Chapter 8: Bruce Bowen
"It's really not ordinary dilapidated, it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time, why can't people clean it up a little?"
In a dilapidated looking apartment building not far from the Chicago United Training Camp, Lin Han complained a little unpleasantly as he looked at his dusty bed.
In order to enter this training camp, he stuffed 10,000 US dollars into the training camp director, and in the end, not only was he assigned to Bowen's group when he was on the side of the training camp, but he was completely blown up by Bowen, and now, he still lives in such a humble apartment, no matter from all aspects, this is a typical example of only taking money and not doing things, so Lin Han is now scolding the director who received his money in his heart.
It's just that what Lin Han doesn't know is that in the eyes of the director, Bowen is already one of the worst in this training camp in terms of physical condition, if Lin Han is assigned to the penny Hardaway group, then it really belongs to only taking money and not working, as for being assigned to this apartment that seems to have not lived for a long time, there is no way, the players who can be invited here over the years are basically some talented players, These talented players basically already have their own agents at this time, and even rookies like Hardaway and Webb already have their own private teams, so will players like them lack the money to live here in the humble apartments provided by the government? In the past, the official also provided some good apartments, but the final result was that no one lived in them at all, not only because the players disliked the poor apartments provided by the officials, but also because they needed some nightlife of their own, and they didn't want to continue to be managed like college or high school, so even if some rookies really didn't have much money, they didn't want to live in the dormitory provided by the official for them, so in recent years, they simply made a difference, and they were able to reduce the cost, and no one lived in it anyway.
Therefore, it is not to blame the official for not cleaning up here for a long time, and the official does not think that Lin Han will really live in the apartment they assigned, to put it bluntly, this apartment is just a decoration, and in the past three years, Lin Han is the first person to live in the past three years.
"It's also very good, at least it's close to the training camp, and it's quiet around, there are no nightclubs and bars"
Of course, if Lin Han is the first person to really live in the apartment allocated to them by the government in the past three years, then Bruce Bowen is the second, but for now, Bowen's mentality is much better than Lin Han.
And unlike Lin Han who poured directly on his bed after cleaning up his bed and didn't want to move, Bowen cleaned up the whole room inside and out after cleaning up his bed, and he didn't seem to have any opinion on Lin Han's lazy behavior, and he kept smiling on his face.
Although Lin Han was really lazy at this time, it was not that he was unwilling to do these dirty work, but today he was really tired, he rushed to Chicago from Utah overnight, and after arriving in Chicago, the training camp had actually opened, and he finally walked through the back door, and was asked to participate in the body side when he entered the training camp last, and then suffered a mental blow in the tiring physical test.
Therefore, he just wanted to lie down and rest a little, Lin Han really didn't expect that Bowen would be so caring, and he had already started directly before Lin Han had rested enough, which made Lin Han very moved, this was really a lucky friend when he went out.
"The water has come, wash your feet and go to sleep"
After tidying up the apartment, Bowen walked in with another bucket of water, and it seemed that he was in a good mood at this time.
"Thanks, wow, my feet stink."
Lin Han took off his shoes a little embarrassed, and immediately a large foul smell came, which also made Bowen on the other side laugh.
"Lin, I can see that you haven't been in contact with basketball for a long time, and you haven't received professional basketball training, don't ask me why I know, because most players don't wear shoes like you on the court."
Looking at this Asian kid who is much younger than himself, Bowen doesn't know why he has a sense of intimacy, maybe it's because the relationship with his family is getting worse and worse, so he unconsciously wants to take care of this young man who is a little big, or maybe because this Asian kid is a marginal figure in the basketball world like himself, which can be regarded as a kind of fate.
"Hehe, really counted, I should have only been in contact with basketball for a year, a year ago I didn't know how to dribble, and I didn't even know how many teams there were in the NBA."
