After the agreement was reached, Liu Yun and Zhang Xiaolong should have returned to China early.

However, the Google CEO in front of him, Sergey Brin, was obviously in a good mood, and said something that surprised Liu Yun a little: "Mr. Liu, I have a few tickets for the first row of NBA games, if you and Mr. Zhang are interested, you can go and take a look." After Liu Yun heard this, his heart couldn't help but move and stopped.

"How do you know the team?"

"Mr. Liu, in California, the most famous is of course the Los Angeles Lakers, they just won the championship in the 2008-2009 season, but this is Silicon Valley, and the fans in Silicon Valley support the Golden State Warriors, even though they are only a team on the fringes of the playoffs. ”

Golden State Warriors?

I remember that in his previous life, he once had such a thought, going to watch an NBA game live.

When he was working, he was so busy that his interest in watching football decreased a lot.

But Liu Yun still clearly remembers that around the time of 2016, he was like returning to that period of youth and chasing the Golden State Warriors.

That year, the Golden State Warriors' form was in full swing, and Liu Yun kept counting them with his hands on the count, and they were a few games away from breaking the 72-win record.

Basketball god Michael Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to a 72-10 record in the regular season, once hailed as something that could not be broken by latecomers.

But this season's Golden State Warriors have done just that, with a 73-9 record.

Of course, what made Liu Yun a little disappointed was that this team, which was only trying to set a regular season record, may have really consumed too much, and was overturned by the opponent in the finals.

After that, many people will sarcastically say in a sarcastic tone: You are the runner-up with 73 wins.

"I've always wanted to visit the site, and thank you Mr. Brin for your generous invitation. Liu Yun retracted his thoughts and replied with a smile.

He suddenly glanced up at the calendar and asked, "It's only the end of September, so the new season hasn't started so early." ”

Brin replied, "It's just a preseason, and if Mr. Liu is willing to stay here for an extra month, I can ask you to watch the regular season." ”

"I still have a job. Liu Yun smiled helplessly, "The preseason is not bad." ”

……

The home stadium of the Golden State Warriors is known as Oracle Arena.

That's right, its title sponsor is the famous Oracle company, the world's largest database software company, along with Apple, Microsoft, and Google.

The Golden State Warriors aren't far from being the biggest teams in the NBA today, but one thing worth talking about is that the fans of this team are probably the richest of all NBA teams.

Even though the famous Los Angeles Lakers have many Hollywood stars as their fans, they are still a lot worse than the fans of the Golden State Warriors.

There is Silicon Valley, with IT elites from all over the United States and even the world, as well as top Internet tycoons.

Sergei Brin took Liu Yun and Zhang Xiaolong to sit in the first row of the VIP seats.

Liu Yun looked at this stadium that he had watched countless times in front of the TV in his previous life, but now he was already there, and he couldn't help but feel a little trance.

It's the same as what you see on TV, gorgeous, atmospheric, fashionable and dazzling, and it has more of a sense of reality.

Beside him, in addition to Sergei Brinxian, there are several familiar or unfamiliar IT bigwigs, who are also sitting there leisurely.

"Mr. Liu, I'm actually a little panicked. Zhang Xiaolong on the side suddenly whispered to Liu Yun.

"Why?" asked Liu Yun, turning his head.

Just watching a mediocre NBA preseason game, not the Finals, what's the panic?

You Zhang Xiaolong can also be regarded as a figure who has seen the big world.

Zhang Xiaolong pointed to the basketball players in the distance a little helplessly, and said, "Mr. Liu, look at the figures of those basketball players are so tall, in case they suddenly pounce in order to save the ball during the game, it is really too dangerous." After all, I've watched a lot of similar videos on TV before. ”

Jingzhang Xiaolong reminded him like this, and Liu Yun also noticed it.

He couldn't help but glance back at the stands in front of him, in fact, he personally preferred to sit in front of the stands.

This kind of seat next to the arena is absolutely not allowed in Huaxia because there is a certain risk.

The tall players rushed to the audience in order to grab the ball, and the whole person flew over, and then the spectators sitting in the first row ran away like frightened birds.

It seems dangerous, but these Americans seem to like to play such an exciting game, and the seats here are known as VIPs in VIPs, which are expensive, even sky-high, but they are still in short supply.

Especially in a place like Silicon Valley, where local tycoons gather, for them, as long as you dare to offer a ticket for this position, they will not hesitate to buy it, and the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, but they are worried that they can't buy tickets if they have money.

"Xiaolong, don't worry. Liu Yun patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "The players who play here are all experienced, and they all know how to avoid danger reasonably, and the people who can sit here are either rich or expensive, and they are status symbols, if they are accidentally injured by the players, the NBA team will have to lose a lot of money." ”

"Yes. Zhang Xiaolong nodded as if he didn't understand.

But there was a scene that surprised Liu Yun immediately.

Zhang Xiaolong took out his mobile phone, took a selfie with a V-shaped gesture, and then uploaded it to Weibo, and left a few words: The United States watches the ball, the first row!

"Mr. Liu, do you want us to take a picture together?"

"No need......" Liu Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied with a dark face.

After a while, Sergey Brin suddenly patted Liu Yun's arm and said, "Mr. Liu, look at that player, but he is a rookie who just entered our team this year, and he is a star player in college." I'm optimistic about his future. ”

Stephen Curry!

Liu Yun actually showed a hint of excitement, and couldn't help blurting out his name.

The future superstar has even redefined the meaning and value of the three-point shot.

By the way, 2009 was his first year in the NBA.

"Oh God. Sergey Brin felt like he had found a fellow player, "Mr. Liu, you even know his name, you must know that he has not played a game in the NBA." ”

Liu Yun replied: "He is a star player in college, I know his three-point shot is really good, and of course the breakthrough and organization are also good. Mr. Brin, I agree with you that he will definitely become a superstar in the future, and even bring a completely different style of basketball to the NBA. ”

After a moment of hesitation, he patted Sergey Brin on the shoulder with a smile and said with a smile: "Man, I believe that he will bring the coveted championship to the Golden State Warriors and this beautiful city in the future." ”

"Really?" Sergey Brin, a loyal fan of the Golden State Warriors, asked with some excitement, "Mr. Liu, you're not joking, are you deliberately amusing me?"

Liu Yun tilted his head, looked at the beautiful big screen above the arena, and said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, should we gamble?"

"How to bet?"

"Think about it. ”

Liu Yun lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

He remembers that around January 2018, Tencent and Google announced that they had signed a patent cross-licensing agreement covering multiple products and technologies.

Google chose Tencent after careful consideration among the three giants of BAT.

After a while, he looked up and smiled, "Stephen Curry was born in 1988, and I think he'll help the Golden State Warriors win a championship before he turns 28." ”

"As for the bets, I hope it's ......"

Liu Yun smiled meaningfully.
