Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Serious Unites

Since that day, Jonny has been like a floodgate opened on a rainy day, and during the free time of the three-day vacation, he will go to the school's indoor court to practice basketball, he will not practice against others, he will not participate in the student competitions organized by other enthusiasts, and even when someone comes to invite him to join the group, he will just smile and shake his head.

When Jonny arrived at the court, he only found the most remote and uninhabited field at a time and did his favorite exercises. He did not do this for fear of ridicule for the clumsiness of his skills, but he had one thing in mind, a fact that the more he practiced, the more he could prove it, a truth that he could not even imagine.

He found that in this thin, pale, still developing young body, there was an amazing athletic talent and reflex nerves! It's incredible!

……

Jonny crossed his hands on his legs and quickly strode the ball, the ball obediently traveled the way he expected, and the whole complex movement did not appear to have any mistakes, which was almost impossible for him before, he rushed with the ball to the most difficult virtual opponent in front of him, the flexible beam of arms blocked him like a shadow, shaking the opening angle, blocking all directions.

Jonny didn't stop, just thinking about the passing moves that he had watched countless times, only to see him dribble to one side, waiting for the figure to follow up and block, he was like the other side rushing, the ball bounced on the floor quickly, handed over to the other hand, and then dribbled, he had lightly got rid of the defense, two steps later, he jumped high, his wrist was lightly sent, and the ball steadily responded into the net.

Jonny caught the ball from the net, and his heart was filled with joy, and he didn't pause, running beyond the three-point line with the ball, this time he did a couple of beautiful crotch dribbles in front of the doll, and turned and shook with the ball to get around the opponent's block.

When it came to the basket, he jumped high to throw the ball into the net, but this time the virtual puppet quickly returned to the defense, blocking the angle of his shot with one hand. He almost didn't want to think about it, his body naturally tightened his waist and abdomen, facing the opponent's arm, holding the ball in one hand and staggering in the air, he had avoided the opponent's big hand of the block, and he had reached the other side of the rebound under the sliding of his body, and then his arm stretched, and with a slight hook, the ball seemed to have eyes, and he grazed the rebound into the basket.

Jonny had already discovered that when he did these complex and difficult movements, the agility and coherence of his own movements were very different from usual, and when his mind was highly concentrated, he could not completely master the techniques that he had practiced a lot in college in the past, but he could achieve them at will, overnight.

This successful breakthrough resonated with the highlight clip in his mind that he had watched countless times.

Jonny held the ball in his hand, standing in place in a daze, the electric and flint-like action he had just made slowly played in his mind, he didn't dare to move a little, for fear that this feeling of unspeakable happiness in his whole body would disappear, and the virtual opponent in front of him with a starry appearance smiled at him, beckoned to him to provoke, and even leaned over, pinched his fingers and poked his skull like pretending to knock on the door.

The ball in Jonny's hand finally slipped and bounced on the nanofloor with a loud sound, rolling towards the silent projection doll, which seemed to find it strange, picking it up from the ground with its soft-beam arm, clumsily slapping it twice, and then clipped it under its armpit. It crossed its feet, snapped a pistol with its fingers under its jaw, and tossed the ball to Jonny.

Jonny took the ball in his hands, and by this time, he had finally determined that this body had an amazing athletic talent, and if he wanted to, it would have at least the awareness, speed and flexibility of a professional player in basketball.

He used to dream of being a great basketball player, a star who would dominate the game, like all teenagers, and now he clearly has the most unlikely prerequisites.

Such a body was now occupied by him, and he had tried to convince himself that it was a complete coincidence, or the curse of some mischievous ancient god, and that he had almost broken his head when he first came to this world.

Maybe the god who brought him into this world wasn't playing a bad joke, he thought to himself what it really meant, and he certainly didn't believe that it was all just for basketball, and if it was, he'd rather it was just a bad joke.

Either way, he finally believed that it all seemed to have some meaning, and that whatever it might ultimately take, all he could see and feel today was enough to excite it.

It's a good start, he muttered to himself.

Perhaps, there will also be a happy ending.

Name of the galaxy: Nilde

Stargate Name: Aton, Atum

Alien race: Unites

Inhabited Planet: Daedalus

Planetary characteristics: ocean-type planet, surrounded by two moons, one of which was destroyed by humans and Kander hundreds of years ago, most of its wreckage landed on the planet Daedalus, and some of it is still scattered into a ring of stones, rotating around the planet's orbit.

Racial Development: Advanced Intelligent Civilization

Racial Characteristics: Overall, the Unites are the most similar to humans in terms of physiology and social composition among the known races, with the exception of the Magins of the Nasser system. It's just that they have united in the 'near-moon crisis' of nearly a thousand years and formed a unique racial culture.

Technologists and diplomats of the Unites generally have a human name, and their own names are too strangely pronounced to be used in the human world.

"All" is what they call their own race.

Daedalus is a very large planet with a fairly wide surface and land area. The Unites are ingenious and technologically prosperous, with few armies and no desire to expand. Perhaps because of the millennium of survival, the people of Euredi do not seem to be born with such a thing as ambition, and the atmosphere of the whole race has always been fast-paced, united and cooperative.

Demographics: about 74 million units

There are only a few days left before the half-school break, and most of the lessons this week are also reviewed and extended, but Arthur of the Intermediate Plant class. Harkness, however, continued to teach the new lessons, and was already teaching the main content for the next school year.

Arthur. Harkness was the oldest teacher in Lee's class, a Unitite with only one ring of hair left, and he was one of the few interracial outside teachers at Newton High School.

The Unites look like close relatives of humans in appearance, but most of them are short in stature, and their ethnic, cultural and linguistic structure are similar to those of humans.
