Chapter 163: Someone from the Country
Watching Billups raise the AMVP trophy with a fluttering eyebrow, Chamberlain was happier than he was, applauding vigorously below.
Billups called Chamberlain after speaking, and the two of them jointly lifted the trophy and asked the cameraman to take a picture of them. Chamberlain remembered that West had also come to the scene, so he called West up, who was very moved, but resolutely refused, but Chamberlain still pulled him up to take a group photo together.
It was estimated that hundreds of shots were taken, and Billups asked Chamberlain unsatisfactorily: "Do you want a few more?" ”
Chamberlain was frightened by these words, just to take a photo, and not a posthumous photo, as for taking so much?
As a result, he was just about to refuse, when a soft and ethereal female voice sounded behind him: "Hey, Z, let's take a few pictures together, okay?" It's the first time I've seen an MVP trophy. ”
Chamberlain looked back in amazement and saw Taylor smiling softly at him, and the girl was still wearing his big jersey, as if she were wearing a skirt, and her legs looked fairer and more delicate under the blue fabric. With her delicate facial features, she is as beautiful as a female goblin who came out of the flowers.
Chamberlain stood beside Taylor with a smile, and Billups grinned and wanted to go up, but was stopped by West and whispered, "Chauncey, what are you going up to make a fuss?" ”
Billups said as a matter of course: "I'm AMVP, don't you see the trophy in my hands?" ”
West snatched the trophy that Billups regarded as a treasure and handed it to Chamberlain, resolutely preventing Billups from going up to join in the fun.
Without Chamberlain's invitation, countless cameramen rushed up, and Chamberlain's eyes were occasionally sparkling.
Taylor smiled sweetly, and after the group photo, she waved to Chamberlain and left, Chamberlain breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to leave, but someone next to him said, "Hey, Z, let's take a picture together, shall we?" ”
Chamberlain turned his head and saw that it was Miller, but there was a teenager next to the latter, the teenager was about fourteen or fifteen years old, his appearance was very similar to Miller, and he was tall and thin, in addition, he had a leg band on his leg, which was similar to the thing that Forrest Gump wore on his legs when he was a teenager in "Forrest Gump", but it was not the same thing, the thing tied to Forrest Gump's legs was called a foot brace, which was used to fix the spine and help his legs walk, and the teenager used it because of the weakness of his legs.
Seeing Chamberlain staring at the teenager next to him, Reggie Miller took the initiative to introduce: "This is my son, Reggie Miller Jr., who is also your fan, Z, he would love to take a picture with you." ”
Although old Miller smiled when he spoke, Chamberlain could still see from his sad eyes that there should be a not very good story in this young man, so he enthusiastically walked up and hugged the young man's shoulders and asked kindly: "Oh, of course no problem, he is my fan?" When did you start fascinating me? ”
"Started yesterday." The boy said honestly.
Chamberlain grinned awkwardly and praised, "You are such an honest and good boy." ”
After taking a few photos, Chamberlain was finally able to go back to the dressing room this time, and Miller Sr. yelled at him from behind, "Don't forget my sneakers." ”
Chamberlain finally knew why he insisted on sneakers, Miller was for his son, Barkley was not far away, he walked up with the sneakers that Chamberlain had given him, and after Miller called him 'Uncle Charles', he gave the sneakers to Miller.
Because of trash talk when he was a player, Miller Sr. and Barkley still had a grudge, but in front of future generations, Barkley's performance was impeccable.
With the All-Star Game over and the team getting ready to sprint to the playoffs, the real test is coming.
Chamberlain and Li Qun returned to San Francisco, and as soon as they got out of the airport, they saw a group of Chinese holding red flags and holding banners crowded outside the airport gate.
Chamberlain's face was full of helplessness, needless to say, no one else could do it except his magical daddy who could make this kind of formation.
Li Qun heard Chamberlain say that his parents were coming to pick him up from the airport, so he was always in a more apprehensive mood, his attention was a little erratic, and he didn't look at the Chinese who pulled banners and erected colored flags, she regarded these people as ordinary fans, so when Chamberlain pulled her over and pointed to two Chinese who were less than 1.7 meters tall and said that this was his parents, Li Qun was shocked.
The elegant girl had already guessed that Chamberlain's parents were not as tall as him, but she didn't expect it to be so short, looking at the two elders who were half a head shorter than her, her heart fluctuated, this genetics is really a mysterious thing, what a small probability that such a monster would be created by such two people.
Chamberlain's parents' names are very ordinary, his father's name is Zhang Qiushen, and his mother's name is Yu Xiuzhi, the two are no different from the uncles and aunts Li Qun saw in China.
