From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 116 The Fleeting November
After defeating the Suns, the Celtics' record came to 16 wins and 3 losses.

Despite the impressive record, the entire Celtics are showing a state of getting tired.

Their schedule is a bit too tight. From October 10 to November 18, there are only 11 days, but there are 21 games, and they also include a bunch of away games.

To be able to achieve such a result, almost everyone in the entire team tightened their strings.

From November 11 to November 22, the Celtics did not play for five full days, and the coaching staff also generously gave all players four days off.

The length of this holiday is almost as long as the All-Stars in February every year.

Smart, Brown, and Caruso Garrozier formed a group of four, and each took their girlfriends to a beach vacation in Miami.

Irving didn't bother to go anywhere to recover from his injuries. Horford stayed at home with his wife and played games with Hayward casually.

Morris Jr., Baines and Tays went to Las Vegas to experience the thrill of stud at the gaming table.

Jianghu rejected everyone's invitation.

The first thing he did was to test his driver's license.

It has been almost half a year since I came to the United States. I have been busy with training and competitions, and I have long forgotten my driver's license.

He has been driving without a license for half a year, and was stopped by the police on the way to the game last time and questioned. If the two traffic policemen were not die-hard fans of the Celtics, what would have happened? The results are hard to tell.

Jianghu asked the team's assistant coach about the preparations for the driver's license test. Only then did he know that applying for a driver's license in the United States is very complicated. You need to prepare a lot of materials, fill out the application form online, and bring your passport and house purchase contract. Need to wait for a long time, too troublesome.

He originally prepared two days to take the driver's license test, but Yao Ming found out about it and asked his friend at the US embassy to get it all done in just three hours.

It has to be said that Dayao, the chairman of the Basketball Association, is quite in place, without any bureaucratic atmosphere, and he is as enthusiastic as he was when he was an athlete. He does not forget his original intention and still truly loves basketball.

Regarding Jianghu, he has done almost everything he can do, helping to contact his agent, preventing him from participating in Asian-level competitions, and even talking about the driver's license test inadvertently, he has to take it to heart and help negotiate.

This kind of heartfelt love for the younger generation moved Jianghu very much.

Jianghu also vowed silently in his heart that he must lead the national team to achieve good results in the 19 World Cup, help the national team enter Tokyo, and in the game against Poland, he must explode with all his strength, trying not to give Zhou Qi a chance to throw a sideline kick, and directly Accept the game.

On November 11, Jianghu received half of the $23 million sneaker contract signed with Nike.

He evenly divided the more than 5000 million US dollars after deducting the broker's share and tax into two parts. One part bought Bitcoin at an average price of 8000 US dollars, and the other part bought Zhaoyi Innovation with an average price of 37 yuan.

These two plate rivers and lakes will do a fast-in and fast-out right-hand transaction. By the end of December, he will withdraw all of them and wait for better business opportunities with short positions.

After finishing these things, Jiang Hu flew to the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

Because when he was in Philadelphia, he had made an appointment with Sophia to watch her graduation drama. Jianghu is not a person who likes to miss appointments, let alone the other party is a beautiful woman.

During this period of time, the two have kept in touch. After the game, Jianghu will take time to reply to Sophia's text messages. Although they didn't pierce the window paper, they can feel each other's heart.

Jianghu rented a luxury sports car in Los Angeles, and casually prepared a suitable outfit for himself.

The clothing brand he endorses is Armani, so he tries to choose Armani clothing as much as possible.

Jianghu's body is very well maintained, his tendons are even but not bloated, his shoulders are broad, and his waist has no fat. He is born to be a clothes hanger.

He chose a chic high-necked pure black windbreaker, matched it with a white shirt with a suitable fit, put on a pair of retro sunglasses, and put on a silver ring on his hand. He also specially imitated Owen's makeup to look like Uncle Drew, Put on a mustache for yourself.

After some dressing up, Jianghu's style has undergone a huge change. Standing in front of the mirror with a blank face is like a villain killer in a classic American movie.

Driving on the sycamore road of the University of Southern California, the rivers and lakes can also harvest crazy wonders from passers-by.

