Chapter 181 The Examination Before Parting
Being away from his idol, Neil felt that these ten days passed too quickly, blinking, opening his eyes, one day just passed by.

This inevitably made Neil a little sentimental. He was afraid that after meeting this time, he would not be able to see each other for many years. However, he did not show it on his face at all, but actively followed Michael Jordan's activity arrangements.

It’s just that this kind of sentimentality became more and more obvious with the end of the North Carolina State University journey, but he still tried his best to control his emotions, happily enjoying every day with his idol, maybe at a certain second, a certain sentence of his Words, a certain story he tells, can change a lifetime.

He endured this sentimental emotion until the last day of his journey with his idol in Chicago. On this day, Neal didn't even dare to look at Michael Jordan, for fear that he would tell the Chicago Bulls' special car driver to take them away. Sent back safely, Neil thought, if he heard such words, his tears would burst down like a meteor shower.

Although Neil didn't dare to look at Michael Jordan, his eyes would still stare at the idol's strong body and smiling face from time to time, but when Michael Jordan looked back, Neil would Dodge, continue to shoot on the court where Michael Jordan is now playing.

This arena not only has a unique exterior design, but also has an exquisite interior. The ground is all high-quality solid wood floors, the backboard brackets, the basket and backboards are the most solid, the latest on the market, specially built for the team, the arena The stands are also very large and can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Sometimes Neil can’t help but have a picture in his mind, that is, one day, he will also have the opportunity to stand in the center of such an arena to make his debut, and then he will start his life like an idol. That would be a great honor.

Michael Jordan also saw a trace of melancholy in Neil's eyes. No matter how Neil concealed this melancholy, he could convey it so clearly, but Michael Jordan could guess that Neil was thinking about it at this moment. What, but he can't go to give him a hug, can't pat him on the shoulder, comfort him a few words, because Michael Jordan is afraid that once he makes such a move, Neil's eyes will be blurred immediately, which is something that everyone has. This is a normal state, and everyone can't stay out of it in the face of the upcoming parting.

Michael Jordan saw that Neil's gaze was getting darker and darker, so he had to try his best to divert Neil's gaze. While instructing the other [-] fans, he thought about it, and suddenly he had this idea in his mind, so he looked around. Neil said: "Neil, come here, I have a new task to arrange for you."

Neil heard Michael Jordan calling, and walked back and forth with an optimistic smile: "What's the matter, brother Jordan?"

"I want to see what useful things you've actually learned these days."

"Then what do I need to do?" Neil was stunned by the vague question from the idol, because he didn't seem to understand what he had learned not only in basketball, but also in the spiritual level, so he asked a question.

"Go to another court with you and show me three-pointers, mid-range shots, driving layups and dunks, ten times each."

"Okay, Brother Jordan!"

Neal followed Michael Jordan to another court, and Michael Jordan smiled and nodded and passed the ball to Neal.

Neil took the ball, nodded towards the idol, held the basketball tightly with both hands, stood outside the three-point line and stared at the rebound, the basket for a while, took off coherently, leaned back, and made a three-point shot. basket, and did not enter.

Seeing that he didn't make a shot, Michael Jordan hurried to pick up the ball for him, and said: "It's okay, keep going, come on! The touch is found in the continuous shots."

Neil nodded, continued to catch the ball passed by Michael Jordan, took off again, and shot backwards. This time, the feeling of his hand was slightly warmer, and the second shot was made. Michael Jordan picked up the ball and passed it for him. After giving him, applaud and cheer for him.

At this moment, all the worries in Neil's heart have disappeared, and he is not in the mood to think about the upcoming parting with Michael Jordan. Instead, he devotes himself to shooting the ball, because the idol picks up the ball for himself. What kind of treatment, you must perform well, just leave a good impression in front of your idol before parting.

As expected, Neil did not fail Michael Jordan, let alone himself. He made ten three-pointers and hit seven goals. To Neil, he was fairly stable, but to Michael Jordan, he was simply excellent. .

Neil made a mid-range shot for the second item, and he didn't simply choose a standing jumper, but instead dribbled the ball to collect the ball, and made a fade-away jumper. He took ten shots and hit eight goals.

Seeing such a good shooting percentage, Michael Jordan picked up the ball for him and passed it to him skillfully, then applauded for him to play.

Next, Neal made a breakthrough layup, and left the dunks that he was not very skilled and did not know much at the end. On the one hand, he saved his energy. On the other hand, he hoped that after the dunk, he also hoped that his idol would give him guidance. After all, the idol is the slam dunk king. Naturally, he is impeccable in dunking, and his movements are so coherent and graceful that there is nothing to say.

Neil's breakthrough is very interesting. He also felt that it was a bit impolite to let his idol pick up the ball for him all the time. After he made two breakthrough layups, he said to his idol: "Brother Jordan, I will take the next ball by myself." Just pick it up yourself, you are too tired, take a rest, just watch me from the side, watch me break through, watch me buckle, if there is any room for improvement in posture and movement, if you give me a little bit of criticism, I will Thank you so much.”

"Okay, then be careful!"

Neil nodded and saw Michael Jordan smiling and retreating to the sidelines to watch.

Neil continued to make breakthrough layups. Next, he did not use simple breakthrough jumpers and throws, but showed difficult movements, layups, powerful loops and pull-up layups, right hand in the air for left hand The basket, the backhand does not look at the basket and pulls the bar for a layup...the movement is graceful, and the perception of the basket is extremely high, the shooting rate is extremely high, and five of ten balls are hit. This performance makes Michael Jordan very happy. Every time he breaks through The ball will applaud him.

Neal went on to perform the last task that the idol told him, dunking ten times.

Neil holds the ball and looks at the backboard. After dribbling left and right with the ball in his right hand, he dribbles the ball coherently with his right hand and downhill.

Just after Neil finished the dunk, Michael Jordan clapped his hands and said, "This dunk is really good. It's wild and aggressive. Keep going!"

"Um……"

As soon as Neil responded with a smile, he dribbled the ball for the second dunk, dribbled it near the free throw line, threw the ball up, and made a dunk after catching it.

When Michael Jordan saw this ball, he was frightened by Neil's amazing bounce. With a height of 1.9 meters, he actually played such a move. The pre-parting assessment.

Neal went on to stage dunks that far surpassed his peers, two of which were given to him by his father, throwing the ball to hit the backboard, catching the ball for a dunk, and another dunk by folding. He dunked with his own thoughts. One of the balls was a right one-handed reverse dunk and a right-handed dribble from a zero-degree angle. After two or even three dunks, he finally made the dunk. He scored five out of ten dunks, and the overall feeling for Neal was pretty good.

Among them, when Neil dunked the ball, everyone was attracted to him. When Neil failed to dunk a goal, they all hugged their heads in amazement and clapped for him.

After Neil dunked, Michael Jordan gave him advice: "Neil, you are very good, your talent is also different from ordinary people, your ideas are quite unique, and you have insights, but if you can strengthen your bounce, you can use some The dunk action is done more gracefully."

"Okay, Brother Jordan!"

Michael Jordan looked at Neil with a slight smile, and patted him on the shoulder lightly. The implication of this move was that he was quite satisfied with his performance just now. This was also the impression Neil left on him before he left. He also gained a deeper understanding of Neil's skills and basketball talent through a simple pre-parting assessment. In the end, Neil gave him the answer: Sure enough, he saw the right person.

I hope to make persistent efforts and go further and further on the road of basketball.
