Chapter 40 Break up
High salary, return home with honor!
These words fell to Zhou Lin's ears, but they seemed to have some ironic meaning.

Yes, I can indeed get a high salary and some honors when I return to my country. Entering a lower-level league to play will mean that my level will stagnate.

It’s not that Zhou Lin looks down on the CBA, but Zhou Lin feels that the CBA league itself has some immaturity. The professionalization of the league is not thorough enough. The results fluctuate.

From Zhou Lin's point of view, it's a big deal.

Before his rebirth, Zhou Lin was also a seasoned basketball fan. Seeing the repeated defeats of the Chinese national team, he felt indignant.

How many times I was full of longing, but how many times I was disappointed.

Most of the time, the CBA league is dominated by dark-skinned foreign players. It is true that teams are more and more willing to spend money on signings, and the viewing pleasure of the league has improved.

But if you hand over the decision-making power of the league to foreign players, what about the domestic players in the team?

Even domestic players at the national level show their flaws as soon as they come to the international arena, not only losing to European and American countries, but even gradually losing their dominance in Asia.

Of course, this is also a pain point in the history of Chinese basketball development.

It is a vicious cycle for players to be complacent, greedy for the domestic high-salary environment, and unwilling to attack higher-level leagues.

If Chinese basketball wants to become stronger, it is not only to bring in, but also to go out, stand at a higher level to see, fight hard, and bring a better basketball system and training back to China.

To put it mildly, Zhou Lin’s basketball opportunities are unprecedented. He is not yet 18 years old, and he can continue to become stronger. It is also very difficult to go outside.

Dong Hua found his mother, Xu Fanghua, and came to the United States with a contract. He had a feeling of visiting the thatched cottage, and his mother, Xu Fanghua, who had not seen him for several years, was tempted after learning that her son was worth a million annual salary.

"Zhou Lin, if you give up such a good opportunity, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life."

Xu Fanghua scolded and said: "It is true that you have achieved a little bit in the United States, but this is the United States. There are so many talents. You can beat those foreigners. If you look down on our Chinese league, then you I want to enter the NBA, but have you ever thought about it? There are only one or two people in China who play in the United States. Yes, Yao Ming has achieved results, but do you have a height of 2 meters?"

Zhou Lin didn't answer, Xu Fanghua's tone softened and said: "Mom is sure of your ability, but you also need to help you recognize the reality. Back to China, our life will be safe, and it would be nice to have a family reunion. Your dedication over the years is also worth it. With the return, Zhou Lin, let's sign the contract."

"Yes."

Dong Hua took out the contract from the purse on one side and said: "Sign it, the entire CBA, if you can spend a million annual salary to sign a rookie, only our Shanghai team is so bold."

Zhou Lin was angry, but still kept calm and said: "Mr. Dong, I thank you Sea Sharks for their generosity, but I said that I will not go to China to play professional games. This cannot be changed, and I don't like you very much. disturb my family."

Xu Fanghua said: "You child, how do you talk?"

Zhou Lin looked at Xu Fanghua and said: "Thinking about it now, I am still a child. When I came to the United States, I was only 14 years old. In the past four years, you have not even seen me once. Why can't you remember at that time?" , I am a child, the reason why you are willing to come to the United States is that I am worth money now? Mom, I still respect you, but the contract matter, I decide for myself. If you are willing to play in the United States for a few days, I will accompany you , other things, I won't make any changes."

Xu Fanghua said loudly: "If it weren't for me, would you be able to come to the United States? I am your mother, you have to listen to me, today's contract, if you don't sign it, you have to sign it."

"Hi."

Wang Hanxiang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Madam, this is the United States. Even if you are Zhou Lin's mother, if you do something out of line, your child can still sue you."

Xu Fanghua said: "Is it your turn to make irresponsible remarks about our family affairs?"

Zhou Lin said coldly: "A few years ago, when you remarried in China, I almost froze to death on the streets of Washington. If it weren't for Uncle Wang, how would you have the opportunity to give orders here now? Mom, what I should say is already I said it, don't make me hate you any more."

Xu Fanghua said: "Mr. Dong, I am Zhou Lin's mother. He is underage. I will sign the contract for him. If he does not return, he will return."

Dong Hua shook his head and said, "Although he is not yet 18 years old, contracts signed by relatives are not protected by law unless there is a letter of authorization from Zhou Lin."

Dong Hua still has this bit of legal common sense.

"You will regret it, even if you go back to China, don't come to see me again!" Xu Fanghua said angrily.

After finishing speaking, he stepped on his high heels and walked out the door.

"Hey!" Wang Hanxiang patted Zhou Lin's shoulder and sighed softly.

Every family has its cupboard.

"Your mother looks very young and beautiful."

While having dinner, Wang Hanxiang said suddenly.

Zhou Lin sighed: "Originally, I planned to invite her to come to the United States for my high school graduation ceremony, but I didn't expect her to come earlier. It's a pity that even if I want to invite her to my graduation ceremony now, she won't." I'm coming."

"There's no need to be so stiff."

Wang Hanxiang sighed softly: "It's like I have been in the United States for so many years, and I actually regret it a bit. Now I want to go back, but I am also old, and my old mother is gone. My brothers and sisters may feel that I'm dead in America."

Zhou Lin said slowly: "I don't hate her too much. My mother is also a poor person. She was supposed to be a woman with a good life, but when she was born, she happened to meet a cultural DGM. My business grandfather died in that turmoil. , I joined the local song and dance troupe when I was a teenager, and I was also a starlet. Now, I guess I can participate in a beauty pageant or something. Later, the song and dance troupe was in a downturn, and I was assigned to a factory. At that time, I met my father who was the director of the factory, and he had only been a rich wife for a few years, but I never expected that my father went bankrupt when he went into business and encountered a big economic wave. When he died, she had no choice but to remarry. But I heard from some of my uncles that his current husband seems to have encountered difficulties in his career."

Wang Hanxiang patted Zhou Lin's shoulder to express his comfort.

Zhou Lin sighed: "She always likes to compare herself to Qingwen in the Dream of the Red Chamber. Her heart is higher than the sky but her life is thinner than paper. Think about it, there are really some similarities, so I can understand her."
