003:【Bezer High School Duo】

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Iverson came to Fan Xi's room, and he was familiar with the road.

Uncle Van Le downstairs had long known that Iverson was the most famous little genius athlete in Hampton. He often saw this talented little guy on local Virginia TV stations. Everyone knew that he had a bright future.

Therefore, Uncle Vanle was always polite when he saw Iverson and did not stop Fan Xi from interacting with him at all.

"Hey, Jack." Iverson walked into the room and threw Van Xi a box of food: "This is the steak I brought back from the city center, top-notch."

For Iverson, a box of steak is simply a currency that cannot be harder than harder.

But he is a very loyal person. He will never forget to give Fan Xi a portion of good things. Because he knows that Fan Xi always delivers food to his house.

Fan Xi took the steak without being polite. It was the time for a 15 or 16-year-old child to grow and develop, eating more steak can increase nutrition.

Taking advantage of Fan Xi's steak, Iverson continued: "It was very exciting just now. Simmons, Wayne, Stevens and others had a fight with the white people in the bowling alley."

In Iverson's mouth, this is a common thing.

Fan Xi knew all three people who mentioned the name. They were good friends Iverson met on the streets. They always swaggered in groups, equivalent to Iverson's personal bodyguard.

As a sports star, Iverson can easily gain the protection and respect of some street gangsters. He is also a very loyal person. He is always loyal to the neighborhood and his mother, and to the loyalty of those streets.

Fan Xi would not evaluate his principles of dealing with things, would not correct him, or persuade him to leave those friends.

Although Fan Xi was two years younger than Iverson, Fan Xi was very clear. Perhaps it was the dream that lasted seven days and seven nights. He always felt that he had lived a life, so he was very mature.

During the process of growing up, Iverson was always able to enlighten his thinking from Fan Xi.

Iverson trusted Fan Xi without reservation, which was completely different from the trust on the street. To what Iverson said to his mother: Jack is a force for good.

"I decided to give up football." Iverson, who led the Bezer High School football team to the first Class 3A state championship in history, said to Fan Xi very seriously: "I decided to put all my energy into basketball."

Previously, Iverson had been swaying between football and basketball: one was his favorite sport, and the other was the one that could improve his family's situation.

Tonight, he finally made a decision. He immediately told Fan Xi, who was two years younger than him, that this was his friend who could truly speak his heart.

"The NBA is crazy. I decided to play next year's high school league and directly participate in the 1994 NBA draft. Before that, I planned to attend a few more training camps this summer. I heard that Sampson would go back to Virginia to hold training camps, which would attract many professional basketball people at that time. I must perform in it... and next year I will definitely participate in the McDonald's National High School Basketball Tournament that can only be participated in by senior high school students... I will definitely stand out..."

Iverson gushed.

When he said this, Fan Xi frowned, and he vaguely realized something was wrong: 94? High school draft?

He always feels something strange.

Iverson was still muttering beside him.

"Do you know? Jack Shake O'Neal became a multimillionaire just after entering the NBA last year. The Orlando Magic gave him a seven-year, $41 million contract. There is also the second-ranked Mooning, who also received a six-year, $26 million contract. And they can all jump out of the contract in the fourth year."

"Damn it. This is simply robbing money, and it's completely legal."

Iverson's words surprised Fan Xi, which was indeed a shocking astronomical figure. Playing basketball can actually make millions of dollars a year. Uncle Fanle's Chinese burger restaurant can earn at most $12,000,000, which is still the case when the black area business has been opened in the past two years.

With the further commercialization of the basketball market, the league's salary is getting higher and higher. The Magician signed $25 million in 25 years and was already a sky-high price. Now a rookie can get a starting salary of $3 million if he enters the league.

How can such numbers not stimulate these genius teenagers in the slums?

"I agreed, Jack. We'll go to the draft together. If I'm selected, I must ask the team that chooses me to give you a contract." Iverson slapped his chest loudly, and he was such a loyal person.

Fan Xi smiled.

"Okay, I'm going home. The day after tomorrow it's our match with Hampton High School. Are you ready? We must win the championship this year."

Iverson patted Fan Xi on the shoulder and left the Chinese burger shop.

After Iverson left, Fan Xi touched his bulging belly, and he stood up and moved for a while.

Then, a series of keywords popped up in his mind: bowling alley? Brawling? 94? Draft? Iverson.

No!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt a sense of crisis, as if something bad was about to happen.

He always felt that he had experienced it in that dream.

This is completely different from the "sense of déjà vu" written in psychology books.

...

At four o'clock in the morning, Fan Xi got up. He helped Uncle Fanle make the "Chinese burger" for the day. After eating noodles, he then walked towards Beze High School with his schoolbag on his back.

Fan Xi's academic performance is relatively average and of medium level, but he is definitely much better than Iverson, a repeat student, so at least he doesn't have to worry about further studies.

As a member of the school team, he can avoid attending classes at any time. Anyway, this kind of public school is very loose and is taught in a free-range manner. If you want to make a difference in academics, you have to go to an elite private high school.

Fan Xi entered the stadium and started training after a simple stretch.

Fan Xi is 1.85 meters tall, has an arm span of two meters, and weighs 67.5 kilograms. He serves as a point guard at Beze High School.

His style of playing is very... weird. Although his physical fitness is very ordinary, his ball control ability is extremely strong. The players of Berze High School unanimously believe that Fan Xi's ball control level is more advanced than Iverson, because Iverson's gorgeous ball control ability relies more on his super physical fitness. He can make various exaggerated and large-scale changes. His explosive power and speed can always easily kill his opponent with a killer crossover.

But Jack is different. His ball control is pleasing to the eye and an extension of his imagination. He can always make all kinds of incredible but reasonable super ball controls. In his hands, basketball is as well-behaved as a yo-yo led by a thread. Every time he faces him, he has to be humiliated by his IQ.

To some extent, Van Xi and Iverson represent two extreme dribbling styles on the streets of Campton.

Hampton streetball legend once said a very classic saying: when-Iverson-cross, it's-over! when-Jack-cross, it's-joke!

When Iverson began to change direction, everything was over. When Jack began to change direction, the funny scene came.
