"Congratulations, hot, you won this game." Jeremy Lin said with a somewhat lost expression.

"You're so polite, Lin, you're terrible tonight, you're almost finished with us." Tang Qian has always had a good impression of Jeremy Lin, and any yellow-skinned person on the professional basketball court deserves respect.

Because everyone knows that the current professional basketball field is the territory of the black race, and the white race may be able to join in and play, but the yellow race is almost extinct. It can even be said that there are only a handful of them throughout the ages.

So for Jeremy Lin, Tang Qian has a respect.

"So what?" Jeremy Lin shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "If you lose, you lose, this is a basketball game, there is always only one winner, isn't it?" ”

To be honest, Jeremy Lin's stats tonight are very eye-catching, with 28 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists, and an absolute triple-double. It's a pity that Tang Qian on the opposite side is even better, with 30 points, 24 rebounds, and 12 blocks, this kind of 20+20 results, even if it is placed in the NBDL league, it is outstanding.

"Maybe that's how it will be in my life, never want to be a winner, never want to achieve my dreams......"

Hearing Jeremy Lin's whispering, Tang Qian suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Lin, don't be discouraged, God is always watching you, maybe in the near future, you will be able to become famous overnight and realize your dream of professional basketball." ”

"Hot, are you also a Christian?" Jeremy Lin asked.

"Ho~ I'm not, but you have to believe it, believe in God, right?" Tang Qian shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Living your dream of professional basketball? How can it be so easy, I won't hide it from you, hot, I sometimes even wonder if yellow people shouldn't play basketball at all. ”

"You don't have to think like that, dream dreams, the first step to achieve them is to think first, don't you? Tang Qiandao.

"Hot, you don't understand, what kind of treatment the yellow race is like in the NBA." Jeremy Lin said: "I thought that joining the NBA would be the fulfillment of my dream, but look at my professional performance? With less than 9.8 minutes of playing time, 2.6 points and 1.4 assists, this is almost a dispensable marginal person! It may be that Tang Qian's complexion makes him feel kind, or it may be that Jeremy Lin has been suppressed for too long, in short, tonight, he poured out his heart to a "stranger" that he has not revealed for a long time.

"Hot, in just half a month, I was cut twice by two different teams, and finally signed with the New York Knicks, but I was sent to the NBDL after not playing a few games...... Hot, I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, maybe the New York Knicks are ready to give up my contract. Jeremy Lin's voice became lower and lower, and he said, "Who can help me in this situation?" ”

"Yes, someone will help you." Tang Qian said.

"Really? Hot, you should say it and listen to it, comfort and perfunctory words, I've heard enough. Jeremy Lin looked incredulous.

“God。” Tang Qian replied succinctly.

……………………

On January 25, 2012, the defenders did not play on this day, and after everyone had finished their daily training, they packed their bags and prepared to go home. Only Tang Qian, who lives in the Toyota Sports Center, continues to practice.

At about 9 o'clock in the evening, when it was almost 10 o'clock, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Tang Qian's training.

Tang Qian frowned, put down the basketball, walked over to open the door, and said, "Who?" ”

"Excuse me, you're hot, you're hot, right?" As soon as Tang Qian opened the door, there was a bald old man with white stubble standing outside the door. This is said to be an old man, but in fact, his skin is not loose, and his waist is straight, and his eyes are bright, as if he can penetrate people's hearts.

Tang Qian looked at this person slightly, frowned and asked, "I'm sorry sir, we don't seem to know each other, right?" ”

"Ho, hot, you don't know me, I know you, the NBDL's rebounding king and blocking king this season, by the way, that night's empty catch was handsome~"

"Sir, I would like to correct a little bit about you, this season is just over halfway through, there is no rebounding king and block king, in professional basketball, as long as the season is not over, then everything is possible."

"Makes sense, makes sense." The bald old man clapped his hands in agreement and said, "It seems that your mind is also higher than I expected, not bad, not bad." ”

"Who are you? This is the exclusive training gym for the Los Angeles Defenders, and if you're going to have nothing to do, sir, I'm going to keep practicing. Tang Qian didn't have the kung fu to talk to people, and half of tonight's training sessions were still not completed, and he was in a hurry to go back and continue to practice.

"Oh, wait, wait, young man, I'm not done yet." The bald old man said.

"Then please speak quickly, sir." Tang Qiandao.

"You're still practicing alone so late, it looks like you're very diligent!"

"What exactly are you trying to say? Please don't waste my time practicing. Tang Qian was a little unhappy.

