Chapter 5: Strange People and Strange Dreams

Where am I?

Cheng Fei felt a headache, and when he opened his eyes, there was a snowflake in front of him, like a TV with poor ratings. He blinked, the headache disappeared, and the scene in front of him gradually became clearer.

This, where is this?

Cheng Fei was completely confused. He was in a huge room, an indoor basketball hall to be exact. He has never entered the gymnasium, when he was in elementary school and junior high school, the school did not have such high-end facilities, but now there is an indoor gymnasium in the sixth middle school, but now there is no chance to enter, especially the basketball hall on the second floor, it is said that only the members of the school team are eligible to go up.

Right now, the place where Cheng Fei is located is absolutely impossible to be the basketball hall of No. 6 Middle School.

The venue is so large and large, and the floor is so colorful that it is bright enough to reflect the human figure. Cheng Fei tried to take a few steps, and there was no feeling of slipping, which was very comfortable. There are rows of bright lights on the top, and there are huge hoops, and the electronic scorers on the hoops, and the basketballs resting on the sides like small hills...... It all made Cheng Fei more and more confused.

However, through the beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows, he could not see the outdoor view.

Am I in a dream? Cheng Fei thought to himself, and then he bent down, and was about to pinch his thigh, when suddenly footsteps sounded from behind, followed by a "bang" hitting sound.

Cheng Fei turned around and found that there was no one behind him, and the court was empty.

He was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and when he was about to shout loudly, a voice, as if coming from afar, sounded leisurely: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Cheng Fei......"

Cheng Fei hurriedly turned around.

A man was standing under the basket on the opposite side, he was on his side, wearing a light gray sleeveless basketball jersey and loose sports shorts, with a slender figure and well-proportioned muscles, and he looked about 1.88 to 1.90 meters by eye. Cheng Fei soon noticed that this person was wearing a white elbow pad on his left arm.

White elbow pads! Cheng Fei suddenly remembered, wasn't he one of the two people he met on the court at night? They lost that basketball! But how could I dream of them!

"You know my name?" Cheng Fei tried to speak, but found that his voice was fluttering, the same as the other party.

The man nodded. Cheng Fei still couldn't see his face clearly, as if there was an impenetrable layer of tulle covering his face, no matter how closely you looked, he just couldn't see clearly. Strangely, the other party's expression can be revealed. Cheng Fei clearly saw the other party smiling at him.

"I don't just know your name, I know you well." He paused, and without waiting for Cheng Fei to speak, he changed the topic, "You picked up a basketball today, and then you want to learn to play basketball, is that so?" ”

Cheng Fei opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say. He quickly reacted and said, "You lost that basketball, and I always wanted to return it to you, but you were no longer there when I chased it out, so I ......"

The man smiled and nodded, "That's right, that's it, that basketball ...... It doesn't matter, even if it's a welcome gift for you. ”

Cheng Fei thought to himself, give me such a shabby basketball, and say that it should be a meeting gift? Of course, I didn't dare to say that.

The white elbow pads seemed agitated and a little overwhelmed. He pondered for a moment, and suddenly a basketball appeared in the palm of his right hand, as if it were a trick. He shook the basketball, looked up and asked Cheng Fei, "Are you ...... If you want to learn how to play basketball, let me teach you! ”

Cheng Fei was overjoyed: "Is it okay?" You're really good at basketball, but that's how ......"

The white elbow pad interrupted him excitedly: "Quick, time is running out, I'll teach you now!" You have to concentrate, look at me, listen to me, remember every word I say, and every action! Now, I'm here to show you the magic of basketball! ”

The words were still in his ears, and the white elbow pads suddenly shook and flew towards the forbidden area. The basketball is like a jumping elf in his hands, obediently moving in response to the sound, free and easy, with his free stretching body movements, it is simply pleasing to the eye, smooth and natural!

Cheng Fei was just about to applaud, when he saw the white elbow pads jumping up in the air, and the person in the air was like a longbow shooting the sun, elegant, wild, and agile blended together in a magical way! He grabbed the basketball in his right hand and slammed it down with lightning speed!

With a "click", the force ran through the air, the basketball passed through the net, and the basket trembled slightly a few times!

The white elbow pads landed lightly and silently, and he ran to the outside line with vigorous steps, clapping his hands in annoyance and saying, "No, no, I shouldn't have taught you from dunking, you can't dunk yet!" yes, yes, I should have taught you by shooting now, no, it should be a layup......"

Cheng Fei listened to the nagging of himself, and his head couldn't help but feel dizzy. However, the action of his dunk just now was really incomparably beautiful, and it was even more pleasing to the eye than the one he saw at night!

The white elbow pad stomped anxiously and shouted, "Look at me!" As he spoke, he held the ball in both hands, sank his waist, bent his knees, looked directly at the basket with both eyes, and then rose to his feet! His bounce is amazing, jumping on the spot, his legs are straight, and he can even get far off the ground. He seemed to pause for a moment at the highest point, his upper arm bounced, his wrist flicked, and his fingertips flicked, and the basketball was like flowing water, drawing a beautiful arc and coming out of his hand!

