Chapter 47 Sweetness
Fang Chuxia always said that she seemed to be on Tang Wenlong's pirate ship for no reason.

However, what is certain is that she is not disgusted by this, and there is a hint of sweetness on her face that can be clearly seen.

The greatness of love comes from the closeness of two hearts, the similarity in nature, no matter how far the distance is, no matter how long the time is, they will still find something that they cherish.

Tang Wenlong suddenly felt that he was very lucky to have entered the NBA palace of his dreams and had someone he loved.

Jiangsu Province, Xiyang City.

The urban construction of Xiyang is like a microcosm of the entire land of China—changing with each passing day.

The city's dark asphalt roads are lined with lush evergreen trees.The name of the basketball city makes this city along the Yangtze River somewhat unique, and elements of sports can be seen everywhere in this young city.

Drive into the city from far and near, and be attracted by the majestic roads and orderly high-rise buildings.When the red light stops, occasionally there will be a line of cycling teams whistling past both sides of the road.

On both sides of the road, you can often see basketball courts erected with barbed wire. It is summer, and there are always people who love basketball sweating on the plastic court.

Tang Wenlong and Fang Chuxia interlocked their fingers and sat in a taxi in Xiyang.

Tang Wenlong rolled down the car window curiously, and looked outside at the freshly erected tall buildings. After more than a year, it seemed that some memories needed to be updated.

"Look, your poster." Fang Chuxia leaned against Tang Wenlong's body and pointed to a tall building outside.
Tang Wenlong looked at it pleasingly, and it really was so.

A huge poster of Tang Wenlong hung high above a familiar tall building.Wearing Syracuse University's No. 9 jersey, grabbing the ball with one hand against a black background.

"Hey, there's still a bit of art to go." Tang Wenlong laughed, not caring that his portrait had been violated.

"Why don't we go back and have a look, it's your alma mater anyway?" Fang Chuxia said with a grin.

It turned out that Tang Wenlong's high school alma mater, Xiyang No. [-] Middle School, hung the poster.For his alma mater, he naturally takes care of him in every possible way, as long as he doesn't take Tang Wenlong's fruit photos out, basically he doesn't care.

"Forget it, high school students haven't had their holiday yet." Tang Wenlong laughed.

Tang Wenlong said: "It's strange to say that, I didn't expect our principal to use me for publicity. You know, when I was in high school, I was basically the target of the school's severe crackdown. I didn't study hard and played basketball all day long. .”

Following Tang Wenlong's example, Fang Chuxia shrugged and said, "Maybe the parents have changed their minds."

Seeing Fang Chuxia's appearance, Tang Wenlong pretended to be furious, and said dissatisfiedly, "Well, you are imitating me again!"

Seeing Tang Wenlong's funny face, Fang Chuxia covered her mouth and laughed, narrowing her beautiful eyes.

"By the way, have you learned your driver's license yet?" Tang Wenlong asked.

Fang Chuxia raised her slender neck and said proudly: "Of course, this heroine is a genius."

"Well, I don't even have a chance to learn a driver's license. I will learn a driver's license another day."

"Oh, you are so stupid, you must not learn"

Tang Wenlong: "."

After the NBA entered July, it opened the trading market. Young free agents are looking for the next team that suits their development all over the world, while older free agents are looking for a team that is suitable for their retirement. It is best to win the championship. up.

Powerful teams hold team work meetings overnight to analyze the team's shortcomings and find solutions in the trading market; rebuilding teams try to sell players who are no longer important to the team and free up suitable salary space.

In Philadelphia, in the 76ers' office, Stefanski and Collins read the team's player handbook no less than ten times. Clearly.

"Elton Brand is taking up too much of his salary, and his strength is fading day by day. I don't know how much of his skill he will have after the vacation." Collins shook his head and said.

Stefanski said helplessly: "But there is no way. No one thought that Elton would degenerate so fast. You must know that when he signed with him two years ago, he still had an average of 17+8 per game. Ability value, and he was not yet 30 years old at the time."

Collins secretly despised Stefanski in his heart, and signed an unusable veteran with a five-year 5 million maximum salary contract. He was simply drunk.

He thought for a while, and then continued: "Andre (Iguodala) has just entered the peak of his career. He is now well adjusted in all aspects. Who can match him at the small forward position? It will be more of a headache.”

Stefanski said with a smile: "That's right, Andre is like an iron man. Since entering the league in 04, he has only rested for 6 games."

"Actually, in the new season, I'm thinking about what to do with the point guard position."

"Hey, to be honest, Tang Wenlong was selected in a moment of brainstorming. Now it seems that he will conflict with our Zhu (Holiday)!"

Collins thought for a while, then pondered: "Actually, it's okay. After all, Tang's height is over there, and he can actually be a shooting guard."

"Shooting guard?" Stefanski was slightly taken aback, then smiled, and said, "The specific arrangement depends on what your coach does."

At this moment, the phone on the manager's desk rang.

Stefanski and Collins stopped talking and picked up the phone.

Collins put his hands on his head, leaned back on the chair, and sighed, slightly sad.He looked at Stefanski, and answered the voice on the phone with "um" and "yes", but his thoughts flew away.

