The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

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

And Tom obviously wanted to try again, because the people lying on the floor were one of his few friends. Tom, a white man, had a hard time living 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 he has a low IQ, so he can speak his mind without worrying about being known by others.

Moreover, this time he was dragged onto the boat by him, and Tom still couldn't bear to leave just like that. After all, he was only a 10-year-old boy, and he hadn't been beaten by the society yet, so he still had some sense of loyalty in his heart.

As if seeing Tom's thoughts, Jerry gritted his teeth. To be honest, if he could take Zuo Li with him, he would not give up easily. He was also his own person anyway, but he knew that if he and Tom were two and a half The big guy and the big guy walked back to the orphanage more than a dozen blocks away, and there was a high probability that they would be watched, 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 endless. Although Jerry does not know such statistics, he is the largest and the earliest of the three people after all. Those who have left the orphanage, after all, according to the regulations of the United States, they must move out of the orphanage to survive on their own when they reach the age of 16. Mr. Derek also deliberately let these children who are close to the age go out early.

Although he is reluctant, there is only so much Mr. Derek can do. After all, the orphanage does not belong to him. Even though he knows that most of these people will go astray when they go out, he can't change everything. This is the society here. The law of survival, what can be done is to adapt to this society in advance.

Jerry knew the dangers here. As for going to the hospital, there is one nearby, but the hospital does not take care of the poor. They only have less than 20 dollars on them now, so they probably can't even walk through the hospital gate.

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

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

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

And this civil and martial arts, sonic attack and physical blow seemed to have finally worked. The left and right fingers of the big man lying on the ground slowly contracted, and his eyes struggled for a long time, and they gradually tended to open.

At this time, in the brain of this big man whose name is not remembered by anyone, 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, and the location is also in New York, but it is completely different from the Harlem District that was introduced in a lot of space before, because this is Lower Manhattan, New York!

When it comes to New York, the lower city is an area that cannot be avoided. Although many people think of New York, they must think of the Upper East Side full of high-end and Old Money. In many American dramas such as "Gossip Girl" and "Desire" "Urban" and so on, have advertised living on the Upper East Side as a real symbol of identity, status and wealth.

However, in 2017, the most expensive housing prices in Manhattan were actually in the lower city, where there are Wall Street, World Trade Center, the world's financial center, Soho, the most fashionable shopping district in New York, and many art museums, such as the Whitney Museum of Art, New Contemporary Art Museum, the New York Chinese Museum, etc. In addition, New York Chinatown is also located in Lower Manhattan.

The location was right in Chinatown. In 2017, New York had snowflakes in the winter as usual. Tonight was different from usual. The snow was extremely dense. After more than ten minutes, a thin layer had accumulated on the ground.

In the center of Chinatown, a Chinese restaurant named Lin's Quick Stir-fry was not affected by the snowstorm. Pedestrians came and went in a hurry, but the shop was still full of people. The winter night snow seemed to stimulate people's taste buds even more, but It can be seen from the frequency that people around the dining table unconsciously speed up their chopsticks waving, there is nothing more comfortable than returning to a warm nest after a full meal.

It was the evening, and it was the peak time for dining. The bearded and bald boss in the restaurant was waving a large frying spoon and dancing spring and autumn beside the stove. A plate of dry fried rice noodles was quickly formed under the frying spoon. For those who make a living, the taste of hometown is the greatest comfort in life.

And the proprietress who was running back and forth to greet the guests also met the guests again. A person with an ordinary appearance and a height of less than 165 centimeters walked slowly into the door, but from the deep and shallow footprints on the snow, it can be seen that his legs He seemed to have been traumatized, so he simply greeted the proprietress, someone found an empty seat and sat down, then waved at the bald boss; "Boss Lin, a plate of dumplings! A bottle of old white dry!"

"Okay~! Come here!" It was obvious that the boss and the visitor were very familiar, and he nodded with a smile, and skillfully served the dumplings.

Wait a while, the dumplings were cooked, and it happened that there were no new guests at this time, and Boss Lin finally had time to leave from the stove. Lao Baigan put it in the middle, took out two cups and filled them skillfully, one for each: "I'm in a good mood tonight, what's the good news, you haven't come to drink with me for a while."

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

Boss Lin didn't care, as if he knew that the person in front of him had such a personality, he grinned, picked up the cup and clinked it heavily, regardless of who came, and drank it all by himself: "Ha~huh~ Cool! I didn't say that, this baijiu is still so exciting!"

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

"Hey, yes, but I think it's good to get drunk sometimes. Life is all about comfort!" Boss Lin smashed his mouth, as if he was relishing the taste of liquor, and then put down his glass Said with emotion to the visitor.

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

"coming!"

It just so happened that a new guest came in at this time, Boss Lin didn't say anything more, put down his wine glass, patted the visitor on the shoulder, and then returned to the stove.

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

"Cough, cough, cough~!!!" The spicy white wine rushed straight to the throat, directly causing the person who came to cough violently, and in exchange 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 amount of alcohol is so bad, let's change to beer next time!"

