Chapter 182 The Turbulent Plane
Wang Xiucheng did not get up, but he still fastened his seatbelt.
This kind of thing happens frequently, whether in the United States or on international flights that cross oceans.
Wang Xiucheng had encountered this a few times before, so he wasn't too panicked.
But his calm demeanor doesn't mean others won't panic.
The woman in the distance started screaming incoherently and kept pressing the buttons, trying to find the flight attendant.
With a loud crash, it seemed as if some luggage in the rear cabin had been shaken off and fallen, making a loud noise.
This made the woman even more panicked. She stopped screaming, but her face turned deathly pale almost instantly, and large beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Wang Xiucheng looked out the window and indeed saw clouds, and it seemed that he might not be able to get out for a while.
So when the bumps subsided a little, Wang Xiucheng unbuckled his seatbelt and, holding onto the seat, swayed all the way to the other side.
"Hey, sister, calm down, it's okay," Wang Xiucheng shouted, deliberately raising his voice.
But it was no use; the woman seemed not to hear him at all.
Wang Xiucheng had no choice but to sit down, first fastening his seatbelt, then turning around and using both hands to bring the woman's face towards him.
The moment they touched, Wang Xiucheng noticed that her skin temperature was very low.
Forcing the other person to look at him, Wang Xiucheng said loudly, "Calm down, nothing will happen."
"What?" The woman seemed not to have heard Wang Xiucheng's words at all.
Wang Xiucheng reluctantly removed the other person's hands from their ears: "I told you to calm down, nothing will happen."
"How do you know?" The woman kept shaking her head, while one hand was still trying to press the button.
“I told you, trust me, everything will be alright,” Wang Xiucheng shouted again.
The woman looked at Wang Xiucheng and asked, "What if something really happens?"
"If something really happens, I'll die with you."
The woman suddenly froze, and then fell silent, as if she had just thought of something.
But he quickly regained his flustered state.
Wang Xiucheng glanced at the clouds outside again, and the next moment he hugged the woman tightly.
The woman suddenly fell silent again, her hands raised somewhat helplessly.
Just like that, after a full minute, the turbulent plane suddenly quieted down, and the flashing lights returned to normal.
"Dear passengers, we have passed the storm zone. We are now bringing you..."
Wang Xiucheng released the woman in his arms and watched as her panicked face gradually returned to normal, which put him at ease.
Without saying another word, Wang Xiucheng returned to his seat, picked up the blanket, and lay down again.
The flight attendants finally left their seats and came into the cabin.
They were relieved to see that Wang Xiucheng and the other person were alright.
"Hey, don't you recognize me?" The woman said after seeing Wang Xiucheng go back to lie down. "Thank you for earlier. My name is Zhang Jiani."
Wang Xiucheng didn't get up; he simply stretched out his hand and waved in the air, "Wang Xiucheng."
“I know you, Wang Xiucheng, thank you,” Zhang Jiani said again.
She remembered that she had seen Wang Xiucheng at an event before.
Wang Xiucheng did not respond this time, but simply shifted his body, seemingly looking for a comfortable position.
Zhang Jiani tidied her hair, calmed down from her lingering fear, and got up to go to the back to check if Uncle Li and the others were alright.
It took Wang Xiucheng about three hours to slowly wake up.
Wang Xiucheng wanted to continue sleeping, but he was a little hungry, so he had to get up.
After ordering a few things to fill his stomach, Wang Xiucheng took out his Switch to pass the time.
He didn't plan to sleep anymore; if he slept any longer, it would be difficult to adjust to the time difference once he got to the United States.
Zhang Jiani would look at Wang Xiucheng every few minutes.
She knows who Wang Xiucheng is; there are very few people in China who don't know who Wang Xiucheng is.
But it was precisely because she knew that Zhang Jiani had a very strange feeling.
Wang Xiucheng is clearly not even 20 years old, so why is he so calm when faced with problems?
Not to mention Zhang Jiani herself, when she went out to check, she saw more than a dozen grown men, at least several of whom were deathly pale, as if they were about to die. Two of them were even vomiting uncontrollably.
Even Uncle Li, who had weathered many storms, was sweating profusely, and his wig had somehow flown off.
But Wang Xiucheng remained so calm, and even afterwards acted as if nothing had happened, and was able to go back to sleep.
This made Zhang Jiani very interested in Wang Xiucheng.
However, since the two did not know each other, she did not want to bother Wang Xiucheng.
……
As the regular season approaches, some inexplicable things have happened to each team.
First up is the Celtics' young coach, Udoka, who led the team to the Finals last season. He made "a mistake that every man makes," and it was exposed, resulting in an indefinite suspension from the Celtics.
This is actually quite normal in the United States, but Udoka is a public figure after all, so the Celtics have to do something.
In addition, amidst the dissatisfaction of fans, Wang Xiucheng's former team, the Houston Rockets, extended Porter Jr.'s contract for four years and $82.5 million.
This price not only left fans speechless, but even Woj and others said they couldn't understand it.
"Or perhaps Stone wants to tell everyone that Porter Jr. is stronger than Wang Xiucheng, so this price is a little more than Wang Xiucheng's 4-year, 8000 million contract."
Shams made what seemed to be a bit of a joke during the show.
Draymond Green, who had just won the championship last season, was involved in a physical altercation with Poole during practice. The incident, which was later leaked, shocked the entire league.
The news related to Wang Xiucheng's new team, the Nets, is that John Wall, who was traded along with Wang Xiucheng, was eventually bought out by the Nets and joined the Clippers after clearing waivers.
10 month 20 day.
Barlake Center, Brooklyn.
7:30 p.m.
Starting in the morning, various activities were launched at the Barlake Center to welcome the first regular season game of the new season.
The jersey sales area has been packed with people ever since the store opened.
Almost every fan who enters here will pick out a jersey for the new season.
Of these jerseys, the number "12" jersey sold the most.
This resulted in a sign being hung on the store's door around 4 p.m.
They indicated that Wang Xiucheng's jersey was sold out and there was no stock available; pre-orders were the only option.
Of course, in addition to Wang Xiucheng's jersey, fans who pre-order will also receive a Nets scarf.
This did not dampen the fans' enthusiasm, and as the evening match time approached, more and more fans arrived.
Gradually, having eaten and drunk their fill, the fans, dressed in their favorite players' jerseys, walked towards the inside of the field.
Some came alone, some came as a family, and some even came in groups carrying small Chinese flags as tourists.
They were of different skin colors and genders, but everyone had a smile on their face, seemingly very confident about their performance this season.
This smile wasn't the first time it had appeared.
This was the expectation of fans when the Big Three were first formed.
Although this memory doesn't seem pleasant now.
Finally, the fans entered the stadium.
The Nets players were warming up to music playing in the arena.
And the most dazzling Chinese person is among them.
And everyone suddenly noticed that Wang Xiucheng, who had previously grown his hair long, had gone back to having a buzz cut.