"I like this dude's style, cool~"

"Killer 47 is still a royal agent, so handsome buddy."

"Don't you think he looks a bit like Jiang?"

"No, no, you must have read it wrong, Jiang has no beard..."

Hearing everyone's praises, Jianghu felt a little bit ecstatic...

"Oh, my damn charm that has nowhere to rest..."

Come to the gate of the University of Southern California Chapel Opera House, park the car, the rivers and lakes
Seeing Sophia looking around on tiptoe, she stood at the door expectantly to welcome her.

"Here, here, Jiang."

"Oh, dear Miss Sophia, you are so beautiful today."

Jiang Hu got out of the car, strode towards Sophia, and at the same time praised loudly with a smile on his face.

Sophie is wearing a mid-century women's long dress today, which should be a costume for a performance. Compared with the sportswear when we met last time, it is not too curvy, but it wraps Sophia's tall and plump figure in it, which is more mysterious feel.

The golden-brown big waves have been permed into the cute retro curly hair of the middle ages. The makeup is delicate and elegant, and she looks like an ignorant girl.

Sophia couldn't help but twist her body when she heard Jianghu's straightforward praise, feeling inexplicably shy.

This is different from her usual way of being generous and eloquent in the world.

The image is very different.

On the contrary, it has a different kind of charm.

"Mr. Jiang, are you sincere?"

Sophia blinked her big eyes and pretended to be ignorant, and asked Bao Er.

"Of course, I never lie, Miss Sophia." Jiang Hu replied naturally with a smile.

"Haha, come on, I don't believe your nonsense. But your outfit today is also very handsome."

Jianghu's style today is a bit of a tough guy style, so similar to her father, so she can't take her eyes off Jianghu.

Jianghu was able to come for the appointment, Sophia was actually both disturbed and a little shy in her heart, but she still forced herself to calm down, and on the surface she returned to her natural and generous appearance, and asked softly:

"How is it? How long have you been flying? Was the journey hard?"

"It's okay, about five hours." Jiang Hu said casually.

Then he deliberately stared at Sophia's face, teasingly said: "Hey, why is your face so red? Have you been drinking? Or did you see me nervous?"

"Is there? How is it possible?"

Sophia hurriedly took out her mobile phone, turned on the front camera, and looked at herself carefully.

The face is beautiful, the makeup is perfect, and the complexion is normal.

Everything is normal, she was cheated...

"It's over, I'm guilty of being a thief."

Thinking of this, Sophia really blushed, and then looked at the Jianghu opposite, her eyes were fixed on herself, with a gratified smile on her face.

Immediately, his teeth itched with hatred.
"I promised never to lie, liar."

Sophia pretended to be angry and walked in.

"It's not a lie, it's a love lie, I only say this to the ladies I like, I promise to God!"

Jiang Hu followed up and said with a shy face.

While talking, she naturally held Sophia's hand, Sophia struggled slightly, and then stopped resisting.

Instead, let the rivers and lakes be led like this.

Jianghu felt Sophia's soft and boneless catkin in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous, as if he had returned to his first love...

"Let's go, it will start soon..." Jiang Hu said softly.

After struggling politely for a few times, Sophia simply didn't bother to struggle and let him go.

The two entered the theater holding hands, and then left the rivers and lakes to sit down in the first row, while Sophia blushed and ran quickly to the backstage.

"Phew. Phew."

After running quickly to the door, Sophia stroked her chest with her right hand continuously, and stood there for a long time before calming down her beating heart and disordered breathing.

Different from Jianghu, Sophia has always been under the protection of her father and has never been in a relationship. Many boys have pursued him, but they were all repelled by her initial coldness.

Even if there were one or two who persisted, Sophia didn't feel much about them. Jianghu was the only one who had an intimacy with Sophia when they met for the first time, and Sophia didn't know why.

She is usually closest to her two younger sisters, and her best friends at school are basically girls. At the age of 19, she has never even tried kissing.

"I don't know, what's it like to kiss him?"

Thinking about it, Sophia's cheeks were flushed, and even her legs and feet became weak.

