In August, the scorching heat of the sun is raging in the northwest, and the hot weather makes the residents of the city try to go out as much as possible, and the electric fan is regarded as the most valuable electrical appliance in the home in the family with conditions. This ancient civilization has gradually begun to make great strides, but in the northwest region, most of the people are still in the stage of poverty.

Bang, bang, the sound of the violent contact between the basketball and the ground came far away in the empty court, and there were still people playing in this nearly 40-degree heat, and I have to say that the person who played the ball was really full of love for basketball......

A month has passed, under the guidance of Zhou Yibin, Liu Han's basketball skills have undergone earth-shaking changes, from the first contact with basketball a month ago to now can dribble, fixed-point shooting, jump shots, emergency stop jump shots, and even with Zhou Yibin, an enthusiastic college student, some simple confrontations, have to make people marvel at Liu Han's talent against the sky.

"Hanwa, when dribbling, put your center of gravity down, feel the basketball with your fingertips, don't always think about staring at it with your eyes......." A month of contact made Zhou Yibin also begin to use the somewhat derogatory but affectionate title of "Hanwa" to teach Liu Han.

Zhou Yibin was seriously teaching Liu Han and sighed in his heart about Liu Han's talent, and he was even a little jealous of Liu Han, because if he could have such a body with a talent against the sky, he would have received basketball training since he was a child, and he would have rushed out of Asia to the world. Zhou Yibin's father is a well-known basketball coach of the Shandong Provincial Sports Commission, and he has been training Zhou Yibin since he was a child, but Zhou Yibin had to give up basketball because of an accidental leg break in middle school, and all he can do now is play friendly games with some friends and classmates.......

At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the dream team of the United States made the world re-understand the sport of basketball, and Zhou Yibin, who was lying on the hospital bed because of his broken leg, was also deeply shocked after watching the game......

In just one month of contact, Zhou Yibin discovered Liu Han's talent, this talent can be said to be innate, Zhou Yibin found that as long as Liu Han made the correct action that Zhou Yibin said and told him to keep this action, Liu Han could perfectly maintain this action. Zhou Yibin is even a little worried now, he is worried that if the basketball education he received is completely handed over to Liu Han, it will ruin Liu Han, after seeing the shocking performance of the American "Dream Team" at the Barcelona Olympics in 92, he has to admit that his country's basketball education is backward. So in this month's time, Zhou Yibin did not instill anything about basketball tactics or basketball experience to Liu Han, he just handed over the basic basketball movements he learned to Liu Han, and I have to admit that Zhou Yibin's foundation is very solid, Zhou Yibin, who has received his father's basketball education since he was a child, learned the basketball foundation from his father can be said to be perfect, which can be seen from Liu Han's almost perfect shooting arc and shooting action, basketball, It boils down to a sport where you throw a basketball into the hoop.

"Hanwa, who else in your family besides you, you came out to work at such a young age, do you care about your family?" In addition to training, Zhou Yibin also tried to have some simple exchanges with Liu Han.

"My grandmother passed away, my dad was shot, my mom I haven't seen since I was a child, this time I came out with my third dad." Liu Han is also learning Mandarin spoken by what he considers to be an omniscient "college student".

"Oh, have you thought about what you're going to do in the future?" Zhou Yibin didn't dare to ask much about Liu Han's life experience, because in his mind, no one would be willing to say much about this tragic experience, but what he didn't know was that in fact, Liu Han didn't have much concept of his parents at all, and there wasn't much about honor and disgrace in his stunted head, or that Liu Han was still a "pure heart", and whoever was good to him, he would be good to whom.

"In the future, I will work with my third father and earn money" After a month of city life, Liu Han gradually had a certain concept .......of money.

"Have you ever thought about continuing to play basketball in the future?"

"Fight, I don't fight with you every day." Obviously, Liu Han didn't fully understand what Zhou Yibin meant.

"I mean, play basketball to earn money and become an athlete in the future." Zhou Yibin began to explain to Liu Han.

"Playing basketball and making money? Jock? Is it the one who raises the national flag and sings the national anthem on TV? Liu Han began to be a little surprised, because in his opinion, it was a beautiful thing to be able to play basketball and make money happily.

"Yes, it's those who raise the national flag and sing the national anthem, have you thought about it?" Zhou Yibin found Liu Han's description of the athlete very interesting.

"Then I can also raise the national flag and sing the national anthem in the future? Oh, that's beautiful, when I went to school, the school also raised the national flag and sang the national anthem, and those who could go up were good drops, I didn't go up once, my grandmother said that if I could go up once in the future, she would make me artichoke rubbing and eating, and I told you, my milk made drops of artichoke and rubbed and delicious ......."

Liu Han began to pull Zhou Yibin, who looked surprised, and began to talk about the food made by his grandmother in dialect. Zhou Yibin was a little surprised by Liu Han's "shallow" knowledge, because he had never been exposed to this kind of poor rural life since he was a child, and it was difficult for him to imagine what kind of hard life Liu Han, who had been orphaned since childhood, should live.

