Chapter 11 I Really Like Basketball



"Well, I really like basketball." After looking at his aunt shyly, Stephen scratched and admitted embarrassedly. Aunt must not like it very much, just look at her reaction.

"Do what you like, maybe you really have the talent in this area and become a basketball star." Shi Xianghua recalled what Benjamin said in Benjamin's office.

Benjamin told Shi Xianghua that Stephen has a very talented body for basketball. He was born with the material to play basketball, but his foundation is weaker. I hope that after returning, he can be urged to exercise well. If possible, it is best to invite him for a training session. division.

Please do not invite a trainer, Shi Xianghua is also afraid that Stephen is only 3 minutes hot, and he can't stand the pain of training, or the basics will be like this, but it is time to build a basketball court for him at home, so that he can exercise at home .

Shi Xianghua took Stephen to a sports equipment store, which sells basketballs, sneakers, jerseys and other sports equipment. Shi Xianghua asked Stephen to choose according to his own preferences. Of course, Stephen chose the Jordan series. In the end, Stephen Seeing that Shi Xianghua helped him purchase a set of expensive basketball hoops, he couldn't help but stop him.

"Auntie, I'd better buy that one." Stephen naturally said embarrassedly, fearing that he could not control the force and damage such an expensive basketball stand.

"That is outdoors. If it is built outside, the sound of your exercise will affect others. Although my aunt is a lawyer, she doesn't want to litigate with others casually." Shi Xianghua knew that Stephen didn't understand this, so he patiently explained to Stephen.

"But if you install it at home, won't it affect your quietness, aunt?" Stephen then realized that the rich area is not like the neighborhood where he lives. Even if it is a little disturbed occasionally, no one will sue it in court.

"During construction, the whole room will be equipped with soundproofing materials, and it won't affect me. Don't worry, my Stephen." Feeling his nephew's thoughtfulness, Shi Xianghua felt warm in his heart. Originally, he planned to let Stephen pay for this time. He happily took out his own card and swiped it.

Back home with big and small bags of sports preparations, Stephen hugged the basketball and slept all night. The next day, the staff from the sports equipment store came to install the basketball hoop, and Stephen stayed at home. What? Don't do it, just practice your own basketball.

Stephen soon discovered that as long as his body is not exerting force, his body is still the same as usual, but as long as he exerts force, he will involuntarily use much more force. The most basic skill of fixed-point shooting alone can basically reach [-]% in the past. Left and right, now even [-]% can't be reached, let alone the others.

His shots were inaccurate, his dunks were not good at bouncing, and he couldn't control his pace for layups. No matter how much Stephen practiced, he couldn't return to the feeling of handyness before. Although basketball was still so familiar, his body was completely different from before.

Shi Xianghua came over occasionally, seeing Stephen like this, thought he was at this level, and did not say anything against him, but asked Stephen if he needed to hire a basketball coach, but Stephen shook his head and refused.

I just couldn't adapt to the original memory physically, and I heard that hiring a basketball coach would cost several hundred dollars an hour, Stephen also felt a little distressed, I practiced well without a coach, why should I ask someone to earn my own money, my own Parents work hard all day and sometimes earn less than a few hundred dollars.

On this day, Shi Xianghua thought that Stephen's application for admission had been approved, and school would start in a few days. He couldn't let Stephen go to school in his old clothes. Judging people by their appearance is a common problem of all human beings, so he took Stephen out to buy some clothes.

But when she stood in front of Stephen and straightened Stephen's clothes, she suddenly found that Stephen, who was only a little taller than herself, had to raise his head a little to meet her. She couldn't help asking in surprise, "Have you grown taller again?"

"No?" Stephen didn't feel much. His height stopped growing when he was 14 years old. How could he grow taller? But in the past few days, I really feel that the clothes are a little tight, and the shoes are a bit constricted, but Stephen Still standing on top of the height measuring device.

"How tall are you?" Shi Xianghua was both relieved and sad when he saw Stephen, who was handsome and handsome in a new suit (purely subjective), all the men in his family had a very similar face, especially But Stephen's age was about the same as his uncle's. Seeing Stephen, Shi Xianghua felt as if he saw his second brother.

"1.8 meters..." Stephen was about to answer, when he suddenly saw the number on it, he stopped in surprise, 1.9 meters, in just a few days, he has grown by five centimeters, Stephen hurriedly looked around to avoid being caught When specimen sectioning research.

"It's really long? The restaurant owner in your family will starve you. I'll call you later and say that your father has given you a meal. Did he abuse you at home? Why did you grow up within a few days after coming to my place?" Shi Xianghua looked at When Stephen really grew up, he couldn't help saying angrily, what's wrong with this brother, he doesn't even let the children eat enough, no wonder Stephen has to eat four of his own meals.

