From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 53 After the draft.

The news that Jianghu was selected by the Celtics with the No. [-] pick to become the second No. [-] pick in Chinese history immediately hit the headlines of major sports media.

Chinese fans reacted the fastest, and many of them have mobilized their contacts to book tickets for the first match of the Jianghu regular season.

Cattle have a better sense of smell than dogs.

Jianghu was selected in the morning in China, and the group of dedicated scalpers boarded the plane to the United States at noon...

More people don't have the time and financial ability to go to the United States to support Jianghu, but they also said that no matter which team Jianghu is in, they will regard their team as the home team.

Jianghu met Celtics president Danny Ainge who chose him against all odds.

Angie, who was born in 1959, was wearing a gray suit and a gray tie. His hair was almost half white, but he looked very energetic, especially his soul-stirring eyes. businessman.

"Hey, Jiang, we meet again!!"

Anji came over and patted Jianghu on the shoulder with a smile.

"Hehe, yes, we meet again." Jiang Hu responded lightly.

The last time the two met, they didn't even have a word to say, but when they turned around, this guy actually chose him.

Jianghu smiled on the surface, and took off the hateful green hat on his head while talking.

If Jianghu has any dissatisfaction with the Celtics, it is the green hat on his head...

The Celtics team logo is actually quite nice, and the old man smoking a pipe looks like that.

The overall color of the uniforms is also unique in the NBA and highly recognizable.

The only downside is that this color is not good for hats, especially for Chinese people.

As for the racial discrimination that Fultz is worried about, Jiang Hu doesn't care.

He can guarantee that with his physique, no one should call him a yellow-skinned monkey or something in front of him. If there is, the world will never be polite to him.

The big deal is to fight with him. Jianghu never thinks that fighting is a bad behavior in the NBA. He thinks that he likes certain stars who can fight.

Fighting sometimes means toughness.

For example, Valkyrie, Pan Dafu, Los Angeles Elbow King, and Salt Lake City Iron Elbow are all synonymous with hardliners.

It's a pity that they have all retired. If they haven't retired, Jianghu would be interested in competing with them.

"What's next, when will I go to summer league?"

Jiang Hu looked into Angie's eyes and asked with interest.

"Well, it's okay, even if you don't go."

"But my suggestion is that it's best to go there. You don't need to play too much, just play two games to feel the atmosphere of the NBA."

Anji looked at the champion Jianghu whom she had defied all opinions and chose, and was extremely satisfied, the more she watched, the more she liked it.

"How is it, are you still used to it in the United States?" Angie asked with a smile.

"It's not bad, everything is good." Jiang Hu was a little confused, why older people like to ask this question.

"What kind of house do you like? Do you like a retro old house or a new house with a strong sense of technology? When you arrive in Boston, I will arrange it for you."

Angie, who usually speaks very cold-blooded and mean, now behaves like a long-winded elder, constantly asking Jianghu how he is.

"I can do anything, the main thing is to have my own basketball court, other things don't matter." Regarding the house, Jianghu is not picky, the most important thing is to have an environment where you can train.

Although there is a system as a basic disk, more training will allow him to use the abilities given by the system more freely.

"By the way, you can think about your jersey number. The press conference will be in two days. You'd better decide it tonight."

Angie slapped his head and almost forgot the most important thing.

"I have already considered this issue, and No. 1 is my choice."

The Celtics have too many retired numbers. Jianghu originally planned to use No. 23 or 24, but these two numbers have already been retired by the Celtics.

No. 1 is a good choice, because the pursuit of Jianghu is the future NBA No. 1.

After asking these daily questions and team questions, Anji even asked Jianghu if he had a girlfriend, and inadvertently revealed in his words: His youngest daughter was born in 1996, only two years older than Jianghu.

"Yes, my girlfriend is in China." Seeing Anji's enthusiasm, Jianghu was a little overwhelmed.

He simply lied to Angie that he had a girlfriend in China.

"Really, it's a pity..."

Seeing the regret on An Ji's face, Jiang Hu expressed his apology.

Who told him that he hadn't met Anji's daughter yet, but Anji already had the attitude of wanting to marry her daughter.

"He is so active, his daughter must be very average..."

"Maybe even a little ugly."

Jiang Hu silently slandered.

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

After a brief communication with Angie, Jianghu spoke with head coach Brad Stevens on the phone.

"Hello, Jiang, welcome to the Celtic family."

Unlike Angie, Stevens' attitude towards Jianghu is very cold, and his voice sounds a little perfunctory.

"Hello, coach, I'm happy to play under you too."

Jiang Hu's response was equally flat, he said he was happy, but he didn't show the slightest bit of happiness on his face.

"You have to feel the summer league, but don't try too hard, remember: there are some players who can't get contracts in the NBA, and they will work hard for a two-way contract."

"I want to see a healthy you."

As the head coach of the team, Stevens still performed his duties and told Jianghu some precautions in the summer league.

"Okay, thank you coach."

"Other things are gone for the time being, see our team."

"See you, the team."

After finishing the phone call with head coach Stevens, Jianghu will take a day off in New York before going to Boston to report with Danny Ainge.

At 9 o'clock that night, Jianghu received a call from Yao Ming, the chairman of the Basketball Association.

Yao Ming asked Jianghu: Do you want to participate in the Asian Cup in August?

All the hints in his words, Zhou Qi and Yi Jianlian have been sent this time, in fact, even if Jiang Hu does not participate.

Jianghu heard his subtext, and told Yao Ming directly that he would participate in the World Championships and the Olympics, and would not participate in Asian-level competitions. If the Basketball Association had any doubts, he could communicate with the team. will change.

Yao Ming said that he can understand Jiang Hu's thoughts.

He was often injured because he played too many games.

At that time, he was coerced by the Basketball Association, not only to play in the Asian Cup, but even to play in the East Asian semi-finals. He was exhausted for no reason in low-quality games, dragging a huge weight and accumulating injuries, but he couldn't get any rest in the summer. That caused serious injury.

Now that he himself has become the chairman of the Basketball Association, he naturally doesn't want to see Jiang Hu, who was also selected as the No. [-] pick at the beginning, wasting time because of these mediocre games.

Yao Ming could see clearly that Jiang Hu would definitely become the backbone of the national team in the future.

Reducing reliance on and use of him is the secret to ensuring his long-term career, and ensuring his long-term career is to ensure the long-term competitiveness of the Chinese men's basketball team.
