Chapter 465: Both Sons and Daughters

Time entered November, and on the morning of the 2nd, Zhao Dong and Lindsay went to a private hospital for a pregnancy test.

I am pregnant in early July and am already four months old. Now I can tell the gender of the fetus through ultrasound.

The Zhao family had only had sons for several generations. His great-grandfather gave birth to six sons but no daughters. Of course, only his grandfather survived in the end. The others either died in infancy or died in the war.

His grandfather's generation gave birth to two sons, and the second one died a few days after he was born.

In his generation, he has four sons. His elder brother was fined tens of thousands for the second child and gave birth to another son. There are already six boys in the family. Now the whole family wants a girl, and he himself also think.

Lindsay also wants a daughter. She has now fully adopted the Chinese mentality and customs. The so-called idea of ​​having both children and daughters has also affected her.

Besides, the four noisy sons really gave her a headache, and she also wanted a good daughter to comfort her.

During the B-ultrasound, the two of them were as nervous as when they made their first pot of gold during the Southeast Asian financial tsunami.

Staring at the image on the monitor, Zhao Dong couldn't see anything interesting. After enduring it for a minute, he asked, "Dr. Mike, can you tell the gender of the fetus?"

"Mr. Zhao Dong, please wait a moment, I need to take a closer look." Dr. Mike said quickly.

A minute later, he turned to Zhao Dong and Lindsay and said: "Mrs. Lindsay, Mr. Zhao Dong, it is now confirmed that the gender of the fetus is..."

Lindsay and Zhao Dong immediately became nervous and stared at the doctor without blinking. Dr. Mike also became nervous. Fearing that he might make a mistake, he looked back at the screen carefully and then said, "It's definitely a daughter."

"real?"

Zhao Dong was ecstatic, and Lindsay was also very excited.

"oh?"

When Dr. Mike saw Zhao Dong and Lindsay's appearance, he didn't understand why they looked like this. They were either male or female. Do they need to be so excited?

"please wait for a moment,

I'll take another look. "

He quickly turned back and started looking again, for fear of making a mistake.

Zhao Dong and Lindsay were speechless. Will you watch it?

This time Mike watched for three full minutes, the screen almost burned through by his sight, before he said with absolute certainty: "Yes, it is indeed a daughter."

"Haha, I also have a little cotton-padded jacket!" Zhao Dong jumped up excitedly.

"Be careful, go slow..."

After he was happy, he quickly helped Lindsay up, looking more cautious than when Lindsay was pregnant with her first child.

After sealing a big red envelope to Dr. Mike, the two left the hospital happily.

As soon as he got in the car, Zhao Dong couldn't wait to call back.

"Hello……"

It was around ten o'clock in the morning in China, and my mother Li Meizhu answered the phone.

"Mom, congratulations, you are going to have a granddaughter." Zhao Dong shouted as soon as the call was connected.

"Zhao Dong, when will you bring my four good grandchildren back? Mom's love for you is in vain!"

When Li Meizhu heard that it was Zhao Dong's voice, she became very angry. Her four good grandsons were all three years old, and she only saw them a few times throughout the year. If the boss hadn't given birth to two grandsons for her, she would have killed them long ago. The United States has come, and now there is a lot of resentment towards the old son Zhao Dong.

"granddaughter?"

But then he reacted, and he was immediately elated, but he was afraid of making a mistake, so he quickly asked: "You, you, Dongdong, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. She just came out of the hospital. The identification has been completed and the little girl has a film." Zhao Dong quickly assured.

He knew very well that his mother had been unhappy with him for a long time, and now that she was pregnant with a daughter, he could please her.

"Ha ha……"

Li Meizhu over there was very happy.

"Daughter-in-law, what are you doing? You scared me."

The old lady was teasing Zhao Dacheng's second child, who had just turned one year old. When she saw Li Meizhu's appearance, she said angrily.

"Old lady, congratulations, our old Zhao Dong is expecting a baby girl, and Wei Wei is pregnant with a girl." A beaming Li Meizhu quickly announced the good news.

"real?"

The old lady was surprised and said happily: "Hurry up and tell your dad to make the old man happy. This is the first girl in the Zhao family in a hundred years..."

"Hey!"

Li Meizhu responded quickly.

In November, the Jets' four games were tied 2-2. In the first three months, they had 8 wins and 3 losses, and their record was still good.

By this time, the New York Jets were firmly in first place in the American League.

In the NBA, Dayao's Nets are showing their strength in the new season and are unique in the Eastern Conference.

Postman Malone and Iverson could still compete with each other last season. This season, as Malone has aged another year, he can no longer compete with the Nets.

In the West, the Lakers can barely maintain their strength as last season, but they are not as strong as last season.

O'Neal's strength is still at its peak, still 20+10, and the giant under the basket is still unstoppable, but many statistics have declined, and his dominance has weakened.

