Gan Guoyang’s heartbeat and twists and turns in September were basically dedicated to the first day of school. After experiencing peeping in the dormitory and fighting on the court, his college life began to become calm.

At that time, when applying for university, Qian Huicao handled all the formalities, even Gan Guoyang's major selection was done by Qian Hui.

According to Qian Hui's arrangement, Gan Guoyang is to let Gan Guoyang follow the path of law, so that he can continue to use the resources developed by Qian Hui in the future.

But in the United States, there is no law major for undergraduates.Only after obtaining a bachelor's degree and reaching the postgraduate stage, can one choose a law major for research.

So at the undergraduate level, Qian Hui hoped that Gan Guoyang would become a philosophy student.

Philosophy, philosophy... When Gan Guoyang learned that he was going to become a philosophy student, he was really full of black lines. He thought that his main purpose of coming to UCLA was to play basketball, but he didn't expect to study philosophy!

However, Gan Guoyang heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that American universities can only choose their majors in their junior year, and that their freshmen and sophomores mainly focus on general education.

In this way, Gan Guoyang officially started his study life at UCLA.

As a liberal arts student, Gan Guoyang must select several courses in the four fields of humanities, natural sciences, social sciences, and art, and earn a certain amount of credits.

Different schools have different requirements for the proportion of students taking courses. As a comprehensive university, UCLA has relatively balanced requirements for the proportion of students in all aspects.

Gan Guoyang thought that he would become a student of philosophy at any rate in the future, so he chose "empirical philosophy" as an introductory course in humanities, mathematics as a tool course in natural sciences, and a course in social sciences. Then I chose the old line of my later university - sociology.

It's just that Gan Guoyang has some headaches in art. As a person without much artistic talent, he doesn't know how to choose courses.

Although he really wanted to choose music, but when he thought of his tone-deaf voice, he still gave up the idea.

In the end, he chose a class that was still very unpopular at the time - yoga.

After a week of classes, Gan Guoyang suddenly felt that American universities are really not easy to get into.

Originally in Palo Alto High School, with his knowledge level of later generations, plus the simple courses of high school, Gan Guoyang started the class very relaxed and happy, and within two semesters, he took all the basic credits that he needed to take in the previous three years. I made up for it.

This is really different from the difficulty of high school courses in China.

But when he got to university, it was completely reversed. The intensity of the courses was beyond Gan Guoyang's imagination. In addition, there were no powerpoints or electronic teaching systems at that time, and they were all handwritten notes. Gan Guoyang, who was 6 feet 10, was exhausted to death.

Especially for the subject of mathematics, Gan Guoyang completely regretted it after the first class, because it was too difficult to understand.

After a year of mathematics study in high school, the most difficult problem was to solve the quadratic equation. Gan Guoyang was full of confidence in his mathematics level, but he was dumbfounded when he came to the university mathematics class.

Not to mention the depth of the content in an instant, the most important thing is that the mathematics class has very high requirements for mathematical methods and ideas, but the basic calculation skills that Gan Guoyang is good at are useless.

This time, Gan Guoyang had to pluck all the hair on his head to barely keep up with the teacher's train of thought.

When the day's class is over, Gan Guoyang has to go to the gymnasium for training, but at this time Gan Guoyang has been tortured to death by the culture class.

Logically speaking, as a sports student, Gan Guoyang aims at the NBA, so it's fine to mess around with culture classes.

But now Gan Guoyang does not have absolute confidence in entering the NBA, because too many geniuses have fallen; at the same time, the NBA salary in the 80s is not high enough to play for a year and basically half a lifetime without worrying about it.

The days of training in the team were also uncomfortable. Ever since Gan Guoyang had a fight with Gray that day, Coach Farmer had completely blacklisted Gan Guoyang.

Although he was still allowed to participate in the team's basic training, Gan Guoyang stood aside when it came to five-on-five confrontations or tactical moves.

In contrast, Gray, who took the lead, returned to the match after being suspended for two days.

For this unfair treatment, Gan Guoyang naturally protested loudly, but the more he protested, the more Farmar felt that the yellow boy was against him, and the less he was allowed to participate in the confrontation training.

This time, Gan Guoyang received the same treatment as the high school team again, and he was not allowed to play in the match.

It's a pity that the reason why the coach did this is completely different, and Gan Guoyang's feelings are naturally completely different.

