Chapter 1: Awakening from a dream
The night view of Shanghai is beautiful. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Not far from the rental house where Zhou Han lives, there is a plastic-floored lighted court, where he comes every night to play ball and sweat.
When I arrived at the court, it was almost seven o'clock, and the two groups of people on the court had already started playing, Zhou Han looked at it twice, they were all a group of acquaintances, and the level was average.
"Yo, Coach Zhou is here!" A fat man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said hello with a smile when he saw Zhou Han coming.
Zhou Han nodded at him. Don't look at him as fat, this guy is actually flexible and tight, and he still has work in his hands, and he is a master in this field. He is also the manager of a well-known trading company, so everyone calls him Fat Boss.
Zhou Han is the coach of a nearby high school varsity team. This high school is a well-known Xueba high school, and there are a lot of basketball lovers in the school, but most of them are sharp-tongued emperors who understand the ball, and they are silent when they really want to play. In addition, this school does not recruit students with sports specialties, so the basketball level is very low. Zhou Han's desire to lead such a team to win the championship of the high school league is tantamount to a dream.
At this time, a tall young man came over: "Old Zhou, we still have someone to do, are you coming?" ”
This young man's name is Huang Shaoli, he is a student that Zhou Han took a few years ago, and he is the best mixed among all his students, and he is now studying at a university in the south, and he is also the main forward of the school basketball team.
Zhou Han smiled: "Okay, who else are the two?" ”
"One of my classmates, just a bald head of more than 1.9 meters, and an old Zhang." Huang Shaoli replied.
Zhou Han looked up, and sure enough, there was a big bald head, almost two meters tall, as strong as a bear. He thought to himself that he would be able to mix careers in the future, and his heart was inexplicably uncomfortable when he thought of his career, and he was only a line away from his career, but this line eventually evolved into an insurmountable gap.
In addition, the old Zhang Zhou is familiar with the little old man who is nearly forty years old, has a beautiful shooting kung fu, and he has a team that shoots a team in minutes, and he is nicknamed Thigh Zhang.
Next, Huang Shaoli called the two teammates, and several people chatted for a while, and waited for a long time before playing.
The opponent is the team of the fat president, except for the fat president, the rest are all fresh faces, all of them are tall and big, it seems that it should be the foreign aid called by the fat president.
When he first looked at it at the bottom, Zhou Han noticed that the configuration of this team was very reasonable, with guards and centers, and the baskets were accurate, and they had already won a lot of games.
"Fat Mr., where are these masters? Did you call over and smash the field today? As soon as he went up, Zhou Han asked with a smile.
Mr. Fat blinked and said, "Hongkou, they are all my high school classmates, how about it, the level is okay!" ”
Zhou Han was noncommittal and smiled slightly.
After Lao Zhang tried to throw one, the game started immediately.
The ball naturally belongs to Zhou Han's team, and Huang Shaoli consciously sent the ball to Zhou Han and ran to the bottom corner of the right side to standby.
Lao Zhang is on the other side, defended by the fat boss.
As soon as he came up, the space was very open, and Zhou Han beckoned the bald head to come up to block the demolition, the bald head was very obedient, and the blocking and dismantling were in place.
By blocking and dismantling, Zhou Han passed the defender, and when he saw that the opponent's center did not follow, he simply pulled it up and threw it, but it was a pity to hit the iron.
The opposing center unceremoniously accepted the rebound and passed it to a tall and thin man wearing an Iverson jersey, the guy dribbled at a good rate, and immediately hit a pull-up layup after bringing out the three-point line, and the bald head reacted quickly, but it was still a little bit close to blocking, so he had to become the background of others.
continued to serve, this time the thin and tall man passed the ball to the fat boss, and the fat boss pushed Lao Zhang twice to the penalty area, and then leaned on Lao Zhang to make a small hook and hit.
Lao Zhang was a little faceless, blushing and scolding.
