Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

In the north, outside a certain youth team.

In a small shop, Yang Mingxuan and Zhao Heng were sitting together. They ordered a few side dishes. When the dishes were served, Yang Mingxuan shouted: "Boss, a bottle of beer."

Zhao Heng was stunned for a moment. He had no time to stop him and could only frown and asked: "Brother Yang, I remember that you didn't drink alcohol before. You insisted on not drinking at several team gatherings. Now..."

"You want to say that I want to drink, right?" Yang Mingxuan said with a smile: "Actually, I don't like drinking now, but sometimes I feel depressed and I want to drink some."

At this time, Yang Mingxuan's expression was very complicated. Zhao Heng didn't know what to say. He was silent for a few seconds, turned around and shouted: "Boss, get an extra bottle, two cups."

Yang Mingxuan smiled.

When the boss brought the beer, Yang Mingxuan grabbed the beer, placed both bottles of beer in front of him, picked up one bottle and poured Zhao Heng a glass, and said: "It will be the knockout round of the North District competition soon, you drink with me. Just one cup is fine, give me more."

Zhao Heng didn't insist either.

Indeed, the North Division knockout rounds are coming soon. As the team's ace player, he must strictly demand himself.

Although Yang Mingxuan is missing this season, the foundation of Donggang No. 9 Middle School is still there. Zhao Heng has grown up and replaced Yang Mingxuan and became the ace of Donggang No. 9 Middle School. In addition, several first-year high school players recruited by the team are also good. The strength of Donggang No. 9 Middle School has declined, but it still made it to the North District Competition.

However, in the North District competition, facing many opponents, Donggang No. 9 Middle School could only qualify for the group by finishing second in Group A, but failed to win the first place in the group.

Next is the cross-knockout stage, which is very important for Donggang No. 9 Middle School.

It also happened that the North District competition was held in the same city as Yang Mingxuan's youth team. After the group stage, taking advantage of this gap, Zhao Heng asked Yang Mingxuan to come out and sit down.

"Here, let's go." Yang Mingxuan picked up the wine glass, "You can take a sip."

After saying that, he raised his head and drank a glass of beer.

Zhao Heng was stunned again. He had only seen Yang Mingxuan drink once before, which was when the team won the national championship last season and held a celebration banquet.

At that time, Yang Mingxuan had only had one drink, and Zhao Heng could tell that Yang Mingxuan was not skilled in his movements and he really didn't drink.

But at this moment, Yang Mingxuan's movements were very skillful. There was no reaction after drinking a glass of wine, so he picked up the bottle and poured another glass.

"Brother Yang." Zhao Heng held the wine glass in his hand but did not drink. He hesitated and asked, "Are you unhappy in the youth team?"

"It's nothing." Yang Mingxuan shook his head and picked up the wine glass, "Come on, you didn't even drink just now. I'll do it. You can do whatever you want."

After that, he drank another glass.

Zhao Heng took a sip. Seeing what he was about to say, Yang Mingxuan interrupted: "Don't just drink, eat vegetables. It's been a long time since we sat down to eat together. Thinking about it, I really miss the time when I was in school. Although the training was hard, , but it was a fulfilling and happy life. We are a group of people together, have the same love, the same dream, and work hard for the dream together, how wonderful it is."

Having said this, Zhao Heng was also quite emotional.

This time last year, he was just a freshman in high school, and Yang Mingxuan was there to support him in everything.

Now that Yang Mingxuan has left the team, he has become the team's ace. The courage on his shoulders has become heavier, and the pressure on his heart has also increased. Sometimes he really misses the past. He just needs to train hard, compete well, and do his own thing well.

Unfortunately, as time passes, the environment will always change, and people will always have to learn to grow, learn to shoulder more burdens, and face more difficulties.

The two chatted for a while about what happened at Donggang No. 9 Middle School, and the atmosphere became lively.

Soon Yang Mingxuan had finished a bottle of beer.

As he said, he still doesn't like drinking very much, and his drinking capacity is not very good. After drinking a bottle of beer, his face starts to turn red.

There was still more than half the bottle left, so he poured himself another glass. Zhao Heng thought for a while, took it and poured himself another glass. He picked up the glass and said: "Come here, pay tribute to the days when we fought side by side, and pay tribute to our passing." Youth and unchanging friendship.”

Yang Mingxuan also raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "You can do it, kid. You talk in one way now. Are you making progress?"

......

After a while, the second bottle of beer was gone.

At this time, Zhao Heng's cup was still one-third full, and Yang Mingxuan's cup was already empty.

Seeing that Yang Mingxuan's face was red and already slightly tipsy, Zhao Heng asked tentatively: "Brother Yang, tell me about your time in the youth team. I'm really looking forward to it."

Yearn for?

Yang Mingxuan pouted: "Don't yearn for it. Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel. When you get closer, you will find that maybe it is better to keep some illusions. Hiccup..."

As he spoke, he burped, "Listen to my brother's advice and don't follow my example and join the youth team. It's not a paradise. Once you get there, you'll know that basketball... haha, basketball They also have to be ranked based on seniority.”

This seemed to open up the conversation, or it seemed that some words had been held in my heart for too long, and finally came out through the drunkenness: "I thought that after winning the national championship and the finals MVP, I would be focused on training when I got to the youth team. But the result is not that when you get to the youth team coach, he just says, your foundation is not solid enough, you have to start from the basics..."

"Haha, my basic skills may not be solid enough, but that won't stop me from practicing and playing games at the same time, right? Why do you only let me practice and not teach me when it's time to compete?"

"Okay, I admit it."

"One month, two months, and half a year passed. The only result was that you have made progress, but you still need to practice more, and don't be in a hurry to play the game."

"I'm already 18, and I'll be 19 in a few months. How much time do I have to waste? I want to play. Only in this way can I stand out and have a chance to be picked by a professional team. Even if it's not the first team, The second team is fine too..."

At the end of the sentence, Yang Mingxuan's eyes turned red.

Zhao Heng was also worried when he heard this. He wanted to comfort Yang Mingxuan, but he didn't know how to comfort him. In the end, Yang Mingxuan pulled him and said seriously: "Listen to me, don't join the youth team."

Zhao Heng was stunned for no reason, and after a while he said with difficulty: "But Brother Yang, how can you play in the professional league if you don't join the youth team?"

For a moment, Yang Mingxuan was also stunned. He seemed to have sobered up and forced out a bitter smile: "Yes, when I joined the youth team, wasn't it just to play in the professional league and become a professional player? If I didn't join the youth team, how could I become a professional player? professional player?"

Go to college, play CUBA in the future, and strive to join a professional team?

This is not without precedent. There are also CUBA players who have been favored by professional teams, entered the NBL, and even the CBA, and became professional players, but there are too few examples.

This road seems more difficult than the youth team.
