Chapter 2 I want to play basketball
"Who is Derek Rose?"
Roy's answer almost choked "Rose" in front of him.
Unexpectedly, Ross was the most valuable player of the NBA generation back then, the global jersey sales champion, and the news figure bombarded by the media, and there would be young people who didn't know him? And it's such a young man who is suspected of being an athlete.
"Don't you watch basketball?" "Rose" still couldn't help but complain.
"Don't look at ......"
"Then you should always watch TV, right?"
"Don't look at it, Dad won't let me see ......"
"No one around you talks about Derrick Rose?"
"We only discuss learning ...... in our class"
"Don't you wonder who I am?"
"Who are you?"
"Derek Rose!"
"I don't know ......"
The two of them chatted and went around in a circle, and the strangeness and vigilance that they should have had eased a lot.
However, there is still a problem.
"Why are you in my room?" Roy finally found the crux of the problem.
"Tuk-tuk." A knock on the door interrupted the conversation.
The door opened, and Lao Luo, who was slightly guilty, appeared at the door.
"Daddy......" Roy was a little overwhelmed, wondering how to explain the sudden extra black friend in the room.
"I ...... Let me introduce you to you, this is a friend I just met...... Derek ......"
"Xiao Luo...... Are you okay, it's the father who is not good......" Looking at his son talking to himself, Lao Luo was even more distressed, and he asked himself if his requirements were too high and too heavy, and the poor son was hallucinating.
"Dad, I'm fine, I'll introduce you, this is ......" Roy pointed to a cloud of air and defended matter-of-factly, Lao Luo became more and more sure that Xiao Luo was beaten up in question, and he interrupted Roy with a serious face.
"Son, it's Dad who is wrong, Dad shouldn't beat you, but you will know later that Dad is doing this for your good."
"No, Dad, it's really Derek Rose, I've been talking to him for a long time......"
"Okay, okay, son, I know you're still blaming Dad, don't scare Dad, as long as you are admitted to college, Dad will promise you whatever you want, okay?"
"Dad, can't you see him? I'm not bragging......"
Lao Luo gagged Roy's mouth and touched his immature little face.
"Son, I know you're working hard, don't blame Dad, just take a break today, Dad won't force you, but you have to study hard from tomorrow, okay? Dad is going back to work. β
"I ......"
Roy had to explain something, and "Rose" gave him a shut-up gesture, and Roy shut up.
"Bang." Lao Luo left, leaving only Roy standing in a daze.
"Daddy is alright...... He can't see you......" Worry was written on Roy's face.
"Don't worry, your father is normal, in fact, you are the only one in this world who can see me." "Rose" smiled weirdly.
"Ahh Who are you? Roy's heart suddenly hung up again, his hairs stood on end, and his scalp tingled.
"Rose" waved his hand, meaning not to be nervous.
"Let me officially introduce you, in fact, I lied to you just now, I am not Derrick Rose, my real identity is the god of basketball, you can call me 'God of the Ball'."
"Daddy...... Why can't Dad see you? Roy didn't listen at all, and when he saw his father gone, he couldn't help but get scared.
"Did you listen to me, I'm the god of basketball, I came here for you, because you're a top talent in basketball."
The ball god kept a puzzled smile, but at this moment, the ball god's smiling face made Roy look goosebumps.
"Liar...... I don't know how to play basketball at all...... What the hell are you......"
"Again, I'm the god of basketball, and trust me, playing basketball can fulfill your every wish."
"Liar...... You're a ghost......"
"Don't get excited, take it easy."
Seeing that persuasion was useless, the ball god thought about it and wanted to start with practical problems to persuade this Asian child.
"I really didn't lie to you, I repeat, I'm the god of basketball, I'm a god, you might as well tell me, what is your greatest wish right now? I'm sure I'll be able to help you make it happen. β
"I ......" The naΓ―ve Roy was really wrapped in, he thought about it for a few seconds and replied, "I don't want to do my homework......"
"It's simple, you can play basketball without studying."
"This ......" An illogical dialogue actually blinded Roy.
"I don't want to do my homework...... But I'm going to college......" Roy added.
"It's simple, playing basketball can get you to the best university in the world."
"Liar...... Dad said that those who do sports are children who are not good at reading......"
"I didn't lie to you, kid, you don't know that Derek Ross is a real top student at the University of Memphis, what kind of 'degree' would you use? Check it out for yourself. β
The ball god looked serious, and it seemed that there was something really going on.
"That'...... I...... I want a lot of money! "Roy is not giving up, he wants to continue to challenge, there are always things that the basketball gods can't satisfy.
"Hahaha, speaking of money, do you know how much money Rose can make a year playing basketball?"
"A lot?" Roy hesitated.
"Guess first."
"Hundreds of thousands?"
"Hahaha." The ball god smiled even more happily, "Even if Rose doesn't play for a year, he can earn a salary of 20 million, not including his other income." β
β2β¦β¦ 20 million RMB? Roy was stunned, and he simulated a long list of numbers in his mind, lots and lots of zeros, how many snacks, drinks, comics, and games could be bought with all that money, in short, enough for him to spend his life.
"It's dollars!" The pursuit of the ball god was sonorous and powerful, and Roy was completely speechless.
So much money? How much money can you make playing basketball? You can play basketball without studying, you can go to college by playing basketball, and most importantly, you can make a lot of money playing basketball, and Roy is fascinated by this condition that cannot be refused.
"Yes...... I...... I still want to have a girlfriend......" Roy is still making his final struggle.
"Don't be stupid, when you become a star, will there be fewer girls chasing you?"
"I ......," Roy surrendered completely, "as long as I play basketball...... Can you get all these benefits? β
"That's right, you're the chosen 'chosen one', and believe me, playing basketball can change your life."
"Really?" Roy was completely convinced, his mind full of images of money, mansions, famous cars, and beautiful women.
The ball god replied proudly: "It's true, now read it to me: I want to play basketball." β
"I ...... Think...... Beat...... Basket...... Qiu ......" spit out these five words, Roy's face turned red, like Eve who stole the forbidden fruit, he didn't know if it would work in the end, anyway, it seemed that as long as he promised the strange man in front of him, all fame and wealth would follow.
"Read it to me again, I want to play basketball."
"I want to ...... Playing basketball. β
"Hurry up, be resolute, I want to play basketball."
"I want to play basketball."
"Good, come back a few times, I want to play basketball."
"I want to play basketball, I want to play basketball, I want to play basketball......"
Under the guidance of the ball god, Roy was completely brainwashed.
"Okay, let's play basketball now." The ball turned forward, and Roy couldn't react.
"No, no...... I still have to do my homework......"
"What kind of homework to write, didn't your father say that as long as you can be admitted to college, he will promise you anything?"
"So what......" Roy looked confused.
"Let's go, what are you hesitating about, with your qualifications, only playing basketball can help you get admitted to college."
"That'...... Well......"
Roy gave up resistance completely, isn't it just playing basketball, it should be easier than reading......
