Chapter 42 skyhook
Ou En raised the corners of his lips, waiting for Nie Chuan to change direction and switch hands. Both the left and right were within his defensive range.
Who would have thought that Nie Chuan would actually jump high and hold the ball up as if he was going to shoot.
Owen and the person behind Nie Chuan jumped up at the same time, but Nie Chuan pushed the ball to the side with his backhand, and Ewing caught the ball and shot to score.
Ou En held his forehead and looked at Nie Chuan jokingly: "Do you know the price of playing tricks on me?"
"Then wipe my neck."
Nie Chuan replied coldly and turned to defend.
"Owen, where did you deal with that little brat as promised?" Wright ran over and asked.
"Isn't the game over yet?" Owen smiled.
CBU's next round of offensive was even more fierce. Wright dribbled the ball past Ewing and passed the ball to Thomas before facing Nie Chuan. Thomas and Carlo were in a stalemate at the free throw line. Owen took the ball directly from Thomas. Before he made a layup, Reese defended in front of him, and Nie Chuan came behind him.
"Owen——" Thomas came to respond.
Owen was about to pass the ball in the direction of Thomas, Nie Chuan stretched out his arm to intercept, but Thomas' position was instantly taken by Carlo.
Owen hooked the ball back and turned to the other side. Just when he thought he had broken through Nie Chuan, he didn't expect Nie Chuan to turn back and almost knocked away his ball with his outstretched hand!
Owen dribbled the ball in one swipe, and Reese took the ball away in an instant, quickly rushed to the basket, jumped, and under the interception of two opposing players, he sent the basketball into the basket between their arms.
"oh……"
The CBU cheerleaders cheered, and by the end of this game, Reese's fan base would probably increase again.
Ou En glanced at Nie Chuan and found that Nie Chuan was staring at him.
He knew very well that if it weren't for Nie Chuan's tight marking, there was no way Reese would have intercepted the ball for him.
The cooperation between these two people... If Nie Chuan is given a little more time to grow, how terrifying this kid will be when he reaches the league.
Nie Chuan's amber eyes were still staring at him without any distractions, which gave Ou En a very strange feeling.
He suddenly reached out and rubbed Nie Chuan's forehead: "Oh, so cute."
"Hey! Eun Whishaw! Don't touch our Alan's head casually!" Carlo was the first to shout.
Thomas and Wright were also dumbfounded.
"Owen, what are you doing?"
"This isn't a formal competition, why are you taking it so seriously?"
Nie Chuan was annoyed.
Who asked you to touch my head?
Who gave you the privilege to touch my head?
Do you think you are so tall? How dare you touch my head!
After a round of attack and defense, Owen held the ball again. He smiled and looked at Nie Chuan who took the initiative to defend him, and said, "Come on, baby."
There was no frivolity in his voice, instead his eyes were serious.
Owen used the European Step again, trying to get past Nie Chuan and making a drastic change of direction, but Nie Chuan followed him. His body looked like he was about to fall, but he always managed to keep his balance at the last moment.
Then Owen's double change of direction did not shake off Nie Chuan. At the moment when Nie Chuan caught up, he suddenly jumped up on the spot and prepared to shoot. Nie Chuan knew this guy's ability to pull up and shoot, so he jumped up immediately to intercept.
But unexpectedly, Owen took the ball back, cut in from the right, and passed Nie Chuan.
At that moment, there was a snap and Reese, who was coming towards him, took the ball away.
Owen immediately returned to defense.
At this moment, there are only three seconds left in the game.
Everyone held their breath and watched the moment when Reese jumped.
Facing the double defense of Thomas and Owen, which was completely impenetrable, just when everyone thought that this ball would never go in, Reese actually adjusted his body in the air, turned sideways, and made a backhand hook, using his fingers to hook the ball into the basket from the side of Owen.
"k!"
Everyone screamed.
In that shot, Reese's posture in the air was so graceful that Nie Chuan stood there and watched stupidly.
When he landed, facing the exclamations of the audience, Reese lifted his collar and wiped the sweat off his face as if nothing had happened.
Then he walked towards Nie Chuan, frowned and said, "What are you doing standing there like an idiot?"
"you……"
You are so handsome! Nie Chuan almost blurted out such words, but he held back.
"What's wrong with me?" Reese asked.
"Can you teach me next time?" Nie Chuan said blankly.
"Fool."
The game ended like this, UDK won over CBU with a narrow advantage of one point.
Owen and Thomas looked at the basket and exhaled. Owen turned and walked towards Reese, tilting his head: "Why didn't I see you being so arrogant when I was with you?"
Reese didn't answer, but returned to the sidelines and took out the mineral water.
