Chapter 443: Matchmaking
The hot and soft little hand pulled Levi's neck, and he spoke in a lower voice, but others around him could hear, "That ball."
Throughout the season, Levi contributed not less than eight classic scenes, but in the end it was the catch in the divisional round that made him stand out. Because of the opponent and the nature of the game, I am afraid that this will be a long time to come. It became an iconic moment for Levi.
Li Wei's heart was like a mirror, a smile crept up the corner of his mouth, and he whispered in reply, "Yes, that's me."
Cole's smile finally broke out.
Curry's face was filled with wonder. He didn't expect Levi and Cole to get along so naturally.
Levi looked at the No. 30 jersey in Cole's hand, then looked down at himself——
He was a guest today and was completely unprepared, so naturally he had nothing to give.
Cole's red cheeks were covered with tears, and he still looked frightened. The tears in his eyes that had not been wiped clean looked pitiful. The five- and six-year-old child didn't even know how to express his grievances and fears. What had I just experienced.
After thinking about it, "I have a game next week. If you are interested, you can come with Stephen. What do you think?"
After speaking, Levi took out Donald Yu's business card and placed it in Cole's palm.
Curry didn't react at first, half a beat too late: next week's game?
Then, he looked at Levi with astonishment.
Levi looked at Curry and then at Cole. The two baby faces looked the same, "As expected of a primary school student."
Curry reacted immediately and laughed twice, not to be outdone, "Ha. Ha. Including you, there should be three."
In the eyes of Americans, Levi's Chinese-American face is extremely young, and may even be younger than Curry. There is no problem saying that he is a primary school student, otherwise the rookie season is about to end, and people will not still shout "rookie" So cheerful.
Levi shrugged slightly, "The garden is almost going to become a kindergarten."
"Haha." Curry also laughed happily.
but.
Security personnel came up again to break the atmosphere. In fact, they don't want to, but now they have managed to control the situation and the crowd has calmed down. If they don't retreat as soon as possible, it will be terrible if it surges up again later——
Look, when they heard Levi's invitation to the little boy to watch the game live, one or two eyes were straightened. The turbulent undercurrent boiled up again and was almost unstoppable.
The best way to calm down the scene is for Levi to leave the scene.
"Mr. Levi, we should leave. If we continue to stay, the situation may get out of control again or even escalate."
Levi understood, and hugged Cole forcefully again, without stopping, turned and left surrounded by security personnel.
Curry:? ? ? Hey, what about me?
The NBA superstar was left alone like this, with no one paying attention to him. His baby face was full of confusion and shock. It was simply unbelievable.
Not only him, but also the people around him couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.
The scene was once joyful.
…
After walking out of the encirclement for a while, Levi realized that Curry had been abandoned, and couldn't help but stop and look back, trying to find Curry.
"Elementary schoolboy?"
"Elementary schoolboy!"
The sound was like a stone thrown into a cave, unable to evoke any response, but the security guard gave Levi a response, "Don't worry about him."
Li Wei laughed dumbly——
Is he worried about Curry's safety?
Apparently not.
But is it really okay for them to just abandon Curry where he is and ignore him?
There was a sense of absurd joy in the scene in front of me. Seeing them walking all the way, it was not the direction to the players' locker room, at least it didn't look like it; but it was also Levi's first time coming to Madison Square Garden. Not sure, so I asked directly.
"I thought we were heading to the home team's locker room to greet the players." The man who looked like the security captain answered again, "Don't worry about them."
There it is again.
Levi laughed dumbly, "I think what I need to worry about now is myself."
With a small self-deprecating joke, you can clearly feel that the atmosphere immediately became relaxed and cheerful among the security personnel. It was very hard for one or two of them to hold back their laughter, and the corner of the mouth of the team leader even twitched slightly.
But this time, the security team leader did not continue to lie.
"We are heading to the VIP room, Mr. James Dolan is waiting for you."
I see.
The man behind the scenes who had been hiding his true identity all night finally showed up.
If it was Dolan, this would make sense, and everyone else would step aside.
No wonder the security team has been urging Levi and leaving Curry behind, escorting Levi away from the scene wholeheartedly. Worrying that the fans and the audience will lose control again is an excuse. The call from the team boss who has the power of life and death is the truth.
Not only them, Levi's doubts that had been hanging in the air were finally answered. He knew that Dolan would definitely appear, but he didn't know when.
Now, the answer has emerged.
Levi felt a little relieved, and the security captain relaxed a little. They had now entered the backcourt, there were no fans or players, so they didn't need to worry about their safety, and their tense minds relaxed a little.
"You don't have to worry. If anyone needs to worry about their safety, it's us."
After speaking, he glanced at Levi with his peripheral vision.
Levi heard this and noticed it, with a smile in his eyes, "Don't worry, I don't eat people. Your meat is rough and dry, and tasteless when chewed. It's a waste of time, so I'd better refuse."
The security team captain was startled and looked at Levi with horror on his face, but he only saw a calm and calm face, looking over with innocence written on his face, as if he didn't understand what was happening at all, which made his knees weak. .
Fortunately, the journey was not far, and the security personnel escorted Levi to the VIP room smoothly. He stood at the door, knocked on the door, and spoke loudly.
"Mr. Levi has arrived."
Without waiting for a response from the VIP room, the security team leader opened the door without looking inside at all. He turned his back to the room and made an invitation gesture towards Levi.
Li Wei's face was full of sincerity, "It was a pleasure chatting. I hope we can meet again next time."
Security team leader: ...
The other security personnel all stood at attention against the wall with their eyes and noses attentively, their eyes fixed and expressionless, but if you look closely, you can see the slight surging of their jaws and throats:
It's really hard to hold back the laughter. Sure enough, the work is hard and expensive.
Open the door, close the door, and—
Pfft.
Finally, I don’t know who was the first to succeed, and there was laughter in the corridor.
Behind the door panel, Levi was full of questions: Where is James Dolan?
Levi doesn’t know Dolan, but since Dolan invited Levi to watch the game, basic etiquette as a guest still requires understanding the host, so before coming tonight, Levi did some serious homework.
At least, don't admit the wrong person, otherwise you may really make a joke.
However.
Standing in the high-end VIP room above Madison Square Garden, Levi was still caught off guard. Looking at the three people in front of him, he had a question mark:
Who are you?
