Where to start? I think we have to start from the childhood of the male protagonist anyway. As a child, Yang Zhenxing was definitely a smart and cute boy in the eyes of his teachers and parents. In addition to studying well, he also played table tennis well. At the age of 10, he
He has already won the table tennis championship among his classmates in the city, and his academic performance has always been among the best. Maybe all of this has nothing to do with basketball, but changes often happen in an instant...
One afternoon eight years ago, perhaps this afternoon was just an ordinary day for most people, but for the stars, it was an extremely extraordinary day because this afternoon...
Maybe I forgot, maybe I can't find any words to describe the surrounding environment that afternoon, but those are no longer important, because as long as you are in a good mood, everything is fine and there is no need to exaggerate the atmosphere.
In the courtyard of the rural brigade, many children were playing basketball on the basketball court and were having a great time. However, the timid classmate Xingxing was watching from the side. He didn’t like basketball because he was afraid that it would hit his head.
"Xingxing, come play ball," Liu Xiaowei, who was a head taller than Xingxing and weighed twice as much as him, shouted loudly at Xingxing.
"If I don't fight, I won't," Xingxing said
"No, it doesn't matter, we will teach you."
"If you don't play, you will be afraid of watching the ball."
"Wimp"
"I'm not a loser." He was obviously so strong that he was aroused by Xiaowei.
"If you're not a coward, come here and beat me."
"I'll hit you, I'm afraid of you."
Just like that, he came on the field. The 10-year-old Xingxing walked onto the court for the first time. In fact, he was still afraid. He didn't dare to grab the ball or catch the ball. Xiaowei passed the ball to Xingxing with almost a commanding tone and said, "
There was some hesitation in voting for the stars, but he still voted. As expected, he didn't make it, but the other classmates still encouraged him.
Xingxing smiled honestly, his face was full of innocence, and his big clear eyes were like crystals. Perhaps from that moment on, he gradually felt that basketball was quite interesting. His teammates were constantly encouraging him, which made him confident.
By the way, he discovered that basketball is not terrible, and it no longer hurts much after playing it.
Just like that, Xingxing started playing basketball. It’s so simple to say that some people may even think it’s ridiculous, but the fact is that falling in love with a sport like this often only takes a moment. You will never feel the fun of basketball if you don’t step on the court.
This is how change happens when you actually step onto the court. And the key word for all this is: Basketball, here I come
And if I don’t tell you what happens next, everyone will know it, which is the eight-year journey of basketball, the process of growing from an obedient child who dared not touch the ball to a comprehensive basketball master. In this process, I became close to a person.
The inseparable thing is Liu Xiaowei, the guide on Xingxing’s basketball road and his brother who has been playing basketball with him for 8 years.
In the blink of an eye, 8 years have passed. Yang Zhenxing has grown to 185cm and 78kg, while Liu Xiaowei is taller and stronger than Yang Zhenxing at 196cm and 103kg. June 25th is an extraordinary day for all high school seniors across the country, because
Today is the day when the results of the college entrance examination are released. On this day, how many people laughed and how many people cried. Yang Zhenxing scored 588, which is enough to pass the first book, but Liu Xiaowei only scored 499. It seems that he can only pass the second book at most. A few days ago
, they also discussed enrolling in a school, but now, they were unable to do so. Yang Zhenxing and Liu Xiaowei, the once inseparable brothers, had to part ways.
In the end, Yang Zhenxing was admitted to a university as expected, but Xiaowei was still undecided about his future. His parents wanted to send him abroad, but he was unwilling.
One afternoon, as usual, two people appeared on the basketball court at the same time. There were many people on the court. The two of them played together for a while. After a while, everyone else left and only these two were left.
Personal
On the basketball court, they sat on the floor and talked for a long time.
"Have you thought about where to go?" Xingxing asked, "I don't know. My parents asked me to go abroad, but I don't want to." Xiaowei replied, "Why?"
"How do you live outside where you are unfamiliar with life?"
"What are you afraid of? A person of this age is afraid of being abducted. Don't you live in the school?"
"ah"
"What are you afraid of?"
"I don't know, maybe I can't bear to leave you."
"Go away, don't say that, I don't need you"
“What do you think, should I go abroad?”
"Of course, your family is organized, and the conditions in the United States are much better than this. Besides, you can also play basketball with people of a higher level, and maybe you can enter the NBA, haha."
"But I still don't want to go"
"Coward" Xingxing scolded him, "I'm not a coward." Xiaowei responded confidently, "If you're not a coward, why don't you go?" "I don't want to go, I have other things to do in China."
"Nonsense, he is so timid, how can he become such a big deal?"
"I can't explain it to you" "I won't let you know"
"Stop talking, it's a one-on-one challenge, kid." Xiaowei held the basketball and said to the stars, "Okay, I'm afraid of you." "Okay, not afraid, can you fucking beat me?" Xiaowei's tone was still arrogant, "That's it."
Win you for the first time" Stars never show weakness
"Say yes, 11 balls" "No problem, come on, you start"
In this way, the final showdown between the two took place.
Xiaowei took the lead in attacking with the ball. He still used his usual tactics and took advantage of his physical strength. For the first ball, he used a back-up singles method. He used his strong body to lean on the star, and then suddenly turned his back.
