you are all star

Chapter 331 Isiah Thomas

Early the next morning, Neil was awakened by a phone call from his boss. He originally wanted to pick up the phone and curse at him, but when he caught a glimpse of the boss with sleepy eyes, he hurriedly put away his anger and asked softly: "Boss, you're calling now, what's the hurry?"

"Neil, it's like this. Isiah Thomas came to the training hall on time at nine o'clock this morning. Let's pick him up together."

"Okay, boss! No problem, where shall we meet later?"

"It's right in front of the training hall."

"Okay, see you later!"

Neil hung up the phone with a beep, turned over in a hurry, got up, washed and tidied up.

Since Lavender was still sleeping soundly after washing and tidying up, he left a note and left.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the well-known face of Isiah Thomas appeared in the eyes of the boss, coach, Neil and several executives shining in the sun.

With a natural smile on Isiah Thomas's dark and shining face, the boss waved to Isiah, and took the lead in saying hello to him, "Isiah, you are finally here! "

"Boss, you are still as approachable as before. I have long wanted to play in the team. After retiring, I have gained weight."

"Haha... It's normal, if you don't exercise or play, everyone will get fat, but in the future, as long as you want to play in the team, the team's door will always be open for you. Even though you have retired, the team needs you very much. Especially for players who have never made the playoffs or played in the playoffs, you need to provide them with some valuable experience and skills.”

"Actually, I came to you today just to introduce someone to you."

Isiah Thomas looked at Neil who was standing on the left hand side of the boss with a smile on his face, pointed at Neil with a polite gesture and asked, "That's him?"

"It's him, he's the player I signed yesterday—Neil."

"Hi Neil, nice to meet you!"

"Hello, Mr. Isiah Thomas, I am very excited and happy to meet you. On the road of basketball, I often encounter various problems, but I never give up, because basketball is something I like since childhood, so , no matter what I face, I always persevere, but due to lack of game experience, I am not willing to be eliminated in the first round this past season, but so what, the road of basketball and the road of dreams are a process of constant exploration , Therefore, I took the initiative to propose a deal and came to the City of Automobiles, hoping to ignite the hope of my dream here, but in the process, there may be too many troubles for all the seniors present." Neil was neither humble nor overbearing Looking directly at Isiah Thomas said.

Isiah Thomas was moved by Neil's self-confident, self-confident and non-arrogant words. He felt that Neil was very much like him in the past. From the day he entered this fiercely competitive league, he was not favored by the outside world. , the outside world is optimistic about the big players, who often score [-] or [-] points, but in the end, the ordinary self can also do what many basketball superstars do, such as championships, MVPs, top [-] superstars, and hall of famers. Therefore, God is still equal to everyone, but in the face of relatively unfair reality, don't forget to move forward with your head held high.

Because of what happened to Neil, a lot of things happened to him before, so he can experience it personally.

Therefore, after Neil finished speaking, he encouraged Neil like this: "Neil, I have watched many of your games. You are a guy with extraordinary basketball talent, but you have been tossed by this world so much that you have forgotten the direction you came from. , as well as my original intention for basketball and dreams, I lost myself, ignored my own advantages, and contributed to my own contrarian. Now I will make a summary of all the games I have watched you from the perspective of the audience. "

Seeing that Isiah Thomas had worked so hard to come here, the boss, coaches, and executives pointed at the players dry-mouthed, said yes in gratitude, and applauded.

After a round of applause, Isiah Thomas looked directly at Neil: "Neil, in fact, your speed and your sense of basketball are not possessed by many players, but on the court, you seldom use your speed. Playing with the special feeling for basketball, occasionally using the speed, but not using the feeling, this is the reason why you always come and go, the reason why outsiders can't see the superstar style from you Talking about the reason for parallel imports, that’s all I’m going to say today, I wonder if you understand it, if you understand it, you’re aware of your own problems.”

After Isiah Thomas finished speaking, Neil still had a vague understanding of the word "feeling", and he didn't quite understand it, so he asked purposefully: "Sir, is the feeling you're talking about subconscious or intuition? "

"Precisely, if you can use that feeling to guide dribbling, organization, breakthrough, speed up, passing...and use that feeling to see through the opponent's tactics, and then use that kind of connection with the team's offense and defense, if you In doing so, I firmly believe that you can reach heights that many people cannot."

"Sir, thank you. I will definitely keep what you said today in mind, and I will always remember to use the feeling in my heart to guide myself to play and share the ball."

"If so, I would be very happy."

"Hey..." Neil smiled foolishly.

"Neil, come on! I hope I'm not mistaken, and I hope your future is as beautiful as your smile at this moment."

"Thanks to the love from the seniors, Neil will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."

After Neal finished his statement, everyone looked at him, nodded and smiled with great relief, and then returned to the Pistons headquarters.

On the way, the boss asked Neil to sit next to Isiah Thomas. Along the way, Neil humorously showed Neil the movements of dribbling, shooting, breaking through and dunking in front of Neil, which made everyone laugh. For a while, he told Neal that he liked his dribbling, shooting, dunking, and breakthrough movements, and for a while he liked the dribbling, shooting, breakthrough, and dunking movements. Due to the small space, his gestures were still vivid and vivid. Neil admired him very much, and also gestured to Isiah Thomas' classic moves. The boss, coach, and executives couldn't help laughing because of the two of them.

After a burst of laughter, the boss suddenly said: "I didn't expect the two of you to hit it off so well. I'm still worrying about Neil's shirt. Isiah, what should you pay attention to?"

"Boss, if my jersey is not hung high above the arena, I would be more than happy to let Neil wear my jersey on the battlefield and rekindle the team's championship hope."

"But now the No. 11 jersey is also sealed. That is the supreme respect for you. You can't do that. Think of other ways."

Isiah Thomas was silent for a moment, when a number 1 popped up in his mind, and he said excitedly: "Boss, how about letting Neal wear the No. 1 jersey?"

"This number is good, inspirational, and it is also inextricably linked with your number 11."

"Neil, what do you think of 1?"

"Boss, I thought of this number for Mr. Isiah last night, and I like it very much."

"Okay, then I'll arrange someone to tailor it for you later."

"thank you boss!"

"It's okay, if you want to thank Isaiah, he is here to save you. He is the hero in your mind. I hope you will be taught with humility. Among them, not only experience, but also some skills in handling the ball and being a team player. When faced with adversity, as the most important member connecting the offense and defense of the team, what kind of attitude should be used to face it, these are the important things you must learn right now.”

"Remember, I must be taught with an open mind!"

Although seven people packed a seven-seater commercial vehicle to its fullest, the air inside the vehicle was still very lively and comfortable.
