When Qiao Hai looked at the ring in his hand, the game had already begun.

Both teams played with all the main forces, and the attack began, and the Rockets quickly took the initiative on the court.

No one in the Bobcats can defend against Yao Ming, and no one can defend against Wade, so the Rockets scored in a row, and soon, after the first quarter, 31:28, the Rockets led by 3 points.

In the second quarter of the game, the two teams played another 22-21, and the Rockets extended their one-point lead to a four-point lead at halftime.

At half-time, both teams scored a high score, and it looked like the Bobcats were only four points behind, and the chances of winning this game were still there.

But in the third quarter, the rocket began to exert its strength, and Yao Ming scored consecutive points in the opening quarter, and after scoring 11 points in a row, the score difference was widened.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bobcats trailed by 16 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Bobcats tried hard to chase the score, but they still lost by 9 points at 101:110 in the end.

The Rockets snapped their 12th straight win, ending the Bobcats' previous three-game winning streak.

After the game, Qiao Hai found Stanreford again, and after a "punch and kick", he made a joke again.

"You old boy, you don't spare any hands!"

Yao Ming chipped in 26 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks, Wade had 29 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, plus several bench players who broke out on the bench, this game Stamrefour can indeed be called unsparing.

In the face of Qiao Hai's complaints, Stan Lefu also had a hippie smile: "No way, if you keep your hand, we will lose now." ”

Qiao Hai rolled his eyes, very helpless.

……

After losing to the Rockets, on December 22, the Bobcats returned to their home court to play the Rockets again.

In this game, Stamrefour still did not stay, and continued to use the absolute advantage of the rocket's strength to suppress the Bobcats.

In the end, the Rockets won 107-90 again, and the Bobcats ushered in two consecutive defeats, with an overall record of 13 wins and 9 losses, still having a winning rate of more than 50%, and firmly occupying a playoff spot.

Then, Christmas came.

This season, the Bobcats did not have a Christmas game scheduled, so after the game, the Bobcats took a holiday and stayed until the 26th.

Qiao Hai was completely idle.

……

Before Christmas, Han Xue also took a few days off and moved directly to Qiao Hai's apartment in Charlotte.

Jimmy Butler usually lives in school, but before Christmas, he also had a holiday, but he took a few days off with Joe and flew back to Houston.

The reason is, this Christmas, Jimmy Butler is going to spend it with his partners in Houston - DeAndre Jordan and Mike McRuger.

As a result, only Qiao Hai and Han Xue were left in the apartment.

……

On December 23, Qiao Hai cleaned the room, and Han Xue was busy in the kitchen.

"Old Han, how do you want to spend this Christmas?"

It's been six or seven years since he came to the United States, and Qiao Hai has spent countless Christmas, and now, he is a little less passionate about Christmas.

But when he thought about it, it seemed that the whole Christmas was different again, because this Christmas was the first Christmas after he established a relationship with Han Xue.

Therefore, while asking this question, Qiao Hai actually already had an idea.

The movements in Han Xue's hand had already stopped, tilting her head, as if she was thinking.

Qiao Hai put down the vacuum cleaner in his hand, pounced, and hugged Han Xue from behind: "Or, the two of us have a two-person world?" How about going to the supermarket to buy some ingredients or something, and cooking your own meal? ”

Han Xue nodded first, and then as if she suddenly remembered something, she turned her head to look at Qiao Hai: "Then we won't go to other people's houses to eat this year?" ”

"I'm not going." Qiao Hai shook his head, this year, he only wanted to live a two-person world.

Han Xue also nodded: "It's okay not to go, then it's decided, let's buy our own vegetables, cook our own meals, and live our own two-person world!" ”

……

The next day, the two drove to the city and arrived at the mall to start their big purchase.

"Buy some hot pot ingredients, let's go back and eat hot pot."

"Buy some chicken, I'll make you a big plate of chicken."

“……”

In terms of ingredients, the two of them bought ingredients from Chinese food, and Qiao Hai also knew a little bit of Western food, but Han Xue and he were tired of eating, and they finally had time, so they naturally had to change their tastes.

The outlet mall in downtown Charlotte is the largest mall in North Carolina, with a variety of specialty stores in addition to a Walmart supermarket.

"What are you going to give your players this Christmas? Do you want to buy it together? Han Xue proposed the concept of gifts.

Qiao Hai smiled: "I have already thought of this thing as a gift." ”

Soon, he led Han Xue to visit several computer stores, and finally ordered more than 20 laptops in a brand computer flagship store.

Then, he led Han Xue to continue shopping.

In the end, he didn't buy a gift for Han Xue, and Han Xue's small mouth pouted again.

But Qiao Hai promised: "The gift, I have prepared it for you a long time ago, you just wait!" ”

As a result, Han Xue's face bloomed like a flower again.

……

It's Christmas.

The sound of pots and pans sounded in the apartment, Han Xue was busy for a while, and there were a few more dishes on the table, and Qiao Hai went into the kitchen for a while, and there were a few more dishes on the table.

When the meal is ready, turn off the lights and light the candles.

The atmosphere was set off at once.

Han Xue sat opposite Qiao Hai, Qiao Hai sat opposite Han Xue, a huge apartment, and now there were only the two of them.

It's a world for the two of them, and no one else bothered them.

"The sea, this is my gift for you."

Han Xue suddenly took out a box, it was not big or small, it didn't look like a big thing, but looking at the exquisiteness of the packaging, it shouldn't be too cheap.

"Guess what?"

Han Xue let him guess, Qiao Hai guessed, he looked at the box again, and blurted out: "Watch? ”

Han Xue's smiling face immediately collapsed, obviously, Qiao Hai guessed correctly.

The box opened, and sure enough, it was a limited-edition Rolex, worth more than $10,000, and Han Xue obviously had a blood out, but Qiao Hai knew that compared to his blood, Han Xue's blood was not enough to see.

Turning his head, he pulled out his gift.

It's not too beautifully packaged, it's just a small box, and it looks like it's not light.

"Open it."

Han Xue took it, and then opened it as she said.

A crystal clear flash flashed through Han Xue's eyes, and then, she saw a huge diamond.

"Pigeon eggs, 14 carats, I asked Mr. Leslie Alexander to bring me a piece when the Rockets were making a championship ring."

Han Xue was obviously moved, the diamond ring the size of a pigeon's egg was worth a lot, needless to say, Qiao Hai did have a ruthless blood.

This time, Qiao Hai spent at least millions of dollars!
