2015 was a relatively normal year. Compared with the twists and turns of 2008, it was actually a bit calm, even dull.

It was a day in early summer in June, and there was a "bang bang bang bang" sound coming from the cement basketball court.

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes slow, sometimes urgent.

"Hey, Tang Qian, Tang Qian, let me tell you some good news, let me tell you some good news!"

A "tenor" voice came from the distance.

"It's Lu Yang? What's wrong? What's the matter?" The sound of basketball in the cement court stopped.

"I knew you were here." The visitor was a tall boy, about 1.9 meters tall, with a medium build and a bright smile on his face.

"Come on, guess what the news is?" Lu Yang said with a smile.

"You want to talk or not." Tang Qian glanced at him and continued to play the basketball.

"Hey, hey, why are you like this? You're so boring. Forget it, let me tell you, Kobe has announced his comeback and will participate in the opening game."

"Really?" Tang Qian's face finally showed a trace of fluctuation, and he murmured: "Finally, finally are you back again?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Tang Qian's face and he said, "I'm in a good mood today. Practice two moves with me."

"Haha, just practice, no one is afraid of whom. I, Lu Yang, am also on the school team after all. I can deal with you with just one hand!" Lu Yang responded loudly.

After a fierce battle, the two sat on the floor, sweat still dripping down their young faces.

"It's great, it's great. If I didn't have the height advantage, it would be really difficult to beat a guy like you." Lu Yang said carelessly.

"But Tang Qian, your academic performance is so good, why do you like to play basketball? I see that among the nerds in the school, almost none of them are active. They all look like 'sirs'."

"I don't know, it's just because I like it." Tang Qian's eyes flickered twice and he said insincerely.

"Hey, buddy, to be honest, don't be angry. Although you can shoot accurately, you are too short and you are really at a disadvantage when playing basketball. If you want to successfully complete the same action, it will be several times more difficult than ordinary people.

And it’s always thankless.”

"Well, I know." Tang Qian caressed the basketball track nonchalantly.

In fact, why didn't he know what Lu Yang said? It's just height and natural factors that take up too much. If he wants to change, it is undoubtedly a fantasy and impossible.

Maybe in this life, I can only love you like this.

Tang Qian looked at the basketball in his hand and said silently.

Three months later, Tang Qian died due to a heart attack and failed treatment.

……………………

Where am I? My head feels dizzy and my eyelids feel so heavy.

I don't know how long it took, but when Tang Qian opened his eyes again, he found that he was back in the cheap little room in the university. Everything was as before, nothing had happened.

Apart from……

Wait? What are the furnishings in this room? Tang Qian suddenly struggled up from the bed, then pulled out the calendar with force, staring at it intently.

Sure enough, today is the year 2008.

So this place is not a cheap rental house in the university, but...

My own home???

Did he travel through time?

But...so what?

Tang Qian looked at himself in the mirror with wan interest. Everything was the same as before, his height of just over 1.65 meters, his thin body, and except for his more childish face, nothing seemed to have changed.

He is still him.

An ordinary Tang Qian.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he suddenly gave a bitter smile and said: "I have traveled through time, are you asking me to come back and waste time?"

"If this is the case, what's the point of everything?"

"I still can't play basketball."

"I still can't play the basketball I love!"

"In this case, what's the point???"

On this day, Tang Qianqian saw in the news that the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Boston Celtics with a total score of 2 to 4, losing the fifteenth championship in team history.

The two-month summer vacation passed by in a flash. Tang Qian's family was an ordinary person, and his parents were both lower-class salary earners. However, he still squeezed into Y City's key high school, Chengnan High School, with excellent results.

September 1, 2008, was the first day of school at Chengnan High School. On this day, the old students returned to the classroom full of energy after relaxing during the summer vacation. The freshmen from Chengnan also whispered to each other and entered timidly.

High school is full of desire and curiosity for students who have just emerged from the ignorance of junior high school.

Young and brilliant, passionate and passionate.

On this day, Chengnan High School welcomed a special person.

He is Tang Qian.

"How can I get to the school basketball court?"

"Ah? Well, our school has two large outdoor basketball courts and one indoor basketball court. The outdoor basketball court is in the northeast and the indoor basketball court is two hundred meters away in the west corner." The person who answered Tang Qian's words was a pretty girl.

He was wearing a ponytail, cloth shoes and a long skirt, and looked very innocent. However, Tang Qian didn't even look at her, and walked away after hearing this.

"Well... our school's indoor basketball court is generally not open to outsiders. Only the school team can go in for training." Seeing Tang Qian walking towards the west corner of the school, the girl kindly reminded her.

"Oh? Really? Is there such a rule?" Tang Qian stopped and frowned.

"Then it seems we can only go to the outdoor basketball court to practice first."

"Hey, you, wait a minute, look at the notice in your hand. You are a freshman, right? Freshmen have to line up over there to register." The ponytail girl looked up at Tang Qian and said.

"I know, but there are too many people now. I'll come back later. Anyway, it's okay to come earlier or later," Tang Qian said.

"You, what's your name?" The ponytail girl saw that Tang Qian was about to leave again, so she couldn't help blurting out.

Tang Qian frowned and looked at the other person, whispering: "Tang Qian."

"Oh, eh, wait a minute, my name is Zhou Zhiru!"

A week later, the basketball court of Chengnan School.

"Hey, have you heard that a monster came to our school, and all the top players on the field were knocked down by him?"

"It's more than that. I heard that this man is tall and powerful, and he is very fierce compared to Li Kui!"

"Do you think he will come today?"

"I think so. Whenever school is over, he will come and play for an hour."

"Haha, I came here specially today and sacrificed my time to pick up girls online just to see the true face of this monster! Don't let me down!"

"Tch, I will definitely not disappoint you. Even if you only meet someone like him once, you will be deeply impressed."

Ten minutes later, a burly figure appeared on the outdoor basketball court in the south of the city.

As soon as this person appeared, the entire outdoor basketball court's attention was attracted to him.

An hour.

"Look, do you see it? Is it a monster?"

"Holy shit, is this still a human being? Is he really a high school student in our school?"

"Nonsense, I've heard all about it. This guy is a freshman in high school and just came to our school this year."

"That's great. With such a monster here, our school may have hope for this year's basketball competition. Otherwise, it would be tortured by other schools every year. It would be too horrible to watch."

……………………

"Classmate Tang Qian, I am the school team coach in Chengnan. I solemnly invite you to join our school team and bring glory to our school."

…

"Oh, what? No, no, no! Tang Qian is a smart kid with top-notch grades. He will definitely be a candidate for a key university in the future. How can we let him play basketball? Isn't that a waste of resources? Absolutely not! I don't agree!"

"Oh, Teacher Chen, I also know Xiao Tang's results. He ranked third in the city in the middle school examination. But it is precisely because of this that he needs to develop all-round morally, intellectually, and physically. Teacher Chen, it's not that I don't understand what you mean.

It’s just that the purpose of our school is not to cultivate nerds and develop them in an all-round way, but to be responsible for students!”

"Director, I..."

"Okay, okay, Teacher Chen, this matter is settled. If Tang Qian joins the school team, if his grades really decline significantly, it won't be too late to discuss it. Okay, okay, I have something else on hand here.

, Teacher Chen, just please help yourself."

…

In the following three years, the Chengnan Middle School National Basketball League ranked first every time and never failed.

Tang Qian, the devil in the south of the city, has gradually become a famous name in Y City and even in the country.

…

On the eve of the college entrance examination, Zhou Zhiru, who had been promoted to a freshman, stood quietly outside the gate of Chengnan High School, looking inside from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.
