Chapter 11: .The so-called point guard

"No one can be replaced, including me." Conner patted Nie Chuan's shoulder.
"You like the position of point guard?"
"Yes, I like it very much. Although there are power forwards, small forwards, and centers that are eye-catching, but I love the point guard."
"why?"
"Because a superb point guard must have a wide view and grasp the best opportunity. You must know that the team's victory does not depend on gorgeous slam dunks or three-pointers, but timing. We just grasp that People of timing. We master the routine of the offense, we master the most important timing, we run through the court, thread the needle. When everyone is blocked, we will exceed the opponent's imagination and give them an unexpected fatal blow . A basketball game is like a story, with a cause, a boiling point, and an ending, and we are the one who wrote the story. "Conner's finger poked lightly in Nie Chuan's eyebrow," So I love control. The point guard. "
Nie Chuan suddenly felt that he had fallen into Conner's world.
At this moment, someone came to Connor behind his arms and said, "Hey! Conner! How many times have I said to you, you need to rest! Why did you run out to play basketball again?"
Conner immediately panicked: "No! No! I didn't play basketball! It was just my friend who came, and I gave him two gestures! Really! You didn't sweat!"
It was a nurse, and she looked at Nie Chuan suspiciously.
Nie Chuan quickly nodded and said, "It's true! He just made a gesture!"
"Okay. You should go back to the ward now."
Conner showed a disappointed expression, returned the basketball to Nie Chuan, and smiled at him when he turned around: "Hey, come back to me when you have time.
But ... don't let Carlo know! "
Nie Chuan held the basketball and watched Connor go away. His back was both lonely and unspeakably firm.
Reese drove Nie Chuan back to school.
The whole compartment was quiet.
"... I still can't fully understand Conner's love for basketball." Nie Chuan muttered.
"Because you are not Conner."
"But ... I seem to like basketball again."
"Again?" Reese raised an eyebrow. They just happened to make a turn, and Reese turned around with ease. "Who taught your basketball?"
"I don't remember. My grandfather was a teacher of the Chinese Department at the university. I grew up with my grandfather when I was a kid. In the third grade of elementary school, an international student from the United States followed my grandfather to learn Chinese. He seems to be nba A retired star. Many children like to play basketball with him. Me too. At that time, I was particularly fascinated. After school assignments have not been done, I followed him to play basketball. "Speaking of that time, Nie Chuan's lips ripped. laugh.
"Did you learn to dribble with him?"
"Well! At that time, he still carried me on his shoulders and asked me if I would grow up and play with him in the United States! Haha! When I grow up, he is estimated to be a bald middle-aged man with a beer belly Right? "Nie Chuan laughed more and more happily.
"What happened later? It doesn't look like you often play."
"I have! When I was in junior high school, I often played matches with other schools. I could always break the opponent's ball ... Only once, my elbow accidentally hit the school grass of another high school. He My nosebleeds like a fountain ... My secret table gave me a stern glance, and I didn't speak to me for the whole school year. "Nie Chuan's voice went down.
"So you never played basketball again?" Liz raised a frown, and Nie Chuan could accurately capture his emotions.
His subtext is: It is so stupid to give up basketball in this way.
"Well ... but the bigger reason is that after entering high school, there is no time."
"Well," Reese said quietly, and then asked, "Are you good at other sports?"
After more than ten seconds of thinking, Nie Chuan finally asked: "I have had a saddle horse that has been connected for two months, but once I almost fell to my neck, my mother stopped me from practicing. In addition ... Taijiquan is not considered ? "
Reese was silent.
"Tai Chi! That's Rou Kegang, first come first!"
Reese still didn't speak.
"Well, Tai Chi may not be a sport in your mind ..."
They went back to school silently all the way. Nie Chuan got out of the car and bypassed the car. The atmosphere was terrible. Nie Chuan just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
It was only two steps after he walked, and Reese's hand reached out from the window, easily grabbing his back collar and pulling him back.
"Do you want to try it?" Reese asked.
"Ha? Do you mean ... recognized by Coach Gordon?"
"Ok."
"... I don't know anything about Coach Gordon and I really didn't think about playing a basketball league. It was just when I was with Conner that I really wanted to play basketball."
"Good luck, then." Reese chuckled, unable to hear whether he was laughing at Nie Chuan's power or encouraging him.
Nie Chuan returned to his room. To be honest, he really didn't know what he should do.
He searched all the basketball tutorials, copied them into his computer, broke them down over and over, and kept in touch with Conner.