Stefanski hung up the phone and said casually,

"Amare Stoudemire has confirmed to join New York, tsk tsk, the New Yorkers are really big, 5 million in 1 years."

Although there was disdain for New York in his tone, Collins still saw Stefanski's reluctance. You must know that Stefanski is also under the cusp at present, and the position of general manager is at risk. Catching a big fish in the market has an inestimable effect on his career continuation.

It is a pity that a few days ago, Paul Pierce, Dirk Nowitzki and other big names rejected his invitation and signed with the home team. Mill-Johnson and other powerful titans could not be taken down, and the opportunity to increase the strength of the team was missed in vain.

Now, the bully who is most likely to win has also switched to the "Big Apple City" more than 150 kilometers away, which is really depressing news.

"It's okay, at least I won the No. [-] pick this year, isn't it?" Collins comforted.

"I hope Don can play our expected value." Stefanski said with a wry smile.

Xiyang City, Tang Wenlong's home.

At the familiar dining table, Tang Bing and Yang Lan cooked a table full of dishes for their son.

"Mom, it's alright, don't make it, it's enough." 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 come back for a year, and you are so thin. 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 that the United States Can people make egg dumplings?"

Tang Bing answered, "Yes, yes, listen to your mother and it will be fine soon."

"It will be a waste if you can't eat it!" Tang Wenlong couldn't help but put a piece of fish in his mouth and taste it carefully. It was so delicious.

Tang Bing came out of the kitchen with a bowl of egg dumplings, and his voice was drawn out, imitating a servant in a costume drama, and said, "Come~~~, guest~~official!" His face didn't have the majesty of the captain in the past, but he looked like an old naughty boy who didn't grow up.

"Aiyo, aiyo, don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it!" Tang Wenlong got up and greeted him with a playful smile.

"Sit down, sit down, sit down." Tang Bing waved his hands, then pulled Tang Wenlong to sit down, and said, "Stinky boy, today you are the best, today you are the biggest."

Yang Lan took her job and sat down on the seat, gave Tang Bing a white look, and said with a smile: "Isn't that right, now that Wenlong has grown up, he will naturally be the head of the family. What do you mean by being cheap today?"

Tang Wenlong was ashamed, feeling that his parents were a little different this year when he was away.

He asked cautiously: "Dad, Mom, how many costume dramas have you watched this year, it's weird how you talk."

"Oh, what!" Yang Lan said with a smile, "I don't have time to watch costume dramas, I don't even have time to go to work."

"Yeah, when I'm not busy, I occasionally search for news about you on the Internet. It turned out to be quite difficult to find news about you. Now, especially during this time, there are so many news about you. When I go to the bureau now, who Don't you give me a thumbs up and say something about my old Tang Sheng's good son?" Tang Bing smiled triumphantly, his face full of pride.

Yang Lan spat at him and scolded with a smile: "Look, give your father to be beautiful."

Tang Wenlong's heart was filled with warmth, and he always had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

"Hey, silly boy, don't be dazed, eat quickly." Yang Lan knocked on the side of Tang Wenlong's bowl and said.

"En." Tang Wenlong nodded in response, reaching out to pick up vegetables.

Before reaching out, Tang Bing had already put a steaming egg dumpling into Tang Wenlong's bowl, smiling kindly: "Eat while it's hot."

"By the way, son, I watched the news two days ago, and it seems that you have a girlfriend?" Yang Lan asked suddenly.

Tang Wenlong was so frightened that he almost shook off his chopsticks, and then "shua", his face was a little hot, his mouth was dry, and his ears were a little red.

"Mom, the media."

"I heard that I said it myself during an interview with a host, and I don't know which beautiful high school female classmate it is." Yang Lan knew what his son was going to say when she saw his son's expression, so she took Tang Wenlong's words ahead of time. It was blocked, and the predictive ability in advance was comparable to that of top players.

"Well, Comrade Tang Wenlong, this is your fault. How can such a major issue not be reported to the organization for discussion?" Tang Bing immediately put on a straight face and made a serious criticism.

As soon as the two sang together, they led Tang Wenlong to a dead end in a few steps.

Tang Wenlong was hesitant and hesitant, no matter where he was hiding, he told his parents everything in detail.

After listening to Tang Wenlong's words, Tang Bing and Yang Lan looked at each other, and after discussing a few words quietly, Tang Bing spoke.

"Ahem, Comrade Tang Wenlong, then your personal emotional issue has been discussed in detail in the organization, and basically I think it is still in line with the contemporary concept of love."

"Oh!" Tang Wenlong couldn't see his parents' support for him, and he clenched his fists and cheered loudly.

"However, whether your little girlfriend and you are in a long-distance relationship or the farthest one, you have to figure out how to deal with it yourself. Neither your father nor I can do anything about it." Yang Lan Still a little worried.

"Mom and Dad, just put your mind at ease!" Tang Wenlong said confidently, stretched out his hands to pick up vegetables, and put a large piece of braised pork in each of Tang Bing's and Yang Lan's bowls, and flattered them all.

Yang Lan and Tang Bing shook their heads with a smile, defeated by Tang Wenlong's rascal appearance.
