Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

"No, we need to get out of here as soon as possible!" Black Jerry clearly made up his mind, the dark fear gradually overcame his reason, and the dying guy on the ground made him worry about staying here, so he stood up and was ready at any time run away.

And Tom obviously wants to try again, because the people lying on the floor are among his few friends. Tom, a white man, has not had an easy time in Harlem. After all, this is an African-American territory, and it is normal to be bullied , so he unexpectedly likes to communicate with this taciturn guy. After all, they all know that his IQ is not high, so he can speak his mind without worrying about being known by others.

Moreover, this time he was pulled onto the boat by him, so he left, and Tom still couldn't bear it. After all, he was only a 10-year-old boy, and he had not been beaten by the society, so he still had some loyalty in his heart.

As if seeing Tom's thoughts, Jerry gritted his teeth, and seriously, if he could bring Zuo Li, he wouldn't give up easily, he was his own, but he knew that if he and Tom were two and a half If the eldest son walked back to the orphanage more than a dozen blocks away with such a big man, he would most likely be targeted, especially at night.

According to statistics, there are more than 200 murder cases in Harlem every year on average, and other kinds of fighting are emerging one after another. Although Jerry does not know such statistics, he is after all the largest and the earliest among the three. Those who leave the orphanage, after all, according to the regulations of the United States, they must move out of the orphanage to survive by themselves when they are 16 years old. Mr. Derek also intentionally let these children who are close in age go out earlier.

Although he was reluctant to give up, that's all Mr. Derek can do. After all, the orphanage doesn't belong to him. Even if he knows that most of these people will go down the wrong road when they go out, he can't change all of this. This is the society here. The law of survival, the only thing that can be done is to adapt to this society in advance.

Hearing this, Jerry naturally knew the danger here. As for going to the hospital, there is one nearby, but the hospital doesn't take care of the poor. They have less than $20 on them now, and it is estimated that they can't even enter the hospital gate.

But Tom's appearance still moved Jerry, and Jerry squatted down; "For the last time, if it doesn't work, we have to go!"

"Yes!" Tom nodded, then slapped the big man hard, and pressed his chest a few times with the help of his few memories.

And Jerry roared loudly: "Wake up! Silly big man, do it! It's too late for dinner!"

And this one, the sonic attack and the physical blow seemed to have finally played a role. The big man lying on the ground slowly shrank his left and right fingers, his eyes struggled for a long time, and slowly began to open.

At this time, in the brain of this big man whose name is not remembered, a soul from 20 years later is slowly merging with this body...

…

The camera goes back to 2017, which is 20 years after this timeline. The location is also in New York, but it is completely different from the Harlem area that has been introduced for a lot of space before, because this is the lower part of Manhattan, New York!

When it comes to New York, the downtown area is an inescapable area. Although many people think of New York, they must be thinking of the Upper East Side full of luxury and OldMoney flavor. In many American dramas like "Gossip Girl" and "Desire" City, etc., all advertise living on the Upper East Side as a true symbol of identity, status and wealth.

However, in 2017, the most expensive housing prices in the entire Manhattan are actually in the lower part of the city, where there are the World Financial Center Wall Street, the World Trade Center, Soho, the most fashionable shopping district in New York, and many art museums, such as the Whitney Museum, New Contemporary The Art Museum, the New York Chinese Museum, etc., in addition, New York Chinatown is also located in lower Manhattan.

The location is exactly in Chinatown. In 2017, the winter in New York was as usual with snowflakes. Tonight was different from usual. The snow came very densely. After more than ten minutes, a thin layer had already accumulated on the ground.

In the center of Chinatown, a Chinese-owned restaurant named Lin's Quick Stir-fry was not affected by the wind and snow. Pedestrians came and went in a hurry. It can be seen from the frequency with which people at the table unconsciously speed up waving chopsticks, there is nothing more comfortable than returning to a warm nest after a full meal.

At this time, it was the evening, and it was the peak period of dining. The bearded and bald boss in the restaurant was waving a large frying spoon in the spring and autumn beside the stove. A plate of dry fried rice noodles was quickly formed under the frying spoon. For those who seek to survive, the taste of hometown can be regarded as the greatest solace in life.

The proprietress, who was running back and forth to greet the guests, also met the guests again. An ordinary-looking person with a height of less than 165 cm walked slowly into the door, but from the deep and shallow footprints on the snow, it could be seen that his legs As if he had suffered some kind of trauma, he simply said hello to the proprietress, and the person found a vacant seat and then waved at the bald boss; "Boss Lin, a plate of dumplings! A bottle of Laobaigan!"