The drama performance began soon, and it was the first time for Jianghu to watch this long-known and world-famous drama masterpiece "Hamlet" live.

There are not many open seats in the theater, and there are about two to three hundred people present, sitting around the main stage.

With the dark auditorium and the soft and bright stage, the environment makes people quickly integrate into the play.

The performers are all students of the Broadcasting Department and Acting Department of the University of Southern California. They are all 18 or 9 years old. difference from the vernacular.

None of them wore earphones, but every line was clearly heard, and there was no need to distinguish each sentence carefully.

Compared with actors of the same age in China, their acting skills are definitely much better. After all, the place they will compete in the future is Hollywood, not the Chinese film industry where bad movies are flying all over the place.

The rivers and lakes are also integrated into it, savoring this Shakespeare classic handed down carefully.

Sophia played the role of Ophelia, the heroine in the play, and soon appeared on the stage, wearing familiar clothes in Jianghu, but her movements and expressions did not show Sophia's feeling at all.

As the plot unfolded, it was discovered that Ophelia is definitely a character whose life is full of tragedy.

In the play, she falls in love with the hero Hamlet and loves each other, but Hamlet's identity is a prince, but she is just a daughter of an ordinary family. Get in touch with Hamlet.

But he was instigated by his father and elder brother, and always appeared by Hamrem's side at critical moments to stop his revenge plan.

Various reasons lead to the inability of the two lovers to combine. Forced to do nothing, Hamlet has no choice but to regard her as part of his revenge plan, and even accidentally kills her father.

Knowing that she was treated as a pawn by both sides, she was hit hard, which eventually led to her insanity, and finally fell into the water and died.

Ophelia and Sophia are two completely different types in character, one has no assertiveness and is submissive, and the other is generous and elegant.

If Sophia's character is like Ophelia in the play, Jianghu can guarantee that he will never look at her more.

"To be, or not to be, that is the question, which is more noble...

"I tried hard to face myself, to face reality, and I knew I had to learn to bear it"

"I felt lost and terrified, and I felt the pain of the wound."

The actor playing Hamlet is very characteristic in acting, the hoarse voice and slightly painful expression make people enter the play.

With the gradual deepening of the plot, scenes of drama unfolded. In the end, Hamlet forced the king to drink poisoned wine in the duel. He succeeded in revenge, but he was also imprisoned.

After watching the whole drama immersively, Jianghu is both satisfied and disappointed. What is satisfied is that Hamrem's revenge succeeded, and what is disappointed is that his way of revenge seems so stupid.

Jianghu felt that Hamlet was too stupid. He chose to fight alone even though there were so many people around him who could take advantage of him.

Among the many ways of revenge, he chose the stupidest one, Ophelia, who clearly loved him, but was ruthlessly abandoned by him.

After the end, when the lights were turned on, Jianghu realized that Sophia was sitting next to him, with his chin in his hands and his knees, looking at him with big eyes, with a slight smile on his face.

"Does it look good?" Jiang Hu asked softly with a smile.

Sophia was still looking at Bao Er, seemingly thinking about something, completely unresponsive to Jianghu's question.

Jiang Hu approached the past again: "Is it good-looking?"

"what?"

The Jianghu master waved in front of Sophia, and Sophia came back to her senses.

"Is it me or the drama?"

Jianghu asked with a cheeky face.

Sophia seemed to be overwhelmed by this problem, she blinked her eyes wide and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Okay, I know the answer, let's go, I'll take you to dinner, and watch it slowly after eating."

Jianghu didn't give her time to react, took her hand, and ran away from the opera house.

"Look over there, it's Sophia, oh, big news, she seems to be in a relationship."

"Oh, that guy is super handsome and has a great figure."

"I don't know if Sophia's father knows?"

"Damn it, Jiang, her boyfriend looks like Jiang."

"Which Jiang, the one from the Celtics?"

"Fuck!!"

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, the two ran wildly until they closed the car door with a "bang" and sat in the car. They looked at each other before calming down.

"Why are we running?"

Sophia stared at her big beautiful eyes and asked curiously.

