you are all star

Chapter 3

Neil took out the basketball from the black cloth bag at the dining table, held it, looked left and right, and couldn’t bear to put it down. Nuana and Louis watched his every move, nodded sincerely, smiled, and then threw their hands at him hard. With meat in the bowl, he smiled silly when he saw his parents love him so much, then picked up the bowl and quickly finished eating, then played with the ball in the room.

On Christmas night, Neil finally got his dream basketball, and he thought he could finally show it off in front of his friends.

The next day, instead of going to sell things with Nuana, he made strong excuses that it was too cold outside and he didn't want to go out. Said: "It's fine if he doesn't want to go out, I'll go alone."

After a moment of silence, Louis stared at Neil and warned: "Boy, please remember, if we don't see you, then you will die."

He stared at his stern father and let out such words, without making a sound, just stood with the ball in his arms, stared at Louis and nodded.

Afterwards, Luis and Nuana took off the bag on the wall and went out breathing the cold wind.

Neil stood at the window and looked down. Seeing that his parents had disappeared at the end of the street, he let out a deep breath, expelling the nervousness that his father had scared him before, then hugged the basketball, closed the door and went out.

When he was walking on the street with a beautiful basketball in his arms, his friends cast envious eyes, and an old man in the neighborhood reminded him kindly: "Neil, who gave this Christmas gift, he is like a little worker." Like a human, it can bounce around, and if you are not careful, it will hurt your fingers, making your fingers bigger, and then there will be blood inside, anyway, you are too small, you have to be careful, otherwise..."

Neil nodded at the old man with a smirk, and then went to look for the partners who hit, laughed and hurt him before holding the ball.

When he found his friends, seeing him holding a basketball with the NBA logo on it, they felt a little envious, and smiled and came over to curry favor with him.

Seeing them approaching, Neil was the first to speak: "Peel, Porter, Anda, how are you? How about my basketball?"

Peel is the boss of Potter and Anda, so he was the first to speak. He circled around Neil, who was taller than the three of them, and made a contemptuous sound of "chi chi", which was uncomfortable to hear. He wanted to give him some basketballs, after a while, he sneered and said: "Neil, the basketball is a real guy, but I don't know if you stole it or snatched it, I don't know, Porter, Anda, Don't you think so?"

When Potter and Anda saw that the boss Peel had said this, they also squinted at Neil, and their sneer made people feel a little numb. It seemed that the surroundings were getting colder and desolate. After laughing for a while, they looked at Peel, then stared at Neil and said: " Boss, I think you are right. If their family could still afford such a delicate basketball, would they still live in this messy, dirty, dilapidated slum? It must have been stolen or robbed .”

Hearing what they said, Neil suddenly became angry, smashed the ball in his hand at Peel, and yelled at them: "Shut up, you can insult me ​​as much as you want, but you can't insult me. This basketball cannot insult my father's love for me."

The basketball hit Pierre's head hard, and Pierre was a little dizzy, but he still suppressed the dizziness, shook his head, picked up the basketball from the ground, tilted his mouth angrily, raised his head, and turned his head to look at Porter. And Anda, and then pointed at Neil, meaning to beat him, Potter and Anda immediately rushed over and grabbed Neil's hands, locking his struggling hands tightly like a prisoner.

Originally Neil saw the three of them, he was alone, he was not their opponent at all, and he wanted to escape desperately, but the basketball was in Pierre's hands, and he couldn't leave the first special Christmas gift his father gave him. Fighting it to the end, although his legs and feet were a little weak and numb when he looked at the vicious Peel, he still calmly tilted his face, held his head up, and gritted his teeth without fear of the three of them.

Seeing that he took himself so seriously, Peel walked towards him with the basketball in his hands, not knowing what kind of tricks he was planning in his heart.

Neil desperately tried to break free from Potter and Anda's shackles, while widening his eyes, he yelled and warned Peel: "Peel, if you dare to touch me today, you will have a hard time in the future, and I will definitely not let you go."

