On the night of the 1st, Gan Guoyang went to Inglewood alone, and Gan Guohui and Chen Xing took a car back to the hotel.

But along the way, the more they thought about it, the more worried they became, worried that Gan Guoyang had entered the black area alone, what if something happened?

"Dead fatty, you shouldn't let your eldest cousin go to Inglewood alone! It's all black, they all have guns, and they sell drugs, and he goes in as a Chinese, so he won't be targeted? Chen Xing pushed Gan Guohui in the car and said reproachfully.

"I... I don't know how I agreed... Can... But I don't think I can refuse my big cousin... And he's weirdly scary now. Gan Guohui thought of Gan Guoyang's cold face and numb eyes, and felt a trace of discomfort in his heart, feeling that this was not quite like Gan Guoyang.

"The eldest cousin is just too competitive, he just lost a game, and it doesn't matter if he was sad at the time, people always have to look forward, alas... But that game was really weird. Chen Xing sighed.

"yes, I wanted to take a picture with the flag. But what about the big cousin now? Shall we go to him? Gan Guohui said.

"How do you find it? The car is halfway through, and besides, the two of us don't find our big cousin and take ourselves in. When the time comes, my eldest cousin will come to us, so let's go back to the hotel and wait. Chen Xing's face was full of helplessness.

The two of them stopped talking in the car, and they could only go back to the hotel and wait for Gan Guoyang to come back by himself.

Back at the hotel, Gan Guohui began to stay in front of the phone and wait for the phone to call, while Chen Xing listened to the footsteps outside the door, and went to * from time to time to see if Gan Guoyang was back.

Today's game started at 6 p.m. and ended at 8 p.m., but Gan Guohui and Chen Xing waited in the hotel until nearly 10 o'clock, but they still didn't see Gan Guoyang come back, and they didn't receive a call from him.

"Jingle bell bell ~~ Jingle bell bell ~"

Just when the two of them were anxious like ants on a hot pot, the bedside phone suddenly rang.

Gan Guohui pounced on the phone with agility beyond his body at this time, and immediately picked up the receiver.

"Hey!"

"Hey, it's Guohui, I'm Guoyang's father, is Guoyang next to me?"

As soon as Gan Guohui heard the phone, he realized that it was not Gan Guoyang, but Gan Guoyang's father Gan Youwei.

"Ahh It's uncle... Uh, cousin... My cousin is taking a bath..."Gan Guohui was speechless for a while, so he could only make up a lie and prevaricate.

"Oh, Guoyang has been getting better lately, hasn't he? Aren't you still in a daze? Gan Youwei has obviously noticed the changes in his son in the past two months, and he is worried about him all the time.

"Ah, my eldest cousin has been getting better lately, we watched the game together today, and he was in a better mood after watching the game... It's a lot better..."Gan Guohui didn't know what to say, he could only say that Gan Guoyang was better.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room, "Knock knock~".

Gan Guohui hurriedly covered the microphone and said to Chen Xing: "Go and open the door to see if it's a big cousin!" ”

Chen Xing didn't wait for Gan Guohui to finish speaking, he rushed to the door and opened the door with a "pop".

When he saw not a face but a body at the door, he knew that it was Gan Guoyang who had returned.

"Big cousin, you're back! Hurry up, your dad is calling! Chen Xing hurriedly pulled Gan Guoyang in and asked him to come in and answer the phone.

Gan Guoyang had just returned from Inglewood by taxi, and when he came to the door and knocked on the door, the door opened and he just wanted to enter, but was dragged in by Chen Xing.

As a result, his head slammed into the door frame, which was too short for him.

However, Gan Guoyang didn't care about the pain of his headbutt, he knew that he was coming back late, and his father would definitely die if he knew that he was not there.

"Hey, Daddy." Gan Guoyang hurriedly took the earpiece from Gan Guohui's hand.

"Guoyang, let's take a shower."

"Uh... Washed, washed. ”

"Guoyang, Dad told you that there will never be smooth sailing in this world, no matter how powerful and great you are, there will always be times when you suffer losses. But one has to look forward, to the good. Just like Dad, after so many twists and turns, didn't he come over in the end? As long as you are there, as long as you are good, Dad will always persevere, no matter how difficult it is. I also hope that you can come out of the difficulties and live well. ”

Gan Guoyang listened to Gan Youwei's words, and his tears almost fell.

Although this father is only half of his father, since returning to the past, Gan Guoyang and Gan Youwei have been together for a year, and in this year, Gan Youwei has done everything that a father should do and can do.

In order to provide for Gan Guoyang to go to school, he did not give himself a vacation during this year, although he was also a shareholder of Gan's restaurant.

In order to let his son have no worries about food and clothing, he never refused to spend more money on himself.

Sometimes Gan Youtang also persuaded his cousin to learn to enjoy life, but Gan Youwei always saved the money he earned, and like every traditional Chinese parent, he left his labor wealth to his children.

Gan Guoyang has long regarded Gan Youwei as his father, not to mention that he really has Gan Youwei's blood in his body.

