Strong Offense and Defense

"I'll go next door to borrow the tools for a haircut."

When Reese went out, Nie Chuan really realized that Reese was really going to cut his hair!

Next door to them lives a particularly stinky blond boy who has a whole set of tools for blowing hair and cutting bangs.

Nie Chuan could imagine how surprised that boy was when Reese came to ask him to borrow the scissors!

Rees found a newspaper, put it on the ground, pressed the chair on it, and patted the back of the chair: "Sit here."

Well, thinking that Reese would touch his hair all the time, even though the future of his hairstyle was uncertain, Nie Chuan also faintly felt a little bit of joy.

He sat on the chair, and Reese pressed the newspaper into his t-shirt, and then, as Nie Chuan hoped, Reese's fingers sank into his hair over and over again.

"Did you wash your hair this morning?"

"Yeah, I played basketball for a while. I got a little sweaty, so I washed it off."

Because you love cleanliness!In order to avoid making you unhappy, I also love to be clean!

Rees sprayed Nie Chuan's hair with a humidifier, and started to use the scissors after layering.

Nie Chuan only heard rustling sounds, and broken hair fell from his ears.His face was a little itchy, but he dared not move.Reese tugged at the napkin, brushing his cheek.

"Do you know why I cut your hair?"

"why?"

Because of long hair?

"Cut an ugly hairstyle for you, and put some pressure on you, lest you always confess your love indiscriminately."

"Huh? What?"

Is it for this reason?

"Yeah, otherwise why do you think it is?"

Rees stood behind Nie Chuan, which prevented Nie Chuan from seeing his expression at all.Is he serious, or is he joking by pulling the corners of his lips again?

"Even if you give me a handsome haircut, I won't confess my love easily." Nie Chuan lowered his eyes and smiled.

The scissors rattling sound suddenly stopped.

"Who did you like again? Lily?"

Nie Chuan raised his head and saw Reese's slightly frowned brows.

Why do you have to show such an expression?Like you really care who I like.

"Do you want to know who I like?" Nie Chuan suddenly became malicious.

Thinking that I was always played by Rees, why couldn't I play him?

"I don't want to know." Reese continued to cut Nie Chuan's hair.

"It's fine if you don't want to know."

Nie Chuan pursed his lips. After getting along for so long, he also somewhat knew Reese's duplicity.He will surely ask himself in a moment.

In order to wait until that moment, Nie Chuan also became very patient.

Rees had already walked from behind him to the front, pinching Nie Chuan's bangs with his fingers, and cutting them carefully.

Broken hair fell on Nie Chuan's nose, Nie Chuan wrinkled his nose, a burst of warm breath blew over, Nie Chuan's heart skipped a beat.

It was Reese who bent down and blew the broken hair out for him.

Half an hour later, Nie Chuan's hair was cut.

"All right. You pack the newspapers and the chairs."

"Oh, I see." Nie Chuan stood up and walked to the bathroom impatiently.

What kind of hairstyle did Reese cut himself?

Nie Chuan stared at himself in the mirror and was stunned.

His own bangs and hairstyle before made him look very young, but Reece cut his bangs short for him and trimmed the sides. He was neat and capable, as if he had grown two or three years old in an instant, with a somewhat trustworthy maturity. feel.Nie Chuan looked left and right, this is the hairstyle of the model of a men's perfume in a department store not far from home!

"Reese—you gave me such a handsome haircut, I don't think I need to confess my love to anyone in the future!"

For the first time, Nie Chuan understood what it was like to be narcissistic!

In the past, Zhou Bin said that hairstyle determines everything, but Nie Chuan thought it was nonsense, but now it seems that it is too brilliant.

I also have the capital to be a model or a star!

"Why don't you need to confess your love to others?" Reese came to the door of the bathroom and asked sideways.

"Because I'm so handsome, others will come to confess to me!"

"I also feel that I have the ability to turn decay into magic."

In other words, in Reese's heart, Nie Chuan is "rotten"!

"You haven't said who you like again." Reese asked, his voice was a little cool.

Nie Chuan pulled the corners of his lips and turned his neck: "Hey, did you scratch my neck when you used the razor?"

"Impossible." Reese came over, put his finger on the side of Nie Chuan's neck, checked carefully, but found nothing.

"Hey, look in the mirror."

Reese looked up.

"The person I like is in the mirror. He plays basketball well, has a good grade last semester, and is handsome." Nie Chuan's eyes were bent into moons.

Reese's fingers still resting on Nie Chuan's neck trembled slightly.

Nie Chuan felt it clearly.

