you are all star

Chapter 70 Lavender Angry
After the loss of this game, and under the comfort and encouragement of Marcus and Lavender, Neil and his teammates also replayed in their minds about what did not go well in this game and what needs to be summarized, from Improvements are made in the summary.

In the end, Marcus also tempted them to arouse their fighting spirit, saying that if they can perform well in the welcome cup competition and beat all middle schools to win the welcome cup championship, they will have the opportunity to be directly sent to participate in the national youth basketball competition , and finally won the championship in the National Youth Basketball Competition. All contestants can directly enter the top ten basketball high schools in the country, and they can also receive full scholarships and bursaries every year without spending a penny. Gao’s platform continues to show his own basketball demeanor. If it is possible again, if you perform very well in high school, you can directly participate in the NBA draft when you graduate. In the end, if you are selected by a certain team, you can choose to continue college or not. After studying in college, go directly to the NBA to play, then you will have the opportunity to make money by yourself.

Neil was so tempted by the teacher, and his mind was full of infinite reverie about the future, and what the teacher said, isn't it what I have always dreamed of?

Therefore, under the temptation of the teacher's words, Neil and his teammates re-reflected on themselves and set goals for themselves. Every moment flashed in their minds, when they lost to Huo Sen in the second game After middle school, all kinds of cynicism and complaints were attracted, and they were almost drowned by the saliva of the crowded and noisy people in the gymnasium.

In the end, they vowed to be more proactive in the third game, not for anything else. Maybe the teammates, like Neil, had a very distant dream that they didn't dare to think about, although it was very far away, like a very distant dream. They had a real dream, but they were awake, and they believed that as long as they worked hard, the dream would definitely be closer to them.

In the next game, after the baptism of failure in the second game, they passed all the way. After a month of hard work, they swept their opponents all the way, and they played more confidently every game. It may also be because of this time The game was a points match, otherwise they would have been eliminated by Huo Sen Middle School in the second game. In the end, they had the second record in the first group in the North Division against the No. [-] team in the South Division led by Peel. The middle school, if one of them wins, will also compete for the championship with one of Miller Middle School and Horsen Middle School led by Reddy.

Regarding this quarter-final, Neil and his teammates are very worried and scared, because the previous four middle schools have swept them, and their only four-game losing streak in the season is also due to the above thinking What middle school brought them, although they didn't lose much in each game, only a difference of one or two points, but they still lost in the end.

Marcus told Neil and his team before the start of the quarter-finals, you have done a good job, you have tried your best, and you have proved yourself to the outside world, but if you can do your best for the Fight for it yourself, and you'll make the outside world question your mouths, shut them up, and let them stick glue.

They also kept the teacher's words firmly in their hearts, but words of encouragement alone were not enough. Marcus had to give them devilish and special training a week later, before the game. Seeking nothing else, I have only been looking for job teaching for so many years. Although it is impossible to win the Welcome Cup championship, at least there is only one team away from the championship, so the next year will be a little easier.

Since this week, Neil also invited his teammates to the gymnasium to run, shoot, dribble, and practice breakthrough speed every night when everyone returned to the dormitory after school. The one in front is not DePauw Middle School led by Peel, nor Miller Middle School led by Reddy. Although their two middle schools are also very strong, their real opponent is Huo Sen Middle School. They are too tall, too strong, and He can play, which makes Neil have to be strict with his teammates. Since Huo Sen Middle School, who ranks first in the standings, is too tall, we have to create lethality for them in terms of movement and speed.

Today is already Friday, and this week is coming to an end. As the captain, Neil, under the arrangement of the teacher, all the students went home or went to play with their parents on Friday afternoon, but he and his teammates still couldn’t relax for a moment. You have to work hard, and you have to review various movements.

On Friday afternoon, Lavender did not go home either. She was like a sensible little girl. After school, she bought two meals and two bottles of water, asked the store to pack them for her, and rushed to In the gymnasium, seeing that Neil was sweating profusely there, shooting basketball with him and practicing, his face was slightly flushed, he was a little embarrassed, but he still bit his lip, waved his hand and greeted Neil loudly: " Hi... Neil!"

Neil quickly stopped and turned his head to stare. Seeing that it was Lavender, he smiled and threw the ball to his teammates. While running towards Lavender, he also waved his hand to greet Lavender: "Hey, Lavender, your father didn't come to pick you up." you?"

"I told him not to pick me up. I won't be going back this week. I will practice with you at school."

"This is not good, you will be bored."

"It's okay. I'm bored by myself when I go home. When I get home, I only have a pet dog to accompany me. I'm not as happy as watching you play at school."

