Chapter 1: Back in Time
There is also a preface to the front, but it does not affect the reading from the first chapter)
Dang Lei stood in front of the mirror, looking at his new body blankly, feeling a little dizzy and chaotic in his head.
By the way, he should be called Gan Guoyang now.
When Gan Guoyang got up from the bed, the first feeling was that his body seemed to have grown a lot.
And after he stood up, he really felt the taste of "seeing the mountains at a glance". This body is really tall.
In his "previous life," when he was still called Dang Lei, his height of one meter seven or eight was already a bit tall, at least he would not be considered a third-class cripple.
However, in the mirror, Gan Guoyang looked at his height, and he was at least 1.9 meters tall! And he was barefoot and had no shoes on.
This made him feel a little uncomfortable, as if his arms and legs had been lengthened, became heavier, and moved much more clumsily.
And what surprised him even more was his appearance.
Gan Guoyang's face gives people the biggest feeling that it is positive.
The square face, the angular facial features, and the left and right symmetry, as if they were designed by a computer.
"Computer-designed?"
Thinking of this, Gan Guoyang's mind was excited, designed by the computer!
He leaned closer to the mirror and looked at his face carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this was the appearance of the player he designed with the function of creating players in the NBALIVE2004!
"It's... What's going on. ”
Gan Guoyang's mind is even more confused, could it be that this life back to the past was designed by himself? Or is it because of this creation that this "historic" accident was caused.
Gan Guoyang stood in front of the mirror and was stunned.
And his father saw his son looking around in front of the mirror, still in a daze, not knowing what was wrong with him.
"Guoyang, what are you looking for? Still in a daze? Gan Guoyang's father asked.
"Oh, nothing, I just think... Eh, Dad, look at my face, is there any problem? ”
Gan Guoyang turned his face and looked at his father and asked.
His father listened, approached and took a closer look, and said, "There's no problem, isn't it good, so positive, just like your father and me!" ”
As soon as Gan Guoyang heard the music, his father looked at him, and he also stared at his father, and found that it was true that the two of them were carved out of a mold, highlighting a straight character.
Although there is still some stupidity in this "positive...... Especially Guoyang's father, with those brown glasses and a straight but old white shirt, reveals a sense of old-fashionedness.
"Guoyang, everything is packed up badly, right? We're two hours away from the flight, so let's go. ”
"Eh, good Dad."
The departure time of the plane is 1240 a.m. at Hongqiao Airport.
Gan Guoyang and his father live in the state-owned Qimian Guest House on Zhongshan North Road, not far from Hongqiao Airport.
However, in the 80s, there was no subway, and at night, the buses were also out of service, and you had to take a taxi to the airport.
At that time, taxis in Shanghai were not easy to take, and they might not be able to stop a car for a long time.
So Gan Guoyang's father decided to leave early to prevent missing the flight.
The two of them checked everything in the room again to see if anything was missing. After checking the documents and air tickets again, I left the room with my luggage on my back, went downstairs and checked out.
Walking out of the guest house, there was a trace of cool wind blowing on Gan Guoyang's face, which was particularly valuable in this sultry summer.
The two of them walked down the empty street, and occasionally some cars drove by, and they always had to look back to see if it was a taxi.
Sometimes it's not, sometimes it's but there's already someone.
In the 80s, when the reform and opening up had just begun, the nightlife was still very underdeveloped, there was no KTV or nightclub, and it was generally some wealthy class who invited friends to dance at home. Even so, it is often criticized as a decadent life of the bourgeoisie.
And now, Gan Guoyang and his son are going to the United States, the first big country of the bourgeoisie, to live a decadent life of the bourgeoisie.
Gan Guoyang's father is called Gan Youwei, and he is indeed very promising.
After the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1978, the country reformed and opened up. And in the New Year of 1979, the Liberation Daily ran its first commercial advertisement.
Gan Youwei, an accountant who used to work in a small state-owned chemical factory, smelled something different.
In the end, he decided to resign from the factory and go to the sea to do business.
There was no objection in the family, Gan Guoyang was still in high school, and his wife had left him - because this beautiful woman felt that there was no hope of living with such a small accountant.
This is also one of the motivations for Gan Youwei to break his current life and start over.
In 1981, only two years later, Gan Youwei earned the first pot of gold in his life by reselling plastic products, and became the first local "10,000 yuan household"!
At this time, Gan Youwei made another amazing decision to immigrate to the United States!
