(This work is the author's debut work, and it took exactly 8 months until today... Please be sure that the author wrote this last chapter with tears of excitement...)
June 2011, 6 ...

After the championship parade in Houston, he smiled and raised the O'Brien Trophy in his hands. After receiving applause from everyone, he made a final concluding speech...

Ron (twitching): "...Thank you...Thank you Houston folks and folks...Ladies and gentlemen..."

"...Actually when I first knew that I only had a 4000 million salary contract to build a team, I did exactly what everyone thought...I said in my heart: 'Damn, Alexander, why don't you just let me die?' (Everyone laughed, and Alexander applauded silly and happy)"

"...I originally thought that the purpose of our existence was to let those local rich teams who dismembered and dug out their hearts and souls beat us from time to time... But, thank God, in fact, we have been beating them for most of this season..." (Cheers from the audience...)
"...So, we found the best 15 people in the world who match the atmosphere of our team, so we also have one, we think the best leader in the world—Yao Ming...I know, on the road to victory, there were hardships and difficulties, and there were doubts...But everyone still gritted their teeth and persisted until the end...Lermontov once said: People live to see how tomorrow will be different from today. And our difference is—"

"—The-champions!"

Ron, the magical manager from the east, held up the championship trophy to everyone who admired him. In this hot summer, for himself and the fans of the entire space city, he really erected the clues of an immortal dynasty...

...

"He's handsome, isn't he majestic?" When Olajuwon applauded with satisfaction from the audience, the chubby brother Brett beside him also smiled and nodded frequently...

It's just that in Bright's mind, a tiny seed is sprouting...

Whenever you see the people you are most familiar with around you, when they become famous and attract the attention of all people, when you are happy, you will ask yourself irresistibly-"Why not me?"

yes!Why can't I be like him?
He's...a bit grim...sometimes still...

It might be hard at first...

But I might as well be as good as him...

People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants.Those who indulge their souls will eventually lose their true freedom...

Brett slowly walked out of the parade crowd, he took out his mobile phone, and exported a text message from Los Angeles in the recycle bin...

For a while...

...

June 2011, 6 ...

When he appeared at the Toyota Center with his hands in his pockets strolling around the courtyard, and "just happened" to stop in front of an old Taoist who was about to leave wearing an ancient Chinese Taoist robe, the two looked at each other and smiled...

Ron said happily: "Do you really want to go? Don't think about it again?"

Qing Itachi chuckled: "...Uh, I originally planned to retire...Although it's a pity for the long-term VIP members of the Houston nightclub that just opened..."

Ron was half-joking and half-serious: "Although I understand your habits, I still can't help but persuade you - stay, let's continue to create a piece of history..."

"Haha..." He waved his hands and laughed loudly: "Come on, you really think that your shit luck can be so lucky every time? The Western Conference finals grab 7 Tracy McGrady, and the finals 6 and 7 games were two consecutive victories. Let's not talk about it... When these uncrowned kings retire, I will give you another 4000 million. Can you sign a CBA teammate?"

"...However, as far as you are concerned, you have done a good job...but you have made up your mind to go out of poverty... Retiring after you have finished your work, you are alone, it is the style of a poor person..." He smiled and patted Ron on the shoulder: "...You have a long way to go, and you will cherish it..."

Ron didn't stop too much anymore, it would be a bit hypocritical to persuade him any more, he just smiled at his old friend, reminiscing about the years when the two fought together...

"...Oh, that's right!" While thinking about it, he suddenly came back again: "...Actually, there is a small matter that Pindao has been holding back in his heart, and he didn't tell you...In fact, Pindao found out that Paul George entered the Toyota Center, and he felt rebellious...What is it..."

"That's right... In that draft, in order to select Cousins ​​and George at the same time, I gave Cousins ​​the No. 5 pick. In fact, I agreed with him before..." Ron fell silent, and then suddenly Lele: "Okay... Hurry up and go to your fairy days, haha! Remember to come back often!"

