After the training match, Chamberlain and the others dispersed, the fans gathered around, the team's photographer took pictures, and the players posed and signed autographs.

Chamberlain's side naturally has the most fans, he sat on the steps, biting a pen cap in his mouth to sign autographs for the fans, and from time to time he posed in a more cool pose, and then cooperated with the fans to take pictures.

After a while, a chubby white child squeezed around him, and Chamberlain smiled and tried to sign for him, but the child glared at him angrily and shouted, "Z, why are you doing this!" I'm so disappointed in you, my dad is crying, we're all disappointed in you! ”

Chamberlain was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”

The kid was even more angry, and pointed at him angrily: "Teacher Jim said that if you make a mistake, you have to admit your mistake, so you are still a good person, and you don't even admit your mistake?" Why don't you play for our team? You've beaten our team! ”

Chamberlain understood that this little guy was a little angry young man, and he was angry that he led the team to kill the dream team.

After returning to the United States, Chamberlain has been deliberately ignoring this matter, because many radical fans have indeed made a fuss about it.

Some media and fans mean that Chamberlain was born in the United States, raised in the United States, and is still playing in the United States, and that he should represent the American team, rather than change to Chinese nationality and then deal with the American team.

In fact, there are many talented Americans who don't pay much attention to this kind of nationality, but now the problem is that Chamberlain is too a bunker and actually won the dream team, which makes some fans with big American ideas linger.

Just like when Qian Xuesen returned to China, both the military and the scientific and technological circles blocked him layer by layer, and U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Kimble said the famous sentence: "No matter where Qian Xuesen goes, he is worth the strength of five divisions, and I would rather kill him in the United States than let him leave." ”

One more thing to say here, it is estimated that Qian Xuesen is the Chinese scientist with the highest evaluation by Americans, and many people think that Qian Xuesen's value is only five divisions, which is nothing.

In fact, this is a misunderstanding, most Chinese understand the concept of "five divisions" by the standards of our army, but when the Korean War broke out - in 1951, Qian Xuesen announced his return to China in 1950 - the total strength of the US Army was about 59. 10,000 people, which is a total of 10 combat divisions.

In other words, Kimble believed that Qian Xuesen was worthy of half of the army's armed forces in the United States at that time.

On the Korean battlefield in those years, there were two well-known divisions in the US army, one was the First Cavalry Division, which is said to be the unit formed by the first President of the United States, Washington, when the country was founded, and the other was the First Marine Division, which was the main force of the United States to project invading forces to the outside world.

An infantry division of the Americans at that time was equipped with 140 tanks and 330 70-mm guns, and it could also mobilize air force assistance at any time.

The Kuomintang Army's famous "five main forces" that have completely annihilated all US weapons and equipment, two of which are the New First Army and the New Sixth Army, the main forces of our Fourth Field Army, the 38th Army and the 39th Army, have bitten the 1st Cavalry Division, and the Kuomintang Army's famous "five main forces" of which have annihilated all US weapons and equipment, two of which are the 74th Division, the 5th Army, the 20th Army, the 26th Army, and the 27th Army of the Third Field Army, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

However, in the Battle of Changjin Lake, these units surrounded the 1st Marine Division, but none of them gnawed down, and at most they eliminated only the battalion-level establishment.

Because the firepower of an infantry regiment of the US army is stronger than that of an army of our volunteers.

It can be seen from this that Americans spoke highly of Mr. Qian Xuesen at the beginning!

The reason why I want to talk about this is because now there is a saying in the mainstream sports media in the United States, that is, 'Chamberlain is alone, in the top half of the NBA in FIBA'!

The more the white man spoke, the more angry he became, and he rushed up and waved his fist at Chamberlain, and the little fist danced and whined, and fell on Chamberlain like raindrops.

With Chamberlain's domineering figure, he could naturally let him fly with a wave of his hand, but Chamberlain obviously couldn't do this, so he had to cover his head and swing his body to dodge, crying and laughing for a while, and he couldn't see this kid in general.

The benefits of the star are shown at this moment, before Chamberlain had just finished signing a thin white child who was about a teenager, and the child was next to him at this time, when Chamberlain was beaten, the thin child's eyes suddenly widened, and he rushed up and pushed the white man with a scream.

The little angry young man still kept his senses, and said angrily to the thin child: "You go to the side, I want to fight Z!" ”

The thin child had a more fierce personality, he glared at Xiao Yanqing viciously, panted and rushed up again, and smashed a punch on Xiao Yanqing's chubby belly.

Xiao Yanqing was also enraged, grabbed him and wanted to fall him, but the thin child didn't look at his body lightly, but he had a lot of fighting experience, and he raised his head and hit Xiao Yanqing's chin directly with his little bald head.

They are all teenagers, and this is a heavy blow to the little angry youth, and suddenly his mouth is pursed, and he doesn't fight anymore, and he cries.

The thin kid didn't want to let go, so he pointed at the little angry young man and shouted, "If you want to hit Z, then knock me down first!" ”

Chamberlain hurriedly took the thin child into his arms, while the little angry young man was dragged back by his parents and cried in his mother's arms.

