Chapter 217: Kawhi Leonard (Part 2)

After having a casual dinner outside, Tang Tian went to the training hall to continue his training.

Leonard has something, Dior hasn't trained again since losing weight, and Prokopio is not in Los Angeles, so he is the only one who will practice tonight.

The content of his training has also been adjusted, and the part that originally received the three-point shot has become a breakthrough layup training.

After using the 2 million krypton gold to buy the mask man, his current kryptonite value is only 10, and he can only wait if he wants to exchange for new skills.

However, skills are support for him, and he still has to rely more on his own training.

In addition to catching three-pointers, his breakaway layups are also a key part.

This is also the direction he wants to strengthen next.

The two most important skills in basketball games, one is shooting, and the other is rushing.

He can shoot when he puts you in a step, and you can break through when he is close to you, so that the offensive means are much richer than in 3D.

Procopio had already taught him some techniques for driving to the basket before, and he was now more proficient in it.

It can be seen from the attribute panel of the system that the skills obtained by Krypton are more to increase his upper limit, and the lower limit depends on his own efforts.

While training, the door of the training hall was suddenly pushed open.

Leonard appeared at the door, and although he was more than half an hour later than usual, he still came.

And after pushing the door open, he took out a bouquet of flowers from behind him a little shyly.

A bouquet of lilies.

"Happy Easter."

Leonard, who has always been shy and taciturn, actually gave him a gift back, and it was a lily.

However, Tang Tian didn't think much about it, Olsen had already told him before that the gifts he usually chose to give on Easter were not only easter eggs, rabbits, and chicken dolls, but also lilies.

The lily is a symbol of spring in the United States and the most given flower at Easter, and Leonard has no problem sending it.

"Thank you."

Tang Tian took the lily, and then carefully placed it on the bench on the side.

"How's your business?"

Tang Tian did not forget to ask with concern.

"It's okay, it's my mother, she suddenly fell ill, but she has been sent to the hospital, and it's not a big problem."

Leonard barely managed to squeeze out a smile as he began to take off his coat and prepare for training.

"Didn't you stay with her in the hospital?"

Tang Tian asked with some curiosity, if this mother is sick and hospitalized, if her son is fine, she will accompany the bed, and she will also do her filial piety.

"I ...... I also wanted to, but I was accompanied by my uncle in the hospital, and he asked me to train, and he said that I was the biggest help to the family when I played, and I think he was right. ”

Leonard said and sat down on the bench.

"What about your father?"

Tang Tian turned his head and asked, he found that Leonard had been talking about his uncle, but he had never heard him talk about his father.

He ...... He's dead. ”

Leonard's hands clenched into fists unconsciously as he said this.

"I'm sorry."

Tang Tian didn't know about Leonard's father's death before.

"It's okay, although I miss him a lot, I know he's dead...... I just hated myself for not being there for him that day, if I had been there then none of it would have happened. ”

Leonard lowered his head as he spoke, his tone became choked, and he could feel that he had been holding these words in his heart for a long time.

Tang Tian didn't know what Leonard had gone through, but he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, giving him some comfort.

"You know what? This is the first time I've received an Easter gift other than my father, we are both Christians, and we used to celebrate the holidays together on this day, no matter what happened. ”

Leonard still had his head down, but from his words, he could tell why he was in such a mood swing at this moment.

Easter is just a very ordinary festival for Tang Tian, if it weren't for Olsen's reminder, he might not have known about this holiday, but this festival is very important to Leonard.

"But that day, the guy who came out of nowhere, he walked into my father's car wash, the car wash where I spent my whole childhood, shot my father, killed him and left."

Leonard's body trembled as he said this, and he could feel that he was both scared and angry.

Tang Tian continued to stretch out his hand to comfort him, he had never heard these things mentioned by his teammates, and it was the first time he had heard Leonard say it.

"I don't know why no one has been arrested? Why didn't any witnesses cooperate with the police? Why was my father shot dead in the car dealership where he worked? He was such a kind person, he had never had a grudge against anyone, but the man who didn't know who shot him like that! ”

Leonard slammed on the bench beside him.

Tang Tian got up at this time and leaned Leonard into his arms, and he suddenly felt that this seemingly taciturn person might be suffering from this kind of psychological torture and pain every day.

"I felt like the whole world had stopped, I didn't want to believe it, everything was so unreal."

Leonard was emotionally devastated.

Tang Tian stretched out his hand and patted him on the back, suddenly understanding why Leonard was such a person.

After experiencing such a thing, he felt the indifference of the world and felt helpless, how could he still put a smile on his lips and reveal his emotions in front of others?

Some people's personalities are innate, but some people are carved out by life.

"Your father will be proud of you, you are now on the biggest stage in the world, you have succeeded, and there is a chance to be even more successful."

Tang Tian tried to comfort.

"Yes, I know."

Leonard also stood up at this time, his eyes were red, but his gaze became determined.

"I'm going to race, and my dad is still watching me from the sky; I'm going to train, and my dad is still watching me from the sky; I'm going to win the championship, and my dad is still watching me from heaven; I know he's been watching me, he's taught me to play, and he loves watching me play. ”

Watching Leonard's mood change, Tang Tian knew that all the comfort was superfluous.

Leonard has his own motivation and his own goals, and the emotional breakdown in front of him is only because of receiving the Easter gift that Tang Tian gave him.

He actually has a strong heart.

"So what else? Train, let me see how you're doing, and let your father see it. ”

Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

Leonard nodded, and after warming up, he threw himself into training on the field.

The voices in the gym were louder and clearer than ever, and perhaps for Leonard, it was a way for him to communicate with his father on this special day.
