Chapter 11 I really like basketball ()

"Well, I really like basketball." After looking at my aunt embarrassedly, Stephen scratched her and admitted embarrassedly. My aunt must have disliked her. You can tell from her reaction.

"If you like it, do it. Maybe you really have the talent in this area and become a basketball star." Shi Xianghua remembered what Benjamin said in Benjamin's office.

Benjamin told Shi Xianghua that Stephen has a very talented body with basketball talent and is born with the materials for playing basketball, but his foundation is a little worse. He hopes that after he goes back, he can urge him to exercise well. If conditions permit, it is best to hire a trainer for him.

If the trainer is not invited, Shi Xianghua is also afraid that Stephen will be only three minutes hot and cannot bear the hardship of training. Otherwise, would the foundation be so bad? But it should be that at home that his family should build a basketball court so that he can exercise at home.

Shi Xianghua took Stephen to a sports equipment store, which operates a variety of sports equipment such as basketball, sneakers, jerseys, etc. Shi Xianghua asked Stephen to choose according to his own preferences. Of course, Stephen chose the Jordan series. In the end, when Stephen saw Shi Xianghua help him buy a set of expensive basketball hoops, he couldn't help but stop him.

"Aunt, let's buy that." Stephen was naturally embarrassed to say, afraid that he would not control his strength and damage such an expensive basketball stand.

"That's outdoor. If it's built outside, your exercise sound will affect others. Although my aunt is a lawyer, she doesn't want to sue anyone." Shi Xianghua knew that Stephen didn't understand this, so he patiently explained to Stephen.

"But if it is installed at home, will it affect your peace of mind?" Stephen then realized that the rich area was not like the neighborhood where he lived. Even if it was a little disturbed occasionally, no one went to court.

"During the construction, the whole room will be equipped with sound insulation materials, which will not affect me. Don't worry, my Stephen." Feeling his nephew's considerate, Shi Xianghua's heart flashed with warmth. He was going to pay for Stephen this time, so he took out his card and swiped it.

He was preparing to return home with a bag of sports, and Stephen slept with the basketball in his arms for one night. The next day, the staff of the sports equipment store came to install the basketball stand. Stephen stayed at home, did nothing, just practiced his own basketball.

Stephen soon discovered that as long as his body does not use force, it is still the same as usual, but as soon as he exerts force, he involuntarily uses much more force. The most basic skill of fixed-point shooting alone could basically reach about 70%, but now it cannot reach 30%, let alone other things.

The shooting is not accurate, the dunk is not good at bounce, and the layup cannot control the pace. No matter how Stephen practices, he cannot recover to the previous ease of being able to do it. Although basketball is still so familiar, his body is very different from before.

Shi Xianghua occasionally came over to see him. Seeing Stephen's appearance, he thought he was at this level, so he didn't say anything to attack him. Instead, he asked Stephen if he needed to hire a basketball coach for him, but Stephen shook his head and refused.

I just can't adapt to the original memory. I heard that it would cost hundreds of dollars for an hour to hire a basketball coach. Stephen felt a little distressed. He didn't have a coach and practiced well. Why do I have to make money for me? My parents sometimes earned hundreds of dollars a day after working hard.

On this day, Shi Xianghua thought that Stephen’s admission application had been approved and that school would start in a few days. He couldn’t let Stephen wear his previous clothes to go to school. Judging people by appearance is a common problem among all human beings, so he specially took Stephen out to buy a few clothes.

But when she stood in front of Stephen and tidied up Stephen's clothes, she suddenly realized that Stephen, who was only a little taller than herself, had to raise his head to meet him. She couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Have you grown taller again?"

"No?" Stephen didn't feel anything. His height was no longer growing when he was fourteen years old. How could he grow taller? But in recent days, he really felt that his clothes were a little tight and his shoes were a little tied. However, Stephen still stood on the instrument for measuring height.

"How tall are you?" Seeing Stephen changing into a new suit, he was heroic and handsome, Shi Xianghua was both relieved and sad. The men in his family all had a very similar face, especially Stephen's age was about the same as his uncle back then. Seeing Stephen, Shi Xianghua felt like he had seen his second brother.

"One meter eight..." Stephen was about to answer, but suddenly saw the number above and stopped in surprise. It was 1 meter nine. In just a few days, he had grown five centimeters. Stephen hurriedly watched everywhere and would not be caught as a specimen and sliced ​​and studied.

