Two: Brother

s ()

After saying goodbye to Tom Janovic, Rachel went to the fast food store with satisfaction and bought a bread, which was wrinkled ten dollars given to him by Jones! He rushed back while eating! Going back to the street where he lived, to be precise, even the air became foul-stealed, and the corners of the house next to the road were filled with used syringes. Rachel knew that those were used for injecting drugs! But although his brother was selling drugs, they never got caught in the thing. Screams came from the distance as if to prove that this was not an angry street. Doug knew that it was either robbing or fighting in groups! Because in this place, no good thing happened except this kind of thing!

After returning to his dilapidated home, the decorations in the house were all old furniture that could not be older, and many of them were collected from the garbage dump. After closing the dilapidated door, Rachel saw his brother lying on the sofa with many springs leaking out, and the smell of wine was filled with the air! Rachel walked over and said to his brother who was holding the bottle, "Eddie! I've been back so early today!"

"Well! Doug, I'm back! Isn't the school looking for you yet?" Eddie said with a blink of an eye.

"Yes! They all think I am not worthy of their scholarship!" Rachel was still very honest in front of his brother, because he was raised by his brother. Although his brother was a big villain in the eyes of others, in Rachel, he was the kindest person in the world. No matter how much suffering he suffered outside, he would not come back to mention Rachel for a moment, because he didn't want Rachel to be distracted, so he also embarked on his path.

"Damn it! The guys of them always look at people with colored eyes. Doug, don't give up, you are really great! Basketball is the only weapon you can get rid of your current life! Walk down bravely like a man!" Eddie stood up and said tremblingly at Rachel.

Rachel hurried over, held Eddie, and then put him on the sofa. Rachel knew that he must have encountered something difficult for his brother outside, because only at this time would he come to his house to drink!

"Brother! Today I met the new head coach of the Lakers. He took a fancy to me. He asked me to go to his place to try out in a month. I think if I perform well, he will definitely keep me in the Lakers. By then, I will be an NBA player and I will have a lot of money. Then we two brothers can move out of this ghost place. We can change our destiny!" Rachel said, but she still couldn't hide her excitement!

"Really? Doug! That's great! You must perform well in the next month. Remember, basketball is the only weapon you can overcome poverty. No matter what, you should not give up this weapon, just like a warrior cannot give up the sword in his hand! Fight!" Eddie seemed very excited.

"Yeah! Fight!"

"Come on! Doug! Drink! I'm very happy today!"

"Yeah! Drink!"

"Hahaha!" A burst of hearty laughter came from the dilapidated house to the outside without any intrigue, obviously incompatible with the main style of this street!

After drinking a lot of wine at night, the two brothers fell asleep and lay on the sofa. The next morning, when the sun shone into the window, Rachel got up and took the money given to him by Tom Janovic yesterday. Rachel counted it several times and confirmed that there were four hundred dollars. She went outside and bought some bread and milk for breakfast! After finishing it, she called Eddie to get up. Eddie got up in a daze, and did not wash her face. She grabbed the bread and milk and ate it. When she ate half a loaf of bread, she suddenly woke up and asked Rachel: "Doug! How could you have money to buy bread and milk? You must know that I haven't got money home for more than a week."

"Oh! This was given to me by the Lakers head coach. I helped him catch the thief who stole his bag, and then he introduced me to his place to try out, and in the end he gave me four hundred dollars! He is a good person!"

"Yes! He is indeed a good person. You will go to the trial in a month. Look! There are 3,000 dollars here! You can use it to make up for it! You will be stronger then! Don't go to work in the summer vacation, practice football well! I will work hard, you don't have to feel embarrassed. If you are rich in the future, just give it back twice as much as you can!"

Eddie said with a relaxed look, but Rachel knew the hardships after this ease! Selling drugs is actually very risky. Although Rachel didn't know what the process was, Rachel knew that once she was caught, the unlucky ones were all the sellers! And those who really made money were fine! This is fate!

"Next! Didn't you hear it!" Eddie ordered viciously when hesitated and did not take his money.

Rachel slowly took the money and put it in her close pocket! After Eddie finished breakfast, he walked out in all directions, humming his own random rap.

Rachel looked at his slightly hunched body, even though he was six feet and six tall! But he still looked like a dwarf, because the burden on him was too heavy, so heavy that it should be the limit that a twenty-three-year-old young man could bear!

Tears couldn't help but roll in my eyes! I silently said in my heart: "Brother! My eternal brother, I will live in the best house, drive the best car, and get the hottest woman!"

Shortly after Eddie went out, Jones came to Rachel's house. Although Jones's house did not live here, his father opened a grocery store, so he should be considered a child of an ordinary family, but he still ran to Rachel very frequently.

In his words, Doug is the only one who is my real friend!

When Rachel told him that he was invited by the Lakers coach to try out, Jones jumped up and down happily, as if he was chosen by the Lakers! For him, Rachel's victory was equivalent to his victory. In his mind, Rachel was like a big brother, because since childhood, Rachel always helped him to fight off some bad boys who bullied him!

