Chapter 37: The Sweetness of Growth

(Thanks to the stars for being confused, brocade clothes and guards, and the great god ruler has been supporting)

Charlotte City, Dell. On the court in Curry's backyard, a middle-aged man stands in front of a basketball-filled basketball, feeding two teenagers standing outside the three-point line.

Swish! Swish! …… The ball went into the net one after the other. These two similar-looking teenagers, the shooting posture is almost carved out of a mold, and even the shooting percentage is almost the same.

Only when you are close enough to them can you discover the subtle difference between the two. 16-year-old brother Stephen. Curry, when shooting, will lock his eyes firmly on the three iron hooks that are hanging the net to him under the ring. And the younger brother Seth. Curry, the coordinates in his eyes are above the front of the hoop.

Dale looked at his 14-year-old son, who was already on the Charlotte Christ High School varsity team at the start of this year, and his shooting was as accurate as his older brother's, and although he didn't have Stephen's excellent ball handling, Seth's defense was better.

Last year's holiday, Stephen. Curry finally solved his shooting consistency. He hadn't found a proper shot reference before, sometimes in the white frame on the rebound, sometimes in the hoop,......

After a chance attempt, he used the iron hook under the hoop as a reference, and after a period of adaptation, he finally determined that it was the most suitable shooting reference for him.

Stephen, who is getting more and more accurate in shooting, led the Charlotte Christ High School Cavaliers to the division championship and break into the state championship semifinals. In a crucial semifinal, his Cavaliers trailed by one point. There was still plenty of time for the final attack, and thanks to his excellent performance, the opponent doubled Stephen. Instead of forcing his own shot, he passed the ball to an unmarked team-mate. As a result, the ball thrown by his teammates did not fly into the hoop. Curry also lost this semifinal.

Sad, he hoped to be comforted by his father, but he didn't expect to usher in a storm. Now he remembers the scene, Dale. Curry crossed his hands on his hips and said to him with a look of disappointment: "You know, you are the best player and the most accurate shooter on the Cavaliers." Why give someone else what you should have been responsible for? Don't tell me, hey, didn't you see that? He has a better chance. I fight like this because I'm selfless, go to TM's selflessness! In my eyes, this is called cowardice, this is called evasion. Dell, who rarely speaks rudely in front of his son, gets more excited the more he talks. Perhaps afraid of scaring his child, he took a few deep breaths and calmed himself, "You haven't learned how to be a leader yet, I hope you can give yourself a try." ”

This incident touched the young Stephen a lot. At heart, he wants to be a leader, a player who decides the outcome of the game. At the age of 16, Stephen was secretly determined to show his father that he could one day become a qualified leader.

Ayesha, who is one-quarter Chinese, is fiddling with a pile of fruit in the kitchen with Dale's wife, Sonya, and youngest daughter, Sidelle. Outside the house, the father and son need to eat some fruit salad to replenish the lost water and energy after practicing the ball. Sixteen-year-old Ayesha carefully sliced the bananas on the board, and the thought of the red-lipped and white-toothed boy outside the house would be able to eat the fruit salad she had prepared for him later.

Sonya was preparing the utensils for the food, and at the same time looking at this simple, beautiful girl, the thick smile on her face could not be dissolved.

It was a church event, and the youthful and energetic Ayesha stepped into the life of the Curry family. Sonya, a devout Christian, believes that the Almighty Lord will let people meet at some point. When she saw this child for the first time, she liked it in her heart, which may be what is commonly referred to as 'eye edge'.

And then his eldest son Stephen got closer and closer to this beautiful girl. As a person who came over, Sonya knew that the two children were in love.

What makes her even happier is that this gentle and kind child gets along well with every member of the family, as if she was originally a member of this big family.

……

After a pleasant family dinner, Stephen looked at the sky that had already fallen into the night, and offered to send his girlfriend Ayesha home, and her mother Sonya also enthusiastically delivered it to the door.

"Mom, can I drive my father's new Grand Cherokee?" Stephen pleaded hopefully.

"No, I think it's better to walk at such a close distance." Sonya refused without hesitation, her son has not yet received an official driver's license, and if he wants to drive, he needs to be accompanied by his parents.

"Okay." Stephen is used to obeying his mother, who has a strong personality. Ayesha, who had seen everything in her eyes, looked thoughtfully at Aunt Sonya, who was very good to her.

Through the dim street lamp, the hands of the two children got closer and closer. Finally, the slender bare hand took its companion, who was much larger than it.

Ten minutes away, it seems to be coming to an end in the blink of an eye. Looking at the lighted house not far away, Stephen stopped. "Well, I'll send it here." Although the boy said this, he held the girl's hand without the slightest intention of letting go.

