Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 51 51. Giving to the Community

"Billy, you can't be so rude." Sister Katie was slightly annoyed, and scolded the kid who looked like a high school student.

Billy gave Katie a blank look, ignored it, and continued to provoke Westbrook, "Russell, do you dare to come?"

The Billy in front of him is a black child, his height is almost 180, and his body is thin, but he can still see some muscles, which are obviously exercised.

Faced with such a challenge, Richard felt that it was too easy. If it was him, he would definitely not take it.

Westbrook stepped forward, "Billy, you still can't beat me in another five years."

That being said, put on a defensive stance that accepts the challenge and hit the court in casual clothes.

Westbrook is going to play?But his feet were still injured, and he couldn't exercise vigorously. Richard hurriedly said, "Russell, your feet..."

Westbrook raised his hand to stop Richard from speaking, then hooked his fingers at Billy, "Come on, Billy!"

"Hey!" Billy was furious immediately, and started to attack after dribbling.

There were no surprises in the end. Billy's offense was either intercepted or blocked. He barely made a shot before Westbrook approached, but it could only end in a strike.

Westbrook didn't play offense at all.

After hitting ten balls and not scoring a single one, Billy sat down on the ground and buried his head in frustration.

Westbrook stepped forward and patted Billy's head, "Play hard and try to get into college."

Billy shook his head, shook Westbrook's hand aside, and ignored him.

Westbrook smiled and waved to Richard again.

Sister Katie also walked up slowly and walked into the room first.

At this time, Richard realized that Westbrook was slightly tilted when walking. It seemed that some jumping actions just now caused the ankle injury.

"Russell." Richard didn't know what to say at this time, and he didn't understand why Westbrook had to do this.

"Li Cha, look at how beautiful this orphanage is. There is food and drink, children can be taken care of and study, they can have a roof to shelter from the wind and rain, and they can earn money and reputation through their own efforts." Westbrook seemed to know what Richard was going to say, and spoke first.

"But not every place can have such a place. The social status of black people is very low. Many people can only rely on stealing, abducting and robbing to get by when they grow up, or go to the underworld, sell illegal things, and then die. The better ones will spend many years in prison."

"Then leave a group of children in vain."

"These are things we can't change, but these children can change themselves. They have a relatively better environment, can study or play, improve their status through their own efforts, and don't leave more orphans."

"What a wonderful thing. Isn't it?" When Westbrook said these words, he was not sympathetic, but firm, just like his determination to pursue the victory of the game.

Richard was silent. He admired Westbrook's thinking and behavior, making contributions to the community and even society, and he can persist for a long time.

And there are not a few people who have ideas like Westbrook, and there are many who are willing to contribute to the community. I just hope that it will really get better and better.

Thinking of this, the two have followed in the footsteps of Sister Kitty and entered the room.

On the ground was a torn gift box, and the contents of the gift box had already become everyone's belly.

Seeing everyone's faces were blackened, Westbrook smiled again.

Sister Katie was also very helpless, but she still had to put on a show. With her hands on her hips, she yelled with a straight face: "You little bastards, who allowed you to open it? Did everyone get the chocolate? Huh?"

The children dispersed in a rush, leaving only the three stunned.

With a laugh, Richard and Westbrook came to Sister Kitty's office together.

Westbrook gave Sister Katie a check. Richard glanced at it and it seemed that it was five figures. It can do a lot for an orphanage with tens of thousands of dollars.

You must know that in most communities, the church is doing welfare work. Of course, their money is earned by various rich people donating and carrying out some activities. That’s why nuns, monks and other clergy hold positions. In some poor areas, even schools are run and managed by the church.

Sister Kitty accepted the check and carefully recorded it.

Richard thought for a while, and took out some cash from his pocket and gave it to the nun.

Although buying training points is very important, Richard is still willing to pay for charity and welfare.

What's more, the accuracy of [-]:[-] is already more than [-] yuan, which is not far from the thousand or eight hundred.

This surprised Sister Katie and Westbrook.

After all, there are too few people who walk around with so much cash with them.

