The author's path to basketball

The reason why I like basketball is actually the same as many post-80s basketball lovers, it all started with a comic called "Slam Dunk", the author of this comic has read it about 50 times, it can be said that I have never felt that basketball is so charming, I also believe that many post-80s people who like basketball, enlightenment books are basically this book, and the person who really brought them into the NBA world is called Yao Ming, (the author just said most, not all).

Year 2006.

It can be said that it was the first year that I really paid attention to the NBA, when I was in my second year of junior high school, and there were a lot of stories at that time, Kobe Bryant single-core led the team, and the Suns, who were the ultimate players at the time, were cornered, and Ginobili's regretful move made the Mavericks.

The Mavericks were like a chicken, Link was super strong against the Suns Spurs, carrying the bloody sword of the king to the championship, but in the end they lost to the Heat team led by O'Neal Wade, Wade of the Heat team, became the first player to win the championship in the 03rd superstar, and it was also from that year that Wade's entire style of play has undergone a qualitative transformation.

That year, I can't forget the regret of the driver taking the end of the world.

Although I forgot the name of the first basketball magazine I bought that year, it was the golden generation of players of 03, and the book said that Iverson Kobe Bryant and other players of the older generation were in the twilight, and the new generation of James Wade and Anthony re-emerged, and the newcomers at that time included Stoudemire Howard, and there were Wade, James, Anthony, Paul, Deron Williams, these new generations, the old order is about to pass, and a new era is coming. (Unfortunately, this prediction is not quite correct, the championship from '08 to '11 was won by some players who were about to win the MVP of the Finals, they were Pierce, Kobe, Kobe, Nowitzki).

In 2007

At that time, I was already in my third year of high school, and I was really fascinated by the rockets, I remember going to boarding school at that time, only one day off every month, and there was no time to watch the game at all, and the deputy head of the class had a privilege in the school at that time, that is, the school newspaper would be handed over to him first every day, so at that time, I would wait for our vice president at the door at noon every day, the vice president was a girl, very talkative, whenever she brought the newspaper back, I had to take out the sports section inside as soon as possible and keep it for myself (very selfish, hehe), although the information in the newspaper was not much, but it became the most important spiritual food for the author, and the students did not have smartphones at that timeAt that time, the most precious thing was to spend 10 yuan in the school commissary to buy a pocket radio, every afternoon at 6 o'clock, there will be a very beautiful sister radio broadcast sports news, every time the NBA plate is the last newspaper, but it is also the longest, because the whole school was in physical education class at the time, so I could only secretly cover my ears with high-necked clothes, in case of being seen by the teacher, and then secretly listened to it in the headphones, but I also led a basketball trend, that is, I was the first to find in the school's public telephone room, there are a couple with a very good temper,They installed a very luxurious cable TV at the time,Since discovering this secret,A big class at noon,My friend and I ran there to watch a short game,Although the big class break is only 15 minutes,But as long as you go to catch up with the intermission,It's also very happy to watch it for a while,Later, the whole school found out my secret,The next thing is terrible,The boys in the school ran to the public telephone room as soon as they arrived at the recess,I could have enjoyed the TV with my friends alone,I can only stand on the periphery and listen to the sound。

The second magazine I bought was a special feature about the finals and the big battles, which explained the details of each game throughout, as well as O'Neal's self-statement that he claimed to be a big diesel engine, this magazine and the one I bought before are my treasures, and someone in the class will read it, and I will never let them watch it for more than half a day before they have to come back.

, but in the end I lost it, so my cousin lost it, alas......

The season of 2007, in fact, is really memorable, that year, the Rockets had a very good record, but there is a very big shortcoming, that is, the team that is afraid of having a super point guard, as long as there is a very strong super point guard in a team, the Rockets are going to lose ninety percent, for example, the Spurs (Tony Parker), the Suns (Steve Nash), the Jazz (Deron Williams), The Pistons (Chauncey Billups) also had a Hornets who couldn't make the playoffs at the time, and the Pelicans (Chris Paul).

