Kalimdo, or CMD for short, is a slow 'sex' drug.

There are many types of drugs and they are popular in the United States. In a normal sense, drugs are consumed by people in order to consume the 'essence' energy that has nowhere to vent, or to seek a more stinging 'exciting' 'essence' pleasure. But CMD is different, and it would be unfair to simply reduce CMD to ordinary drugs.

CMD is first of all an internationally banned 'stimulant' hormone, which can greatly 'stimulate' all aspects of the body's functions, and the action time is as long as one to three years. Many doping drugs contain CMD, so even in professional sports, it is not a secret that nutritional 'medicine' or food with a small amount of CMD is used to cover up the fact that athletes take banned 'drugs'. Usually, the coaching staff will calculate the time for the athlete to participate in the competition, and gradually reduce the use of prohibited 'drugs' so that they can finally pass the doping test.

The vast majority of doping or 'medicated' waters, which contain CMD, are not present in very high levels and pose minimal harm to the athletes. However, the CMD content in Kalimdo has reached 85%, which belongs to the strong stabbing 'excitation' and 'sex', and the degree of 'stimulation' on human body functions is also conceivable, and at the same time, the damage to the human body is also inversely proportional.

Although CMD itself is not a drug, when taken in excess, it can have the effect of slowing the 'sex' drug. In other words, the user will become dependent on the 'sex' for a period of time, and as time goes by, this dependence 'sex' will become stronger and stronger, and eventually he must accept compulsory detoxification, otherwise people's 'spirit' will collapse; what is even more terrifying is that, according to the report of the medical community, people who take the forbidden 'drug' of Kalimdo, after one to three years, the body and internal organs will begin to fail, seriously shorten the normal life expectancy, and may cause a variety of incurable diseases!

Because of such terrible consequences, taking Kalimdol with a CMD content of up to 85% is almost absolutely impossible for some professional athletes, but there are also many people who have developed a perverted psychology in order to survive or pursue some kind of honor.

Someone once said: "As long as there is *** in the world, Kalimdor will not worry about not having anyone who takes it." ”

Bruce sat in Black Jack's car, chills all over his body. Actually, he hadn't heard of Kalimdor either, but Blackjack was clearly an unsuspecting insider. The only thing he is worried about now is Cheng Fei's safety.

"You...... How did you know that Cheng Fei had eaten ......? Bruce asked nervously.

"I didn't think about CMD at first, because Cheng is Chinese, and the potential for improving physical function is not great, and I am sure that the boss wants to open up the Chinese market and grab customers with old Jackson to lead the process," Blackjack said while driving, "Later, when I heard that the boss wanted Cheng to join A-Top, I felt that something was wrong." However, I didn't ask Cheng in person, so I asked him if he had drunk the drink given by the boss. At that time, I was really careless, because the CMD I drank was a liquid and the smell was terrible......"

"Huh?" Bruce's eyes widened.

Blackjack, who has always been accustomed to silence, said so many things today, and sure enough, he made the mistake of saying too much and losing it, he was slightly stunned, sighed, and continued: "Yes, I have also taken CMD......"

"That'...... Then you're ...... now," Bruce was stunned. If Blackjack had known about the dangers of Kalimdor, he shouldn't have been exposed to the drug. Moreover, looking at Blackjack's 'spirit' state, it doesn't seem to be as sluggish as he is after taking drugs, or is he not taking it long enough?

"I've quit." Blackjack said calmly, glancing at Bruce, "So, if you really want to save your friend, you'll have to convince him that you can't accept any more food and drink from your boss." I also heard later that Cheng's dinner and extra meals were delivered by Bobby in the training hall. Originally, I didn't believe it, but when I had a bullfight with him, I found that Cheng's eyes were wrong, and in just a few months, his technical level has improved a lot, especially his physical fitness, which is like two people......"

Blackjack didn't tell Bruce the whole story.

In underground basketball, it's not uncommon to take CMD, but the vast majority is focused on foreign players, that is, non-native Americans. Moreover, A-Top, a tournament that represents the highest level of underground basketball, pursues extreme stinging 'excitement' and extreme viewing 'sex', and if it weren't for the "Superman" who took CMD, it would be impossible to have the last laugh.

The reason why there are mostly foreign players is because foreign players are more utilitarian and more eager to play a world in the United States, and the dollar has the greatest power on them. The "" practitioners in the underground basketball world usually first adopt a hidden "sex" method to force them to take it, and finally know the benefits, exaggerate the amount of dollars, and try to minimize or even ignore the damage to the body, and most people agree.

There is never a shortage of people who take risks for the sake of fame and fortune.

Because of these "supermen" who take CMD, the level of A-Top events can be imagined, and it has attracted many rich and status people to watch, and because of the "pure competitive 'nature'" of A-Top compared to various professional and non-professional basketball games, coupled with "full of infinite creativity and *** three-person full-court system", even many well-known people in professional basketball, such as team owners and even famous basketball superstars, will come to watch. This is true, but as Philip said to Cheng Fei, "there will be professional basketball people who take a fancy to the players and have the opportunity to get out of the underground basketball world and become regulars" is absolutely impossible to happen. As for the reason, I think anyone with a discerning eye understands it.

