Candace Swanepel bit the tip of her tongue gently, her lips opened slightly unconsciously, a light smile hung on her lips like a spring breeze, she stared intently at the young girl in front of her, devoted herself to her work, a few beads of sweat faintly oozed from her nose, and her deep and bright eyes shimmered with colorful light, revealing a dark surge of excitement and excitement.

"It's done!"

With a light pause in her right hand, Candace took a slight step back, looking at the fruits of her hard work as if admiring a perfect work of art, and finally nodded her head in affirmation with satisfaction, snapping her fingers, "That's all!" Then hurry up, the 49-man fighters are waiting for us to cheer us on! ”

The little girl looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a childish look between her eyebrows that had not completely faded, and on her slightly reddened cheeks, oil paint patterns were depicted on the left and right, which were the logos of the two San Francisco 49ers, clearly showing the identity of the fans involved.

These two oil paint patterns are the result of Candace's concentrated work just now.

Today is September 16th, and it's another Sunday, and the San Francisco 49ers will take to Candlestick Field for the first time this season, and they will welcome the mighty Detroit Lions, which will undoubtedly be a high-profile matchup in the entire league, with two playoff-caliber teams going head-to-head.

The game, at 1:15 p.m. Western Time, officially kicked off.

So, early in the morning, Candace rushed to the Candlestick Stadium, not only to watch the game and cheer for Lu Ke; And I hope that I can really become a part of the 49ers, really integrate into the atmosphere of the game, and enjoy the enthusiasm and excitement brought by the live game.

At this time, Candace wore a No. 14 San Francisco 49ers jersey with a pair of light blue denim shorts, full of youthful energy; On the cheeks, there are two small oil paint patterns on the No. 14 jerseys, showing her true identity from head to toe.

Although Candace arrived at Candelabra Park six hours early, the scene was already bustling with fans early in the morning, and the crowds of people on game day seemed to be a new sight in the city.

In fact, there were signs of such a sight before.

After a hugely successful past season, San Francisco 49ers' home tickets have suddenly become hot this season.

Season tickets, which went on sale in May, were sold out in less than 10 hours. In the second week of the regular season, the free tickets for the first home game of the season for the San Francisco 49ers were also sold out less than five minutes after the online ticket was opened; Even the VIP box reservations were completed in April.

Needless to say, the San Francisco 49ers are one of the most noteworthy teams in the league right now, and even the 60,000-person seating capacity at Candlestick Stadium seems a little understaffed.

Today's grand occasion at Candlestick Park is not unexpected.

Upon arrival at the stadium, Candace immediately became a close friend of the hospitable fans, and a number 14 shirt was the best bridge of communication.

Candace enthusiastically participated in the fan activities at the scene, helping to hang banners, participating in the production of cheering cards, and then helping to distribute the team's support scarves.

The little girl took out her mobile phone, pointed the camera lens at herself, looked at it seriously, and then showed a satisfied expression, and smiled brightly at Candace, "Thank you." By the way, do you like Number 14 too? Me too. He's really a super handsome guy, isn't he? I think his eyes are so beautiful! ”

After saying that, the little girl did not wait for Candace to respond, and then ran in the direction of the entrance of the court.

"Eyes?" Candace only felt that her head was full of question marks, and she didn't understand the source of this sentence at all, and involuntarily recalled Lu Ke's eyes in her mind, and suddenly her cheeks began to heat slightly.

"Sugar Candy, Sugar Candy, can you come over and help?" Not far away, a shout came from far and near, interrupting Candace's thoughts.

It must be because it's too hot.

After Candace made up her mind, she followed the voice and looked over, and then saw Li Mo Nian, who was sweating profusely but still couldn't hide the brightness and cheerfulness of his eyes, "Tangtang, do you have time now?" Can you help explain to those Asian fans how to support and what to look out for? ”

"Of course there is no problem." Candace readily agreed, paused for a moment, and actively offered her thoughts, "But why don't you tell these fans?" They can talk to the fans around them, and I'm sure the 49 people will be more than happy to answer them. In this way, it can break down the barriers between fans, right? ”

"Or do you think it would be more appropriate for us to finish the account early?" Candace added.

