Chapter 562 + Three Jimmy, Have you ever thought your father was Jordan? (2-in-1)
Hip-hop training was full of laughter.
I have to say that this is a double thing.
It trains their body coordination and allows them to relax after regular training.
After the hip-hop training was over, Tang Tian called Carl and asked him to help him find a top yoga teacher.
Here, the training of body coordination begins, and the flexibility part cannot be left behind.
A two-pronged approach, one step at a time.
Yoga originated in India, but it is already a global sport, and there are many yoga masters here in the United States.
It's just that Tang Tian wants to hire someone to train him, which will take some time.
The next day's training was the same as usual, and at the end it was Walker who took the others to do a hip-hop dance.
After the hip-hop practice, Butler found Tang Tian.
"Remember when I said I'm going to take you to see my family? They are available now, do you have time? ”
Butler spoke, and Tang Tian remembered the agreement between the two during the regular season last season.
At that time, he took turns abusing several other hard-working brothers, and he was in good shape, but he played out of style under Butler's defense, and the Pelicans also lost to the Bulls.
The two chatted after the game about Butler's family, and Butler said there was an opportunity to take him home.
"Absolutely."
Tang Tian said with a smile.
Butler's hometown is a small town called Tombal in Houston, and they flew to Houston the next day, and then took a bus to get there.
The car stopped in the town of Tonbal, and they arrived in front of a luxury villa.
"This is what I bought for my family in the summer of 2012."
Butler looked at the villa and said with happiness in his eyes.
Tang Tian nodded, looking at Butler with a hint of appreciation.
In 2012, Butler also played for a year with the Bulls before receiving the first year of his rookie season.
He is the No. 30 show, and his annual salary is only hundreds of thousands of dollars after paying taxes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has everything he has to buy such a villa.
It can be seen that he is very good to his family.
At this time, Tang Tian thought of another person in his mind, "Brother Alphabet" Giannis Antetokounmpo.
When he was in his rookie season, he did something similar, he paid his salary to his family, but he couldn't afford to take a taxi and ran straight back to the stadium.
He appreciates those who know how to be grateful.
Thinking that the two of them had already entered the villa.
There was a husband and wife inside, and two children, the youngest one was only twelve or thirteen years old.
"Jimmy!"
When he saw Butler, the youngest child ran to him.
Butler ran over and picked him up.
The relationship between the two looks much better than that of ordinary brothers.
The following time, Butler introduced the family members to Tang Tian.
The youngest child, Mick Leslie, who rushed to hug him, was called Mick Leslie, and the older one was called Jamal Leslie.
They also have an older brother named Jordan Leslie who works in a bank.
Their mother was named Michelle Lambert and their father was Arnold Leslie.
It was a restructured family, and Lambert and her ex-husband also had four sons, all of whom were also working.
It's really a big family.
But after Butler's introduction, Tang Tian found one thing, there seems to be no one named Butler in this family.
Whether it is Lambert's ex-husband or her current husband, he is not surnamed Butler.
And Butler called Lambert Michelle, which is obviously an honorific title.
Tang Tian went through a lot, and he soon realized that Lambert was not Butler's biological mother.
When I realized this, things seemed to get a little contradictory.
Butler says he's going to take him to see his family, only to bring a home that isn't his real mother, but they seem to be on good terms.
After dinner, Tang Tian and Butler sat in the courtyard behind the villa to rest.
"They are not my real parents, but they are my parents in my eyes."
Perhaps noticing the doubts in Tang Tian's eyes, when the two were alone, Butler took the initiative to speak.
Tang Tian nodded.
He'd heard some rumors about Butler that he was Jordan's illegitimate son or something, and that didn't seem to be groundless now.
"What about your parents?"
Tang Tian then asked.
Butler shook his head.
"Maybe it's good, maybe it's on the streets, maybe it's dead, I don't know, I don't care."
Contrary to his attitude towards the Lamberts, Butler said this with a look of indifference and even a hint of hatred in his eyes.
This made Tang Tian even more puzzled.
"My father left my family when I was born, and my mom kicked me out of the house when I was 13 just because she thought I was ugly and she made me a street child."
After Butler finished saying this, Tang Tian also understood why Butler said that earlier.
Although there are few cases of husbands abandoning their wives, it is a bit appalling that the mother kicked her 13-year-old son out of the house because of his ugliness.
You must know that mother's love is the greatest, and as the saying goes, a mother is not ugly.
Butler's childhood experience is really not ordinary!
"It was Michelle who adopted me."
Butler then told Tang Tian his story.
Butler, who has become a homeless child, sees basketball as the most important part of his life.
That's why he trains so hard.
What is born like this, but he must be so.
The so-called endurance body is only forced to be slowly trained in order to survive.
Hard training allowed him to make his mark in high school, and that's when Jordan Leslie got his eye on him.
Lellis was a star player in high school at the time, a football and basketball star, and he approached Butler for a three-point shooting game.
The result was unexpected, and Leslie, who was a star player, lost to Butler.
While Leslie was surprised, he also became friends with Butler.
After learning about Butler's condition, he invited Butler to his home to play games and spend the night.
Lambert was divorced from her ex-husband at the time, and she was raising seven children with her current husband, Arnold Leslie, and was also under great financial pressure.
And the rumors that Butler was not good at the time were that he was a problem boy.
Finally Arnold told his children that Butler could stay, but only as a friend for one or two nights.
It was Arnold's helplessness, but his children ran to Arnold seven days a week, saying "It's my turn to entertain tonight."
After a few months, Arnold finally relented, accepting Butler as part of the family.
But after that, Lambert and Arnold also set the rules for Butler, who had to do housework, go to school and do well academically.
Most importantly, Lambert told Butler that he had to be a role model for the other seven children.
Butler did it all.
