The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 92 Community Care!Chicken soup master Zhang Bolong!

During these two days, apart from studying Deron's shuffle and participating in the team's routine training, Zhang Bolong also participated in a community care activity with the whole team.

In his previous life, the NBA launched "NBA Cares" in China more than once. For example, the legendary star Chris Mullin and the star forward Caron Butler have all come to the great country on the other side of the ocean. In the name of basketball, actions related to charity and love are carried out.

In this life, because of Lan Dongliang, the NBA and Huaxia are more closely connected. In the few years after Zhang Bolong traveled through, the NBA held very frequent caring activities in China every year.

Every year during the offseason, many big-name NBA stars come here to discuss common love and fun with these children of different skin colors and help them grow up healthily and happily.

Different from those commercial catwalks that are purely for profit, the NBA Care Action really makes people feel the warmth and strength of basketball, and also makes those all-powerful stars on the court show another unknown face.

As Butler said when answering a Chinese girl's question "what is happiness":
"For me, playing basketball is a very happy thing.

Because it is basketball, let me see the whole world.

15 years ago, I was just playing in the backyard of a small city in Wisconsin.

And at this moment, I flew to China, which is more than 1 kilometers away from the United States, and then I saw you in such a beautiful place.

It makes me feel very happy. "

The children at the scene were also deeply affected, and they clapped their little hands vigorously.

In fact, the public welfare activities carried out by the NBA in China are just a microcosm of its fulfillment of social responsibilities.

In the lighthouse country, from the NBA to 30 teams, and then to NBA players of all sizes, they have long been familiar with participating in charity and have formed a professional operating system.

Although Xiao Hua's series of showy operations in the previous life caused the league's image in China to suffer a great crisis, and it also made some people cut off the NBA that they have poured a lot of love into.

But during the Stern period, the old man still knew how the league should develop.

Since 1946, the NBA has gone through more than 60 years.

Over the past 60 years, the NBA has developed from a domestic league without television broadcasts to one of the most successful professional leagues in the world, which fully interprets the concept of the sports industry.

For this growing business empire, social responsibility is the core and most important task.

In the NBA, the charity plan is formulated by the NBA League, and every team and star must participate.

The earliest public welfare activity in the league was "Team Up" in the mid-20s.

During the annual NBA All-Star Game, 1 representatives of outstanding primary school students who are enthusiastic about public welfare will be invited to the arena, and popular NBA stars will sing for them.

In 1997, Kobe, who had just entered the NBA at the time, performed singing, dancing, rap and basketball for the children, making the elementary school students scream with excitement.

This also left a deep impression on Mr. Su Qiong, the then editor-in-chief of "Basketball Pioneer".

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans,

Former "Queen Bee" Baron Davis took the lead in donating $6 to the Red Cross;
"Shark" O'Neill donated various relief items;
The future "horse political commissar" and the "lone wolf" Marbury donated 100 million US dollars;
"Wolf King" Garnett even donated 120 million US dollars to help build 24 houses in the local area...

The enthusiasm of the stars coincided with David Stern's plan, and a rare catastrophe became the starting point of "NBA Care Action".

"All groups contribute to the health, well-being and advancement of society, and professional sports leagues have a special role to play. The extraordinary stature of NBA players enables them to make a difference in society."

David Stern said so.

Since then, all public welfare activities of the NBA have been unified under the "NBA Care Action".With the pace of NBA commercial promotion, "NBA Care Action" has also reached all over the world.

This time, Zhang Bolong also took the team bus with the Lakers to a community on the outskirts of Los Angeles.

In addition to the players of the whole team, the Lakers' cheerleading squad will also follow. This time they will play with 100 children on ice in the community gymnasium and distribute food such as canned food and cooking oil.

Although Kobe always has a serious and stern donkey face on the court, he has a kind of post-retirement kindness to the children, and his white teeth are always hidden in a warm and sincere smile.

Perhaps these noisy children reminded him of his own daughter.

Although he didn't put on his skates to skate with him, he would say "have fun" to every child he met, which made the children very excited.

In addition to Kobe, the most popular among children is naturally the extremely popular Zhang Bolong.

Relying on the appearance of killing without borders, there are even more children around him than Kobe, and he immediately became the "king of children".

"Long, I always thought that yellow people can't play, but you play really cool!" said a little white boy with freckles.

"Haven't you watched the Rockets' Yao play? He is much better than me." Zhang Bolong laughed.

"Yao? I think he's just tall, just like Doyle. He can always easily block our shots with his height."

The little boy shook his head and said,

"Your shooting is the real skill!"

"No, child."

Zhang Bolong touched his head,

"Height is just a part of basketball, just like Iverson's dribbling, Ray Allen's shooting and my handsomeness, it's all a part of talent.

There are a lot of tall men in the world, but very few of them can play in the NBA, and even rarer can be famous.

Talent cannot be changed, but what determines whether the talent can be fulfilled is how much effort we can put in for it, do you understand? "

The children nodded or shook their heads half-understanding.

"Whether we are tall or short, whether we are yellow or black or white, we all have the opportunity to realize our dreams, as long as we work hard."

"Is it really possible?" A very short black boy said, "But after working hard, what should I do if I find that I really don't have talent..."

This kid thinks very deeply...

Zhang Bolong raised his eyebrows, stretched out his arms to embrace the children by his side, looked at the pure and immature faces,
"That way, at least you won't leave any regrets for yourself, right?

As Edison said, genius is one percent inspiration plus 90.00 percent perspiration.

Barry explained 'white people can fly', and Yao and I are proving that 'yellow people can also play basketball well'.

No one can define your life, and the pen to write the future is in your own hands. "
