It still rained heavily in the afternoon, and in less than half an hour, the sweltering heat of the lower city was washed away, and the rain on the ground was lost unconsciously. The whole city is full of refreshing atmosphere, such a comfortable summer afternoon is indeed rare in the casino, and it seems that there are a lot more people outdoors today than usual.

In the evening, Hougist and Joseph arrived at the floodlit stadium in the City Garden, which was already full of five people.

"Yo! Isn't this Mr. Hurley, the star of the Lower City? Are you going to 'point' us again? Someone saw Hoggist and Joseph and shouted at them.

"My basketball was crushed by a passing car in the morning, who wants to sacrifice his basketball for this rare opportunity to play with me and improve their game? I don't have much time to instruct you, and I won't be able to play with you when I start high school next week. Hogist's words reveal a full of confidence and even pride.

"Is this man sick? Who does he think he is, Jordan? Can you still point us across? A first-time player here whispered a questioning of Hogist.

The middle-aged black uncle next to him said, "You're new here, aren't you?" He doesn't even know him? This guy is a basketball genius in Las Vegas, he is not arrogant, but he has always used basketball as a bet on this basketball court, one-on-one 21-point shot, whoever wins can take the other party's basketball, but he can win every time, and no one wants to play with him after a long time. Later, he racked his brains to think of such a way, as long as he gives him a good basketball, he will guide you in a game, point out the weaknesses of your skills and teach you how to improve in the game, usually play a game with him will have some gains, my son is what he pointed out, 3 basketballs, pointed three times, and now my son has grown from a rookie to the leader of the school team. ”

“WOW！ He's really that good? The newcomer was so surprised that he was about to fall to the ground, "By the way, in which school is your son dominant?" ”

"Westen Elementary."

"Elementary school students...... Your son can't beat a normal junior high school student, right? Why do you have to send a basketball to him for nothing? The newcomer almost stumbled when he heard the uncle's answer, and then seemed to remember something, so he continued to ask: "You just said that he can win every time, hasn't he ever lost?" ”

"Of course he hasn't lost, haven't you heard what everyone calls him? Downtown Star! He's only 14 years old, he's 6 feet tall, and with that perverted reach, he's almost invincible among the kids in Downtown. He's my son's idol, and in my son's eyes he's much higher than the big stars in the NBA! ”

"Can't that adult beat him?"

"No, he's only 'spared' with adults once. The opponent is a white fat man, weighing at least twice as much as Haugist, the fat man is very good at taking advantage of his weight, almost every ball is sitting with his back to play Haugist, Hougist can only use his height and arm span to try to knock off the ball or block the opponent's shot when the fat man collects the ball, that game is really difficult to solve, and in the end Hoggist is 19:20 behind, but steals the opponent and gets the ball, and finally when he lays up, he is thrown to the basket by the opponent before landing, I didn't expect to be lucky enough to score a goal, so I killed the opponent. Since then, he has refused to 'compete' with adults. However, adult skills are generally fixed, and playing ball is for exercise, so few adults are willing to ask him for guidance to improve themselves. ”

"Maybe it's because adults are afraid of losing face if they lose?" The newcomer muttered, "Then will anyone talk to him today?" ”

"Yes, Hougist said that there will not be many such opportunities after he goes to high school, and there will be people who will seize this few opportunities to improve themselves."

Sure enough, soon a black teenager who was a head taller and stronger than Howist stepped forward.

"Hello, I'm a high school student in the city next door, my name is Anthony, and I've been hearing my classmates talk about you lately, saying that you're very strong, and you're still talking about your dunk YouTube video, so I came to you to ask for advice or two."

"What! Did someone else take a picture of me dunk and post it on YouTube? What do you think? Did you break 10,000 clicks? Horgist didn't care about this taller and stronger opponent, but was thrilled to hear that he was on YouTube.

"Well, it seems like tens of thousands, but that's not the point, is it? Why don't you keep an eye on your opponent? I've already declared myself home, next door, my name is Anthony, look at my figure, haven't you thought of anything? Or didn't you guess who I was? ”

"The city next door? Paradise on the southwest side? Haven't you heard of any high school students in Paradise City who are good at basketball? Hougist scratched the back of his head.

Just because Hoggist didn't know him didn't mean that the big man wasn't famous, and someone in the crowd of onlookers really recognized him. "He's Anthony. Bennett! Basketball stars at Henderson Findley High School! Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"What? Is he the one Findley the Great? ”

It seems that this high school student is still well-known in the state, at least in the next city where the nickname has spread.

"Findley the Great, this nickname is blind, which one has a brainless brain, sounds like a brutal tsar, is he so powerful?"

"Of course! He shined in the state league in his first year of high school and wreaked havoc on the inside, it was all kinds of people-spacing and tyranny, brutal like a tsar! ”

"He's been sweeping Nevada with Findley High School for two years, and no one in Nevada is his opponent!"

