The Golden Age of Basketball

(This book will not be written as science fiction, but needs a hidden thread)

"Where are you from, sir?"

"Me? I'm...I'm from Portland."

"Where is your home, I can take you back... Oh no, my car can't start anymore, tell me where your home is, and I'll find a taxi to take you back."

"I... I don't know... I'm blind..."

"Then do you have your family's phone number? You tell me, I'll call them and ask them to pick you up."

"No... I'm alone, I live alone."

"Then you...then why did you appear in the middle of the road? Was someone trying to murder you? Or...you have some kind of illness and suddenly fainted on the road?"

"No...not...neither..."[

"Okay, then you go home with me first, at least you won't be hit by a car in my house."

"...I'm so sorry sir, to trouble you..."

After almost running over the blind man on the road, Gan Guoyang confirmed that the man was not harmed, and asked him where he lived and some personal information, but all he got was "don't know" and "unclear". answer.

Gan Guoyang thought that he should not be allowed to stay on the side of the road and be guarded. If he was sent to the police station, Gan Guoyang himself would be in trouble, because he is a licensed driver, and licensed driving is a relatively serious illegal act in the United States.

"My brain must be broken. How could I think of driving by myself?" Gan Guoyang recalled his decision to drive back and felt that he was so stupid, so he had to take the blind man with him and drive the car all the way back.

Fortunately, Gan Guoyang is physically strong, and the problem with a car is really not a big deal, so he just took it as an exercise.

"Your strength is really great, Mr. Gan, you can move this car so easily." The blind white man put his hands on the frame of the car and walked forward with the car.

"That's right, I'm a basketball player and a center forward. I must have enough strength." Gan Guoyang opened the door of the driver's cab, holding the steering wheel with one hand and holding the door with the other, pushing forward.

"I know, Gan, the first Chinese center in nb, he had a chance to become a great center in nb..." The blind man seemed to feel that he had said something wrong, and immediately stopped talking.

But Gan Guoyang heard a different taste in his words, "I had a chance to become", that is to say, Gan Guoyang did not become a great center in the end?

"You know me?" Gan Guoyang asked casually after hearing his words.

A thought suddenly popped up in Gan Guoyang's mind, could it be that this guy also traveled from a later life?

But it's not right again, Gan Guoyang himself also traveled from the later life, if this blind man also traveled from the later life, then he shouldn't know that there is such a person as Gan?

After Gan Guoyang thought about it carefully, he understood that if there were people who traveled from later generations, they should be able to find out immediately that he, Gan Guoyang, also traveled from later generations, because there was no such person as Gan Guoyang in nb in history.

"Of course I know, you are now a big star in NB, and the pride of the Chinese... Are we there yet? Are there many cars on the road?" The blind man changed the subject. [

"It's almost here. It's already at my door. It's very late now, and there are no cars."

"Okay...then it should be all right...it's all right..." The blind man kept talking, and he didn't know what he was muttering.

After arriving home, Gan Guoyang put the car in the yard, and then checked the body, only to find that the car on the other side had a big hole, which seemed to be pierced by a tree trunk.

"It's such a big hole...a tree trunk pierced the glass...fortunately..." Gan Guoyang broke out in cold sweat when he saw the hole. , then this tree trunk piercing his head is not a problem at all!

It can only be said that fortunately the branch was not long enough, so it didn't reach his head, otherwise... the consequences would be unimaginable.

In addition, there are some damages on the outside of the car body, but it is not very serious, and there should be no problem after going to the auto repair shop for repairs.

After that, Gan Guoyang invited the blind man to his home. He always felt that the blind man seemed to know something. Anyway, this guy is not an ordinary person.

After entering the house, Gan Guoyang took a look at the clothes the blind man was wearing. They were old-fashioned clothes from the 80s, not clothes from later generations.

It's just that his clothes seemed to be worn in spring, not now. Gan Guoyang hurried inside and got a big cotton jacket for him, and put it on the blind man. He was already very cold.

After drinking some hot tea, Gan Guoyang was going to ask him a few more questions, and then he found a guest room for him to sleep in, and sent him to the police station the next day for the police to help solve the matter.

Tomorrow he will practice and play games at the same time.

"Mr. Gan, I want to ask you a question." The blind man put down his glass and said suddenly.

"Speak, Mr. Chris." The blind man's name is Doug Chris, a very common American name.

"Would you believe me if, I mean if, I said I was from Miami?" Chris asked.

"Of course I believe, Miami, I know, Florida, a beautiful place."

