On the streets of Dortmund, a young man sings here, and what is even more strange is that this man is obviously in Germany, but he sings a Chinese song.

"Where is the world full of flowers?"

"If he really exists, then I will definitely go!"

"I want to stand on the highest mountain there!"

"I don't care if he's a cliff or not."

…………

There are not many people in Germany who know Chinese, and pedestrians listening to the young man's song will subconsciously frown, because they can't figure out what the guy in front of them is "crying wolf".

With such a feeling, naturally no one will stay by his side and listen to his singing.

However, the young man who sang didn't seem to care about this, and was still intoxicated by his singing.

"Run forward, meet the cold eyes and ridicule!"

"How can you feel the vastness of life without going through hardships."

"Fate can't make us kneel and beg for mercy."

"Even if blood is spilled all over the bosom."

…………

The young man, who was obsessed with singing, did not know that at this time, there was a person beside him who was quietly listening to his singing, and looking at her appearance, it seemed to resonate with her and deeply moved her.

When the young man had finished singing, an English word came to his ears.

"Pretty good music, a lot of life!"

The young man who was singing looked up, and a woman with a 1.80-meter-tall sexy figure wearing a black wide-brimmed hat and a pair of exaggerated sunglasses on her face that covered the outline of her entire face was standing in front of him.

"Can you understand?" The young man who sang asked, in English.

"No, but I feel what you want to express from your singing." The woman explained, opening her leather armor and taking out ten full 500 bills from it, which she placed in the guitar case in front of the young man.

For a full 5,000 euros, the young man exclaimed: "That's too much! ”

"This song is worth the price, don't care what anyone thinks, keep at it, I'm sure you'll be able to succeed!" After the woman finished speaking, she left the young man with a tall back and disappeared into the street.

The hotel arranged by the club for Li Shuai, they only paid for a week's room in advance, and Li Shuai had already moved out of there, and with the help of Hummels and Grosskreutz, he found a nice house near the training base.

When he returned home, Li Shuai was in a much better mood, and muttered: "I didn't expect that I was affirmed by others in music, but I was just a football ......."

Shaking his head helplessly, he turned on the TV casually.

"When", "When", "When"......

A burst of soothing music came from the TV, attracting Li Shuai's attention.

On TV, a black man with a pen in his hand scribbles a villain who looks a little like himself, and the villain holds a basketball in his hand.

Then the black man's deep voice sounded, as if telling a story.

"When no one believes in you, trust yourself."

"Hey! I'm Gilbert Arenas, and here's my story: When I first entered the NBA, the first 40 games of my career were spent on the cold bench, and they said I had to sit on the bench, and I don't think they saw my talent at all.

"They thought I was a "0" and good for nothing, but instead of sitting there complaining, I kept training and training. ”

"When no one trusts you, any effort you make will add points to yourself, it's not a question of whether I can play basketball well, I'm going to prove them wrong!"

"Why is my jersey number '0'? ”

"Because I want to remind myself: every day you have to fight with all your might."

"Nothing is impossible!"

This is an advertisement from the world-famous sports brand Adidas.

After the advertisement was played, Li Shuai sighed with emotion: "I haven't seen this advertisement for a long time......"

People who like football generally pay more or less attention to the NBA, and Li Shuai is no exception, and the NBA superstar Gilberto Arenas in the advertisement is also a star that Li Shuai likes very much.

Since he was a child, Arenas has loved sports, and he has a wide range of hobbies, including football, basketball, and track and field.

But at the end of his freshman year of high school, his coach came to a life-changing conclusion: "You're never going to get into college to play basketball." This sentence broke Arenas' heart, but it also fueled his desire to challenge the prejudices of the world.

"I guess that's where it all started." Arenas later recalled, "Before that, I just loved playing because my friends played and playing allowed me to get away from a lot of trouble on the streets." But that summer, young Arenas was filled with another kind of motivation – that coach was wrong!

He started practicing basketball every day before dawn and stayed on the basketball court all day.

In his final year of high school, Arenas became the California high school scoring champion with an average of 33 points per game and later made the University of Arizona team.

But the skepticism didn't stop him, and in the face of suspicion and contempt, Arenas chose "No. 0" as the jersey number, which accompanied him to become the starting guard and leading scorer of the University of Arizona team, and led the team to the NCAA (National Collegiate League) finals.

After his sophomore year, Arenas decided to enter the NBA Draft early — doubt, or doubt.

This time, those experts said that he was not tall enough to be an NBA shooting guard, and that he would not be able to transform into a playmaker after entering the NBA.

On the night of the draft, Arenas watched a television broadcast in a hotel, and seeing that he had not been selected for the entire first round, he opened the window, threw all the jewelry he had just bought, such as diamonds, watches, gold chains, and other jewelry, into the street, and turned off the TV to call his college coach. The coach hastened to reassure Arenas that he had been drafted by the Golden State Warriors with the first pick in the second round.

"I'm going to make everyone who despises me regret it, and I'm going to be the one to help the team win." Arenas swore after the 2001 draft.

Stubborn and even a little paranoid, he even announced at the time that he would be able to start in the middle of the season. That's not self-confidence but arrogance for a second-round rookie, but once again, Arenas made his promise.

The following year, Arenas scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game, becoming the NBA's most improved player of the year. "I like it when people are suspicious and look down on me." Arenas once said, "Because of this, I can throw these doubts back in their faces." ”

After that, he became a hot superstar in the NBA.

This is the story of Arenas, who is also questioned as he imagined himself now, and in the early stage of his career, he could only be on the cold bench, and Arenas sat on the cold bench for a full 40 games.

"Li Shuai, when did you become so fragile in your heart, you only sat on the bench for three games, and you began to doubt your choice and began to be confused about the future, you are a man that the king of Hades dare not accept."
