Strong Offense and Defense

With his back to Nie Chuan, Reese's lips were slowly sunken.

"And tiptoe jumping and step jumping."

"Then let's continue..." Nie Chuan thought for a while and added, "But I request a 10-minute intermission!"

"Ah."

This morning's training was over, and Nie Chuan had never been so tired in his life.

With his face up and his upper body propped up, he sat directly on the edge of the basketball court. Rees handed him a bottle of mineral water. He unscrewed the cap and drank half of the bottle, pouring the rest down from the top of his head.

The pleasure cannot be described in words.

A white towel fell from his head and covered his face.

Nie Chuan was lazy and didn't want to move.Some words, if face-to-face, maybe you can't say it at all.

"Hey...Reese, I'm sorry."

"Excuse me for what?" Reese stood beside Nie Chuan, leaning against the wall.

Don't look at it, it definitely looks like a plane model.

"I bit you."

I'm going to bleed.And you didn't hit me.

Your good temper exceeded my expectations.

Of course, Nie Chuan would not say these words.

"It's ok, I'll get the tetanus and rabies shots."

"Huh?" Nie Chuan's eyes finally emerged from under the towel.

Does this guy think that Nie Chuan has rabies?

"Being cranky, lacking stamina, and biting on impulse, you could be manic."

"Huh?" Nie Chuan continued to be surprised.

"I know a good psychiatrist, and I can introduce you to him."

"Huh?" Nie Chuan expressed surprise again, "Damn it... I just wanted to thank you for praising me for my talent!"

Reese turned his face sideways, and said with a reasonable expression: "If you want a person to persist in doing something, you should praise him for his talent. Isn't that what it should be?"

Nie Chuan was dumbfounded.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is often performed in American movies and TV shows: the mother caresses the face of her sobbing son, and says with expectation in her eyes: "My dear son, I believe in you—as long as you persist, you will definitely You can do it well! Because you have talent!"

When someone has no advantage at all in achieving a certain goal, the only thing left is to praise him as "talented".

The excited mood that was encouraged just now was extinguished in an instant.

He felt like a fool for giving his all in the last hour of special training...

At this moment, Rees stretched out his arms and rubbed Nie Chuan's head through the towel: "But you persevered."

"So? Is this considered talent?"

"Yes, persistence is also a talent. I thought you would turn around and leave. Although your training intensity is less than one-third of mine."

"What?" Nie Chuan opened his eyes wide.

He was as tired as a dog, and he was less than a third of Reese?How can this be embarrassing for him?

"Actually, besides these exercises that require venues, there are other more convenient ways to practice. You can continue to practice after returning to the student dormitory. You can listen to music or watch movies during practice."

"What method?" Nie Chuan opened his eyes wide.

"Find a thick book and place it under your toes so that your heels don't touch the ground. Slowly raise your toes and then lower them slowly. You can achieve a heel raising effect."

"I wrote it down, it's simple!"

"But it's tiring."

"..."

Nie Chuan's stomach soon began to growl.

Reese raised his chin: "Go get a mop and clean the court. No sweat."

"Huh?" Nie Chuan was dumbfounded. He was too tired to walk now, and Reese wanted him to clean the basketball court?

"This afternoon, one of my high school classmates will come here from another city to have a game with me."

"What? Came from another city, just for"

You have so much energy!

"You can stay and watch, or you can go home and rest." Reese said lightly.

"Of course stay and watch!"

Nie Chuan really wanted to see what Reese was like!

"Then clean up the basketball court."

"..."

It turns out that there is a fee for viewing!

Nie Chuan mopped the floor of the basketball court with his tired body, and finally Reese took him to have a decent lunch.

This lunch is neither fast food nor western food, but the most expensive Chinese restaurant that Nie Chuan has ever heard of in this city.

After drinking and eating, Reese drove Nie Chuan back to the warehouse.Nie Chuan felt sleepy as soon as he was full, and fell asleep with his head tilted against the car window.

Rees parked the car at the door of the warehouse, and did not wake Nie Chuan, but quietly folded his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

More than two hours later, a taxi stopped not far away.

A tall, dark-skinned young man walked in their direction with a sports bag on his back.

He smiled and tapped on Reese's car window: "Hey! Is that how you greeted me?"

Reese opened his eyes, lowered his head and looked at his sports watch: "Are you here so late?"

"It's enough to have a hearty match with you." The other party grinned, with extremely bright white teeth.