"...Well! Now that you have this VIP membership card, Pindao must..." He didn't continue, but just smiled wretchedly to himself...

...

On June 6, he participated in O'Neill's retirement conference, and saw the bitter but proud tears of the old shark after the meeting...

On the same day, Iverson verbally announced his retirement in Philadelphia, ending his 15-year NBA career...

"...I have no regrets in this life...Thanks to Houston!" He smiled and kissed his ring finger, where the place for the championship ring has been reserved first...

...

Finally that day came...

When Yao Ming was in a suit and leather shoes, when all the Rockets, including the retired Shaquille O’Neal, and Iverson were all in formal attire, the 34-year-old McGrady finally finished his career as a player...

Ron arrived at the venue early on, and stayed away from the media and reporters...

Because this time he wants to hand over the protagonist to the greatest Red No. 1 in his heart...

Or that pair of iconic sleepy eyes...

He came out smiling...

Then he turned his back and glanced at the Toyota Center behind him with a sigh...

"...Today, I am very proud..." I was already choked up at the beginning...

Under the cheering applause from everyone present, he nodded his head and choked up his sobs again...

If he retired, he said it once last year, and then returned to Houston.

Everyone believed that this time it was true, because this time he made a serious announcement in front of ESPN's live broadcast cameras across the United States at the Toyota Center.

Because he completed the precipitation before making the decision this time.

Returning to Zhengrong, he has experienced the most perfect NBA finals and achieved his dream, it is time to go...

McGrady said: If I can't take on the role that I think I can take on, it's time to end.

The life of a superstar is a memory, so Maddie decides it's time to end it.

Only when it is over, it is particularly delicious to recall.

The memory of McGrady will always be full of regret.Some people say that it would be great if McGrady worked harder.His former head coach Van Gundy said: "There is a law that says that if a person wants to become an elite in a certain field, he needs to spend at least 10000 hours of hard training. But there are indeed talented people, such as Tracy McGrady. He may spend one-tenth of the time required by this law, 1000 hours of training, but his own talent is really amazing."

If you try harder, maybe the ending will be different...

Others said that it would have been better if McGrady had fewer injuries. The back injury has plagued him for many years. If luck is better, maybe the ending will be different.

He can even add 1, 2, or even more championships to Space City...

But there are no ifs in life, what happens is history, and history cannot be changed and can only be accepted.This is McGrady's career, even if it is full of regrets and ifs, but this is his career, and this is the memory McGrady left to the NBA world.

McGrady is a special star in a special era.

Because of Yao Ming, the globalization of the NBA has taken a huge step forward.McGrady is star-studded in this era.The glory of his career was in Orlando, in Houston, but most importantly in Houston.That reddish past crossed the Pacific Ocean and remained in the collective memory of a large and somewhat terrifying generation.I was one of the witnesses of the Rockets' past, and my memory of McGrady is also the fiery red of the Rockets.

I remember McGrady's words: "Some great things will happen here." He said this at the fan meeting announcing his joining the Rockets.McGrady's arrival is a big event in Houston.On that day, the Toyota Center, the Rockets' home court, was open to the public free of charge, and fans spontaneously poured into this huge arena to welcome the Rockets' new players.His arrival is not only the arrival of a superstar, but also the arrival of hope.

An excellent insider and an outstanding outsider have built the basic prototype of the championship, just like O'Neal and Kobe, since Yao Ming is O'Neal's successor, McGrady is an excellent small forward like Kobe, why can't Houston expect a championship?

I hope that the fans in Houston will be excited. They shout and applaud McGrady, hoping that the day of their dreams will come sooner.

McGrady was also excited, looking at the excited faces in the red T-shirts, he said: "It is nothing to me to join here and wear Rockets clothes. So many fans embraced me and welcomed me. This is the happiest thing. I know that some great things will happen here. Here are Yao Ming and Van Gundy, a great city, a great team, and they have won two championships in a row. Yao Ming and I can become another pair of O'Neal and Kobe. We will win the championship together with Van Gundy. "

Later, the Rockets edited the phrase "some great things will happen here" into the highlights before the start of the game. It was broadcast on the big screen in the arena before every game, and it was written into the memories of Rockets fans year after year and day after day.