"It's really growing? Your restaurant owners will starve you. I turned around and called and said, "Did your father have been slapping you at home? Why did he grow up in a few days after coming to me?" Shi Xianghua couldn't help but say angrily, seeing Stephen's really growing, he said, "What's wrong with this brother? He doesn't even let his children eat enough. No wonder Stephen alone wants to eat the food of his four people."

"It's not that my dad doesn't let me eat, it might be a secondary development." Stephen naturally wouldn't let his aunt really cause trouble for his father, but his body is getting weirder and stranger. You must be careful not to let others discover it.

"You can't wear any sneakers and jerseys you bought a few days ago? Let's buy a few more pieces later, and the clothes you picked this time are all the bigger ones." Taking good care of Stephen's life is something Shi Xianghua has been most concerned about recently. Once a person has a responsibility, he actually thinks less and less. Even the illness seems to have occurred less and less.

After buying some sports equipment for Stephen, Shi Xianghua took Stephen to Chinatown for a Chinese meal. He only had three dishes and a soup. He felt that the taste was not as authentic as his father made. It cost 78 dollars. With the tip, he almost $100. When he turned around, he had money and took his father from Charlotte and opened a Chinese restaurant here. I wonder if it was feasible. Stephen was eating while thinking, and suddenly he thought that he didn't know what his future was. Do you want to settle in Los Angeles? And that big trouble has not been relieved, so don't involve his parents. As for his aunt, she is a barrister, no one dared to attack her, and he didn't know what disease she had and how long she could live.

It’s better to stay here while going to school to play basketball while taking good care of my aunt. If you are found out, you can escape, and if you can’t escape, you can surrender, so as to save your relatives from being implicated.

"What are you thinking? By the way, your father is just a son and sent you over as soon as he says it. Are you making trouble there and always causing trouble for him?" Shi Xianghua saw Stephen frowning while thinking, looking very worried, and deliberately spoke to attract his attention, and asked him what was going on.

My brother doesn’t have many children, and he just has such a precious son. Why did he send it to him as soon as he mentioned it? You said you wouldn’t kiss this son, but he was reminded on the phone. If you want to kiss him, why did he send it to him without hesitation? Even if he knew that this was good to the child, he was not a decisive person.

"Aunt, let's talk to you again when we get home. It's not convenient here." Stephen looked around. Although there were no people in the hotel and no one knew him, on the safe side, let's talk about it before going home.

"Okay, have a meal first." Shi Xianghua knew at a glance that something was wrong, so he stopped asking.

The two of them quickly returned home after dinner. Then Shi Xianghua called Stephen to his work room, took out the paper and pen and a recording pen, and looked like he was facing a great enemy. Seeing Stephen's surprised look, he smiled awkwardly: "Tell me about professional habits." However, he was still prepared to record at any time, and the recording pen was also turned on.

"So that's how it is. No wonder your father sent you here so soon. It's quite clever. You have an uncle, your father told you about something, right?" After hearing Stephen's words, Shi Xianghua sneered, and thought about the past. No wonder this brother was so cruel to send his son here.

"If you continue to stay there, although you may not be silenced directly, those policemen will definitely attack you. Maybe they will die in the police station like your uncle. You will be right here. Don't go back to Charlotte casually in the future. Just as your father said, be a rich person and a person with status. No one dares to deal with you casually. Although your father knows this truth, the direction of his efforts is wrong, and he will be like that even if he works for the rest of his life."

After looking at Stephen, Shi Xianghua was also a little embarrassed about Stephen's future. It was easy to bring him into the lawyer industry with his own status, but it was difficult to develop it greatly. After all, lawyers need very rich legal knowledge and very good eloquence. However, looking at Stephen's appearance, it seems that he doesn't have it. Forget it, it's better to talk about his preferences.

"Since you like basketball so much, just work in this direction. Even if you can't be a professional player, at least you won't regret it. However, you have to study hard in school. You will never suffer any loss when you learn more knowledge. At the same time, you have to have a good relationship with your classmates. In California, it is not a problem to ask students from the University of Southern California to find an ordinary job at least."

"Well, I know." Stephen had thought about becoming a basketball star who enjoys the call of thousands of people, but he also knew how big the gap between dreams and reality is. No one knew how many basketball geniuses are in high schools and universities across the United States. But there are only so many people who can join the Niu A every year, and his skills are just on the streets. Not to mention the basketball team at the University of North Carolina, even those who are Saint Atelpa High School are no match for themselves, let alone his body has become like this.
