"Wang Cheng, Clarkson, Zaire, I've heard about you, now tell me what's going on? Who allowed you to make such a bet? Wharton said with a frosty face.

The three of them lowered their heads one after another, this kind of gambling was unruly for whatever reason.

The next time, Wang Cheng, Clarkson, and Zaire were brought to the conference room, and Wharton questioned the three separately.

······

"So, Zaire, you can't say exactly when and on what occasion Wang Cheng said those words that look down on the Philippines, right?"

"He... He really said... I just can't remember it. Zaire explained humbly.

Wharton didn't say anything to retort, but his disgust for Zaire was already evident from his expression.

At this time, the matter is basically clear, Wang Cheng and Larkson have shaken hands on the side, and at this time they are only waiting for the results of the team's top management.

After a few minutes of discussion, Wharton announced the team's penalty plan.

"First of all, your bet contract has no legal effect, and the team is punishing you based on your actions."

Wharton first explained that the bet was not used as a penalty reference, which made Zaire often breathe a sigh of relief and saw the hope of staying with the team.

"Clarkson, you were deceived, but you didn't act aggressively, and you didn't propose the gamble. However, you still participate in the game, so you deduct three days of your salary. ”

Clarkson nodded and accepted the punishment.

"Wang Cheng, you seem to be the most innocent one in the process, but you are too impulsive to accept the bet."

Looking at the earnest Wharton, Wang Cheng was noncommittal, but if he did it all over again, he would still accept the bet.

But Wharton's next sentence almost scared the hell out of Wangcheng.

"You don't have to play in the next summer league."

“？？？” Wang Cheng's eyes widened suddenly.

"Coach!" Clarkson was also in a hurry.

"What's the hurry, listen to me. Wangcheng, given your good performances, the team has decided to sign you to a guaranteed one-year contract. During the period of suspension, polish your fundamentals and hope to see you differently in the preseason. At the end of Wharton's words, he couldn't hold back his laughter, he just wanted to scare Wang Cheng.

"Coach, you have to finish your words, you are going to be scared out of heart disease." Wang Cheng complained.

"As for you, Zaire." Turning his head to look at Wharton in Zaire, his tone instantly became much colder.

"I... I know it's wrong and hopefully the management will give me another chance! "Zaire knew that the lie had been seen through and began to beg for mercy.

"Not only do you want to sow discord among the players in the team, but you also want to use despicable means to expel newcomers from the team, and even racially discriminate against the king! Don't think that others can't see those despicable thoughts in your heart! ”

The more Wharton spoke, the more angry he became, his eyes blazing: "The team management has unanimously decided to expel you from the team, and you won't have to go to work tomorrow." ”

The matter finally came to an end, and Wang Cheng and Clarkson walked out of the conference room together.

Brother Qiu and others immediately gathered around to inquire about the situation, and congratulated Wang Cheng when they learned that the matter was successfully over.

Wang Cheng was given another week off to return to the team to sign a contract after the summer league was all over.

Just as Wang Cheng was packing his luggage and preparing to leave the locker room, a deep and not kind voice called out to him.

"Hey, Wang, interesting Chinese kid~" The owner of the voice turned out to be magician Johnson.

"Hello general manager! Is there anything you want me to do? Wang Cheng said respectfully, while curiously looking at the blessed bald head in front of him.

Don't look at the way this man looks like he is now, he was a powerful figure back then.

His great achievements can even be written in "Dragon Mother Body":

Standing in front of you is the iconic figure of the NBA who led the era of the "Black and White", the undisputed all-time No. 1 point guard, the five-time champion, the youngest Finals MVP in NBA history, and the pioneer of the Lakers Showtime, Elvin Nationals' father-in-law Johnson.

Such a legendary figure was now standing in front of him with a smile on his face, and Wang Cheng suddenly felt like a dream had come true.

"Don't be so inhibited, just call me Erwyn. I came to you today to tell you that I had already talked to Kobe about dinner, and he was very willing to see you, and said that your defense has a trace of his demeanor back then. The magician laughed.

When Wang Cheng heard this, he was excited and embarrassed, excited that Dokobe actually knew him, and ashamed that his idol was really as "arrogant" as rumored.

"You write down his mobile phone number, contact him to determine the time, and by the way, also remember mine, you can also ask me any questions."

"Thank you so much." Wang Cheng hurriedly took out his mobile phone.

"Hurry up, do a good job of practicing the basics, especially your passing, my God, my grandma is better dressed than you." The magician teased.

Wang Cheng smiled and nodded in response.

······

At six o'clock in the evening, Wang Cheng arrived at the airport and waited for the plane to Los Angeles.

Out of boredom, Wang Cheng took out his mobile phone and flipped through his "own" photo album.

There are photos of myself and my parents.

There are photos with my teammates when I was in college.

There was also a photo in Chinatown that caught the attention of Intramuros.

In the photo, a kind middle-aged uncle puts his right hand on his shoulder, and his left hand holds a reluctant girl.

This is the family of "Wangcheng" in the United States.

In my memory, "Wang Cheng" has been staying in a relatively wealthy overseas Chinese family as an international student.

It's been four years since my freshman year.

It was a single-parent family, with a father and a frail daughter who was now a freshman.

Wang Cheng hadn't been back for a long time, and now he plans to take advantage of the holiday to go back and see if there is no place where he needs his help.

"Since I have inherited your opportunity, I will naturally not evade the responsibility you need to bear."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host Wangcheng for winning the heads-up battle and successfully completing the special mission: [Earn Respect]. Quest completion reward: $200w. ”

The system prompt sound came suddenly, but it gave Wang Cheng the feeling of a spring breeze.

200w！

This means that he can greatly improve his strength again.

"First buy the [Mad Dog Mode] that I have in mind, and upgrade the [Butterfly Wears Flowers], Meizizi~"

If you want to do it, Wang Cheng immediately called out the skill mall, and first spent 50w to buy the advanced skill [Mad Dog Mode].

[Mad Dog Mode] Lv1: Beverly's signature skill, strength, speed, and agility are greatly increased under high concentration, lasting 1 minute, but it consumes a lot of stamina.