The strong play was successful at 1:0. "Not bad, come again." Xingxing said to Xiaowei as soon as his voice fell. Xiaowei dribbled and hit a pull-up jumper at 2:0. "Awesome, when did you learn to jump?" "I just learned it, let's do another one."
Scored another 3:0
"Damn it again, keep going." This time Xiaowei dribbled the ball from the outside. The Xingxing was very tight. Xiaowei tried to change direction to pass. The Xingxing judged in advance and accurately cut off Xiaowei's ball. Before Xiaowei could react, he made a pass.
He made a breakthrough layup and scored 3:1. "What a shame, you're not ready yet." Xiaowei complained, "Go away, when you're ready, it'll be dark." "Come again."
Xingxing held the ball from the outside, accelerated to the inside, and suddenly stepped back, staggering Xiaowei. Xingxing was almost unguarded, and made a steady hit from the mid-range. "Holy shit, you almost knocked me down." 2:3 The next one
The ball, Xingxing broke through Xiaowei and made a layup. "Ah" Xingxing shouted, the ball hit the front edge and missed.
The score is still 2:3
Next, he scored two goals in a back-up single at 2:5. "They only know how to rely on their bodies and have no technical content."
"I have no skills? Hit one." Xiaowei took the ball and pretended to shoot to deceive Xingxing and went straight to the basket. Xingxing quickly followed up and prepared to block the shot. Xiaowei did not stop at the basket, but swayed left and right, using his footsteps and
Feint, trick the stars into taking off, and force them to score "2+1" and "OK, there are two moves"
"Bullshit, you're still a rookie compared to me" "Damn, bullshit"
Xiaowei tried a 3-point shot from outside, but it didn't go in. Xingxing finally got the ball. Xingxing used his speed, changed direction and passed Xiaowei in 3 steps and succeeded in a layup at 3:5. Then he used a pull-up jump shot to score two goals. Xingxing's touch came.
, it’s not easy to handle. As expected, he scored another mid-range shot at 5:6.
"Haha, let's feel it." Xingxing held the ball with his back and leaned against Xiaowei. He suddenly accelerated into the penalty area and scored 5:7 with a throw. Xingxing had already scored 5 goals in a row. Xiaowei seemed to be beyond his capabilities.
Yeah, his speed can't keep up with the stars
"It's gone? Withered? Can't run anymore?"
"Damn, that's nonsense, let's continue." "Here it comes." Xingxing made another mid-range jumper, but this time he missed it. After several consecutive rounds, the score came to a 9-9 tie. The duel between the two became more and more anxious. Now
It's Xingxing who holds the ball, pretends to break through, opens up the space, pulls up and shoots jumpers, and pops out of the frame.
Xiaowei took the ball again and used the most confident post-up singles. He attacked the opponent, squeezed Xingxing away, and succeeded in a layup. "Ah" Xingxing yelled and stomped his feet in anger. Xiaowei took the ball and broke through. Xingxing's hands are so fast. He escaped.
The ball fell from Xiaowei's hand, and he still took advantage of his unpreparedness to accelerate to the basket and succeed in a layup. At 10:10, the winning ball arrived. Xingxing wanted to take the ball directly, but Xiaowei disagreed and directly hit the ball with a big shot.
Xiaowei changed the direction of the ball and made a layup. Xingxing followed up very quickly. The score was still 10:10. The defense on the court was very fierce. For several consecutive rounds, neither of them scored. Xingxing took the ball and continued.
Dribbling under the crotch to change direction, another sudden stop was about to make a jump shot. Xiaowei pounced in time. Xingxing could only lean back, increase the arc, hit the board, and actually scored. This goal was a bit unbelievable. Xiaowei had already
The defense was in place. He couldn't have defended better, but he still scored.
"How about it, I lost"
"It's unclear, it doesn't count"
"What doesn't count? I just got in, so how can I be considered fooled?"
"Haha, you won. It's not easy for you."
"Come on, I'll torture you so easy" "Stop bragging, let's go home" Xiaowei put on his coat and wanted to go home
"Oh, walk slowly." Xingxing obviously didn't pay much attention to it. This might be the last time they play ball.
I didn’t dare, I just didn’t want to face those sad farewells. Looking at the stars leaving, I finally couldn’t help but shed tears.
Just that night, Yang Zhenxing received an email from Xiaowei
Xingxing: I have decided to go abroad. In fact, I have already decided. But I don’t know why I can’t bear to tell you directly. We grew up together and lived together for 18 years. We played together for eight years. We struggled together in high school.
It has been 3 years. It can be said that we have lived together for such a long time, but now we are separated, and we will never even see each other again. Maybe this is destined. Some things, you know, I
I won’t say too much nonsense that I can’t decide. I won’t say anything provocative. Thank you for your companionship over the years. I cry goodbye to your brother Liu Xiaowei. Xingxing, he is your brother and your guide on the road to basketball. You
The best playmate in childhood is leaving you now. It is not a sin for a man to cry. After crying, he can go to meet a new life.
Liu Xiaowei left, and Yang Zhenxing also went to the beginning of the university. He went to work and went to work. The stadium no longer had the hustle and bustle of the past. It became deathly silent. The iron-made stadium, the flowing players, the dilapidated stadium was like a patron saint, carrying
The dream of children has sent away batch after batch of children who love basketball. Now, things have changed and people have changed...
