0002: [If you don't accept it, then let's try]
Evening of 26 February 2006.
Jordan, the god of basketball, was rushed to the hospital by a Brazilian female model in the presidential suite of the Las Vegas hotel, although the flyers refused to talk about the incident, let alone any connection with the recent divorce lawsuit. However, there are still inquiries that Michael lost $2 million in Las Vegas that day, and drank heavily, smoked cigars, and fainted in the female model's bed due to taking stimulant drugs.
Interestingly, these news did not form a fermentation, after all, everyone knows Michael's three hobbies, smoking, drinking, and engaging in Brazilian tender models.
And when Jordan woke up from the hospital room, he suddenly felt empty in his body, as if he had been hollowed out.
He stretched out his hand, stretching out.
Then he sighed.
Alas, the body is far less than it used to be.
I have to serve the old!
β¦β¦
Li Zhen woke up at noon the next day, when the sun was already shining on his face.
He opened his hazy eyes, blinked vigorously, and got up, realizing that something suddenly seemed to be in his body.
He walked to the bathroom and was just about to take a shower. found that all his hair was set up by lightning, very rock.
No way!
He stroked his hair hard: "My handsome hairstyle has become like this??? β
But he had just finished muttering.
A faint voice suddenly appeared in his head: "Cherish it, in twenty years your hairline will move up by five centimeters." At that point, it's hard to control the blast head......"
Who? Who is it??
Li Zhen was shocked, he jumped up and looked around, for fear of being a thief.
"I'm in your head." The voice continued to speak faintly, "It may be difficult for you to accept this fact, but I must tell you, lucky, that thunder and lightning have brought you adventures. You're favored with a 1 in a trillion probability. β
"I'm tired right now and I can't talk much. I visited your body last night and found that you have some advantages in the speed gene, so I took the means, but your body carrying capacity is too weak, and I can only increase the speed to 80. I used the rest of the energy in your hands, and in the coming week, you will find that your appetite will increase dramatically, and your palms will grow significantly, don't be surprised, this is a normal process. You know, I made that bastard gain twenty centimeters in half a year, turning him from a small black man of 1.76 meters to a golden figure of 1.98 meters......"
"It's a pity that most of my energy was consumed by that selfish, paranoid, alcoholic, gambling, and lustful man."
"I want you to be a positive person, be upright and innovative, and train hard. When you have accumulated enough energy spaces, I will awaken again, and I will help you snatch talents from the Fallen and further develop your body!"
"Goodbye, Lucky Ones......"
The voice is getting weaker and weaker.
This made Li Zhen feel inexplicable, and he couldn't help but ask, "Hey, who are you?" What's your name? Are you a portable grandfather, or a system? Speak! β
οΌοΌοΌοΌοΌ
When he said this, Li Zhen himself was surprised, he didn't know how he suddenly burst out with so many unbelievable words, was it because of that nightmare.
"Don't ask me such difficult questions, I'm a positive energy baby who has just learned to speak, rest! Rest! Take a break! β¦β¦β¦β¦β
The faint sound in my mind was like the sound of a car engine fading away, and finally disappeared.
Li Zhen was stunned.
He suddenly felt like a fool.
Am I schizophrenic?
He hurriedly went to take a cold shower, and then found out that he was still schizophrenic, he patted his head hard, in addition to feeling dizzy and painful: Am I crazy?
Jingle bells!
The phone on the table rings.
He walked over and pressed the answer button.
Assistant coach Jamilin's impatient voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Hey, Bruce, what are you doing?" Are you going to give up on yourself? Doesn't it mean to be the pride of the Chinese? Now you have at least three more games to prove yourself, come over and train. β
"Tomorrow night against USC, you're in the starting lineup. I don't want you to mess everything up again! β
Jamilin said very seriously. He is a Chinese-American coach, and he has always been very encouraging and supportive of Li Zhen, who has the same skin color: after all, in the field of basketball, there are really only a handful of people with yellow skin.
Li Zhen thought about it, and finally clenched his fists, and he replied, "Okay, I'll come over right away!" β
Then, he changed his clothes and went out to the stadium.
He doesn't know why he is suddenly so active, he no longer has a basketball dream, what can he change in the last three games? It's better to get in touch with the professors at Harvard early to prepare for the next semester's return.
However, there was still a hot fire burning in his heart, and he felt the need to give himself an explanation.
β¦β¦
When Li Zhen arrived at the stadium, most of the players had already arrived, except for the two injured ace stars.
As soon as Scott, the team's chief power forward, saw Li Zhen, he couldn't wait to run over and hug him: "Are you ready?" My dear Lee, today we're all going to be wearing the yellow vests that represent the starters, and I can't wait to conquer the USC hoops and the prodigal girls on their campus. β
Forehead....
