Chapter 6 Nie Chuan vs Black Mountain
Carlo let go of the back of Nie Chuan's collar and put his arm around his shoulders. Of course, it was more like not giving Nie Chuan a chance to escape than to say he was holding him.
"Hey! Ewing! This is Allen! Allen, this is the starting player of our DK basketball team , shooting guard Ewing Kyle! He is definitely in the top ten in the league!"
Carlo introduced it enthusiastically, but the boy named Ewing seemed even more angry.
"You said 'top ten'?" Ewing stood up, twirling the basketball on his fingers and walking towards Carlo.
Only then did Nie Chuan realize that although Ewing had a baby face, his height was definitely over 180 cm.
He chewed the gum hard, as if it was Carlo in his mouth. He blew a bubble and deliberately made a popping sound when he was very close to Carlo.
Carlo finally realized something and quickly changed his words: "It's the top five! The top five! Haha!"
"Top five?" Ewing stretched out his arm and patted Carlo on the back of his head. "Do you believe me, I'll hit your head like a basketball ?"
"Well... the top three... you can't say that about yourself!" Carlo covered the back of his head.
"Hmph." You Yin snorted coldly and circled around Nie Chuan.
Nie Chuan felt like a piece of meat.
And You Yin stretched out his hand and pointed at Nie Chuan's head and said, "This kid is really short."
Ewing's words touched upon two major points of Nie Chuan's mind. First, he called Nie Chuan a "child", and second, he called Nie Chuan "short".
But Nie Chuan could only hold back his anger, the reason was simple, they were so numerous and powerful! He couldn't escape or fight them!
Ewing ignored Nie Chuan's reaction, came to Reese, and bumped Reese with his elbow: "Hey, you don't recognize this little thing called 'Alan', do you?"
"No." Reese replied calmly.
"Hey - Reese!" Carlo turned around dissatisfiedly, "If you don't agree, why did you follow me?"
"I'm afraid you'll ruin him. Don't get banned."
Nie Chuan was dumbfounded.
What...what does "playing badly" mean?
At this time, another tall and strong guy, who Nie Chuan had to look up to, walked over.
Ewing trotted over and punched the other man: "Montenegro! You're here! Look who Carlo found! Did his head get smashed by a basketball ?"
"Where is it?" The big man named Heishan looked around, and his eyes never stayed on Nie Chuan.
"Here." Carlo patted Nie Chuan.
As Black Mountain got closer, Nie Chuan had to swallow his saliva.
Oh my god... this guy is too tall...
Compared to Ewing's pessimism towards Nie Chuan, Heishan lowered his head and looked at Nie Chuan seriously from head to toe.
"Alan, this is our team's center, Blake Stanley, nicknamed Black Mountain." Carlo introduced his teammates to Nie Chuan very seriously, "Black Mountain, this is Alan. His dribbling is really good!"
Ewing came to Montenegro, leaned his head against him and chewed gum, and said with contempt: "Montenegro! Do you believe this guy can really do it? I don't see any explosiveness or strength in him! He will be dunked before he even shoots! If he really gets on the court, he will be knocked over and won't even be able to touch the basketball !"
"Yeah! Yeah! I'm not on the same level as you guys! Well, I'm going home! I still have group work to do!"
Nie Chuan was about to slip away, but he didn't expect Heishan to open his sports jacket and hand it to Ewing beside him.
“You’ll know if you have the ability once you give it a try.”
Heishan moved his wrist and actually lowered his center, taking a defensive posture.
Nie Chuan was dumbfounded.
Carlo is obviously mentally ill. Could it be that Montenegro is also sick with him?
"Alan! Come on! Show Montenegro how powerful you are! Just treat him as the guy you played against on the court that day!"
Black Mountain opened his arms, and his defense radius completely exceeded Mark's. Whether it was in the sky, on the ground, front, back, left, or right, Nie Chuan could not see any need for him to make a "death struggle".
He stepped back, stuttering even in English: "I...I really made an appointment with someone ...to meet in the library
Ewing snorted softly, while Carlo continued to try to persuade Nie Chuan.
At this time, Reese, who had been standing by the court with his arms folded and watching all this coldly, suddenly said to Zhou Bin: "You seem to be much smarter than Nie Chuan."
Zhou Bin was stunned because Reese directly read out Nie Chuan's Chinese name, and his pronunciation was quite accurate.
"Ah... I think so... My SAT is higher than his..."
"You should know that DK's basketball team often makes it to the top eight of the NCAA basketball league."
"Um...I know." Zhou Bin nodded.
"You should also know the cradle of the NBA, right?" Reese asked again.
Zhou Bin continued to nod. He was different from Nie Chuan, a fool who only knew how to eat chocolate, play video games and live in the second dimension. He nodded vigorously: "Of course I know."
