San Francisco is surrounded by water on three sides, because of its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, the city's outer periphery has a vast sandy beach, and this warm California sun and pleasant spring climate make this West Coast city that the French have dubbed 'romantic and charming', and has become a livable city that many Americans yearn for.

However, San Francisco's romance is usually in spring and autumn, such as the end of August and early September, when the city is extremely hot, and even the sea breeze is unbearable and the whole city is plunged into a hot mist.

At this time, it is noon, the scorching sun shines on the asphalt road of the city, and the hard road surface is a little soft, and people walk on it, there is a feeling of walking on the beach. In this kind of ghost weather, naturally no one goes out, and the hedonistic people of the United States stay in air-conditioned rooms, enjoying the cool and snorting of technology.

But not everyone is like this, at least in an ordinary training ground in the Tiandelon community, there are two slender and skinny children who are concentrating on bullfighting.

The Tunderloon neighborhood is San Francisco's most slum-rich neighborhood, and together with Shirley's dreamy ballet community, it is known as the Golden City's two cowhide boots. Unlike the dreamy ballet, which produces quality dancers, Tydelong is the standard slum of one that is nothing but darkness, stench, hunger, violence and crime.

This situation occurred in the fifties of the last century, when a large number of poor Americans and European, African and Asian continents poured into the city because of the gold mining industry in San Francisco, dreaming of getting rich one day. In the face of the frenzied arrival of outsiders, especially low-income people and even homeless, the government has built a number of public housing - low-rent housing in the center of the city where every inch of land is at a premium.

At that time, most of the people living in these low-rent houses were Chinese, African and Mexican immigrants, the infrastructure was very poor, and there were too few rooms in short supply, and in the 70s of the last century, the government funded the construction of more than 200 low-rent houses, and later this public housing community with more than 400 low-rent houses, San Franciscans called the Tiandelon community.

The location of the Tyndron neighborhood is absolutely good, it is located on the plains of the southern slope of Nob Hill, with the Union Square shopping area to the northeast and the Civic Center area to the southwest, containing 50 streets, bounded by Post Street to the north, Mason Street to the east, Market Street to the south, and Vanis Avenue to the west.

However, because of the quality of the housing and the poor supporting infrastructure, the people living in this urban area are poor, and because drunks are often seen on the roads and corners of Tiandelon, white Americans have nicknamed the neighborhood "wineries".

The Tyndron community is quite famous in the United States, and it is a model of the "poor area" that many sociologists focus on studying, and the movie "When Happiness Knocks" starring the handsome black man Will Smith was filmed in the Tyndron community, and the cathedral that appears many times in the film is the Glade Memorial Church in the Tunderlong community that provides food and other social services for the poor.

But what really made the city famous was not the movie "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", but one of the most famous resistance movements in modern American history, the public housing movement: on an ordinary night in 1977, a young Chinese female worker came home after working a night shift, and it happened to be a power outage in the Tyndelon community, and she had to drag her tired body back to her home on the 8th floor.

However, in the hallway, she was raped by a drunken man, who also threw her from a tall building, and when he saw that she was not dead, he threw her down again......

This bloody murder completely angered the residents of the Tiandelon community, and in order to protest the government's mismanagement of the community and the inadequate facilities, this group of ordinary people from the bottom gathered and launched a rent strike movement, which became known as the San Francisco Public Housing Movement. The initiator of the movement was Lee Mengxian, a human rights lawyer and now mayor of San Francisco.

As someone once said, all resistance movements are activities launched by some people for their own ambitions to take advantage of the ignorance and stupidity of citizens, and the public housing movement has been launched for 30 years, but the infrastructure of the community is still very imperfect, take this course for example, the small course is full of forty or fifty potholes, like the face of a leper, to play on such a course, you can't play on such a course without a good ball control technique.

The two children who are playing are good at their skills, they are about thirteen or fourteen years old, and their height is around one meter seven, probably because they grow too fast and can't keep up with nutrition, the two of them are very thin, but although they are thin, they are not weak, and they are like dragons and tigers leaping between running and jumping, like two sharp javelins.