"No, no, no." After pondering carefully, Li Mo Nian also reacted at this time, "Your thinking is correct, since we are all 49 people, we should not deliberately make a distinction, everyone is united and cheering for the team, this is the most important thing." Li Monian nodded in agreement.

"You know what? More than 5,000 Asian fans came to Candlestick Stadium to watch the game today! Li Mo Nian couldn't help but start rubbing his hands, his cheeks filled with irrepressible excitement, "Five thousand! This was unimaginable before! Now, they're finally starting to understand the allure of rugby, haha! ”

After showing off a little, Li Monian turned around briskly and said goodbye, and walked quickly to the Asian fans not far away.

This year, they should learn to open their arms and embrace different possibilities, to truly become a 49er, and to truly be a part of the city of San Francisco, to break the safe siege of Asian Americans and enter the outside world. Perhaps, in the near future, Asian fans can also be a big part of the 49ers.

After sending off Li Mounian, Candace was about to devote herself to the work of painting oil paints again, and her eyes inadvertently caught Lu Zhengze and Jeff Locke standing not far away, as well as a group of other friends, who were greeting a large group of fans in front of them, trying to gather everyone, but it was really not an easy task-

There are many people.

In a small area in front of me, hundreds of fans gathered, coming and going, chattering, countless noises were endless, stirring up buzzing sounds, overwhelming, ubiquitous, instantly drowning the call of Lu Zhengze, Jeff and others, just like ants shaking a tree, it was really a drop in the bucket.

Candace said hello to the other friends who were painting oil paints, put down the work at hand for the time being, and walked quickly to the small truck of the other party's props and souvenirs not far away, skillfully exchanged a few words with the fans who were in charge of managing the props, and then began to rummage around the side, and soon found a "big horn".

In fact, it is a bright yellow plastic amplifier, or figuratively called "loud public".

Candace pointed a red megaphone to her mouth and began to shout:

"We're nine!"

"We are warriors!"

"We're nine!"

"We are warriors!"

Even with the addition of the megaphone, among the tens of thousands of people at the scene, Candace's voice was still a drop in the ocean, not surprising, and unsustainable, but Candace was not discouraged, and the shouts successfully attracted the attention of Lu Zhengze and Jeff and others, Candace hurriedly beckoned them to join them, and they immediately understood-

In such a turbulent and lively scene, it is really too difficult to rely on the strength of individuals, whether it is to maintain order or cheer.

So, Lu Zhengze, Jeff and others all gathered around Candace, gathered in groups, and then joined Candace in unison:

"We're nine!"

"We are warriors!"

One after another, wave after wave, gradually, the attention of more and more fans around shifted over, and they all joined the ranks of supporters with enthusiasm, and then it snowballed, growing rapidly in a geometric multiple, and the fans around the neighborhood immediately raised their right hands high and shouted together.

"We're nine!"

"We are warriors!"

From the outside of the Candlestick Stadium to the Candlestick Stadium, every fan shouted the slogan that was deeply imprinted on the bones, twisted all the enthusiasm and excitement into a rope, and collectively vented it, welcoming the first game of the 2012 home season in a magnificent and vast way!

The scene gradually became more and more spectacular, regardless of the occasion or place; Regardless of age or race, every fan and audience in the entire Candlestick Park couldn't wait to roar together impassionedly, and the growth rate of the stormy waves was far beyond imagination, colliding with the sound of gold and stone, and spreading mightily in the air.

When Stephen Curry arrived at the gate of the Candlestick Arena, he saw a grand scene in front of him:

The slender Candace, holding a megaphone in her left hand, rolled up the sleeves of her bright red jersey, glittered with sweat on her forehead, but the smile on her lips was a bright color in the large expanse of red, one after another, awakening the silent Candlestick Stadium in the offseason.

At this moment, the waves are so magnificent that all languages lose their color.
