From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 148 "I Want It All"

Jiang Hu has been busy all night in order to compare BT coins. He sold all BT coins at 8:4 am on Christmas Eve. Seeing more than [-] million US dollars lying quietly in his account, Jiang Hu is willing to go back to the bedroom to sleep in peace.

Since crossing over, Jianghu's work and rest time has always been very regular, and he rarely stays up late.

The rare stay up late made Jiang Hu feel exhausted, but sleeping in a state of exhaustion made Jiang Hu feel extremely comfortable.

He turned off his cell phone and computer, put an end to anyone's interruptions, and fell into a deep sleep.

Under such circumstances, he even had a dream.

In the dream, he earned a lot of money, probably tens of billions of dollars. Not only is he the richest player, but even among all the people related to the NBA, his worth is also at the forefront.

He also won multiple championships and MVPs. On the way to gain honors, he defeated James, Curry, Durant, Antetokounmpo, Jokic, and many other superstars, making himself the greatest player in history At the same time, he became the greatest sports player in Chinese history without any suspense.

After getting a lot of money and honors, Jianghu doesn't aspire to just appear on the basketball court with the body of a player, he wants to be the owner of a team.

But in the NBA, this kind of thinking is not allowed.

So he bought out his NBA contract, announced his withdrawal from the NBA, and had a protracted confrontation with Silver.

Just when he was trying to figure out how to gain an advantage in Xiao Hua's confrontation, he was woken up by the phone at the bedside.

"Damn it, the phone is turned off, and I forgot to unplug the phone line at home."

Jianghu, who was still complaining in a daze, still got through the phone, and then said impatiently to the phone:
"Hi, hello, who is it?"

"It's me, I'm Danny, where are you, Jiang!!"

Danny Angie's anxious voice came from the phone.

"I'm going to ask you to come to my house for Christmas, but you can't get through on the phone. If I didn't see you tweeting, I thought something happened to you!!"

Only then did Jianghu wake up a little bit, and saw that the time was already 4 pm, and he had already slept for 8 hours.

"No, Danny, I don't have the habit of celebrating Christmas. I prefer to sleep than Christmas Eve!!"

Jianghu's rejection did not dampen Anji's enthusiasm, so he still said excitedly:
"There are a lot of young people in our family, and it happens that there is a team game in the evening. Let's have an early meal together, and then we will go to the arena together. After the game, you can play games together!!"

"No, no, next time!!"

Seeing that Jianghu is really not interested in these things, Anji is no longer reluctant.

"Well, young man, I wish you a happy new year in advance."

"Happy New Year!!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Hu turned on the phone again.

There are countless missed calls and text messages on the mobile phone, most of which are text messages of holiday blessings, and the callers are also relatively close teammates and friends.

For those text messages, Jiang Hu was too lazy to reply.

Jianghu also rejected all the invitations on the phone, he didn't like to join in the fun.

He only knew one of them, and it was tiring to be with a bunch of people he didn't know, and then pretend to be happy.

After hanging up the phone, he thought about it, and finally called the two Filipino servants at home.

He and his maid drove to a forest in a nearby suburb and cut down a fishbone pine tree nearly 3 meters high to use as a Christmas tree.

The Christmas tree is hung with colorful lights and various small gift boxes as decorations. When night falls, the lights are on, which can also be called beautiful.

In the evening, Jiang Hu sat in the living room with two servants, and watched the classic Chinese New Year movie "Home Alone" together.

Everyone had a good laugh, especially the manservant, who had a really good laugh when TLP came out in the movie.

"I've seen this movie in the Philippines, and I didn't expect this guy to become the president now!!"

"Hahaha, it's really interesting!!"

Jianghu also laughed. He watched this movie when he was a child, and he didn't think it was too funny. On the contrary, he revisited the classic now and discovered the easter egg of Te Trump, and he felt quite happy.

The next day was Christmas, and Jianghu asked two servants to bring his family to Jianghu's house, and they had a lively and symbolic celebration together.

The two servants were flattered and expressed their inappropriateness one after another. They had no choice but to do so until Jianghu pulled their faces down.

The maid's wife and two children are in Boston. The older boy is 15 years old and the younger girl is 6 years old. The maid is only in Boston with her husband, and her two sons are still in the Philippines.

On this day, the NBA has arranged 5 Christmas games.

From 1 pm to 10 pm, NBA games will accompany everyone to spend Christmas together.

The first game was the Knicks game against the 76ers at home.

As the team with the highest market value in the United States, the Knicks have won only 2 championships, but participated in the Christmas game 50 times, which feels amazing.

For the Knicks game, Jianghu didn't pay attention to it, but played Texas Hold'em with the manservant, the man's son, and the maid's husband.

It's a small game, mostly for fun.

After the Celtics game, everyone stopped and watched the game together.

Today the Celtics' opponent is the Wizards led by Wall and Bill.

The Celtics beat the Bulls yesterday, and today they lost back-to-back games.

The Celtics, who have lost the rivers and lakes, have much less offensive methods and changes. The Wizards double-teamed Irving all the time, and finally won the game easily 111-103.