After class the next day, he walked around the school carrying his schoolbag and found that all public basketball courts were used. He was really embarrassed to practice under the watch of others, and most importantly, he seemed to be decent I do n’t have any basketball shoes, and I have to buy a basketball.
Nie Chuanwangtian, he suddenly felt that this was like preparing the best writing pen before the Chinese test, and he was going to fight the night, but in the end he couldn't hold on.
What's even worse is that there are many sporting goods stores near the school, but they do not have the right shoe size for Nie Chuan.
When Nie Chuan was thinking about suspending his practice and waiting for him to buy the right shoes on the weekend to start his new life, his cell phone rang.
It was a completely strange number, and Nie Chuan decided to connect after hesitating for two seconds.
"Hey, this is Nie Chuan, may I ask you ..."
"Where are you?" A cold voice came.
What happened to Nie Chuan: "You ... you ... are you Reese Redington?"
"Where are you?" Reese ignored Nie Chuan's surprise completely, lowered his voice and asked again.
"I bought basketball shoes at Nike across the east gate of the school."
"So did you buy it?"
"No, here ..."
"You wait for me there."
As soon as the voice fell, the phone hung up.
Nie Chuan stared at his mobile phone screen completely unable to return to his mind. What did Rhys Redington ask him? Also, where did he find his phone number?
Reese said that Nie Chuan, who has a unique character, has been taught. He didn't go anywhere, just dangled in Nike.
Until Reese's Land Rover stopped at the shop door, the window rolled down, and he shouted, "Nie Chuan, get in the car."
Not high or low, but heard clearly. Even the word "Nie Chuan" is extremely clear.
Nie Chuan turned around and quickly got into the car.
"Safety belt." This was the second time Reese had reminded him.
Nie Chuan turned to pull the seat belt, and Reese waited patiently until Nie Chuan buckled the seat belt inadequately before the car started.
From the rear window, Nie Chuan saw Serene's surprised expression.
"where are we going?"
"Buy shoes. You should be wearing a size seven."
Nie Chuan didn't expect Reese's observation was so careful, he even knew how many shoes he was wearing.
"Your feet are like kids like yours."
The comments behind made Nie Chuan feel cracked.
Reese took Nie Chuan to a large shopping mall near the school, where the Nike store is larger and more complete.
It didn't take long for Nie Chuan to pick out a pair of sneakers, and after taking two steps, he saw Reese looking at him coldly, holding his arms.
"Well, I'll pay."
"Are you sure you want these shoes?" Reese raised an eyebrow.
"Ok."
"If you make your own choice, wear your feet to the end."
Reese's words gave Nie Chuan invisible pressure.
"Then you wait, I will try again."
Nie Chuan jumped in place. After feeling the elasticity of the shoes, he lowered the center of gravity and made two scissors steps. Then he felt that the side was not very comfortable, so he changed another pair. After trying it, almost half an hour later, finally left the store.
This is the most careful time for Nie Chuan to pick his shoes.
"Do you plan to go back to school's public basketball court to practice?" Reese asked as he drove.
"Where can I go ..."
"Being watched, would you drop the ball when you dribble it?" Liz raised an eyebrow, and Nie Chuan suddenly felt desperate.
Obviously he is not familiar with Reese, why this guy seems to see him through completely.
"I'll take you to a quiet place."
Reese started driving after speaking, and took him to a place that looked like an abandoned factory.
"Here?" Nie Chuan doubted.
"Well, or you go back to school yourself?" Reese glanced back at Nie Chuan.
Nie Chuan can only confess to following Liz behind.
When Reese opened the warehouse door and turned on the power, the whole warehouse suddenly lit up, and Nie Chuan raised his hand to cover his eyes. When he could see clearly, he couldn't help exclaiming.
"My goodness--"
The warehouse is an entire basketball court. The ground is made of wood. It is very bright under the light and usually well maintained. Sidelines, endlines, and restricted areas are clear.
"here is……"
"This is where I practice."
Reese took off his coat, the pose was handsome and handsome like a male model on TV.
He grabbed a basketball and threw it in the direction of Nie Chuan, and raised his chin: "You'd better do a warm-up, otherwise you will get your own cramps."
Nie Chuan didn't understand how to warm up, but just sat with Reese for a few moves.
"Carlo recommended you to Coach Gordon. He must have thought that you have a dribble like Conner, but he can always pass the ball to his teammates safely and be the key to the team. , Open the opponent ’s offensive and defensive gates, and be able to accurately intercept the opponent when defending. "
