The images on the screen flow slowly, and this is a heartwarming story.

Siakam Jr. was born in the seaside city of Douala, Cameroon, the son of a former professional athlete who is now the mayor of the town.

A good home-schooling environment gave Siakam Jr. the power to choose, and his father wanted him to inherit the mantle and become an athlete, and the recommended sport was basketball.

But the stubborn and rebellious Siakam Jr. wanted to become a priest, and he was sent by his father to a disciplined seminary.

However, the father did not give up on the dream of making his child an athlete, he knew that his child was talented, but he did not know what to do in the future.

So, the father decided to inspire his child's passion for basketball in a special way, and he chose to write letters to the 30 NBA teams.

They unexpectedly received a letter from an NBA team inviting them to watch a game in the United States.

So, I came to Los Angeles, I came to Stamps, and I watched the Clippers and Cavaliers play.

Siakam Jr. was extremely excited, watching the Clippers win the game, and the excitement of the game completely conquered him.

He decided to pursue a career in basketball and made it his dream to enter the NBA.

The documentary is as simple as it is profound, with the modest but clean streets of Douala, rows of palm trees, white churches, blue sea, and black children.

In stark contrast to bustling Los Angeles, it highlights the huge gap between dreams and reality, which is meaningful.

But Min Congda is really full of question marks when he looks at this documentary, Michael Kee and Riccelle appear in it, when did they shoot it?

Why didn't I get notified?

Min Congda appeared in this film, which is the famous scene of yelling at the referee at the critical moment of the game, and then putting the popcorn bucket on the referee's head.

"It turns out that these goods were filming behind my back at that time? I remember, Ida called me that day and said what kind of fan event the team was going to do, couldn't that be it? ”

"Why did you show this film at the charity dinner, and what were the intentions? What's the conspiracy? ”

Min Congda sensed that something bad was about to happen.

Because Silva's bald head had been staring at Min Congda with an affectionate gaze.

It seems that Min Congda is the protagonist of today's dinner.

Min Congda felt a chill in his back, can there be any good results from being the protagonist of the charity dinner?

What to do? Do you want to run? But how to run? and pee?

It's a shame, Daddario is still there.

Bite the bullet and finish reading this "Special Guest".

The lights came on, there was a round of applause, and Silva took the stage again.

"It's a story between the Los Angeles Clippers and a regular fan on the other side of the globe. This story embodies the long-standing spirit of the NBA, which is to value the wishes and ideas of every fan and make them a member of the NBA family. Now, let's bring to the stage the Clippers' general manager, Mr. Smart Min, who single-handedly led this meaningful event. He is also the initiator and leader of this charity fundraising party, because of his kindness and advice, the NBA decided to set up the African Children's Basketball Development Foundation to support more African children and participate in the basketball and NBA family! ”

"Smart! Please come to the stage and speak for us! ”

The spotlight hit Min Congda, and everyone else was stupid.

I RNM, Silva you backstabbed me? Don't even notify me?

Saying that he was going to come to dinner, how did it turn into a fundraiser? There is also who filmed this film, and who you go to.

How did I become the initiator and proposer, aren't you?

His heart was roaring, but his face was trying his best to remain calm.

Daddario's gaze at Min Congda was full of adoration.

She nudged Min Congda and said, "Go up, good Smart." ”

Min Congda can only go on stage hard, and this kind of impromptu speech in the United States, the surprise scene can be regarded as a kind of culture.

He shook hands with Silva on stage, and Silva said softly, "We want to surprise you." Mr. Stern has decided to nominate you for the Walt Kennedy Best Citizen Award, and you are the first general manager to be nominated. ”

When Min Congda heard it, why do you want to give me an award?

Best Citizen Award? I'm not a citizen of the United States.

Forget it, it's okay to say that the prize is not awarded, and now this fundraising is terrible.

How much do you want me to donate when I catch ducks on the shelves?

Why donate money to let African children play basketball?

Are you kidding, can you get a way out of playing basketball?

Playing football and basketball is destined to be a golden road for a few people and a dead end for the majority.

Africa's outstanding young people should devote themselves to national production and construction.

When the country is developed and rich, more and more people will naturally be able to take off production to engage in the sports they love.

The way we do it now is that all people play football and play football, and in the end, it will only make the youth of a country a base for Western professional sports groups to plunder talents.

It is unfair to let a very small number of people become heroes at the top of the pyramid, and the vast majority of people become bones at the bottom of the pyramid.

Min Congda has a thousand words in his heart, and there are thousands of truths, but in fact, he just doesn't want to donate money.

But the atmosphere was here, and the crowd was staring at him.

Even if he said those big truths, he couldn't change anything.

It's not bad to get some money to buy some good clothes and shoes for African children.

He could only comfort himself with this.

However, let him say something nice and flattering, and he couldn't swallow it.

So, Min Congda cleared his throat, stood in front of the microphone, and said: "More than a hundred years ago, the Chinese were called the sick man of East Asia by white Westerners, because we did not attach importance to sports, we were invaded, plundered, and eroded by drugs. Sixty years ago, when the Chinese stood up again, our president put forward a slogan, 'Develop sports, strengthen the people's physique'. After 60 years of historical development, the Chinese have taken off the hat of the sick man of East Asia in all aspects. ”

"Right now, the same problem is facing our African brothers in the Third World, where poverty, hunger, and disease are afflicting on the birthplace of humanity and against the people of the homeland of many African-American players in the NBA league. Many of you here today are compatriots of African descent, descendants of your ancestors, brothers and sisters, who are suffering from infirmity and sickness, and are living precariously lives. Your day's salary is their life's income. Your day's consumption is their life's work. Your day's enjoyment is their lifelong dream. ”

"Friends, how can we sit idly by? Let them sink into despair. Guys, how can we be indifferent? Look at them as hopeless. Ladies and gentlemen, how can we not dedicate a little of our strength to light a lamp of hope for those in need? Let them have the motivation to stay away from sickness, poverty, war, dignity, confidence, and health to live, and to finish their lives! ”

Therefore, I suggest that everyone contribute their part to the foundation and dedicate the flame that ignites the lamp of hope! Make your own contribution to the betterment of the world! Thank you, thank you! ”

After Min Congda finished speaking, the scene erupted in warm applause.

Min Congda's speech was concise, sonorous and full of appeal.

Although everyone feels a little wrong, it seems to have something to do with basketball, but it doesn't have much to do with it.

Why do you still mention that we Westerners say that you are the sick man of East Asia? It's rude to call us barbaric, isn't it?

But the atmosphere has come to this, and the incitement of the speech is enormous, and everyone is enthusiastic and applauding.

For a moment, Min Congda felt that he could run for president of the United States, and his whole body floated.

It wasn't until he came down that Silva reminded him: "Smart, your speech is excellent, so touching." As a leader, donate the first amount. ”

"Uh... How much should I donate? ”

"The minimum standard is $50,000."

When Min Congda heard this, he almost fainted.