"There are many people who dream of entering the NBA, but most of them are far away from it. Maybe Nie Chuan has no interest in the NBA, but this may be another turning point in his life that leads to glory. Are you sure he doesn't need to seize it?"
Zhou Bin was stunned. Reese Reddington's voice was very rational, so rational that it was cold.
It is precisely because of this that it is inexplicably persuasive.
"Nie Chuan...can he do it?"
"I don't know if he can do it. But Carlo always believes that Nie Chuan can get past God."
Zhou Bin looked at Reese's profile and swallowed hard.
A few seconds later, Zhou Bin suddenly shouted to Nie Chuan in Chinese: "A Chuan! I'm telling you, they are making a bet! If you can really dribble past Montenegro, I'll give you a complete set of level 10 clearance equipment!"
"Huh? What?" Nie Chuan's eyes suddenly widened and he looked in Zhou Bin's direction.
Zhou Bin nodded vigorously: "Really! Take care of Black Mountain! Once we're done, we'll go back and clear the customs!"
It was an online game that Nie Chuan was obsessed with. Unfortunately, he had not been able to clear the ninth level after playing for a month because he did not have enough equipment. In a hurry, Nie Chuan ate a whole bottle of Lao Gan Ma, and many pimples appeared on his forehead...
When he thought of the equipment, Nie Chuan turned around and looked at Heishan.
Well, if I can get past this guy, I can get the equipment I've been dreaming of!
If you can't shake it, you won't lose any meat!
Nie Chuan took a deep breath and took the basketball from Carlo . His fear of facing Montenegro was much lessened.
He first approached Black Mountain tentatively and made a feint, but retracted it in an instant.
This movement was repeated several times, each time with greater amplitude than the last.
Ewing chewed his gum and snorted, "He even knew how to test the defense range of Black Mountain. It seems that his brain is better than yours, Carlo."
"Hey. Don't underestimate him, or you'll regret it." Carlo's voice became deeper.
The chewing gum stopped between Ewing's teeth. He frowned and looked at Nie Chuan's figure. He had no idea how Nie Chuan would get through Montenegro's all-around defense.
Nie Chuan kept probing, and Heishan's serious expression surprised him. He originally thought that he was like a cockroach that could be crushed at any time in front of Heishan, but Heishan was very cautious in defending against every probing of Nie Chuan, which brought Nie Chuan into the atmosphere of a duel.
At a certain moment, Nie Chuan suddenly sped up, dribbled the ball between his legs twice very quickly, and was blocked by Heishan in an instant after breaking through to the left.
But Nie Chuan stopped suddenly and then faked to the other side. Everyone thought it was a fake move, including Heishan. Just when Nie Chuan was about to adjust his center of gravity back to the right, he actually swung his center of gravity back, and after a semicircle, he completely passed Heishan and ran towards the basket.
"Oh——" Ewing opened his eyes wide and stretched his neck.
Carlo raised his hands to applaud.
Nie Chuan was about to make a three-step layup when he heard a "bang" and was easily blocked by Heishan from behind.
The force was so strong that Nie Chuan almost fell to the ground.
"Fuck - is he a fool? Or is his mind full of Coca-Cola!" Ewing sat up suddenly, pointed at Nie Chuan and cursed mercilessly, "Is there such an idiot? He knew there was a big black mountain behind him, but he still went for a three-step layup? Does he really like being blocked by others? He has a front hand but no back hand! Can't he use his brain to think about his back? He thinks he is the only one on the basketball court! What a piece of shit!"
Ewing, with a baby face, is totally unambiguous when it comes to swearing!
"Okay! Okay! Didn't you see it? In order to break through Montenegro, he made two half-changes in direction, and in an arc, breaking through Montenegro's defense range! It's already amazing! Ewing, can you do it?" Carlo asked back.
Then he was hit hard on the head by Ewing.
"Nonsense! Do you think I can do it?"
"...Of course you can..." Carlo felt like he was really going to be knocked silly by Ewing.
Nie Chuan exhaled.
He had no choice, the three-step layup was his most reliable way to score.
Is it a jump shot?
The probability of missing is 100%.
Heishan threw the ball back to Nie Chuan, clapped his hands and said, "Hey, come again!"
Again?
So there is still a chance?
Nie Chuan exhaled, he knew he had to leave Heishan further behind, otherwise even if he dribbled past Heishan he would not have time to shoot.
He faced Heishan and suddenly extended his left angle greatly. Heishan followed him and moved in the same direction, but he was obviously holding back, as if he saw through Nie Chuan's fake move. Because Nie Chuan's left foot was not an attacking step.
Just when Ewing was complaining in his heart that Nie Chuan's fake probing step was too fake, Nie Chuan really shifted his center of gravity back to the right. Montenegro's reaction was very quick, but to everyone's surprise, Nie Chuan quickly returned to the left, dribbled past Montenegro, and quickly made a layup.
