I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 230 I Treat You As A Brother, You Treat Me As A Father? (Second update, there will be three more in the evening)

Min Congda's growth experience after school is completely opposite to that of LeBron James.

He has never been a genius, and the system even evaluates him as [lower than average intelligence]...

To put it bluntly, he is an ordinary person, ordinary from head to toe, ordinary background, ordinary appearance, ordinary grades, an ordinary school, and an ordinary job.

After going through an ordinary time travel (no going to another world, no rebirth), I encountered an ordinary system (no money that can’t be spent, no super powers), and I was given an ordinary task (he didn’t ask him to save the world, practice immortality, etc.) ), continue to get an ordinary salary (compared to the average income of the NBA circle), and do not do well, still ordinary (bankruptcy is nowhere in sight).

To say that it is not ordinary, one is Min Congda's unearthed basketball talent, which is indeed powerful, but also has flaws, and he is not sure of his potential.

And this is exactly what he needs most for his bad performance, but the result has not yet.

Another is the Clippers team. Its history cannot be described in ordinary terms, but it is too bad.

For an ordinary person like Min Congda, self-confidence is a luxury, and most of the time he is not confident.

Most of his confidence now comes from "I can't do this well, but I can screw it up."

Whenever the system changes the task to "lead the Clippers to the championship", Min Congda will be GG, and he dare not accept it.

How confident Min Congda is now means how unconfident he was in the past.

People who are not confident are often accompanied by fear, and they keep running away in order to stay away from fear.

At a certain moment, Min Congda suddenly understood James, and he saw something in James that was hard for others to see.

"LeBron, you want to come to the Clippers, do you want to escape something, what are you afraid of?" Min Congda asked James.

James shook his head and said, "No, I never thought of running away, and I'm not afraid. As I said, I just want to work in another place. It's okay, isn't it? Cleveland is not suitable for me, so I will go to one that suits me. The place."

Min Congda said: "Really? Since that's the case, there are so many people on Twitter asking you if you will stay in Cleveland, why don't you answer them?"

"I said, I want to announce on ESPN's program "Decision", that the broadcast income of the program will be donated to charitable organizations. Also, you haven't answered me yet, why did you refuse me to go to the Clippers."

"No, I'm answering you. I'm using questions to make you understand yourself better. When you recognize yourself, that's when you know the answer."

There was a disdainful smile on James' face, but he was a little reluctant, and he couldn't help biting his fingernails.

Min Congda noticed this detail, poured another cup of tea for James, and continued to ask: "You said you are not afraid, are you not afraid that you will not be able to win the championship in your life, are you not afraid that you will not be able to fulfill your commercial promise and value, no Afraid of not living up to what the fans expect of you, and not being afraid of never being what you want to be?"

James opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer, unable to deny, but not sure, he chose to remain silent.

"No, you are afraid, you are afraid of all this. In fact, everyone has fear, but some people choose to avoid it, and some people choose to face it. It is not a shameful act to escape. Artest joined the Lakers last year. When it comes to the championship, why can't you?"

"You are right. The NBA is just a job. Ordinary people can change jobs, go to a place that suits them, and find a better partner. What's wrong with that? Why double standards? Changing jobs and blaming you? You don’t understand, you don’t see it as an escape.”

"Even if it's an escape, so what? Is it LeBron?"

LeBron took a sip of tea and stammered, "I...I...I don't think it's an escape, I...don't think so."

"Yeah, you don't think it's an escape, because you know that once you admit that you're running from these fears, you can't escape the one truth that's most unacceptable to you -- and that's you, LeBron James, the Chosen Son, the basketball king you speak of is just an ordinary person who changes his solution when encountering difficulties."

"You are not a strong man who can control your own destiny, you are just a puppet under the string of commercial capital. You are not a basketball fighter in armor, but a frail, fatherless man wrapped in the emperor's new clothes, suffering and suffering in the slums A poor black boy who grew up. Your mother exhausted every drop of sweat for your survival. Gunshots, drugs, and crimes are always with you. Those dead bodies on the streets show your future possibilities. In countless desperate nights Moan for your own pathetic fate, until you meet basketball."

"Basketball gave you a whole new world, gave you armor and weapons to arm yourself, and gave you the capital to show off your teeth and claws. You are really talented, and you have firmly grasped him. Childhood painful experience and insecurity The feeling makes you swear that you will use basketball to get ahead and firmly control your own destiny!"

"You feel like you're almost there, and in Cleveland you're crowned king, and everybody's singing your praises, stepping up to the top of the pile, leaving only the crown. But basketball never lies, time and time again. One failure, you want to doubt yourself but you don't allow it! You don't allow yourself who has been armed for so many years to disappear because of one escape!"

"You can't face your true self, a little boy who is weak, needs security, needs care. That is your deepest fear. Wake up LeBron, you are good, but not that good, your You lack talent in shooting. You work hard and optimize your shot selection, but you will never reach the height of Kobe and Jordan. You are strong, and your technique is stable enough but lacks refinement. It’s not that you don’t want to but you don’t have that ability and talent, so You need a system that fits you perfectly. You do some things very well, some things you do very badly, and some things you do very badly. You, and your team, and the people who tout it, you trying to hide something."

"But again, basketball doesn't lie, basketball is a sport, a business, a war, but in the end it's still a craft."

"LeBron, you are not good at learning, you can't face your true self, that's why I don't want you to come to the Clippers. This time, do you understand?"

LeBron James stared blankly at Min Congda, a Chinese man who looked very small in front of him, but at this moment he felt infinitely tall.

James has never felt this way with anyone else, because he grew up without a father, and he didn't even know who his father was.

He has never felt the stalwart of his father, nor has he experienced the sense of security of being protected.

So he has a strong desire to control, he must control everything in order to eliminate the fear of inner anxiety.

Even with tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of assets, LeBron still doesn't want to stop controlling.

He admired the people he built, and he made himself look like he was destined.

Before each game, he would throw chalk on the technical table, which is a well-designed action.

Make him look like a king who showers his people with bounty and rain.

But James knew in the deepest part of his heart that he was not a king, he was just a helpless child without a father.

Sitting at the table, James remained silent, and Smart's words cut open his heart like a scalpel.

Presented the helpless child in front of Min Congda.

After a long time, James said, "Smart, after listening to your words, I think of my father whom I have never met."

Min Congda was drinking tea, proud of his Oscar-winning actor-level lines, he almost spit out when he heard this!

"Damn, take advantage of me? I treat you as a brother, and you treat me as a father?"
