(The editor said that he would be on the new book list, and the new book period was only one week, so he gritted his teeth and updated the chapter. He happened to get rid of the plot outside the field, and the California Championship was about to be around. I am still very grateful for my few readers' support. Logically speaking, my collection was very disappointing, but I found that my red tickets were relatively large, which means that readers who read books are still very loving and support me. I believe there are good jrs from Hupu, and I will continue to do this. What's more, I am very confident in my story because I wrote about this one in the 1980s and had no branches, and I have a lot of goods in my mind. But I still hope that the book friends who read this book will collect it. Watching my collection data climb one by one, it is still quite exciting, but it is a bit slower, because the previous books have not been updated long ago!! I talk a little too much, read books, use your baidu if you are interested.)

From January to February 1982, the weather in the United States began to gradually warm from cold. The snow, which was not thick in California, was slowly melting, and the warm monsoon blowing from the Pacific Ocean began to bring the breath of spring.

The regular season of the California High School Basketball League in the 1981-1982 season is coming to an end. High school teams in all levels and regions will complete their schedules, and the team rankings are gradually becoming clear.

On February 28, the last day of February, midnight, March will be in more than half an hour. In a movie theater in San Francisco, this year's hit "Conan the Barbarian" is being released.

This violent action film starring Schwarzenegger swept the world and earned more than $100 million in box office, which was a very amazing achievement in the 1980s. This film also began Schwarzenegger's journey toward an action superstar.

At this time, in a corner of this cinema, there were two tall figures nestled on the bench in the back row and staring at the big screen with their eyes unblinking.

This cinema was opened in San Francisco for a relatively early time, so the venue is not big and the facilities are a bit old. The front row is full of separate leather seats, while the back row is full of long wooden benches.

"Gan, do you think the sword Conan is real? He doesn't use real weapons to make props when making movies, right?" One of the people asked softly, while the other person was obviously Gan Guoyang.

"It must be fake. The sword used during the fight should be made of props made of special materials, but when taking close-ups, it seems that it is indeed a real sword." Gan Guoyang also replied softly.

As a time traveler who has seen all kinds of incredible high-tech movies in the 21st century, the simulated props in "Conan the Barbarian" are just tricks in Gan Guoyang's eyes. However, the big snake model in the movie scared Gan Guoyang. Unexpectedly, the model production level in Hollywood was so high at this time.

The person who sits next to Gan Guoyang while watching movies without turning his eyes and occasionally asks is Wilt Chamberlain.

Chamberlain once played in San Francisco for two and a half seasons, and his No. 13 jersey also retired from the Warriors. Therefore, he still has a lot of affection for the city of San Francisco.

Although he mainly lived in New York after retiring, running his nightclubs, real estate and stock business, he went to San Francisco to spend Christmas with his old friends. In addition, he met Gan Guoyang, a "child", so he decided to stay here for a while, and this time he stayed until the end of February of the second year, and it was about to be March.

Because Chamberlain is here, Gan Guoyang takes time to go back to San Francisco every weekend and go to the Grand Nate barbecue restaurant to play with Chamberlain. Of course, the most important thing is to learn to bend back and jump shots.

After entering the new year, the California High School League entered a more intense period of competition, with many teams striving to qualify for the state bidding, including naturally the Palo Alto Vikings.

However, the Vikings’ goal is not just to enter the state bid, but to enter the California Basketball Championship as the first place in the region!

In this year's California Basketball League, more than 200 teams will enter the "playoffs", which means they are qualified to compete for state championships.

California high schools are divided into five levels, and Palo Alto High School is located in the second level, which is a school with a size of 1,600 to 2,000 people, will have 56 teams entering the state championships.

The fifty-six teams will be divided into two areas: Southern California and Northern California, and the Southern California champion will be decided, and the two teams will compete for the final state championship.

Of course, the same is true in other districts, which means that 5 state champions will eventually be born, which is unique among all states in the United States.

Now, the Vikings have strided on the road to the state championship, or rather, they are already preparing for the state championship.

In the 32 games that have ended, they have achieved an amazing record of 29 wins and 3 losses, and have long been the top spot in the competition area.

What's even more amazing is that after Gan Guoyang returned, the Vikings only lost one game. The reason for the loss of that game was that Gan Guoyang had a bad stomach and couldn't play normally after eating hamburgers before the game...

In the 27 games that Gan Guoyang averaged 28.5 points, 14.9 rebounds, 4.1 blocks and 3.5 assists per game, which can be said to be the only one in the entire California region.