"It's not that my dad doesn't let me eat, it might be secondary development." Stephen naturally wouldn't let his aunt really trouble his father, but his body is really getting weirder and weirder, so he must be careful not to let others find out.

"Aren't you able to wear the sneakers and jersey you bought a few days ago? Let's go buy a few more in a while, as well as the clothes you picked this time, and buy them one size bigger." Taking care of Stephen's life, This is what Shi Xianghua cares most about recently. Once a person has a responsibility, he actually thinks less about things, and even illnesses seem to occur less and less.

After buying some sports equipment for Stephen, Shi Xianghua took Stephen to Chinatown to have a Chinese meal. He only ordered three dishes and one soup. The taste was not as authentic as his father’s. It cost $78, plus a tip. One hundred dollars, when I have money later, I don’t know if it’s feasible to take over my father from Charlotte and open a Chinese restaurant here?Stephen thought about it while eating, and suddenly thought that his future is still unknown, is he going to settle in Los Angeles?Besides, the confidant's serious problem has not been resolved, so it is better not to involve the parents. As for the aunt, she is a barrister, no one should dare to do anything to her, and it is unknown what disease she has and how long she can live.

I still stay here and go to school to play basketball while taking good care of my aunt. If I am found out, I will run away if I can, and if I can’t escape, I will be arrested, so as not to hurt my relatives.

"What are you thinking about? By the way, your father is just such a son, and he sent you here as soon as he said it. Are you making trouble over there and always causing him trouble?" Shi Xianghua frowned when he saw Stephen thinking. Frowning, looking preoccupied, he deliberately opened his mouth to attract his attention, and at the same time asked him what was going on.

My elder brother doesn't have a lot of children, just such a precious son, why did I send it to myself as soon as I mentioned it, you said you don't want to kiss this son, and you kept yelling left and right on the phone. If you want to say kiss, why don't you even hesitate? He sent it over without hesitation, even though he knew it was good for the child, but he is not a decisive person.

"Auntie, let's go home and I'll tell you that it's inconvenient here." Stephen looked around, although there was no one in the restaurant, and no one knew him, but to be on the safe side, it's better to go home.

"Okay, let's eat first." Shi Xianghua knew at a glance that there was something to do, so he stopped asking.

The two returned home quickly after eating, and then Shi Xianghua called Stephen to his work room, took out a pen and a recording pen, and looked as if he was facing an enemy. Seeing Stephen's surprised look, he smiled awkwardly He smiled: "Professional habits, tell me." However, he was still ready to record at any time, and at the same time the recorder was turned on.

"It turned out to be like this. No wonder your father sent you here so quickly. You are quite clever. Your father told you about your uncle?" After hearing what Stephen said, Shi Xianghua sneered, Thinking about the past again, no wonder this elder brother was so cruel and willing to send his son here.

"If you continue to stay there, although you may not be silenced directly, those policemen will definitely attack you. Maybe they will die in the police station just like your uncle. You are right to come here. In the future It’s okay, don’t go back to Charlotte casually, just like your father said, you have to be a rich person and a person of status, in this case no one dares to deal with you casually, although your father knows this truth, but the direction of efforts No, it will be like that even if you work for the rest of your life.”

Taking a look at Stephen, Shi Xianghua was also a little embarrassed about Stephen's future. It was easy for him to enter the lawyer industry with his own status, but it was very difficult to make a big development. After all, lawyers need very rich legal knowledge and very good skills. Eloquence, but looking at Stephen's appearance, it seems that he doesn't have it. Forget it, it depends on his preferences.

"Since you like basketball so much, work hard in this direction. Even if you don't become a professional player, at least you won't regret it. But you have to study hard in school. You won't suffer from learning more knowledge. At the same time, you will have a good relationship with your classmates. In California, if you only want students from Southern University, at least finding an ordinary job is not a problem.”

"Well, I know." It's not that Stephen has never thought about becoming a basketball star who enjoys the appeal of thousands of people, but he also knows how big the gap between dreams and reality is, and no one knows how many basketball talents there are in high schools and universities in the United States, but There are only so many people who can join the NBA every year, and their own skills are just playing on the streets, not to mention the basketball team of the University of North Carolina, even the people from St. Atalpa High School, they are not opponents, let alone their own The body has become like this.

"The day after tomorrow is the start of school. You can drive to report by yourself, and I won't send you off." Feeling a little tired, Shi Xianghua handed some materials to Stephen and went upstairs to rest, leaving Stephen to look at the materials After thinking for a long time, he picked up the basketball and walked up to the training room.
