In January and February 1982, the weather in the United States began to warm from cold to cold. California's already modest snow is slowly melting, and the warm monsoon winds blowing from the Pacific Ocean are beginning to bring the breath of spring.

The 1981-1982 California High School Basketball League regular season is coming to an end, and high school teams at all levels and divisions are about to complete their schedules and the team rankings are gradually becoming clearer.

On February 28th, the last day of February, at midnight, there is still more than half an hour to enter March. In a movie theater in San Francisco, this year's hit "Conan the Barbarian" is being released.

This violent action film starring Schwarzenegger took the world by storm and grossed more than $100 million at the box office, which was a remarkable achievement in the eighties. The film also began Schwarzenegger's path to action superstardom.

At this time, in a corner of this movie theater, there were two tall figures, nestled on the bench in the back row, looking at the fluorescent big screen, their eyes unblinking.

This movie theater is one of the earliest in San Francisco, so the venue is not large and the facilities are a bit old. The front rows are all individual leather seats, while the rear rows are long wooden benches.

"Gan, do you think the sword in Conan's hand is real? You don't use real weapons as props when making movies, do you? One of them asked softly, while the other was obviously Gan Guoyang.

"It must be fake, the sword used in the fight should be a prop made of some special material, but when I take a close-up, it seems to be a real sword." Gan Guoyang also replied softly.

As a time-traveler who has seen all kinds of incredible high-tech movies in the 21st century, the simulation props in "Conan the Barbarian" are just a small trick in Gan Guoyang's eyes. However, the big snake model in the movie scared Gan Guoyang, but he didn't expect that the level of model production in Hollywood was so high at this time.

And the person who sits next to Gan Guoyang and watches movies intently while occasionally asking questions is Wilt Chamberlain.

Chamberlain, who played two and a half seasons in San Francisco, also retired his No. 13 jersey with the Warriors. Therefore, he still has a lot of affection for the city of San Francisco.

Although he mainly lived in New York after retiring from the army, running his nightclubs and real estate and stock businesses, this time he went to San Francisco to spend Christmas with old friends, and met Gan Guoyang, a "little friend", he decided to stay here for a while, and this stay stayed until the end of February of the following year, and it was about to be March.

Because Chamberlain was there, Gan Guoyang would take time back to San Francisco every weekend to play with Chamberlain at the Big Nate Grill, and of course, the most important thing was to learn the step-back jumper.

Heading into January, the California High School League has entered a more intense period of competition, with many teams fighting hard to qualify for the state championship, including the Palo Alto Vikings.

The Vikings' goal isn't just to get into the state bid, though, to get into the California Basketball Championship as the first place in the region!

In this year's California Basketball League, more than 200 teams will enter the "playoffs," which means they are eligible to compete for the state championship.

There are five levels of high school in California, with Palo Alto High School in its second division, a division of schools with between 1,600 and 2,000 students, which will have 56 teams in the state tournament.

The 56 teams will compete in two separate regions, the Southern California District and the Northern California District, to determine the Southern California Champion and the Northern California Champion, who will compete for the final state championship.

Of course, the same is true for other districts, which means that there will be five state champions, which is unique among all states in the United States.

Now, the Vikings are on their way to the state championships, or rather, they are already preparing for the state championships.

In the 32 games that have ended, they have an astonishing record of 29 wins and 3 losses, and have already locked up the top spot in the division.

What's even more amazing is that after Gan Guoyang's return, the Vikings only lost one game, and the reason for losing that game was that Gan Guoyang ate a hamburger before the game and had a bad stomach and couldn't play normally......

In the 27 games he played, Gan Guoyang averaged 28.5 points, 14.9 rebounds, 4.1 blocks and 3.5 assists per game, which can be said to be unique in the entire California region.

If it weren't for his status as a yellow race, he would have been on the covers of major basketball magazines by now.

By early March, the final regular season game will be over, at which point all teams that finish first in the division will go straight to the state championships, and the remaining teams will be selected by the committee. Once the roster is finalized, the schedule will be based on the geographic location of the high school.

Before the official championships, teams will have about two weeks off until mid-March, when the California Basketball Championship will begin with the NCAA college basketball tournament, when the whole of the United States will be plunged into a "March madness" of basketball!

The movie gradually came to an end with the arrival of the climax, at which time Chamberlain stood up from the back row and said to Gan Guoyang next to him: "Let's go first, otherwise there will be trouble again if there are too many people later." ”

Chamberlain's figure is so eye-catching that he will be recognized wherever he goes, and he will inevitably be pulled over by passers-by to take a group photo. Chamberlain, on the other hand, was a warm and generous person, rarely refusing the demands of the fans, and it was difficult for him to walk the streets of San Francisco.

So today Chamberlain and Gan Guoyang picked such an old small movie theater and chose to come over to watch the movie at midnight, and they also sat in the back row, and delayed admission by five minutes. Now they had to leave early.

"Alright, let's go." Gan Guoyang nodded, and then left the screening hall with Chamberlain risking his waist like a thief.

Fortunately, there were no Chamberlain fans among the staff at the cinema, so although they saw Chamberlain and Gan Guoyang's eyes widen, they didn't run up to ask for autographs.

The two left the cinema smoothly, and Gan Guoyang got into Chamberlain's specially customized golden Lamborghini "Searcher" and drove down the street at midnight in San Francisco.

Chamberlain turned on the cassette recorder in the car, and the surround sound of the whole car began to waft out a melodious singing:

"If-you're going-to-san-francisco,

Be-sure-to-wear-some-flowers-in-your-hair. ）

If-you're going-to-san-francisco

You're-gonna-meet-some-gentle-people-there………… (You're going to meet some friendly people there) ............"

