The Fifth Point Guard

On November 25, 2002, there is still a month before the traditional festivals of Christmas Eve and Christmas in North America.

On a whim, the marketing operation department of Adidas planned a series of advertisements called "Uncle Drew" pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

The idea of ​​this advertisement is to make up the Adi Five Tigers into five old people, and then go to the street court to compete in the street court without everyone knowing who they are in advance. The purpose of deepening the public's impression of the advertisement and enhancing the influence of the Adidas brand.

On this day, they called the newly assembled Five Tigers to the North American headquarters in New York, held a meeting with everyone, and explained the creativity and purpose of this series of advertisements at the meeting.

Shen Tong got the script, and felt a little strange in his heart.

Originally, the ad called "Uncle Drew" should have been put on the screen by Pepsi in 2012, but this ad was 10 years ahead of schedule and was first proposed by Adidas.

The difference between parallel worlds is fully reflected.

Just do it.

It is very difficult to get the five Adi Tigers together at the same time, so after a brief meeting, everyone immediately devoted themselves to the preparation of the commercial shooting.

"Grandpa, answer the phone."

"Drip." Shen Tong connected the phone.

"Shen, where have you slipped off? Aren't you planning to leave for Philadelphia today?" Richard Jefferson's voice came from the receiver.

"I'm putting on makeup, right now"

"Fuck, Shen, when did you become so obsessed? Are you worthy of Avril? You claim to be immortal. I love a piece of firewood. How can I accept it?"

Shentong's phone number is public.

Sensing the strange atmosphere in the whole dressing room, Shen Tong quickly interrupted Jefferson's words. If this nonsense continues, maybe this idiot will pull out some explosive news.

"I'm shooting a commercial right now! I'm in New York now, and I've already asked for leave with Byron and Brett."

After finishing speaking, he directly pressed the phone and said to the beautiful makeup artist: "Sorry, you continue."

Rock Park is a world famous basketball court.

Located at 155th Street and Frederick Douglass Avenue in Harlem near Manhattan, New York.

Many players who played at Rock Park became household names for their superb skills, many of whom went on to enter the NBA.

It is a place that makes New Yorkers proud.

Rock Park is famous not just because of the high level of basketball here, but because of a guy named Rock.

In order to help poor children stay in the street to practice and enter university, the man known as Mr. Locke called together a group of highly skilled friends and founded a basketball tour in 1950, and Locke Park is the tour The first stop of the station.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

People are coming to the field field of Locke Park one after another.

In the cold winter, playing at noon is more popular, and there is never a shortage of fans watching games and fans of certain players.

Today is a little different from the past.

Several gray-haired old men hobbled into Rock Park, and sat side by side obediently on the high and low benches prepared for the fans watching the game.

Although they were very old, they were in good shape, and five of them filled a not-so-big double-decker bench.

On the court, 7 people have been assembled, and there is only 1 person left to play 4v4.

These guys warmed up by shooting for a while on the court, but today, 10 minutes passed, and the eighth player didn't show up.

Finally, a tall player couldn't bear it anymore. He walked to the side of the auditorium and shouted to the people waiting here: "Someone is willing to come up and play together for a while. We just need one right now."

The big man named Mike yelled once at several benches, but bypassed the seats where the five old men were sitting.

Even when he saw these old people, Mike had a surprised expression on his face.

At this age, if you don't watch soap operas at home, or bask in the sun in the yard, why do you come here to join in the fun.

After turning around, no one volunteered to play. Mike couldn't help saying something strange: "What's the matter, today is really strange."

"I come."

Finally someone is willing to play!

Mike looked back excitedly, hey, it turned out to be one of the five old people just now.

"Hey, I said uncle, can you really do it? We are here in Rock Park, not a sports meeting for seniors."

After Mike finished speaking with a slight sarcasm, the audience immediately burst into laughter.

"Hey" a slightly hoarse voice sounded, "Don't underestimate my old bones, even now, I can beat you guys at any time."

The old man's words made the players present laugh endlessly.

"Then let him try it." Someone suggested.

"No." Mike immediately shook his head and said, "Absolutely not, I wouldn't play with such a person, it would be fine if he was injured or something, look at his age, I feel that he may fall down at any time On the court."

"I'm fine, I'm strong, ahem, I can take responsibility for my actions."

"Just let him try, Mike, you see, there's no one else to be found now, and when someone comes, we'll replace him."

Mike looked at the old man, looked around again, and finally nodded helplessly: "Okay, but let's fight for a while."

After speaking, Mike said to the other players: "Be careful when you play for a while, don't hurt them."

"Don't worry about yourselves." The old man replied very stubbornly.

Mike and the other players looked at each other and smiled.

In their eyes, this is just a stubborn old man with a hard mouth.

Soon, the teams were divided.

Among a group of strong and young muscular men, stood an old man with white hair very abruptly.

This strange collocation attracted many people around to watch the battle.

"Hey old man, what's your name?"

"Just call me Drew."

"Okay, Drew, you just need to serve here at the top of the ring, and we'll do the rest."

"OK."

The game between the two sides begins.

The player named Mike plays the center forward position on the opposite side. He is 2.10 meters tall and has a strong body. He is a type with few opponents on the field.

As Drew's opponent, Mike quickly scored again and again to help the team lead Drew 3-0.

"Mike, today's form is quite good." Someone from the Drew team praised.

"Where, in fact, today's state is average. I think it is mainly a problem with the composition of your team. Otherwise, if we give you one of ours, 3 vs. 5 is probably the same."

As soon as Mike finished speaking, Drew, who had been standing on the top of the circle and taking on the heavy responsibility of serving, spoke.

"Give me the ball."
