I’m in that mood again,
being forced to come back to real life
after being so devoted into something I really enjoy
Still remember nearly 3 years ago,
when New Orleans held the 2008 all-star game
when I fell in love with the strong-hearted Chris Paul and his Hornets’ team
when I first paid attention to the city of New Orleans
I never knew I would have the chance actually going to the city
I had never even thought of that one day I would come to the city of rebirth for the Hornets’ home games
It was like a dream, I thought
People might say that as long as you have money and time,
you could always go anywhere, do anything you want, like going to a home game of your favorite team
It’s true.
But for me, it’s never that easy
finally having a chance to come to the states wasn’t easy
(I’m already living my dream)
as a fan for more than 5 years, bearing a dream of going to the home court hasn’t been easy as well
It was like a dream, seriously
as a team who didn’t make to the playoffs last season
the Hornets started the season 8-0, stayed undefeated for the first 3 weeks
I witnessed the amazing streak since the Milwaukee Bucks were swept by the bees in the 8-0 streak
I got CP3’s jersey for women (finally got a women jersey)
I went to the Bucks’ court, watching CP3 battled Bucks in Milwaukee
I love how it feels to win
but I hate how it feels to be a fan of the road team
not being able to scream out your own feelings, cheering for your team
Then we decided to go to New Orleans in the winter
After the streak, the Hornets were a bit ups-and-down
the reason they weren’t playing well was that their owner dropped out and the NBA took over the team
There are not enough fans going to the home games
which I never understood
New Orleans were known for its sport spirit
Perhaps it’s because people go to the Saints’ game (The NFL champs 2010)
and there’s no America top10 business in New Orleans
Not enough money, to put it simply
When we said it’s more than the Hornets’ home which made us visit New Orleans
It was actually MAINLY about the Hornets’ home game
Then I finally have my dream come true
going to New Orleans Hornets’ home court, watching them win games
The game itself was a miracle, as well as a festival
The first game day was so cool (it’s actually cooooooooooooooool!)
There were live music band, dancing performance, basketball challenge
Festival atmosphere outside the Arena
The street between the Arena and Superdome(Saints’ home) was blocked
Inside the arena, there are lots of fans activities
Hornets’ tattoo, kids painting, fans portraits, mascot interaction and dancers photo, autograph
all free for fans
(The bucks don’t have anything like that)
Our seats were right behind the basket and right next to the players entrance
we could clearly see the faces and the action of the players
I really love the Hornets’ home intro of the players
很酷 真的 two trumpets as the gate (symbol of the Jazz music)
開場有很多很多蜜蜂的聲音 所有的螢幕都是藍色的小蜜蜂在飛
最後介紹完CP 還有煙火和藍色的火焰
跟季後賽一樣精彩
在主場看現場就是很不一樣
每一個move全場都會有一樣的動作 同樣的聲音
每一個call ref不是被罵的臭頭 就是good call good call ref!
球迷都好激動 很多的人喝了酒 裁判亂判的時候 他們就會站起來一直罵一直罵
重點是 能夠現場看Chris Paul在主場的amazing moves and leadership
真的很enjoyable!
第一場球my hornets大勝76ers,
球迷都好開心好high的走回家
走在路上
連等紅路燈的車們都用喇叭奏樂!
我只能說 超酷的
there’s always LIVE music in New Orleans
even by horning!