"Doug! Let's go to Pili Stadium! There are more experts there, so that you can also exercise your basketball skills. When the time comes, the Lakers will attract more attention!" Jones suggested

"Well! Let's go to Pili Stadium now! We want to be the owner of Pili Stadium and break the record of the Ghost Head Team maintaining the owner's record for 20 consecutive days!" Rachel said excitedly.

"Walk!"

"Walk"

After the two of them came to the stadium excitedly, they saw that the stadium was surrounded by people. They rushed over and thought that there must be a good show! Jones excitedly pointed at the three-on-three bullfights on the stadium and said to Rachel: "Doug! Look, it's the Ghost Head Team vs. the Tremors Team! It seems that the Ghost Head Team wants to regain their position as the owner!"

Rachel nodded coolly and looked at the performance on the court without hesitation. At this time, a small man about 1.8 meters broke through the basket, and a beautiful backhand layup scored, which made both defense players play, causing the audience to whistle unrestrainedly. All kinds of strange howling sounds were coming and going around the court! This is the charm of street basketball!

"Doug! The Ghost Head Team's little gopher breakthrough is still so sharp! I didn't expect that they hadn't come to Pili Stadium for half a month and became stronger." Jones said to Rachel.

Rachel nodded and agreed. At this time, on the court, the Tremors Team was not showing any weakness. He took the ball and handed it over to the buddy who had just been passed by the little gopher. It was only about 1.8 meters. After the man got the ball, he asked the other two to pull away and let him play singles. Suddenly, the spectators on the sidelines whistled one after another! He expressed his appreciation for his actions! This is the case on the street court. Wherever he lost his face, he had to find it, otherwise people would laugh at you for the rest of their lives and say you are a soft ball!

The man was shaking left and right with the ball, and the little gopher also changed his pace according to his rhythm. Suddenly, the little gopher paused for a while in the high-speed change. The little guy from the tremor team quickly hit the ball and passed it between the two legs of the little gopher, then quickly ran over from his side, caught the ball and then headed towards the basket, a beautiful man passed by. The audience in the audience did not hesitate to scream! All kinds of voices attacked the court like heat waves! This is the charm of basketball!

The little man from the Tremors was about to make a layup. At this time, a big man from the Ghost Head team quickly slipped in and blocked the little man there. There was no stopping fouls or offensive fouls on the street court, unless you pulled people down from the air, it was called a foul! Because bullfights usually require gambling, so this is also a hidden rule!

Fighting hard is definitely not a good choice. After all, the height difference is there. The little man trembled his fingers and the ball passed from the defender's ribs. A tall man behind him received the ball and it was a bang! After the buttoning, he pounded his chest excitedly! Showing his toughness to the audience!

At this time, a small black man next to Rachel whispered "Fool!" Although his voice was low enough, Rachel and Jones were still heard. Jones was dissatisfied and retorted: "Hey! I said, buddy! Are you very powerful? Why do you say that the 'vibration machine' of the trembler is a fool! Although most of the credit of this ball must be taken from the 'Boncats', it is undeniable that the 'vibration machine' is also very good! Because only he can perfectly turn the pass into a score!"

Seeing Jones arguing with him, Rachel stared at the little man! Then she was ready to fight, because that was the case here, and she would fight if she had a disagreement! Rachel had fought like this for many times.

Seeing the little man turn around, smile, and say, "Yes! What you said makes sense, I think so too! Actually, I think that the 'Boncats' just now can teach the ball to the three-point shooter on the outside, because he is completely open, so they will get two points. He just chose to pass the ball to the inside, which can only be considered one point. They are still one point away from winning now, and they have to play at least two more rounds to win! So the ball just now was not handled well."

Seeing that what he said was reasonable, Jones did not argue with him. At this time, Rachel, who was about to fight, saw that the situation was not easy to take action, so he said coldly: "Indeed, the 'Boncats' could pass the ball to the 'Cold Blood Assassin' on the outside just now."

At this time the little black boy turned around and said, "You are very familiar with this place!"

"Yes!" Jones replied,

"I just came here. I want to fight here once, but I only have one person. With you two, would you like to form a team with me?"

"Yes! But I don't know how good you are. You know, it's time to compare with the owners here, and I can only pay half of the bet at least one thousand dollars!"

"Of course! It doesn't matter if I'm giving it all! Because I feel relieved about my skills!"

"Okay! You give it all!" Seeing that he was willing to give it all, Rachel of all, of course blocked his words! Rachel knew that he had no money, so he would not say anything bad about face like other black people!

When the little boy saw Rachel say this, he couldn't help but feel a little unexpected, and then he felt relieved! He thought to himself that he would not lose with my skills, but this guy is quite honest and cute!

Jones was a little confused about what the little man was thinking, so he asked, "Brother! Do you have a lot of money?"

"No! I only have two thousand dollars on me. I will have to go back to Louisville in more than half a month. This is my food and car fare for the past half month!"

Rachel and Jones were obviously frightened by this little man, so Rachel looked at the amazing little man carefully. It was not too much to watch it, and after careful observation, he was shocked!

It turns out that this kid is,,,
