you are all star

Neil's Trick in Chapter 36

Although his mother persuaded Neil, and Neil didn't think about it for the time being, he still thought about it from time to time, and still thought worriedly from time to time: "No, I can't just fake vacation like this, I have to find something to do. You can’t just wait for the opportunity to come to me, but what should I do, or how should I do it?”

It may be because I care too much about my future, whenever I think about not getting a place in middle school, I will worry for a long time.

He watched his father and mother go out early and return late every day, and every day seemed to return to the past, dragging his body back home exhausted, although he was still happy to see Neil, but the occasional sighs and sighs of his parents were reflected in his voice. In his heart, whenever he thought of this voice, Neil's heart still ached as if he had been stabbed by something.

When Neil saw all this, he suddenly thought of making money again, but he thought of playing streetball in his heart, so he wondered if his parents would agree.

He struggled like this for nearly a week. Early this morning, his parents went out very early, pushing a large cart of daily necessities. Although they were tired, they were still talking and laughing.

In his half-asleep subconscious mind, Neil heard the sound of heavy wheels rolling over, his parents talking and laughing, and the neighbor's dog barking downstairs.

It was so blurry, yet so clear, the familiar scene and the familiar voice made Neil tear up his eyes and woke up from the nightmare, because he could hear such voice very early every day, and Neil had already formed a physiological inertia, At this time, he would wake up, jump out of bed immediately, and run to the window sill to look around until his parents disappeared around the corner of the road, and he had to climb into bed to sleep.

But this morning, after Neil woke up and looked around the windowsill for a while, he didn’t jump on the bed and continue to sleep with a lot of worries. Instead, he clasped his hands and whispered to himself: “Since playing streetball is not If I dare to tell my parents, then I will act quietly. Why do I care so much? As long as it can make money and relieve the burden on my parents, when playing, try to be careful not to hurt myself. I don’t think they will blame it. , Maybe it can increase the popularity, and it may not necessarily meet a certain basketball star."

Thinking of this, Neil smiled and praised himself: "Hee hee... I'm so smart!" After finishing speaking, he made an OK gesture, put on a sportswear, and ran out with a basketball.

He came to the dilapidated stadium where he played six or seven years ago. He looked at the rusted backboard brackets and the backboards that had rotted into rotten wood, which had been exposed to the sun and rain. , Six or seven years have passed in a blink of an eye, the old stadium is still the old stadium, but the backboard brackets and backboards that were once worn out, but not too old, are now old, about to fall, and almost unable to stand. You can also watch my father dunk here, but now I can’t support the heavy gravity anymore, so I can only shoot and practice.”

"Don't worry, I scored my first goal here, and I was given the opportunity to enter the school for the first time. So, if one day I am really like the dream I dreamed of when I was three years old If you become basketball stars like you did, I will definitely pay you to renew your skins to make you look brand new."

Neil talked to himself here, sighed softly for a while, reminded himself and urged himself for a while, took the ball and tried to shoot, the basket was hit by the ball creaking and shaking violently, but fortunately there was The basket has a circle, as long as there is a basket and a circle, the ball can be scored, and there is a chance to win and make money. Neal also believes that as long as the basket is not removed, it should not die young, and the shot should still not fall.So, Neil took a piece of cardboard he picked up from the road, and wrote this paragraph on it: "Although I don't play very well, I am a bit lonely and want to lose. I am here to challenge. If I lose, I will Give you five cents, if you lose, give me five cents, no matter if you play well or not, you can come to challenge, I also play so-so, you may also win a stick for yourself Sugar money."

After he finished writing, he put the cardboard upright, leaned against the backboard bracket, and started warm-up training.

After about an hour of warm-up training, a few friends who were two or three years younger than him came to the court.

They saw a boy with a height of about 1 meters there dribbling and shooting the basket alone, but his back was always facing him, but the cardboard leaning on the backboard bracket was so conspicuous, one of the boys was blind Very good, I saw the above passage clearly from a distance of several feet, and read it in the ears of the other five partners. The one holding the ball may be their boss. After hearing this passage, I looked at Gu Ni again. Er Zuo missed one shot, and another shot missed, so he laughed loudly and said, "You still want to win at your level, and win money? If you want to lose to Dugu, you can do it!"

