When a person has tasted the delicacies, he will naturally be tasteless at home. Cooking is for the sake of satisfying the stomach, and delicious food is a higher level of spiritual pursuit.

Hoggist has fallen into such a state that he has not been interested in high school games since experiencing the summer league firsthand.

Even though the Spartans at Cimaron Memorial High School were invited to the National Invitational this school year instead of Findley High School, Hougist still felt that his opponent was too weak.

After returning from the summer league, Hoggist found that there was still a big gap between his body and NBA fringe players, so Hoggist began to focus his daily workout on core strength, and he practiced core strength for a period of time during the winter vacation of his freshman year of high school, and he could easily suppress his peers at that time, Hoggist was afraid of hurting his opponent in the game, so he didn't dare to continue to practice, and it seems that it is time to start it again.

Qiu Jingli is already in her third year of college, and in order to juggle her studies and take care of her sister-in-law at the same time, Qiu Jingli quit her job as a part-time teacher at Cimaron Memorial Hall Middle School.

Helianxi is 1 year old, and although he hasn't learned to walk yet, he can already stand firmly on his own without borrowing external force. Qiu Jingli stayed in Haugist's house in the name of taking care of the children, but still failed to find evidence of Old Helian's true identity. Haogist once felt that he and Qiu Jingli were very stupid, why did he have to bother to find some proof of identity, take a photo of Lao Helian and send it to Qiu Luoshui to see if he could tell the difference at a glance?

From the point of view of common sense, this is indeed a good way, Haojist can come up with such a way, Qiu Jingli was stunned and praised him for three or four days in a row.

However, after trying a lot of excuses, he finally took a positive photo of Lao Helian and sent it back, but Qiu Luoshui said that the person in the photo was too different in age from the little brother in his impression, and he couldn't tell whether it was the same person or not.

Qiu Jingli had no choice but to summarize the information she had collected so far and tell her mother one by one, and asked her to come to the United States to recognize people in person.

Qiu Luoshui is a busy man, researching in the mountainous areas of the northwest all year round, and he doesn't even have many opportunities to return to Beijing, how can he have the kung fu to go to the United States to recognize people, so this matter has been temporarily shelved.

Hoggist's family affairs were put on hold, but he caused a lot of trouble on the court. During a game against Kingston High School in North Carolina, Hougist hit his back too hard and defended him with a name named Blanton. A tall, lanky player in Ingram got a top injury.

It was near the end of the first half, the Spartans were leading by seven points, and Hougist was distraught by the long arm of Ingram who was defending him, and he had just been dunked by his fast break, so Haugist was going to play Ingram with his back to teach him a lesson.

Hougist's strength has long been the highest in the United States high school students, of course Ingram can't resist, and was soon pushed to the basket by Hougist, Hoggist turned and got strong, but an elbow was slammed into Ingram's chest, Ingram clutched his chest and fell down in pain, and Hougist took the opportunity to score an empty basket.

The crowd on the sidelines accused Hoggist of taking advantage of the danger, but Hoggist ignored the disgruntled boos of the crowd and reflexively prepared to return to the defense. But Ingram lay there and never got up, not even able to move his body. Thinking that his ribs were almost broken in the summer league, and looking at Ingram lying on the ground, Hoggist suspected that he was not lightly injured, and hurriedly stepped forward to check.

Haughist leaned down, and Ingram clutched his chest and fell to the ground in pain, the sound of short, urgent breaths proving that he was having some difficulty even breathing. Hougist shouted for the team doctor to come and ask the ambulance to prepare to take Ingram to the hospital.

After the team doctor came over to carefully check Ingram's condition, he stopped Hoggist's shouting in time, "What are you calling nonsense, this classmate?" Why call an ambulance? Do you pay the fare? ”

"You see he's having trouble breathing, he has to be rushed to the hospital, or he'll die here!" When human life is at stake, you are still thinking about the fare? ”

"Are you a doctor? You say it's critical, it's critical? Tell me what kind of illness he is. "The team doctor is dissatisfied with Hougist's layman's guidance to the insider.

