Chapter 118: The Gathering

107-105, Jiang Yang killed the Knicks at the last moment, ending the Knicks' two-game winning streak, and also allowing the Celtics to win a game, saving the atmosphere of losing to the Magic the day before yesterday, and the whole team was full of joy.

Although Jiang Yang usually doesn't like to talk, he is an active core figure on the field.

In just three games, Jiang Yang's status in Doug Rivers' heart has improved rapidly, especially in the last game.

Jiang Yang's key play in the final moments made Doug Rivers feel more and more different about this little guy.

In the third game, Paul Pierce got the title of MVP of the game, he had 6 assists and 9 rebounds at the beginning of 33, the data was quite dazzling, Perkins had 16 points and 13 rebounds in the game, and he also completed his task of working hard under the basket.

Rondo had 14 points, 10 assists and 9 rebounds in the game, and almost had a triple-double, but the score was a little less.

What is a little disappointing is Ray Allen and Garnet, the former scored 13 points in the game, but the sharp three-point shot in the past is gone, and there are only 6 shots in 1 of the game, and Garnett on the other side is not good, only hit 4 of 15 shots in the whole game, and scored 10 points, on the other hand, Jiang Yang, the performance is really good.

Jiang Yang shot 8 times in the whole game, hit 5, 62% shooting rate, very perfect, 10 points, 7 assists and 1 rebound, which also made Jiang Yang one of the people who scored double-doubles, and the most important thing was his dunk at the end.

officially laid the victory of the Celtics, and after the game, Doug Rivers was even thinking about whether it would be possible to play overtime if Jiang Yang was allowed to play in the fourth quarter, of course, there is no 'possibility' in this world, although it does not exist, but the result is always good, the Celtics won the game, returned to their hometown, Boston, with an easy victory, and prepared for the next game against the 76ers.

Time in the United States can basically be divided into two parts, Eastern Time and Western Time, of course, there will be many subdivided time periods, but basically people only take Eastern Time and Western Time as an example, Eastern Time is one hour behind Western Time, that is to say, it is 10 o'clock in the morning in the Eastern United States, and 11 o'clock in the afternoon in the Western United States.

But these problems are not big, Li Hao They played the game at one o'clock at noon, and it was only half past three after the game, today it is rare for Doug Rivers to give his players a half-day off, after the game, after attending the press conference, back to the hotel, and then their own activities, of course, if you want to stay in the hotel, it doesn't matter.

But basically no one will stay there, just take the team's bus, Jiang Yang and the others returned to the hotel chartered by the team, Jiang Yang just walked into the room and put the luggage in, and there was a knock on the door outside the room.

"Who?" Jiang Yang opened the door a little unexpectedly and looked at Pierce outside, why did he come to find himself at this time?

"Hey, Man, you should go out and 'fart' at this time, right?" Seeing Jiang Yang's surprised gaze, Pierce smiled and turned around, then raised his eyebrows at Jiang Yang, and listened to Pierce's words, Jiang Yang originally wanted to refuse, but then thought about it, he entered the NBA with the help of Pierce, and it was not good if he rejected him.

"Okay, I'm in for dinner!" Li Hao is now half a rich man, his salary is 330,000 US dollars a year, and Danny Angie paid it all directly, and once gave Jiang Yang 300,000 US dollars (30,000 is tax).

However, Jiang Yang is not ready to use this money to buy a house in Boston or anything like that, he still likes to live in an apartment and doesn't need money.

Chinese thank others like this, if someone has helped you and you don't want to give him money, then invite him to dinner.

"Oh? Yes, yes, are you very willing? Haha, just right, I heard that Chinese food in New York is great, let's try it together! Just as Jiang Yang and Pierce were talking, a big head suddenly popped up next to him.

It's none other than Kevin Garnett, in fact, he just finished packing up and wanted to go out to play, and when he heard Pierce and Jiang Yang's words, the team naturally wanted to go out and have a ride, looking at Garnett's appearance, Jiang Yang shrugged his shoulders, anyway, he was not bad for Garnett's pair of chopsticks, just to eat Chinese food, Li Hao has not eaten an authentic meal since he came to the United States.

"Huh? Going out to eat? Oh well, let's go! And at this time, Ray Allen, who was dressed in formal clothes, happened to walk by here, and when he saw Pierce and Garnett and Jiang Yang, he also walked over with a smile, looking at the three giants, Jiang Yang's eyebrows jumped, the price of eating for four people is definitely much worse than the price of eating for two people...... Better...... However, some people have said that the more you pick, the more money you spend, and the more distressed you become...... This has been proven by the facts.

Just when Jiang Yang wanted to hurry up and pull them to finish eating, and then come back, the door of Rondo, who lived next to Jiang Yang, opened, and seeing that Londo was also dressed as going out, he looked at Jiang Yang and the other four with a surprised expression.

"Huh? What are you going to do? I want to go to Flushing for some Chinese food, would you like to join us? Listening to Rondo's words, Jiang Yang slapped his head on the door, and it seemed that he was going to bleed a lot today.