In fact, Neil had already heard their footsteps a long time ago, and the boy who read the words on the cardboard had a moderate voice, and Neil could already hear them clearly, so he deliberately pretended to throw one and throw one.

Neil didn't answer aloud, but continued to cast silently, still throwing one, and throwing one. The kid was a little crazy, and as he walked over, he yelled at Neil and said, "I'm asking you something, are you dumb?"

Neil just glanced back at them, they also saw Neil clearly, and Neil also saw them clearly.

There are many times, this world is so strange, even if the environment is small, you can never meet before, when you meet for the first time, you don’t know me, I don’t know you, it’s like Neil and these few partners Even though they all lived in the slums, Neil went to Wentz Primary School when he was five years old. After that, he seldom came to the slum courts to play, so several partners never met him. If they had met Neil before Having played ball, at this moment, they must have regretted challenging Neil.

Neil glanced at them, and continued to pretend that his hand shape was wrong, shooting one and throwing one, but at this time, the smart Neil had already started planning in his heart, playing tricks, since they seemed to have never seen me before, Then today I deliberately win half and lose half, not making money. I just wait for you to publicize my loss everywhere, spread it everywhere, and attract more partners, so that I can make more money.

The boss holding the ball saw that Neil was so ungrateful, and he didn't pay attention to the six of them, so he yelled at Neil: "Where did you come from, you dare to be so arrogant in the slum court? Didn’t you hear me asking you? Don’t you want to hang around in the slums? With your little skill, don’t be ashamed of yourself here. Go away. I’ll be annoyed when I see you. I don’t want to win money from people like you. , lest others say that I am invincible.”

Seeing his arrogance, Neil degraded himself even more, pretending to be pitiful and responding: "Brother, you will fulfill me. The reason why I challenged you here is because I want to have a big bang!" Candy, I grew up so big, I have never eaten a lollipop."

"But with your little skill, you can't beat one of us at all, so you won't lose more money to buy lollipops?"

"But what if I'm lucky, and I vote for one?"

"But we've been here for so long, and you haven't scored a single goal."

Sometimes people who travel along the way have a little less ambition and desire, while others are ambitious and always want to take advantage of others to satisfy their own desires.

The boss who was holding the ball thought so, but his partners encouraged them from the sidelines, fueling their boss's desire and saying: "Boss, we think that since this kid is so ignorant, we should teach him a lesson, so as to spread the boss's message." Prestige makes you undefeated in the West."

"You know what a fart, what if this kid loses and can't get the money? Didn't you hear? He said that he has grown up so much that he has never eaten a lollipop. If he has money, he won't buy it. ?”

"That's right, why not, let's ask him."

"Ask, if he has money, we will fight him."

After hearing what the boss said, they hurriedly asked loudly: "By the way, you want to challenge us, do you have money?"

Neil has no money, but in order to trick them, he lied to the situation: "Of course I have money, but if we stand 3:3, it's not like the three of you are going to give me $1.5, and I just happen to be Your $1.5 goes to three of you who win."

"But what if you can't win alone?"

"Then I'll just give you money, but if I'm lucky, it'll just be a draw."

"But you are rich, why haven't you even eaten a lollipop?"

"This is because my parents said that eating too many lollipops can easily cause tooth decay, so I didn't buy them."

"Is such that?"

"Of course! Are you afraid of losing and dare not challenge?"

The boss, who was standing aside with the ball in his arms, was a little annoyed, and interrupted the conversation between Neil and his partner: "Who is afraid of whom? Kid, you are dead!"

"It's not certain who will die. What if I'm really lucky? I'll only find out after the battle. You can't talk like this."

"Okay, you have a seed, I wish you good luck!"

"Okay, thanks, you guys need to warm up?"

"For you, no need."

Neil was a little worried when he heard that this kid was so arrogant. After all, he didn't know them well, he had never seen them play, and he didn't know how to play squares. He had to be careful, but Neil still had confidence in himself, and he won 3 : 3 draws, it is still possible, but Neil still humbly said with a playful smile: "But brother, I really don't know how to play, I hope you will give way."

"It's easy to say..."

Although he answered Neil like this in his mouth, in fact, he wanted to torture Neil into a dog in his heart.
