you are all star

Chapter 128 The Shadow of the Magician
After some boys in the class did this to Neil that day, he was hurt and angry.

But all this not only did not weaken his fighting spirit, but made his heart stronger. He had already said in front of the whole class that he wanted to prove himself. If he couldn't do it, he would naturally not make such a promise. , because if you say this kind of promise, if you don't practice it, you will be slapped in the face.

And some students in the class who were never optimistic about Neil just waited to see Neil make jokes in the semi-finals of the high school league.

In order to prove his dream and his liking for basketball, Neil should not be trampled on, and based on some classmates in the class, he tore up the portrait of Magic Johnson he worked so hard to draw and threw it into the trash can. An impulse emerged, that is, in the semi-finals of the high school league, he used Magic Johnson's classic moves to pay tribute to him, in order to express that some students trampled on their idols and trampled on themselves.

In order to learn a little bit of Magic Johnson's moves, Neil started from the afternoon when he was humiliated, relying on Magic Johnson's fifty classic dribbles and passing highlights that he had watched more than ten times in the coffee shop the night before. , and began to use memory to guide the training of the limbs.

Ryan Kawhi and his teammates felt very strange, why did he suddenly play such a familiar yet unfamiliar move?Moreover, it connected his previous movements with this kind of movements that he seemed to have seen somewhere, quite graceful, quite chic postures and movements, everyone thought he was stimulated by something, because after fusing other moves , his shooting percentage dropped, and when Ryan Kawhi organized them to play halftime and full court, he made repeated mistakes. This made Ryan Kawhi and his teammates very puzzled, and they had to guess wildly in their hearts. What's wrong?Why such a sudden adjustment?
On the first afternoon, Neil used Magic Johnson's extraordinary moves, and he couldn't even pass Lavender, and even he felt awkward shooting the ball, and his shooting percentage was extremely low.

Ryan Kawhi, Derby and his teammates wanted to talk about him, but seeing him work so hard, even though he was sweating profusely, everyone asked him to rest, and he was still working hard. When this scene happened, all of them He had no choice but to take back the words on the edge of his mouth.

When everyone looked at Neil in disappointment and shook their heads, Lavender stood aside, picked up the ball for him, and encouraged him: "Neil, come on, you can do it!"

With Lavender's encouragement and support, Neil survived the first day with difficulty under everyone's suspicious eyes.

The next day everything was different. Everything started to go in a good direction. Neil was able to change directions and break through slowly using some of Magic Johnson's moves, and his shooting percentage was also improving, but his mistakes were still very special. Many, but he is still very happy in his heart, because he has improved and his hit rate has begun to pick up.

Lavender, who was assisting him in his practice, would jump up and applaud him every time he made a ball, cheering for him. From yesterday afternoon when Neil could hardly break through, to this afternoon she was able to break through. She knew very well that Neil was making rapid progress.

Seeing that the time for the semi-finals of the high school league is getting closer, and Ryan Kawhi has a very low shooting rate for his sudden change of style of play, and he is a little disappointed. However, he still firmly believes in his heart that Neil used to learn to play What is in his mind has already taken root, and he will never forget it in this life. If he can really integrate Magic Johnson's movements through hard work, then he will be even more invincible, and will be more difficult to defend and deal with. However, Magic Teacher Johnson's movements are not so easy to learn. When he started practicing, he felt that the movements and postures he trained were very familiar, like the movements of an NBA star, but I couldn't see them because they were not formed. After a few days of training, it finally reminded me of the actions of Magic Johnson. I hope that he let us see the shadow of Magic Johnson in the semifinals and finals of the high school league.

Neil is busy with training and exercising every day. One day passed in a blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the first day of the semi-finals in their gymnasium.

On the afternoon of the first day, they still played first, two-two duels, and the final winners played in the high school league finals.

The final four are Alexander University Affiliated High School, Petersburg High School, Moore High School, and Dirk High School.

