Chapter 11: Blackjack

Tang Wenlong said that he was a cross-river Raptor, Joe Thomas didn't understand the meaning of this, but he could also feel the vigor and vitality of this young man under the age of 18, and people with dreams would always be easy to infect others.

New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, where flights from the Far East are approaching in the middle of the day.

At noon at the New York airport, you can still see passengers coming and going, there are many flights arriving in New York at this point in time, and the security personnel at the airport are busy conducting security checks for each passenger.

In the distance came two tall travelers, an eye-catching combination, one young and handsome Asian, the other a gray-haired white-bearded old man, both carrying heavy travel bags, and the young man dragging a huge suitcase in his hand.

It was Tang Wenlong and Joe Thomas.

Not long after the two of them passed the security check, a man in black came over, it was close to May, wearing a pair of cool sunglasses, the man in black greeted Joe Thomas with open hands, and gave a warm welcome from his mouth, "Oh, my old man, you're finally back, I heard you're coming back, I've been waiting for a long time!" ”

After getting closer, Tang Wenlong realized that this cool man in black turned out to be an elderly old man, and after the old man took off his sunglasses, he had a smile on his face, looking full of affinity. He looked the old man in black up and down, and found that his height was not low, at most about a few centimeters shorter than him.

Joe Thomas also opened his hands, and the two came to a strong hug: "Oh, my dear Jack, I'm so glad to see you!" ”

But in the corner that Tang Wenlong couldn't see, the two bit their ears and talked in a low voice.

Jack: "Is this the genius boy you strongly recommend to Alina?" Looks skinny! There's nothing out of the ordinary, of course, he's pretty handsome. I really didn't expect that one day you would find Alina for basketball, have you forgotten the excessive things she did back then? ”

Joe Thomas scolded in a low voice and said, "You know a fart, Don has a huge potential in him, if you watch him play, you will definitely be fascinated by him, he is a magical little guy!" ”

The two parted again, an invisible smile on their faces. That Jack left Joe Thomas, and then reached out to Tang Wenlong to make a hug gesture, "Dear little guy, I'm Black Jack, it's nice to meet you!" ”

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Blackjack!" Tang Wenlong put down the package on his body in a panic, looking a little hurried, and then greeted Jack respectfully, of course, he was also very unaccustomed to hugging an old man like this, you know, when he was in China, he rarely even encountered a handshake.

"Let's go, my car is parked in the underground parking lot!" After a few more pleasantries with Joe Thomas, Jack tilted his neck and signaled that they could leave the airport together.

Tang Wenlong, who had been listening impatiently for a long time, immediately picked up his backpack again when he heard this, and then the three of them walked side by side to the elevator door.

"You better take a break today, Alina has entrusted this matter to the current head coach of the school, of course, according to Jim's temperament, whether he can pass it is another matter. Fortunately, this year's team's main star point guard Jonny Flynn will participate in the draft, and the point guard position is also a lack of reserves, and the possibility of passing is still very high! Blackjack spoke very quickly, Tang Wenlong understood half of it, his eyes blinked at Joe Thomas, and his expression was slightly cute.

The trio got into the large-displacement Land Rover SUV, and then thuded out of the airport and headed for the bustling city of New York.

Joe Thomas introduced New York to Tang Wenlong with some pride: "Don, this is the largest city in the United States and the largest city in the world!" Did you know that New York is the financial center of the world, where people become millionaires every day, and business and finance are extremely developed? ”

Jack, the black man driving in front, laughed and immediately responded: "It's a pity that we are going to a small country near this huge city, no matter how good New York is, after all, it is only the world of the rich." ”

"Go, go, say depressing words!" Joe Thomas interrupted Jack's words impatiently, and then said to Tang Wenlong with some shame: "Don, we are going to Syracuse University this time, but you know, Syracuse University is not in New York City, it is still a little bit away from New York, of course, I believe that you are not the kind of person who pursues material things, and receiving better education and training is what you really desire, isn't it?" ”

Tang Wenlong understood something, but he kept nodding. Black Jack, who was driving in front of him, saw that Tang Wenlong was so sensible, and nodded with satisfaction, at least it was not a thorn that was difficult to discipline.

