Wang Yi still has some understanding of Danny.
Like many black NBA stars, he grew up in a slum.
But unlike those black NBA stars, he was raised by his father.
He has been accustomed to violence, crime, blood, and drug abuse since he was a child.
Generally, such children will develop two personalities in the future: one is strong and unyielding, and the other is tenacious and resolute.
The other type is frightened by these things and becomes timid and cowardly from then on.
Unfortunately, Danny falls into the latter category.
When he was only 5 years old, he witnessed a violent incident.
In the dirty alley in front of their shabby home, a man stabbed another man in the heart with a folding knife.
Blood spread under the man's body.
The murderer glared at Danny fiercely and walked away.
Since then, his world has been closed.
He is full of fear of interacting with other people.
He no longer interacts with anyone, he doesn't have a single friend.
Some people classify social phobia into mild, moderate, and severe.
And his social anxiety has exceeded this level.
It is extremely severe.
His father also regretted it.
In order to get him out of the shadow of social anxiety, his father first took him out of a slum neighborhood and rented a house in an upscale neighborhood.
Then he took him around to seek medical advice and a psychiatrist.
But the treatment turned out to be ineffective.
In desperation, his father had no choice but to try to cultivate his interests and hobbies.
It turned out that as soon as he came into contact with basketball, he became deeply obsessed with basketball.
He had no friends, so basketball became his only friend.
He holds a basketball every day even when he sleeps.
If he wanted to play basketball, he had to participate in the ball game, so for the basketball he loved, he had to bite the bullet and go to the ball game.
Strangely enough, Danny's social phobia is very severe.
It even got to the point where I didn’t dare to look at others on the street.
But on the court, he can face his opponents bravely.
So his father began to vigorously cultivate his basketball skills.
He looks forward to the day when basketball can help him get out of his fear.
Finally, with basketball, Danny was able to go to school.
Elementary school, high school, college.
He doesn't even have a single friend.
Even some teachers were a little annoyed by this student who barely spoke and didn't answer even if he was asked questions.
You can often see him walking alone on campus, holding a basketball.
But fortunately, his basketball talent is quite high for ordinary people.
Through basketball, he gradually came into contact with some people.
Later, his college coach tried his best to let him participate in the NBA draft.
At first he refused.
Because he knows that NBA players will have many interviews and meet many, many fans.
These are what he is extremely afraid of.
Later, with the encouragement of his father, he finally participated in the draft.
Selected by the Kings with the 27th pick in the second round.
Although he is playing in the NBA now, he only signed a rookie contract, and it was the minimum of $500,000.
After deducting state taxes and agent fees, as well as some training expenses, his actual income is only a few hundred thousand dollars per year.
He took his father to Sacramento and rented a high-end community for him to live in.
Coupled with the daily food and clothing expenses, and his investment in physical maintenance - for NBA players, investment in physical maintenance is essential. Just like if you buy a car, you must maintain it regularly. Although
His maintenance costs are not as high as those of Wang Yi and James, but compared to ordinary people, the costs are much higher.
So his hundreds of thousands of dollars were simply not enough.
Therefore, his life was still very difficult.
Every time he had a meal, if there was any leftovers, he would pack them up and take them away.
But he was afraid that other teammates would laugh at him, so he always waited until other teammates left before packing up.
Wang Yi thought about this, thought for a moment, then found a waiter and asked for a few empty lunch boxes.
Carrying an empty lunch box, he came to the restaurant.
After seeing Danny, he pretended to be surprised: "Danny?"
Danny was packing the food very seriously at first, but when he suddenly heard Wang Yi's words, he turned around in a panic and blocked the lunch box behind him.
Not daring to look into Wang Yi's eyes, he lowered his head and said: "Old... boss."
Wang Yi shook the lunch box in his hand: "I plan to pack a few meals to eat when I'm hungry in the afternoon. Hey, you can't laugh at your boss, or I'll be done with you."
Danny quickly waved his hands: "I don't... won't..."
As Wang Yi spoke, he began to pack the meals carelessly.
After packing six disposable lunch boxes, I was satisfied.
Then he pointed to the dining table behind Danny: "Hurry up and pretend. After pretending, we will leave together. Your boss, I will take you back."
Danny nodded mechanically, turned around and started packing the lunch box.
But at this time, his heart was filled with gratitude.
How could he not see that the boss came to pack things on purpose?
He is afraid of talking to people and interacting with people.
But he's not stupid.
Even smarter than the average person.
The acting of the boss is too poor.
I have never seen the boss packing anything during dinner parties before.
Moreover, the eldest brother has a personal nutritionist, who will make a plan for each meal, including what to eat and how much to eat.
It is impossible to just eat something when you are hungry like ordinary players.
Now he said that he was hungry and wanted to eat in the afternoon.
He naturally guessed that the boss was obviously doing this to relieve his own embarrassment.
I was afraid that other teammates would see me packing food, so my boss would pack it with me, so that even if other teammates saw it, no one would dare to say anything.
Danny understands all this.
But with his character, even if he sees through it, he won't expose it.
He just lowered his head and silently packed the food.
He also filled six disposable lunch boxes, then lifted the lunch boxes in plastic bags and glanced at Wang Yi.
Don't speak either.
Meaning: I packed it.
Wang Yi waved his hand: "Let's go."
The two arrived at the door of the villa, only to find that except for TT, the other teammates had not left.
Danny suddenly panicked.
The head hangs lower.
It was like he had done something shameful and was caught red-handed.
"You haven't left yet?"
Wang Yi looked at his teammates in confusion.
Hilde said: "We saw that you went back to find Danny, so we waited here to see if we needed help."
At this time, seeing the lunch box in Wang Yi's hand, Hilde wondered: "Boss, what are you..."
Wang Yi raised the lunch box carelessly: "Oh, this. The nutritionist won't let me eat anything else, but I'm also greedy. I have to live on a meager diet every day. Who can stand it? So I secretly pack some and go back to eat."
As he spoke, he deliberately glared at everyone: "Whoever dares to laugh at me, I will torture him to death in the next training match!"
Hilde glanced at Danny again.
Wang Yi explained: "Hey, in fact, it was just an excuse to find Danny. I asked him to accompany me to pack. If you see me as the boss packing while eating, it will be embarrassing for you, so I will bring in a scapegoat."
be made a scapegoat."
"Boss, how dare we laugh at you."
Mitchell immediately ran over: "Boss, if you hadn't told me earlier, if you had, I would have packed it for you myself."
Holmes waved his hand and said: "Boss, this is not a shameful thing. I wonder who has the courage to laugh at you."
When others pack up, the team members will laugh at him.
But Wang Yi won’t.
Wang Yi can lead such a group of players to the playoffs.
He led them all the way to the Western Conference.
Now we have reached the tiebreaker with the Warriors.
With this ability, he has gained absolute recognition from the players.
Naturally no one dared to laugh at him.
Danny lowered his head and remained silent.
Chapter completed!
