Chapter 10: Street Race II

The second battle of the street game between Sun Yue and the "Marauders" is about to start again, and it is known that one team has defeated the "Marauders" who have been entrenched here for many years, and they are all calling friends to watch the second game in the streets and alleys, and there are more and more people around the Santa Sisila Stadium.

On a stone bench next to the Santa Sisera Stadium sat a thin, gray-haired middle-aged man, who never shouted cheers, but watched the game in silence while jotting something down on a piece of paper, looking a little out of place with the noisy crowd around him.

The gray-haired, middle-aged man is Mel, the vice president of the Detroit Pistons competition department, and today is the day he comes to worship at Santa Sithera Church.

After the week, Mel occasionally likes to come to the nearby street basketball court to watch the ball and relax, and he has always been noncommittal about street basketball, but it is also fun to watch these children play.

This time, the team that came to challenge the "Predators" aroused Mel's interest, and the big man on the inside could be seen from the pegboard hat that he was in excellent physical condition, outstanding defense and rebounding ability, and was a good interior defensive giant.

Mark on the perimeter shoots accurately, defends fiercely, and combines ball ability, a typical 3-and-D player.

What caught Mel's attention the most was the yellow point guard, although he didn't show much from this game, but it was obvious that he had a higher court aura than the rest of the court, and Mel, who was an excellent scout who had unearthed several star players, knew that this player had what he wanted.

In the first game, the point guard, nicknamed "Skipper", showed good vision of the court and an excellent sense of the big picture, often under his command, his own players could always receive his comfortable passes in the open space.

His offensive fundamentals are also very solid, and he can always use the most effortless method to send the basketball in, if it weren't for Dorsey's somewhat shrunken because of being beaten, the "Predators" would only lose more.

And the vicious Mel also found out that this treacherous defender obviously didn't do his best in the first game, and Stephen's racist words must have angered him, and it seems that the "Marauders" are going to make a big deal today.

Under the gaze of Mel and the rest of the court, the coin fell head-on, and Sun Yuefang had the ball.

Sun Yue dribbled powerfully at the top of the arc, completely different from the carelessness of the first game, like a beast that sees its prey, ready to tear apart the prey in front of it at any time.

Looking at Sun Yue, whose momentum was completely different, Stephen regretted a little and asked to play the second game, but he was arrogant and would never admit defeat, he lowered his center of gravity, kept a half-step distance in front of Sun Yue, and kept waving his arms to interfere.

Sun Yue turned his back to the basket sideways, using his strong back to cover the basketball in his hand. But it's too far from the basket to turn around and shoot. Stephen said disdainfully: "It's back singles again, do you have any other tricks?" ”

Sun Yue completely ignored Stephen's cynicism, and suddenly turned to the left, Stephen immediately moved his center of gravity to the left to defend Sun Yue's turnaround jumper, and suddenly "whoosh", Sun Yue quickly turned his back in the opposite direction, and completely cleaned up Stephen, who had not reflected.

Minoni, the inside line of the "Predators", did not expect that the guard, who began to focus on shooting and passing, would turn around and break through so quickly, and he did not make up for it at the first time.

When Minoni bypassed Dorsey and wanted to make up for Sun Yue, he found that the ball in Sun Yue's hand was gone. Minoni instinctively looked back at the basket, "stupid", Mel had already guessed the outcome of the ball.

Sun Yue threw the basketball to the rebound, and at the same time, he also jumped high with a run, just catching the rebounding basketball. Sun Yue smashed his anger into the basket along with the basketball, and Sun Yue just wanted to say one thing at this time; "I can really do whatever I want on this basketball court."

A beautiful turn and a hit board air relay buckle! The entire basketball court was set ablaze with this astonishing dunk, "skipper, skipper, skipper." At first, only a few people shouted Sun Yue's name, and slowly the whole audience began to shout, this is street basketball: the winner is king.

Sun Yue likes this feeling very much, responds to doubts with strength, and proves himself with basketball.

"It feels so good to dunk." Sun Yue, who has always been a pragmatist, usually thinks that dunks, layups, and shots are all two points, and scoring goals in the most effortless way is the king.

But this slam dunk ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, and the "Marauders" players were also in awe because of this dunk, and Sun Yue began to like this feeling.

Perhaps this dunk completely broke the morale of the "Marauders" team, and in the next game, Sun Yue completely dominated the game, he took out all the weapons in his arsenal, and Stephen couldn't prevent Sun Yue from firing at all.

If the opponent pinched Sun Yue, he would send the ball to his teammates in the open space, and Mark and Dorsey could also put the basketball in the basket.

At 10:3, the "Marauders" lost to Sun Yue's team again with a disparity in scores.

The game was over, Stephen stood there dejectedly, suddenly his shoulders sank, and his two teammates came over, Stephen thought that if he didn't have to play the second game, the "Marauder" would not be so abused, he lowered his head and said: "Minoni, Willis, I'm sorry, I lost the bet this time." ”

"Boss, what are you talking about, if you win, we will hi together, and if you lose, we will carry it together." Willis said righteously, and the taciturn Minoni nodded heavily, indicating that he meant the same thing......

"Skipper, willing to lose, it's a thousand dollars, you count." Stephen handed Sun Yue the $1,000 that the three of them had put together.

Stephen quickly rejuvenated from the loss of losing money: "Skipper, next time we rematch, the next time the Marauder will be stronger." ”

Sun Yue stretched out his fist and fisted Stephen, a promise between two real basketball players: "A word is a certainty, you are always welcome, Stephen." ”

"Wait, skipper." After Stephen finished speaking, he left the San Sithera Stadium with the "Marauders" and the unwilling to lose.

"Skipper, it's nice to earn these dollars, and it's nice to meet you." Dorsey happily counted the dollars in his hand, "I heard that you and Mark are both from the University of Michigan, but unfortunately I have agreed to go to the University of Memphis, otherwise we can fight side by side." ”

A good point guard is what all basketball players dream of, and of course Dorsey will meet another excellent point guard at the University of Memphis, but with a completely different style.

After saying goodbye to Dorsey, Sun and Mark left Santa Cesira Stadium and boarded the bus back to the University of Michigan.

Due to the long drive back, the two of them sat in the back row of the bus, Sun Yue was still thinking about the middle-aged man who just claimed to be the vice chairman of the Detroit Pistons, and the vice chairman of a team would also come to see street basketball, thinking about it, Sun Yue threw the business card given by Mel just now into the trash can on the car.

Mark, who had not spoken, suddenly asked; "Hey, skipper, why are you so passionate about basketball, and what are your dreams?"

Mark's sudden question caught Sun Yue a little off guard, he thought about it seriously and said: "My dream is to enter the NBA and make some achievements, I just want to prove that no one can stop what I want." ”

Sun Yue's hot eyes when he said this actually made Mark a little afraid to look at him directly, Sun Yue said to Mark seriously: "Mark, you have to remember that if you give up, it will never be possible, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, you have to use your life's work to catch him, this is the dream." ”

The encounter with Sun Yue completely changed Mark's fate, and the fate of Mark, who was originally unknown according to history, took a turn at this moment, and since then he has embarked on a completely different life path.
