Black Basketball: A false start
Chapter 97 Training Camp Opens
Chapter 97 Training Camp Opens
“Hey, you’re late, kid. It’s far past four o’clock now.” In the court, a bald black figure, who was already soaked all over, appeared in Kaneki Ken’s eyes, “Go, help me pick up the ball.”
“Michael, have you heard my story too?” Kaneki Ken stood there without moving, but asked back curiously.
“Fuck, you’re a thirteen-year-old kid, what stories can you have?” Jordan stopped shooting and wiped his sweat with a towel. “Believe me, I have more fucking stories to tell. As for your four points, well, they’re good topics for conversation.”
“You’re right, Michael.” Kaneki Ken responded, “After I dunk on you, maybe I can have a better story.”
“What the Fxxk?” Jordan looked at the boy in front of him who was unwilling to admit defeat and laughed in surprise. “Fuck, I kind of like you now, kid. I hope you can fight me in the end.”
“Maybe we can fight now.” Kaneki Ken, who had just been strengthened, felt that he was incredibly strong.
“No No No, rookie.” Jordan smiled and shook his head. “I play for money. At least until you beat all the players in the training camp, you are not worthy of playing against me.”
“Michael is mine.” At this moment, a young voice sounded behind Kaneki Ken, “Do you dare to fight with me? You know I will beat you to pieces, Michael.”
“Man” When Kaneki Ken heard this, he knew who was coming. He turned around and saw that it was the legendary basketball star Kobe Bryant whom he often saw on TV in his previous life.
“Fuck, kids nowadays aren’t cute at all.” Jordan was a very competitive person, and after being provoked by Kaneki Ken and Kobe, his face turned ugly, “If you really want to try.”
“Michael.” Just as Jordan was about to give the two men a hard lesson, Falk’s voice rang out from the high platform at the sidelines, “Go and clean up, the opening ceremony will begin soon.”
“.Fxxk.” In front of outsiders, Jordan decided to give his agent some face, pointed his fingers at his eyes and looked at the two. “I will remember you two, kids, I hope you can hold on to the end.”
“Haha, of course you have to remember me.” Kaneki Ken chuckled, “After all, I’m the man who’s going to dunk on you.”
“I can definitely beat you, Michael.” Kobe turned into a parrot and looked at Jordan with full of fighting spirit.
“.” Jordan snorted unhappily and walked towards the locker room. At this time, more and more players came to the stadium.
“Hmph!” With Jordan’s departure, Kobe and Ken Kaneki were left looking at each other. The moment their eyes met, they both snorted coldly and turned their heads to warm up.
“Well, kids, welcome to my training camp.” Jordan stood in front of the teenagers who came to train, looking at them with an expression of “I am the best”. “You are lucky to come to my training camp, but in my training camp, you’d better be prepared to train in hell. Anyone who can’t hold on can quit at any time. I am not a babysitter for wimps.”
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Jordan’s eyes kept drifting towards Kaneki Ken and Kobe, and he continued, “Of course, in my training camp, the trainer will teach you all my basketball skills, and your money will not be wasted. Of course, the best guys among you can even get a chance to get my guidance, as long as you want.”
“Fxxk, not now, both of you put your hands down.” Jordan said helplessly, pointing at Kobe and Kaneki Ken who raised their hands.
Kobe put down his raised hand in disappointment, but Kaneki Ken’s hand was still raised high.
“What are you doing?” Jordan asked puzzledly, “I won’t play with you until you become the best player.”
“No, Mr. Michael.” Kaneki Ken said, trying hard to suppress his smile, “If I become the strongest player in the training camp, I hope you can teach me three-point shooting.”
“Fuck, did you do that on purpose?” Jordan was completely furious at Kaneki Ken, “You’d better pray that you don’t become the best player, or I will definitely beat you up!” “Forget it.” Falk walked up and grabbed Jordan, “Don’t bother with a child.”
“Okay, stop looking. People 0-100, line up at venue A. People 101-200, line up at venue B.” The trainer stepped forward to try to ease the awkward atmosphere. “Training starts now. Run faster!”
In a chaotic atmosphere, Michael Jordan’s Las Vegas training camp kicked off. I don’t know if it was a coincidence, Kobe and Kaneki Ken were assigned to two different halves.
“Fuck, these two brats are so annoying.” Jordan looked at the two people who started training with a complicated expression, “But damn, I actually admire them a little. I hope they can stand out. I’m going to train them well.”
“Bang~Bang~”
Outside a basketball hall near the training ground, a little boy with fiery red hair was staring at the basketball game in a daze.
“Really? I don’t know why my parents came to America.” The little boy sighed, “I can’t understand the language here, and I can’t make friends.”
“Hey~”
Just as the little boy was stunned, a basketball flew out from the court and rolled to the side of the little boy.
“Hey man, here.” A boy with black hair and a teardrop mole on the corner of his eye waved to the boy, signaling him to pass the ball. The boy picked up the basketball from the ground, threw it to the boy, and left the court.
“Asian appearance.” The black-haired boy pondered as he looked at the back of the little boy walking away, passed the ball to a black boy, turned and left the court, and ran in the direction the little boy left.
“Hey, wait.” The boy called the little boy, “What’s your name?”
“My name uh.” The little boy stuttered, not knowing how to introduce himself.
“Are you from Japan?” Hearing the boy’s familiar accent, the boy’s expression was shocked and he switched to Japanese and said, “My name is Himuro Tatsuya, what’s your name?”
“Ah~ I’m saved.” Hearing the familiar accent, the little boy was obviously much more relaxed and introduced himself enthusiastically, “My name is Kagami Daigo, and I just came here with my parents.”
“Hello, Kagami.” Himuro Tatsuya said in a friendly manner, “I just saw you were alone here, do you have no friends with you?”
“Ah, I just came here, I don’t speak the language, and my parents are busy with work, so I haven’t had the chance to make any friends.” Kagami scratched his head embarrassedly.
“In that case, I will be Kagami’s friend!” Himuro Tatsuya smiled and stretched out his hand, “Would you like to play basketball with me? It will be easier to make friends if you play basketball~”
“Do you want to play basketball?” Kagami looked at the court not far away, “But I don’t know how to play basketball.”
“It’s okay, I’ll teach you.” Himuro Tatsuya patted his chest, “How about it? Do you want to come?”
“Yes!” Kagami Daiga, who no longer had any worries, nodded solemnly and grasped the hand extended by Himuro Tatsuya.
