From South China Tiger to NBA King

After the game, Jiang Hu had no thoughts about his personal performance and winning, but he did say a few words when evaluating his opponent.

"The Thunder are a very strong team. Westbrook's talent is incredible. He can easily score 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. I think he will surpass Mr. Oscar Robertson and become a new history player in the future. Triple Double King.”

The reporter asked: "Why did you praise Russell so much even though you didn't play against Russell most of the time today?"

"Why? Because he has excellent skills and outstanding physical fitness. He made it difficult for us to win the game. Without them, we might only need half a game to win the game."

Jiang Hu doesn't mind bragging about Westbrook. He wants to praise Westbrook to the sky and brag him to a level that is hard to see in the sky and rare on earth. In this way, as long as he can defeat Westbrook every time and get good data, he can be praised. People are different from Westbrook.

When Westbrook was interviewed, he was in good spirits and commented on Jianghu with a smile.

"Jiang is an incredible player. It is a wonderful thing to play against him. You can watch his game up close. It is a natural flow, as if this guy was born to play basketball."

The reporter asked again: "If you could evaluate your opponent Jiang in one sentence, how would you evaluate him?"

Westbrook rolled his big eyes, and then said: "I think he is LeBron James with Kobe's skills. LeBron's body is very strong. I think LeBron's comprehensive physical fitness can be ranked first in history. Brown's body was built by God to be a great basketball player, but Kobe was way ahead of LeBron in terms of skill."

"Jiang's skills are natural. Although he has only played two seasons in the NBA, he gives me the feeling that he has been playing professional games for more than ten years. His brain is too mature. This is also a kind of talent and maturity. At the same time, he also has excellent physical fitness, he is simply God’s favorite.”

Westbrook has always been like this. He is quite magnanimous. Even if he loses ugly, he will not be in a bad situation.

At this time, Westbrook has realized his ability. It's too hard for him to lead the Thunder out of the Western Conference and win a championship, so he doesn't mind saying what he really thinks, even if it makes other people who hear it unhappy, he doesn't care.

The Western Lakers, Rockets, and Warriors are the three big mountains that are weighing on him. Unless his shooting is stronger and he has stronger teammates to match him, he will definitely not be able to beat these teams.

After defeating the Thunder, the Celtics' winning streak reached 16 games. At this time, they were only three games away from tying the team's winning streak.

The Celtics' winning streak was born in the first year of the Big Three's merger in 08.

Starting from their narrow overtime victory over the Bucks on November 2008, 11, Beijing time, the Celtics were invincible, winning 16 times in 19 consecutive games. The 19th game was the Christmas Day game in 20, until they faced off against the Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe Bryant. The confrontation was defeated.

The 19-game winning streak is not only the longest winning streak in Celtics history, but also the sixth-longest winning streak in NBA history.

They once had a 27-2 start that season, and many people thought they might break the Bulls' 72-win record.

But after losing to the Lakers, the Celtics went straight to a record of 9 wins and 3 losses in the next 6 games. The record went from 27 wins and 2 losses to 30 wins and 8 losses in an instant, completely ending The possibility of breaking the Bulls' regular season record, because if they want to break the record, they must achieve 44 wins and 43 loss in the next 1 games, which is almost an impossible task.

The local media in Boston have praised the Celtics this season, and more and more people are optimistic that they will equal or even surpass the regular season record this season.

Except for the Lakers, no team in the entire league seems to be unable to defeat them. The East seems to be the Celtics' back garden, and they can wreak havoc here without paying any price.

Jianghu knows how good James was back then. Almost all of those strong opponents are in the West. The East is completely dominated by his own family. If Jianghu can maintain this level of lineup all year round, it will definitely reach the finals for ten or eight consecutive years. It's not something unimaginable.

But it's not all good news for the Celtics.

After the game against the Thunder, Leonard felt some discomfort in his ankle. Fortunately, after examination, it was an ordinary ankle sprain. It should have been in the third quarter when he failed to adjust his landing position when he dunked.

However, the management is very cautious about Leonard's injury. Originally, this injury only required a truce for two or three games, but Angie directly announced that Leonard needed to rest for two weeks.

Ainge would rather suffer a minor injury than recover, even if his record may be affected, rather than let Leonard continue to play with his injury.

In this case, plus Morris, who was suspended for three games for punching in the last game, the Celtics will play without a core and a main rotation player in the next few games.

After a day off, the Celtics will face the Detroit Pistons at home on November 11.

Even if the Celtics' lineup is not complete, the Pistons can't win. There is a clear gap in the strength of the stars on both sides.

Jianghu is being closely guarded, and there will be others who will step forward.

The most outstanding performer in this game was Jaylen Brown, who scored 31 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

江湖给丹尼·格林传了很多球。哈灵顿9投6中，罚球8中7，得到19分4篮板2助攻2盖帽，得分创了生涯新高。

替补出场的SGA同样表现的非常强大，4投4中，三分球1中1，罚球2中2，得到11分2篮板10助攻2抢断，百分百的命中率砍下了两双表现同样抢眼。

Although Leonard is on a truce, the two players outside Jianghu have performed so well that no matter who the opponent is, there is no chance of winning.