Under Philip's banner, the German "Grim Reaper" and the Russian "Mad Cow" are the two candidates for the A-Top (lo and behold, both foreign players), and homegrown Americans like the streetball king Franks are basically unwilling to trade their lives for money. They see it very clearly, that is, they play around in the exhibition game and earn some dollars to 'spend' and 'spend'. Usually, they never have contact with those two "supermen", and even look down on them in their hearts.

In fact, if you want to say that the most despised, it is none other than Blackjack.

He is a typical fringe figure, always on the move. Born into a very poor black family in Brooklyn, Blackjack loves basketball, but has always been in the middle and lower reaches of his peers. Therefore, Blackjack, who hopes to make money to change his family's situation by playing professional games, has watched his dream shattered again and again. Later, under the persuasion of Philip, he took a desperate risk, took the forbidden 'drug' Kalimdo, and finally experienced the thrill of superhuman superiority, and he soon became one of the most popular players in the organization.

However, Blackjack did not completely lose his mind, he knew the damage of CMD to his body, and sometimes he was even sensitive to some physical discomfort, so he immediately feared that the outcome of the horror would come early. Due to the small amount of use at the time, the dependence caused by Kalimdo was not strong, so Blackjack successfully quit for a while.

Unfortunately, the most difficult thing in the world to quit is not drugs, but the greed of the human heart.

At Philip's extreme instigation, Blackjack was exposed to CMD again, and for several years, he had been taking Kalimdol on and off. Because, if there was no CMD, it would be impossible for him to participate in the coveted A-Top and obtain more amazing fame and fortune; However, his fear of the consequences made him constantly walk in the cycle of "drug use-drug rehabilitation-drug use".

Philip almost lost patience with Blackjack. Because of Blackjack's intermittent and vacillating attitude, his trio always failed to achieve good results in the A-Top, and they repeatedly passed by huge fortunes. What's more, it's also a sign of the industry's status, and the reason why Jackson Sr. has established himself in New York is very related to his ability to defend the A-Top title for many years in a row.

As a result, he was particularly eager to get a replacement for Blackjack. This person is now Cheng Fei.

Although Cheng Fei's physical foundation is not strong, he is also the best among the yellow race, and he can improve by leaps and bounds under the training of old Tom, and his potential surprises Philip. And Cheng Fei's 'fine' basic skills, delicate to the extreme feel, good consciousness control when stuck in the air, and posture full of oriental beauty, finally made Philip make up his mind.

For Blackjack, Cheng from distant China doesn't have any 'friendship' with him, and he doesn't need to remind him of anything. But out of a strange sense of responsibility and conscience, Blackjack pays attention to this Chinese teenager, consciously or unconsciously. Perhaps, he is unwilling to let Cheng Fei take his place. You must know that the current Cheng Fei has made Blackjack's idea of continuing to compete in A-Top come to naught......

"Where is Cheng now?" Bruce asked.

"Don't ask, I'll take you there." Blackjack said impatiently. He regretted that he had just said that he had taken CMD, which made him extremely regretful, and even felt that he should not care about Cheng Fei's affairs. He felt more and more upset, and his feet on the oil 'gate' unconsciously increased his strength......

With a shrill scream, an oncoming heavy truck desperately moved its huge body, its tires rubbing wildly against the ground, and finally bypassed Blackjack's stumbling car. The truck stopped on the side of the road, and the driver stretched out his arm from the window, cursing something and waving his hand.

"You're crazy!" Bruce shouted in panic.

Blackjack took a deep breath to calm his mind, then 'rubbed' his eyes. Just as he was looking ahead with slightly dazed eyes, in a split second, it seemed that a car had hit another car, and the car that was hit lost control and rushed directly towards Blackjack's car!

The last thing that caught my eye was a huge black object.

The last thing I heard was Bruce's screaming in shock.

Then, he didn't know anything......

********************

- Top is about to kick off, the training schedule is full, and Philip requires him to stay in the training hall for food and lodging. So, Cheng Fei deliberately took a leave of absence and continued to train with Old Tom, and in the past few days, a few times, he will also cooperate with "Death" and "Mad Cow".

What makes Cheng Fei unaccustomed is that this three-person full-court system is difficult to pay attention to tactics, of course, A-Top's 'fine' color is also here, while speeding up, to maximize the personal skills.

The time was June 10, 1998, Cheng Fei 'took time' to go back to school, but to his surprise, Bruce did not appear in the classroom, and asked the classmates next to him, and they all said that Bruce had not come for several days, and there were rumors that it was a car accident. Cheng Fei was taken aback and immediately ran out to find Lin Zixuan.

When Lin Zixuan saw Cheng Fei, she was first surprised, and then said worriedly: "I couldn't find you a few days ago, Bruce had a car accident, but fortunately there was no danger to his life." I didn't know it all along, but then he asked someone to bring me a message. ”

"Talk?" Cheng Fei asked, "What about him now?" ”

"Let's go," Lin Zixuan was also confused, "He wants me to tell you that he and his family went to Jamaica ......"