"Okay, let's go, let's go eat!" But Garnett: They don't care what Jiang Yang's face is.

With a wave of his hand, he strode towards the outside of the hotel, and among the five people, four of them were all dressed in the same way when they went out.

Woolen hats, big sunglasses, and a scarf that can cover your mouth, although American fans are not as crazy as China's, if they run into them on the street, they will definitely not be good, not to mention that they just won the Knicks.

Among the five people, only Jiang Yang's dress is the most normal, Jiang Yang does not wear glasses, nor does he wear a scarf, but he wears a hat, who calls him not a celebrity now, he is not afraid of being photographed by the paparazzi.

Out of the door of the hotel, Jiang Yang and the others walked to the street next to it, which was New York's Chinatown.

New York's Chinatown, located on Lower Manhattan Street, is also called Chinatown, but NBA stars rarely come here to eat, because they call it a large Western restaurant, and Chinese food is not American food.

However, because Jiang Yang was there this time, they could only follow Jiang Yang to eat here, and Jiang Yang was also the first time to come to Chinatown.

Originally, when it was outside Chinatown, it was an obvious American city, because there were foreign yards written everywhere.

But after entering Chinatown, the atmosphere changed instantly, and countless familiar words from Jiang Yang appeared on the corner of the roadside.

The people next to them were not yellow-haired and blue-eyed foreigners outside the street, but all became black-haired and black-eyed Chinese, because they finished the game at half past three in the evening, attended the press conference, and then added to the hotel to clean up.

By the time Jiang Yang and the others came here, it was already dinner time, and it was past five o'clock.

Both sides of the street are full of Chinese restaurants, and some sell live seafood in the market, compared to seafood in other cities, the seafood here is cheap and fresh, coupled with the unique cooking art of the Chinese, eating seafood here is great.

Jiang Yang doesn't care, but the four people next to him are not the masters who lack seafood.

After searching all the way, Jiang Yang casually found a Chinese restaurant called Da Hongyun, and Jiang Yang had never been to New York.

Naturally, he didn't know where it would look better, but this restaurant called Da Hongyun was crowded with people.

"There are a lot of people in this family, go in and have a look!" Looking at this store, Jiang Yang turned to the four people behind him and asked.

"I don't care, I'm just here to try Chinese food!" Garnett shrugged his shoulders and laughed, looking at so many people, the only thing he was worried about now was what to do if he was recognized...... After all, walking on the street, there are five people in a group, four of them are nearly two meters tall, one must be more than two meters tall, and the shortest one is also one meter nine, such a height must have attracted a lot of people's attention.

But it may be because they are dressed up too well, or it may be that the fans are qualified, and the group was not recognized, and they came here safely all the way, Jiang Yang saw that everyone had no opinions, so he took everyone inside.

"Excuse me, sir, do you have a reservation?" But as soon as they reached the door, a doorman stopped them.

Following the doorman's gaze, Jiang Yang and the others saw that there were still many guests queuing up there.

I didn't expect this hotel to be so popular, it was really beyond Jiang Yang's expectations.

"Uh, we have a reservation, but there's no room in there? Let's go when we're done eating! Looking at the doorman in front of him, Jiang Yang said slowly, and walked into the door, the bursts of rice in the restaurant really made Jiang Yang a little greedy.

"I'm sorry sir, please don't make it difficult for us, we have a hard time entertaining you without reservations!" Just when Jiang Yang and the doorman were talking there, a big fat man came out of the door, looking at this big fat man, he should be three hundred pounds, with a big belly, he is the owner of this store, a Chinese, originally he was watching in the store, but who knew that he suddenly heard the doorman and people talking outside, such things often appear in them every day, there are always some Americans, thinking that they have something special, so they want to come in and eat without queuing, but how can it be so easy.

In his place, this is not good, if you want to come in to eat, you have to line up, and then those Americans are not obediently lined up, and no one wants to come in to eat without queuing for a long time, in the spirit of curiosity, this big fat man walked out, wanting to see if it was someone he had seen before, but who knew that when he came out, he found that it was not an American talking there, but a Chinese, of course, there were four tall black people standing behind him.

"Hey man, we've got to line up here to eat!" Seeing Jiang Yang, the fat boss came over with a smile, and when he saw that the bosses had appeared, Jiang Yang could only smile helplessly, it seemed that he couldn't eat here, and he just wanted to turn around and go to this restaurant with Pierce, but the boss suddenly stopped himself.

The four of them are wearing sunglasses or something, but Jiang Yang is not wearing them, don't say this boss, he is really a basketball fan.

At first, he saw that Jiang Yang did not come out, and when Jiang Yang was about to leave, he saw the Celtics hoodie that Jiang Yang was wearing outside, and the Peugeot on the hat, and then he remembered.

"Hi, brother, I'm sorry, ask me, are you Jiang Yang!" When the fat boss saw that Jiang Yang was leaving, he immediately walked over and asked with a smile, after listening to the boss's words, Jiang Yang nodded, there was no need to deny it.

