2015 was a relatively normal year. Compared with the twists and turns of 2008, it was actually a bit calm, even dull.
It was a day in early summer in June, and there was a "bang bang bang bang" sound coming from the cement basketball court.
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes slow, sometimes urgent.
"Hey, Tang Qian, Tang Qian, let me tell you some good news, let me tell you some good news!"
A "tenor" voice came from the distance.
"It's Lu Yang? What's wrong? What's the matter?" The sound of basketball in the cement court stopped.
"I knew you were here." The visitor was a tall boy, about 1.9 meters tall, with a medium build and a bright smile on his face.
"Come on, guess what the news is?" Lu Yang said with a smile.
"You want to talk or not." Tang Qian glanced at him and continued to play the basketball.
"Hey, hey, why are you like this? You're so boring. Forget it, let me tell you, Kobe has announced his comeback and will participate in the opening game."
"Really?" Tang Qian's face finally showed a trace of fluctuation, and he murmured: "Finally, finally are you back again?"
A smile suddenly appeared on Tang Qian's face and he said, "I'm in a good mood today. Practice two moves with me."
"Haha, just practice, no one is afraid of whom. I, Lu Yang, am also on the school team after all. I can deal with you with just one hand!" Lu Yang responded loudly.
After a fierce battle, the two sat on the floor, sweat still dripping down their young faces.
"It's great, it's great. If I didn't have the height advantage, it would be really difficult to beat a guy like you." Lu Yang said carelessly.
"But Tang Qian, your academic performance is so good, why do you like to play basketball? I see that among the nerds in the school, almost none of them are active. They all look like 'sirs'."
"I don't know, it's just because I like it." Tang Qian's eyes flickered twice and he said insincerely.
"Hey, buddy, to be honest, don't be angry. Although you can shoot accurately, you are too short and you are really at a disadvantage when playing basketball. If you want to successfully complete the same action, it will be several times more difficult than ordinary people.
And it’s always thankless.”
"Well, I know." Tang Qian caressed the basketball track nonchalantly.
In fact, why didn't he know what Lu Yang said? It's just height and natural factors that take up too much. If he wants to change, it is undoubtedly a fantasy and impossible.
Maybe in this life, I can only love you like this.
Tang Qian looked at the basketball in his hand and said silently.
Three months later, Tang Qian died due to a heart attack and failed treatment.
……………………
Where am I? My head feels dizzy and my eyelids feel so heavy.
I don't know how long it took, but when Tang Qian opened his eyes again, he found that he was back in the cheap little room in the university. Everything was as before, nothing had happened.
Apart from……
Wait? What are the furnishings in this room? Tang Qian suddenly struggled up from the bed, then pulled out the calendar with force, staring at it intently.
Sure enough, today is the year 2008.
So this place is not a cheap rental house in the university, but...
My own home???
Did he travel through time?
But...so what?
Tang Qian looked at himself in the mirror with wan interest. Everything was the same as before, his height of just over 1.65 meters, his thin body, and except for his more childish face, nothing seemed to have changed.
He is still him.
An ordinary Tang Qian.
Looking at himself in the mirror, he suddenly gave a bitter smile and said: "I have traveled through time, are you asking me to come back and waste time?"
"If this is the case, what's the point of everything?"
"I still can't play basketball."
"I still can't play the basketball I love!"
"In this case, what's the point???"
On this day, Tang Qianqian saw in the news that the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Boston Celtics with a total score of 2 to 4, losing the fifteenth championship in team history.
The two-month summer vacation passed by in a flash. Tang Qian's family was an ordinary person, and his parents were both lower-class salary earners. However, he still squeezed into Y City's key high school, Chengnan High School, with excellent results.
September 1, 2008, was the first day of school at Chengnan High School. On this day, the old students returned to the classroom full of energy after relaxing during the summer vacation. The freshmen from Chengnan also whispered to each other and entered timidly.
High school is full of desire and curiosity for students who have just emerged from the ignorance of junior high school.
Young and brilliant, passionate and passionate.
On this day, Chengnan High School welcomed a special person.
He is Tang Qian.