This is also due to Jianghu. He usually takes a direct shot when receiving a pass from Alexander. After attracting double teams, he also passes many easy shots to Jaylen Brown.

Jianghu himself took fewer shots, but he still had 25 points, 5 rebounds, 15 assists and 3 steals, and his assists were soaring.

The Celtics are missing two players and need to properly train their young players to help them gain confidence when playing against weak teams.

Jaylen Brown and Alexander are playing with confidence, and their performance in the playoffs will definitely be better than the minimum-salary players signed in the free market.

Stevens arranged for Jianghu to pass the ball more before the game, and Jianghu himself was willing to do so.

The most important thing this season is to win the championship, everything else is secondary. Jianghu does not have to score points in every game. He is far ahead in the scoring list.

After the game, Jianghu received unanimous praise from the media. People think that he has great team leadership ability, can help his teammates become better, and drive newcomers to produce beautiful statistics. He is definitely an excellent team leader.

The core of the Pistons is the twin-tower lineup, Drummond and Griffin. Griffin used his long-range shooting in this game. He made 23 of 12 shots and scored 31 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Mond made 18 of 7 shots, 11 of 6 free throws, and scored 20 points and 22 rebounds.

The outstanding performance of the two big insiders allowed the Pistons to maintain the score until the last quarter. In the end, the Celtics won by relying on Jianghu's star performance at the critical moment.

The score was 115 to 109, and the Celtics won their 17th consecutive victory.

November 11rd is the fourth Thursday in November, and it is also Thanksgiving Day in the United States. On this day, the NBA does not schedule any games.

This day and Christmas are both very important holidays for Americans.

Jiang Hu didn't feel much about this festival, but Sophia kindly invited him to spend the festival together in Los Angeles. Out of consideration for their future, Jiang Hu flew to Los Angeles.

Anyway, the next game is an away game. He and the team will take a leave, and then he can go directly to Los Angeles. Stallone's mansion is located in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles. It is the first-class Tomson in the United States. It is home to many celebrities, including Leonardo, Bezos, Beckham, Taylor Swift, Kobe, Jackie Chan, Almost all the names you are familiar with have their own mansions here.

Even James, who has been in Cleveland and Miami before, bought himself a luxurious manor here in 2010, spending a total of 5000 million U.S. dollars. The Heat's four-year after-tax salary was all used to play in Bought a house here.

Stallone's family was very enthusiastic about Jiang Hu's arrival. Even the 70-year-old Stallone drove to the Los Angeles airport in person to greet Jiang Hu, which was a great honor to the would-be son-in-law.

In Stallone's eyes, Jiang Hu is definitely a good son-in-law. He didn't even know how his daughter got hooked up with Jiang Hu. Until this summer, his daughter ran to Boston at every turn and appeared on the Celtics team at every turn. In the audience, I discovered the clue.

Stallone is very relieved about Jianghu. He knows that this guy is definitely not here for his money and status, and he definitely loves his daughter.

He will never forget how surprised he was when he saw that the advertising revenue of the rookie in the world reached 100 million US dollars in his first year. With such strength, wealth and the son-in-law of a basketball superstar, Stallone couldn't be more satisfied.

As soon as the two met at the airport, Jiang Hu quickly walked up and gave Stallone a big hug, and exaggeratedly praised: "It's incredible that you maintain such a healthy and strong figure. You can come and play on our team." Got it!!”

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling man, not to mention that Stallone himself has a good impression of this prospective son-in-law, so he quickly smiled and said:

"Haha, thank you, young man, but I can't beat you in basketball. I guess there may not be anyone in the entire United States who can be your opponent!!"

Stallone is also an avid basketball fan. When he is not making movies, his favorite thing is to take his three daughters to watch games at Staples. Now his daughter has one of the most popular basketball stars as her boyfriend, Stallone. Not to mention how happy I am.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere between the two, Sophia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything in their family was decided by their father, Stallone. Unexpectedly, Jiang Hu took care of his father as soon as they met. Sophia immediately admired Jiang Hu's communication skills and silently sighed in her heart: "This man is really... The more contact I have, the more charming I become, and I can’t help myself!!”

On the way back, Jiang Hu and Stallone hit it off. Stallone kept praising Jiang Hu's achievements, and Jiang Hu reciprocated by praising Stallone's movies crazily.

For this meeting between the two, Jiang Hu has been binge-watching Stallone's movies during this period and has watched almost all of his movies.

When Stallone heard the praise from the public that his "First Blood" and "Rocky" were not inferior to the action movies of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, Stallone once again let out a hearty laugh.

You know, Stallone likes these two people very much, and he firmly believes that Bruce Lee is the pioneer of kung fu action movies, while Jackie Chan is the highest limit that an action movie actor without stunts can achieve. Hearing such praise from Jianghu, It's hard not to be happy.

