After the game, Lu Fei and Gu Tang flew back to Shanghai from Seattle on the plane that night.

After getting off the plane, the two of them had some burgers at McDonald's at the airport.

Lu Fei suddenly remembered something and asked Gu Tang beside him, "Where is your ticket?" ”

"In the bag, what's wrong?"

"Give it to me."

"What do you want your ticket for?" Gu Tang took out the ticket from his bag and handed it to Lu Fei.

Lu Fei looked at the amount on the ticket and felt worried, carefully put the ticket away, and said gently: "This is the first time that the two of us have taken a plane back to China together, and I want to treasure the ticket well, this is the memory of the two of us." ”

Gu Tang was moved to buy another hamburger for Lu Fei.

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lu Fei returned to Pengcheng.

The road away from home is very far, and the way home is even farther, Lu Fei didn't believe in this sentence before, but this time he experienced it, the plane turned to the train, it took more than 20 hours, and the whole person felt like he was wasted.

Gu Tang went back to Jinling, and he returned to Pengcheng alone.

On the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Pengcheng Railway Station was crowded, and the cold wind was blowing into the dilapidated passage, Lu Fei put the hat of the down jacket on his head and walked out of the train station with his head shrunk.

"Man, do you want to take a taxi?" A taxi driver stood at the exit and greeted him.

Lu Fei nodded, and subconsciously asked, "How much does it cost to go to Duanzhuang?" ”

After going out for a long time, I blurted out Mandarin.

The driver immediately showed a sincere smile: "Duan Zhuang, it's strange to come from afar, if you want to pass through the North Outer Ring, you have to give sixty to manage." ”

Sixty?

Lu Fei frowned slightly.

The driver saw Lu Fei hesitating, and laughed heartily: "The young man is a student at first glance, so it's cheaper for you, fifty is fine, can you go?" ”

Lu Fei glanced at the bus not far away, changed to Pengcheng dialect and said with a smile: "Master Bai left from Li Wo, it costs oil, Huaihai Road is in charge, if you leave for five yuan, I will get on the bus, if you don't go, I will take all the way." ”

The driver was stunned and glanced at Lu Fei, "Tube, get in the car." ”

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Fei suspected that five yuan was too much.

The neon lights on both sides of Huaihai Road receded like a glimpse of the sky, red lanterns hung under the street lights, and fireworks rose in the distance from time to time.

When I arrived at the entrance of the community, I saw my parents standing in the cold wind in the dim light from a distance.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Lu Fei's father took the luggage with a smile, and Lu Fei's mother pulled Lu Fei's zipper under her neck.

"Whatever you want to eat, Mom will make it for you." Lu Fei's mother looked at Lu Fei and seemed to have grown taller, and said with a satisfied smile: "I made dumplings at home, and I also made your favorite braised pork, look at what else you want to eat, while RT-Mart is still closed, I will ask your father to buy it now." ”

Lu Fei had a warm current flowing in his heart, no matter how good it was outside, it was still not as good as at home.

"Just have dumplings and braised pork, don't toss it at night." He whispered, "There's one thing that might ask my mother for a favor......"

"What are you polite about, what are you talking about?"

Lu Fei touched his pocket.

"Oh, this is your daughter-in-law's plane ticket, can you report it?"

“……”

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it happened that Zhao Benshan's sketch "Selling Cars" was playing on TV after eating.

"I sold abduction last year, and I changed to selling cars this year." Lu Fei's mother cleaned up the table and looked at the two uncles sitting on the sofa.

Lu Fei's father looked at the sketch and smiled.

Lu Fei also looked at it seriously, as if even after many years, he could still remember the lines of this sketch-

Zhao Benshan: So? Okay, I'll give you a brain teaser for a three-year-old.

Fan Wei: You don't have to be three years old, you have the ability to be four years old.

Zhao Benshan: Are you okay at the age of four?

Fan Wei: Five-year-olds don't care!