"How can I get to the school basketball court?"
"Ah? Well, our school has two large outdoor basketball courts and one indoor basketball court. The outdoor basketball court is in the northeast and the indoor basketball court is two hundred meters away in the west corner." The person who answered Tang Qian's words was a pretty girl.
He was wearing a ponytail, cloth shoes and a long skirt, and looked very innocent. However, Tang Qian didn't even look at her, and walked away after hearing this.
"Well... our school's indoor basketball court is generally not open to outsiders. Only the school team can go in for training." Seeing Tang Qian walking towards the west corner of the school, the girl kindly reminded her.
"Oh? Really? Is there such a rule?" Tang Qian stopped and frowned.
"Then it seems we can only go to the outdoor basketball court to practice first."
"Hey, you, wait a minute, look at the notice in your hand. You are a freshman, right? Freshmen have to line up over there to register." The ponytail girl looked up at Tang Qian and said.
"I know, but there are too many people now. I'll come back later. Anyway, it's okay to come earlier or later," Tang Qian said.
"You, what's your name?" The ponytail girl saw that Tang Qian was about to leave again, so she couldn't help blurting out.
Tang Qian frowned and looked at the other person, whispering: "Tang Qian."
"Oh, eh, wait a minute, my name is Zhou Zhiru!"
A week later, the basketball court of Chengnan School.
"Hey, have you heard that a monster came to our school, and all the top players on the field were knocked down by him?"
"It's more than that. I heard that this man is tall and powerful, and he is very fierce compared to Li Kui!"
"Do you think he will come today?"
"I think so. Whenever school is over, he will come and play for an hour."
"Haha, I came here specially today and sacrificed my time to pick up girls online just to see the true face of this monster! Don't let me down!"
"Tch, I will definitely not disappoint you. Even if you only meet someone like him once, you will be deeply impressed."
Ten minutes later, a burly figure appeared on the outdoor basketball court in the south of the city.
As soon as this person appeared, the entire outdoor basketball court's attention was attracted to him.
An hour.
"Look, do you see it? Is it a monster?"
"Holy shit, is this still a human being? Is he really a high school student in our school?"
"Nonsense, I've heard all about it. This guy is a freshman in high school and just came to our school this year."
"That's great. With such a monster here, our school may have hope for this year's basketball competition. Otherwise, it would be tortured by other schools every year. It would be too horrible to watch."
……………………
"Classmate Tang Qian, I am the school team coach in Chengnan. I solemnly invite you to join our school team and bring glory to our school."
…
"Oh, what? No, no, no! Tang Qian is a smart kid with top-notch grades. He will definitely be a candidate for a key university in the future. How can we let him play basketball? Isn't that a waste of resources? Absolutely not! I don't agree!"
"Oh, Teacher Chen, I also know Xiao Tang's results. He ranked third in the city in the middle school examination. But it is precisely because of this that he needs to develop all-round morally, intellectually, and physically. Teacher Chen, it's not that I don't understand what you mean.
It’s just that the purpose of our school is not to cultivate nerds and develop them in an all-round way, but to be responsible for students!”
"Director, I..."
"Okay, okay, Teacher Chen, this matter is settled. If Tang Qian joins the school team, if his grades really decline significantly, it won't be too late to discuss it. Okay, okay, I have something else on hand here.
, Teacher Chen, just please help yourself."
…
In the following three years, the Chengnan Middle School National Basketball League ranked first every time and never failed.
Tang Qian, the devil in the south of the city, has gradually become a famous name in Y City and even in the country.
…
On the eve of the college entrance examination, Zhou Zhiru, who had been promoted to a freshman, stood quietly outside the gate of Chengnan High School, looking inside from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.
"Hey, look, look, is that Zhou Zhiru, one of Chengnan's former school beauties?"
"Wow, it's really her. After this year of college, she seems to have become more beautiful in several dimensions. Look at those thighs, look at that..."
"Okay, you wretched dead monkey, don't you know whose woman she is?"
"Uh... Okay, okay, since it's Brother Tang's horse, then I can only reluctantly part ways with him, alas!"