The little angry father's face was full of apologies, and he said to Chamberlain: "I'm really sorry, Z, we didn't expect this to happen, it seems that there is a problem with our usual words and deeds." ”

Chamberlain, who was not yet as knowledgeable as a child, smiled and waved his hand: "Don't accuse him, his patriotic fervor is worth learning from many athletes." ”

was originally a casual sentence, but the reporter next to him found the topic after listening to it, and suddenly someone asked: "Z, do you mean that many NBA stars should learn from this child's patriotism?" ”

"What do you think about the NBA's mainstays refusing to play for the national team?"

Chamberlain's natural refusal to speak out on such a topic would have sparked a war of words, and what he needed now was to keep a low profile.

It was just a little farce, and after the little angry boy was taken away, the interview was still going on, and Chamberlain left the thin white child with him, and finally at the end of the interview, he said to the child's parents: "I have to invite him to dinner because he is my bodyguard." ”

The child happily stood beside Chamberlain, and after listening to his words, he raised his head and said, "I don't want to be your bodyguard, I want to be your teammate." ”

After hearing this, Chamberlain laughed, he touched the child's little bald head, and smiled happily: "Then you have to grow up quickly, when you reach the age of eighteen, you can play in the NBA, and then I can be your teammate." ”

After he said this, the little bald head became depressed, and said unhappily: "Do you have to be eighteen years old?" I'm 10 years old now, and that's eight years, but the doctor said I had a very serious disease and I wouldn't live for eight years. ”

As soon as the little bald head said this, his mother burst into tears, stepped forward and hugged him and said, "No, Larry, your body is fine, the doctor is joking with your father." ”

His father stood aside with an expression of disapproval on his face.

Chamberlain was taken aback and didn't know what was going on, but he didn't say anything at the time, just took the three of them to the player's internal restaurant to prepare for dinner.

Dining with the players is also part of the Open Tournament, not just for the bald family, but also for other die-hard fans who have been selected in advance.

While eating, Chamberlain asked, "Man, what's wrong with your child?" ”

The man smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Larry is different from other children, he was diagnosed with pediatric leukemia last year...... Damn, he's not even ten years old, damn it, I don't understand how God could punish a child who has never made a mistake like this! ”

When the man said a few words, his eyes were a little red, and although his voice was hoarse, his grief and indignation were overflowing.

Chamberlain's psychology sank, he didn't know much about pediatric leukemia, but the lethality of the word leukemia was too terrifying, there is no doubt that this disease also belongs to a kind of leukemia, and as long as it is leukemia, there is no easy treatment.

After finishing the meal, Chamberlain immediately went online to find out what was going on with pediatric leukemia, and the more he investigated, the more frightened he became.

Leukemia is a malignant proliferative disease of the hematopoietic system, and it is one of the diseases that threatens the life and health of children.

This disease is characterized by an acute onset, and most children will have fever of different stages in the early stage of the disease, and the fever type is mostly irregular fever, and no obvious foci of infection can be found.

At the same time as fever, children may have skin bleeding spots, some children may have anemia, some children may have bone and joint pain, and doctors will find liver and spleen enlargement and lymphadenopathy during physical examination.

The malignant course of this disease is very high, the disease progresses rapidly, and it is not very easy to treat, because the cause of the disease is still unknown.

Chamberlain searched and understood why the child was bald and hairless, because the treatment of childhood leukemia was mainly chemotherapy, and a small number of high-risk patients also needed radiotherapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

The principle of chemotherapy is multi-drug combination and multi-course treatment, and the intensity and regimen of chemotherapy are determined according to the clinical risk grouping, for children, the course of chemotherapy may be relatively low, but the child's resistance is relatively low, which can easily cause hair loss.

Fortunately, children are very sensitive to chemotherapy treatment, and cancer cells are easily killed, so it is not inevitable to die if you suffer from this disease.

Chamberlain patted Larry's father on the shoulder and said, "If you have financial difficulties, please be sure to tell me, my foundation can help you a lot." ”

After speaking, he touched Larry's head again and asked, "Boy, don't think about it in normal times, there is nothing wrong with your body at all." Well, in this way, do you have any wishes, boy? Uncle Z can fulfill some of your wishes. ”

Larry's eyes widened and he said expectantly, "I just want to be your teammate, Z, I want to play with you and play together in the NBA!" ”

Now Chamberlain is a little embarrassed, other things are easy to say, playing is also easy to do, he can play with this kid at any time, but it is basically impossible to play in the NBA.

Larry's mother gave the child a reproachful look and said, "Larry, don't give your Uncle Z a problem, aren't you glad he was able to eat with you?" ”

Larry smiled and nodded, "Happy, but Mom, I really want to play with Z." ”

"Larry!" Larry's father frowned and accentuated.

Chamberlain raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make a call first." ”

Old Nelson, Richard, and others were also eating in the dining room, and Chamberlain walked over briskly and told him about it.

Richard groaned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Chamberlain said: "I communicated with the child's father, he is the most severe kind of leukemia, and there is little hope of cure, this time they came from Phoenix to watch our open training match, because the child will be in the ICU since November. ”

He didn't say what he thought directly, but everyone understood what he meant.

Nelson Sr. was embarrassed, he said: "Now that the summer league is over, only the preseason is possible, if we talk to the league and allow it, we can let this kid play in the preseason." ”

Richard clapped his head and said, "So do it, Z, you go and contact Adam Shaw, I'm going to contact David Stern, we're a socially responsible team, so there are some things that have to be done." ”

West, who was next to him, said with interest: "Good, it looks like we're going to have a new teammate again." ”