It is not a solution to be unable to participate in joint training all the time. If you do not experience the confrontation in college competitions, those technical movements that are constantly practiced will not have the opportunity to display and verify them.

Gan Guoyang thought that a man could bend and stretch, and that it was not an option to be so rigid with Farmer, so he took the initiative to ask Farmer to bow his head and admit his mistake.

As a result, Farmar not only didn't appreciate it, but also ridiculed Gan Guoyang. In addition, Gan Guoyang also saw a few guys from the first team looking at him and sneering at him. He knew that these guys must be making trouble behind his back.

This time, Gan Guoyang is also tempered, and we will not practice if he is not allowed to practice.

As long as the basic physical training and technical training are completed, Gan Guoyang will take the ball to the side by himself and start practicing yoga with the ball.

Gan Guoyang thinks that yoga is quite interesting, and it is very helpful for the flexibility of the body.

And with excellent flexibility, it has an unexpected good effect on the display of basketball technical movements.

In later generations, fans often criticize some players for being stiff when doing movements, which is neither good-looking nor easy to use. Now Gan Guoyang needs to use yoga exercises to avoid stiffness in movements.

Farmar looked at Gan Guoyang doing some weird moves, and was even more angry. His prejudice against Gan Guoyang was getting bigger and bigger, and he felt more and more that this yellow man was going to fight against him, which made him even more angry. I don't want to talk to him.

Regarding this, Gan Guoyang was happy and leisurely, anyway, he didn't bother to look at Mar's elongated stinky face.

It can be said that Gan Guoyang's college life was not very smooth, or simply not smooth everywhere.

The only thing that makes Gan Guoyang feel good is that he is in Los Angeles, and finally he can often date Wang Fuxi.

On the first weekend, the two held hands and went to a movie theater in Los Angeles to watch a movie, but the movie they chose turned out to be a horror movie, "Black Friday 1982" released in 3...

When Gan Guoyang originally planned to watch a horror movie, Wang Fuxi could hide in his arms when he was afraid, so that he would have the opportunity to enjoy the feeling of warmth and fragrance.

It's a pity that Wang Fuxi is completely immune to horror movies, his eyes are fixed on the screen, and he doesn't feel scared at all.

On the other hand, Gan Guoyang didn't like watching horror movies very much, and he didn't dare to watch some places.

In the end, Gan Guoyang still took advantage, and the 6-foot-10 man slid into Wang Fuxi's arms, pretending not to look, and to feel the plump and soft touch.

This week, on the second weekend of UCLA, Wang Fuxi went to UCLA to see Gan Guoyang.

"Forrest Gump, what do you think if I can't get into UCLA?" Wang Fuxi and Gan Guoyang were sitting on the lawn of the campus at this time, enjoying the already scarce sunshine in mid-September in California like other couples.

"Then I won't go to it. Anyway, there are other universities in Los Angeles. As long as we are in Los Angeles, we can often be together." Gan Guoyang replied.

"But... I still want to go to the same school as A-Gump, otherwise my heart will always be empty..." Wang Fuxi said with some embarrassment.

After hearing Wang Fuxi's words, Gan Guoyang's heart softened.

In fact, until now, Gan Guoyang didn't know what he liked about Wang Fuxi.is it beautiful?There are some, but not all.Gentle and sensible?I really didn't notice this, but after getting in touch with her a lot, I found out that this girl with a white and warm appearance is actually a little pepper.

Maybe it's just pure heartbeat, fascinated by her bowing style, and heartbeat by her occasional blush.

"What's the matter, Forrest Gump?" Wang Fuxi looked up at Gan Guoyang who was leaning against the tree. At this time, she was still wearing that peaked cap, as if she would not take it off anywhere.

"It's nothing. I believe that the fate between us cannot be blocked by other things." Gan Guoyang thought that he traveled 30 years to the United States in the 80s to meet Wang Fuxi. If this is not fate, what is it?

"Well, I believe it too. Hey, Forrest Gump, do you want to train today?" Wang Fuxi suddenly asked about Gan Guoyang's training.

"Yeah, I'm going to gather at the gymnasium in an hour. Oh, this damn coach hasn't let me participate in confrontation training. What can I do?" Gan Guoyang thought of Farmer's octopus Brother's face became angry, and at the same time he became worried.

"That coach is so hateful? You are so good, what is UCLA playing without you! They haven't won the championship for many years, and I have watched UCLA games before. It's a pity that UCLA is no longer good at that time." As a resident who has lived for six years, it is normal to watch UCLA games.

