Chapter 69: The Journey of the Brave

Maybe I like Olajuwon more and I only wanted to write two chapters, but I wrote it for almost a week, but it's okay, let's start our plot now.

A month later, the Knicks' home arena, Madison Square Square erupted in applause! The enthusiastic audience waved their fists to vent their emotions, on the court, it was the game between the Hornets and the Knicks, Iverson missed the single Filton, Anthony Randolph made a long pass, and the front was the Knicks' big boss, the majestic "little bully" Stoudemire, I saw him catch the ball in one step in the three-point shot, take three steps directly, and glide in the air with one hand to split the dunk!

The audience on the sidelines was a noisy boiling sound again!

This is the end of the first quarter with five minutes left, the Hornets' starting No. 4 David West can't guard Stoudemire at all, the latter turned over the river on the inside, to get what he wanted, in just seven minutes, Stoudemire took a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds, and this game went to 40+20 again.

Bai Xiaofei was wearing the No. 2 jersey and sitting on the sidelines, at this time he was on his knees, and a huge white towel completely covered his head, just lowered his head and did not speak.

This morning, in the old man's office, the old man told Bai Xiaofei two things, one good and one bad.

"Bai Xiaofei, first of all, I'll tell you a good thing, I decided to give you a second contract to prove yourself." The old man's voice was slow and low, different from usual was a little dry, and there was no smile on the old man's face, "The five games of your first contract were not good, and many people do not recommend giving you a second contract, but I still believe in your ability, and I hope you will not let me down." ”

A big smile appeared on Bai Xiaofei's face, and he said with a little maturity, "Don't worry, Director Fu, I will definitely behave well!" ”

"There's one more bad thing, I don't know how I can tell you......"

The old man lowered the brim of his hat with his hand, and Bai Xiaofei couldn't see what was hidden in the old man's eyes.

"It's okay, let's go, what's worse than my five-game performance?"

"You have to be mentally prepared." The old man sighed softly, then sat down in the chair and crossed the fingers of his hands to his lips.

"Say it."

"Xiaofei, I just got the news...... Your father ......" The old man seemed to want to speak and stopped, and finally made up his mind to say it, after all, what should be faced is always to be faced, "I don't know how to tell you Bai Xiaofei...... Your father died......"

"What!"

Five thunderbolts! Bai Xiaofei's smile was still on his face, and he didn't have time to disperse, he was stunned for two seconds, and then he rushed to the old man with an arrow step and roared, "What are you talking about!" What you say is true! ”

The old man nodded, and said in his usual low but somewhat hoarse voice, "It's true, your father was in a car accident on the way to buy goods......

"How is that possible! You're lying to me, aren't you? Bai Xiaofei slapped the table vigorously and shouted, "How come, I only called home a few days ago!" ”

Bai Xiaofei took out the phone from his pocket and dialed the phone at home, the phone kept ringing, but no one answered.

"How is that possible...... How could it be ......"

"Mourning, Xiaofei."

Bai Xiaofei couldn't control it anymore, tears rushed out of his eyes and flowed down, at this time he didn't think about anything, just looked at his phone, how much he hoped that the phone could be connected, and then his mother smiled and said to herself, "Everything is lying to you." ”

The phone still went unanswered.

After a long time, the old man said softly, "I have spoken to your mother on the phone, your mother is a strong person, she hopes that I will not tell you the news, she knows that you are in a critical period now, and she doesn't want to affect you......"

Bai Xiaofei burst into tears, and his father's smiling face appeared in his mind.

"However, I think there is an old Chinese saying that says well, "the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the child wants to raise but does not wait", there is nothing in the world more precious than family affection, so I will tell you this news at this juncture, you must understand, Xiaofei, you are now almost twenty years old, you are already a man, I hope you can face all this strongly, until the end. ”

Bai Xiaofei's tears kept flowing out of his eyes, wetting the floor under his feet.

The old man stood up, patted Bai Xiaofei lightly on the shoulder, and said, "I have already booked a ticket for you to return home, just tomorrow morning, but you still have one more game tonight, and the opponent is a person you are very familiar with and very strong, Stoudemire, I hope you can play this game well......"

……

Bai Xiaofei shook his head vigorously, inadvertently, tears flowed out again, Bai Xiaofei quickly blinked his eyes vigorously, trying to suppress the tears that were about to come out, at this moment, Bai Xiaofei, who was sitting on the bench at Madison Square Garden, how much he hoped that this was just a dream, and when he woke up, everything was as before.

