Basketball is incredibly important to me, but in our basketball journey, there are always people who will judge you.

Parents will say that they know that they play basketball every day, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you make money from basketball.

My girlfriend will say, basketball is still important to me, so if you like basketball, you have been with basketball.

Colleagues will say, you look at your height, basketball beats you or you play basketball, others play to make money, what do you play for?

Otaku friends will say how boring it is for several people to play a basketball.

I, whatever you say, anyway, I will, the charm of basketball is only understood by those who love basketball.

Sometimes basketball is really life, and if you don't play, you can really get sick.

Sweat, happiness flows in sports, passion advances, and youth flies in jumping.

Basketball can accompany me crazy, can accompany me crazy, and I can accompany basketball for a lifetime, just because I love it.

Invite former brothers and let's go play together.

……

"Zedong! It's late! Homecoming! The boy remained deaf and enthusiastically jumped on the dimly lit concrete court.

In his spare time, he would often climb over the fence and practice shooting on the court outside the villa, or go to the park across the road, because there is a field there, and although many times, the boy's ball can't get past the basket, he still imitates the posture of Michael Jordan and other stars over and over again.

His mother is a patient person, she often explains the situation on the court, the skills of the stars, and reminds her son to learn a certain move, so that he has accumulated a rich knowledge of basketball.

Diligent in practice and good at thinking, the boy's skills improved by leaps and bounds, and soon surpassed his peers.

……

A year ago, here in Nanyun City, an aunt named Zhang Lan had just given birth to a son, inheriting her surname Zhang Qingxin, of course, that was another story.

Basketball fascinates and focuses on Zhang Qingxin, which also makes him a little taciturn in personality and a maverick among his peers.

In the third grade of primary school, Zhang Qingxin started playing basketball, not out of a typical excuse of "boy, you are very tall, why don't you try to play basketball", he does love basketball.

"Qingxin, don't fight with your classmates today, go in, practice well." At the school gate, Zhang Lan touched Zhang Qingxin's head and said, she knew that the road of basketball was cruel, and if she was talented, she could naturally have no scruples.

"Got it, Mom." 13-year-old Zhang Qingxin is 1.78 meters tall, is in the 8th grade, and participated in the training of the school basketball team soon after entering the school.

Indeed, many times, Zhang Qingxin's world is only basketball, and when other people start to be busy socializing, he still practices tirelessly on the court, and whenever he feels that his movements are not right, he will practice several times until he is satisfied, which makes his teammates feel that he is a little different, and some people even think that he is arrogant and conceited.

"Senior Zhang, you're finally here, hurry up and follow me." Wei Wuya, like Zhang Qingxin, is a player with talented physical attributes and solid basic skills.

"What's wrong, Boundless."

On the campus basketball court, Huang Shaoxiang jumped up, lifted the basketball high above his head, and smashed it into the basket, whether it was the height of the jump, the degree of physical stretch, the strength, and the movements were very pleasing to the eye.

Zhang Qingxin looked up and was stunned, because the 179-centimeter, 13-year-old Huang Shaoxiang completed the split, the same height, and he could only barely buckle or even fail.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Zhang Qingxin." Huang Shaoxiang was wearing the No. 8 jersey of Zach LaVine of the Chicago Bulls, with an inch cut, very sunny and handsome.

"You know my name?" Zhang Qingxin asked suspiciously, after all, he and Zhang Lan had only moved to Nanyun City some time ago.

"Hmm!" Huang Shaoxiang nodded: "I not only know your name, but also know you very well, your basketball level is very high, let's have a fight." ”

"Okay." Zhang Qingxin took off his school uniform jacket and wore the No. 8 jersey of the Lakers Kobe Bryant, facing opponents who are taller and stronger than him, which is not what he desires the most.

"Well, it's bullfighting, five-ball...... Let's go! Huang Shaoxiang said, turned around and walked to the field.

"Wuya, help me get it." After Zhang Qingxin threw his schoolbag and clothes to Wei Wuya, he also walked to the field.

Because it was class time, there were no people playing on the basketball court except for the running class in physical education class, and of course, many people surrounded the class after the run.

