Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 593 The New Arena
"Well, very good, good, put it here! West, what do you think?" Frank stood in front of the showcase, and after directing the workers to carry it, he asked Li Weisi beside him.

"Not bad, the venue is huge!" Li Weisi looked around and said casually.

"I mean how about putting the trophy here?" Frank said, pointing to the display case.

"It's up to you to decide. When can I try the new arena here?" Li Weisi said expectantly.

"Go and ask Stephen, he is in charge of the decoration of the entire arena." Frank said helplessly.

"Okay!" Li Weisi was so excited that he ran out like a child.

Frank looked at Li Weisi, who looked like a kid running after school, shook his head with a smile, then turned his eyes away, looked at the golden championship trophy in the showcase, and felt full of emotion: This is the second championship!
At the beginning of the NBA, the championship trophy was owned in rotation. Until 1977, not only was the trophy changed to its current appearance, but a new one was created every year before the finals.

Therefore, the Warriors have won five championships in theory, but they actually have only two trophies. This time, Frank brought them and placed them in the central showcase of the exhibition hall of the new arena. .

Five full days have passed since the day of winning the championship. Although two days have passed since the parade, the entire Golden State is still immersed in the joy of winning the championship.

However, for fans in San Francisco and Oakland, the mood is completely different.

As the new arena will be officially opened next season, the Warriors will also move to San Francisco, which will allow the Warriors to return to the embrace of San Francisco once again since 1971.

This naturally aroused the disapproval of the Oakland fans. Although the two cities are only separated by a bridge, he is still not a city, and it will inevitably lead to a war of words.

But in any case, whether it is for the development of the team or for economic benefits, it is a better choice to move the team to San Francisco after all.

As for the new arena, Frank also spent a lot of hard work. The investment alone cost more than 2 million US dollars, covering an area of ​​about 75 square feet, about 7 hectares, and the arena can accommodate 18000 people.

Not only that, but as a high-tech industrial base backed by Silicon Valley, the entire arena has a sense of modernity from the very beginning of its construction to its current decoration.

For example, the sound control equipment on the top of the arena can reflect the noise from the audience in the arena during the game, creating a more enthusiastic atmosphere.

Another example is the floor usually used in the arena, which adopts the latest high-tech full-coverage floor, which ranks first in the league in terms of toughness and grip.

In addition, there is the league's largest high-resolution screen hanging in the home arena. Although compared with decades later, the pixels are not a bit worse, but in this era, it is definitely full of sci-fi.

And Frank also specially designed this room in the arena, which is specially for fans to visit the exhibition room. It not only displays the history of the Warriors since the establishment of the team, but also the experience of famous players in the Warriors, such as: Wilt Chamberlain, Nei Thurmond, Rick Barry, etc., and of course Li Weisi, who only played for four years.

No one has any objection to Li Weisi being selected. It can even be said that most of the fans came to visit because of Li Weisi.

Moreover, Li Weisi put his two MVP trophies and two FMVP trophies here, making it No. 1 in the history of the Warriors in terms of honor.

After looking around the exhibition room, Frank was very satisfied. He thought that it would be more perfect to add some excellent music to the warrior or Li Weisi, but he didn't know which one to copy... which one should he use?
What a happy trouble.

Frank, who was struggling, suddenly saw Li Weisi who was dejected and came back again, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Don't mention it, Stephen said no." Li Weisi said depressed.

"Then wait for a while, anyway, you will play in this stadium for a long time in the future." Frank laughed.

"Hey, that's the only way to go." Li Weisi sighed, looking very depressed, like a brat who didn't get his favorite toy.

"Okay, don't be sad, let's go, let's go back first, let them clean up and prepare for our new season."

After finishing speaking, the two left the new arena together, took a car, and returned to Li Weisi's home.

On the way, looking at Li Weisi, who had not spoken much and was not in high spirits, Frank couldn't help asking: "West, if Jeff and the others leave, next season, do you think the team can win the championship?"

Frank's words immediately attracted Li Weisi's attention, and he turned his head and asked, "Are they all leaving?"

"Yeah! Jeff, Dak, and Detref have all decided to test the waters of the free market. Even Reggie, whose contract expires next season, has also applied for a trade with me. Hey, the hearts are lost. It's hard to lead the team." Frank leaned on his back, looking like he was having a headache.

"Let's go if you want to. It's not a big deal. The other players are also very good! What's more, the starters have not left. I am full of confidence in defending the title." Li Weisi thought for a while and said seriously.

Hearing Li Weisi's answer, Frank felt a lot better, gave Li Weisi a smile, and couldn't help joking: "It's great that you think so. We agreed at the beginning, you play well, and I will equip you with a super powerful I thought you would blame me for not being careful!"

"That's impossible. The team you selected is really strong. I am very grateful. At least I can't imagine how painful it would be for me to lead the Bulls to the championship."

"Hahaha, it's true. If I'm not as good as them, I'd be ashamed of being...a genius!" While speaking, Frank paused as if he suddenly realized something, and then asked again to cover up: " Do you have any thoughts on next week's draft? Like what kind of players do you want?"

Li Weisi didn't understand the cover-up in Frank's words at all, and just said casually: "I think the current lineup is already very strong. As for what kind of rookie, you can choose it. Anyway, I am completely assured of your draft ability. .”

"Then you're not going to the draft?"

"I can't go. It happened to be the premiere of Marisa's new movie that day. I have to accompany her to attend." Speaking of this, Li Weisi's face changed instantly. It was obvious that he was very resistant to this kind of thing.

"That's good! I'll go with Attles for this draft!" Frank said with a final word.
