Chapter 15 [Mutual Help]

Abby looked down at the tent, and raised his right thumb at Wang Jun. "I didn't expect that you would have American style soon after you arrived. You actually camped here instead of renting a house. It's cool!"

"Is that so? Haha." Wang Jun couldn't believe it. Not only did she not look down on him, but she also thought it was cool?

"I like camping when I was a child. I also had tents at home, which were bigger than this one. In the past, our whole family often went to the national park during the NBA offseason." Abby took a deep breath, as if he was savoring the camping incident.

"If you don't think this is too down and out, I'll feel relieved." Wang Jun relaxed and smiled. "When you first asked me where I live, I didn't dare to tell you, for fear that you would look down on me."

"You came to work from China. You just arrived in Ann Arbor and knew that buying a tent was both cost-effective and fun. Why do I look down on you? What a smart choice." Abby smiled.

Wang Jun asked: "Then is there anything you need to ask me for? How do you know I'm here?"

"A friend went to have a meal and said that he had seen you here in the park. I was curious and came over to take a look."

In fact, Abby was sent by David, so she could see how he was doing and whether she needed help without hurting Wang Jun’s self-esteem.

After chatting for a while, Abby mentioned the weather in Ann Arbor, which will become very cold by September.

"Yes, you won't be able to camp then."

The cheap apartment is too far from the school, and it is too expensive to rent nearby. If Wang Jun wants to rent a suitable apartment, he still has to ask Abby for help.

Abby felt the time was up and said her purpose. "If you want to rent a house, I can help."

"You still know the landlord?" Wang Jun looked at Abby and admired her. She had such a wide connection.

"No, I can let you live in the apartment I live in now," Abby replied.

"Ah? Live in your apartment?" Wang Jun asked in a thrust. He must have thought too much, right? Although he had heard that Americans were very open, he would not have invited him to live together just after meeting him, right?

"Where did you think of? I'll move out!" Abby saw that he was thinking wrongly and stamped his feet.

"Sorry, I'm just a little surprised because the house looks good." Wang Jun reacted and quickly explained. "What if I live there, what will you do?"

Abby shrugged. "My grandpa has been in Ann Arbor for five years and has a house here. The apartment is arranged by the school, and we are not the owners, so you don't have to pay the rent."

If Wang Jun doesn't understand that the grandfather and grandson want to help him in different ways, he will be an idiot. "How can you be embarrassed if you don't collect rent?"

"Just treat it as a benefit for you, you must defeat your competitors and join the basketball team. As long as you can shoot more three-pointers to help the team, it will give my grandfather the best reward. I originally wanted to suggest you give you $20 in a formal game."

"There are prizes to score? Then I'll choose to pitch!" Wang Jun's eyes shone.

He is worthy of being a rich third generation from the star family. He is 20 yuan per three-pointer. If he invests five in one game, he can make 100 yuan. How can ordinary people have this idea?

Abby wondered. “Hey, don’t you like to take advantage of it?”

"It's different. This is a goal reward, it's obtained through labor." Wang Jun immediately retorted.

Unfortunately, Abby poured a basin of cold water on him. "It's so regretful, my grandfather said no. Players can collect money at will, and if someone reports it, you will be banned. The apartment is fine, my grandfather has the right to decide who to live there. That's it. I'll notify you when I move out, the furniture will be left and you can do something else tonight. I'm leaving."

"That's it. I'll send you back, it's getting late."

“OK.”

Wang Jun did not refuse the kindness of the apartment, otherwise he would be too dissatisfied. When he came to the United States, he felt that the luckiest thing was to meet Abby. She was like an angel, bringing him good luck.

The next day, Wang Jun and Abby went to see the apartment. Of course, he didn't want to sleep in the park, so it was inconvenient to do anything, especially to run far away when going to the toilet.

This is a single apartment, very spacious, the house is clean and well-furnished. The roof is very high and the space is large, which is much better than the house in China.

Wang Jun smelled the faint fragrance, and thought that the boudoir of beautiful women was all year round, his heart beat a few times.

David patted his shoulder and said, "I heard that you worked hard to lose weight, and you looked a little thinner. Keep working hard, I believe you will stay."

"Thank you, I..." Wang Jun wanted to say something to thank, but now he has poor vocabulary.

In China, his uncle and uncle are all in other places. He did not say anything after knowing that something happened to his family. Since he had lost his father when he was a child, his family had almost cut off contact with the Wang family. Except for his aunt, he had never felt the warmth of his relatives.

Unexpectedly, in a foreign country, known as the capitalist money society, it was very rare to meet a good person who was willing to help him.

David said gently: "This year, the team's record has been broken, so I can only hold my coach position firmly. We are helping each other. If someone is waiting to see our jokes, we must not let him succeed."

"Well, I will definitely play well." Wang Jun nodded solemnly and asked: "Who wants to make a joke? Coach, do you have enemies?"

Abby rushed to say: "He is the team's assistant coach. He really wants to be the head coach, but he has never fought for my grandfather..."

Then, Abby spent five minutes telling Wang Jun about the conflict between the two. The people in the Horacek family all had good tempers, but they would not accept it. They were very straightforward in their bones and had clear grudges.

Wang Jun was even more moved by knowing that David had withstood the pressure and recommended him. This recognition gave him a sense of knowing and belonging of meeting Bole for a thousand miles, and a scholar who died for his confidant. He is not just working hard for himself now.

Wang Jun also disliked Jill Adamson. This man actually said that he was a homeless man and wanted to use him as a tool to criticize David. He was so a bastard.

After Abby finished speaking, he drank a sip of water. David continued: "The best counterattack now is to stay and make the players he recommends not get the scholarship. Once you lose the test, the team's tactics can only be used as a counterattack in the new season, and the record will definitely be difficult to improve. That guy will say that the counterattack is his suggestion, he is good at it, and find a way to squeeze me away."

Wang Jun took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

"Wang, don't bear too much psychological pressure. Rickenmore is a player with excellent physical fitness and poor shooting. As long as you don't fall behind him too much during physical testing, you will definitely conquer everyone by shooting. I heard that you have lost weight in the swimming pool recently?"

"Um."

"The choice is good, but it's still too slow and you have to sweat. If you are not afraid of hard work, I can give you some guidance. Would you like to start training with me tomorrow?" David asked.

"Of course I do."

David nodded with satisfaction. "This kind of training method is for NBA players to lose weight. It is very professional and hard. Last year, I asked the team's center Kaman to practice. He didn't stick to it and couldn't stand it in a few days. You have to be mentally prepared. I hope you will be stronger than him."
