52. The charm of basketball

Lin Feng thinks Billy is a good boy. His basic dribbling skills are very good. It is said that he learned them all by himself from online videos.

Lin Feng was afraid that he would only come to the orphanage once in his life, intending to teach him some practical things to inspire little Billy's love for basketball.

From the eyes of a child, he saw something different, that kind of love for basketball that could not be concealed, just like little Gary lying outside the barbed wire fence of the Rucker Park street court.

"You have to watch my footsteps and predict my next move."

Lin Feng came face to face with little Billy. Although he was not a competent coach, he should have no problem teaching children.

After a while, Caruso also arrived in the yard and started playing with another group of children with a basketball.

These children need care and need to know the outside world.

Basketball players who can only be seen on TV are around, which will keep them excited for a long time.

The one-on-one between Lin Feng and Billy aroused Lyanna's interest in basketball. She was eager to try it on the sidelines, and Lin Feng saw her thoughts.

He smiled and said to her: "Try?"

Then he threw the basketball at Lyanna, but she unexpectedly caught it successfully. I thought she would avoid the flying basketball like other girls do, or that she might not be able to catch it at all.

Lyanna patted the basketball a few times. Although she looked amateurish, she looked particularly cute.

For Layanna, a layman, shooting a basketball involves stretching her palm flat and moving it up and down like a table tennis racket, rather than using the grip of her fingers to shoot the basketball.

The result is that your palms quickly become dusty.

"Billy, play with sister Lyanna for a while."

Lin Feng jumped on the spot a few times. Under the sun and on the court, he wanted to release the power in his body.

"Hey man!"

He pointed to the sky, and Caruso understood and threw the ball into the air.

Lin Feng took a few steps and then jumped high into the air and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

There was a feeling that the whole yard was shaking. The children cheered and were so excited.

"Cool." Lyanna couldn't help but clapped her hands, "Is this the charm of basketball?"

"So-so." Lin Feng smiled slightly, "I forgot to introduce you, this is my teammate Alex Caruso, a guy with extremely strong physical fitness, who once dunked on Durant."

At first, Caruso just stood there with his hands on his hips and smiled. When he heard that he dunked on Durant, he couldn't stand it anymore.

"No, no, no, Gary, I didn't do that. I haven't even had the chance to play with Durant."

Caruso is a very humble man and will not accept exaggerated praise.

Lin Feng reflected, patted his forehead, and said with a smile: "That was half a year later. I was a little schizophrenic."

In fact, according to the development of the previous life, Caruso did complete the feat of dunking on Durant in the game between the Lakers and the Warriors.

It was an offensive rebound. Caruso jumped up in front of Durant and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands, shocking everyone.

Today, Lin Feng wants to take a closer look at the spring man in front of him. At 196 centimeters, he is actually one of the top five springers in the Lakers team.

Normally, a bald and thin white man would not be very good at dancing in the subjective impression of fans, but the result was unexpected.

Lakers legend Mr. Kuzma once said that people thought Caruso was bald and couldn't jump, but he was one of the top five jumpers on the team, and that was it.

Billy wanted to imitate Lin Feng's dunk just now, but he still needs a few years to reach his height, and he can't even touch the backboard for the time being.

In addition to more than two dozen orphans, the orphanage also takes in homeless vagrants and poor people with illnesses that cannot be treated.

It's okay for homeless people because they are healthy and just need a place to stay.

Those patients are pitiful. Some of them have incurable diseases and have no medical insurance or pension. They can only wait for social assistance in welfare homes or wait to die.

A considerable number of people in the United States do not have medical insurance. Some of these people are citizens in distress, and some are illegal immigrants who came here illegally. In short, they are all people who live in the shadow of a prosperous society.

Long before, when Lin Feng first entered the orphanage, he saw a woman from Haiti. She suffered from a strange disease and the cost of treatment was beyond her ability. She could only go to a nearby church to pray every day to pray to God.

Blessing.

It's very cruel. It's a different feeling than the cruelty on the basketball court.

Lin Feng is just a little person. He hopes that the world will be free of pain and troubles, but after all, he is just a person who is too small to be any more small.

When it was lunch time, Lin Feng followed the crowd to the cafeteria.

It’s not easy for the reporters who follow the photo. They carry cameras and walk around under the scorching sun in order to write an article calling on society to pay attention to special groups tonight.

Little Billy is a shy kid. He is a different person when he is active on the court but off the court.

Eating in silence and drinking water in silence are completely different from the noisy children around.

Lyanna told him that little Billy had mild autism.

"I also heard from other volunteers that little Billy only becomes active when he is on the basketball court."

Lyanna was equally concerned because he was the most special one.

Normally, orphans in orphanages are adopted by well-intentioned families before they are ten years old, but Billy is already 12 years old, and no family has ever been willing to accept him because of his personality.

"Poor kid, maybe with such a personality it's easy to become a genius. He does look very talented when playing basketball."

Lin Feng said meaningfully.

There are also many players in the NBA suffering from various mental illnesses, such as DeRozan and Love's depression, which are well known to fans.

It must be mentioned that Charlie Villanueva, a senior from Queens, New York, who is also from Queens, New York, suffered from severe alopecia. At first, his eyebrows began to fall out, and then his hair and eyelashes began to fall out, until none of them fell.

Remaining.

This congenital disease made Villanueva sad, but excited his friends. They took pleasure in making fun of Villanueva and gave him many unpleasant and insulting nicknames. Little Villanueva

As a result, he suffered heavy psychological pressure and suffered from autism. It wasn't until he joined the basketball court that he began to rediscover the fun in life.

Little Billy is facing a better situation than Villanueva, at least he won't lose all his hair.

Different people have different fates and different lives.

Lin Feng hopes that little Billy will be lucky in his future life, and maybe he will become a basketball star one day.

Who would have known ten years ago that skinny Gary Smith would become a member of the league.
