Chapter 2 The Third Father and Zhou Yibin

July 1994, Chang'an City, Shaanxi Province.

Xi'an in July is scorching, the blazing sun exudes his fiery emotions, forcing people to shed every drop of sweat, and in the hottest afternoon, most of the people hide in the house to rest.

The construction site of the newly renovated dormitory building of Chang'an Jiaotong University was empty, and because the temperature was too high, the engineering team had to avoid the hottest time at noon, and the afternoon work would generally start after 3 o'clock.

Liu Han has been working on the construction site for a month, and for a month, the daily wind and sun have made Liu Han's already dark skin appear deeper.

"Hanwa, let's go, brother will lead you up and around!" This is Zhao Yong from the same village who came with Liu Han.

Liu Han looked at the third uncle Liu Zhisheng, generally without Liu Zhisheng's consent, Liu Han would never go out.

"Qi (go), it's okay to keep up with Xiao Yong, accept the immortal qi in this university, and see if you can cure your disease!"

Liu Han followed Zhao Yong to the school under the 40-degree heat and began to wander around, the campus seemed a little deserted during the summer vacation, and most of the students chose to go home.

"Bang-bang-"

The sound of the basketball hitting the concrete floor on the basketball court attracted the attention of the two people, playing in the nearly 40-degree heat, the people who played the ball were either very passionate about basketball, or just like Liu Han, they were a little "naΓ―ve".

Liu Han knew it was basketball, but he hadn't played it once.

It was a young man who was not inferior to Liu Han in height, and it seemed that he had underestimated the severity of the high temperature, and he began to pant and sweat after playing for less than half an hour.

Zhao Yong saw that the young man began to sit on the sidelines and began to rest, so he boldly walked into the basketball court. Liu Han saw Zhao Yong walk in, so he also walked in together.

"This classmate, can I shoot your basketball?" Zhao Yong asked the young man boldly.

Zhou Yibin looked at the two young men who were obviously dressed as migrant workers, and heard one of them ask him in a thickly accented Mandarin.

"Okay, I'm tired of fighting alone anyway, so if you want to play, you can play together!"

Zhou Yibin is a very easy-going person, he doesn't feel that he is a college student and is nobler than these migrant workers.

Zhao Yong saw that the young man agreed, so he picked up the basketball and slapped it, and threw a few blues. Liu Han, on the other hand, stood on the sidelines with some embarrassment.

"Hanwa, come to Yida (together) to play!" Zhao Yong tried to call Liu Han over.

"Uh, I won't fight!" Liu Han looked nervous.

Zhou Yibin looked at the dribbling and shooting movements of the shorter young man, and knew that these two people were not very good at playing basketball.

"It's okay, you can't learn, you can't be born to know everything." Zhou Yibin looked at the tall young man standing on the sidelines awkwardly and said enthusiastically.

Zhou Yibin's enthusiastic words made Liu Han relax a little, and he walked onto the basketball court. Zhao Yong saw that Liu Han was also coming up, so he threw the basketball in his hand to Liu Han.

"Hanwa, vote for one."

Liu Han hurriedly took over the basketball, the basketball was very good, and the rounded arc made Liu Han feel very comfortable holding the ball in his hand. Liu Han learned the way Zhao Yong shot just now and pushed the ball out with the palm of his hand, but unfortunately, he didn't touch anything, and the basketball fell directly into the hands of Zhou Yibin, who was sitting under the basketball hoop.

"Come on, I'll teach you how to shoot."

"First of all, you can't push the shot in the middle of the palm, you have to use the strength of your fingers, you know? When shooting, the wrist and palm are vertical, and the forearm and upper arm are also vertical......" Zhou Yibin walked to Liu Han's side and began to correct Liu Han's movements little by little.

Liu Han didn't speak, he just felt that this young man was very kind, so he followed Zhou Yibin's knowledge to correct his actions.

"Don't jump at the beginning, because the jump shot is much more difficult than the shot if you stand firm, and you need the whole body to cooperate to complete, so you try to stand firm and shoot first, get closer to the basket."

Liu Han stood on the edge of the three-second zone with the ball, tried to lift the ball up according to what Zhou Yibin said, gently supported the left side of the basketball with his left hand, moved his forearm forward, and his fingers plucked the basketball hard, brushing, the basketball crossed a beautiful arc and drilled into the basket, the ball rubbed against the basketball net and made a wonderful sound, an indescribable feeling surged into Liu Han's heart, as if the feeling of his grandmother gently stroking his back when he was a child, goosebumps all over his body from head to toe.

"Hey, it's a good vote, it's a fast learner, you see, as long as you're willing to learn, anything is easy!" Zhou Yibin encouraged Liu Han on the side.

