"Slam Dunk League: Chasing Dreams" is officially over.

Finishing a book feels like breaking up with your girlfriend.

It's a wonderful feeling, I always feel like something is missing in life, but I can't say what is missing.

What may be missing is that kind of faith, that kind of dependence, that kind of life, and even the motivation of life.

The feeling of finishing a book is like entering the palace of marriage with a girlfriend.

Because the raw rice is finally cooked and finished, it means that it can finally be called a "book".

It was a sense of ritual and belonging.

Just like marriage, it may lack the passion in love at the beginning, but it is more stable than love.

To say a word from the author's heart: I haven't written enough.

Maybe some of you have seen enough, and some of you haven't, but the author really hasn't written enough.

We haven't seen Akagi Goken standing in the finals, together with Rukawa Kaede, winning the championship, shouting at the pump center where the streamers are fluttering: I, Akagi, finally dominate the country~!!!!

But this is life, this is the real life that shines in the sun and reflects in the moonlight.

There are not so many wishful things, just like the girl you pursue wholeheartedly, in her eyes, any moving thing you do is what she calls the worthless "touching" in the relationship.

Of course, there are many things that are happy with each other, beautiful stories, and happy endings.

But why the author left a "fake ending" at the end of "Chasing Dreams" is because the author wants to respect "Slam Dunk" and respect Mr. Inoue.

Because that's a story with no ending.

Just imagine, if the Xiangbei team had won the national championship despite all obstacles, the story behind it might have been completely different.

That kind of mentality to chase dreams may also be different.

So, a lot of times, an ending that doesn't seem to have a real ending is a better ending.

It's like a man in the desert who is begging for water, and when he sees a bottle of water, he doesn't drink it, but keeps half of it for others who are lost in this desert.

It's the same thing.

This "Chasing Dreams" is not only dedicated to all the loyal fans of "Slam Dunk", not only to the green years when we watched cartoons and began to contact basketball in those years, in fact, it is also dedicated to the author himself, so it is said that it has drawn an end to "Chasing Dreams", and it is also for the author's youth, with an explanation, although it is not the most perfect explanation, but this is life, the beauty of imperfect defects.

Since the fifth grade of primary school, I have been exposed to basketball, and whether it is academic pressure or my own lack of conditions, it has not made me stop loving basketball.

So such a book is the author's tribute to the sweat on the basketball court in those years, the tribute to the youth without regrets, and the tribute to basketball.

Coupled with the NBA factor, the author is more fond of basketball.

So much so that because of basketball, the author feels every time that it is not because of a stupid head, but because of no intentions, if you do everything, like playing basketball, persevere, maybe do anything, you will do it well.

Of course. These words are actually a kind of self-consolation of the author, many things in this world require a certain amount of talent.

This is just like what the author mentioned in the book before: if success is also 1% talent and 99% sweat, then, if there is no insignificant 1%, no matter how hard you try, it is a little bit short of success.

But if that's the case, is the definition of "success" too narrow~?!

The end of one story is the beginning of another, perhaps, the person who can bring the champion to Xiangbei has slowly come to you.

Maybe there are still many debatable things in "Chasing Dreams", places worth improving, and things worth optimizing, all of which the author keeps in mind.

Every book review, the author also keeps in mind, people who encourage, I thank you, you are the waves that push the sails. I thank you to those who made the suggestion, you are truly wise. I thank you for criticizing and attacking people, you are the reason for the author to guard against arrogance and rashness and make progress with an open mind.

There are so many people to thank, the guides who guided me on the path of writing, the bystanders who gave me a lot of advice, and of course, China Literature and Qidian.com, for giving me this opportunity and the opportunity to "Slam Dunk".

To all my book friends, thank you, for such a long time of companionship, although we don't know each other, but we have been drinking the same spiritual food together these times, and such a fate is already precious.

This last chapter is written for you, but also for myself, every summary, is to be more prepared and more confident to start, just like the "slam dunk", failure is not the end, success is not the end, enjoy the process, let yourself devote yourself to it, is the most important thing.

Share a life motto of the author: persistence is victory.

The author will continue to adhere to his own creative path, I hope that when the time comes, you will also continue, all the time~!!

Sincerely, salute~!!
