Chapter 289 Leisure time at the All-Star Weekend
"Hello, everyone, welcome to watch the 2013 NBA All-Star Weekend..."
The All-Star Weekend live broadcast was played on the TV. Wang Xiao leaned leisurely on the sofa, but his attention was not on the TV program.
During the rare holiday, he slept in and ordered a takeaway, and spent a comfortable weekend.
Then, he felt a little idle.
...
He was used to being busy in the past, but suddenly he was free and nothing happened. Wang Xiao felt a little bored instead.
In daily life, he really seems to have nothing to do except for the NBA and basketball things. He has no particularly good friends when he comes to the United States alone.
This is how people are. When they are busy, they always think that they must have a good rest and relax when they are free, but when there is really nothing to do, they feel bored instead.
Wang Xiao’s holiday is not long, only the four or five days of the All-Star Weekend. But for some reason, he couldn’t stay at home for less than two days, and he always had the urge to go out and do something.
Driven by such thoughts, Wang Xiao walked out of the house on the third day of the All-Star Weekend, that is, the day of the All-Star Game.
He didn't go to the MCI Center Arena, which is hosting the All-Star Weekend, because he is really not very interested in the All-Star Weekend.
Wang Xiao didn't drive, but just strolled around the house he rented, strolling in the garden, without any rush or impatience.
During the All-Star Weekend, Washington, the capital of the United States, has become lively, and alleys are also posted with various All-Star Weekend slogans and posters of the city's peerless star Stephen Curry. Many fans from all over the United States and even around the world have come here to support the stars they like and love.
...
After a long time, Wang Xiao felt a little cold, so he turned his head and saw a bar.
The place he lives is very close to the team's stadium. On weekdays, the team's players often choose to sit out and have a drink.
As the head coach, Wang Xiao is not suitable and not convenient to attend such a party, but he has also heard of this bar from the players.
"It seems that Antoine (Jamison) has a good review of this wheat beer..."
As he said this to himself, Wang Xiao suddenly felt like he wanted to try it out.
Pushing the door and walking into the bar, Wang Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
It's about five or six o'clock in the afternoon now. According to the principle, there should be not many people in the bar, but there are quite a few people in this bar.
This crowded appearance did not stop Wang Xiao. He walked into the bar and sat in front of the bar.
"What to drink?"
A bartender came over and looked at Wang Xiao, and his eyes lit up immediately.
"Wang Xiao?"
Wang Xiao was stunned, "Do you know me?"
"Of course!" The bartender showed a bright smile on his face, "Not many people here don't know you, you are the hero of this city!"
As he said that, the bartender pointed to the top of the bar.
Only then did Wang Xiao notice that there was a large LCD screen above the bar counter, with exciting NBA clips playing on it.
Although Wang Xiao is not a star player, his popularity is not inferior at all. He has brought the team a championship trophy that he has not won for decades in just three years. Such achievements are not an exaggeration to be called a hero in Washington.
"Give me a glass of our signature cocktail bar? I'll treat you." The bartender said to Wang Xiao: "But you will sign me later."
Wang Xiao laughed a little.
"Okay, thank you."
Every time I return to China, there are many people asking him to sign, but this is the first time in the United States.
Although Wang Xiao knew very well that a coach was far from comparable to a player in terms of popularity and commercial value, he still felt very happy at this moment.
...
Soon, a glass of colorful cocktail was placed on Wang Xiao's table.
Wang Xiao picked it up and tasted it, then nodded.
"great."
To be honest, Wang Xiao has no experience in wine and rarely drinks. He drinks this cocktail similar to a drink, and he doesn't know what the level is, but after all, it's given away for free, and as a drink... it's really delicious.
"Thank you." The bartender smiled brightly, "Today is the last day of the All-Star weekend. Haven't you been to the stadium to watch the game?"
Wang Xiao shook his head, "I'm not very interested, it's almost the same every year, and it's not interesting."
"Is that?" the bartender thought for a moment, and then said, "Can the Wizards continue to win the championship this year?"
Wang Xiao raised his head and looked at the bartender, then there was almost no hesitation.
"Of course, we will still be the champion this year!"
This is a middle-aged man about forty years old. The years and life left marks on his face, but at this moment his face was filled with a very happy and joyful smile.
There is indeed such a group of fans in this world. They will not blindly chase the stars they like. Whenever someone's team's idol slanders, they will use the most vicious words to fight back online, making people wonder whether they love basketball or simply like to chase stars.
But there are also fans like the bartender in front of Wang Xiao. Although both can be defined as fans, Wang Xiao prefers the latter.
...
Whether in the previous life or in this life, it was the first time that Wang Xiao spent time in a place like a bar. He chatted with the bartender without a word and listened to the bragging of other guests around him. Before he knew it, it was already evening.
Although he was recognized by the bartender as soon as he arrived at the bar, Wang Xiao was not recognized by others after sitting at the bar for several hours.
At 9 p.m., the start time of the All-Star Game, and at this time, the bar was already crowded.
Many fans who cannot buy tickets on site will choose to come to this bar to watch the game. On the one hand, the bar has a large screen, and it is very lively for a group of people to watch the game together. On the other hand, the wine here is indeed very good.
Wang Xiao is not a person who likes to drink, but he has also drunk several glasses in the past few hours. Although he is not a cocktail of high-degree, he also feels a little dizzy.
Wang Xiao knew that he could not drink anymore, so he stood up and checked out and walked out of the bartender amid the bartender's farewell.
"oops!"
The moment he went out, Wang Xiao collided with a person who came in.
Wang Xiao reacted a little slow and did not react after drinking, while the other party seemed to have no time to brake because the speed was too fast.
After the two collided, Wang Xiao just paused slightly, and the latter took two steps back and almost fell to the ground.
"This uncle, can you watch a little while walking?"
A crisp sound rang out, and Wang Xiao looked down and was slightly stunned.