Thinking of his father's worries and worries about him in the past two months, Gan Guoyang's heart was filled with shame.

"Dad, I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm watching the game with Guohui and them now, and I'm in a much better mood, so you don't have to worry. Winning and losing is a common thing in soldiers, and I have long since let go of losing, but because I am about to graduate from high school so soon, I feel that I am reluctant to do so. There are some things that I don't usually talk to you about, so don't worry. ”

Gan Guoyang is not completely nonsense, after all, he has been in Palo Alto High School for a year and has good friendships with many classmates.

Especially the teammates of the basketball team, it is probably a regret that they will never be able to make up for the California championship that they were not able to win the California championship with this group of comrades.

"Okay, you're okay... Oh, and I'll tell you something, Mr. Thurmond has called again to ask if you're okay now. If you have time, will you check him out? ”

Gan Youwei mentioned Thurmond again, Gan Guoyang's heart was sour, in fact, there are still many people who care about him and care about him, including his coach Mr. Bellman.

"I'll get in touch with Mr. Thurmond, don't worry."

"Okay, then you should go to bed early, and remember to come back the day after tomorrow."

After the phone call, Gan Guoyang hung up the phone, only to find that Gan Guohui and Chen Xing were looking at him blankly.

"What's wrong, Guohui?" Gan Guoyang asked.

"Ah nothing, big cousin, are you okay? Why did you come back so late? Gan Guohui asked.

Gan Guohui and Chen Xing looked at Gan Guoyang's expression when he was on the phone, as well as his reddened eyes, and felt that his eldest cousin seemed to have "popularity" all of a sudden.

It's no longer as cold and numb as before.

"It's nothing, I just went to Inglewood's basketball court, gave the players a day, and then came back happy." Gan Guoyang said, taking off his clothes and preparing to take a bath.

"You see, I didn't even sweat, my clothes were still dry." Gan Guoyang threw his clothes on the bed, lowered his head and went into the bathroom to take a bath, leaving only a majestic back for Gan Guohui and Chen Xing.

"Big cousin..."Gan Guohui listened to Gan Guoyang's casual trash talk, and suddenly felt that the eldest cousin seemed to be a little different, or the same as before.

"Big cousin has become the same again!" Chen Xing said on the side, and slapped Gan Guohui hard.

"Whew! Why are you filming me! But the big cousin does seem to be more like before, and it's still comfortable to be with such a big cousin. Gan Guohui said while rubbing his shoulders.

"I hope so, but it's a shame to think about that game now, no wonder my eldest cousin has been depressed for so long, it's just a little bit worse."

"yes, it's all to blame on that number 31! But he's really good, he scored 8 points in 1 minute, and the last ball was a stunner, alas, there was really no way. ”

"He's still as thin as a monkey, I didn't expect it to be so difficult. What's his name? ”

"Name? What kind of Miller seems to be? Miller... Miller... Oh yes, it's Reggie Miller. ”

"Reggie Miller ......" Gan Guoyang took a shower in the suffocating bathroom, thinking about this name that will become famous in the NBA in the future because of that magical "Miller moment." ”

It's just that he didn't expect that he would become the first victim so early and so quickly.

"I'm not going to let you hit me on the head again!" Gan Guoyang's hot water washed down from the lotus shower not only washed away his resentment, depression and loss, but also awakened his victory, perseverance and confidence.

In fact, Gan Guoyang admires and loves Reggie Miller as a player from the bottom of his heart, but he can't bear to be beaten in such a way, no matter who he faces.

Since then, since Reggie Miller entered the NBA in 1987, he has had countless key shots and kills, but only if he does not face Gan Guoyang's team and Gan Guoyang.

After taking a bath, Gan Guoyang dried his body and changed into the new woolen striped shirt that Gan Youwei bought for him, although this style is very popular at the moment, but Gan Guoyang, who is from the future, how to look at it and feel old-fashioned.

He turned on the old-fashioned radio on the coffee table—it looked like a big box of facial tissues.

The radio station plays Elvis Presley's "Heartbre-Hotel," an old song and one of Elvis Presley's most famous songs.

“…… We're-livein'in-a-heart-bre*-hotel, love-will-keep-you-always-young......"

Elvis Presley's magnetic voice caressed Gan Guoyang's eyelids, he felt more and more sleepy, he was really tired.

"Big cousin, sleeping?"

"Hmm."

Listening to Elvis Presley's singing, Gan Guoyang fell asleep heavily.

That night, he didn't dream of the heartbreaking game again.

He dreamed of the Esplanade, he dreamed of Skyrim High School, he dreamed of that dreamy dunk, and he dreamed of the girl's .......

…………

The next day, Gan Guoyang got up very early, because he was going to buy tickets again.

In order to prevent people from buying all the tickets in advance, there is a limit on ticket reservations at the Great Western Forum Arena every day, so as to ensure that some fans can also buy tickets on the day of the game.

For a tournament like the Grand Finals, you never have to worry about running out of tickets.

Gan Guoyang felt good when he woke up, both physically and mentally, as if he was full of vitality.