The Jazz that year was very strong, the Rockets and Jazz fought seven games and finally lost, when the sixth game was played, many experts predicted that the Jazz had a very low chance of winning away games in history, but the Rockets lost the seventh game, and the day the Rockets lost the tie-break, it felt that the whole school was gloomy, that year was a year when the Rockets had a neat lineup, Yao Ming Maddie was in good shape, and neither of them was injured, but they just ran into the Jazz who were also in good shape, and the offense and defense of Oku and Boozer made Yao Ming miserable.

That year, the Mavericks played a record of 67 wins and the first place in the league, and they were originally full of ambition, and the county won the championship lost last year, but was blackened by the old Nelson's warriors, and the driver fell behind an extremely lonely back that year.

That year in the college entrance examination, I finally escaped the painful high school, and at the same time left the girl I had a crush in high school, and went to the blind college period, that year James was extremely brave, and single-handedly killed the Pistons Five Tigers, and reached the finals for the first time, that year the author simply walked into the college campus, James left the arena with 0:4 loneliness, and that year the 21st said that many people didn't believe in that game, but finally realized the famous words: The future is yours!

2008 season

While the Green Army won the last place in 2007, in 2008, it formed a triumvirate lineup of Ray Allen, Garnett, and Pierce in the Shock League, and the combination of the three made the Celtics, who were originally the tail of the crane, become the strongest team in the league.

This year, the Lakers' Bynum grew rapidly, under the leadership of Kobe Bryant and Odom, the Lakers also became the leader of the Western Conference, in the middle of the season, the Lakers used Kwame Brown and the first-round pick, and got the Grizzlies' star Gasol, and became a superpower that can compete with the Celtics' big three, and the head coach of the Spurs, Popovich, was furious and accused the Lakers of robbery! Popovich's anger is not without reason, because since then, the Spurs have not been out of the West for many years, and it was still the year of Ginobili and Pat, and without this deal, I believe that there is a good chance that the Spurs name will appear again in the Finals of those years.

When I was ready to go to college, I realized the first lesson life taught me, I went to college in the south, after getting off the train station that night, my father and I stayed in the square in front of the train station for a night, this night alone, changed the world view of many authors, there were a lot of people in that place to eat, thieves were rampant, people ran around to sleep in the square, became the prey of thieves, and the patrolling policemen slept in the air-conditioned car for a whole night, never came out once, and when it was dawn, the police car drove away leisurely, leaving no clouds, at that moment I realized the difficulty of being a man, especially to be an honest person who does his duty.

To tell the truth, there is a lot of discrimination against locals in that place, and the seniors in the school are very good, but the teachers discriminate against outsiders. If you make the slightest mistake, you will criticize everyone in your area, the teacher doesn't like the student who is honest in class, but likes to skip class, but always sends her things.

In such an environment, my life has become aimless, and it may be a very big mistake for me to choose to go to school, because now college is a waste of time to play games online except for sleeping. (It's very likely that the author's school is too bad, hehe.) ）

At that time, there was still no smart phone, and daily life was extremely boring, and the worst thing was to not see which direction the future was, so the NBA became his own spiritual food, after going to college, the most convenient thing was to read the information and sell the newspaper, and it was also a special kind of newspaper that reported on basketball, and the basketball newspaper at that time would be published on Monday and Thursday, two yuan a piece, although it was less than the Chutian Metropolitan Newspaper for five cents, but it was worth the money.

That year, Yi Jianlian entered the NBA, and Sun Yue was also drafted by the Lakers with the 40th pick and won the title of "Chinese Magician".

In everyone's opinion, Sun Yue's physical fitness is actually no worse than Jeremy Lin, maybe it's bad luck or maybe it's not hard enough, maybe it's because of something else, Sun Yue has always become a pity.