"I don't know, I've seen it played like this on TV, it seems to be more exciting."

Jianghu spread his hands and said seriously.

"Hahahahaha...you are enough, Jiang."

Sophia laughed without hesitation.

She changed back to her daily casual clothes. She was wearing a black tight dress with black stockings and high heels.

Sophia laughed for a while, saw that Jianghu was still, stopped, and found that Jianghu was staring at her again, and suddenly didn't know what to do.

I had to cough lightly to remind Jiang Hu.

"Let's go eat, how about the French food, let's walk around together after eating, and take me around Los Angeles."

Jiang Hu looked away calmly, and said as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, okay, I haven't gone shopping for a long time."

Sophia was inexplicably surprised, with a hopeful smile on her face.

"Set off."

The two went to a famous French restaurant in Los Angeles together, and ordered some foie gras, French baked escargots and red wine. Jianghu didn't drink when he had to drive, and ordered drinks instead.

The two chatted while eating and drinking, chatting about Shakespeare and Hamlet for a long time, and finally talking about basketball for a long time

When Sophia talked freely in the arena, she always liked to rest her chin with her hands, and looked at him quietly, her eyes were soft and blurred, as if she was looking at a certain hero.

From time to time, he nods in affirmation, occasionally expresses his own opinions, and seriously expresses his admiration for Jianghu.

The world has fallen for Sophia, and what he can't stand the most when he is a human being in two lives is the adoring look when the girl looks at him.

He enjoyed this kind of gaze very much, which would make a man's sense of conquest burst.

The two ate, drank and chatted from 6:9, and before they knew it, it was [-] o'clock in the evening.

The meal for the two of them only cost US$558, but they enjoyed it very much.

After starting the car, the two of them drove slowly along the west coast of Los Angeles on the streets of Santa Monica, chatting quietly while driving. In Los Angeles, where there is no traffic jam at night, the traffic is still very smooth.

Strolling to the beach, the two held hands, took off their shoes and walked on the beach, listening to the waves lapping on the beach and feeling the sea breeze in Los Angeles in November.

On the hazy beach, the two kissed and embraced naturally.

The two had close contact, Jianghu could feel her youthfulness and the hotness hidden in her heart
"Don't go back tonight?"

Jianghu asked softly next to Sophia's ear.

Under the moonlight, Sophia's entire face turned into a sunset glow, and she stammered, "Okay."

The sound is as small as the buzzing of mosquitoes.

Under the hazy moonlight, Sophia was standing there in a black dress, with a beautiful face, a smile at the corner of her mouth, and a full chest rising and falling.

At this moment, there were still some sounds of waves that disappeared. At this moment, Sophia seemed to be the focus of the whole world, the only light on the entire beach.

After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Hu took Sophia's hand and trotted back to the car.

The atmosphere has already been enhanced here, if something doesn't happen this night, it will definitely be difficult.

When they came to the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, the two lingered on each other, and went straight to the room from the elevator in the underground garage.

The rivers and lakes are taking a bath...

"Jiang, come here."

Sophia's voice came from the bedroom.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Hu who heard the shout hurried to the door of the room.

"You come in." Jiang Hu turned open the door and saw Sophia was wearing a black dress, standing on the floor with bare feet, and she added another makeup. It was obvious that she was not the most beautiful when the performance just ended .

Even though I have seen it many times at night, when I see it again at this time, I still feel that she is a princess who came out of a fairy tale.

Especially at this time, the crystal chandelier above her head was turned on, covering her whole body with a layer of holy radiance.

Jiang Hu walked over slowly, Sophia grabbed Jiang Hu's collar very boldly, Jiang Hu threw himself on Sophia without being on guard.

"Ah." Sophia, who took the lead, let out another scream. She didn't expect Jiang Hu to be so heavy.

Jiang Hu was warm and warm, and because of the vibration of the bed, Sophia's body heaved and fell twice. Although he was a little dazed by Sophia's sudden movements, the amazing elastic touch of the beauty under him still made his heart feel hot. don't want to get up.

"What are you doing?"

