The disastrous defeat against "cancer" at Binhai Stadium made Gan Guoyang, who returned to the Gan Family Restaurant, feel a little depressed. Although he has been determined to strengthen his strength and be an excellent inside player, how can he complete it?

It is not possible to play basketball on the court alone. What you accumulate in actual combat is experience, and basic skills and basic physical fitness require a lot of training.

It is impossible to find a personal coach. If you want to join the basketball team, you have to wait until the high school you transferred to start. The only thing you can do is to strengthen your body and make yourself stronger!

"Guoyang, what's the ball playing today? Why do you seem unhappy?" Gan Youwei, who had been upgraded to a master of the scoop, asked with concern before it was time for dinner.

"I lost in the game today. I lost so badly that I didn't even score the ball." Gan Guoyang sighed, and he felt very upset when he thought of this.

"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Losing badly means that you are not strong enough! But this way you have a goal and chase it." Gan Youwei is also a person who has experienced setbacks. After several changes, he came to the United States to start a new life. So he hopes that his son can turn his sadness into strength and continue to move forward when facing such small setbacks.

"Well, I know Dad." After coming to the past and the two lives of memories merged, Gan Guoyang found that his feelings for this father were getting deeper and deeper, which probably was to make up for the regret of having no father or mother in "later life".

"Let's have a meal first. I have to work after I finish it. It's almost time to go to dinner. The business has been very busy recently." The Ganjia Restaurant has a Ganyouwei Palm, and the dishes are richer and the taste is more authentic, so the business is naturally getting better and better.

Gan Guoyang's appetite was not particularly good. After taking a few bites of rice, he felt that he couldn't eat it anymore. After everyone finished eating, he cleaned up the dishes and washed them, and then went back to the room upstairs to rest.

Lying in bed, he still felt very depressed. Gan Guoyang was not a person who was easily defeated by setbacks. Whether it was the original Gan Guoyang or later Dang Lei, due to life, he had a tenacious personality and an optimistic spirit.

But in terms of winning or losing basketball, Gan Guoyang felt an extremely strong desire to win. He had not noticed it before this game, but he just felt that he liked basketball very much and liked winning.

But this game made Gan Guoyang feel so deeply disgusted by failure for the first time. He felt that this was a shame, and this shame deeply hurt his self-esteem and his pride.

He couldn't lie on the bed anymore and started doing push-ups in the room. The conditions here were limited, so he could only use some simple methods to pass the time.

After doing forty, he couldn't hold on anymore, so he lay down on the bed panting, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

"What should I do?" Gan Guoyang asked himself.

……………………

The next day, Gan Guoyang got up early and went downstairs to have breakfast, and then prepared to wait for Gan Guohui to come and play basketball together. Although he lost a bad day yesterday, he still had to play, otherwise there would be no progress.

However, Gan Guoyang's porridge was almost finished, but Gan Guohui still did not appear.

"Cousin, won't Guohui come today?" Gan Guoyang asked.

"Oh, Guohui is not here today. His mother asked him to attend community activities. I can't come to play basketball with you these days." Gan Bingguang replied.

In the United States, high school students have to participate in various community and social activities during the summer so that they can have enough chips when applying to various universities. Otherwise, they will not be able to apply to a good university by relying solely on the exam.

After the summer vacation, Gan Guohui is about to enter the 12th grade (high school third year) and will soon graduate from high school and enter university. Therefore, this internship is also very important, so I have to put the basketball on my own.

"Guoyang, today you can go to the downtown San Francisco. I have been here for so many days and I haven't come to the United States to have a good look." Gan Youtang suggested.

Gan Guoyang thought this suggestion was good. He had been struggling for a long time last night and had not made any achievements. It would be better to go out today to relax and the training can be solved slowly later.

After dinner, Gan Youwei gave his son fifty dollars and let him go out alone.

"If you can't find the road, remember to take a taxi! Don't spend the fifty dollars at once, leave some money for a ride!" Amid Gan Youwei's instructions, Gan Guoyang left Chinatown alone and walked on the streets of San Francisco.

Because of the short history of the United States, all cities have developed in the past hundred years, so they are well planned. Especially in San Francisco, the city is very neat and clean.

When Gan Guoyang walked on the streets of the United States in the 1980s, he felt like he was today's China. However, the transportation on the street was older and there were many trams. At that time, the cars in the United States were like matchboxes, unlike today's beautiful streamlined shapes.

But for Gan Guoyang, this level of prosperity could not intimidate him. He was at least a person who had been in a big city in the 21st century.