Liu Han stared blankly at the basketball that was still rolling on the ground, and a sense of accomplishment arose, since he was born, he was considered a fool, and he was regarded as the kind of person who should achieve nothing and live a life in a mess.

"Come on, come again, this time a little farther away, take a step back and try again."

Liu Han picked up the basketball again, took a step back, shot, shot, brushed, and the ball was hollowed into the frame again.

"Ha, yes, come again, come again." Zhou Yibin was a little surprised to see Liu Han score the ball again.

Brush--, brush--, brush--

After Liu Han accurately threw the ball into the basket three times in a row, Zhou Yibin was not calm.

"Have you ever played basketball before?"

"Ha, Hanwa, don't think you still have this hand." Zhao Yong was obviously surprised.

"No, no, uh...... I haven't played before! Liu Han replied a little shyly in Mandarin that he was not proficient in.

"Your name is Hanwa?"

"Uh...... My nickname is Hanwa, and my big name is Liu Han. ”

"My name is Zhao Yong, and we are both from Suide, from the same village!"

"Hehe, Liu Han, the name is very atmospheric, my name is Zhou Yibin, and I am from Lu Province!"

"Come on, Liu Han, try again, this time a little farther!" Zhou Yibin picked up the ball on the ground and threw it to Liu Han.

Liu Han took a step back again, and his position was already very close to the three-point line, although he didn't understand what the white lines were meant by the drawing.

Shot, shot, bang, this time the ball didn't go in, but bounced out of the back of the basket. Zhou Yibin picked up the basketball and threw it to Liu Han again. "Come again!" He wanted to see if Liu Hangang was blind when he could throw it in.

Liu Han picked up the ball and calmed down, shot, shot, brush-

"Come again!" Brush -

"Come again!" Brush--, brush--, brush--

Liu Han then threw ten, and all ten goals were scored, this magical performance made Zhou Yibin a little confused, Liu Han didn't understand, but Zhou Yibin has been practicing since he was eight years old, and from Liu Han's first shot, he could see that Liu Han had definitely not been in contact with basketball before. And after he taught Liu Han how to shoot correctly, he hit thirteen times in fourteen shots, and the shooting action is very regular, it can be said that Liu Han's current shooting action is not worse than his, and the more difficult thing is that Liu Han's shooting position is close to the three-point line in the last ten balls, and people who often play know that this kind of half-volley shooting is the most difficult.

Liu Han's change not only made Zhou Yibin a little confused, but also made Zhao Yong even more surprised, because he grew up with Liu Han since he was a child, Liu Han didn't speak until he was five years old, other children went to primary school at the age of seven, and Liu Han didn't start elementary school until he was nine years old, and he struggled to go to primary school, and finally dropped out of school without even being admitted to junior high school. Liu Han worked hard when he studied, but this effort did not seem to make him successful, so in the eyes of these "normal" children who grew up together, Liu Han was a fool. But now this fool can actually throw such a beautiful shot after being taught a little by others, which makes Zhao Yong feel that this fool is really enlightened in this university.

"Zhao Yong, has Liu Han really never played basketball before?" Liu Han's performance made Zhou Yibin have to confirm again.

"He, he's been a fool since he was a child..., just a little silly, he didn't go to school after finishing elementary school, and our elementary school in the poor ravine didn't have basketball at all."

Liu Han scratched his head, and his dark face showed a smirk that seemed to cooperate with Zhao Yong's words.

"Heh, if he's a fool, then what will happen to me!" Zhou Yibin thought.

"Come on, Liu Han, you take a little back, exit the white line, and try again."

Liu Han ran over to pick up the basketball, held the ball and ran outside the three-point line, still standing, shooting, shooting, bang, this time the ball didn't go in, and it slammed into the front of the basket.

"Try again, it's a little more powerful."

Bang, this time it hit the back edge.

Liu Han took the initiative to run over and pick up the ball this time, came to the three-point line again, calmed down, shot, shot, and the basketball flew to the basket in a beautiful and unparalleled arc, brushing-

"Beautiful ......" Zhou Yibin had to cheer for this ball, because the ball was so comfortable to throw, and the trajectory of the basketball was perfect.

Liu Han took down the hands he was holding, and he looked at his hands a little blankly, is this true? Liu Han, who came back to his senses, ran over again to pick up the ball in a wonderful state, and came to outside the three-point line again, shooting, shooting, brushing-

Shooting, shooting, brushing-

Brush--, brush--.......

Liu Han seemed to have entered a state of selflessness, picking up the ball and shooting as if no one was around, and the basketball flew into the basket again and again, swinging a wave of nets.

