Section 1: Frustrated teenagers

"Success and failure are common things in soldiers", the field is like a battlefield; In the face of failure, I was able to accept it calmly. "It was the last year of my high school career, and our varsity team was the Western Division champion of the city's high school basketball league, but lost to the Eastern Conference champion by 27 points in the finals." I was the main striker in the team, I gave my best throughout the game, and the difference in overall strength made me know what it means to be helpless......"

After that, I was fortunate to be favored by the famous basketball school, Jiao Tong University, and I was fortunate to be able to step into this sacred basketball school with the bonus points of sports expertise and the efforts of the school. Just as I was ready to show my talents, fate played a joke on me again. After only a week of reporting to the basketball team, I strained the ligament in my right leg during a training match and had to take a break from my beloved basketball court.

The three-month wait seemed to me to be such a long time, and every time I saw the players running around the field, I was really on pins and needles on the sidelines. Craving... I long to gallop on the pitch that belongs to me and burst out with all my power. And I was only in an unbearable mood when I sat on the wall and watched at this time.

Seeing that the day of recovery was approaching, I couldn't hold back my anxious heart anymore, forgot the doctor's instructions, neglected the coach's hard work, and came to the gymnasium without permission to play alone. Dribble, break through, turn left and shake off a defender, suddenly change direction and shake off an opponent, jump to the basket, and gently put the ball in a graceful position. As I fell, I reveled in my perfect movements, and a small puddle of water on the floor staggered my left and right legs by a 180-degree again.

"Ahh!!h

- Screams of pain echoed through the empty gymnasium.

According to the doctor, there is no certainty of complete recovery, and I can't touch a basketball for at least 18 months. This thunderbolt from the clear sky almost drove me into the abyss of despair.

But at least I wasn't sentenced to death, and 18 months later I'm just over 20 years old, and I still have a long way to go! I can only talk like this to masturbate. Three months is unbearable, let alone 18 months? It was like a lifetime to me. In order to pass the boring time, I borrowed a lot of basketball books to read, at first some technical skills, and later practical tactics, on-court scheduling, these things subtly influenced me, from technology to tactics. The discussions with the coach from time to time have also taught me a lot. After a while, I took on the role of an assistant coach on the sidelines.

"I don't think it's very good for two or three defenses, it's okay for the average team, if you meet a player with a strong breakthrough ability or a team with a skillful overall cooperation, such a dull position is easy to be pulled away by the opponent."

"And what do you think?"

"It's better to be a person-to-man, although there are certain requirements for the physical strength and mental concentration of the players, and the power of five people to firmly watch the other five people who are responsible for each other, it seems simple, but it cleverly blocks almost every passing and shooting line. It's just that the requirements for technical movements are higher, so the players can usually strengthen their training in this area. "I acted like a coach and even called my teammates players.

Eighteen months have passed. I didn't realise that the long downtime could have become so rushed. It should have been something to celebrate, but I suddenly felt a little lost, without the same impulse as a year and a half ago, and it can be said that people are mature and know how to grasp themselves. Maybe it's because I haven't stepped on the court for a long time, even my beloved basketball feels rusty when I catch it, maybe my heart is no longer the heart of an athlete. When I got home, I couldn't get excited, and I often complained about my teammates' small mistakes.

"What's going on? Such a ball will not be able to catch it? How did your hands and feet become so stupid! "For my friend, Zheng Pengfei, who is a partner in high school basketball together, I didn't save him any face, and my attitude towards him was almost roaring. I don't have that right, and I've been pointing fingers on the sidelines for more than a year, and I've already developed my coaching tone. In fact, I'm just a player, just like them.

"Bang!" With a crisp thud, the ball bounced high and high after touching the ground, almost touching the ceiling of the gymnasium.

"Who do you think you are? I'll fucking tell you, "Pengfei is on fire." "You're not—you're teaching—practicing!" He spat out the last five words one by one, poking his fingers into my shoulder one by one. Although I didn't touch it, I seemed to feel a sore feeling on my shoulders. After saying that, he spat at my feet, threw off his clothes, and left the gym angrily. He is a man of temperament, he has always been straightforward, scolding is commonplace, and before, he rarely lost his temper with me, at least in my memory, I have not been able to find such a situation. The other team members looked at each other, some glanced at me and Peng Fei who was far away, and more at me. Just by swiping it with my peripheral vision, I felt it; Just by the first reaction, I knew, "There was a gap between me and the players." ”

When I got back to the dormitory, he didn't say a word to me, and I didn't say a word to him.

Actually, apologizing is a very simple thing, but I am so hesitant to do it, not at all like me on the court. Perhaps the better the relationship, the harder it will be to repair the rift. In those days, I was annoyed, fantasizing about time to dilute everything. But I was wrong again, and this time he was iron-hearted. I became a little depressed and began to drink to kill my sorrows. People are unlucky to drink tea and stuff their teeth, and this matter is actually known by the school.

Soon the coach came to me and said, "I know you're a little bored, but the school rules that the members of the sports team are not allowed to drink or smoke during the school day. Failure to do so will result in expulsion from the sports team. ”

"Well, I'm ......"

"Rest assured, given that you are a first offender and have contributed to the basketball team. I've already contacted the Student Affairs Division, and I'll give you another chance, but if I do it again,...... "I know, this won't happen again next time, so can I go?" ”

"Wait a minute, there's one more thing!"

"What?"

"About you and Pengfei!"

"What? Didn't apologize to him? It's not like your style. ”

"No,...... I ......," I swallowed, "I have been friends with him for five years, and we are the best friends in the team, and I have always wanted to apologize to him, but I didn't have a chance, and he hasn't even returned to his bedroom these days, and it is said that there is something at home, so he went home for a few days." "I'll explain it to him if I have the chance."

"If that's the case, I'll be relieved, okay, you can go."

It used to be stuffy in my heart, but after I found someone to say it, it was much easier. Men just can't put down their so-called self-esteem. As if relieved, I walked out of the office and jumped up like a child. I thought about finding Pengfei as soon as possible to solve this contradiction.

At this time, a figure flashed in front of him and disappeared around the corner, wasn't that figure Pengfei? I immediately followed and prepared to apologize to him. After passing the corner, he saw that he had caught up with a girl, talking and laughing, and holding hands from time to time. I'm not happy.

"Good! I thought what I was doing in the past two days, but it turned out that I found a girlfriend and didn't tell my buddy. "I continued to follow them.

"Let's take a look first, and go back so that I can lift his old bottom in front of my roommate." I smirked.

But the closer I got to it, the more I felt that the girl was familiar, so I took a closer look. "Oh my God! Isn't that her? ”
