Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 94 The meaning of existence

When Chen Fang woke up, he found lunch on the dining table.

It was supposed to be lunch time after the game against Tsinghua High School, but Chen Fang suddenly felt very sleepy. Zhang Ruihua quickly called the team doctor at the base to check his blood pressure, and found out that it was a false alarm.

The team doctor’s advice was to take some sleep.

So Chen Fang went straight back to his room to rest. After taking a quick shower, he fell asleep.

When he woke up, he appeared in the scene of Kaiwen.

Because the curtains were closed, it was impossible to tell what time it was, so Chen Fang asked, "What time is it?"

"It's 6:30 in the afternoon. You slept so well that you even snore." Lu Yun said.

"I've got dinner back. Are you hungry?"

This is dinner, not lunch.

Chen Fang didn't feel hungry at first, but after Lu Yun's words, he felt extremely hungry. He struggled to get up and went to the bathroom.

"Let me brush my teeth first."

"Wow, so self-disciplined." Lu Yun couldn't help but admire Chen Fang's behavior. If it were him, he would just get up and eat without brushing anything.

Not long after, Chen Fang came out and was so excited when he opened the box: "So many dishes?"

"I took it. I know you have a big appetite. You will definitely eat more after this fight. This is a double portion."

"Okay, okay, you still understand me." Chen Fang started to chew on it without saying anything.

"You've become famous today." Lu Yun said casually.

"Well, how famous?" Chen Fang asked with an unclear smile.

"You know the stands are full of coaches, from high schools, colleges, clubs, and the sports bureau."

"so what."

"So you are now the number one future star in the north!" Lu Yun said in a bad tone. Seeing that Chen Fang didn't care, he couldn't help but said, "You scored 44 points today, and you chose not to score the last ball. Do you know how awesome that is?"

"Oh, later on, when I think about it, I feel really regretful. 44 is not auspicious." Chen Fang laughed.

"Your train of thought is so weird." Lu Yun was speechless: "The coach told you to have a good rest today and asked me to keep an eye on you."

"Wow, I got an extra bodyguard?"

"cut."

Chen Fang finished eating and felt very comfortable, so he lay back on the bed. Lu Yun was chatting with someone on his phone out of boredom, and he suddenly asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

"Where are you going?" Chen Fang asked.

"Recovery, don't you need it?"

"Oh, yes! I have to go." Chen Fang was reminded by Lu Yun, and he also reacted and said with a smile: "You are the kind of person who has to call me if you want to go out."

"Damn it, if I leave, the coach will definitely scold me when he comes. Do you think I like going out with you? Now that you are so famous, if I go with you, won't I become a follower?"

"Don't swear, let's go, I think a cup of hot coffee would be great right now."

"That's right." Lu Yun also became excited.

The two of them quietly sneaked out of the hotel and went out the back. This was the first time they entered the store, as they had been here twice.

It was already very cold in BJ in October, so we turned on the air conditioner in the store and it felt a lot warmer.

After Chen Fang sat down, he asked Lu Yun to order some coffee. Suddenly, the door opened and several people walked in, among them was a familiar figure.

Shan Caiyun.

It was obvious that Shan Caiyun also discovered Lu Yun.

She immediately looked around and saw Chen Fang.

Shan Caiyun touched the tall man next to her, the same person she met at the rehabilitation center.

The man also saw Chen Fang and walked straight over.

"Hello, I'm Yu Yue from BJ No. 4 Middle School."

"Hello, I'm Chen Fang from the mountain."

Since you are so polite, you should also be polite.

Yu Yue smiled and said, "You don't need to introduce yourself. I came here to say hello to thank you for defeating Tsinghua High School." Then he turned around and said, "Caiyun, you pay for the two of them."

Turning back, he said, "It's just a small token of my respect."

"We can buy it ourselves, no need." Lu Yun walked over with an unhappy look on his face.

"What's your attitude? Haven't you beaten me enough?" Shan Caiyun next to him showed a fierce expression, with her little fangs exposed. She glared with her almond-shaped eyes, and with her carrot-shaped hairstyle, she really looked like a tiger.

Lu Yun subconsciously took a step back and almost leaned against the wall.

"Caiyun." Yu Yue shouted, and he stood up: "If there is a chance, I hope we can fight."

"Okay." Chen Fang nodded.

A group of people from No. 4 Middle School walked out, and one of them said, "Captain, I know who he is!"

"No, everyone knows it! Wang Tong, are you crazy?" Yu Yue asked curiously.

"No, he is the one on Hupu's most popular post recently." Wang Tong was very excited.

