……

In a community on Xujiahui Street in Shanghai, in a room of eighty or ninety square meters, two people were drinking and watching the game.

What is being broadcast live inside is the match between the CBA Shanghai team and the Tianjin team in the 2022~2023 season.

“OMG！ Xiao Ding scored 8 points in a row! Four-character foreign aid is back! The excited voice of the Shanghai team's home commentator came from the TV.

Ding Yanyuhang, who joined Shanghai in the new season, swept away the sluggish state of the first three games, and scored 18 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

"Lao Xu, if you can still play, your performance will definitely be better than Xiao Ding." Cai Xiao pointed to Ding Yanyuhang, who was celebrating on TV, and sighed.

Xu Yong was stunned when he heard this, if he hadn't had that disease, he would indeed still be playing at the age of 33.

But there are so many ifs in this world.

"Lao Cai, if you didn't study in college and play professionally, I should be sitting here and watching you play now." Xu Yong also said with a smile after coming back to his senses.

Cai Xiao laughed when he heard this.

I think that he and Xu Yongna were the twin stars of Wuai Middle School, he played double guard Xu Yong as a small forward, and the cooperation between the two was called a tacit understanding.

But after laughing, he shook his head, looked at Xu Yong and sighed: "Even if I didn't go to college, I should retire at this time, but old Xu, you are really a pity!" If you hadn't gotten that disease, you'd have made it to the NBA. ”

"Don't talk about the past, drink." Xu Yong raised his glass.

"My pot, my pot." Cai Xiao patted his chest and raised his wine glass.

The two finally had a chance to get together, and he brought up the stubble again.

It's just a pity that they are outsiders, but for Xu Yong, the client, it is a regret that will be difficult to settle in his life.

Not long after, the two were half drunk, and the live broadcast on TV had ended.

Although Ding Yanyuhang played well, the Shanghai team still lost the game 99-105.

"I'll go to the bathroom." Xu Yong got up as he spoke, and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table.

Cai Xiao nodded, picked up the cigarette case, poured out a cigarette and bit it into his mouth, and thought about it, only to find that the lighter had been taken away by Xu Yongshun.

Xu Yong staggered to the door of the bathroom, pushed the door in, sat down and lit a cigarette.

As the smoke filled, his heart was also full of emotion.

Originally, when he reunited with Cai Xiao's old friends, it was easy to look back on the past, and Ding Yanyuhang came back from injury to play so well, that kind of empathy made his memories come out.

In the end, Cai Xiao's words completely broke those memories that were deliberately sealed in his heart.

In the past, how much he liked to play basketball, and how talented he was!

At the age of sixteen, he went to the United States to participate in Adi's training camp, won the MVP and dunk king, and took a photo with "The Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell;

At the age of seventeen, he reproduced Carter's 360-degree turning windmill dunk in the slam dunk contest and won the championship in one fell swoop;

At the age of eighteen, he averaged 18.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 blocks per game on 56.4% shooting in the CBA;

At the age of nineteen, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team at that time, Younas, had already recruited him into the national training team, and if nothing else, he would appear on the field of the 08 BJ Olympics.

It was at that time that Team Yao signed him and had already begun to prepare for the NBA draft.

He's really infinitely close to the highest temple of basketball in the world.

But......

He took a deep drag on his cigarette.

But ah, fate played a big joke on him!

Malignant central osteosarcoma of the spine, which he had never heard of, was said to have occurred in him only one in 100,000 at that time.

If you have this disease, you can't live without surgery, but after surgery, you won't want to play professional basketball again in this life.

He had no choice at all!

That feeling is like walking on a broad road, but in the blink of an eye, I suddenly found that there was a broken road in front of me.

Regrets?

He has been regretting it for more than ten years!

But what's the use?

It is said that time is the best medicine, but in the end, this medicine still treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

It would be nice if we could give him another chance!

In the turbulent memory, the regret and unwillingness that had accumulated in Xu Yong's heart for more than ten years turned into the strongest desire at this moment.

"Lao Xu, aren't you okay?" Cai Xiao's voice came from the house, which also made him sober up in an instant.

What can you do if you want to do it? It's nothing more than one more sleepless night!

"Alright." Xu Yong calmed his breathing back.

He stood up and reached for the wall, not realizing in a daze that he had touched the switch on the light.

