The sound of water in the bathroom stopped abruptly, and then a man with a beard and a bare upper body opened the bathroom door and stepped out. On closer inspection, this man is none other than the Asian man who was called 'king' by the little black boys on the basketball court in the evening.

Walking into the living room, there is a man on the sofa drinking red wine and watching a TV show. Seeing the bearded man sitting silently on the side, he just turned his face and smiled faintly, and then still focused his eyes on the TV in front of him.

The man with the beard and bare upper body saw that the man did not speak, and he did not seem to have anything to say, and after sitting down, he immediately put a towel over his face, and lay down on the sofa lazily.

"Do you know how much money you're going to lose if you don't participate in the draft?" After a while, the man who had been drinking red wine put down his glass, turned his face and said with a smile.

Hearing this, the man with the beard did not speak immediately. After a while, he tore off the towel on his face, sat up and looked at the man who was talking with a smile, and then silently picked up the phone on the table next to him.

"Do you really want me to go to the draft?" The bearded man smiled and looked at the phone in his hand, and continued, "Are you sure you want me to call George now?" It's still time to sign up. ”

"Haha, aren't you afraid that George will scold you?" The red wine man said this, but he immediately reached out and snatched the phone from his hand, and changed his words: "Don't forget, you have to return the money to me twice in the future." ”

"Don't worry, everything I have in the future will be yours."

The man with the beard and bare upper body said and lay back on the sofa, looked at the ceiling in a daze, and then said quietly: "Your life was saved by you, as long as you can make my parents worry about food and clothing, I don't care about anything else." ”

"By the way, I never believe that the reason why you are willing to play basketball again is really because of my hard persuasion and scolding?" The red wine man asked with a smile on his face.

"You've been asking this question for so many years, do you want me to say it again?" The bearded man said lightly.

"Looks like you're still reluctant to tell me the real reason."

Hearing this, the red wine man smiled helplessly, paused and continued: "Then you rest, I'll go back first." Don't be late for tomorrow's signing. With that, the wine man got up from the couch.

"Don't worry, I'll be there on time." The bearded man replied casually.

Seeing that the man in front of him was still lying on the sofa very lazily as many years ago, and he didn't even look at himself when he spoke, the red wine man smiled bitterly, and then turned around and walked out. But just as he was about to reach the door, the bearded man's voice suddenly rang out again.

"Senior Han Bin, thank you for your kindness to me over the years. I won't let you down again this time. ”

"Don't talk about Wang Yu like that, I, Han Bin, will definitely stick to what I Han Bin believes in. The reason why I have been doing this for many years is not only for you, but also because I want to fulfill one of my own dreams. Han Bin, who was standing at the door, smiled, opened the door and said, "Don't say this kind of thing again in the future, haven't you said it for many years?" Hehe. ”

"Okay, I'll not say anything. See you tomorrow. Wang Yu said and stretched out his hand into the air and waved, and then there was no sound.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." After Han Bin finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out.

Soon after Han Bin left, Wang Yu sat up from the sofa. Looking at a certain Chinese TV program playing on the TV, his eyes were empty and deep. After a while, I don't know what kind of stimulation he was in, he suddenly grabbed the wine glass on the table and smashed it at the TV.

Syllable...

With a crisp sound, the glass shattered to the ground, and the faint red liquid instantly blurred the black-eyed and yellow-skinned faces on the TV.

"Do you know why I kept avoiding you all this time..."

Looking at the photo of a girl on his phone, Wang Yu's eyes were full of tears at some point, and he choked up and whispered: "I can't help but avoid you, because I found that I have unconsciously liked you, if you are still there, I will definitely tell you that I like you, if you are still there, how I hope you can accompany me to old age." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Yu gently kissed the girl's photo, and then said: "You have been paying for me in the past, and I will give everything for you from today on." You know, the reason why I'm willing to appear on the court again is to let you know that I haven't changed, and I'm still the Wang Yu you know..."

Tears flowed down, Wang Yu looked at the girl's photo in a daze, and continued: "Didn't you say you like basketball? Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your wish on the court, if you still love me, remember to come back to see me often, I really miss you, Xiaoping..."

In the huge living room, the cry echoed faintly. No one answered Wang Yu's confession, and no one comforted his blood-dripping heart.

………

………

8:00 a.m. PT, Toyota Center, Houston.

Morey, the general manager of the Rockets, is sitting in his office at the moment, watching the ongoing NBA draft through a TV on the wall. A moment later, a female secretary was about to turn around and leave after delivering coffee, but was stopped by Morey.

"What's the matter, Manager?" The girl asked softly.

"Hasn't my guest arrived yet?" Morey asked eagerly.

"Have you forgotten that the time you agreed with the guest was 8:30, and there is still more than half an hour?" The girl reminded with a smile.

Hearing the girl's reminder, Morey was slightly stunned, then slapped his head and said with a smile: "Hehe, I was too anxious to make the wrong time." Thanks for the coffee, you go out and get busy. ”

Seeing the manager's unusual behavior, although the girl was very interested in the unknown guest, because of the unchanged position, she had to calm down the strong curiosity, smiled faintly, and turned around and walked out.

After the female secretary left, the anxious look on Morey's face eased slightly, but he still kept looking at the watch on his wrist. After a few moments, he seemed to be a little tired of the torture, and immediately got up from his seat and strode out of the office.

