The China Power of NBA

"Black Whistle! Fucking Black Whistle!"

Scolding and booing were heard endlessly, but the referee still insisted on the original penalty and signaled the start of the game.

Next, as soon as Zhaoqiang received the ball, boos and drums rang out all over the stadium, and some fans on the side of the court stood up, pointing at Zhaoqiang's nose and cursing!And the scolding is very ugly!After a few rounds, Zhao Qiang was provoked into impetuousness!

During a dead ball gap, Zhao Qiang walked slowly to the rostrum, grabbed the microphone in front of the scorer without any explanation, opened it, and said in a low and thick voice,

"Can you fucking shut up!"

The sound echoed over the entire arena, and the audience fell silent in an instant. I believe that everyone present, including Lao Fu, have never seen such a player with such personality or such rebelliousness!

After saying this, Zhao Qiang walked towards the locker room without looking back. The fans in the audience quietly watched Zhao Qiang's back step by step, and no one said a word in shock!Until I watch him leave!

Old Fu smiled slightly, stood up, pressed the brim of his hat with his hand, and walked out.

The game on the field has not yet finished, so there is only Zhaoqiang in the locker room. Old Fu pushed open the door and saw Zhaoqiang taking off his jersey and sneakers, sitting on the bench drinking water. Old Fu saw the shirtless Zhao Qiang was shocked again, because this Zhao Qiang not only had two flowery arms, but his chest and back were full of tattoos, which made people dazzled.

Looking at Lao Fu, Zhao Qiang felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a while.

Old Fu closed the door and looked at his watch. The game will end in 10 minutes. Time is enough. He pulled a stool, sat next to Zhaoqiang, and said,
"Did that elbow strike on your part be intentional?"

Old Fu originally thought that after the incident on the court, Zhaoqiang would be furious, but unexpectedly, Zhaoqiang smiled, showing his white teeth and an extremely relaxed expression.

"Guess what."

"I think it's [-]-[-]."

Zhaoqiang smiled, raised his head and drank the mineral water in his hand, and then said,
"It wasn't intentional, it was just a little effort, hahaha!"

Zhaoqiang himself even laughed, he was completely different from the vicious look just now!
The more old Fu looked at Zhaoqiang, the more interesting he found it. It seemed that this rebellious young man was not as untouchable as ordinary people seemed, Old Fu asked with a chuckle.

"I especially want to know what did you say to He Jiang when he left the field?"

Zhao Qiang was slightly taken aback, with a smile on his lips, turned to look at Old Fu, and said with a smile,
"You really want to know?"

Old Fu nodded slightly.

"I mean, if you still want to play with me at your level, go back and practice for a few years and then come to Sanshui to find me. Remember, my name is Zhaoqiang."

Both Lao Fu and Zhao Qiang laughed hehehe.

"Who are you? I feel like I've seen you there before..."

Zhao Qiang touched his head with his arm full of tattoos, trying hard to think, but he couldn't seem to come up with it.

"I'm Fu Ming."

Old Fu said softly.

"You...you are...you are Fu..."

Zhao Qiang jumped up from the chair all of a sudden, with an incredulous expression on his face. I said, why does this old man feel so familiar? He turned out to be the pioneer of Chinese basketball, coach Fu Ming!Zhaoqiang had seen him on TV many times before, but now that he was in front of him, he didn't dare to recognize him.

"You are... Coach Fu Ming..."

Old Fu felt that although Zhao Qiang was a bit of a ruffian, he was not evil, and he should not be the kind of person with a bad heart. Old Fu had always been very confident in how he saw people.

Old Fu nodded lightly and said with a smile,

"Why do you have so many tattoos on your body?"

"Because I think I am a nostalgic person, every tattoo is a memory of mine, you see," Zhaoqiang raised his left arm, pointed to a tattoo on the outside of his left forearm with his right hand, and said,

"Look, she is my girlfriend, I love her, so I tattoo her here, and I can see her every day when I wake up."

Old Fu looked at the head case of the woman on his arm, and said,
"Why here?"

"The tattoo is here because as long as I lower my head, I can see her and miss her."

"Miss her? She's not with you?"

"No, she passed away, cancer, I can't do anything..."

Having said this, Zhao Qiang's expression dropped.

"Sorry……"

"It doesn't matter,"

Zhao Qiang squeezed out a small smile from the corner of his mouth, and said,

"It doesn't matter, life and death are up to God, everyone has his own destiny, everything has a definite number."

