Chapter 15
"Helian, where did you run yesterday afternoon?" As soon as Joseph saw Haugist, he asked with a scowl face: "It's rare that the team is on vacation, and you are not at home to play with you, and you have not seen you on the two basketball courts you often go to, so I have wasted a precious rest time in the afternoon." β
"I'll go, aren't you stupid, can't you find me won't send a text message and make a call?" After listening to Joseph's words, Hougist felt very speechless, "The new smartphone has added the function of Internet access, not only the function of Internet access, you are stupid to scroll Twitter every day, right?" The basic functions of the mobile phone will not be used? β
"By the way, why don't you go on a date with Vitra on a rare vacation?" Hogist asked again.
"Don't mention it, she said it depends on my performance in this game, and she will have to play two doubles before she will go out on a date with me again." Joseph wept with a sad face.
"What?" Hoggist jumped up from his chair in anger, "I haven't even hit two pairs yet!" She's too demanding! β
"It's not that she's demanding, she just wants to see me self-motivated, and it's good for me." Joseph hurriedly excused Vitra.
"Okay, don't explain, I'm too lazy to take care of your business!" Hougist waved his hand, all he could think about was Qiu Jingli now.
"Don't, boss! You don't care where I get two pairs? I don't have to point to you if I want to brush the data! Joseph hurriedly grabbed Haugist, "Boss, you just let me brush ten assists!" β
"Yes, yes, but tell me, where have you and Vitra go? Pull hands? Kissed? Hoggist asked gossipingly.
"Do you have to say it?"
"Then I don't care about you, you can find a way to brush the data yourself."
"Don't, I said it doesn't work yet!" Joseph looked helpless, "I kissed her in the stairwell of the training hall after school on Friday. β
"Yes, buddy!" Hougist couldn't help but think of his kiss with Qiu Jingli.
"I'm not worth mentioning, boss, if you want to kiss, our school girls can line up from the basketball hall to the school gate." Joseph boasted, "Seriously, boss, how many letters have you read, do you have any of us who are in the picture to give you a staff officer?" β
"AUF2114 flights to Carson are open for boarding, please board at Gate 3."
The airport radio interrupted their conversation, and everyone boarded the plane under the guidance of Coach Dick, and although Vegas and Carson City were east and west of Nevada, the plane landed smoothly at Carson Airport in less than an hour.
Sitting on the bus rented by the school, Coach Dick repeatedly emphasized that everyone should hurry up and rest in the bus, and after lunch at Carson High School, it was followed by a one-hour stepping on the field, and then the game was coming.
This is also due to financial constraints, Cimaron Memorial High School has not made achievements in the state league in the past few years, and even fell into the state league for a time, so it has lost a lot of sponsorship, and it is not easy to ensure the round-trip expenses of all away games this season. Those basketball elite teams have a lot of sponsorship, such as Findlay High School because of Bennett's sweep of the state league for two consecutive years, the sponsorship is soft, flying away from home is a day in advance to sit in first class, stay overnight in a hotel near the arena, and play the next day full of energy.
However, Coach Dick firmly believes that the difficulties will soon pass, and with a star like Hougist who can stir up a situation, as little as three or five games, or as long as the team plays a magnificent record, sponsorship contracts will come flooding in.
With the swaying of the bus, everyone gradually fell asleep, and after a short rest, the bus arrived at its destination. Carson High School is the largest public high school in Carson City, and basically all the best basketball players in Carson City are gathered here. In terms of overall strength, excluding Findlay High School, which was invited to play in the national league, the hippie team of Carson High School should be a strong team second only to the Spartans, plus the Spartans have been tired after a long journey, this is really a tough battle. As for the Spartans' opener, it was Coach Dick who played away and forcibly played with the weak team.
After lunch, the Spartans went to the basketball arena at Carson High School for a step-on practice. Joseph had already gotten into the groove early, constantly picking up the ball, passing to Hoggist to shoot, picking up the ball again, and passing to Hoggist to shoot.
"Come on, Boss!" "Good shot! "Beautiful! "One more! "Oops! I only heard Joseph chattering on the court while Haugist was shooting, and finally Hoggist couldn't bear it anymore and smashed the ball back from Joseph.
"Shut up!" Hoggist roared, "Annoying! Isn't it just to help you brush up on the assist, I just promise! β
"Great, I promise no more!" Joseph closed his mouth and continued to feed Haugist seriously.
Suddenly, the door of the arena was pushed open, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.
From the gate came several large black men, all over 6 feet tall, with a very strong look on their bodies, led by a 6-foot-1-inch black man, with furrow-like braids on his head, a large gold chain around his neck, and a broad-shouldered Bennett.
"Which of you is Hurley?" The leader asked rudely.
This tone made people unhappy to hear it, and Hoggist stood up and replied, "Daddy is here." β
The Spartans let out a burst of laughter.
"Look at your thin appearance, the wind blows, right? Is this the first high school student in Las Vegas? It seems that it is also in vain, and I have been worried for a long time, it seems that the victory of today's game is already in our pocket! "The ditches sneered at each other.
"Haven't consulted Your Excellency yet?" Hougist asked suddenly, politely.
"Dimmit. Jackson, Carson City No. 1 high school student. Why haven't you heard of me? β
"Sorry, I haven't heard of it, I don't often watch legal programs." Hoggist explained.
The Spartans laughed again, and Joseph turned his head and whispered to Randolph: "This man dares to fight with the boss, what a shame on himself." β
Randolph smiled: "I saw the boss's trash talk in the last game, it's simply Peyton's possession, Jordan's rebirth, and Bird's rebirth!" β
"Hey, hey, Peyton's possession is appropriate, but what the hell are you Jordan reborn Bird reincarnated? Jordan and Big Bird aren't dead! Justin shook his head in corrective Randolph's statement.
