Chapter 5 Reasons for the Draft
Chen Mo sighed, these things had been held in his heart and had not been told to anyone, he wanted to find someone to talk to, Jordan seemed to be a very good candidate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After a pause, Chen Mo said, "I've lived in Oakland for as long as I can remember, and we only moved to Charlotte when we were in high school. I haven't met my mother, I've been living with my father. My father insisted that I not change my nationality, and he was always gone, but he was very strict with me. ā
"He would teach me Chinese and let me learn a lot about China, but I hadn't been to China once when I was so old. Every time he went home, in addition to giving me some money, he had to take my Chinese exam. ā
"I didn't think about going to the NBA, I just wanted to finish college and help him, he always seemed to have a lot of things to do. But on Christmas 08, my father disappeared. ā
"I only had $5,000 on my pocket, and if I hadn't been drafted in '09, I wouldn't have been able to maintain my education. ā
Chen Mo said it very easily, but Jordan could feel that this child under the age of 21 was carrying something very heavy.
There are still some things that Chen Mo didn't say. Leave him a letter when his father leaves.
In the letter, his father said that he wanted Chen Mo to make money, and when Chen Mo made enough money, it proved that Chen Mo had the ability and strength, and he would appear. If Chen Mo doesn't have the strength, then he will live a stable and happy life in the United States.
Chen Mo thought that his father would appear when he entered the NBA and signed a contract. But when he became a millionaire and his father still didn't hear from him, Chen Mo realized that what his father said about making enough money was probably not in millions. Maybe it's a number that Chen Mo could never imagine before!
Only then did Chen Mo know that his father, who was always very mysterious and often had sorrow and vicissitudes on his face, was carrying things that he could not imagine. He wanted to help his father, he wanted to help him with the burden. The premise is to work hard to make money and prove your strength and ability.
Jordan patted Chen Mo on the shoulder and said, "Why did you choose to play? You have many ways to make money." ā
Chen Mo pursed her lips and was silent for a while, as if she was coming out of some heavy emotions just now. After a while, he spoke, "Actually, I just wanted to try. If I can get a contract, at least I won't starve to death for the time being, and I can go and do other things. ā
"Hah!" Jordan laughed, "Then you've made it now, you've not only got a contract, you've got a championship ring, why are you trying so hard to win the next contract this summer?"
This time, Chen Mo said with paranoia and anger, "I haven't shut up the people who laugh at me, how can I just leave casually? If I leave this summer, and then let those damn trolls have more reason to laugh at me?" Looking at his previous arrogance, it seems really ridiculous now. āā
Chen Mo imitated the tone of those trolls and made Jordan laugh, and he saw Chen Mo more and more pleasing to the eye.
"At least I'm going to get those trolls to shut their mouths and let them know that I'm not something they can look down on, and I'm going to slap them in the face. Other than that...... Well, that's pretty much it. Chen Mo was a little embarrassed and didn't continue.
Jordan originally thought that Chen Mo would say something because of love or faith, but Jordan has seen too many teenagers who have said these things over the years. And then many of the teenagers who played because of their faith and love quickly withered after entering the rotten world of the NBA. Still others waste their talent in college and then can't even get in the NBA.
At least Chen Mo was honest enough, and his reasons were recognized by Gang Master Qiao, and he decided to come every morning to help this kid polish his skills. Originally, he just wanted to come and see it, and then gave him the number 23 shirt as a motivation.
"What else is the reason?"
"Uh......" Chen Mo was a little embarrassed, but then he said, "Originally, I just played for fun, but I found that I liked the feeling of receiving cheers and victories. Moreover, it is easier to soak in the ball to get a girl. ā
"Haha!" Jordan laughed, "Your handsome face is very pleasing to girls." Boy, keep it up! The team's training is about to start, I have to go, you have to keep what I've been here a secret, see you tomorrow!"
After saying goodbye to Jordan, Chen Mo continued to practice his dribbling.
In the past year, I have learned a lot by Phil Jackson and Kobe's side, but Phil Jackson, who has never been good at cultivating newcomers, has not helped Chen Mo very much. He has always been cultivated by the Lakers as a substitute for Kobe, but it seems that the Lakers' training of him is a failure.
And by Kobe's side, Chen Mo learned a lot, but he learned a lot of things and was not proficient in anything.
Kobe Bryant has been working hard in the NBA for more than ten years, and he has a very rich arsenal of weapons, Chen Mo also wanted to become a super scorer like Kobe before, but he couldn't do it due to his physical condition. Therefore, Chen Mo has never found his position in the Lakers.
But now, Chen Mo has figured it out for himself, and his physical condition is not enough to support him to become a super scorer like Kobe and Jordan. If he continues to play the number two, he will become a super goalscorer like Reggie Miller and Ray Allen at best. His brain may be able to compensate for his physical deficiencies, but that's not what he wants.
If Chen Mo changes to the No. 1 position, his brain can be used to the greatest extent, and his shooting can also become the biggest threat to the opponent.
Before the team's training began, Chen Mo put away all the dummies used to practice dribbling, and then rested for a while, waiting for the start of today's training. He's already thinking about asking Larry Brown for the No. 1 spot and then shocking those guys in internal training.
Chen Mo began to practice shooting again, and at this time, his teammates also came to the training hall one after another. No one greeted him as if there was no such thing.
After coming to Charlotte, Chen Mo obviously felt that the atmosphere in the Bobcats' locker room was much worse than that of the Lakers. Although he is also a fringe figure with the Lakers, at least he has a lot of communication with his teammates, and everyone often jokes. And Bobcat, he wanted to get on good terms with his teammates, but he didn't bother with him at all.
At first, Chen Mo thought that this was the difference between the winning team and the losing team, but now he understands that there are many reasons for this. The difference between the Lakers and the Bobcats is not just in terms of record.
However, such an environment also made Chen Mo understand the importance of strength, if he still had the aura of the year above his head, I am afraid that these people would not ignore him when he took the initiative to show favor.
Now, Chen Mo will no longer use his hot face to stick to his cold ass, and when he shows enough strength, someone will naturally come to slap him.
Today is the beginning of his rise!
