you are all star

Chapter 62

Neil carried Lavender's kind words of reminder in his mind, and he also felt that what others did had little to do with him. He just needed to play his role well, make full use of every ball passed by his teammates, and try to make the most of it. Making or getting assists, and reducing mistakes in every attack, this is what should be considered, but to do this, it is necessary to work hard for it, and other personal grievances that have nothing to do with the game should be left behind, since If you can play together, you are teammates, and you should get along with each other in a friendly way, instead of treating others with selfishness towards yourself, and yourself treating them with selfishness, which is not conducive to the overall situation.

While reflecting on himself in his mind, he walked towards the library, and before he knew it, the magnificent gymnasium appeared in his sight.

Looking at this gymnasium, Neil thought of the Slum Court again, and before he came to Edward Middle School, he made a promise that one day he would replace the Slum Court with a new one and put him in new clothes. Put on an umbrella, so that it can be full of people coming and going, every day people go there to play, and there is laughter everywhere, instead of the dead silence and desolation everywhere.

But for me, no matter how dead and bleak there is, my dream is to start there, because it gives me many important and indispensable things in my life, such as the first goal, the first failure, The first time I chose to make money because I gave up my dream, but I was abused by Peel, and there were many sweats on that court every time my father made strict demands on me.

This series has enabled me to study in such a good school and play in such a magnificent gymnasium. Therefore, if one day I really make money and succeed, I must fulfill my promise for the slum court and let people play there every day. , has always been bustling and bustling, it won't be like it is now, when I leave, there will be silence there.But to realize this promise, what I do now is to train every movement repeatedly and shoot again and again. Only then will I be closer to my dream, closer to the agreement between me and that slum court...

When he thought of this, he was interrupted by a familiar voice from a Wolves teammate: "Neil, you are staring blankly at the gymnasium, what are you thinking about? So fascinated!"

Neil suddenly came back to his senses. He clearly remembered that when he was a child, his father said that dreams should be told to the stars, and people will laugh at them, thus hindering the realization of dreams. Hesitantly, he shook his head decisively in response to the teammate: "Nothing."

The teammate saw that he didn't want to tell the truth, and didn't ask anything, but suddenly remembered that when the teacher gathered all the team members to discuss about the Welcome Cup, Neil was not there. The teacher told him that if anyone sees Neil, tell them He said, and his teammate didn't know if anyone had told him, so he tentatively asked: "By the way, Neil, the teacher gathered the team members to discuss about this Welcome Cup competition before, do you know?"

"I don't know, what did he say?"

"He said, because this game is very important to the Wolves, they must win, but at present, only your skills can compete with the elites of other schools, but we other players, because we only know how to play, But he doesn't know how to play, and he hasn't participated in any serious games. He firmly believes that once we play, we will be nervous and chaotic, which will affect the final ranking. Therefore, two foreign players are invited to start. One is Peel, a Reddy who helped the school win the championship at Wentz Elementary School. He said that the two players are both first-rate players. Unexpectedly, if you can join our Wolves team, then our Wolves team will be an invincible team in middle school and will win the championship in one fell swoop. He also said that none of us is allowed to leak the news that we have invited foreign aid, otherwise we will be severely punished."

Neil fell into reverie after listening to the team members' report. As Lavender said, for the championship and victory, these capitalists can think of anything and do it. If this is the case, then Lavender is right , if I withdraw from the game this time because of the grievances between me and Peel and Reddy, it is very likely that I will be expelled from the Wolves, and once I am expelled from the school team, the school will also give corresponding Therefore, I should be smarter, wait and see what happens, endure as much as I can, put aside personal grievances if I can temporarily put them down, and don't fight hard with the teacher.

So, Neil nodded and replied, "Thank you, I see."

"Nanir, let's go in and practice!"

Neil nodded and walked into the gymnasium.

When the teammates saw Neal coming, they hurriedly passed the ball that they hadn't shot to Neal: "Neil, give everyone a standard fadeaway three-pointer."

Neil looked at the flaming ball that was flying towards him. He sprinted over and stretched out his hands to catch it steadily. One meter away from the three-point line, he made a floating three-pointer with a fadeaway jumper. .

The moment he made the shot, his teammates stared at the ball from above his head, and slowly moved with the basketball. When the ball drew a parabola above them, they saw that the ball and the basket were like a point, but the ball was smaller. The basket is bigger, and the ball penetrates into the basket like concentric circles on the plane. The teammates are dumbfounded. They all think that this three-pointer is incredible, such a difficult action, Neil always shoots sideways. He leaned back even though he was leaning back, but he was able to make a shot, and immediately applauded Neil.

Neil listened to the applause reverberating over the gymnasium, and closed his eyes to enjoy it slightly. He wanted to be immersed in this kind of joyful applause, but suddenly thought of what his father often said to him before, no matter when and where, You must know how to be low-key and humble, so he opened his eyes, looked at his more than 20 teammates, and smirked: "Why are you applauding? I just stepped on shit luck."

Everyone dismissed him, rolled their eyes at him, smiled, and said in unison: "Cut... you're still modest."