"What, it's him!" Yu Yue was also surprised.

"How did you judge that?" Everyone became curious. The whole team had seen that post and it felt like magic. The technique was amazing, and he didn't look very old. Now that they were reminded of this, the more they thought about it, the more they thought about it.

"It's him. The hoodie he wore that day is this one." Wang Tong said as he took out his cell phone and found the video.

Needless to say, everyone took out their mobile phones. This video is very popular now and is available on many video websites.

"Hey, it really is. I zoomed in and looked at it like this. Although the resolution is a little blurry, it still matches."

Yu Yue sighed: "No wonder he's so fierce, this explains it."

"That waist-spinning step-back is amazing. I still haven't mastered it yet."

"In the video, he made three-pointers in a row, and many people said it was fake, but how many three-pointers did he shoot today? What was his hit rate? Don't you know?"

"How many?"

"I didn't count, but I never failed, haha." Wang Tong scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Fuck!" Everyone raised their middle fingers and looked down on him.

After this revelation, Yu Yue really wanted to go back and talk to Chen Fang again, as his teammates were still talking about it.

"I've decided. I'm going to go to the scene to record the video tomorrow. I'm going to record every game of Chen Fang. I want to take advantage of the popularity." Wang Tong said excitedly.

"Catch the heat?"

"Just think about it, this post is very popular now, and many people think Chen Fang is very cool. Because he wears a hoodie, he has a nickname called Hoodie Brother."

"This nickname is not okay. I must give Chen Wangzheng some reputation." Wang Tong was very serious.

"King Chen?" Yu Yue was surprised again.

"Yes, his nickname in Shandong is Chen Wang. I went to talk to one of their players today, and he said that."

"Wang? So domineering! Our Captain Yu doesn't even say that about himself." Someone felt uncomfortable.

"Hey, hey, stop pulling me apart. I can't beat Wang Tianjie. Chen Fang can take on three people alone. There's no comparison." Yu Yue quickly stopped him.

"Hey, where's Caiyun?" Everyone was attracted by this matter just now, and only now they realized that Caiyun was missing.

"Maybe he went to buy something. Let's go back to the room first. The coach will come to check on us soon." Yu Yue was not worried. This place was half of Caiyun's home. She was born here.

In the coffee shop, Chen Fang was chatting with Lu Yun. Unexpectedly, Shan Caiyun appeared again. She walked straight to their seats and sat down opposite Chen Fang, next to Lu Yun.

"Hello, King Chen." The moment he opened his mouth, Chen Fang was stunned.

"Who told him the nickname?" Chen Fang immediately suspected Lu Yunlai.

Lu Yun quickly denied: "I really didn't say that."

"Oh, don't worry about it. Handsome guy, are you interested in coming to our No. 4 Middle School?" Shan Caiyun showed what she thought was the cutest smile, and her two little canine teeth were revealed again.

Was this person sent by his bear dad?
Chen Fang had a big question mark.

Seeing that Chen Fang didn't respond, Shan Caiyun made up her mind, lifted her hair and tucked it behind her ears, and acted in what she thought was the most charming manner: "If you come over, I can consider letting you be my boyfriend!"

"Puff!" Chen Fang and Lu Yun both spat out their coffee.

There was no waste at all, all of it was sprayed on the other person's face.

"Fuck you, why are you so excited?" Chen Fang cursed while wiping his face.

"Aren't you excited too?" Lu Yun wiped his face, then turned sideways, posed in his most handsome pose, and asked, "If you consider me, this is actually the correct way to recruit me."

"Just you?" Shan Caiyun looked disgusted.

"How many points did you get today?" she asked.

Lu Yun's expression froze, and he stood up: "No more chatting, let's go."

Chen Fang wished so much, but he would never find a woman who could knock him out at any time. It was too scary, and it was frightening just to think about it.

The two of them ran away, leaving the girl stunned.

Gritting her teeth, she asked: "Am I ugly?" Shan Caiyun was so angry that she pounded the table, scaring the waiter so much that he didn't dare to come near.

On the way, Chen Fang was very sure: "She must have inherited her father's genes. My God, she doesn't think before she speaks..."

"Hey, hey, don't talk about my father-in-law like that." Lu Yun was serious.

Chen Fang spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, then pointed to a dark corner: "Go squat over there, I'll pee and wake you up."

"Ha, your urine is yellow, I'm afraid of infection and acne."

"Haha, if you keep eating everything like this, you might die young."

The two of them bickered as they entered the rehabilitation center. When they got there, Chen Fang said as a matter of course, "Give me two."

