Chapter 136 Recommend Derby
After the awards were presented, Lavender came to Neil from the crowd and looked at Neil with a very happy smile on his face: "Neil, congratulations on winning the league MVP."

Neil said thank you, then stared at Lavender and said, "Lavender, I'm hungry, let's go, have dinner, after dinner, I want to borrow your mobile phone to call my parents."

Originally, Lavender wanted to remind him just now, but he also said so, nodded in relief, waved to his teammates and coach with Neil, and left with a smile.

Neil didn't want to cause public outrage, so he took the league MVP trophy back to the dormitory and put it away.

After dinner, Neil called home. His parents were very happy when they heard that Neil had won the high school league championship and that he had won the league MVP. They suddenly felt that today was a good day, and they usually had almost no money to buy it. Luis and Nuana, who ate steak, decided to have a steak to celebrate this beautiful day.

Neil may not have paid close attention to Derby's expression. In fact, from the moment the chairman mentioned Neil in Derby's speech today, a kind of anxiety arose in Derby's mind. He was afraid that the existence of Neil would prevent him from participating in this year's National Youth Basketball Tournament. Later, when the principal invited Neil to share his story with basketball in front of media friends, Derby was worried and anxious. When they presented the awards, Neil was not there, so he guessed that he should be the MVP of the league. Sure enough, Neal was really the MVP of the league, which made Derby quite worried and anxious, and his face became even more ugly.

Derby is particularly worried that Neil is unreliable, afraid that what he said before will not be fulfilled. After all, in the face of interests and selfish desires, there is no one who does not want to drag himself into his hands. However, Derby is just a hypothesis, speculation, and no basis for the time being. Well, speaking of Neil in this way, unless this situation really happens, then it proves that Neil is no different from that kind of villain, and he can only blame himself for being too naive at the beginning.

Because of this situation, Derby had to wait a little longer. What should he do when he saw the confirmation list from the sports committee?
After so many years of hard work, Neil finally won an individual award. All the previous awards were team awards, and the final honors belonged to the school. However, it was because of those previous team awards and his unremitting efforts that he won this award today. The high school league MVP laid the groundwork.

Therefore, seeing that his dedication and hard work finally got a little bit of reward and return, Neil was not complacent, but continued to run at night and continue special training.

Even though the cold wind blows his face numb and makes him shiver, he still perseveres. Tired and numb from the cold, he shouts loudly to the sky, continues to take a deep breath, practice touching heights, practicing Shooting, whenever he heard the sound of thumping when he touched the set height, and the sound of swishing when he shot a ball from no angle, he would look at Lavender silly smile.

Because the time between him and Lavender is fully scheduled every day, it feels that the time is extremely fast every day. In the blink of an eye, the high school league has ended for a week, and the national youth basketball game is about to start.

On a new Monday, after the extremely cold morning, this day finally ushered in the warm sun that everyone longed for at noon. Everything seemed to be in such a warm sun, and they seemed to be in a particularly good mood. The branches and leaves of the plants were shining, and the eyes of animals There was a light of joy in his eyes, and not only his eyes were shining with joy, but his face was also shining with light.

And when school was about to end at noon that day, Neil was notified to go to the gymnasium and Derby after school to participate in this year's National Youth Basketball Tournament. The Alexandria City Sports Committee will vote for the two of them, and the one with the most votes will go to participate. National Youth Basketball Tournament this year.

When Neil heard that the quota had been set for the two of them by default, an inexplicable worry crept into his heart. He was afraid that he would be selected, because he had told Derby before that he would be allowed to participate in the competition this year, and then he would perform well and fight for it. After entering the top ten basketball schools in the country, two years later, I also went to his high school to study, and the two played together.

Now that I have made this decision, if the judges vote later and I win, I will also abstain and give this opportunity to Derby. Of course, it is best for him to win, because then I can congratulate him openly.

When Neil hurried to the gymnasium, he saw that the judges and Derby were ready, so he apologized and said: "I'm sorry, judges, I'm late because I have a class, sorry!"

"It's okay, Neil! Studies are still important!"

Neil nodded with a smile, and replied, "Thank you for understanding!"

