Chapter 296
Chapter 295 Surviving a Catastrophe

Louie decided to leave minutes before the end of the game.

He asked Jennifer Beers for her opinion. She didn't care much about the game. Of course she was happy to learn that Louis was going to leave early.

"You have to book my front-row seat at the Chicago Stadium today! You are responsible for me!" Bills said unreasonably, "If something bad happens to me because I didn't follow you all the way, it will be all your responsibility!"

Louis said depressedly: "Is that your wishing tree spirit?"

"It's very spiritual. I once made a wish when I had a cold."

"What wish?"

"I made a wish to recover without taking medicine, and after a few weeks, my cold was back!"

Is it difficult to recover from this cold?
Louis didn't know what to say, and Bills came outside McHale Stadium.

Louis should have presided over the team's training, but he thought that he was not the one to preside over the training. As long as he showed up on time during the game, it would be fine.

So, Louie and Bills decided to pass the time with some cold drinks nearby.

"Do you often leave school to work?" Louis only knew that Bills had unexpectedly become popular as a newcomer in a small-budget movie last year, and he didn't know much about her private life.

"Of course! But I will eventually get a degree." She was very confident.

Although this is their second meeting, neither of them is the kind of person who is not good at chatting. You throw a topic, and I pick up a topic, and the chat starts slowly.

When Louis talked about his work, he emphasized the word satisfaction.

Beers said dumbfoundingly: "You jumped from a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to the Titanic that hit an iceberg, and then said you were satisfied with your job?"

"Did you know that Einstein was once expelled from school because he was suspected of being mentally deficient." Louis said confidently, "but he finally changed the physics world and the future of mankind."

"WOWOWOW~~~"

Bills feigned surprise.

"Did I hear you right, did Coach Lu compare himself to Einstein just now?"

Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Louis to resist the opportunity to pay tribute to Zhuge Liang in a high-profile way: "This is just an ordinary metaphor I made of myself."

"Mr. Einstein knows in heaven and will give you nightmares." Bills said expectantly.

Louis and Bills have gone from being friends who are a little strange to each other to a level where they can hurt each other.

When you and your roommate start doing this, it's a sign that your relationship has reached a whole new level.

Louis saw Benj, who had just shocked him, chasing a black girl in the soda shop.

The black girl didn't seem to want to talk to him.

Her walk is full of "I've had enough of you brat" hints.

Louis got up quickly and said, "Check the bill for me."

"Where are you going?"

As soon as Bills yelled out, Louis left the cold drink shop.

Louie's uncontrollable curiosity for Benj, he wants to know how the man went to ruin.

That's what he thought, so he wanted to follow up and have a look and learn more about him.

Benj loses his girlfriend when he bumps into three gangsters blocking the road.

He originally wanted to catch up with his girlfriend immediately, but the person he hit didn't want to let him go just like that.

"Wait for me!" Bills caught up.

"What's the rush! I'm exhausted, are you trying to get rid of me on purpose, and then see if I'm unlucky?" Bills said a little angrily, "If I'm right, you're dead!"

"Coach Lu? Talk!"

"Shh" Louie pointed to where Benj and a few gangsters were, and they slowly approached.

The gangster who was hit by Benj scolded unhappily: "Are you a nigger with no fucking eyes?"

There were three people on the other side, but Benj was not afraid. He was annoyed and irritable because he lost his girlfriend, so he choked back coldly: "Good dogs don't get in the way!"

"Damn nigga, you better know what the hell you're talking about!"

Louis knew that black people would call each other niggers. If it was called between friends, it would be a bit like "buddy", and if it was someone who was unhappy with each other, it would be similar to "CNM".

"What happened?" Bills asked.

Louie explained what happened.

"What a big deal, I'll take care of it!" Bills patted Louis on the chest, she thought that Louis followed to help Benj make peace.

Seeing this nervous woman come forward, she murmured loudly: "You little brats, don't get stuck at the intersection if you have nothing to do, others will have to pass!"

The black gangster who had a conflict with Benj opened his mouth and cursed: "Stop meddling in here, B**ch!!"

Suddenly, Bills was so angry that he didn't need to perm her head anymore, because her anger was enough to curl her hair.

"Looks like it's been a long time since anyone taught you brats what education is!" Bills shrieked, "Which school are you from!?"

"This matter has nothing to do with her, you better get out of the way for me now!" Benj didn't have the heart to howl here.

"You better fucking talk to me politely!"

After the gangster finished speaking, he acted like he had a gun on him.

This scene scared Louis.

Bills regarded him as a bravado, and boldly moved forward: "Come on, aim at me, hit here! Have you watched too many movies? Go home and stop making trouble!"

Benj even despised the other party with a superior attitude, and sneered: "I bet you dare not shoot!"

WC! ! !

How about playing Yan Shuangying?
As expected, the bastard's face darkened: "Nigger, you are playing with fire!"

"What are you doing with me with a toy gun on your waist? Get out of the way right now, I don't have time to waste time with you!" Benj had no idea that he was pushing himself into a dangerous situation step by step.

The gangster pulled out a pistol: "Nigger, apologize to me immediately!"

"Wait! Calm down, don't."

Bills knew right away that something was wrong.

"I told you you dare not shoot!"