Nie Chuan followed, and Carlo and Ewing hugged him on the left and right.
"Not bad, Alan. It's a world of difference compared to the last practice match!"
"You are so brave! How dare you challenge Owen!"
"Hehe..." Nie Chuan rubbed his nose.
Although CBU lost by one point, their cheerleading team still put on a passionate performance.
Nie Chuan had never watched the cheerleading dance in its entirety, and he was stunned even when he saw them unwrapping the chocolate wrapper.
The light jumps, neat kicks, and various difficult movements comparable to gymnastics were all very beautiful to Nie Chuan.
At this time, Ou En came over with a towel draped over his shoulder and waved his hand in front of Nie Chuan.
"Hey Baby."
"If you call me 'baby' again, I'll teach you a lesson, do you believe me?" Nie Chuan said seriously, sideways.
"Oh, how are you going to make me look good?"
As soon as Owen finished speaking, Nie Chuan stepped hard on his snow-white basketball shoes.
This was completely beyond Owen's expectations, and he didn't even have time to take back his teachings.
Nie Chuan was trying hard when he was lifted up by the collar. Reese's voice came from behind him: "Anything else, Owen?"
"I just want to tell him that if he really likes CBU's cheerleading team, he can come to our side," Owen said with a smile.
Reese didn't answer, but pulled Nie Chuan away by the back of his collar.
Nie Chuan couldn't help but look back as he walked.
Ah! What an amazing backflip!
Carlo nudged Ewing with his elbow and said seriously, "Should we suggest to Lily that she learn from the CBU cheerleading team? Otherwise, Alan will be deceived by them!"
"Go ahead and say it if you want."
Ewing rolled his eyes at Carlo.
After the game, Thomas came to Carlo and shook his hand. "Today's game was great. When can we play again? Don't wait until the league to play again."
"Haha, why don't you come to our udk."
"Okay, let's make an appointment and go visit."
"Our cheerleading team isn't very good."
"It's okay, I'll bring our cheerleading team with me." Thomas said with a smile.
"What? I was just about to ask our cheerleaders to bake cookies for you guys!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Hey, Reese." Owen walked up to Reese. "It's been a long time since we played against each other in the league last year. I haven't had so much fun playing basketball. But, I still want to remind you of one thing."
"Oh?" Reese raised his eyebrows slowly, folded his arms and turned around.
"If you're always worried about him getting hurt, he'll never really grow up."
Reese looked into Owen's eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning between the two.
Ewing became nervous: "They won't fight, will they?"
"No, don't worry." Wright extended his hand to Ewing. "Next time we meet, I will be faster than I am now."
Ewing was stunned. He knew his strengths and weaknesses. He seemed to have a solid outside scoring technique, but he was very dependent on his teammates to create opportunities for him. He was not as sharp as Nie Chuan in dribbling and passing, and he was not as good as Carlo and Montenegro in blocking ability and explosiveness, and he was even worse than the all-around Reese.
He must grow up as soon as possible and become strong enough to create scoring opportunities for himself without relying on others.
"Reese, what's wrong?" Nie Chuan was a little worried. Was Owen going to fight with Reese because he was upset that he stepped on his sneakers?
"It's okay." Reese pressed Nie Chuan's head and pushed him away, then turned back and said to Owen, "Thank you for not really killing him."
Owen smiled aristocratically: "I also want to know how high you can bring him."
After Carlo and the others left the basketball hall, Thomas led the players to clean up the court.
Owen stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, and in his mind he saw Nie Chuan dribbling the ball past him.
"Hey, Owen, are you trying to slack off again?" Wright said unhappily.
"Ah, I just wanted to do something."
"What the hell are you thinking about?" Wright asked helplessly while holding on to the mop.
"Should I also keep a pet? The kind that thinks it's fierce but is actually cute? And it should be smart, and it can learn what to do with a little bit of teaching... Wright, do you have any suggestions?"
"Keep a pet? Forget it. I'm afraid you'll be complained by animal protection organizations."
“Ah…really?”
"Yes, it's pitiful to be your pet." Wright said very seriously.
"Is that so?" Owen stroked his chin. "Since he is not suitable to be my pet...then he should grow faster and sharper and become my enemy."
"What are you thinking about? I'm going to dump a bucket on your head!"
Carlo and his group left CBU and stopped two taxis. Carlo, Nie Chuan and Reese sat in the same taxi, with Nie Chuan and Reese sitting in the back seat.
Reese's legs were long, so Nie Chuan had to be careful not to touch him. Although he knew that even if he accidentally touched Reese, it would not matter, but inexplicably, Nie Chuan always felt that Reese was a male god, and a mortal like him could not touch him.
