You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 12 The Dream Comes True
"'Eat call' Philly!"

Meichen prepared a table favorite: fish and chips, sandwiches and sweet milk.

She is British. Wei Mingliang said that he would be very happy if he had a wife who could speak Chinese.Out of love for her husband, Mei Chen learned Korean Chinese because her Chinese teacher is Korean.

Wei Xia walked out of the room lightly, had already changed his clothes, finished breathing and rinsing, his face was flushed, and he didn't look like he had cried at all.

"Little Kobe is here!" Because Wei Xia decided to go to Lower Merion to study in high school because he wanted to be the second Kobe, so Wei Qiu gave him this nickname.

If he ignores the slight ridicule in his words, Wei Xia still likes others to call him that.

The eldest sister is like an old lady on the street who keeps asking Wei Xia why she came home late and went to bed early yesterday.

Until Mei Chen couldn't listen anymore, let the children eat well and don't talk too much.

Wei Xia is very happy that his mother made "fish and chips" today. This is the national dish of Britain, and its status cannot be shaken.The British have the same belief in sea fish and potatoes.A gift, or legacy, from the days of the Industrial Revolution.According to Mei Chen, in the UK, as long as you pay 5 pounds, a whole fried cod, served with a large handful of crispy French fries, wrapped in newspaper, and eaten while walking, I don’t know how many people are addicted to this feeling.

In addition to dim sum, fish and chips is one of the few foods that Mei Chen makes that can be served in the hall.

Wei Xia quickly finished his portion and hurried to school, forgetting to say goodbye to his family.

"Maybe he really has something to do." Wei Qiu muttered while staring at his brother who had gone away.

Mei Chen said softly: "Don't think about it, eat it!"

Even though Wei Mingliang said what he said to Fatty in his dream last night, he was still not sure that it was not a dream.Maybe that was really what Havlicek said and that fat guy was really his dad?So six years before he was born, was Dad so fat?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt strange. If it wasn't a dream, based on his family's connection with Havlicek, Dad should have told this story a long time ago, and he wouldn't wait until today.You know, since he was 5 years old, every time he saw them, his grandfather kept saying "Hondo stole the ball from the 76ers, and I stole the ball from Hongdo!"

Entering the class, Wei Xia tried to communicate with Havlicek with his classmates.

But who would be interested in a basketball star who has no star flavor and retired before they were born?

At this time, 21 years have passed since the era when Havlicek prevailed.

The memory of two generations is sealed in the corner of history, and it takes a lot of effort for the new generation to understand it.

"Havlicek? Oh, is it a star of which era?" Dick Long's first reaction when he heard Havlicek was like this.

Li Zhongxian shook his head happily when he heard the words: "I have never heard of it, but this name is very similar to the workers who often come to my business."

Great Hong Do, forgive these two ignorant idiots!
It took Weisha about two classes to be convinced that he couldn't get to know Havlicek through his peers, and then he naturally thought of Kubu Kiefer.

Not only was he one of the oldest men at Lower Merion High School, but he was also a living fossil of the Aces. More importantly, Hondo's peak was in his middle age.

Wesha made the right decision.

Wei Xia took the initiative to ask about Havlicek, and was very surprised: Keefer was very surprised, "Why did you suddenly ask him?"

"Is it convenient for you to talk to me?" Wei Xia asked.

"Of course, he's a living legend." Keefer laughed.

Kiefer first told Weshak that Havlicek had eight rings, only fewer than Sam Jones and Bill Russell, and then focused on his stealing the 1965ers' serve at a critical moment in 76, so that the Lord of the Rings' fame would not be discredited, and locked the final championship, undoubtedly the best steal in history.

Hearing this, Wei Xia murmured in his heart, um, and then that ball was stolen by his grandpa - we will talk about this later.

Then Keefer started to say something that Wesha hadn't heard.

For example, Havlicek has habitually played 16 minutes to 42 minutes every night in his 46-year career. When the Cardinal was the head coach, he had a set of tactics that now seem very old-fashioned.The key offense and defense, when it's time to attack, let full-time offensive players play, and when it's time to defend, let full-time defensive players play.And Havlicek is both offensive and defensive, so he is always left on the court.

In his last season, every away game, opponents would overwhelm him with gifts.

Send a car, send a house, send money everything you expect.

He was so great, he was like a business card of the NBA to white Americans at that time, but now people can’t even spell his name correctly, and it’s a crime for a street writer to spell his name as Havlicek in his four consecutive basketball novels.

Kubu is not an encyclopedia. He can only tell Wei Xia what he knows about Havlicek and the short stories that modern people cannot find through encyclopedias, not to mention that there is no encyclopedia yet.

"Then his last battle, do you know?" Wei Xia asked.

"I'll never forget it!" Kubu raged. "That's why I can never forgive CBS! They didn't broadcast Hondo's retirement match live, and Hondo's retirement match was taped as usual, that's Hondo! Damn, they didn't even show the end of the game, and they didn't even broadcast the celebration after the game!⑴"

⑴They also don't fucking broadcast Jimmy Carter's pre-game speech, so I didn't realize that I skipped the main event in the middle of writing! ! !That belongs to the president, damn it!

Wei Xia asked nervously: "Then...how did he perform? I mean I don't, I mean Hondo, did he perform well in that game?"

"I can only say that for the first time in my life, I regret that I didn't go to the game live." Kiefer said excitedly to Wesha, "It was definitely the greatest retirement battle ever! You know? Hondo showed a side that he never had in the last battle of his career-selfishness! I love this side! This just proves his greatness. He is so comprehensive and has such a talent for acting. How nice that is, damn CBS, we can't even find tape of that game now!"

Wei Xia asked tremblingly, "How many points did he get?"

"36 points! And 10 rebounds! Do you know what is the most important thing?" Keefer laughed, "He took 31 shots and only had 3 assists, and his career assists average is more than that!"
