Black Basketball: A false start
Chapter 95 Arrival in the United States
Chapter 95 Arrival in the United States
“Ladies and gentlemen, We have just landed at Harry Reid International Airport…”
“Ha~” Listening to the voice broadcast on the radio, Kaneki Ken stretched, took off his eye mask, and looked out the window in a daze, “Are we there yet?”
“Hey, you’re awake?” Nijimura Shuzo came to Kaneki Ken’s side, “If you don’t wake up, you might be taken to the Netherlands.”
“Oh.” Kaneki Ken stood up belatedly, took his backpack off the luggage rack, looked at Nijimura Shuzo and asked, “Uncle’s place?”
“Akashi has already sent someone to take my father to the hospital.” Nijimura Shuzo said with a smile, “Let’s go quickly. It just so happens that Akashi has arranged a suitable place for us to stay. Let’s go and take a look.”
“Akagi?” Kaneki Ken raised his eyebrows slightly, “I forgot that he is the eldest son of a chaebol family. He is quite generous.”
“Hurry up, the drivers are waiting at the airport gate.” Nijimura Shuzo walked towards the cabin door with a smile, “When we return home, we must thank them well~”
“He’s a chaebol, how else can you thank him except being his slave?” Kaneki Ken teased, “For people like us, if we apply to be his slaves, we don’t even know if they will accept us…”
“You’re the only one who talks too much!” Nijimura Shuzo was a little upset by what Kaneki Ken said, and slapped Kaneki Ken hard on the head, “They arranged a house for us, but it has a garden and a playground. If you don’t want to go, I’ll go by myself!”
“Hey, stop, stop, stop.” Kaneki Ken hurriedly followed Nijimura Shuzo, “I was too loud just now. You’re a bastard if you don’t take advantage of an opportunity.”
“Oh my God… it’s so big!” As the vehicle slowly stopped in front of a garden villa, Kaneki Ken and Nijimura Shuzo stared at the mansion in front of them in amazement and fell into deep thought.
“Senior Nijimura, is this the house with a garden and a playground that you mentioned?” Kaneki Ken pointed at the mansion in front of him and felt a little restrained for the first time.
“Emmmm, it should be correct… After all, they were the ones who sent us here…” Nijimura Shuzo also became a little uncertain, “Let me take a look at the address Akashi sent me…”
“Mr. Kaneki, Mr. Nijimura, this is the residence that Master Akashi arranged for you in the United States. It’s a little shabby, so please don’t mind.” A middle-aged man with white hair came up and handed over an access card. “You two can go in and take a look.”
……
“Wuhu~” Kaneki Ken walked through the garden into the room and sat down on the sofa, “Oh, it’s so comfortable~ Senior Nijimura, you should try it too, it’s really exciting.”
“I won’t play with you anymore.” Nijimura Shuzo put down his backpack. “I have to go to the hospital to talk to the doctor about my dad’s treatment progress. I’ll stay in the room on the first floor. You can choose a room to rest.”
“Hi hi~” Kaneki Ken waved his hand leisurely, “Senior, you go to the hospital first. I wish uncle a speedy recovery~”
“Tsk, kid.” Nijimura Shuzo looked at the lazy Kaneki Ken with a helpless smile and walked out of the room.
“Oh, it’s so comfortable~ Rich people know how to enjoy themselves~” Kaneki Ken adjusted his sleeping position comfortably, “I don’t know what those little brats in Teiko are doing now…”
“Hey? Kise-kun from the soccer club?” Momoi Satsuki looked at Aomine Daiki curiously, “A-Da, why did you suddenly remember to ask him?” After the team training, Aomine Daiki asked Momoi Satsuki about Kise Ryota’s situation.
“Ah, that guy came to the basketball hall today.” Qingfeng Daihui said with anticipation, “Although I have never seen him play basketball, I always feel that he should be a big shot…but there are too many girls around him. Today, not long after he arrived, the girls who came to watch blocked the door of the basketball hall…”
“Haha, that’s Kise’s fate.” Taoi Satsuki said with a smile, “Kise-san is a well-known model of Johnny’s Office. He’s handsome and good at sports. He’s very popular with girls in school. But as for basketball, I’ve never seen him play it. He must be a layman in basketball.”
“Alas~ People like that have fans, why doesn’t Ken-zai have the same fate as Kaneki?” Murasakihara Atsushi felt a little unfair for Kaneki Ken-zai, “Ken-zai even has a column in a sports magazine…”
“Of course there are Ken-kun~” Momoi Satsuki said with a smile, “But Ken-kun is not a person who likes to be high-profile, so no one has seen Kaneki-no-Mikoto appear collectively~”
“It doesn’t matter what happens.” Qingfeng Daihui thought excitedly, “I really hope I can have a fight with him sooner…”
“Qingzai can’t beat Yanzai, so he bullies the beginner who looks like him?” Murasakibara Atsushi glanced at Aomine Daiki, “It’s really worthy of Qingzai to come up with this idea~”
“What? I’m taking care of beginners! How can taking care of beginners be called bullying?” Aomine Daiki said stubbornly.
“Don’t underestimate Kise-kun~” Momoi Satsuki said with a smile, “According to gossip, Kise-kun has a pretty good talent for sports. No matter what sport it is, he can basically learn it just by watching it once, and he will soon become a leader in the club~”
“Tsk, even Haizaki can do this, let alone Kenzai…” Murasakibara Atsushi sneered, “But according to what Momoko said, this Kise has the potential to become a lower-level substitute for Kenzai.”
“I wonder when he will be able to join the basketball club~ I’m really looking forward to it!” Aomine Daiki looked up at the starry sky with anticipation, imagining himself beating up Kise Ryouta and even Kaneki Ken.
……
“Hey Michael.” After another sleepless night of poker, David Falk stood in front of Michael Jordan, who was sleepy. “Your youth training camp will start tomorrow, and you have to stay in a good mental state.”
“Fuck it up, Falk.” Michael Jordan yawned tiredly, “It’s just a show with a group of teenagers. Do you want me to fight them seriously?”
“That’s right, Michael.” David Falk took out a USB drive and a notebook, “It was even like this last year, but this year, there’s a teenager from Asia. I feel like you need to pay attention to him and see if you can cultivate a good impression with him. In the future, maybe we can sign him.”
“Another video highlight, Falk?” Michael Jordan said disdainfully. “If you just look at the highlights, the NBA can produce one or two hundred of me a year.”
“Of course I know that the highlights are not credible, Michael.” David Falk opened the USB drive while speaking, “But our client, Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and its affiliated Sports Department provided us with all the video footage of this boy’s games. I think you need to take a look. To be honest, I think that in a game of that level, the influence this boy showed on the game, even if he was placed in a US high school, he would be at least a four-star high school student.”
“Ha~ Okay, okay, four-star high school student.” Michael Jordan yawned and said lazily, “I don’t care, you can watch it or not. But if you insist, then it’s up to you, Falk. Fxxk, I will never stay up late to play cards again.”