"Okay~! Come on!" It was obvious that the boss and the person who came were very familiar, he smiled and nodded, and then skillfully put down the dumplings.

Shao Qing, the dumplings were cooked, and it just so happened that there were no new guests at this time. Boss Lin finally had time to leave from the stove. He picked up the handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He personally brought the dumplings to the people, and then Lao Baigan put it in the middle, and while taking out two glasses, he skillfully filled them up, one cup per person: "I'm in good spirits tonight, is there something good, but you haven't come to drink with me in a few days."

"Well, there's something good, I was busy a while ago, and now I'm done." The person who came took a sip of the wine glass, his tone was as calm and brief as usual, but the change in his mood could be seen from the unconscious smile at the corner of his mouth.

Boss Lin didn't care either, as if he knew that the person in front of him had such a personality, he grinned, picked up the cup and slammed it again, regardless of who came, he drank it to himself: "Ha~hu~ It's cool! I didn't say that this liquor is still so energetic!"

"Drinking like this, it's easy to get drunk." The visitor was still calm, as if nothing could cause waves in his heart.

"Hey, yes, but I don't think it's good to get drunk sometimes. Life is all about being comfortable!" Boss Lin slammed his mouth, as if he was aftertastes the taste of liquor, and then put down the glass Said to the visitor with emotion.

"The boss is here for some fried rice, spicy and spicy!"

"coming!"

Coincidentally, when a new guest entered the door, Boss Lin didn't say more, put down the glass, patted the person on the shoulder, and returned to the stove.

The conversation came to an abrupt end, and the visitor's mouth trembled slightly, but in the end he was unable to speak, so he simply stopped talking, and took a sip like Boss Lin.

"Cough, cough, cough~!!" The spicy liquor shot straight down his throat, causing the visitor to cough violently, which was exchanged for the attention of other customers in the store and the ridicule of Boss Lin.

"Hahahaha, brother, I haven't seen you for a while, the alcohol intake is so bad, let's change beer next time!"

The visitor didn't care, he wiped his mouth calmly, and then ate a dumpling, and people's attention did not stay on him, because at this time, the TV hanging in the air was turned on by the customer, and the inside happened to be Is the familiar TV station - ESPN.

The broadcast is also a familiar program, the NBA regular season, the New York Knicks host the rival Brooklyn Nets.

It's just that except for a die-hard fan, the others in the store lacked interest in this game, because the so-called New York City Derby at this time was just a rookie pecking at each other. , after all, they are just outsiders. They have a general sense of belonging here, and naturally they can't have the big hearts of the Knicks diehard fans.

However, as far as the Knicks' record and history are concerned, fans with bad hearts have long been sent away.

The visitor didn't pay attention, but his eyes became hazy, as if he was recalling something. At this time, the conversation between the two guests reached the ears of the visitor.

"Hey, tell me, what are you playing here? One dish, one more dish, it's been rotten for so many years, but it's still the same, the NBA is getting worse every year, there's no suspense, this year, the Warriors are still playing the Cavaliers. , It's been four years, and I can see the cocoon in my eyes."

"Then what can be done? In the era of big group, star group is king. Look, it will be like this in the future. The previous NBA will never come back."

"Yes, but why no one likes to come to the Knicks to hold a group, this is New York, such a big city, baseball and football are so strong, but basketball is so hip, it's really amazing."

"Tsk~! Who said it wasn't, the Knicks team, whoever watched it, didn't say anything. The basketball team in the world's largest city turned out to be like this. It's outrageous."

It can be heard that the two still like basketball and the Knicks very much. After all, they live in New York. Loving the house and Wu is the consensus of many people, and then the chat content was skewed to domestic players.

"If I keep playing like this, my buddies will not hesitate to watch it in the future. It's boring. Besides, there are no Chinese players. That week, Zhou, etc., it's really not good. It's been a few years, and after Dayao's retirement, no one can stand up."

"Hey, you say, when will there be a player like Dayao..."

"Hey... let's not talk about it, let's have a bar."

…

It came to an abrupt end again. The snow outside seemed to be heavier, and the restaurant was quiet again. Only the sound of cooking rice and the broadcast on the TV could be heard.

No one knew that the inconspicuous short lame man sitting in this restaurant would be the closest man to the NBA in China.

