The fiasco against "cancer" at the Binhai Stadium made Gan Guoyang, who returned to Gan's restaurant, a little depressed. Although he has determined to strengthen himself and be a good insider, how can he do it?

It's not enough to just play on the court, the actual combat accumulates experience, and the basic skills and basic physical fitness require a lot of training.

It's impossible to find a personal trainer, and if you want to join the basketball team, you have to wait until the high school you transfer to starts, and the only thing you can do is to strengthen your body and make yourself stronger!

"Guoyang, what kind of ball is playing today? Why don't you seem so happy? It was not yet time to eat, and Gan Youwei, who had been promoted to the master of the spoon, asked with concern when he saw his son come back with a sad face.

"I lost the game today, I lost so badly, I didn't even score a goal." Gan Guoyang sighed and said, thinking of this, he felt panicked in his heart.

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and losing miserably shows that your strength is not enough! But that's the way to have a goal, to catch up. Gan Youwei is also a person who has experienced setbacks, and after several accidents, he came to the United States to start a new life. So he hopes that his son can also turn his sadness into strength and move forward in the face of such a small setback.

"Well, I got Dad." After coming to the past and the memories of the two lives were united, Gan Guoyang found that his feelings for this father were getting deeper and deeper, which was probably to make up for the regret of having no father and no mother in the "later life".

"Let's eat first, I still have to work after eating, it's almost time to eat." Business has been very busy lately. "With Gan Youwei's master, the dishes are richer, the taste is more authentic, and the business is naturally getting better and better.

Gan Guoyang's appetite is not particularly good, and he feels that he can't eat it after a few bites of rice. When everyone had finished eating, he packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and went back to the upstairs room to rest.

Lying on the bed, he still felt very depressed, Gan Guoyang is not a person who is easily defeated by setbacks. Whether it is the original Gan Guoyang or the later Dang Lei, because of life, they all have a tenacious character and an optimistic spirit.

But in the matter of winning or losing basketball, Gan Guoyang experienced an extremely strong desire to win in his heart, and he didn't notice it before this game, but he just felt that he liked basketball very much and liked the feeling of winning.

But this competition made Gan Guoyang feel so disgusted with defeat for the first time, he felt that it was a shame, and this shame deeply stung his self-esteem and pride.

He couldn't lie in bed anymore and started doing push-ups in his room. The conditions here are limited, and there are only some simple ways to pass the time.

After forty, he couldn't hold on any longer, and he lay down on the bed panting, looking at the ceiling in a daze.

"What should I do?" Gan Guoyang asked himself.

………………

The next day, Gan Guoyang still got up early and went downstairs for breakfast, and then prepared to wait for Gan Guohui to come and play ball together. Although I lost badly yesterday, I still have to fight, otherwise there will be no progress.

However, Gan Guoyang's porridge was almost finished, and Gan Guohui still did not appear.

"Uncle Cousin, isn't Guohui coming today?" Gan Guoyang asked.

"Oh, Guohui is not here today. His mom asked him to go to a community event, and he can't come and play with you these days. Gan Bingguang replied.

In the United States, high school students have to participate in various community and social activities during the summer, so that they can have enough bargaining chips when applying to various universities. Otherwise, you will not be able to apply to a good university based on the test score alone.

After the summer vacation, Gan Guohui will be in the twelfth grade (senior year of high school), and he will soon graduate from high school and enter university, so this internship is also very important, and he has to put basketball on the table first.

"Guoyang, today you just go to the city of San Francisco for a walk, I've been playing basketball for so many days, and I haven't been to the United States to take a good look." Gan Youtang suggested.

Gan Guoyang thinks this suggestion is good, he tossed for a long time last night, and he didn't make a name for himself, so it's better to go out for a walk today, and the training matter can be solved slowly later.

After eating, Gan Youwei gave his son fifty dollars and let him go out alone.

"If you can't find your way, remember to take a taxi! Don't spend all fifty dollars all at once, save some money for a ride! At Gan Youwei's instructions, Gan Guoyang left Chinatown alone and walked on the streets of San Francisco.

Because of the short history of the United States, all cities have developed in the past 100 years, so they are well planned. Especially San Francisco, the city is very neat and clean.

Walking on the streets of the United States in the 80s, Gan Guoyang felt like China today. It's just that the vehicles on the streets are more old, and there are a lot of trams. At that time, American cars were also like matchboxes, not as beautiful and streamlined as they are today.

But for Gan Guoyang, this level of prosperity can't frighten him, and he is also a person who has spent time in a big city in the 21st century.

So, instead of looking left and right like a hillbilly going into town, he focused on his basketball.