Looking up at Sophia, her eyes met. There seemed to be stars flowing in her brown eyes, which were charming.

Jianghu put his hands on Sophia's sides and was about to get up, but Sophia hooked Meng Yu's neck with both hands, leaned into his ear and said charmingly: "You know? The way you play is the same as that of all the players I have seen. The most handsome."

Her mouth is whispering in Jiang Hu's ear
Without giving Jiang Hu a chance to refuse, the small mouth lightly tapped Jiang Hu's ears and cheeks, and bursts of numbness pierced Jiang Hu's heart, pulling all the strength out of his body, and the two propped up arms lost their strength, and the whole body People pressed down again.

"Hmm~"

Sophia let out a muffled groan, but she didn't stop her movements. Instead, she stretched out three inches more brazenly, fiddled with Jiang Hu's earlobe back and forth, stirring up the lust in Jiang Hu's heart one by one.

"Damn it, come on, I must give you a good lesson!!"

There was nothing to say all night, at 10:[-] in the morning, the warm sunlight shone into the room, and I felt my eyelids glow red, and Jianghu woke up leisurely.

The bed was a mess, the milky white quilt was messy and crumpled, and one corner was still hanging on the floor.

Sophia was resting on Jianghu's hand, and her hand was resting on Jianghu's chest weakly. With two white and smooth jade legs, one was on Jianghu's body, and the other was exposed outside the quilt.

A sexy black dress, broken black stockings scattered randomly on the ground, two black high-heeled shoes, one standing on the sofa, and the other lying quietly beside the bed.

On the white sofa there is still a little bit of bright red, like plum blossoms in the snow, embellishing everything.

When Jiang Hu woke up, he could still see Sophia resting on his arm. Although her eyes were closed, she still had a faint smile on her face.

Jianghu approached gently and kissed Sophia's forehead.Gently and softly, he pulled his numb hand out from under Sophia's head, carefully, for fear of pulling her hair and waking her up.

She is too tired, let her rest for a while.

Sophia didn't wake up until noon. When she got up, she saw Jiang Hu had just crawled out of the swimming pool on the roof. Sophia was like a clingy kitten, crawling into Jiang Hu's arms. shelf……

After spending two days in Los Angeles, Jiang Hu returned to Boston.

On November 11, the entire Boston Celtics team went to Orlando.

The Celtics, who rested for 5 days, played a sleepwalking performance against the Magic. The team made 97 of 32 shots, 71 of 29 two-pointers, and 26 of 3 three-pointers. Most inefficient game of the season.

The team played such a terrifying shooting percentage, they were not expected to lose 89 to 116 to the magic team at the bottom of the league.

江湖的表现也很一般，17投7中，拿到17分8篮板10助攻的同时，送出了个人赛季最高的5次失误。

This game has brought a lot of black fans to the arena. The league's top team played against the league's bottom team. It should have been a big victory, but in the end it was an ugly defeat.

There is nothing the world can do about it. During the nearly 7-month regular season, you must be relaxed, because you cannot win all the games. The game that should be lost is lost.

On November 11, the Celtics played against the Pistons at home. The Celtics, who had a disastrous defeat in the last game, took all their anger on the Pistons in this very immoral game.

江湖全场20投15中，砍下了39分8篮板7助攻，布朗16投10中，砍下了29分5篮板6助攻，斯玛特三分球开挂一般的神准，投出6投6中的100%命中率，砍下了22分3篮板6助攻。

The trio scored 90 points and 19 assists, leading the Celtics to a 132-95 victory over the incoming Detroit Pistons.

On November 11, the Celtics continued to host the 30ers at home.

Jianghu did his best on the defensive end throughout the game, scoring 15 points and a career-high 18 rebounds and sending out 10 assists and 4 blocks.

在他的主防下西蒙斯6投0中，拿到1分6篮板6助攻，还频繁参与包夹恩比德，迫使恩比德出现了5次失误。

The Celtics beat the 100ers 92-76 at home.

In the last quarter of the game, a small incident happened. JJ Redick accidentally stepped on Jianghu's foot while shooting, sprained his ankle at 75 degrees, and left the field injured.
