(There is only one more today, 3000 words, sorry.) At 5:40 a.m., just after dawn in Beijing in early April, on the playground of Beijing Sport University, there was a sweaty figure doing frog jump training, and the basketball hanging under the basketball hoop was waiting on the side, proving that he was a basketball student.

"The fourth group, 25 frog jumps, up!" Chen Ming is a meticulous performer of his training while cheering himself up, and as the strongest defender at CUBS, he is known as a rare talent player in recent years. What's even more rare is that Chen Ming not only has excellent physical fitness, his academic performance is also quite good, and he even passed the top three in the city No. 1 middle school in the college entrance examination.

"You kid is definitely sick, come to train so early. You say that you can't learn something with your brain, you have to practice sports, these days, high school students who can't get along can practice music and physical beauty! As a fellow basketball student, Chen Bo belongs to the kind of monk who rings the bell for a day, the coach does not urge him to practice, and the coach urges him to practice, so I practice blindly.

"It's hard to make the playoffs this year, so I'm going to have to fight hard." Chen Ming and the fat man holding the pancake fruit next to him chatted about idleness. As a player who has already registered with the Chinese Basketball Association, he can only participate in a higher level of CUBS instead of CUBA, which is more familiar to college students. Chen Ming, who is eager for stronger challenges, is getting closer and closer to his ideal CBA. But suddenly, one day, a man appeared. Let him see another sky and another stage.

He still remembers the day two months ago, when the New York Knicks suddenly announced that the team would hire a Chinese head coach. The moment he saw the TV news, Chen Ming even felt that the end of the world in 2012 was weak. This news is the fighter of the press. At that time, the students also bet that the head coach who had coached Cuba would be blown away by fans all over the world in a month at most.

That winning streak was like a slap in the face of those short-sighted fans.

Wang Xiaomu, this authentic little character. Overnight, he became a magical coach that everyone looked up to. Maybe China can really produce a basketball coach as great as a Zen master.

The so-called layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway. In the eyes of Chen Ming, who is inspired to become a great star and coach, Wang Xiaomu has too much incredible and incomprehensible.

Chen Ming, who studied basketball tactics and on-the-spot command for more than half a year in his freshman year, found that Wang Xiaomu was almost wring into the textbooks, and he should not change people, and disperse when he should concentrate, in other words, Chen Ming is closer to "reasonable" than Wang Xiaomu is currently "reasonable" to directing the Knicks.

But it was precisely this unreasonable command that maintained the current record of total victory. This is clearly a subversion of the great theory!

I must meet Wang Xiaomu. This is the first goal Chen Ming has set for himself. This goal seems out of reach. But somehow, the Basketball Association, which has always been known for its brain-dead, actually gave CUBS a special reward. If you can win this year's CUBS championship. will have the opportunity to go to the United States to watch the NBA playoffs live, and more importantly, be able to get Wang Xiaomu's on-site special training.

This special reward hit Chen Ming's soft underbelly at once, so he set himself a training plan comparable to Durant.

Durant is an NBA training maniac. His success is almost 100% sweat.

Attentive fans can see a number on his shoes: 185.

This number represents the skepticism that Durant has encountered. Someone once said to Durant: If you can't push a 185-pound bench press, you'll never play in the NBA. And that ultimately became Durant's motivation to move forward.

Durant's hardness is not inferior to Kobe's: "I know what Los Angeles looks like at 4 o'clock every morning. ”

When Durant was 8 years old, he had to go mountain climbing every day. It's not 5 or 10 climbs, it's 75 times, sometimes 100 times. Every day, I practice basic exercises such as catching and shooting, ball control, and sliding steps, and sometimes I have to learn duck steps and jump rope continuously. And Durant has to do his homework every day when he goes home, and the content is to copy the 6 steps of the jump shot 500 times, give it to the coach the next day, and then continue to practice.

Before entering the league, Durant had to practice on the court for 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, and he even practiced 1,000 shots a day, and he made 1,000 shots. He is by no means a genius, he just uses every drop of sweat and life to practice a sentence: "diligence can make up for clumsiness".

Chen Ming is sticking to Durant's path at the moment. Like Durant, Chen Ming's family background is not very good, and when he was a child, his weak little body was even ridiculed for "falling down when the wind blows". Chen Ming's love for basketball is also an accident, because his neighbor who repairs motorcycles always shoots basketball at the door, so he also learns to play. Good physical coordination and a natural unyielding personality allowed Chen Ming to skillfully dangle the ball through a group of maintenance workers in 1 week. Of course, this is also thanks to his mother who doesn't care about him, and lets ordinary adults take him to play crazy until late at night.

