Winnie was invited by Chamberlain, and Chamberlain was still very uneasy about disturbing the Christmas reunion day of the Getrib family, but when Winnie received a call from him to organize Christmas charity activities together, she did not hesitate, sternly refused the old man's arrangement of several parties for her, and rushed to the scene in high spirits.

In fact, this invitation was a two-way street, Chamberlain invited Winnie, and the big boss Gottlieb invited him to invite him to his house for Christmas.

Chamberlain, Winnie, Shirley and a languid Lee get into the car of Sudmons, who had only returned this morning, and their anti-war groups had gathered last night for Christmas Eve, supposedly with a big operation planned.

"What do you have at home, and how do you spend Christmas?" Chamberlain asked Winnie with great interest, "If we go to your house tonight, will we really not disturb?" ”

Winnie looked at him woodenly, and stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Chamberlain was very sensitive, and when he found out that something was wrong with Winnie, he said: "If you have something to say, you can say it directly, we are all a family in the car now, and there is nothing to avoid." ”

A hint of inexplicable change flashed on Winnie's gorgeous face, she looked out the window, and then turned back and asked, "Are you sure you want to attend my family's PARTY?" ”

Chamberlain spread his hands and smiled: "Yes, more people are more lively, if there are only a few people at Christmas, it will be boring." ”

Winnie looked at Chamberlain and said slowly: "The PARTY organized by my father has always been very interesting, but the purpose is probably a little different from your expectations. ”

Chamberlain's expectant expression disappeared suddenly, if there was no Li Qun, he could still look forward to it, it seems good to be a pair with Winnie, a white rich beauty, and he can fight for a few decades. However, now that he has Li Qun, it is better to restrain the intestines of the flowers.

Chamberlain's Christmas gift to Shirley was to organize a charity community event in her name, Winnie contacted the NBA headquarters, and part of the funds for the charity event were provided by the NBA, and Chamberlain only needed to participate.

The community event is not held in San Francisco, but in Fresno, about a hundred kilometers from Oakland, in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, a beautiful tourist city that is as unmissable as Los Angeles if visitors to California.

Fresno is the distribution center of cotton, grapes, vegetables, wheat and other materials in the San Joaquin Valley, and is an important agricultural city in the United States, one of the main agricultural processing industries and food production areas. The agricultural product processing industry here is very developed, especially the production of raisins and winemaking, which is famous all over the world, and is known as the "raisin capital of the world". Oil can be extracted nearby, it is the entrance and exit of the Yosemite National Park, and the tourism industry is developed.

However, the city's overall economy is still underdeveloped in California, with 18 percent of the city's population living in slums, far exceeding the California average of 6 percent, and has always been a key area for major sports leagues to hold charity events.

Chamberlain and the others drove the Dodge Ram and the Hyundai SUV all the way, and they hit the road at seven o'clock and arrived at a slum community in Fresno at a little after nine.

Because it's Christmas, this dilapidated slum community has also been decorated, the potholed roads have been simply filled with coal ash and sand, and the stinky ditches beside the road are covered by snow, which is generally good.

Still, the neighborhood's dilapidated houses reveal the essence of the place, with walls covered in exaggerated graffiti that is violent and pornographic, mostly depicting genitals and nudity between men and women. There are almost no garbage bins in the community, garbage is everywhere, and some wild dogs and wild cats are gouging inside, and occasionally snatching something, and there will be a bloody battle between them.

Li Qun raised the camera in his hand from time to time, and recorded this scene with a heavy face, and these photos will be posted on domestic websites in the future, so that those in Chinese mainland who think that the American moon is rounder than the domestic cents have a good look, and see these hellish existences of the Great United States.

Seeing this messy slum, Shirley grabbed Chamberlain's hand and muttered, "Thank you, Mr. Z, if it weren't for you......"

She didn't say anything later, but Li Qun and Winnie were silent, they were both beautiful women, and they naturally knew what would happen to beautiful women staying in this kind of place, Shirley was destined to have no future in the slums where sin happened anytime and anywhere.

This charity event is Chamberlain's Christmas gift to Shirley, which he has already discussed with Winnie, which is one of the reasons why he insists on returning from Miami for Christmas. Chamberlain believes that girls should participate in more such charity activities, which can shape a person's temperament and help improve Shirley's severe inferiority complex.

Two dual-drive trucks with NBA logos parked at the entrance of the neighborhood, and some black teenagers walked around the trucks, which were as thin as dry wood compared to the black stars of the NBA, as if a gust of wind could blow them down. However, despite their poor physique, these teenagers are very agile in their movements, staring at two large trucks with sinister eyes, like jackals staring at their prey.