So, instead of looking left and right like a country bumpkin entering the city, he focused on his basketball.

When he came to San Francisco, Gan Guoyang wanted his father to buy a basketball for himself, and Gan Youwei quickly fulfilled his promise and bought an authentic Spalding basketball for Gan Guoyang.

He also brought the basketball on his way out, dribbling the ball while walking. No matter whether he crossed the road or went up the steps, he would never hold the basketball up with his hands. On a few occasions, he fell and rolled to the side. He ran to pick up the ball and was almost hit by a car, and was treated as a "**" by the driver.

However, there are still many people on the street. He cannot do all kinds of movements unscrupulously, and can only try his best to maintain stability. Sometimes when he encounters a trash can or a telephone pole, he treats them as defensive players and turns around after practicing. Although doing this always attracts strange eyes from passers-by, he thinks that this is a lunatic.

Slowly, he left the street and there were fewer cars and people on the road. He could finally run on the road with the ball.

San Francisco is a mountain city with many slopes, and some slopes are very steep. Gan Guoyang practices dribbling and sprinting when going uphill, and practices dribbling and changing direction when going downhill.

Sometimes, if the ball accidentally gets out of hand, it will roll all the way, causing Gan Guoyang to follow the ball behind. This will accelerate and slow down, and it will certainly be very tiring to go uphill and downhill.

But Gan Guoyang was happy because he found that through such training, his dribbling skills, which were not very skilled, began to improve gradually. He was gradually developing a sense of basketball, which is the so-called sense of ball.

If a person wants to control the ball in his hand, he should establish a special feeling with the ball so that he can be like an obedient puppy and tied to your hands.

In this way, Gan Guoyang set out from Chinatown, carried the ball all the way south, passed Union Square, passed Market Street, and arrived at the Market South District, and dribbled back and forth inside for a whole morning.

"Huh------I seem to be a little hungry." After running for a whole morning, Gan Guoyang immediately felt hungry and a gurgling sound came from his stomach.

At this time, he thought about finding a restaurant to fill his stomach. Because the Gan Family Restaurant must be very busy now, and going back will only cause trouble for the store, he decided to solve the lunch nearby.

He looked at the street signs and found that he had arrived at a place called Forsson Road.

"Where is this? Is there a restaurant here?" Gan Guoyang muttered in his heart as he walked, and always paid attention to the signs of the houses on the roadside to see if there are any signs with "restaurant" and "diningroom".

At this time, he saw a sign with Barbecue (barbecue).

"Barbecue?" When Gan Guoyang saw the barbecue, he couldn't help but remember the days when he had barbecue with his classmates at the entrance of the university. Moreover, after arriving in the United States, he ate Chinese food in the Gan Family Restaurant every day. Although it was exquisite and delicious, he sometimes felt that it was not very satisfying.

"It just so happens that I want to gain weight and grow muscles now. It's better to eat barbecue!" Gan Guoyang was still thinking about building muscles for himself. To grow muscles and train strength, three points rely on practice and seven points rely on eating. If you only eat or not practice, you feed pigs, and if you only practice or not eat, you are losing weight.

So, Gan Guoyang walked into the barbecue restaurant with a basketball.

"Hello! Are you having a meal? How many people are there?" The waiter in the restaurant asked enthusiastically when he saw someone coming in. The waiter was a black girl.

"Uh, yes, I'm the only one." Gan Guoyang looked at the restaurant. He was the first customer today. It was not yet time for dinner, so he came a little early.

"Okay, you can sit there casually, there is a menu on the table."

After Gan Guoyang sat down, he ordered a beef set meal and he wanted to have a good meal. In the United States in the 1980s, it was great to eat fifty dollars.

Because it came early, the meat was served quickly. The waiter asked if he needed to help him bake it. Gan Guoyang had to do it himself. He liked the dietary pleasure brought by doing it himself.

The meat is of good quality and freshness, and it is not as thin and small as the barbecue he ate in later generations. The beef here is thick and square, and it takes a little longer to bake, but it is particularly fragrant.

Just as Gan Guoyang was having a happy feast, the restaurant door opened again. Are there any customers coming again?

"Good noon boss, why are you here today? There are not many people in the restaurant yet." The waiter saw someone talking, but she shouted "Boss".

"Boss? Is the owner of the restaurant here?" Gan Guoyang heard the voice and swallowed the beef in his mouth, looking up to see the owner of this barbecue restaurant.

This didn't matter, and it scared Gan Guoyang.

He saw that standing at the door was a giant black tower! A real giant tower, compared to him, his long legs and George, who had "cancer", turned into little black beans.

