Chapter 35 So He Was Such Colin

During these ten days, for Yang Ze, it was both anticipation and suffering.

The anticipation is because he always holds the idea that the coach will let me play, and there must be a chance in the next game.

And the suffering is naturally conceivable, one disappointment after another, until there is no hope at all.

Ze Yang returned to Philadelphia. He didn't go to Iverson, nor did he go to West Lions Club. Instead, he found a house and settled down. How will he plan in the future?

He is also asking himself, should he go on the road of basketball, and how to go on?
For five consecutive days, no team contacted Yang Ze, and his fighting spirit disappeared virtually.

On November 11, Yang Ze was walking aimlessly on the streets of Philadelphia when his phone rang suddenly.

Picking up the phone and looking at it, Yang Ze was shocked at the time, it turned out to be Zig Blair who had disappeared for more than half a year.

Yang Ze answered the phone immediately.

"Yang, where are you, I want to talk to you."

"Okay, I'll come to your house."

The house that Yang Ze rented was roughly halfway between Colin's house and Pennsylvania State University. At Yang Ze's current speed, he could get there in more than ten minutes.

Zige sent a message to let Yang Ze go to the "dream" training ground.

"Danna? Didn't you go to China?"

"Zig, where have you been for the past half a year? I can't contact you anyway. You seem to have disappeared."

As soon as Yang Ze saw the two, he immediately asked questions.

"Yang, I'm sorry, it's father who told us not to see you anymore." Dana's complexion was not good. Like Zig, the two of them looked haggard.

"Why? Why?"

Zig patted Yang Ze on the shoulder and said, "We'll talk about this later, I have a few questions for you."

Yang Ze nodded, since we met, there must be many things to be clarified, don't worry, ask one by one.

"Why didn't you play in the NBA?"

Yang Ze shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "You know, although I was selected by Phoenix, they didn't need me, and they treated me as a gift from the Rajon Rondo trade.

At the Celtics, they promised me a contract, but it was a ten-day contract. I begged the head coach several times to let me play, but when the ten days came, I was kicked out. "

Dana immediately asked, "What about now?"

Yang Ze: "Now? The me I am now is a joke."

"Are you giving up? Didn't play a game in the NBA, didn't play for 1 minute, what's the difference between this and not entering the NBA?"

Yang Ze was a little emotional, and almost roared at Dana: "Do you think I don't want to fight? No, they don't give me a chance to play, and I don't want to, but what can I do?"

He is a talented person with a vain ambition of Lingyun, and he has never opened his arms in his life.

"Yang, you can't give up, I beg you not to give up." Dana cried suddenly.

Something is wrong, there must be something wrong, Yang Ze hurriedly asked: "What's wrong, what happened?"

Zig sighed and said, "Go and see your father, he might, might"

Colin is dying?
Yes, even Zig choked up when he said it, that's what he meant, but he couldn't bear to say it himself.

"What happened to Colin?"

"Actually, my father has been diagnosed with chronic leukemia before he saw you. The doctor said that he still has 24 months at most, so he has been guiding you in training for more than a year. If he can't train an NBA player, he really doesn't care. Willingly."

"Here, you have sweated too much and put in too much time and energy, but your father has paid no less than you. He is helping you with his overdrawn life, and he is also helping himself.

When he started training with you, he also doubted whether he could fulfill his lifelong dream in the last days, but later, the toughness and speed of progress you showed made his father see hope again. "

"His plan was perfect, really, but unfortunately, his condition suddenly worsened, so he made an excuse and kicked you out of the house.

My father said that you are a person who values ​​love and righteousness. There is not much time for the NBA draft. You can't delay you because of him, so he took us and disappeared. "

It turned out to be the case.

Yang Ze now understands everything.

He finally understood what Colin said when they met, this is the deadline I set for myself, and that was what it meant.

He finally understood that Zige and Danna hesitated to speak several times, just because they didn't want Yang Ze to be distracted by this.

He finally understood why Colin was sweating profusely on the court, but still wrapped in a down jacket and cotton jacket, just because he didn't want Yang Ze to be suspicious when he saw his emaciated body.

He finally understood that it wasn't that Colin drove him away cruelly, nor that Colin didn't want to help him anymore, but that his body could no longer support him.

In Yang Ze's heart, the image of Colin Blair suddenly became taller.

Compared with the contribution of this old man, it is nothing to be wronged by myself in the Suns and Celtics.

He even wants to fulfill his wish of overdrafting his life, but Yang Ze is wandering in the streets, wasting his time.

Yang Ze slapped himself hard twice.

"Why didn't I find out earlier, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Yang Ze shouted.

"Where is he? Take me to see him."

Dana had already cried into tears, Zig nodded, and the three of them walked towards the car.

On the way to the hospital, Ziger also told Yang Ze that Colin had received chemotherapy five times within half a year, and each chemotherapy was extending his life.

Colin was still willing to undergo chemotherapy for the first few times, but after the NBA draft, when he saw that Ze Yang was selected by the Phoenix Suns, he was no longer willing to undergo chemotherapy for the third time.

Colin spent almost half a year in the hospital. In order to treat the illness, they sold the house, and Dana also returned to China to find a job.

Yang Ze has a deep understanding of this disease. In his previous life, he suffered from acute leukemia and stayed in the hospital bed for four or five months. Ke Lin has chronic leukemia and needs chemotherapy almost every month, which costs [-] to [-] (RMB).

When I arrived at the hospital, the first thing I saw was Moya, the usually rich housewife, but now she has lost a lot of weight. His hair is a little messy, and the dark circles around his eyes are serious.

Moya saw Yang Ze, hugged him and cried for a long time.

"I want to see Colin, can I, Aunt Moya."

Mo Ya nodded and let Yang Ze enter the ward.

Colin on the hospital bed was still sleeping. His body, which was considered healthy, was now skinny. Because of chemotherapy, the hair on his head had been cut off. If Moya hadn't brought Yang Ze to the bed, Yang Ze would hardly have recognized him. This is Colin Blair who trained with him for a year.

Sitting in front of the hospital bed, Yang Ze recalled every detail of training with Colin. At that time, his voice was powerful and powerful, and his voice telling Yang Ze to go faster echoed throughout the training ground.

At that time, he was old and strong. When the two of them were training, in order to save time for Yang Ze, he was not only a coach but also a caddy.

At that time, he had a voice and a smile, and it was hard for you to tell from his smile what troubles he had.

It is such an old man, an old man who is persistent for his dream, even he is working hard for his dream, so what qualifications do we have to talk about giving up.