"No, you didn't get my point, I mean I was in Miami this afternoon, and I was in Portland tonight, and then, and... do you understand?"

After saying this, Gan Guoyang looked at the blind man, his head was a little dazed, he was thinking, is there something wrong with the blind man's brain?I was still in Miami in the afternoon, and suddenly appeared in Portland at night, and fell in the middle of the road.

Gan Guoyang just wanted to think that he was a psychopath, but he has always been more miraculous when he came by himself. One moment he was still in 2011, and the next moment he woke up, it was 1981. Who can he ask for reasoning?

So for this guy who claimed to be teleporting, Gan Guoyang felt that maybe it was true.

And look at the clothes this guy is wearing, they really came from the south, otherwise he would have frozen to death wearing this in Portland.

"I believe in you, I believe in you." Gan Guoyang replied.

"Okay, Mr. Gan, I don't know if you are comforting me, but I still want to ask you, if I say that I come from the future, would you believe me?"

As soon as these words came out, Gan Guoyang almost spit out all the tea in his mouth. Could it be that this guy is really a time traveler?

Gan Guoyang thought about it again. If he is a time traveler, it can only explain one problem, that is, like Gan Guoyang, he is a soul time traveler.

Dang Lei in the later generations transmigrated to Gan Guoyang and changed into a new body, but this guy named Doug Chris was more unlucky and transmigrated into the body of a blind man.

Gan Guoyang thought over and over again, he suddenly had a strong urge, it was a kind of urge from the heart, similar to the urge to survive, telling him that he should trust this blind man.

"I...I believe in you because...because I also traveled from a later life."

After Gan Guoyang finished saying this, he stared at the blind man. He had figured it out a bit. If the blind man had traveled through later generations, then he must know that there was no such person as Gan Guoyang in the history of nb, so the only one The only explanation for this is that Gan Guoyang also traveled through time.

It's just that Gan Guoyang didn't expect that the expression on the blind man's face was not "as I expected", but slightly surprised.

This shows that Gan Guoyang's choice to believe in the first half of the sentence made the blind man predict it, and the second half of the sentence was indeed something that the blind man could not fully think of.

"No wonder, no wonder... Mr. Gan, your luck is really good, really good." The blind man continued to mutter.

Gan Guoyang seemed a little impatient. Now that everyone has spoken out, don't hide it anymore. Anyway, there is no third person here. This is purely a conversation between travelers.

For so many years after Gan Guoyang came to this time and space, he was not troubled by his identity as a time traveler all the time, and no one could explain it clearly.

Now he finally has the opportunity to let go of the secret in his chest, whether it is true or not, he can't care so much anymore, anyway, since the decision to drive back today, Gan Guoyang feels that everything is destined.

"I come from 2011. I was originally a college student in China. I had a congenital heart disease. I ran to play basketball after being impulsive again. As a result, I had a heart attack and passed out. When I woke up, I found myself lying on the floor. On the bed of a hotel, and my body became another person. Then I found out that I came to Shanghai in 1981. Then I came to the United States with my father, and then I fell in love with basketball and started to learn Various basketball skills, and finally entered the Palo Alto High School basketball team, entered Gonzaga University in college, and won the n championship. Later, I participated in the nb draft and entered the Portland Trail Blazers. Up to now." Gan Guoyang told his experience in recent years in a few words, and he found that his experience was almost completely inseparable from basketball.

After saying all this, Gan Guoyang looked at the blind man quietly, not knowing what the blind man would say, or that the blind man was a liar at all, just kidding himself.

"I'm from 2013," the blind man finally spoke, and Gan Guoyang's spirit was shocked by his first sentence. This guy came later than himself.

"My original name is Vion Mipo. I am Italian. I used to work in a computer company. I am a basketball fan and a fan of the San Antonio Spurs. In the 2013 finals, the San Antonio Spurs played against the Miami Heat. .”

When he said this, Gan Guoyang didn't know the truth. When Gan Guoyang crossed, the Heat had just lost the 2011 finals. Yes, because in the current league, there is no Miami Heat yet!

"That's right, the Miami Heat, they lost the Finals against the Mavericks in 2011!" Gan Guoyang said excitedly.

"Yes, they lost the finals that year, and this may be the most 'anticipated' loss in the finals." The blind man said with a smile, obviously he also heard that Gan Guoyang really traveled from later generations .

"The Spurs drew 2:2 with Miami in the first four games. In the Tianwangshan battle, the Spurs defeated the Heat at home, and they were only one step away from the championship." The blind man's words surprised Gan Guoyang. He did not expect that, In 2013, the classic car of the Spurs could still go so fast.

