Chapter 11: The St. Lawrence Turkeys
The early morning sun dappled the grey asphalt road through the gaps in the trees.
Bai Xiaonian and Zheng Nicole walked side by side on the road, with the vigor of the early morning, the footsteps of the two looked vibrant, since the two found out that day that they went home by the way, they went to school together, and they were inseparable from school.
Different from the past, Bai Xiaonian not only carried his schoolbag behind his back, but also hung a pink bag on his chest, this bag was naturally Xiao Nicole's, and after the two went to school together, Xiao Bai Children's shoes became a free porter for Xiao Nizi.
Zheng Nicole, who was walking beside Bai Xiaonian, had a hesitation on her face, as if she had something to say to Bai Xiaonian.
"Bai Xiaonian, is basketball really that interesting to you?" Finally, Nicole Zheng twisted and said the question that was buried in her heart that day and puzzled her.
"Basketball? Yes, I think if basketball were Rhett in "Gone with the Wind", I would be the deranged Scarlett, although my feelings for it are stop-and-go, but in the bottom of my heart, I always love it deeply. Bai Xiaonian didn't expect this little girl to suddenly ask like this, and thought about it.
Zheng Nicole burst out laughing, "You are really a selfish carrot!" The little girl, who was light-hearted, joked to Bai Xiaonian.
The jokes along the way, the encounter of a lifetime, the red early sun sprinkled on the two of them, and the green shadow was long...
βββββββββββ
"Bai Xiaonian! Did you hear that? Today, the school's basketball team is openly recruiting, alas! Let's try it, shall we? As soon as Bai Xiaonian came to the classroom, Clay ran over and said with an excited face.
"The school's basketball team? That's really good news. Bai Xiaonian touched his chin and said.
"That's right! When the time comes, let's form the St. Lawrence backcourt double gun and lead the team to the top! Wha..."Klay, who has not yet joined the team, has already begun to indulge in the cheers he has drawn on the court.
Bai Xiaonian stepped forward and patted Clay's shoulder, whose head had already begun to heat up, and said something that he liked very much in his previous life: "Young man! Too young, too simple..."
Ten years have passed since Bai Xiaonian's freshman, during which he still practiced hard, but basketball is a collective sport, even if the individual ability is strong, if you don't know how to cooperate tactically, it is in vain, and the healthy competition of the same team and the careful teaching of the coach are also very necessary for the improvement of individual skills. Therefore, it is imperative for him to join the basketball team of St. Lawrence, and there is no better way to return to his previous form and continue to improve his skills than to hone himself in the basketball team.
Because of thinking about joining the basketball team, Bai Xiaonian spent the morning in a trance, even if Zheng Nike stomped her feet in a hurry, it was useless.
And Clay is even more exaggerated, after saying those words to Xiaobai in the morning, people mysteriously don't know where to run, just quietly told his good friend that he was going to conduct secret special training, and also sent out an invitation to ask if he wanted to go together, this time Bai Xiaonian decisively refused, playing basketball is a long-term and continuous process, where can a morning special training be improved?
After school in the afternoon, Bai Xiaonian went through the left and right in the classroom before Clay returned to the classroom out of breath, and the duo of class A slowly shook towards the school basketball hall. By the time they arrived, there was already a long queue here, and looking at the line with no end in sight, Clay patted his head in annoyance: "I should have come early if I knew there were so many people." β
In fact, in St. Lawrence, except for the strange first-year class A, basketball has always been a very popular sport, so only Bai Xiaonian and Clay in the crowd are late like two fools, and many people in other classes directly choose to skip the last class to occupy a position in advance, it is said that this time the team only recruits five people, if the front is full of people in the back, there is no chance to show themselves! After learning this very unfortunate news, Bai Xiaonian and Clay hugged their heads in pain...
However, it seems that the basketball team's selection of new players is very strict, and the dozen or so people who went in front of them all came out with sad faces, which made Bai Xiaonian and Clay breathe a sigh of relief. These two feel-good self-effacing people think that their skills are perfectly fine for the team, but if the selection of their team is over before it is their turn, who are they going to cry to.
After waiting for nearly an hour, Bai Xiaonian and the others were allowed to step into the door of the basketball hall. As soon as you walk into the stadium, the first thing you feel is that it is extraordinarily luxurious, with light-colored maple floors, advanced electronic displays, and central air conditioning with constant temperature all year round... All the details show the school's support and commitment to the turkey team. The bright red of the home team's jersey was integrated into every aspect of the arena, surrounded by flaming red seats that could accommodate more than 7,000 spectators at the same time, and a huge banner hung in the air: Welcome to the St. Lawrence Turkeys! The bright red font seems to tell the invading enemy to escape from this stadium, and it is impossible to go through a fierce battle of blood and fire!
The strange name of the turkey team is said to have been personally decided by the first principal of St. Lawrence, and legend has it that this strange principal was fond of eating turkey, and once again, someone came to ask for the name of the school's basketball team and casually said "turkey". But apart from the ugly name, the strength of the turkeys in the entire Bay Area should not be underestimated, especially when the junior high school reached the semifinals of the third division of the continent last year.
Because the junior high school students graduated and entered the high school this summer, the strength of the team was greatly weakened, and the coach of the team decided to pick a few improvisable and eye-catching new students among the new students as fresh blood to make up for the vacancy of the old people's departure.
Bai Xiaonian and Clay, a total of ten children, lined up in the middle of the court, and everyone, including the Bai Ke duo, looked excitedly left and right, looking at this place that might be what they might be fighting for in the future.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a hooked nose walked towards the people with a fierce look, and his eyes flashed with bad intentions.
"Okay boys, I'm the head coach of the team, you can call me Joseph, and then let me take a good look at your strength! Don't be like those soft eggs in front of you, the assessment of our team is really simple, as long as you do it, you can be called an honorable member of the turkey team! The hook man said loudly.
As soon as I heard the head coach of the team admit that the assessment was very simple, these little guys were naΓ―ve and ready to do a big job.
Only Bai Xiaonian disdainfully pursed his mouth: "Only a fool can believe his nonsense!" If it were as simple as he said, would these five opportunities still be left to us? β
Looking at Joseph who was smiling evilly in front of him, our little white children's shoes directly labeled him as a lewd uncle!
