Chapter 1: I Am the Boss
Chapter 1: I'm the Boss
Berkeley, California, 2004. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The sun has slowly set, and the heat in the air has slowly dissipated. After the hot afternoon ended, more and more people chose to go out for a walk.
A common basketball court on the street.
A bunch of young people are swaying their talents.
"Sean, here...... Here...... "A big man with a height of more than two meters on the inside line, who is struggling to play this one, wants to ask for a strong inside line."
The Chinese on the outside pouted and lowered his head to dribble, and it was a young man of about the same height and size who defended Sean, but the young man who was like a big enemy was nervous at the moment.
Sean Lee dribbled with his head down, and then suddenly accelerated to the right, and the opposing defender quickly moved to the right side when he saw this, and it has to be said that this defender moved sideways very quickly.
But...... This happens to be a backdrop.
As the defender moves to the right, Sean switches hands to the left with his crotch, and at this moment, as if time is slowing down, the defender moves towards Sean's right and Sean breaks through to the left. To the onlookers, it looked as if the defenders were deliberately releasing water.
Sou!
Like a gust of wind, Sean broke through the defenders without a hitch.
The big forward under the basket hurriedly stepped forward to assist in the defense, and another player on the side also came to assist in the defense, and the two of them sandwiched Sean, which shows how much Sean is valued on the court.
But at this time, Sean was not in a hurry, and still flew towards the basket, with someone in front of him and someone on the side to assist in defense, and Sean was quickly pushed to the corner of the basket.
The tall power forward cautiously spread his arms to prevent Sean's smashing hook.
It's just that at this time, the basketball in Sean's hand has disappeared, and under the basket, his big center grabbed the basketball and dunked it.
Rumble!
A strong dunk, which is very rare on the field.
Basketball lovers who can dunk have the potential to enter the professional court, but in these four weeks, no one is surprised that Williams has such potential.
A first-time visitor was stunned to see this scene and asked:
"Hey, who's this guy? If you can dunk, it should be the college basketball team! ”
"No, not yet, but soon, he's our No. 1 high school student in Berkeley, and he's going to an NCAA school soon, maybe he'll be an NBA star in the future."
Someone around answered it, and immediately there was a chorus of echoes.
Although there are not too many rules for basketball games on the wild court, the basketball games in this place are very standardized, at least there are no brawls, gambling and the like.
Time passed slowly, and as the night grew thicker, the game was declared over.
Everyone packed up their things and prepared to leave.
At this time, only seven young people were left around the stadium.
"Sean."
"Sean."
……
Seven young men greeted each other and stood around Sean as if they were their boss.
Sean has become accustomed to this, especially in recent years, after Sean defeated the thugs on the streets recently, these children are his little brothers.
Yes, Sean is the boss here.
The United States is a country where the underworld is rampant, there are many hidden dark places in every city, guns are rampant, and drugs are the norm. In the United States, as long as you have money, you can buy what you can.
But...... Not really.
Berkeley is a small city with a very high quality of residents, and there is no shortage of jobs in Berkeley thanks to San Francisco, which is a quiet and wealthy small city.
In this place, the security is very good, there is no existence of the underworld.
Even the gun and drug trade is very small, and the police here are very conscientious.
This is a small city where the rich live.
Of course, there are not all the poor who are so poor that they are homeless, such as a group of minions near Sean.
Under normal circumstances, they would be homeless, stealing, robbing, going to jail, and then going on to do bad things and even becoming more brutal when they came out.
But...... Luckily, they met Sean.
After being taught a lesson by Sean, Sean taught them how to behave, and if they went to get legitimate gains, at least they wouldn't go hungry.
Seven people followed Sean on the way to the restaurant.
"Sean, do you think I can get into the NBA?" Williams's tone was full of excitement and yearning, and the others around him also looked envious when they heard this.
"Believe in yourself, you can do it."
"Definitely, with your physical fitness, you can definitely become a superstar."
…………
Several people chimed in, envious of Williams.
This group of homeless children formed a group under the leadership of Sean, and although they survived, everyone had expectations for the future.
Without a good education, without good life skills, without good insight, perhaps the only thing that can get ahead is your physical gifts.
As long as you become an athlete, whether it's basketball or rugby, you can make a lot of money.
This is the only way for many black children to move upward.
The same is true of Williams, although he doesn't know which bastard prostituted his mother and then had him, but his physical gifts are undoubtedly powerful.
Berkeley No. 1 High School Student, this is no joke.
But Williams didn't think so, and waited for Sean to speak, but unfortunately until he arrived at the restaurant, Sean didn't say anything.
This restaurant is a traditional Chinese restaurant and belongs to Sean's family.
Sean's grandparents have run this restaurant since they came to the United States a long time ago, and as for his Chinese father and white mother, who have long since become doctors and professors through their own efforts, they are not willing to manage this restaurant at all.
"Alright, let's do it quickly."
With a wave of Sean's hand, the seven young men began to move, and the inside and outside of the restaurant were quickly cleaned up.
After cleaning up, I washed my hands and brought my food.
There is a reward for paying.
This is the truth that Sean taught this group of homeless children. Although the Sean family is responsible for their evening meals, they are responsible for cleaning the restaurant.
It's a fair deal.
But for children who didn't know anything a few years ago, they are willing to give everything they have to eat a hot meal.
After eating, the seven of them packed up the rest of the food and took it back to the other children, then cleaned up the restaurant and left.
After closing the door, Sean picked up the keys and prepared to go home, at this time, Williams stood alone in the distance, waiting for Sean nervously.
"Lee, I want to ask you something."
Williams whispered, as shy as a girl's confession.
"Say it!"
Although he already knew what to ask, Sean still had a headache, should he tell the truth?
"Lee? Can I become an NBA player? ”
Yes, not an NBA star that others boast about, Williams' goal is to become an NBA player, even if it's an NBA rotation player, a bench player, with a salary of millions of dollars a year.
If you save a little, it's enough for Williams to spend a lifetime.
Even this group of homeless siblings will have a better future because of Williams.
The future is a place that people yearn for.
