Chapter 11: Ilan
After sitting for three seconds, Roy realized that he had fallen asleep.
The ball god, Jordan, the basketball court, the ball king system, everything is nowhere to be found, without a trace.
What happened? Could it be that the scene of the past is just a beautiful dream?
There is no ball god at all? Don't have a ball king system at all? There is no such thing as a "chosen one" at all?
Everything is back to normal.
Roy couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he had only established an interest in basketball, and his hopes for the future disappeared in an instant.
All that awaited him was the harsh rebuke of his parents.
"Roy! I'll let you study hard at home, you're good! Sleep in? When do you say you're not lazy? ”
The first to attack is Lao Luo, he is an honest man, honest people are often the most stubborn when they are angry, and the words they say are also straightforward and harsh.
Roy was powerless to refute the fact that he slept in.
"Xiao Luo, what kind of evil did you fall for today, who asked you to touch my cabinet!"
Yilan's question followed, she is a generation of basketball women, nearly 1.9 meters tall, broad shoulders, and resolute, this momentum is incomparable to Lao Luo.
"That...... I ......" Roy couldn't answer.
Now explaining to my parents that I have practiced basketball with the ball god and Jordan is tantamount to a fool's dream.
There was a vibration, and the phone rang.
Roy peeked in.
There are three words written on the WeChat issuance recognition: Cheng! Zi! Hope!
Cheng Zixi, it's Cheng Zixi, she is alive!
This unexpected WeChat, like a spark in the dark, instantly ignited the hope in Roy's heart, and those depression, distress, and doubts were instantly burned clean.
The existence of Cheng Zixi proves that all today's experiences are real.
Roy suddenly got up and rushed into the bathroom.
Sure enough, the dirty clothes that I had changed out of the shower before were still there.
"What the hell are you doing?" Lao Luo followed.
"What is this?" Lao Luo pointed to the dirty clothes stained with mud, "Have you gone out today?" Roy! How are you getting bolder! I used to secretly watch TV and sleep lazy, but now I dare to run out into the wild! ”
Lao Luo raised his right hand, but when he thought of the scene where he beat his son during the day, he hesitated and couldn't make up his mind.
Lao Luo's hand hung in the air, unresolved.
"Roy, be honest with Mom, where have you been today? Don't worry, Mom doesn't blame you. Ilan noticed Roy's anomaly, her tall figure separating him from Lao Luo.
If Roy's feelings for his father are more fearful, then his mother is completely convinced.
From childhood to adulthood, my mother was the person who loved and cared for Roy the most, and for Roy, my mother suffered a lot of grievances.
At this time, his mother asked, and Roy's heart faltered.
Believe it or not, Roy was determined to tell the truth.
"I ...... I went out to play basketball today......"
"Playing basketball? Who allowed you to play basketball? Didn't I tell you many times that children who engage in sports are not good at reading......"
"Ahem." Yilan interrupted Lao Luo's angry scolding with two dry coughs.
Lao Luo immediately realized his aphasia, in the end, the original partner around him was also from a sports background.
"Xiao Luo, do you know how to play basketball? Aren't you the most sports-hating one? When he said this, Ilan's tone was much softer.
"I ...... I really like basketball......"
Hearing that his son likes basketball, Yilan's mood suddenly became complicated, first heartfelt joy, happy that his son can like basketball as much as himself, and then deeply worried, now it is a critical moment to meet the college entrance examination, playing basketball is bound to distract his energy.
"Are you sure you can play basketball?" It immediately occurred to Elan that there was another possibility, that Roy was lying.
"A little bit." Roy spoke cautiously.
"Will it be a little? Who taught you to play basketball? ”
Ilan knows his son, and since he was a kid who had gone through a number of failed tryouts, he shy away from sports.
Who, when, and why got Roy into basketball?
Roy replied tremblingly: "Mom, don't you disbelieve me when I say it, don't laugh at me, okay?" ”
"As long as you tell the truth, mom won't laugh at you."
"That, Mom, do you know Michael Jordan?"
"How could mom not know him, even your dad, your grandparents, and grandparents know who Michael Jordan is."
"That'...... That's him......"
Roy rubbed his hands together, looking embarrassed.
"Say it again." Ilan almost choked, she couldn't believe her ears.
"The ...... who taught me how to play basketball It's Jordan......"
"What? Say it louder. Ilan approached Roy, and although Roy looked a little nervous, his eyes were unflustered.
"Mom, what I said is true, it was Michael Jordan who taught me basketball."
"You little bunny! I'm going to lie now! See how I clean you up! Lao Luo, who had been watching for a long time, couldn't help it, he rushed up and took advantage of the situation to make a move.
The burly Elan grabbed it.
"What are you murdering?" Elan shouted angrily.
Poor "strict wife" Lao Luo, as soon as he heard Yilan's shouting, he immediately lost his momentum just now, and retreated to the side with angry eyes.
"Xiao Luo, doesn't your mother suspect you of lying, but don't you feel blushing yourself? Jordan knows you? He's an American basketball superstar, how could he be in China? Even if he did come, would he look for you? You tell me honestly, don't you want to study, so you make excuses to be lazy? ”
"Mom......" Roy bit his lip hard, "you asked me to tell the truth, and what I said was the truth......
With clear eyes and firm eyes, Ilan couldn't see a flaw, and her son would never lie to her.
Ilan relented.
"It doesn't matter who taught you basketball, you tell your mom, do you really know how to play basketball?"
"I know a little, I just learned the ...... today"
"Still lying, today I went home to get something, and I found you watching TV!" Lao Luo took the opportunity to make another accusation.
Yilan didn't give Lao Luo a good face, and now he stopped talking at all.
"Roy, Mom knows that you are under a lot of pressure to study and don't want to stay at home, but if you don't study hard, you can't get into a good university, and if you can't get into a good university, you can't find a good job.
"Mom, play basketball...... Playing basketball will allow me to get into the best universities in the world and make a lot of money......"
When it came to the word money, Roy's voice almost disappeared, and he was a little lacking in confidence.
"What do you say? Do you want to be a professional athlete? Ilan was once again deeply shocked.
Today's Roy is indeed very abnormal, very abnormal, he not only said that he "likes basketball", but also came up with the idea of becoming a professional athlete.
Ilan touched Roy's head, and there was no fever.
He pinched his arm again, and did not dream.
"Who told you that playing basketball can go to college and make a lot of money?" Ilan didn't give up.
"Basketball...... Basketball...... The gods. ”
Snort, Ilan couldn't cry or laugh, Roy's every word could surprise her.
What likes basketball, what he studied under Jordan, what wants to be a professional player, and now the god of basketball, who is he? When was Roy so imaginative?
Without time to think about it, Ilan decided to cut through the mess and solve the problem quickly.
"Xiao Luo, it's better to be like this, if you want to become a professional basketball player, Mom can give you a chance. You and your mom are one-on-one, if you can beat mom, mom will allow you to do what you like, but if you lose to mom, then study honestly and don't have such unrealistic dreams again, okay? ”
"Wife, ......" Lao Luo couldn't help but want to interject, but in exchange for only a roll of his eyes.
Ilan doesn't like people to doubt her basketball skills.
As the former main player of the Shanghai women's basketball team, a generation of national players who were selected for the national team in their heyday, can't even a child who has never exercised beat?
"Okay." After thinking about it for three seconds, Roy agreed.
