After the competition, we ushered in the biggest turning point in our lives, the college entrance examination.

Just like the wrinkles of the year, Liu Ziming, Su Bin and them, we are facing separation.

I held on to my dream and ended up attending a sports school, and like the news from Liu Ziming, I also became a guard, and then played basketball with the school's basketball team for four years.

And Jiang Chao seems to have entered the mine, and he has become a leader, and he often hears that he and his cousin Luo Gang are playing basketball together.

The coach, on the other hand, stayed in Chishui Town and continued to tinker with his basketball training base.

I once asked my coach why I didn't leave Chishui Town and become a basketball coach in a better place now that I had the answers I was looking for.

The coach at that time said to me, "The kids here need him more!"

The gears of the years are slowly being pushed up day by day,

Time is like flowing water in the palm of your hand, and like sand and stones in the desert, whether you hold it tightly or bounce away, it will always disappear without a trace in the inadvertent.

We are pushed forward step by step by time.

By the time he came back to his senses, it was already the time of time, and it passed by his fingertips like a white horse.

The days of running on the basketball court back then, those sweats have also become the most beautiful notes, and the duration echoes in my mind!

That.

I stood on the streets of Chishui Town for the first time in a long time, and took a deep breath of the cold air around me, and the smell of barbecue in the streets had disappeared.

Instead, smartphones are on the streets, and people chatting grow their mouths and laugh very fakely.

The heart of this age is called emptiness.

I stood on the street that I had not seen for a long time, stepping on the road that had just rained, letting the sewage on the ground irrigate my leather shoes, feeling the passing years, and the traces of youth that emerged.

In ten years, Sun Qiang has made the store bigger and bigger, and he has worked hard for two glass doors all his life, and now he has built a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Shen Cong!" The voice was a little hoarse and low.

I looked back and saw that I was bald, dressed in a fur coat. Maybe he was a little fat, and a pair of leather shoes made a creaking sound when he stepped on the ground.

He looked at me from afar and was just smiling, as if to give me a moment to recognize him!

"Feng Yuan?" I recognized who this person was, Feng Yuan, the big forward for the coming year. Later, I went into business, and it is said that I was socializing every day, and this figure also went out of shape with the years.

Feng Yuan smiled and patted me on the shoulder: "Haha, you kid hasn't changed, it's still the same as ten years ago, so energetic." ”

Feng Yuan said as he took my hand and walked into the shop of sauce elbows, and the receptionist standing next to the shining glass door smiled at us and opened it very politely.

"202 private room, Mr. Su's friend!" I clicked on my Huawei phone and flipped out the WeChat that Su Bin sent me.

The receptionist smiled and said, "Please come with me!" while leading the way in front of us.

Ten years ago, I really didn't expect that Sun Qiang's sauce elbow would become such a magnificent place, and it was really uncomfortable to step on the carpet.

There's always a sense that you don't belong here. The heaviness on my right leg irritates my brain all the time!

Private room 202 is located not far from the second floor. The reception opened the door very politely, and the familiar faces inside hooked up the memories of my youth.

"Shen Cong!" the man in the suit stood up, raised the red wine in his hand and smiled at me.

I looked the man up and down, paused, and then recognized him: "Are you Su Bin?"

Su Bin nodded, and carried the wine glass to my face, I didn't find that Su Bin was so handsome when I played basketball before, but now it seems that it really makes people smack their tongues, people want clothes, and Buddha wants gold.

"It's been a long time since we've seen each other, how are you doing?" I pursed my lips and asked Su Bin.

Su Bin smiled: "Make do, I got a wedding company with a friend, and now I am working part-time as a master of ceremonies." ”

I nodded, and then my eyes fell on Liu Ziming's body, Liu Ziming at this time, with these eyes, dressed very formally, I really can't see that Liu Ziming will be one of the seven heroes of the Nine Roads back then.

"Ziming!" I called.

"Hehe, long time no see!" Liu Ziming stood up politely, walked in front of me and shook my hand: "I heard that you are still playing basketball some time ago, how are you doing?"

I touched my nose embarrassedly: "When is this old yellow calendar, what team has been to before that is bigger than basketball or something, but unfortunately later." ”

As I spoke, I patted my right leg: "Later, there was a car accident, and this leg became a little disobedient, and I had no choice but to give up my basketball dream." ”

Feng Yuan frowned: "Car accident, Shen Cong, why have you never heard of it?"