At that time, in San Francisco, USA, there was a cousin of the Gan family who had immigrated during the Republic of China, and Gan Youwei decided to go to the other side of the Pacific Ocean with all the funds he earned through his help.
Gan Guoyang didn't understand anything at first, and when he was in his second year of high school, he just knew that he had to leave here and study in a different place.
He has no idea about the United States.
And now, after integrating into Dang Lei's memory, Gan Guoyang knows that the United States, the most developed country in the world, one of the two poles of the world in the eighties, is going there by himself.
What's more, it is the most developed country in basketball, with the most exciting basketball game - the NBA
"Hey~Park!"
Just when Gan Guoyang was thinking wildly, Gan Youwei finally stopped a taxi.
It's an old-fashioned Lada, a model from Russia.
Gan Guoyang got into the rather rough-looking taxi, and when he closed the door, it took almost all his strength to close it.
After that, under the drive of the Lada car, which sounded everywhere except the horn, I headed straight for the airport.
Although the Lada car is rough and does not even have air conditioning, it is very solid and very stable to drive, and in less than 20 minutes, the father and son arrived at Hongqiao Airport.
At that time, the airport was not like the 21st century, it was all glass fiber reinforced plastic mechanism, magnificent and atmospheric. Rather, it is ordinary masonry concrete, which is plastered with mosaics on the surface of the walls.
The whole building is also square in terms of appearance and structure, just like Gan Guoyang's face, there is a sense of organization.
"Shall we wait in the hall for a while, are we hungry? I'll buy you some snacks? ”
When the two arrived at the airport, it was not twelve o'clock, and there was still more than an hour before the plane took off.
"Dad, I'm not hungry."
At this time, Gan Guoyang's heart, or should it be said that Dang Lei's heart, flowed with this warm current. Although this person is not his father in his previous life, after having Gan Guoyang's body and memory, this is his father Dang Lei.
For the first time, he had a father, and for the first time, he had the care of his relatives. If you regret it, it is that his mother left his father, and he still has no mother.
"Sit, put your bags down, and squint a little longer."
It was early in the morning, and most people had already fallen asleep, and Gan Youwei was also very tired, but he couldn't sleep, so he let his son sleep for a while.
"It's okay, I've slept enough in the afternoon, I'm not sleepy."
Gan Guoyang said that he was not sleepy, and at the same time had a wonderful idea in his mind.
Since his appearance is almost the same as the player created in the NBALIVE2004, does that mean that he also has the basketball ability of that player?
Thinking of this, Gan Guoyang instantly became excited, and he would feel sleepy. He couldn't wait to find a basketball right now and give it a try, and he felt like he was full of great skills.
But there's no basketball, and there's no court.
So Gan Guoyang thought of the only way to test whether he had extraordinary basketball ability, and felt high.
Before having the memory of Dang Lei, Gan Guoyang was also a basketball enthusiast, but in the school in the small city where he lived, the basketball hoop was precious. The basketball court is not a concrete field, but a dirt field.
With his good height, Gan Guoyang is also a bully on the school basketball court, although everyone's level is very good.
Although Gan Guoyang is tall, his bounce is relatively average, and his running vertical jump is about 60 centimeters, and with his arm span, he can barely dunk.
This kind of bounce ability, in the NBALIVE2004 bounce score, should be about 40.
And the player Gump created by Gan Guoyang has a bouncing ability value of 65, so the vertical jump should be about 85 cm, and this kind of bounce should be easy to touch the height of 3.40 meters.
Gan Guoyang immediately got up from the resting chair, raised his head, and began to find a suitable height toucher.
"Eh, Guoyang, where are you going? Don't run around? ”
"I'm going to the bathroom!"
"Toilets? The toilet seems to be over there! ”
After wandering around for a while, Gan Guoyang finally saw a big clock hanging in the center of the hall.
This bell is about three meters five above the ground, if Gan Guoyang really has the bounce ability set in the game, then he should be able to reach the bottom of this bell by jumping hard.
Gan Guoyang looked around and found that there were not many people, so no one should pay attention to him. He slowly took two steps back and began to charge up.
Then he kicked his foot backwards, lunged forward, and when he got close to the bell, he leaped up with all his might, and stretched out his arms in the air to reach the high wall clock.
Nothing was touched......
Gan Guoyang's feet fell heavily to the ground, he felt a little gasping, and his heartbeat accelerated, which took him a lot of strength.
However, he really didn't touch anything.
He looked at his hand, and then raised his head to look at the high wall clock, and after jumping up just now, he found that when his hand was more than 30 centimeters away from the wall clock, he couldn't go up.