Lu Yun swiped his UnionPay card angrily, saying, "When you drink the water, don't forget the well digger. Please have some conscience."

"I certainly have a conscience, but not much for you."

This time, they did not choose the hall, but went to a small box. Maybe Chen Fang thought he would not run into anyone again, so he wanted to avoid trouble.

After recovering, the two men felt refreshed and walked as if they were floating. They walked towards the hotel, but met the head coach who had just returned from a social event at the door.

"Where have you been?" Zhang Ruihua's eyes suddenly became grim.

"I went to the rehabilitation center to clear the fascia." Chen Fang answered frankly.

"He just went to bed and finished his meal, so I went with him." Lu Yun continued to explain.

"You go back, Chen Fang stays."

Lu Yun left quickly without any sense of loyalty at all.

"Let's chat here." Zhang Ruihua pointed to the sofa in the hall.

"There's good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"

"Let's start with the bad ones." Chen Fang said.

"You can't play in the next game." Zhang Ruihua's words shocked himself.

"Why?" Chen Fang asked.

"There will be a U16 Southern League soon. We are going there. The Future Stars here are all U18s. If you are not included, there is no point in training."

"In addition, the four members of the team, including Guo Tianzhen, have also received notice from the club for training and will leave tomorrow."

"So after considering the situation, we decided not to fight. We will return to Shandong tomorrow."

"Your significance has been demonstrated. Master Fan has clearly asked for you. You may be called up to the national youth team at any time. This is good news."

"U18?" Chen Fang wanted to confirm.

"Yes, you will wear the national team uniform at the U19 World Championship next year!"

My heart was suddenly filled with huge surprise. This dream actually came true. Just think about it, it was only less than two months.

This is a dream. I rub my face, trying to wake myself up.

My heart was pounding and I felt very hot.

It was rare to see Chen Fang lose his composure. This precocious boy finally revealed his flaws.

"I also understand your characteristics and weaknesses through these days of competition." Zhang Ruihua said in a serious tone: "Do you know your weaknesses?"

Chen Fang also calmed down and lowered his head when he heard it: "Physical fitness."

"Yes, your first goal when you return to the Basketball Management Center this time is to improve your physical fitness."

"Your bone age is 195. How do you feel these days?" Zhang Ruihua asked.

"My hands and feet become numb after exercising for a long time, just like being electrocuted." Chen Fang explained honestly.

Zhang Ruihua nodded: "It's my problem."

"You are in a period of rapid growth. You cannot compete at this stage. I went to see someone from the Beijing Sport University Research Institute today. Your sleepiness after exercise is a typical sign of physical deficiency. If you are in a growth period, it means that your body's nutrition is unbalanced. If this continues, your growth will be forced to stop."

Chen Fang was startled and couldn't help but panic.

Seeing Chen Fang panic, Zhang Ruihua said, "So I have discussed with Shaohong that you can't continue the competition. From now until next summer, you can't touch the competition."

"Your training plan will be more focused on physical fitness. The center is already looking for a better physical trainer to help you."

"The National Youth Team will also provide the necessary support. In short, your task is to develop well before next summer."

Seeing that Chen Fang wanted to speak, Zhang Ruihua extended his hand and said, "Don't say useless things. When you go back, take a good rest."

"Ok."

"Also, is there anyone looking for you?"

"No."

"Okay, if it's the one from BJ No. 4 yesterday, you can consider it."

"Ah, why?" Chen Fang was puzzled.

"BJ No. 4 Middle School makes it easy to get into Tsinghua University or Peking University. With your current level, they will reserve a place for you. This will help you in every way." Zhang Ruihua explained: "No matter what results you achieve in the future, you can't escape the academic qualifications. Other things like fame and fortune are just passing clouds."

"I've checked. Your student status is still in Nanyang. You can transfer it during your senior year. It's just a matter of a word if you want to go to No. 4 Middle School."

Chen Fang shook his head: "Actually, Coach, I have something to discuss with you."

"you say!"

Chen Fang hesitated for a moment, but still felt that he would have to communicate sooner or later, so he said, "I still have a school competition to play."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Ruihua's eyes turned cold.

"That's right. I promised to play with my teammates on the school team." Chen Fang explained sincerely: "This is also what I emphasized again and again when I signed the contract, so my student status has always been in Dongsheng."

Zhang Ruihua laughed: "Chen Fang, you are still a child."

He sighed and said, "You just defeated Tsinghua High School, which had won eight consecutive championships, all by yourself. Do you know what this means?"

