The first chapter is back to 2003

28 June 2003.

On the basketball court of Shangjiang No. 1 Middle School.

Cao Jian opened his eyes blankly, and he didn't know where he was for a while.

As he woke up, Cao Jian heard the sound of the ball hitting the ground and making a "peng" and "peng" sound, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that several of them were still his old classmates, who were doing a four-on-four half-game bullfight, and he was one of them.

In this regard, Cao Jian is also confused, what is the situation? He vaguely remembered that he drank a lot of wine with his boss last night, more than 20 bottles of beer, drinking, drinking and then falling unconscious, after that, what happened, he didn't know at all, and woke up to find himself on the court, in his alma mater Shangjiang No. 1 Middle School, and high school friends, doing four-on-four bullfighting.

"Am I dreaming? But is this too true? How come they all seem to be eighteen years old again? Cao Jian looked at these young people, touched the back of his head, and muttered. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he looked at his clothes and hands......

Chicago Bulls Michael Jordan No. 23 jersey, trapeze generation red and white basketball shoes, slender hands......

For a while, Cao Jianru was shocked and froze in place, his inner excitement was uncontrollable, and he exclaimed in his heart: This, this, isn't this the basketball equipment he often wore when he played in high school? What the hell is going on?

In just a short moment, countless thoughts flashed through Cao Jian's heart, and finally, he confirmed one thing:

He was back in 2003 and was 18 years old again.

What's the situation now?

Soon, Cao Jian remembered.

This day is June 28, 2003, for him, but the most unforgettable day of his life, he can't forget, this life may not forget.

Cao Jian is unforgettable for two main reasons:

First, when the results of the college entrance examination came out, he fell off the list.

Second, his virgin career also came to an end today.

……

Just when Cao Jian was stunned, a leather ball smashed towards Cao Jian's front door, Cao Jian ate a ball cake, and the basketball hit Cao Jian's nose, and blood gushed down.

Cao Jian had just eaten the cake here, and a companion wearing the Lakers' Kobe Bryant No. 8 jersey walked over and said, "Ah Jian." You okay? What do you think? Ants. ”

At this time, everyone else also gathered around.

The girl who had been sitting on the sidelines, holding two bottles of drinks in her hands, wearing a baseball cap, smiling all the time, and narrowing her eyes into a line to watch the ball, saw Cao Jian eating the ball cake, and for a while, she was also nervous. Tilt your head, come, I'll pat you on the back. With that, the girl helped Cao Jian to sit down, lifted Cao Jian's head up, and at the same time, unscrewed the lid of the pure water, poured the water on the white palm, and carefully tapped Cao Jian's forehead one by one.

During this process, the girl kept frowning, looking very focused.

People say that serious and focused men are handsome and attractive. As everyone knows, a serious and focused woman is also beautiful and attractive. If this woman is still the person that men like, maybe her heart will be melted.

Even Cao Jian, who has lived for more than ten or twenty years, saw the girl's appearance so attentive and careful for himself, in an instant, his rock-solid heart was melted in an instant, and his eyes were a little hot.

This girl is Cao Jian's first love, called Wang Panpan.

Wang Panpan is the school flower of No. 1 Middle School, the goddess in the minds of male compatriots in No. 1 Middle School, and an unattainable existence, even Cao Jian at that time was no exception.

Since Cao Jian first saw Wang Panpan, he fell in love with Wang Panpan, and all the people in his mind were her, in the cafeteria, on the court, and in the classroom every day...... In Cao Jian's heart, in addition to Wang Panpan, it is still Wang Panpan.

After listening to the love songs of Jacky Cheung and Zhang Xinzhe for a semester, in the end, Cao Jian mustered up the courage to chase her.

Cao Jian is lucky, it just so happens that Wang Panpan likes basketball, and basketball is Cao Jian's strength, which is a specialty he is proud of.

It is precisely because of basketball that Cao Jian and Wang Panpan can get in close contact.

Wang Panpan likes to see Cao Jian playing, and Cao Jian also likes Wang Panpan very much.

Because of basketball, they became very good friends. However, not lovers. I don't know why these two people have a tacit understanding, and they are unwilling to break the current relationship.

Cao Jian remembers that this relationship lasted for two and a half semesters, and it did not end until today. After playing today, he went to confess and succeeded, and he also gained Wang Panpan's **.