Lin Han touched the back of his head a little embarrassed and said, translating for Ma Jian is the beginning of his contact with basketball, and he really received more formal basketball training, it should be a month ago, after he learned Kobe's back-to-back jumper, he practiced this skill under the guidance of Aili almost day and night, and when practicing this skill, Aili also taught him some professional knowledge and skills in basketball, but although Aili taught him a lot of professional things, she didn't teach him what kind of professional equipment to use. As for the previous Utah Valley Community College, although he was also on the school team, and even played every game, but the ghost required him to reach what level of basketball, and he himself had to get by at that time without any initiative, as long as he was a good translator for Ma Jian, the rest, it didn't matter, and even many times, he would wear leather shoes to play, after all, Utah Valley Community College is not a regular school and team, and most of the games played are indifferent games, so there are no too high requirements for these.
This time he came here wearing basketball shoes, which is better than playing basketball in leather shoes, but in the eyes of an expert like Bowen, he can see through Lin Han at a glance.
"Then you're really bold, I think you should be the only guy in NBA draft history who dared to come to the draft after only one year of exposure to basketball, do you have a lot of confidence in yourself?"
In the face of the extremely honest and honest Lin Han, Bruce Bowen also said with some emotion, after playing basketball for a year, a player who can't even get basketball equipment by himself dares to challenge the highest stage of basketball, whether Lin Han is really ignorant or has absolute confidence in himself, he feels incredible, especially when he is on the side, Lin Han's side performance is far worse than his almost worst, which makes him extremely puzzled.
Especially when Bruce Bowen had almost no confidence in whether he could be selected, every time he saw the confidence and fearlessness on Lin Han's face, he would be very touched.
"Of course I'm confident, I'll be able to get into the NBA!"
After saying this sentence excitedly, Lin Han looked at Bowen, who was a little stunned by his extremely confident words, and continued.
"I know I'm weak right now, and I know that there's no one worse than me in the whole training camp, but I still believe that I can end up being an NBA player because I don't have any room to fail, whether it's for life, for my family, and of course, for my dreams, I'm never going to allow me to fail, and I also want to challenge Jordan on the NBA stage, he's my idol and my goal"
For the sake of life, for the sake of his American dream, and for the sake of his family, Lin Han knows that this is his only chance to change all of this fate, even in order to be able to realize his dream of challenging Jordan to become Jordan on the NBA court, he can't fail here, because Ellie said that he only has one chance.
So, it's not his confidence in himself, it's an absolute requirement for himself.
Since getting the basketball legend system, whether it is to change his height and arm span, whether it is to constantly hone himself after learning Kobe's turnaround and back-to-back jumper, whether it is to be able to change his fate, and to say goodbye to his family and come to Chicago alone, all of these have made Lin Han very depressed.
Whether it was facing Ellie who gave him the opportunity to change his fate, or his most beloved eldest sister, he didn't shout out his heart like today, and when Lin Han finally shouted his heart to Bowen, he seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and when he lay on the bed again, he didn't lose sleep because of coming to a new environment, and immediately fell asleep.
However, compared to Lin Han, who snored loudly, Bruce Bowen had insomnia.
"For the dream, for this goal of Jordan?"
Bruce Bowen hasn't thought about what his basketball dream is for a long time, since he fell out with his family because he wanted to continue his basketball career, he doesn't know what he is playing instead, his family doesn't want him to play basketball because it has no future, as for the dream, it has long been just a luxury, since he entered college four years ago, he knew that he couldn't fulfill his basketball dream.
Bowen is like Lin Han, in fact, most young players in the United States have the same dream, which is to stand in front of Jordan and beat Jordan!
Similarly, for most people, they are not even qualified to stand in front of Jordan, and Bowen, like most people, has begun to doubt whether he is qualified to stand in front of Jordan when he entered college.
In the end, until now, he has no idea what he should be playing for, and perhaps continuing his basketball career has become his instinct for life, because now, if he doesn't play basketball, he has no money, and without money, he has no capital to live.
"Maybe he'll really succeed and I'll continue to fail?"
Looking at Lin Han, who had already fallen asleep sweetly, and now his strength was more than ten streets worse than his own, Bowen was completely confused.