I like you.

really like you.

I like you more than all the people who have had a crush on and confessed to.

But I don't know what to say.

Nie Chuan raised his hand and pointed to his chest: "How about it, isn't it handsome?"

At that moment, Reese's hand was completely released, and he suddenly pressed Nie Chuan's head hard, and pressed it into his own arms, making Nie Chuan almost out of breath.

"It seems that your narcissism has grown a lot! Since you think you are good at basketball, don't hold me back in the practice match arranged by Carlo."

"how is this possible!"

"You can still get all the good grades this semester, and I will think you are handsome." Reese turned and left the bathroom.

Nie Chuan smiled and raised his hand to touch the ends of his hair.

This is the first time he has not been rejected after confessing his love to someone, so has his confession skills improved?

And so began the semester.The course schedule is still not too tight, but Nie Chuan knows that formal training will start in mid-October, which makes him look forward to it.

When Nie Chuan and Zhou Bin met at the Asian restaurant, Zhou Bin showed a very surprised expression.

"A Chuan! Where did you get your new haircut? It's a complete change! Introduce me to the barber!" Zhou Bin tried several haircuts after coming here, each time failing more and more.To be honest, he was able to catch up with his current girlfriend probably because of his mouth that turned black and white.

"Reese cut it for me. How about asking him to cut it for you next time you come to my dormitory?"

"Reese? That must be a tailor-made hairstyle for you, and it probably won't fit on my head. Ah Chuan, show your love, die fast." Zhou Bin raised his finger.

"Tch, you show off your girlfriend's delicious food on Weibo every day, and you're the one who dies the fastest, right?"

But there is no doubt that Nie Chuan has become handsome.

He was walking on the school's tree-lined path when a girl passing by on a bicycle nearly hit a tree.

According to Zhou Bin's analysis, the reason why Nie Chuan became handsome was because he played basketball for a long time. Not only did he grow taller, but also his figure became more beautiful. With the newly cut hairstyle for him by Rees, Nie Chuan officially entered the ranks of handsome men.

In the first week of the new semester, dk started a practice match with efu, one of the top four in the region last year.

This practice match was very formal, and it was the first time that Nie Chuan had entered the school's basketball court.Not to mention the seats in the hall, even the lighting and lighting are not comparable to community basketball courts.

Nie Chuan raised his head and looked around. Many students had come in to watch the battle one after another, and the sound of whistles and cheers followed one after another.

And Lily also led the cheerleading team and danced outside the venue to rhythmic music.With a throw, Lily landed steadily. She looked in Nie Chuan's direction, blinked her eyes, and said "come on" with her mouth.

Nie Chuan suddenly felt dizzy.

"What's wrong?" Reese came to his side.

"I feel like I'm dreaming. I've only seen these scenes in movies."

"This is not a league game." Reese raised his hand and rubbed the top of Nie Chuan's head.

It's just this simple action, and many people have seen it.

"Hey, did you see that Rhys Reddington seems to be on good terms with that black-haired guy? Never seen him touch anyone!"

"That's his roommate!"

The people from efu also walked into the basketball hall with their sports bags on their backs.

The leader should be their captain, who is taller than Montenegro, and is said to be one of the best centers in the area.

The other party came in front of Carlo, and the moment the two shook hands, the cheerleaders shouted another octave.

"DK is still so enthusiastic! I haven't played against him for almost a year. I feel very sorry to hear that Connor has quit the team."

This is not the first time that Nie Chuan has seen words like "dk without Connor is a second-rate basketball team" from the opponent's eyes.

"Haha, don't worry, although Connor left, we still prepared depth charges for you!" Carlo smiled.

The lineup sent by efu this time is very strong. In addition to the main players and main substitutes, other players also came to observe.

Their coach sat on the sidelines with a serious face, but Coach Gordon was long overdue.

He was still wearing a very expensive suit at first glance, and he opened his arms to the opposing coach with a very enthusiastic look.

"Ah! Old Bu! I'm so happy to see you in my lifetime. I heard that you were hospitalized last month because of high blood pressure!"

"Don't worry, I won't go to see God until my team beats DK. Your suit seems to be a size too big. It seems that you have gained a lot of weight recently. Gordon, pay more attention to diet and exercise, Otherwise you won’t even be able to fit in a suit.”

Just as Nie Chuan wiped his sweat off the two coaches' mutual sarcasm, the two suddenly hugged each other again and laughed heartily.

"Hey, I have to show my level today. I brought the whole team."

"Haha, our dk has a lot of talents, and it will definitely make you look good."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two returned to their respective teams.

