From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 287 Summer travel, new season training camp begins.

Owen's transaction happened very suddenly, how sudden. Even the protagonist Owen was completely unaware of the transaction. At that time, he was playing on the sea with his friends and several models. He was so tired that he fell asleep and was woken up by his friends. , telling him he was traded to the San Antonio Spurs.

After learning that he had been traded, Irving's first reaction was:
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible. I told Danny that I will seriously consider renewing my contract this season. There is no way he will trade me."

The friend directly handed the phone to Irving: "See for yourself, ESPN, TNT, and Twitter trending searches are all news about you being traded!!"

Owen was dumbfounded when he saw the accurate message on his phone.

He never expected that Anji would actually make up his mind to trade him away for Leonard, whose physical condition was uncertain.

Looking at the calm sea and the vast sky, Owen fell into deep thought.

A moment later, Irving took out his phone again, opened Twitter, and posted a tweet: "I've said it a long time ago, the earth is flat..."

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

After completing Irving's trade, the Celtics' current roster is: Jiang Hu, Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green, Jaylen Brown, Gordon Hayward, Terry Rowe Chile, Marcus Morris, Al Horford, Marcus Morris, Alex Caruso, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA), Daniel Theis, Aaron ·Baines, Semi Ojeleye.

The Celtics' roster is nearly full, but the battle with their opponents, the Los Angeles Lakers, is far from over.

On July 7, the Los Angeles Lakers officially announced the signing of free agent Caldwell-Pope with a one-year contract worth $7 million.

On July 7, the Los Angeles Lakers officially announced the signing of Lance Stephenson with a one-year minimum salary. (The one who likes to blow into James’ ears and play the guitar to celebrate)
On July 7, the Los Angeles Lakers officially announced the signing of former Warriors backup center JaVale McGee to a two-year, $9 million contract.

On July 7, the Los Angeles Lakers officially announced that they had reached a deal with the Utah Jazz, sending Josh Hart, a 9 second-round pick, and a 2019 second-round pick to acquire Jae Crowder from the Jazz.

On July 7, the Los Angeles Lakers officially announced that they had signed Rajon Rondo with a one-year mid-level contract worth 9 million yuan.

On July 7, the Los Angeles Lakers officially announced that they had signed Reggie Bullock to a one-year minimum salary contract.

At this point, the main framework of the Los Angeles Lakers has been basically completed: LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Brook Lopez, Jay K The 11-man main rotation of Louder, Rajon Rondo, Caldwell-Pope, JaVale McGee, Lance Stephenson, and Reggie Brook.

Although the Lakers' roster is not yet full, the 11 people currently in place are basically the main members of the Lakers' regular season. Almost every one of them has good combat effectiveness, and once the Pelicans let go, the Lakers can Take out good chips immediately and go to trade.

With the smooth formation of the Lakers, in the eyes of various media, the Eastern and Western Conferences have now formed a situation of two super teams and multiple strong teams.

The two super teams are the classic yellow and green teams, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics. In addition to these two big guys, in the West, the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors are also considered to be teams capable of competing for the championship. On the other hand, in the Eastern Conference, the Bucks originally added Brook Lopez and the Raptors added Kawhi Leonard this season. Their strength has dropped a lot, and neither is considered capable of challenging the healthy Celtics.

The media believes that in the regular season this season, the team with the record advantage should be the Boston Celtics, but in the playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers should be the stronger team.

The reason is simple: in today's league, there are only three people who have won MVP+FMVP at the same time, one James, one Jianghu, and one Durant. But now James and Durant are on the same team. Teams with significant personnel changes need to go through running-in before they can develop combat effectiveness.

The media believes that the Celtics' personnel changes are smaller and chemical reactions can be formed faster.

As for this brand-new Lakers formed during the offseason, except for a few rookies, everyone came from different teams last season. Coupled with an inexperienced head coach, they will have to get used to it at least until the middle of the season. Form a powerful fighting force.

The media generally believe that the Lakers may need to undergo a coaching change, replacing the young Luke Walton, in order to form a chemical reaction and combat effectiveness.

Once the Lakers' combat effectiveness is formed, the combination of James and Durant may be far more powerful than the combination of Jianghu and Leonard, whose physical health is uncertain.

With the lineups of the Lakers and Celtics completed, the free market has come to an end. The big fish that should settle have all settled, and it is basically difficult for the rest to make waves.

