The wheels of the minibus kicked up dust and hit the fenders one by one, which was the heaviest feeling of frustration.

The journey back to Chishui Town seemed long, I can't remember exactly how long, but it always felt like it was longer than every street the minibus drove through combined.

The hot sun shone on the glass window of the minibus, falling to the ground through all obstacles, obviously setting off all the haze, but now the sunset has exhausted the breath can only drive the smell of dust in the carriage, and the scattered dirt particles into the lungs down the nasal cavity, making people breathless.

Maybe it's an illusion, I always feel that the back of the coach sitting in the front is getting longer and longer under the pull of the sunset.

The shadow is like a dark ring, which swallows up too many years, time, when everything settles, and turns all the good memories into the purest swar.

"Coach?" I don't remember who was in the carriage, maybe it was me or maybe it wasn't me.

Shao Bin, who was at the front, did not look back, but stared ahead, staring at the last light outside the windshield.

I didn't speak, and I didn't respond.

In the end, everyone in the carriage closed their mouths, probably because of our lifeless atmosphere, and the driver became silent.

When I first got on the bus, I also said that I congratulated Chishui Middle School for becoming the second place in this basketball game, and later, I gradually didn't say a word.

We jerked all the way back to Pond Town, and when the last rays of sunlight fell on Pond Town, the minibus finally stopped shaking like a spell.

The team members of Chishui Middle School got off the bus back and forth, and Shao Bin was obviously at the front of the minibus, but he was the last to get off.

"Coach, I'm sorry. Feng Yuan gritted his teeth, knowing that most of the reasons for the failure of this competition were because of himself.

Shao Bin waved his hand, his mouth, which had not been open since the end of the game, moved, and said the first sentence in a long time: "I have said a long time ago, a team, a person, in what will really fail?"

"Is it losing a basketball game?"

"Is it when the final exam results are in shambles?"

"It's when a person really thinks he's lost!"

"I'm very disappointed in you, I'm even more disappointed in your dreams, three months of hard work, in exchange for a sentence I lost?"

Shao Bin's voice was very heavy, and every word he said was like stabbing his heart with a knife.

At this time, Shao Bin really wanted to ask, his answer has been found, then, what about your answer?

"Coach, then we will have it tomorrow?" Su Bin asked tentatively, in fact, this answer had already been set in his heart.

Shao Bin pursed his lips: "When I came to Chishui Middle School before, my task was to bring a basketball team to the finals, and now my task has been completed, as for how you will develop in the future, it will all depend on you." ”

Shao Bin smiled: "If you still like basketball, you can play basketball more, even if it's not for the game, it's for exercise." ”

Dr. Lin was standing behind Shao Bin, and at this time, he bit his lip with his teeth, and he could completely feel Shao Bin's bitter feeling.

It's like being poured on the cracked earth with tea that has been soaked for half a month, but all that shrinks is pain.

"As for the children in the third year of high school, I wish you a good score in the college entrance examination. After speaking, Shao Bin waved his hand, turned around and left the gate of Chishui Middle School.

His steps were very heavy, and when the soles of his feet touched the ground, he walked very comprehensively, and every step he took on the ground resolutely pushed Shao Bin forward!

Feng Yuan looked at the back that was gradually clumped, and called out bitterly: "Coach!"

Shao Bin didn't look back, and the rest of the basketball team, the players didn't go up to chase after him.

But he didn't disperse, but stood in place and waited quietly for Shao Bin's figure to disappear from sight, and then he let out a long sigh, looking at the small box in Liu Ziming's hand at this time, he was full of disgust.

Is that the honor of the runner-up? No, it's not an honor for them at all, it's because of arrogance and missing out on the championship.

Time is like fine sand in the palm of your hand, and what you missed has no time to recall, and the new test has been pressed on us like Mount Tai lowering.

When we came back to our senses, the words "hard work" had been written on the lower right corner of the blackboard in the classroom, and the countdown to the college entrance examination was like a magic spell, wrapped around our hearts.

At the same time, the senior year students also ushered in one of the most important turning points in their lives.

The college entrance examination is coming, and the light rain for several days has calmed the impetuous hearts of all the candidates.

The junior high school students went to the county seat for a long time, but the mood of Zhou Wen and other senior high school students of the basketball team was undoubtedly complicated, like a tangled paste, and once again walked on the rubber field of the county No. 1 Middle School.

But he didn't dare to look at the familiar basketball hoop on the playground, or even take a deep breath, for fear that the negative emotions on the basketball court would permeate his heart again.

This life change completely washed away our basketball team.

Li Qiang, Xue Fei, Zhao Jianguo, these familiar names have never appeared in my life since then.

It is said that Zhou Wen did well in the exam, and went to a 211 in Xi'an, Shaanxi Normal University, to study education. Later, when we became a teacher, when we met later, they would happily tell us about the origin of the chain of contempt.

