Chapter 114: Yi Jianlian's Past (Seventh Update!) )
After the game, Sun Hao went down to the venue again to congratulate Yi Jianlian.
Although this data is not a superstar in the high school league, it is definitely at the level of a five-star high school student.
And you must know that this is only his sophomore season of high school (four years of high school in the United States, and Yi Jianlian transferred when he came in).
"Before I came, I heard that you didn't play well here, this is not nonsense, if you continue to play like this, I think you can go to the NBA after high school!"
Sun Hao was full of excitement.
His words were not without reason.
In history, Yi Jianlian was 23 years old when he went to the NBA because of the change of age.
Although it was not exposed at the time, the player's body will gradually decline with age.
Now Yi Jianlian is different from history, he came to the United States in advance and played in American high schools.
Imagine that he entered the NBA at the age of 18 or 19, and with his talent, the performance he played would definitely be different from what he did in history.
Even has the experience of high school and even college in the United States, he learned English well in advance, his playing style is more changeable, and it is inevitable that he will be better if he gets rid of bad problems.
Even, in history, Yi Jianlian's "20-year-old" was selected by the 6th pick, and the younger one, pick another draft year, it is not a dream to protect five and fight for three.
Sun Hao shook his head.
He found himself thinking a little far ahead.
The premise for doing all of this is that Yi Jianlian's performance in American high schools and colleges is good enough, otherwise the draft prospects may deteriorate.
Yi Jianlian scratched his head a little shyly.
He did play more ordinarily before, that is, tonight, maybe because Sun Hao came, his game felt very good.
"Sun, you're here!"
While chatting, Sun Hao heard a passionate voice and turned his head to see that it was Bob.
"Coach Bob."
"I've heard about your performance in the NBA, you're making history."
Bob didn't pay attention to Sun Hao before, but after getting to know Sun Hao, he will definitely pay attention to it.
After all, Sun Hao is a big celebrity at Sierra Leone Canyon School!
"Thank you for making it so good."
Sun Hao was originally grateful, but Bob smiled and didn't speak, it seemed that something was wrong.
Waiting for Yi Jianlian and his teammates to return to the locker room, Bob pulled Sun Hao aside.
"I was about to go to you, do you have time? Let's go to the office and talk? ”
Sun Hao nodded.
When I arrived at the office and made coffee, Bob chatted with Sun Hao.
The person he talked to was Yi Jianlian.
Yi Jianlian's performance at Sierra Leone Canyon School is indeed not as good as Zhang Weiping said before.
After almost a month of playing, he hasn't scored more than 15 points.
If it's an ordinary high school student, then it's really nothing.
The problem is that Bob expects him to be an NBA player.
But Yi Jianlian's performance did disappoint him.
However, disappointment is disappointment, but he did not give up Yi Jianlian, because he knew that the latter was really talented.
Today's game is the best proof of that.
"During the game, I was curious about why he suddenly played so well, but when I saw you, I seemed to understand that his psychological problems had a big impact on him."
Bob finally made his own judgment.
Psychological problems.
Sun Hao smashed his mouth.
This was mentioned by Bob when Yi Jianlian came to Sierra Leone Canyon School for a trial before.
At that time, he patted his chest and said that he would definitely solve this problem, but now it seems that it is not.
"I see, I'll talk to him."
The last time he went to Long Beach, he felt that Yi Jianlian had something in his heart.
It's just that Yi Jianlian didn't say it at that time, and he didn't ask.
But now that it affects his game and even his career, this knot still has to be opened.
……
"Brother Hao, I'll take you to Chinatown."
Coming out of the locker room, Sun Hao opened his mouth and proposed to Sun Hao.
Chinatown, also known as Chinatown, does not refer to a single street, but a special area formed after the gathering of Chinese, and it is also a witness to the history of overseas Chinese.
There are many Chinatowns in the United States, the most famous of which is New York's Chinatown.
Located in the South Side of Manhattan, it has 45 streets and covers an area of more than 4 square kilometers.
It can't even be called Chinatown, it should be called Chinatown.
Los Angeles, as the second largest city in the United States, naturally has it, but it is relatively small.
Sun Hao nodded, he had been to Chinatown a few times in his previous life.
But at that time, most of the Chinese in Chinatown had left, and it was no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and even a little depressed.
Now, it's the booming era of Chinatown, and he can just go and experience it.
Speaking of the past few months in the United States, he has trained intensively, and he has not gone out very well.
Life can not only be about the training in front of you, but also about goji berries and travel.
When they took a taxi to one of the entrances, they looked up and saw a familiar plaque erecting at the entrance of the street.
And look into the distance.
Red lanterns, red pillars, and a number of eye-catching red Chinese signs.
Chinese red everywhere.
It really felt like going back to China all of a sudden.
"There's also a sculpture of Sun Wen in front."
Yi Jianlian seemed to be in a good mood, although he was outside, he talked a lot.
After walking into Chinatown, Sun Hao heard a lot of familiar voices in his ears.
It's really familiar, he actually heard a lot of Cantonese and Hokkien dialects.
It can even be said that most of them are, and he doesn't hear much Mandarin.
This was very emotional, and he felt like he was back in his hometown for a moment.