Neil looked at Derby standing next to him, his face was gloomy, as if he was very unhappy. Neil couldn't guess what happened to Derby. Ignore him, and he always doesn't play with me during training in the afternoon. What's wrong with him?
Seeing that both of them were present, the main judge teacher looked at the other four judges and said with a smile, "Since they are both here, let's vote!"

The other four judges and teachers nodded and stared straight at Neil and Derby. After staring for a while, they quickly wrote Neil and Derby on the two business cards. If there is no name on the business card, it means no Recommended, then, to stand up and finish Neil's ballot box first, then Derby's.

After the selection, in order to practice the principle of fairness, the main judge teacher wrote Neil on one and Derby on the other, because he knew very well that both of them were excellent, and he did not agree with the other four judges. Who did the teacher recommend?Who will win?So, he brought Neil and Derby's ballot boxes over, and he still turned the business card like the other four judges and teachers, with the side with the name on it facing Neil and Derby.

Neil didn't pay much attention to it, but he still stared at the ballot box intently.

And Derby seemed to be very concerned about this opportunity. His heart was pounding, his eyes were fixed on the ballot box, his right fist was half clenched, and he was sweating coldly in winter.

The chief judge teacher picked up Neil's ballot box with his left hand and Derby's ballot box with his right hand, and shook them vigorously. Then, he grabbed the votes from each ballot box and counted them.

Derby, who was on the sidelines, watched Neil vote carefully, and found that none of them had been drawn.

Afterwards, he stared at his vote again and found that one had been drawn. Derby suddenly panicked for no reason.

The teacher of the main judge looked at Derby and sighed slightly, "I'm sorry, Derby! You lost the election! You can see your voting results for yourself!"

Derby glanced at Neil, and suddenly wanted to cry, but as a man, he had to accept this fact firmly, so he forced a smile, walked over and picked up his voting result, and it turned out to be four votes.

"Neil, congratulations..."

Before the main judge could say: Congratulations on being selected, Neil hurriedly interrupted and said, "Teacher, I abstain, please give Derby this chance, I beg you, he is better than me in every aspect, And he will be in the graduation season in the new year, you know, this is very important to him, he has always had the same wish as me, that is to enter the top ten basketball schools in the country, and I still have a chance, he only has this chance gone."

When Derby heard this, he was very moved. He didn't expect that Neil was a person who kept his promise and kept his word, but suddenly he didn't want to go. He looked at Neil and smiled gratifiedly: "Neil, it's still a good idea. You go, I'm fine!"

"Derby, I don't want to talk about it if I'm a brother. I want you to go this time. I can work hard again in the next year. Besides, I don't have any shortcomings in height and other aspects this year, so don't say it!"

After listening to their conversation, the main judge teacher and the other four judge teachers also took a look at Derby. It is true that Derby is worth cultivating. Like Derby and Neil, they have been high school basketball judges and teachers for so many years, and this is the first time they have encountered such a situation. It is indeed too difficult to grow a kid who is not selfish.If you don’t fulfill him, he will feel guilty, but if you fulfill him, he will be very happy. Therefore, the five judges stared at Neil and smiled. In order to ensure that Neil did not make this decision on impulse, they asked again: " Neil, are you sure you abstain?"

Niels nodded hurriedly without thinking about it.

"Okay, then we will give this spot to Derby, we believe he will always remember you as a brother."

"Thank you five judges!"

"No, it's your sincerity that moved us."

Judge Neil said so, suddenly he didn't know what to say, he just scratched his head and smiled silly.

Derby on the side was quite moved after hearing this, turned around, faced Neil, bit his lips, and hugged Neil: "Brother, thank you! I will definitely not let you down, I will definitely treat my heart well." second chance."

"I believe in you, brother!" Neil patted Derby on the back.

The five judges and teachers sitting in front of them saw this scene, and their eyes were inexplicably shining with stars. They once thought that it was possible for them to be high school basketball judges for the rest of their lives, but it was impossible for them to see someone give up their places in the National Youth Basketball Competition. When I came out, I didn’t expect to see them after working for more than ten years. It seems that God still treats them differently.