I remember that magical 35 seconds and 13 minutes.That was simply a miracle in basketball history.It was also the brightest moment of McGrady's career.Any video collection about McGrady on the Internet must have such a paragraph.On the day McGrady announced his retirement, this video was once again rebroadcast in the online world.This magical moment was later changed into an advertisement with the slogan: Even God was moved to tears.I remember 2 minutes before the end of the game, the stands at the Toyota Center were mostly empty.It was a Thursday, and there was still class the next day. The Rockets trailed by nine points. Although the point difference seemed not too big, the veteran Spurs' ability to control the rhythm was hopeless.Fans started leaving, many of whom had bought tickets for a season and missed the moment of miracles that never happened.In the last 35 seconds, McGrady looked like he could beat the whole world.For the last three-pointer, there were two defenders in front of him, with three arms outstretched, but McGrady saw nothing but basketball. He threw the basketball, and the arc of the ball flew across the sky like a blade.Later, the Rockets made this moment of McGrady into two photo frames, one with photos of each goal, and the other with an oil painting of McGrady's magical shot. He jumped high in the air and flew to shoot.These two photo frames were auctioned off by Yao Ming at a high price.So far, these two photo frames are still hanging in Yao Ming's home.

I remember McGrady's back injury.It seemed to be his fate, a random bomb that detonated.I remember that a few days after he started his second season with the Rockets, he had an ordinary training session.The waiting room adjoining the training ground was filled with journalists, and everything seemed to be uneventful.Suddenly, the door leading to the training ground was slammed open, and the media officer of the Rockets looked nervous and hurriedly opened up.Behind the media officer was the team doctor, the security officer and another staff member. Three strong men carried McGrady and walked out.McGrady was shirtless, with a pained expression on his face, sweat all over his body, and howled in a low voice.The reporters were dumbfounded, and no one knew what happened.The three carried Maddie into the car and drove to the hospital.Two days later, McGrady showed up at the Toyota Center for treatment.After the treatment, holding the mobile phone, hunched over, and walking to the parking lot with difficulty, her posture was no different from that of an old lady with small feet.He said he had been walking bent over like this for three days.

He returned eight days later and scored 35 points to end the Rockets' losing streak.In good times, McGrady still looks so amazing, but you don't know when he will be injured or when he will have a truce.He himself said: "Sometimes, if nothing happened the day before, you can still get 30 points. But when you wake up, something is wrong. You can't sit up from the bed at all, and you have to walk arched. I don't know when it will be good. It may be that I wake up, everything is fine, and I can fly and buckle again."

Everyone sees McGrady differently, and the page with McGrady in everyone's memory is also different. McGrady is McGrady, he is talented, he just doesn't work so hard, he just looks at the world with those hazy eyes that seem to never wake up. This is his way, so he is different from others.

In any case, he has become a long or short common memory of a generation of Chinese fans along with the Rockets.

Today, McGrady's NBA story has come to a complete end...

...

"...I hope that someone in future generations will say that they play like me, like Jordan..." He giggled, leaving the most beautiful memory for his curtain call...

...

After that day, Ron walked to the rooftop, and a new sprout broke out on the originally empty marble floor...

It lives so strong and stubborn...

In this strange environment...

he smiled...

...

Ron's Diary: "A Magnificent Adventure"

When he wrote it, he hadn't been to many places. He traveled with a longing mood, longing for the freedom of mind and body.

After the dream is over, there will be a new dream. Before that, he just wants to find the harbor of his heart...

This title is a lot of questions for him: where is the place he yearns for, what is his future ideal, after thinking for a long time, there is no answer, so he can only hum this melody...

(Ron followed Scarlett's footsteps and traveled all over Europe. I think this should be the most beautiful ending I can think of...)
...

