Chapter 42: Don't Forget Your Original Mind
After reaching an agreement with Dayao, Radar sent Yao Ming away and reported the good news to Fang Lu.
"Dada, it's great. Everything is moving in a good direction and will get better and better." Fang Lu was really happy for Radar in her heart. From high school to college and from BA, Fang Lu knew Radar's efforts best.
Now that we have achieved success one after another, we can look forward to the future.
"Miss you, Lu!" Radar said softly.
"Me too!" Fang Lu, who was on the other side of the video, felt soft in her heart and her tears had already begun to roll.
They talked about their lovesickness and chatted on video for more than an hour. Radar talked about this opponent in the NBA, O'Neal, Tracy McGrady, James' athletic ability, and Howard's explosive dunk. Fang Lu was talking.
Things at school and Lei Da’s parents, now the relationship between Fang Lu and Lei’s mother is getting better and better.
Radar also had a video call with Wu Hao. Wu Hao is now one of the top players in the CBA, known as the Guangfeng One-On-One King, and his skills have been honed for a long time.
In the past games, Wu Hao has continuously singled out Ding Yanyuhang, Big Devil Zhou Qi, Guo Ailun and others. Just like last year's radar, Wu Hao is unstoppable and another super star is rising.
"Brother Hu, stop being a jerk and come to the NBA. I'm waiting for you."
Wu Hao smiled and said: "No, where you are, you are so sharp that I'm afraid you will be blinded."
Yes, wherever there has always been radar, Wu Hao's light has always been covered up and cannot be seen. What Wu Hao said was a joke, and the radar would not take it seriously. Wu Hao had the same idea as himself at the time, from campus
Basketball suddenly jumps to the NBA. This cross-server is too big. It will take a long time to adapt to this, and it may cause a blow to yourself.
The CBA is also a professional league. It does not have as tight a schedule as the NBA, nor does it have as strong a physical confrontation as the NBA, so it is a transitional arena.
Radar is really looking forward to fighting side by side with Wu Hao. Wu Hao needs to rise to prominence in the professional league like him and become the best person. Radar can be said to pave the way for Mouse. At the same time, Radar also needs Wu Hao's help.
Radar is confident that if he has Wu Hao by his side and the Spurs' current lineup, he can definitely compete with the Lakers. At least he won't have to shoulder the team's offense and defense alone.
Early the next morning, Radar looked at his phone and found that he had made headlines in major media.
"Rookie Lei, scored 52+11+4+6 to rival the legend!"
"Beyond Klay Thompson, this year's rookies are too scary!"
"Super shooter, 10 three-pointers in a single quarter broke the record!"
Various media are rushing to report on the radar, and the content is similar. This rookie who fought with the five-star Lakers until the last moment and scored a game-high 51 points is worthy of their efforts to publicize it.
Who else dares to underestimate the Chinese players, and who dares to say that the Chinese defenders are not good? Men cannot say no, maybe they are not good enough, but they work hard enough.
Of course, behind these propaganda, there are still people who are pointing the finger at the Spurs, but it is not aimed at them. What they say can be regarded as the truth.
The media calls Radar a lone hero, a lone hero like James of the Cavaliers 12 years ago.
The media believes that the Spurs were able to fight the five-star Lakers until the final moment because of radar. Without radar, the game would have been wasted in the second quarter.
But this time it's not Radar who is at the forefront of the storm, but the Spurs' two players, two former All-Star players, who also scored 50+ and 40+ in a single game, but now they are not even as good as a rookie.
The words of the media are not pleasant. They bluntly said that DeRozan is not suitable for the Spurs. Popovich is a good coach, but he cannot train the players who are not suitable for him. Aldridge is also a good player, but his playing style is not suitable.
If you stay here, your career will be like this.
When Radar saw the news, his heart actually skipped a beat, and he was worried. He was really afraid that the Spurs would have internal strife because of this, that some people would be dissatisfied, that some people would be unhappy, and that the situation would get worse the more they fight.
On November 11, Radar invited Manu and Duncan to have dinner at home and expressed his concerns.
"Lei, did you know that Bobo, except for Rogge, hardly gives the media a good look? Why?" Manu asked.
"I don't know. I don't think I can figure out Bobo's thoughts yet." Radar answered truthfully.
"Because Bobo doesn't pay attention to the media at all. They are all people who adapt to the situation. If DeRozan performs well, they will say something else." Duncan said.
Manu said: "So, you don't have to worry about what other people will think. DeRozan and LaMarcus, they have been in the league for so many years. They have not experienced any kind of public opinion. They will adjust themselves."
"Lei, they are different from you. Every day off, they may travel, go see a movie, or participate in an exciting sport to relax. But you are still training, except shooting.
Still shooting."
Radar smiled and said: "Manu, do you think I am a very boring person?"
Manu quickly smiled and waved his hand and replied: "No no no, I only think you are a hard-working player."
"Okay, actually I think I'm quite boring, but I know the gap between myself and those players, so I have to work hard. Once I'm established in the league, it's time for my girlfriend to come. By then, I think, my interest
There will be more.”
As Manu and Daidai said, on the plane flying to Boston on the 12th, DeRozan and Aldrie were no different from usual. DeRozan was wearing headphones and quietly waiting for the plane to land with his eyes closed.
"Lei, why are you so restless? What happened?" Ade, who was sitting side by side with Radar, asked.
"No, it's okay. I'm very happy to see you guys as usual."
Ade said: "In the NBA, no one can have smooth sailing. The same is true in life, right?"
Radar responded with a smile. Who knew that Aldridge, who usually didn't talk much, would also talk about the philosophy of life with others.
"Life always has some ups and downs to make it exciting, and the same goes for the NBA. If you have been at the bottom, you may choose to leave. If you have been on the altar, one day you will fall. Is this a result you can bear?
.So, now we are occasionally praised or demoted by the media, but it doesn’t really matter, we live how we should live, and when we should play, we play.”
"By the way, we should be lucky that Bobo is a person who will not be swayed by the media's remarks. He will only stick to his own arrangements."
Ah De turned to look at Radar, who nodded in agreement.
Ade's words are very reasonable, and they also alert the radar. A life that is too smooth, and a career that is too smooth may not necessarily be a good thing. The NBA is a vanity fair, and the country of rice also has countless temptations. We must never forget it at any time.
Why do I play basketball? I can’t let my passion for pursuing basketball become cold.
