Chapter Thirty-Eight: Basketball! It's a part of my life
Seeing Tiger sleeping, Jessica's nose was sour, she escaped from Tiger's room, came to the living room, picked up the phone, and dialed Andy's phone, Andy went to Denver after Jessica came to Los Angeles, where he had very important things to solve, but he had been worried about Tiger, and left someone to pay attention to the situation, Jessica's arrival, he could finally find time to come to Denver to deal with Jason's affairs, just now he had received the news, he even knew more than Jessica, he had his own channels, Although not all, he already knew about Sterling and Tiger showing up in the Clippers' locker room with a few women when they clashed.

"Hey! Andy? I'm Jessica. ”
"Yes, Jessica, I already know, don't worry! I'll be back to Los Angeles tomorrow, I'll take care of it, what's going on with Tiger? ”
"Andy, you're going to submit a trade request to the Clippers when you come back tomorrow! Tiger is so tired here, the exhaustion that comes from my heart is too much for me to bear. ”
"I see, don't worry! It's so late, you should rest early! ”
Jessica hung up Andy's phone, sitting alone in the living room, tears flowed uncontrollably, she was just a mother, she just hoped that her children could get a happy life and a healthy body, Jessica picked up the phone next to her and dialed Mike Stevens in New York, at this time Stevens had gone to bed, heard the phone ring, and said 'hey' in a daze.
"Mike, what should I do? I didn't want to cry, but I couldn't control myself, and I now regret letting Tiger choose basketball in the first place. ”
"Jessica? Is Jessica you? Don't cry yet, tell me what's going on? Stevens woke up from sleep.
"I don't know, I don't know what's going on? I only know that my Tiger is so tired, he is really tired, we used to have a very hard time, he started to help people in the community at the age of 7, saving his own pocket money, he started playing basketball at the age of 10, when he first trained, it was difficult to raise his hands to eat when he was tired, he was so tired that he sat on the ground and couldn't get up, he had a warm and happy smile, he never felt tired, he was always so confident, but today I saw him falling asleep there, I didn't need to say anything, but I felt that he was saying to me, 'Mom, I'm so tired.' , so tired, so tired. 'My Tiger isn't like that, woo! My Tiger is not like that! ”
"Jessica you need to take a hot shower now, then get some sleep, I'll be there for you when you wake up tomorrow, don't worry! I'll be there tomorrow morning, and we'll get your Tiger back together. Stevens tried to reassure Jessica and began to prepare for the next day's trip to Los Angeles, where he needed to catch his first flight.
The next morning, Tiger was woken up on time by his biological clock, after getting up, the whole head felt very heavy, Tiger remembered that last night, he didn't take a shower in time and blew the wind, maybe he had a cold, but it shouldn't be serious, so he ran for a while, sweated and took a hot bath, obviously much better, came to the restaurant, and saw Jessica prepare hot porridge for him, which was the only Chinese food Jessica learned to make with Zhang Hong.
Tiger and Jessica said good morning, and sat down to drink some mushy hot porridge, the porridge is hot and cold, and asked with Jessica's cooking characteristics, I have to say that Jessica's cooking talent is really poor, I have learned many times, porridge is always this taste, the omelette is always half mushy, half raw, it is the kind of mother's taste that Tiger is familiar with, it is not delicious, but it is very sweet and warm, Tiger feels that his nose is a little sour, Jessica's biggest hobby is to sleep lazy, she always says that sleeping lazy is the best beauty method, according to the temperature of the porridge, Apparently Jessica got up early in the morning and prepared it specifically for him. Unbeknownst to him, Jessica hadn't slept all night.
"Tiger, you haven't complimented me on my cooking! Don't you always say that what I make is better than what Zhang makes? I haven't seen Zhang for a long time, I don't know how she's been doing lately......" Jessica looked at Tiger with her head down and eating porridge, she felt that the air she breathed was very depressed by this quiet atmosphere, so she kept looking for topics, wanting to make Tiger feel better and forget about yesterday's unpleasantness.
"Tiger, in fact, it's not bad to change jobs, you like basketball, I don't object, you can change to a basketball coach, I think it's not bad to find a school to be a basketball coach, so that there is a fixed rest time, so that you have time to walk around with me, maybe you can learn to drive!" ……”
Jessica finally couldn't hold back, Tiger is actually a very simple person, there is only basketball in his world, for his beloved basketball, he has no time to socialize, no time to have a girlfriend, and no time to even learn to drive, which is fantastical and unimaginable in the eyes of Americans, but now Jessica feels that basketball can no longer bring him happiness, Jessica doesn't care what kind of achievements he can achieve, just wants him to live a happy and healthy life.
"Mom!" Tiger interrupted Jessica's words, his eyes were blood-red, and he looked at Jessica and said seriously: "You said, you taught me that the path you have chosen is full of thorns, and you have to grit your teeth and go on with tears." I've always taken this as my creed and stuck with boring training, and along the way, I found that I love basketball! Mom, basketball is already a part of my life, I can't give it up, I will continue to walk firmly in the future, out of my tiger. In Washington's basketball life, even if God abandons me, I will never compromise! ”
"But Tiger ......"
"No, but Mom, this is the path I chose, I love basketball, I'm proud to be a basketball player, God is joking with me now, but this is not a reason for me to give up basketball, basketball is not wrong, I don't admit that it's wrong, I won't admit defeat, even if it's ridiculous to stick to it, I have to keep going." Tiger interrupted Jessica, picked up the porridge and drank it, prepared something, and left the house to go to the Clippers' training gym.
Jessica listened to Tiger's words, and it was fake that she was not proud in her heart, her son was the idol of many teenagers across the United States, and they were all using Tiger as the object of imitation, her Tiger was the son of Atlanta, and the whole city was proud of Tiger, her son was a legend of Wake Forest University, who established a dynasty in the NCAA, and Tiger's jersey was retired this year at the Laurence Joel Veterans Memorial Arena. Her son has so many things that she is proud of, but now he is enduring the ordeal, and after seeing Tiger's resolute attitude, Jessica remembers that when Tiger first entered college, some of the ideas in her heart may be time to come true.
