Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 2 Advanced School Team
Dream of becoming a star!
This requires not only technology, but more importantly, a strong body.

Not having height to play basketball is like dog meat not being allowed to be served at the table. In China and even in the United States, height is the first criterion for measuring the upper limit.

Chen Fang has talent!
Although he was only 1.77 meters tall in his second year of high school, Chen Fang knew that he would start his second growth spurt in his third year of high school. Normally, boys start growing at the age of 13 or 14, and stop growing at the age of 17 or 18.

But there are always some rare examples, such as Chen Fang. In his freshman year, he was already 1.9 meters tall, in his sophomore year he broke through the 2-meter mark, and finally stopped at 2.03 meters in his junior year.

His arms are astonishingly long at 217cm, a true long-armed monster. Chen Fang's static talent after his body was finalized is at the national level. Since he was a guard, his height is extremely terrifying in the baseball circle.

Many big bosses would make a deal on Chen Fang on the spot as soon as they saw him, without even having to go to the stadium to try him out.

This is also the reason why Chen Fang has the confidence to pursue his dream of becoming a football star.

After seeing the teacher off, the parents returned to the ward. Mother Ke Qing came to the bedside, and father Chen Yi stood at the foot of the bed. Both looked at their son with worry.

Although Chen Fang had spent the entire afternoon adjusting to the difficult emotions of seeing his parents again, when he saw the concern in his mother's eyes, he could no longer hold back his tears, and he threw himself into his mother's arms.

"Mom, I'm sorry, woooo..." Chen Fang burst into tears.

In his previous life, the whole world gave up on Chen Fang. No one would help a worthless person, with no friends or lover. Only his parents, who were hurt by him, still insisted on not giving up. In order to help her son, his mother borrowed everything she could. Her friends who had borrowed for decades avoided her. He was already gray-haired at the age of just over 50. Chen Fang felt too guilty about his mother.

Ke Qing just thought her son was scared because he was injured, so she quickly comforted him: "Fang Fang, don't be afraid, Mom is here."

"Mom, I will be a good person in the future and never make you angry again." Chen Fang choked.

"It's good that you're okay. It doesn't matter if you don't study well. Not everyone can study well. Your dad's grades are not good." Ke Qing misunderstood that the teacher had come, and his son was afraid of being scolded for studying, so he continued to comfort him.

"Hmph!" Chen Yi's face darkened when he heard that, but after being glared at by his wife, he calmed down again.

He took out a cigarette as usual and went out to find a place to smoke, but was suddenly stopped by Chen Fang.

"Dad, can you please stop smoking? Smoking causes cancer!"

On the day of the car accident, Chen Fang's mother sent a text message telling him something shocking: his father was diagnosed with lung cancer, but his father didn't want to put more pressure on his son and didn't let his mother tell him. But that day, his father fell ill and was hospitalized, and his mother couldn't control herself anymore and told Chen Fang.

Chen Fang collapsed on the spot, got drunk on the street, and got into a car accident.

"Dad, let's make a bet. If I get into a top university, you quit smoking." Chen Fang looked up and said to his father seriously.

Looking at their son's solemn face, the parents were a little dazed. Their first reaction was that his brain was really damaged.

I know my son well, the stubborn king. If it is his idea, he will continue even if he hits a wall.

For the sake of my son, why not quit smoking!

"It's a deal!" Father stretched out his big hand.

"It's impossible to catch up with him!" Chen Fang held his father's hand tightly.

The mother smiled as she watched the two men shake hands and agree to a deal.

The arrival of the attending doctor broke the peaceful atmosphere. The doctor first asked Chen Fang how he felt, checked the wound to see if there was still bleeding, and then reminded him: "Don't take it lightly as a caregiver these days. Concussion is not a trivial matter. If you vomit, feel dizzy, or hear auditory hallucinations, you must notify the doctor on duty immediately."