"But in Game [-], seconds from the end of the game, the Spurs had a three-point lead, and ... a three-pointer by Ray Allen, a magic three-pointer, tied the game and sent the game into overtime. Game. In the end, the Spurs lost the game and lost the crucial sixth game."

"What about the seventh game? How about the seventh game?" Gan Guoyang suddenly began to care about the finals 30 years later.

"Seventh game? I don't know, because after the sixth game, I was very sad, so I drank a lot of alcohol, and I was in a daze. I remember walking on the street and seemed to be hit by a car. , and then upon waking up..."

"Then when you woke up, you found that you were lying in the middle of the road, but you couldn't see anything, and you even heard my voice." Gan Guoyang seemed to have understood what was going on.

"No, no, it's not like this, it's not like this." The blind man denied Gan Guoyang's statement.

"Like I said, I'm from Miami. On the day of the game, I didn't go to Miami to watch the game. My home is in San Antonio. I woke up and found myself lying on the bed in an apartment, my The body also became another person. I accepted his memory and knew that this guy was a small employee of a telecommunications company in Miami. I don’t know what you thought after crossing, anyway, my thoughts at the time were very complicated. Fear, excitement, disbelief, you know, when I turned on that old TV in his room, it was on the news from 1978!"

After saying this, Gan Guoyang realized that this Doug Chris actually traveled to 1977, a year earlier than him.

If so, why is Chris blind?

"Mr. Chris, when you crossed over, you were not blind, right?" Gan Guoyang asked.

"Hahaha, of course I'm not blind, otherwise how would I see the news on TV. You know, anyone who travels over has a heart to change history. And it is this heart that killed me." Chris continued.

Gan Guoyang thought of those people who traveled to the Qing Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, and the Republic of China in later generations, and then changed the world. He thought that anyone who can experience time travel would probably want to change history—except Gan Guoyang himself.

"You know, I was a technician in a computer company in my later life, and in 1978, there was not even a personal computer. In my later life, it is the era of computer technology and the Internet. If I can develop and utilize this technology early , then in the future, isn't it under my control?" Chris thought about all this, and it was also imagined by many people who traveled through YY, using technology to change the world.

"However, later I found that, first of all, it is too difficult for a person to use some knowledge of later generations to develop a technology. Moreover, whenever I make a breakthrough, there are always some inexplicable things that hinder me. I, such as a fire in an apartment, such as a traffic jam on the road, and finally, when I was working on an integrated circuit, the short circuit of the wire finally caused the device to explode, and my eyes were blinded.”

What Chris said in Gan Guoyang's spine was horrified, and the hairs on his back stood on end. Could it be said that changing history will result in retribution?Then he should have changed a lot of history. Although he only changed the history of basketball, everything in the world is affected by the whole body.

"Before I knew you, I didn't know what was going on with me, but today, I may understand a little bit." Chris continued.

"Mr. Gan, do you know the history of 80snb?" Chris asked suddenly.

Gan Guoyang was taken aback when he heard this. He really didn't know much about the history of 80snb. He only knew the familiar things like the black and white duo and the golden generation. He didn't know the specific details.

"I don't know. Although I am a basketball fan in later generations, I am not an expert in basketball history." Gan Guoyang shook his head and said.

"Hehe, Mr. Gan, let me tell you, in 1984, a Chinese player named Sunny-gump led Gonzaga University to win the n championship, and then in the 1984 draft, he was selected by Portland The Trail Blazers were selected and played well in the league. They firmly occupied the first place in the rebounding list in the middle of the rookie season. Then they were elected as the NB West All-Star backup center with a high number of votes. But... before the All-Star Game On February 1985, 2, the future star of hope, the only Chinese player in the league, was driving home because of a late-night license. On the way, the car rolled over and was smashed by a tree trunk on the side of the road. His head was pierced, and he died after being rescued... His death brought a huge blow to the Portland Trail Blazers, but such a hopeful star fell on the road to superstardom, when it just started..."

"..."

When Gan Guoyang listened to Chris's words and fully reacted, his clothes were soaked in cold sweat... and he had already turned on the heater and drank hot tea indoors.

"That is to say...that is to say...tonight, I was supposed to die?" Gan Guoyang was already at a loss.

"That's right, Mr. Gan, if there are no accidents, maybe I should die on that road... Do you understand now?"

Everything began to develop in a direction beyond Gan Guoyang's imagination.

"I just want to, well, play basketball..."