"You see he's having trouble breathing, and he has a history of trauma to his chest, obviously a rib fracture that punctured the lung tissue, right?" Hougist analyzed.

"Less alarmist here! How can it be so exaggerated, he is so thin, it is obvious that you have a closed pneumothorax, there is no need for an ambulance, I will drive him to the hospital for a closed chest drainage. How do you high school students play ball without being light or heavy? The team doctor reprimanded.

Hoggist didn't like to listen to it, "Stop, stop, I am very teachable when you explain his condition to me, but how can you blame me for his injury?" My movements are all reasonable actions, and I don't have a black hand! He can't rely on me because he's too weak to be on my head, right? ”

The team doctor looked Haugist up and down, and persuaded him with good words: "You're too strong, aren't you?" Is it necessary to practice so fiercely? There aren't many high school students in the United States who can stand your elbow, right? Let's move lightly in the future! ”

The team doctor took Ingram to the hospital, and Haugist volunteered to be replaced. Sitting on the bench, Haugist thought about it carefully, he was preparing for entering the league, and now his body and strength have risen to a higher level, and it is estimated that he can compete with NCAA players, and he can't play high school games with all his strength now, otherwise he will hurt his opponent! But it's boring to not be able to play with all your might!

In the second half, Hougist sat on the bench and picked his nose in boredom, thinking about what to do with the next year and a half of high school games. Kingston High School lost Ingram's strength sharply, and the Spartans had a lead of more than 20 points, and the main players were all replaced and sat on the bench to laugh at themselves.

Joseph saw that Hougist was worried, so he leaned over and explained: "Boss, don't blame yourself, a thin and tall person like Ingram has too thin a fat layer on the chest wall to play a good cushioning role, and it is easy to damage the spontaneous pneumothorax!" It's not entirely your responsibility. ”

"Don't pretend to understand here! Doesn't your house sell burgers? Why are you talking about medicine again? Do chickens also have pneumothorax? Hollis Jefferson teased from the sidelines.

"Can't I teach myself? Anyway, boss, don't blame yourself! ”

"I'm not blaming myself, I'm thinking about how to play in the future, I'm too hard for fear of another hurtful incident like this, you can also help me think about it, what other weaknesses do I have that can be honed in the game without physical contact?" Hoogist intends to brainstorm ideas.

"Your dunk is not as good as LaVine, do you want to practice more?" Hollis Jefferson asked.

"Are you retarded? Doesn't a slam dunk require a physical confrontation? Joseph decisively seized the opportunity to taunt and fight back.

"Then I'll hear about you?" Hollis Jefferson asked rhetorically.

"I grew up playing with my eldest brother, and in my opinion, my eldest brother has no weaknesses!" Joseph said proudly.

"Well, this sycophant is beating quite loudly!" Hollis Jefferson scoffed.

"Cut, you're looking for a serious shortcoming? Don't you dare to make a bet, if you can't find out, you're my godson! Joseph said defiantly.

"And what if I find a flaw?" Hollis Jefferson asked.

"If you find it, I'll be your godfather!" Joseph replied happily.

"Good! How dare you kid fool me! Hollis Jefferson and Joseph were left to fight, leaving Hoggist alone in deep thought.

The least physical contact in the game should be long-range shots and passing, both of which I'm good at, but what are the little skills that I can polish again? Hoggist pondered and racked his brain, but still couldn't find his way.

At this time, an inside attack by the Spartans substitute was ruthlessly fanned by Kingston's center hat, and the ball landed on the away team's bench.

Hogist came to his senses, picked up the towel of Hollis-Jefferson next to him, wiped the basketball clean, and held the ball up to throw it back to the referee.

Hoggist raised the basketball with his left hand and aimed at the referee, but shook his head again, handed the ball back to his right hand, and threw it to the referee with one hand. The basketball landed safely in the arms of the referee, who smiled and nodded at Hoggist.

But a thought suddenly flashed through Haugist's mind, more and more intense, more and more clear, yes, it was the left hand! Although his left hand can dribble and go to the basket, but the strength and flexibility are not as good as the right hand, just now I wanted to throw the ball to the referee with my left hand, but I felt that I couldn't throw it so far, and I was forced to switch back to my right hand, so my left hand pass and shot still have a lot of room to rise!