Among the onlookers was known Anthony. Bennett's people began to talk about it, and listened to what they meant by Anthony. Bennett is not a star or a half better than Haugist.

The crowd on the side was talking, and Hoggist was secretly thinking in his heart: Coach Dick didn't tell me that there was such a tough opponent in the state. Coach Dick is so confident in me, is he blindly overconfident in his vision, or is this Bennett not as strong as everyone boasts? Seeing that his upper limbs are thick and his lower limbs are lean, he can dunk people in various ways when he is a head taller than me, and it should be easier to beat other high school students than me, and he usually plays with physical talent. I just don't know if he doesn't like to play with his brain or if he has no brain, if he doesn't have a brain, it's okay to say, if he has talent and brains, I'll be hanging!

But Hoggist thought about it again, he is strong, he is strong, I am a person who wants to play in the NBA, I am not covered by the strength of the invincible opponents in the casino, and it is not known whether I will win or lose if I really fight, and I can't be cowardly before fighting, otherwise I will lose half of it before I fight, and admitting cowardice is not the style of a future Hall of Fame player!

Thinking of this, Hougist smiled slightly, and reached out to take the basketball handed over by Bennett: "Okay, let me teach you the strength of the first person in Nevada high school today, you are a guest from afar, let you guard against me first!"

Anthony. Bennett was stunned when he heard this, why did he come from afar and ask me to defend first? But not as Bennett thought about it, Hoggist has raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer, his new shooting posture is very standard, it looks picturesque, elbow and wrist basket three-point line, the basketball is thrown out of the air to draw a perfect parabola, only to hear the sound of "dang", the ball smashed in the front of the basket, and it bounced back to Haugist's hand steadily.

Hoggist didn't change his face and handed the ball to Anthony. Bennett said calmly: "Well, your ball is flexible, I thought about it and let you attack first, let's officially start."

Everyone on the sidelines looked at each other and said in their hearts, "This grandson shouldn't want to sneak attack one, right?" Failed and still so calm, what a person who does big things! ”

However, there seem to be some onlookers who are good at grasping the changes in some details and seeing some clues, and a young man who often plays here asked the black uncle: "Hougist seems to have changed his shooting posture, he doesn't seem to shoot like this?" ”

"Yes, although it turned out to be ugly, but the pervert is accurate, but now it's picturesque, but it doesn't seem to be practiced, right? This shot is completely inaccurate! Another speculated.

The black uncle didn't speak, touched his beard thoughtfully, his son had consulted with Hoggist a few times, although Hougist shot accurately, but he really never suggested that others learn his shooting posture, it seems that he is going to enter high school to play in the intraweek league and really made up his mind to change his shooting posture. Although Sean has also appeared in the league. Marion, Kevin. Martin, Carlos. Boozer, "Red Mamba" Matt. Bonner has been a god shooter with "weird" or "weird" shooting movements, but throughout history, the top shooters have been those who shoot in picturesque positions. This is enough to show that Hoggist wants to go further and want to enter the league and make his own piece of the world.

And Anthony on the pitch. Bennett didn't think much about it, standing at the top of the arc and taking the ball to make a breakthrough, but Hoggist ignored his three-threat move, but instead stepped back to the free throw line to prepare to prevent Bennett's ball-holding breakthrough, Bennett was stunned for a moment, and actually reminded him kindly: "I said Mr. Hurley, you may not know my technical characteristics, although I am taller than you and stronger than you, but my projection ability is not bad!" Are you sure you want to step back that far and let me shoot? ”

Horgist shrugged his shoulders and said with a smirk, "Who knows? You can give it a try! After saying that, he still lowered his center of gravity near the free throw line and waited for it.

Anthony Bennett was angry when he saw this, and thought to himself, I am the No. 1 high school student in Nevada who came here to fight bulls with you, how much do you look down on me? Why do you put me so far? Could it be that you think of me as a muscle stick that can only play inside and has no projection ability? Let me give you some color! Excessive pride will eventually hurt you.

Thinking of this, Anthony. Bennett also threw a three-pointer. But when he just jumped up, Haugist also pounced on him at the same time, Bennett sneered in his heart, put it so far, I jumped up and you pounced, it's too late! Watch me tear your pride apart.

But Anthony. Bennett didn't stay complacent for long, when he just threw the ball out of his hand, Hoggist's fingers had already rubbed against the ball, although only the first knuckle of the middle finger rubbed a little, but it was enough to change the arc of the ball, and sure enough, the ball bounced off the back edge of the basket under Hougist's interference.

"The speed of the bullet is terrible! You can pounce on it if you put it so far! ”

"He's a perverted man with a long reach, and Bennett is a head taller than him! The jumper was actually reached by him! ”

Just the first ball, the atmosphere off the field has been ignited!