And Liu Ziming, after curing the leg injury, was successfully admitted to a sports academy, and later heard that he joined the basketball team and became a guard for four years.

Su Bin is also gone, life is like this, Su Bin seems to be Liu Ziming's small root class, but the family has some money, and later went to Beijing and went to university!

I guess I was afraid of sadness, and when I left, I didn't say goodbye to us, and one by one we embarked on a new journey in our lives under the escort of our parents' big bags.

It is said that his father earned some money in the city, and not only returned the money he borrowed from Shao Bin to Shao Bin, but also took Jiang Chu and his sister to live in the city together.

At that time, parting was like a whirlwind, constantly taking familiar faces away from us.

As for the coach, Liu Ziming went to see him, and the basketball training base in the town next door became more and more popular, perhaps because he got the runner-up in the basketball game, so that the somewhat dilapidated basketball training base was also in an endless stream.

And we are overwhelmed by the increasing weight of our studies.

In the alternating seasons of autumn and winter, no one mentioned basketball again.

The days went by like this, until one day, a flyer about the basketball game was passed to Chishui Middle School again.

Our gears, which had been stopped for a long time, were turning again.

The twilight at the end of autumn is always the easiest time to look back, and when we saw the competition notice on the school bulletin board that afternoon, we couldn't help but think of the story of the youth who worked hard between spring and summer.

Feng Yuan snuffed out the cigarette at the corner of his mouth without leaving a trace, walked to the front of the notice, stretched out his fingers, and lightly lit the notice, as if he could still feel a trace of warmth on it.

"Ziming!" Feng Yuan choked up and called out the name that made his blood boil, and a biting cool breeze blew behind him, making Feng Yuan can't help but wrap his coat tightly.

Although it had been a full summer since that game, to this day, whenever Feng Yuan thinks of that game, he thinks of that person.

And whenever Feng Yuan thought of that person, his arrogance in that game, and his confidence that was greatly collapsed would be like a nightmare, wrapped around Feng Yuan's heart, and Feng Yuan, who was suppressed by heavy pressure, was out of breath!

Jiang Chao inhaled the cold air around him into his lungs: "It's time to start a basketball game again." ”

Feng Yuan nodded, and after only six months, it became vicissitudes and calm. At this time, Feng Yuan had a bald head, and it seemed that he had some similarities with Wu Qiong of the basketball team of the county No. 1 Middle School!

"Jiang Chao, do you still want to play basketball?" After being silent for a while, Feng Yuan suddenly asked.

Jiang Chao was silent; "I don't know." ”

"What?" asked. Inexplicably, there is a sense of vicissitudes

Feng Yuan lit another cigarette and took a deep breath: "Jiang Chao, I'm asking if you want to play basketball, you said you don't know what it means, isn't this the answer to the question." ”

Jiang Chao was silent, wrapping his coat tightly in the cold wind.

He paused in place for a long time before asking, "Can we go back?"

Feng Yuan shook his head and said firmly: "I can't go back, the team members have all left, how can I go back." ”

Xu Wuqiang walked over and nodded while rubbing his hands: "Yes, I can't go back." ”

Shen Cong smiled bitterly and the cigarette he took out of his pocket was actually Ziyun, he took out one and lit it: "Yes, it's true that I can't go back." ”

"What has been lost, that is an established fact, the past cannot be changed, we naturally can't go back. "It was Jiang Chao who spoke, he was a liberal arts student, and after half a year of study, the words in his mouth had a little charm.

"But Feng Yuan, if you lose, you lose, we can't always pay attention to what we have lost, the most important thing is to see, after that, what will happen!"

Jiang Chao said this while leaning against the wall of the teaching building and looking up at the sky: "After failure, there is another chance to start from scratch." ”

"Let's try again!" Shen Cong quietly walked behind everyone and said suddenly.

This sentence was like a huge hammer, striking on everyone's hearts, breaking the ice that froze time, and making everyone get that unforgettable heartbeat after a long time.

At this moment, it was as if everyone in the cold wind had returned to that hot day again.

I relive the unforgettable heartbeat I felt at that time.

Feng Yuan looked at his right hand, hesitated for a moment, and put his right hand in the air!

The four of them looked at each other and smiled, followed one by one to Feng Yuan's side, put their palms on Feng Yuan's palms, and the last five palms were put together, as if to let everyone return to that time, the first game, when everyone cheered.

"Hey, let's say something!" Shen Cong smiled after a long absence.

"What did you say?" Feng Yuan asked awkwardly.

Jiang Chao coughed lightly: "Then I'll come." ”

"At this moment, we have nothing to lose, so we have nothing to fear, Chishui Middle School, the basketball team is officially resurrected at this moment, and the flying dragon is resurrected again!"

"Let's start from scratch together!"
