new lord of the rings

Chapter 55

Zhang Xin returned to the Bay Area, had a good night's rest, got up early the next morning, ran for a while, and drove away the exhaustion in his body, and went home to take a shower, feeling refreshed Driving to drink morning tea, the owner of the teahouse heard that Zhang Xin was coming, so he hurried to the teahouse to chat with Zhang Xin for a while, but he didn't dare to bother, and left after a while.

Zhang Xin was eating Cantonese style breakfast leisurely:

Pink and juicy steamed pork ribs;
Beef ribs poured with black pepper soup;

A quicksand bag with bright yellow filling will flow out when you take a bite;
A plate of clear water rape, a small bowl of porridge sprinkled with shredded ginger;
Boil the water by yourself, gurgling and steaming, pour boiling water on the teapot and cup, rinse it carefully, break off a small piece of aged Pu'er, soak it in hot water, and use the tea lid to remove the floating tea dregs , After the first batch of water was removed, the boiling water was poured on the tea leaves in circles.

Pu’er is excellent and fast, so I quickly poured the tea into the cups without waiting for more brewing. In the first round, a Guan Gong toured the city, and the three tea cups were only filled to 6 points. Then pour it into the tea cups and make sure that the tea concentration in the three cups is balanced.

The fragrance of tea filled the air, and the white mist rose.

Zhang Xin slightly opened the window facing the bay, and brought the wet and cold sea breeze into the room, which shocked people. With the hot tea, Zhang Xin took a deep breath, mixed with the aroma of tea, ginger, pork ribs, and black. The strong smell of pepper and the smell of sea water brought by the sea breeze loosen the tense body after many days of running.

Zhang Xin took out a book and studied it carefully with Pu'er.

This teahouse was originally opened by a Guangzhou native owner. In Guangzhou’s teahouse, you order a pot of tea and a few refreshments, and chat with you all the time, but no one comes over to give you a face, and doesn’t drive the guests away.

Zhang Xin was drinking strong tea, reclining on the Ming-style official hat chair, reading a book comfortably, and occasionally looked up at the bay.

After a while, Taylor came. Taylor greeted Zhang Xin with a smile, and looked around curiously at this tea house with Chinese characteristics:
The interior of the teahouse is inlaid with red wood such as carved cloud patterns and phoenix patterns, which is quite elegant;
The extremely open tables will be separated by hollow screens, which not only give you the feeling of your own space, but also allow you to see the same people who come to relax through the hollows, so you won’t feel lonely;
The tables and chairs are all Ming-style furniture, and the lacquer is round and bright, which is antique and not old;

A wave of dignified and elegant Chinese flavor rushed over. Taylor Swift probably had never been to a Chinese teahouse, so it was quite fresh.

Zhang Xin raised his hand to greet the waiter, removed the leftovers, ordered some refreshments for Taylor, and brewed a pot of new tea for Taylor. Taylor took a sip, his teeth and cheeks were filled with fluid, and the thirst he had just woken up in the morning disappeared without a trace. The warm tea passed through the esophagus and entered the stomach, making my whole body warm and comfortable.

The two chatted softly, expressing their lovesickness, the sea breeze, the fragrance of tea, and the sweetness of the tea, all of which made them feel good.

Taylor Swift came to the Bay Area two days ago, waiting for Zhang Xin to come back. Originally, she thought that Zhang Xin would not come back until the day after tomorrow, but she didn't expect that there would be a holiday to come back earlier. Taylor was very happy.

The two lingered, indulging in this leisurely environment. Zhang Xin read a book, Taylor Swift sipped tea, and occasionally hummed a tune. It seemed that the novel and exotic style inspired her. After ordering a few dishes of refreshments and Chinese food, I went back to rest.

Before going back, I went to the hotel where Taylor was staying to get Taylor’s belongings, and packed them in a big box. As an artist who needs to travel around, Taylor’s belongings are not too many, mainly for changing clothes, makeup and maintenance. s things.

Starting today, they will live together. People say that falling in love is easy but living together is not easy. I hope this is a good beginning and a happy ending. Zhang Xin encouraged himself.