"Jamaica?" Cheng Fei's eyes widened, "Damn! He said Jamaica, but their whole family is in the United States, so they will go back anyway, and they won't wait for me to come back. Didn't you just say he had a car accident? Why did you just get into a car accident and run back to Jamaica? What the hell is going on? ”

"I don't know." Lin Zixuan was so anxious that her face was flushed.

"Oops!" Cheng Fei turned around and left, took a big stride, hurried downstairs, and then ran out of the school. At this time, he heard shouts behind him, as well as the sound of small footsteps, and when he looked back, Lin Zixuan chased after him out of breath, holding a large box of things in his hand.

"You...... Where are you going? Just come and go! Lin Zixuan said breathlessly.

"I'm going to check out Bruce's house, maybe he's not gone, or he's still in the hospital."

"It's a trip for nothing if you go, because I've been to see it a long time ago, and there is no one living in his house anymore," Lin Zixuan said, "Bruce also asked someone to give you something, I didn't take it apart, oh, give it to you!" ”

She handed over a large box in the shape of a cube, slightly heavy. Cheng Fei took it and checked it, but he couldn't feel what it was. The habit of Chinese people does not like to open gifts in front of others, so Cheng Fei is also sandwiched under his arm. He breathed a sigh of relief, maybe this gift would explain why Bruce left the United States in a hurry, and there must be at least one letter in it, right?

"Can I take a walk?" Lin Zixuan's eyes lit up, which made Cheng Fei's heart move.

Cheng Fei nodded, and the two of them detoured into a sparsely populated path with a tacit understanding. Speaking of which, Cheng Fei and Lin Zixuan haven't seen each other for a long time, and for more than a year, Cheng Fei has been busy with basketball training, especially in the past six months, due to the significant increase in training intensity, he has no 'focus' to do anything else. Sometimes when I go to school, I just chat with Bruce and say hello to Lin Zixuan. At night, Lin Zixuan also had to take care of her grandfather, and she didn't have extra time to contact Cheng Fei.

Despite this, there is a special tacit understanding between the two. Probably because they are all Chinese, the same bloodline and language, so that they do not need too much 'communication', and still maintain a warm relationship. If Lin Zixuan is his friend, then Cheng Fei's good impression and trust of this Taiwanese 'girl' even surpasses Bruce, who has been 'friends' with him for a longer time.

Which teenager is not affectionate, deep in Cheng Fei's heart, it is inevitable that he will be tempted by this lovely-looking and cute 'sexual' 'female' child, but Cheng Fei, who is introverted and 'sexual', is still difficult to take the initiative to confess, and the scars of the relationship with Yu Jing still have not disappeared. In addition, after all, he and Lin Zixuan don't know much about each other, they don't know each other's past, and the two grew up in completely different environments, so many concepts must be different. With these concerns, it was naturally difficult for Cheng Fei to express anything.

As for Lin Zixuan, she seems to have some ideas, and she is also obscure.

They talked a lot along the way, and this time Lin Zixuan deliberately talked a lot about her, which seemed to make up for the lack of 'friendship' caused by the lack of words in the past 'friendship' between the two. Lin Zixuan even said that her grandfather has always wanted to go back to Sichuan for retirement, and she also wants to take her grandfather back to Chinese mainland to live. Lin Zixuan can talk about this, it can be said that she intends to deepen the relationship between the two, and her intention is also somewhat clear - the subtext seems to mean that she hopes to go back to China with Cheng Fei to live......

And Cheng Fei always responds politely. When it came to his motherland, he didn't think about whether he wanted to go back at all, because he had lost his reason to go back. Go home, this warm word, for Cheng Fei, no longer exists.

Saying goodbye to Lin Zixuan, Cheng Fei returned to the small room where he hadn't returned for several days. It's his only home in the United States.

It was not cleaned for several days, and the house was covered with a thin layer of dust, and it was very deserted. Recalling the laughter and laughter of Bruce when he often came to play, and the gluttonous appearance of eating tomato 'chicken' egg noodles with him, Cheng Fei couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. The best friend doesn't say goodbye, which makes his loneliness in a foreign country even worse.

Luckily, there was a gift from Bruce.

Cheng Fei opened the box and peeled off the thick newspaper, revealing an orange-red 'colored' Spalding basketball, with good leather surface and comfortable particles, obviously 'fine' workmanship. Cheng Fei took out the basketball with affection, only to find that there was also an eye-catching signature on it, with "Michael Jordan" written in oil paint.

Cheng Fei was about to exclaim excitedly, when he suddenly remembered that Bruce once said that he was best at imitating Jordan's signature, and there was no doubt that this was his masterpiece! Cheng Fei once mentioned to Bruce that he lost a Jordan autograph ball, so Bruce thought of giving this gift!

Thinking of this, Cheng Fei shook his head and smiled, his heart was a long-lost warmth.

There was no shadow of an envelope in the box, but there was a strange, 'flower' 'flower' green ticket.

Cheng Fei picked it up and took a closer look, and it turned out to be a ticket for an NBA game. The number and time of the game are listed in detail above: June 14, 1998, Triangle Center, Salt Lake City, Game 6 of the Finals, Bulls vs. Jazz......