After entering high school, his height suddenly jumped by 20cm, and he suddenly had one of the 180s that others envied. (180㎡, you deserve it)

At this time, he still followed his skillful ball control and his classmates in junior high school, which attracted the attention of the basketball team coach. You must know that in China, the figure of the first year of high school can be fully qualified for the role of a small forward or even a big forward.

The coach only used one sentence to hook Chen Ming, who originally didn't want to play professional basketball.

"Practice basketball, I guarantee that you will add at least 20 points to the college entrance examination, and if you take a sports special recruitment, you will be allowed to add 200 points."

This is a naked temptation for a high school student who takes it as his mission to be admitted to a good university and glorify his ancestors. How many students fight for 20 points? And it's enough to play basketball by yourself, it's too easy.

The innocent Chen Ming fell into the trap of the basketball coach almost instantly. It wasn't until he graduated 3 years later that he sighed that it was too hard to add 20 fucking points.

Every morning, I read and go to class with my classmates on time, rushed to the cafeteria at almost a flying speed at noon, and then completed the homework assigned by the teacher in the morning for 1 hour, followed by a 40-minute nap. In the afternoon, I had two classes with my classmates, and then I went to the training ground locker room to complete my one-and-a-half-hour basketball practice.

After each training, watching other students who practice sports jogging on the playground to relax or hook up and dissolve is the most emotional moment for Chen Ming. Because he had to rush to the classroom for the last self-study class of the afternoon, which was his best time to catch up on his homework, and the teacher would explain the problem at this time.

This kind of fate is the most tragic in the third year of high school, because there is basically no self-study in the third year of high school. Many times, he crept into the classroom, where there were teachers of various subjects talking about papers. Of course, under the coach's efforts, he also has his own VIP seat, which is the last row of the classroom. He occupies a whole row, and the classroom has a back door for him, just for fear of disturbing other students.

Chen Ming still vividly remembers the tragic situation after his strength every Wednesday, and in order to train his strength, he even took the initiative to ask to practice the same event as the throwing group. When he and the guys weighing more than 200 pounds rolled out the barbell of the same weight, the entire throwing team members almost blinded themselves.

Of course, this also gives the throwing coach an excuse to always motivate the players: "Look at your strength, the basketball team is better than you bench press"; "Look at you, it's really not as good as a generation, the guards of the last basketball team can bench press 200, look at you, one by one is quite self-righteous!"

With his own perseverance and scientific training, Chen Ming has achieved excellent results in less time than others. In the year of the college entrance examination, he did not take the sports single recruitment, but participated in the basketball professional bonus test and directly obtained the special recruitment qualification.

However, he also regretted that in the winter camp selection organized by Beijing, he was politely rejected by Tsinghua University and Peking University due to his height defect. The leaders of these schools who are responsible for recruiting special students only look at one piece of data: height.

Chen Ming's most uncomfortable thing is his height, three years due to the practice of strength too early, has had a certain impact on his bone development, so far he still holds the school's bench press, squat, half squat strength training records, which is too short for a professional player.

As for other colleges and universities, Chen Ming doesn't have to care about special recruitment at all, he can be admitted with cultural courses. With his own strength, can he play a substitute?

When he actually participated in the official competition, he really realized what a luxury and wealth strength is for the Chinese.

As a point guard, he barely met real opponents. Good explosiveness and solid underwriting allowed him to throw his opponent a few streets on the court. Even if someone can catch up, Chen Ming only needs to shake his shoulders, and the other party will disappear from sight as if he has been electrocuted by high voltage.

With speed and strength, Chen Ming rode the savior alone several times, staged the madness of Chen Jianghua abusing South Korea and Japan in the Asian Youth Championships several times, and won victories for the team many times.

It is precisely because of such a perverted existence that Beijing Sport University established a team to break into the quarterfinals of the CUBS North District for the first time.

Although the training on the field is very hard, Chen Ming also knows that as an Asian player, the real career will be short. If you want to extend your career, there's a good way to do it: continue to be a coach. Chen Ming's life direction is to strive to play as a starter in the CBA league, so that even if he retires, he can become a basketball coach in a university.

Wang Xiaomu's birth made Chen Ming's ambition suddenly become a little bigger.
