Chicago

A cosmopolitan city that is one of the most developed in the United States, this famous Windy City has been dormant for too long when it comes to sports. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It has had its share of high-profile glory, with the football team reaching the Super Bowl in 2007 and the baseball team winning a championship in 2005, but in basketball, it's been a long time since the basketball god left, and the Bulls, the feared team in the NBA league today, have fallen for too many years.

Although it also ushered in Derrick Rose, the top rookie of American professional basketball in 08, the whole team has developed rapidly and become a strong team in the NBA, but there is still a long way to go before the NBA championship, the highest honor that symbolizes the entire World Basketball League.

However, in 2013, the Bulls won the championship of the NBA Finals. This team, like an angry bull, won the NBA championship with unrivaled momentum, mercury offense, and airtight defense.

How hard is it to win an NBA championship?

It is no exaggeration to say that this league gathers 400 of the world's highest basketball players, concentrated in 31 teams, and competes in more than 1,300 games every year with high intensity and high level.

And the NBA championship means that this team is the strongest team of the year, and it is not impossible to call it the strongest team on the whole planet.

Such a drastic change came from just one yellow race.

An authentic Asian without any white or black blood, a yellow man who is generally considered to be the least athletic talented, and all aspects of high-intensity sports on the world stage are crushed by black and white people.

It only took him two years to go from stepping into the NBA to winning the championship.

He went from the NBA cold bench, to the absolute mainstay, to the offensive core, in a total of only two years.

From not being recognized, despised by everyone, not favored by all experts, and discriminated against by all non-Asian Americans, to NBA superstar, whose name is resounding all over the world, and countless people and even Hollywood superstars regard him as a lifelong idol, it only took two years in total.

His life is a living inspirational idol drama.

After more than ten years of sharpening a sword, when the sword left the scabbard, the cold light soared into the sky, and the entire world sports circle was shocked by him. If you don't fly, it's a blockbuster, and if you don't fly, it's just a flight.

His name is Li Yiming, as if he was born to be unknown for a long time and shock the world.

NBA Season Scoring Champion, Regular Season Most Valuable Player (MVP), NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (FMVP)

Overnight, he won the coveted accolades of countless athletes, basketball enthusiasts, and professional athletes. The flood of praise has come from all over the world: he has become an inspirational icon, a Time Magazine of the Year in 2013, the hope of Asian basketball, an object of imitation by countless teenagers, and a trend.

Nearly 20 years of obscurity, it seems that it is for the accumulation of these two years to bloom the energy he has accumulated for so many years.

Overnight, who in the world doesn't know you?

As a Chinese-Korean mixed-race, netizens in both countries are still arguing about which country's culture he is influenced by, as a star, even Hollywood celebrities favor him, he has become a sweetheart, his personal value and comparison with too many famous movie stars and singers, countless advertising endorsements can't wait to jump to him, just hope that he will stand in front of the TV and say a few words of advertising words that are not nutritious.

He became a winner in life.

Everything is so beautiful, he proved that he is comparable to the basketball talent of the "basketball god" Jordan, has become a superstar destined to surpass the legend of historical achievements, and has become the darling of countless magnesium lights, and his every move has attracted the attention of tens of millions of people, and Li Yiming has become synonymous with hope.

But tragedy is to destroy the most beautiful things for you.

There are always too many accidents, and reality is always more exaggerated than all works of art.

At the beginning of the new season, in an ordinary regular season, in the last few minutes of the game, he broke off the opponent's dribble and mobilized the muscles of his whole body as usual, jumped up, and wanted to abuse the basket that he had been violently treated too many times, but after dunking, his left foot touched the ground in a different posture than usual.

The left knee was bent violently, like a broken wooden stick, leaning on him fiercely, the folding angle like a wiper, the wound that was deep in the bones, and the shocking accident, Li Yiming never thought that he would lose to anyone, but found that this time he lost to fate.

They call him hope, but isn't hope often in the spurt of fate?

Half of the four ligaments in his knee were broken, and when he was taken to the infirmary, the doctors did not even dare to treat the wound immediately, because they were determining whether amputation was necessary.

In fact, if you are at the bottom of the valley all the time, it is not too bad, and the most terrifying despair is that you have just experienced the scenery of the sky, but you are crushed to the ground overnight.

The wound may have a chance to heal, but Li Yiming knows that he may never have the opportunity to return to the original, he would rather still be in that dark period when no team is willing to want it, and he is looking for a place to practice while playing part-time, at least at that time, he knows what he wants, although the situation is difficult, but at least there is a goal.