However, this legendary little distance is nearly five hours after driving, if it wasn't for the lunch on the plane before, I'm afraid Tang Wenlong would have his chest against his back at this moment. Even so, after several hours of sitting in the car, he was sick and tired.

"Wow, it's here! Old man, go out for a drink or two? Blackjack sent Don Wenlong and Joe Thomas to a hotel in Syracuse and excitedly proposed.

"Okay!" Joe Thomas was also in high spirits, and then the two of them turned their heads to look at Tang Wenlong together.

Tang Wenlong understood at this moment, and felt that while waving his hand, he shook his head, "No, no, no, I'm not going, I'm not going." ”

Black Jack was very fond of Tang Wenlong, reached out and hooked the neck of this young man who was thirty years younger than him, and said enthusiastically: "Let's go, it's okay, drink some wine to warm up your body, you know, Syracuse is known as Syracuse here, and the temperature is naturally low, so we like to drink here!" ”

Tang Wenlong looked at Joe Thomas with a distress look.

Joe Thomas thought for a while, and then spoke to help Tang Wenlong speak: "Forget Jack, Don he still has Coach Jim's assessment tomorrow, he is already very tired today, let him rest early!" ”

Hearing Joe Thomas say this, Black Jack reluctantly let go of Tang Wenlong, but still didn't forget to ask him to drink next time, "Okay, since this is the case, forget it this time, but next time you must be with us, it's rare to come to Syracuse once, how can you treat it well." ”

Tang Wenlong couldn't cry and laughed, and nodded. And Joe Thomas was upset when he heard it, what is it rare to come to Syracuse once, and then my Don is a talented player who is going to study at Syracuse University!

The two ordered a dinner for Tang Wenlong, and then walked out shoulder to shoulder against the black night that had fallen.

Tang Wenlong shook his head, turned around and returned to the upstairs room.

Half an hour later, Tang Wenlong heard someone knocking on the door outside. "I'm here to deliver dinner!" Tang Wenlong, who had been hungry for a long time, jumped up from the big bed, and then opened the door.

When he opened it, he was stunned.

The woman outside the door was also a little stunned, but her good professional ethics still allowed her to promote the business as soon as possible, "Sir, do you want to spend a wonderful night with me?" The woman looked less than thirty years old, her skin was a little dark, and she didn't care about Tang Wenlong's immature face, and her huge breasts seemed to be about to come out.

Tang Wenlong's face turned red and he couldn't speak, then he turned around and slammed the door shut.

"Three hundred dollars, sir, that's a great deal, sir!" The woman estimated that she rarely saw Tang Wenlong so tall and handsome, and she slapped the door a few times unrelentingly.

After a long while, I didn't see Tang Wenlong open the door, so I reluctantly walked away.

Tang Wenlong leaned against the door, his legs had no strength, and his little heart was still pounding. In all fairness, the woman's heavy makeup just now, the sultry perfume smell and the graceful posture are indeed a bit beautiful, where did Tang Wenlong receive this kind of stimulation, his head almost exploded. At this moment, there are words in his mouth: "Your sister's evil beauty emperor, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, heart is like ice heart, the sky is not shocked"

After a while, someone knocked on the door, this time Tang Wenlong was obedient and waited for a while. Tang Wenlong let out a sigh of inquiry when the doorkeeper came from the waiter, and then opened the door. "Thank you!" Tang Wenlong politely took over the dinner, a rather generous turkey set. Then he gave a one-dollar tip, as Joe Thomas had told.

Tang Wenlong took the plate and walked to the table by the window to enjoy it.

While he was eating a delicious dinner, he couldn't feel the delicacy at all, and after turning it into his mouth, it turned into bitterness. Tang Wenlong looked up at the sky in the distance, dotted with stars, like the silhouette and smiling face of a loved one