Zhao Benshan: Look at it, he only mixed up at this age......

Just this joke, almost made Lu Fei's mother laugh and laughed the bowl in her hand to the ground, Lu Fei felt that the two of them were about the same IQ as Fan Wei.

Since the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Fei began to follow his mother to relatives, because his mother didn't care if she saw that the seventh aunt or the eighth aunt took out Lu Fei's NCAA play to show off, so everyone who saw Lu Fei praised him for his talent, but the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt didn't even know what the NCAA was.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Fei made a phone call to Guo Qiang, and the two made an appointment to meet at the Mining University Arena.

Before he entered the arena, Lu Fei heard the sound of a basketball hitting the floor in the arena.

It's been a few days since he came back, and he hasn't even touched a single hair of the basketball, and he can't help but itch his hands.

When I walked in, it wasn't Guo Qiang, Guo Qiang wasn't so tall, and looking at it from the back, this person was about the same height as Brandon Roy.

The man's skillful dribbling, stopping outside the three-point line, raised his hand to make a three-pointer, hollow into the net.

It's very accurate, and the shooting posture is very standard, and the rhythm of the shot is definitely a professionally trained athlete.

Lu Fei walked over, the man seemed to hear the footsteps, and when he looked back, Lu Fei realized that he was Hu Weidong.

Hu Weidong is known as "Jiangsu Flyer, Chinese Jordan" by Chinese fans. He has been in the CBA for 10 years and is the number one killer in the history of these 10 years; He won the scoring title 4 times, won the league MVP 2 times, and the CBA MVP once caused huge controversy because it was not awarded to him; He won the Asian Championship MVP, and the Koreans are afraid of his three-point shot; He ran rampant at the World Championships, with the Spaniard and American looking like a piece of mud before his flying and jumpers.

At that time, Hu Weidong was the best player in Chinese basketball.

"Hello, I'm looking for Coach Guo Qiang." Lu Fei said.

Hu Weidong glanced at Lu Fei, showed his jagged teeth and smiled: "Lao Guo just went out, or you sit next to him and wait for him for a while." ”

"Okay."

Lu Fei sat aside, Hu Weidong picked up the basketball and was still practicing shooting.

After a while, the shooting training was over, and a layer of sweat began to appear on his body, and then he looked at Lu Fei, who was sitting on the sidelines, and beckoned to Lu Fei.

"Boy, do you know how to play basketball?"

Lu Fei was stunned and nodded: "It will be a little." ”

"Then come and defend, I want to practice jamming shots." Hu Weidong said.

"Okay."

Lu Fei walked into the court, sat briefly for a few stretches, and fortunately he was wearing sportswear and basketball shoes today.

Hu Weidong didn't care, judging from Lu Fei's stretching movements, he was trained, and he came to find Guo Qiang, maybe he was Guo Qiang's student.

Guo Qiang has been leading the national youth team recently, and most of the players of the national youth team, Hu Weidong, have also seen it, and there is no Lu Fei in it, so he guesses that Lu Fei is likely to be a player from Guo Qiang's previous basketball team.

Hu Weidong held the ball, and Lu Fei took a defensive posture.

Hu Weidong's three threats are very standard, which is incomprehensible, he took a step forward with a tentative step, Lu Fei did not move, he directly dropped the ball and accelerated, trying to break through from Lu Fei's side.

At the moment when he dropped the ball, Lu Fei took a step sideways to block the route he broke through.

"Huh?"

Hu Weidong was surprised by Lu Fei's reaction speed, but he was experienced, and he turned around directly, handed the ball to his left hand, and squeezed it from Lu Fei's right hand in a different direction.

Stops, jump shots.

The moment he made a move, Lu Fei's hand also stretched out.

"Boom."

The basketball smashed at the front of the hoop, and due to Lu Fei's interference, Hu Weidong's shot was a few points shorter.

Only then did Hu Weidong begin to face up to Lu Fei, who was defending in front of him.

"Come ...... again"
