Harden never dreamed that he would see his mom in a nightclub.

Originally, he was still indulging in glamorous dances, and he was immediately frightened.

"Mom... Mom? Why are you here? ”

Ms. Willis stepped forward and grabbed Harden's ear and said angrily: "You said you didn't play well tonight, so you want to go to the arena to practice, and that's where you practice?" ”

As a mother, Ms. Willis was there tonight to watch Harden play.

Harden didn't play well and told his mother that he was going to practice more after the game, and Ms. Willis went home first.

How do you know that the mother knows her son best, she soon felt that something was not right, and went back to the Stamp Center to look and found that Harden did not stay in the arena to practice.

Instead, Ricky Davis practiced his three-point shooting in the arena, and Milicic and Bonner practiced mid-range shooting.

She even saw Curry, who had just undergone surgery, with a fixed ring tied to his ankle, standing still and practicing shooting to keep his touch.

After asking, Milicic said that Harden might have gone to a Cat nightclub with Mr. Smart.

Because Min Congda had just sent a message to Milicic asking him if he wanted to go to Cat for a drink.

Milicic wanted to go home with his daughter, but politely refused, and he was ready to quit drinking when he arrived in Los Angeles.

Ms. Willis, who got the news, immediately went after Cat, blocked Min Congda in the private room, and now arrested her son Harden.

In the face of his mother's questioning, Harden couldn't quibble, but it was really embarrassing to be pulled by his mother in front of a large group of people.

With a gentle wave of his hand, he opened Ms. Willis's hand and walked straight out of the store.

This action shocked Ms. Willis, my son would actually rebel against me? Open my hand?

She caught up with Harden all the way and chattered at Harden, "James, is that how you treat basketball and me when you go back to Los Angeles?" You're going to rebel now! Will push my hand away! ”

Harden said impatiently: "Mom, what about so many people, can you stop treating me as a child?" I'm just relaxing, like a lot of adults. Don't be like this, I'm an adult. ”

"Yes, that's right, that's right, you're an adult, you've got millions of dollars a year, so you don't have to listen to your mother!"

Harden shook his head helplessly, he has listened to his mother since he was a child, but it is really embarrassing to be pulled in public.

On the other side, Min Congda looked at the frightened Paul George and the others, and said, "Let's all go back, Paul, are you worried that your father will come to you?" ”

George nodded and said, "I'm more afraid that my sister will come, so I'll go first." ”

George and the others went to the parking lot through the back door, and they all drove away.

Of course Min Congda can't go, he wants to stay and clean up the mess, how does he know that this group of young people will still be managed by their father and mother?

But think about it, although they enter the professional league, go on the stage, and earn millions of dollars a year, they are actually young people in their early 20s.

At this age, they are still in school in China, and they can't support themselves, so they can't be controlled by their parents.

Min Congda finds Harden and Ms. Willis in the parking lot, and the two get into an argument, Ms. Willis is already crying, and Harden is a little helpless and doesn't know how to comfort his mother.

Min Congda hurriedly stepped forward, handed a tissue to Ms. Willis, and said, "Ms. Willis, I'm really sorry for the trouble for you to make such a trip." It's just a simple relaxation and tomorrow the whole team is going to play away, so I'm bringing them over to relieve the pressure of losing a little bit and that's it. I did the same last season. ”

Ms. Willis wiped away her tears and said, "Last season? I don't think Stephen Curry would do that, he's stuck in the arena with a broken ankle! ”

Min Congda thought to himself, Curry, this kid is really, he can't lie down well after ankle surgery, what kind of training is it?

It can't be that he betrayed me, right? No, I didn't text him.

Min explained: "Stephen has a girlfriend and his relationship is very stable, so of course he won't do that. ”

Ms. Willis looked at Harden, who said, "I don't have a girlfriend!" I didn't want to be in a relationship when I was in school, and I don't want to be in a relationship now. ”

"You didn't fall in love before so you could focus on playing basketball, not to linger in a place like this!" Do you know how hard it was for me to raise you? You weren't in good health, you were so fat and you had asthma until you started playing basketball ......"

As she spoke, Ms. Willis's tears were about to fall again, and Harden said helplessly: "Mom, okay Mom, don't take the past every time I make a little mistake, you just take the previous things as an example, I said that I have grown up." ”

Ms. Willis hurriedly said, "You also know that you made a mistake? ”

"I ......"

Min Congda knew that it was not a way to be entangled like this, so let the mother and son go home first.

"Ms. Willis, let's go back first, it's getting late. Harden has admitted his mistakes, and he won't make them again. ”

"Mr. Smart, do you admit your mistake?"

"Me? Of course I admit it, I was wrong, I won't bring him to this place again, I promise! ”

When this kind of thing happens, where does Min Congda dare to take Harden out to play again.

"Mr. Smart, it's said that you have a girlfriend and a movie star. But you're not bad, you just took them out to play, and you were alone, so I believe in you. Tomorrow if you are free, come to my house as a guest, I want to talk to you. ”

"It's... Tomorrow the team is going to Denver, so ......"

"When is the plane?"

"Uh... Plane at night. ”

"Then let's have lunch at noon."

Faced with Harden's mother's invitation, Min Congda had a hard time refusing, so he had to agree, otherwise he was afraid that Ms. Willis would come to the door.

After agreeing, Harden left with his mother, looking at Harden's desperate eyes when he left, it was estimated that he would be scolded when he went home.

Min Congda breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it is not good to have too many young people in the team, and his parents are still in charge, how can he feel like a high school homeroom teacher?

The next day, Min made it to his appointment and arrived at Harden's home in the southwestern suburbs of Los Angeles.

Like many black NBA stars, Harden comes from a single-parent family and was raised by his mother.

When he was a teenager, his family was poor, and his mother worked several jobs to support him and his sister, and basketball was his way of changing his fate.

Before Harden was born, Ms. Willis had two consecutive miscarriages, so after giving birth to him, his mother called him "lucky".

As for his father, like many low-level black men, he contributed only a small tadpole and then became an addict and was caught.

The absence of his father naturally made his mother's position extremely important, and after entering the NBA and getting his first salary, Harden immediately bought his mother a new house and moved out of the ghetto.

For Min Congda's arrival, Ms. Willis worked all morning and prepared a rather sumptuous lunch for him.

It's embarrassing for Min Congda, I'll pull your son into the water, you still have such a warm hospitality, you really can't bring Harden to fall in the future, you can only think of other tricks.

At the dinner table, Min Congda also met Harden's sister, who is said to have a half-brother who is a football player.

In such a caring family, although there is less fatherly love, Harden is still relatively happy to grow up, so he has a very good personality.

Ms. Willis was also concerned about Min Congda's condition, asking him when he would get married, if he had any children, and when he would come to the United States.

It is no different from the kind of Chinese aunts and aunts who care about their younger generations.

"Mr. Smart, where are your parents? Did they come to the U.S. with you? ”

Asked about his parents, Min Congda was stunned and said, "Well, I don't have parents, I'm only one person." ”

Hearing Min Congda say this, Ms. Willis covered her mouth and exclaimed, and immediately said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Smart, poor boy." Eat more, and if you want to eat anything in the future, come to me and I'll get it for you. What a poor child. ”