………

………

On the highway, Han Bin and Wang Yu were driving quickly in the direction of Houston at the moment. The two talked and laughed along the way, and time passed not slowly.

"Wang Yu, I still think the Spurs are more suitable for you, why do you have to choose the Rockets? The Spurs' conditions are much better than theirs. Han Bin asked with a smile.

"You actually know in your heart why I chose Team Rocket, but you don't want to say it." Wang Yu looked ahead, smiled faintly, and continued: "I know that you are thinking about me from the perspective of long-term career development, but to be honest with you, I am not worried about which team I am in at all. ”

"Why? Are you really that confident? Han Bin asked with a smile.

"Isn't self-confidence what you've always wanted me to have?" Wang Yu asked with a smile, paused and continued: "Don't worry, I'll be fine with the Rockets, I'm no longer the CBA rookie I was back then." At the Rockets, we will maximize our value, and while I know that a big reason they signed me was to solidify the basketball market in China and Asia, it would be good for us to do the same. ”

"But the Spurs promised to give you a chance to start?" Han Bin continued to ask.

"Huh, starter?" Wang Yu smiled coldly, turned his face and asked, "What do you think is the significance of Jeremy Lin's honorary starting position now?" ”

"Forget it, since you're so confident, I won't ask more."

Han Bin smiled and nodded, and suddenly felt that the boy in front of him had really grown up, so he thought about it and asked, "After the contract is over, you and I will go to the newly rented house with me to have a look, and if we are not satisfied, we will change to something else." ”

"No need, it's up to you to call the shots." Wang Yu closed his eyes slightly as he spoke, and said, "I have other things to do after the signing is over, so you don't have to wait for me to come back first." ”

"Okay, I got it." Han Bin said as he reached out and took a bag from the side and put it on Wang Yu's lap, and said, "There are some places where the security is not very good, so take this with you." ”

"What's that? Is it a pistol again? Wang Yu said and opened the bag to see that it was indeed a pistol.

"Do you have a gun license?" Han Bin asked.

"I brought it, and I always carried it with me." Wang Yu said and took out a small notebook from his arms and shook it in front of Han Bin, and quipped: "If you get this thing for me, aren't you afraid that I will go out and rob it?" ”

"Hehe, don't even think about it." Han Bin shook his head with a smile and explained, "Let me tell you, many people over there have this thing on their bodies, and I'm afraid that you will be beaten into a hornet's nest before you take out your gun." ”

"It's not much use to say this, so why are you letting me carry it?" Wang Yu was puzzled.

"It's for the brave, do you understand now?" Han Bin said with a smile.

Hearing this explanation, Wang Yu almost turned his back on it. After a while, he shook his head helplessly, but finally pinned the pistol to his waist.

After this conversation, there was suddenly no topic between the two men, and they fell silent one after another. I don't know how long it took to do this, but just when Han Bin was trying to find a topic to break the silence between them, he suddenly looked up and saw a huge gymnasium appear in front of him.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at their destination today - the Houston Rockets Toyota Basketball Arena.

Han Bin and Wang Yu had just gotten out of the car, and immediately saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man** walking towards them with a smile. After Han Bin was stunned for a moment, he recognized that this person was Morey, the general manager of Team Rocket, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately pulled Wang Yu and greeted him with a big smile.

After a few simple greetings, Han Bin and Wang Yu were brought into the general manager's office by Morey. Soon after the guest and the host were seated, both sides did not detour anymore, and immediately took out the documents they had prepared and put them on the table.

"We absolutely sincerely want to sign Wang Yu, if there is anything not satisfied with the contract, we can put it forward now, and we will discuss it." Morey said with a smile.

"No need, the most important thing to do business is the word 'letter', since it has been said, there is no need to change it." Wang Yu smiled faintly, and immediately signed his name on the contract.

"You can rest assured, although Wang Yu has to start from the bench for the time being, his playing time will not be less than that of Jeremy Lin, who started at all. We will resolutely fulfill the conditions we promised. Wang Yu and Han Bin's refreshing style made Morey very happy, and he took the red wine from the secretary's hand and handed it to the two of them, and said with a smile: "I have seen Wang Yu's training, and I fully believe in my choice." Come, I wish us a happy cooperation and cheer together. ”

"Don't worry, I won't let your champion sign go away for nothing." Wang Yu smiled and drank the red wine in the glass.

"I also believe that you will do it, otherwise I'm afraid the boss will fire me, haha." Morey was full of confidence, and his eyes were full of smiles.

………

………

When Han Bin stayed in Morey's office and continued to do some trivial things with him, Wang Yu had already left the headquarters of Team Rocket and was walking alone on the streets of Houston.

At this moment, it was not yet noon, but the sun was a little hot.

Wang Yu suddenly let out a long breath as he walked, looked up at the draft screen of the disciples in the square in the distance, and then smiled faintly inexplicably.

Unintoxicated by the thrilling images and not basking in the excitement of signing to an NBA team, Wang Yu shook his head and immediately strode to the side of the road and reached out to hail a taxi.

At this moment, somewhere in the distance, there was a very important person waiting to see him.

(Three shifts a day, the first shift today.) ）
