"You're going to join the basketball team to help me, right? Lin Mu..."On the subway on the way back, Gu Beicheng's head was still covered with the towel handed by Lin Mu, and he lowered his head and whispered to Lin Mu.

On the crowded and noisy subway, Gu Beicheng's voice was very small, but his voice made Lin Mu feel a kind of power that penetrated people's hearts.

"I..." Lin Mu raised his head tremblingly and looked at Gu Beicheng with red and swollen eyes.

He wanted to refuse, but the red-eyed boy in front of him was his best friend.

He couldn't bear to refuse. However, he could not say yes.

After all, the unbearable memories of that year have long since made his fragile basketball dream come to naught.

"I... Check it out. ”

After a long time, Lin Mu finally gave him an ambiguous answer.

"It's... Is it? Gu Beicheng's voice had a hint of crying again, but he touched his nose again and forced a smile:

"Regardless of whether you join the basketball team or not, you... You're all my best friends. ”

"Thank you..."Lin Mu couldn't think of any other words except these two words.

With these two words falling, the originally noisy subway seems to be turned into a freeze-frame picture of black and white memories.

In that black-and-white stop-motion film, the two teenagers go back to their childhood, when they too had a dream about basketball on the subway...

Lin Mu, who returned home, was lying on the bed, his eyes closed, and he recalled the game that shattered his basketball dream in his mind.

recalled that in that one-sided game, when he was appointed by the coach to defend Xia Yubing, who was 185cm tall at the time and was known as the ace scorer of 717 Middle School, his embarrassed appearance and the audience's dissatisfaction with his performance booed.

The boo, long after the game, echoed in his mind.

It haunted him like a nightmare.

"If, at that time, I could have kept my center of gravity down at the time, maybe I could have caused an offensive foul when he broke through and regained control of the ball."

This time he took the initiative to recall, but it was not accompanied by the tears of humiliation in the past, but for Lin Mu, it opened a new angle and a new view.

This wonderful angle and view made Lin Mu recall that game again and again.

"If, at that time, I gave up passing and made a mid-range shot, maybe I could have opened up the situation with a mid-range shot. Because, at that time, Xia Yubing basically didn't defend me much. ”

"If, at that time, I could have gone from being passive to attacking aggressively, and driving the mood of the team. Well, we should have been able to fight a counteroffensive at that time! ”

As Lin Mu took the initiative to accept the humiliating memories that brought him, his ball quotient beyond ordinary people quickly analyzed the shortcomings of his game back then.

As he carefully analyzed the games he had lost, his otherwise dim system shone again, and the ball quotient column on the data panel slowly jumped from 13 to 14, and from 14 to 15!

"If, at that time, Gu Beicheng was in my team, then with our cooperation, maybe in the last quarter, we could fall behind by 20 points in the first three quarters and catch up to overtime!"

In Lin Mu's accurate analysis, the crying big boy who was crying today came to his mind, and he began to think of what Gu Beicheng said on the first day of school, if he cooperated with Lin Mu, he was confident that he would reach the top eight in the city!

The more he thought of Gu Beicheng's huge body, reliable rebounding and bulldozer-like interior skills, the more confident Lin Mu became in the game that year.

It's a pity that it is impossible to go back to the past, even if he can go back to the past, Gu Beicheng was still banned at that time, and he couldn't cooperate with himself.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu smiled helplessly.

He lay on the bed, looked at the dark ceiling, and muttered:

"Sure enough, I still can't accept the failure of the year."

"Is it unacceptable, or do you want to give up!"

After he said this, his door was violently pushed open.

This sentence frightened Lin Mu half to death, and he looked at the tall woman who pushed open the door in horror.

The tall woman was his mother, and when Lin Mu was analyzing his mistakes in the game, his mother stood at the door and listened to him silently.

As he analyzed, the woman's face was filled with a smile of relief.

Because, she feels that her son has finally grown up and can come out of the shadows of the past.

However, Lin Mu's last sentence made her laugh angrily, just like a person telling you a lot of big truths, which made you addicted to it, and finally came a sentence that brother I joked about before!

She turned on the light on the door with a cruel smile, looked at Lin Mu, who was as helpless as a little beast, grabbed the basketball with one hand and said with a lot of dust on the side:

"Stinky boy, I'll give you three minutes, get dressed and follow me downstairs, if you dare to disobey me, you should know the consequences, right?"

Lin Mu nodded obediently, and obediently changed his clothes and walked downstairs, and obediently came to the basketball court in the community under the leadership of the woman.

It's already eleven o'clock in the evening, but there are still a lot of people sweating on the basketball court.

Most of these people are nearby students and some office workers, and on this weekend night, they released their hormones to the fullest, making this ordinary basketball court very attractive!

"Join in, score ten goals, or I won't let you go home and deduct half of your pocket money." The woman's voice revealed a hint of coldness, like an emotionless killer.

"Ten balls is a bit much... Five can't do it..."Hearing his mother's words, Lin Mu wanted to bargain.

After all, he hadn't touched a basketball for almost four months, and this four-month gap not only made his scoring ability drop to an outrageous situation, but also made him lose the confidence he had back then.

"Fifteen." There was a hint of impatience in the woman's voice.

"Mom, I'm your own. The two of us have been dependent on each other for sixteen years, do you feel sorry for me? Lin Mu skillfully played the emotional card.

"Like a man! Twenty! The woman slammed the ball him. There was no room for him to refuse.

Lin Mu looked at his mother's appearance, lost the courage to resist, he obediently held the basketball and communicated with the people on the court, hoping to join in.

The people on the court looked at Lin Mu's mother, who was like a tigress, nodded subconsciously, agreed to Lin Mu's joining, and kindly assigned Lin Mu to the strong team on this court.

They looked at Lin Mu with pity, and made a man's expression to him.

Lin Mu accepted all this gratefully, and also accepted all this with peace of mind.

As a starter, he stood on this familiar and unfamiliar court.

This time, there was no annoying boo, no unattainable opponent, only the basketball in his hand and the basket in front of him!

Look at the basketball in your hand and the basket in front of you.

Lin Mu suddenly felt that the twenty-ball task was no longer so terrifying, but this time, why was Lin Mu still trembling?

Perhaps, it's because he's picked up the basketball again!