Seeing Chamberlain and Li Qun, the two elders reacted differently, and Zhang's father directly gave his son a warm hug and shouted: "Good job stinky boy, I finally didn't give you steak in vain when I was a child, continue to work hard in the NBA, and strive to lead our Chinese men's basketball team out of Asia to the world!" ”
After seeing that Chamberlain was stronger than before, Zhang's mother set her eyes on Li Qun, looking at her daughter-in-law, and muttered while watching: "Good girl, good girl." ”
Li Qun hurriedly called 'uncle and aunt', greeting the two of them vigorously, she had prepared a lot of gifts, but these gifts were in the suitcase and couldn't be taken out.
Seeing Li Qun, Zhang's father smiled, stroked the huge beer belly and roared with a rough male duck: "This is a small group, right?" Okay, well, that kid says hello on the phone every day, it's really worthy of the reputation to see you today, and she looks really beautiful! ”
Li Qun hurriedly said, 'Uncle won the award, but the aunt is really beautiful', and she questioned in her heart, isn't the old man from Ludong? How can it be called a southern habit, and the last sentence of the most dear goes around to the northeast?
Chamberlain smiled bitterly, looked at the people who were beating gongs and drums, and said helplessly: "Mom, Dad, can you remove all the banners and flags?" What is 'contemporary Yue Fei'? I know that Yue Fei is your idol you worship the most, but compared with your son and national heroes, you are not afraid of being ridiculed. ”
Father Zhang waved his hand heroically and shouted: "Hey, who will laugh at my old Zhang?" What's the difference between you and Yue Dashuai? They are definitely the pride of our descendants of Yan and Huang, and absolute national heroes! ”
Chamberlain was about to pee, and he estimated that if this kind of scene was posted on the Internet, he would be hacked out.
Sitting in the car, Chamberlain was forced by his father to go back to the old store in Chinatown first, he understood his father's plan, the two old people had suffered for half a lifetime, and they thought that there was no hope in this life, but how did they know that Chamberlain suddenly became so promising, how could he not raise his eyebrows and exhale a little?
Zhang's father just asked Chamberlain to go home, and when he returned home to see his grandfather, the old man with gorgeous hair slapped the table and said: "This year, no matter what, we have to go back to our hometown to worship our ancestors, our Zhang family has finally come up with a figure with a head and a face, and we must comfort the ancestors under Jiuquan and thank them for their blessing!" ”
While talking about the old man, Chamberlain didn't dare to refuse, even the ancestors under Jiuquan were pulled out, what else did he dare to say?
Chamberlain chatted with the old men with a smiling face, and soon after a middle-aged man came in at the door, and he raised his fist and smiled at Chamberlain from afar and said: "Mr. Chamberlain, happy New Year, Wishing you prosperity, I wish you an early championship!" ”
Looking at this older young man in a suit and leather shoes and gold-rimmed glasses, Chamberlain was stunned for a while, he was not familiar with this person, he tried his best to think, but even if he racked his brains, he couldn't think of who was in his family.
It was Zhang's father who introduced him: "This is a guest from our hometown, and he is the deputy director of the sports team management department of the Chinese Basketball Association." ”
Chamberlain vaguely guessed this person's plan, so he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and asked: "It turns out that it is a leading comrade, may I ask your surname?" ”
Leading comrade was a word he had seen in a Chinese newspaper, but he had never used it before, and he felt very embarrassed when he said it.
The older young man in his thirties shook his head with a wry smile after holding Chamberlain's hand, and said, "Don't dare to be a leader, what kind of leader, I am a clerk of our basketball association." I don't dare to say your surname, my surname is Cao, my name is Cao Hong, if Mr. Zhang doesn't dislike it, I will be satisfied with calling me Brother Cao. ”
Cao Hong lowered his posture very low, and his face was humble, giving Chamberlain enough face.
Chamberlain is the kind of person who eats soft and not hard, since people give face so much and have been giving gifts every day since he came - this is what his mother told him just now, he can't lose his courtesy, so he said politely: "Then how can I do it, I should still call you Director Cao." ”
Li Qun coughed softly and whispered: "This Director Cao and my father are old friends, we know each other, and I usually call him Uncle Cao." ”
Chamberlain understood, this Cao Hong can find his door, I am afraid that it is also because Li Qun is building bridges and paving roads, no wonder his father and mother have a good impression of this person, after all, he is a member of his daughter-in-law's family, and he can't treat others slowly, otherwise he will be looked down upon?
Seeing the look of surprise on Chamberlain's face, Li Qun knew that Chamberlain understood everything, she smiled and said to the others, 'Wait a minute', took Chamberlain's hand into a room, and carefully explained: "Uncle Cao is a friend of my father, he now works for the Basketball Association, and before coming to you this time, he contacted me, and I asked him to visit your parents first." ”
"He wants me to play for the Chinese team?" Chamberlain asked straight to the point, in fact, Li Qun made his own decision on this kind of thing without consulting him beforehand, and he was really not very happy.
Li Qun smiled bitterly, hugged Chamberlain's arm and said coquettishly: "I know that this arrangement is not appropriate, but can you listen to my explanation?" Believe me, I'm here for your own good, and besides, there are so many issues involved in this that I need to explain it to you. ”
