Chapter 53 Basketball and You
After the Gators got off the plane at Salt Lake City International Airport the next morning, they were in no rush to get to their reserved hotels.

"The game will be held at night, let's go shopping today." DeWeese said loudly to his teammates, looking at the beautiful weather unique to the plateau in Salt Lake City.

"Okay~~"

"Hooray~~"

Although they are all tall NCAA athletes, they are still a group of children in their 20s after all, and the teammates agreed to go shopping first.

And Salt Lake City, the most famous, of course, is the Great Salt Lake.

The Great Salt Lake is very close to the airport, and we arrived at our destination not long after getting on the bus.

Everyone got out of the car and looked at the blue sky and white clouds above their heads, the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the lake and shoals under their feet, and cheered in surprise.

"Max, can you swim?" Davis sat directly on the ground in the shoal by the lake, looked at the endless lake in front of him, and suddenly asked the main center next to him, Max.

Max shook his head, "No, I haven't studied it. I've been playing since junior high school. I don't have time to learn it, and I don't have much interest."

"The Great Salt Lake is the area with the highest salt content in the world except the Dead Sea, with a salt content as high as 25%. Even if you can't swim, you won't sink if you jump into it." Davis said to Max with great interest.

"Is that so? Then I have to try it." Baker, who had just walked to Davis, heard it, and immediately prepared to swim around excitedly.

The rammed goods began to take off their pants by the lake. .

With black lines all over his head, Davis hurriedly stopped him.

"Anna is still watching, and even if you go swimming, you have to take a shower immediately after you come up, or you can go back wrapped in a layer of salt, I guess you will become a salted Baker by the time you get back to the hotel."

When Baker heard this, he obediently stopped.

Davis just looked at the lake quietly. After a while, he changed his posture and lay on the ground with his back facing the sky. Looking at the blue sky and the white clouds floating in the sky, he was in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, Davis suddenly sighed.

"What are you thinking about?" A pleasant voice suddenly came from Davis.

Davis didn't turn his head, he was too familiar with Anna's voice.

"Anna, do you think it's worth giving up other things in order to pursue your dreams?"

"Mike, I think if you really like something and regard it as your dream to pursue, you wouldn't ask this question." Anna thought for a while before answering.

Davis, no, it should be Wang Hao, closed his eyes, and began to question his own heart.

"Do I really like basketball, or do I just want to fulfill my obsession in my previous life? Or, because I have played basketball in my previous life and know nothing else, I start with basketball in this life and want to leave something of myself in this world?"

In a half-dream and half-awake state, Davis suddenly remembered his previous life, when he was playing basketball on a rough concrete floor when he was young.

He tried hard to control the orange elf, but the elf seemed to be disobedient and always jumped out of his hands. He threw the ball clumsily, but he couldn't reach the basket because of too little strength.

Later, when I grew up, I practiced dribbling again and again on that concrete court, learned a new movement, and could be happy all day long.

Later, I started to emerge. In the school team, I was always the best one, and the female students on the sidelines would always cheer for my handsome goals.

After entering the national team, he looked at the bright red jersey and the dazzling five-pointed star in front of him, and vowed to win glory for the country and be worthy of the jersey he was wearing. . . .

The scenes of the previous life flowed in front of his eyes like a film.

He thought about the bits and pieces after time travel, but found that he was a little out of touch.

Thinking that I am the pride of heaven, and I have a system, I feel that the road ahead has already been paved. As long as I walk forward step by step, I will become the person standing at the top of the world's basketball pyramid.He will also train hard, even more than NBA players. He will also participate in the NCAA, but at the beginning he only used the NCAA as a springboard for himself to set foot on the NBA.

"Have you forgotten the feeling back then?" Davis murmured. "That kind of happiness that basketball brings to me?"

"Yeah, playing basketball is a joyful thing, why make her a burden?"

Davis looked at Anna who had been with him all the time, and suddenly laughed.

Anna didn't know why DeWeese was smiling, but when he saw him laughing, Anna laughed too.

"It's great to have you and basketball in this world."

After a while, Davis sat up from the ground.

He saw a simple basketball court in the parking lot in the distance, and shouted to his teammates who were free to move around: "Brothers, how about we play a game next to this beautiful big lake?"

The teammates looked at Davis in surprise, but Baker reacted the fastest.

"Come on! Mike, I've wanted to educate you for a long time!"

"I'm coming too! Let you try my tomahawk dunk!"

"How could I be missing my Buddha magician?"

"Hey hey, you guys can't play without me."

A group of people laughed and ran towards the distant stadium.

No matter what tactics, no matter what running positions, no matter what teamwork, return to the original heart, and play the simplest basketball game!
"Hahaha, Baker, why did you get knocked down by me again?" DeWeese looked at Baker who was lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment, and taunted him loudly.He didn't shoot directly, but signaled Baker to stand up and continue to defend.

"It was just an accident! This court is too slippery!" Baker stood up without admitting defeat, and continued to defend against Davis.

"Huh? Where's the ball?"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" the field was full of laughter. After taking off and dunking in place, Max picked up the ball and signaled to Baker.

"Here's the ball, Baker!"

However, laughing and laughing, this easy game was fought, and everyone had a feeling.

Davis, seems to be getting stronger again.

He used to be purely breakthrough sharp three-pointers and accurate, but today, he seems to have integrated these two skills, making it hard to guard against.

He can suddenly cast cold arrows when you are not paying attention, or rely on skillful dribbling and quick breakthroughs to leave you far behind when you post them.

When playing against him, you have no idea what he's going to do next.

But, who cares, he is his teammate anyway, now, as long as he is happy, is it enough?
All the people, with smiles on the corners of their mouths, looked at the figure who let himself go on the court.

"It's really great to be a teammate with him (to know him)~~~"

　This chapter is written very easily, and I also recalled the happiness when I played basketball. Isn’t that what we usually pursue when we play basketball?It's a pity, the game skills are really bad, I covered my face and ran away in tears