"It's almost time today, you go back and take a break and go to work, oh, by the way, what day have you been off lately? I'll take you to meet one of my elders. Zhou Yibin wanted to take Liu Han to meet his father's friend Coach Li Rui, Coach Li Rui is the basketball coach of his school, who came back from studying in the United States, and is very open-minded, he should make a reasonable plan for Liu Han's future.

"Huh? Seeing your elders, oh, my third father said that at the end of this month, our work will be done, and we will take a day off, this, what are you doing when you elders? Liu Han was very surprised by the elders who went to see Zhou Yibin, because he had never seen the good faces of the elders in the village since he was a child.

"Well, yes, meet my elders, my elders can teach you how to play basketball and make money. Then you can go to the building at the back of the basketball court diagonally opposite me at noon on the day of the holiday. ”

In the early morning at the end of August, when the rising sun had not yet fully demonstrated its power, Zhou Yibin, who was wearing pants and holding a toothbrush full of foam, was washing in the public bathroom, when he heard a sudden voice with some roughness shouting: "Zhou Yibin, Zhou Yibin......"

"Where is the melon, what is the noise in the morning." The Northwest students who have returned to school in the dormitory show the toughness of the Northwest men in a very direct way.

"Okay, don't scream, I'll come down right away." Zhou Yibin hurriedly greeted Liu Han downstairs with a blank face in the bathroom window.

Five minutes later, Zhou Yibin, who was holding a basketball, walked up to Liu Han.

"Let's go play a little bit first, it's not good to go to the elders' house early in the morning."

"Okay, let's go." Liu Han always feels very relaxed around the peaceful Zhou Yibin, he feels that this is a very good person, just like the grandmother who is no longer there, which makes people want to be close.

Forty-two-year-old Li Rui can be said to be a perfect interpretation of the man's forty-one flowers, nearly 1.90 meters tall, with a resolute face with the characteristics of Shandong people, after experiencing the world, it seems wise and deep eyes, coupled with the gentleness unique to oriental men, which allowed him to smoothly bring back a young and beautiful foreign daughter-in-law who is 12 years younger than him from the United States - Nasha. Nasha is a Russian-American whose father left the Red Empire with great difficulty, but did not expect his daughter to end up in another Red Country. After experiencing her father's obstruction, Nasha resolutely left the United States and followed Li Rui back to China, where she taught at a university with Li Rui. It is precisely because of this that Li Rui always tries to maintain a Western-style lifestyle at home, hoping to make up for Nasha's dedication to him a little. Li Rui and Zhou Yibin's father are young, the two go to school together, play together, enter the provincial team together, and retire together, although they were not selected for the national team in the end, but Li Rui, like Zhou Yibin's father, is a person who loves basketball very much. After retiring at the age of 34, Li Rui decided to study in the United States after experiencing a rigid system life, and his decision was opposed by everyone except Zhou Yibin's father, but Li Rui still got the opportunity to study in the United States through his own efforts, and he hoped that after learning the experience of advanced countries, he could come back and help the development of the motherland's basketball career.

Reality always gives some more straightforward displays to ideals, and Li Rui, who returned to China after completing his studies, fell into a state of having nothing to do, and he had to once again enter the system life that he abandoned at the beginning.

"Nasha, what do you want to eat at noon? Braised pork or steak? Nasha, who is pregnant, is always able to be taken care of by Li Rui.

"Honey, braised pork, I'm sure our kids will prefer braised pork to steak." The charm of the foodie empire is unstoppable.

The sound of knocking on the door interrupted the love time of the two, and after Li Rui opened the door, he saw Zhou Yibin and Liu Han carrying a bag of apples.

"Hey, it's Xiaobin, oh, you kid, what else are you going to take from me, come in." Li Rui was always very kind to Zhou Yibin, and when he went abroad, only Zhou Yibin's father supported him and gave Li Rui a lot of financial support.

"Uncle, I haven't come to you since I came back from the summer vacation, I can't come empty-handed, this is the apple my dad brought back from Yantai, give you and my aunt a taste."

"Nasha, it's Xiaobin here, come over and help wash some fruit."

"Hi, Xiaobin, how was the summer vacation?" Nasha, who has been living in China for three years, speaks Chinese quite fluently.

Liu Han was quite surprised to see Nasha with blond hair, and the clean and bright room and the fabric sofa he had never seen before made him feel a little cramped.

"Come, Xiaobin, sit down first, who is this young man?" Li Rui was also a little curious about Liu Han, who was wearing shabby clothes and cloth shoes that were about to show his toes.

"Oh, uncle, this is a friend I met the other day, he works on our school construction site. Come, Liu Han, this is what I told you about my elder, Uncle Li. ”

Li ...... Uncle Li, you ...... Hello. The simple greeting Mandarin made Liu Han sweat.

"Uncle, I came here today to see you, and I want to introduce Liu Han to you to see if you can help him." Zhou Yibin said the purpose of today.
