Chapter 1 1. Let’s play basketball!

I don’t know when this world started to become magical.

During the great disaster, the ugliness of human nature was fully exposed, but fortunately, the light of human nature also illuminated the world.

In this magical era, Zhang Yang encountered something even more magical——

A two-story building in Hidden Hills, Los Angeles County. The first floor is a family restaurant by reservation, and the second floor is a residential area.

In the east-facing room on the second floor, Zhang Yang woke up from his sleep just after 6 o'clock in the morning.

After lying on the bed for a few minutes, the alarm rang at 6:06. He reached out and pressed the alarm clock on the bedside table, and the ringing stopped.

I got up and tore off a page from the calendar on the closet. July 7th...18.

Three days ago, he woke up and found himself on July 3, 2003, and turned into a 7-year-old boy.

There is an old saying: On the 15th day of July, ghosts run around.

Time travel is definitely a weird thing, but shouldn’t the Mid-Autumn Festival refer to the lunar calendar?
But when he thought about the fact that the men's basketball team actually lost to the Japanese, the idea of ​​time travel didn't seem so weird anymore.

"It seems that I can't go back. There's nothing wrong with traveling through time. At least I have the habit of going to bed early and getting up early."

Zhang Yang muttered something, put on his clothes, left the bedroom and went to the bathroom to wash up. When he passed the living room, he looked at the wedding photo of his cheap parents on the wall.

He did get the memories of the original body, perhaps because the original body was only 15 years old and had so little experience, it had almost no impact on his cognition and personality.

The biggest impact was in terms of family affection, helping him quickly get familiar with his step-parents.

The parents in his memory, and the parents he got to know in the past few days, were completely unrelated to the young man and woman in the photo.

The father Zhang Chen in the photo is a handsome guy, and the mother Yang Jing has a sweet appearance.

If the mother is used as a reference, the father does not look tall, but in fact it is his mother who is too tall, just over 1.8 meters.

Thinking of my father who is now pot-bellied and chopping the bones of pigs, cows and sheep with a machete, and my mother who is strong and sturdy and can walk briskly with a bucket in one hand...

"Life is really a handful of pig feed..."

Zhang Yang sighed and went to the bathroom, looking at himself in the mirror.

After a few days, when I looked in the mirror again, the awkward feeling was getting less and less. I guess I would get used to it if I looked at it more often.

The young man in the mirror is about 60% similar to his original self, both of them have sunny and handsome looks.

The most similar part was the eyes. When he just stared at the eyes, he thought he had not traveled through time.

He is two or three points less handsome than before, but his height of 188 cm makes up for it. Originally, he was only 175 cm tall, which is the average height.

As the saying goes, one height can cover up a hundred uglinesses.

There is just one problem. He is only 15 years old now. Although he has passed the fastest growth age, he will definitely continue to grow. If he continues to grow taller, it will definitely have a certain impact on his life. For example, it will be difficult to buy clothes.

Now that he was here, Zhang Yang was no longer hesitant. At least he could enjoy his carefree student days.

...

What was the happiest thing during your student days?
Zhang Yang recalled that "gathering together to violate the law" and playing games in Internet cafes with classmates ranked second, and the first was playing basketball.

After entering the society, playing games has become the number one pastime in spare time. As for basketball, people no longer play it, and even watch it less. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the NBA became a three-point shooting league more than a decade later.

Such games were fresh at first, but became boring after a while. Jokes seemed to have discovered the problem and wanted to force Antetokounmpo to the top, but even though Antetokounmpo won two MVPs, not many people regarded him as a signature star. They only regarded him as a breakthrough player. This forced push not only failed to achieve the goal, but also disgusted the fans.

What’s more, the men’s basketball team even dared to lose to the Japanese... These days are still good!
Because of his preference for basketball, he has paid special attention to basketball-related information while learning about the world through the Internet, television and newspapers these days.

Yao Ming just finished his rookie season which started off slow but ended up strong. Although it was a pity that he did not win the Rookie of the Year award, his performance has been recognized and he is regarded as a potential super center.

