Wen Hao walked quickly to the training hall, but saw that No. 11 was already doing strength exercises there. The empty training hall was only the sound of the "click" of the training equipment and the heavy wheezing of the 11th. Wen Hao was stunned for a moment, and then relieved, a few years ago, when No. 11 was still in the middle of the sky, there were three people who trained hardest in the NBA: Kobe, No. 11 and Garnett. Now that No. 11 is back on Team Rocket, he is still working so hard. One cannot but admire his determination and perseverance.

At this time, No. 11 also saw Wen Hao, smiled, and said: "When I played with Maddie a few years ago, his personal trainer said that after the game, doing some corresponding strength training will be of great help to the recovery of muscles and the improvement of strength. ”

Wen Hao nodded, he had indeed heard of this. As he walked to the center of the arena, he said to No. 11, "So I'm here to work with you." ”

No. 11 stopped to wipe his sweat and continued to train, he said while practicing: "Wen Hao, the whole of China is now just the two of us playing in the NBA, we are carrying a heavy burden, the hope of 1.3 billion people." Although this is not necessarily voluntary, we are Chinese, and since the day we chose the NBA, this burden has not fallen on our shoulders by choice. We can't run away from it, we can only provoke it or be crushed. I need you to pick it up with me. ”

Wen Hao stopped and turned his head to look at No. 11. He didn't expect the 11th to have such high hopes for himself. After a moment of silence, he smiled slightly and said, "Let's pick it up together." ”

"Hmm." The word 11 is not very important, but the firmness in the voice can be truly felt.

Wen Hao didn't speak again, he walked to the center of the stadium and checked today's task in his mind. I saw that the information in my mind was: 50 kg bench press 10 times, push-ups 100 times, frog jump 100 times, sit-ups 100 times, 20-meter switchback run 10 sets.

After reading this information, Wen Hao's eyes widened. Although the amount of training is not very large, it is not small. And it's already twelve o'clock in the evening, and when these trainings are done, won't it be two or three o'clock?

Shaking his head and glancing at No. 11 who was training next to him, Wen Hao finally made up his mind to do it! In order to enhance his physique, to gain a firm foothold in the NBA, and to pick up the so-called burden with No. 11, he must do it, although he doesn't even know if he can stay with the Rockets tomorrow.

While Moon Hao and No. 11 were sweating in the training hall, the Rockets' post-game press conference was being held. Head coach McHale walked into the venue, and he didn't look very good after losing, so he sat down silently and said only two words: "Start." ”

The reporters on the court raised their hands and asked questions, all of them were questions about how McHale laid out his tactics in the game, and many questions about Sparks, Beard and Jeremy Lin, and even one person asked McHale about No. 11: "May I ask the head coach, No. 11 played 15 minutes today, got 11 points, 6 rebounds and three blocks, and has shown his threat on both offensive and defensive ends, have you considered letting him switch to the main team?" If No. 11 plays the main team, how will he and Howard's playing time be divided? Or just hit the twin towers? ”

McHale listened to this reporter's question, shook his head, and said: "Everyone knows that the Rockets play fast-paced, and No. 11 may return to the top, but he is not suitable for the Rockets' system. I don't want to talk much about this, are there any other questions? ”

The reporters were silent for a moment, they had asked all the questions they wanted to ask, they had asked about the big players of the Rockets, and there was nothing more to ask. McHale nodded, got up and was about to leave.

At this moment, a reporter with black-rimmed eyes who looked like an intern suddenly raised his hand and said, "Please wait a minute, Mr. Kevin." ”

McHale paused, frowned, and sat back in his seat.

The intern stood up, seemed to look at the reporters around him timidly, and when he saw that the reporters around him were looking at him, he quickly withdrew his gaze, did not dare to look at it again, but looked down at his notebook, and read: "Please ask Coach Kevin, the Rockets chased the score to 2 points in the second half of the third quarter and the first three minutes of the fourth quarter through the continuous assists of that Chinese." But when the Rockets' main players came on the court, they couldn't chase those two points back. Have you ever thought that if you had left Moon on the field at the time, the outcome would have been different? ”

With that, the intern glanced at McHale apprehensively. This question of his own is equivalent to questioning McHale's employment, and perhaps McHale will be angry because of it.

The reporters around were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect this reporter to ask such a question, it turned out to be a question about a character who didn't enter the stream.

"Hmph, at first glance, it's a stupid student who asks this kind of question." A reporter next to him whispered.

"This is the case with a kid who has never seen the world, and he deserves to care about the characters who are not in the stream." Another journalist also said with a smile.

When the intern heard the words of the two men, he became even more apprehensive, and it seemed that he should not have asked this question. But after a few moments, he raised his head again. Yes, he may not be a good journalist and not follow in the footsteps of the big names like everyone else, but he dares to express his true thoughts.

McHale cleared his throat at this point, he had long since expected that there would be a blind reporter asking such a question. Glancing at the venue, he said slowly, "Are you questioning my employment?" I don't have any problems with the people I use and I believe that any manager will play in that situation. It's true that Wen made consecutive good passes in the third and fourth quarters, but when the opponent's main players are on the court and the defense and offense are strengthened, can Wen still pass such good balls? What coach would dare to take such a risk? And Wen played seven minutes, there were four mistakes, can such a person be used? ”

These few words made the intern bow his head. McHale finished speaking, and then he didn't look at the intern again, and turned to leave the room. After the reporters around glanced at the intern a few times with a playful gaze, they also left the venue with a smile, leaving the intern alone, looking down at the data about Wen Hao in his notebook, feeling aggrieved. But after a while, he raised his head, thinking about Wen Hao's performance tonight, he closed the notebook: "Wen Hao, I believe in you, you will definitely surprise everyone." ”

At half past two in the middle of the night, Wen Hao finished the last set of 20-meter round-trip runs, sat on the floor with his butt back, leaned back, and supported the ground with both hands. Bean-sized beads of sweat shone in the light, and the chest rose and fell violently, like a mountain wind about to come.