Suddenly, a powerful electric current attacked.

The next second, he lost consciousness.

……

"Xu Yong? Are you okay? How are you?! ”

An unfamiliar voice sounded in his ears, and Xu Yong struggled to open his eyes.

Because of the sudden blankness of consciousness, it took him a long time to concentrate his attention.

What caught my eye was not Cai Xiao's familiar face, but a black man's face.

Déjà vu, but I can't remember it for a while.

However, compared to that face, what puzzled him more at this time were the two options that appeared in front of him.

[Injury Immunity], and [Krypton System].

He waved his hand and rubbed his eyes again, those two options were always there, just like the countdown given to Wang Miao by the Three-Body Man.

He's ...... Already dead?

"You're finally awake, and you're scared to death." The black man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Yong's movements.

The two were fighting in the air just now, and Xu Yong suddenly fainted after landing.

Xu Yong didn't care about what he said, but looked around at the two options in front of him.

It was an indoor basketball court, and there were many players in training uniforms standing around, all of whom were looking at him with concern.

He couldn't remember the last time he played, and subconsciously raised his hands in front of his eyes.

Then he froze.

These hands are strong and powerful, and they are obviously not the same as his fleshy hands.

Looking at the options that appeared in front of him, the most immediate reaction in his mind at this time was: He, crossed?

He also reads novels, especially basketball novels, and the book "Kryptonite Invincible in Basketball" cost him a whole month of cigarettes.

"What do you call me?" He lowered his hand and turned to the other person to ask.

"Xu Yong, you shouldn't have hit your head, right?" The other party looked nervous and wanted to reach out and touch his head.

Xu Yong stretched out his hand to stop him, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm fine, but I have to go to the bathroom." ”

With that, he got up and walked towards the sidelines.

The other party wanted to say something, but he saw that he was walking without any abnormality, and in the end he didn't follow.

Xu Yong walked straight out of the court, and then went to the bathroom.

Once inside, the first thing he did was walk briskly to the mirror.

When he saw the face in the mirror, his heart began to beat rapidly.

This face is green, sunny, and handsome, which is completely different from his original greasy and scruffy appearance.

But, it was indeed his face.

He is still him, but he has become a younger man!

He didn't cross over, but was born again!

The memories in the depths of my mind poured out like a flood that opened the floodgates.

He was in Seattle at the time, and the arena he was in was the Bush High School training facility.

After winning the Adi Training Camp MVP and slam dunk title, he joined Bush High School and stayed in the United States to compete in the high school league.

He subconsciously moved his right leg to make sure there was nothing wrong.

He could have played in Bush High School all the time, but in 2006 he had to return home due to an injury, and then switched to the CBA.

In other words, it was supposed to be 2005, and he was reborn seventeen years ago.

Is this really a rebirth?

Still is...... Just dreaming?

He turned on the faucet and rubbed his face vigorously.

When he looked up and saw that his face was still green in the mirror, he confirmed that he was not dreaming.

He was truly born again!

After realizing this, excitement began to spread in his mind, his body trembled uncontrollably, and even his eyes began to turn red unconsciously.

Did God feel his desire and give him another chance to start over in life?!

He continued to take deep breaths, trying to calm himself.

Finally, I looked at the two options that had been popping up in front of me.

[Krypton Gold System], he reached out and clicked.

A series of introductions popped up in front of his eyes, a thousand words smaller, and the content was very similar to the novel he had read.

He kept pulling down until there was a definite option at the end.

This system can earn money to get krypton gold value to exchange for skill packs, and the money will not disappear, one fish and two eats, which is very tempting.

He didn't confirm it right away, but stepped back, and then clicked on the [Injury Waiver] again.

Unlike the [Krypton Gold System], there is only a simple one-line introduction after this point is entered.

But it was this line of words that made him involuntarily hold his breath.

"Immunity from any injury or illness for the duration of the exemption from the date of confirmation until the retirement of the player's career."

It didn't make him immortal, but it made him burst out of his soul with a longing.

For others, there may be some hesitation, but for him, it is not necessary at all.

He didn't want to prove that any yellow person could play in the NBA, nor did he want to be the first basketball player, he just wanted to know what kind of life he would have if he hadn't been sick.

Instead of backing down, he reached out and clicked on the button that followed the line.

OK.