Li Zhen felt that Scott was a little too naΓ―ve.
That's the University of Southern California!!
He doesn't think his inclusion in the starting lineup with Scott will change anything. Core guard TJ Wharton and ace small forward Nicholas have been injured one after another, and the Crimson team no longer has an elite player who can open up the situation with the ball. In the lineup, it is either a shooter or a rough brother like Scott who plays with his body, and there is no way to form an effective offensive system. The reason why I was able to get into the starting line was probably because I broke the jar and broke it.
Now that everyone knows that the Crimson have abandoned the 2005-2006 season, the coaching staff is focused on recruitment, and they are now scavenging talented high school students everywhere. Even the head coach went to Los Angeles ahead of schedule, where he will scout a pair of twin centers in preparation for next year's season.
So... Thank God for not being caught and beaten by USC.
But anyway. Now that I've got this opportunity, I have to show myself well, even if it's a farewell performance.
Li Zhen quickly went to the locker room to change his equipment, and when he walked to the court to start warming up.
He noticed that something was wrong, and it was from his own body. He realized that his center of gravity had shifted significantly as he opened his legs, and at first he thought it was an accident, but then after a few attempts, he hurried to a switchback run after some stretching.
As he ran out with all his might, he felt the wind whistling in his ears.
Before that, he wasn't slow. But now, he feels that it can be described as galloping, and he even has the feeling he used to have when he watched TJ Ford's videos.
He even began to feel that if he drove the horsepower to the maximum, he could easily take out everyone on the team.
Including Chris Patte.
And just when he came back with the ball and completed a sharp full-court sprint. Christet suddenly screamed, "Listen, Jamie! I need an explanation!! Why I'm not a starter and Bruce is! I know you are all Chinese, but you can't joke about basketball, basketball is something that speaks with strength, not your clumsy mutual warmth and mutual protection. β
Chris Patt is a small black man who is only 1.72 meters tall, and he has always called himself TJ Ford of California. But in fact, whether it is scoring ability, assist ability, or height, it is far inferior to Ford. The only similarity between the two is probably that they are both short, fast point guards.
Pat has always been resentful of Lee, both of whom were Crimson backup point guards who didn't get much playing time when TJ Wharton was around. In their limited playing time, the two have been in a competitive state.
However, he thinks the coaching staff doesn't understand the ball at all: why should I not be better off to give this skinny Chinese kid close to five minutes of playing time per game?
Just because there's a yellow-skinned assistant coach sitting in the coach's box?
Therefore, he always stabbed Li Zhen when he had the opportunity. But Li Zhen didn't bother to take care of him, in Li Zhen's eyes, this guy was a loser who was full of feces and didn't have much ability, but he couldn't see the good of others. The best response to such a person is: when he does not exist.
And this time, he actually pointed his gun directly at the assistant coach Jamie Lin.
Everyone on the team knew that Jamilin was a talented and conscientious assistant coach, and he even did a lot of things that were not in the purview of assistant coaches, including video editing, including finding individual players and analyzing technical moves one by one: he earned the respect of most people because of his professionalism and enthusiasm.
Even many of the team members are holding grievances for him, and if it weren't for the color of his skin, he would have been more than qualified for the position of head assistant coach. But now, the position of chief assistant coach has been vacant for three years.
"I'm not showing favoritism to anyone, I'm just dealing with it impartially. It's a decision made by Coach McHaney, and if you have an objection, you can call the head coach. Jamilin replied very politely.
But Christet is still unrelenting, and even began to take out what they are best at: "This is discrimination!" This is racism!! Why look down on black people, don't we black players deserve to be starters? I obviously have better talent, better standards......"
His accusations were unacceptable to black players such as Scott. The entire Crimson team had more than 70 percent blacks, and four of the original five starters were black. In basketball, aren't all blacks discriminating against other races?
At this moment, Li Zhen, who was standing next to him, suddenly remembered the scene in that nightmare.
At that time, Christet was also so noisy.
But that time, in order not to embarrass Jamie Lin, coupled with the loss of confidence in basketball at that time, he took the initiative to choose to back down. But then it led to Jamilin being reprimanded for messing up everything after Chris Pegger started the game. Selfishly, he didn't pass the ball at all, and he trailed his team by 21 points in the first quarter, which ultimately led to a 36-94 NCAA historical tragedy.
Stanford could not afford this humiliation, and Jamie Lin, the most promising candidate to become the head assistant, was fired as a result.
Li Zhen, who has experienced it once in a nightmare, will never allow it to happen in reality. Therefore, he stood up very resolutely, and looked at Christet coldly: "Don't chirp like a, if you are not convinced, then come and compete!" β