And Nie Chuan, who was sleeping in the dark, finally woke up rubbing his eyes: "Hey... is your friend here..."

Nie Chuan just discovered that this guy... is definitely over 1.9 meters tall, right?

"Eh? Reece, why is there an Asian kid in your car?"

... Is he being treated like a child again?

Nie Chuan couldn't complain.

"He keeps score for us."

"Oh—hello! My name is Raven Harvey! Reece and I were classmates in middle school, but now I belong to KSU, and Reece's DK is an old rival in the basketball league!"

The other party looked very friendly. Nie Chuan was about to shake hands with him, but Rees patted the other party's hand.

"Let's go, don't waste time."

Raven saw the gauze on Reese's forearm and said in surprise, "Hey! You've always been very cautious, how did you hurt yourself?"

"Bite by a dog."

After Rees finished speaking, Nie Chuan was about to explode.

Obviously you are the guy who provoked me on purpose!

Either hit me, bite me, or get lost!

As soon as Nie Chuan opened his mouth to defend, Rees suddenly stuffed something into Nie Chuan's mouth, so fast that Nie Chuan almost choked to death.

The smell of cocoa and milk spreads on the tip of the tongue, it is chocolate!

When did Reese peel the chocolate?

Why didn't he see it?

Rees had already walked towards the warehouse with Ruiwen, and Ruiwen still turned around and waved to Nie Chuan: "Hey, kid! Come down quickly!"

You are a child!Your whole family are children!

Nie Chuan returned to the bright basketball court that he had cleaned.

From the chat between Ruiwen and Reese, Nie Chuan knew that this was actually the secret base of Reese and his friends who played basketball together in high school.It seems that this warehouse was registered under the name of Reese's father, and Reese transformed it into a basketball gym.These old teammates who have gone to various universities still gather here to play basketball from time to time.

Without unnecessary nonsense, Rees and Raven quickly entered a duel state.

It was Rees who dribbled the ball. He didn't rush forward as decisively as he did with Nie Chuan, but stared closely at Ruiwen's eyes.His body didn't shake, and he didn't make extra fake moves, but Nie Chuan could see the concentration in Reese's eyes.

This made Nie Chuan wonder, what kind of opponent is Ruiwen?

And Raven also opened his arms, the smirk on his face subsided, his calf was stretched, once Reese made any movement, he could exert strength at any time.

Suddenly, Rees swung to one side, and Raven also moved over.Nie Chuan originally thought that this was just a very natural fake move by Rees, but he didn't expect Rees to continue this way to forcefully break through.

Raven was looking for the best time to steal the ball. At the moment when he was about to steal the basketball, Reece turned sideways and shook his shoulders in the opposite direction. Raven was about to keep up, but he shifted his focus in an instant, dribbled the ball behind his back, and was about to leave Raven's defense.

Nie Chuan on the side saw his heart arouse. He thought that Rees had successfully passed Ruiwen, but he didn't expect that Reiss suddenly stopped and turned around without hesitation. Rees's speed was extremely fast, but Raven's The speed completely exceeded Nie Chuan's imagination. He was running like lightning, and suddenly ran side by side with Rees, and speeded up again, turning around and coming in front of Rees.

This speed made Nie Chuan dumbfounded.

But Reese jumped up suddenly and was about to throw the ball to the basket.

This is impossible!It must be a feint!This distance is too far!

Raven, who let go of Reece, jumped up suddenly, his outstretched arm seemed to surpass Reece's shot.

Nie Chuan's heart throbbed.

Raven's fingertips met Reese's [-]-pointer, changing its arc.

Reese seemed to have expected that the ball would not hit. The moment it landed, he suddenly accelerated his running. Before Nie Chuan could even react, he had already taken off.

Raven also came behind him, his jumping ability was amazing, and he was about to take down the rebound.

Maybe it was only a few tenths of a second, and Reese dunked the ball hard into the basket.

With a "touch—" sound, Nie Chuan felt as if his nerves had been shattered.

Rees landed on the ground, his cold eyes swept over Nie Chuan.

"Two...two to zero!" Nie Chuan shouted.

Raven was not angry either, and grinned: "It's my turn! I won't let you be well..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly sped up and rushed towards Rees, swaying to Rees' left side without warning. The moment Rees followed, Raven suddenly accelerated and swayed towards Rees after two very smooth dribbles. The right side, followed by a turn back to the left!