Jiang Hu did not start training as soon as the free market ended. After all, you cannot live just for work. You must take one to two months a year to rest.

Even Kobe, who is known for his hard training, would only start training immediately after the finals in the years when he lost in the finals. In the remaining years, he would take about a month off and then start preparing for the new season again. .

But other players may rest longer, some as long as one and a half to two months, or even longer, like Kemp, who plays day and night in the off-season, but people like Kobe seem to be resting. Particularly diligent and restrained.

During the long season, it is often impossible to go out and play, but in the off-season, the sky is huge and you can go anywhere.

On July 7, Jiang Hu started his own vacation trip. He and Sophia chose Orlando as their first stop and went to Disney World there.

In 1964, people began to plan to build a larger amusement park, which was the "Disney World" in Orlando.After five years of construction, Disney World finally opened to the public in October 5.It cost $1971 million and is located outside Orlando, Florida. It is an amusement center suitable for all ages.

It is located on the outskirts of Orlando, Florida, USA. It opened to welcome guests in 1971. It is the largest Disney resort in the world. It is also the largest Disney theme park in the world, with a total area of ​​124 square kilometers, approximately equal to 0.05 Tongliao.

Disney is the absolute core of this city. Almost half of the city is built to support Disney. If you are bringing children with you, Disney World is the most suitable choice.

Adults have more choices. There are five 18-hole international standard golf courses and comprehensive sports parks in Orlando. There is also a Disney shopping mall in the city center, which combines shopping, entertainment and dining facilities, including night play areas, acrobatics groups, and bars. , various shops and over 250 restaurants.

Orlando Disney World consists of 7 theme parks with different styles, 6 golf clubs and 6 theme hotels.Just as Disneyland in Los Angeles shocked Westerners, Disney World in Orlando shocked people on the East Coast.

In Disney World, there are Central Street, Small World, Tomorrowland, Pioneer Land and Liberty Square.There are elegant old-fashioned carriages, quaint shops, restaurants and tea rooms on the Central Street; Small World is an entertainment world specially designed for children and aspirational for them; in "Tomorrow's World", people will be in a highly developed world. In the environment, you can go to the "Moon" for a tour in person; if you come to the pioneer land and Liberty Square, it will be a different world, where people can relive the various scenes of immigrants from various countries pioneering in the New World, and The condition of the American continent during the British colonial period.When walking in Disney World, you will often encounter Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs dressed up by actors, which makes people regain their childlike innocence and enjoy the fun.

Disney World is not only an amusement park, but also a tourism center. Visitors can also go to nearby beaches to swim, skate, sail, go deep-sea fishing, take a balloon ride, or visit nearby historical sites.These colorful programs add a bit of charm to Disney World.

In order to be able to go out and play without any scruples without being surrounded by fans or those fanatical fans, Jianghu has implemented extremely strict confidentiality measures.There is no way, Jianghu's popularity is too high now.

A young man under the age of 20 has become the face of the NBA, and his popularity has reached its peak among young people. Not only in China, but also in the United States, countless people regard him as an idol. This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. .

The good thing is that his popularity can help him make a lot of money.

The disadvantage is that no matter where he goes, he will be chased from behind and blocked, making it difficult to have any private space.

So in order to be able to play freely, Jiang Hu changed his outfit this time, from black hair to a blonde wig and brown beard, and then put on blue contact lenses, so that he looked more like a white American or Europeans.

As for Sophia, there is no need to worry. She rarely appears in public before the year, and her only public appearance was almost at the award ceremony a few days ago, so the attention she received is actually not bad.

But in order to keep it secret, Sophia also changed her appearance. She cut her original long wavy hair short to around her chest, and then dyed her original golden hair color into red hair to ensure that it was the same as last time. Showing up at an awards show is a completely different image.

In order to keep it secret, the two of them not only did not bring bodyguards when they went out, but they also did not drive their own cars when they went to the airport. Instead, they took the Toyota car owned by the gardener at home?

Because of the good confidentiality work, Jiang Hu and Sophia were not recognized by anyone from Boston to Orlando, which allowed them to play as much as they wanted without worrying about being surrounded by people.

Even though Disney World is only 0.05 times the size of Tongliao, once you start playing, it’s really not that small.

On the first day, the two went to the Kilimanjaro Safari Park in Disney World. They took a tour bus in the park and spent half a day visiting the zoo. In addition to the common giraffes, lions, and zebras, there were also many other places in the world. I saw wildebeest and African wild dogs for the first time, and also saw the flat-headed brother I had admired for a long time.