"Pretty boy!"
When he heard the shout, he couldn't help but turn his head.
Looking at Yi Jianlian again, his face was slightly red, and he looked a little excited.
Sun Hao suddenly understood why his mood had changed so much when he arrived.
Compared to the environment around him, which is all black and white, and he can't understand it, this place can really make him feel warm.
There are a lot of tourists in Chinatown, and it feels like a busy market.
And there are many restaurants in it, with Cantonese cuisine and Fujian cuisine being the most.
He felt he should go back and find out where Dallas's Chinatown was.
They found a Cantonese restaurant to sit down, and then found a window seat to sit down, eating and chatting.
Talk about the experiences of the two in their respective cities, and also talk about some things in Chinatown.
Seeing that Yi Jianlian was in a good mood, Sun Hao felt that this was the right time.
"UAE, Coach Bob and I had a few conversations, and he said what have you been thinking about in the team, is it a language barrier? Or something else? ”
Sun Hao put down his chopsticks, looked at Yi Jianlian and asked.
"No, no."
Yi Jianlian replied with a smile.
But that kind of smile seems to be reluctant.
Sun Hao knew that he must have something he didn't want to say.
"Just the two of us, what else can't you say."
"I just...... I haven't gotten used to it, and they haven't talked to me much. ”
Yi Jianlian looked down at the dish and said.
"Tell them!"
Sun Hao immediately replied.
It's just that after saying that, he suddenly felt that this was not right.
Yi Jianlian's character, how could he take the initiative to talk to others.
That's a knot.
Sure enough, Yi Jianlian was silent, and stuffed the vegetables into his mouth.
"Allian, do you believe me?"
Sun Hao's tone was gentle.
Yi Jianlian glanced at Sun Hao and nodded.
"Then can you tell me if you experienced anything when you were a child, and if so, say it, and we'll bear it together."
Sun Hao continued.
He knew that in the system, Yi Jianlian's favorability towards him was higher than that of his father.
Yi Jianlian hesitated, but still didn't speak.
The atmosphere was a little solemn.
Long.
"I met a girl named Joselin when I was in Europe, and because of that girl, I had spring dreams."
Sun Hao's next words made Yi Jianlian stunned, and he looked at Sun Hao for a long time without speaking.
Then both of them burst out laughing in unison.
The solemn atmosphere disappeared in one fell swoop.
"Brother Hao, you know, I was very tall when I was a child......"
Yi Jianlian finally opened his mouth.
Sun Hao also heard a long, long story.
It was much longer than the story he had heard Esley tell about Pierce's 11 knives.
When people are children, anyone who has some characteristics will be treated as "outliers".
For example, there is a black classmate, for example, there is a very fat classmate, and for example, Yi Jianlian said...... Very high classmates.
When Sun Hao first met Yi Jianlian, he was already 1.8 meters.
Don't compare the height of this era with the era of Sun Hao's previous life.
That kind of height, in those days, was really different.
Especially in southern areas like Guangdong.
And Yi Jianlian was still very thin at that time.
As a result, he was always bullied by his classmates.
For example, the chalkboard eraser that flew from nowhere, such as the extra pieces of mango peel left over from the drawer......
In short, there are many pranks, and Yi Jianlian is the object of the pranks.
Don't think that being tall can fight back, at the age of a child, whoever is more naughty is the boss, and then there are a bunch of little followers.
More people is the advantage.
At that time, the eldest in Yi Jianlian's class was from another place, named Zhao Xiaojun, the son of a contract foreman, who had a lot of pocket money.
That day, Yi Jianlian accidentally knocked over his cup.
Without waiting for him to explain, Zhao Xiaojun threw him a cruel sentence.
"Don't leave after school."
Yi Jianlian left directly after school, he didn't want to clash with Zhao Xiaojun.
But it is clear that Zhao Xiaojun will not just let him go.
He was soon blocked outside the school gate by Zhao Xiaojun and others.
There wasn't much of a greeting at all, and the crowd was punching and kicking him around.
They wanted to do this for a long time, because they felt that Yi Jianlian had not responded to their behavior, and he was a good bully.
Then Yi Jianlian began to resist.
He just doesn't like to provoke, but he's not afraid of fighting.
Soon, he began to gain the upper hand with his tall man, and the children began to scatter and flee, and he also caught Zhao Xiaojun.
After being bullied so much, he had already held back a deep resentment in his heart, and he punched and kicked Zhao Xiaojun.
Then, Zhao Xiaojun suddenly fell to the ground and began to roll his eyes and foam at the mouth.
"I thought I might have killed someone."
Although so much time has passed, he can still feel his fear from Yi Jianlian's tone.
ps: I've been looking for a biography of the United Arab Emirates, but unfortunately I didn't find it, and Baidu couldn't find his experience as a child, so I made some necessary fictions, citing an experience in O'Neill's autobiography. Well, I've always said that I don't fan any stars, because I haven't really been in contact with them, but the United Arab Emirates, especially after Yao Ming retired, I didn't lose a single game in his national team, just like last year's game against Nigeria, he gave everything he had and deserved all the praise, so if you want to say that the only fan is him.
