give me a star card

Chapter 14 Zhang Fan
Why do we play basketball?
When Kobe Bryant retired, he wrote:

I'm in love with you

love so thoroughly
I take me from mind to body

from spirit to soul
all for you

This is a passage from Kobe Bryant's "Dear Basketball".Whenever you read these sentences, your soul will be deeply shocked.Because this is clearly a little love poem!Vanessa expressed that she was very sad and had never expressed her love for her in public...

Basketball is indeed a very attractive thing!That chubby guy, with a few simple rules, can create so much fun and wonder!

Every game—whether it's an NBA-level event or a regular matchup on campus—has countless possibilities.

We love basketball, it's something that gets our blood pumping.Even after many years, we become a "greasy" uncle, wearing a neat suit and a delicate tie, it is difficult to exercise once a week, and we will be out of breath after a few steps...

But one afternoon, we passed a basketball court and watched those young and fresh lives running hard on the court.Still feel emotional, tears welling up.

……

Ling Hai was exposed to basketball at a very young age.At that time, there were very few recreational things in the orphanage.There are no Transformers, no four-wheel drive vehicles, and after watching "Young Fire King", there is no condition to buy a yo-yo to experience it.

But there is a basketball court in the orphanage, and many people will gather there to play team or shoot.Ling Hai imitated their postures clumsily and over and over again.

His game skills have improved rapidly, from a soy sauce role at the beginning to a big brother on the field.At that time, Ling Hai's hair was still very long, and when he made a winning shot, he would unknowingly flick his bangs, looking so naughty and cool, and the girls in the surrounding neighborhoods were fascinated by him. Whether it is necessary or not.

Until one day when Ling Hai was playing with a group of teenagers who "buried his love family", he habitually flicked his bangs a few times.The result was beaten badly!
The leading boy with bangs covering half of his face said viciously: "This is the first time I see someone throwing bangs more often than we bury our beloved family."

……

On a weekend, the sun was shining and the clear sky seemed to have just undergone a big cleaning.

The members of the provincial reserve team arrived as scheduled.Well... actually, they were a full two hours early.

Liu Bing was just setting up the welcome ceremony at this time!When I saw all the senior brothers coming, I was a little confused!

"Brother, why didn't you say hello when you came early! Look, we are not ready..." Liu Bing looked guilty.

The leader of the provincial reserve team is called Zhang Fan.He waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we came earlier to visit your Beihe University!"

"Yes, yes! Those of us who entered the professional circle early, did not have the opportunity to go to college, and are very yearning for college life!" A buddy next to him echoed.

"That's it!" Liu Bing nodded, expressing his understanding.

Although these brothers seem to be quite beautiful on the surface, they still have a desire to learn in their hearts.

"Brothers, if you don't mind, let me be your guide?" Liu Bing volunteered.

"Hmm..." Zhang Fan patted Liu Bing on the shoulder, "I'm sorry, junior brother. The first stop, let's go directly to the girls' dormitory!"

Liu Bing was dumbfounded immediately.This is the first time I heard that I went to the girls' dormitory directly after visiting the university campus.

Brothers, can your intentions be more obvious?

Next, Liu Bing fully saw the naked "bad intentions" of these people.This is the first time I saw a group of people visit the university campus, and I just sat in the pavilion downstairs of the female dormitory for an hour...

If Ling Hai hadn't come to drag them to the competition, these guys would have planned to play on the floor here.

Liu Bing suddenly felt that something was wrong. He respected these seniors at first, but he gave up his studies for his basketball dream.

The result hehe...

This game can be said to be a warm-up match arranged by Dad for his players.

Winning or losing is not important... what is important is to allow these players to adapt to confrontational games in the fastest time.

The old man said to the brothers in the reserve team: "Beat them hard, don't give me face. If you win against me and other players, I will cover the cost of your massage at night."

Dad was always so practical.Silently offer some temptations that everyone can't refuse.

Zhang Fan naturally knew that Beihe's juniors were not easy to deal with.But the group of them, immersed in the basketball court since childhood, is definitely not comparable to these college students in terms of tactical execution and adjustment ability.

Therefore, they were quite confident in defeating Beihe.

When they thought of going to Massage Health Care in the evening, they felt that their trip was worthwhile.

Game start!
Zhang Fan is the captain and point guard of the provincial reserve team and is the core figure of this team.He can organize and has good offensive skills.

The only downside is: not high enough.

Play professional, 1.85 meters tall.If there is no dramatic improvement in technology, then the upper limit of his life will be like this.

This is the frustration of some basketball players for a lifetime.

Just like Thomas Jr., even relying on Stevens' system to average 29 points + 6 assists per game, he became the top five MVPs that year, and was called "the strongest 1.75 on the surface".

But what about the ending!Asked for a maximum salary to no avail.In the offseason, he was directly traded by Angie for Irving.

Irving's talent, physical fitness, height, etc... are the template for a perfect point guard!
Maybe you will hear a lot of people say, "Physical talent is not the most important thing."

But look at the top ten great gods in history-Jordan, Russell, magician and other figures, which one is not the pride of heaven!

……

Zhang Fan has weaknesses, and in order to make up for his weaknesses, he exploits his strengths to the fullest.

His ghostly pass even the old man is amazed.The old man once said with a sigh: "As long as you give him another 7 centimeters, it will definitely not be a problem to enter the provincial team."

In order to restrict Zhang Fan, the old man directly sent Ling Hai to defend in a misplaced position.After all, Ling Hai had the best single defense ability in Beihe's backcourt.

Zhang Fan and Ling Hai had met a few times before, but they were not considered close friends.

I just remember that when we met for the first time, Ling Hai's extraordinary way of talking left a deep impression on him.

At that time, Zhang Fan could only name a dozen or so female celebrities in the island country.As for Ling Hai, he almost mentioned all the actresses of the previous era.This is probably the so-called cultural heritage!
