Candice Swanepoel gently bit the tip of her tongue, her lips opened slightly unconsciously, a spring-like smile hung on her lips, she concentrated on the young girl in front of her, and devoted herself wholeheartedly to her work. A few beads of sweat were faintly oozing out from the nose, and those deep and bright eyes were shining with colorful light, revealing a secret surge of excitement and excitement.
"finished!"
Candice paused lightly with her right hand, finished finishing the pen, took a half step back, looked at the fruits of her hard work, as if appreciating a perfect work of art, and finally nodded in approval with satisfaction. , snapped his fingers, "That's all! Then let's go quickly, the 49ers soldiers are waiting for our cheers!"
The little girl looks about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a childishness that has not completely faded between her eyebrows. On her slightly red cheeks, there are oil paint patterns painted on one left and one on the right. There are two impressive figures. The San Francisco 49ers team logo clearly shows the fan identity of the person involved.
These two oil paint patterns are the result of Candice's dedicated work just now.
Today is September 16th, another Sunday. The San Francisco 49ers will play at Candlestick Stadium for the first time this season. They will face the powerful Detroit Lions. Undoubtedly, this will also be the first game in the entire league. In a matchup that has attracted much attention, two playoff-level teams will go head-to-head.
This game officially kicks off at 1:15 p.m. Western Time.
So, Candice rushed to Candlestick Stadium early in the morning, not only to watch the game live and cheer for Lu Ke; but she also hoped that she could truly become a member of the 49ers and truly integrate into the game. In the atmosphere, enjoy the enthusiasm and excitement brought by the live game.
At this time, Candice was wearing a No. 14 San Francisco 49ers jersey, paired with a pair of light blue denim shorts, full of youthful vitality; two small oil paint patterns of the No. 14 jersey were painted on her cheeks, from head to head. The feet show her true identity as an authentic little fan girl.
Although Candice arrived at Candlestick Park six hours in advance, the venue was already bustling with fans early on. The crowd-pleased city-wide event on game day has become a new and beautiful scenery in the city of San Francisco.
In fact, there have been signs of such a scene before.
After experiencing great success in the past season, tickets for the San Francisco 49ers' home games this season have suddenly become hot.
All season tickets that officially went on sale in May were sold out in less than ten hours; and in the second week of the regular season, the available tickets for the San Francisco 49ers' first home game of the season were also sold out online. They were all snapped up in less than five minutes; even the VIP box reservations were completed in April.
There is no doubt that the San Francisco 49ers are one of the most noteworthy teams in the league at the moment. Even the 60,000 seats at Candlestick Stadium seem a little insufficient.
The grand scene at Candlestick Park today is not surprising.
After arriving at the stadium, Candice immediately became involved with the hospitable fans. A No. 14 jersey is the best communication bridge.
Candice enthusiastically participated in the on-site fan activities. She helped hang banners, participated in making support cards, and then helped distribute team support scarves. She was busy all morning without touching the ground. The fans have become more and more enthusiastic. More and more people came, and they started to prepare for the entrance one after another. Then Candice came over to help paint.
The little girl took out her mobile phone, pointed the camera lens at herself, and looked at her carefully. Then she showed a satisfied expression and smiled brightly at Candice, "Thank you. By the way, you Do you also like No. 14? Me too. He is really a super handsome guy, isn't he? I think his eyes are so beautiful!"
After saying that, the little girl didn't wait for Candice to respond, and then jumped towards the entrance of the stadium.
"Eyes?" Candice felt like her head was full of questions and she didn't understand the origin of this sentence at all. She couldn't help but recall Lu Ke's eyes in her mind. Unexpectedly, her cheeks started to feel slightly hot.
"Tangtang, Tangtang, can you come over and help me?" Not far away, a cry came from far and near, interrupting Candice's thoughts.
It must be because the weather is too hot.
After Candice came to this conclusion, she looked over following the voice, and then saw Li Mo Nian walking towards him in a hurry, sweating profusely but still unable to hide the brightness and joy in his eyes, "Tangtang, do you have time now? Can you help explain to those Asian fans the support methods and precautions?"
"Of course there is no problem." Candice agreed readily, paused for a moment, and actively put forward her own ideas, "But why not tell these fans? They can communicate with the fans around them, I believe ,49 people are very happy to answer it. In this way, it can break down the barriers between fans, right?"