Zuo Li, a former Super 160 fighter, has always been injured in basketball.

That's right, the one sitting here is also called Zuo Li, the left and right, and the standing standing is his self-introduction. Once upon a time, this sentence was the favorite word of domestic fans, and even formed a unique support in many stadiums. slogan.

All this seems unbelievable, but as long as you know Zuo Li, you will be moved by his legendary career.

Everything had to start in 1998. His parents were just ordinary working-class people in GD. He died in an accident. At the age of 9, Zuo Li was sent to the local sports school, because he had already shown special performance at a young age. Talent, that is speed!

Zuo Li can run very fast. At the age of 9, he can even run on a par with a 14-year-old senior. This made the coach of the local sports school unbearable for him to waste his talent, so he received special training from the sports school.

Zuo Li, who has excellent speed and outstanding bounce, was valued by the coach of the basketball team after entering the sports school for a year, and Zuo Li finally came into contact with basketball, a sport that changed the fate of his entire life. After all, this is GD. Province, although the CBA at this time is still dominated by Bayi, the youth training system that GD has carried out for so many years is gradually exerting its power.

The story after that is very similar to the stories of many famous basketball players who became famous in the early days. Zuo Li, at a young age, lived the life of a professional sports student. Every day was filled with training, and the sadness of his parents' passing was gradually replaced by time and day after day. Days of hard training have been diluted, so he gradually changed from liking basketball to love, and then to being addicted. He is also the only one who will take the initiative to train himself every day until he can't practice. He even still has a certain period of time. Sleeping with a basketball in his arms.

And the training results are also very gratifying. At the age of 12, his height grew to 160. As the team's defender, he was selected for the GD youth team, represented the team in the national youth competition, and finally won the third place with the team. his first honor.

If everything goes well, Zuo Li will have the opportunity to enter the profession and get on the professional stage, but things don't go according to his wishes, and Zuo Li soon encounters the biggest trouble in his life, that is, he doesn't grow up anymore!

14-year-old boys should generally reach the age of further development, but Zuo Li is still 160, not much, not a lot, which can worry the coach, everyone understands what it means to play basketball without being tall, It's simply the end of the world.

At the age of 16, although Zuo Li had become the player with the best skills, the highest hit rate and the fastest speed in the youth team at that time, his height was still an 'amazing' 160 cm.

This basically means that Zuo Li will become a victim of an immature training system, and he has almost no hope of entering the professional arena.

After all, in basketball, body is king, and height is the most basic condition. If you are 200 cm, the coach will let you try to play the 3rd position. If you are 190 cm, the coach will tell you that there is nothing wrong with the defender. If you are 180 cm, UU reading www.uukanshu.com The coach will tell you that diligence can make up for your weakness, and you can also use your strengths. If you are 170 cm, the coach will ask you to find a class earlier.

If you are 160 cm...

Seriously, the coach really disdains you.

So the coach had a serious talk with Zuo Li. After all, there was no timely bone age test. It was their negligence. The scientific nature of Chinese basketball training at the turn of the century was really general. Zuo Li is not an exception, just because Zuo Li’s The stature seems a little special.

This also makes Zuo Li's enlightenment coach and the coach of the third team of the GD men's basketball team, Zhang Kun, very guilty of Zuo Li. After all, Zuo Li's talent can still be based on other projects. At the age of 16, he can run 100 meters in 11 seconds. The track and field team wants it very much, not to mention Zuoli's vertical 70 cm jumping ability.

However, now, everything is over. The 16-year-old Zuo Li has lost the best time to change projects. What's more, at this height, any project changes will be restricted.

It's just that Zuo Li didn't want to give up basketball.

"Coach, I won't give up. Without my height, I can still stand in the professional arena. Doesn't NBAS have 160 fighters? If he can, then I can do it too!"

Zuo Li's eloquent answer made Zhang Kun give up his persuasion. On the contrary, he felt that Zuo Li's words made some sense. After all, Zuo Li's talent and IQ are really the best he has ever seen. Maybe a miracle will happen. .

So Zuo Li continued to stay in the team. Under Zhang Kun's intentional training, he actually went all the way from the GD youth team to the third team and the second team. Finally, in 2009, when Zuo Li was 20 years old, he was successfully recruited. The head coach of a team valued it and was promoted to the GD men's basketball team.

A 160 legendary warrior officially landed in CBA!
