On the first day of the holiday, Li Tian came to the training hall and started training as always.
"Lee, I knew you were in the training hall. How about Conley? I was right." Gasol and a group of players came to the training hall.
"Come on, Li, you also need to give your training staff a holiday. Christmas Eve is coming soon, and you need to let them spend time with their families." Conley made the decision to give the training staff a holiday.
After saying that, several people took Li Tian to a slum community in Memphis.
Li Tian thought for a while and realized that he had not picked out gifts for his teammates yet. After the event, he would drive to buy some gifts for his teammates.
Li Tian knew that there was a lot of news like this in his previous life.
For NBA players, this is a thought, and it also builds relationships with teammates. Everyone is not short of money, so it’s not that they can’t afford these gifts.
Kobe gave his teammates some products such as headphones and computers that he endorsed, and Yao Ming also gave his teammates some gifts.
"Li, here are your clothes. You need to wear Santa Claus clothes to go to the community and give some surprises to the children in the community." Conley handed the clothes to Li Tian.
"Why does Li still look more handsome than me even though he's wearing Santa Claus clothes?" Lori said unconvinced.
"If you are ugly, don't do so many things and just accept your fate." Li Tian is still very confident about this. After long-term training, the beauty of his body lines has become even more explosive.
"Let's go to the community quickly, otherwise we will be late." The staff drove all the Grizzlies players to their activity community.
Seeing these cute children, Li Tian didn't know what they would become in the future. Maybe most of them would become robbers in the future, and they would have to sacrifice their lives for a bite to eat.
Li Tian also wants to use his own strength to help them. Maybe basketball can help them and change their lives.
"Hello, kids, I am player No. 0 from Memphis, and this is a gift for you." Li Tian said hello to the kids.
"Uncle, can I become an athlete like you in the future? I'm really tall." A thin black boy wiped his dirty hands on his body several times.
He stretched out his little hands that still looked a little dirty.
"Kid, you can do it. As long as you have a dream, you will succeed. My uncle was as thin as you when he was a child." Li Tian comforted the little boy and encouraged him to play basketball.
What Li Tian did not expect was that this little boy would become an important member of his own dynasty.
Because of a word of encouragement, he became an All-Star player.
Li Tian turned around and asked the Grizzlies staff for a basketball and a pair of training clothes.
"Kid, this is given to you by your uncle. If you really love basketball, I hope this can help you." Li Tian signed all these things with his name.
Then he handed the child a piece of paper with his personal phone number written on it, "This is my personal phone number. If you have any questions about basketball that you don't understand, you can call me and ask me. This is a little secret between us, don't tell me." Someone else." He said and secretly handed the note to the little black boy.
"Uncle, thank you, I will work hard to become a player like you." The little boy clenched his fists hard.
"I believe you can do it. I hope one day we can play on the same basketball court." Seeing the little boy's expression reminded Li Tian of his childhood.
His family members were opposed to his development into basketball and felt that sports competition would not bring him anything.
"Uncle, I can do it. I will definitely enter the NBA." The little boy's voice was not loud, but the persistence in his heart could be heard.
"Pull the hook, if a man makes a promise, he must fulfill it."
Li Tian then gave some gifts to other children, but he didn't meet any children like the previous one.
They all accepted the gifts and thanked them, and there were no more questions.
Gasol and the others took the children and played a special game.
The most eye-catching thing is the little boy just now. He was very thin and tried his best to grab the ball every time. He fell down, patted himself with his hands, and then continued to run and fight for the ball.
After half a day of activity, Li Tian didn't feel tired at all.
After Li Tian and others left, the little boy watched them leave.
Looking at their retreating figures, the little boy bowed deeply and muttered, "I will definitely succeed and enter the NBA."
…
Li Tian came to a large shopping mall near Memphis. This was the third time he had been here in Memphis for so long.
The first time was because I had just arrived in Memphis and needed to shop for daily necessities; the second time was when I went shopping with Taylor and bought a lot of things; this time it was to help my teammates choose some gifts.
Thinking of the products he endorsed, the endorsement company also gave him some products, so he only needed to buy some of them this time.
I bought some game consoles, headphones...
I left with lots of gifts in my hands.
…
Li Tian didn't train for too long today, and Li Tian felt a little uncomfortable.
I was just about to do some simple strength training when I heard the phone ringing.
"Taylor, I'm glad to receive your call." I originally planned to call Taylor on Christmas Eve, but I didn't expect that Taylor would call me in advance.
"Li, thank you for your gift. I really like your gift." Taylor was very happy to receive Li Tian's gift. When she saw the gift, she could feel that Li Tian specially selected it for her.
I felt that Li Tian's treatment of me was slowly changing, and I felt that my persistence was not in vain.
"As long as you like it, I'm sorry, I forgot your birthday." Li Tian felt very guilty, knowing that Taylor had paid a lot for him, but he couldn't make any promises to Taylor.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can remember, I'm already happy." Taylor extended an invitation again, "Li, I saw that you haven't played in the past few days. Do you want to come to Los Angeles to record a song together?"
It's been a long time since this incident, Li Tian has forgotten it, but Taylor still remembers it.
There is a big difference in reputation between the two, so Li Tian, with his damn pride, still tries to keep a distance.
"That's good..." Li Tian didn't know what to say.
"Li, I also give you a gift, hoping to surprise you." Taylor also specially prepared a Christmas gift for Li Tian, although he knew that Li Tian would not celebrate Christmas.
But Taylor still specially selected a gift for Li Tian.
"Thank you, Taylor, I think I will definitely like it very much." After saying a few words, Li Tian quickly hung up the phone.
Li Tian's current thoughts are somewhat unclear to him, especially regarding Taylor, how he should handle his relationship with Taylor.
The thoughts in my mind were very chaotic and became a little manic.
In order to calm down, Li Tian put on his usual training clothes.
He practiced Tai Chi over and over again until his mood slowly calmed down, and then Li Tian stopped.
My clothes were soaked and I stood in the courtyard.
A gust of cool wind pulled Li Tian out of it. Since he is not sure yet, he will talk about it later. There is no need to force himself.
