Vacation To San Francisco

On this summer vacation, my dad took our family to the Sleep Train Arena which is the Sacramento Kings Arena. At first i felt really excited because my dad said " We're going to have Jeremy Lin's autograph."

"That's a great news" said my brother waving his hands up high in the air

. "Yeah that's exciting," I said. Patting my brother's back

My brother, me and my dad, we all liked NBA, we want to get Jeremy Lin's autograph is because he is from Taiwan, our family are all from Taiwan, and our family also liked him a lot.

Basketball is so important because our family usually watch NBA, play basketball every weekend, buy NBA players shoes, jerseys, shirt, socks and pants and me and my brother also join NBA basketball camps.

We also brought a spalding ball to the arena, just because we want to have the autograph .

After we got into the arena, we went to the first row to wait for Jeremy Lin to come out and practice shooting and dribbling, so if he finished practicing , we would have chances to get his autograph .

When he finished practicing, we were still in the same place, so we found out that he wouldn't give us his autograph here, because this is the place where they work, but when we found out that he gave us autograph in the way that he comes out from the lounge, then that is too slow.

When we went back to the our seat, me, my brother and my father saw that my mother was looking at some pictures that she caught from Jeremy Lin, so we asked her "What cool pictures did you caught... mom?" After it we went down again to see if any of those players would give us autograph, Robert was Charlotte Hornet team's sub, he went out to practice, this time we were not stupid, we went to the place that the players would run into their lounge, so we got his autograph. Later , because Nicolas Batum had an injury, he talked to somebody on the court and sat on the bench and dribbled so low and quick, so we got a chance to have the autograph from him. "Batum" said me and my brother with a very loud voice, he looked at us and gave us his autograph. I thought he was so tired at giving his autograph because my brother and i both brought a notebook, and my dad brought a ball. He gave us three of his autograph. His autograph looked cool because he gave me and my brother Batum, and he gave my dad a RX in cursive. i thought that was amazing. 

After it, the game begins the score was tied all the time, everyone got nervous, somebody cheer up for the Charlotte Hornets, somebody cheer up for the Sacramento Kings, we cheered up for the Charlotte Hornets, because we want to help Jeremy Lin to win the game, we also saw many Asian people there to cheer up for Jeremy Lin. At the end of the game, the score was tied, so they had a overtime game, we are supposed to get back to our hotel at that time, but we didn't, because Jeremy Lin is on the court. After the first overtime, they got a second overtime, they got tied in the last few seconds again everyone thought they're going to have a third overtime game , but they don't because Troy Daniels threw IN A THREE POINTER SHOT , so the Hornets won the game, and the Sacramento Kings lost, we're so happy even we're not in Charlotte Hornet's Stadium. After all my brother told me that Troy Daniels is a sub and he doesn't play very well on the court, so everyone are amazed with his three pointer shot. We try to get some autograph at the end, but none of these players did the autograph, they just high-five with you and they went into their lounge, i think they're tired, and they have a game tomorrow, so they didn't give autograph at last.

A grandma who has short curly white hair came to us and asked us

"Hi did you want the ticket, because i can't shoot a basketball" said a grandma with a high tone

"Thank you" said me and my mother with a smile

Actually i know how to play basketball, but after i wanted to gave the chance to my brother because his skills is better than mine, when my brother went onto the court, my mom and dad took the video when he was shooting, but my brother just shoot an air ball, that is really weird , because he play basketball very often , and the staff tell him to shoot from the very easy place,

"My hands just slip off, so i threw an air ball" he said with a sad face

"okay fine, you have tried so i'm happy" mom said with a happy tone

When we came back to our hotel, we ate some chips and watch the replay highlights of the game. I was nervous about if i didn't get NBA players autograph, so i didn't saw the last three pointer shot. I watched it until 11p.m. and then i went onto my bed. I thought about my brother's air ball shot when i was lying on my bed, i thought it was great then, so i went to sleep

I think this trip was fabulous, i really like it, i also wish i can go to watch Golden State Warriors on next winter. I enjoy watching the game, also the moment when NBA players were signing their autograph then giving to me, and getting close enough to the NBA players. I really want to say Thank You to my dad because he paid for the money so we got chances to do what i want in the trip this time, i really enjoy it.