"Thank you, doctor. How many days will we need to stay in the hospital?" Ke Qing asked.

"For five days, the patient should pay attention to rest and not sleep lying flat on his back. He should sleep on his side and use a pillow to support his body to fix his posture." The doctor continued.

"Okay, thank you, doctor!"

As soon as the doctor left, the two began to discuss how to allocate care. Chen Fang lay down with peace of mind. He already had a rough plan for the future.

A university, a good university, can bring positive help to your future life. This is not a matter of academic qualifications.

It also includes connections, circles, ability training, and increased probability of opportunities. A good university means being one step ahead in wealth.

Since we have been reborn into the past, we must resolutely prevent all regrets from happening again.

Mom and Dad, your son wants to dedicate all the beauty in this world to you.

In the next few days, Chen Fang was in a resting state. On the last day after being discharged from the hospital, Wang Zhen came to the hospital during the lunch break.

"Chen Fang, I think Lin Xi is definitely interested in you. She has mentioned you every three sentences these days, and has been asking about your condition intentionally or unintentionally. Why not take advantage of your full sympathy points and give it a try?"

"Stop attracting hatred for me. People who like Lin Xi are lining up from the school toilets to the city hall square. I don't want to become the public enemy of the whole school."

"What's the point of talking about love? College love is so sweet, while high school love is only bitter." Chen Fang was quite emotional.

In his previous life, he was a love-brained person. From high school to college, including when he entered society, he neglected too much of his career for the sake of love.

Several of his romances ended in heartbreak, and Chen Fang didn't come to his senses until the very end when he was struggling to survive alone.

Love is actually a scam, a game in which you deceive yourself.

If you say you want to take it back, you can take it back. If you say you don’t love it, you don’t love it anymore. All the efforts you have made before are of no value or meaning.

What else can you get besides leaving behind a fragment of memory?
Therefore, dating without getting married is purely a mental game, which costs not only money but also precious time.

"What evil tricks are you using, Chen Fang? Don't try to trick me. I'm still looking forward to the arrival of love." Wang Zhen didn't believe it at all.

"Please don't mess with me. Please don't spread the topic about Lin Xi. I don't want to meddle in other people's business."

"That's pointless. Chen Fang, you're fearless, but have you forgotten the outrageous behavior you did at the end-of-term ceremony last semester?"

Chen Fang was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he remembered that when he was in high school, he once sang a song "Stealing Heart" in front of all the teachers and students in the school. Afterwards, he called himself Wuxin Master. For a period of time, when walking on campus, Chen Fang was always pointed at.

"That was in the past. Now, I just want to study hard and get into college."

"University? Who doesn't have a university?" Wang Zhen laughed. Nowadays, if you are a high school student, you can go to a university, it just depends on the level of the university.

"Undergraduate degree, key undergraduate degree!"

"It's so funny. You only got 400 points. What are you expecting?"

"I'm serious. After this incident, I feel like I need to change the way I live." Chen Fang planned to use this incident as a cover to hide the differences in his personality.

Wang Zhen focused his eyes and saw that Chen Fang was very serious, so he followed up with the words: "Then you say, as a brother, I support you."

"I have already delayed for a year. Since my second year of high school, I have stopped thinking about other things besides studying and basketball. I hope to be admitted to a key university. I want to have a good future."

"It's a good thing I didn't give up basketball. I was scared by you!" Wang Zhen said exaggeratedly, holding his chest.

Seeing Wang Zhen's disbelief, Chen Fang laughed and said, "How could that be? We agreed to play basketball for the rest of our lives. Even if we get old and can't walk, we'll still play wheelchair basketball!"

"That's right, brother, basketball always comes first, right!" Wang Zhen stretched out his hand.

The two hands were clasped together.

"That's right, brother. Basketball always comes first!"

Wang Zhen smiled happily, and looking at the familiar smile, Chen Fang felt a strong impulse in his heart.

"Wang Zhen, let's make a bet."