Yi Jianlian played very well in his rookie season and played very well before the injury, and his rivalry with the Bucks' hairless hero Villanueva at the time also became a topic of frequent conversation, and that year people met Mo Buchuan (Mo Williams) and Reed.

Maybe if it weren't for that injury at the height of the limelight, it is unknown whether Yi Jianlian would have become the next Nowitzki or Garnett.

That year, the young Durant joined the big league, and I don't know if anyone would have thought that this skinny bamboo pole would become a star who will compete with James in the future. It was a pity for Oden that year......

At the peak of Chris Paul that year, the Hornets (Pelicans) and Spurs fought seven games and lost in the end.

That year, the Celtics took down the Lakers without Bynum, Pierce staged the return of the king, and Garnett gave Gasol a soft hat.

That year, the purple-gold No. 24 left an unwilling look.

olympic games

This year ushered in the Beijing Olympic Games, and for China, which had many things going badly this year, the Olympic Games, which had spent a lot of money, became the focus of the world.

This year, China's gold medal surpassed that of the United States.

This year, Liu Xiang's retirement became the target of national criticism.

This year, Zhang Juanjuan single-handedly picked out three strong Koreans in the archery event and won the gold medal.

This year, Kobe Bryant competed for the first time, and he was going to lead the U.S. team to the humiliation of the '04 Olympics.

This year, the Chinese basketball team is in a peak state, the newcomers are Sun Yueyi Jianlian, two superstars, the Mesozoic is Yao Mingwa, Wang Zhizhi, these upright stars, plus the same state of Zhu Fangyu Wang Shipeng and others with the assistance, that year the Chinese team and the Spanish team were inseparable, won the German team led by the German tank Nowitzki, and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Although the Chinese team lost to the Lithuanian team in the end, everyone saw the hope for the future of the Chinese team. (It turns out that this is the peak of the Chinese men's basketball team, and it will gradually decline from now on)

In that year's Olympic Games, the U.S. men's basketball team bet that whoever could dunk a basket in front of Sun Yue would get $500,000 in betting, and as a result, Howard was rewarded by Sun Yue in a hot pot during the game.

That year, the Spanish team and the United States team fought until the end to determine the winner, which once again gave people a glimpse of the future of the Chinese team that could play overtime with the Spanish team. (Illusion).

That year, under the recommendation of Kobe, Sun Yue officially joined the giant team of the Lakers and officially became a member of the NBA.

It was a year when I didn't understand anything, but I was full of hope for the future, and I didn't notice the tribulations coming.

In 2009

Almost all the players who came back from the Beijing Olympics broke out, and the most eye-catching performance was Wade, who averaged 30.2 points, 7.5 assists, 5 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1 block per game, and was rated as the second scoring guard in the league (the first was in the Lakers at the time) and the most blocking guard.

That year, Kobe Bryant staged six kills, and I watched two live broadcasts, the one against the Kings and the Heat, and I remember watching the TV in the hotel when Bryant scored the last shot, and the schoolgirl who was eating screamed!

At the time, I didn't like the No. 24 very much, but I was impressed by his super ability.

Only ability, super ability, is the last good way to shut up fans who don't accept you.

That year, the Magic were at their best under Turkoglou, and they eliminated the Celtics and the Cavaliers in the playoffs to meet the Lakers in the Finals......

However, the head coach of the Magic team made two great mistakes in the game with the Lakers, which led to the final defeat of the Magic team, the first was to change the player, replace Alstom, who had run in with the team, and replace Nelson, who had just returned from injury, and the second was the fateful arrangement at the end of the second game, which actually let Howard go to receive the serve. (In the end, he missed two free throws and was tied by Fisher with a three-pointer)

In 2009, when there was a lot of snowfall, I remember my friend and I catching the train home for the New Year, and we were talking about basketball all the way, maybe this was the only way to withstand the bone-chilling temperatures in the south......
