Chapter 8: farewell to youth
Le Xia couldn't react to Thompson's words.
"What do you mean? If you want to play basketball, you go to the coach. You don't have long hair and you don't mix in the society. The coach won't let you go."
Thompson glanced at the tense Parker and Gwen, and explained with a broken expression.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to make trouble."
Looking down at Le Xia, Thompson said sincerely, "I'm here to ask you for help."
Le Xia pointed to the empty chair behind Thompson, motioning for him to sit down and talk, it was too big, and his neck was a little tired.
"Let me tell you what it is first. I may not help, and I may not help."
Thompson was not hypocritical, and said directly, "That's right, our coach used to be an assistant on the college basketball team. This time his former school basketball team came to New York for training. The coach wanted us to play a friendly game with the college team. "
Le Xia spread his hands, "Then I wish you good results and beat that college team to the bum."
Thompson suddenly looked a little lonely, "This may be my last game at school. Next month, I'm going to join the army."
"join the army?"
Both Parker and Gwen were surprised, especially Gwen. She was still tutoring Thompson recently, but the other party now said that she was going to join the army.
"You don't want to go to college anymore?"
Thompson nodded awkwardly, "Yes."
"Then you came to my house and asked me to help you make up lessons and guide you in doing your homework?" Gwen was almost blown out of anger, "Won't your conscience hurt if you waste my time so recklessly?"
Thompson blushed suddenly, "Well, I'm sorry, Gwen, I wanted to tell you earlier, but every time I met you, you started talking about studying, and I couldn't find a chance..."
Le Xia and Parker looked at each other, 'Look at them, they all went straight to the house. In comparison, the two of us are just like each other. '
Parker curled his lips, "You still talked to Gwen today, I am the real Fileby." '
Le Xia thought for a while, 'Everyone is pretty much the same, this guy has gone to someone's house, can't he just talk about studying, I guess he didn't get his hands on it, we don't understand the world of top female students. '
"You liar," Gwen sat back angrily.
Thompson hurriedly explained, "Gwen, don't be angry, it's my fault, I did this because I like you... Hey, forget it, if you want to be angry, be angry, I'm leaving soon anyway."
"I'll go here for at least two or three years. During this time, if you meet a boy you want to date, I have no problem. I think Le Xia is good, you can..."
"Who are you to me..." Gwen rolled her eyes, feeling a little funny.
"I…"
"Hey!" Le Xia interrupted Granny Thompson's long-winded, "I want you to help me, if you want to talk about something, just say it, don't say **** off, don't keep saying those stupid things that lower everyone's IQ."
"What are you talking about?" Thompson was stunned for a moment. "Oh, yes, it's business. I want you to join us against the Davidson College basketball team. They are very strong. I don't want to leave regrets in high school."
"I did something wrong in the past, but yesterday you embarrassed me in front of so many people in the gymnasium. Everyone is even. They are all classmates. I hope you can help me."
Although Thompson likes to bully his classmates because of his stamina, he is nothing more than a young man who is young and energetic, and there is nothing malicious about him when he really says it.
He can directly admit his mistakes, and don't bother to mention his embarrassing things, which shows that this is a straightforward boy.
"Okay, since you think highly of me, then I promise you."
Thompson didn't want to leave regrets in high school, so why not Le Xia.
And which young man would not yearn to sweat profusely with his companions on the court, while receiving enthusiastic cheers from girls of various styles outside the court?
It is foreseeable that with the help of the Saint Cloth Box Cosmos, it won't take long for Le Xia's physical fitness to surpass that of high school students, or even human beings.
At that time, it will be difficult to play a ball game as an ordinary person. If one is not careful, it will either break the opponent or overturn the ball frame.
Young people should do some young people's things.
Therefore, Le Xia directly agreed to this matter.
"When is the game?"
"This afternoon." Seeing that Le Xia agreed, Thompson stood up excitedly, "Let's go to the gym at noon and practice together."
"So fast!"
The game between Midtown High School and Davidson College was at three o'clock in the afternoon. When Le Xia arrived at the gymnasium at two o'clock, he found that the gymnasium was full of seats, and the corridors and aisles were full of people.
Le Xia was taken aback when he walked into the gym with Parker.
"Hey! My good fellow, there are so many people, this place is full of people."
"Well," Parker replied very carelessly.
Le Xia suddenly lost interest in talking, these people obviously didn't come to see him, but to see the baby face in the field who was practicing shooting.
Stephen, the head point guard of Davidson College, is a junior this year. He was rejected by the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) giants Duke University because of his thinness. All according to the hanging ratio of friction on the floor.
Looking at the baby face, Le Xia pouted, 'You are very powerful now, and you will be even more powerful in the future, but what's the matter, this is the Marvel world. '
Even the future Spider-Man Le Xia can get along peacefully, let alone a future NBA star.
But I can use this guy to sum up my youth, it seems pretty good.
The game started on time at three o'clock. As soon as the game started, Midtown High School double-teamed Stephen. The two people who double-teamed him were naturally Thompson and Le Xia.
The overall level of Davidson College's team is not strong. It mainly depends on the head star Stephen to revitalize the entire team. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com restricts Stephen and controls the normal game.
Relying on Thompson's strong body and Le Xia's keen consciousness, Stephen was stunned after the whole game.
Can't break through, can't pass the ball, as long as the basketball is in his hands, it is the end point and the starting point for the opponent to launch a counterattack.
Although Stephen has the ability to shoot long-range three-pointers, super long-range three-pointers are mostly dependent on luck. Even if he can hit more than 50% of them, he can't beat the unreasonable flying dunk of the Chinese opponent.
The dunk hit rate is close to 100%.
Even a center forward who is more than 2.10 meters can't stop him. Could this Chinese who is a little over 1.8 meters be able to "tear girls and control wives"?
The promised carry is for the audience, let the juniors and juniors see what is the level of basketball at the NCAA level.
Did you pull me here just to slap me in the face? What's wrong with Babyface, is Babyface easy to bully, Babyface ate your rice?
This is the cheating!
In the rest room after the game, Stephen threw the towel angrily, and was defeated by a high school team by 20 points, which should not be laughed to death by other schools.
‘The three-point shooting rate is still a bit poor, and I need to continue to practice more when I go back. '
Outside the gymnasium, Thompson and Le Xia stood side by side facing the sunset.
"Thank you, I have no regrets."
Le Xia rolled his eyes helplessly, "Don't act indiscriminately, you are just going to join the army, and you don't really want to fight. Who on this earth would dare to fight the US military."
Thompson smiled and made no excuse.
Le Xia turned around suddenly, "Where's Parker?"
"It was gone before the game started."
