Chapter 48: Sweetness
Fang Chuxia always said that it seemed that he had somehow gotten on Tang Wenlong's thief ship.
However, what is certain is that she is not disgusted by this, and the sweetness on her face is visible.
The greatness of love comes from the closeness of two hearts, similar to each other, even if the distance is far, even if the time is long, they will pursue what they cherish.
Tang Wenlong suddenly felt that he was very lucky to enter the NBA hall of his dreams and have someone he loved
Xiyang City, Jiangsu Province.
The urban construction of Xiyang is like a microcosm of the entire Chinese land - changing with each passing day.
The city's dark asphalt roads are lined with lush evergreens. The name of the basketball city makes this city located along the Yangtze River a little unique, and the elements of sports can be seen everywhere in this young city.
Driving into the city from near and far, you will be attracted by the majestic roads and high-rise buildings. When the red light stops, there is an occasional line of cyclists whizzing past both sides of the road.
On both sides of the road, you can often see basketball courts with barbed wire fences erected high, and in summer, there are always people who love basketball sweating on the plastic courts.
Tang Wenlong and Fang Chuxia interlocked their fingers and sat in a taxi in Xiyang.
Tang Wenlong rolled down the window curiously, and looked outside at the freshly rising high-rise building, after more than a year, it seemed that some memories needed to be updated.
"Look, your poster." Fang Chuxia's body was next to Tang Wenlong, and he pointed to a high-rise building outside,
Tang Wenlong looked at the past, and it was really so.
On top of a familiar high-rise building, a giant poster of Tang Wenlong was hung high. Wearing the No. 9 jersey of Syracuse University, he grabbed the ball with one hand and a black background.
"Hey, there's still a bit of an artistic rush." Tang Wenlong said with a smile, not caring at all that his portrait had been violated.
"Let's just go back and have a look, it's your alma mater, okay?" Fang Chuxia grinned.
It turned out that the poster was Tang Wenlong's high school alma mater, Xiyang No. 1 Middle School. For his alma mater, he naturally takes care of it in every way, as long as he doesn't take Tang Wenlong** out to wave, basically he doesn't care.
"Forget it, high school students haven't had a vacation yet." Tang Wenlong said with a smile.
Tang Wenlong said: "But it's strange to say, I didn't expect our principal to actually use me as a publicity, you know, when I was in high school, I basically belonged to the target of the school's severe crackdown, I didn't study hard, and I played basketball all day long." β
Fang Chuxia shrugged as he followed Tang Wenlong's example, and said, "Maybe it's because the parents' thinking has changed." β
Tang Wenlong looked at Fang Chuxia's appearance, pretended to be angry, and said dissatisfied: "Okay, you learn from me again!" β
Fang Chuxia looked at Tang Wenlong's funny appearance, covered his mouth and laughed, his good-looking eyes narrowed.
"By the way, did you learn your driver's license?" Tang Wenlong asked.
Fang Chuxia raised his slender neck and said proudly: "Of course, this woman is a genius. β
"yes, I didn't even have a chance to learn a driver's license, so I'll learn it another day."
"Oh, you're so stupid, you can't learn it"
Tang Wenlong: ""
After the NBA entered July, it opened the trade market, young free agents all over the world looking for the next team suitable for their development, and older free agents all over the world looking for a suitable team for their retirement, and it would be best to win the championship.
The strong team held a team work meeting overnight to analyze the team's shortcomings and find solutions in the trading market; Rebuilding teams are trying to sell players who are no longer important to the team and free up the right salary space.
In the office of the 76ers in Philadelphia, Stefanschi and Collins read the team's player manual more than ten times, and they have a clear grasp of the players on the current team and the current difficulties encountered by the team.
"Elton Brand is too salary-oriented, his strength is fading, and I don't know how much more he can do during the off-season." Collins shook his head.
Stefanski said helplessly: "But there is no way, no one thought that Elton would degrade so quickly, you know, when he signed two years ago, he still had an average of 17+8 per game, and he was not yet 30 years old at the time." β
Collins secretly despised a Stephanz in his heart, and signed an unworthy veteran with a five-year 82 million salary contract, which was simply drunk.
He thought for a moment and continued: "Andre (Iguodala) is just entering the peak of his career, he is now quite well adjusted in all aspects, and in the small forward position, whoever plays against him will have more headaches. β
Stefanski smiled: "That's right, Andre is an ironman-like existence, and since he entered the league in 04, he has only rested for 6 games in total." β
"Actually, in the new season, I was thinking about what to do with the point guard position."
"Hey, to be honest, I was hot-headed at the time and chose Tang Wenlong in, and now it seems that he will have a conflict with our Zhu (Holiday Hope)!"
Collins thought for a moment and muttered: "Actually, it's okay, after all, Don's height is over there, and he can actually play the position of shooting guard." β
"Shooting guard?" Stephaus was slightly stunned, then a smile appeared on his face, and said, "This specific arrangement depends on how your coach does." β
Just then, the phone on the manager's desk rang.
StephaΕ‘ki and Collins stopped their discussion, then picked up the phone and answered.
Collins rested his head in his hands and leaned back in his chair, and sighed, slightly worried. He looked at Strepan Ski, "um", "yes" to the voice of the answerer on the phone, but his mind did not know where to fly away.
Stefanski hung up the phone and said seemingly casually,
"Amare Stoudemire has confirmed his move to New York, and tsk, New Yorkers are really big, 100 million in 5 years."