One teenager broke through with the ball, the other turned sideways to defend, and the basketball beat vigorously on the rough asphalt road, making a 'bang' sound, like a healthy heart. The ball-holding boy suddenly stopped and shook off the opponent and then accelerated again, the defensive boy was caught off guard, although he wanted to return to the defense but there was no chance, the ball-holding boy put away the ball and stopped shooting, only to hear a crisp sound of 'boom', and the ball simply fell into the hoop.

"Hey, look at my pull-up jumper, does it look like Mad Dog West? How about I add a tattoo on my back and embroider a portrait of Delonti West? The young man who scored the goal said with great interest, his stubble head was illuminated by the blazing sun, and his skull was faintly glowing with blue.

The other teenager pouted and said disdainfully, "Don't be like this, Bruce, my dear brother, if you are like Mad Dog West, then I am like SUPER-Z!" ”

As the boy said, the man who attacked with the ball was a brother to him, and the two looked almost identical: big eyes, a high nose, a broad forehead, thick lips, and a handsome appearance. It's just that the color of the skin of the two is a strange gray, and if Chamberlain understands here, the two teenagers are a pair of mixed-race twins, and they are a mixture of black and yellow races.

The younger brother's sarcasm clearly upset the eldest brother, and he threw the ball away and began to chase him, and the two teenagers ran across the potholed pitch in the scorching sun, laughter spilling over the shabby and dirty pitch.

Tired of running, the two of them found a shade and sat down, the younger brother wiped the sweat on his forehead, licked his sticky lips with his tongue and said vaguely: "Brother, I'm thirsty, damn, I really want to have a can of chilled Pepsi now." ”

"Wait, I'll go get water." The eldest of the twins ran out of the hoop to look at the kettle under the basketball hoop, and when he came back with a depressed face, he said, "Michael, you drank too much water just now and drank it all, fuck, next time you have to fill two jugs of water." ”

Hearing this, his younger brother Michael said unconvinced: "What does this have to do with me? I don't seem to have as much water as you, do I? ”

Brother Bruce touched his bare head embarrassedly, looked up at the clear blue sky and sighed: "I heard that SUPER-Z has a training camp, in which you can eat and live, and those lucky guys don't drink Coke in the training camp, only Gatorade!" Michael, you said it would be nice if we went to training camp as well. ”

Michael spread his hands in frustration and said, "It's a dream, Bruce, we usually do so many bad things, and we have just been released from the juvenile control center, we will not be welcomed in the Z training camp, let alone go to the training, we can't do it if we want to go in and take a look." ”

As he spoke, Michael looked longing and said, "It would be nice if I could go to training camp, even if I can't train, even if I can see SUPER-Z with my own eyes, and I dare say that West and Billups must be in training camp too." ”

Although he likes to bully his younger brother, it is obvious that Bruce, the elder brother, loves him deeply, and seeing the longing expression on his younger brother's face, he lowered his head guiltily and did not dare to look at his brother's expression.

But after lowering his head for a while, he suddenly jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Hey, brother, you want to go see Z and West, right?" Big brother, I have a way, I have a way! ”

"Really?" Michael looked at Bruce in surprise, who nodded heavily and said, "Z training camp is at St. Lawrence Middle School, isn't it?" The last time I went to steal the manhole cover with Old Man Larry, the greedy old guy told me that there was a sewer that led directly to the inside of St. Lawrence High School. ”

Hearing this, Michael was depressed, he scratched his head and said, "What kind of good way is this, so that we can also climb over the wall to get in, why do we have to climb the sewer?" ”

Questioned by his younger brother, Bruce obviously felt that he couldn't hold his face, his face turned red, and he shouted: "But this sewer of mine leads directly to the gymnasium, if we climb the wall, they will be driven away before we see Z, but if we can climb into the gymnasium, even if we will be caught, we will be caught by Z and West." ”

Michael tilted his head and thought about it, reluctantly accepted the offer, and said, "Okay, as long as you can see Z, it doesn't matter if you climb the sewer, by the way, how long is that sewer?" ”

"It's short, less than a mile!"

"Damn, what are you kidding, a mile? Are you sure it's a mile and not a hundred meters? ”

"What's the matter, can't you endure this hardship? If that's the case, then don't even think about meeting SUPER-Z! ”

"Fake, what are you kidding, I can't suffer? I don't feel good to go to see Z with a smelly body. ”356。 Brothers
