Chapter 61: Chu Xue Arrives in the United States
Adelman kept adjusting the lineup, replacing Maddie and then Battier, trying to cooperate with Da Yao and Wu Di back and forth. Adelman, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", unexpectedly discovered that Wu Di can not only be good at blocking and dismantling, but also Tebi can run.
When Maddie breaks through, Wu Di will mostly throw off defenders and form an open space, and as long as Maddie passes the ball, he can shoot. According to Wu Di's usual shooting rate, Wu Di's vacant shooting is basically nine out of ten.
In other words, as long as Maddie passes the ball, then Wu Di can throw the ball in. What a fortune! Adelman would love to see how many goals Wu Di could throw, but he couldn't do that because he had to take care of Maddie's emotions.
Adelman was saddened to watch as Woody kept running, and then Maddie kept hitting the basket or shooting at the defender.
In the fourth quarter, Adelman swapped Maddy. He's going to protect Maddie now from getting hurt in an inconsequential game like preseason.
Da Yao was also replaced, and he is also a person who is prone to injury. When no one is using it, or when the game is behind, there is nothing wrong with playing the two of them. But now that the Rockets are ahead, Adelman will practice more bench lineups, and Tebi is one of these rookies, whether it is Wu Di, Brooks, or Landry is very good, and maybe a regular bench lineup can be formed.
In the end, the Rockets won the game 99-96. The gang almost lost the game, and no one in the Rockets could contain Paul, but the Hornets didn't let Paul play for long, and the Rockets won by a narrow margin.
The Rockets' second preseason game was against Panathin, whose full name is Panathinaikos, and he is a team from Athens, Greece. On the 12th, the Rockets hosted Panasin at home and welcomed the guest from Europe.
Although European teams are already strong, there is still a big gap between them and NBA teams. As the top league in the world, the NBA has a lot more players than any other league.
The Rockets easily won by more than 30 points over Panasin, and Wu Di didn't play much time. Adelman already knew a lot about Wu Di, so he didn't let Wu Di have too much time.
After a comfortable win over Panasin, the Rockets face the Mavericks a week later.
Taking advantage of the six days in between, Wu Di rented an apartment in Houston for $1,000 a month. Wu Di can still afford this price, he has a salary of more than 100,000 yuan every month, and he can get tens of thousands of dollars, and he can completely afford such a house.
He is now considered to have a foothold in the NBA, and he asked Chu Xue to apply for a visa as early as after signing the contract. On October 15, Chu Xue finally set foot on the land of Houston.
Chu Xue is seven months pregnant, and she had a physical examination before getting on the plane. Her visa is a work visa, and her position is for Wu Di to work as a personal assistant, and she took the path of Dayao Economic Company.
Wu Di took Chu Xue to the hospital for an examination, and booked a ward to use when Chu Xue gave birth. According to U.S. law, as long as the child is born in the U.S., there are many benefits.
First of all, the child will have U.S. citizenship and will have another chance to choose U.S. citizenship when he becomes an adult.
Secondly, you can enjoy 13 years of compulsory education in the United States, and complete the course from elementary school to high school for free.
Thirdly, they enjoy various benefits in the United States, such as social welfare, school benefits, and their parents can apply for a dependent green card when the child reaches the age of 21.
Of course, before the child was born, Wu Di did not get any welfare care, and the money that should be spent still had to be spent, and the amount was quite large. However, there is a little advantage, as long as you have money, you can get all kinds of services, and the services are absolutely in place.
Chu Xue wanted a green card and even immigrated to the United States. Now that her wish is half accomplished, she will only have to wait for the child to be born, and she will be three-quarters of the way through. All that's left is to wait, for her to have a regular job, or to be married after 21 years.
Wu Di is still resistant to the child becoming an American citizen, but this is Chu Xue's wish, and the only thing Wu Di can do is to help Chu Xue get a green card before the child becomes an adult. There are really a lot of social benefits in the United States, and all kinds of social activities seem to be very high-minded, no wonder Chu Xue yearns for life abroad.
But Wu Di also knows that if you want to have it, you have to pay. All kinds of social welfare in the United States are overdrafts for ordinary people, and many Americans buy insurance or enter securities, thinking that money will depreciate if it is in the bank. So once the social and economic turmoil occurs, many people go bankrupt and then can only survive on social welfare.
In order to prevent his children from becoming American citizens in the future, Wu Di spent a lot of time studying the social situation in the United States in his free time. He found that when the U.S. economy was in turmoil, only the super-rich and those of Chinese descent who didn't like to spend money were least affected.
But Chu Xue doesn't think so, Wu Di can't talk to her too much now, and she won't listen to what she says, and it will even cause her disgust and affect the fetus.
On the 19th, the Rockets hosted the Mavericks. The Mavericks are led by Dirk Nowitzki, and the Mavericks are strong with Josh Howard, Jason Terry, Devin Harris, Eric Dampier, Eddie Jones and others. The Mavericks, who are in the top three in Texas, have always been strong and have made the playoffs almost every year.
You must know that the current NBA, the West is strong and the East is weak, as long as it can enter the playoffs in the West, it is basically a strong team. Last year, for example, the eighth-place Warriors had 42 wins, more than sixth in the Northeast. You must know that last year, the east and west were still relatively balanced, and they were still able to overpower the two rankings.
Dirk Nowitzki is strong, and his shots are nicknamed Golden Rooster Independent, which is difficult to block. Domestic netizens summarized several unsolvable techniques in the NBA, Duncan's boarding, Da Yao's shooting, Maddy's dry pulling, Kobe Bryant's back, etc., including Nowitzki's Golden Rooster Independence.
Wu Di has begun to know the NBA superstars, every NBA superstar has his own unique skills, and even every star player has his own uniqueness. But what Wu Di wants is all-round development, and if he wants to complete the task of the system, he can only develop all-round.
Wu Di has watched every superstar fight in the game video, but only when he fights against them does he know how strong they are. It's like Paul, you don't know how strong he is if you don't play against him, and the video doesn't look hard to deal with, but when you face him, you immediately lose that idea.
But it's a pity that Wu Di didn't have a chance to face Nowitzki, not only him, but even Hayes and Scola couldn't play against Nowitzki because they were too short.
