Chapter 117 Lavender Rejected

Neil originally thought that Lavender was just joking with himself last night. How could a girl like her who was spoiled and raised without any hardship suddenly want to exercise?

So, after school, I didn't say anything, just stared at Lavender for a while, because he was going to the gymnasium to practice, it seemed unrealistic to call Lavender at this moment, when he passed by her, quietly She said: "If what you said last night counts, see you on the playground every night, I will hold the ball and work hard with you, tasting the sweetness of sweat."

As soon as the words were finished, Neil turned around and walked out of the classroom. Lavender turned around and followed out without saying a word, expressing her attitude that she wanted to watch them train.

Neil nodded in relief, and looked at Lavender, who was dressed in casual clothes, which was not suitable for sports, so he said to her: "From now on, if you want to run and play with me every day, you can change into sports clothes by yourself after school." , so as to avoid injury as much as possible.”

After hearing this, Lavender didn't refute anything. Instead, she saw that the board on her body was indeed not suitable for exercising, so she nodded and let Neil go first, and she would arrive after changing into her sportswear.

Then Neal went to buy two bottles of water and food for two people, and then rushed to the gym.

Since he has to train every afternoon and the time is very tight, Neil always has to change into sports equipment before the afternoon class.

In this way, Lavender suddenly fell in love with sports and basketball. After school every afternoon, without Neil reminding her, she would always change her sports equipment first, and then she was very distracted. When Neil's training was about to end in the afternoon, he would always buy food for Neil, and since the first day, Neil was not allowed to buy any more. Neil had no choice but to let her buy it because he bought it. , Lavender will still buy it.

In this way, every afternoon at dusk and sunset, the two of them would always be seen eating and talking and laughing on the stone bench in the garden.

After eating, just after sunset and night fell, they started training.

In the beginning, after Lavender ran three or four laps, she stopped running and sat slumped on the football field. Neil didn't force her to continue, and wanted to give her a little time, but she thought of Neil's daily routine. After training in the gymnasium in the afternoon, she will come to the playground to run a few kilometers in the evening, touch heights, stretch, and repeatedly shoot from various angles. She has strength again and continues to run and persevere.

But sometimes my whole body is really sore and limp, I can’t run or jump, and I just sit on the spot, Neil didn’t say anything, just stretched out a hand, Lavender seems to have strength again, stand up and continue, hold on for a while Finally, he sat down again. Neil knew that everything is difficult at the beginning, and many people give up just because they find it difficult at the beginning.

Neil was also very afraid that Lavender would not be able to hold on, so he told him directly that he would give up. In desperation, Neil had to tell Lavender that when he was a child, he had repeatedly quarreled with his father and wanted to give up because of running at night. , Because of special training, I don’t know how many times I wanted to give up basketball and my dream, but in the end basketball brought me good luck again and again, and I have never been sick for so many years, so I gritted my teeth and persisted, shouting and moving forward every day , not for anything else, just because I like Michael Jordan, want to be like him, make money through basketball, get out of the slums, buy a house in downtown Alexandria, big enough to live in my parents, me and my lover, and the future One day we have children.

Therefore, once I am free every day, I feel confused about the future, and feel that it is difficult to earn the first dollar through basketball. Therefore, no matter how tired I am, no matter how sore or soft or painful my legs and feet are, I also believe that , I can’t die, and my parents often said in my ears that people can’t die from exhaustion, so I gritted my teeth, shouted, shouted, after one lap, two laps... after countless laps, I didn’t feel so tired. Tired, but I think this is a kind of enjoyment, and basketball, once, twice... After countless shots, I don't think it is difficult to get in, it is very difficult and painful.

After hearing his words, Lavender persisted on the first day, the second day, and the third day... After persisting for a week, I recalled the beginning, the first two or three nights, and returned to In the dormitory, I want to sit when I stand, and it hurts to lift my legs and hands, and I don’t even have the energy to go to bed.

But after Lavender's fourth night, when she returned to the dormitory, she felt less pain, with a happy smile on her face, because, as Neil said, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the pain will gradually ease as time goes on.

Neil thought that Lavender was far less fragile than he imagined, so easily defeated by difficulties, and felt very happy for her.