Kobe's strength became more and more outstanding, completely controlling the Lakers' ball rights, causing O'Neal's shots to be affected.

The 38-year-old David Robinson is no longer in good shape and is on the verge of retirement. If he didn't want to compete for a championship, he might have retired.

The Lakers in the new season can no longer talk about the lineup of the Big Three, but the lineup of the OK combination. The team's dominance is shifting from inside to outside, dominated by Kobe.

This is exactly the same as Zhao Dong's rookie season when he competed with Gorilla for the core and team dominance.

The final result, Zhao Dong dares to assert, must be the same as in the previous life. The aging O'Neal left, the younger Kobe became the new core of the Lakers, and the Lakers completed the replacement of old and new.

The NFL regular season entered the last month. The New York Jets suffered a certain degree of injuries, which affected their record. They lost two of five games. When they finished all the regular season schedule at the end of the month, they had 11 wins and 5 losses, surpassing the previous record. A record of 9 wins and 7 losses on the season.

With this outstanding record, the Jets became the champions of the American League East and had the best record among the 16 teams in the American League.

The other three division champions of the American League are the Colts in the South Division, the Denver Broncos in the West Division, and the Pittsburgh Steelers in the North Division.

The four National League champions are the Philadelphia Eagles in the East Division, the Carolina Panthers in the South Division, the San Francisco 49ers in the West Division, and the Green Bay Packers in the North Division.

These eight championship teams automatically enter the playoffs, and some teams with better records than them are unable to enter the playoffs.

The other two conferences each have two teams with the best records entering the playoffs. These four teams are the so-called wild card seats.

The NFL playoffs are divided into four rounds, namely wild card week, conference finals week, conference championship week, and Super Bowl.

There are four championship teams in each conference, ranked one to four respectively. The first and second seeded teams will gain home court advantage in the playoffs and will also receive a bye in the wild card week. , that is, directly enter the second round.

The Jets are the No. 1 seed in the American League. They have a bye in the first round and will automatically advance to the second round.

After one season, Zhao Dong's strength has been reflected in the NFL. With his strong comprehensive physical fitness, he has played extremely well in several positions such as returner, linebacker, running back, tight end, and wide receiver. The performance has been recognized by the media.

Not only that, he also ranked first in the sack list with a total of 21 sacks in the season, almost breaking the single-season historical record of 22.5 times.

It can be said that he proved his strength in the NFL in just one season.

The media recognized that his performance in the NFL was that of a superstar.

Of course, he still lacks hard honors, such as a Super Bowl championship, such as the Super Bowl MVP, as well as regular season MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Offensive Rookie of the Year, and Defensive Rookie of the Year. etc.

As soon as the regular season ended and before the playoffs began, the debate about the annual major awards began.

Zhao Dong evaluated himself and felt that based on his performance, as long as the environment was fair, he could get some hard honors.

Based on the team's record, even if he is MVP, he has no chance, but this heavyweight honor should not be given to him.

The selection of these awards in the NFL is the same as that in the NBA, and is selected by the media.

Of course, the NBA actually copied the NFL's rules.

That day, Lindsay asked him if he wanted to do some operations. The media people involved in the selection could still easily handle it, but he refused.

The playoffs started on January 6th, and on the 5th, some official honors were announced.

Zhao Dong won the honors of Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, which is already a pretty good result for a rookie.

On the 6th, the playoffs begin and the Jets have a bye.

With the start of the NFL playoffs, the professional sports craze in the United States has also begun to enter a crazy stage.

February is the NFL playoffs. After the Super Bowl ends, it will enter the NCAA March Madness, and then the NBA will enter the regular season, etc. These few months can create very high sports market value and contribute to the GDP of the United States. made a great contribution.

After the wild card week, the two conferences eliminated two teams each, and four teams from each entered the second round, which is the conference championship week.

The Jets will face the lower-seeded team in the wild-card week at home, the fourth-seeded Pittsburgh Steelers.

This kind of rule is the same as that in the NBA. The strongest team beats the weakest team to ensure that there is no upset to the greatest extent and allows the strongest team to advance to the next round.

On the 14th, the New York Jets welcomed the Steelers at Giants Stadium.

The Steelers are a veteran team with excellent draft vision. They selected four Hall of Fame rookies in the 1974 draft. With these four Hall of Fame players, the Steelers won four Super Bowl championships in the 1970s. .

This team has a litany of accolades, including the most regular-season and postseason wins in the league, the most division titles, the most Super Bowl appearances, and the most Super Bowl wins.

However, after experiencing the glory of the 1970s, the Steelers experienced the downturn of the 1980s. In the 1990s, under the leadership of head coach Billy, they had reached the playoffs eight times and began another round of revival.

However, due to many injuries this season, the strength has been affected, so the record has been affected.
