Chapter 1 For My Beloved Basketball

2015 was a relatively ordinary year, and it was a bit calm, even bland, compared to the turbulent 2008.

It was a day in early summer in June, and there was a "bang-bang" sound on the basketball court made of concrete.

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes slow.

"Hey, Tang Qian, Tang Qian, tell you a good news, tell you a good news!"

In the distance, a "tenor" came out.

"It's Lu Yang? What's wrong? What's the matter? "The sound of basketball in the concrete court stopped.

"I knew you were here." The visitor was a tall boy, who looked to be about 1.9 meters tall, of medium height, with a smile on his face.

"Come, guess what?" Lu Yang said with a grin.

"You love to talk about it or not." Tang sneaked a glance at him and began to shoot the basketball again.

"Hey, hey, why are you like this, it's really boring, forget it, let me tell you, Kobe Bryant announced his comeback and participated in the opening game."

"Really?" A trace of fluctuation finally appeared on Tang Qian's face, and he muttered, "Finally, are you still back again?" ”

Tang Qian's face suddenly showed a hint of a smile, and said, "I'm in a good mood today, accompany me to practice two tricks." ”

"Haha, practice, practice, who is afraid of whom, I, Lu Yang, am also from the school team, and I will be able to deal with you with one hand!" Lu Yang replied loudly.

After a fierce battle, the two sat on the ground, still sliding down their young faces with sweat.

"Happy, happy, if it weren't for my height advantage, it would be a bit difficult to win against you kid." Lu Yang said grinningly.

"But Tang Qian, your academic performance is so good, why do you like to play basketball? I see that there are nerds in school, almost none of them are mobile, they are all like 'sir'. ”

"I don't know, it's because I like it." Tang Qian's eyes flickered twice, and he said insincerely.

"Alas, buddy, don't be angry to be honest, although you shoot accurately, you are too short, and you are too bad to play basketball. The same action, if you want to complete it smoothly, it is several times more difficult than ordinary people, and it is always thankless. ”

"yes, I know." Tang Qian caress the basketball road nonchalantly.

In fact, Lu Yang's words, how could he not know? It's just that height, the natural factor occupies too much, and if he wants to change, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream, and it is impossible.

Maybe in this life, I can only love you like this.

Tang Qian looked at the basketball in his hand and said silently.

Three months later, Tang Qian died due to a heart attack, and the treatment was ineffective.

……………………

Where am I? My head is dizzy, my eyelids are heavy.

I don't know how long it took, but when Tang Qian opened his eyes again, he found himself back in that cheap little room in the university. Everything, as before, nothing was moved.

Apart from......

Wait a minute? The furnishings of this room? Tang Qian struggled out of bed violently, and then pulled the calendar hard, staring at it with both eyes.

Sure enough, today is 2008.

Well, this is not a cheap rental house for universities, but a ......

own home???

Is it crossed?

But...... So what?

Tang subconsciously looked at himself from the mirror, everything was the same as before, the height of one meter six or five, the emaciated body, except for the more immature face, everything seemed to have no change.

He's still him.

An ordinary Tang dive.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "I've crossed over, are you letting me come back again?" ”

"If so, what's the point?"

"I still can't play basketball."

"I still can't play the basketball I love!"

"What's the point???

On this day, Tang Qianxin saw in the news that the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Boston Celtics and lost the fifteenth championship in team history with a total score of 2-4.

The two-month summer vacation passed in a flash, Tang Qian's family was an ordinary person, and his parents were low-level salarymen, but he still squeezed into the key high school in Y City, Chengnan High School with excellent results.

On September 1, 2008, the day of the opening of Seongnam High School, the old students returned to the classroom with full energy after a summer vacation. And the new students in the south of the city are also talking to each other, half cowardly.

High school, for students who have just escaped from junior high school, it is full of desire and curiosity.

Young and splendid, passionate like a flower.

And on this day, Seongnam High School ushered in a special person.

He is Tang Qian.

"How do I get to the basketball court?"