Zhou Yibin opened his mouth wide and stood with Zhao Yong, they watched Liu Han shoot again and again, pick up the ball again and again, in the next 15 minutes, Liu Han shot nearly 100 times, and what is even more exaggerated is that nearly ninety percent of his shots have scored.

Liu Han, who kept running and shooting for 15 minutes, was sweating profusely, and his dark skin looked shiny.

"This, what's going on, did I just run into a genius casually?" Zhou Yibin was shocked by Liu Han's shot!

"Hanwa is ......open," Zhao Yong whispered in a moaning tone.

Liu Han scratched his head and smirked at the two of them as if he was stupid.

Zhou Yibin walked up to Liu Han and looked at Liu Han with a strange gaze.

"You really haven't played basketball before? What are you doing when you're not in school? ”

"Eshu is not good at reading, Eshu has never played basketball before, and when he is not in school, he works at home and herds sheep ......" Liu Han, who was completely relaxed, began to speak in dialect again. Zhou Yibin, who has been living in Shaanxi for a year, can slightly understand Liu Han's dialect.

"It seems that your shooting talent is very good, hehe, okay, come on, I'll teach you the jump shot again. A jump shot is not the same as a standing shot, you need to keep your body shape when you jump, but you also need to make sure that you shoot the same hand when you jump. This not only requires the coordination of your lower limbs, but more importantly, it requires you to have good waist strength. I'll do it first, you see, and then try it yourself. ”

After speaking, Zhou Yibin picked up the basketball and slapped it twice, then jumped up, kept his body straight, and shot when he jumped to the highest point, brushing, a very standard jump shot. Liu Han watched Zhou Yibin's movements without blinking.

"Come on, try it yourself!"

Liu Han took the basketball handed over by Zhou Yibin, calmed down, learned Zhou Yibin's movements, jumped up, and shot, but because he did not maintain the balance of his body, his body leaned forward slightly, and when he shot, his body began to fall, and the ball thrown naturally hit the front of the basket.

"Isn't it awkward, hehe, basketball is not that simple! You didn't keep your center of gravity well when you jumped just now, so your body started to lean forward in the air, and the time to shoot was not right, slow, come, try again, remember to keep your center of gravity in the air, and shoot at the moment when you feel most comfortable. "I have to say that the young Zhou Yibin is an excellent teacher for Liu Han, who is almost as white as a blank sheet of paper.

Liu Han began to practice under the guidance of Zhou Yibin, but he felt awkward after trying several times.

"Stop, don't take the ball, empty-handed, try to jump as high as you can, and then simulate the action of shooting empty-handed."

Although Liu Han doesn't quite understand the meaning of Zhou Yibin asking him to do this, he is a good executor, as long as he thinks it is good for himself, Zhou Yibin asks him to do it, and he will implement it meticulously.

For the next half hour, Liu Han kept jumping somewhere, and at the same time simulating the action of shooting the basketball. Half an hour of non-stop bouncing and a high temperature of nearly forty degrees made Liu Han exhausted.

"Okay, that's all for today, it's almost two o'clock, you still have to work in the afternoon, go back and rest and you'll be busy! Come back tomorrow when you have time, I'll be here tomorrow waiting for you. Zhou Yibin saw that Liu Han's physical strength had reached its limit.

"That's it, Hanwa, we have to go back quickly, and we'll come back tomorrow!"

"Well, okay, this, thank you, eh...... I'm not very good at talking, you're a good guy anyway, I'll come tomorrow! Liu Han felt very good about Zhou Yibin, and issued a good person card in a timely manner.

"Hehe, why does this sound so awkward, okay, it's okay, don't thank me, I'm also idle on vacation, and I'm very happy to have you to play with me!"

Liu Han followed Zhao Yong out of the basketball court, Zhou Yibin looked at Liu Han, who left the court three times and turned back, and felt that this dark-skinned migrant worker who was slightly taller than him was very cute, hehe, that's right, it's cute, Zhou Yibin felt that this was a pure person.

Zhao Yong, who returned to the shed, told his co-workers what he had seen at noon, and everyone was amazed that Liu Han, a "handful baby", had such a miraculous performance.

"Hanwa, I didn't expect you to have such a ha, hehe, it seems that the fairy energy of this school is really useful!" Liu Zhisheng said jokingly.

In the evening, after a day of hard work, Liu Han traveled to the Chase bunk, thinking about everything that happened at noon, recalling every shot he made, every jump, recalling every feeling of his fingers when the basketball was shot, and recalling the wonderful arc of the basketball in the air, he had never been as happy as today.

"Basketball, that's a good thing......"