The postmark in the passport is getting denser and denser, but the mood is more empty.

The postcards collected everywhere, the beautiful scenery plastered on the walls, cannot hide the emotions and memories that linger on you...

Where is the next stop?I just started to think about the meaning of travel, but I remembered that I never said "I love you" to you...

Every journey, every relationship, we can never tell its true meaning, but those memories that may be sour or sweet, are pulled out time and time again, bit by bit...

Maybe this is the dream Ron wants...

Simple and moving melody, poetic lyrics, shuttling through the clear and bright sound of acoustic guitar plucked strings during the journey, listening to the scenery along the way and telling a story with singing, about the meaning of travel, about the bits and pieces of memories...

Then who is shouting in the wind - come back quickly... your favorite basketball is waiting for you!

Easter egg 1:

Vienna, Italy…

Ron, who had just got off the plane, was stopped by two people who were breathing heavily...

Behind him appeared a handsome, bloated, but radiant Chinese man...

Ron's pupils gradually dilated, slightly surprised...

"…Who are you!?"

After being slightly surprised, the purpose of these people was already clear to him, but this made him hesitate...

"You are Xin Lancheng! Xin Chairman!"

...

Easter egg 2:

2013...

The bustling BJ Wukesong scene, today's match between the Olympic team and the Taiwan team is particularly eye-catching...

As we all know, in the Asian Championships, Taiwan hacked the Chinese national team in the 1/8 finals, and in this game, the Chinese National Youth Team was entrusted with important tasks...

We must regain the dignity of the national team...

Town of glory...

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the DJ and the fans at the scene, Ron, the Godfather of Houston (Triple Crown) from the other side of the American ocean, appeared at the game site and watched the whole game with a smile...

There are reports that he will become the consul general hired by China, specifically in charge of team formation for the first World Cup...

And this time the national youth team also has many promising stars of tomorrow...

...

Under the watchful eye of the NBA's super basketball manager, the Taiwanese were beaten into a sieve by the Olympic team...

A few people with good physical fitness, such as Zhou Qi, Tao Hanlin, etc., even dunked frequently to vent their anger...

The most striking thing is the kid named Luo Ze...he is only 19 years old this year, but he has shown his extraordinary talent on the court...

The same is 202, the physical fitness is amazing...

Juggling the opponent's possession of the ball, and the last violent dunk bursting out of the frame...

He is like an upgraded version of Sun Yue, and people clearly find that he is a genius boy who is good at expressing himself and has an innocent and bright smile...

...

According to the FLBA rules, China beat Taiwan with a score of 101 to 70...

Quentin Davis was even capped 5 times by Rose…

"This guy is McGrady! Is there any!" A fan screamed behind Ron, who was also very pleased...

...

After the game, Luo Ze, who scored 42 points, 17 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 blocks by himself, was named the MVP of the game. It is only natural for him to accept the awards from the organizers while being cheered by the audience...

"...Congratulations..." When Ron smiled and shook hands with this talented boy, the boy who had been smiling brightly suddenly had that smile on his face in embarrassment...

"...you are Ron?"

Ron smiled and didn't speak...To this day, he is indeed overly deified in China...

"...Are you Ron?" The boy gritted his teeth, and even the organizer broke out in a cold sweat...

"?!" Ron nodded, and then his eyes were strange...

Immediately afterwards, that heavy fist smashed towards the door...

"Fuck your mother!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he punched the apotheosis of Chinese basketball...

Everyone was shocked...

He took off his competition uniform, and while all the staff were stunned, he walked out with his head held high...

"...Ron! Are you alright! Haven't brought that bastard back!"

"...No, there's no need...Maybe he's a Lakers or Heat fan, (pretending to be amused), by the way, what's the kid's name?"

"...Luo Ze! The hottest CBA rookie right now!"

"Luo...Ze?!...What!!!" Ron's eyes almost flew out, his pupils were full of surprise...

.........

　Then who is shouting in the wind - come back quickly... your favorite basketball is waiting for you!