"But..." Chen Fang just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Zhang Ruihua.

"No buts. Let me give you young people an example that is easy to understand. You have killed the final boss in the game, so why do you want to go back to the Novice Village?"

"What's more, campus competitions are very exciting. If you get hurt, who will be responsible and who will pay for it?"

"Can Dongsheng afford it?"

Every word Zhang Ruihua said left Chen Fang speechless.

"If you can't win this game, I can't get through here. You think this is very loyal, but if you think about it from another perspective, is this really good for them?"

"Isn't it?" Chen Fang was puzzled.

"Of course not. Your level is completely beyond the campus level. You are now a member of the National Youth Team. If you go to play in the National High School, do you want to take Dongsheng and play against Tsinghua High School again in the National High School finals?"

"You carry everyone on your own. At what point is the end?"

"They will only become more and more inferior and more dependent on you. You think you have shown them the world, but are you sure that after seeing this world, they will move in a positive direction?"

"That's not the case, coach." Chen Fang shook his head.

"I will do what I promised." Chen Fang said very seriously.

Zhang Ruihua was a little angry, but when he thought that this was a mistake that young people would inevitably make, he softened his tone and said, "Let's not talk about it for now. After all, this is a matter for the future. Go back to your room early. We will be back to Shandong tomorrow."

"I understand." That's all Chen Fang could say.

Zhang Ruihua nodded, walked a few steps, and then stopped. He turned around and asked Chen Fang: "If you were not here this time, what do you think would happen now?"

Chen Fang was stunned, and then he heard the coach's voice: "Think about it carefully."

Back in the room, Lu Yun was lying on the bed. When he saw Chen Fang coming in, he casually said sarcastically, "Did the coach drag you to have a talk again?"

"Yeah." Chen Fang answered and lay down on his back with his legs spread out.

"You look so low spirited. How dare the old man scold you?"

"Lu Yun, let me ask you a question."

"Go ahead and tell me. I know you really need me as the political commissar." Lu Yun sat up and became more alert.

"Tell me, if I wasn't that strong, what would our situation be like now?"

"How much should the intensity be reduced?"

Chen Fang thought for a moment and said, "What would happen if Dongsheng didn't have me?"

"Of course I can't make it to the semi-finals. What are you thinking? Without you, Dongsheng is nothing." Lu Yun answered without hesitation.

"If I am at the same level as the others in the team, how far can Dongsheng go?" Chen Fang asked again.

"Well, then the top four will be no problem, but there is no chance of the championship or runner-up. You can't beat Taihu in the past, let alone the U16 team." Lu Yun thought for a while and replied.

"What if I hadn't come to the youth team, then what would happen to this cup match?"

Lu Yun smiled: "There are not so many ifs in this world. The meaning of your existence is to change everything. Without you, there would be no Dongsheng. Without you, Shanti would be just an ordinary team among the 32 teams."

"Didn't you see the standings? Nankai lost all four games. No. 10 Li Yuan even got depressed."

"If you and Li Yuan had switched teams, Nankai would definitely not be in such a bad situation. Did you notice that? This is your significance."

"But I want to know, if I don't exist, then what is the significance of Dongsheng, the mountain, and everyone else?" Chen Fang tried very hard to control his emotions. His mood was fluctuating now because he was reborn, and everything now was actually based on a false assumption.

What's more, he is about to become a member of the national youth team and represent China in international competitions.

So, when Zhang Ruihua said those words, Chen Fang's insistence on what he believed in was immediately shaken.

To put it simply, it is Dongsheng, and to put it broadly, it is the national team.

He was eager to know the meaning of his existence and what it had brought to everyone, whether it was good or bad.

Lu Yun was somewhat surprised by Chen Fang's excitement. He had to think about it for a while. After a moment's silence, he said, "Let me take myself as an example."

"If it weren't for you, I might still be in Nanyang High School, angry with Sun Yi. Don't be curious, I'll tell you one by one."

"That day when you beat Taihu, Wu Zhen decided to leave Nanyang and look for a place to improve himself, so he returned to Guangdong."

"Before he left, he asked me to come. He said Chen Fang would definitely go to the mountain. So I came. Don't ask why. I have my reasons."

“After I came here, I found that I was much happier, and then I realized that I still wanted to play basketball.”

"My family is very rich, more than you can imagine, but due to some circumstances, I lived alone very early. I was always bored until I fell in love with basketball, and then I found life quite interesting."

“I still enjoy it till now.”

"Chen Fang, if it weren't for you, I might still be unhappy now." Lu Yun said to Chen Fang seriously.

