Chapter 1053 Christmas in London
Yang Cheng is actually not a person who likes to interfere randomly. Basically, he will not interfere with what his subordinates can do. In fact, his two core companies are developing better and better under the control of Reeds and Eddie, but the club is a bit unsatisfactory. It seems that without his decision, the club cannot continue to run.
Ian Al and Sean Marx, the actual managers of the two clubs, are both loyal and capable players. Even if they are a little worse in their decisions, Yang Cheng can't ask too much. Think from the perspective of others. If he changes to their positions, he might be so nervous. After all, in the eyes of most bosses, the club is just toys. Since it is a toy, it must be fun. There is nothing more interesting than running a sports club by yourself. This is the real version of the football and basketball manager game.
When Sean Marx came back, Yang Cheng shook his phone at him, "You can quote the Heat, trade Wade and don't stop. Continue to find a qualified second-in-command who is in his year of playing so that he can go further in the playoffs. In addition, do you have any recommendations for the new coach?"
"It's the boss, I will continue to look for stars who can partner with Paul. Regarding the coach, my personal advice is Kenny Atkinson, the chief assistant coach of the Atlanta Hawks."
Yang Chengsuo frowned, "Assistant? Are you capable enough?"
In his opinion, the champion coaches who can be worthy of the Nets All-Star lineup should be the champion coaches, at least those who can be famous. Ordinary young coaches may not be able to suppress the tempers of these big-name stars of the team.
Sean Marx quickly explained, "Boss, don't underestimate him. Kenny has played against the NBA, has experienced players, and has had experience in coaching in international arenas. He has unique insights into tactical use. To a certain extent, it is comparable to the top coach of the NCAA. By the way, he is also the head coach of the Dominican men's basketball team. If I remember correctly, the contract expires at the end of the month, and we can convince him to join now."
Yang Cheng just felt that he had interfered with the team too much, so when he turned around, Sean Marx proved his ability. Although it was a recommendation and a private suggestion on the surface, everyone knew that this was his attitude, so it depends on whether Yang Cheng agreed or not.
After pondering for a while, looking at the TV screen, Paul once again used his personal ability to score a throw-in in the inside, and finally nodded slowly, "Then give him a 2-year contract, and 2-year later, the team determines whether to renew the contract according to the team's progress."
Sean originally wanted to say that NBA rarely signs a two-year contract, which is a bit disrespectful to a coach, but Yang Cheng's attitude is very firm. Sean doesn't have much to say, so he can only give some compensation on his annual salary. He knows that Yang Cheng will not be stingy with this little money.
The two sides on the court were hard to solve, and the deadlock continued until the end of the fourth quarter to be broken. Chris Paul has shown his big heart many times in this game, especially in the fourth quarter, he has scored 12 points so far, and just threw a mid-range shot against Wade's tough defense, expanding the lead to 4 points. With more than 30 seconds left before the end of the game, the advantage of these 4 points is enough to build confidence in winning.
Sure enough, a miracle was not born. Although Old Wade finally scored two points by serving, Paul unexpectedly passed the ball to assist Lopez in an all-time job, which completely established the victory of the game. In the end, the Nets won with a slight advantage of 104 to 100 at home, and Nets fans could enjoy the fruits of victory again.
Paul became the best player in this game with a perfect performance of 35 points, 12 assists and 5 rebounds, and was also the first contributor to the team's victory.
After the game, Paul and Wade hugged each other affectionately. This was the mutual appreciation between the strong and the greetings between friends. No matter how intense the game was, it was just a regular season game. Both sides had no mortal grudge. Therefore, both sides were very friendly and did not spark.
Yang Cheng refused Sean Marx's invitation to go to the locker room to visit the players and took a bus from the VIP channel to leave the stadium. However, he promised that after Wade came to the team, he would hold a party and invite the whole team to his home to play.
...
The next day, the snow had already stopped, but what made people feel strange was that they couldn't feel any coldness. The sun was hanging in the sky, not only did it not feel cold, but it even felt a little hot. This strange weather made the boring New York people crazy recently. They took off their winter clothes and came to the street to play snowball fights. Even if the snowball melted on their bodies, they wouldn't feel frozen.
All of the New York Times and CW TV reported on such strange climate change, but people did not realize that such changes might be nature's punishment for mankind. They still had no scruples to entertain, went out to play snowball fights, watched the speeches of the candidates at home and complained about them, which seemed to constitute the main theme of New Yorkers in December.