"Oh, it's really you, then they, he's Kevin, he's Paul, here's Ray, this is Rajan! Oh my God, it's my pleasure to come to my little shop, there is a private room in it, which I reserved for my distinguished guests, and now it's yours! Ha ha! Fast forward, fast forward! After being recognized by the boss, the adults were a little embarrassed, looking at the strange eyes of the people next to them, everyone also knew that they would go in at this time.

Otherwise, it is easy to be recognized outside, and under the leadership of the boss, everyone walks directly into the restaurant.

This boss took Jiang Yang and others to a large private room, it can be seen that this private room should be usually used for people to set wine, but now it is Jiang Yang and them, Jiang Yang and they sat down in front of the huge round table, and the boss handed over the menu with a smile, Boston and New York are very close, because the Knicks have been playing worse and worse in recent years, so many fans have defected and taken refuge in the Celtics, who are now known as Zhongtian.

Although this fat boss is a pure Knicks fan, but first, he is Chinese, just like yes, Chinese, whether they love patriotism or not, at least nine out of ten people support Yao Ming, and now Jiang Yang is a very bullish person in the hearts of the Chinese people, winning glory for the country! Second, he is a fan, even if the Celtics just beat the Knicks, he adores the superstars in these leagues from the bottom of his heart! Thirdly, he is a businessman!

The NBA superstar has eaten in his own store, which is a face-saving thing!

The above three points are the reasons why this boss has changed his attitude towards Jiang Yang 180 degrees.

Usually, this private room will be opened unless it is the big guys in Chinatown who set up wine, but today for the sake of Jiang Yang and the five of them, it doesn't matter if they open it once, the boss who laughed at Mimi looked at Jiang Yang and the others who were sitting there, full of business.

"Let's order first!" took out the recipe and handed it to Jiang Yang, originally Jiang Yang wanted to ask them what they were eating.

But Pierce didn't order them, just let Jiang Yang watch it, it's not that they don't want to order, but they don't know what to order, they have eaten Chinese food before, but they definitely don't know Jiang Yang, just like plus this time Jiang Yang is a treat, they are not good at ordering some dishes that are not very delicious, Jiang Yang knows what the other party thinks, smiled and took the recipe and ordered.

There are many types of this dish, Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Jiang Yang did not hesitate, ordered a kung pao chicken, a fish-flavored shredded pork, and then ordered a boiled pork slices, plus a sea fish, scallion oil so made, plus a plate of cold vegetables, a plate of fried vegetables, a plate of garlic shrimp, and a bowl of beef soup, worthy of Chinatown.

For these seven dishes and one soup, Jiang Yang actually asked for nearly 400 US dollars, and according to the practice here, he had to pay first before serving.

However, as soon as Jiang Yang wanted to take the money to pay the bill, the other party's boss left with a smile, according to his words, you come to my small shop to give me face, and you will not accept Jiang Yang's money from them, and in the end, if you can't screw it, you will say that you will finish eating.

It should be that the boss specially asked the kitchen to cook what Jiang Yang and they wanted to eat first, so soon Jiang Yang and their dishes were served first. NBA players say they haven't eaten Chinese food, that's no! I've basically eaten them all.

After all, there are Chinese restaurants all over the United States, even in small towns like Yili.

But the Chinese food made there is basically to meet the taste of Americans, sour and sweet, if you want to eat authentic Chinese food in the United States, you can only eat authentic Chinese food in New York or Los Angeles, and the Chinese food in New York is better than Los Angeles, because they have kebabs here, and soon, after the dishes came up, everyone started, Americans don't like to talk about things during meals, so Jiang Yang didn't talk to them, and when they ate almost in one go, a few people began to talk slowly, these people are worthy of athletes, It's really delicious, the dishes in this restaurant are not small, usually five people eat five dishes is enough, and Jiang Yang They didn't eat enough for eight, Jiang Yang specially ordered five dishes.

Everyone is considered to be full, a meal, from half past five to more than nine o'clock to finish, Jiang Yang probably calculated, tonight's meal, asked him at least eight hundred dollars, eight hundred dollars, this is still without eating abalone, shark fin, without eating any luxury, if you eat like this every day, Jiang Yang is really a little empty.

However, at the end of the checkout, the boss said that he didn't want any money, and finally after sharing a scene with Jiang Yang and others, it was regarded as food money, and Jiang Yang was embarrassed in the face of his fans, so he could only agree with a smile.

However, Jiang Yang's money was not spent, it was not spent, and these guys didn't plan to let Jiang Yang take it back like this.

At the moment, he took a taxi directly and went straight to the most famous nightclub in New York, since Jiang Yang didn't spend the money in the hotel, then spend it in the nightclub, even if it was not to buy wine, but to spend it himself, then Garnett and they were very happy.

Originally, Jiang Yang wanted to go back after eating, but he couldn't bear them and said, so he could only follow them.

After taking two taxis, everyone came to the outside of the most prestigious nightclub in New York City, according to the black driver who drove the car, here, but you can often see some big stars, maybe you will have an affair tonight!
