Chapter 8 Bruce Bowen
"It's really a dilapidated place. It seems that no one has lived there for a long time. Why can't someone clean it up a little?"
In a dilapidated apartment building not far from Chicago United Training Camp, Lin Han complained unhappily as he looked at his dusty bed.
In order to enter this training camp, he gave the training camp supervisor 10,000 US dollars. In the end, he was assigned to Bowen's group and was completely defeated by Bowen. Now, he still lives in such a simple apartment. From all aspects, this is a typical example of only paying money and not doing things. Therefore, Lin Han now scolded the supervisor who took his money in his heart.
But what Lin Han didn't know was that in the eyes of that supervisor, Bowen was already one of the worst in this training camp in terms of physical fitness. If Lin Han was assigned to the group of Penny Hardaway, it would be truly a money-free and not working. As for being assigned to this apartment that seemed to have not lived in for a long time, there was no way. The players who were invited here over the years were basically some talented players. These talented players basically had their own agents at this time, and even super rookies like Hardaway and Weber already had their own private teams.
Will players like them lack money to come here to live in a simple apartment provided by the official? In the past, the official also provided some pretty good apartments, but the end result was that no one lived there. This is not only because the players disliked the bad apartments provided by the official, but also because they needed some of their own nightlife and did not want to be kept in charge like college or high school. So even if some rookies really don’t have much money, they don’t want to live in the dormitory provided by the official. So, in recent years, they simply made a little worse and could reduce the funds. No one lived there anyway.
Therefore, it is not the official who has not been cleaned up for a long time. The official does not think that Lin Han will really live in the apartment they allocated. To put it bluntly, this apartment is just a decoration. In short, Lin Han is the first person to move in in the past three years.
"It's pretty good here, at least close to the training camp, and the surroundings are quiet, there are no nightclub bars."
Of course, if Lin Han is the first to live in the apartment assigned to them in the past three years, then Bruce Bowen is the second place, but at present, Bowen’s mentality is much better than Lin Han.
Moreover, it was different from Lin Han who fell directly on his bed and didn't want to move after cleaning his bed. After Bao Wen cleaned up his bed, he cleaned up the entire house inside and out. He seemed to have no objection to Lin Han's lazy behavior, and he had a smile on his face.
Although Lin Han was really lazy at this time, it was not that he was unwilling to do these dirty and tiring work, but that he was really too tired today. He rushed to Chicago from Utah overnight. After arriving in Chicago, he found that the training camp had actually opened. He finally passed the back door. When he entered the training camp, he was asked to participate in the physical side, and then he was also mentally hit in the tiring physical test.
So, he just wanted to lie down and rest. Lin Han really didn't expect that Bao Wen would be so considerate and had already started to do it before Lin Han could rest. This moved Lin Han very much. This was really a lucky encounter with a friend when he went out.
"The water has been brought in, wash your feet and go to bed."
After cleaning up the apartment dormitory, Bowen walked in with a bucket of water. It seemed that he was in a good mood at this time.
"Thank you, wow, my feet are really smelly."
Lin Han took off his shoes with a little embarrassed, and immediately a foul smell came, which made Bao Wen on the opposite side laugh.
"Lin, I can see that you have not been in contact with basketball for a long time, and you have not received professional basketball training. Don't ask me why I know, because ordinary players will not wear sneakers like you on the court."
Looking at this Asian boy who is much younger than him, Bao Wen didn't know why he felt a sense of intimacy. Perhaps because his relationship with his family was getting worse and worse, he unconsciously wanted to take care of this young man, or perhaps because this Asian boy is a marginal figure in the basketball world like him, which is also a kind of fate.
"Haha, really count it, I only had one year of contact with basketball. A year ago, I didn't know how to dribble, and I didn't even know how many teams there are in NBA."