With his hands in the pockets of his suit, Coach Gordon came leisurely in front of Carlo and the others.

When he called out the list of appearances in the first half, there were Carlos, Montenegro, Ewing and Rees, but he did not have his own name.

Sure enough... With his qualifications, can he still only sit on the bench?

"Hey, Coach Gordon, why don't you let Allen play? He lacks experience, and he should be given more opportunities to learn!" Carlo said dissatisfied.

"This is a practice match, and the purpose is to allow as many people in the team as possible to have the opportunity to practice. And Allen..." Coach Gordon looked sideways at Nie Chuan, "You need to understand that observation is also a weapon. Like Observing like an outsider is more beneficial to you as a point guard, disintegrating the opponent's defense and driving the entire team's offense."

"I understand, coach." Nie Chuan nodded and sat back on the chair.

There is still a long time for the practice match. Since Coach Gordon said so, he must have a chance to play.

Carlo held his head and showed a disappointed expression: "What! I thought I could let Alan out and surprise the efu people!"

Nie Chuan's face was full of black lines. Why did Carlo's words sound like "close the door and release Nie Chuan"?

DK played almost his own main lineup, but his opponents. Except for their captain, everyone else was rookies.

Carlo frowned and looked at Coach Gordon, meaning: These people are not enough for us to play, otherwise we should also let newcomers play?

Coach Gordon smiled and shook his head.

The game was about to start, and when the referee stood in the middle of the court, the entire noisy basketball hall fell silent instantly.

Montenegro, who has always had an advantage in scrimmage, let the opponent steal the ball, and efu launched the first attack of this practice match.

"Wow, their center is so good..." The new team player sitting next to Nie Chuan sighed.

"Yeah, Montenegro was already the top center in the region last year, but the opponent's center is unambiguous!"

Nie Chuan clenched his fists slightly. Scratching the ball is the beginning of a game, which is related to the team's momentum, but it is only a temporary success or failure.Montenegro's position in the basket and the ability to play low singles are not comparable to ordinary people.

"Did anyone see how much Montenegro missed the opponent's center just now?" Coach Gordon asked with a chuckle.

"Too fast! How can you see clearly!" Chuck shouted.

"Yeah, everything is only for a moment... There seems to be no gap between the two of them, right? Maybe the other party's strength is a little stronger than Montenegro?"

Coach Gordon turned his face sideways and raised his chin at Nie Chuan: "Alan, what do you think?"

Nie Chuan raised his finger and tapped on the first knuckle of his index finger: "I think the gap is only a little bit. But because they are both powerful players, the gap seems huge .”

Coach Gordon smiled: "Your dynamic vision is really good."

"Ah! This can also be seen clearly, Alan, you are really amazing! No wonder Carlo and Rees value you so much!"

Chuck's compliment made Nie Chuan feel embarrassed.

At this time, the opponent's small forward had gone deep into DK's basket, and Ewing stepped forward to defend behind him. Carlo was in front of him. He had to pass the ball to the side, but it was easily intercepted by Rees.

When he turned around, Rees had dribbled the ball far away from his opponent.

The efu players shouted loudly: "Stop him! Stop him!"

Nie Chuan shook his head, "It's impossible for anyone to stop him."

As Nie Chuan said, Reese was like entering no one's land. He had already taken off even though there was still some distance to go. He was in the air for a long time. The team members are already dumbfounded.

Nie Chuan's eyes widened. Reese's explosive power was really powerful, and besides...he didn't seem to take off the weight on his wrist.

After Rees landed, there was a burst of shouting from the audience.

dk's cheerleaders are louder too.

Nie Chuan frowned.Whenever he thought he was approaching Reese, it turned out that there was still such a large distance between them.

"Wow, Reece completely blown away his opponents from the very beginning! Whoever wants Old Bu will let the rookie play. Apart from being crushed, how can the salty fish turn around?" Chuck shook his head.

Coach Gordon replied: "This is the brilliance of the old cloth. With the graduation of the old players, these new players must grow up as soon as possible. The basketball in middle school cannot be compared with the college league. Everyone knows very well that this is not important. Participating, it’s about your future and your career. So it’s brutal. Instead of being in the league and overwhelming these rookies, it’s better to hit them to the bottom now.”

"Oh..." Everyone nodded in understanding.

Chuck suddenly pointed to the auditorium opposite: "Hey, that seems to be a columnist from a well-known nba magazine...Mr. Lynn?"

"Why is he here? Is he here to watch Reese's game?"

"Of course, right? Last year, an NBA team invited Reece to join, and this year it's even higher!"