When he came to San Francisco, Gan Guoyang wanted his father to buy him a basketball, and Gan Youwei quickly fulfilled his promise and bought Gan Guoyang an authentic Spalding basketball.

He also took this basketball with him when he went out, dribbling the ball as he went. No matter how you cross the street or go up the stairs, you never hold the basketball in your hand. A few times the ball fell and rolled to the side, he ran to pick up the ball and was almost hit by the car, and was treated with a rough "**" by the driver.

However, there are still many people on the street, and he can't do all kinds of actions unscrupulously, so he can only try his best to maintain stability. Sometimes when you come across a trash can or a telephone pole, you treat them as defensive players and turn around after practice. Although this always attracts strange glances from passers-by, who think it is a neuropathy.

Slowly, I left the street, and there were fewer cars and people on the road. He can finally run on the road with the ball on his back.

San Francisco is a mountain town with a lot of ramps, some of which are very steep. Gan Guoyang practiced dribbling and sprinting when going uphill, and practiced dribbling to change direction when going downhill.

Sometimes when the ball accidentally comes out of his hand, it will roll all the way down, and the harmful Gan Guoyang chases after the ball butt. This acceleration and deceleration, uphill and downhill, of course, is very tiring.

But Gan Guoyang enjoyed it, because he found that through this kind of training, his dribbling skills, which were not very proficient, began to slowly improve, and he gradually developed a sense of basketball, which is the so-called ball sense.

If a person wants to control the ball in his hand, he should establish a special feeling with the ball, so that it can be like an obedient puppy, leashed in your hand.

In this way, Gan Guoyang started from Chinatown, dribbled all the way south, through Union Square, past Market Street, to the south of the market, and dribbled and ran back and forth in it for a whole morning.

"Huh---- I seem to be a little hungry." Gan Guoyang, who had been running all morning, immediately felt hungry after stopping, and there was a gurgling sound in his stomach.

At this time, he thought about finding a restaurant to fill his stomach. Because the Ganjia restaurant must be very busy now, and going back by himself will only cause trouble to the store, so he decided to solve the lunch around here.

He looked at the street signs and found that he had arrived at a place called Folsom Road.

"Where is this? Are there any restaurants here? Gan Guoyang muttered in his heart as he walked, and always paid attention to the signs of the houses on the side of the road to see if there were any signs that said "restaurant" and "diningroom".

That's when he saw a sign that said "Barbecue".

"Barbecue?" When Gan Guoyang saw the barbecue, he couldn't help but think of the days when he ate barbecue with his classmates at the university gate in his later life. And after arriving in the United States, I eat Chinese food in Ganjia Restaurant every day, although it is exquisite and delicious, but sometimes I don't feel too enjoyable.

"I just want to gain weight and muscles now, and it's better to eat barbecue!" Gan Guoyang is still thinking about gaining muscle for himself. To train strength with long muscles, it is three points to practice and seven points to eat, to feed pigs without eating, and to lose weight without eating.

So, Gan Guoyang walked into this barbecue restaurant with a basketball.

"Hello! Do you have a meal? How many are there? The waiter at the restaurant asked enthusiastically when he saw someone coming in. The waitress was a black girl.

"Well, yes, it's just me." Gan Guoyang looked inside the restaurant, he was the first guest of the day. It's not yet time to eat, and he's a little early.

"Okay, you can sit down, there's a menu on the table."

After Gan Guoyang sat down, he ordered a beef set meal, he wanted to eat it well. In the United States in the 80s, fifty dollars was a great way to eat.

Because he came early, the meat was served quickly, and the waiter asked if he needed to help him roast, while Gan Guoyang had to come by himself, he liked the fun of eating by himself.

The quality of the meat is very good and fresh, and unlike the grilled meat that he ate in later generations, it is very thin and small, and the beef here is thick and square-shaped, and it takes a little longer to roast, but it is also very fragrant.

Just when Gan Guoyang was feasting, the door of the restaurant opened again, did there be another guest?

"Good noon boss, why are you here today, there is no one in the restaurant yet." The waitress saw someone talking, but she shouted "Boss".

“Boss？ Is it the owner of the restaurant here? Gan Guoyang heard the voice, swallowed the beef in his mouth, and looked up to see the owner of this barbecue restaurant.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, it scared Gan Guoyang a lot.

He saw a huge black tower standing in the doorway! A real giant tower, compared to him, the long legs of "cancer" and George have turned into little black beans.

He was dressed in a plain outfit with a plaid short-sleeved shirt underneath a pair of old-fashioned brown-and-yellow corduroy trousers and a pair of oversized black leather sandals on his feet.