"Really?" Neil asked tentatively with a silly smile as if the monk at Zhang Er was puzzled.

"of course!"

"By the way, I brought you water and food, let's eat together!"

"But what about my teammates?"

When Neil asked, Lavender blushed immediately. She was about to say, then I’ll go buy it again, but Neil went to his teammates and said, “Brothers, you practice for a while, and Lavender and I Get out for a while."

"Okay, Captain!"

So, Neil pointed to the rice and water in her hand towards Lavender, and said in a low voice, "Lavender, let's go, let's go out to eat, tempting them here, and distracting them."

Lavender nodded slightly, and the two happily walked out of the gymnasium. After they came out, they wanted to find a place to sit and eat, so they walked along a small path in the direction of the school gate, because there was a pavilion at the end of the path, and beside the pavilion there was On the lawn, there are all kinds of colorful flowers blooming, and there is also a lake with fish of different colors in it.

Neil was afraid that Lavender would be soft with the food and sailors, so he asked her to carry it for him. Lavender seemed to have this kind of willingness for a long time, but it was difficult to open her mouth. Seeing that Neil finally lost his mind, he was very happy and willing to take The thing in his hand was given to Neil.

After Neil took the food from Lavender's hand and who was it, he probably wanted to eat and come back to practice soon, so he couldn't help speeding up his pace, and Lavender also couldn't help speeding up his pace.

It may be that I have been busy on the road and have no time to patronize the dim sunset that is setting in the west.

When they came to the pavilion and sat down on the stone bench, they noticed that the golden and dim sunset reflected from the water surface was shining crystally in the ripples.

Seeing everything so beautiful, Lavender seemed to forget she was hungry. She put the lunch box that Neil handed her on the stone bench, stood up slowly, looked up at the sunset, and stared flatly at the glowing microwave. The glistening lake looked exactly like the stars in her memory.

Seeing that he didn't eat, Neil stood up instead, and asked in surprise, "Lavender, what's wrong?"

"Neil, look, how beautiful the lake is under the setting sun!"

Neil didn't care very much, glanced at him very indifferently, and then didn't understand the mood, he only thought about his dreams and basketball, so he said very sadly to Lavender: "I didn't notice, you'd better eat quickly, eat After that, I have to go to practice!"

After hearing this, Lavender's complexion suddenly became gloomy, she became a little narrow-minded, a little squeamish, and she pouted her pink cherry mouth angrily and said: "You know dreams and basketball in one day, you know , because of it, how many such beautiful evenings and sunsets have you missed."

"Lavender, that's not what I meant. I just can't help it. After all, sometimes, if you like something, you have to give up something. Don't you understand that?"

"Stop talking, I want to talk to you, eat it yourself!"

The voice was still echoing in the air, under the setting sun, under the background of everything, she suddenly wanted to cry, turned around, covered her mouth and ran away.

Neil put down the tableware in a hurry, and while chasing after him, he said loudly: "Lavender, don't do this, okay? I just have to do it temporarily, I can't help myself, I don't have time, and I don't have the extra mood to appreciate these beautiful things."

Lavender quickened her pace, and while running desperately, she replied to him like this: "Okay, then stop chasing me, it will also waste your time."

Ke Neil still refused to listen with a dead face, and continued to chase after him. Seeing that he was about to catch up, Lavender quickly wiped the tears from his cheeks, turned his head, with a serious expression, and said to Neil: "Don't let me go!" Follow me, didn’t you hear? If you follow me again, I’m not welcome, go, have dinner, and pursue your basketball dream.”

As soon as the voice fell, he turned and ran.

Neil saw that Lavender was about to lose his temper, so he didn't dare to chase after her, so he had to let her go. In fact, Lavender still expected him to catch up, but Neil had too many entanglements in his heart. Now that he chose The basketball dream is bound to give up a lot of beautiful scenery.

Neil stared at Lavender's heartbroken, hurried back until he disappeared into a corner of the campus. He didn't go back to eat the boxed lunch, but looked at the steaming, steaming meal with dull eyes. After staring at it for a long time, until it disappeared under the heat, the setting sun set in the west, and the cleaning staff who cleaned the lunch box and water, made a sound of blame while cleaning up: "Who are these two people? If you don't eat it, don't buy it." Well, I bought it and didn’t eat it, what a waste, and now I have to drive the lights to clean it up, hey, it’s probably because the little boy and the little girl quarreled, it’s really..."

When Neil heard this, he suddenly felt desolate in his heart. It seemed that his soul had finally come back, and tears burst out.