"Huh? Oh, and our school has two large outdoor basketball courts, an indoor basketball court, the outdoor basketball court is in the northeast, and the indoor basketball court is two hundred meters away in the west corner. The answer to Tang Qian's words was a delicate girl, he wore a ponytail, cloth shoes and a long skirt, and looked very pure. However, Tang Qian didn't look at her more, and left after listening.

"Huh...... The indoor basketball court in our school is generally not open to outsiders, and only the school team can go in for training. Seeing Tang Qian walking towards the west corner of the school, the girl kindly reminded.

"Oh? Really? And this regulation? Tang Qian stopped and frowned.

"Then it seems that we can only go to the outdoor basketball court to practice first."

"Hey, you, you wait, look at the notice in your hand, you're a freshman, and you're going to queue up over there when you register." The ponytail girl looked up at Tang Qiandao.

"I know, but there are too many people now, I'll come back later, anyway, it's okay to be early or late." Tang Qiandao.

"You, what's your name?" The ponytail girl saw that Tang Qian was about to leave again, and couldn't help but blurt out.

Tang Qian frowned and looked at the other party, and said in a low voice, "Tang Qian." ”

"Oh, hey, you wait, I, my name is Zhou Zhiru!"

A week later, the Seongnam School basketball court.

"Hey, have you heard, there is a monster in our school, and the masters of the entire field have been overturned by him."

"What's more, I heard that this man is tall and big, and he is very vicious!"

"Do you say, will he come today?"

"I guess so, every time he gets out of school, he'll come over and play for an hour."

"Haha, I came here today, sacrificing the time of picking up girls on the Internet, just to see the true face of this monster! Don't let me down! ”

"Cut, I won't disappoint you, people like him, even if they only see it once, they will be impressed."

Ten minutes later, a burly and huge figure appeared on the outdoor basketball court in the south of the city.

As soon as this person appeared, the eyes of the entire outdoor basketball court were attracted as if they were nothing.

One hour.

"Look, do you see it, is it a monster?"

"I'm still human, am I still human? Is he really a high school student at our school? ”

"Nonsense, I've inquired about it, this person is only a freshman in high school, and he just came to our school this year."

"That's good, with such a monster here, there may be hope for our school's basketball tournament this year. Otherwise, I will be abused and killed by other schools every year, which is simply miserable, and I can't bear to look at it directly! ”

……………………

"Tang Qian, I am the coach of the school team in the south of the city, and I solemnly invite you to join our school's school team and win glory for our school."

……

"Alas, what? No, no, no! Tang Qian, this kid is smart and excellent, with top grades, and he will definitely be the material of a key university in the future, how can he let him play basketball? Isn't that a tyrannical thing? Absolutely not! I disagree! ”

"Oh, Mr. Chen, I also know Xiao Tang's results, the third place in the city in the middle school exam, but it is precisely because of this that he needs to develop morally, intellectually and physically. Teacher Chen, I don't don't understand your intentions, but the purpose of our school is not to cultivate nerds and develop in an all-round way, but to be responsible for students! ”

"Director, I'm ......"

"Okay, okay, Mr. Chen, this matter is settled, Tang Qian joins the school team, if there is really a significant decline in grades, it is not too late. Okay, okay, I still have something to do here, so Mr. Chen, please take care of yourself. ”

……

In the following three years, the national basketball league of Chengnan Middle School was the first place every time and never fell off.

And Tang Qian, the devil in the south of the city, has gradually become a well-known name in Y City and even in the whole country.

……

On the eve of the college entrance examination, Zhou Zhiru, who has been promoted to a freshman, stood quietly outside the gate of Chengnan High School, and looked inside from time to time, looking at it, as if she was waiting for someone.

"Hey, look at you, is that Zhou Zhiru, one of the former school girls in the south of the city?"

"Wow, it's really her, after college this year, her whole person seems to be beautiful in a few dimensions, tsk, look at those thighs, look at that ......"

"Alright, you lewd dead monkey, don't you know whose woman she is?"

"Uh...... Okay, okay, since it's Brother Tang's horse, then I can only endure the pain of cutting love, alas! ”

"Alas, you girl, look at it, the Lord is here."

"Alas, if only I were Tang Qian."