The drivers of the big trucks were all stout black men, and they obviously knew the motives of these teenagers, and they pushed open the door and raised the large wrench in their hands and shouted a few times, and the teenagers saw that they could not be found, and left in a daze.

These two large trucks are loaded with flour, oil, salt and other daily necessities, as well as hundreds of bread and barbecue machines, microwave ovens, egg fritters, etc., and of course, the most important ones are clothes, shoes and socks, bicycles, and basketballs for children, which Winnie bought online, carefully packaged into Christmas gifts, and used to distribute to the residents here.

NBA officials have advertised in advance that they will hold charity events and distribute Christmas gifts here, and there are already people who have set up basketball courts inside the community, and they are crowded with people, all waiting in the cold wind to distribute gifts, of course, it would be better if you could meet the NBA stars.

The NBA's Christmas event is not very grand, because the stars are also people, and they also have Christmas, they just make Christmas promos in advance, and the real highlight is the All-Star Game, when all the players who are selected to the All-Star team participate in a lot of charity events.

Chamberlain's tall stature is also rare in the United States, but the people on the basketball court did not notice him, and these people gathered around the court, and from time to time let out enthusiastic cheers, which made Chamberlain stunned.

"I haven't come yet, the event has already started?" Chamberlain asked in surprise, and he walked to the stadium with Shirley and the others, only to be spotted by the fans who occasionally turned around until they got closer.

Seeing Chamberlain, the fans were a little incredulous, and several people rubbed their eyes and burst out with a scream: "Oh my God, it's SUPER-Z!" SUPER-Z is also here, and he is also here! ”

The shouts of these fans triggered a domino effect, more people turned around, and the cheers grew louder and louder, and Chamberlain quickly became the focus of the residents' attention, and hundreds of people rushed up to surround him and Shirley in the middle.

Chamberlain raised his hand to high-five the fans, but his eyes looked at the court and he was surprised to see a very unexpected person here, Bowen, Spurs' small forward, Bruce Bowen.

No wonder the residents here didn't notice Chamberlain's presence before, there was a game going on on the court, Bowen took four thin black children who were only about twelve or thirteen years old against five fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, the two sides played back and forth, even if it was cold and windy, they were still wearing only a thin jersey, and the sweat coming out of their bodies exuded steaming heat, as if they were taking a hot bath.

Bowen, like those teenagers, is also steaming, and it can be seen that he is still playing very seriously in this game, although he rarely shoots, but he is very active in grabbing rebounds and passing.

Seeing Chamberlain appear, Bowen, who grabbed the rebound, stopped, looked at Chamberlain with a smile, didn't mind the latter's arrival stealing his limelight, and waved his hand to him.

Because Bowen injured Davis in the past and out of revenge Chamberlain elbowed Bowen and fractured the bridge of the latter's nose, the relationship between the two sides has been tense, at least in Chamberlain's heart, the relationship between them is more tense, but now looking at Bowen's performance, it seems that the problem is not as serious as he imagined.

Originally, the fans had a signature pen and signature paper in their hands, they were waiting for Bowen, but now that Chamberlain has appeared, it will naturally be better, and they will directly hand over the pen and paper, and Chamberlain will begin to 'swish' to sign. The cameras and mobile phones in the hands of the fans kept flashing, and Chamberlain looked up from time to time to show a smiling face to cooperate with the fans' photos.

After all, it's just a community, and there aren't many fans, so Chamberlain took off his coat after signing and asked Bowen: "Let's have a game together?" ”

Bowen looked at the four children beside him and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's change the group, and I'll take the eldest child, otherwise we won't be able to stop a big guy like you." ”

Chamberlain was a little guilty in his heart, but as soon as Bowen opened his mouth with such humor, he laughed and felt a lot more comfortable.

One of the kids next to Bowen refused loudly, shouting, "No, we're not on the same team as SUPER-Z, he's a bad guy who injured Daddy Bruce!" ”

The other kids followed suit, saying, "That's it, Super-Z is a badass, we're with Daddy Bruce." ”

Chamberlain was stunned, he thought he should be more popular than Bowen, the latter started out on defense and has always been considered dirty, and now he is older, he is about to retire, the fans have no feelings for him, even if there are fans who like him, it should be older fans who like him for nostalgic reasons, but why do these children like him so much?

A middle-aged black woman with a gentle temperament walked over, she hugged Chamberlain, and said, "Don't worry, Z, these four are our children, they prefer their Bruce daddy, so the words are not very good, for the sake of them children, don't be angry with them." ”

After saying that, she introduced herself again: "My name is Yardley, Yardley Bowen, and I'm Bruce's wife. I didn't expect you to come here today to participate in the event, and we originally received the news that it was only Bruce himself. ”
