Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 443: 442 Matchmaking Chapter 443: 442 Matchmaking The piping hot, mushy little hands clung to Li Wei’s neck.

Although speaking in a low voice, everyone around could hear, “that catch.”

Throughout the season, Li Wei had contributed no fewer than eight iconic moments, but the one that truly went viral was that catch during the division game, partly because of the opponents and the nature of the match.

For a long time to come, it would likely remain a signature moment for Li Wei.

Li Wei’s heart was clear as a mirror.

A smile crawled over his lips as he whispered back, “Yes, that was me.”

Kerr’s smile finally bloomed.

Curry looked utterly amazed; even he hadn’t expected Li Wei and Kerr’s interactions to be so natural.

Li Wei glanced at the number 30 jersey in Kerr’s hand, then looked down at himself—

He was a guest today, totally unprepared, and of course had nothing to present in return.

Kerr’s cheeks were red and tear-stained, still looking emotionally shaken.

His eyes still wet with un-wiped tears appeared pitiful, like a five or six-year-old child who didn’t even know how to express their grievances and fears, nor understand what they had just been through.

After a moment “Next week, I have a game, if you’re interested, you can come along with Stephen.

What do you think?”@@novelbin@@

Curry didn’t understand at first and was half a beat slow: A game next week?

Then, he looked at Li Wei with a face full of bewilderment.

Li Wei looked at Curry, then at Kerr, both with childish faces, “Truly like elementary schoolers.”

Curry quickly caught on and retorted with a laugh, “Ha.

Ha.

Including you, that makes three.”

Li Wei’s Asian features made him appear even younger to Americans, possibly younger than Curry.

Calling him a grade schooler was not farfetched, especially since the rookie season was almost over and people still cheerfully yelled “rookie, rookie.”

Li Wei shrugged lightly, “Just a bit more, and the Garden would turn into a kindergarten.”

“Haha,” Curry laughed heartily too.

But then.

The security personnel came up again, breaking the mood.

They didn’t want to, but now that they had finally gotten the crowd under control, it would become troublesome if they didn’t withdraw quickly—should the crowd surge again.

Look, when they heard Li Wei extend an invitation for an on-site game viewing, each one of them straightened their eyes, the undercurrents surged again, nearly uncontrollable.

The best way to calm the scene was for Li Wei to leave the premises.

“Mr.

Li Wei, we should go now, lingering could cause the situation to escalate again,” they said.

Li Wei understood and hugged Kerr tightly once more, without lingering, and turned to leave surrounded by security.

Curry: ???

Hey, what about me?

The NBA superstar was left standing there, ignored.

His baby face was full of confusion and shock, barely believing what was happening.

Not just him, the spectators watching this scene also couldn’t help but chuckle.

The atmosphere was momentarily humorous.

…

Having walked a distance within the circle of security, Li Wei then realized Curry had been left behind and stopped to look back, trying to find Curry.

“Elementary schooler?”

“Elementary schooler!”

The call echoed like a stone thrown into a cave, not stirring any response, but the security personnel reassured Li Wei, “Don’t worry about him.”

Li Wei chuckled wryly—

Was he worried about Curry’s safety?

Obviously not.

But was it really okay to just leave Curry like that, abandoned and ignored?

The scene before him was absurdly comical.

As they proceeded, it was clear they weren’t heading toward the players’ locker room, at least it didn’t seem that way; but as it was Li Wei’s first time at Madison Square Garden, he couldn’t be sure, so he asked directly.

“I thought we were going to greet the players in the home team locker room.”

The person who seemed to be the head of the security team answered again, “Don’t worry about them.”

That same line again.

Li Wei couldn’t help but laugh, “I think the person I need to worry about now is myself.”

His self-deprecating joke noticeably lightened the atmosphere among the security personnel.

It was very hard for them to hold back their laughter, including the team leader, whose lips twitched slightly.

But this time, the head of security didn’t keep him in suspense any longer.

“We are on our way to the VIP room.

Mr.

James Dolan is waiting for you.”

That explained it.

The mysterious big shot who had hidden his true intentions all evening finally revealed himself.

If it was Dolan, it made sense for everyone else to step aside.

No wonder the security team had been rushing Li Wei, leaving Curry behind and focusing solely on escorting Li Wei away from the scene, under the pretext of fearing the fans might lose control again; the real reason was the summons of the powerful team owner.

Not just them; Li Wei’s doubts, which had been hanging in mid-air, had finally been answered.

He knew Dolan would appear, but he didn’t know when.

Now, the answer had come to light.

Li Wei felt a bit relieved, the head of security slightly relaxed; they were now in the backstage area, no fans or players to worry about, and their tense nerves could loosen a bit.

“You don’t need to worry anymore; if anyone needs to worry about safety, it’s us.”

With that, he glanced at Li Wei out of the corner of his eye.

Li Wei heard and noticed it, his eyes revealing a hint of amusement, “Rest assured, I don’t bite.

Your flesh is too rough and dry, it doesn’t even taste good when chewed, it’s just a waste of teeth.

I’d rather pass.”

The security team leader was shocked, his face full of terror as he looked at Li Wei, only to see a calm and composed face looking back at him innocently, as if completely unaware of what was happening, which made his knees go weak.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a long journey; the security personnel successfully escorted Li Wei to the VIP room.

Standing at the door, they knocked and announced,

“Mr.

Li Wei has arrived.”

Without waiting for a response from inside the room, the security team leader already had opened the door, not looking inside, and, with his back to the room and facing Li Wei, he gestured for him to enter.

Li Wei, with a sincere expression, “Nice chatting with you, hope we can meet again.”

The security team leader: …

The rest of the security team stood at attention against the wall, eyes forward, expressionless, but a close observation would reveal the slight movement in their jaws and throats:

Holding back laughter was really hard; indeed, this job was hard-earned.

Doors opened, doors closed, and then—

Snicker.

Finally, someone burst out laughing, and the hallway filled with laughter.

Behind the door, Li Wei was full of question marks: Where was James Dolan?

Li Wei didn’t recognize Dolan, but since Dolan had invited him to watch the game, as a guest, it was basic etiquette to know a bit about the host.

So, before coming this evening, Li Wei had done his homework.

At least, he didn’t want to recognize the wrong person, which could truly turn into a joke.

However.

Standing in a luxurious VIP room above Madison Square Garden Arena, Li Wei was still caught off guard as he looked at the three people in front of him, completely baffled:

Who are you?