Neil went through these days, and Lavender was watching the game by the side of the gymnasium, as if he really wanted to train with him, so he asked Ryan Kawhi to let Lavender train with him and give them two extra rebounds, Ryan Kehuai saw that Neil has also improved in all indicators since this period of time. He guessed that it should be the factor of Lavender. He thought in his heart that it might not be possible. Great, so I agree.

Ryan Kawhi's move caused dissatisfaction among the team members, but none of them dared to speak out blatantly, but their hatred for Neil was intensifying and growing.

Seeing that his teacher agreed, Neil was very happy. After hearing this, Lavender was also very excited and happy.

In the sport of basketball, training techniques, two people defend one, one-on-one training, are too important.

Neil and Lavender did not occupy the basketball in the gymnasium either. His basketball was the one his father bought for him before. It was just that the two of them occupied a space in the gymnasium during the training period. But they found that their teammates looked at them a little strangely. It seemed that they were more envious of Neil, who practiced with such a beautiful girl, but the two of them still didn't pay much attention.

Neil continued to demonstrate various shooting postures and breakthrough skills to Lavender. From time to time, Lavender's shooting posture was not standard. When he was not used to his posture, he would personally fix the hand shape and posture for Lavender. Teammates, one by one Neither of them was interested in training, and they looked at the two of them from time to time, and their attention was always on Neil and Lavender. Seeing this scene, Wells and Derby couldn't bear to watch it, so they went directly to find Ryan who was sitting on the sidelines to supervise Kawhi, looking at the coach, pointed at Neil and Lavender, and whispered: "Coach, Neil and that girl are in the gym. This kind of one-on-one training, the teammates can't concentrate on training at all. You should ask them to change. place."

Ryan Kawhi looked at the two of them, and saw that he was training Neil Lavender very seriously: "The two of them occupy the backboard in the corner that they don't usually use, and the two of them don't occupy everyone's ball. , How can I go back on my word and not let a motivated girl practice here, and Neil has improved so much in all aspects recently, I guess that girl has played a catalytic role."

"Can……"

"Don't talk about it, the reason why you and the team members are not concentrating is mostly because of envy, jealousy and hatred. I can see it, but people are valued when they have self-knowledge. I don't want to chatter. Those who survive will survive, and those who are unsuitable will be eliminated. If you are disturbed by this beautiful girl in front of you, unable to calm down and concentrate on doing what you want to do, then you will eventually be a waste in the future."

"Coach, if you don't say it, let's talk about it." Wells and Derby stared at the coach and said rashly.

"You still think of me as a coach, you just listen to me, if you don't listen, it's up to you, you let them leave here, they will still find a place to train, this is the difference between people." Ryan Kawhi sighed Said in a sigh of relief.

Wells and Derby fell into deep thought, turned their heads to look at Neil and Lavender, and saw that Neil was saying to the extremely happy Lavender with a smile on his face: "Lavender, come on, break me alone, I will To break through you, remember, you can't let the water go, you have to defend yourself, show your strength at the junior high school graduation party."

"Ok!"

"You first!" Neil handed the ball to Lavender in a gentlemanly manner.

Lavender nodded, and began to stare at Neil's defense, and made a dribble breakthrough, but Neil moved quickly and his hands were also quite fast, and was easily broken by Neil, and Neil handed it to Lavender to let her continue to break through Layup until you make it.

Seeing this scene, Derby and Wells looked at the reactions of their teammates again, staring straight at Neil and Lavender.

Feeling very entangled in my heart, I was silent for a while, looked at each other, glanced at Ryan Kawhi, walked over as if ignoring what the teacher said, and scolded Lavender, "Which class are you a girl from? A girl, what are you doing here?" The excitement has prevented so many school team members from concentrating on practicing, we ask you to leave immediately, you are not welcome here."

Lavender immediately cried, covered his mouth, and ran out of the gymnasium. Neil glared at Derby and Wells angrily, hugged the ball his father bought for him, and chased him out.

Seeing this scene, Ryan Kawhi looked at Derby and Wells, and stared at the back of Neil running out in a hurry holding the ball. He sighed and shook his head. This move was extremely rare. There were layers of haze, as if he had foreseen something in his heart, his eyes were full of fear, as if it could be seen from his eyes that Neil seemed to be going away from him this time.
