On Feb. 8, the 76ers defeated the Hornets 89-81 at home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Robert Covington had his best single-game performance since entering the NBA, scoring 22 points and grabbing eight rebounds, and Hollis Thompson scored 18 points on 3-of-6 three-pointers, and it was the two of them who scored consecutive points in the third quarter to suppress the Nuggets' only comeback of the game, leaving all the spectators who thought the 76ers might start a new losing streak with a swollen face.

"Only 0 points in 37 minutes! Rookie crashing into the rookie wall? ”

Su Qun frowned slightly, looking at the huge headline on the tablet in front of him, which was the headline on the latest "Sports Weekly" HD. He skimmed through the contents at a glance, and suddenly patted his head, his fingers quickly operated on the tablet, and soon found a previous news:

"Whose fault is it that the winning streak is over?"

"Hmph, it's really a rhythm to tear." Su Qun pursed his lips and snorted disdainfully from his nostrils, and he was naturally able to see what kind of frustration existed in these two seemingly fair reports. Although the first report did not name names, and there was no big problem with the description of the game scene and the data cited, it only vaguely pointed out the author's "family words" at the end, but the words were not too thorough.

The second report is relatively straightforward, Ding scored 0 points for the whole game, but he scored 8 assists, and it was his consecutive assists that helped Covington and Thompson open the score at key moments in the third quarter, which is also true, but 0 points is not a reasonable performance for starters after all, even if he is caught with pigtails and makes a fuss, he can only consider himself unlucky.

If the first story is a landmine that doesn't start, then the second story is a lead with a spark, and connecting the two stories together makes it easy for readers to conclude that Ding Wei is the culprit of the 76ers' loss to the Celtics. The highest level of flickering is not to directly tell others how to do it, but to guide the person who wants to flicker to figure out how to go up through a series of layouts. It's not what I'm talking about. It seems that the concoctors of these two reports must have watched Uncle Benshan's sketches on a regular basis, and they have evolved from one tendon to two blocks.

Just as he was thinking about what mystery was hidden in these two reports, the door on the other side, which had been closed, suddenly opened. Duan Xiaoran sat across from him with a laptop in his arms.

"Ding Wei's agent contacted me just now."

"The reaction is really fast......," Su Qun muttered, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"Just telling us about it, nothing else. I think. They are also looking at our attitude. ”

"And what kind of attitude do you think we should have?" Su Qun pondered for a moment and suddenly asked rhetorically.

"Now this matter is not just a matter between Sports Weekly and Ding Wei, we are the first domestic media to get an exclusive interview with Ding Wei, I think we need to make some of our own voices, but in terms of wording, is it okay...... After all, most of their reports are facts that have already happened, and it is difficult to refute them. ”

"No, you have to respond positively." Su Qun clenched the reading pen in his hand, and the expression on his face became solemn, "Old Duan." This is an opportunity for us, we all know that the Chinese who are famous in the NBA are currently only Ding Wei, and maybe there will be Zhou Qi in the future, but Zhou Qi and Ding Wei are different, he is a player from China, but all players from China, if they are asked to choose between Sports Weekly and us, you know how they will choose. ”

"Hmm."

"So we have to take a gamble this time, if we win, Ding Wei alone can make us the best print media in the domestic basketball field. And even if you lose. It doesn't necessarily have a bad impact on us. Now is the age of the Internet, the audience needs to hear all kinds of voices, if we still follow the previous logic to do the media, we can only follow the ashes of others. Even if we have some resources and capital now, but what if we have enough to eat for a few years? ”

Duan Xiaoran looked at Su Qun in front of him, a raging fire was gradually rising in the latter's eyes, the last time he saw Su Qun's expression, it was when "Basketball Pioneer" was just created, he still remembered the eighteen heroes back then. In a small office, the scene of holding two pots in a paper cup and shouting the slogan hoarsely.

Basketball pioneer, I am the only one!

Although the circulation of today's "Basketball Herald" has increased more than 100 times compared with the first publication, and its status in the domestic media is also rising, but there is always a big mountain in front of it, in order to climb over this mountain, they have worked hard for a long, long time, and they have almost forgotten about it, although he can say that he has worked hard for ten years, but in the past ten years, what have he done in the past ten years, which of the things he has done are related to the original slogan?

Duan Xiaoran looked at the desktop on the notebook that was a little out of step with the glossy theme of -8, it was an old photo that needed to be copied into the computer with the help of a scanner, and he and his comrades-in-arms were still full of green faces at the time, and now they have all started a family and gone their separate ways, and those who stick to it here are less than one-third of the original one, and he and Su Qun are one of the few people who have achieved fruit on this photo. He couldn't help but think of the song that was played repeatedly on the music radio station he inadvertently clicked on in the middle of the night:

"Have all the original wishes been granted? Do you have to pay tribute now? Let the years dry and the ideal can no longer find the real me......"

……

(Do you remember the story here?) ）”

"Ding, you sing so well, haven't you considered releasing an album yourself?" Hollis Thompson hugged Ding Wei's head in his arms amid the applause and whistles of the comedy five, and the thick chest hair on his body could be felt even through the thick sweater.