He had a thick beard on his face, but his forehead and front top were bald and shiny. The cheekbones of the face are high, the nose is large and flattened, the eyebrows are very thick, and the whole face feels very serious, but with a hint of kindness.

But what surprised Gan Guoyang even more was the arms exposed under the cuffs of the giant's short-sleeved shirt. For the first time, Gan Guoyang had the feeling that "his arms are thicker than your thighs".

Moreover, the giant's arms were not fat and stout, but like an ancient vine, wrapped in strong muscles, and with his black skin, it seemed to shine with a cold glow of steel.

Gan Guoyang looked at this giant, and a word flashed out of his mind, "devil muscleman"!

He stared blankly at this devil muscular man, and even forgot to turn over the roasting beef, he thought that if he was as strong as this boss, what kind of long legs would he play, George wouldn't play?

And the boss also noticed Gan Guoyang, because there is such a customer in the store now, and this customer is still a yellow-skinned boy, and he is staring at himself.

"Hey there, your meat needs to be flipped over, or it's going to burn." The boss spoke, reminding Gan Guoyang that his beef was already smoking on the iron plate.

"Huh? Oh......" Gan Guoyang reacted and immediately turned over the beef, but one side was already a little charred.

At this time, the boss walked forward and came to Gan Guoyang. Gan Guoyang immediately felt a huge sense of oppression, as if the dark clouds in the sky were covering the sun.

"The barbecue in my store tastes okay, right?" The boss asked, and sat down across from Gan Guoyang.

"Well, it's very good, it feels great." The boss sat down, and Gan Guoyang instantly felt a lot less pressure.

"Have you been here before?" The boss asked again.

"No, I just arrived in the U.S. last month and live in Chinatown, and this is the first time I've eaten at a restaurant outside."

"Oh! It turned out to be a friend from China, and it was really welcome. I like Chinese food very much. "The boss seems very welcoming, and in the United States, if you see two people having a particularly good conversation, they are not necessarily friends, maybe just strangers.

"My dad is a chef, and if you want, you can try his dishes at Gan's Restaurant in Chinatown."

"Haha, Ganjia Restaurant, I've heard that there seems to be a new chef there, and it is said that the dishes are very good."

"Yes, that's my dad."

"Oh! Then I'll definitely try it when I have time. ”

"By the way, you brought a basketball here, do you like basketball very much?" The boss noticed the basketball at Gan Guoyang's feet.

"Yes, I came all the way from Chinatown to this place today, so that's why I ate here."

"Oh, what a hard kid. I used to be like you, carrying a basketball everywhere. ”

"Do you know how to play basketball?" Gan Guoyang listened to the boss's words, and his eyes lit up.

"A little." The boss smiled and nodded.

"Then you must be amazing!" Gan Guoyang looked at the boss's thick arm and said, "How did you train so strong?" ”

"Haha, only rely on unremitting efforts and a reasonable diet."

Sure enough, there are no shortcuts to strength exercises.

Soon, Gan Guoyang finished eating the barbecue and patted his stomach with satisfaction, "It's full!" ”

"Finished eating? Do you want to go to basketball in the afternoon? ”

"Yes. But two of my friends have gone to community events, and I'm the only one who can only practice shooting and dribbling. Gan Guoyang thought about going to the old place in Union Square in the afternoon to practice alone.

"Why don't you play with me? There's an open space behind my shop with a basket. The boss made the suggestion.

"Yes!" Gan Guoyang happily accepted the proposal, thinking that maybe he could ask this boss for two tricks.

So after Gan Guoyang settled the account, he followed the boss out of the restaurant, turned left and walked a few steps, and saw a wire door. Walking in, there is a concrete clearing with a basketball hoop erected inside. Just like the site in Union Square, there are no lines and it's not a formal venue.

"Well, young man, how are we going to play? Oh, I'll take my shirt off first. As he spoke, the boss unbuttoned his shirt and took it off, wearing only a small vest inside.

At this time, Gan Guoyang discovered that this boss not only had thick arms, but his entire torso was like an ancient Greek sculpture, with explosive muscles. Although some parts can be seen with some fat, after all, this boss should be forty years old, but it does not affect the perfection of the overall figure.

Gan Guoyang was stunned for a while, shocked by the boss's strong body. However, he immediately came back to his senses and secretly determined that he should also work hard and strive to practice like this boss!

"I want to practice my inside skills! Please point me to back-to-back singles and interior defense! ”

In this way, Gan Guoyang's special training in the barbecue restaurant officially began today.
