On the streets of Indianapolis, Hu Qingniu had no clue to look for. He had read the report in his previous life, and only knew that Atay was playing on a relatively remote street court, but he couldn't remember which street or place it was.

There are red brick-walled houses everywhere, and Hu Qingniu's head is dizzy.

As a last resort, Hu Qingniu thought of a way, he tried to contact Reggie Miller through Jordan, as the big brother, Miller should know Atay's whereabouts.

As it turned out, Hu Qingniu's idea was good, and Miller really provided the address of Atai's long-term dealing.

Turning around, Hu Qingniu came to a community surrounded by an iron fence.

In the glass box next to the gate of the community, the name of each household hangs, but it has been graffiti to the ground beyond recognition. Hu asked you to take off your sunglasses and identify them carefully, and roughly recognized the word Artest.

This greatly tested Hu Qingniu's eyesight, he raised his head, took a long breath, and then passed through a large pile of broken copper and iron cars.

The surrounding residents looked over, which made Hu Qingniu very uncomfortable, because this seemed to be a black community. They looked at the outsiders with some amazement, because the culture here is not welcoming to Asians.

Hu Qingniu stubbornly went up to inquire about Atai's whereabouts.

"Ron?! ho are you？！ ”

The middle-aged black man in front of him didn't show any affection, and he asked loudly.

"Ron is our superhero, and we won't let him get hurt again!"

It can be seen that Atai is indeed the glory of this community, but Hu Qingniu didn't understand that although Atai didn't get a top big contract, it should be no problem to live in a high-end community with his economic strength.

And here, Hu Qingniu looked around, garbage was everywhere, graffiti was everywhere, and several doors were noisy with annoying music.

Finally, after Hu Qingniu's patient questioning, he found the news of Atai, who was sitting on the railing on the side of the street with his back to him, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Ron!" Hu Qingniu shouted.

Atai turned his head slowly, a little surprised.

"Who are you? Doctor Coach! ”

"Why, I came to see you, and you seem surprised." Hu Qingniu approached and smiled: "It was Reggie who told me you were here." ”

Atai also replied with a smile, but still a little overwhelmed.

"Thank you, Coach. Well, I'll show you around my site, you've never been to a black neighborhood, but it's actually very interesting. ”

Atai jumped down from the railing and led the way for Hu Qingniu, and the two chatted all the way, but Hu Qingniu was a little entangled in how to cut into the topic of Auburn Hills.

Turning a corner, a pair of 4 and 5-year-old girls sat on two swings in the shade of a tree in the corner, and one of them greeted Ah Tai happily when he saw it.

"Hi, Ron!"

Atai's uncomfortable mood suddenly turned cloudy, and he returned with a smile on his face.

"Hi, little Jessica! Do I want to push you, swings are not to sit still and play. ”

The little girl happily raised her hand and replied.

“yes！ Ron! ”

"Put your hands down, don't fall off!"

Ah Tai hurriedly stepped forward and gently used his big thick hands to put the little girl's hands on the ropes on both sides of the swing. Then with two hands, gently push the swing for the two little girls.

The feeling of flying caused the little girls to giggle and laugh at each other.

"Taller, Ron!" A little girl screamed.

The other shouted.

"Higher! A little higher! ”

Hu Qingniu leaned against the fence and stared blankly at all this, he felt that the soft place in his heart was touched, and he couldn't wait to make a sound.

"Ron, come with me!"

Atai frowned and asked suspiciously.

"Coach, where else can I go?"

"Come with me to Charlotte, you'll get a free training session before the season starts next year."

General Atai asked suspiciously.

"Don't you think I'm a dangerous person."

"Of course not, you're just a wild lion who needs to be disciplined, how about it, Ron, come with me to Charlotte, here's my contact information, call me before 10 am tomorrow, that's when our plane takes off."

Handing out a business card, Hu Qingniu left after speaking, the purpose of his coming here was to give Atai a chance, and he didn't want him to waste a year at the age of 25.

Ah Tai looked at the direction Hu Qingniu left, clutching the business card in his hand tightly, he realized that this might be his only chance.

The Auburn Hills Palace incident was a turning point in Artay's career, before which Atay was a representative of the tough guy and a potential star who gradually grew, but after returning from a one-year ban, his form declined greatly, and although he was still a defensive gate, he was completely reduced to a role player within a few years.

Become the strongest outside gate in the league, a first-line star, or fall and waste your talent, it depends on Artay's own grasp.

8 p.m.

The game between the Bobcats and Pacers started on time.

The magician set off with the team this time, and he came to meet his old friend, Big Bird Bird. The two went to the box together to watch the game.

The team's top three players, Ron Artest, Jermaine O'Neal, and Stephen Jackson have all been suspended, Reggie Miller has not been able to return due to injury, and the Pacers have fielded an unknown lineup.

Crohill, Johnson, Foster, these people don't even have much of an impression of Hu Qingniu.

The Pacers also had no intention of playing the whole game, perhaps still immersed in the waves of the incident. At the end of the game, Hu Qingniu also deliberately found Coach Carlisle and gave him a comforting hug. They are also old acquaintances, and Carlisle voluntarily relinquished his position as All-Star coach last season.

As a result, the Bobcats defeated the Pacers 102-80. No player deliberately brushed the score, and seeing that the score was ahead, Hu Qingniu changed to a substitute lineup.

Wade and O'Neal both only played about 20 minutes, but Howard played 36 minutes, and this time he got 20 points and 22 rebounds, which is also a small record, the youngest player with 20+ rebounds.

But the main reason is that there is no resistance from the other side, and the iron is constantly striking. Even Alston picked up nine rebounds in this game.

Early the next morning, Atai appeared in front of Hu Qingniu's door, and it was the magician himself who brought him here.

"Larry asked me to take good care of him, he has been barred from the Pacers' training gym, and we have to take him in." The magician shook his head.

Hu Qingniu casually picked up the phone and said hello to Boss Qiao, and explained that Charlotte College had opened ahead of schedule, because it was the first student to come.

With the plane, Atay came to Charlotte together, although he made a big mistake, but as a player, Wade, O'Neal and these guys did not look at him with strange eyes. He was encouraged all the way on the plane.

Atay also lives on the estate on Sophie Marceau Street, where he is the first cadet of the Charlotte Basketball Academy. Anyway, Atai can't play this season, and Hu Qingniu is not afraid of him divulging secrets, so he directly arranges for him to practice with Pippen with Ariza and Josh. As we all know, Atay, who was born as a rookie on the Bulls, is still the little fan brother of the great Bulls. He wore Rodman's No. 91 and Jordan's No. 23, but Pippen's No. 32 was so sought-after that he didn't get a chance to wear it everywhere he went.

In order to establish the academy, Boss Qiao has been ready to build several training halls outside the manor, and open a basketball school to make a steady profit, and Boss Qiao still has a spectrum in his heart.