Although it is a vacation, Zhang Xin still cares about the team's situation. During the game in the evening, Zhang Xin first chatted with his teammates. The teammates were envious of Zhang Xin's rotation. pressure.

The all-powerful Big Three dissipated, leaving a mess. These two seasons were under reconstruction. The team traded coach Doc Rivers to the Clippers, new coach Brad Stevens took office, and Long A few days ago, he also returned from injury, but he did not redeem the fact that the Celtics have a bad record this season. Now they are ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference. Facing so many changes, this season will rush to the playoffs The game is very difficult, and coach Brad Stevens also wants to take advantage of this season to integrate the team and focus on training.

Facing the menacing Warriors, the Celtics have no fear. The Boston Celtics have been strong since the establishment of the team. Even when they were sinking, they were not afraid of anyone. A warrior who is on the right track, but still has a tenacious spirit.

Curry, who had rested for a few days, was full of energy. With Zhang Xin taking a break, he concentrated the ball a little bit. Today, Curry played a jaw-droppingly great performance:
三分20中12，两分6中3，三节拿下52分10助攻5篮板4抢断！

Zhang Xin saw Curry in the previous Warriors 73-win season:

Hit the transition, chase the body for a super long three-pointer, and hit a 30-foot shot!
With the help of Bogut's pick-and-roll, facing Olynik directly hit a three-pointer;

Facing Rondo's defense, a few dribbles behind the back, got rid of a little space, and hit a three-pointer against Rondo;

Under the defense of the defensive champion Bradley, he stepped back and hit a three-pointer;
In the elevator wall cast by Green and Bogut, easily hit the corner three-pointer;

It's still a converted chasing three-pointer, a 30-foot ultra-long three-pointer!
After the pick-and-roll, he played big and small, and after knocking Olynyk down, he hit a three-pointer calmly;

……

Zhang Xin was dumbfounded watching Curry hit 12 three-pointers like a bombardment. This is Curry!

Recently, Zhang Xin puts a lot of pressure on Curry. Although Zhang Xin has no intention of competing for the boss, Zhang Xin's 34 points in a single quarter and 64 points in three quarters still put pressure on Curry, let alone the media. When talking about the Warriors, we must talk about Zhang Xin. When interviewing Curry, he mostly asked questions about Zhang Xin. Although Curry has a broad mind, it does not prevent him from wanting to show that he is still the leader of the Warriors and that he is still the core of the Warriors.

After a few days of rest, Curry is full of energy. It is understandable whether the Celtics can withstand the impact of the Warriors, so they played a great performance.

In an interview after the game, Curry joked:

"It's Zhang who inspired me. Zhang Xin's performance these days is so explosive that I can't help but want to see my limit... Oh, no, it's not that I don't mean to be a little bit. I don't care who is the boss, Zhang He respects me a lot, I respect him a lot, he and I are brothers, we have the same goals."

"Zhang Xin is very important to us. A warrior with Zhang Xin is a complete warrior and the most powerful warrior. If possible, I hope we can play together for a long time, and win a lot. Champion, we all love him."

Thompson said in an interview: "Who do you think is the most popular in the team? There is no doubt that it is Zhang Xin. We all like him very much... The reason is that although Zhang is very powerful, he is very humble and low-key. He often invites Let’s eat, haha, Chinese food is very delicious, especially the kind that Zhang invites us to eat, if it’s not that we can’t eat these often, I will definitely eat it every day, and I will go to China with Zhang Xin during the offseason. He, let him invite me to eat the most famous dish in China."

"So you're going to China during the offseason?"

"I have to go. If Zhang doesn't want to, I will secretly run over to find him. Anyway, I am not the only one who wants to go, and I also want to go, Stephen, Andre, not only we are going, Stephen said that he will also bring his wife Anyway, Zhang Xin’s family is rich, and they can’t eat poorly. How do you say this in Chinese... Ah, yes, eat a big family, that’s what Zhang said. Haha”

The reporters stared at Thompson, who was usually taciturn, dumbfounded. When he talked about Zhang Xin, he seemed like a chatterbox. It seemed that Zhang Xin was really popular in the team.

Zhang Xin looked at Curry and Thompson talking about him with a smile, and felt warm in his heart. He not only gained his dream, but also gained a lot of brothers!
