The 2015 NBA Draft was a big test for Christian Wood. As a college player, he rented a venue at a four-star hotel in Las Vegas and invited friends and family to watch the live stream in anticipation of the celebration after being selected. However, the reality is always cruel. After the first round of 30 drafts, his name did not appear, and he posted: "My heart is waiting. "The top-10 picks in the second round are over, and he still hasn't waited for his name. In the end, the draft was over, and he left the court gloomily, full of loss in his heart.
But all this was not his most heartbreaking moment. That night, his girlfriend left him, leaving him with only a cold "bye-bye". Yes, life is like that, it won't always be smooth sailing.
However, Wood didn't give up. He played in the Summer League, played in the Development League, and even came to the CBA. However, what awaits him is blow after blow.

He scored 20+ points in a row in the second half of the season, and even scored 30 points and 11 rebounds against France's Goebel in the first game against the Jazz. However, after that game, he was infected with the coronavirus by Gobert, becoming the third NBA player to be diagnosed with the coronavirus.
However, after this setback, he did not give up. After he recovered, joy fell from the sky, and the Rockets offered him a three-year, $41 million contract. And Harris, who replaced him in the CBA, has played the Rockets' firefighter many times, but his salary is only $60,000. All of this has changed Wood's world.
He established himself in the NBA and became a sought-after item. Reality TV star Maya Benberry took the initiative to date him, and even always posted pictures of his matches on social media to express her love. And his best friend Janelle is still jealous of him. All this has turned his life upside down.
Now, he has become a player for the Lakers, which is a return to his hometown. He has experienced setbacks in the CBA, but he never gave up, and his persistence and hard work allowed him to finally achieve his dream. His story tells us that success is not achieved overnight, but through continuous hard work and perseverance. He believes that God rewards hard work, and he is the best proof of this.