Duncan ended the OK combination's three consecutive championships and snatched away Malone's title of the greatest power forward in history.

At only 27 years old, he already has two MVPs, two championships, two FMVPs, 6 first team, 5 first defense, 1 second defense... Such a player, even in the era ruled by God, would make God tremble.

Under the pressure brought by Duncan, the Lakers Big Four that shocked the basketball world was born.

上赛季科比场均30分6.9板5.9助攻2.2抢断、奥尼尔场均27.5分11.1板3.1助攻2.4盖帽、马龙场均20.6分7.8板4.7助攻1.7抢断、佩顿场均20.4分4.2板8.4助攻1.7抢断……

When the data of these four people were put together, Zhang Yang, a time traveler, was stunned when he saw it.

This is much more amazing than the second generation F4, because it includes Shaquille O'Neal. Zhang Yang even thinks that O'Neal alone can match the four guys in the second generation F4.

In addition to Kidd, Iverson, Carter, McGrady, Webber, Garnett, Nowitzki, Ray Allen, Peja, Ben Wallace, O'Neal Jr.... and other superstars with distinctive playing styles and personalities and their own charms, as a basketball fan, returning to this golden age of basketball, Zhang Yang feels that it would be a shame for the No. 8 blacksmith who still has a head full of beautiful hair and a young man if he doesn't go to the court to hit a few irons with him.

After washing up, Zhang Yang went to the storage room and found the basketball at the bottom of the box.

Looking at the basketball that looks almost brand new... Zhang Yang-_-||
The original body also likes sports and has a strong body, but what he likes is baseball instead of basketball.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with liking baseball. Baseball is the most popular sport in the United States. These days, if Chinese children who come to the United States want to play sports, they generally choose to play baseball.

But his talent in baseball... He has been playing baseball for 5 years, and has nothing to do with the school team, he just plays some cricket.

If his original body was good at playing baseball, Zhang Yang wouldn't mind trying something new, but given this talent and the fact that he had never played baseball before, he decided to give up on this sport.

He rummaged through the drawers and found the air pump at the bottom of the drawer. After pumping up the basketball, he said hello to his step-parents who had just woken up and went to the park to play basketball.

Zhang Chen and Yang Jing were a little surprised to see that Zhang Yang didn't wear a hat and take a baseball to practice pitching, but went out with a basketball, but didn't take it to heart.

Zhang Yang noticed the two people's reactions and breathed a sigh of relief.

The original body had the habit of doing morning exercises. In the past few days, he also took a baseball out in the morning, but that was purely to prevent his step-parents from noticing that something was wrong with him. After going out, he did not practice pitching, but ran a few laps to sweat.

Now that he has accepted his new identity, he naturally will not imitate his original self completely. It is too tiring, especially the minor details. They can be changed little by little. Integration is mutual.

I jogged all the way to the basketball court in the nearby park.

It was not yet 6:3 and the three playgrounds in the park were empty, with no one there.

Zhang Yang chose the middle court. How could he not choose the center position when playing basketball? If the conditions were not prohibited in the hot summer, he would have to wear overalls.

He dribbled the ball a few times, feeling awkward, as if his mind and body weren't working together.

In his previous life, his ball-handling skills were not bad and he was able to do some fancy moves as a student, but he had hardly played basketball in this body and his body could not keep up with his consciousness.

He felt a little pain in his balls, but he didn't take it too seriously. He just came here to have fun and do some morning exercise.

He came to the free throw line, jumped, shot, and shouted "Kobe"... The ball hit the backboard and bounced into the frame with a bang.

Zhang Yang's eyes widened, not because of this outrageous shot.

His previous poor ball control had already prepared him for the outrageous feel of his shot, so this goal was only somewhat comedic.

But it was because a 'door' appeared in front of him!
A translucent double door with a 'zero' written in the middle, and a plaque above the door with three big characters: Hall of Fame!