"What bet?"

"I bet I can make the school team in a month."

"Puff!" Wang Zhen couldn't help but said, "Chen Fang, you are a substitute in the grade team, and you still want to join the school team? Although our Dongsheng is not ranked in the top five in NY City, we are also very strong. Yang Shan and Xue Chong are both very strong masters. Captain Yue Gang has very strict requirements for selecting the school team. You saw it at the beginning of the school year. What's the matter? Did you fall on your head and become more confident?"

One by one, very distant names came out of Wang Zhen's mouth, and their faces flashed through Chen Fang's mind.

In his previous life, Chen Fang had fought against all these seniors. Not only that, their positions were reversed at that time.

During college, Chen played in many competitions in NY City, including the agency autumn league, corporate spring league, and club summer league. He made a name for himself with his outstanding static talent and good personal skills.

He had fought with Yue Gang, Yang Shan, and Xue Chong, and was defeated by them all. They were not on the same level as him.

The captain of the school team, Yue Gang, also said that if he had known that you, Chen Fang, would be so successful in the future, he would have recruited you into the school team. The Dongsheng school team now at least has a star player that they can show off.

Twenty years later, the difference in their status in the basketball circle was even greater, because no matter what, Chen Fang was still considered a top amateur player in the country.

"Just tell me whether you want to gamble or not?" Chen Fang had a trick up his sleeve.

Wang Zhen raised his eyebrows: "What are you betting on? I'm not afraid of you!"

"I'll make the school team within a month, and if you study hard, we'll both get into an undergraduate university in the same city."

"Where?" The boy always went straight to the result and ignored the process.

"Shenzhen, Shenzhen University, Southern University of Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology branch, you can choose any one!"

Wang Zhen opened his mouth wide, and after a while he said, "Don't be ridiculous. Our scores are not high enough for such a good key university."

"Of course!" Chen Fang said firmly.

Wang Zhen is actually very smart, more clever than him. If he hadn't been led astray by him and played basketball every day, his grades would definitely not be bad.

"Why, don't you dare!"

"Bullshit, let's bet. No matter how good you are in the community, you can't get into the school team." Wang Zhen made a comment. He didn't even know his brothers' skills. Those who started to like basketball at the same time were all at the same level.

"But why Shenzhen?" Wang Zhen turned around and wondered.

"Shenzhen's future development will only get better. I believe it will play an important role in the world. We can get better jobs by studying in Shenzhen. We don't need to move to another city. As long as we don't mess around, Shenzhen will definitely have a place for us."

Wang Zhen blinked his eyes. He felt that Chen Fang was indeed a little different, with an indescribable flavor. If he had to put it simply, he spoke very logically and gave people a sense of adulthood.

"It's half past one. If you don't leave now, you'll be late." Chen Fang felt that Wang Zhen was looking at him strangely and felt a little guilty, so he changed the subject.

"Oh shit, seriously, I won't say any more. See you tomorrow!"

As soon as Wang Zhen left, the room returned to calm, and Chen Fang felt that he had made another step forward.

In his plan, Wang Zhen must definitely repay him. In this life, he wants to take Wang Zhen to fly to heights that have never been reached before.

As for whether he can join the school team in a month, Chen Fang is very confident.

Even if this body currently has no skills or stamina, the understanding of basketball does not require any adaptation, and it will be easy to join a school team.

But even if it is easy, you must take it seriously and never make the same mistakes you made in your previous life.

Arrogant, blindly confident, and a love of pre-consumption, always using money or things that have not yet reached the pocket to do things in the present, a typical bankrupt personality.

He is both inferior and arrogant, always looking down on others and overestimating himself. His words always speak louder than his actions and he takes things for granted.

Chen Fang summarized these shortcomings and problems when we were at our darkest moments, but it is too late now and it is difficult to turn things around.

But now, Chen Fang must not repeat the same mistake, he must live a good life.