The high temperature of more than ten degrees continued until the eve of Christmas Eve and returned to normal. On December 23, the day before Christmas Eve, the temperature returned to zero. People picked up coats and down jackets again and put them on. The streets and alleys were filled with laughter and joy, and everyone was welcoming the arrival of Christmas Eve.
However, the Yang family arrived at the airport early and flew to the opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean on Yang Cheng's Jason. At the same time, a business plane with the new era cultural and tourism logo departed from Honolulu Airport in Hawaii. After stopping in Los Angeles, it also flew all the way east.
When Yang Cheng and his family flew to Shao Desen Airport first and were taken home by Carson, the Beihai Manor had been decorated long ago. Carson and his servants were busy for half a month. At this time, the entire castle was like a fairy tale world in winter.
Cut down a Nordman fir tree more than 6 meters high from the forest in the manor as a log for making Christmas trees, and put it in the hall of the castle as usual. On each fir branch, glittering pine cones and star-shaped decorations were hung. One of them was specially hung with a symbol symbolizing the Yang family, which looked very cute.
In addition to the Christmas tree, every corner of the castle is dyed with festive colors. In fact, according to convention, the arrangement of each year will have different themes. However, this year is the first time that the Yang family celebrates Christmas in the UK, so Carson chose the theme of "Oriental", which is more in line with the identity of the Yang family's Chinese. So Yang Cheng's family discovered that the big red light from Country Z appeared in various rooms in the castle.
Of course, in order to be more in line with the visual effect, gold is indispensable. In addition to the unexpected lighting adjustment, Carson also went to Windsor Castle to buy a set of silver-plated tableware made by George IV for Yang Cheng's family to use during Christmas dinners and entertain guests.
Yang Cheng couldn't help but feel proud and looked at her parents, "How is it? Isn't it bad? I'm right to suggest coming to the UK for Christmas?"
Liu Yun almost used instinct to squeeze in, "It's really not bad, but unfortunately you didn't do it yourself, otherwise I would praise you to God."
Yang Cheng chuckled awkwardly, not daring to answer the conversation.
It was still my father who came out to smooth things out, "Okay, it's the holiday. If the child is happy, he will tell him to say, "By the way, why don't you pick up your wife's family? Are they coming soon?"
Yang Cheng hurriedly said, "No hurry, they will take half a day to arrive. It will take less than 20 minutes to get from here to the airport, and it will be too late."
Yang Sen waved his hand, "Just make arrangements, your mother and I will go up and rest. My legs are weak when I take this flight."
Liu Yun couldn't help but feel vicious tongue again, "I'm so tired after only a few hours? I'm so lucky that I didn't let you take the civil aviation industry, otherwise you would be exhausted,,,"
Yang Cheng has become accustomed to her mother's mouth that can make her dead live, and her left ear goes into her right ear and leaves.
Carson had already arranged the room and wanted to serve him personally, but Yang Cheng grabbed him and asked in a low voice, "I communicated with William before I came. One day after Christmas, he would visit his whole family. There is also the Beckham family. Is the ingredients sufficient?"
In fact, Yang Cheng also knew that Carson would never make any mistakes, but he just couldn't help but ask too much, and he was worried about his life.
Sure enough, Carson said loudly, "Please rest assured that my respected master, the manor has prepared enough ingredients for 50 people to eat for half a month, and they are all freshly shipped here, including the top delicacies from all over the world. I will never let Beihai Manor be embarrassed on such a major festival."
Yang Cheng sighed, "Okay, I'm relieved. By the way, is there any progress in the laboratory?"
He refers to the study of Tutankhamun's golden mask.
Unfortunately, Carson failed to continue to bring him a confident expression, and he shook his head regretfully, "I'm sorry, lord, I don't, I will urge them."
Yang Cheng sighed, because he was anxious. Earl Canavin had studied something that he had not figured out for decades, and could he find it clear in less than two months after he was in his hands. It was impossible to take his protagonist's halo too seriously.
...
London's latitude is similar to Mohe in Country Z. The daylight in winter is very short, especially in mid-December, which is almost dark before 4 pm. Although Shao Desen, a small coastal town in Londoners is a remote rural area, it is full of emotions in the eyes of locals.
Yang Cheng personally drove to the airport to pick up people. When he drove through the city center, the rich festive atmosphere infected everyone. It was dark early and the colorful lights had already lit up. Under the dark night sky was a golden ocean.
Although it was not Christmas Eve today, Santa Claus had already come out to work. She wore a classic red velvet jacket and a white beard, and looked very kind. The children cheered and gathered around Santa Claus for gifts. Their parents were happily taking photos on the outside with their cameras on their faces. The parents greeted and chatted with each other, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