As soon as the flat-headed brother met, he ran after the car unceremoniously, making Sophia scream in fright. Fortunately, Jianghu had long legs, and he kicked the flat-headed brother to the ground with a single kick.

In the afternoon, the two went to visit the World of Avatar in the Pandora area. The scenery inside was almost a replica of the movie "Avatar". The men and women were painted exactly the same blue as in the movie. They had nose bridges that were hard to tell from fake ones, and they also looked like they were in the movie. Jiang Hu and Sophia took many photos together.

After coming out of the world of Avatar, the two lined up to ride the most expensive roller coaster in the world - Guardians of the Galaxy - Cosmic Rewind.

This roller coaster is the most expensive roller coaster in the world (USD 1 million) after Animal Kingdom's Everest Adventure Coaster (USD 3 million) and Universal Studios' Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorcycle Coaster (USD 5 million). It is located at Disney World in Orlando. EPCOT Park.

The entire track is surrounded by ultra-high-definition 4D naked-eye screens. Jiang Hu and Sophia sit on the cool spaceship chairs. After passing through the dark night light, they enter the vast universe, surrounded by sound effects, plus the track and the car. The acceleration within the body, coupled with the carefully crafted images and audio-visual effects, this somatosensory interaction is unparalleled.

Jianghu felt as if he was really driving a spaceship into the universe. The effect of flying through the stars at such a fast speed was something that was difficult to experience on the court.

Being in it, Jiang Hu felt that he had almost forgotten the real world.

Because the immersion of this roller coaster was so strong, Jianghu didn't feel very enjoyable after playing it once. Then he went on it again by himself, one trip for 30 minutes. By the time he finished the second time, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.

After 8 o'clock, they came to the Disney restaurant in the park. This was Sofia's favorite place. Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, and the Seven Dwarfs were walking among the crowd, as well as pink bowls, pink chopsticks, and pink chopsticks. Knives and forks made Sophia feel extremely intoxicated.

In the next few days, the two spent four more days exploring the entire park and experiencing almost all the playable items.

After leaving Orlando, the two took a plane to Hawaii and spent a week here.

On July 7, the two flew to China again, this time at Sofia's strong request, because they were too hasty last time and didn't have much fun at all.

Moreover, Sofia basically played with Yi Jianlian's wife last time. Yi Jianlian's wife could only barely communicate in English and didn't have much fun at all, so she strongly requested Jianghu to bring her to play again.

Since we have plenty of time this time, Jianghu has planned more than one place. We must let Sofia, a native foreigner, take a good look at what are the beautiful rivers and mountains of China.

The two of them went to Shangri-La in Yunnan together, and then to Guilin. After Guilin, they went to Huangshan, climbed the highest peak of Huangshan, Lotus Peak, and descended from Huangshan. The two of them went to Jiuzhaigou in Guizhou without stopping. When they returned to In Guangdong, it was already August 8th.

The last stop in the country was decided in Shanghai, but Jiang Hu, who had been hiding for so long, was recognized in Shanghai because he wanted to take Sophia to ride the China high-speed rail.

The security inspectors at the high-speed railway station saw at a glance that Jiang Hu's beard and hair were fake. Several people suspected that Jiang Hu might be a spy who brought Jiang Hu to the security inspection room.

However, after Jiang Hu took off all his costumes, the staff at the scene recognized Jiang Hu immediately. They did not expect that the well-known Jiang Hu was not in the United States at the moment, but appeared under their noses like this.

No wonder no one knew he had returned to China. It was a bad thing that he could be recognized in this way.

As expected, Jiang Hu was once again surrounded by staff in the security inspection room. Fortunately, most of the high-speed rail security officers were busy, and they were almost in a hurry to sign autographs and take photos.

After the near-miss high-speed rail trip, the two spent three days in Shanghai, and finally returned to Boston from Pudong International Airport on August 8.

On August 8, Jiang Hu and Sophia returned to Boston.

On August 8, Jiang Hu posted a series of travel photos in Orlando, Hawaii, Guilin, Huangshan, and Jiuzhaigou on Twitter and Weibo. Only then did everyone discover that Jiang Hu had returned to China during the offseason and had already Played a lot in the country.

It's a pity that by the time everyone found out, Jianghu had already been deserted...

On August 8, the Celtics’ mini training camp began under the auspices of Horford and Hayward.