Benj's forward momentum didn't slow down, and Jennifer didn't even have a chance to dissuade her. She and Benj were regarded as one by the other party.

Seeing that his weapon could not deter him, the bloodshot gangster lost his mind and roared: "I'll kill you b**ch first!"

Benj didn't dodge the gun, but even rushed forward step by step to grab the man's gun. Jennifer couldn't dodge the gun. She found that the gangster in front of her was pointing the gun at her, and she screamed in horror.

One second before the gangster pulled the trigger, on the flanks of their dispute, Louis had already sneaked around, and decisively rushed out to knock the man's hand holding the gun away.

With a gunshot, the bullet that was supposed to hit Benj's groin, but almost hit Jennifer, missed by 90 degrees.

Benj, who was held in the hands of teachers, classmates, and teammates at school, never thought that someone would really dare to shoot him.

He knew that if no one jumped out just now, he would be finished.

The power of fear suddenly occupied a part of his body. When he saw the pistol that fell to the ground, he wanted to pick it up.

"Now, the gun is in my hand."

Benj held the gun, ignoring Jennifer who was slumped on the ground.

Louis had already firmly held down the bastard, and his companions immediately dispersed.

The bully yelped in terror, and Benj seemed likely to do something irrational.

"Shoot if you want to, don't scare him." Louie roared, "Come on, hit him on the head, if you keep him, you will surely die!"

Benj hesitated, "What does this have to do with you?"

"What's none of my business? You fucking little bastard better speak with your fucking conscience!" Louie yelled with his knee on the bastard's neck, "I saved your fucking life!"

The gangster screamed desperately and hoarsely: "I can't breathe!!"

"If you want to kill him, do it now." Louis sneered, "If you don't do it, I will let him go."

Benj doesn't want to risk his future for the sake of face. What's more, this very familiar Asian is indeed his savior.

"Let him go."

"you sure?"

"What do you want from me?" Benj asked aggrievedly.

Louie moved his knee away from the bastard's neck, then grabbed his neck with his hands and said fiercely: "This young man is the most talented athlete in Chicago. If you kill him, the gangs in his neighborhood will trouble you and your family. Next time you better think about the consequences before fucking doing something like this!"

The gangster said in horror: "I don't dare anymore."

Louie pushed him forward hard.

However, what awaited him was not freedom, but the approaching police. Benj immediately threw away the pistol and raised his hands like a Frenchman.

That night, Louie missed the Knicks game because he was taken back to the police station.

He should be glad he missed a game where he was sacked for 20 points.

Although he did not appear on the scene of the game, the fact that he and Jennifer Jennifer and the nation's No. [-] high school student Benjamin Wilson were taken to the police station due to an attempted homicide shooting still attracted widespread attention.

The gangster will face multiple charges and Louie, Jennifer and Benj were released that night.

Only then did Benj know that the one who saved his life was the most famous basketball coach in the country.

"Coach Lu, thank you" "Benj" Wilson felt that he was at a loss for words.

Louie hasn't thought about what would happen to Benj without him today.

He seriously advised: "The next time there are hooligans warning you that he has a gun, you'd better believe them. There is nothing these scumbags dare not do. Don't forget that you still have a great future ahead."

"I see."

"I hope you really understand." Louis snorted, "You are lucky today!"

Wilson left with lingering fear.

Behind Louis, Jennifer seemed to have not recovered from the terrifying gunshot.

She followed Louie carefully, avoiding the media.

If it hadn't been for Louie, the bullet would have hit her.

The result was disastrous.

"road"

Louie made the "shh" gesture.

"I don't want to be the bad star that killed you." Louis said with a wry smile, "I advise you to throw away that damn wishing tree, it almost killed you."

Jennifer pretended to be angry and said, "You almost killed me."

"It made you follow me, so although I was the cause of the incident, the root cause is that unlucky wishing tree!"

"It's you!"

"Okay, even if it's me, it's so late, how can I make up for you, how about a promise with my body?"

"Okay!" Jennifer challenged, "if your girlfriend doesn't mind."

"It's hard to say, maybe I should call and ask her opinion!"

Jennifer laughed, and lightly slapped Louis, "You're such a bastard!"

Louie didn't know what he'd done today, he didn't think about where Benj's fate would have gone without him.

He changed the fate of one person and reduced the number of shooting deaths in Chicago this year to one.

As it happens, he is no ordinary person, he was the No. 1984 high school basketball player in the United States in [-].

His future is difficult to predict, only one thing is certain.

Post-Benjamin Wilson Chicago prodigies may have been less prepared for such incidents, since they grew up without a parent telling them that a promising teenager was shot for being overconfident/arrogant.

From this point of view, Kevin Garnett, Anthony Davis, Jabari Parker, and Okafor all have an extra risk.

As for Derrick Rose, it's safe to assume he won't be wearing the No. 25 jersey in this worldline anymore, in homage to Benjamin Wilson.

Good luck to them.

PS: The timeline is flawed.The shooting of Benjamin Wilson happened on November 1984, 11, which was obviously exceeded in the book.This note is to prevent someone from understanding this person's life and finding that there is a problem with the timeline, cherish life, and stay away from bullshit.The world would be a better place for lifting a kilogram less bar.Beep beep.