"Hollis...... You let go first, I think I'm about to suffocate......" Ding Wei finally broke free from Thompson's restraints, and said while panting, "Actually, I'm not very good at singing." ”

"Are the Chinese all as humble as you? This is not a virtue in the United States. ”

"Not really, Hollis. How old are you this year? ”

"24Ah, why do you ask this?"

"It's only 24...... I thought you were the oldest of us......"

"He is, when Clinton was elected, he still had one vote." Henry Sims grinned wickedly with a mouthful of big white teeth. In fact, he is the eldest of the group in terms of age, but he always claims to be 18 years old.

"That's right, hahaha......"

“……”

"And what were your dreams when you were kids?" Ding Wei looked at his teammates who were laughing and asked such a question.

"We're all adults, can you not ask this question......" Thompson, who was scuffling with Himms, suddenly squirmed. He was the focus of attention in the room.

"What's this, my dream is to eat all the world's food and soak all the world's beauties!" Henry Simms was unashamed.

"Henry, did you start growing a beard when you were in first grade?" Tony Roten asked with a smile.

"My dream was to be the main center of the Kentucky Wildcats, and I did, hahaha." Nolens-Noll smirked.

"My dream was to collect all the trucks in the world, and I have a whole bunch of them now...... Model. Robert Covington scratched his scalp and said.

"My dream is to travel to China, and with Ding, I think my dream will come true soon." Tony Roten said, "Hollis, we're all done, it's your turn, right?" ”

Under the pressure of everyone's eyes, Hollis Thompson finally said his dream in a slur way: "Actually, I want to be a writer......"

"Hahaha......"

"Hahaha, it's not ridiculous," Ding Wei's expression gradually became serious, "Hollis, now." Is this still your dream? ”

"Uh," Hollis-Thompson hesitated, then nodded earnestly, "That's right." It's still my dream. ”

"So, have you worked hard for your dream?"

"Of course!" Hollis Thompson suddenly became excited, "I'll show you something, but after reading it, you are not allowed to laugh." ”

Hollis Thompson rummaged through the photo album of his phone with his head down, quickly. I found a photo: "This is a photo I took with Stephen King when I was 11 years old, and he is the author of The Shawshank Redemption." ”

"Oh, I know, that movie!" Henry Sims suddenly shouted, "I remember it was the ...... I watched with my 12th girlfriend"

Tony Roten glared at Simms fiercely, "Listen to Hollis continue." ”

"But my favorite is his "The Dark Tower", maybe I will soon be able to see its adaptation on the big screen, but I think only by reading it in person can I feel how cool his world is, even though I have written 7 films, and unfolded so many plots and foreshadowings, I still can't guess what the ending will be, and some readers even wrote to him that they were dying and wanted Stephen King to tell him the ending."

Although "The Dark Tower" is not such an obscure work, it is already like a book in heaven for them whose minds are mostly made up of muscles, not to mention that this novel has as many as 7 books as thick as bricks, it is hard to imagine that Hollis Thompson can read such a set of books, and more than once.

"Since then, I've been wondering if I can write a novel like this, but I'm a little sad to find that I can't, even if it's a short story of tens of thousands of words, and I haven't published it in any newspaper or magazine. If you don't believe me, I can show you my manuscript at home, as well as electronic documents. Hollis Thompson had a weeping expression, and no one dared to imagine that this black man still had such a literary heart.

"We believe in you, Hollis." Tony Roten pats Thompson on the shoulder.

"That's right." Sims nodded emphatically.

"Hollis, you're really good, are you still going on?" Ding Wei asked softly, his eyes were refracting a strange light.

"I believe that if I work hard, one day, I will succeed!" Thompson did not answer Ding Wei's question directly, but spoke his mind in an unquestionable tone.

"That's right, we'll all succeed," Ding Wei gave a thumbs up to everyone in the room, "Do you know why I'm asking this question?" ”

Everyone shook their heads in surprise.

"Dreams, we all have them, but what do we think of them, and what have we done for them? Maybe now we think that initial dream is a bit naïve, but why is that? It's because we've given up on our dreams. Not everyone is as lucky as Nolens, and not everyone has been persevering like Hollis, maybe the dreams of the vast majority of people are destined to give up and sacrifice, but I don't want to give up, let alone sacrifice. ”

"From the day I entered this team, I dreamed of one day being able to stand on the podium of the championship, and I'm sure you have had that dream too, but the reality is cruel, we are still quite far from the playoffs, but when you are close to your dream and you can touch it with just a hand, do you still feel that this dream is a dream? It seems out of reach, at least until we implement it. ”

"But that doesn't mean we have to keep our dreams in our album forever, as a memorial to our youth, and it doesn't mean that we can be complacent about getting closer to our dreams, we had the best record of the season in January, but the whole season is only halfway through so far, there are more games waiting for us to play, waiting for us to win, how can we win? Many people may say that the winning team doesn't need to change, but unlike us, our goal is not just to win now, but also in the future, far, far and far from now, and we have to keep winning until we really achieve our dreams. ”

"What do I want to do for my dreams, you guys?"

…… (To be continued.) )

ps: Xiaomo also has his own dream, but the realization of this dream needs everyone's help, please vote!
