Chapter 210 Three people, someone must be green(2/2)

After caring for some families, they then went to a training hall, where the team had gathered some disabled children who were interested in basketball.

In the training hall, they met a legendary figure:

Kevin Lauer.

This name is very common, but it has special meaning because he is the first disabled player in history to enter the NCAA Division I league.

This is an incredible achievement, because according to statistics, the probability of entering the NCAA first-level league from an American high school is only 1% every year.

Many short players entering the NCAA can be called inspirational, but Laue is no longer inspirational enough to describe it.

Really, let me give you a hand.

Therefore, during the whole caring activity, the three of them were more like audiences, listening to Laue share his experiences with the disabled children.

When he was still a fetus, the umbilical cord was wrapped around his left arm and neck.

Right after he was born, the lower half of his left arm had to be amputated due to blood blockage and necrosis.

However, if the umbilical cord had only been wrapped around his neck, he would have probably been stillborn.

So in a sense, it was his left arm that saved his life.

"It's a pretty good deal, isn't it?"

Laue's words also caused laughter from the audience.

Lin Ying intuitively felt an emotion called optimism from his words.

"I fell in love with basketball, it made me know the meaning of life."

Disability will inevitably make people feel inferior, but fortunately God opened a window for him, and his height is very good.

When he was still a freshman in high school, his height had reached 2.03 meters.

This may be the charm of sports, which can give some desperate people the meaning of life.

However, this young man who is only 20 years old has experienced a very bumpy basketball career.

He was expelled from the school team when he was a sophomore in high school because, as an inside man, it was difficult for him to fight against those big men with one arm.

"I can't give up because I know that if I give up myself, no one can save me."

Lauer was much stronger than he thought. He returned to the school team through his own efforts and became the team captain.

Many people were moved by his story and became his fans. He also appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 2007 and became the "Most Touching Player".

He also thought he had attracted the attention of many Ivy League schools.

But like some authors who like to use swords, he encountered another bad news in his senior year of high school.

He suffered a leg fracture at the beginning of his senior year and almost didn't play football throughout his senior year.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for him to enter the NCAA Division I league.

But he still did not give up. He passed the excellent trial training and joined the Military Academy to study as a preparatory student. Then with his outstanding performance, he received a scholarship invitation from Manhattan University, and finally successfully joined the NCAA Division I!

"Never believe in fate, and never accept everything passively. Only by working hard can you get what you want."

Laue's last words drew applause and cheers from the audience.

Lin Ying also looked at this one-armed boy.

In fact, many people will say what is the meaning of sports, and this may be the best explanation.

Because there is no threshold, it may be the life-saving straw when you are most desperate.

Of course, from a scientific perspective, exercise can cause the brain to secrete endorphins, making you feel happy and positive.

Later, Lin Ying and the others worked with Laue to teach these disabled children how to play basketball.

When it was almost over, Lin Ying suggested exchanging signed jerseys with Laue.

Of course Laue would not refuse. Lin Ying is now a rising star in the NBA.

Of course, Lin Ying made a request to Laue when exchanging jerseys.

Just write down the last sentence he said.

Because in a sense, this coincides with what he is doing now.

Different from being passive and giving in during the two years in Denver, this time Lin Ying has become much more proactive in pursuing his dreams.

He is also working hard to get what he wants most.

After the event, Nash and Barbosa asked Lin Ying if they wanted to watch football together in the evening.

After going through the experience of Anthony inviting him to play ball, he almost blurted out:

"Is this ball serious?"

This immediately caused Nash and Barbossa to look at each other in panic.

"It's serious, it must be serious!"

"Football, what do you think it is?"

Seeing the two people's reactions, Lin Ying couldn't help but cough.

I didn't say it was inappropriate or nervous.

Lin Ying had not had much contact with football before.

It is strange to say that football and basketball have a large audience in China, but there are not many people who like both sports at the same time.

Even if a certain person is in the majority in the circle you are in, the minority will be discriminated against.

Although Lin Ying didn't quite understand, he didn't refuse.

After all, they are all balls!

Of course, the most important thing is that he feels this is an opportunity to strengthen relationships with his teammates.

The relationship with Stoudemire is progressing well, and Nash needs to follow up.

After all, in order to compete for the championship, the relationship between these two people must be good.

When watching a football match, naturally you have to prepare something to eat.

People here in the Americas like to eat pretty much the same thing when watching football, usually French fries, fried chicken, burgers, etc., and then drink some cold beer with it.

Lin Yingze bought some melon seeds and drinks.

Before the game started, Barbosa started talking to Lin Ying about melon seeds.

Lin Ying also learned that the people who love eating melon seeds while watching football are not from China, but from Spain.

By the way, Barbosa also learned about some of the things people in other countries like to eat when watching football.

Brazilians are really passionate and they really love football.

They watched the game at Nash's house.

So Nash would take care of his two twin daughters from time to time.

I have seen these two daughters Lin Ying on TV before, and Nash also brought them to the press conference before.

They are all very cute.

In fact, it is very simple for football stars to bring their children to a press conference, because this is work. Sometimes the wife and children are waiting at the scene, and the children want their father to take care of them because they have not been in contact with them for a long time. They can’t leave work behind, so they take them with them.

Moreover, the press conference is already boring, but it is more fun to do it with children.

But seeing Nash coming and going, Lin Ying didn't notice his wife.

Why aren't you here this late at night?

Lin Ying couldn't help but asked curiously.

"He went to get his hair done. He will probably come back later."

"Do……"

Lin Ying coughed for a while.

He suddenly remembered a rumor in history, which seemed to say that Nash gave birth to a black child? The child seemed to be Barbossa's?

Barbossa is right next to him, which is a bit too much.

Unless Barbossa's shadow clone is almost the same.

"Why don't you give me a call and show your concern?"

Lin Ying couldn't help but remind him.

"Reminder? No, no, we will give each other private space, just like watching a football game, and she usually won't ask."

Nash waved his hand, not forgetting to share his experience with Lin Ying,
Chapter completed!
