Chapter 552 551. Stadium Ball Game (5)
The eight sets of weapons and equipment are not just guns and ammunition, but also tools such as body armor, sights, medical kits, and individual radio stations.
Li Du had no choice but to buy a large safe and lock all the equipment in it.
They now have regulatory responsibilities for these weapons and equipment, and if they are lost or stolen, they will have joint and several liability. This is done to prevent them from selling equipment on the grounds of 'stolen'.
After locking up the equipment, Li Du took out a basketball from the sporting goods he had just obtained, patted it and said, "Don't frown, don't we have other gains? Let's go play."
Hans grabbed the basketball and shouted: "God, play? These are not ordinary basketballs, these are star balls worth tens of thousands of dollars!"
Li Du said: "Yes, but they are still basketballs and can be played."
"What if the signature is worn off? Then the ball will not be easy to sell, and the price will not be high." Hans disagreed and turned into a miser.
Li Du said: "Whatever it is, you have to know that if these balls are sold, it will be very difficult for us to have the opportunity to use the balls signed by the stars. Are you willing to give up this opportunity?"
Hans pondered for a while, then reluctantly said: "Well, you're right, I haven't played with a star signature ball yet, but how about we play rugby?"
Hold the rugby in your arms or throw it out to play, so you don't need to slap it on the ground all the time, and the signature is not easy to wear and tear.
Li Du shook his head, he can't play rugby, he can play basketball, and they also have a basketball master, that is Godzilla.
They don't usually exercise together, and the treasure hunters don't play much together. Even if they want to exercise, they go to the gym together, because their work itself is physical work.
There will be star-signed balls, and there will be more people interested in playing basketball.
Hans yelled, and the treasure hunters who were drinking and chatting in the camp responded one after another. He called his prospective brother-in-law Stephen and other friends and invited them to play together.
Luguan contacted an indoor basketball court. There are many courts on the streets of the United States, but they are cement roads, which are easy to wear and tear the basketball.
They are not afraid of wearing out the basketball, they are afraid of wearing out the signature of the star on it.
Li Du called Playboy. The day before yesterday in Winslow, Playboy had just helped him drive away the pesky ore pickers. He wanted to thank him in person.
Playboy just returned to Flagstaff City today, so he readily accepted his invitation, saying that he would definitely go to the gymnasium to find him.
In this way, they quickly gathered more than a dozen people, which was enough for two teams to play.
Americans like sports. Rugby, basketball, and baseball are the three most popular sports, and they are also the three sports with the highest penetration rate. Most people can play them.
Dao is tall and burly, just like Godzilla, he is naturally suitable for playing. He has received semi-professional training before working, and has been playing on the school team since middle school.
A group of people drove to the basketball stadium, and Lu Guan contacted a small arena with two courts in total.
There are not many people playing indoors this season. The autumn is crisp and clear, the temperature outside is neither too high nor too low, and the sun is gentle and warm, making it suitable for outdoor sports.
When they arrived at the arena, Stephen and Hannah were waiting there with some energy drinks and mineral water in their hands.
After getting the ball, Hannah grabbed it and cheered: "Yeah, Dwyane Wade! I like The Flash, hurry up, let me take some pictures!"
Li Du counted, exactly fourteen men, plus the playboy who rushed over, they can be divided into three teams.
He was on the same team as Da Ao and Godzilla. Seeing this, Dickens shook his head again and again: "How can we fight like this? No, these two guys have to be separated."
Li Du said: "I don't know how to play, they take me to play, Boss Fu is also a piece of trash, how about our team plus Boss Fu?"
Playboy said: "I don't know how to play either, add me."
Turis said: "Who knows if you can play? No, we have to separate."
Li Du played a rogue, holding the fairway: "OK, it's settled, you guys come to the team, who will come up first?"
Hannah patted Stephen and said, "Let them be a team. My brother is really a piece of trash, and Stephen is the master. He is the captain of our middle school team."
Hans rolled his eyes wildly, too angry to speak.
Everyone played together, and there was no need to decide the winner. The other treasure hunters looked at each other and accepted the proposal with a shrug.
Li Du stood on the court, Godzilla threw the ball to him, and said, "Are you in control?"
There are five positions on the basketball court, one center, two forwards and two guards. The two guards are shooting guards and point guards. The point guards are responsible for handling the ball and sorting out the team's offense.
In terms of physical requirements, the center is generally the tallest and most powerful, and the point guard is the shortest, requiring skilled ball skills and a clear mind.
Li Du's football skills are average, he has no pride, but his figure is the shortest among the five, so he is suitable to be a point guard.
He controlled the ball and tried the feel of the ball. The texture of this ball is very good. It is made of genuine calfskin. It is polished smooth and soft. It feels sticky in the palm of your hand. This is a good ball.
In addition to them, there was also a five-member team consisting of Stephen, Dickens, and Lu Guan in the first wave.
Li Du laughed loudly: "You chose a bunch of dwarves?"
Dickens raised his middle finger at him and said: "We want to play small ball, run and bomb, just like the Warriors led by old Nelson, wait to be bombed by us."
The ball is in their hands, they attack first, ten balls a game.
Stephen took the lead, and after he got the ball, he skillfully dribbled the ball under his crotch, and praised: "Good shot."
Hans pushed Li Du and said, "Go and defend him, be careful, Hannah is right, this bastard is a good basketball player, I guess my sister was conquered by his performance on the basketball court."
Li Du stepped forward and said confidently, "Look at mine."
Compared with offense, he still has more confidence in his defensive ability.
Steve patted the ball with his left hand easily, and the basketball was beating in his hands like a good boy. He ran to the three-point line, looked at his running teammates and Li Du in front of him, and said with a smile: "You are too far away. gone."
Li Du opened his arms and said, "Then you shoot a three-pointer, I won't defend."
Hearing this, Steve took a step forward to put away the ball, his calf muscles exerted strength and he jumped up easily, his right hand holding the ball shook his wrist, and the basketball was shot out quickly.
"Shua!" With a crisp sound, Li Du turned his head and saw the basketball fall into the net.
"It's really accurate." He said depressingly.
Hans shouted: "I told you to follow him closely, didn't I tell you? This bastard is a master!"
Li Du turned around and said, "This time I made a mistake, so it won't happen next time."
With the ball in his hand, he also dribbled the ball under his crotch to play tricks. Stephen, who was standing beside him, moved suddenly, and took out his ball with a wave.
Li Du couldn't react in time, he just felt light in his hand, and the ball was gone!
Damn, it's fucking hot, and he was depressed at this moment.