Then, it was still the fat always who took the ball and transferred it to the center, and the bald head was very dead, and the center dribbled twice and felt that he couldn't play, so he passed it, and the ball went to Zhou Hanfang's people.
This person is wearing a white vest, not strong, and is about the same height as Zhou Han, about 1.8 meters. Wearing a pair of small glasses, he looks very happy, but people are not so happy when they play, Zhou Han judged from the rhythm of the opponent's dribbling that this is definitely a very strong guy.
Sure enough, the white vest broke through Zhou Han with the ball, and disappeared with a shake of his shoulder, dribbling to the free throw line and throwing it in one step at a time, hitting the board, and the ball went in.
"Wow, that's a great move!"
"It seems that this team is going to be ruled today, and I thought that Coach Zhou's team could beat them down."
"Fat always said that these people are mixed with Hongkou, Ah Feng, you Hongkou people, do you recognize them?"
"I know the one who wears a white vest, his house is just across the street from my house, I heard that he went to the United States to study two years ago, and practiced with the black brothers all day long, do you say you can be amazing!"
"Practicing with the black brothers, no wonder it's so good!"
Everyone on the field talked a lot, and they were not optimistic that Zhou Han's team would win.
On the field, Zhou Han's face was expressionless, it had just begun, how could he close the coffin?
At the beginning of the three-to-zero game, the other three did not look very good, Zhou Han walked over to them with a smile and whispered a few words, and then motioned to the other party to continue.
This time, it was replaced by a thin and tall man who controlled the ball, Huang Shaoli defended very well, forced very fiercely, and almost snatched the ball several times, and the thin and tall man had to hand over the ball to the white vest. The white vest was very confident after taking the ball, and planned to continue to eat Zhou Han alone, but this time he did not break through, but singled with his back.
The back of the white vest has a Kobe charm, and the movements are very smooth. Zhou Han defended him, and at the same time signaled Lao Zhang with his eyes, Lao Zhang immediately lost the fat boss and attacked the white vest behind his back.
The fat always shouted "be careful of the back", but he was still a step slower, and Lao Zhang, who was quick in his eyes, successfully broke the ball.
After he dribbled out of the three-point line, he didn't care about anyone else, he shot directly, and the three-point arc was beautiful, it was a hollow.
The surroundings were amazed, Lao Zhang proudly sent the ball to Zhou Han, Zhou Han still signaled to block and dismantle, exactly the same routine as the first ball, the bald head blocked very well, the opponent's center still did not defend it, this time Zhou Han did not miss the opportunity, and scored a point in a jumper.
Now the other party finally pays a little attention, and the pressure on defense is much greater.
Zhou Han passed the ball to Huang Shaoli and told him to beat the ball by himself, Huang Shaoli is also the main force of the college team no matter how he says, it is very easy to play a thin and tall single, a dry pull jump shot, and he will play in the next round, he easily leans on the thin and tall man to make a big jump to the basket and score another point.
The situation reversed, the score became three to four, and those who were not optimistic about the field all stood in the camp of Zhou Han's team.
Next, Huang Shaoli still wanted to play singles, but he was caught by a mistake, the ball went to the hands of the fat president, and the fat president did not ink, beckoning the whole team to run, he himself still sat in the old routine and played inside, at this time Zhou Han and Huang Shaoli had a misunderstanding, followed the same person, and leaked the white vest, the fat total score ball was neat, and the white vest hit the half-volley.
After several rounds of play, neither side scored, and in the end, Lao Zhang broke the situation with another long-range three-point shot.
Usually the field court is played with six balls, so Zhou Han and the others already have the match point in their hands, and the white vest's expression became solemn, and he decided to defend this ball well, otherwise he would lose.
It was Zhou Han who controlled the ball, and he didn't move much today, so he scored a goal, so he planned to play the lore ball himself.
