Chapter 11 Tolerance
Do it again, do you still have the heart to let everything happen again?Shi Lei couldn't help asking himself.The father's voice sounded again.

"Go to the United States? OK, go, this is a visa."

Father patted the tote bag on the bed.

"dad!"

Shi Lei's eyes widened for a moment, which also made Shi Lei's mother open her mouth in surprise, but in the end she still didn't speak.

"How old are you? It's normal to have your own ideas. But this is the last time. When you come back, you will go to work for me at Albert, and you will spend as much as you earn. Your mother and I will not give you another penny."

Palely, his father uttered cruel words, "This is the last time", Shi Lei has heard it countless times since he was a child, every time Shi Lei got into trouble, his father would say this after wiping his ass, but it was just saying That's all.

"Okay, Dad, don't worry, if it doesn't work, I'll go to work at Albert when I come back."

Shi Lei, who was ecstatic, assured his father in a panic.I'm afraid that if I'm too slow, my father will take back the visa.

After his father said this, he walked out of Shi Lei's room, and Shi Lei's mother hurriedly followed. From outside the door, Shi Lei heard the conversation clearly: "You are crazy if you go to the United States. What should I do?"

"I'll go with him and take a good leave."

The voices of his parents gradually lost their clarity. At this time, Shi Lei clenched his fists tightly: "I must stay with the Celtics, definitely!"

Only this time, it's not just for my own ideals, but also includes a strong desire to win over my parents.

Ever since he was a child, Shi Lei has almost never done anything to make his parents proud. This time, Shi Lei decided to work hard to make his parents proud of him.

Boston is the capital and largest city of Massachusetts, the largest city in New England, and the 21st largest city in the United States.The city is located on the Atlantic coast of the northeastern United States. Founded in 1630, it is one of the oldest and most culturally valuable cities in the United States.

The site of some important events during the American Revolution, Boston was once an important shipping port and manufacturing center.Today, the city is a center for higher education and healthcare, its economy is based on scientific research, finance and technology - especially bioengineering, and it is considered a global city or cosmopolitan city.

Of course, for the fans, these are irrelevant, people pay attention to this city, just because there is a great team here - the Celtics!

The Boston Celtics, one of the Eastern Conference teams in the NBA. Joined the NBA in 1946 and was one of the 11 teams at the beginning of the NBA.The Boston Celtics won eight consecutive championships from 1959 to 1966, which is unprecedented.Although with the retirement of the legendary star Larry Bird, this team with a glorious history quickly became an underdog in the Eastern Conference.

After getting off the plane from Logan International Airport, the dusty Shi Lei and his son successfully found the Celtic staff who greeted them. Of course, Elena who had talked with Shi Lei on the phone did not come today.

From the moment he got in the car, Shi Lei's father fell into a state of alert, and entered the local alarm number he found on the Internet on his mobile phone, ready to call anytime, anywhere.

But Shi Lei didn't know anything about all of this, he was looking through the car window with great interest in the city where he was going to play for.

Before coming, Shi Lei deliberately tidied up his image carefully.He got rid of the men's mid-length hair that he had grown for many years, and wore a newly bought Nike sportswear, which made him look extra energetic, although he was still not handsome.

Their first stop in Boston was not TD Garden, the home stadium of the Celtics that Shi Lei most wanted to go to, but a hotel not far from the stadium.They have one day to adjust for jet lag.

Very punctual, the person in charge of welcoming Shi Lei came to the hotel at the appointed time the next day, and sent Shi Lei, who had been waiting for a long time, to the home court of the Celtics. Those who accompanied him, of course, also strongly requested to go with him. Father.But after arriving at the arena, Shi Lei's father was politely left in the rest area. He didn't feel like a deceitful father, so he didn't ask to follow him in at this time.

"Welcome to TD Garden, lad."

A tall old man in good spirits hugged Shi Lei and spoke to him in English.

"Thank you, it's an honor to be here."

Shi Lei hugged the old man very unaccustomed, and said in a low voice.

"It's a great place, and to be one of them, you have to do a little test."

After a simple meeting ceremony, the old man got down to business.

Physical examination, a link that every player must undergo before entering a new team.

Armspan, standing height, bench press, simple endurance test, etc.

"Well, very good, but the fat content is too high, you must go through professional exercise and change your eating habits!"

The result came out soon, the old man glanced at it, and then said to Shi Lei.

"I'll pay attention."

"I hope! Folgers, give him to Jim."

After the old man said this, he took Shi Lei's body data and left, probably to enter the file or hand it over to the management for evaluation.

"Okay. Come with me, dear Shi."

In this way, Shi Lei finally came to the basketball court.At this time, the NBA is still in the offseason, and most of the main players are still on vacation. Among the players participating in the confrontation in the arena, Shi Lei only recognized Rajon Rondo, who was still unknown and worked hard to get a position. .

Shi Lei also didn't meet the famous Celtics coach Glenn Rivers, also known as Doug Rivers. Doug is actually not his name, but his nickname "Doctor".Of course, Shi Lei found all these from the Internet before coming to the Celtics.

In charge of the team's offseason training is Glenn Rivers' assistant coach Jim Bravo, who is also Glenn Rivers' uncle.Not surprisingly, the one who led the team to participate in the summer league, I am afraid it will be this assistant coach.

"Mr. Jim, Dr. Quirian asked me to deliver him to you."

"Hello, Mr. Coach."

"Hello, lad, Bryce, take him to the test."

Brevo, who was paying attention to the players' confrontation, obviously had no way to talk to Shi Lei, just glanced at him, and handed him over to another person.

The NBA's free throw line is a hurdle for many international players, because it is a little wider than the international one, and because of the emotional relationship, Shi Lei's shooting is quite bad, and his shooting percentage is less than half.

After finishing, even that person named Brith spread his hands wordlessly.

It wasn't a good start, but it doesn't matter, Shi Lei still stayed, at this moment, he still has a certain value.

On this day, the Celtics' official website couldn't wait to release such a message - "Shi Lei, a talented player from China, will represent the Celtics in the summer league in Las Vegas!"
