Chamberlain did not simply treat training camp as a business, he did put all his heart and soul into the teaching and training of teenagers, and taught these teenagers his experience in the NBA through daily lessons:

"It doesn't matter if you're talented and God is on the court or you don't have any talent, but if you love basketball and want to make your way out of the sport, you have to always think about improving and be ambitious! If you can go to the court, then practice layups, practice shooting, go to the gym then practice your strength, if you can only stay at home, then practice dribbling, in short, take advantage of all the time to practice! Brothers, don't waste your God-given talents, make a pact with yourself often, and make sure to find a way to fulfill those pleads, otherwise don't be surprised when you go to college and don't have your scholarship on the admission list! ”

"Some people are destined not to play center, like I can't play guard, that's fine, there's everyone's wonderful in every position on the basketball court, and the All-Star is always a five-position player, isn't it? If you're short, you should practice shooting, because you won't have a lot of shooting opportunities, don't tell me about Iverson's breakthrough, will you be the next AI? But you can be the next Miller, and when Miller was your age, he even had to walk on a brace. ”

"If there is any confusion, or difficulty, call your sister Li Qun, she will help you, children, don't use any reason as an excuse for you to waste your talent, I have been with you for half a month, I understand your potential, there are some children who are ready to grow into NBA-level players, I will not name these people, but I think you all know who he is, right?"

"Brothers and sisters, the first Z training camp is coming to an end today, I hope this half a month can be of some help to you, I hope you will say when you think about it in the future, participating in Z's training camp, it is not a waste of time, Xie Lu Xie! Thank you! Brothers and sisters, swear to God, I love you! I loved you with all my heart during these fifteen days! ”

The last paragraph is Chamberlain's speech at the closing ceremony of the training camp, he himself is still a big boy, when he said this, he couldn't help but almost shed tears, and these teenagers are even more unbearable, many people have tears in their eyes, and some people are in tears.

Although they are not adults yet, they already have values, and they know what Chamberlain is doing to them.

At the end of the camp, watching the children leave St. Lawrence Middle School step by step, he sighed to Winnie: "I really can't bear these innocent little guys, I hope to see them in the NBA in the future, but I don't want to see them at that time, these little guys have become mercenaries like many people." ”

Winnie was silent for a moment, and then said sincerely: "Z, my dad is right, you are a great guy, no matter what their future holds, but you have planted a seed of dreams for them, as long as they take care of it, one day this seed will grow into a towering tree!" ”

After packing his things, Chamberlain rode home in the car, but in the evening someone rang the doorbell, and he opened it to see two teenagers wearing tailored champion jerseys, one wearing a pair of Mad Dog II sneakers that West had just launched, and the other was Chamberlain's Olympic version of the boots.

The two are Li brothers, their father is Chinese, their mother is black, the two fell in love when they were high school students, but their father was unable to take on the responsibility of the family and left the family when their mother was pregnant, and their mother died in childbirth - no money, the poor woman gave birth at home, and she did not expect that she was pregnant with twins at that time.

These two children are the pearls of potential that Chamberlain tapped in this training camp, when they first came, the other teenagers boycotted the two, calling them big greyhound and little greyhound, but once West encountered this situation, he was very angry, he saw from the two teenagers before coming to the Warriors, the same was resisted, the same loneliness, so he took the initiative to communicate with the two.

It just so happened that West was the idol of Big Brother Bruce Lee, and with the encouragement of the idol, the two children no longer felt sorry for themselves, and they showed all their strength at the training camp.

The two brothers have their own characteristics, and although they are thin, their half-breed blood gives them an extremely powerful body, with excellent jumping, fast speed, and exceptional flexibility. In the first intra-team training match, two brothers from the same group dominated the court, with the younger brother Michael leading the attack and the older brother Bruce finishing the attack.

A total of 48 teenagers participated in this training camp, aged between 12 and 16 years old, and there were eight of them who could dunk, six of these eight teenagers were sixteen years old, and only two were fourteen years old, that was the Li brothers, and they were the two of them with the highest level of dunking.

At that time, it only took half a time for the two brothers to join forces to defeat the opponent, the two of them seemed to be out of a mold, they could shoot suddenly, they could fly and dunk, and there was a very tacit understanding between the two.

Chamberlain invested the most in the two teenagers, he deliberately found scouts to check the background of the teenagers, the two of them carried a lot of cases, worked as gangster thugs, secretly helped drug dealers to transport drugs and trade, as for the theft is countless, if the two were not yet 16 years old, the two would have been sentenced.

But after learning about the family background of the teenagers, Chamberlain sighed, the two of them had no parents, they were raised by their maternal grandparents, both elderly people were sick, their maternal grandmother suffered from cataracts, and maternal grandfather was hit by a gangster car during a trip and broke his waist and had to lie in bed.

Chamberlain paid for their grandmother's surgery, which had just been carried out and had not yet produced the final results.

The two were visibly nervous, fine beads of sweat scattered on their foreheads, and the two brothers kept licking their lips with their tongues.

Chamberlain opened the door, and Bruce was about to say something, but after thinking about it, he took a step back and pushed his brother, motioning for Michael to speak.

