At this time, right behind where Min Congda was sitting, was the PR5 audience area, a location with a very good view.
Here you can watch the live game from the sideline. The height and angle are just right. The TV broadcast machine is in this direction.
The Los Angeles Clippers arranged two viewing seats for Siakam and his son here, so that they can enjoy the performances of NBA games.
After arriving in Los Angeles in the morning, Racheli took his father and son to the Clippers' training center to experience the advanced training equipment and excellent venue settings.
Then, treat them to a good meal in the canteen of the training center.
During the meal, Racheli also said that according to common sense, our general manager, Mr. Smart, should have eaten here.
But he seems to be busy recently and has not appeared at the training center.
At that time, Min Congda was still at home and hadn't woken up.
In the afternoon, Racheli took his father and son to visit the Clippers headquarters again.
All departments were visited, except the general manager’s office.
Because at that time, Min Congda was arranging Clippers scandal behind closed doors.
He specifically asked the staff not to disturb him if nothing happened.
No one dared to disobey Min Congda's instructions, so naturally they didn't dare to knock on the door.
In the evening, Siakam and his son finally came to Staples Center to watch the Clippers and Cleveland game.
Before the game, they were invited to the Clippers locker room to meet and take photos with the Clippers players.
Of course, all the process was recorded by cameras, starting from getting off the plane.
If these things are not recorded, it means that they are not done, and Racheli will never allow it.
What he saw in just half a day was also deeply recorded in Siakam's memory.
The prosperity of Los Angeles surprised him. He felt as if he was in another world, a world more beautiful and wonderful than the one in the Bible.
Children in Cameroon all play ball in the open fields. Nine out of ten children play football, and the remaining one can play basketball.
The training venue here alone is more luxurious and exquisite than any building in my hometown.
After arriving at Staples Center, he even sighed, this is not an arena, this is simply a palace.
An extremely grand palace with everything you need, thousands of people gather here.
Even the most magnificent church in Cameroon cannot accommodate so many believers.
Thousands of basketball believers gathered here to perform their own worship - to watch a basketball game.
If you can stand on the court and compete, wouldn't it be a hundred times cooler than being a priest and leading dozens of believers to worship?
"so cool…"
Before the game started, Siakam had this idea flowing in his mind.
When the game actually started, he felt even more suffocated. The live game was completely different from what he saw on TV.
In the noisy venue, nearly 20,000 people were cheering, shouting, and applauding. The center of the stadium was as exciting as the Colosseum.
One of the teams in particular was the Cleveland Cavaliers. James' explosive performance in the first quarter made Siakam so excited that he couldn't contain himself.
At just 14 years old, he trembled and cheered for every dunk by James.
"Wooh! So handsome! Great!"
Siakam raised his hands high, and James' body was as majestic as a god.
Tall stature, strong limbs, as fast as a cheetah, and as powerful as a lion.
Watching James flying on the court, Siakam couldn't help but said to his father during the break in the second quarter: "I want to play like him in the future!"
Chamo Siakam smiled and said: "If you work hard and enter the NBA in the future, you will definitely be able to play with LeBron James."
Siakam Jr. is 14 years old this year. If he has enough talent, he will be on the radar of the NBA draft in five or six years.
After all, little Siakam is not an ordinary fan. His father is a professional athlete. All three brothers in the family were trained by his father to develop into professional athletes. The genetic talent is enough.
Chamo Siakam knows that in poor African countries like Cameroon, joining European and American professional sports is a good way for them to change their destiny.
Among the three brothers, Pascal Siakam has the highest talent, but the most rebellious personality.
He would not do anything his father asked him to do, and he would do it according to his own ideas.
If I ask him to play basketball well, he will not do it. Instead, he will become a priest and confess to others.
In desperation, Siakam tried to write a letter to the NBA team.
Unexpectedly, the Clippers actually responded to the letter and even warmly invited them to watch the game.
Of course Chamo knows that this is a commercial promotion, but among the 30 NBA teams, only the Clippers are willing to spend money to do this. He thinks this team is amazing.
It's a pity that I didn't meet the legendary General Manager Smart. It is said that it was under his leadership that the Clippers prospered and became humane.
When visiting the Clippers headquarters, everyone gave a thumbs up when talking about General Manager Smart.
Now that my son Siakam is like this, he has really fallen in love with basketball.
He used his talent to fight casually, but he killed everyone in Cameroon without anyone being his opponent.
Play seriously and send him to the United States to attend college. The road to the NBA will no longer be a dream.
Sure enough, the best education is not to give instructions, but to let children experience it first-hand.
At this time, the second quarter of the game between the Clippers and the Cavaliers began, and James rested off the court.
The second lineups of both sides were excessive on the court, and the Cavaliers not only failed to close the score but were pulled away.
The person who helped the Clippers open the score was none other than their former boss, the person James wanted to assist.
Ricky Davis.
Ricky Davis came off the bench and became the main firepower of the second team in the absence of Baron Davis due to injury.
Recently, Davis has been playing more and more like a 3D player, defending seriously and shooting three-pointers from the corner.
His three-point shooting percentage has gradually increased to 41% from 38% at the beginning of the season.
Moreover, his number of three-point attempts increased from 1.3 to 2.8 per game. As the number of attempts increased, his shooting percentage also increased.
This progress can be said to be very great.
On the one hand, it is of course because he trains harder on weekdays. He has to practice three-pointers after daily training.
On the other hand, the shot selection has changed. In the past, you had to hold the ball and shoot hard. You are not Kobe, can your shooting percentage be higher?
Now he is always crouching in the bottom corner and does not take a shot easily when there is no good opportunity, so his shooting percentage has naturally increased.
After coming on the scene in the second quarter, Ricky Davis seized the opportunities from two bottom corners and hit consecutive three-pointers!
Helped the Clippers widen the score gap.
The problem of the Cavaliers' perimeter defenders not being tall enough has still not been resolved.
Substitutes Delonte West and Gibson are both thin and small guards.
Having such a small defender is already a big deal for a team.
For example, Curry is a problem on the defensive end.
If your team has two or three of them in the main rotation, how can you defend the perimeter?
No matter how strong James is, he can only be one person and cannot give it to another person.
Of course, there is also an outsider Danny Green who is of sufficient size on the Cavaliers' bench.
This year's second-round pick, it's a pity that with his current ability, he can't make it into Mike Brown's rotation.