As soon as Nie Chuan lowered his head, he received a voice message from Ewing.
"Go back to the hotel, take a good shower, eat, and take a nap! After you wake up you can go play with Alan!"
He could imagine Ewing counting on his fingers to figure out what to do, and a smile broke out on his face.
Just at that moment, the driver turned a corner and Reese's legs came close to him. Both of them were wearing basketball shorts, and Nie Chuan could feel the temperature of each other's skin very clearly.
He didn't even dare to breathe until the taxi resumed its straight line and Nie Chuan quickly sat up straight.
He glanced at Reese, who was just looking out the window with his chin propped up, not caring at all about what his knee had just hit.
Carlo, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and asked Nie Chuan: "Alan, you have been staring at the CBU cheerleaders. Which one of them do you like?"
Nie Chuan chuckled and said nothing.
Carlo continued to ask, "Tell me! Tell me! I want to know your taste. Next time when Lily is recruiting cheerleaders, she can take it as a reference!"
"It's the third one from the left."
"Who is that?" Carlo recalled in his mind, "The one with the brown ponytail and the blue wristband on his hand?"
"Yes, that's it!" Nie Chuan nodded.
"Ah? Is that girl pretty?" Carlo thought to himself, "If it were me, I would like the one in the middle."
"The one that got thrown up and did a mid-air flip?"
"Yeah. By the way, the girl you like doesn't have a pretty face, and her private parts aren't big enough..." Carlo gestured, "What do you like about her?"
"Ah? What I like about her...she dances beautifully!" Nie Chuan replied.
"It is very pretty..." Carlo suddenly understood, "Ah! I get it! Alan, you like long legs! Her legs are so long! Just imagine, wow, touching from the knee down... the feeling of not being able to touch the end is really good! I can't believe you have good taste, Alan! I'll go back and tell Lily!"
"Hey! Don't make random conclusions!" Nie Chuan reached out and hit Carlo on the head.
"Hahaha, my legs are long too! Otherwise, Alan, you can come and like me!" Carlo said seriously.
"Sure, strike a more sexy pose!" Nie Chuan pushed Carlo speechlessly.
At that moment, what emerged in Nie Chuan's mind was Reese's legs when he adjusted his posture in the air during the K.
It seems like it is about to fly.
They returned to the hotel room. Reese sat at the table, talking on the phone with someone unknown. Nie Chuan went in to take a shower with his clothes on.
But not long after, Nie Chuan discovered something very embarrassing. He put the clothes he had prepared on the bed.
He wrapped the bath towel around his waist and opened the door a crack to see if Reese was still talking on the phone. It would have been better if he hadn't looked. When he looked... his nose was about to bleed!
Reese just bent down and took off his sweatpants, leaving only a pair of tight black underpants, which outlined the powerful but not exaggerated lines of his legs and buttocks.
The most important thing is... the legs are really long...
Reese seemed to have heard the sound and turned around. This time, Nie Chuan's sight completely hit Reese's very impactful part.
Really... so big...
"If you want to see it, just come out and watch." Reese raised his eyebrows, which made Nie Chuan's ears hot.
"No...no...can you...can you please hand me my clothes? I left them on the bed!"
Reese walked back to the closet and calmly gathered up his clothes: "Come and get them if you want."
"ah……"
Don't be like this...
But Nie Chuan thought, they are both men, what is there to be embarrassed about?
So he came out holding a bath towel. Anyway, the first step was to put on the pants from under the bath towel. Once the pants were put on, there was nothing to be embarrassed about!
But just when Nie Chuan went to pull up his pants, the bath towel fell off without any restraint.
ah!
At that moment, Nie Chuan didn't know whether he should pull up his pants or the bath towel!
He turned his head with a stiff neck and found Reese leaning against the closet with his arms folded, looking at him.
It was not known whether it was Nie Chuan's illusion, but he felt as if Reese's gaze slid from his shoulders to his back, then to his waist, and then to his ankles like a gentle caress...
Nie Chuan pulled up his pants in no time.
"How stupid."
Reese grabbed a change of clothes and headed for the bathroom.
Nie Chuan blurted out: "If you think I'm stupid, don't kiss me! Be careful of getting infected!"
After saying this, he felt that there must be something wrong with his brain! How dare he talk to Reese like that!
Is this a death? Or is this a death?
"Oh, if you don't want to be kissed by me, then you would rather be beaten by me?" Reese asked coldly.
Nie Chuan closed his mouth and stopped talking.
After blowing his hair dry, Nie Chuan waited for Ewing's call. They had agreed to go to the Cantonese restaurant opposite the hotel to eat shrimp dumplings and barbecued pork buns.