Hougist's idea is good, but it's just a bit too much, throughout the history of the NBA, in addition to the left-handed player's left and right shots can be practiced to the same accuracy, it is difficult for normal right-handed players to practice the left hand like a right-handed self-take, BA Most players can do non-dominant hand is Hoggist's current state, can dribble, can go to the basket, but only can, what Hoggist wants to do now is to practice the left hand.

Thinking of this, Haugist couldn't hold back his excitement and went directly to Coach Dick to ask to play. Coach Dick looked at Hoggist in surprise, "Now there are 3 minutes left in the game, a 30-point lead, are you sure you want to play?" ”

"It doesn't matter, let me go!" Haugist demanded.

"That's not good, you don't care, I still have to take care of the face of the two teams! How can a team with a big lead come to the main force at the last moment? Coach Dick turned down Hougist's request with a straight face.

Although this game Haugist did not materialize"

The desire to go on the field to practice, but he already has a new goal and direction. Hoggist began practicing his left-handed passing and shooting at the National Invitational, while also practicing his core strength.

In the evening, the old Helian and his wife went to the night shift again, Qiu Jingli took care of Helian Xi at home, and Haojist was doing housework hard.

Helian Xi has been pampered since childhood, the old Helian couple and the "little Helian couple" both like to tease this cute baby, but the mother Candace is weak, she is the only one who is teaching Helian Xi to speak English, the old Helian, Helian Wu, Qiu Jingli are all teasing the child in Chinese, and now Helian Xi, who is more than 1 year old, can already call his brothers and sisters in Chinese, but when he calls his parents in English.

Qiu Jingli made the milk powder, and said to Haojist while feeding Xiao Xi'er: "Since you don't dare to use your strength in high school, why don't you try a college basketball game?" ”

"University? How can I, a high school student, compete in college? Haugist asked.

"Don't get into the horns of the bull in this regard! Although you can't participate in NCAA games, you can participate in college field balls and varsity team training games! Qiu Jingli said.

Hoggist's mind suddenly brightened, and he couldn't stop nodding, "You're right!" Why didn't I think of it? Devin is on the Rebels, and Bennett, I can play with them! ”

"Right! And UNLV is not far from here, you can get there in 10 minutes by car. After Qiu Jingli finished feeding, she handed the bottle to Haugist, who was sitting on the side to rest after mopping, "Go and wash the bottle for your sister!" ”

"Can't you just let me rest a little longer as soon as I finish mopping the floor?" Although he was complaining, Hoggist got up and took the bottle.

……

Hougist contacted Devin to ask about his involvement in the team's training, and since Bennett joined the team, Devon's status has been reduced, and he is no longer the team's top name, and the right to decide on some small matters has gradually been lost.

Devin reported the incident to Coach Odom, and Coach Odom knew about the name of Haugist, or the name of Haugist was known to everyone in Las Vegas. Hougist is already in his third year of high school, and he has 1 year to choose a college, and Coach Odom is worrying about how to get in touch with Hoggist, and Devin comes to the door, which is simply someone giving him a pillow when he is sleepy.

Coach Odom happily approved Haugist's request and asked Devin to tell Haugist that he was welcome to come at any time and that all the team's facilities were open to him free of charge.

Some people are happy and some are worried, Bennett felt a little aggrieved after hearing about this, how could he not escape the shadow of Hoggist wherever he went? He came to train with the team, and when the time came, his teammates would inevitably compare me with him, I was a college student, better than him as a high school student, and I didn't show my face, if I was like him or not as good as him, wouldn't it be a shame again?

Bennett's careful thinking is not in the scope of Coach Odom's consideration, since he knew that Hougist was going to train together, Coach Odom included Hougist in the training plan, because after watching Hougist's performance in the summer league, Coach Odom will not blindly treat Hougist as a strong high school student, in his eyes, Hoggist is definitely capable of playing as a starter in the college team now!
