Chapter 10: The Dragon Crosses the River

Tang Wenlong's decision to leave Xiyang No. 1 Middle School to study in the United States caused a lot of uproar.

This is definitely a big event in Xiyang No. 1 Middle School, the students of the ninth class of the third year of high school have become the focus, and when they go out to meet friends, they are all asking: Hey, is it true that Tang Wenlong in your class is going to study in the United States?

"Is it true? Wenlong? Tang Wenlong's tablemate, He Yunqiang was the first to ask, Yun Qiang glared at his eyes, which were already one size bigger than others, as if he was going to stare out, no wonder, his nickname was "He Dayan"!

Hearing this, Tang Wenlong first glared at He Yunqiang, as if he was going to stare back at his burning gaze, and then Tang Wenlong nodded and replied: "Probably, anyway, the specific situation hasn't come out yet, and the matter hasn't settled in the end, maybe you can't go?" ”

"Oh my God, you're already pretty awesome, okay?" He Dayan received Tang Wenlong's affirmative answer and shook his head in shock.

Tang Wenlong felt a little proud in his heart, and accidentally shook out more things, "This time I was born as a specialty, I heard that foreign old man say that he will go to the United States to participate in the basketball assessment of some universities, and if he passes, he will go to the NCAA in the future!" ”

"Even, your sister's!" He Dayan covered his mouth, shocked by the news, and then said in a low voice: "Oh my God, I always thought you would play CUBA, this time it's awesome, direct NCAA, jumped several grades, if you play famous and worth in college, won't you have a chance to enter the NBA in the future!" ”

Tang Wenlong nodded, his eyes narrowing with a smile.

He Dayan suddenly reacted nervously, and then began to look for something in the table.

"Found it!" He held up a brand-new notebook, then handed it to Tang Wenlong with a smile.

Tang Wenlong was a little moved and a little surprised, and asked, "Is this for me?" Knowing I'm leaving, leave me a souvenir of memories? ”

He Dayan was stunned, then shook his head, and said with a smile: "No, brother, you think too much." This is a notebook for you to sign, write me something more, and sell it for a good price when the time comes. Also, leave the books, school bags, notebooks and so on that you don't use, and I'll wait for you to become famous and sell them to make a fortune."

Tang Wenlong: ""

Tang Wenlong still goes to class every day, but now the teacher has also received the news and lets him go, no matter how distracted he is in class, as long as he doesn't make a sound.

On the other side, Joe Thomas really started to get busy, and he first called Isaiah Thomas, the current general manager of the Knicks and the "smiling assassin" of the team in multiple positions such as coaches and scouts.

"Even, dear Joe, did you find any good seedlings when you called me at night?" A lazy voice came from the other end of the line.

The big night? Joe Thomas looked at the big sun that was heating overhead, suddenly realized the problem of jet lag, and patted his head, really dizzy. Then he said apologetically, "Isaiah, I'm sorry to call you so late, but I want to report to you the last time I was asked to watch the game in Xiyang, China." ”

"Xiyang City, China?" Isaiah's tone was a little puzzled, and then he quickly turned his mind to search, and with the strong motivation of being the commander of the team, he found that there was no such instruction at all, and then said with some anger and dissatisfaction: "Joe, don't finish laughing, I didn't let you go to Xiyang City to watch the game at all!" ”

"Impossible!" Joe Thomas also raised his voice, "I obviously got the email!" It is clearly written that I went to Xiyang to watch the game! And Xiyang also happened to hold a competition not long ago, so it is impossible to go wrong! ”

"Wait!" Isaiah Thomas seemed to have grasped something, and then a bright light crossed his mind, and he suddenly asked, "What day is it?" ”

"4/16/09?" Joe Thomas was stunned for a moment, but still reflexively said the time.

"When did you get the email?" Isaiah Thomas asked again.

"April 2nd!" Joe Thomas replied, and then his voice faded to a point where he seemed to understand something, but it was still not very clear.

"I'm so sorry!" Isaiah Thomas had a stifled laugh in his tone, and then repeated: "I'm sorry, old man, I think this email should have been sent on April 1, US time, and you were in the Eastern Hemisphere, where the sun was rising, I think you should understand!" ”

"Even, Shet!" Joe Thomas understands that the breach is a classic curse.

