119. Life is impermanent

The four children had a deep prejudice against Chamberlain and were all looking at him angrily. Bowen persuaded him so much that they were unwilling to be teammates with Chamberlain. This made the boys on the opposite side jealous: Damn God, do you want to be so cruel? We tried our best to be teammates with SUPER-Z but there was no chance. These little kids were in a blessing and didn't know how to be blessed.

Chamberlain served a child. The basketball atmosphere in the United States is really good. Many slum children regard basketball as their only way to stand out, just like many Chinese children regard college entrance examinations as their only way to stand out. In this way, China has given birth to countless academic masters, and there are countless young basketball experts on the streets of the United States.

The child was only twelve or thirteen years old, with thin and short arms, and his legs were slender, but they were also very slender. The basketball was much bigger than his head. However, the ball was like a well-behaved elf in his hand. He looked like a sports car, and he ran to the frontcourt with the ball "tumbling" and ran to the frontcourt.

A child turned around and hooked his finger at Chamberlain provocatively, shouting: "Hi, big man, run faster, don't drag us down!"

Chamberlain couldn't help laughing. Even if Kobe and James were on the same team as him, he would not dare to say such things. Unexpectedly, he would be despised by several children on the streets now.

The boys on the opposite side were obviously Chamberlain's idols. In front of their idols, they were full of desire to show off and strengthened their defense. In this way, the teenagers on Chamberlain's side had a hard time. They were not as good as those older children who were two or three years older than them. Before, they didn't defend but just played, but now they are serious, so naturally there is no chance.

Seeing that his teammates were cut off by the opponent twice in a row, Chamberlain shook his head with a wry smile. They attacked again. Once again, a child was disrupted by the boy's tightening force. He no longer watched or stood in the inside to support him. This kind of situation was useless and the children could not pass the ball to his hands.

Chamberlain turned around, shook Bowen and rushed forward and stuck the boy. The child who was pressed was happy and ran over Chamberlain in a hurry with the ball. The boy was blocked by Chamberlain.

After completing the tactical goal, Chamberlain was about to leave, but the boy who was stuck reached out to hold him, looked at him excitedly and nervously, and stuttered at the scene: "Hurry, hurry up, hurry up and take photos, Harry, hurry up and give me a close-up!"

Chamberlain turned his head and saw two black children taking photos in his direction with their simple mobile phones. He immediately understood the plan of the boy beside him, so he immediately changed his attitude and stuck the boy, and even made the move to tear the boy's jersey, which was extremely realistic.

A cheer suddenly rang under the court. This is the true meaning of charity activities. If Chamberlain kept dunking and blocking here, the fans would not buy it. What is the point of bullying these little people by NBA stars? But Chamberlain did not do this, but played with them and gave them what they wanted. This is what really satisfies them.

What do fans want? Do you want to watch NBA stars dunk? No, there are things on the computer that they really want to save face and can be used to brag and show off with friends in the future.

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

Even when he faces Bowen, Chamberlain will not really play hard. He just relies on his height to make two long shots, and his shooting percentage is pretty good. Of course, this is also related to why Bowen is just symbolic to defend.

Children and teenagers around the stadium kept going up and down, and some young people participated in the competition behind them. At this time, the rhythm of the competition increased, and the intensity became incomparable to the previous one. Although it could not force Chamberlain to show his true level, it also forced him to start entering the inside line.

After grabbing the rebound, Chamberlain dribbled the ball and rushed to the frontcourt. A young man with tattoos on his arm wanted to steal. Chamberlain twisted his knees and quickly turned around like a top. He broke through with the youth. Then, a young man from his side stood under the basket. Seeing this, he did not hesitate and immediately threw the ball into the ring.

"Bang!" The young man jumped up and dunked when he received the ball. Chamberlain punched hard. When the young man ran back, he took the initiative to jump up and gave the young man a chest-to-bumping greeting.

Bowen smiled and looked at the scene, and he said to Chamberlain: "I didn't expect you to come here to participate in the event. Man, in the notification from David Stern, I was the only one here. I thought the rest of the league had gone home for Christmas."

The game lasted more than an hour, and Chamberlain and Bowen left the court to rest. He put on his coat, shrugged and smiled, "I'm also surprised. This is California. How did you come here from San Antonio? As far as I know, the snow disaster in Texas seems to be more serious!"