欧文全场18投7中，砍下20分2篮板6助攻同时送出6次失误。

凯尔特人表现最好的球员是替补登场的罗齐尔，11投8中，三分球2中2，罚球5中5得到23分5篮板6助攻。

奇才这场，比尔25投10中得到25分8篮板2助攻。

沃尔19投8中，拿到21分5篮板14助攻，是奇才能获得胜利的主要功臣。

Otto Porter, who looks exactly like Chamberlain, also performed efficiently with 11 of 8 and scored 22 points.

In addition, this game is also a direct duel between the Morris brothers.

今天的对决里，效力奇才队的哥哥马基夫·莫里斯7投5中拿到14分7篮板3助攻比弟弟的马库斯·莫里斯7投1中，2分4篮板的表现要好的多。

In addition, during the game, when the Celtics were in a predicament, the commentators repeated the names of Jianghu over and over again.

Owen was double-teamed and made a mistake:
"Unfortunately, Owen's height and wingspan determine that his upper limit is far inferior to that of Jiang. If the ball is double-teamed by Jiang, he can 100% pass it to Brown in the bottom corner."

Irving missed a key jumper: "He shouldn't have shot from this position. If Jiang played this round, he would try to break through first. Even if he couldn't break through, he would choose to shoot from a position closer to the basket."

Explaining the crazy cue Jianghu made the TV's inexplicable feel a little embarrassed.

It was the first time for him to watch the team's game in front of the TV, and it was also the first time for him to see the commentator praising himself like this, and he felt very uncomfortable.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, everyone gathered together to watch the NBA's ultimate Christmas dinner - Cavaliers vs. Warriors.

乐福在这个夜晚状态回升，25投9中，三分球11中6，罚球7中7拿到了31分18篮板的大号两双。

On the contrary, James fell into confusion, his own state was average, and he was at a loss for the Warriors' defense. He made 18 of 7 shots, scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and sent a game-high 7 turnovers.

The Warriors are missing Curry this time, but the combat effectiveness of Durant, Green and Thompson should not be underestimated.

最近这段时间的杜兰特也是开始将自己的重心放在了防守端，本比赛也是拿到了25分7篮板3助攻2抢断5封盖的出色表现。

此外汤普森15中8拿到25分，格林巅峰仍在砍下了12分12篮板11助攻的全能数据。

Even without Curry, the Warriors maintained their lead throughout the game and finally won the game 99-92.

After the game between the Warriors and the Cavaliers, six of them had a meal around the table. The Filipino maid was very good at cooking and cooked a large table of her hometown dishes.

Except the Christmas turkey which is essential for Christmas.

The rest are roast suckling pig, Filipino special spring rolls, Filipino potato stew, stir-fried minced pork, and various skewers.

In fact, for most Asians, Filipino dishes are actually quite unfamiliar, but the eating habits of Filipinos in East Asia are similar to those of Chinese people. Most of the time, rice is the staple food, and the common ingredients are beef, pork and fish. The condiments are mainly It is salt, soy sauce, tomato sauce, oyster, sauce, caviar, chili, pepper, etc., and the cooking methods are mostly roasted, fried and stewed.

As for whether you like the taste or not, it really varies from person to person. At least the taste of Filipino food is acceptable. Although it is not as layered as Chinese food, it is delicious.

"Come on, cheers, Merry Christmas!!"

Halfway through the dinner, Jianghu poured himself a glass of wine and toasted everyone.

The people who were toasted were flattered one by one, they all stood up to toast, and then drank it happily.

Although the people present are from different countries and have different social status, at this moment, everyone's identity is the same, they are all foreigners who are guests in a foreign land.

Jianghu didn't have as much money as their own, and at the same time they were their customers, so they felt that they were superior to others.

In addition to providing everyone with high-end red wine and champagne that they had never tasted before, after dinner, he also wore a Christmas hat with everyone and sang joyful Christmas songs.

Wait until the sound of midnight comes to 12 o'clock sharp.According to Chinese customs, Jianghu gave everyone a red envelope.

However, this red envelope is not packed in a traditional paper red envelope, but in a red sock dedicated to Christmas.

The money is not much, 800 US dollars per person, and the total is only 4000 US dollars, which is just a meal for Jianghu.

The main thing is to show the excitement and the ritual sense of the festival.

Everyone happily accepted the money, thanked Jiang Hu frantically, and left reluctantly.

After sending everyone away, Jiang Hu spent his first Christmas in America like this.

................................................

On December 12, Jianghu accepted the assessment and monitoring of the league:
The doctor sent by the league was stunned again.

Although he was not present on the day when Jianghu was injured, when he reviewed the game video, he still remembered that Jianghu bled a lot at that time, and there were obvious wounds on the skin of Jianghu's brow bone.

Only four days later, all the wounds in Jianghu recovered as before, and there was not even a trace of scar in the injured place.

Moreover, the results of the evaluation showed that Jianghu's physical condition is very healthy, and there is no concussion phenomenon. His physical condition has been evaluated, and there is no discomfort in any place, and he is completely ready to play in the next game.

On December 12, Jianghu was approved to return to the team and was allowed to practice 26v5 with his teammates.

On the same day, the news that Jianghu could come back through the concussion test quickly occupied the headlines of the major sports media.

Seeing the news that the selection of All-Stars has started, Jiang Hu instantly felt excited again.

Jianghu opened his twitter and ins, and posted a "I want it all" emoticon package of Stephen Chow's classic movie.

"All-star starter + captain, I want them all. Brothers and sisters, I am responsible for the performance, and I will leave the rest to you!!"
