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

Chapter 277 Poor Child
Harden never dreamed that he would see his mother in a nightclub.

He who was still lingering and indulging in the glamorous dance was immediately terrified.

"Mom... Mom? Why are you here?"

Ms. Willis grabbed Harden's ear and said angrily, "You said you didn't play well tonight, so you're going to the arena for extra practice. That's where you practiced?"

As a mother, Ms. Willis attended Harden's game tonight.

Harden did not perform well and told his mother that he would practice more after the game, so Ms. Willis went home first.

Unexpectedly, the mother knew her son best, so she soon felt that something was wrong, and went back to the Staples Center to check and found that Harden did not stay in the arena to practice.

Instead, Ricky Davis was practicing three-pointers in the arena, and Milicic and Bonner were practicing mid-range shots.

She even saw Curry, who had just undergone surgery, with a fixed ankle strap, standing still and practicing shooting to maintain his touch.

After asking around, Milicic said that Harden might have gone to Cat Nightclub with Mr. Smart.

Because just now Min Congda sent a message to Milicic, asking him if he would like to go to Cat for a drink.

Milicic wanted to go home to accompany his daughter, but he politely refused. After coming to Los Angeles, he also planned to quit drinking.

After getting the news, Ms. Willis immediately rushed to Cat, blocked Min Congda in the private room, and now captured her son Harden.

Facing his mother's questioning, Harden couldn't quibble, but it was really embarrassing to be pulled by his mother's ears in front of a large group of people.

He waved lightly, opened Ms. Willis's hand, and walked straight out of the store.

Ms. Willis was shocked by this action. How could my son resist me?Open my hand?

She chased Harden all the way, babbling at Harden, "James, is this how you treat basketball when you return to Los Angeles, and treat me? You will resist now! You will push my hand away!"

Harden said impatiently: "Mom, there are so many people, can you stop treating me like a child? I just relax like many adults. Don't be like this, I am an adult."

"Yes, that's right, that's right, you're an adult, you've got millions of dollars a year, so you don't have to listen to your mother!"

Harden shook his head helplessly. He has listened to his mother since he was a child, but it is really embarrassing to have his ears pulled in public.

On the other side, Min Congda looked at the terrified Paul George and the others, and said, "Everyone go back, Paul, are you worried that your father will come looking for you?"

George nodded and said, "I'm more afraid of my sister coming over, so I'll go first."

George and others went to the parking lot through the back door, and they all drove away in a hurry.

Of course Min Congda couldn't leave, he wanted to stay and clean up the mess, how did he know that these young people would still be under the control of their parents?
But think about it, even though they have entered the professional league, stepped onto the stage, and earned millions of dollars a year, they are actually young people in their early 20s.

At this age in China, they are still studying in school, and they are not able to support themselves, so they should not be under the control of their parents.

Min Congda found Harden and Ms. Willis in the parking lot. The two fell into a quarrel. Ms. Willis was already crying, and Harden was at a loss and didn't know how to comfort his mother.

Min Congda hurried forward, handed a tissue to Ms. Willis, and said, "Ms. Willis, I'm so sorry to trouble you for making such a trip. This is just a simple relaxation. The whole team is going to play an away game tomorrow. So I brought them over to relieve the pressure of losing a little bit, that's all. I did the same thing last season."

Ms. Willis wiped away her tears and said: "Last season? I don't think Stephen Curry would do this. He broke his ankle and continued to train in the arena!"

Min Congda thought to himself, Curry is a real kid, he had surgery on his ankle and he can't lie down properly, what training is he doing?
Could it be that he betrayed me?No, I didn't text him.

Min Congda explained: "Stephen has a girlfriend, and his relationship is very stable, so of course he wouldn't do that."

Ms. Willis looked at Harden, and Harden said: "I don't have a girlfriend! I didn't want to be in a relationship when I was in school, and I don't want to be in a relationship now."

Ms. Willis said: "You used to stop dating because you could concentrate on playing basketball, not because you could linger in this kind of place! Do you know how difficult it is for me to raise you? Your health is not good, You were so fat and you had asthma, until you started playing basketball..."

While talking, Ms. Willis's tears were about to fall again, Harden said helplessly: "Mom, it's okay, Mom, don't just use the past as an example every time I make a small mistake, I said I've grown up."

Ms. Willis hurriedly said, "You also know that you made a mistake?"

"I……"

Min Congda knew that this entanglement was not an option, so let the mother and son go home first.

"Ms. Willis, let's go back first, it's getting late. Harden has admitted his mistake, and he won't make another mistake."

"Mr. Smart, do you admit your mistake?"

"Me? Of course I admit it, I was wrong, I won't bring him to this kind of place again, I promise!"

This kind of thing happened, how dare Min Congda bring Harden out to play again.

"Mr. Smart, it is said that you have a girlfriend and a movie star. But you are not bad, you just take them out to play, but you stay alone, so I believe you. Are you free tomorrow, come to my house as a guest , I want to talk to you."

"This...the team is going to Denver tomorrow, so..."

"When is the plane?"

"Uh... the plane at night."

"Then let's have lunch together at noon."

Facing Harden's mother's invitation, it was difficult for Min Congda to refuse, so he had no choice but to agree, otherwise he was afraid that Ms. Willis would come to him.

After agreeing, Harden left with his mother. Looking at Harden's desperate eyes when he left, he probably would be scolded when he returned home.

Min Congda heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that too many young people in the team is not good, his parents are still in charge, why do he feel like a high school head teacher?

The next day, Min Congda went to the appointment on time and came to Harden's residence in the southwestern suburbs of Los Angeles.

Like many black NBA stars, Harden comes from a single-parent family and was brought up by his mother.

When he was a teenager, his family was poor, and his mother worked several jobs to support him and his sister. Basketball was his way of changing his destiny.

Before Harden was born, Ms Willis had two consecutive miscarriages, so after giving birth to him, his mother called him "lucky".

As for his father, like many low-level black men, he only contributed a small tadpole, and then became a drug addict and was caught.

The absence of his father naturally made his mother's status extremely important. After entering the NBA and getting his first salary, Harden immediately bought a new house for his mother and moved out of the slums.

For Min Congda's arrival, Ms. Willis had been busy all morning and prepared quite a sumptuous lunch for him.

It made Min Congda very embarrassed. I dragged your son into the water, and you still entertained him so warmly. In the future, you really can't bring Harden down. You can only think of other tricks.

At the dinner table, Min Congda also met Harden's sister. It is said that he also has a half-brother who is a rugby player.

In such a caring family, Harden grew up happily despite the lack of fatherly love, so he has a very good personality.

Ms. Willis was also very concerned about Min Congda's condition, and asked him when he got married, whether he had children, and when he came to the United States.

It is no different from the kind of Chinese aunts and aunts who care about the younger generation.

"Mr. Smart, where are your parents? Did they come to America with you?"

When asked about his parents, Min Congda was taken aback, and said, "Uh, I don't have parents, I only have one person."

Hearing what Min Congda said, Ms. Willis covered her mouth and exclaimed, and immediately said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Smart, poor child. Eat more. If you want to eat something in the future, come to me and I will give it to you. Made it. Poor kid."