What now? He has just told the world that his next goal is to be comparable to the god of basketball, the god who has been hovering over all players even though the years have changed, to become the next, the god who is omnipotent, "Jordan", and even his private ambition is greater, he wants to surpass everyone, surpass every competitor and even history, and become the NO.1 that no one can match.

He believed that he had this ability, and he certainly did.

However, fate tricked people.

......

Chicago O'Hare International Airport, March 2014.

Because of the deliberate blockade of the news, there are not too many insiders gathered, but O'Hare is one of the busiest airports in the world, so at this time, a large number of people gathered together, it does not seem abrupt, not to mention that everyone is rushing to get on the plane, racing against time, and a little bit of leisure to pay attention to what happens at the airport?

Li Yiming, who was surrounded by many security personnel, was saying his final goodbye to his American friends.

"Hey, Noah, remember to pass the ball more, defend a little harder, you have to help with such a big offensive pressure." He patted a teammate on the shoulder, that person Li Yiming was much taller, and Li Yiming was worthy of his shoulder. The big man's blonde hair was wildly pierced behind his head, but his rugged face was full of sadness, and a pair of bull's eyes glared at the boss, as if he wanted to hold back the tears under his eyes, and nodded vigorously.

"And you, Dunleavy, you're a colander, put your mind to practice hard, no matter how accurate the three points are, the coach will give you a good look if you don't defend well." Li Yiming smiled again and said to another white teammate next to him.

"And you, Butler, do a good job, I'm optimistic about you, come on."

"And you, Boozer, I'm sorry, I didn't play with you much, but you're good, fight for the Bulls."

Li Yiming said goodbye one by one, and then stood in front of a black man who was a few points shorter than himself, he was Li Yiming's boss on the Bulls, Derrick Rose, this man who was not a few years older than Li Yiming, was Li Yiming's best friend when he came to the team, he took Li Yiming to practice, taught Li Yiming tactics, and never looked down on Li Yiming because of his complexion, but he was not tall but had the strongest fighting spirit, the world said that Li Yiming was the absolute trump card of the Bulls, only he knew in his heart, without Rose, The Bulls can't go so far, and the Bulls can once again become the big devil who has terrified countless teams, relying on the two guns in the backcourt: the seamless cooperation of Rose and Li Yiming.

"Boss, come on, pay attention to protect your body, don't work too hard, you are the best hope in the team, anyone can make mistakes, you can't make a mistake."

As soon as he heard "protect his body" and "the greatest hope", Li Yiming's face did not change, but Rose opposite him looked gloomy, he was a leader who was not good at words and was very restrained, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for Li Yiming's situation.

"Hope" is Li Yiming's nickname in the NBA, and "protecting the body" is indeed a lesson that Li Yiming learned through blood and tears.

If there are no injuries, how far will the ace pair go? Five or six championships, maybe none of them are their limit.

However, there is no if, this pair of momentary good stories is destined to exist only in imagination, and before it has time to usher in its peak, it has become history.

Rose didn't rush to speak, but hugged his brother heavily, and then said beside him:

"You know, the NBA is a business and we players can't even decide whether we're going to stay or not.

But believe me, whenever and wherever you want to come back, I will do my best to help you.

This is my promise, so, you have to work hard and don't let me look down on you.

Also, when you come back, I won't let you go it alone. ”

In the end, he finally controlled his emotions, pulled a smile on his face, and joked to Li Yiming.

Li Yiming nodded without a trace, his face still looked light, "Okay, next time we meet, I won't let you go alone, boss." ”

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

It wasn't until Li Yiming was about to walk to the boarding gate that the friends behind him finally couldn't control their emotions.

"Lee! Good bye! ”

"Goodbye! You must come back! ”

After all, he is a young man who is less than twenty-five years old, how can Li Yiming endure such a battle? He didn't dare to look back, pressed the cap on his head hard, and walked out of the waiting hall quickly.

Goodbye, America.

Goodbye, Chicago.

Goodbye, NBA.

Goodbye, goodbye.

Li Yiming doesn't know if he can come back, the future is too unpredictable.

is just barely recovering, and being able to return to the NBA is not the result he wants, his goal is to return to the NBA with an absolutely superhuman attitude, and continue his ambition that he has not yet been able to complete.

He didn't know if he could go back to his old state, so he chose to escape.

What's the point of surviving in the NBA? Not to mention that Li Yiming is already a young man, unwilling to be under the age of others, looking at the opponent who was trampled under his feet back then, how can he be willing to sit on top of his head now?

Never willing to back down, he said to himself that this was called a "delaying strategy", and he didn't know whether he was right or wrong.

He is gone, and he is unprecedentedly confused about the future, after all, fate will no longer be grasped by him.