"Hey, sister Yaya, look out, the rightful owner is here."
"Oh, I wish I were Tang Qian."
"Just you? It's useless to go back and indulge in adultery for five hundred years!"
Chengnan High School, outside the gate.
"Huh? Why are you here?" Tang Qian frowned slightly when he saw Zhou Zhiru waving to him.
"What? Can't I come? Big star!" Zhou Zhiru said slightly dissatisfied after hearing Tang Qian's words.
"No, it's just that you come too much and gossip a lot, which is not good for you." Tang Qian said.
"What's not good for me? I think it's not good for you? Is it hindering your popularity as a woman in school?" Zhou Zhiru said.
"That's not true." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he said, "Forget it, just do whatever you like."
"Hey, how come you haven't changed at all in three years? You still look like a cold wooden person!" Zhou Zhiru said angrily when she saw Tang Qian was about to leave.
"What? Are you okay? If nothing happens, I have to go home and do strength training."
"You... Humph! It's really frustrating to be angry with you! Forget it, I'm here to ask you about your college aspirations." Zhou Zhiru looked at Tang Qian and said.
"The college entrance examination is not over yet. How do I know how many points I can get and what school I can go to?" Tang Qian said in anger.
"Hmph, who in Chengnan High School doesn't know what you are capable of, Tang Qian? With your grades, you are not allowed to choose among the top schools in the country? Why are you pretending to be with me!" Zhou Zhiru wrinkled her little nose and said: "Hey, seriously,
Where are you going? Is it still the school you told me about last time?"
"Well, still." Tang Qian nodded.
After hearing Tang Qian's answer, Zhou Zhiru breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good. Don't go home tonight. I'll treat you to a big dinner."
"That won't work. My mother must have prepared the meal. It will be wasted if I don't go back."
"Hey, you! Forget it, if you don't tell me, I'll call Auntie myself!"
"you……"
"La la la, who told you not to have a mobile phone, hahaha!"
Zhou Zhiru said with a proud smile.
The national unified examination will be held on June 7th and 8th, 2011.
"Hey, son, please eat slowly, it's still early!" said a middle-aged woman in an apron.
"Mom, I'm going to do strength training after eating, and I'm running out of time." Tang Qian mumbled while stuffing food into his mouth.
"You kid, what day is it today? Are you still doing strength training? Can't you just relax for a day?" the middle-aged woman pursed her lips.
"Mom, strength training must be done every day, otherwise the effect will be poor." Tang Qian continued to enjoy his meal.
"Practice, practice, practice, you know how to practice, you are already like a little calf and you still have to practice. I really don't know how to make you satisfied." Tang Mu hummed.
But all said and done, she is still very supportive of her son's investment in this area.
After all, in her opinion, there is nothing wrong with playing basketball to help you grow taller and exercise your body. Besides, although her son has invested a lot of time in basketball in the past three years, his grades have not dropped. In this case, she really
There is no reason to object.
Besides, doesn’t the room full of trophies and medals mean that his son is still playing basketball well?
At the end of June, the college entrance examination results were released, and Tang Qian got his wish and was admitted to Xiangcheng University in T city.
Xiangcheng University, established after the founding of New China, is a strong participant in the Cuba College Basketball League every year. Why is it said to be a strong participant? Because although the basketball enthusiasm and enthusiasm of this school are good, it is a comprehensive cultural category.
The school's sports foundation is a bit poor, but in recent years, through special recruitment and other means, the basketball team of Xiangcheng University has improved, and it has also shown a steady upward trend in the Cuba League.
Of course, Tang Qian chose this school not for the above reasons.
First,
It’s because Xiangcheng University was his former alma mater.
second,
Here he will meet Lu Yang.
third,
And the most important point is that Tang Qian wants to start over here and get closer to his inner goal step by step.
……………………
"How's it going? Are you used to the new school?" Zhou Zhiru asked, standing next to Tang Qian.
"It's okay." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he looked at the other party and said, "No wonder you asked me if I came to Xiangcheng University. It turns out that you are a student at the nearby University of Science and Technology."
