Chapter 45: What Are You Doing with Your Life?

Ewing and Moxi fell to the ground and still didn't do this or that, and the place where they came was a small church. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the famous community church in the United States, which is similar to the place of the welfare home. That is, the place where the protagonists come here to do social labor after a fight, and then meet gorgeous female stars. But at this moment, Mo Xi didn't find any young and beautiful female stars here, only a thirty-year-old man covered in pimples.

Mo Xi was pulled by Ewing to volunteer, and I think there is always no shortage of people who volunteer to volunteer in these places, some for show, but some are indeed to help the children here.

Mo Xi was the first time to come into contact with this kind of work, and he was a little at a loss and didn't know what he should do, but the kind old dean seemed to be accustomed to it, and reminded him from time to time. Mo Xi didn't have a lot to do, and in his opinion, it wasn't as tiring as his training, just helping to cut the lawn, change the light bulb, move some heavy objects, fix the broken faucet or something. He thought it was very simple, but then, he felt that it was actually quite difficult, and the difficulty was probably similar to that of Mo Ning.

I don't know what the old dean thinks, but he actually let these two big men who look far beyond ordinary people play with their children, especially one of them, who has a fierce face and is not a good person at first glance. But what surprised Mo Xi even more was that Ewing actually had a lot of fun with those children.

Ewing seems to be a frequent visitor, and he seems to have a good relationship with the children here, calling each one by name, telling each person's preferences, and the little anecdotes that often happen to them. Ewing had a hearty smile on his face that he had never seen before, and he talked and laughed loudly with the children, talking about what was happening in his life, about what was happening in the outside world, and also listening to the children tell them about what was happening to them, like Jenny wet the bed again yesterday and was beaten up by Mama, Clark was adopted last week, and Andrew grew two inches taller...... The children talked trivially, jumbledly, and often exchanged words with each other, but Ewing listened more carefully than Van Gundy had when he had planned his tactics.

Mo Xi watched intently, watching everything Ewing did, and to be honest, everything Ewing is doing now is difficult for people to associate him with the center of the league's top ranks who seems extremely strong on and off the court, but also extremely obedient and withdrawn. Mo Xi had an urge to do it like Ewing, but he didn't know why, what it could bring him, and what he should do? Mo Xi lowered his head, looking at a few children around him who were looking up at him secretly, and when he saw Mo Xi looking down at them, they all turned their heads away, their eyes mixed with many feelings, curiosity, longing and fear.

Mo Xi scratched his head, hesitated, leaned down, and sat down on the ground, so that at least, the children would not have to look at him so hard. The children here are mostly people of color, yellow-skinned, dark-skinned, and Latino. Like them, he is a person of color, and here he is also a persona non grata, just a little better than the people who are smuggled from Mexico.

Ewing smiled at the children and said, "Hi ladies and gentlemen, now I'm going to introduce you to a new friend, well, did you watch the game?" I mean, at the time I was hurting? ”

At this time, a little black boy with a shaved head raised his hand excitedly and said, "Of course, I secretly watched that day, lying on the crack of the dean's door, I know who you are, you are that big Chinese man, they call you Frozen-Volcano (Frozen Volcano)." ”

Mo Xi listened and smiled softly, he knew which game the other party was talking about, it was still a Finals game, the third game when the Knicks returned to New York, that game Mo Xi played with all his strength, and it was also in that game that Mo Xi won a nickname of Frozen-Volcano, although it became One-Ba a few days later, mocking him for only one rebound in front of the Spurs Twin Towers.

With Ewing's help, which also includes the blessing of skin color, Mo Xi quickly blended in with the children. He learned that the little black boy was named Ali, and that he loved to play basketball, and often sneaked out behind his back to play with people a few blocks away, because he thought the children here were too weak, but his idol was not Ewing or any of the Knicks, but "The Rock" Richmond. There is also a Chinese girl here, called Li Nali, the dean has always called her Lena for convenience, maybe because of the same skin color, Mo Xi has a good impression of her, but the little girl doesn't appreciate it, she made up her mind to go to Los Angeles in the future, go to Hollywood, she wants to live a glamorous life. There is another person who Ewing considers extremely talented, another black boy named Tony, but he prefers rugby, like Iverson, and thinks that this is a man's sport, Ewing tried to correct the other party's mind several times, but failed, but Mo's eloquence is much better than Ewing's.

"Hey, man, you're so strong, you can fit two of me my age like you."

"Hmph, so you have to play basketball, not football."

"Who told you that, what position do you like to play? Right winger? ”

"No, I'm a runner."

"Really? I actually know a lot of football players, and a guy like you is not a good runner, do you know Iverson, the 76ers, he used to be a runner, but now he plays basketball. ”

"And what position do you think I should play?"

"Of course it's a defensive forward, I used to play football, that's the position, but then I went to basketball."

Well, Mo Xi forcibly threw out several people who used to play rugby who chose basketball halfway, and gradually planted a lot of football in each other's hearts, and finally chose basketball because basketball is more interesting.

The two of them stayed here for nearly half a day, and when the two left, Tony ran up and gave Mo Xi a hug, and then said: "I'll consider your invitation, but I still prefer rugby, but if you can't play and can't win, I'll consider helping you." ”

Ink pity a black line.

Sitting in the car, the two were still exchanging ideas about today's events.

Ewing said, "Well, what do you think?" ”

Mo Xi hesitated for a long time and said, "I can see that they are very happy, but they are not really happy. "The centre-forwards have a delicate and sensitive heart, which many people can't imagine.

"Because they're going to grow up in an environment that makes them more mature than the other kids, and they know that we're here for them, but what they want most is not necessarily for us who are volunteers, they want to get out of here and want an adoptive family, and that's not something we can do," Ewing said. ”

Mo Xi sighed softly: "Why are there so many children here? ”

Ewing looked at him with a strange expression and said, "Why do you think I brought you here instead of someone else?" ”

Mo Xi was a little puzzled, what does this have to do with him?

Ewing said helplessly: "If your mother was not your mother, where would you be now?" ”

Ewing's words were very tongue-twisting, but Mo Xi understood, and he was lucky because his mother was called Moli Fish, but there was only one Moli Fish in the world.

Ewing said with emotion: "Many gifted children come from single-parent families, but many of them have lost the opportunity to show themselves due to various accidents before they came to prominence, I just want you to take a look, let you see, there is more than just victory in your life." You should ask yourself, what else should you do with your life besides playing? ”
