On the evening of May 11th, every seat was filled at Oracle Center, where bright yellow T-shirts made this somewhat modest old arena look like a golden wheat field.
This arena was once the Oakland-Alameda County Arena, later known as Oakland Arena, and in 2006, it became Oracle Center, named by Oracle Corporation.
Gan Guoyang once watched his first NBA game in America here, and it also witnessed his charge to the California high school league finals, becoming the starting point for his ascent to basketball greatness.
The old venue, built in 1966 and having undergone multiple modern renovations, was barely adequate, yet it couldn't compare to the newer arenas constructed in recent years.
However, this old arena with its special dome design had an excellent sound-gathering effect, where the shouts of twenty thousand fans became an ocean of noise, amplified by the echo beams.