In Bai Xiaofei's mind, he suddenly remembered the conversation he had with his father a month ago, on the night of the end of the game between the Hornets and the Thunder, "As a man, you have to be like a man, my biggest regret now is that I didn't send you to the army to experience military life, but even if you haven't been a soldier, you can imagine the strength and resilience of soldiers in the face of difficulties and difficulties, I hope you are like this, striding forward, You can't take a step back even if your head is broken, you have to be confident, you're no worse than anyone else, and those who laugh at you don't have to be better than you when they're twenty years old! Be optimistic about everything, don't be too pessimistic, it's always good to leave a way back for yourself in doing things, but I hope that at this moment, you should break all thoughts of going backwards, work hard, and rush as far as you can, and don't leave yourself any regrets! ”

"I said so much Actually, in the end, Bai Xiaofei, I hope you can become a brave man, a brave man who can charge into battle and open up the territory, walking on this road, it may be difficult, it may be very hurt, it may have to go through a thousand kinds of suffering, all kinds of pain, as well as the sneering words and disdainful eyes of others, but you must have the courage to break the boat, the indestructible faith and the courage of the horse leather shroud, now, I hope I can see the bravest side of your heart, on this brave road, Keep moving! ”

"Bai Xiaofei, there are some things you have to understand yourself, the floor you are stepping on now is a place that many Chinese dream of, no matter whether the ball is played well or not, but the attitude of the game must be correct, you are almost twenty years old, not small, when I am twenty years old, I can earn work and support my family in the production team, whether you admit it or not, you are no longer a child, don't be too naΓ―ve in everything, you are already a man, that day when I am old, or I am gone, you will be the only man in the family, Feed yourself and your mom......"

Unexpectedly, when Bai Xiaofei calmed down and pondered these words, he and his father were already separated from each other.

"This is the journey of the brave!" Bai Xiaofei was suddenly shocked, and silently recited these words in his heart, "The journey of the brave!" ”

"No. 2, you're on the field!"

Through the thick white towel, Bai Xiaofei heard Williams' helpless voice, and Bai Xiaofei understood that it must have been Stoudemire who broke West and Blings again.

Bai Xiaofei ripped off the white towel wrapped around his head, and stood up with a firm gaze, his burly body made others look sideways!

At this time, there was no dead ball on the court, Bai Xiaofei walked towards the technical table, while looking at the situation on the court, Felton missed a three-point shot, Stoudemire was like a beast rushing to the sky, roared and flew into the sky, picked up the rebound with both hands, and dunked Brightins!

"Dang!"

Under the huge impact of Stoudemire, Brightins couldn't stand on his feet and hit two stumbles in a row.

"Toot toot!"

Whistle blows! Bad Luckings foul! Stoudemire clenched his fists and roared into the sky again! Suddenly, the stadium was filled with applause, whistles, and the sound of musical instruments and DJs!

After Stoudemire scored this shot, the Knicks already had a 15-point lead at 29:14!

Stoudemire was about to make a free throw, when the technical whistle sounded, Bai Xiaofei stepped into the field, but what was waiting for Bai Xiaofei was the boos of the audience!

To tell the truth, the data that Bai Xiaofei played in the first contract is very different from his performance on the court, which is very different from the expectation, the old man gave Bai Xiaofei the second contract at the risk of "the world's disapproval", if Bai Xiaofei still can't play in a few games in this contract, then Bai Xiaofei's NBA career is really over, but at this juncture, Bai Xiaofei's family has an accident, that is to say, Bai Xiaofei only plays one game in this contract, This game determines whether Bai Xiaofei can continue to stay in the NBA!

Stoudemire didn't make a free throw, he walked up to Bai Xiaofei and said, "Hey, little Teddy, we met again, I didn't expect that general manager of yours to really help you, you can get a second contract with such bad statistics," Stoudemire said arrogantly, "Do you know why so many people boo you when you play?" ”

Bai Xiaofei ignored Stoudemire and walked straight to the penalty boundary, Stoudemire was still chattering in Bai Xiaofei's ear, "That's because you're going to be beaten by me again!" I really feel sorry for you! Standing at the free throw line, Stoudemire took the ball from the referee, slapped it a few times, then raised his hand to shoot and said, "Hey! Little Teddy, look how the ball went in! ”

"Thank you." Bai Xiaofei's words to Stoudemire made the latter confused, he didn't know what he meant by provoking Bai Xiaofei so much, and Bai Xiaofei said "Thankyou".

"Huh!"

Basketball through the net! Stoudemire hits a three-pointer!

Thorton dribbled outside the three-point line, and with the help of Sangeira's blocking, he shot directly on a three-point shot!

"Dang!"

The basketball smashed on the eaves of the basket, and Stoudemire took the first rebound position, jumping! He's bounced so well that he's already grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and the next move is to take the ball into his arms! But!

Behind Stoudemire, a huge figure jumped up, snatched the ball directly from Stoudemire's hands, and made up the basket directly! No, no, no! It's a buckle!

It's Bai Xiaofei!

I saw Bai Xiaofei directly pull down the rebounding ball that Stoudemire grabbed with one hand, and dunk it in the air!

"Dang!"

Bai Xiaofei's hands violently buckled! And it's also through Stoudemire's buckle!

The basket made a painful "squeak" sound, and the powerful impact made Stoddermeier unable to stand under his feet, and he hit his head on the basketball hoop outside the court, looking embarrassed, but fortunately, the basket was wrapped around the elastic sponge so as not to be injured!

The whole Madison Square Garden is dead silent! The focus of the audience is on this man who slammed the stademar!

After the violent dunk, Bai Xiaofei did not beat his chest or roar, but bent down to pick up the basketball, and then handed it to Stoudemire, who was still holding the basket, with one hand, and said calmly, "This ball is for me who played with you in the last game, and now, my game is about to start!" ”