"Just you? It's useless to go back and have sex for another 500 years! ”

Seongnam High School, outside the gate.

"Huh? What are you doing here? Tang Qian saw Zhou Zhiru waving at him, and frowned slightly.

"What? Can't I come? Big Stars! Zhou Zhiru heard Tang Qian's words and said with a slight dissatisfaction.

"It's not, it's just that you've been here too much, and you've gossiped a lot, which is not good for you." Tang Qian said.

"What's bad for me? I don't think it's okay for you? Is it in the way of your womanhood at school? Zhou Zhiru said.

"Not really." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he said, "Forget it, you can do whatever you like." ”

"Hey, you, why haven't you changed anything in three years? It's still a cold wood! Zhou Zhiru saw Tang Qian pulling out his legs and leaving, and immediately said angrily.

"What? Is there anything wrong with you? It's okay, I'm going to go home and do strength exercises. ”

"You...... Hum! It's so embarrassing to be angry with you! Forget it, Miss Ben came to you this time to ask about your college choice. Zhou Zhiru looked at Tang Qiandao.

"The college entrance examination is not over, how do I know how many points I can score and what school I can go to?" Tang Qianqi is dead, and he doesn't pay for his life.

"Hmph, who in Chengnan High School doesn't know your Tang Qian's ability? Based on your grades, the famous schools in China are still up to you? And what I pretend to be! Zhou Zhiru wrinkled her little nose and said, "Hey, seriously, where are you going?" Is it the same school you told me about last time? ”

"Well, still." Tang Qian nodded.

After hearing Tang Qian's answer, Zhou Zhiru was obviously relieved and said, "That's good, that's good, don't go home at night, I'll invite you to a big dinner." ”

"That's not good, my mother must have already cooked the meal, and it will be wasted if I don't go back."

"Hey, you! Forget it, if you don't say pull down, I'll call my aunt myself! ”

"You ......"

"Lalala, who told you that you don't have a mobile phone, hahaha!"

Zhou Zhiru smiled proudly.

June 7 and 8, 2011, National Unified Examination.

"Hey, son, eat slowly, it's still early!" A middle-aged woman in an apron "chattered".

"Mom, I'm going to do strength training after eating, and I'm running out of time." Tang Qian said vaguely as he stuffed food into his mouth.

"You kid, what day is it today, what strength training are you doing, can't you relax for a day?" The middle-aged woman pursed her lips and said.

"Mom, strength training is something that you have to stick to every day, otherwise the effect will be poor." Tang Qian continued to feast.

"Practice, practice, practice, you know practice, you are already like a little calf and still have to practice, I really don't know how you are satisfied." Tang Mu snorted.

But after all, she is still very supportive of her son's investment in this area.

After all, in her opinion, there is nothing wrong with playing basketball and being able to grow and exercise. Besides, although her son has invested a lot of time in basketball in the past three years, his results have not been lowered, in this case, she really has no reason to object.

Besides, the room full of trophies and medals, don't they all show that his son is still playing good basketball?

At the end of June, the college entrance examination results were released, and Tang Qian was admitted to Xiangcheng University in T City as he wished.

Xiangcheng University, founded after the founding of the People's Republic of China, is a strong participant in the CUBA University Basketball League every year. Why say a strong player? Because although the basketball enthusiasm and enthusiasm of this school are good, it is a pity that it is a comprehensive cultural school, and the sports foundation is a little worse, but in recent years, through special recruitment and other means, the basketball team of Xiangcheng University has improved, and it is also showing a steady upward momentum in the CUBA league.

Of course, Tang Qian did not choose this school because of the above reasons.

first

It is because Xiangcheng University is his former alma mater.

second

Here he will run into Lu Yang.

third

It is also the most important point that Tang Qian wants to start again here, and then get closer to his goal step by step.

……………………

"How? New school habits? Zhou Zhiru stood beside Tang Qian and asked.

"It's fine." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he looked at the other party again and said, "No wonder you want to ask me if I came to Xiangcheng University, it turns out that you are a student of the University of Science and Technology next to you." ”

Speaking of this science and technology university, there are also some characteristics, because it seems that no matter which province, there is a school with such a name.