"Well, that coach just doesn't want to see me, but fortunately he still guides me in some basic things, but he hasn't completely avenged himself."

Although Farmar doesn't like Gan Guoyang very much, he still doesn't want to completely abolish Gan Guoyang. Basically, he will talk to Gan Guoyang about everything that should be taught and said.

And the team not only has a head coach, but also a dedicated assistant coach, shooting coach and physical coach.

Since Gan Guoyang didn't like to see Maer's face, and Farmar didn't want to see Gan Guoyang, he simply asked other coaches for guidance.

The two chatted on the grass for a long time, and finally it was time for training. Wang Fuxi was going home too. Gan Guoyang sent Wang Fuxi to the bus. Seeing her tearful eyes, his mood suddenly changed. Much worse.

What's more, Gan Guoyang felt that he hated training for the first time since he was going to the gymnasium to train again, which he never thought about before.

Back in Palo Alto, he wanted to move his bed to the gym, practice extra every day after practice, and be the last to leave.

Now, he is basically stepping on the point to train, stepping on the point to leave the gym, and he doesn't want to stay in it for a second.

However, when he arrived at the gymnasium that looked like a memorial hall, he found that the surroundings of the gymnasium suddenly became lively today.

Usually, except for the basketball team and some passing students, there are basically no people there, but now there are many people walking around outside, as if some important person has come.

When he approached the gymnasium, he found that the noise inside was several times higher than usual. Obviously, there were many spectators besides the players.

"Is there a game today?" Gan Guoyang wondered in his heart, if there is a game, it shouldn't be played in this training gym.

When he got to the entrance of the gymnasium, he found that there were reporters with cameras waiting there, and among the reporters he found a familiar face.

It was the reporter who rushed to interview Gan Guoyang in the Northern California semi-finals, and was blocked by Behrman. This reporter later wrote a report on Gan Guoyang in various ways. Although it did not cause any real impact, it was also disgusting. of.

"Oh, hello, isn't this our Mr. Gan? It's so... so exciting to meet you at UCLA." Gan Guoyang, as a man of yellow race, is really easy to recognize in the basketball circle , the reporter recognized him immediately, and went up to say hello to Gan Guoyang.

"Uh, hello... hello..." Gan Guoyang didn't know his name, but after looking at his face for a while, he recognized that annoying reporter, so he greeted him politely.

"My name is Seaman, Popper Seaman, and I am working in Los Angeles, mainly covering college basketball." The reporter named Seaman introduced himself.

"Uh, Mr. Seaman, what happened here today? Is President Reagan here?" Gan Guoyang asked jokingly.

"Haha, no, no, of course not. As a UCLA player, you don't know it? It's not too much to say that the president is here. He will come to UCLA for training every offseason." Seaman still kept it secret.

"Hmph, if you don't want to say it, I'll go in and see for myself. Anyway, I'm a member of the team, so I can go in." Gan Guoyang said and was about to go in.

"Oh, no, no, Mr. Gan, let me tell you. It's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar." Seaman pulled Gan Guoyang aside, and whispered, as if to say some serious secret.

But to Gan Guoyang's ears, this is really a big deal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is here?

In fact, there is nothing to make a fuss about, because during the offseason, nba clubs will not organize training.If the players want to maintain their form, they have to find their own way to train.

Generally speaking, some stars will organize a training camp by themselves to train and improve together; while some players like to go to the local university or alma mater to train with college students.

Two of the most famous of these are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Moses Malone.

Although the two are old enemies on the court, they have similar personalities, that is, they are both very lonely and silent, and they don't like to communicate with other people.

So Moses Malone will go to the University of Houston to practice during the offseason, where the future Rockets legendary center will be honed and tempered by Moses Malone.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar chose to return to his alma mater UCLA. In this very familiar place, he has maintained his good condition consistently for decades.

"Okay, I see. Goodbye, Mr. Seaman. I'm going to train."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Gan, this, this, I hope you can help me. You see, only a few reporters can go in to shoot interviews, and we can only stand outside and wait. If possible, can you help me collect some First-hand materials, such as the conversation with Mr. Kareem, or..." Sure enough, this Seaman came up to him because he wanted to ask Gan Guoyang.

"Okay, Mr. Seaman, I will try my best. But I can't guarantee whether Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will pay attention to me, a little yellow monkey. Goodbye and good luck."
