Chapter 69: The Eve of the Draft (Part I)
Today's first chapter, it's more warm, everyone should do something after reading it.
――――――――――――――――――――――
The day of the draft is approaching day by day, and in addition to insisting on daily training, Tang Shuai is also thinking about another personal problem.
Speaking of which, when he came to the United States from China, among the people around him, only Su Mei knew his true purpose, including his parents, he didn't know what he was doing in the United States, although it was foreseeable that after the draft prediction list came out, many people, including his room, would guess his purpose for going to the United States, but he didn't have any serious contacts.
As the draft day approaches, it is also important for him to make it clear to the people around him, especially since Duffy has already arranged a place for him in the draft, and he also needs someone to be around.
On this day, after finishing his daily training, he went back to the hotel to take a shower, locked himself in his room alone, and when it was nightfall, he took out his mobile phone and began to pull out the address book, ready to call one by one.
The first call was to his parents, speaking of which, his parents didn't know about going abroad, and as he grew older, the communication with his parents became less and less, and the content of the communication seemed to only stay at the level of asking for warmth, and often hung up the phone without saying a few questions.
The phone was dialed out, and it took a while for the other side to pick it up, and it was my mother who answered the phone, and her voice was a little hoarse.
"Mom, do you have a cold?" He asked, a little worried.
Tang Shuai's family conditions are average, his mother's maiden family has many children, at the beginning, his mother's family had been giving birth because he had always wanted a boy, so he had been giving birth, and in the end he had given birth to six girls, which had his first son, and the mother who was sandwiched among the six daughters, was obviously little sheltered and cared for, and he didn't go to school for a day, and now he was more than fifty years old, and he got up early every day to do some small business, because of the irregular work and rest all the year round, he fell into a lot of diseases, and sometimes a small cold, It would make his mother seriously ill, so when he heard his mother's cough, he couldn't help but worry.
"No, I accidentally choked on drinking water just now." Mother coughed a few more times as she spoke.
Tang Shuai's heart trembled, it must have been his mother who saw the phone and was anxious to answer it, so he choked.
When his mother's cough subsided a little, Tang Shuai continued: "Mom, I'm calling you in the United States now, it should be just morning on your side, right?" ”
"You're going to the United States?" The mother's side looked surprised.
"Well, Mom, I'm going to play basketball to make money, and now in the United States, I want to participate in a draft, if I am selected, there will be a lot of money, and then I will be able to bring you all to the United States." Tang Shuai introduced as simply as possible that his mother knew that he played well, but NAB was a very unfamiliar word to his mother.
"Can you make money playing basketball? Could it be a money fraud, it is better to make money or to work seriously, and where did the American mother go, no one on the side knows anyone, maybe you can get lost when you buy a vegetable and go, or you don't go. ”
"Mom, you don't have to worry about this, when you get to the United States, I'll hire a nanny for you, you just need to stay at home with your dad and enjoy Qingfu."
"No, no, I'm fine here, if you have time, it's good to go home a few more times."
When Tang Shuai heard this, the corners of his eyes were inexplicably sour, and he wanted to say something, but he found that he was choked up and couldn't speak, his mother's wish was always so simple.
"Mom, are you there?"
Just then, there was a shout at the door.
There was a shout on the other end of the phone, and the mother paused for a while, and then said, "Your sister is here." ”
"Grandma!"
There was another shout on the other end of the line.
"Xiaojie is here too." Mother spoke again.
"Come, come over Xiaojie, talk to your uncle." Mother shouted.
Tang Shuai also has a sister at home, and Xiaojie is his nephew.
"Uncle!"
After a while, Xiao Jie's immature voice came from the other end of the phone.
Tang Shuai relieved himself, his sister came, and he knew that he couldn't tell his mother clearly, so after talking to Xiaojie, he asked him to give the phone to his sister.
My sister has read books, although she doesn't understand the NBA, but after he described it, my sister also understood, and after knowing that the draft he was going to participate in might have a lot of money, my sister's mood improved a lot, and she pulled her mother to talk about him.
Tang Shuai finally told his sister about taking them abroad, and like his mother, his sister was also unwilling, after all, people who live in small places are used to wanting to go to a strange place, and it is difficult to make this determination.
In the end, he also gave up this idea, but he made up his mind to send more money to the family so that his mother would not be tired like this anymore.
Hung up his mother's phone, he recovered after a while, picked up the phone and called Qin Yujie again.
Because he changed to an American card after arriving in the United States, Qin Yujie was very polite when he picked up the phone, but he didn't expect Qin Yujie, who usually spoke loudly, to be so polite when he picked up a stranger's phone, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Damn! Old Don! It's you! From his laughter, Qin Yujie had already heard that it was him, and the four years of college life made them no longer familiar with each other's voices.
Qin Yujie was on the phone, and the most natural thing was to complain that Tang Shuai had not called them, and said that they shouted at everyone in the dormitory early in the morning that day, and they were almost dragged to criticize by the dormitory manager.
When Tang Shuai heard this, he leaned back and forth with laughter, and the people in the dormitory were always so funny.
asked about Qin Yujie's girlfriend, unexpectedly, she said that she had broken up, I don't know if it was because Tang Shuai's bond was not there, the senior sister found a freshman who played very handsome, and Qin Yujie also fought with the other party for this matter.
The topic was a little heavy, Tang Shuai comforted a few words, told him about his participation in the draft, and was about to hang up the phone.
At this time, Qin Yujie told him one thing, Su Mei left the school, because of the real-name report, the General Sports Association finally made the senior management of the Polytechnic University change the team coach by exerting pressure, and Su Mei didn't seem to want to stay any longer, so she chose to leave the school directly.
When Tang Shuai heard the news, the whole person shuddered, he didn't expect Su Mei to come to such a point because of his matter.
He asked Qin Yujie where Su Mei went, and the answer he got was that he didn't know, after Su Mei left school, it seemed that she had nothing to do with science and technology anymore.
Hung up the phone in a hurry, and Tang Shuai immediately called Su Mei.
When the phone was dialed, he prayed that Su Mei would not change the number, if he did, he might really not be able to contact his coach for the rest of his life.
The phone made a "beep" sound, more beautiful than any beautiful melody.
Thankfully, the phone went through.