Thinking of this, Cao Jian, who should have been very excited, was not excited at all.

Because, the beauty of Cao Jian and Wang Panpan seems to have reached its peak after the first goodbye between the two parties, and the relationship between the two sides began to slowly cool down, slowly cooled down, and finally, disappeared into nothing.

Thinking that Wang Panpan would not be long after, he would be thrown into the arms of other men because of money, thinking of her betrayal, and thinking of the harm she had done to him, Cao Jian's heart was very complicated.

First love is the most impressive for every man, even Cao Jian is no exception, thinking of the time when Wang Panpan broke up with him, that indifferent eyes, and that mocking words, Cao Jian's heart couldn't help twitching, his heart hurt, it hurts, even after more than 20 years, he thought his injury was healed, but now he found out that this was just his own nonsense, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Probably feeling Cao Jian's gaze, Wang Panpan, who was treating Cao Jian's wounds, suddenly looked at Cao Jian, and saw Cao Jian's eyes looking at her without blinking, she smiled slightly, and her beautiful big eyes winked at Cao Jian playfully twice.

Cao Jian and Wang Panpan are already very familiar. It's so ripe that it's just about to pierce the film. They often make this kind of joke.

But what Wang Panpan didn't know was that she was still her at this time, but Cao Jian was no longer the same.

The current Cao Jian sees Wang Panpan is not a simple and lovely her, in his mind, what he can never forget is that when Wang Panpan dumped him, the indifferent eyes and the sarcastic words......

All of this, for Cao Jian, seems to be yesterday.

Cao Jian couldn't forget the harm she had done to him, even if he knew that she was going to confess to her tonight and succeeded, and she also knew that tonight she would show him her ** that she had kept for eighteen years, but Cao Jian felt that all this could not make up for the scars in his heart, so he was ruthless, snatched the tissue from Wang Panpan's hand, pushed Wang Panpan away, and said indifferently: "Get out of the way." I'll do it myself. ”

After speaking, Cao Jian didn't care about the reactions of others, stood up from the ground, walked under the basketball hoop to pick up his things, and said to his companions: "If you have something, go first." ”

He left without looking back.

Wang Panpan also felt that Cao Jian was very strange today, but it was strange there, and she couldn't say it, although Wang Panpan was very fierce to her just now, she still followed, walked side by side with Cao Jian, touched Cao Jian with her shoulder, and said softly: "Cao Jian." What happened to you just now? ”

Cao Jian glanced at Wang Panpan, smiled politely, and said softly, "It's nothing?" Went first. ”

"Alas. Then why did you do that to me? Wang Panpan asked.

Cao Jian didn't answer, but quickened his pace and walked away without looking back.

Wang Panpan has been chasing behind, but where does Cao Jian want to run to catch up with her? Cao Jian's 100-meter speed can reach 11.7, and he is determined to get rid of Wang Panpan, Wang Panpan will never want to catch up in his life.

But Wang Panpan was still unwilling to give up and chased after him, probably because he ran too quickly and stumbled.

Today, she was wearing a white T-shirt with gray super shorts, fell to the ground, her knees inevitably bruised, and for a while, blood came out, staining the ground red, and Wang Panpan grinned in pain, with big round eyes and crystal tears......

Cao Jian, who was hiding around the corner, wanted to rush over and help Wang Panpan take a look, but in the end, he didn't look back and left directly.

Better a finger off than always aching.

Wang Panpan, who fell to the ground, waited for a few minutes, it didn't hurt so much, and finally, she stood up, but because it hurt so much, she was about to fall down again, and at this moment, someone came to help her.

At first, she thought it was Cao Jian, and said in a lost voice: "Cao Jian!! But when she turned her head, she was disappointed.

……

After leaving, Cao Jian also tried his best to suppress his heart and rush back, but fortunately, he was able to suppress it in time, and after half an hour, he was able to calm down.

Cao Jian, who calmed down, thought of a very important thing - how should I go after being reborn?

At this time, Cao Jian was also contradicted and entangled.

He thought about it, and the best thing he did in his previous life was just playing basketball. After graduation, the few things I did, whether it was starting a company or speculating in stocks...... It's all done so badly that it's scum, and nothing is taken out, and now I think about it and I'm ashamed of myself.

But if you still choose to play basketball in this life, will it be too wasteful to get this opportunity to be reborn? Will it be like in the previous life to play in a junior college for a few years or be unknown? Will you waste this great time of rebirth by playing basketball?

