Chapter 163 Jordan Summer Camp Activities

Neil was very happy at the thought of dunking, but he was still afraid of this lonely and boring summer vacation. Maybe his parents would not have time to accompany him. When he thought of this, he felt a little scared, but there was no way. I'm here, besides there is still a small ball, and I don't know many dunk moves. I can only take off and dunk with one move and three steps, and I don't know the rest. You can take advantage of this vacation to learn how to dunk.

Although Neil hurt and offended Lavender that day, he unexpectedly awakened the god of basketball with a simple kiss. , a little bit of self-blame and blaming myself, but people have to move forward, since they have chosen to let go temporarily, why bother to make a mess of big things if they can't bear it?
Based on this consideration, with the help of the small ball, after dunking exhaustedly, he can basically dunk the ball into the hoop as long as the take-off height is high enough, but he can only do this one-arm gliding dunk with his right hand, and the rest I don't know all of them yet, but this trick is basically a good one.

When Neil felt that he was quite proficient in this trick because he dunked more than 100 times and was complacent, Xiao Qiu kindly reminded Neil that he still had a lot to learn, for example: left-handed dunks, two-handed dunks, etc. Dunks, 360-degree swivel dunks, hand-changing dunks, folding dunks, backhand dunks...

Neil was dizzy when he heard this series of professional slam dunks, but after hearing what Xiao Qiu said, he was instantly humbled a lot. He also believed that he was still young, only 16 years old, and he would definitely learn a lot of basketball if he practiced harder. Skill, but now I can't jump anymore, I can't buckle anymore, if I do it again, if I get hurt, I will go home immediately, I can't explain to my parents, so I have to hold the ball, close my eyes slightly, and stare blankly. Immediately, feeling the cool summer wind rushing towards his sweaty body, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of coolness, and this bit of coolness seemed to come from the departed Lavender, he bit his lip, looked around, the stadium was almost There were also few people, probably most of them had gone home. He looked up at the sky, but there was a white cloud floating in the blue sky, and that white cloud was also drifting in the direction of Lavender's departure. He didn't dare to look up at it, so he lowered his head abruptly, staring straight ahead, staring blankly for a while, holding his beloved ball and leaving.

The little ball held by Neil with one hand also seemed to see something from the owner's expression and eyes, but he couldn't express that expression and eyes. In short, he was sometimes strong, sometimes timid, and sometimes hesitant and tangled. Sometimes he was resolute and decisive, but in the end Neil took a steady and hasty step, making Xiaoqiu secretly happy, there was no need to say anything more, he could solve it, deal with his inner concerns, and then set off.

After Neil packed his luggage, he took the slum ride and went back to the slum.

Neil rushed home in the evening, and his parents had just returned home not long before dinner was ready. Neil yelled at the door a few times, and Louis heard his son come back, and hurried to open the door.

Neil put the ball and luggage in a corner, looked at his father excitedly and said, "Dad, I can dunk!"

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"Nuana, come out, look at our son, he has grown so tall, and he said he can dunk." Louis was very excited after hearing this, and said to Nuana in the kitchen.

When Nuana heard these words, as Neil's mother, her face was filled with a happy and joyful smile, and she brought out the baked bread she had made.

When she saw that her son had grown to her husband's ear, she was instantly amazed and handed the plate with bread in her hand to Louis, walked towards her son with a smile on her face, and hugged him with open arms Say: "Son, you have grown taller again, Mom is so happy, I love you!"

"Mom, I love you too. I miss you very much at school, especially when I went out last semester, I was very moved after reading the photo frame and the message I left. Sometimes I want you to make a phone call, but I don’t have a mobile phone. , training and courses are tight, so I have been looking forward to the holiday." Neil said with tears in his eyes.

Nuana patted Neil on the back lightly and said, "It's okay, son, as long as you understand the good intentions of your parents."

"By the way, you must be hungry after driving such a long distance. Eat some bread. You are growing your body now, and you exercise so much every day because of basketball." In order to divert Neil's attention, Nuana said, Just gently pushed him away, pointed to the bread in Louis's hand and continued.

After hearing what his wife said, Louis picked up a piece of bread from the plate and handed it to Neil: "Boy, the bread baked by your mother is getting better and better, try it!"

Neil took the bread from his father and started to eat it. Nuana looked at her son and her husband and went back to the kitchen to cook. Neil took a few bites of the bread and sat down on the sofa.

Seeing that his son had returned, Louis could apologize to Neil for him and Nuana, and then turned on the TV. Then, he put the dinner plate on the coffee table and sat down on the sofa.

Just as Louis was about to speak, the TV was still on the sports channel, and it was still rebroadcasting the finals between the Chicago Bulls and the Lakers led by Michael Jordan.

Neil suddenly recalled that his father and mother promised him that they would take him to watch the finals every year in the future, but now the time for the finals has passed, and the replay has already started on TV.

Looking at this scene, Neil suddenly felt a sense of loss and caught a cold for no reason. He turned his head to look at his father, and didn't say anything, but continued to stare at the figure of Michael Jordan on TV. .

As he watched, he applauded every time the Bulls scored a goal, and Louis, who was on the side, followed his son to applaud his idol.

After the father and son applauded, you looked at me and smiled silly, and I looked at you and smiled silly.

But the more this happened, the more Louis felt that he owed his son, no matter how many difficulties he had, he should confess this matter to his son, so Louis turned his eyes from the TV to his son and said, "Boy, I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, Dad!" Neil heard his father's apology, and knew what it was for. Seeing that his father was so honest, he turned his head to respond to his father.

"Actually, your mother and I really wanted to watch today's NBA Finals with you, but we thought that you just had a final test in those few days, so we dismissed that idea." Louis explained the reason.

"Dad, it's nothing. I'm just watching the live broadcast?" Neil looked at his father and said with a silly smile.

Although Neil was still a little turbulent in his heart, thinking of his parents, for themselves and for the sake of the family, in addition to maintaining the family's expenses every day, they also had to think about saving money and paying tuition fees for the upcoming sophomore year. They were also struggling. If you go to watch the live broadcast of the NBA Finals, it will not make things worse.

Hearing what his son said, Louis still felt a little guilty in his heart, so he decided to make up for Neil's shortcoming, and said to Neil, "Boy, to express the apology of Mom and Dad, I saw something on the sports channel yesterday. The news said that Michael Jordan will come to the Alexandria Sports Center this summer to hold a summer camp solicitation event. I discussed it with your mother and sent you to try it. The news report said that each person only needs 300 US dollars."

Neil was very interested at first, but when he heard 300 dollars, he shook his head at his father and said, "I'm not going..."

"Boy, are you worried about money?"

Neil quickly lied and made excuses and said, "Dad, I want to practice dunking. I'm not interested in participating in summer camps. Besides, I don't think I'm qualified enough to meet my idol—Michael Jordan. .”

As a father, what is in his son's heart and he still can't see it?At the beginning, Neil's eyes were shining with hope, and then his face suddenly changed when he heard 300 dollars, but he was afraid that he would see his eyes, so he turned it to the finals that were still going on fiercely on TV. He was very happy to see his son know how to empathize and think for his parents.

However, Louis does not seem to feel bad about the $300.