After these days of communication, Chamberlain also learned about the temper of the two brothers, brother Bruce has a hard temper, loves to play and make trouble, his style of play is like his temper, open and close, seize the opportunity to dunk, just like an outlaw, the defense is iron-blooded and tough, no matter whether the opponent is inside or outside, he can be impermeable, in addition, he is not like a minor, the stronger the opponent, the more bright the sword ****.

However, he is easily nervous, his nonsense mouth is very slippery, and when it comes to a pinch, he is easy to make fools. In addition, Bruce also has a quality that touches Chamberlain, that is, his complete love for his younger brother Michael, as long as he is on the first team, then Bruce will inevitably defend the opponent's strongest player, and he will grab the best drinks and food when eating and drinking, and then divide his brother in half.

On the contrary, although his physical fitness is also excellent, but he is cool-headed, he is used to organizing teammates to attack in the early stage, once he reaches the last quarter, he begins to exert his strength, once he starts to attack, it is more fierce than Bruce, the offense is like a Gatling gun, the defense is ironclad, and they are all good basketball players.

The two dropped out of school early and were expelled from school in the seventh grade on suspicion of blackmailing the principal.

Seeing Chamberlain, Michael bowed very solemnly, and Bruce quickly bowed when he saw this, but the two obviously hadn't discussed it before, so the latter was a little hurried and pouted his ass like a penguin.

Chamberlain smiled, "Hi Bruce, are you looking for anything on my doorstep?" ”

Bruce blushed, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, no, Mr. Z, we have something to ask you." As he spoke, he turned his gaze to his brother for help.

Michael's eyes were shining, and he said: "Teacher, you know, the two of us have dropped out of school, and we used to think that we were God's outcasts, we had no parents, no friends, nothing, so we never thought about our future, because we are people with no future. But this time we went to the training camp, we thought we should not give up on ourselves, as you said, we can't use any excuse to squander our talents, we want to ask you for help, we are willing to do any job, as long as we can take care of our grandparents and leave the Tendelon community, we don't want to go to jail again, we don't want to have contact with drugs and gangsters anymore! ”

In fact, when he met Chamberlain, he understood their plans, and he also had the intention of helping the two, and now he has a lot of money, but there is a good saying, God never helps those who do not help themselves, so at the end of the training camp, he deliberately ignored the two brothers who hesitated and went home by himself, he wanted to see the attitude of the two.

If they degenerate themselves and continue to go back to gangsters, then let them go, there is no shortage of physical children in the United States, and there are basketball geniuses waiting for him to be discovered. But if they are repentant and self-motivated, then they will not be stingy.

Leaning against the fence gate, Chamberlain's tall body like a god, he looked down on the two teenagers, putting great pressure on them.

Bruce took the initiative to step forward, looked at Chamberlain bravely, and muttered, "I'm not very good at talking, Mr. Z, but I can promise that we will try our best to become the best student under you!" ”

Chamberlain looked directly at the two of them and said slowly: "But it is illegal to hire child labor, I don't know where I should introduce you to, are you willing to go to school?" I can help you find a school, such as St. Lawrence High School. ”

The two were stunned, and Bruce lost his voice: "We have dropped out of school for two years, how can we still go to school?" And we don't understand anything......"

"So what do you want?" Chamberlain asked rhetorically.

The two teenagers were stunned for a moment, and Chamberlain continued to ask: "I'll give you 100 or 200 dollars a day, and then let them practice on the street court every day until you are 18 years old and enter the NBA?" Are you so confident you can get into the NBA? ”

The two teenagers glanced at each other, and suddenly felt a little frustrated. Going to school is the most realistic way out, but they don't understand anything, and they have to start learning from the lower grades, think about that kind of scene, two big teenagers who can dominate on the court but go to class with a bunch of little ones with snot, they will die of shame!

Michael immediately made a decision, gritted his teeth and said, "Teacher Z, we are willing to go to school, we can go to school wherever we want!" ”

Bruce exclaimed, "Shame on you, Michael, and how do you make money?" What about maternal grandfathers and grandmothers? ”

Michael ignored the latter, looked at Chamberlain firmly, Bruce scratched his bald head vigorously, and stood behind with a sad face and did not speak.

Chamberlain patted Michael on the shoulder and said, "Since you have made your decision, then so be it, every day you come to me in the future, I will send you to school, remember, every day, no matter whether it rains, snows or knives!" ”

This is the point where he tests the two of them, the community of Tindelon is 25 kilometers away from the cliff house, and the two children have to come by bicycle, it takes more than 40 minutes a day, if they have the patience and determination, then at most, Chamberlain will help them move out of the Tendelon community.

The two sides said goodbye, Chamberlain closed the door, but not long after, the doorbell rang again, and he looked out the door, it was still the two brothers of the Li family.

Opening the door, Chamberlain asked in surprise, "You two ......?"

"Are you Chamberlain?" A cold voice sounded next to him, Chamberlain lowered his head, only to find that there was another person in front of him, but he was relatively short and only about one meter five, so he didn't see this person before, only the Li family brothers.

The person who spoke was a girl, to be exact, a Lori, at least in front of Chamberlain, who was more than two meters away, this was a Lori, a delicate and cute little Lori.