Speaking of this University of Science and Technology, it also has some characteristics, because it seems that no matter which province, there is a school with such a name.
I don't know if it is accidental or inevitable.
Closer to home, Tang Qian had almost no discomfort at Xiangcheng University due to the memory of his previous life, and quickly integrated into the entire campus. Of course, he and Lu Yang naturally became good friends.
"Are you preparing to dominate again today?" Lu Yang was still smiling and optimistic as in his last life.
"Well, the school team selection is coming soon, and I have to maintain my condition." Tang Qian nodded.
"Oh my god, how can you maintain such a state? You are like a fighter among airplanes. Three of them can't suppress you alone!" Lu Yang said exaggeratedly.
"That's because this is a wild field, and everyone is strong in offense and defense in defense, that's why it looks like this." Tang Qian was very sober and was not "confused" by Lu Yang's words at all.
"Hey, you are such a serious person, so boring! Forget it, let's play ball!" Lu Yang picked up a basketball and said.
On September 25, the new gymnasium of Xiangcheng University officially kicked off the selection of the school team.
A middle-aged man with a sporty crew cut looked into the field and said, "Old Liu, how are the seedlings this year?"
A middle-aged man with a beer belly next to him thought for a while and replied: "Okay, not bad. There are many more people participating in the selection than in previous years."
"More? What's the use of having more? A basketball team can only accommodate twelve people at most. For a game, only five people are needed. What's the use of having so many people?" said a middle-aged man with an athletic crew cut.
Neither salty nor bland.
"Here, Mr. Cheng, how can you say that? I think the few over there are pretty good, they are tall and quite handsome."
This person's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the coach surnamed Cheng. He looked at those people and snorted: "Gao? Old Liu, more than 1.8 meters is indeed considered tall among ordinary people, but when it comes to basketball
In the world, you can only be considered a small man, don’t you understand this? And for a basketball player, what’s the use of being pretty, if you’re good-looking and can score, grab rebounds, and block shots?”
The beer-belly man was speechless by the other party, but even if he had resentment, he couldn't show it, otherwise if he angered the man next to him and the principal got angry, he would definitely suffer. Thinking of this, the beer-belly man couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
The last time Coach Lu came, he was so kind and docile. Compared with this guy, he was in the sky.
However, he has done his homework on the name of this new coach. He is the former provincial team coach of Province H and the former assistant coach of the national coaching team. These reputations alone are enough for him to ignore him, not to mention that he is also the principal.
He found it personally, and adding the two together, he would never dare to offend him.
Cheng Jianguo, who was born in 1966, retired from the front line at such a young age because of his philosophy and personality. But he really likes basketball, although he can no longer work for the national team or the provincial team.
, but when he got the chance, he went to university again. This year is his third year of teaching at Xiangcheng University.
Cheng Jianguo looked down upon the beer-bellied man in front of him. He didn't know anything about basketball except for taking a temporary job to make money. Fortunately, the principal told him that he was an old man who had been working here for almost ten years. It was simply
It's funny. But because Liu Dong's family has a good relationship, even if Cheng Jianguo always wanted to change, he couldn't get it.
The relationship between the two relaxed for a moment, and then Liu Dong forced out a smile and said, "I'm not a regular teacher, but there are a few good ones in this year's special enrollment. You can take a look."
"Well, I've seen a few of them. They are in good physical condition, but their time playing basketball is too short. They must have practiced track and field before, right?" Cheng Jianguo said slowly and authentically.
"Yes, yes, Cheng Jiao is Cheng Jiao. Sure enough, he has sharp eyes and can tell the truth with his words." Liu Dong said with a smile.
Cheng Jianguo shook his head slightly. He knew that Liu Dong could not be blamed for this. After all, this is the general trend in China. Most of the special sports recruits came from track and field, but there were few students with real basketball specialties.
And few.
This is the general trend in the country, and he cannot blame others.
Chinese people still believe that reading is the last word.
It is simply unrealistic to imagine basketball talents springing up like bamboo shoots on the other side of the ocean.
Alas, it’s not easy to maintain last year’s ranking just by relying on these people!
