This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 18 Jason's Arrogance

In the car, Misha briefly introduced the relationship between the characters in her family to Zhou Lin.

Father Jason, whom Zhou Lin has already met, is a somewhat arrogant middle-aged man, but he has the capital to be proud. He is handsome and earns a lot of money.

The mother, Merlin, is a teacher in a junior high school in Warren County. She has a gentle personality, but she is very strict with her children.

Although the two have filed for divorce, they have already agreed to share the responsibility of raising their children, and they have agreed to reunite once a year on Christmas.

Misha also has a younger brother named Cuby, who is 11 years old, is naughty and active, and suffers from mild ADHD.

Grandpa Layton also lived in Warren County and would get together at festivals.

Interestingly, his grandfather Layton was a fan of the Chinese Kung Fu superstar Bruce Lee. When he was young, he went to China for two years to learn Chinese Kung Fu. He also has a certain ability in Chinese.

"So don't worry, you and my grandfather will definitely have a lot to talk about, he is a China hand."

And at noon, the two had arrived at Misha's hometown.

A small town of less than 800 people.

There are very few people walking on the street.

It's a bit like the Chinese countryside, with white houses with courtyards, and you can see the light-white mountains and jungles not far away.

However, compared to China, the ground of the town is so clean that there is hardly any garbage and dust to be seen.

"Isn't it very beautiful, and the air is also very good."

The car stopped in front of a house.

Misha went down and opened the courtyard door, and drove the car in.

The yard in front of Misha's house is very large, and it is striking that a basketball hoop is installed, and the actual area of ​​the yard is about half the size of a basketball court.

"Mom, Dad!"

Misha took Zhou Lin out of the car and shouted.

A middle-aged woman poked her head out of a side window and said, "Hey, my dear, I'm helping your brother with his homework. This guy worries me too much. Your father and grandpa are playing chess over there. If you If you are hungry, there should be bread and ham in the refrigerator."

Saying that, the woman who should be Misha's mother retracted her head again.

"My mother is always like this." Misha smiled and brought Zhou Lin into the house.

"Dad, Grandpa, I'm back! And I brought back the guests."

When Zhou Lin walked into the living room, there were two men playing chess by the fireplace.

One of them is Jason, and the other should be Misha's grandfather Layton.

"Misha, how did you bring the stranger back?"

Jason frowned and glanced at Zhou Lin, then turned his gaze to the chessboard road.

It seemed that Jason still didn't like himself very much.

"I talked to my mother."

Misha said: "Besides, you are only staying at home for two days. As you said, you need to talk to Zhou Lin again. Grandpa, this is Zhou Lin, Chinese, my high school classmate, and a member of our school basketball team." .”

"Hello, kid from China!"

Misha's grandfather smiled at Zhou Lin, and greeted Zhou Lin in some substandard Chinese, looking very kind.

"Hello, Grandpa."

Misha smiled and said: "Grandpa, help me take care of the guests, Zhou, you wait here for a while, I will go to the kitchen to get something to eat."

"Okay, stop playing, I admit defeat, Jason."

Grandfather Layton directly conceded defeat, obviously not interested, stood up and looked at Zhou Lin, who was half a head taller than him, and said, "Wow, how tall are you, six feet seven?"

"Well, about six feet eight!"

Layton said, "You also play basketball?"

"Ah."

"I was a star player in college."

Layton smiled and said, "I heard from Misha that you are a talented player, how about it, let you see how good I am."

"..."

"father!"

Jason frowned and said, "The doctor said you can't do strenuous exercise."

"Well, I was just joking with this young man," Layton said.

Unlike Jason, his father, Layton, is a lively and lovely old boy with a bit of American humor. He also likes to blow some calf leather. At the same time, because he has stayed in China for two years, he has a little affection for Zhou Lin. .

For dinner, Zhou Lin cooked two dishes, one was braised pork that Misha likes to eat, and the other was salt-baked chicken wings. Today is Christmas, and it is also a grand and rich meal of the year.

Zhou Lin still has a sense of not being able to steal the limelight from the host, as the guest can do as he pleases.

However, Zhou Lin's culinary skills still received official compliments from Layton, who has the highest family background, as well as a CD action.

After dinner, the family played Texas Hold'em together again.

This was also the busiest Christmas Zhou Lin had ever had since he came to the United States.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Lin heard the sound of hitting a ball in the yard. According to Misha, his younger brother Kuby also likes basketball, and he can control the attention caused by ADHD when playing basketball. unconcentrated.

Of course, Zhou Lin woke up early, he has the habit of getting up early.

It just so happens that there is a basketball court in the yard.

When Jason finally couldn't bear the sound of the stadium and looked down, Zhou Lin had already practiced basketball with Kuby.

He patiently taught Kubi some basketball skills, and the latter listened very carefully. It is also a miracle that his naughty son can listen so quietly and seriously.

While eating breakfast, Jason took the initiative to talk to Zhou Lin for the first time.

"I heard that your school's competition went well this year?"

"Yes, most of them won."

"It was the only loss."

Misha added: "And we weren't there that game week, and our Brown Scorpions were the No. [-] seed for the state championship."

"Low-level league."

Jason shook his head and said, "It doesn't prove anything."

But Jason then said: "I've watched some of your game videos. If you want to play at our University of Miami, it's not that simple."

"It will take time to prove it!"

Zhou Lin nodded.

Jason said: "First of all, you have to make sure you become the best player in the league, and then lead the team to win the championship. There will be an invitational tournament in New Jersey in February next year, which is a bigger stage. You can try to challenge. Of course, that league Only the top teams in the country will be invited, and I don't expect much from the Fairfax County team, and I don't expect much from you."

"Father!" Misha said with some complaints.

Even if the University of Miami is not considered the top team in the country, but the NCAA Division I team, his arrogance is not without reason.

And he is different from his father. He doesn't like Chinese people, and he doesn't want to believe that a Chinese can play basketball well. near.

"Of course, I also want to warn you, Zhou, I don't like you, and I don't want you to get too close to my daughter. If you want to enter the basketball team of the University of Miami, don't have more than classmates with my daughter. friendship."

really……

"Father! Why do you always say something impolite?" Misha said angrily.

　Signing news has been received, the status has not changed, rest assured to invest.
