Although Beijing in August is not as hot as in the south, it is by no means cool. The white clouds floating in the sky do not block the heat of the sun, the air here is drier, and the hot light hits people's faces, as if to crack people's skin.

Today is the day of the NHBA National Finals, and the game time is set for half past seven in the evening, which can be said to be prime time.

Gan Zhi slept at home in the morning, and on match days, he always slept a little longer to keep himself energized during the game.

In fact, Ganzhi woke up very early, but he didn't want to get up, he was lying on the bed alone, and no one at home called him.

This is his third time participating in the national finals, but the first two were held in other cities, staying in hotels, and the coach would tell them to wake up early.

This time, I didn't need to, I trained all afternoon yesterday, and today Lu Zihao asked everyone to go to the competition venue at three o'clock in the afternoon to get used to the venue, do some shooting training, and then you can prepare for the evening game.

Gan Zhi usually lives with his grandfather, not far from the school, near Wanshou Temple, in a mid-range community, and directly bought a floor to live in. There are a total of four suites on the first floor, one each of Gan Zhi and his grandfather, and the remaining two rooms are used by nannies and bodyguards.

Gan has lived here for many years, a very ordinary community, although a house seems empty and deserted when he lives alone, but it will be very comfortable when he gets used to it, after all, someone takes care of him.

Unlike outsiders think, Gan Zhi's basketball training is all conscious, his grandfather has never instructed him, nor has he forced him, on the morning of the rest day, he gets up at what time he wants, and does whatever he wants, and his grandfather never interferes with him.

Many people speculate that Gan Guoyang is not Gan Zhi's grandfather but his father, but Gan Zhizhi does not believe it, because he knows that his father is Gan Wenshan, he lives in the United States, and he was still studying when he was born.

Later, he remarried, probably when Gan was in elementary school, and would come back from the United States every year to accompany Gan for a period of time. In fact, he wanted to take Ganzhi to the United States, but Ganzhi himself didn't want to, he wanted to be with his grandfather.

Gan Zhi also knew who his mother was, a Chinese girl, and after giving birth to him, she left the United States for Germany, and later got married. When Gan Zhi was in junior high school, she came to Beijing to find Gan Zhi, and her grandfather generously arranged for them to meet, and Gan Zhi met her biological mother, which was strange and complicated.

In short, the family relationship that seems confusing to others is actually not complicated, and perhaps the strangest thing is that such a family model is too different from the traditional family.

Sometimes Gan Zhi himself wonders why his grandfather is so free-spirited, he doesn't seem to care about anything, money, fame, status, although he has everything.

But Gan could feel that he was different from those who felt lonely after success, and that his indifference did not come from the emptiness of satisfaction, but from himself, an indescribable quality of himself. Gan Zhi couldn't describe it in words, but when he watched his grandfather sit there quietly and ponder, he could feel this quality of hers.

Gan Zhi had heard Feng Guangyao, his grandfather's bodyguard for many years, say, "The boss is a person who has become a Buddha, and ordinary people come to the world to suffer, and he is here to practice." ”

I don't understand this sentence very well, but his personality is more or less with his grandfather, not attached, not rigid, eat when hungry, sleep when sleepy, fight for what you want, and don't take a look at what you don't want. Don't pretend to be high, but also roll dissatisfied, the so-called see the extraordinary in the ordinary, and listen to the thunder in the silent.

So, Ganzhi lay in bed, slept for two years, and slept until lunch.

The nanny next door made the noon meal, opened the door and brought it to Ganzhi's house, and then shouted Ganzhi to get up and eat, Ganzhi only got up, washed and eaten.

The nanny is a 50-year-old mother, a native of Jiangsu, who can cook authentic Huaiyang cuisine.

Gan Zhi once heard his grandmother say that his great-grandfather was a Huaiyang chef, and he took his grandfather to the United States to join relatives and work as a chef in a restaurant in San Francisco.

Grandma also said that grandpa also cooked good dishes, but now he rarely cooks by himself, and he has never eaten grandpa's cooking.

While eating, Gan Zhi asked the nanny, "Where is my grandfather?"

The nanny replied, "I went out early in the morning." ”

Gan Zhizhi thought about it, it is estimated that he is preparing for the finals tonight, it has been 20 years since he founded the NHBA, and Gan Guoyang has long been unable to ask about specific affairs, but he still has to take care of the finals.

After pulling the rice in the bowl, I drank some fish ball soup, wiped my mouth willingly, looked at the time as if it was still early, and thought about whether to go back to bed and sleep for a while.

At this time, the nanny said: "Mr. said before leaving, let you go to the stadium to warm up after lunch, and don't sleep." ”

The gentleman that the nanny said was Gan Guoyang, and when Gan heard it, he dispelled the idea of going back to bed and lying down for a while, packed up, and went out.

……………………

"Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan, it's here, wake up, wake up!"

"Ahh......h Not dead, not dead, not dead. ”

"you, get up!"

At noon on the day of the competition, the flight from Nanjing to Beijing arrived at the Beijing Capital Airport, Lu Yuan opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep, just now he dreamed that the plane was hit by a missile and was about to crash, he had to parachute, but he jumped down and found that he was carrying a kite.

Originally, the whole Lizhong team was going to take the high-speed train to Beijing, but a company in Licheng sponsored and booked plane tickets for the whole team, so that the players could arrive in Beijing early without a few hours of fatigue.

It is indeed more comfortable and faster to take a plane than a train, and the whole team arrived at the hotel by airport bus, and the players saw that there were reporters carrying cameras to film them at the door of the hotel.

"Wow, this must be for the sports news in the evening, and the host will definitely say, 'The young players from Licheng arrived at the hotel by bus and are ready for tonight's national finals......!'

When Lu Yuan saw these reporters, he learned the tone of the host in sports news, and made up a line for himself, which made everyone laugh.

Entering the hotel and opening the room, Lu Yuan remembered a question, what about the white leaf people.

This guy went back to Beijing ahead of schedule and said that he would meet everyone in the hotel at noon, why didn't he show up?

Gao Jing asked Lu Yuan to call Bai Ye, so Lu Yuan called over, and after connecting, he said, "Yezi, we have arrived at the hotel, come on, you have to train in the afternoon." ”

On the other end, Bai Ye said, "Lu Yuan, do you have time now?"

"Ahh ”

"I asked you if you have time, you guys are coming by plane today, come to me when you have time, I'll send you the address later, you come directly." ”

"Hey, I'm going to play today, you... What are you doing?"

"Don't ask so much, come here, I'm looking for something for you. ”

After speaking, Bai Ye hung up the phone, and then sent a message to Lu Yuan, which was an address location, a small café not far from the hotel.

Lu Yuan felt strange, why didn't he meet his teammates when he arrived in Beijing, but asked him to go to him?

At this time, Gao Jing came over and asked, "Hey Lu Yuan, where is the Ye Ziren, when are you coming?" In the afternoon, we are going to adapt to the venue." ”

Lu Yuan looked serious, didn't speak, thought for a while and said, "Teacher Gao, I think you should go to the police first." ”

Gao Jing was stunned for a moment when she heard this, this Lu Yuan was sick again, how could you let the police call it? Then he said: "Lu Yuan, don't be nervous, did you talk to Bai Ye on the phone just now?"

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "It's hit, that's why I said that I should go to the police first." ”

Gao Jingqi said: "Why?"

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed, and he whispered: "I think Ye Zi has been kidnapped!"