"Or do you think it would be more appropriate for us to complete the explanation in advance?" Candice added.
"No, no no." After careful consideration, Li Mo Nian also reacted at this time, "Your idea is correct. Since we are all 49 people, we should not deliberately distinguish ourselves. We are all united. Cheering for the team, that's the most important thing." Li Mo Nian nodded in agreement.
"Did you know? Today, more than five thousand Asian fans came to watch the game at Candlestick Stadium!" Li Mo-nian couldn't help but start rubbing his hands, his cheeks filled with uncontrollable excitement, "Five thousand! These are It was unimaginable before! Now, they finally begin to understand the charm of rugby, haha!"
After showing off a little, Li Mo Nian turned around and left briskly, walking quickly towards the Asian fans not far away.
This year, they should learn to open their arms, embrace different possibilities, truly become a 49er, truly become a part of the city of San Francisco, break the safety siege of Asians, and enter the outside world. Perhaps, in the near future, Asian fans can also become an important part of the 49ers.
After seeing off Li Mo Nian, Candice was about to get back into the work of painting oil paints again. From the corner of her eyes, she inadvertently caught sight of Lu Zhengze, Jeff Locke, and a group of other friends standing not far away. , they are greeting a large group of bustling fans in front of them, trying to gather everyone together, but this is really not an easy task——
There are many people and mixed opinions.
Hundreds of fans gathered in a small area in front of them, coming and going, chirping, and countless noises, stirring up a buzzing sound that was overwhelming and everywhere. In an instant, the calls of Lu Zhengze, Jeff, and others were heard. Submerged, it is like ants shaking a tree, it is really a drop in the bucket.
Candice said hello to the other friends who were painting oil paints, temporarily put down the work at hand, and quickly walked to the small truck with props and souvenirs not far away, and spoke skillfully with the fans who were responsible for managing the props. After exchanging a few words, we started rummaging around and soon found a "big speaker".
In fact, it is a bright yellow plastic loudspeaker, or it is also called "loud loudspeaker".
Candice pointed the red loudspeaker at her mouth and started shouting:
"There are nine of us!"
"We are warriors!"
"There are nine of us!"
"We are warriors!"
Even with the addition of a loudspeaker, among the tens of thousands of people at the scene, Candice's voice was still a drop in the ocean, unsurprising and unsustainable. However, Candice was not discouraged and kept shouting every time. Successfully attracting the attention of Lu Zhengze, Jeff and others, Candice quickly greeted them to join her, and they immediately understood -
In such a turbulent and lively scene, it is too difficult to rely solely on one's own strength, whether it is to maintain order or to cheer.
As a result, Lu Zhengze, Jeff and others all gathered around Candice, and then joined Candice's shouting in unison:
"There are nine of us!"
"We are warriors!"
Sound after sound, wave after wave, gradually, the attention of more and more fans around them was transferred, and they joined the ranks of cheers with enthusiasm. Then it was like a snowball, growing rapidly in geometric multiples. , the fans nearby immediately raised their right hands high and shouted together.
"There are nine of us!"
"We are warriors!"
Gradually spreading from outside the Candlestick Stadium to the Candlestick Stadium, every fan uniformly shouted the slogan that was deeply imprinted on the bones, twisting all the enthusiasm and excitement into a rope and venting it collectively. Come out and welcome the first home game of the 2012 season in a grand and vast way!
The scene gradually became more and more spectacular. Regardless of the occasion or location, regardless of age or race, every fan and audience in Candlestick Park couldn't wait to roar together impassionedly. The stormy waves The growth rate far exceeded imagination, and the sound of gold and stone collided, spreading mightily in the air.
When Stephen Curry arrived at the gate of Candlestick Stadium, what he saw was a grand scene in front of him:
Candice, who has a slender figure, is holding a loudspeaker in her left hand. The sleeves of her bright red jersey are rolled up. There is glistening sweat on her forehead, but the smile on the corner of her mouth is shining brightly amidst the large swaths of red. The colors, one after another, awakened Candlestick Stadium, which had fallen into silence during the offseason.
At this moment, the waves were so majestic that all language lost its color.