What surprised Westbrook was that Richard was still very generous, even though he usually picks and searches.

Walking out of the nun's office, the two came to the children's classroom again. Christmas was coming soon, and the place was peaceful.

There are colorful lights on the walls, ribbons in the room, and a tall Christmas tree in the corner, covered with decorations such as snowflakes, snowballs, and candy canes.

The festive atmosphere is very strong.

There are also many children who are busy adding decorations and wrapping gifts. Of course, they are just empty gift boxes, which are placed under the tree as decorations. The real gifts can only be purchased after receiving sponsorship from Westbrook.

Westbrook immediately threw himself into the activities of the children. The tall man in the crowd sat cross-legged on the ground, mingled with the children, laughing and playing on the ground.

It was the first time Richard saw such a scene, and he couldn't get into it, so he could only stand aside and smile wryly.

Sister Kitty also stood aside, "Mr. Westbrook is really a good man. Look at him, how popular he is. He is like a totem in the eyes and hearts of these children."

Richard was thoughtful.

In the afternoon, Westbrook and Richard stayed in the orphanage. The two also helped the orphanage with painting the walls, repairing tables and chairs, and of course playing with the children. Richard also gradually became acquainted with these lively and energetic children, and spent a full day.

"Russell, thank you!" Richard said to Westbrook on the car back.

Richard has no qualifications to say thank you on behalf of others. Those words should be said by the children and church staff. What Richard is grateful for is that Westbrook brought him into the community and into the society, so that he is no longer dissociated from society, and let himself truly experience life, not just basketball.

Ever since he came here with the "Talent Simulator", Richard has always seemed to be completing one thing, or playing it as a real-life game. He has no life at all, except for competitions and training every day. Today, Richard feels that he is still a living person, and this city has fetters like himself.

Suddenly, Richard became very interested in whether he could be a guest at Westbrook's house on Christmas Eve. Of course, he was embarrassed to say this, because his Chinese etiquette was still deeply rooted in his bones.

Westbrook didn't answer, and the two remained silent with a smile, and returned to their respective homes.

The next day, there was another group training game, and Westbrook did not come to the arena. Richard guessed that Westbrook probably went to another community.

On December 12, the Thunder played against the Phoenix Suns at home, and Westbrook returned.

In a hearty battle, Westbrook got a career-high 22 assists, and he had more assists than the entire Suns.

Westbrook, who didn't break through with all his strength, sorted out the offense clearly, and he also frequently scored points in the middle and long distances, as if he had changed.

Only the teammates know that Westbrook will not be able to exert his full strength when playing with an injury, so he will change his style of play.

Westbrook played with injuries and inspired everyone. The team leaders can do this, and the players also took orders from top to bottom, performed their duties, and played an efficient battle.

If he feels cold again and let Westbrook attack wildly by himself, his injury will definitely worsen.

Richard also played well in this game again, scoring 10 points on 7 of 16 shots.

The performance has gradually stabilized, which is a good thing, but bad signs have already appeared.

Although the Suns starting shooting guard Booker did not seriously defend Richard, after all Booker was trying his best to score points and basically did not participate in the defense.

But the backup guard has already reached a very serious state in defending Richard.

It's just that not every team is strong as a substitute player.

The Suns, who are at the bottom of the league, certainly don't have strong role players. Facing them, Richard can still play smoothly.

This also gave Richard a reminder that he has begun to be taken seriously by various teams.

A player who averaged 13 points per game and has been able to score around 16 points in the near future has almost reached the level of the team's sixth man.

The playing time has also stabilized at around 18 minutes.

18 points in 13 minutes, 36 points in 26 minutes, or 32 points in the near future, which is already the ability of a league star.

Of course, the conversion does not represent the real level, but Richard's high efficiency and stable scoring seem to make him a regular weapon of the Thunder.

If you can't suppress this weapon, you will be hurt by it as a matter of course.

The more outstanding Richard's ability, the more respect he will get, the respect of the audience, the fans, and of course the respect of his opponents.

And the opponent's respect is naturally to give all-out response, high-pressure defense and counterattack, and the rookie wall is slowly piling up.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.
