Chapter 5 Harsh Requirements

After he was injured that day, Neil never dared to touch basketball again, because he was afraid of being beaten by his father, and his mother also explained that his father was doing it for his own good, and hoped that he would have a better development space and a better development platform in the future. He didn't confront his father, he still listened to him, and didn't touch basketball.

But for a child who is about to turn four years old, there is no one to accompany him, and there is nothing for him to play with. After a long time, it will be somewhat boring and boring.

So, one morning early in the morning, Neil was woken up by his mother as usual, asking him to get up and eat something and go to sell things with her, but after being dressed by her, Neil just walked out of the bedroom and sat on the dining chair Suddenly, I don’t know what came to my mind, I was a little ignorant, I developed a small temper, stood up from the dining chair, and seemed to deliberately challenge the authority of my parents and said loudly: “No, I won’t go today, I want children from the city Same, go read, do what you like."

When he objected, the family was already struggling, and they couldn’t pay him to go to school for the time being, but he suddenly mentioned something he liked. Louis got angry when he heard it, patted the table, and scolded him: “Boy , Your mother and I gave birth to you, is this how you talked to us? Did your wings grow hard, you..."

Nuana was afraid that Louis' speaking loudly would frighten the child, so she hurriedly interrupted and said, "Louis, please don't say a few words."

"Nuana, don't spoil him, I have to teach him how to honor his parents today."

Neil was still a father who was afraid of being harsh, his body trembling, but he still stubbornly stared at Louis and said, "Tell me, whose father is as cruel to his children as you are."

"Okay, you say I'm fierce, right?"

"Yes, you are fierce. I do something I like, and I am the same as my peers. Is it wrong?" Neil continued to fight against his father endlessly.

At this time, the slums were filled with the noisy noise of their father and son, and the sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking seemed so vulnerable.

His father eased his emotions, first lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head, looked at Neil and apologized: "Son, I'm sorry, dad doesn't want to deprive you of things you like, deprive you of dreams, dad also wants to Let you be the same as your peers, have your own hobbies, your favorite toys, and your own ideas, but you really can’t play now, I’m afraid you won’t be able to come back once you play, you know you wear No. 23 Jordan in the jersey, the reason why he can become the core of the Chicago Bulls is not only because of his skills, but also his height, his jumping, his strong body, and his basketball IQ when he is playing. So you have such a dream That's right, but you have to have a plan for when to do something and when not to do it."

After hearing his father's earnest words, Neil also felt that it made sense. Although he couldn't understand, he could feel that his father was really doing it for his own good, not harming him, so he nodded and said, "Dad, sorry!"

"It's okay, I asked you so harshly that day, if I were your age, I would still quarrel with your grandfather." His father smiled, patted his little head and said.

"By the way, Dad, I saw the man wearing the No. 23 jersey you just mentioned on TV the day I hurt my hand. He has dark skin like me. I think he is so handsome. I want to be like him in the future." handsome."

Nuana was listening to the ups and downs of their father and son's conversation. She was angry and worried at the moment, but now she had a smile on her face.

No one knows why this kid Neil suddenly sang such a song today, and the question he asked was also unimaginable. After looking at Nuana and Louis and giggling for a while, he suddenly stared at his father and asked, "Dad, tell me, what do I want?" How to plan yourself is the most reasonable?"

Louis was stunned for a moment when he heard this question, looked straight at Nuana, and then said with a smile: "Son, I'm the one who asked this question, I don't know how to answer you, because Dad is still not sure what you like? "

Without thinking, Neil replied with a casual smile: "Dad, I really want to touch, play and play basketball when I see it."

"Oh... boy, so you really like basketball?" Louis noticed his expression when he answered, he didn't seem to be lying, so he patted his little head and looked at him and Nuana and said with a smile.

"Yes, Dad, don't you think I'm kidding?"

"Okay, then remember what Dad told you today."

Neil quickly looked at his mother, and then nodded in response.

"Son, remember, first you find a basketball superstar you like, then watch their videos and learn their movements. If you can also have your own original stunts based on them, that would be great. Then, You also have to remember that you are too young now, you are easy to get angry, and you are easy to get hurt like this, so this is why I don’t give basketball for the time being, because you are too competitive when you see your opponent, and you will inevitably be a little impetuous. , After a while, I will buy you a game console about basketball mobile games. You learn the moves of your favorite superstars on the video screen and mobile games, and then watch them over and over until you have watched them hundreds of times. You can touch the ball."

The rest of Neil didn't listen to it, and just listened to the last sentence, "You can't touch the ball until you have seen it hundreds of times." He had a strange look on his face, his eyes were dull, and he said in a funny tone: " Why? Then I have to watch and play until the year of the monkey, maybe I will be older than you by that day."

"You're not done yet."

"Ah... what else?"

"Of course, you thought it would be that easy to complete a belt of superstars?"

"Anyway, I thought it would be easy to like it."

Nuana looked at him, touched his still silly little head, put her middle finger upright in front of her mouth, and made a sound of "Shhhhh...", signaling him to be patient and listen to what his father had to say.

Neil also seemed to understand what his mother meant, so he didn't make a sound, but listened patiently.

"Boy, I just said a little bit about basketball skills, and you found it difficult. Then you should stop liking basketball."

Hearing that his father was about to object to him again, he hurriedly and confidently said loudly: "No, I will like it."

"Okay, remember well, starting tomorrow, I will run two kilometers with you every day, and then I will do [-] sit-ups and [-] squats, and lift weights [-] times."

Listening to you, Neil was frightened by his father's request. He quickly turned his head to Nuana and asked, "Mom, will my father torture me like this? Will I die?"

"Silly boy, let me ask you a question, will your father die?"

"Of course he won't, because he's an adult and I'm a child."

"A grown-up is not transformed from a child. He is fine, and you must be fine." Nuana patted him on the shoulder to encourage and comfort him.

"Okay, Mom, I believe you, but I don't know whether I should trust this hard-hearted father." Neil pouted, looked at Nuana and answered with a smile.

"Don't talk about your father like that. He treats you so harshly, but it's also good for you. If you don't build a solid foundation from an early age, you will be bullied in the future." Before Neil finished speaking, Nuana hurriedly reached out to block his small mouth. Mouth said.

Neil nodded.

After a few seconds, Louis continued: "Boy, the last request this morning, are you still listening?"

Neil stared straight at Louis with a curious expression on his face, then nodded.

"Then listen carefully. The last request is that if your mother and I send you to school, you will not only continue to repeat the request I mentioned above every day, but also not miss your homework. Did you hear me?"

"Ah... Dad, isn't that killing me?" Little Neil suddenly felt a little stressed, sobbing with a teary face.

"If you can't do what I told you, I advise you to give up basketball."

When his strict father asked him to give up basketball, his fighting spirit was inflated again, and he quickly retorted: "No, it's no way for me to give up basketball."

"Then you should be ready to meet the next challenges one after another."

"Okay, Dad, I'll do my best."

Louis and Nuana were very relieved to hear Neil's answer, because he would not give up basketball because of such a harsh requirement, so it would only depend on his luck.