And Neil and the others will be facing last year's champion --- Dirk High School. This high school has a long history, only ten years later than Neil attended this high school. This high school's basketball atmosphere has always prevailed. , can reach the quarter-finals every year, and has won eight high school league championships in school history, ranking second in the list of championships, second only to the fifteen times of the Alexander University Affiliated High School where Neil studied. Therefore, this high school They have met in the semi-finals and finals three times in school history. In the semi-finals, the High School Affiliated to Alexander University had the upper hand and had two wins and one loss against them. However, they met in the finals and only won against them once. Therefore, The strength is quite strong. Every year in the graduation season, I can see the pearls with discerning eyes and meet one or two players with different basketball talents than ordinary people.

After everything was ready, the game was about to start after the referee's whistle sounded, and there was a sudden commotion off the field. The players on both sides were still undergoing regular plastic surgery without much change. They were basically the starting players in front. The game officially started, and the two sides played a jump ball In the end, Derby jumped a little higher and picked the ball to Neil, because the opponent's center was physically stronger and didn't bounce as well as Derby, who was about the same height.

After Neil jumped up and received the jump ball picked by Derby, he organized the offense. After a wave of passing the ball, his teammates didn't make any shots, which meant that Neal had to solve the first ball by himself.

So, Neil looked at the stopwatch, and there were only four seconds left. He chose to rush, and he used his usual dribble, coupled with Magic Johnson's deceitful feint, to pass the opponent's point guard, and the opponent's When the center defended, Neil received the ball, lowered his center of gravity, and made three fake passes in a row, which made his teammates and opponents dizzy. Both teammates and opponents thought he was going to shoot, but he made a false pass. Facsimile shot, the ball went in after spinning twice on the basket.

All of a sudden, the audience became restless, with applause and screams. The group of boys in his class laughed at him. They all stood up, hugged their heads, applauded again, and said dumbfoundingly: "This is impossible, I have never seen him before." He has used the movements of a magician, it is impossible for him to do so coherently and gracefully in a short period of time."

Seeing the ball, Ryan Kawhi smiled with great relief, and said dumbly: "This kid is really a basketball genius. In just a few days, he was able to connect his movements with those of Magic Johnson. Incredible!"

Seeing that the goal actually went in, Neil couldn't believe it, but after two laps, it did go in. He retreated and gave his teammates high-fives to congratulate.

The opposing player was dumbfounded by Neil's classic move of the magician, which gave them an illusion, are we playing against the little magician again?It's so similar, and the action is too coherent.

The opponent's point guard organized an offense after receiving a pass from his teammate. Neil was defending while retreating. When he retreated near the three-point line, the opponent's guard seemed to avenge the play with the ball just now, and rushed towards Neil. He shot a three-pointer and the ball actually went in.

Everyone present applauded, with a very happy smile on their faces, which meant that it was a wonderful match!
After returning, Neil pretended not to pass the ball, and played back singles, but Neil, who had a sharp eye, saw that the opponent didn't pay attention to Leisen's running position and lost his position. Leaping over the head to pass to Leisen, Leisen made an easy layup.

At this time, everyone stood up, applauded, and shouted: "Neil, Neil... Thank you! Let us see that it is as if Magic Johnson has traveled to the gymnasium of the High School Affiliated to Alexander University. Let us I saw his shadow."

Hearing the voice echoing in his ears, Neil looked at everyone and smiled sincerely.

Lavender, who was next to Ryan Kawhi, looked at this scene, looked at Ryan Kawhi, with a sweet smile on his face, and said in surprise: "Teacher, Neil is really amazing!"

"Yeah, this kid is amazing. I can't think of an imitator. In just a few days, he can combine Magic Johnson's movements with his own basketball talent, and perform to the fullest, just like seeing Magic Johnson in real life. , every nuance is the shadow of a magician."

"Teacher, I have learned from Neil over the years that as long as you work hard, you will definitely gain something."

Ryan Kawhi looked at Lavender and smiled, like a loving father, nodded and patted her shoulder with his right hand.
