Chapter 119: Life is Impermanent

The four children had a deep prejudice against Chamberlain, and they were all looking at him angrily, Bowen said that they were unwilling to be teammates with Chamberlain, which made the eyes of several teenagers on the opposite side red: Nima God, don't you want to be so cruel, we are desperately trying to be teammates with SUPER-Z but have no chance, these little cubs are in the blessing and don't know the blessing.

Chamberlain served to a child, the basketball atmosphere in the United States is really good, many slum children take basketball as their only way out, just like many children in China take the college entrance examination to college as their only way out, so that China was born without math tyrants, and there are countless young basketball masters on the streets of the United States.

The boy was only twelve or thirteen years old, his arms were thin and short, his calves were slender but also very slender, and the basketball was much bigger than his head, but the ball was like a well-behaved elf in his hand, and he was like a small sports car, and he ran to the front court with the ball.

A child turned around and hooked his finger at Chamberlain defiantly, and shouted, "Hey, big man, run faster, don't drag us down!" ”

Chamberlain couldn't help laughing, now even if Kobe Bryant and James are on the same team as him, they don't dare to say such things, I can't imagine that he is being despised by several children on the street now.

The teenagers on the opposite side are obviously Chamberlain's idols, in front of the idols, they are full of expressiveness, so they have strengthened their defense, so that the teenagers on Chamberlain's side are more sad, they have a gap in physical fitness and skills, compared to those who are two or three years older than themselves.

Seeing his teammates being broken twice in a row, Chamberlain smiled wryly and shook his head, they attacked again, and again, a child was disrupted by the teenager's pressing, he no longer watched or stood on the inside to respond, this situation strategy was useless, the children could not pass the ball to his hands.

As soon as Chamberlain turned around, he threw off Bowen and rushed up quickly to jam the young man, and the child who was being forced looked happy, and hurriedly ran past Chamberlain with the ball, and the young man was blocked by Chamberlain.

After completing the tactical goal, Chamberlain was about to leave, but the young man he was stuck with reached out and grabbed him, looked at him excitedly and nervously, and stammered and yelled at the audience: "Hurry, hurry, hurry up and take a picture, Harry, hurry up and give me, give me a close-up!" ”

Chamberlain turned his head and saw that there were two black children on the field who were taking pictures in his direction with simple mobile phones, and he immediately understood the plans of the teenager around him, so he immediately changed his attitude to be serious, stuck the teenager, and even made the action of tearing the teenager's jersey, which was extremely realistic.

There was a burst of cheers off the court, this is the true meaning of charity activities, if Chamberlain is here for a strong dunk block or something, the fans will not buy it, what is it for the NBA stars to bully these little people? But Chamberlain didn't do that, but played with them and gave them what they wanted, and that's what really satisfied them.

What do fans want? Want to see NBA stars dunk in? , what that thing has on the computer is something they really want to save face and use it to brag and show off to their friends in the future.

In the later games, Chamberlain generally rarely entered the penalty area, but only helped the children cover or hold the ball on the outside, and occasionally cooperated with two back hits, not to score, but to let the teenagers take pictures and leave photos of playing against him.

Even if he is in the opposite position with Bowen, Chamberlain will not really take his back play seriously, he just relies on his height to make two long-range shots, and the shooting rate is not bad, of course, this is also related to the reason why Bowen is only symbolic to defend.

The children and teenagers around the stadium kept going up and down, and there were some young people behind them, and the rhythm of the game was raised, and the intensity became different from before, although it could not force Chamberlain to show his real level, but it also forced him to start entering the inside line.

After grabbing a rebound, Chamberlain himself took the ball to the front court to attack quickly, a young man with tattoos on his arm wanted to steal, Chamberlain's knee twisted, his body turned quickly like a spinning top, and he broke through with the youth, and then the basket was empty, and a young man on his side stood under the basket, seeing this, he did not hesitate, and immediately threw the ball to the hoop.

"Bang dang!" The young man jumped up and received the ball and came to a violent dunk, Chamberlain punched hard, and when the young man ran back, he took the initiative to jump up and bump the chest with the young man.

Bowen smiled at the scene and said to Chamberlain, "I didn't expect you to be here for the event, man, I was the only one here on David Stern's notice, I thought the rest of the league was going home for Christmas." ”

After more than an hour of play, Chamberlain and Bowen came off the pitch, put on his coat, shrugged and smiled: "I'm also surprised, this is California, how did you get here from San Antonio?" As far as I know, the snow disaster in Texas seems to be worse! ”

Bowen's wife, Adere, walked up and put on a down jacket for Bowen and said with a smile: "Bruce came here early, he saw the weather forecast that there was heavy snow, he was worried about the closure of the airport and the highway, so he left home two days early, and even Christmas Eve was spent here." ”

Hearing this, Chamberlain was suddenly in awe, and Bowen's impression in his heart completely changed. Maybe Bowen is a real villain on the court, his defense is really dirty, but it is out of dedication, off the court, he is a real philanthropist, not the kind of philanthropist who donates money, but really has been working hard to change the survival of the disadvantaged.