Gan Guoyang felt very disappointed, he was like a fool, he had nothing to do to reach such a high clock, and he didn't even have any hope of touching it.
Originally, he felt that no one was looking at him, but now he felt as if many people were watching him and still laughing at him. When he turned around, he found that there was no one at all.
"Guoyang, what's wrong? Where can you reach such a high clock? ”
Gan Youwei also saw his son's behavior just now, and when he came back sullenly, he said.
"It's nothing, I just want to try." Gan Guoyang was still a little depressed.
"You haven't played since the summer vacation, have you? If you practice more in the future, you will naturally jump high. Gan Youwei comforted his son.
"Hmm. I want to take a break. ”
Without getting the ability set in the game, Gan Guoyang's excitement faded a lot, and tiredness came up, he squinted his eyes and leaned back in the chair to take a nap.
………………
Gan Guoyang had a dream that he had finally gained the ability set in the NBA game.
He was drafted by the NBA and began playing for the Rockets, killing all corners of the court and winning numerous championships.
Eventually, his jersey will be retired with the Rockets. However, he chose not to retire his No. 11 jersey, but to pass it on to another Chinese giant, Yao Ming, so that he could carry his glory and open up a new future.
………………
"Guoyang! Guoyang! Wake up, it's time to check in! ”
Gan Guoyang was dreaming of the NBA, but was woken up by Gan Youwei, it turned out that it was past twelve o'clock and the security check was about to start.
Gan Guoyang rubbed his sleepy eyes, carried his luggage and walked towards the security checkpoint with Gan Youwei.
In the 80s, China's airports were all "big sheepfold" security checks. At the entrance of the terminal, there is a security checkpoint to check baggage, and then passengers enter the terminal with their luggage and go through another security check, this time in addition to checking their luggage again, and doing a full-body search.
Unlike today, the baggage check and the physical check are separated, and people can leave their luggage alone as soon as they check it in.
Gan Guoyang and Gan Youwei carried large bags and small bags, passed two inspections, entered the terminal, and found a place to sit down.
There are not too many people in the departure hall, and judging from the clothes, they are all old-fashioned. Of course, this is from the perspective of later generations, from the perspective of the 80s, and those who can fly to the United States are all amazing people.
Gan Guoyang was bored, so he took a newspaper from the bookshelf and read it.
At that time, the types of newspapers were very limited, and the most common ones were "People's Daily", "Liberation Daily", and "Xinmin Evening News" in Shanghai.
Gan Guoyang got a copy of the People's Daily, which was yesterday's, June 27.
The headline on the front page of the newspaper was "Resolution on Several Issues in the Party's History Since the Founding of the People's Republic of China," which indicated that the previous turmoil had been completely ended, that mistakes would be corrected, and that a new page would be turned in the history of New China.
Gan Guoyang closed the newspaper, thinking about the China that was about to take on a new look, but he was going to leave at this moment and go to the other side of the ocean, and he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.
When he went back to the past, in 1981, he also thought that if he could stay in China, then he could open his eyes to the sky, follow the national policy, follow the trend, engage in self-employment with his father in the 80s, buy stocks in the 90s, and speculate in real estate in the 21st century.
Fame, status, and money will roll in.
However, in the end, he figured out that in fact, he was just an ordinary person, and even if he knew the general trend of history in the future, it did not mean that he could become a successful tide in this great change.
So many heroic figures have also drowned in the great waves of history, what can he change in this small accident in history?
What's more, there is also his most important person by his side, his father. Dang Lei never had a father in his memory, and when he came to Gan Guoyang, there was no mother, only his father, so he cherished this family affection doubly.
Thinking like this, the flight from Beijing to Shanghai landed.
At that time, flights to the United States did not fly directly from Shanghai, but from Beijing, to Shanghai, then to San Francisco, and finally to New York.
The father and son immediately picked up their luggage and lined up to get ready to board.
The aircraft on this flight is the latest Boeing 747SP, a shortened version of the Boeing 747 that was introduced by the Civil Aviation Administration of China in 1980.
Through the boarding bridge, Gan Guoyang stepped onto the plane. In fact, this is the first time Gan Guoyang has taken a plane, and Dang Lei in later generations has never taken a plane.
People in the 21st century have never taken a plane, but they took a transoceanic flight in the 80s, and Gan Guoyang found it a little funny.
Soon, everything was in place, and the plane was about to take off.
Gan Guoyang looked out the window, the night in Shanghai in the 80s was a little lonely and a little bleak.
"I'll be back, my country."
