Chapter 161 T.195: Memories

Shangguan Jinnan nodded, then looked at the quartz sand in his hand and recalled: "I used to be one of the last 15 players in FBP. I am the FBP code name 'Sword' (牧剑)", the first shooting guard.

"Sword." Ling Lan repeated the code name he mentioned, "That is to say, there are only fifteen people left in the FBP, and everyone has a code name like this?"

Shangguan Jinnan nodded, looking at the calm river surface, flashes of memories...

In midsummer and July, here is the Duoba National Plateau Training Base in Xining, Qinghai, with an altitude of 2366 meters.

If someone tells you that he dreams of playing basketball on a vast plateau, I think he must be lying.When I set my feet on this earth for the first time, I knew one thing: I couldn't find happiness here.Every step I take, I feel that my heart is squeezed dry, and it is difficult to breathe. The special zone of high altitude and high latitude is synonymous with this place. I came here with a group of peers who were also selected by FBP...

I am a member of FBP, a very ordinary member.

I was just an ordinary junior high school student, and I was supposed to enjoy the happy time of the wonderful vacation, but a highly confidential basketball program recruiting letter completely changed my life: FBP, the final basketball program.I don't know what it means, and I don't know its connotation. I just find that everyone around me seems to be envious of me being selected for this training plan. The beautiful fantasy of reality has sent me here, to this cold, oxygen-deprived, desolate and hopelessly barren place.Just like everyone of the same age standing outside the training base on the desolate plateau at the moment, shivering with the bitter cold wind that has trekked thousands of miles from the Siberian ice sheet...

I saw that the eyes of each of them were the same: suspicious of life.

"Hey classmate, are you okay?"

Someone greeted me actively. It was a junior high school student of the same age. It seemed that he was only a little shorter than me, probably more than 180 centimeters.I replied to him out of politeness and parenting: "A little short of breath, hello."

"Ding Yuhang, what about you?" He has a cheerful personality and invites to shake hands to make friends here to find a sense of mutual dependence. I put down my left hand that was pinching my Adam's apple to help me breathe and shook hands with him and said, "Shangguan Jinnan, hello."

"Hehe, your altitude sickness is really strong." Ding Yuhang helped me carry a backpack out of friendship. I brought a lot of luggage, after all, I am a son of a rich family.Only when I stepped into the plateau training base here did I know that cruel things were about to begin. There were no bustling streets and warm sunshine, no single-person apartments and care for relatives and friends... There were only dormitories for four people, and I never slept in bunk beds. , I once suspected that I had walked into a prison.

The first day at the beginning was the most difficult and longest day. When I was so tired that I almost fell into shock after running 15000 meters in the middle and long distance, it seemed that my altitude sickness was particularly obvious... Then I was specially When the training instructor sent me to the health room, I clearly realized how pitiful my so-called sense of superiority was: among the 52 recruited junior high school students, there were twelve who couldn't bear the first day of training like me.

"I won't do it! It's too hard!" Someone pushed open the door of the health room and fled in panic in his tired heart, and fell to the ground exhausted after walking a few steps. "Send me home, I'm going home woohoo..." "I'm going back too I'm not training...help" "I'm quitting...I'm still a kid!"

Listening to these cries for help and fleeing voices, it's hell here.

"Hey, Shangguan!"

A familiar voice came from outside the window of the health care room. Ding Yuhang and another person of the same age that I did not know were peeping into the health care room through the glass window.I bowed my head as if I was ashamed by the feeling of ridicule that I had never experienced since I was a child. Maybe they came here specially to laugh at me, which made me feel ashamed.

After a long time, without waiting for my reply, Ding Yuhang walked into the health room and asked me: "Shangguan, are you okay? Your altitude sickness seems to be particularly obvious? Are you physically strong enough?"

I shook my head slightly, and under the dual effects of escape psychology and the environment, I uttered a sentence: "Ding, I may have to withdraw from this training plan... I am too weak to persist."

"What are you talking about!" Ding Yuhang interrupted me with a wave of his hand, "If you can't take it on the first day, you'd be too contemptuous of yourself... Shangguan, let's go, we won't be able to wait for the result here."

I didn't understand the meaning of his words. The person standing next to Ding Yuhang looked around and said calmly: "This is the shelter for quitting FBP. Those who give up will wait here... Let's find a special trainer Bar!"

"What's that?" I stood up and followed them out of the health room to ask. Ding Yuhang patted me on the shoulder and said, "Shangguan, don't you know? There are many professional trainers in this FBP, and of course there are also health consultants." , it’s just that I haven’t shown my face before the official start.”

"I didn't show my face..." I asked even more curiously, "How did you guys know..."

The young man next to Ding Yuhang took out a high-end mobile phone from his pocket and said with a slight smile: "As the saying goes, money can turn ghosts around. This Shangguan Jinnan son doesn't understand this truth?"

"So it's like this..." I suddenly realized and walked behind the two, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, have I?"

"My name..." The handsome and pleasant peer waved at me, "Hua Yanlei."

Hua Yanlei, such a handsome and free-spirited name, just like everyone else's tension and style.Hua Yanlei walked in front and walked to the corner of the corridor, then stopped, turned around, looked at my face and said, "Keep going, Shangguan Jinnan, you will become the proud son of heaven on the basketball stage, I have no doubts about it."

Hua Yanlei's words gave me great encouragement.But adapting is a very, very painful thing, but as long as you persevere, you will find that everything is not as cruel as you originally imagined. On the first day of FBP, the fact that 10 people were eliminated and quit directly was shocking, followed by the second day, and the third day...the number of people was constantly decreasing, and they "died" one after another in the place where they could not persist among the lies.

In the morning after 15 days, there were only 30 people left, and 22 people struggled and struggled painfully for half a month, but they finally failed to persist. They were sent away with a look of dying, crying, Yelling, back to my comfortable teenage years. Only half a month after FBP started, they left forever this barren plateau training base. FBP, once favored, carefully selected 52 young basketball elites from all over the country. After only half a month of plateau training, 22 of them quit...

What a travesty to be the top group of basketball teens selected nationwide.