In fact, when away from the basketball court, Bowen is a well-mannered person. The NBA officially requires every player to participate in 12 public welfare activities a year, and Bowen has participated in far more than this number, and he participates in more than 50 public welfare activities every year, which is the highest among active players in the NBA!

"He's always busy, I don't think he's going to play, he's going to run for president, he seems to be more worried than the president." "When we got married, I told him that he was allowed to go out a maximum of four times a week, except for the game, and the fact is that he probably went out four times a week, and it affected me later, and I followed him to those places. ”

Saying this, Yardley's eyes looking at Bowen were as soft and warm as ever, Li Qun looked at the two of them enviously, and said softly in Mandarin: "This is the same thing, right?" ”

After the game, it was time for the gifts to be distributed, and Bowen picked up a young fan who was only about three or four years old and asked Chamberlain, "Man, what about the gifts you brought?" Why don't you show it yet? ”

Chamberlain looked at the two large trucks outside the door in amazement and asked, "Isn't that my gift?" ”

Bowen laughed all of a sudden, and said, "Are you kidding?" I brought it, and I sent it yesterday, are you sure it's yours? ”

Chamberlain looked at Winnie, who made a few urgent gestures, took out his mobile phone and made a call, as the call progressed, her face became more and more ugly, Chamberlain's heart suddenly sank, he knew that something might be wrong.

Sure enough, after Winnie finished calling, she walked up to him and whispered, "Damn, our truck broke down on the road, and no repair shop was willing to go out to repair it because of the heavy snow, so we kept lying on the road." ”

Bowen, who was walking in front, saw Chamberlain suddenly stop, so he turned around and greeted: "Man, let's hand out Christmas presents, what are you doing there?" ”

Chamberlain was embarrassed, he helplessly spread his hands and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything. The only way he could think of a reissue was to use money to solve the problem, and that was to give each family a portion of the dollars.

But that's obviously not the original purpose of the charity event, an electric grill is the same price as a hundred dollars, but can it be worth the same thing? The gifts given by the stars are treasures worth collecting, but what is the difference between the money they give and ordinary coins?

Bowen has a high IQ, otherwise he would not have been able to mix smoothly with the Spurs, who have always been known for their tactical complexity, and he saw the problem in Chamberlain's expression and came up to ask what was going on.

After Chamberlain said the question, Bowen suddenly laughed, and he waved his hand and said, "What kind of problem is this?" Don't I have two truckloads of gifts here? Come on man, give me my gift first, and when your car is fixed and come here, we'll give it out again, how about it? ”

Bowen's performance today really changed Chamberlain's impression of him, and he said a little embarrassed: "How can this work? ”

Bowen patted his arm and said, "It's nothing, as long as you can give me two less big hats in the Western Conference Finals in the future." ”

Chamberlain laughed, Bowen continued to walk forward, Chamberlain thought for a moment and made up his mind to call Bowen, who looked back at him in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chamberlain stepped forward, he looked at Bowen sincerely, and said, "I'm sorry about the last game." ”

Bowen smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Things on the field are on the field, that's work, and it has nothing to do with life." But Z, you actually did a good job last time, at least as your opponent, I don't dare touch your teammates anymore, and I think in the Warriors, those people must be your teammates, they must be at ease, they have a great comrade on the court, they deserve to hand over their backs. ”

Chamberlain remembered the current conflict between him and Davis, and the scene when he carried Davis off the court after Bowen injured his black foot.

The reality is sometimes so cruel and helpless, who would have thought that at that time, Chamberlain was even willing to do something to Bowen for Davis, and would avenge him at all costs even if he was saddled with the notorious name of a villain on the court, but now the two of them are so bad that one of them must leave the Warriors!

But just like Bowen said, things on the field should not be confused with life, it is work, he shook his head to shake off these messy thoughts, smiled and walked side by side with Bowen to the smiling Shirley and Li Qun and others.

After walking a few steps, Chamberlain smiled and joked: "In fact, I was also worried after elbowing you, I thought you would stand up and fight with me, you know, I was a rookie at that time, and I didn't dare to fight on the court." ”

Bowen shook his head and said, "No, I would never fight anyone on the court, because there are so many kids watching me off the court, how can I let them see something as ugly as a brawl happening on the sacred NBA court?" ”

Chamberlain was stunned, what did he want to say, Bowen preemptively said: "You must think that my approach is contradictory, I don't want to bring a bad influence to the child, and I still make so many small actions, right?" ”

Chamberlain nodded, he did have this doubt before, Bowen patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Like I said before, that's my job, the NBA is a professional league, there are some things I can't do anyway, but it's my job to help the team win, so there are some things I have to do!" ”
