Chapter 144: Inside the Venue

On June 18, as soon as the sky dawned, Evan was woken up by his energetic two younger sisters.

"Evan, let's go to the Empire State Building!"

"Not today, I have something to do?"

"What's the matter?"

"I have to go to the stadium during the day. ”

"It's okay at night......"

"It's even worse at night!" said Evan brushing his teeth as he coping with his two younger sisters.

Dora asked, "Why?"

Dorothy tugged at Ladora's cuffs and said, "You forgot, Evan said yesterday that you have to go to the theater in the evening to see Sister Audrey's performance." ”

"Oh yes!" Dora blinked, "I almost forgot." ”

"Go, go, don't stick here. ”

Dora didn't want to leave yet and asked, "So what are we doing during the day?"

You can't stay in a hotel all day, can you?

Dorothy said, "Nina is here!"

Dora pouted and said, "Nina won't take us out to play!"

"Why?"

This sentence was asked by Evan.

Dora put her left hand on her waist, raised her index finger with her right hand, raised her head and chest, and said in a parrotous manner: "Dora, you listen well, it's okay to go to New York, but you are absolutely not allowed to be naughty, otherwise from next month, the amount of your pocket money will be zero." ”

Dorothy chuckled.

Evan hung up the towel and tapped it on Dora's little head.

"It's not big, it's not small!"

"Evan!"

Dora covered her head and screamed in dissatisfaction.

Dorothy ran to Evan's side, clasped his palm with her little hand, and smiled, "Brother Evan, don't hit Dora in the head again, or she will blame you for beating her stupid." ”

When Dora heard this, as if she had discovered a new world, she immediately ran to Evan, blocked his way, and said with a resentful look in her eyes: "Evan, it's all your fault!"

Evan sighed, then walked past Dora blindly.

Dora chased after him, grabbed his other hand, and said, "If you want me to forgive you, take me out to play!"

"I've got something to do!"

Evan just wouldn't say yes.

"Nina, Robert!"

It wasn't until she came to Nina's room that Dora stopped.

After a while, a family of five came to the restaurant for breakfast.

At the dinner table, Dora and Dorothy muttered, not knowing what they were discussing.

Nina was not in good spirits, and complained to Evan that her health was not as good as before, and she couldn't sleep well on the train.

Evan was a little worried and asked if he would like to ask the doctor to come and have a look.

Nina shook her head and said no.

After breakfast, Evan saw that Nina rubbed her forehead from time to time, so he asked Bob to call a doctor over.

After the doctor looked at Nina and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him, Evan went out.

Before leaving, Evan told Robert to take care of his sisters and not to run around.

Robert held the Rubik's Cube in his hand and nodded yes.

At half past nine, Evan left the hotel and his destination was the Madison Square Garden Coliseum.

Located on Eighth Avenue, the Coliseum was completed in 1925 and is the third building on the site to bear that name. Measuring 61 meters long and 114 meters wide, it is a four-storey building with a capacity of more than 10,000 spectators, and is often used for boxing, hockey, basketball, wrestling, cycling, and more.

Incidentally, this arena is the venue for the New York Knicks, a member of the newly formed American Basketball Association (BAA).

Two years later, the BAA will merge with rival the National Basketball League (NBL) to form the NBA, if nothing else.

In less than ten minutes, Evan was in the gymnasium.

At this time, in the stadium, Girard was setting up the venue with dozens of employees and a special exhibition company.

The rectangular field is divided into several blocks with different functions, with a small half of the competition area and the other half being exhibition stands.

The booth was divided into three sections, one for the Rubik's Cube and its derivatives (e.g., books, etc.), one for the "Plane Walker's House" cards, and one for the newly developed plastic bricks.

By the way, the brand name of the plastic building blocks launched by Magic Seven Company is "MagicBlock".

The name was not taken by Evan.

The booth occupies such a large area, which shows how impure the purpose of this Rubik's Cube competition organized by Girard is.

The competition starts tomorrow, and today the contestants will arrive at the reporting location designated by the organizer one after another.

There are several locations to be covered, one at the Albert Hotel, one at the office, and one at another.

In fact, yesterday a contestant came to the hotel to inquire.

There's not much work to be done to set up the venue, and there isn't much Evan can do on the spot and give advice.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after the booth and sound system were arranged, Girard organized the team to conduct a rehearsal of the final process.

Evan was personally involved as the boss.

As a contestant, he went through the whole process of the official competition and award presentation from the beginning of the entry sign-in.

This time, Evan found a lot of faults.

"Evan, do you think that's okay?"

Girard fanned himself with a stack of plans and asked for Evan's opinion.

He ran over and over to coordinate the command this afternoon, and was so tired that he was sweating profusely.

Evan waved his hand, signaling that there was no problem on his side.

"Evan?"

Bob came to his side at this time, pointed to the sideline with one hand, where a middle-aged man in a short-sleeved shirt was standing, and said, "That man wants to see you!"

Evan asked, "Who is he?"

"He calls himself Edard Irish, is the president of a basketball team and a regular visitor to the gym," Bob said. ”

Evan said, "Basketball team, Knicks?"

Bob nodded: "Seems to be the name!"

Evan showed an interested expression, "Okay, I'll meet him in the past." ”

Evan doesn't have many sports hobbies, just basketball and table tennis.

I watched a lot of basketball, played less, there was no way, the physical conditions of the year were really not qualified.

Table tennis is the opposite.

As for football, what is it, I don't know.

"Hello Evan Warren, sir is looking for me?"

After a while, Evan approached Edward and asked, stretching out his hand.

Edward came over to say hello to Evan for no particular purpose, just out of pure curiosity, wanting to say hello and get to know him.

At first, he thought that Gilard was the principal of the Magic Seven Company, and after watching the scene for a while, he knew that Evan was the most talkative person on the scene.

"Hello! New York Knicks Basketball Team, Edward Ireland!"

Edward held out his hand in the same friendly manner, and after shaking hands, he asked with a smile:

"Evan, right...... There's a game here tomorrow, right?"

"Yes...... As you can see!"

"Mind if I visit?"

"In exchange, I'll give you a ticket!"