Nie Chuan was a little embarrassed, because the last time he met Mr. Lynn, he was interviewing Larvin, and he impulsively went one-on-one with Larvin, and even hurt his cheek.

When Mr. Lin En looked at Nie Chuan, he smiled and waved to Nie Chuan.

"Eh, Alan? You seem to know Mr. Lynn?"

"That's it."

At this time, Mr. Lin En had already walked into the DK team. He first greeted Coach Gordon, and then sat next to Nie Chuan.His arrival surprised the dk players.

"I heard that there will be a practice match between you and efu today, so I came here specially. I didn't expect that you didn't play." Mr. Lin En showed a very regretful smile.

Nie Chuan also laughed: "It sounds like Mr. Lin En, you came to see my game specially."

Unexpectedly, the other party nodded: "Yes. Because I really want to know if the strength you showed against Ralvin that day is all you have?"

"Of course not everything about me." Nie Chuan replied with certainty.

"I didn't expect you to be so confident?" Mr. Lynn snapped his fingers, "Well, I expect Coach Gordon to send you on the field. Isn't that right, Coach Gordon?"

Coach Gordon squinted his eyes at Nie Chuan: "You and Mr. Lynn seem to have known each other. Is there any episode that I don't know happened?"

Unexpectedly, the coach was so keen. Nie Chuan looked at Mr. Lin En pleadingly. After all, it was fine to go one-on-one with a master, and it was too shameful to be hit and swollen.

Mr. Lin En seemed not to have received Nie Chuan's gaze. He turned his face and whispered to Coach Gordon, "Because Alan made me fall in love at first sight with a K!"

"K? Are you sure it's not Reese, but Allen?"

"I've seen it with my own eyes, and it's absolutely true."

At this time, Ewing passed his opponent and easily pulled the score gap to double digits with a three-pointer.

Although this result was within everyone's expectations, efu's momentum has obviously dropped.Their main players have already started warming up outside the court.

"Old Bu wants to use dk to make a whetstone, but the effect is a bit too much." Mr. Lynn said.

Coach Gordon smiled: "DK can't be anyone's sharpening stone, because it is a sharp edge."

In the first half, Ewing's shooting from the outside was hard to defend, Carlo and Montenegro's cooperation at the basket was also perfect, and Rees used his superb skills to give efu's rookies a fatal blow.

Nie Chuan understood this feeling very well, and he also experienced it deeply when he faced Owen Whishaw.

I was instantly killed by my opponent every minute, easily got rid of by my opponent, and my opponent could even play tricks on me while scoring.This kind of psychological gap is probably not so easy for efu's newcomers to bridge.

"Alan, you can warm up now." Coach Gordon nodded towards Nie Chuan.

Nie Chuan stood up and stretched his wrists and ankles.

At the end of the first half, dk had an overwhelming advantage unilaterally.

After a short rest and tactical guidance, the next game came.

Efu replaced the main players, but Coach Gordon replaced Reese and Ewing, and replaced Nie Chuan and Chuck.

"Hey! Why did we replace Reece and Ewing?" Carlo asked puzzled, "Reece's performance is great, and Ewing's ability to score from the outside can be guaranteed!"

Coach Gordon held his pocket, looked at Nie Chuan and said, "Among all the people on the basketball team, who do you practice with the most?"

"Of course it's Rees," Nie Chuan replied.

"Secondly?"

"Ewing." Nie Chuan vaguely understood why Coach Gordon replaced Ewing and Reese.

"That's right. Reece and Ewing are good scorers on the team. With them, you will subconsciously pass the ball to them first. Of course, there is nothing wrong with such a judgment. But as a point guard, I I hope you can drive the whole team, including Carlo and Montenegro. They are also good at scoring and defending. As for Chuck and Peter, they are also very good players, maybe not as dazzling as Rees, but in the league You’re going to have a lot of opportunities to play with them. My hope is that no matter who you’re playing with on the court, you’ll be able to play perfectly as a point guard.”

"I understand, coach." Nie Chuan nodded.

Carlo put his arm on Nie Chuan's body, and the disappointment that Ewing and Reese were replaced just now has completely disappeared: "I'll just say it! Alan, you have to pass the ball to me more! In fact, I am no better than Reese is bad!"

"Come on, it's obviously far away, okay?" Ewing said with disgust.

Nie Chuan took a breath and was ready to play.

When he was about to take out the things on his wrist, Rees grabbed him and shook his head slightly.

"You don't need to take it out."

"But……"

"This little pressure is nothing to you."

Nie Chuan could see the faint smile on Reese's lips.
