For the first time in his life, Sid had the opportunity to attend training camp, and they arrived at the gym early, holding the ball and doing a simple training. Patin is also a training freak, he was very idle this summer, the British men's basketball team did not make it to the Olympics, he did not have to work hard to prepare for the Olympics like Waben and Mirisic.

According to Pattin's plan, he will practice hard this summer and stock up his fitness: the first round of last season's playoffs nearly broke him. Then, when the free market opens and looks at the offers of the teams, he goes to pick a next home. Also planning is Oku, as a second-round pick, the Turkish center has only signed a two-year contract with Detroit, and this year he is also a free agent and intends to change his home.

Both of them are training maniacs, and they also came to the gym early in the morning. The staff of the Palace of Auburn Hills were on vacation, and they couldn't go to training, so it happened that Huaben opened a training camp, and these two people also came in a hurry, nominally to help the boxing.

After Sid and the others arrived at the gymnasium, it happened that Padding and Oku had warmed up, and the two gangs had no training plans and began to split the balls.

Then, slowly, the number of people in the arena began to increase, and although these children had all watched NBA games, they rarely saw NBA players playing with their peers, so they gathered around the court to watch the game. It's the first time that Sid and the others have attracted so much attention since they were young, and they naturally play hard, and Patin and Oku are afraid of being injured by these children who are not light or heavy, so they are happy to help them make balls, and the group of people are very happy.

Soon after, however, several teenagers in uniform T-shirts entered, led by a brown-skinned boy with small curly hair and a rebellious face, shirtless, with gorgeous tattoos on his arms, chewing gum in his mouth, and his eyes scattered, as if he were not interested in anything.

But as soon as he walked into the stadium, the people around him immediately stared at him, and many people greeted them eagerly. The brown-skinned ruffian didn't look at the people who greeted him, but a black boy with long hands and feet next to him was very kind, with a sincere smile on his face, and responded to everyone who greeted him.

As soon as these people entered the door, more than half of the children watching the game immediately decreased, and they all ran to watch these children who had just appeared, and someone kept shouting: "Hey, Kevin, hey, Michael"

If the two teenagers responded, the calling teenager would pretend to be indifferent and explain, "We're friends, Kevin and Michael are great guys, you all know, right?" ”

Padding and Oku don't care, but Sid and the others are not satisfied, these children are used to being despised on the streets, and today they finally became the center of attention, and they are not happy yet. Seeing that the audience around them was getting smaller and smaller, several children sank their faces, and even if they were precocious like Sid, they couldn't help but say, "What is that white guy?" I saw him as soft as a banana. ”

Sid said this louder, and the boys on the street were good at it, and their mouths would not show mercy.

Actually, none of the children who came in were purebred white, and the lead child was also brown-skinned, but closer to white, so Sid called him that.

Hearing Sid's words, the audience who had given them applause just now laughed, and some children said disdainfully: "You don't even know Michael and Kevin?" You actually said Michael is soft, hey man, run, watch out for him beating you cry on the court. ”

Black children have always been rebellious, listening to the sarcasm of these people, the expression of a child next to Sid directly gloomy, seeing that the few people who just came in were looking at him, he stretched out his thumb and stroked down a few times, and then laughed.

Seeing him do this, the few people who had just entered the door were furious, but Sid felt embarrassed, and he persuaded his friend, "Raqqa, you have to control your temper, why bother with everyone?" Come on, let's have some fun. ”

But it was too late to say this at this time, and the children who had just entered the door obviously discovered this provocation, and the leading boy spit out chewing gum and walked here, and the tall boy beside him grabbed him and whispered a few words to persuade him, so that the leading boy could give up.

This is the end of the potential conflict between the two gangs, but the audience apparently does not agree, and someone shouts: "Michael, this is not your temper, you are despised by a few street ruffians, why don't you teach them a lesson?" ”

The brown-skinned teenager glanced at Sid disdainfully and said, "Bullying children? Ha, I'm Michael. Beasley didn't bother to do such a thing. "These people are all fourteen or fifteen years old, and their favorite height is also 1.85 meters, which is taller than Sid.

Sid was a little angry when he heard this, and he said coldly: "Hey, white guy, it's better to take your words back, we are indeed children, but who bullies who is not sure." ”

"Wait, what did he say his name was?" A child next to Sid asked uneasily, "Michael. Beasley? He's Beasley, the beast of Maryland?! ”

In the basketball paradise of the United States, no gifted child can be ignored, except for someone like Sid who has offended the big man and can't even get on the streets. Beasley's national fame at a young age was not yet at his peak, and by the time he reached high school, his fame would be close to that of an NBA role player.

Beasley heard the fear in his tone, and walked over with a smug smile: "Yes, it's you Uncle Beasley and me, how is it, do you know that you are afraid?" Well? Kids, keep a low profile in the future, if it weren't for Kevin blocking you today, I'd clean you up! ”

Whether it's an NBA star or someone with the potential to enter the NBA, they seem to be trash talk masters, muttering endlessly.

