's family is held at noon, so that they can watch the domestic Lantern Festival Gala. They have programs in the evening and will attend the Lantern Festival Gala organized by San Francisco.
Chamberlain's father played patriotic songs such as "Although I wear a dress, my heart is still Chinese" on the speaker. They had already greeted their neighbors in advance and also sent food like Lantern Festival, so it was not considered disturbing the public.
Chamberlain sighed and wanted to popularize the story of the Lantern Festival to the three of them. At this time, Zhang Zilin came over, and the Li brothers smiled cunningly and ran over to cater to Zhang Zilin.
Chamberlain said angrily: "Hey, I want to tell you a story."
Hit looked back at him disdainfully and said, "Teacher Zhang will also say that since that's the case, we have beautiful women to watch, so let's listen to you."
At this time, Zhang Zilin was indeed called a beauty. The air conditioner in the villa raised the temperature. She took off her coat and changed into a blue low-neck long skirt.
I saw a circle of pink thigh-neck lace around her pink neck, and the dreamy lace edges extended down the shape of her chest. The tall and plump peaks raised the blue elastic fabric high, which was so beautiful. Her skirt was slit and extended to the middle of her thighs, revealing her snow-white and plump thighs wrapped in white transparent stockings, revealing her sexy in conservatism.
In addition, her round and plump buttocks were raised up at an incredible angle, forming a curve of desire with her slender willow waist. With her slender and well-proportioned legs, the charm of a domineering sister is the most attractive to little boys like the Li brothers.
When he ran to Zhang Zilin, the three little guys with no hair were all grown and said with a shameless face: "Teacher Zhang, you are so beautiful tonight. I bet that you will definitely be the queen of the dance party today. Can you tell us the origin of the Lantern Festival?"
After saying that, Li Qun walked downstairs, as if to compete with Zhang Zilin for beauty. Li Qun, who usually likes to face the sky, also did careful makeup today.
She was wearing a simple white cheongsam, her soft hair was scattered on her shoulders, and she trembled slightly as she walked. Li Qun had delicate facial features and white skin, and her face was slightly decorated with makeup on her face, which made her look more pure and elegant.
The cheongsam's slit is neither high nor low, just right, just revealing its strong and slender calves and round knees. When she moves, her slender white thighs appear and disappear. She walked downstairs with a smile, and her slender legs are wrapped in thin transparent flesh-colored stockings. For a moment, pure beauty and sexy are at the same time.
Hit patted Bruce on the shoulder and said, "My man, I'd better go and listen to Li Qun's introduction to the Lantern Festival. You guys will play here first."
Chamberlain whistled, pulled Li Qun's little hand and praised, "The Queen of Lantern Festival tonight must belong to you."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw two sharp sword-like gazes. Zhang Zilin looked at him unhappily, her angrily look cute and charming.
However, when Li Qun turned his head, Zhang Zilin's gaze suddenly became gentle as water, and she looked extremely ladylike with a smile.
Bruce and Michael stood aside silly, looking at Li Qun and Zhang Zilin, and they were extremely happy for a moment.
The innocent Shirley and the cute doll then came out, and now the two fools had no enough eyes.
The party at noon focuses on communicating feelings, and the dinner is the main meal at night.
San Francisco held a magnificent lantern exhibition in the central garden. There are many types of lanterns, combining Chinese and American elements into one.
Next to Chang'e's flight to the moon is the handsome smile of Iron Man, the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and the Fantastic Four, while Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong are fighting against Superman Batman. In addition, there are fixed lights in shape such as Panda, American Brown Bear, North American Red-tailed Eagle, etc., which are full of colors.
The Chinese ambassador and consul to the United States came to congratulate, delivered speeches, reported on the good situation in the country, and inspired overseas Chinese to bring glory to the motherland.
The Speaker of the California Legislature is also here, and there is no shortage of top and lower-level officials of the San Francisco government, and they are all present to "summarize the grand event together."
These people spoke one by one, but they were relatively short. The unified topic was to express their great appreciation of China's traditional culture and praise the Chinese for their great contribution to the diversity of the United States. They knew that many Chinese had votes in their hands, and even if the gongs, drums, firecrackers were shaking, they would not cover their ears.
Celebration is naturally indispensable. After the officials spoke, the Lantern Festival parade began in the New Year, with lions, dragons, firecrackers, or garden parties. Rows of stalls were filled with snacks from all over China. The garden center held a party, a chorus, a small ensemble, a quick-board writing, and a two-person turn. Children in the audience ran around everywhere, and there were joyful scenes everywhere.
Many black and white people also come to watch it, and there are riddles on the lanterns. Only a few of these riddles are thoroughly Chinese local culture, and more closely related to American culture. After all, most of the Chinese present are actually native Chinese Americans.
The evening party reached its climax when the Lantern Festival Queen was selected. As long as you have Chinese ancestry, you can sign up for the election no matter how many, and Chamberlain is also one of the guests.
Neither Zhang Zilin nor Li Qun participated. The former was Miss World. Participating in such an event was really bullying. The gap between professional models and amateur models had to be calculated in light years, just like when Chamberlain and others pretended to be an old man to bully people on the street court.
The latter belongs to Chamberlain's girlfriend and is almost also a fiancée. His popularity is very different from other contestants. If he goes on stage to run for the election, he is also cheating.
