Basketball Myth: Super Guard

This is an outdoor court. It looks very ordinary and not big. There is only one court. There are several rows of seats next to it. Together with the court, it is surrounded by iron fences. A little further out there are lush trees. Circled around, leaving only one exit.

In the reinforced concrete city, there is such a stadium surrounded by trees, but it has a different feeling.

It's just that you can see a green sign before entering the stadium, just like the kind of warning signs often seen on the streets of the United States. There are many slogans written on it, reminding you not to underestimate this inconspicuous stadium, come here Just be respectful here.

Because, it's called Rock Park!

"This is where you want to bring me?" Qin Hao looked at the stadium in front of him, his eyes lit up. He had heard of it before, but he had never been there.

"Hey, this is a good place." Butler laughed: "It's still early, let's go buy something to eat first, and it will be lively in the evening."

Qin Hao nodded with some anticipation in his heart.

New York's Rock Park basketball court, located next to 155th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard in New York, is a legendary place and is very famous in the American basketball world, known as the "Street Ball Holy Land".

In 1950, Mr. Locke established a basketball tour for poor children to stay on the street to practice ball and have a good chance to play in college later, and Locke Park was the first stop of this tour.

Since then, more and more people have come to Rock Park to play, and even some celebrities, such as "The Destroyer" Hammond, "Goat" Manigat and other street basketball hallmarks have played in Rock Park. There are also many NBA stars, such as Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Shaq O'Neal, Vince Carter, Stephen Marbury, etc. have also come to Rock Park to play.

Over time, Rock Park has become a legendary place. It is always lively here at night, and many masters gather here to dedicate a basketball feast to people.

This is a street court, you don't need to buy tickets, but people who come here are not to save money, some wealthy entrepreneurs, movie stars, etc. will also come here.

Some people even think it's more interesting to watch an NBA game here than at Madison Square Garden (home of the New York Knicks).

If there was a choice between the two, they would rather come to Locke Park.

Qin Hao and Butler bought something to eat casually, and when night fell, they saw more and more people coming to Locke Park.

At night, the Rock Park stadium was brightly lit, full of voices, and very lively. Many people gathered outside the small stadium, with three floors inside and three floors, and the hot atmosphere was exciting.

Some people were on the court and seemed to be warming up. Some people rushed to the basket with the ball in their hands. The flying body was a dunk with both hands, and the audience immediately burst into cheers.

Some fans rushed to the court, surrounded the dunker, people surrounded him, and everyone seemed to be smiling happily.

"This atmosphere, tsk tsk..." Qin Hao clicked his tongue when he saw it.

After coming to the United States, Qin Hao felt that the basketball atmosphere here is better, especially the game atmosphere. The fans are very enthusiastic, even in high school games, the atmosphere is very warm.

But compared to here, it is still a lot worse.

There are teenagers, eight or nine-year-old children, office workers in suits and glasses, and middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s... At this moment, their faces are full of excitement, with Laughing, forgetting the troubles in life, the pressure of work, only pure happiness is left.

Seeing the appearance of these people, Qin Hao finally understands why Locke Park has become a mecca for streetball, attracting so many players and fans.

Because as long as you love basketball, you can get happiness here.

"Does it feel good?" Butler smiled and said, "I've heard of this place for a long time, and I haven't had a chance to come. Why don't we go up and play later?"

Qin Hao pointed to the green warning sign at the gate of the stadium behind him, shook his head and said, "Look at it first."

Butler also glanced at the warning sign, nodded and said nothing.

This is New York and Locke Park, but it is not a place where you can act recklessly, let alone them, even if the NBA stars come, they will not dare to be arrogant here.

"Everyone, everyone."

Suddenly, a white man with a big belly and a beard shouted loudly, "Everyone, be quiet."

At the same time, the electronic scoreboard on the court, as well as the 24-second timer on the basket, both lit up and glowed red, which surprised Qin Hao again.

It didn't light up before, and Qin Hao didn't notice that such a field had an electronic scoreboard and a 24-second timer.

From this, you can see the special here.

When people quieted down, they heard the potbellied host say: "Today, as usual, there will be a wonderful game. However, there will be some differences from the previous rules. In the past, we would invite some players to come here to play. There are some strong teams coming. But today we are going to do something different, we will randomly select ten players from the people in the field and divide them into two groups to play."

Hearing this, people suddenly became noisy.

"Yes, you heard right, just pick from you." The host continued: "Whether you are a streetball player or a professional player, or a programmer or a plumber, as long as you feel that you are strong enough, you can You can sign up and have a chance to play.”

This gameplay makes Qin Hao feel very interesting.

Random selection, random team formation, there is a lot of uncertainty, but also brings enough suspense and expectations.

It's just that Qin Hao had a question, so he grabbed Butler and said in doubt: "This random selection, random team formation, I'm afraid there is no way to guarantee the strength of the players? In this way, the gap between the strength of the players may be relatively large, and the game will not be played. Nothing to see?"

"Haha." Butler smiled and said, "Qin, you still don't understand Rock Park. Playing here does require strength, but not entirely. More importantly, it is atmosphere and happiness. For example, some NBA players come to play, what do you think? Wouldn't there be a big gap between the players in the team?"

"For example, Kobe is here, no matter how you form a team, no one can compare to Kobe, and there will be a big gap between others and him."

"This is a street court, it's Locke Park. The games here are different from regular games. They don't need to be so rigorous, as long as they are interesting."