"Well, young man, my name is Ivanka. Dukan, is a potential scout and the Chicago Bulls' international scouting director. The bald old man introduced himself.

"Scouts? Chicago Bulls? Tang Qian's mind was stunned, and then he said in a daze: "So, you are a scout in the NBA?" ”

"Yes, that's it." Ivanka. Dukan said with a smile.

After a ten-minute conversation, Tang Qian finally figured out Ivanka. The meaning of Dukan coming.

"You, you're saying that the Bulls want to pick me? Choose me Tang Qian? Tang Qian said a little dreamlikely.

"Hmm." Ivanka. Dukan nodded and said, "To be precise, I want to choose you in next year's draft." ”

"Really, really?" Tang Qian felt that "happiness" came a little suddenly, and he was a little caught off guard.

"Of course it's true." Ivanka. Dukan smiled and said, "We expect to sign you with a first-round pick. ”

"First, first?" Tang Qian was really a little moved, he thought that he would have to be in the NBDL for a few more years, but he never thought that the opportunity would come so quickly.

"Yes, I think you're worth the price."

"So, what should I do now? Mr. Dukan? ”

"Continuing to practice, trying to improve yourself and trying to produce good stats at the end of the season is an essential report card for a lot of 'professionals'."

"I understand." Tang Qian nodded.

"Also, in a few days there will be a small tryout in Los Angeles, which the Bulls commissioned me to organize, and I hope you will be on time for that time." Ivanka. Dukan Road.

"Don't worry, Mr. Dukan, I won't be late."

"Well, so be it, I've achieved my purpose for coming tonight, and it's time to leave."

"This, this is leaving?" Tang Qian was stunned.

"Or else?" Ivanka. Dukan smiled: "I remember that there were people who were in a hurry just now, thinking that I was delaying his practice time." ”

"No, it's not, I ......"

"Haha, young man, just kidding, just remember to keep your phone unblocked." After that, Ivanka. Du Kan pushed the door open and disappeared from Tang Qian's sight.

After a long time, Tang Qian shouted loudly: "yes! yes！ There are NBA teams that have taken a fancy to me, and there are NBA teams that have taken a fancy to me! Dad, Mom, did you see that? Your son has a chance to play in the highest halls of basketball!! ”

Decades of dreams, two lifetimes of hope, this sudden good news, so that Tang Qian finally couldn't hold back, in the Toyota Sports Center, laughter, roars, alternately, for a long time.

That night, Tang Qian told his parents, Li Qiuping and Cheng Jianguo, the good news.

Tang's father and Tang's mother are nothing, except for being happy, they just remind Tang Qian to pay attention to his body when he goes out, and not to starve and catch a cold.

Li Qiuping and Cheng Jianguo are different, they understand the significance of this news better than Tang's father and Tang's mother.

After hanging up the phone with Tang Qian, Li Qiuping immediately got in touch with Cheng Jianguo.

"Jianguo, this time you may really find Puyu, Xiao Tang's child, the speed of growth is beyond my expectations."

"Haha, Lao Li, how about it, my vision is not bad, Xiao Tang, this child, I can see at a glance that it is not an ordinary material!"

"I originally thought he was going to hone in the NBDL for a few years, but I didn't expect it to be ...... so quickly It seems that some things are going to be dealt with at a faster pace. ”

"What's wrong? Lao Li, is the basketball tube and the basketball association still stuck? ”

"Founding the country, don't you know what kind of set they are? However, the main thing at the moment is the problem of the London Olympics, and they can't let them ruin the entire Chinese men's basketball team because of their own thoughts! ”

"Heh, Lao Li, I didn't say you, in my opinion, this matter hangs. You don't understand the habits of those 'old men', how can you let go so easily? ”

"There is no way, you have also seen the Chinese men's basketball team in the past two years, the older generation is gradually retreating, and the new generation is not able to stand up, and the results of the recent international competitions are embarrassed to be announced, and it has long become a mess. At such a time, a young star in the future can stabilize the expectations of the whole country, you should understand this truth. ”

"So what? Lao Li, even if you convince those 'old men', have you considered the situation of the national team? Suddenly a new star is airborne, what do you think they will think? Anyway, I don't think it's possible to be happy from the bottom of my heart. ”

"Alas, let's take one step at a time, for Chinese basketball, we must always do our part."

"I hope they all understand......"

PS: For the national team, Xiao Zi can only say that Tang Qian basically won't join in, and writing this is just to guide the plot. Today's first shift, there is another shift before 12 o'clock in the evening, I hope you will support Xiaozi and Tang Qian, thank you~~~