Los Angeles is so big that even if you take the highway, it still takes an hour on the road. Jiang Hu and Stallone and his daughter returned to Beverly Hills, which is where the Stallone family lives most often.

Stallone has purchased multiple properties in Los Angeles. In 1987, Stallone spent US$170 million to buy a Mediterranean-style mansion with four bedrooms and seven bathrooms. In 2003, Stallone bought it for US$850 million. The villa was sold at a reasonable price and made a small profit.

Don't say that Americans don't speculate in real estate. Americans also speculate in real estate. There is no difference.

However, the mansion where Stallone's family currently lives is a new mansion he purchased in 1999. It covers an area of ​​1600 square meters, has ten bedrooms, and seven bathrooms. It costs US$7 million. There is a large artificial lake around the mansion. It is full of artificial rockeries and caves, and even has entertainment projects such as boating. In addition, there is an indoor gym, indoor basketball court, and even a cinema where you can watch IMAX. It is simply inhumane.

Stallone and his three daughters spent happy times here. Sophia grew up in such a mansion during her childhood, and she is definitely considered a lady.

When Jiang Hu and Stallone returned home, Jennifer Fila and her other two daughters were already standing at the door to greet them.

"My dear little princesses, I'm back."

As soon as Stallone got out of the car, he shouted loudly to the family members at the door, fearing that he would not be able to wait, and opened his arms to give his daughter and wife a big hug.

"Ahhh, Sophia, Jiang!!"

"Oh my god, my MVP brother-in-law is here!!"

Who would have thought that Stallone's second daughter Sistine and youngest daughter Scarlett would skip Stallone's open arms and run straight to Jiang Hu, while holding Jiang Hu and Sophia's arms enthusiastically, causing Jiang Hu and Sophia to open their arms. Stallone was very embarrassed and a little embarrassed...

Fortunately, his wife Jennifer Fila did not rebel and gave Stallone an affectionate hug, which relieved the old Stallone's lost heart.

Regarding the arrival of Jiang Hu, Jennifer, the mother-in-law-to-be, seemed very enthusiastic. She kept chatting with a smile, but it was basically an awkward chat with nothing to say. It felt no different from a domestic son-in-law meeting his mother-in-law.

Jiang Hu chatted awkwardly with Jennifer in the living room for half an hour before Sophia arrived belatedly, dragging Jiang Hu around to look around.

"This is our family's cinema. When we were young, we would watch movies together as a family every Saturday. We were forced to watch every one of my dad's movies at least twenty times."

"This is the general living room of our house. We will eat here later."

"This is the nursery in my house. Sistine and Scarlett slept here until they were two years old. Next door is the parents' room. However, I took care of Scarlett a lot when she was a child. I remember she was only 8 months old at that time. , but her voice was louder than mine when she cried."

"And here, when I was a kid..."

Sophia just walked and introduced Jianghu, like a conscientious tour guide.

Stallone's home was so big that it actually took Sofia more than an hour to take Jiang Hu around the mansion and then slowly around the house.

At around 9 o'clock in the evening, Jiang Hu had dinner with Stallone and his family. It is said that Stallone's wife Jennifer squeezed out the nanny to cook the dinner herself. This shows that the Stallone family attaches great importance to Jiang Hu's arrival.

Jennifer is 50 years old and is a true Mexican. Naturally, she is very good at Mexican dishes with excellent flavor and diverse tastes.

For example, some sweet and sour Mexican grilled chicken breast and fresh vegetable yogurt rolls.

The chicken has been marinated and then grilled, and the aroma is fragrant. The chicken roll is filled with juicy and crisp cabbage and is full of meat floss, red kidney beans, broccoli, and yogurt sauce. The sour, sweet and sour flavors are a perfect match. The chicken roll itself has a refreshing taste!

and cumin-roasted veal fillet cheese tart. The crust is soft and chewy, and the beef fillet in the filling is very tender. When you bite into it, there is milky cheese wrapped inside, and it is invincible when dipped in the secret sweet and spicy sauce.

Jiang Hu’s favorite is the Mexican spicy grilled chicken. It is oily and juicy. It is extremely smooth and tender when you bite it. It also has a browned surface. The taste is really great!

As for the turkey on the side, Jianghu almost never touched it. Only fools like to eat those hard muscles.

Jiang Hu almost finished most of the large plate of spicy roast chicken, but he still felt that he was still unsatisfied.

Of course, when it comes to authentic Mexican food, the tacos that are the favorite of famous star LeBron James are missing. Fortunately, Stallone’s family is not like James’s family, so there is no need to yell gigigigigi crazily before meals.

Jiang Hu quite likes Mexican food, but he won't eat too much. First, he will get tired of it if he eats too much. Second, this thing is too fat and is definitely a fat bomb.

The guests and hosts enjoyed this sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner for two hours. During the dinner, Stallone also opened a bottle of very expensive Lafite red wine. While Jianghu chatted with the family, he also accompanied Future Stallone to read. Drinking heavily makes me happy.
