Chapter 52 52. The Charm of Basketball

Lin Feng thinks that Billy is a good kid, and his basic dribbling skills are very good, and it is said that he taught himself all by relying on online videos.

I'm afraid that Lin Feng will only come to the orphanage once in his life, and he intends to teach him some practical things to inspire little Billy's love for basketball.

From the eyes of the child, he saw something different. His love for basketball cannot be concealed, just like the little Gary who was lying outside the barbed wire fence of the Rock Park Street Stadium back then.

"You have to keep an eye on my footsteps and predict my next move."

Lin Feng faced little Billy face to face. Although he is not a competent coach, he should have no problem teaching children.

After a while, Caruso also came to the yard and played with another group of children with a basketball.

These children need love and need to know the outside world.

Being around basketball players they only see on TV will keep them excited for a long time.

The one-on-one between Lin Feng and Billy aroused Leanna's interest in basketball. She was eager to try on the sidelines, and Lin Feng could see her intentions.

He smiled and said to her, "Try?"

Then he threw the basketball at Lyanna, but she didn't expect her to catch it smoothly. She thought she would dodge the flying basketball like ordinary girls, or simply couldn't hold it.

Lyanna took a few shots of the basketball, and although she looked amateurish, she looked especially cute.

For Hanleina outside the door, shooting basketball means stretching out the palm of the hand, and going up and down like a table tennis racket, instead of using the grip strength of fingers to shoot basketball.

The result of this is that the palms are quickly covered with dust.

"Billy, play with sister Lyanna for a while."

Lin Feng jumped a few times on the spot, under the sun, on the court, he wanted to release the strength in his body.

"Hey buddy!"

He pointed to the sky, and Caruso understood and tossed the ball into the air.

Lin Feng took a few steps to run up and jumped high, dunking the ball into the basket with one hand.

There was a feeling that the whole yard was shaking, and the children cheered, extremely excited.

"Cool." Lyanna couldn't help clapping her hands, "Is this the charm of basketball?"

"So-so." Lin Feng smiled slightly, "I forgot to introduce you, this is my teammate Alex Caruso, a guy with very strong physical fitness, who once dunked Durant."

At first Caruso just stood there smiling with his hands on his hips, but when he heard Durant being dunked, he couldn't listen anymore.

"No, no, Gary, I didn't do that, and I didn't even get a chance to play with Durant."

Caruso is a very humble person, he will not accept some exaggerated praise.

Lin Feng reflected, patted his forehead, and said with a smile: "That happened half a year later, I'm a bit schizophrenic."

In fact, according to the development of the previous world, Caruso did complete the feat of dunking Durant in the game between the Lakers and the Warriors.

It was an offensive rebound at the time, and Caruso jumped up in front of Durant and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands, shocking everyone.

Today, Lin Feng has to study the spring man in front of him carefully. At 196 cm, he is actually one of the top five bouncers in the Lakers team.

Normally, a bald and skinny white man would not be too jumpy in the subjective impression of fans, and the result was unexpected.

The famous Lakers Mr. Kuzma once said that people think Caruso is bald and can't jump, but he bounces the top five in the team, that's it.

Billy wanted to imitate Lin Feng's dunk just now, but his height still needs a few years, and he can't even touch the rebound for the time being.

In addition to more than two dozen orphans, the orphanage also housed homeless vagabonds and poor people who were sick and could not get medical treatment.

That's fine for the homeless because they're healthy and just need a place to live.

The pity is for those patients. Some of them have incurable diseases, no medical insurance or pension, and they can only wait for social assistance or death in orphanages.

A considerable number of people in the United States do not have medical insurance. Some of these people are refugees, some are illegal immigrants, and they are all under the shadow of the prosperous society.

Long ago, when Lin Feng first entered the orphanage, he saw a woman from Haiti. She had a strange disease, and the cost of treatment was beyond her reach. She had to go to a nearby church to pray every day to ask God Blessing.

It's cruel, and it's another taste compared to the cruelty on the basketball court.

Lin Feng is just a small person, he hopes that the world will be free from pain and troubles, but after all, he is just a person who is too small to be small.

When it was lunch time, Lin Feng followed the crowd to the big cafeteria.

It was not easy for the reporters who followed the film. They walked around under the scorching sun with their cameras on their shoulders, in order to write an article calling on the society to pay attention to special groups of people tonight.

Billy Jr. was a shy kid. Although he was active on the court, he seemed like a different person off the court.

Eating silently and drinking water silently is completely different from the lively children around.

Lyanna told him that Billy Jr. was mildly autistic.

"I also heard from other volunteers that Little Billy will only be very active when he is on the basketball court."

Lyanna paid the same attention, because he was the most special one.

Normally, orphans in orphanages would be adopted by well-meaning people before they were ten years old, but Billy was already 12 years old, and no family was willing to accept him because of his personality.

"Poor boy, perhaps such a personality is prone to genius, and he is indeed very talented in playing basketball."

Lin Feng said meaningfully.

There are also many players in the NBA who suffer from various mental illnesses, such as the depression of DeRozan and Love, which is well known by fans.

It must be mentioned that Charlie Villanueva, who is also from Queens, New York, suffers from severe generalized alopecia. At first, his eyebrows began to fall off, and then his hair and eyelashes began to fall off until he lost a single hair. left.

This congenital condition made Villanueva sad, but excited his little friends, who took pleasure in making fun of Villanueva and gave him many ugly and insulting nicknames.As a result, Villanueva suffered heavy psychological pressure and suffered from autism.It wasn't until he hit the basketball court that he began to rediscover the joys in life.

Little Billy is in a better situation than Villanueva, at least he won't lose all his hair.

Different people have different destinies and different lives.

Lin Feng hoped that little Billy would be lucky in his future life, and maybe he would become a basketball star one day.

Ten years ago, who would have known that skinny Gary Smith could be a member of the league.

There is a charity game waiting for him in the afternoon, and the 40-year-old Marion will return to the court.Looking forward to how much energy this veteran who once partnered with Nash will burst out.
