Chapter 38 Imitating Jordan's Pass
Tofu and his friends all fled after defeat. Neil also practiced for a while. He felt that he was alone, not even a picker, and he was sweating profusely when he shot the ball. He was so tired that he couldn't breathe. I had to run to pick up the ball that rolled far away. I was so bored and hungry, so I went home with my beloved basketball.

When he got home, his parents didn't come back, so he took the fruit by himself, washed it, and ate it while heating up the leftovers.

After eating, he turned on the TV and ordered it to the sports channel. To his surprise, today there was a replay of the Bulls led by his idol Michael Jordan. I fell asleep when I wanted to fall to the ground, but seeing my idol's match right now, naturally I didn't feel sleepy at all.

He stared intently at No. 23 moving and running with the ball on the field. When Neil saw that Jordan was double-teamed by three people, he felt a little nervous. He folded his hands and prayed for him, thinking that his ball would be intercepted, but he could not. Pass the ball to his teammates, but Jordan, who has super high ball skills and basketball IQ, still uses his stunt to face three double-teaming opponents with his back. When playing the ball, he waved his arm with his left hand to prevent the opponent from taking the ball, but the coach was nervous on the sidelines, walking back and forth, waving his hands, signaling the players on the field to disperse, to move, not to stand, and to give Jordan a pick and roll.

Just when Jordan was stuck in a dilemma by his opponent, he dribbled the ball with his feeling, and talked to his teammates with gestures and eyes. At this time, his center understood what he meant, and he continued to lower his center of gravity. The opponent's three pairs of balls were drawn, and he was also staring at the ball in his hand, not at his teammates. He turned his head and glanced at the time from the corner of his eye. There were only 24 seconds left in the 2-second offensive round, but at this time, the outside line kept standing and receiving the ball. The teammate who shot the ball saw that the situation was not good, so he took advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness and quickly stepped down. Jordan caught a glimpse of his teammate flashing into the penalty area like lightning. He turned his back to the opponent and threw the ball behind him. After seeing the ball he threw up, his teammates leaped high and dunked the ball with both hands.

Before his teammates had their feet on the ground, the substitute players and the audience all stood up, applauding for them and shouting: "MVP, MVP..."

Neil also applauded along with them. He was stunned and couldn't help sighing: "This ball is really amazing. How did he judge that his teammates penetrated into the penalty area?"

Neil continued to look down, because Jordan led his teammates to score in this way, the opposing coach did not dare to let his players double-team Jordan, so he had to change tactics, single defense and auxiliary defense, but due to Jordan's skills It’s great, the hand feels great, defending him alone, he plays back singles, stray steps, and butterfly piercing steps at his fingertips, hitting opponents everywhere. At the end of the third quarter, the Bulls have already led by a big score of 78:60 , As soon as the fourth quarter came up, both sides led the team with a single core, and Jordan took a rest.

In fact, Neil has been immersed in Jordan's incredible assist and goal just now. Now that his idol is finally off the court, he can also practice the pass just now.

So, Neil jumped off the sofa, put on his shoes, turned off the TV with a click, hugged the ball, closed the door and went downstairs to the courtyard.

He stood at the stairs for a while, carefully replaying the scene in his mind at that time. The three blocked his attacking route. He was struggling. When he was desperate, his teammates penetrated into the penalty area, and he threw the ball decisively. To the teammate, the teammate jumped up just in time to catch the ball.

After thinking about it in his heart, he was entangled in how he should complete this experiment?
Confused in his thoughts, he scratched his head and asked himself over and over again, how can he demonstrate that pass?

He thought about it for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had a solution, his face was filled with a smile again, and he said to himself: "Yeah, why am I so stupid, as for the three guarding No. Assuming it comes out, the most important thing is that the ball goes right into the hands of the teammate."

Suddenly, he had an idea, and he had an idea in his mind. Next, he had to find a simulated object to be Jordan's teammate.

He looked around the corners of the courtyard dam, and there happened to be a trash can. He dragged the garbage in the trash can to it, and then put the empty trash can in the middle of the courtyard dam. Then assuming that there are opponents marking him behind him and on the left and right sides, his best pass path can only pass the ball over the head of the person behind him, and the ball should just pass into the trash can.

Neil made the same posture as Jordan, dribbling the ball on the ground, thinking that time is running out, and the opponent is about to take out the ball. If he doesn't pass the ball right now, it may be too late.

So Neil threw the ball over his head like Jordan, and the ball hit the ground and missed.

Neil picked up the ball and kept trying again and again, but it always failed.

He was a little desperate, kneeling on the ground with both feet, beating the ground hard, asking himself over and over again: "Why? Could it be that idols can do it, but I can't?"

He squatted on the ground and was depressed for a while, and then mustered up the courage to continue throwing his back to the trash can, but he still threw it on the ground around the trash can, and he couldn't throw it in.

Neil wanted to give up, but at this time, a tall and thin middle-aged man in his 40s or [-]s who had been watching quietly for a long time, stared at Neil and said, "Boy, are you going to make a living?" Throwing the ball with its back to the trash can?"

Neil quickly turned his head to look at him and said, "That's right, uncle!"

"In this case, you didn't play like this."

"Then what's your knock?"

"Of course, to play this kind of game, you'd better close your eyes tightly, and then try to find the location of the trash can with your own feeling."

"Uncle, what do you mean is to calmly feel its location and listen to your heart? When your heart thinks it's there, then act decisively?"

The middle-aged man saw that he was broken at one point, smiled at him, and nodded: "Well, try again."

Neil nodded at him dubiously, then picked up the ball again, returned to the spot, closed his eyes tightly, and tried his best to perceive with his heart where he put the trash can before.

His heart told him that the trash can was there, and Neil decisively threw the ball in the same posture and action as Jordan saw on TV before.

The middle-aged man saw the ball passing in front of him. The ball and the trash can were completely in a straight line, but the ball drew a beautiful arc bridge in the air. He stared at Neil's back and smiled.

After the ball flew over Neil for a while, he only heard a thud, and Neil knew the ball had scored, so he quickly opened his eyes and looked back.

The middle-aged man saw that he turned around with a happy and satisfied smile on his face, and reminded Neil with a smile: "Boy, he is indeed the son of Louis. He has a basketball talent in his bones, and he scored a goal."

"Thank you, Uncle!"

"You don't need to thank me. I just saw you were confused, so I called you casually. I didn't expect you to be so smart."

When the middle-aged man praised Neil like this, Neil scratched his head with a smirk, embarrassed, and said modestly: "Uncle, I'm actually very stupid."

"Boy, you are not stupid, but you have never played this kind of game before, so you naturally have no experience. After this time, you will remember it in the future. In fact, I have been watching you for a long time. It's just that you haven't paid attention to it, just playing games, and the reason why I didn't tell you earlier is to let you know that any success is not easy, your hard work, but sometimes the skills are wrong, you can't do it no matter how hard you try Progress, but your strong will and not admitting defeat, not giving up, standing up when you are defeated, gritting your teeth and moving forward, I admire you very much."

"Yeah, thank you! I will remember everything you said today."

The middle-aged man nodded and smiled, and went back to his room.

Neil also happily picked up the basketball from the trash can, put the trash can back where it was, and went back to the house happily.