"Wow...Damn, you think I'm really afraid of you, let me tell you, even if the dream you had before really came true, I'm not afraid of you at all."

As soon as the words fell, Pier stared at him, sneered, lightly hit the place he just hit with the ball, and ruthlessly smashed several balls on his head.

Neil was dizzy from being hit, but the ball was still in Pierre's hand. This ball was fifteen dollars more than the money for a medical examination for his mother. He must take it home, and he couldn't just pass out like this. It seems that today It's impossible to force them, you have to outsmart them, but you can't lose your ambition.

Peel, Potter and Anda laughed when they saw that Neil was quite bearable, before he fainted.

After 20 seconds, Peel looked at Neil's shabby look again, smiled wryly and said mockingly, "How is it, does it hurt, future All-Star?"

"What do you really want? You should have paid it back, and you can return the ball to me?" Neil said, staring at the triumphant Peel.

"Want me to return your ball? Not yet."

Neil suddenly thought of a good idea, which is to win back the Christmas gift that his father gave him in Peel's hands, and at the same time teach this arrogant and arrogant guy a lesson.

"Then how will you be willing to return my ball?" Neil asked again with a tentative tone.

"It's very simple. Are you not a future All-Star, regular season MVP, finals MVP? As long as you can beat me, the ball will be returned to you."

Unexpectedly, Peel's answer was exactly the same as what he thought in his heart, but his words were too sarcastic and shocking, so he stared at Peel and said, "Okay, let them let me go, I will PK with you."

Peel thought to himself, the guy who is overreaching, really considers himself an All-Star, and then waved to Porter and Anda, asking them to let him go.

After Neil's hand was released, Pierre threw the ball to Neil viciously, only to hear a "click" of Neil's right thumb. Neil felt pain in his finger, but he tried his best to hold back the ball, but he missed the ball , the ball bounced back again, Peel picked up the basketball and said with a smile: "No way, the future basketball star!"

Neil ignored him and just cursed him in his heart. He is simply a despicable, insidious and cunning villain. Today, for my dignity, I will also defeat you and make you the first sacrifice ghost under the ball.

The four of them came to the dilapidated court, the wooden backboard looked so high, and the basket was so small, this was Neil's first impression of the backboard.

Potter and Anda watched the fight, watching Neil and Peel bullfight.

Perhaps because of his basketball talent and his tall stature, Pierre is not only at a disadvantage in offense, but also in rebounding. Peel is too small, but his rebounds are too high, and his strength is also weak. Neil was very wise, tried hard to endure the pain in his thumb, strengthened his defense, prevented Peale from dribbling the ball to the basket to score points, and let him shoot long shots. In the end, they fought for several rounds, and one ball was not completed. Neal also suffered from his thumb injury. Because of the goal, Pierre was also a little anxious, and Neal was also a little anxious, and both of them were a little exhausted.

Just now Peale made a long-range shot, and this time it was Neal's turn to serve. The smart man suddenly thought, as long as Peale can't keep up with me, he can't interfere with me, and then I can easily score points!

So he dribbled the ball back and forth from left to right, and when Peel's footsteps became a little unnatural, he threw the ball under his crotch, and then penetrated from Peel's left hand to the penalty area.

Neil saw that he had thrown the first dignity-defense goal in his life. He clenched his fist and raised it. He couldn't help laughing wildly, and said confidently, "Yeah... it went in!"

Both Porter and Anda were dumbfounded by Neil's ball. They suddenly looked at Neil, who was three years old and was about to turn four years old, but who had never played before.

When Pierre came back to his senses, the ball had gone into the basket, and he made N three-point shots. This made him desperate, so he had to return the ball to Neil, and took Porter and Anda home in despair. .

　Nothing in this world can be achieved overnight. If you want it to develop towards your wishes, you have to do your best.