"You kick off first." Huang Shaoxiang threw the ball to Zhang Qingxin and said that in this kind of competition in which one wins five goals first, Huang Shaoxiang can take the initiative to hand over the ball to Zhang Qingxin, which is also generous.

"Forget it, you come to my school, you are a guest, or you come to tee." Zhang Qingxin hesitated for a moment and passed the ball back to Huang Shaoxiang.

"Then don't regret it, be careful, don't be shaved by me." Huang Shaoxiang grabbed the basketball with one hand and walked to the three-point line.

"I'm coming!"

"Okay." Zhang Qingxin replied seriously, bent his knees, opened his arms, and waited for Huang Shaoxiang's attack.

Objectively speaking, Zhang Qingxin does not have the speed of the first step as fast as Wei Wuya, nor does he have Huang Shaoxiang's amazing jump, does not have Shen Zedong's slender arm span, and his physical fitness and talent are not outstanding.

Zhang Qingxin's defense was not very tight, but with Huang Shaoxiang's possession of the ball, he couldn't pass Zhang Qingxin, knowing that the breakthrough was fruitless, Huang Shaoxiang took a step back, jumped up, raised the basketball in his hand above his head, and threw it.

Seeing this, Zhang Qingxin immediately jumped up to defend, but the basketball had already flown over his head and flew towards the basket.

The basketball slammed into the rebound in a perfect arc in the air and spun around the basket a few times.

The basketball did not enter the basket as Huang Shaoxiang expected, but fell from the outside of the basket.

"Damn, I didn't even go in." Subsequently, Huang Shaoxiang ran to the basket to pick up the ball, and gave the ball to Zhang Qingxin on the three-point line with a hit.

Zhang Qingxin launched an attack with the ball, and the two figures chased after me on the court, close to each other step by step, and the students in physical education class were dumbfounded, both junior high school students, why is the gap so big.

Huang Shaoxiang is not very strong on the offensive end, but the defense is not leaky, at least Zhang Qingxin has no chance to get rid of him.

A junior high school student, how strong his mental quality can be, Zhang Qingxin was entangled by Huang Shaoxiang, and his skills could not be displayed at all, and his heart gradually became a little anxious.

"Hey, can you take it seriously." Huang Shaoxiang caught the flaw and made a successful steal.

"It's distracted, damn it." Zhang Qingxin only felt that in the blink of an eye, the basketball in his hand was in Huang Shaoxiang's hands.

As soon as Zhang Qingxin reacted, Huang Shaoxiang had already rushed to the basket with the ball like a bolt of lightning, jumped up slightly, stretched out his long arm, and the basketball in his hand easily fell into the basket 1:0.

The ball was converted, and the two exchanged positions, this time it was Zhang Qingxin who attacked and Huang Shaoxiang defended.

Huang Shaoxiang stared at Zhang Qingxin, and as soon as Zhang Qingxin's body moved, Huang Shaoxiang immediately followed.

"Zhang Qingxin, hurry up and shoot when it's time to shoot, shoot casually from the outside, but I will never let you in when attacking under the basket." At this time, when Huang Shaoxiang was speaking, Zhang Qingxin had already taken the ball around him and rushed towards the basket.

By the time Huang Shaoxiang reacted and ran after Zhang Qingxin, it was too late, and Zhang Qingxin easily threw the basketball into the basket again, 1:1.

Huang Shaoxiang looked at the basketball that was falling and rebounding and said: "I didn't expect you to play basketball well, the ball just now was just my carelessness, and I will definitely be able to beat you in the next four balls." ”

"Really? Then I'll see. Zhang Qingxin didn't care, he has always had more wins and fewer losses in his bullfighting record among his peers.

Huang Shaoxiang broke through with the ball, as if he really had a flame on his body, aggressive, and people didn't dare to approach, but Zhang Qingxin on the opposite side was not deterred by his powerful aura, and still responded with great calmness.

Huang Shaoxiang launched an attack, Zhang Qingxin also chased after him, not giving an inch, it was a small fight for the physical education teacher on the sidelines, but those students thought differently, after all, they had also played basketball, and basketball was really not good to play.

