The basketball team of five people worked on the terraces for several days in a row, and won unanimous praise from the neighbors of Leizhai neighborhood. ”

Long Xiaochuan knew that Abba was talking about the past and the present, but it was by no means the future.

In terms of origin, "Village BA" is a mass movement in which a group of ordinary people from rural areas or small towns and engaged in all walks of life participate.

However, in the past two years, with the increase in the popularity of "village BA", the impact of ball games on the economic vitality of villages, and the rise of short videos and live broadcast platforms, rural basketball will also undergo drastic changes.

Not to mention far away, just Shi Lang from Yucun next door as an example.

Shijiajian opened a video account in the basketball gym, and posted some basketball teaching videos every day to attract parents of children to sign up, and it was easy to earn the first pot of gold.

With the original capital, he can provide young people in Yucun with training opportunities in the form of recruiting coaches far beyond other villages, turning them into semi-professional "non-professional players" who play basketball as a profession.

With the help of such a group of high-level teammates, Shi Lang is likely to get a good ranking in the national "Village BA" event, so as to grow into an Internet celebrity anchor labeled "Village BA".

Becoming an Internet celebrity means that with the blessing of traffic, you will get more income, and it will further promote the improvement of the basketball level of Yucun, thus forming a snowball-like virtuous circle.

This is also the development path that Long Xiaochuan dreams of, he believes that sooner or later the "village BA" will develop into a mature format, and a large number of rural basketball anchors will emerge in the surrounding villages sooner or later.

If Lei Zhai wants to rise, he must make a name for himself before Yucun, and it is not enough to practice hard in this small cottage.

Therefore, after the spring sowing, Long Xiaochuan proposed an idea to his father: "Abba, I want to take the team to break outside." ”

Long Zaitian knocked off the ashes in the pot of the cigarette bag: "What? Think Lei Zhai is too small to accommodate you? ”

"Basketball is, after all, a team sport, and you have to train and sharpen in confrontation. You and Uncle Pan are no longer playing, and we can't find a sparring opponent. Besides, you keep saying that I should find my uncle to come back to play, and I will definitely not be able to contact him if I stay in the village. ”

"Hmm...... Where do you want to go, county seat? ”

"Don't go to the county seat, go to Qiandong City."

Long Xiaochuan explained his plan as calmly as possible, Leiming County is not big, there are only a few small venues where ordinary people can play basketball, it is difficult to see high-level folk gods, and going to the county seat will not help the team's actual combat training.

Qiandong City is the largest city near Thundering Mountain, and it has a very good wild ball environment, if Long Zaiyuan didn't go too far, there is a high probability that he would live in this area.

Taking a step back, even if Long Zaiyuan can't be found in Qiandong City, Long Xiaochuan can still contact some Lei Zhai children who live there, and probably be able to expand the depth of the bench and meet the registration conditions of "Village BA".

Long Zaitian pondered for a while, reluctantly agreed, and took out the 20,000 yuan in cash that was returned by Long Xiaochuan before: "The poor family is rich, everything you need money to live in the city, it is not easy for the five of you to stand firm, I can rest assured that you take this money." ”

"This can't be done, this is what you have saved for a year, I can't ask for it!"

"Silly boy, what's yours and mine, I'm your father, this money will be yours sooner or later!"

Long Xiaochuan insisted on pushing it away: "Keep this money for my sister's marriage." She sold her wedding dress, and you buy her a new set, which must be beautiful and shiny, not worse than the previous one! ”

He explained that he had funds to help the Youth League and Municipal Committee in his card, and the five of them had the strength and strength of their hands and feet, so it was not difficult to settle down.

But Long Zaitian put on the majesty of his parents and forcibly stuffed it into his hand: "Your sister just graduated from high school this summer, and she is not in a hurry to get married, so this money will be used by you first." Now that our village's soil honey has made a reputation, and when we go into the mountains to cut a stubble in winter, Abba can save thousands of yuan. ”

The father and son pushed back and forth, and Pan Lei's shout came from outside the door: "Brother Chuan, we are here." ”

The four of them were tired enough from working on the farm for several days, and when they heard that they were going to the city for a change of scenery, they immediately went home to pack their belongings.

Long Xiaochuan also went out with his luggage.

He only carried a backpack and two handbags, carrying several sets of clothes on his back, the old basketball he brought back with him on his left hand, and the brand new basketball shoes that his sister bought for him in his right hand.

This expensive pair of basketball shoes has not been put on his feet so far, and he is reluctant to wear them.

Now he has the same yellow rubber shoes on his feet as Abba, and a pair of them are sold for 18 yuan at the commissary in the village.

Not only does he usually wear it like this, but in fact, Pan Lei and Luo Gaozhan are the same, they want to be cheap, convenient, wear-resistant and non-slip, whether it is working in the field or training on the court, it is very comfortable.

However, when they were going out of the mountain today, Pan Lei and others were afraid of being looked down upon by outsiders, so they all changed into their original sneakers.

Long Zaitian noticed this, and he asked his son to also replace the yellow rubber shoes: "How can anyone in the city wear this kind of shoes, you will be looked down upon by people." ”

Clinker Long Xiaochuan smiled: "Abba, when did you care about this?" I walk down the street in these shoes, people don't know me, I don't know them, whoever wants to laugh laughs. But when I walk on the basketball court, no one dares to laugh at me. ”

"This kid! You don't care about other people's eyes, and you can't drag everyone down to be laughed at, you are a team, and you have to think more about everything. ”

Long Zaitian said that he was about to snatch the pair of yellow rubber shoes and force his son to put on new shoes and leave home.

Long Xiaochuan smiled and dodged: "No, no, no, the new shoes will get dirty on the dirt road on the mountain, I can't bear to ......"

The father and son chased and fled in the courtyard, just like the scene when Long Xiaochuan first came back that day.

Sun Changxing stood up and stopped Long Zaitian: "Uncle Zaitian, it's a few of us who are small. Ogawa is right, the court is all about talking with basketball, you play well, even if you wear slippers, you are respected, if you don't play well, no matter how good the shoes are, it's a joke. I'm going back to change my shoes, and I'm going to the city in yellow rubber shoes. ”

Pan Lei, Yu Chengyi, and Luo Gaozhan also said: "Yes, we will also change shoes." ”

Long Xiaochuan smiled bitterly: "What are you doing, I didn't have to wear my old shoes because they were broken, so I had to wear these pairs, why should you bother?" ”

Pan Lei grinned: "We are a team, united, what the boss wears, we will wear." ”

Yu Chengyi waved his hand: "Yes, whatever the boss wears, we will wear." ”

"Nerves!"

Long Xiaochuan scolded with a smile, but he didn't stop them.

Not to mention, when only one person in a group of people wears yellow rubber shoes, it really looks like dirt and slag.

But if all five of them wear these yellow rubber shoes, walking on the street with their heads held high, and everyone has a smile of fascination and confidence, it really seems to be a retro trend style that travels through time and space.