"It's Scott McKenzie's 'San-Francisco,' and I love it." Chamberlain said, increasing the speed of the car by 100 yards, which was too easy for his car.

The song can be considered the city song of San Francisco, and the air of freedom in McKenzie's slightly languid voice and lyrics coincides with the atmosphere of San Francisco and even California.

Chamberlain quickly drove the car to the beach, opened the roof of the car, and let the night sea breeze blow on the faces of the two. The sound of music is even more vague in the sound of the wind, drifting and scattering, as if it is a sound from the sky.

"Gan, do you want to get into the NBA?" Chamberlain suddenly asked Gan Guoyang.

"Well, of course." Gan Guoyang replied without hesitation.

"Gan, remember, you must take your destiny into your own hands." Chamberlain turned his head to look at Gan Guoyang and said.

"Uh......" When Gan Guoyang heard this, he thought of Bill Russell, whom he had met, and who had also said that he wanted to "control himself". Later, Thurmond also told him that kings control not only themselves, but also others.

"Haha, you'll understand later. There are so many people in this world who can't help themselves, whether you're a tiny caterpillar or a giant elephant, you have to fight for your own fate. Seeing that Gan Guoyang did not speak, Chamberlain said again.

"Are you in control of your destiny now?" Gan Guoyang asked.

"Maybe, I can do what I want to do, I can open a nightclub, I can run around the country, I can do all kinds of things I like."

"But the only thing I can't control is loneliness," Chamberlain's tone changed, "and no one likes Goliath." ”

Goliath is the biblical giant who was eventually killed by David.

And Chamberlain, like Goliath, was seen as an outlier among ordinary people. He's an undoubted superstar, but people still prefer David to Goliath.

"Giants are always lonely." Gan Guoyang said, because he is now a 6-foot-9 giant, and in the future he will be less than 6 feet.

Now his future in basketball is bright, but sometimes he misses the life of a short child.

That way, he doesn't have to bow his head when he enters the door, the bed doesn't need to be lengthened, and he won't always scare children on the street on weekends. He could live an ordinary student life like an ordinary person, instead of being the center of attention everywhere he is now.

Perhaps one day he will face the same troubles as Chamberlain, and he will have to avoid this society in exchange for peace.

"Then learn to enjoy solitude." Chamberlain listened to Gan Guoyang's words, said with a smile, and sped up again.

"And what are you going to do next?" Gan Guoyang asked.

"I... I'm going to be involved in making a movie! Jabal has also filmed it, and I'm going to make one now! "Chamberlain watched a movie tonight and thought about making a movie, which seemed too much like a joke to Gan Guoyang, although it was not too difficult for a star like Chamberlain to participate in a movie.

However, two years later, Chamberlain actually participated in a movie.

And the name of that movie is Conan the Destroyer, and it is the sequel to the movie Conan the Barbarian that the two of them watched tonight!

"By the way, Gan, there's only one game left in the high school league, right? I've heard that you've already won the first place in the region. After talking about his plans, Chamberlain began to care about Gan Guoyang's high school league.

California's high school league is still very famous in the United States, not only because of the abundance of NBA stars, but also because of the league system. All high schools in California, whether public, private, or large or small, can join the CIF (California Intercollegiate League), so the number of teams participating in the league has reached a staggering 1,300.

Because there are so many of them, California has to grade all teams according to the size of the team, which makes it impossible to start a statewide brawl like Indiana, which reduces the level of excitement.

However, the large number of games and high-quality high school players can still attract the attention of basketball people across the United States, especially since there are many famous basketball schools in California, such as the NCAA overlord UCLA, which also makes the California high school basketball league more interesting.

At last year's 1981 McDonald's High School Star Game, four of the 24 high school stars were from California, accounting for one-sixth of the total number of players, out of a total of 50 states in the United States.

"Yes, but according to Coach Bellman, he shouldn't let me play in the last game for fear that I will get hurt." For the current Bellman, Gan Guoyang is a treasure, and no one can do without him. The Vikings with Gan Guoyang and without Gan Guoyang are basically two teams.

"Hehe, you are the Vikings' biggest dependence now, but you still have to remember that the game is always five people, don't fantasize that you can rely on one person to win the final victory, maybe in high school, but the future is impossible."

Chamberlain's words can be said to have a deep understanding, he killed all sides in high school and college, and since entering the NBA in 1959, he has begun to set various records in personal data. In the first seven years of his career, he won the scoring title seven times, setting a super record for 100 points per game and 50 points per game in a single season.

However, in these seven years, he has not gained anything, and he has not gained anything; His predecessor and rival Bill Russell have won nine titles, including an eight-game winning streak that made American professional sports history.

Finally, in 1967, Chamberlain entered his eighth season in the NBA, and he was no longer the leading scorer. But his Philadelphia 76ers pair had the best record in the league and knocked out the eight-time champion Celtics in the playoffs, and Chamberlain personally ended Russell's eight-year reign.

Eight years, it was a torturous time for Chamberlain, in the loneliness and accusations he constantly wanted to do better, he scored more and more points, grabbed more and more rebounds, but he still couldn't catch up with the green back in front of him.

Now, he didn't want that pain to happen to the young man next to him. While sometimes hard training is necessary for a superstar to shine, more people are turned into powder than diamonds under the pressure.

Even a prodigy like Chamberlain had the idea of retiring in his second season.

"Thank you, Mr. Wirther. I think maybe I'll be lonely forever, but on the pitch, every teammate will be my brother and every opponent will be my enemy. No-brothers, No-basketball. ”

The clock in the car crossed twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, February is over, March has arrived, and it will be a crazy March.