"This is the meaning of your existence. You have at least changed the trajectory of my life. Although the general direction of the future may not change, at least it has turned a corner."

"As for what you want to know, I don't think it's necessary to think so deeply."

"Without you, many people would feel very satisfied. Your presence makes them realize their own shortcomings. I believe that those students from Tsinghua High School today must think so."

"Of course, there are some people who will be beaten by you and doubt their lives and give up playing basketball. This is also normal."

"Don't worry about it, live for yourself, this is the most important thing."

Chen Fang took a deep breath and said to Lu Yun sincerely: "Thank you."

"Haha, what are you thanking me for? How about you help me deal with Shan Caiyun?" Lu Yun's expression suddenly changed, returning to his evil look.

"Fuck, you can't be serious for three minutes!" Chen Fang shook his head speechlessly.

"Go to sleep. We are going back to Shandong tomorrow."

"What, go back? What's going on?" Lu Yun was shocked.

"Anyway, just go back. I don't know the situation. Go to bed early. We may have to leave early tomorrow morning."

"This is outrageous. I've just started to come up with some ideas for my plan to pursue Caiyun." Lu Yun wailed.

So it was because of this. Chen Fang could only sigh.

It would be nice if I could be as open-minded as Lu Yun.

In Zhang Ruihua's room not far away, he was talking on the phone with Zhang Shaohong.

"He said his hands and feet were numb. What's going on?"

Zhang Shaohong, who was on the other side of the phone, turned on the loudspeaker so that Li Zheng next to him could hear clearly.

Li Zheng, who had presided over Chen Fang's consultation, answered without hesitation after listening: "If you treat a person as a battery-powered doll, this is insufficient power. The nerves begin to lose basic control of the muscles, and numbness occurs."

"Usually, this happens before a heart attack or a stroke occurs."

"Chen Fang must not be allowed to exceed the limit again. He cannot be treated as an ordinary person."

"His neurons are too sensitive. If they backfire, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Ruihua, Professor Li has explained the situation. He should come back tomorrow. He doesn't need to go to the U16 this time. His main task now is to recover, develop, and improve his physical fitness. Nothing else matters." Zhang Shaohong made the decision immediately.

"I've already thought about it. We'll be back tomorrow. Next, I'll lead the team to the south, and Chen Fang will be in your hands."

"Very good. The performance in this cup competition was very good. The center leaders are very satisfied. Next, U12 and U14 players will be transferred from various sports schools. Your task will be arduous."

"Haha, do you want to discover another Chen Fang? Impossible. This kind of talent may not appear for decades. Many friends today said that this is Shandong's second national-level talent after Xiaoyao Wang."

"Who said it wasn't? But I still have to keep a low profile, don't let the media know, keep my mouth shut, and don't accept any interviews."

"Well, that's natural."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back tomorrow and welcome you back."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Shaohong said to Professor Li Zheng: "He will be back tomorrow. I'll need you to do a further examination this time."

"Of course, I wrote Chen Fang as a scientific research paper." Li Zheng smiled.

Zhang Shaohong asked: "Is there a solution to the physical fitness issue? Or an idea?"

Li Zheng shook his head: "There is no solution to this."

"Is there no way at all?" Zhang Shaohong was unwilling to accept it.

"When he has fully grown, his physical fitness will be better and his playing time will increase, but it is impossible for him to play 30 or 40 minutes a game."

"Director Zhang, we have to believe in science. Everything has its pros and cons. You are also a sports person. Some athletes take banned drugs for the sake of performance, and the consequence is premature aging."

"Compared to physical fitness, Chen Fang's talent is unparalleled in the world. I think what we need to do is to try our best to provide a recovery team and a physical support team."

"Is that so?" Zhang Shaohong also came to his senses.

"Yes, any problem involving the brain nerves is a big problem. The team doctor needs to be equipped with a doctor who can perform EEG and ECG."

"Got it. I'll be ready."

"Thank you, Professor Li. It's getting late, so go to bed early."

After seeing Professor Li off, Zhang Shaohong began to conceive a team plan specifically for Chen Fang.

It seems that the money is definitely not enough. I have to call the two bosses over to collect money, he couldn't help but think.

A month ago, no one would believe it if I told them that one million dollars a year is not enough to train a basketball player. It is far from enough.

　Today is 2 in 7000, nearly words. It will be on the shelves tomorrow. It will cost you some money to read Chen Fang in the future. After all, the training fee is not enough, so we need everyone to raise funds! The next plot will turn to the label and relationship because Chen Fang has more time, and the benefits will start to be sent.
