Chapter 281 The Coach Tests Neil
Neil was dribbling and shooting the ball downstairs in the hospital, his mind was full of the image of Duncan abusing him, and the disappointed expressions of his parents.

But his heart told him that at this time, he had to face it calmly and overcome the restlessness in his heart, because just now his mother still said that he was not calm enough.

Neil tightly held the hand that was not dribbling, and shook his head vigorously, shaking off all the shadows in his mind so that they would no longer interfere with his heart.

Neil shook his head, readjusted his mentality, wiped the sweat off his forehead, looked up at the blue sky, and then at the backboard and the ring, dribbled the ball and played a jump shot, hit the board to catch the ball and make a dunk, Assault the basket with the ball, stage a one-arm split dunk with the right or left hand, advance and change hands for layups, drop shots, fadeaway jump shots, backhand layups, low-hand pull-up layups... Various moves, graceful movements, and physical coordination.

Neil came back to his mother's inpatient ward panting from practice. As soon as he opened the door, Louis couldn't wait to say to him: "Boy, your coach called just now and asked you to prepare for the game against the Heat tomorrow night." .”

"Got it, Dad! I haven't played in almost a week, and my hands are already itchy."

"Then you must cherish this opportunity."

"Cherish it, Dad!"

"Then you go to prepare again. It would be nice if your mother had me here. Does your mother look much better now?"

Neil nodded with a smile, and then said with a smile: "Dad, Mom, then I'll go get ready first."

"Go ahead, come on, if you want to see a ray of hope, you have to do your best, sweat for it, and have no complaints or regrets." The mother lying on the bed coughed, looked at Louis, and said to her son.

Neil nodded, turned around and clenched his fists, and trot away.

Because this opportunity is too important to Neil. Even though he doesn’t have much playing time, it’s better than no chance to play. Moreover, various unexpected accidents will always happen on the court. If you are accidentally injured in defense or offense, if you can perform well enough in the limited playing time, then the chances of being replaced will be greatly increased, and the chances of playing worthwhile will be there. Therefore, cherish every opportunity to play. For Neil in desperate situation, it is more important than anything at present.

The reason why he feels that every opportunity to play is so important now is that the things he has experienced in the past three years or so have almost killed him.

Only those who have experienced despair know how to cherish and how difficult it is to have every chance of rebirth.

After Neil trotted downstairs, he was very excited, very excited, and ran all the way to the gymnasium.

When he rushed to the gymnasium out of breath, he took a breath, straightened his tired waist like a hunchback, smiled at the coach and more than a dozen teammates, and greeted them friendly: "Coach, brothers ,I'm back!"

The coach glanced at Neil, who was in good spirits: "Welcome back to the team!"

As soon as the coach welcomed back to the team, the teammates all had sweet smiles on their faces: "Welcome back!"

The collective chorus of the teammates was still echoing in everyone's ears. Garnett stared at Neal, humorous, and consciously wanted to liven up the arena. What his teammates felt was the pressure and the tense atmosphere of the upcoming game. In order to change this atmosphere, he said to him with a hippie smile: "Neil, it's great that you are back. I think we can hit the [-]th mark when you come back." Winning streak, don’t you think so?”

"right……"

"Wolf King, don't flatter me. In the eyes of many people, I'm actually just an unremarkable parallel importer. The reason why the team can achieve such an amazing record today is thanks to you."

"Neil, you don't have to be humble. In fact, you are not watery, not watery at all. It's just that the eyes of many people in the outside world have too much water, which refracts things and makes them hard to see straight." Garnett particularly sympathized Neil said.

"Actually, I don't blame others for this. If I really want to blame it, I blame myself. On the way forward, I forgot my original intention and lost my way."

"In short, you are very important to our team. We have regarded you as a member of the Wolves team. I hope that in the days to come, you will bring us unexpected and reverse for the team and the fans. We all have confidence in you at the moment of the day." Garnett patted Neal on the shoulder, sometimes watching the coaches and teammates, sometimes watching Neal.

Garnett said such words to Neil so sincerely, and he was very grateful to him, but he inadvertently noticed that some of his teammates heard that the wolf king was very optimistic about him and believed in his words, their faces were very unnatural, and they smiled. There was a knife hidden in his pocket, and he wished to stab him immediately, so that he would bleed and die.

And Neil didn't show the slightest bit of unnaturalness, and he was still thinking and how to say it as always.

"Wolf King, thank you, as long as the team believes in me, you believe in me, I will do my best, because excessive affirmation will not be fulfilled in the end, it will only bring despair to all those who believe in me, so I will do my best , in the limited playing time, try to do your best to help the team win.” Neal is very calm and sober, he did not push himself to a dead end, but always leaves a way out for himself, so that he will not end up in a dead end .

Neil's words of neither elevating himself too high nor elevating himself too low made the coach who had the most right to speak at the side feel that Neil is a calm kid who speaks well and knows how to leave behind for himself. Lu, if he can have a chance to be reborn, he is very likely to become the most underrated player in the NBA. It seems that it is not wrong to let Garnett try Neal's tone today, at least let me understand a person better, It's just that I don't know how he's been practicing recently, or let him miss a few hands in front of all the players.

So, the coach smiled and looked at Garnett and nodded: "Garnett, how about we let Neal miss a few hands in front of us, and any of you can single out him, what do you think?"

When the coach issued such an order, he was always unhappy with Neil, for fear that Neil would snatch the ball away from them. Individual teammates kept saying yes, because in their hearts, they had long wanted to find a chance to challenge Neil in turn, even if they just You can't beat him at first, but when his physical strength reaches the upper limit, you can definitely beat him to the point of doubting your life.

Among the more than ten teammates, Brandon is the one who most wants to make such a crooked idea. He is still the team's starter, but Neil has only played three games in Minneapolis, and he has a big heart in all three games. The starting player and even the Wolf King have stolen the limelight, and he will pay off if he goes on like this. Therefore, he must be counted and let him step into the trap set by Brandon step by step, so that he can kill him with one move. Only by driving away can you keep your position in the team.

Whenever such thoughts came to Brandon's mind, he couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Neil, you can't blame me, because people live in this world for profit, and people don't kill others for themselves, so, You can't blame me, but you are too good, you are too strong!"