Huang Shaoxiang broke through again to no avail, and could only use his strong body, sure enough, physical confrontation, Huang Shaoxiang advanced all the way to the basket, jumped, threw the ball into the basket, and hit 2:1.

Zhang Qingxin squeezed near the free throw line, jumped to the basket with a jump, gently smashed the ball to the rebound, and then bounced into the basket and hit, 2:2.

"Oh my God, I didn't expect Zhang Qingxin to play basketball so well and be able to compete with Xiao Lavin."

"Yes, yes, I thought Zhang Qingxin's basketball skills were not very good, and he entered the school team by his height, but I didn't expect him to be a basketball master hidden in our middle school!" The students on the sidelines were enthusiastically discussing the game.

The ball was converted, Zhang Qingxin moved his feet, squatted half-squatting, opened his arms, and blocked in front of Huang Shaoxiang.

Huang Shaoxiang continued to dribble under his crotch outside the three-point line, of course, he was always ready to break through, after all, his three points were almost a mess.

Huang Shaoxiang pushed forward with his back, Zhang Qingxin really had no choice but to hold Huang Shaoxiang with one hand and interfere with his shooting with the other.

"Boy, what's the matter with your hands?" Huang Shaoxiang has been playing for so long, and it is the first time he has seen someone defend an opponent like this.

"Do you watch the NBA?"

"I train my jumping power every day, so I don't have that much spare time."

"Eye-sealing defense was invented by Rocket player Battier at the time, and his target was Kobe Bryant Bryant, the step-back jumper is Kobe's best scoring method, and the eye-sealing is specifically for jump shots, this method seems to work well, so you can often see people in the league using eye-sealing defense."

"No matter how much this eye is sealed, if the degree is small, it will have no effect, and if it is too much, it will call on the face of the opposing player, causing some unpleasantness."

"It's so dangerous that you still have to use it on me, if you hit me in the face, I will never let you go."

"Don't worry, rest assured, I've been able to control the heat of the eyes very well, and I usually occasionally cover it directly on the faces of the attacking players, but I've improved a lot."

Eye-sealing defense is when the defensive player uses his hand to block the offensive player's vision when the offensive player jumps, to affect the offensive player's shooting, and it is also a dangerous action, everyone try not to try, especially when you hear a snap on the opponent's face when you use it, run quickly, otherwise you should be beaten.

If the defense can shoot the ball, it can only be said that the gods are helping, but Huang Shaoxiang does not have that kind of luck and strength, and he misses the shot.

Zhang Qingxin's dribbling is just a simple movement of a few steps or so.

Huang Shaoxiang carefully observed Zhang Qingxin's movements and steps, and found that compared with himself, Zhang Qingxin's ball skills were more solid and practical.

Zhang Qingxin broke through to the inside line, pulled back with an emergency stop, and opened the distance with Huang Shaoxiang, jumped, shot, hit, 2:3.

Huang Shaoxiang's style of play is as simple as ever, simply carrying Zhang Qingxin step by step, step by step, moving into the restricted area, and then connecting a one-handed three-step small hook hand, hitting the board steadily, hitting, 3:3.

In the face of Huang Shaoxiang's scoundrel's back beating, Zhang Qingxin had no way at all.

Outside the school gates.

"This classmate, you stop, which class are you a student in? Why did you come to school without wearing a school uniform? Also, you're late today! Don't enter, stand next to him!" Director Li pointed to the mushroom head standing at the end of the late queue and said

"Teacher, you recognize the wrong person, I'm not a student of Sunshine Middle School, I'm here to find someone." The boy said embarrassedly.

"Hmph, I've been teaching for thirty years, what kind of students haven't seen it, what kind of excuses haven't heard it, you can't fool me!" Director Li glared at the young man with a serious face: "Deceiving the teacher in public, the crime will be added to the first, follow me to the teaching office!" ”

"Write down their names, and you come with me." Director Li asked the boys wearing glasses to write down the names of the classes of the students who were late, and then escorted the teenagers to the teaching office.

There is nothing to fear, the only thing you are worried about is that you will not remember your ambition and live up to the hardships you have suffered. 〗
