After a hasty dinner with his parents, Chamberlain made a phone call with Rina Asada, and lay down on the bed. www.biquge.info It was only eight o'clock in the evening, and for most people, the great nightlife had just begun, but Chamberlain had to recharge his batteries, because tomorrow was the day he reported to the team.

At six o'clock the next morning, Chamberlain woke up on time under the reminder of the alarm clock, and he didn't sleep well that night, but he still took the bus to the Spurs' home stadium, which is now called SBC Center.

Chamberlain thought he had come early enough, but it was already very lively. The team's staff has already started their work, and several players whose names he doesn't know have started practice on the pitch.

Chamberlain knew that these people were homeless people seeking a contract, and most of them would not succeed, but this still made him feel the urgency from the bottom of his heart: "It turns out that they are all working so hard! It seems that I should be more diligent!"

Then he got up at five o'clock the next morning, rushed to the SBC Center Court at half past five, and then ..... Then he saw that the arena was not open!

This story tells us that fairy tales are all lies, and Kobe's so-called Los Angeles sun at half past five in the morning is actually his show off to get the key to the door......

Chamberlain trained with his temporary teammates for more than a week here, mainly with some simple tactical coordination, and group confrontation or something. Because he has signed with the Spurs, Chamberlain has been given preferential treatment here, he has become the team's main center, and he has also been given a certain degree of tilt in terms of tactics.

Therefore, Chamberlain has had a lot of opportunities to perform in the past few days, giving full play to his advantages in terms of speed, and the data is also remarkable. However, his shortcomings are still obvious, and his lack of confrontation has always made him lose his position in defence. Moreover, the tolerance for fouls here is obviously not comparable to the college league, and the ability to make fouls that Chamberlain relied on to survive in college has greatly decreased the threat here.

But Chamberlain was already trying to overcome it, at least he was lucky enough to get that opportunity, wasn't he?

Today is the team's last day of training, and starting tomorrow, they will leave for Las Vegas for the annual Summer League dedicated to fringe players.

As Chamberlain was about to leave with his teammates, the team's assistant coach stopped him.

The assistant coach took him to Popovich's office.

"A no-guarantee contract means you can be fired at any time, you know?" was the first thing Popovich said to Chamberlain as he entered.

Chamberlain nodded hurriedly.

This was the first time Chamberlain had faced Popovich so closely, but the other party's unkind tone and wording made Chamberlain not dare to take a closer look at the specific appearance of this old man. There was no rush to express himself, he decided to listen, he didn't think the manager would talk to him specifically about termination, although it sounded like that.

"I knew when I saw you in training camp that you weren't going to be taken by any team. This is Popovich's second sentence.

Chamberlain nodded again, as if he had grasped something.

Popovich continued: "Then I watched the video of you in college, and I decided to sign you and give up your fellow countryman. Do you know why?"

"You want me to cause someone else to foul at some point, sir. By this time Chamberlain had fully understood why he had been summoned.

"Okay, it seems you're smart! Then I'm asking you to show me your progress during the Summer League and prove to me that I was right about my choice. Popovich finally got the point.

"I'll let you see, sir!"

Despite the bitterness in his heart, Chamberlain still answered firmly. He knew very well that the main thing for him now was to stay here!

Here, Chamberlain was eager to try out the upcoming game, and at home, his parents were also restless about the upcoming game.

"Lun Lun is going to compete, which station can receive it?"

After a tiring day's work and dinner, Chamberlain's mother began fiddling with old televisions she had picked up from the second-hand market.

"I heard that I can't receive it now, and I won't have a TV station until November. ”

Chamberlain's father smoked a dry cigarette and replied with a pensive expression.

"So where can I see Lun Lun's game?"

However, this did not make Chamberlain's mother desperate to see her son.

"I've heard that it works in an Internet café. ”

"Internet café". This place, which was completely unfamiliar to them, made Chamberlain's mother frown: "Why don't we go and see?"

"Do you know how to use a computer?"

refuted Chamberlain's mother, Chamberlain's father suddenly couldn't help but feel a little moved: "I'll ask Xiao Wang and let them take us to see." ”

So Chamberlain's parents went to the Internet café for the first time in their lives, but Xiao Wang was not the only one who was with him, there were dozens of people on the entire construction site, and then they opened a machine.

And then...... Xiao Wang, who is the most skilled in technology, fiddled for a long time, but still couldn't find the broadcast link address of the NBA Summer League.

The so-called take advantage of the prosperity and return the defeat.

"Two dollars for nothing!"

Back in the dormitory, Chamberlain's mother began to complain.

"Do you think we can't do this anymore?"

Chamberlain's father, who had always been full of thoughts, said this suddenly.

"Don't do it? So what are you doing? We can't make a lot of money from farming, so we can't just rely on Lun Lun to make money, he has to save money to buy a house and get married in the United States. ”

To be honest, Chamberlain's mother, while proud of her son's happiness, was always a little worried, because in her understanding, it was not a stable job.

"That's not the case, now Lun Lun is going to be on TV, and we will work here again, isn't that a shame for him?"

Smoke lingered in front of Chamberlain's father's face, but it could not hide his irritated look.

"Yes. ”

This made Chamberlain's mother hesitate: "But what can we do? We don't have any skills, and it's ..... to do a little business."

This may be our parents, who have been looking forward to their children "getting ahead", but when that day comes, they are worried that the embarrassing family background will make the children's faces dull.

It was another sleepless night for Chamberlain's parents! They always had a heart to, but rarely for themselves.