Although there was disdain for New York in his tone, Collins still saw Stefanski's unwillingness, you know, Stefanski is also currently on the cusp, the general manager position is in jeopardy, if he can catch a big fish in this year's free market, this will have an immeasurable effect on the continuation of his career.
It's a pity that a few days ago, big names such as Paul Pierce and Dirk Nowitzki turned down his offer and signed with the home team, and then, strong players such as Rudy Gay, Channing Frye, and Aamir Johnson couldn't get it, and missed the opportunity to increase the strength of the team.
Now, the most likely Xiaobawang has also switched to the "Big Apple" more than 150 kilometers away, which is really depressing news.
"It doesn't matter, at least it won the show this year, didn't it?" Collins reassured.
"Let's hope Don can play our expectations." Stefanski smiled bitterly
Xiyang City, Tang Wenlong's home.
In front of the familiar dinner table, Tang Bing and Yang Lan cooked a table full of dishes for their son.
"Mom, okay, don't do it, it's enough to eat." Tang Wenlong looked at his parents who were busy cooking in the kitchen, and said with some amusement.
Yang Lan's voice came out, "What are you talking about, you haven't been back for a year, and you have lost weight like this, of course you have to make up for it." And you can't eat these dishes when you go to the United States, is it possible, can Americans make egg dumplings? β
Tang Bing continued: "Yes, yes, listen to your mother, it will be fine immediately." β
"If you can't eat it, it's a waste!" Tang Wenlong couldn't help but put a piece of fish meat in his mouth and tasted it carefully, it was really delicious.
Tang Bing walked out of the kitchen with a pot of egg dumplings, his mouth stretched out the tone of his speech, imitating the little guy in the costume drama, and said: "Come ~~~, guest~~ official!" At this time, his face still had the majesty of the former captain, like an old urchin who did not grow up.
"Ouch, ouch, don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Tang Wenlong got up with a hippie smile to greet him.
"Sit down, sit down, sit down." Tang Bing waved his hand, then pulled Tang Wenlong to sit down, and said, "Stinky boy, you are cheaper today, and you are the biggest today." β
Yang Lan sat down in the position with her rice bowl, glanced at Tang Bing, and said with a smile: "Isn't it, now that Wenlong has grown up, he is naturally the head of the family, what does it mean to be cheap for him today." β
Tang Wenlong was embarrassed, feeling that in the year he was away, his parents were a little different.
He cautiously asked, "Dad, Mom, how many costume dramas have you watched this year, it's weird to talk." β
"Oops, what!" Yang Lan smiled: "How can I have time to watch costume dramas, it's too late to go to work." β
"Yes, even when you are not busy, occasionally search for your news on the Internet, it turns out that it is quite difficult to find your news, and now, especially during this time, your news is overwhelming. I'm going to the bureau now, who doesn't give me a thumbs up and say that my old Tang gave birth to a good son? Tang Bing smiled triumphantly, his face full of pride.
Yang Lan spat him and scolded with a smile: "Look at your father." β
Tang Wenlong's heart was warm, and he always had an irrepressible smile on his face.
"Hey, silly boy, don't be stunned, eat quickly." Yang Lan knocked on the edge of Tang Wenlong's bowl and said.
"Yes." Tang Wenlong nodded in response and reached out to pick up the vegetables.
Before he could stretch it out, Tang Bing had already put a steaming egg dumpling in Tang Wenlong's bowl, and smiled kindly: "Eat it while it's hot." β
"By the way, son, I watched the news two days ago, and it seems that you have a girlfriend, right?" Yang Lan suddenly asked.
Tang Wenlong was so frightened that he almost shook off his chopsticks, and then "smacked", his face was a little hot, his mouth was dry, and his ears were a little red.
"Mom, the media"
"I heard that it seems to be said in person during an interview with a host, and I don't know which beautiful high school female classmate it is" Yang Lan saw her son's expression, and knew what her son was going to say, and blocked Tang Wenlong's words one step in advance, and her prediction ability in advance was comparable to that of a top player.
"Yes, Comrade Tang Wenlong, this is your mistake, how can such a major problem not be reported to the organization for discussion?" Tang Bing immediately straightened his face and made serious criticisms.
As soon as the two of them sang and harmonized, Tang Wenlong was brought to a dead end in a few steps.
Tang Wenlong was left and right, where he still lived in disguise, and told his parents everything in 1510.
After listening to Tang Wenlong's words, Tang Bing and Yang Lan glanced at each other, and then quietly discussed a few words, Tang Bing spoke.
"Ahem, Comrade Tang Wenlong, then this personal emotional issue of yours has been carefully discussed in the organization, and I basically think it is in line with the contemporary concept of love."
"Oh also!" Tang Wenlong couldn't see his parents' support for him, and he clenched his fists and cheered loudly.
"But, whether your little girlfriend and you are in a long-distance relationship now, or the farthest one, you have to figure out how to face it yourself, and your father and I can't do anything about this." Yang Lan still said with some concern.
"Mom and Dad, you can put a hundred hearts!" Tang Wenlong said confidently, reached out to pick up the vegetables, and sandwiched a large piece of braised pork in each of Tang Bing and Yang Lan's bowls, and patted the.
Yang Lan and Tang Bing shook their heads with a smile, and were defeated by Tang Wenlong's scoundrel appearance.