It's still a blocking tactic, but the person who blocked it was replaced by Huang Shaoli, the bald head and Lao Zhang were on the left side of the basket, and the space on the right was very large, Zhou Han bypassed the white vest by blocking and dismantling, the white vest was very hard, and he wanted to go around the front to overtake Huang Shaoli to keep up, but Huang Shaoli didn't give him a chance and was stuck.
This directly became Zhou Han facing the thin and tall man, Zhou Han was very calm, he looked at the basket, and then instantly retreated, the thin and tall man was shocked, thinking that Zhou Han was going to retreat and threw it directly, so he jumped up and tried to block it, but he didn't expect Zhou Han's retreat to be a feint, and the breakthrough was real, and he directly shook the person away.
The opponent's center made up the defense very quickly, and the position was also very good, Zhou Han's head was off, and he took two big steps together, which was running to the basket.
The center's brain was hot, and he jumped up.
"Where's the ball?" The center saw that although Zhou Han made a layup, there was no ball in his hand! He turned around and saw the bald head putting the ball in the basket under the basket.
"Good shot!"
"This ball is beautiful!"
"It's worthy of Coach Zhou."
……
Although the center didn't know what was going on, the audience on the court was too addicted, Zhou Han's pass was so exciting, although he made a layup, but the ball was passed to the bald head in the first time, and the center was completely confused.
The white vest walked to Zhou Han's side, and he was also convinced: "Dude, that ball just now is so handsome, amazing!" He patted Zhou Han on the shoulder and was very friendly.
Zhou Han was a little embarrassed, and smiled to show his modesty: "There is no one." ”
"Don't be modest, Coach Zhou, let me introduce you." The fat boss on the other side walked over with two bottles of water and handed them to them.
"This, Yu Zandong, is studying at UCLA." The fat boss pointed to the white vest, that is, Yu Zandong said. Then he pointed at Zhou Han again: "This, Coach Zhou, was a star point guard of the school team when he was in college!" The level is not covered! I'm still a basketball coach in high school. ”
Yu Zandong was surprised: "It's okay, Coach Zhou, no wonder it's so strong, we can't be unjustly lost." ”
Zhou Han still smiled, but there was a little bitterness in his smile.
He thought about the past again, and thought of the scene when he graduated from college and embarked on the road of professional basketball with hope, only to hit a wall everywhere.
went to the trial, and the physical test score was at the bottom of everyone.
When you go to play at a semi-professional level, you only have mistakes.
I finally relied on a friend to introduce me to the Shanghai team, but I didn't expect to have a car accident - my leg was broken.
This period of history, the bitterness and suffering, only he understands.
He failed, but he woke up earlier and slept later than before, just to have more time to practice. But it still didn't work, the result couldn't be changed, God gave him a superhuman ball quotient, but did not give him a superhuman physique. Basketball is always a sport for long people, and it is always a sport full of confrontations, which cannot be made up for by ball quotient alone.
I still can't let go of this dream, Zhou Han thought to himself. His eyes were glazed, and he didn't recover until Huang Shaoli asked him to play.
It didn't take long for the people to run out one after another, and Zhou Han was also tired and waved goodbye.
He went back alone, the street lamp spilled down his back, and he looked a different kind of loneliness.
When he got home, he opened a can of beer he bought on the way back, Snowflake, which was the taste he liked, and took two sips with an intoxicated expression.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Zhou Han thought about many things in his heart.
Today, he broke up.
Everything left him little by little, he wanted to laugh and cry, but in the end there was no expression.
I'm so tired, so tired that my brain can't open my eyes for a few seconds.
Zhou Han slept, and the lights were not turned off. The beer hadn't finished yet, it was left in Zhou Han's hand, and the aroma of wine filled the entire room.
……
In the early morning, the sun shined through the window and on Zhou Han.
Zhou Han woke up in a daze, rubbed his eyes, yawned, and wanted to play with his bangs, but found that his forehead was empty.
He was startled, got up, and just happened to see the unruly face in the mirror next to the bed.
