"So, that draft was really mixed with all kinds of unexpected hodgepodges?"

After 24 years, when Chen Mo heard Wei Xia tell the story of that year in person, it seemed a little different from what he imagined.

"Yes, I tried many teams, and there were indeed several teams who gave me a draft promise. Since they all wanted me, there was naturally a competition," Wei Xia said without feeling his smugness. "This is also interesting in the draft."

Wei Xia said that he was an experienced management person, but in fact, he has not engaged in basketball-related activities since he retired.

James is planning to own an NBA team. Although Kobe made movies, wrote novels, and autobiography, he did not delay him becoming the dean of the Mamba Academy. Only Wei Xia, a player of a profound influence on a time, lived an ordinary life after retirement.

The only difference between him and ordinary people is that his total salary in his career is nearly $300 million.

Chen Mo looked at the time, but unexpectedly three hours had passed.

"Is it a bit late?" Wei Xia said with unsatisfactory, "I still have some stories to tell."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "If it's convenient for you, will we continue here tomorrow?"

"No, there are too many people here, it's inconvenient." Wei Xia had an idea in her mind, "Tomorrow you come to 'kobe' restaurant'.'

Chen Mo heard the name of the restaurant, and said, "Is there any story about this name?"

"There is nothing to say, and things that have something to do with Kobe are never a good thing." It seems that the restaurant also has an unknown story.

Chen Mo didn't need Wei Xia to tell all his stories.

He sorted out the notes in his hand and said, "Okay, but I need to ask you a few more questions."

"May I ask." Wei Xia said casually.

Chen Mo immediately asked the first question: "What does Kobe mean to you during your high school years?"

“Basic.”

"Do you regret not choosing Connecticut?"

"Why do you ask that?"

Chen Mo said: "Your shooting is a cliché. If you chose Connecticut, they could use the best shooting research team in the United States to improve your shooting."

Wei Xia smiled, and Chen Mo seemed to not take the "dream" he regarded as the focus seriously.

In order not to make the old days sound too amazing, Wei Xia only said that it was something that happened in the lucid dream. He did not say that what he did in the dream became a reality. Therefore, it is normal for Chen Mo to ignore the importance of dreams.

But that is the most important thing.

Wei Xia didn't know how to guide him correctly, maybe things in the old days would never be known.

"No, even if the God of Shooting teaches me, my shooting will not improve at that time." Wei Xia explained. "My shooting has been up and down many times. Before I was in the ninth grade, I couldn't shoot at all. Before I graduated from high school, I made good shooting, but in the summer of my freshman season, my physical fitness grew rapidly and my palms developed again that summer. The previous shooting feel was no longer applicable, which was not a controllable situation."

Chen Mo did ignore the most important part, and he did not ask anything about dreams.

His last question: "Is it true that stealing Haflicek's story?"

“It’s true.”

"How do you prove it? I have no intention of offending, I just find it incredible." Chen Mo explained.

Wei Xia smiled gently and said, "Before I saw it with my own eyes, I was just skeptical."

"See it with your own eyes? Where?"

Wei Xia once again reminded him of the importance of dreams: "In the dream."

Because it was too late, Chen Mo and Wei Xia separated temporarily.

He went back to sort out the story Wei Xia told, which was only 159 cm before the ninth grade, and the average annual growth rate in the next four years was nearly 10 cm, until he reached 196 cm before graduating from high school.

According to "wish", those things happen after dreams. He seems to intentionally associate the things that grow taller with dreams.

In the story told by Wei Xia, dreams occupy one-fifth of the space.

For Chen Mo, the stories in the dream are only suitable for introduction as scraps, but Wei Xia regards them as a top priority.

That night, Chen Mo went back to inquire about lucid dreams.

He believes that "wish" is a master-level lucid dream expert. Perhaps the dreams he has had are stories that happened in reality, or perhaps those dreams were constructed in his subconscious mind.

Although the things in the dream cannot occupy too much space, Chen Mo also heard many interesting secrets.

Kobe's significance to "wish", when did his influence on "wish", and the change in "wish"'s view of Kobe, the story of his college years, and the trial before the draft.

Chris Mullin's attention, Isaiah Thomas and Larry Brown's mishandling, the stupidity of the Bucks, Eagles, Bobcats and other teams and the Trail Blazers who broke out halfway and were confirmed again, Phil Jackson, who was as strong as rumored.

Chen Mo really likes Wei Xia's story about his trial training for five hours without drinking a sip of water and all the people who accompanied him for trial training were exhausted.

That was a very "wish" story.

You do whatever you want, I won't talk nonsense to you, I just make sure that I am the one standing after the end.

That was what he was doing on the first day of his career.

No one can make him surrender, Jackson cannot, Kobe cannot, LeBron James cannot, Stephen Curry cannot, Kevin Durant cannot, Injuries cannot, Everything, Can't.

When "wish" mentioned the dream about Haflicek, Chen Mo felt that it was magical and unreal, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that the two of them were so similar.

Chen Mo has never watched Haflicek's game. For him, this legendary figure who has passed away for 10 years is just a historical symbol.

Because he had been engaged in basketball before, he learned about Havlicek in the eyes of his contemporary opponents and teammates through many information.

Regarding "Hongduo", the most common evaluation he heard was modesty, kindness, diligence, and exhaustion, "real superstar".

Jerry West's comment on the mortal enemy is memorable: "John Haflicecke is a real superstar, and the other superstars are just fictional characters written by critics and authors. Hondo is unique, and when he leaves, those great qualities go with him."

Isn’t it the same to put this review in a revision of the “wish”?

Great characters can empathize and resonate.

The next day, Chen Mo went to the "Kobe>Hope" restaurant early as the time agreed with Wei Xia.

Wei Xia's mother is British, and anyone who has been to the UK will admire the British talent for naming. However, Wei Xia did not inherit his mother's talent. Judging from his restaurant name alone, there is no other adjective except bad ones.

"If you want to eat something, order whatever you want, I'll treat you."

Wei Xia said kindly. Although the restaurant's name is not very good, the things are delicious, and he is confident in this.

Chen Mo did not want to be affected by other things. He politely declined Wei Xia's kindness and took out the recorder and notebook, just like a reloaded cannon, ready to open fire.

Seeing that he had no intention of eating and drinking, Wei Xia asked, "How do we start this time?"

"Just take the part that ended yesterday." Chen Mo suggested.