"Whew", the sound of the basketball scraping the net is so crisp, especially pleasant in the huge and quiet stadium.

"It's a jumper, the most basic scoring move! The coordination of the body is very important, the posture is also very important, and it must be done to the standard, otherwise it will ...... later OMG! The white elbow pads muttered again, he took a step with the ball, and then said, "Take a step with the ball like this, move the center of gravity and feet, it is a walk, and in the game it is a foul ......."

"Three steps to the layup, pay attention to my pace, and after the last step up, pay attention to ......"

"This is a change of hands, using the shaking of the upper body, the movement of the footsteps, and the deceptiveness of the eyes to ...... quickly"

"The stop-and-go jump shot is an upgraded version of the jump shot technology......"

"The air lever is a three-step layup in the air to dodge the opponent's block......"

"It's back-to-back, bogushing, and then shooting backwards. Shooting backwards requires a good sense of balance and strength ......"

……

……

……

"If it's like this at this time, if you snap it, it's a foul by the thug, and it's pushing people......"

The white elbow pads are constantly running on both sides of the court, constantly doing various postures, which is simply dazzling and dizzying, plus his mouth is constantly nagging, explaining all the rules and techniques about basketball, there is no rule at all, even if a person who has played basketball for several years comes to listen, he is absolutely dizzy and doesn't know why.

However, Cheng Fei fell into a trance.

He didn't know why, everything demonstrated and explained by the white elbow pads was like spring water irrigating his head, and his thinking was very clear now, extremely clear, even better than when he was in the high school entrance examination. He didn't know why, he seemed to understand the things in front of him when he saw them, and understood them when he heard them.

It's a dream, and as soon as I wake up, I forget it all. Cheng Fei thought with a little sadness.

I don't know how long it was, maybe a whole night. Of course, Cheng Fei didn't think it was night, because the lights on the court were very bright, shining like day. Still, he couldn't see the white elbow pads' face clearly. The man had been dodging and moving on the field for a long time, already sweating and panting.

He smiled at Cheng Fei tiredly: "I don't know if I can see you again, so I want to teach you all the knowledge of basketball, so I let you stay with me for so long." The charm of basketball is endless, just talking about theoretical knowledge can be said to be vast, what I show you today is just a drop in the bucket, you may ...... Can't remember how many ......."

Cheng Fei was stunned for a long time and said, "I remember everything." ”

This time it was the other party's turn to be surprised. The white elbow pads were skeptical at first, and then showed a relieved smile: "Very good, very good, you are very smart, I always knew it." ”

The two were relatively speechless for a while. The white elbow pads looked at the basket, as if they wanted to teach some moves, but they shook their heads, sighed, and said to themselves: "How can there be a genius who becomes famous overnight?" If I hadn't practiced hard for thousands of days and nights, and had not been able to have the guidance and help of so many seniors, how could I have gotten to where I am today? No, no amount of basketball I taught him was useless because he didn't know how to practice it yet, he wouldn't use it on the court. What should I teach him? It's almost dawn......"

Cheng Fei listened to the white elbow pads babbling and didn't dare to interrupt him.

Suddenly, the white elbow pads suddenly fell silent, and then said leisurely: "Use your own strength, and hit others' shortness." Offensive or defensive, it's the ultimate rule. No matter how powerful a person is, he has his weaknesses. It's all about discovering this weakness, catching it, and thus crushing your opponents. ”

Cheng Fei was thoughtful.

"The last lesson I'm going to teach you is this," the white elbow pad continued, "the technique needs to be honed slowly, and it will take a long time, but from now on, you have to learn to read your opponents, read the game, and start to develop your own awareness." You have to look for weaknesses in your opponent, not just a single move by a particular person, but also a misalignment in the formation. Grab it, and you've caught the victory! ”

Cheng Fei's eyes glowed, and his beard dimmed again. He timidly asked, "I...... Can I do it? ”

The face of the white elbow pads suddenly sank, and a shadow cast a shadow, as if something unpleasant had happened. He turned around and whispered, "It's time for me to go, it's almost dawn, and there's an important match waiting for me tomorrow." ”

Cheng Fei was stunned, then nodded. He didn't ask what the other person's name was, who it was, or what basketball game they were playing. Because it's just a dream, though it couldn't be more real.

"Good luck." Cheng Fei said.

The white elbow pads smiled bitterly, turned around and strode away, his voice came slowly: "Good luck? I've never believed in luck, especially in basketball, where fate is always in my own hands...... Another thing to tell you is that technology and ability are important, but there is one thing that is more important. ”

"What is it?" Cheng Fei was afraid that he wouldn't hear it, so he hurriedly hurried forward to chase after him.

Before the white elbow pads disappeared, he turned his head and said to him with a complicated expression: "It's a strong heart." Remember, no matter what happens, no matter what the situation, be strong......"

Cheng Fei chased forward, and a white fog hit him, blinding his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the top bunk board, and his ears were full of rumbling sounds.

"Wake up, it's almost late!"

"It's 8 o'clock, right?"

"Hey, bring me a steamed bun!"

Cheng Fei lay on the bed and found that his hand was still holding the basketball next to the pillow.

That basketball ...... It's still so shabby.
