Chapter 6: The Old Ball Guy Takes You Through US High School Short Dramas
The classic American high school campus drama unfolds with Wang Kai's enrollment at Montverde Academy.
Scene 1: A locker room in an American high school hallway. Character 1: Wang Kai and a certain old basketball hooligan. Character 2: Richard, Eddie's number one henchman. Other characters and onlookers.
Richard Hatton approached Wang Kai, who was storing his belongings, when he suddenly lost control and crashed into the seemingly unsuspecting Wang Kai.
"Hey Richard, watch out, you're our starting point guard, your hands are important. Oh my god, your hands are so small, smaller than my grandma's hands."
Wang Kai nimbly turned around, dodging Richard Hatton's seemingly fall but actually deliberate collision and the deliberately extended elbow.
After dodging Richard Hatton's deliberately extended elbow, Wang Kai, seemingly aided by the guidance of the true veteran basketball player Kobe, grabbed the opponent's wrist.
Compared to Wang Kai's hands, which are close to the average size of NBA players, Richard's hands, who is 1.8 meters tall, do appear small.
Wang Kai's satire of Richard, under the guidance of the veteran troll, is even more American than American football.
Scene 2, in a corner of the basketball court at Montverde College, Character 1: Wang Kai and a certain old basketball hooligan, Character 2: Eddie himself, Character 3: Eddie's second-in-command James, other characters, and onlookers.
James deliberately threw the ball hard at Eddie, who dodged it easily. The ball flew rapidly toward Wang Kai, who was stretching with his back to the crowd.
Under the timely domination of the old scoundrel, Wang Kai tilted his head to dodge. The basketball hit the wall and bounced back. Wang Kai stretched out his foot to juggle the ball, then turned and volleyed it into the air.
The basketball flew towards Eddie with even greater speed, but Eddie reacted quickly and dodged it.
James, the second lackey who had been standing close behind Eddie, ready to laugh at Wang Kai, couldn't dodge in time and the basketball hit him squarely on the forehead.
"Wow, sorry, I haven't played football in a long time, my footwork was off, I'll definitely be more accurate next time."
Scene 3: In front of lockers in the corridor of Montverde College late at night. Character 1: Billy Bowen, Eddie's third henchman; Character 2: Campus security guard on night patrol; Other characters: None.
Billy Bowen secretly found Wang Kai's locker and then checked if the toad in his pocket was still alive and kicking.
Using the tools in his hand, he gently pried open Wang Kai's locker, intending to put the toad inside and give the annoying Chinese boy a little surprise the next day.
As soon as Wang Kai's locker was pried open, two black bats rushed out and lunged straight at Billy's face.
"ah!!!!!!"
Billy's screams soared to 130 decibels.
The night security guard on patrol heard screams and rushed into the corridor, where he found Billy, who had wet his pants in fright.
Scene 4, in the locker room of the Montverde College basketball gym, Character 1: Wang Kai and a certain old basketball hooligan, Character 2: Eddie himself, who has run out of lackeys, other characters, and onlookers.
Wang Kai, who had just finished showering, walked towards his locker with his lower body wrapped in a towel. Eddie El approached Wang Kai.
"Listen up, you yellow-skinned monkey, don't get too cocky. I'm the boss here. You shouldn't be here. You only deserve to wash dishes in Chinese restaurants with your filthy compatriots. Don't think you're safe just because you can dodge a few times. You just wait, I'll kick your ass hard later."
Hearing Eddie El's racist remarks after he personally stepped onto the stage, Wang Kai did not impulsively punch him. Instead, he glared at Eddie El with a cold smile.
Wang Kai slowly reached his hand down to his crotch and then took out a "pen" from the bath towel.
"Idiot, do you know what this is? This thing is called a voice recorder. Congratulations, buddy, your pronunciation is very clear!"
Eddie immediately tried to snatch the recording pen from Wang Kai's hand, but Wang Kai skillfully dodged it.
"Come help me, you idiots, if I'm done for, you won't be either."
Eddie tried to get help from the onlookers, but unfortunately, no one dared to touch Wang Kai.
After spending a short time together, the Hawks discovered that Wang Kai was even more impressive than they had imagined, not only in terms of his basketball skills but also in his mastery of the so-called "rules".
It's human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm. In addition, head coach Kevin Boyle also attaches more importance to Wang Kai. The Hawks also know that Eddie is already a senior in high school. Once Eddie leaves Montverde after his senior year, Wang Kai will definitely be the team leader. Most of them are juniors or freshmen in high school, so it is obvious that they do not dare to cause trouble for the future leader at this time.
"You're finished, Eddie El. You're going to be expelled from school. You won't get into college, let alone the NCAA, and you'll never make it to the NBA."
Wang Kai's words pierced Eddie El's heart like a dagger. His family was of average means, and he was able to attend Montverde Academy only because of his talent as a four-star high school student. If he were expelled from the school, his proud father would definitely kill him.
"Please, Wang, I was wrong. Please don't give the recording to the school. I beg you. I just... I just let you take away my position as the boss. I was wrong. From now on, you are the boss."
At this moment, Eddie finally behaved like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child. He had not experienced the ways of the world and judged things based only on his own past experiences. When Wang Kai, with the help of the old rogue, showed a maturity beyond their imagination, they finally became afraid.
"Being the team leader doesn't mean you can bully or discriminate against me. On the court, as long as you can beat me normally, you are the leader. But you can't use other means to discriminate against or suppress me. Let's see who can be the leader on the court, see who can score more points, and see who can bring more victory to the team."
Having spent three years with Kobe Bryant, Wang Kai's growth wasn't just in basketball skills. He learned many things from Kobe that basketball couldn't provide, making him more mature than his peers.
"Then, the voice recorder..."
"I'll keep it for now and won't give it to the school. I hope you can win me over with your performance on the court. If we win the state championship this year, I'll delete the recording."
"Not bad acting, you little rascal. Hurry up and put that broken pen away, I don't want anyone to notice."
Inside the soul space, Lao Ke praised Wang Kai's acting skills, after all, it was quite daring to impersonate a recording pen with an ordinary fountain pen.
"Old basketball rascal, thanks for the compliment. Your directing skills are pretty good too. You said I could try my luck in Hollywood after I retire? No, it seems impossible. You probably can't go to Los Angeles. Oh well, how about we break up the Lakers when I'm powerful enough, and you can go somewhere else? We can go then, how about that?"
"There's a sly fox in law school, and you really are a jerk—no, to put it in Chinese, you're just a nobody from an internet cafe!"