His childhood experiences made him look incredibly strong inside, and he didn't even do it even perfectly.
The word effort began in him as a child and has accompanied him throughout his life.
Through his high school efforts, he entered the Taylor Youth Academy in the Texas NCAA Division II League;
Through his year at Taylor Youth College, he was favored by Marquette University and eventually transferred;
He worked hard at Marquette University to play from the bench to the core;
He worked hard to help Marquette reach the NCAA Tournament and eventually knock on the door of the NBA.
The boy who had already left for the training ground at four o'clock in the morning was extremely strong in his heart.
This is the end of Butler's story, and Tang Tian is involved in the rest of the part.
Tang Tian felt a lot after listening to it, which made him feel more emotional than Leonard's story before.
To put it mildly, if it weren't for basketball or the Lamberts, Butler might be a homeless man right now.
But fortunately, in response to that sentence, God closed a door and left a window at the same time.
Butler has won the envy of others with his efforts, and that quality of hard work will stay with him for the rest of his life.
"Jimmy, have you ever wondered who your father is?"
After listening to this, Tang Tian asked, generally people who are adopted will want to know who their biological parents are.
"Or, did you ever think that your father could be Michael Jordan?"
Jordan is now 52 and Butler is 26.
The difference between the two is 26 years, and Jordan was the first person in the league when he was 26 years old, and he was proud and happy off the court.
This possibility really exists, especially since Butler still looks like Jordan.
This is also the origin of many rumors.
Or to put it another way, if Butler goes to test Jordan's DNA, if it does, then Butler is the son of God.
It can even be said that this is a two-way choice, Butler has a super awesome father, and Jordan finally has a promising son.
Butler shook his head.
"My father was Arnold Leslie."
Butler's next words made Tang Tian stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
This sentence is basically Butler's attitude.
Butler didn't want to know who his biological father was, or if everyone was the same.
His father did not fulfill any of his responsibilities of support, and his life was built by the efforts of the Lamberts and himself.
So, he didn't have the idea of this direction.
Butler's attitude made him appreciate him even more.
This kind of person may be paranoid in personality, but it is really the kind of friend that is worth making deeply.
After returning from Butler's home, the two men continued to turn around and go back to training.
At this moment, Carl called Tang Tian.
It's about yoga teachers.
There are not many yoga masters in the United States, and several famous appointments are scheduled for a few months.
So Tang Tian had three choices, either to find a general one, or to make an appointment later, or to go directly to an open class.
Tang Tian chose the fourth path.
He asked Carl to look among the people who had made an appointment to see if there was anyone in New York who could be discussed, and asked him to go with him to a private lesson.
The energy that a private class teacher puts into it is certainly not the same as an open class.
If he wants to save time and get results, he has to take private lessons.
Karl quickly replied, yes.
It's just that this person made him a little unexpected.
Emma Watson.
Watson heard that the person who skipped the class was Tang Tian, and agreed.
The intersection between Tang Tian and Watson is basically the last time Olsen and Yates talked about "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
"Send me the timetable and thank her by the way."
Tang Tian replied to Carl.
It doesn't matter who she is, he is now thinking about improving his skills as soon as possible.
The yoga guru's name is Kupata Summit and he is Indian.
Tang Tian went to Summit Yoga Studio the next night, and in the yoga studio, he met Watson again.
Watson smiled at her, said hello and said no more.
She really has a kind of British reserve.
Watson's performance made Tang Tian very comfortable, he was just here to skip class.
Yoga is a static sport, and it is really a lot of torture for beginners, especially strong basketball players like Tang Tian.
He gritted his teeth to complete many movements.
Watson, by contrast, is much more professional.
If Tang Tian is a beginner in the field of yoga, then Watson is at least a golden rank.
Most of the yoga poses, Watson has already unlocked.
After the practice, Tang Tian felt sore, this kind of play is suitable for women, it is really not fake, this is more torturous than running back.
Watson on the side couldn't help but smile when he saw it.
Tang Tian also smiled awkwardly after seeing it, for the first time in his life, there was a place where he couldn't compare to a woman.
After practicing yoga, the two of them went out of the yoga studio together.
"Thank you for your help."
Tang Tian shook his hand to relieve the soreness and said to Watson.
"You should have hired a regular private yoga teacher to make the transition first, Kupat's classes are too difficult for you."
Watson shook his head and motioned for Tang Tian not to say thank you, and then spoke.
"I'm short on time."
Tang Tian replied with a smile.
He also knows that things have to be done gradually, but coordination and flexibility are a long-term process.
With February just a few months away, he has to hurry.
"Yoga is anaerobic exercise, soreness is due to the accumulation of lactic acid in the body, you can find a masseuse, and then use more hot compresses, that will help you."
Watson continued, she gave Tang Tian some experience from the people who had come over.
"Thank you."
Tang Tian thanked Watson again, they were not friends, and Watson said that these experiences were really very helpful.
Watson nodded very ladylikely, and then got into his car and walked away.
Learning hip-hop dance with Walker, yoga from Summit, and hard training for brothers, Tang Tian's training content this summer is extremely fulfilling.
Fast forward to the end of July.
Tang Tian's street dance is decent, and the yoga posture is also completed with six or seven points.
He can clearly feel the progress of his backward technique, whether he can advance or not, at least he can already come out of that technical movement.
Prokopio is indeed the most professional.
That's when Fagan called him.
The Nike side has given them the exact news that his signature sneakers will be released on September 1 and will be the first to start during Nike's trip to China.
This sentence means that in September, he will conduct the second season of Nike's China tour.
Tang Tian is not resistant to China, after all, for him, home is always the most dealy, especially the fans there.
But when Fagan said this, he remembered Lin Yi and Wang Quanze who he had seen before.
I don't know how the two are mixing now.