But if I don't play basketball, what else can I do?

Cao Jian couldn't think of anything else he could do besides continuing to play basketball?

……

The reason why Cao Jian is in this situation is entirely because of his experience in his previous life.

In his last life, Cao Jian started playing basketball when he was six years old.

When he was six years old, Cao Jian couldn't help but fall in love with basketball after watching the anime "Slam Dunk" on TV. Interest is the best teacher, and that's true. Because Cao Jian really likes basketball, he works very hard, and has a little talent, so he has to play better than his peers.

The ball was played well and the confidence came out. He worked harder to learn basketball, so his skills improved day by day. In such a virtuous circle, the days passed day by day, and when Cao Jian was in high school, his basketball level was very high.

As soon as he entered the first year of high school, he entered the school team and led the first middle school to conquer all the schools in the city. In the three years of high school, Cao Jian ruled the high school basketball scene in Shangjiang City.

As mentioned earlier, it is precisely because of this that he and Wang Panpan came together.

But creation makes people.

Cao Jian wanted to rely on basketball to enter the school, because of the height problem, Cao Jian's height was only 178cm, and he was directly brushed down.

Even so, Cao Jian did not give up playing basketball. He heard that there are all kinds of events in the university that you can participate in, if you play well, you can also enter the CBA, and if you enter the CBA and play well, you can also go to the United States to participate in the draft, among them, **, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, etc.

Hearing this, Cao Jian became energetic.

He also worked hard to study, but he really didn't study well.

I failed the college entrance examination.

Only one junior college was examined. He's on the varsity team, but it's useless.

The level of the team he led is too rubbish.

Cao Jian was difficult to support alone, the team's poor results fell scum, and after playing for several years, no one saw Cao Jian.

Later I graduated.

Looking for a job.

But he doesn't know anything but basketball.

Thinking about starting a company on your own. But it didn't do well and went bankrupt.

Speculating in stocks, it encountered a financial turmoil again.

Almost slept on the flyover.

In the end, I chose to be a physical education teacher in an elementary school, and my life gradually stabilized.

Cao Jian's life has been changing since he graduated, but what has always remained the same is his love for basketball.

After graduating from college, Cao Jian still insisted on playing basketball.

On the basketball court, the people who played with Cao Jian changed a batch, the newcomers continued to integrate in, and the old ones kept leaving, but Cao Jian was still there.

People who play basketball at the same age as him have long since stopped playing, but he is still there.

If he doesn't fight at the same age, he looks for someone younger than him.

Cao Jian's heart has always had a passion as magma for basketball, which cannot be dissipated.

To describe it in a sentence that Cao Jian said when he was young, it is very suitable: basketball has been integrated into my blood and has become an indispensable part of my life. I'm going to play basketball until the day I can't jump, I can't run, I'm in a wheelchair.

In his last life, Cao Jian liked basketball very much, yes.

But that was in the previous life, and after being reborn, Cao Jian was still the same, at least until now. But after experiencing the nightmare of my previous life, when I think about problems, I am not as willful as before, as long as I like it, I will do it.

However, this world is not so simple.

Like is just one of them, you have to see if it's a good fit? Are you up to the task? Can you rely on these to support yourself...... As a middle-aged man, Cao Jian instinctively thought of these questions.

If you use basketball as your means of livelihood, will you still think about the same as in your previous life, you are in your thirties, you have no money, no car, no house, and live in a rented house with your beloved wife......

Faced with the first choice of Cao Jian after rebirth, Cao Jian was conflicted.

I went to buy a pack of Hibiscus King, and smoked it one after another, until he began to feel a pain in his throat and a tightness in his chest, he still smoked one by one, and the time passed minute by minute, and Cao Jian had not yet made a decision.

There are not many opportunities for rebirth, maybe among the 6 billion people in the world, he is the only one, and Cao Jian is very cautious when faced with a choice.

……

The ashtray was full of cigarette butts, and after smoking a pack of Hibiscus King, Cao Jian felt that his mouth was a little bitter, so he washed it with mineral water, and his cloudy eyes just now became clear again, his fists clenched, and he muttered: "Whatever?" It's really not good to be a physical education teacher like in my last life. What about being reborn, if I can't sweat on the basketball court, I won't be happy. I decided, I was going to play basketball!! ”
