Spring goes to winter, time flies.

The rings of time have changed the world and ruthlessly changed us. Let's gradually become insensitive, let us gradually get used to going with the flow. Let us gradually pass away our youth, let us gradually mourn the sky and cherish the autumn.

Although there is unwillingness, although there are shouts, everything is still a thing of the past.

Perhaps the only thing that remains unchanged is the longing in our hearts for the dream we once had, and the dream-like attachment to it.

How many times do we wake up to find that the corners of our eyes are inexplicably moist, how many times do we embark on a journey and find that we are already a walking corpse.

In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed quietly.

In the NBA league, with the retirement of the 03 golden generation due to injury, and with the end of the Heat's 5-game championship era, the entire league has presented a chaotic pattern of competing for hegemony.

In the midst of this, the Heat was beaten back to the belly, the Lakers became a declining aristocracy, the Spurs are no longer a model for the league, and the Rockets are no longer the home team of the majority of Chinese fans......

Just when the president was very distressed about this, and when basketball fans around the world were sad, a group of guards, mainly Irving and Curry, quickly took over the banner from the hands of their predecessors. For a time, small ball has become the main style in the entire NBA league, and the backcourt has become a lady of heaven who has attracted much attention.

Due to the unmatched influence of the NBA league, this small-ball fast play whirlwind quickly swept the entire world basketball world in less than two years. Therefore, every country has put the cultivation and selection of basketball talents on small guards, but it is often difficult to find a talent at the expense of money.

In fact, it is not to blame that all countries are following suit, because those countries with excellent backfield players have achieved good results in international competitions in recent years. South Korea, for example, has risen to the top of Asian basketball because of their terrible backcourt double guns.

But the sad thing is that although this small-ball whirlwind has also blown to China, due to the long-term deformed training and selection of basketball talents, China has not given birth to the so-called excellent backcourt, and as a result, the Chinese men's national basketball team has not only gradually faded out of the field of vision of international fans, but also completely declined in Asia.

San Denio, USA.

In the evening, on an open-air basketball court, several black boys were playing a half-court 3vs3 game. In the midst of the shouting and frolicking, a few little guys fought very vigorously and seriously.

Moments later, the game finally came to a halt as a young boy broke through to score a layup. Strangely enough, though, neither the loser nor the winner seem to care much about the outcome of the game. After a brief exchange, they immediately walked briskly to an Asian man watching the game on the sidelines.

The man watching the battle had a beard, nearly 190cm tall, a close-fitting white vest showing off his strong muscles, and a pair of very deep eyes with a faint smile.

"Wang, are you really not coming here tomorrow to teach us how to play?" A little boy asked, looking up.

"I'll probably be busy after tomorrow, but I'll be here whenever I get the chance."

The man smiled and high-fived the boys one by one, turned his face to look at a man who was standing next to the car smoking not far away, turned his face to the boys and smiled: "If there is anything in the future, you can call me, and I will write the number to you in a while." ”

"Wang, you play so well, why don't you go to the professional league, why don't you play for your country, are there many people out there who are better than you?" A slightly older boy again uttered the question they had asked so many times without getting an answer.

"Hehe, didn't I tell you, I don't have a motherland, I'm a person from an alien planet"

The man smiled and wrote down the phone number on a piece of paper, handed it to one of the boys, and continued, "I didn't say I wouldn't play in the professional league." ”

"What? You're going to play in a professional league? When to go? The little ones' eyes widened in amazement.

"I'll go tomorrow." The man grinned, and continued, "So I said that I won't be able to play with you often after tomorrow, so I should understand, right?" ”

"Wang, you're saying you're going to participate in tomorrow's draft?" One of the little boys seemed to understand something, and asked happily.

"Can't you play in a professional league if you don't participate in the draft?" The man asked rhetorically with a smile.

"Can you play in a professional league without participating in the draft?" The little boy who asked the questioner obviously did not understand the meaning, reached out and scratched his head, and wondered: "Why have I never heard of such a thing?" ”

"You're still young, and you'll slowly understand it later." The man smiled, then picked up the package on the side and said, "Okay, you guys should go back early, remember not to hang out with the gangsters on the street, you know?" ”

"Don't worry, we didn't go last time Jones asked us to help him with the wind." After a boy finished speaking, the other little ones immediately nodded heavily, "That's good, then I'll go, goodbye." ”

The man nodded in satisfaction and walked out of the court.

The man who had been smoking a cigarette while standing next to the car not far away looked up and saw this bearded man walking up, immediately extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and sat in the cab with a smile. Just as the man with the beard was about to get into the car, suddenly there were shouts from a few little guys behind him, and the man with the beard was slightly stunned, and then turned his head to look over.

"Wang, if you are on TV, you must remember to tell us, we will definitely watch it..."

"King, remember to come back to see us when you have time, we will miss you very much..."

"We love you, king, give those millionaires a good look..."

Looking at these innocent faces and listening to their very immature voices, this man with a beard suddenly felt that his eyes were faintly moist. Finally, he smiled and waved his hand, and got into the car anyway.

In the gentle wind, looking at the car in the distance, a few little guys stood on the court for a long time and did not want to leave. Three years of getting along had already given them a deep bond with the bearded man, and if he hadn't suddenly appeared on the pitch three years ago, most of them would have become street thugs by now.

"Do you think Wang is really from China?" After a long time, one of the little boys turned to the others and asked, "Surely yes, don't you see that he has black eyes and black hair?" The other boy asked dismissively.

"Then why hasn't he ever admitted it?" The boy who asked the question immediately threw the problem back.

"This..."

The boy who had disdain on his face just now couldn't answer for a while when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he said forcefully: "I guess he must have committed a crime and is being wanted by his country, aren't there many such plots in the movie?" Right? ”

"Ah, it's over."

Hearing this, one of the boys exclaimed in surprise, and without waiting for the others to ask the reason, he hurriedly explained: "I have already told my parents about the king, will they go to the police to tell the police?" …”

………

In the twilight, several black children left the court in groups, and one of the boys was surrounded by the crowd with his head bowed, and from the occasional reprimand, it was vaguely clear that he seemed to have committed some serious wrong.

"Remember, you must watch tomorrow's draft meeting, maybe the king will be on TV..."

At the time of the breakup, one of the older boys suddenly seemed to remember something very important, turned his head and ordered a few **.

How do they know that tomorrow's draft will not only be watched by a few of them, but basketball fans all over the world have already focused their eyes here.

Tomorrow, people are looking forward to it.

Maybe tomorrow a new backfield soul will descend on the mortal earth.
