Chapter 126: Qin Tianhou's Good Intentions
Lin Feng didn't bother to pay attention to all kinds of doubts from the outside world, he knew that these doubts would eventually disappear with his performance on the court.
After signing, Lin Feng began to participate in the team's normal training, and the New York Knicks had a 42-40 record in the regular season, ranking eighth in the East, which was considered to be the last train to the playoffs, and their opponent in the first round of the playoffs was the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were at the top of the Eastern Conference.
It can be said that the Knicks' playoff prospects are very slim, and it is widely believed that the Knicks will be swept out of the tournament 4-0, even if the most optimistic view is that the Knicks steal a victory and are finally eliminated with a total score of 4-1.
Although the outside world is not optimistic about the New York Knicks, the team is full of energy and unity, after all, the team has not made the playoffs for five consecutive years, and it has been a fish belly team for a long time, and finally reached the playoffs, and the whole team, including the fans of the whole city, is very excited.
In particular, the New York Knicks also created the "Black Eight Miracle" and was the first team to reach the Finals as the Black Eight.
It was in the 98-99 shrinking season, the New York Knicks entered the playoffs as the eighth place in the East, and in the first round of the playoffs, they eliminated the Miami Heat, the leader of the Eastern Conference that year, with a total score of 3-2, and then eliminated the Hawks and Pacers one after another, and finally met the Spurs in the Finals, but unfortunately, that year, the Knicks' interior big man Ewing was injured in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Spurs, who had the inside twin towers, ravaged the Knicks' interior with impunity, and finally, the Knicks' Black Eight Miracle ended on the stage of the Finals.
However, this is the farthest that the NBA's five teams have created the "Black Eight Miracle", and they are only one step away from the championship......
With such a glorious history, fans across the city still have a glimmer of hope for the team's advancement, and they hope for a miracle.
As the NBA's official slogan this season says: This is where miracles are born!
……
After three days of training with the team, Lin Feng gradually integrated into the whole, and his life in Manhattan was on the right track.
And Lin Wen flew to Los Angeles after Lin Feng signed a contract with the Knicks, because their school was about to start.
Qin Han flew back to China, and he was going to participate in the blind audition of "The Voice of China".
As a result, in the huge apartment, only Shen Mengfei and Lin Feng were left.
Lonely men and widows living in the same room made Lin Feng very uncomfortable, in fact, he had already started to look for a house, but unfortunately, he didn't find a suitable one after looking for two days, the one that looked at it was too expensive, the cheap one was too remote, and the environment was poor.
At present, Lin Feng can be described as a poor bastard, before coming to the United States, he only had 600,000 RMB in his pocket, which was ready to pay the Basketball Association's fine, and the synthetic US dollar was less than 100,000.
In order to join the NBA smoothly, Lin Feng paid more than 60,000 US dollars for the tuition fee to study at Custer University and some other related expenses, plus Lin Feng's round-trip air tickets to Yanjing and New York, Lin Feng really has little money left in his pocket, as for the salary of the New York Knicks, it is paid in stages, and Lin Feng can't get the money for the time being.
"It's really not okay to have no money!"
Lin Feng stood on the balcony of the apartment, looking at the brightly lit Manhattan, and sighed in his heart.
And at this moment, his mobile phone rang, it was Qin Ruolin.
"Well?"
Qin Ruolin's cold seemed to be healing, and her voice returned to its previous sweet and crisp nature.
"Look at the scenery." Lin Feng chuckled and said, "The lights are dim, and the eyes are full of prosperity......"
"You're in the mood." Qin Ruolin asked, "One person or two people?" ”
"One." Lin Feng said.
"What? That charming and fragrant Mr. Shen didn't accompany you? Qin Ruolin quipped.
"People are busy." Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Also, don't misunderstand us, she and I are just ordinary friends." ”
"Really?" Qin Ruolin smiled coquettishly: "I think you are a good match, I think if we didn't have a nominal relationship, she would have pounced on you a long time ago." ”
"Stop, Queen Qin, you won't call me just to arrange me." Lin Feng smiled bitterly.
