Standing in the unique grass-green arena, Chamberlain looked up at the flag-like flags that fluttered in the TD Garden Arena with a sense of history and represented the glorious past, and kept in mind the legends that the owners of these jerseys created and now evolved into miracles. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 It was November 23, 2004, and the SuperSonics had just experienced a losing game away against the sinking giants Celtic.

Since Larry Bird's retirement, the Celtics have been a team struggling with more than half of the winning rate, and this season's Celtics are even more old, weak, sick and disabled.

Point Guard: Gary Payton, born in 1968, Scoring Guard: Ricky Davis, born in 1979, one of the top ten dunkers in the NBA, ranked third behind Carter and Kobe, Small Forward: Paul Pearce, Power Forward: Tom Gugliotta, also a yellow flower of yesterday, he had a brilliant time, but now it is difficult to regain the courage of the past, Center: Lavrenz, a former scout who has been plagued by injuries.

In the opening game, Mourning jumped to beat Lavrenz, Ray Allen got the ball on the basketball, assisted Lewis to take the lead, and then turned back to the Celtics' offense, Payton dribbled the ball across the half court to Pierce.

Pierce broke through the bag between Lewis and Ray Allen with a back shot, and Chamberlain hurriedly made up for it. Sinking to the side, Pierce's shoulders jumped hard against Chamberlain.

Chamberlain was concentrating on predicting where Pierce might be shooting, but a sentence suddenly popped into his mind: "What is your Japanese name?"

And that wasn't all Chamberlain's poor performance, as a low-level error followed by a Ridno outside pass that shook off Tom Gugliotta's cut to the basket and smashed the basketball into his shin during the dribble, giving the Celtics a chance to break fast

Meanwhile, at Yao Ming's Houston home, the game was broadcast live on television. Seeing Chamberlain's performance, Yao Ming in front of the TV weakly sunk his tall body into the special sofa.

"Akiko, what's wrong with you?"

Yao's mother, who came back from walking, saw her son's frowning appearance, and hurriedly walked over and asked with concern.

"It's okay Mom, where's my dad?"

Yao Ming, who was engrossed, realized that his mother had returned, and quickly struggled to sit up straight from the sofa.

"In the back, I'll be over in a moment. This is Aaron, this kid is very handsome. ”

Chamberlain made another mistake, and the camera gave him a close-up of his face, just as Yao's mother followed her son's gaze and turned her head.

"What are you doing here? Eh, you even watch basketball games?"

Seeing that his wife and children were in the living room, Yao's father, who had just entered the door, was a little surprised, one did not go to training, and the other had the leisure to watch a basketball game, which is rare.

"Can you just watch it? I seem to be showing up a lot more than someone who claims to be a fan. ”

Yao's mother glanced at Yao's father with a prickly look, she was too lazy to talk to her wife, turned her head and went upstairs.

"Aaron's game, this kid has stirred up a lot of waves recently!"

Seeing his wife go upstairs, Yao's father sat on the other side of the sofa and watched the game.

"yes, he's very talented, much higher than me and the others. ”

When Yao Ming said this, there was a bitterness in his heart that was difficult to describe.

"Why didn't you go to training, how have you been with that Maddie lately?"

Athletes who want to make a difference always leave early and return late, and it is difficult to get the opportunity to spend time with their families during the competition. I hadn't chatted with my son for a long time, so Yao's father took advantage of this to ask some questions that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"Fortunately, Maddie's skills are very good, maybe the time is too short, and the cooperation between us is not very tacit. ”

The vast majority of teams will go through a period of pain after bringing in new players, especially core players, and few players will be able to lead the team to indomitable momentum like Nash, and the Rockets are now at this stage.

"Dad, I want to ask you something. ”

Yao Ming, who was full of guilt in his heart, couldn't help the intricate entanglement anymore. When we were eighteen or nineteen years old, we couldn't realize the wisdom of our elders to survive, but when we struggled in society for a period of time and experienced many setbacks, looking back, it turned out that before some things happened, our elders had predicted similar results.

"It's Aaron's business, right? ”

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, from a newborn baby, he has grown into a tall giant, and he has not been out of his sight of the child's boredom, Yao's father is clear in his heart.

"I don't know, I just feel sorry for him, after all, it's because of my self-righteousness that he has not yet played his position, and he has been harassed by those people. I'm really sad to see him in this state, and I'm very worried that it will ruin him. He's really talented, and everybody says he's absolutely going to surpass anyone as long as nothing happens. ”

With his head lowered and the two of them covering their heads tightly, the frustration and confusion of the little giant were overflowing.

"Zhang, what's wrong with you lately? Is it because of those reporters?"

The first half of the game was over, and in the visiting team's dressing room, McMillan crouched in front of Oxlade-Chamberlain, looking at him with concern and asking.

Throughout the first half, the SuperSonics trailed the Celtics by 4 points, the core center Chamberlain made mistakes again and again, completely lost, and Ray Allen felt cold, shooting two of 9, and there was no such devastating and devastating furious energy at the beginning of the season.

"I'm sorry coach, I'm in a mess and I can't concentrate. ”

There is a limit to everything, and everything that has happened in the past few days has completely attacked Chamberlain's unstable mental defense.

"It doesn't matter Zhang, you are only 19 years old, and you will always face such and such troubles when you grow up, I just hope you can come out as soon as possible. Okay, you rest in the second half, don't care about the game, tell me when you feel like you can play, tell me whenever you want, and I'll let you play at any time, even if it's the finals, because in my heart you're the best!"

"Dad, I have to help Aaron, otherwise I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!"

At the start of the second half of the game, Chamberlain sat on the bench with a white towel over his head, and no one could see his expression at this time.

The little giant, who really understood the whole story, saw this picture on TV, and his lips trembled twice excitedly, as if he had suddenly made up his mind.

"Make up your own mind, just have a clear conscience. ”

Yao's father stood up, patted the child's shoulder, which was much thicker than his own, and sighed softly.

Where righteousness lies, how many people have been ruined on it, and how many people have been immortalized because of this!

Right and wrong are left to be judged, but everything is just a clear conscience.