Old Fu nodded lightly and said,

"You are also quite open-minded. How old are you this year?"

"23 is old."

"I want to ask you a question," Old Fu said.

"Go ahead."

"You said that every tattoo on your body is a memory. You are only 23 years old this year, and your entire body has already been covered with tattoos. I want to know what to do with your future memories."

"Not anymore,"

Zhaoqiang murmured,
"There will never be any more in the future."

"What do you mean no more?"

"All the tattoos on my body are related to basketball, including her, which I love the most. I met them when I played games. This year is my last year in college. Today is also my last game in college. Graduation After graduation, I will find a serious job and leave basketball, so there will be no new tattoos."

Old Fu continued the conversation and continued to ask,
"Why, don't you want to play basketball?"

"Yes, it feels boring,"

Zhao Qiang suddenly smiled sadly, this smile, in the eyes of the old man, was mixed with a little helplessness and abjection,
"It feels like she left me, and I feel that life doesn't have much meaning."

"What do you mean boring?"

"To be honest, in this league, there is no one who can beat me, so I feel boring and have no challenge."

Zhao Qiang's indifferent words made Lao Fu feel very surprised. On the way here, Lao Fu thought of many kinds of answers to this question, but he didn't expect that the real answer was such a kind of loneliness and domineering arrogance!

"You can develop upwards, such as CBA."

"You don't know me. I have been sentenced."

Zhao Qiang said in a low voice,

"I was once sentenced for the crime of wounding, but it was my family's relationship that prevented me from going to prison."

"What! You..." Old Fu was taken aback!
"It's also for her." Zhaoqiang raised his left arm and looked at the woman's tattoo on his arm with expression, "I'm sorry, Coach Fu, I don't want to talk about this matter anymore. I was young and frivolous at that time. Now, everything is over. , I am also paying the price for my mistakes.”

"So...you really want to leave basketball and all the people who have high expectations of you?"

"No!"

Zhao Qiang stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, looked at the empty dressing room corridor, and said word by word,

"No! I love basketball! I love the sound of the ball hitting the floor! I love the feel of the ball rolling and rubbing in my hands! I'm proud of the fact that I'm hitting every rebound! Proud of the person who shoots or drives in front of him! I...I love basketball..."

Old Fu sat on the chair, quietly listening to Zhao Qiang's passionate and gradually sad words, and seeing Zhao Qiang's back with his head lowered slowly, his heart was filled with infinite sadness.

"But I have no choice. I have tried. No professional league team would want a person with a criminal record like me. I understand that all they need are obedient students. They are afraid that I will cause trouble for them." , Fine them money, deduct their money, no one is willing to fuck me... Rather than being abandoned by others, it is better for me to retreat slowly... This is my last trace of dignity..."

Old Fu nodded lightly. What Zhaoqiang said was not unreasonable. Then Old Fu looked at Zhaoqiang's eyes like copper bells and said,
"Then you can consider... NBA!"

"NBA?"

Zhaoqiang turned his head and looked at the slender old Fu wearing a gray baseball cap in front of him, NBA. To be honest, Zhaoqiang never thought that one day he would stand on the NBA floor and play.

"Now you are not the strongest you, if one day you conquer the NBA, you will be the strongest you!"

"The strongest me..."

The old Fu's words made Zhaoqiang's heart beat violently, Zhaoqiang murmured at the corner of his mouth,
Old Fu patted Zhaoqiang on the shoulder and said,
"Young people, you have to understand that some people have given up on you, but basketball has never given up on you! Don't think about giving up so quickly. The place you have reached and conquered now is just a small frog pond. Beyond this, there is a wider world waiting for you to explore!"

Zhao Qiang nodded half-understood, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it was true.

"On October 27th, at Haishi No. [-] Basketball Stadium, I will hold an NBA player selection match. I hope you can come."

Hearing the old Fu's words, Zhao Qiang was stunned for a full minute before recovering, then nodded firmly, and said,

"I'm definitely going! ... Thank you ..."

Old Fu left, and before he left, he said something like this to Zhao Qiang,

"Some things need to be remembered in the bottom of your heart. When you need to get a tattoo and see it to remember it, you don't need to remember it anymore. I hope you can understand, people, all It’s about looking to the future.”

Zhaoqiang looked at the back of the old Fu who was drifting away, and his heart was full of a feeling of deja vu but couldn't express it.