Bowen's wife Yadri walked up and put on her down jacket and smiled, "Bruce came here in advance. He saw the weather forecast that there was heavy snow. He was worried that the airport and highway were closed, so he set out from home two days in advance. We spent Christmas Eve here even here."

After hearing this, Chamberlain suddenly felt awe-inspiring. Bowen's impression in his heart was completely changed. Perhaps Bowen was an absolute villain on the court, and his defense was indeed dirty, but it was out of dedication. Off the court, he was a real philanthropist, not a philanthropist who donated much money, but was really working hard to change the survival of vulnerable groups.

In fact, when he was away from the basketball court, Bowen was a polite person. The NBA official requires each player to participate in 12 charity activities a year, and Bowen participated in much more than this stipulated number. He participated in more than 50 charity activities every year, making him the best NBA active players!

"He was always busy. I think he shouldn't play basketball, but run for president. He seemed to worry more than the president." Yadri stood beside Chamberlain and complained, "When we got married, I told him that in addition to the competition, he was allowed to go out at most four times a week. The truth is that he probably went out four times a week, and later it affected me, and I followed him to those places."

As he said this, Yadeli looked at Bao Wen with a gentle and warm look as always. Li Qun looked at the two of them enviously and whispered in Mandarin: "Is this the same thing that is mutual support?"

After the game, the gift was distributed. Bowen picked up a young fan who was about three or four years old and asked Chamberlain: "Man, where are the gifts you brought? Why haven't you displayed them yet?"

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

Bowen smiled suddenly and said, "Are you kidding? That was brought by me. These things were delivered yesterday. Are you sure this is yours?"

Chamberlain looked at Winnie, who made a very anxious gesture, took out her cell phone and made a phone call. As the phone went on, her face became increasingly ugly, and Chamberlain suddenly felt deep in his heart, he knew that something might be wrong.

Sure enough, after Winnie called, she walked to him and whispered: "Damn it, our truck broke down on the road, and because of heavy snow, there was no repair shop willing to go out for repairs, so she kept lying on the road."

Bowen, who was walking in front, saw Chamberlain suddenly stopping, turned around and greeted: "My man, let's distribute Christmas gifts together, why are you doing there?"

Chamberlain was embarrassed. He spread his hands helplessly, trying to say something, but found that he could not say anything. The only way he could think of was to use money to solve the problem, that is, each company would pay a portion of US dollars.

But this is obviously not the original intention of the charity event. An electric oven is the same price as a hundred dollars, but can it be the same value? 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 do well in the Spurs, which has always been known for his complicated tactics. He saw the problem from Chamberlain's expression and came up to ask what was going on.

After Chamberlain told the question, Bowen burst into laughter and waved his hand and said, "What's the problem? Don't I have two trucks of gifts here? Come on, man, I'll distribute my gift first. When your car is repaired and comes here, we'll distribute it again. How about it?"

Today, Bowen's performance really changed Chamberlain's impression of him. He said embarrassedly: "How can this work?"

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

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

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

Bowen smiled and waved his hand, saying, "What's on the field is on the field, it'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 no longer dare to touch your teammates. And I think those people in the Warriors must be very at ease as your teammates. They have a great comrade on the field, which is worthy of their backs."

Chamberlain remembered the conflict between him and Davis now, and the scene when Bowen hurt Davis after he injured his black foot.

The reality is sometimes so cruel and helpless. Who would have thought that Chamberlain was even willing to attack Bowen for Davis, and he would take revenge on him at all costs even if he was infatuated with the bad guy on the court. However, now the two of them are so evil that one of them must leave the Warriors!

But as Bowen said, the things on the field should not be confused with life, it is work. He shook his head and threw away these messy ideas, and walked shoulder to shoulder with Bowen shoulder toward the smiling Shirley, Li Qun and others.

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

Bowen shook his head and said, "No, I never fight anyone on the court, because there are so many kids watching me off the court. How can I let them see such ugly things happening in the sacred NBA field?"

Chamberlain was stunned. He wanted to say something. Bao Wen said first: "You must think my approach is contradictory. You don't want to have bad effects on your child. You have made so many small moves, right?"