Since they became teammates with Hoggist, they have been developed the ability to complain collectively, and as the training cooperation becomes more and more tacit, the ability to complain is also steadily increasing.
"You will also take advantage of your tongue for a while, and you will see the real chapter on the field later, you can ask for more blessings!" Jackson wanted to come to give the Spartans a dismount, but who expected that the Spartans were all so good at their mouths that they were choked up before they could say a few words, and they just wanted to scold the street.
Jackson slipped into the home team's locker room. Jackson angrily hammered the wardrobe. The hippies center Robert . Woods said indignantly, "It's so hateful, these Spartans players are too bad!" β
Jackson said viciously: "This Hougist is very good at talking, I don't know how good the ball is." Later, when the situation is not right, just call them with small gestures! β
"Understand, boss, don't worry, even if he is really the No. 1 high school student in Nevada, let him have no return!" The hippies reassured.
β¦β¦
The training session was over, and the Spartans returned to the locker room to rest and wait for the game to begin. Coach Dick walked into the room with the tactical board and said loudly: "I won't say much about the tactics, you can control it yourself." I'm emphasizing that the hippies have been in the Hippies since the third-grader Dimmit. Since Jackson became captain, the style of play has become more and more dirty, and you must pay attention to protect yourself on the court and watch out for their small movements. β
"Coach, why didn't you say it earlier? Actually, my GPA has recently reached below the passing mark, and according to the team's management regulations, I should be suspended now. I'll be cheering for you off the pitch in this game! When Justin heard that the other side was ruthless, he was decisively ready to admit it.
"Don't make a fuss, your grades in all compulsory courses are A, and the top 10 characters in the top 10 of the academic rankings are embarrassed to make such excuses!" Harris immediately exposed him.
"Justin, don't worry, I won't pass the ball to you in this game, if you don't attack, you won't be hurt by their small actions!" Hougist patted Justin on the shoulder to reassure him.
"No, I can shoot from the outside!" Justin begged.
"Shooting will be a stepping stone, and it's also very dangerous, aren't you afraid?"
"Hehe, I was kidding."
Hoggist suddenly turned pale and said: "Most of their small actions will definitely come at me, at the beginning of the game I will play a few more to test the viciousness of their attack, it really doesn't work Justin, we still have to rely on your fake fall, you didn't use it in the last game, you play with me more in this game, you have to do more with the ball to block and dismantle without ball cover, if the opponent has a small action, you must fly out in time to let the referee see." Then Haugist said to Randolph and Harris: "You two are also smart, if they pull your arms when you are stuck inside, you immediately raise your arms so that the referee can see the foul of the opponent, preferably with a scream of pain, to quickly attract the referee's attention." β
"Boss, why are you so experienced in dealing with this kind of person?"
"I'm okay with a provocation like the Pirates Scott and I agree it's part of the game. But I hate the black hand that harms other people's health the most in my life, and I think it's a crime and a crime! Hoggist said indignantly.
"Has the boss ever been hurt by someone else's black hand, why does the boss want to skin this kind of person alive?" Harris turned his head and asked Joseph quietly.
"Okay, everyone is a high school student, and it won't be too dark if you want to start, and there are referees on the field, so be careful, don't worry too much." Coach Dick told everyone not to focus on small movements.
Everyone changed into their uniforms and came to the field. Jackson's sharp eyes saw the LeBron 8 South Coast worn by Hoggist's feet, so he walked straight over and said to Hougist proudly, "Your shoes are good, I like them." β
βSowhat?β Hougist looked at Jackson like an idiot.
"If I win this game, you're going to give me my shoes." Jackson said contemptuously, as if he really had the game in his hands.
"And what if you lose?" Joseph leaned in and asked.
"Lose? We won't lose, but if you lose and get injured, you will lose more than you gain. There was a hint of menace in Jackson's words.
Haugist was just about to make a sarcastic remark, but a picture suddenly flashed through his mind. When getting off the bus at noon, Hougist saw a newly launched limited edition Dodge Challenger Mopar in the parking lot of Carson Middle School, with the license plate number DJAC09. Jackson wore the No. 9 jersey, and thought to himself that DJAC should be Dimmit. Jackson's abbreviation, 09 is his back number, he is already in his third year of high school and should be 16 years old, the United States law stipulates that you can get a driver's license if you are over 16 years old, and the car should be his. Make up your mind and say to Jackson in the same tone, "That Challenger Mopar is yours, right?" The car is good, I like it. β
"Do you want to say that if you win the race, I'll give you the car?"
"No, no, no, I know you don't dare bet." Hoggist replied with a mock contempt.
"Don't use agitation, taking a pair of shoes is like betting on a car with me, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world?" Jackson sarcastically.
"There are people with empty gloves, and the white wolf plans to bet on my shoes without giving anything, what is it for me to gamble on a car with the limited shoes signed by Emperor Zhan?" Hoggist turned back to the other team members and asked, "I wonder which person is more shameless?" β
Randolph thought for a while and said: "One has no capital and ten thousand profits to ensure income in drought and flood, and the other is to gamble on goods and goods to bear their own profits and losses, of course, the former kind of people are more shameless!" β
The rest agreed.
Dimitri. Jackson was so angry that he didn't laugh angrily: "Okay, okay, I can't say you guys, I'll take this bet." Isn't it just a car, this broken car is the worst one in my family, so I just went to school and drove it, what if I lose to you? I'm afraid that the most valuable thing in your family is these shoes, right? β