Isaiah Thomas couldn't hold back any longer, laughed out loud, but still resolutely dissociated himself from himself: "I think you may have fallen for some guy's April Fool's joke, but I guess it was definitely not my doing, I'm busy every day, you know, not everyone can wear multiple hats." ”

Joe Thomas was depressed, he didn't expect that he actually fell into someone else's way, mainly because of jet lag, he really didn't think of it. However, he thought that he had arrived in Xiyang, and then found such a good seedling as Tang Wenlong, which could be regarded as a mistake and harvested the mulberry elm.

So he was in a better mood and continued with Isaiah Thomas: "Isaiah, I think I'm telling you that I've found a very good Chinese player! ”

"Very good Chinese player?" Isaiah Thomas read along with his words.

"Yes, very, very good." Joe Thomas couldn't wait to introduce, "He's only over 17 years old this year, but he's already shown amazing physical condition, his breakthrough is lightning fast, his dunk is thunderous. God, I've never seen such a talented young man, with a little training, he is definitely a formidable player! More importantly, he is still a Chinese, and I think the boss will be happy to hear this. ”

Isaiah Thomas was stunned by Joe's words, and then immediately showed a wicked smile, and his tone became flirtatious: "Oh~~ I know, Joe, are you joking with me?" But I really didn't send that email, I swear. Besides, I've seen a lot of black people who can run and jump, but I haven't seen yellow people! Are you telling me that our big boss in Dolan is short of money? Joe, not every boss is called Alexander, New York is not bad for money. ”

Joe Thomas was like being splashed with a bucket of cold water, and he calmed down from the top to the bottom because of the cold.

He was furious in his heart, Isaiah Thomas's words were too contemptuous, he had been in China for so long, and he had seen all kinds of capable strange people. Not to mention being able to run and jump, that is, the chest is broken with a big stone, and the iron palm water floating has been done, how can the Chinese not fly, he yelled at Isaiah Thomas: "Isaiah, you will regret it!" ”

After speaking, he turned off his mobile phone with a "snap".

After shutting down, Joe Thomas regretted it a little, after all, Isaiah Thomas is still the ruling figure of the Knicks, although his current position is a little turbulent because of the team's poor record, but no one will deny that he has a significant influence in the basketball world in New York, Tang Wenlong If he wants to enter New York and enter the Knicks in the future, he will contact Isaiah Thomas no matter what, and it is not wise to offend him.

He scratched his hair and was a little unkempt, his heart was messy, this agent is really not good, he was so troubled when he was an apprentice

Tang Wenlong didn't expect that he would one day leave his hometown where he grew up, and he would be in another hemisphere.

Parents are reluctant, relatives are reluctant, brothers and classmates are very reluctant. Yang Lan didn't sleep well in the first three days before Tang Wenlong was leaving, and she cried like she didn't look like a strong woman anymore, she was just a mother with a strong reluctance for her son now. The clothes were prepared for him one after another, and he was worried that it would be inconvenient for him to pick them up, so he picked them up and removed them one by one. Telling over and over again, and listening tirelessly, Tang Wenlong also had a great sense of reluctance in his heart, and his heart was empty, full of fear of the unknown journey.

"Behave well, listen to Thomas, don't save too much money, and take care of yourself." Tang Bing hugged Tang Wenlong tightly, instructed in his son's ear, and instructed the repeated words, as if they were going to be embedded in Tang Wenlong's heart.

In front of the airport in Xiyang, Tang Wenlong said goodbye to his relatives and friends who came to see him off one by one, he looked back and forth in the crowd, but after all, he didn't find that looking forward to the figure, and he was doubly disappointed. "It's still in class after all." Tang Wenlong comforted himself like this.

"Let's go!" Joe Thomas looked at his watch and urged.

"Yes!" Tang Wenlong turned around, the heavy suitcase began to roll, and the young and slightly thin shoulders carried a one-person-high travel backpack.

The plane began to start, quickly moved forward on the runway, and then rose into the air with a roar, crossing the sky above Xiyang City, taking away the expectations and thoughts of countless people

In the teaching building of Xiyang No. 3 Middle School, the tall and beautiful girl suddenly raised her head, she looked up at the ceiling in distraction, her eyes and thoughts penetrated the space, and her heart was full of mixed feelings