"Michael. Beasley and Kevin. Haven't you heard of Durant's name? A teenager next to him proudly introduced them, "They're going to get into the NBA, and they're going to do a great job like Ben." ”

Beasley and Durant's names have been ringing in American basketball since the previous two years, and the two of them have achieved a lot in the American Amateur Athletic League (AAU), with their Prince George Jaguars (PG-Jaguars) winning multiple national championships. Their fame is not only due to their own ability, but also because of a good story: the two children have known each other since they were 11 years old, and then went to school together and played together, Durant's mother took care of the two brothers and regarded Beasley as their own son, and the two boys were also very competitive.

Sid had also heard of the names of the two, although he was not convinced by the abilities of the two, but he didn't want to cause trouble, this was Big Ben's training camp, not the streets. But just now the young man's words made him angry, and he sneered: "Have you been in contact with Ben? I bet neither of them deserves Ben's shoes! Ben is a real star, he has a heart that no star has, and he will surely create a legend that has never been seen before or after him! ”

This is the loveliness of street children, once they accept a person, they will devote themselves to him, will maintain his reputation on any occasion, and will not stop paying for it.

Sid's words left the kids shrugged, most of whom hadn't lived through Jordan's glory days, and this season Huaben was so perfect that they had nothing to say.

Beasley looked at Sid with a triumphant look, and he was dissatisfied, and he sneered: "Don't just spew, how about a game?" Heads-up, 3v3 or full-time Standard? However, I don't think these friends of yours are very powerful, so why don't you go head-to-head? I can give you a few balls. ”

These teenagers are fourteen or fifteen years old, which is the most rebellious and hot-blooded age in life, and they value friendship the most. Let's go 3v3 and I'll let you serve first. ”

The long-armed boy behind Beasley was Durant, the one that Huaben thought Sid was going in a similar direction, and when he saw that things had come to this point, he didn't speak, but moved his body and began to warm up. Beasley turned back and said to the other teenager, "Chris, get ready, let's teach these cowards a lesson!" ”

Chris is a teammate of the two of the AAU Jaguars. Brasville, who is 1.9 meters tall and can play two positions on the inside, is a taciturn teenager who is not very capable, but because of his good physical fitness, he was also quite famous in his youth. Of course, he was later called Jianghe, and after two teammates were selected by the NBA with a list of picks, he was unknown to everyone.

Seeing what is known as Maryland's strongest trio fighting bulls with people, these kids scream with excitement that is harder to see than in the NBA. NBA games can be watched as long as you have money, but Durant and Beasley rarely have a chance to be seen.

Sid insisted on Beasley serveing, who muttered 'find death' and walked to the halfline with the ball and threw it at Durant.

There is no defense in the street 3v3, but this is not the street, Sid does not feel ashamed, he takes the initiative to defend Durant: he does have extraordinary talent, although it is rumored that the beast is more powerful than Matten Durant, but he senses from his feelings that the real strongest of the three.

Durant is tall and has long arms and looks like he's playing inside, and Sid is back inside the three-point line waiting for him to come in and play back. Seeing this scene, Durant and Beasley both smiled, the former easily dribbling the ball to the three-point line and raising his hand to shoot from distance. Sid jumped up to pounce, but it didn't work, and Durant's height and reach determined that he was a bug on the three-point line.

"Huh!" The three-point shot was hit, and the children watching the game applauded and screamed, "Handsome, Kevin!" "That's it, kick this kid's ass!" "Hey, boy, you've been tricked!"

Sid's face turned red from the children's ridicule, and he gasped in anger, and he wanted to throw the ball to Durant, saying, "Boy, come again!" ”

Durant smiled slightly, got the ball in the same position, and his thin body shrank slightly, and his calf muscles tightened, and he was about to jump on the spot. Sid stared at his shoulder, Durant was about to jump, he hurriedly stepped over and jumped, and yelled, "Do you still want to shoot?" ”

"Fool." Durant muttered quietly, and the body he pulled up suddenly retracted, clinging to Sid's body, and passed him in two big steps. Beasley and Chris both stuck their opponents behind them, and the physiques of both sides are really not on the same level.

Durant hit the basket like a whirlwind, took three quick steps, fixed the ball in the lower abdomen with both hands, leaned forward and flew high, and slewed to the basket with a muffled roar. He has used this trick to play countless opponents, and usually when he is under the basket, he will hear the cheers of the fans, and today he also heard the cheers, but it is not like cheers.

"Who is stupid?!" A thunderous roar sounded behind Durant's head, and at the same time, a powerful wave of impact on the ball he raised overhead, Sid caught up with him first, his big hand pressed on the ball, his arm pressed down, and slapped the ball from his hand!

"Damn!"

"Wow, handsome!"

"Someone can block Kevin's breakaway dunk?!"

The block was successful, Sid ignored the children's compliments, he stared at Durant, and said proudly: "Are you really so easily provoked?" Do you really think I'm so easy to get past you? Please see clearly that the man standing in front of you has been praised by Mr. Big Ben! ”

The children were shocked.