Neil was about to deny that he was not humble and was just telling the truth, but just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by an angry Marcus.

Everyone looked at the teacher with a serious and angry look on his face. Everyone stared at him blankly, not daring to make a sound, and there was silence. Up to now, there has been a sudden silence, a piece of silence, a bit frightening and frightening, especially people are not used to it, and they don't know what happened.

Marcus put his hands on his back, hunched over and walked around a few times, as if finally unable to hold back the bad news in his heart, he sighed deeply, glanced at everyone, his voice was a bit loud, and there was a hint of it in his tone A little disappointed and unwilling to say: "I'm really mad!"

Hearing what Marcus said, Neil and all his teammates hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, teacher?"

"Apart from foreign aid, what other things make me so worried."

"Won't the foreign aid come?" Neil asked tentatively before the other teammates.

Marcus nodded and said, "Yeah, I was thinking of poaching Pierre and Reddy to our Wolves team, but Peel was poached by the DePauw High School team, and Reddy was poached by Miller Middle School." , and both of them are on their varsity team, and they're going to be my Wolves' enemies, and I'm really worried that we'll get knocked out in the first round."

After hearing this, Neil felt that the heart that was hanging high in his heart and was shaking all the time seemed to have landed. It was almost time for the game, and Peel and Reddy also had their own teams, so that I would not have to play again as a teammate. Facing them, but facing them as opponents, I will not be unhappy when I play this way, and I will not feel particularly aggrieved, but their two foreign aids cannot come, and the corresponding tasks for me will be heavy. But it's okay, just do your best.

Neil looked at the teacher's worries and worries, and he felt uncomfortable. After all, he was kind to our family, so he wanted to give the teacher a little confidence, and he also gave himself a little confidence and said: "Teacher, I think we We will not be out in the first round, we should have full confidence in the upcoming games and take every game seriously, instead of giving up on ourselves just because the two foreign players can’t come.”

"That's right, teacher! Neil is right." Other teammates also supported Neil's view.

"But apart from you, they haven't participated in any big competitions at all. Facing the crowded, screaming and noisy audience, they will be nervous."

"Teacher, I was always nervous before, but after many times of training, I am no longer nervous. This is a process. You have to give them a little time, a little chance to play and exercise, so that they can help you and me in the future. , Help the entire Wolves team, this is the first grade, I personally think that as long as they can be trained, it doesn’t matter if they don’t win the championship in the first year.”

After hearing Neil's words, Marcus seemed a little ashamed of himself, his face was hot, as if every word of Neil hit him in the face, but what he said was indeed reasonable, not necessarily about Peel. You can win the championship with Reddy, so instead of pinning your hopes on foreign aid, it is better to train the more than 20 youngsters under him to become real wolves. This is the long-term solution. Therefore, Marcus seems Immediately, I felt much better. I stared at Neil with glowing eyes, and patted his shoulder with my hands: "Neil, the teacher really saw you right!"

Neil praised him all day, and he was a little lost in his heart. He didn't know how to answer the teacher, but just smiled silly. After a while, he suddenly realized that he had never participated in a big competition before, and he was also very nervous, but After his father's continuous efforts to create an atmosphere, he was so calm, so he said to the teacher: "Teacher, I have a way. I can first exercise the confidence of my teammates."

"What way, tell me quickly."

"After today, there are still two days before the game. After school in the afternoon of these two days, we will hold one or two games between the class and the junior team of the school team in the gymnasium. Let the radio station send out a signal to let the teachers and students of the school come to watch the game, and then let All teammates except me go against other classes."

"But other classes may not agree, after all, they know that the school team is very strong."

"Then add one more sentence, if some classes can't find basketball masters to play against, they can invite foreign aid, there is no limit for the second and third grades."

"That's true, but they have been abused one by one, and they don't have confidence, what should they do?"

"Yes, the teacher is right." The teammates also supported the teacher's statement.

"You are here to exercise courage and confidence, not to win. Winning or losing is not important. The important thing is that you can adapt to the screaming atmosphere, keep your heart beating, your hands are not soft, calm and unhurried, try to calm down and devote yourself Contest."

"Okay, just follow Neil's method."

"But teacher, we are still nervous."

"Look at how promising each of you is."

"As long as you always remember in your heart that I am here to exercise courage and confidence, and courage and confidence are obtained by your own hands, not by outsiders. When I was very young, my father often told me that the greatest man is The enemy is not others, but yourself. If you are nervous about a relatively small game like the Welcome Cup, then you dare to go to the National Youth Basketball Game in the future? Believe in yourself and be confident. I was also quite nervous before. When I saw the crowd people tremble."

After listening to Neil's words, the teammates felt a lot more confident, and also thought that their biggest dream when they were young was to participate in the national youth basketball game and win the championship one day, so they all turned to him and Marcus Gritting his teeth and pursing his lips, he smiled and nodded.

Seeing this scene, Marcus never imagined that foreign aid could not come, but he could train and train the players he had handpicked. This is also a good choice, but he has to thank Neil all the time.

So, she smiled at Neil, patted his head, and nodded in relief: "Good job, kid!"
