"Jimmy, good job."

Jimmy Butler cut the Nets and is being interviewed.

Qiao Hai waited for the reporter's interview to end before he stopped little Jimmy Butler, Jimmy Butler turned around and saw Qiao Hai, and replied with a smile on his face: "Thank you!" Mr. Joe. ”

"Well done game, you defended great."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Joe."

Qiao Hai noticed Jimmy Butler's reddish eyes, and at this moment, he was completely sure that Jimmy Butler just didn't rest well.

"Your eyes are red, your hair is messy, and you don't look well-rested?"

Little Jimmy was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"What's going on?" Joe became serious, but he glanced at the reporters and fans next to him, and he quickly left the arena with Jimmy Butler in his hand.

……

……

At a Chinese restaurant next to the arena, Qiao Hai, Stan Love, Kevin Love and Jimmy Butler, the four of them asked for a private room, and Qiao Hai ordered a few Chinese dishes that Americans love.

Jimmy Butler swallowed the food quickly, and Qiao Hai didn't stop him, and when the food was almost eaten, Qiao Hai asked his question.

"Didn't Michael Jordan give you $5,000? Why do you still have bad rest? ”

Jimmy Butler quickly shook his head: "Mr. Joe, that $5,000 can't be moved." ”

"Why?"

"Because I'm going to change high school next semester, I want to find a better school, which requires a huge amount of tuition, and I also want to change my basketball equipment, which requires money."

Qiao Hai nodded, he had already accepted this explanation.

"So where do you live these days?"

"I used to stay at my little Kent Porter's house, but Uncle Porter said Michael Jordan gave me a sum of money and I should give them boarding fees, so, two days ago, I left the Porter house."

"What about these two days?"

"I live in the school, and I ...... in the classroom" Jimmy Butler was a little surprised to see Qiao Hai, and he quickly added: "But I have already agreed with Deandre that if I can win the championship this time, I can go to his house for a week, including food and lodging." ”

Qiao Hai was surprised: "So, you fought hard in the second half. ”

Jimmy Butler took a bite of the braised chicken leg in his hand and nodded with difficulty: "Yes, I have to find a place where I can sleep in peace." ”

Joe Hay stopped talking, or rather, he was blown away by Jimmy Butler, and he fell silent.

This guy is just a little strong!

After being abandoned by his parents, he relied on himself and lived a difficult life alone!

Without Joe, he wouldn't have been adopted by another family until Jimmy Butler was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a place to stay.

……

After the meal was over, Stat Lorefour and Kevin Love prepared to go home.

Jimmy Butler thanked Qiao Hai: "Thank you, Mr. Qiao, this meal is the most delicious meal I have had in the last two months. ”

Qiao Hai waved his hand and asked again, "Where are you staying tonight?" ”

Jimmy Butler said weakly: "Mr. Joe, can you lend me a mobile phone, and I will call Deandre." ”

Qiao Hai nodded: "Okay." ”

Joe Hay took out the BlackBerry he had just bought and handed it to Jimmy Butler, who dialed a number, and then Joe Hai overheard the conversation between Jimmy Butler and the other side of the phone.

"Deandre, whether it will work or not, you give me the right words."

"Not tonight, my parents are at home, there are no extra beds at home, you can come tomorrow."

"No, I can sleep on the couch!"

"Are you confused, Jimmy, we don't have a sofa at home! Our family only has a kitchen, a dining room and a very small room. ”

“……”

At the end of the conversation, Qiao Hai shook his head helplessly.

"Forget it, little one, you can go back with me today......"

"Is this really good?"

"You little guy, let's go, it's not too early, go back and get a good night's sleep, and then think about what to do in the future!"

The Maybach started, and Jimmy Butler got into the car with some restraint.

But it didn't take long for him to let go, and in terms of personality, Jimmy Butler is indeed very much like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, the same paranoia, the same general.

Chattering all the way, although he has never driven a car, Jimmy Butler knows cars very well, seems to be a keyboard car god, he pointed out several advantages of Maybach, as well as several disadvantages.

Qiao Hai rolled his eyes while driving.

Back at his house on the shores of Lake Winser, Jimmy Butler looked at the huge mansion and muttered, "That's so big!" ”

Qiao Hai smiled and didn't answer.

He found a set of toiletries for Jimmy Butler and a set of pyjamas that looked very large, and led Jimmy Butler to the second floor, where he chose a guest room that had recently been cleaned.

said: "You can stay in this room tonight, take a shower by yourself, and get a good night's sleep, understand?" ”

"Understood."

……

There was nothing to say all night, and Qiao Hai was also thinking about one thing.

Should he help Jimmy Butler?

Thinking about it, he felt that this was a good child, a strong, persistent, and very hard-working child.

Perhaps, it doesn't matter if you help a gang, it's just a gesture anyway.

……

When he woke up, Qiao Hai had already made up his mind.

But in the face of Jimmy Butler, a black kid who didn't know the roots, he still decided to leave a little more time to investigate him.

After getting dressed, Qiao Hai opened the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window, and in the sun, he saw that by the pool downstairs, Jimmy Butler was grabbing a basketball and throwing it vigorously at the improvised hoop.

Qiao Hai smiled, pushed open the door of the balcony, walked to the balcony, and shouted downstairs, "Jimmy, have you had breakfast?" ”

When Jimmy Butler saw Qiao Hai, he became a little restrained again, and he shook his head: "Not yet."

"Go to the restaurant on the second floor and have breakfast first."

……

In the restaurant on the second floor, Qiao Hai made a few sandwiches with pure milk, which was a nutritious breakfast.

"Do you have any plans for today?"

Jimmy Butler shook his head: "It's the weekend, no classes, no schedules. ”

"Then come with me to Compaq Center."

"Good ......"

……

At Compaq Center, Stamford saw that Qiao Hai had brought Jimmy Butler and was a little puzzled: "Why did you bring him?" ”

Qiao Hai didn't answer, but asked a question: "Stan, is there any formalities for adopting a child in the United States?" ”

"There's no formality, a kid the age of Jimmy Butler just needs his consent."

Qiao Hai glared: "How do you know that I am going to adopt Jimmy Butler?" ”

"Isn't that obvious? Ha ha! ”
