Chapter 299 Challenge of Life and Death

After leaving the NBA, Gao Shen stayed at home and didn't go anywhere except school.

The reporters squatted for a long time, and they didn't know what he was busy with.

It wasn't until the opening of the new season that Gao Shen returned to the United States and was invited to participate in the unveiling ceremony of the statue and the retirement ceremony of the jersey.

Despite Gao Shen's repeated refusal, construction of the statue started on schedule in the summer and was completed before the start of the season.

The 20-meter-high statue fully embodies the handsomeness of Gaoshen, which is really eye-catching.

Schneider enthusiastically praised Gao Shen's great achievements. Of course, he may not be careless.

If Gao Shen returns to the NBA one day, where else can he go besides Philadelphia?
Forget it, what bad intentions can a boss who is willing to spend millions to erect a statue have?Let him go!
"To be honest, it's kind of embarrassing to see a statue of myself because I'm so young and I don't think I'll live for many years."

Gao Shen's speech made everyone laugh, which also diluted the sadness of the fans at the scene.

But in fact, each team is relieved.

For example, Liu Yudong, who can be called an absolute model worker without missing a game in all games, but how desperate he is if he can't win the championship.

Fortunately, Gao Shen left, and there is hope.

In this game, the digital people wore special four-peat commemorative jerseys, of course to show off, but also to harvest a wave of leeks.

There is a model of Gao Shen stretching out four fingers, as well as the signatures of the champion members, and the gold star representing the number of champions.

Priced at 288, limited to 20 sets, it was sold out within a week. With this trick alone, Schneider collected the players' wages back.

Of course, as a jersey supplier and distributor, Miracle has made a lot of money.

At the beginning of the game, Liu Yudong and Li Nan were in a state of exchanging money with each other. At this time, the importance of other players was reflected.

Obviously, the combination of O'Neal and O'Neal is much better than Ceballos and Divac, allowing the digital man to lead the way.

At the critical moment, Liu Yudong showed his God of War style, exploding on both offense and defense at the same time, dragging the game into overtime with a score of 17:8.

Then he scored 15 points alone in overtime, dragging the game into the second overtime. In the end, he was exhausted and lost by five points.

The game was breathtaking, but Philly wasn't happy.

If possible, they would still like to see the team abuse the game, rather than playing so hard.

Of course, for true basketball fans, such an ups and downs game is exciting. Gao Shen's game show is a real show, but it is not competitive.

After the game, the reporters did not go to the press conference, but surrounded Gao Shen and asked him about his next plan.

Although there are many basketball fans, they are less than two or three out of ten believers. If God farts in the photo, it will definitely cause bursts of "really fragrant".

Gao Shen had nothing to hide about this.

"This year, I plan to climb several snow-capped mountains and rocks. Next year, I will still focus on the Olympics."

"Climbing snow-capped mountains now?" A reporter asked.

"Yeah, this month or next month, I know it's not a good time, but of course pushing the limits doesn't make it difficult.

No protection, no assistance, just bare hands! Gao Shen replied with a smile.

Life and death are bearish, if you don't agree, just do it.

In fact, he himself asked the system what would happen if he climbed a snow-capped mountain in winter.

It was originally a joke on a whim, but I didn't expect the system to take it seriously.

Rewards are doubled.

Double every time you complete an item!
This...he acted upon his heart's desire, and Gao Shen decided to commit suicide.

What if he really died?Then it's really dead.

Then the reporters fell silent.

Most of the reporters at the scene didn't quite understand the meaning of this.

"What made you make such a death-defying decision?" a knowledgeable reporter asked.

Gao Shen looked up at the sky at 45 degrees for a long time, and said leisurely: "Probably, it is to pursue the meaning of life, or it may be to truly live."

This reason is very good and powerful, so please hurry up and die!Many reporters complained secretly.

"So, which mountain are you going to conquer?" a reporter asked.

"I plan to climb El Capitan unaided first, and then climb the main peak of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Fanzi Peak." Gao Shen replied.

Silence again.

Those who know how to do it are shocked and speechless, those who don't understand don't know the power of it, and don't know what to ask.

Soon, there was a burst of popular science among the reporters.

El Capitan is the largest single granite rock in the world, formed about [-] million years ago.

The boulder is 914 meters high, the top is 2307 meters above sea level, and the slope is close to vertical. It is a holy place for rock climbers. Since 1905, more than 70 people have unfortunately died while climbing El Capitan.

Note that the climbers who died here were all assisted and protected. None of them climbed with bare hands without assistance, because this is suicide and not a challenge.

In fact, the feat wasn't accomplished until 2017 by rock climber Alex Honnold.

But before Honnold climbed, he climbed with a safety rope, inspected the rock surface and planned the route, and cleared the route of broken or loose stones.

The task requirement is not to survey in advance.

That is to say, you must be particularly careful when climbing. If the stone you hold on to is loose, you will be a piece of meat if you miss it.

The most important thing is that it was June when Honnold climbed. As long as he rubbed the magnesium powder, he could basically prevent slipping. In winter, when ice and snow gather, even the magnesium powder is useless.

Needless to say, the consequences of slipping are just a piece of meat pie.

As for the main peak of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Fan Steep Peak, 5596 meters above sea level is not very high, but it is about 13 kilometers wide from east to west and about 35 kilometers long from north to south.

The biggest problem is still ice and snow, especially since ancient times there have been glaciers.

No one knows if there is a bottomless ice hole under the quiet ice and snow.

A group of people pull the rope and walk, even if the explorer falls, he will be rescued. If one of them goes up, if he really falls... Thousands of years later, when human technology is infinitely developed, it may be thawed and revived.

Another problem is climate.

From the viewing point of view, Fanzi Peak is not only majestic and majestic, but also beautiful and colorful as the seasons change and the weather changes.

Sometimes it is wrapped in clouds and mist, and the snow-capped mountains suddenly appear and disappear, like a beautiful woman holding a pipa half-hidden; sometimes the top of the mountain is covered with clouds, which seems mysterious; The blue sky is thousands of miles away, and the peaks are like washing, shining with crystal silver light.

These beautiful scenery are of course great from a distance, but when you walk inside you will experience rain, fog, snow, and maybe a cyclone.

In the summer, the climate may be less variable, and in the winter it's really unpredictable.

Mature mountaineering teams choose to challenge in summer and will never go up in winter.

Basically, climbing snow-capped mountains in winter is courting death.

When everyone knew this and wanted to ask questions again, they found that Gao Shen had left.