He was dressed in an ordinary dress, with a plaid short-sleeved shirt on his upper body, an old-fashioned brown-yellow corduroy trousers on his lower body, and a pair of large black leather sandals on his feet.

There was a thick beard on his face, but his forehead and front top were bald and a little shining. His cheekbones were high, his nose was big and flat, and his eyebrows were very thick. His whole face felt serious, but he had a hint of kindness.

But what surprised Gan Guoyang even more was the arms exposed under the cuffs of the giant's short-sleeved shirt. Gan Guoyang felt the first time that "his arms were thicker than your thighs."

Moreover, the giant's arms were not fat and thick, but like an ancient vine, wrapped with strong muscles, and his black skin seemed to shine with a cold light like steel.

Gan Guoyang looked at the giant and a word flashed out in his mind, "Devil's muscle man"!

He stared at the devil's muscle man blankly, and even forgot to turn over the beef that was grilled. He thought that if he was as strong as this boss, then why would George beat him long legs?

The boss also noticed Gan Guoyang because there is only one customer in the store now, and the customer is still a yellow boy and is staring at him.

"Hey, your meat needs to be flipped, otherwise it will be scorched." The boss said, reminding Gan Guoyang that his beef was already smoking on the iron plate.

"Ah? Oh..." Gan Guoyang then realized and immediately turned the beef over, but one side was already a little charred.

At this time, the boss walked over and came to Gan Guoyang. Gan Guoyang immediately felt a huge sense of oppression, as if the dark clouds in the sky covered the sun.

"The barbecue in my shop tastes OK, right?" the boss asked, and sat opposite Gan Guoyang.

"Well, it's very good, it feels great." The boss sat down, and Gan Guoyang instantly felt much less pressure.

"Have you been here before?" the boss asked again.

"No, I just arrived in the United States last month and lived in Chinatown. This is my first time eating outside in a restaurant."

"Oh! It turns out that they are friends from China, it's really welcome. I like eating Chinese food very much." The boss seems very enthusiastic. In the United States, if you see two people chatting very happily, they may not be friends, maybe they are just strangers.

"My dad is a chef. If you want, you can go to the Ganjia Restaurant in Chinatown to try the dishes he cooks."

"Haha, Ganjia Restaurant, I have heard of it. It seems that a new chef came there, and it is said that the dishes are very good."

"Yes, that's my dad."

"Oh! Then I will definitely try it if I have time."

"By the way, you brought a basketball over here. Do you like basketball very much?" The boss noticed the basketball placed under Gan Guoyang's feet.

"Yes, I got here all the way from Chinatown today, so I ate here."

"Oh, what a hard-working child. I used to be like you, carrying basketball everywhere."

"Can you play basketball?" Gan Guoyang's eyes lit up after hearing the boss's words.

"Can you know a little." The boss smiled and nodded.

"Then you must be very powerful!" Gan Guoyang said to his boss's thick arms, "How did you practice so strong?"

"Haha, it's all about relentless efforts and a reasonable diet."

Sure enough, there is no shortcut to strength practice.

Soon, Gan Guoyang finished the barbecue and patted his stomach with satisfaction, "I'm full!"

"Are you finished eating? Do you still have to play basketball in the afternoon?"

"Yes. But both of my friends have gone to community activities. I am the only one, so I can only practice shooting and dribbling." Gan Guoyang thought of going to the old place in Union Square to practice football alone in the afternoon.

"Why not play ball here, right? There is an open space at the back of my store and a basket there." The boss made this suggestion.

"Yes!" Gan Guoyang happily accepted the proposal, thinking that he might ask the boss for advice.

So after paying the bill, Gan Guoyang followed the boss out of the restaurant, turned left a few steps, and saw an iron wire door. When he walked in, he saw a concrete open space with a basketball rack standing inside. Just like the venue in Union Square, there was no marking and not a regular venue.

"Okay, young man, how do we play? Oh, I'll take off my shirt first." As he said that, the boss unbuttoned the buttons of his shirt, took off his clothes, and only wore a small vest inside.

Only then did Gan Guoyang realize that the boss not only had thick arms, but his entire torso was like an ancient Greek sculpture, with explosive muscles. Although some fat could be seen in some parts, the boss should be forty years old after all, but it did not affect the perfection of his overall figure.

Gan Guoyang was stunned for a moment and was shocked by the boss's strong body. However, he immediately came to his senses and secretly decided that he would work hard and strive to practice like this boss!

"I want to practice the inside skills! Please give me some advice on singles and inside defense!"
