Chapter 009 America, here I come (collection, scattering flowers) "Qingyu, I will go to the United States tomorrow. It will be the Chinese Valentine's Day in a while, and it is also my birthday. You know, I don't have anything to give you, 999
I can't afford a rose, but I can afford it." Liang Xiao took out a handful of flowers from behind, but they were not real flowers.
Mu Qingyu looked at the handful of flowers and couldn't help but shed tears. "Idiot," she held the flowers in one hand and kept beating Liang Xiao's chest with the other.
"This is a rose that I spent two weeks folding. Although I was a bit clumsy, I finally folded it out." Then he held his breath and said, "Herring, I think I am your spring, and you can be my girlfriend."
Well?"
Mu Qingyu threw herself into Liang Xiao's arms, "Idiot, yes, I do. These flowers are more beautiful than real flowers and more precious than those made of gold. Thank you."
Seeing Mu Qingyu's eyes filled with tears, Liang Xiao gently wiped the tears on her face with his thumb. The surrounding scenery froze, and the air pressure seemed to be increasing. Mu Qingyu's chest rose and fell rapidly, with the hormonal taste of love.
Permeating the surroundings. Liang Xiao leaned down and gently touched Qingyu's lips. Suddenly, as if a chemical reaction occurred, Mu Qingyu responded fiercely to Liang Xiao. The two people's tongues kept touching each other, and the sweet taste
It went straight from the tip of their tongues to their minds.
The beautiful night is as red as a rose and full of romance.
I stared blankly at the clouds passing by the window and the boundless blue ocean. A series of names came to mind, including the Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, Washington, NBA... I couldn't believe that I could go there so easily.
Arrive at the United States, a young and passionate country that leads the world. Under the farewell of family and friends, I leave the land where I have lived for many years.
Although it was early September, New York did not feel the cold breath due to the Atlantic Ocean. After more than ten hours of flight, the plane landed at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport at 6 p.m. local time. This airport is named after the former U.S. president.
The world's largest airport. Liang Xiao first set foot in New York City, which makes people all over the world cherish the American dream. This young city is full of buildings that can't be seen from the top. Here, people feel endless.
prosperity and dreams.
After leaving the airport, Bob drove an old Ford on the highway. Soon the tall buildings on both sides swallowed up the road like wild beasts. Michael Jackson's music was playing in the car, and Bob smiled at Liang and said
: "I have already contacted the team. I will take you to my house to spend the night today, and then I will take you to the club tomorrow."
"Okay, everything is arranged according to your consciousness."
New York City is on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. It is much bigger than Liang Xiao imagined. Bob's home is far away from the city center. It is a typical three-bedroom home, full of freedom. Liang Xiao only has more than two thousand dollars on him, so Bob's request
Undoubtedly, this was what Liang Xiao wanted. When he first came here, he would save whatever he could.
Bob's wife is in her forties and has a few freckles on her face. Although she cannot speak Chinese, her American openness is clearly revealed. She is very enthusiastic about Liang Xiao and specializes in purchasing ingredients that Asians like to eat from the supermarket. However, this
Enthusiasm obviously went against Liang Xiao's original intention. Liang Xiao wanted to taste an authentic American grilled steak.
Early the next morning, Bob drove an old Ford and Liang Xiao to the club. After all, it was far away from the club, and New York was also overcrowded. Although it was one of the largest cities in the world, there was no traffic jam like in China.
After a pot of porridge, we arrived at the club in two hours.
The New York Knicks are located in the heart of New York. They joined the American Basketball Association, the predecessor of the NBA, in 1946. Although the Knicks are not a super team, they are undoubtedly a team with distinctive characteristics and abundant talents.
The Hall of Basketball has contributed many famous coaches and superstars. The most well-known ones are the famous coach Parker Riley and the later Hall of Fame superstar Patrick Ewing. Although Parker Riley later left the Miami Heat, he cannot but
Acknowledging his greatness, Patrick Ewing ushered in the Ewing era of the Knicks. Together with his contemporaries Michael Jordan and Big Dream Black Ken Olajuwon, they are all symbols of the same team.
The home arena of the Knicks, Madison Square Garden, is the arena where many NBA stars dream to play. In 1997, American Cable TV Group spent US$30 million to buy 100% of the rights to the team, this arena and related real estate.
, the American Cable Television Group, with a market capitalization of US$8 billion, can be said to be not short of money. Moreover, this arena is not only used for basketball games. World-class stars like Michael Jackson sing here, so it can be said to be used for many purposes.
Standing in front of Madison Square Garden, Liang Xiao could only marvel. There is no such arena in China. Perhaps only the Bird's Nest built in Beijing later can give people such a great momentum. Playing here can be said to be really awesome.
A kind of enjoyment. Thinking of the cheers of 20,000 people, it really makes my blood boil.
Bob called Liang Xiao to the team's training venue, which was obviously much smaller. There were many players training on the court. Seeing a yellow man like Liang Xiao arriving, he was very puzzled and pointed.
Some people said they were Japanese, some said they were Korean, but none of them took this new competitor too seriously, because in the United States, except for white people, black people dominate basketball. In their view,
Whether in Japan or South Korea, these yellow people are not suitable for playing basketball. Perhaps in their eyes, Chinese people can only play small balls like table tennis.
"Hi, Doug, are you okay?" Bob saw the assistant coach holding a tactical board on the sidelines and enthusiastically went over to hug him.
"We are very busy right now. The preseason is about to start. Our manpower here is still a bit tight. You know we hope to find some good benches before the official start of the season. Hey, Asians?" Looking at Bob
Liang laughed behind him, and the assistant coach also asked questions.
"Doug, look, I found a good player for you." He turned around and called Liang Xiao forward, "Doug Jenny, Knicks assistant coach, Liang Xiao, from the beautiful and mysterious China." Bob
Introducing Liang Xiao to Doug, looking at this fat assistant coach, Liang Xiao couldn't help but think that it might depend on him whether he could establish a foothold here.
"Hello, welcome to the Knicks."
"Hello, it's an honor for me to be here!" Liang Xiao held Doug's hand, showing the modesty of the Chinese people.
"It's great that you can speak English, so that it won't be difficult to communicate. Since we are here, we will let our technical staff take a look first. I hope we can see something like Chinese Yao"
