I'm an NBA goalie

Chapter 9 Waiting patiently
Little Nelson and Bob came to the training hall quickly, and saw Wang Dachun and William sitting on the rest chairs, Wang Dachun seemed to be eating bread with his hands.

I can't blame Wang Dachun for eating here, because yesterday's plane arrived in the United States this morning.After getting off the plane, I went directly to the gymnasium. I ate something on the plane in the morning. I haven’t had lunch yet and I am very hungry. I just took a piece of bread from William.

At this time, he was thinking that in the morning, the general manager was not optimistic about him, what would he do if the other party did not accept him!
Although William has been saying that he is great and powerful, he feels that William is comforting himself.

Seeing the general manager, he walked over quickly.He quickly swallowed the bread in his mouth and stood up.

Little Nelson came to Wang Dachun, greeted Wang Dachun happily, and asked some questions that Wang Dachun didn't understand through William. Wang Dachun didn't understand why the general manager suddenly became so enthusiastic?
The two chatted awkwardly for a while, and Nelson told Wang Dachun very solemnly:
"Boy, you got our promise that we're going to take you back to Dallas this year in the NBA draft with our one and only pick, because we didn't have a high pick, so I hope you don't in the meantime Go to the tryouts and invites from other teams, if you go to the tryouts or go to other teams to try out, then we have no way of guaranteeing you!"

Through William's explanation, Wang Dachun understood it like this, "Boy, we are likely to choose you, but during the period before the draft, you should practice quietly and don't go out to run around, or when the time comes. We will I don't choose you."

Wang Dachun thought that the other party said so, nodded quickly and said that he would not go out and wander around, absolutely quietly waiting for the team to choose, he looked like a primary school student listening to the teacher, Little Nelson replied respectfully when he saw him, thinking of China People are indeed a humble and polite nation, and their quality and education should be very high. In the future, they must be well-managed players.

After chatting with Little Nelson, he asked William to help Wang Dachun arrange a place to live. Of course, Wang Dachun had to bear the cost himself.

Before leaving the country, Wang Wanwan asked Wang Dachun to bring all the money from the family with him. After Wang Dachun insisted repeatedly, he took 2 yuan. After all, the family still needs to live, the store is still open, and the younger sister still has living expenses.Later, the brother-in-law secretly gave him 1 yuan.

Before boarding the plane, his brother-in-law helped him exchange 3 RMB into more than 4000 US dollars, so Wang Dachun was very poor. Originally, William planned to arrange him in a nearby hotel. Wang Dachun was afraid that it would be too expensive, so he just wanted to find a rented room The place.

Looking at the time, William felt that it was too late, and it was difficult to find a room today, so he invited Wang Dachun to live in his home, and looked for a place to live the next day.

Wang Dachun shied away for a while, and after William asked repeatedly, thinking of his own financial situation, he was not hypocritical, thanked him, and went to his home with William.

On the way to drive, William introduced some distinctive buildings in the surrounding area, talked about his wife and two daughters, they all spoke some Chinese, and called his wife to tell his wife that there was a guest at home tonight, a Chinese friend, and asked him to prepare Some Chinese food.

William's wife immigrated here with her parents when she was a child. She was also very enthusiastic after seeing Wang Dachun, and joked that William rarely brought friends to live at home. If he could bring friends back home, the relationship between the two must be very good. William also said, Wang Dachun is a very promising guy.It is an honor to invite him to live in our home.

William's two daughters were also seen at the meal.A ten-year-old named Lina, an eight-year-old named Kelly.

After resting in the guest room of William's house for one night, Wang Dachun woke up very early the next day. In fact, he didn't sleep very well. He had just arrived in a foreign country, and the jet lag hadn't reversed yet.

Seeing that he was not in good spirits, William suggested that Wang Dachun could take another day off before looking for a house. Wang Dachun felt that he could not trouble others like this, so he insisted on looking for a house today.

On the way to find a house, he learned about the local rental situation from William. Wang Dachun planned to find a one-bedroom, one bathroom and one kitchen, or a single room with a bathroom like an apartment.

But after consulting several companies in a row.There was nothing suitable in terms of price. William suggested to him to find a place to live near the arena, which is near the arena, so it is more convenient to go to the arena. At the same time, he also told Wang Dachun that the security around the arena is relatively good. It's better, Wang Dachun lives here, it's safer.

But the price here is a bit too high for Wang Dachun to come out. The price of a small one-room apartment is at least 1000 US dollars. According to Wang Dachun's current economic situation, even if he is selected by the Mavericks, he will not get his salary until around October. And now it's only the end of May, at least there are still more than four months.

William felt that Wang Dachun's economy seemed to be relatively limited, and invited Wang Dachun to live in his house temporarily, and then move out when it was suitable.

Wang Dachun still hoped to have his own space. Seeing Wang Dachun's firm attitude, William thought about it.said:
"If you're thinking about economics, there's a place that might fit your requirements."

When Wang Dachun asked where it was, William told him that there is a Chinatown in Dallas, and there are many international students there.The rent is lower there.

"There is also a Chinatown here, I really don't know? Are they all Chinese?

"Most of them are Chinese, but there is a very bad place there, it is too far from our arena, even if you drive, it takes four or 10 minutes!"

"It doesn't matter, there must be the most suitable place for me at present."

Seeing what Wang Dachun said, William also respected his opinion and drove to China Town.

In fact, Chinatown is not a real place to live, it is just a pedestrian street with Chinese characteristics, and most of the places where people live are located at the back of Chinatown.

With William's help, Wang Dachun finally found a place he was quite satisfied with.

This is a slightly older building that used to be a hotel.It was later converted into an apartment.The landlord is of Chinese descent, but he can't speak Chinese very well.

The landlord brought Wang Dachun and William to the apartment, because there are more foreign students living here.So there are not many rooms left.

The landlord told Wang Dachun that he was lucky. Last week, an international student moved out. He seemed to have returned to China, and he left a lot of things behind.

In the room where Wang Dachun and the landlord came, this is a room on the second floor, with an area of ​​about 30 square meters.There is a bathroom and an open kitchenette.There is also a bed in the furniture, a one-piece bookshelf that looks a bit old, with some books scattered on the bookshelf, and a sofa.

Surprisingly, it is facing south, and there is a small balcony. There is also an old-looking mountain bike on the balcony. The landlord said that it was the foreign student who stayed behind. It should be broken. If Wang Dachun doesn’t need it, it’s fine. throw it away.

Wang Dachun felt very satisfied seeing these. This is better than his previous dormitory. He finally agreed with the landlord that the rent price of the house is 500 US dollars per month, including water, electricity and property fees, which can be paid monthly.

After paying the rent, the landlord handed over the key to Wang Dachun, expressing that he can come and live at any time.

William originally planned to let Wang Dachun and himself go back.I will come tomorrow to tidy up before moving, but Wang Dachun said that I can live here today, it is relatively clean and I can live here with a little cleaning, and when I go out.Wang Dachun's luggage was placed in William's car.

After seeing off William, looking at his temporary home, he said that now that he has settled down, he can wait for the start of the draft with peace of mind.
