Chapter 5: Shorty Stays Away from Basketball
The selection of the basketball team came earlier than expected, and Dongfang Lu dragged Liu Ji to sign up. The selection of pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was just three days later. When Dongfang Lu got the selection requirements, he immediately rushed over to question the members of the basketball team. But fortunately, Liu Ji pulled Dongfang Road as soon as possible, otherwise even if Dongfang Road's technology is good, what can you do if people don't want you.
The first item of selection that Dongfang Road got was the height requirement, which required more than 1.7 meters. Dongfang Lu realized at this time that he was only the first year of junior high school. Several of the students in the first year of junior high school are above 1.7 meters. Not everyone wants Liu Ji to be as tall as himself, such as himself.
The other selections are some basic conditions, fixed-point shooting, touching height on the spot, group confrontation, and breaking through with the ball, these are not a thing for Dongfang Road, but what about the hard condition of height?
The brothers were not in the mood to sweat on the basketball court after school, and they sat in the grove next to the school playground. Liu Ji couldn't think of a good way to make Dongfang Road three centimeters long in three days, and Liu Ji could only help.
Dongfang Lu sighed: "There is no other way than to join the basketball team?" ”
Liu Ji saw that Dongfang Road was showing signs of returning to a listless state, and he was secretly anxious in his heart. But at this time, he must let Dongfang Lu cheer up, otherwise the selection in three days will be out of play.
"There's no way." Liu Ji said calmly, "There is only one way to join the basketball team!" ”
Dongfang Lu pounded the big tree behind him, stood up suddenly, and screamed twice in his mouth, I Dongfang Road doesn't believe in it, but it is not an assessment!
Liu Ji didn't want Dongfang Road to fight to the death in three days, so he had to act now. Liu Ji also stood up and walked out of the campus with Dongfang Road.
Dongfang Lu asked Liu Ji what good way you thought of. Liu Ji said, I thought of a solution, but it is not necessarily a good way. Dongfang Lu smiled and slapped Liu Ji and said, I know that you kid is the most clever, there must be some way. Liu Ji smiled bitterly and asked, how much money do you have on you. Dongfang Road dug out his pocket, a dozen yuan, what are you going to do? Liu Ji was silent when he heard it.
Liu Ji led Dongfang Road all the way, and Dongfang Road didn't ask Liu Ji where he wanted to take him. The two of them walked and watched the scenery of the city, although they had moved to the city for more than half a month, but they hadn't taken a good look at the city.
The shops in the city are more magnificent than those in the county, the buildings in the city are taller and better looking than in the county, and there are more people and cars on the streets of the city. Other than that, there is nothing new either. Dongfang Lu thought in his heart.
"Liu Ji, when did you become so familiar with the city, where are we going, you know the way, right?" Watching Liu Ji lead himself more and more, it doesn't seem to be a prosperous place.
Liu Ji is not sure if he has come to the wrong place, his mother once brought him over, so he walked again, and it is forgivable to be wrong, but the general direction must be right. "It's almost there, we're here to find the secret weapon."
As soon as he heard the secret weapon, Dongfang Lu became energetic and asked, "What are you looking for, I'll help you find it." ”
Saying that, Liu Ji had already led Dongfang Road around a corner, and what appeared in front of Dongfang Road was a large row of shops, all of which were selling shoes.
"Haha, I found it, I said it must be here." Liu Ji seemed very excited, his memory was really reliable.
Dongfang Road was inexplicable: "Shall we buy shoes?" I didn't have any money. ”
"It's okay, we're here to buy shoes." Liu Ji skillfully picked and chose from the stalls, "This is a shoe city, and they usually come to wholesale." It's cheap to buy shoes here. My mom brought it last time. ”
There weren't many customers at the wholesale market, the stall owners were sitting around playing cards, and no one greeted the two students, who didn't look like big customers.
Dongfang Lu also learned from Liu Ji to pick and choose in the stall, but he really didn't know what to pick, he asked Liu Ji: "What are you looking at, do you have any tricks?" Liu Ji said: "I don't know, my mother was like this last time, and after looking at it for a while, she asked, 'Boss, do you have any shoes that my child wears?'" "Oh." Dongfang Lu looked like he understood.
The two of them picked all the way, and walked to a shop where the boss was sitting playing with his mobile phone, and Liu Ji asked: "Uncle, do you have any shoes that can make my brother look taller?" The owner who sold shoes slowly raised his head, glanced at Liu Ji, and then slowly glanced at Dongfang Road, raised his hand slightly, pointed to a corner of the stall, and whispered, "There." Then he slowly lowered his head and looked intently at his phone.
Dongfang Lu and Liu Ji glanced at each other, Dongfang Lu shrugged his shoulders, and looked for the place pointed by the owner of the shoe seller. There is an earthy yellow cardboard on top of this area, which at first glance is torn from a random box, and it is scribbled on it: increase the height inside, buy one get one free.
Dongfang Lu finally understood what Liu Ji was thinking, he looked at Liu Ji, Liu Ji smiled embarrassedly, I just said, maybe it's not a good idea.
But Dongfang Lu definitely can't come up with any ideas on his own, and having an idea is better than not having an idea. Besides, what if it succeeds? Phew! How can it be just in case, it must be successful! My happiness depends on you. But-
But I don't have any money. Dongfang Lu told Liu Ji that he had more than a dozen yuan on him. Liu Ji smiled mysteriously+3, I have been preparing dozens of yuan, thinking that maybe one day you will get into trouble, we will use it, and these dozens of dollars should be used here. Dongfang Lu asked, even if there are a few dozen yuan, it is not enough. We didn't buy more than 200 shoes at any time. Liu Ji said that this is a wholesale place, and the price is different from that in the store. You try which one fits first.
Dongfang Lu chose a one that did not quite fit his personality, according to Dongfang Lu's consistent style, he should choose a domineering one, and it was an exaggerated style at first glance. But today Dongfang Road picked a pair of black ones. Dongfang Lu explained that since we want to cheat, we can't be so ostentatious. Liu Ji nodded approvingly. Dongfang Lu asked Liu Ji how much the shoes were, and Liu Ji said buy one and get one hundred yuan free, and I gave the boss sixty. Dongfang Lu gave Liu Ji a thumbs up, you are still more handsome.
Dongfang Lu put on the inner height shoes, and it was really a lot taller suddenly. Although the owner of the shoe seller moved slowly, the store arranged a height and weight meter, which was to put in a dollar. Dongfang Lu invested the only remaining dollar, and saw that he had miraculously risen by four centimeters. Don't lie to me. Dongfang Lu screamed when he saw the numbers, as if he had entered the reserve team of the basketball team.
On the way back, Liu Ji pulled Dongfang Road, which was running happily, and said worriedly, there is only one problem now-
Don't know if you can take off your shoes when measuring your height?