Lin Han touched the back of his head with a little embarrassed and said, "It was his translation for Ma Jian to be the beginning of his contact with basketball. He really received more formal basketball training. It should be a month ago. After he learned Kobe's back turn and jump shot, he practiced this skill almost day and night under the guidance of Aili. While practicing this skill, Aili also taught him some professional knowledge and skills in basketball. However, although Aili taught him a lot of professional things, he did not teach him what kind of professional equipment to use.
As for the Utah Valley Community College before, although he was on the school team and even played every game, the genius asked him to reach what level of basketball level. He also had to live a life of no enterprising spirit at that time. As long as he was a good translator for Ma Jian, it doesn't matter. In many cases, he would even wear leather shoes to play. After all, Utah Valley Community College is not a regular school or team, and most of the games he played are also indifferent, so there is no high demand for these.
This time he came here, he was wearing basketball shoes, which improved the level of basketball compared to wearing leather shoes. However, in the eyes of experts like Bao Wen, he could see through Lin Han at a glance.
"Then you are really bold. I think you should be the only guy in the history of the NBA draft who dares to participate in the draft after only being exposed to basketball for a year. Are you very confident in yourself?"
Faced with Lin Han who was extremely honest and honest, Bruce Bowen also said with some emotion that after playing basketball for a year, players who can't even get basketball equipment by themselves dare to challenge the highest stage of basketball. Whether Lin Han is really ignorant or has absolute confidence in himself, he feels incredible, especially when Lin Han's physical performance is far worse than his almost worst, which makes him extremely puzzled.
Especially when Bruce Bowen had almost no confidence in whether he could be chosen, every time he saw Lin Han's faint confidence and fearlessness on his face, he would be very touched.
"Of course I have confidence, I will definitely be able to enter the NBA!"
After finishing this sentence excitedly, Lin Han looked at Bao Wen, who was stunned by his extremely confident words, and continued.
"I know I'm very weak now, and I know that no one in the entire training camp is worse than me, but I still believe that I can eventually become an NBA player because I don't have any room to fail. Whether it's for life, for family, or for dreams, I will never allow me to fail. And I also want to challenge Jordan on the NBA stage, who is my idol and my goal."
For the sake of life, for his American dream, and for his family, Lin Han knew that this was his only chance to change all of this fate. Even in order to realize his dream of challenging Jordan to become Jordan on the NBA venue, he could not fail here, because Alice said that he only had one chance.
Therefore, this is not his confidence in himself, but his absolute requirement for himself.
Since getting the basketball legend system, whether it is to change his height and wingspan, whether it is to learn from Kobe's turn and fall back and jump shot, whether it is to change his destiny, saying goodbye to his family and coming to Chicago alone, all of this made Lin Han very depressed.
Whether it was facing Aili who gave him a chance to change his destiny or his most beloved elder sister, he did not shout out his voice like today. When Lin Han finally shouted out his voice to Bowen, he found that he seemed to be much more relaxed. When he was lying in bed again, he did not suffer from insomnia because he came to the new environment and fell asleep immediately.
However, compared with Lin Han who was snoring loudly, Bruce Bowen suffered from insomnia.
"For the dream, for this goal of Jordan?"
Bruce Bowen hasn't thought about what his basketball dream is for a long time. Since he had a quarrel with his family to continue his basketball career, he has no idea why he has played basketball. His family doesn't want him to play basketball because it has no future. As for dreams, it has long been just a luxury. Since he entered college four years ago, he knew that he could not fulfill his basketball dream.
Bowen is like Lin Han. In fact, most young players in the United States have the same dream, that is, stand in front of Jordan and defeat Jordan!
Similarly, for most people, they don’t even have the qualifications to stand in front of Jordan, and like most people, Bowen began to doubt whether he was qualified to stand in front of Jordan when he entered college.
Finally, until now, he has no idea why he should play basketball. Perhaps continuing his basketball career has become his instinct for life, because if he doesn't play basketball now, he will have no money, and without money, there will be no capital to live.
"Maybe he will really succeed, and I will continue to fail?"
Seeing Lin Han, who had fallen asleep, now more than ten streets worse than himself, Bao Wen was completely confused.