And he vaguely thought of last night's dream, so he decided to buy a ticket in the morning and go to the electrical appliance store by the way.

Arriving at the Great Western Forum Arena again, as expected, there was a long line at the ticket office.

Today is Tuesday, there are fewer people than the day before yesterday, and Gan Guoyang, a guy who stands out from the crowd, moves forward little by little in the amazement of the people around him.

"Whew, it only took an hour today." Gan Guoyang looked at his watch, he was queuing here at 6 o'clock, and now it is only 7 o'clock.

Gan Guoyang, who was holding the ticket, did not stop near the stadium or go back to the hotel, but went straight to the "Zhengmin Electric" in Inglewood.

When he ran to the door of the electrical appliance store without breathing, Gan Guoyang himself didn't understand why he rushed here in a hurry.

At this time, the electrical appliance store had already hung up the "OPEN" sign.

Gan Guoyang stood at the door, looking at the somewhat heavy brown glass wooden door, but he didn't know what to do.

It's early in the morning, who would go to the electronics store to buy something? This is not a breakfast shop.

didn't wait for Gan Guoyang to pull the door in, but the door opened by itself... No, someone came out of it.

Obviously, the people who came out inside did not expect such a large wooden stake standing at the door, and were taken aback.

"You... What do you want? ”

"I... robbery..."

After saying this, Gan Guoyang wanted to suck himself to death with a mouthful, how could he still be possessed by Fan Wei at this time?

And the one who opened the door was the girl who rushed out of the store that day and questioned Gan Guoyang about "not going to watch TV", Gan Guoyang didn't know what her surname was.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'm here to buy something." Gan Guoyang hurriedly changed his words.

"What do you buy early in the morning? Don't get in my way, I'm going to school! The girl's tone was still very impulsive, but he didn't seem to look at Gan Guoyang when he spoke, I don't know if it was because Gan Guoyang was too tall and too tired to look up.

"Uh... I want to buy, buy...'Walkman'! Gan Guoyang suddenly thought of this thing and said it in Chinese. I just don't know if there is one in this era, the 80s tape has appeared.

The girl always speaks in English, but her father is Chinese, she naturally understands Chinese, and she speaks very well.

But she'd never heard of the word "Walkman", but she knew a little bit about it.

"You mean the Walkman?" The girl asked, and she also began to speak to Gan Guoyang in Chinese.

“Walkman？ That's right, it's your Walkman! Gan Guoyang then remembered that the Walkman was called Walkman at the earliest, and it was called the Walkman when it entered China.

"Come in, I'll be in school for a while." The girl turned over and pulled the door open, plugged in the latch at the bottom of the door, and let Gan Guoyang in.

Gan Guoyang entered this electrical appliance store and looked at the large counter in the store, the various radios, heaters, electric stoves, and televisions stacked in front of the window on the shelves behind the counter, and felt like watching an old movie.

Gan Guoyang has been in the 80s for more than a year, but sometimes he always feels like he is living in a movie.

"Here, that's what you want to be a 'Walkman'." The girl took out a square box from the counter with the word "walkman" on it, and the brand was SONY.

"Is this the only one?" Gan Guoyang asked.

"Nonsense, of course the Walkman only has Sony's!" The girl glanced at Gan Guoyang.

"Oh, okay, then I'll want this. How much? "$200!"

Gan Guoyang said, taking out his wallet to pay, when his eyes glanced and found a basketball under the pile of TVs.

"Do you like to play basketball?" Gan Guoyang took out the money and handed it to the girl, and asked at the same time.

"What's your business!" The girl seemed reluctant to answer his question, and said at the exit.

"I'm just asking, I'm pretty famous on the street court at Inglewood." Gan Guoyang said.

"You're not Paro... You're not from Inglewood, how can you be famous here? The girl seemed to have said something wrong, and hurriedly changed her words.

"If you don't believe me, you can try to go around Inglewood's stadium with me?"

The girl's face showed hesitation, in fact, if it were other ordinary people, they would refuse this proposal without even thinking about it.

And now, she seems to be a little excited.

Gan Guoyang looked at the girl standing in front of him, across the counter from him, she was still wearing a peaked cap like that day.

Today she wore a half-sleeved shirt with blue floral patterns on a white background, a navy blue knit sweater over it, and a brown skirt that was knee-length underneath, hiding her slender and graceful legs.

However, her outfit really didn't match the hat on her head, and I don't know why she always wore a hat.

"But I'm going to school." The girl looked down and thought for a moment, then raised her head and said.

"No problem, I can wait for you to get out of school, I have time." Gan Guoyang said that he found that the girl did not look into his eyes no matter what she said to him.

The girl hesitated again, but quickly nodded slightly.

"What's your name?" Gan Guoyang suddenly lowered his body and asked as he stared at the girl's face from bottom to top.

Gan Guoyang could see that there was a trace of redness on the beautiful face arc, like the sunset on the skyline.

The girl was visibly startled, and her gaze made contact with Gan Guoyang's eyes as deep as Lake Michigan, so she hurriedly avoided them.

"My name is Wang Fuxi."