"Okay, then I'll let you go first." Qin Ruolin seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile: "There is something wrong with the personnel scheduling over there, so, after resting for a long time, I happen to be near your apartment now, do you want to come out and sit for a while?" ”
"Is there something wrong?"
"I can't look for you if it's okay?"
"Uh, okay then."
Lin Feng changed into a coat, took care of his image briefly, and then left the apartment.
Qin Ruolin is a person, driving a red old Lincoln, this car is square, and it looks very incompatible with Qin Ruolin's temperament.
"This car doesn't deserve you." Lin Feng sat in the co-pilot and said.
"The car of the American staff of the director's team is more convenient than taking a taxi." Qin Ruolin said, started the car, and rushed out with one foot on the accelerator.
"Where are you going?" Lin Feng was puzzled.
"You'll know when you arrive, what's the matter, you're afraid that I'll sell you?" Qin Ruolin glanced at Lin Feng.
"It's really hard to say if you don't know the place well." Lin Feng smiled.
"Cut~!" Qin Ruolin pouted and glanced at Lin Feng and stopped paying attention to him.
The car sped all the way and came to the vicinity of Madison Square Garden, Lin Feng wondered, "Where are you going?" ”
"It's almost there."
Qin Ruolin didn't say much, and the car drove past Madison Square Garden, about fifteen minutes, and entered a villa area.
Qin Ruolin's old Lincoln drove into one of the independent courtyards.
"Here we are." The car turned off, and Qin Ruolin pushed open the door.
"Here?" Lin Feng looked puzzled.
"My home." Qin Ruolin smiled and got out of the car.
"Your house??" Lin Feng's face was full of consternation: "In such a villa in Manhattan, it would cost tens of millions of dollars to jump to the least." ”
"So what?" Qin Ruolin shrugged indifferently.
"Okay, Qin Da local tyrant ......" Lin Feng got out of the car, Qin Ruolin has been famous for so many years, and she is a diva, in terms of financial resources, it is indeed not a problem to buy such a villa.
The villa has a total area of about 1,000 square meters, a floor area of about 500 square meters, two garages, a plunge pool, and a basketball court......
"I heard you're looking for a house?" Entering the villa, Qin Ruolin asked seemingly casually.
"Huh?" Lin Feng was stunned for a moment: "It was Qin Han's kid who told you, right?" ”
Lin Feng told Qin Han about the house he was looking for on the micro chat, and Qin Tianhou could know that of course he said it.
Qin Ruolin ignored this stubble and asked, "What do you think of this house?" Gym, swimming pool, basketball court and only a fifteen minute drive from Madison Square Garden......"
"The house is good, but I can't afford to rent it." Lin Feng shrugged.
"I won't charge you rent." Qin Ruolin gave him a blank look: "I rarely come to Manhattan, this house is either empty, you can live in it first." ”
"This, it's not suitable...... Lin Feng scratched his head, the house is really good, but he lives in Qin Ruolin's house for no reason, and he is naturally unsure.
"There's nothing inappropriate, you pretended to be my boyfriend and helped me so much, I don't know how to repay you, you can live in this house!" Qin Ruolin directly threw the house key to Lin Feng: "By the way, after a while, Xiao Han may have to transfer to the Manhattan Conservatory of Music, and he will live here when the time comes, you can still help me watch him, killing two birds with one stone!" ”
"This ......" Lin Feng held the key to the house, and didn't know how to choose for a while.
"Lin Feng, when did you become such a mother-in-law, you are not afraid of the Basketball Association, and you are still afraid of living in my house?" Qin Ruolin stared at Lin Feng with beautiful eyes, playing with taste: "Unless, you don't want to move out of Shen Mengfei...... place?" ”
"Where do you want to go!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Stay, just stay!" It doesn't matter if it's a silk hole, it's still a bone hole! ”
As soon as she heard this, Qin Ruolin was not happy, and said coquettishly: "Okay, you Lin Feng, you will treat me as a goblin to prevent me!?" ”