I smiled bitterly: "After all, it's not a glorious thing, there is no need to publicize it so that everyone knows about it." ”

"But Liu Ziming, I really couldn't guess back then. You can be a PE teacher!" I pulled away from the subject, trying to make my atmosphere less awkward.

talked about Liu Ziming, and the topic of many people opened, and sat at the big round table while talking and laughing, and talking about his current situation.

Xu Wuqiang stretched out the wine glass in his hand in front of me and clinked glasses with me: "Then what are you going to do after that?"

I took a sip of the red wine in the glass: "I'm quite confused, but then I remembered about our affairs, and I thought about writing this story into an online novel, and I have recently started to write." ”

Feng Yuan glanced at this side uncertainly: "I'll go, Shen Cong, aren't you, when did you have this talent?"

"Being idle is idle, so simply, find something to do for yourself, in fact, it's just writing and playing!"

Zhou Wen sat in the corner, wearing a black suit with a picture of dark black eyes, I heard for a while that Zhou Wen studied education and wanted to be a teacher in the future, but he finally got the development of the Education Bureau.

"Shen Cong, if you encounter any difficulties, come to me at any time!" Zhou Wen nodded at me.

I smiled. didn't catch Zhou Wen's words, just urged the topic to continue!

The topic of the rally continued.

We talked about the fact that we couldn't stand the intensity of Shao Bin's training at that time, and put thirteen locks on Shao Bin's bicycle.

remembered that at that time, Su Bin used a month's pocket money to buy a lock, and then the lock that was easy to buy became a pack of cigarettes, and the big goods laughed.

Speaking of Liu Ziming's inspirational and passionate story on the field, everyone is saying that Liu Ziming was a real man back then, and in the end, his ankles were already swollen like that, and he gritted his teeth and persevered!

To be honest, I was able to get out of basketball training, and most of the credit goes to Liu Ziming.

As he spoke, he finally talked about the game.

The final of the coming year, Chishui Middle School, against the final of the county No. 1 middle school.

Liu Ziming put down the wine glass in his hand: "I also heard about the game in your second year, the second year of the county No. 1 middle school is not easy to deal with!"

Feng Yuan scratched his head: "It's all old, to be honest, I don't remember much about what happened at that time, I can only vaguely remember a little bit of fragmented things." ”

Feng Yuan said as he looked at me again: "Why don't you let this person who wants to write a story talk about it." ”

I smiled awkwardly and waved my hand: "Don't scold me, everyone eat, eat." ”

"Hey, Shen Cong, let's talk about it, it's really a pity that I left the year before, now that I think about it, what I said to you at that time was a bit excessive!" Su Bin sighed, thinking about it now, it was really an immature move.

I nodded, pondering for a moment, "Remember that tactic back then." Because we can't break through, the inside line of the county No. 1 middle school, the coach designed a long pass for us. Three-point tactics!"

Liu Ziming nodded: "I know, I remember." ”

"In the next year's game, we have enough time to train the basketball tactics, and in the game with the county No. 1 Middle School, we insist on playing inside, and use the foundation they are most proud of to defeat them!" Feng Yuan unconsciously raised his mind when he spoke.

There was a deep pride in his eyes.

"I remember that Chen Fei told us at that time to cover up. Feng Yuan touched his chin and said.

Liu Ziming asked with some curiosity: "What?"

"Dreams need to stand up and guard!"

……

"By the way, after that, did any of you see the coach again?" I couldn't help but ask, a whole decade has passed, and the man who changed my life back then seems to have disappeared from the world out of thin air, and there is no longer any news.

Zhou Wen sighed: "I've heard a little rumor about the coach. ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately became interested: "Where did the coach go later, I heard that after we left, the coach has been training too many people in the basketball training base in the town next door, and there are people who can beat the basketball down!"

It is said that at that time, the coach had a chance to go to the county No. 1 middle school as a coach, but in the end, he gave up the opportunity to go to the county No. 1 middle school to be a basketball coach. ”

However, he resolutely chose to stay here and continue to entrust his dreams to the next generation! ”

"He said that the people here need him more than the coach in the county!"

frowned and continued to ask: "In the first two years of township development, the coach's basketball training base should have been demolished, so where is the coach now?"

Zhou Wen pointed in the direction of the county seat: "In the county seat, in a new training base!"

In the dark, we seemed to see a brightly lit training base.

A coach with a dog on his back smiling at the group of kids with basketball dreams in front of him.

"Children, the most important thing in basketball is the foundation!"

"Let's make 100,000 shots together!"

The sunset fell on Shao Bin's face, shining a smile on the corner of Shao Bin's mouth.

That smile carries too much, too many stories about dreams......
