Chapter 69: Later

"And then?" Xiao Ke asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Later ......"

Xiao Zhang habitually pinched his right wrist, and this place would be painful every time it rained on a cloudy day. It's better than the weather forecast. Now, it's starting to hurt again.

Is it going to rain?

He barely squeezed out a smile: "Later, relying on excellent physical fitness and that little bit of athletic talent, I played quite well, the district team, the city team, the provincial team, boring training, playing games every once in a while, and I played all the way until ...... Received an audition notice from the NBA. ”

“NBA?” Xiao Ke felt a little incredible, if it weren't for Xiao Zhang's own words, Xiao Ke would never have associated the Chinese man in front of him with the NBA.

A ...... who once received an NBA trial notice A basketball genius who actually came to be the coach of League of Legends?

Basketball in Brooklyn, New York, and football in South America are all good ways for teenagers from the slums to "counterattack diao", not to mention football, the "world's number one sport" that can make stars, is the NBA, even if it is a relatively low-level player, the annual salary is nearly one million dollars!

can receive an NBA trial invitation, Xiaoke thinks that Xiao Zhang's play in the Chinese domestic league should not be a problem, how can he run to an e-sports club like WE to be a coach?

Out of the instinct of a sports reporter, Xiao Ke wanted to grab Xiao Zhang and ask about this NBA experience. But when she saw Xiao Zhang's expression clearly, she still stopped it.

Frustration, loss, regret, regret......

"Well, something must have happened here." Xiao Ke thought secretly.

"Well, the NBA Thunder, it was called the Seattle SuperSonics at the time. In fact, in Chinese mainland, many players have received similar trial invitations, but few can pass the trial, and those that can take root in the NBA are even rarer, and in the end, perhaps because of too many failures, the media are too lazy to report. I'm ...... also failed. ”

Xiao Zhang did not mention this incomparably brilliant NBA experience in the eyes of ordinary people, and said a few words: "The results of the trial were very bad, in the training camp, the lack of strength alone made me a big heel, as a point guard, I was often prevented from even passing my own half, and I was severely educated." After that, I chose to go back to China and want to strengthen my strength training and start over. It was also during that time that some unexpected changes occurred. ”

"Then, it forced me to leave basketball. My master suggested that I take a degree in 'Physical Education', because with my experience as a player, I can easily become a basketball coach with such a degree. ”

Xiao Ke nodded. In the world of sports, there are many examples of players with illustrious careers turning coaches, and this is indeed a great choice.

"However, at the age of 17, I simply rejected his suggestion. At that time, I just wanted to play, and I couldn't play anymore...... I left the court in a rage. Perhaps, it's not a gamble, but even if I see those teenagers playing wild ball playing so happily on the court, I feel uncomfortable in my heart. Not to mention being a basketball coach. ”

"In that state of mind, and the conditions at home are much better, I decided to go back to high school and prepare for the college entrance examination."

"After knowing my decision, my master and my father were angry at the time, and both said that I was 'zuo, a voice'. Even now, during the New Year's holidays, I go to my master's house to give gifts, and he doesn't take care of me! Xiao Zhang said with a wry smile.

Xiao Ke smiled: "But you are still a coach now." ”

Others don't know, but Xiao Zhang himself knows that his position as a coach is inexplicable. Otherwise, he should still stay in that foreign company and video with his foreigner brother every once in a while.

Is this the legendary "fate"?

Or is it the compensation given to him by the kind-hearted Guanyin Bodhisattva?

Xiao Zhang himself is also a monk of Zhangba, and he is confused.

Xiao Ke said again: "Actually, I think your choice is right. Because being a sports coach isn't a good choice, my father was. In my memory, he was fired all the time, never stayed in one place, and our whole family had to follow him all the time moving and moving......"

While pouting and complaining, Xiao Ke also grabbed his long fluffy hair in a mess, making a tangled appearance.

"You know what? I have never received a love letter from a boy because of him! ”

After talking, and seeing Xiao Ke being funny here, Xiao Zhang felt that his heart had become calmer than ever.

"Thank you!" He said.

Xiao Ke smiled and narrowed a pair of beautiful eyes: "We are friends, aren't we?" ”

"Of course!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After laughing, Xiao Ke said: "You know, maybe because I was born in such a coaching family, I may understand the difficulty of being a coach better than anyone else. ”

"It's going to be tough, as if everybody is ignoring the stars who are at the center of the camera and maybe the toughest people on the planet, and the constant sense of insecurity and powerlessness for the next game can drive people crazy. And you...... And like my father, you're not like the guys who 'play and teach', they have a sense of superiority and influence in the sport, and it's easy for people to convince them. You, on the other hand, need to work twice as hard to do that. ”

After saying this, Xiao Ke stuck out his tongue: "Did I scare you?" ”

Xiao Zhang cooperated and put on a posture of "scared to pee", and said with a smile: "Yes, frightened!" I see, you must have been sent by T_S_M to scare me, haha! ”

"As much as my colleagues hope that T_S_M can beat you, come on, my friend!" Xiao Ke shook his small fist at Xiao Zhang.

……

……

It's a really nice feeling to talk.

This experience has been hidden by Xiao Zhang, and even friends like Xu Fei don't know about it. But if you hide it for a long time, you will still feel panicked in your heart.

After Xiao Ke left, Coach Xiao maintained a state of "Alzheimer's" for a long time.

His eyes were out of focus looking into the distance, his mouth was sobbing and muttering, and occasionally some saliva was oozing from the corners of his mouth, obviously thinking about something.

Think a lot.

I miss Xiaoke, I miss her father who was a coach, and ...... Those two raised, alluring little cherries.

Thinking about the basketball court, thinking about the pick-and-roll, the triangle offense, thinking about the "Princeton system", thinking about the "UCLA_Cut", thinking about every coach he has met along the way.

I want to WE, I want to "Huya", I want to T_S_M......

……

The fragments of these memories are like the puzzles that children love to play with, they are disrupted, gathered again, and shuffled again, but the final pattern is becoming clearer and clearer.

There are only two pieces on this puzzle: "Champion".

Xiao Zhang opened the laptop.

"Can I win this championship?"

"Whew!"