The person who came didn't care, wiped his mouth calmly, and then ate a dumpling, and people's attention did not continue to stay on him, because at this time, the TV hanging in the middle of the store was turned on by the customer, and it happened to be It is the familiar TV station—ESPN.

And it was playing a familiar program, the NBA regular season, the New York Knicks played against their city rivals the Brooklyn Nets at home.

It's just that except for one die-hard fan in the store, no one else is interested in this game, because the so-called New York City Derby at this time is just a pecking game. For them, they really don't have much energy After all, they are just foreigners, and they have a general sense of belonging here, so naturally they can't be as big-hearted as diehard fans of the Knicks.

But yes, with the Knicks' record and history, fans with bad hearts have long been sent away.

The visitor didn't pay attention, but his eyes became blurred, as if he was remembering something, and at this moment, the conversation between the two guests reached the visitor's ears.

"Hey, tell me, here, what is the strength of the game? One dish, one more dish, it has been bad for so many years, and it is still the same. The NBA is not as good as it is every year. There is no suspense. This year, the Warriors are still playing the Cavaliers. It's been four years, and the eyes can see calluses."

"Then what can be done? In the era of big grouping, star grouping is the kingly way. Look, it will still be like this in the future. The previous NBA will not come back."

"That's right, but why does no one like 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 says it's not? Anyone who has watched the Knicks team will say no to it. The basketball team in the world's largest city is like this. It's outrageous."

It can be heard that the two still like basketball very much, and they like the Knicks. After all, they live in New York. Many people agree that they love houses and blacks, and then the content of the chat turned to domestic players.

"Continue to play like this, and my buddies will not hesitate to watch it in the future. It's boring. Besides, there are no Chinese players. That Zhou, Zhou and so on, really can't do it. It's been a few years. After Dayao retired, no one can stand up to him."

"Hey, tell me, when will a player like Dayao appear..."

"Hey... let's not talk, let's have a drink."

……

It came to an abrupt end again, the snow outside seemed to be getting bigger, and the restaurant was quiet again, only the sound of grilling rice and the broadcast sound from the TV could be heard.

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

Zuo Li, a former super 160 fighter, will always hurt Zhongyong in the basketball world.

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

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

Everything started in 1998. His parents were ordinary working-class people in GD. They died in an accident. Zuo Li, 9 years old, was sent to the local sports school, because he had already shown special abilities at such a young age. Talent, that is speed!

Zuo Li can run very fast. At the age of 9, he can even run as well as a 14-year-old senior. This made the coach of the local sports school not bear him wasting his talent, so he received special training from the sports school.

And Zuo Li, who has excellent speed and excellent jumping, 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. Province, although the CBA is still ruled by Bayi at this time, the youth training system that GD has carried out for so many years is gradually exerting its power.

The story that followed was very similar to the stories of many famous basketball players who became famous in the early days. At a young age, Zuo Li lived a life as a professional sports student. Diluted by the daily hard training, so he gradually changed from liking basketball to loving, and then to being infatuated. Falling asleep 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 No.3 with the team. His first honor.

If everything goes well, Zuo Li will have the opportunity to step into the profession and be on the professional stage, but the sky fails, and soon Zuo Li will encounter the biggest trouble in his life, that is, he will not grow up!

A 14-year-old boy should have reached the age of further development, but Zuo Li is still 160, not too many points, not too many points, which worries the coach. Everyone knows what it means to not grow up when playing basketball. It was the end of the world.

At the age of 16, although Zuo Li had become the player with the best skills, the highest shooting percentage 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 the immature training system, and he has almost no hope of entering the professional arena.

After all, when playing 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 third position. If you are 190 cm, the coach will tell you that there is nothing wrong with a guard. If you are 180 cm, The coach will tell you that hard work can make up for your weaknesses, and you can also use your strengths. If you are 170 centimeters, the coach will let you find a class earlier.

If you are 160 cm...

Seriously, the coach really doesn't care about you, okay?

So the coach had a serious talk with Zuo Li. After all, it was their negligence that they didn’t test the bone age in time. The scientific nature of Chinese basketball training at the turn of the century was really mediocre. Zuo Li’s case was not an exception. He looks a little special.

This also made Zuo Li's enlightenment coach Zhang Kun, who is also the coach of the third GD men's basketball team, feel very guilty for Zuo Li. After all, Zuo Li is so talented that he can still gain a foothold in other sports. A 16-year-old can run 11 meters in 70 seconds The track and field team is very much looking for someone, not to mention the left vertical jumping ability of [-] centimeters.

But now, it's all over. The 16-year-old Zuo Li has lost the best time to change his project. What's more, with his height, he will be restricted in any project.

It's just that Zuo Li himself has no intention of giving up basketball.

"Coach, I will not give up. Without my height, I can still gain a foothold in the professional arena. Isn't there 160 fighters in the NBAS? If he can do it, then I can do it too!"

Zuo Li's eloquent answer made Zhang Kun give up his persuasion. On the contrary, he felt that what Zuo Li said made sense. After all, Zuo Li's talent and golf intelligence were the best he had ever seen. Maybe a miracle would 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 accepted by the team. The head coach of the first team valued it and was promoted to the GD men's basketball team.

A 160 legendary fighter officially landed in CBA!