I don't know if it's an accident or an inevitability.

To get back to the point, due to the memory of the previous life, Tang Qianxiangcheng University hardly had any discomfort, and quickly integrated into the entire campus. Of course, he also became good friends with Lu Yang as a matter of course.

"Preparing to dominate the arena again today, right?" Lu Yang is still the same as in the previous life, smiling and optimistic.

"Well, the varsity team selection is coming soon, and I have to keep it in shape." Tang Qian nodded.

"Oh my God, what kind of state do you have to maintain like this, it's like a fighter in a plane, and the three of you can't suppress one of them together!" Lu Yang exaggerated and authentic.

"That's because this is a wild field, and everyone is strong in attack and weak in defense, so it looks like this." Tang Qian was very sober and was not "confused" by Lu Yang's words at all.

"Hey, you're a real person, it's really boring! Forget it, let's play! Lu Yang picked up the basketball and said.

On September 25, the new gymnasium of Xiangcheng University officially opened the curtain of the school team selection.

A middle-aged man with a sporty flat head looked at the field and said, "Lao Liu, how are the seedlings this year?" ”

A middle-aged man with a beer belly beside him thought about it and replied, "It's okay, it's okay, there are a lot more people participating in the selection than in previous years." ”

"Many? What's the use of more? A basketball team can only hold a maximum of 12 people, and if you play a game, you only need 5 people, so what's the use of telling me to have so many people? The middle-aged man with a sporty flat head said without being salty.

"This, Cheng Jiao, how can you say that? I think a few of them are good, they're tall and handsome. ”

This person's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the coach surnamed Cheng, he looked at those people and snorted coldly: "Gao? Lao Liu, more than 1.8 meters is indeed tall among ordinary people, but in the basketball world, he can only be regarded as a small man, don't you understand? And what is the use of being beautiful when you play basketball, you can score points, grab boards, and block hats if you look good? ”

The beer-bellied man was so blocked by the other party that he couldn't speak, but even if he was resentful, he couldn't show it, otherwise once he angered the master next to him, the principal would be angry, and he would definitely suffer it. Thinking of this, the beer-bellied man couldn't help but miss the last wolf coach, the kindness and docility of the people, compared with this master, it is really a heaven and an earth.

However, he has also done his homework in the name of this new coach. The former provincial team coach of Province H, the former assistant coach of the national coaching corps, these fame alone are enough for him to ignore himself, not to mention that he heard that this person was personally found by the principal, and when the two are combined, he will never dare to offend.

Cheng Jianguo, a six-year-old man, retired from the front line at such a young age because of his philosophy and personality. But for basketball, he also really likes it, although he can't go to the national team and provincial team to work, but as soon as he has the opportunity, he went to college again. This year is his third year teaching at Xiangcheng University.

For the beer belly in front of him, he Cheng Jianguo is 10,000 things to look down on, except for the temporary job to fish for oil and water, he doesn't know a little basketball common sense at all, and the principal also told himself that he is an old man who has been working here for almost ten years, which is simply funny. But because the relationship between this Liu Dong's family is quite good, even if Cheng Jianguo has always wanted to change, he can't do it.

The relationship between the two eased for a while, and Liu Dongcai squeezed out a smile and said: "No, there are a few good ones in this year's special enrollment, you can take a look." ”

"Well, I've seen a few of them, and they have a good physical foundation, but the time to play basketball is too short, and they should have practiced track and field before, right?" Cheng Jianguo said slowly.

"Yes, yes, Cheng Jiao is Cheng Jiao, sure enough, his eyes are spicy, and he is heavenly." Liu Dongfu said with a smile.

Cheng Jianguo shook his head slightly, he knew that it was no wonder that Liu Dong was no wonder, after all, the general trend of the whole of China is like this now. Most of the sports students come from the track and field program, but there are very few real basketball students.

This is the general trend in China, and he can't blame others.

Chinese, in their bones, still think that reading is the last word.

It's simply unrealistic to imagine a basketball genius like a spring on the other side of the ocean.

Alas, it is not easy to keep last year's ranking by relying on these people alone!

Hey? This boy, good, so tall.
