() The next day, Kamikaze had a good sleep. His mother heated the meal downstairs twice before going upstairs to wake Kamikaze up.
"Xiao Feng, it's almost noon. If you don't get up, mom will go out, and you won't be able to eat by then." The mother knocked on the door.
"I got it." Kamikaze opened the quilt and shouted loudly toward the door.
"Then I'll be waiting for you downstairs. Come down quickly." The mother's voice became farther and farther away, and she must have gone downstairs.
After Kamikaze got up and washed up, he slowly walked down the stairs. His mother in the living room had already put the hot meals on the dining table.
"Xiao Feng, come here quickly, the food is hot." The mother waved to the kamikaze.
"Oh. Mom, I told you to leave me alone today. I finally have a day off and I need a good rest." Kamikaze Daichi still looked sleepy even though he had washed his face.
"You kid, have you forgotten? We agreed that we would go out and buy sneakers for you today. In the past three months, you have grown two centimeters taller, and your sneakers are no longer comfortable." The mother said to Kamikaze.
Yi put vegetables in his bowl and said to him with a smile.
"Oh, I got it," Kamikaze said as he buried his head in eating breakfast.
"Also, today we are going to the home of my mother's classmates from junior high school. They have invited me to be their guest a long time ago. If I have time today, we will go together." Mom said another thing that Kamikaze Doichi didn't know.
.
"What, I'm not going. I'm not interested in a group of aunts chatting about boring topics." Kamikaze Daichi objected loudly, "Besides, you're the one being invited, not me."
"Does that matter?" Mom's decision seemed not to be easily changed, and she launched her special trick, the nagging offensive, against Kamikaze Daichi.
"Okay, I'll go, I'll just go." Kamikaze covered his ears as he really couldn't stand his mother's endless chatter.
"That's right." The mother's smile became even brighter, and she put some vegetables into the kamikaze bowl. "Eat quickly, Xiaofeng, we don't have much time. By the way, we are really busy today.
"
At 10:30 in the morning, Kamikaze Daichi finally went out with his mother. Along the way, Kamikaze Daichi kept enduring his mother's nagging. But when Kamikaze Daichi saw his mother's good humor, he accepted it.
.And thinking about it, in the past few months since I joined the basketball club, I really haven't gone shopping with my mother properly.
"Xiao Feng, how about we go to the sneaker store we went to last time?" Mother seemed to be very satisfied with the store last time.
"Okay, I'm just doing it casually." When Kamikaze thought of the last time he bought sneakers, he couldn't help but silently mourned for the owner of the store for a few minutes. But when he thought of the store where Sakuragi Hanamichi and Akagi Haruko visited,
I felt very happy for the boss again.
"Okay, then it's decided." The mother took the lead and walked in the direction of the store. Kamikaze followed her mother and came to the shoe store together.
Looking at the various sneakers on the shoe rack, my mother showed no troubled expression at all. While choosing, she said, "Xiao Feng, what kind of sneakers do you like? My mother has been reading some information on this aspect during this time. It turns out that basketball
The choice of shoes is so important for a basketball player."
"Of course, basketball shoes are like a second life for a basketball player. A good pair of basketball shoes can not only help athletes maximize their strength during the game, but the most important thing is to protect basketball players and prevent The occurrence of sports injuries." Kamikaze Daichi felt that it was necessary to popularize this knowledge to his mother to prevent her from using the messy things she saw from nowhere on her own body.
"Oh, really? Why do I see something different?" The mother looked like she was thinking.
"Of course." Kamikaze said, breaking into a cold sweat. Fortunately, he followed.
"Choosing basketball shoes is not just about choosing famous brands. Of course, big-brand sneakers have a lot of technology in them, so good basketball shoes must be based on these famous brands. Then you have to combine yourself, from stability, cushioning, and durability. , the most important thing is to fully consider whether it is suitable for you in terms of fit.”
"There is so much knowledge here." My mother opened her mouth in surprise, "I don't even know about it."
Kamikaze Daichi was even more speechless, thinking to himself, Mom, what kind of crap have you read?
"There are so many famous brand sneakers here, Xiaofeng, which one should we choose?" Mom picked up this pair and it looked good, and that pair looked good too, but it was really hard to choose.
"I have to do this myself. Only I know myself better." Kamikaze Doichi then said, "When I play, I always focus on breakthroughs. When dribbling, my body tilts downward more, so I have to choose Shoes with straight or slightly semi-curved lasts can correct and adjust my gait. Moreover, emergency stops, quick starts and lateral movements are relatively frequent, so the soles and supporting parts of the shoe edges must be very firm."
"And it should have good cushioning properties. The insole is best made of molded EVA, polyurethane or a combination of the two, so that the shock absorption effect is quite effective."
"The last and most important thing is that the sneakers must fit your feet. If you buy them and can't even wear them, let alone play basketball, it would be a failure. Unless of course you buy them for collection. When playing basketball, athletes' feet They will stretch and enlarge due to impact. They can increase up to half a size in warm weather. So they should not be too crowded. There should be a thumbnail-width gap between the top of the shoe and the longest toe so that the toes can As you move around, the heel should fit properly, but not be tight. I have grown two centimeters taller, and the original sneakers no longer fit my feet well. I need to re-measure the length of my feet to choose a suitable size."
After Kamikaze Daichi came back to his senses, he realized that the surrounding customers and mothers were looking at him blankly, obviously shocked by his professional words.
Kamikaze Daichi scratched his head in embarrassment. If he had known it, he would have thought about it in his mind, and he didn't have to say it out loud.
"Xiao Feng, Mom didn't know you knew so much about basketball shoes." The mother who came back to her senses happily took Kamikaze Daichi's hand and said.
"That's what it should be, okay? I'm also a member of the school basketball team." Kamikaze Daichi said matter-of-factly.
"Haha, what this little brother said is very wonderful. Basketball shoes are very important to basketball players. So everyone must be careful and scientific when choosing. Of course, the shoes in our store are all brand-name products. It’s guaranteed, so you can choose with confidence.” The boss jumped out of nowhere and seized the opportunity to advertise and promote his sneakers.
"Boss, you are so awesome. You never miss an opportunity like this." Seeing everyone around him leaving to choose shoes, Kamikaze bumped the boss with his elbow and said, "You are really good at business.
"
"Of course." The boss was very happy to be praised, and he was indeed proud of his improvisation.
"Then I, the person who creates opportunities for you, boss, look at it, should you show something." Kamikaze narrowed his eyes and stared at the boss, showing that he would never give up until he showed his attitude.
"Okay, okay, I, I'll give you a 20% discount." The boss was obviously intimidated by his momentum. But Kamikaze Daichi was still not satisfied.
"20% off, only 20% off."
"Then, then, what do you want?" The boss couldn't speak coherently, and was completely overwhelmed by Kamikaze Daoichi's momentum.
"Thank you, boss. The boss is so generous today. He actually gave us a 40% discount." Mom was so happy that she couldn't keep her eyes open while holding the two pairs of sneakers in her hand.
On the other hand, the shoe store owner looked at the two pairs of sneakers pitifully, as if someone was cutting his own flesh with a knife. He was in great pain and was sweating profusely.
"Xiao Feng, this boss is so generous, how about we come again next time." The mother tasted the sweetness and suggested not to miss it next time.
"I have no objection." Kamikaze Dao Yi didn't care.
"I have an objection." The boss was already lying on the floor, struggling to breathe. "Please don't come here again."
"what happened to him."
Seeing that my mother wanted to continue talking, Kamikaze immediately dragged her away. I'm afraid the boss would be dead if he stayed for a while longer.