But when Ewing called, Nie Chuan discovered that Reese was still in the bathroom, and the sound of running water had never stopped.
Nie Chuan knocked on the bathroom door and raised his voice and said, "Reese—are you ready? Let's go out and eat!"
After such an intense practice match, Nie Chuan was very hungry.
Reese didn't answer.
Nie Chuan wondered if this guy had fainted in there.
"Reese! Reese are you okay?"
After a long time, Reese's voice came from the sound of splashing water: "You go first."
"Oh, okay!" Nie Chuan put on his coat and left.
In the corridor, Nie Chuan, Ewing, Carlo and others met.
"Hey, Alan, why isn't Reese here?"
"He's still in there." Nie Chuan looked at his sports watch. "He's been washing for almost forty minutes. Is he washing clothes in there?"
It seems that foreigners don't have the habit of washing clothes while taking a shower? And the hotel has dry cleaning service.
"Alan, you still can't guess what Reese is doing in the bathroom?" Carlo smiled ambiguously.
Nie Chuan certainly understood what Carlo was referring to: "Isn't this possible?"
"It must be some pretty girl I saw on the cheerleading team today, and now I'm imagining it while taking a shower!"
Carlo said with certainty.
Ewing patted Carlo on the head. "Can you stop talking nonsense to Alan? Do you think Reese is like you, unable to control himself when he sees a beautiful girl?"
Nie Chuan tilted his head. He had no idea what Reese would be like when he was emotional.
Because Nie Chuan always felt that he was like someone who lacked the most basic human instincts.
Carlo put his hand on Nie Chuan's shoulder and said seriously, "I was just joking with you just now. Don't tell Reese what I said! Someone might die!"
"It's good that you know someone will die!" Ewing shook his head helplessly. "Anyway, with Reese's personality, ordinary people won't make him fall in love with him."
"Which one do you think he will like?" Nie Chuan asked curiously.
Ewing thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Maybe something like Cate Blanchett, an elegant and noble queen?"
"Eh...it seems so..." Nie Chuan nodded.
Carlo was speechless. Who on earth told him not to let his imagination run wild?
When there was no one in the room, Reese, who had been keeping his eyes closed under the running water, finally let out a breath.
He pulled the bath towel around his waist and walked out of the bathroom. He sat on the bed with his head tilted back as if he was calming down. When he stood up, he looked up and saw the pants that Nie Chuan had just washed in the bathroom hanging on the clothes hanger on the wall.
Black cotton texture...
Reese strode up, took it off, hung it in the closet, and closed the door forcefully.
At this time, Nie Chuan and Ewing were already ordering food very seriously.
"You must order the shrimp dumplings, barbecued pork buns, and rice rolls. What is this?" Ewing said, pointing to the menu.
"Water chestnut cake. Sweet and soft, with crispy water chestnuts inside." Nie Chuan thought for a long time before describing it to this extent for You Yin.
"What about this?"
"Carrot cake. I quite like it."
"what about this?"
"Siomai, stuffed with pork and shrimp, and maybe some glutinous rice!"
"Forget it, I don't want to think too much about it. I'd better get two of each!" Ewing decided.
"By the way, isn't Reese's home in New York? His father's office seems to be here?" Peter asked.
"Ah, Lawyer Reddington, known as the 'Big Shark' in New York!" Chuck studied law and he knew Reese's father quite well.
"So when he returns to New York, will he go see his father and maybe not come to have dinner with us?" Ewing asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Reese walking towards him from the other side of the road with his hands in his pockets. When he turned his head to observe the moving vehicles, the standard 45-degree angle was really interesting.
"Oh, he's so handsome that he has no friends." Nie Chuan said in Chinese.
"Huh? What did you say?" Carlo asked.
"I said, eat your barbecued pork buns." Nie Chuan replied in English.
Reese came to their table and sat down. Because it was a seat by the window, he could often see girls passing by stopping to look at them, which also attracted a lot of attention to Nie Chuan.
Reese ate without saying much, but his presence was very strong. Peter and Chuck both spoke less than before.
After eating, Ewing yawned and said, "It's time for a nap! How about you, Alan?"
"Me? I have to go back tomorrow, so I don't want to take a nap. I want to go out and play."
"Where are we going?" Ewing asked.
"This place seems to be very close to Wall Street. Should I go to Wall Street first?"
"But I really want to sleep." Ewing was still hesitating whether to take a nap or accompany Nie Chuan to visit Wall Street.
"You guys go and have a rest, I'll take him to Wall Street." Reese still lowered his brows.
Everyone looked over.
Everyone wondered if they had heard it wrong. Reese actually offered to be someone's tour guide?
