Chapter 9: Three-Point Shot! Wang Jing! (below)
The old man lowered his head and was silent on his face, but his heart was as turbulent as the tide on the coast.
Wang Jing sighed softly, handed the basketball to the old man, and continued: "Actually, on the way here today, I have already made up my mind, today is the last time I come to this court to practice, and tomorrow I will go to find a stable job, uncle, you and I meet is fate, this basketball, I will give it to you." ”
The old man took the basketball, looked at the handsome and handsome Wang Jing, and said in a deep voice, "Are you willing to put it down?" ”
"If you can't give up, you have to be willing, the pursuit of what you can pursue is the ideal, and the pursuit of what you can't pursue is the extravagance, I don't dare to think about it anymore."
Wang Jing's words were full of endless disappointment and desolation.
Usually, Wang Jing will practice until seven o'clock, but today, he couldn't hold on to the end, the old man looked at his watch, it was just six o'clock, Wang Jing took the water glass, and walked towards the door with a heavy face.
"Wait!" The old man poured Wang Jing.
Wang Jing's footsteps paused, but he didn't look back, he was afraid that as soon as he turned around, he would see the basketball in the old man's hand again.
The old man said: "Young man, in the end, let's shoot five three-pointers." ”
For a long time, time seemed to stand still, two people stood quietly on the side of the basketball court, without saying anything to each other, a gust of wind blew, sweeping off some yellow leaves on the trees, one of which flew with the wind, quietly falling on the basketball in the old man's hand.
Wang Jing turned around slowly, put the water cup on the bench, and just said a word quietly.
"Okay."
The old man found that Wang Jing's eyes were a little moist, but no tears fell.
He is reluctant, but helpless, from tomorrow, the young man in front of the old man will not regard basketball as the only one in his life, he will leave basketball and take a completely different life path.
Wang Jing stood outside the three-point line on the left side, received a pass from the old man, lifted the ball, and jumped! Shooting! The movements are as standard as the thousands of times I have practiced before!
"Huh!"
Wang Jing ran to the left arc at 45 degrees, received the pass and shot again! Without the slightest hesitation!
"Huh!"
Then at the top of the arc, again at 45 degrees from the right arc, there were two hollow three-pointers, and finally Wang Jing ran to the right side of the baseline outside the three-point line, and the old man's pass was as accurate as the previous four times, but Wang Jing did not shoot.
The sun broke out of dawn, the first golden rays of sunlight in the morning shone on Wang Jing's body, Wang Jing was like a statue of a basketball shooting, his movements were as standard as a textbook, Wang Jing also realized that this may be the last three-point shot in his life that is still on the road to chasing his dreams, and his mood at the moment is as complicated as this society.
The old man didn't speak, allowing Wang Jing to immerse himself in his own world.
"Huh!"
Time seems to have passed a thousand years, 10,000 years, in the end, Wang Jing still threw the ball, the basketball rotated in the air, under the background of the sun, drew a beautiful arc, hollow into the net, after throwing this three-point shot, Wang Jing thought a lot, slowly walked to the basket, picked up the basket, and passed the ball to the left bottom line outside the three-point shot of the old man, who knew that the old man did not shoot outside the three-point line, but took a big step back, jumping and shooting half a meter away from the three-point line!
"Huh!"
Basketball hollow into the net!
Wang Jing was secretly taken aback in his heart, not only because the old man threw a hollow ball half a meter away from the three-point line, but because he was surprised that the old man's shooting action was exactly the same as himself! It's all such a standard!
The old man slowly ran to the next point, reached the point of 45 degrees on the left, received a pass from Wang Jing, and without the slightest hesitation, threw the ball again! Also half a meter away from the three-point line!
"Bang! Swish! ”
This time the shot turned out to be a three-pointer on the board! After the basketball collided with the rebound, it fell cleanly into the net bag.
At the point at the top of the arc and at the point of 45 degrees on the right, Lao Fu throws hollow three-point shots, all of which are also half a meter away from the three-point line! Before running to the last point, the old man was a little out of breath, after all, he was old and his physical strength couldn't keep up, but he didn't expect Wang Jing to pass the ball over, the old man was still one meter away from the three-point line of the bottom line, in a hurry, he caught the ball in the air and shot directly!
"Bang! Swish! ”
The basketball slammed into the back of the basket, and after bounced high, the basketball still obediently fell into the net bag.
Wang Jing was so shocked that he couldn't close his jaw, looked at the old man, and couldn't speak for a long time.
"You! ……”
The old man hugged the basketball, walked over slowly, and said with a little gasp, "Don't be surprised, you shot the CBA three-point line, and I shot the NBA three-point line." ”
Lao Fu handed the basketball to Wang Jing and continued: "I just want to tell you that the height that a person can reach depends on the height of his dreams, in China, few people dare to try the NBA's three-point line, because here, including in international competitions, as long as it is outside the three-point line, no matter how far it is, it is only counted as three points, so no one will increase the difficulty for themselves in vain, which is one of the reasons why it is difficult for Chinese guards to open the door of the NBA." ”
The corners of Wang Jing's mouth muttered the words of the old man, "The height of dreams ......"
Wang Jing looked at the old man, and felt that the uncle in front of him was not like an ordinary court master, his vision was wider and his ability was stronger!
"Young man, all the difficulties in the world are just a big mountain, even if you encounter setbacks, confusion, sadness, sadness, regrets, you regret, you are annoyed, you regret, you are unwilling, you encounter all these things, you should not give up easily, because the mountain, is the mountain, its height will never change, it will change, just the footsteps under your feet, take one more step forward, you will have more hope of success!"
Hearing the old man's words, Wang Jing felt that the flame in his heart that was slowly extinguishing was burning again.
"Young man! You have to overcome yourself! ”
Old Fu patted Wang Jing's shoulder, nodded lightly, and said, "On October 27th, at the Haishi No. 2 Basketball Hall, Fu Ming held an NBA player tryout, I hope you can participate, seize this opportunity, let all those who have underestimated you take a good look, and prove what a big mistake they made in the beginning!" I believe you! Come on! ”
Wang Jing quietly looked at the back of the old man leaving, his hands clenched his fists tightly, the flame in his heart that was forced down felt like it was about to burst, he held the basketball and threw the basketball in the sunshine with the most standard posture!
"Huh!"