Ayesha's bright eyes flashed, her toes tapped, and her sexy lips left their footprints on the boy's mouth.

"Good night, have a good dream."

Stephen stared blankly at the girl's graceful figure that was fading away, and subconsciously touched the corners of her mouth with her right hand that still had an aftertaste. Oh dear, I swear I'll dream of you tonight......

The basketball hall at Simeon High School is brightly lit, with the sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor and the shouts of teammates on the court. Coach Hambrick looked at the number 1 who was on the pitch with ease, and his face was full of relief.

The long summer vacation did not make the child feel unfamiliar with this field, and his vigorous figure was everywhere.

Steals, blocks, rebounds, fast breaks, breaks, passes......

In an attack, when there was little time left, the teenager stood up to the opponent's defense and raised his hand to make a three-point shot. This action is faster than before, and the ball arc is higher. What hasn't changed is the grinding sound of the violently spinning basketball and the net pocket.

It seems that this proud son of Simeon High School is even stronger than last year. To Coach Hambrick's surprise, it wasn't that kid getting taller, faster, and stronger. It's that his shooting feel is softer, and the arc of his shot is more reasonable.

Derek. Ross almost messed with Sun Yi all summer. The two competitive teenagers have the strength to not admit defeat. In the confrontation between the two men, Derek had the advantage at the beginning, winning six or seven times out of ten heads-ups. As Sun Yi's physical fitness continued to improve in Snyder's carefully formulated special training plan, the winning rate of the two gradually reversed.

In order to cope with Sun's increasingly aggressive defense, Derrick had to change some of his shooting habits under pressure from opponents. The change is undoubtedly positive and beneficial, and now his shooting consistency has improved considerably. In the past, some shots that could have been smashed out of the basket have greatly improved their shooting percentage as the arc of the shot has become higher.

Coach Hambrick looked at the teenager who was on the field like no one and believed that this kid would take Simeon High School to new heights. But when he thought of the two super players who cooperated tacitly with Timotai High School, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his proud disciple. Perhaps, this time of year will be the time for Derek to make a big difference, because this year's Timothy Trojans lineup is so unfair to him.

Glenn. Sampson gasped for air, his training shirt soaked with sweat and looked like he had been rained.

Damn it! This kid is so evil that Glenn was shocked by Sun Yi's performance. Every time a holiday, this guy feels like the protagonist in the game after slashing countless monsters and upgrading.

No, another new semester has begun, and the Timothy Trojans have also resumed training as a team. As usual, these two children with excellent strength started their 1-on-1 training after the training.

This heads-up is very different for Glenn. Just before the summer vacation, in the confrontation with Sun Yi, although it was difficult, he was still very sure to win the opponent.

Today's heads-up of 11 balls has been played to 20 draws, and the two teenagers still haven't decided the winner. In the past, he could drag Sun Yi down just by his physical fitness.

To know that Glenn, who got Mr. Basketball in Illinois. Sampson is already a hot high school basketball superstar in the United States. He is the first small forward in the rivalas.com rankings, and is also ranked second among high school students in the United States by the TOP25 of USA Today, second only to the phenomenal interior monster Greg. Oden.

Glenn, whose physical strength was close to the limit, wiped the sweat from his face, gritted his teeth and rushed over with the ball, and there was no word "give up" in his life dictionary.

At this time, Sun Yi put on a defensive posture. But he was well aware of his condition, and his increasingly heavy legs had cost him his only advantage over Glenn – speed. With sore arms, it was already difficult to attack far from the basket.

After more than two months of devilish training during the summer vacation, Sun Yi now thinks of Mr. Snyder and his physical trainer, Mr. Will, and his body chills. Especially the newcomer, he trains every day with a lot of tricks, and he doesn't give up until he can't get up from training.

What the? You say pretend not to practice. I'm sorry, but Mr. Snyder doesn't look like he has those dense sensors on his buddy.

Every morning after those two hours of training, Trainer Will would tear off the stern mask on his face. He personally gave Sun Yi a relaxing massage for twenty minutes, soaked in hot water for about ten minutes, and finally forced the boy to jump into a pool full of ice cubes.

According to Mr. Snyder, this will allow you to recover from muscle fatigue as soon as possible after training. Sun Yi, who was very incomprehensible at first, found that it was indeed very effective in the confrontation with his friend Derek every afternoon after several adaptations.

Through this tortured special training, Sun Yi's physical fitness has improved amazingly. In the previous heads-up with Glenn, his physical energy often passed quickly in high-intensity confrontations.

Today, in this marathon heads-up, he forced Glenn into such an embarrassing situation for the first time. I can't help but feel proud in my heart, this mountain in front of me will definitely be conquered by myself.
