Chapter 24: The Second Conversation with the Coach (Part I)

ps: I want to write about the heroine, but after thinking about it, forget it, the heroine will let her appear in Los Angeles, and replace it with this chapter. I hope you can enjoy it and collect more. Thank you. Below is the text.

"What? You're going to a nightclub! Larry was surprised and then angry, "Did you know that you are a professional footballer, you have a positive public image, and you are not afraid of being found out when you go to a nightclub?" ”

"I know......" Aaron said.

"You know, it's you!" Larry angrily said, "You're a superstar, you take your teammates to a nightclub, and what if you find out!" What to do with the team's image......"

"......" Aaron didn't say anything.

Larry looked at this disciple of his own with this expression, and knew that he would not change his own mind. I've been scolding myself for so long, and my anger has almost disappeared. So he said, "Okay, I can't stop you either, but don't take Luke there, he's still a rookie, you know, a lot of people are looking for his flaws, his failures, and he shouldn't be in trouble." ”

"Of course, I won't take him there." Aaron swore to Larry.

"Alright, you guys go. But it's better not for me to see your news in tomorrow's papers. Otherwise, hey, hey, hey......" Larry laughed "lewdly".

"Definitely complete the mission!" Aaron assures Larry like a soldier.

――――――――――――――――I'm a dividing line――――――――――――――――

"What, I can't go?" Luke stood up with a "whoosh".

"No way, Larry won't let you go, we can't go if you go, so we have to sacrifice you, brother." Aaron patted Luke on the shoulder and said.

"Are you sure you didn't let me go just to keep me from paying?" Luke was skeptical of Aaron's words.

"Of course not," Aaron immediately retorted, "if you go to a nightclub, I will pay for you no matter how many times you sleep." But, hey, hey, you can't go. ”

"Damn." Luke "gritted his teeth" said.

"Hehehe, let's go first." Aaron and the others said goodbye to Luke, and suddenly remembered something, stopped and said to Luke: "By the way, Larry told you to wait for him, he has something to do with you." ”

"Huh? The coach came to me. Luke was thinking about it when he saw Aaron and they walked away grinning.

"Damn, I'll let him run away like this this time!" Luke can't help it, in this team you have to listen to the manager, otherwise you can't mix it up at all. I can't go to the nightclub, and I have to go to the head coach. Alas, how can the gap in life be so big!

――――――――――――――――I'm a dividing line――――――――――――――――

"Coach, are you looking for me?" Luke finds Larry.

"That's right," Larry, who was reading some materials, watched Luke come in, put down his things, poured Luke a cup of tea, and said to Luke, "How's it going, are you still angry that I didn't allow you to go to the nightclub?" ”

"Uh......" Luke didn't know what to say, "how could he be angry......"

"Hehehe," Larry laughed, "it's normal to be upset." But there's a benefit to not letting you go to nightclubs. ”

Larry said seriously, "You're not like them. You're a white player, you're a rookie player, and you're drafted into the NBA, and now you're playing some results, and somebody sings your praises and praises you, and you think you're an NBA superstar? Will everyone like you? ”

Larry paused, looked at Luke's face, and then continued: "No, everything is not right, you are just a rookie now, no one will look up to you." Countless people are waiting to see your jokes, waiting for you to make a mess, waiting for you to not play well and being prevented, they can criticize you and crusade against you. Your reputation and confidence will decline, and you will end up unable to stay in this league. And going to a nightclub is the worst one. I don't watch football, but do you know why Pele is the king? ”

"I don't know." For a soccer has been played ...... How so...... As a basketball player, Luke never cared about football (the Chinese team did play a bit like that...... It is said that our school's team is going to submit a war letter to the national football team, and I can't stand it...... Haha, but it's a joke, no one dares to do it), I don't know the ball king or anything at all.

"The reason why a football king is a football king is that in addition to his extraordinary talent, he must also have some outstanding qualities. Bailey doesn't smoke, drink, clubs, etc., etc. Larry said.

"Wait, Jordan is also a superstar of a generation, even the greatest basketball player of all time, but how do you explain that he is a member of the Gold Club [a well-known strip club]? And then there's Chamberlain, who claims to have slept with more than 20,000 women......" Luke asked.

"This ......" Larry couldn't say, but Larry had an idea and said, "But they're all black players, do you see if any of them are white?" ”

"Uh...... It doesn't seem to be. Luke said.

"That's right," Larry wiped his sweat and almost fell into the pit, "you see white players don't have it, white players should be, have an example......"

"Oh......," Luke said.

Larry realized that he couldn't stay on this issue any longer, so he hurriedly changed the question, "Luke, how do you think you guys are doing today?" ”

"It's good, we're ...... the whole team," Luke said.

"Of course I don't mean that," Larry said solemnly, "I mean how about the connection between you and Aaron?" ”

"Not bad," Luke said after a moment's thought, "we've all got ...... cooperate."

"No, no, no," Larry said, shaking his head, "you can't do it at all." I watched your streetball game the day before yesterday......"

"Are you here?" Luke asked, surprised.

"Of course, it's not an unknown place." Larry smiled at Luke and said, "As a manager, you have to go to those places a lot, see the guys who love to play street ball, and see if you can spot some new players." ”

"Do you know what I found?" Larry asked.

"I don't know." Luke said, shaking his head.

"You're very good in singles. Whether it's on the street court or in the NBA, you're out there in singles. You're extremely good at dribbling and breaking, shooting is your side hustle, and it's not at all like a white forward, but a black point guard. The way you play is very wild, if you don't provoke you, you bring courtesy, and if you provoke you, you treat you as an enemy. It's good to be jealous, but it's not a good mindset in a place like the NBA. Of course I can see that you are the kind of player who makes you angry and calmer, and you are very good at controlling your temper. But it's not good. The NBA is a business league where everybody is a commodity, including you, including Allen, and of course me. We live together in this alliance, and maybe someone will be traded tomorrow. What do you do if you go to a team that you don't like, but the bid will be high? Don't play anymore? Retire? Strike? Or go to the management? Of course not. The best way is to leave all the grudges on the field, and everyone is good friends when they are finished. That's how you'll get used to the alliance. ”

"Hmm." Luke listened to Larry's words, took a deep breath, and said, "I see, coach. ”

"Very well," Larry said, looking at Luke, smiling with satisfaction, "Okay, let's get down to business." ”
