you are all star

Chapter 29

Neil persuaded his parents, started a new life at Wentz Elementary School, continued to advance in the name of basketball, and pursued his dreams.

The hour hand turns every minute and every second, and the days go by day by day. Although Neil lost 3-0 to Reddy not long ago, he was not annoyed by it, nor was he dejected and gave up on himself because of it. Instead, he believed that as long as Work hard, even if you suffer a small injury, you can end your opponent, and no matter how noisy the outsiders are, they will not be able to disturb him.

Because after the game, Louis told him that if he can't adapt to such an environment, he can't go all out in this environment, and advised him to give up his basketball dream early, and it's better not to like basketball. After all, basketball is not just about defeating the opponent. Individuals are not only showing to the other party, but more importantly, showing to more people, which also constitutes a part of basketball, and precisely, attracting outsiders and fans is far more skilled than oneself The ball skills are much more important, which can make a basketball player go farther and go higher.

Louis also saw from Neil's failure that the biggest difference between Neil and Reddy was that he was fearless in front of many people and was full of great courage. Growing up in a slum, he had never seen much of the world, so he was a little nervous and a little scared when he saw strangers, which affected his performance. Amidst the many screams and cheers, he lost all confidence and courage.

From that day on, whenever Louis thinks about this incident, he feels very guilty and blamed himself. He feels that he is sorry for Neil, that he didn't know he was injured, and that Reddy tricked him badly, and he can't do anything about it.

Louis was particularly afraid that because Neil lost to Reddy amidst the screams and cheers this time, if he encountered this situation again in the future, he would be depressed, unable to exert his strength, and fearful.

So, from that day onwards, Louis came up with the idea that whenever Neal made shots and practiced, a lot of people would chatter, laugh, scream, and interfere with his every shot.

One afternoon a month later, Louis picked nine players who were not bad at the school to form a team with him. Among them, Louis asked him to lead four of them to fight against the other four led by Reddy. be full.

The game was about to start, and the entrance ceremony was going on, but because Neil lost to Reddy a month ago, many people looked down on him and shouted Reddy's name: "Reddy, Reddy... Neil, that nigger, just look for teeth everywhere!"

Looking at the crowded crowd, Reddy pursed his lips and smiled at them in relief, and then nodded confidently to the teachers and classmates surrounding him.

Neil glanced at Reddy from the corner of his eye, and then glanced at his worried but trusting father, some male and female classmates and teachers.

At the start of the game, players from both sides hugged each other under the command of the referee.

Neil and Reddy faced each other, and the two embraced each other. Reddy knew everything before the game. Before Neil took the initiative to hug, he took the initiative to hug Neil in front of everyone. , but his actions seemed to be deliberately shown to the audience. When he leaned his head and body towards Neil's right shoulder, he whispered into Neil's ear: "Neil, if I can defeat you once, I can defeat you miserably. You N times, as an opponent, I hope you will not be as vulnerable as a month ago."

Neil didn't spread his arms around Reddy and pat him on the shoulder, but heard Reddy say such words in his right ear, and he smiled in Reddy's ear, and whispered back: "Reddy , I still say what you said, if I can kill you once, I can kill you N times, just don't play dirty tricks."

"Hehe... Do I still need to play tricks on you?"

"This issue will be resolved in the game."

Reddy was still arguing with Neil, but the referee's whistle blew, and then pointed to the half-court circle, meaning a jump ball at the half-court circle for possession.

Neil and Reddy came to the center circle and faced each other, facing each other's backboard, the court, and the two of them stared straight at the referee's hand about to throw the ball over them.

At this time, the emotions of the spectators were also high, and they couldn't wait any longer. The spectators behind stood on tiptoes to see who would win the scrum. They were silent and waited and saw.

The moment the referee threw the ball into the air, the stadium changed from the silence just now to full of voices, screams and cheers. Because there were very few people who supported Neil, but many people supported Reddy, The voices shouting Reddy far outweighed the voices shouting Neil.

Neilton was immediately eroded by these unbearable voices. When Reddy had already started to jump for the ball, Neil still shot a pleading look at the shouting and screaming Reddy fans.

But Reddy's fans didn't appreciate it, but called Reddy's name even louder.

Seeing this scene, Neil had no choice but to grit his teeth and fight bravely.

When he came back to his senses, Reddy had already jumped the ball into the hands of his own players.

Neil rushed to catch up and steal it, but at this moment, he was already invaded by all kinds of screams and cheers supporting Reddy, and his attention was all on these sounds, and he had no intention of fighting at all.

When Louis saw this situation, he knew that he had lost himself again, so he shouted at him: "Boy, don't think about anything now, just treat them as air."

But Louis found that what he said to Neil was drowned out by the surrounding voices, and it couldn't reach Neil's ears at all. Once the game started, non-players were not allowed to enter the field, and he also knew that he was fidgeting on the sidelines. Watching Neil's next move.

Neil, who was baffled by the screams and cheers, still seemed to care about the game. While chasing Reddy who was dribbling and breaking through, he glanced at his teammates: "Hurry up and help defend..."

But none of the teammates had ever participated in this kind of game. They were nervous when they saw so many spectators, and they all looked at where the ball was, and chased it wherever they went, without any attacking rhythm.

Reddy made a one-stop dribble breakthrough and easily scored a goal, scoring 2 points for the team.

After Reddy scored the first goal for the team easily and without interference, the people in the audience who supported him before became even more crazy, laughing and screaming one by one.

And those who supported Neil, except his father, saw that Neil and his teammates had no cooperation, no organization, and no offensive rhythm. If this continued, it would be more difficult for them to win, so they encouraged each other : "This boy Neil is really a rotten tree. With his level and organizational ability, it is more difficult to win than to reach the sky. Look at Reddy, he can kill him instantly in every aspect."

Louis was listening to them talking about Neil in this way, staring at Neil running around on the court, praying silently in his heart: "Boy, you must pass this level, if you can't pass this level, your so-called Basketball dream, I’m really worried for you, you can’t pass this level, even if you have the best basketball skills, it’s still equal to zero, kid, come on, you’re still young, I have confidence in you, and I’ll try to make you more adaptable to this environmental."

When Louis pondered for a while and came back to his senses, the score had reached 6:0.

At this time, Louis was afraid to watch, and was beaten 6:0 at the beginning.

Neil took the ball from his teammate, and while dribbling the ball, he looked at the backboard with his eyes. Nervous, he silently begged in his heart: "Please, God, even if I lose, let me score a goal!"

He had just finished praying, and glanced at his father out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that his father lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to watch him play anymore, he took a deep breath and reminded himself silently: "Neil, in order not to let Dad is desperate, I have to fight."

At this moment, Reddy saw that Neil was speeding up the dribble and tried to steal it, but the smart Neil nimbly passed the ball through his crotch, and he passed from the other side, picked up the ball Fadeback jump shot, the ball went in.

But there was no applause. When the screams and cheers stopped abruptly, Louis thought that something had happened, so he quickly looked up and saw that the score had come to 6:2.

Applause immediately applauded for them.

They played this game for 12 minutes. Because too much time wasted before, after Neil scored a goal, the time was only 24 seconds before the end of the game. Reddy humiliated Neal again, but Neil Still relying on the last attack, he scored a goal and rewritten the 6:0 situation.

The last attack organized by Reddy failed to score, and the final score was 6:2. Neil once again lost to Neil, and at the same time lost to Reddy again.
