Chapter Sixty-Nine: Parker

Auden sat on the ground and looked up at the score on the screen, clutching his head in some pain. The score kept coming to mind, and the two-point difference made the night's hard work necessary.

"Nothing, it's none of your business! It was me, it was me who didn't pay attention, and Chris slapped the ball out. Aldridge walked up to Oden's side, patted Oden on the shoulder, and said bitterly.

Auden got up from the ground and wiped the sweat from his head. "But in the end, I threw the ball, it was me!"

"So what? The final tactical arrangement is me, not you! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had the last hope, it's just that God is not on our side today! ”

"That's ......," Auden hung his arms in frustration, "and that was my first kill...... muttered inwardly.

"Greg, it's really nothing, it's just a regular season! For the next game, we're starting over! ”

"New to school? We'll start anew! I don't know if Auden said it to himself or to Aldridge, but the tone was firm. Perhaps, only Auden knows it in his heart!

"That's right! We'll start anew! Aldridge smiled and held out his hand, clenched into a fist.

Auden also smiled and reached out and punched Aldridge, then clasped Aldridge's hand and laughed insolently, as if they were the victors in the end.

Life has created so many problems, if you are still further refining these unhappiness in your mind, you will continue to increase your psychological burden. Isn't it stupid to have to face so many unpredictable things every day, and to bear the unhappiness you create for yourself?

Looking up at the big screen again, Oden smiled at the audience who had already left the field and began to go out, waved his hands vigorously, and strode into the players' tunnel.

Although he felt cold all night, only 6 of 16 shots, only scored 17 points and 13 rebounds, and lost, Oden felt that his heart was never so warm!

That night, the Trail Blazers flew back to Portland overnight. McMillan, who originally wanted to talk to Auden, gave up the idea when he saw that Auden reverted to his previous gags. Looking at Auden's back, McMillan had a vague sense that Auden had changed somewhat, but he couldn't say what it was.

"Uncle, you're back!" In the early hours of the morning, when the day was a little brighter, Auden had just walked into the house, and the sleepy-eyed Tim cried out in surprise when he saw Auden.

"Shh......h Aunt Mei is still resting, and we are quieter! Auden made a silent gesture and whispered.

"Hmm...... Greg is back! You guys are such a great bunch, even though the team lost the game! At this time, Aunt Mei poked her head out of the kitchen and said.

Auden touched his head awkwardly and said with a smirk: "Thank you, Aunt Mei!" But I don't think we've done enough! ”

β€œRome was not built in a day!” Aunt Mei said with a smile that for this young man, Aunt Mei has an indescribable liking, serious, hard-working, kind and low-key.

"Uncle, are you still going for a morning run with me today? You weren't there yesterday and I also had a run! Tim said swaggeringly.

"Tim, Uncle Greg still needs to rest, let Uncle Greg accompany you tomorrow, I'll go with you today!"

"It's okay Aunt Mei, it just so happens that I'm going to sweat too!" Auden said to Aunt May with a smile, then squatted down, touched Tim's arms, looked at Tim and said, "Since Tim is so well-behaved, then I will accompany Tim to go for a morning run!" ”

"Yay! Uncle, you're the best! He jumped up and waved his arms, then quickly slipped into the bathroom to get ready to wash. Just as Auden was about to go back to change clothes, Tim suddenly stuck his head out again and said loudly to Auden: "I'm not a child anymore, don't praise myself with words that praise children." After saying that, he stuck out his tongue mischievously and grimaced.

This little imp! Auden shook his head helplessly, smiled at Aunt Mei, opened the door and walked in, ready to change clothes.

"Uncle, are you okay? Hurry up! I'm waiting for you, and I'm thankful for all the flowers I was waiting for. Tim banged on Oden's door and shouted loudly, and Tim felt a little impatient.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Auden's voice rang out in the room, and soon the door was opened, and Auden, who had changed into a tracksuit, walked out quickly.

"Uncle, let's go, Leth enough!" Tim took Auden's hand and walked out.

"Okay, let's move our muscles first, and then we run, remember how to do that?" Oden stopped after being pulled into the road by Tim.

"Remember!" Tim said loudly.

Auden and Tim flexed their muscles a little, and then began to run down the road. After the morning jog, Auden and Tim walked around the park again before walking home unhurriedly.

As soon as he arrived home, Oden found that there was an extra car, a Mercedes-Benz S350.

"It's my dad and mom here!" Seeing the familiar license plate, Tim said to Auden with a smile.

"You mean, this car belongs to your dad?"

"Yes!" Tim nodded, and ran into the house, shouting for his father.

"Oh, look at my little darling, show Daddy! Kindness...... It's strong after a few days of not seeing it! A meticulous middle-aged man in a straight suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and well-groomed hair hugged Tim. Well-dressed, he looks like a successful person like a gold collar.

"Of course, I've been exercising with my uncle every day lately!" Tim bent his arms and said in a boastful manner.

"Really? Sure enough, Tim is the most well-behaved! Who's the uncle, though? ”

"Uncle is Uncle Greg!" Just as Auden also walked into the house at this time, Tim pointed at Auden and said, "He's an uncle!" ”

Tim's father, that is, Aunt May's son Parker, stood up and saw Oden, and instantly recognized that this was Greg Oden, the main center of the Trail Blazers that his mother said!

"Hello!" Parker walked up, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Oden, and took the initiative to introduce himself: "Parker! ”

"Hello! I'm Greg Oden. Auden held out his hand and shook Parker briefly.

Aunt May came out of the kitchen with some food, saw Auden and Tim returning, and said to Oden, "This is my son, Parker!" By the way, Greg, would you like to have some breakfast together? I think you should need some food right now. ”

"Good! Then thank you Aunt May! Auden followed Parker into the living room.

"Parker, do you need peanut butter or blueberry jam?" At this time, a clear female voice sounded in the kitchen.

"Peanut butter, thank you!"

"Okay!" Soon a figure came to the restaurant.

"Introduce, my lady, Mary Jane!" Parker looked at the woman beside him gently, and his eyes full of love could be seen that the two were very affectionate.

"This is my mother's tenant, the Trail Blazers' main center, Greg Oden."

"Hello, nice to meet you!" Auden stood up and stretched out his hand.

β€œme too!” Mary Jane shook Auden's hand gently, measured but polite.

"By the way, how do you two busy people have time to come back and see me, an old woman?" The five of them sat down to eat breakfast, and Aunt Mei took a sip of milk and asked with some confusion.