If it weren't for the identity of a yellow man, he would have been on the cover of major basketball magazines now.

By early March, the final regular season game will end, by then, all teams that have won the first place in the division will go directly to the state championship, and the remaining teams will be selected by the committee. After the list is determined, the schedule will be arranged according to the geographical location of the high school.

Before the official championship begins, each team will have about two weeks off, until mid-March, the California Basketball Championship will begin with the NCAA College Basketball Tournament, when the whole of the United States will fall into the "March Crazy" of basketball!

The movie gradually approached the end with the climax. At this time, Chamberlain stood up from the back row and said to Gan Guoyang next to him: "Let's go first, otherwise there will be too many people later and there will be trouble again."

Chamberlain's figure is so eye-catching that he will be recognized wherever he goes, and he will inevitably be pulled over by passers-by to take photos. Chamberlain is enthusiastic and generous, and rarely refuses the demands of fans. For him, it is difficult for him to walk happily on the streets of San Francisco.

So today Chamberlain and Gan Guoyang chose such an old small cinema and chose to come to watch the movie in the midnight venue. They also sat in the last row and delayed the entry by five minutes. Now they have to leave early.

"Okay, let's go." Gan Guoyang nodded, and then left the screening hall like a thief as Chamberlain stood up.

Fortunately, there were no Chamberlain fans among the staff at the cinema, so although they saw that Chamberlain and Gan Guoyang had their eyes widened, they did not run up to ask for autographs.

The two left the cinema successfully. Gan Guoyang got on the specially customized golden Lamborghini "Searcher" of Chamberlain and drove on the midnight streets of San Francisco in a blink of an eye.

Chamberlain turned on the cassette recorder in the car, and the sound of the surround sound of the whole car began to float out melodious singing:

“If-you're-going-to-san-francisco, (if you're going to San Francisco,)

Be-sure-to-wear-some-flowers-in-your-hair.(Don't forget to put flowers in your hair.)

If-you're-going-to-san-francisco (if you're going to San Francisco,)

You're-gonna-meet-some-gentle-people-there…………………………………………………”

"This is Scott McKenzie's "San-Francisco", and I like this song very much." Chamberlain introduced, while increasing the speed of the car to 100 yards, which was too easy for his car.

This song can be regarded as a city song in San Francisco. The slightly lazy voice of McKenzie and the romantic and free atmosphere in the lyrics coincide with the atmosphere of San Francisco and even California.

Chamberlain quickly drove the car to the beach and opened the roof of the car, allowing the nightly sea breeze to blow on the faces of the two of them. The music seemed even more vague and dissipated in the wind, as if it was a sound from the sky.

"Gan, do you want to enter the NBA?" Chamberlain suddenly asked Gan Guoyang.

"Well, of course." Gan Guoyang replied without hesitation.

"Gan, remember, you must control your destiny in your own hands." Chamberlain turned his head and looked at Gan Guoyang and said.

"Uh..." Gan Guoyang thought of Bill Russell he had met. He once said that he should "control himself". Later, Thurmond also told him that the king not only controls himself, but also controls others.

"Haha, you will always understand in the future. There are too many people in this world who cannot help themselves. Whether you are a small caterpillar or a huge elephant, you have to fight for your own destiny." Chamberlain said again when he saw that Gan Guoyang did not speak.

"Then can you control your own destiny now?" Gan Guoyang asked.

"Maybe, I can do what I want, run nightclubs, run around the country, and do all kinds of things I like."

"But the only thing I can't control is loneliness," Chamberlain changed his tone, "No one likes Goliath."

Goliath was a giant in the Bible and he was eventually killed by David.

Chamberlain is like Goliath among ordinary people, and is regarded as an alien. He is undoubtedly a superstar, but people still like David, not Goliath.

"Giants are always lonely." Gan Guoyang said, because he is now a 6-foot-9 giant, and in later generations he is less than 6 feet.

Now his future in basketball is bright, but sometimes he misses his life when he was short.

In this way, he doesn't have to bow his head when entering the door, the bed doesn't need to be lengthened, and he won't always scare children when he goes out on weekends. He can live an ordinary student life like an ordinary person, rather than being the focus everywhere he goes.

Perhaps one day he will face the same troubles as Chamberlain and have to avoid this society in order to get peace.

"Then learn to enjoy loneliness." Chamberlain said with a smile after hearing Gan Guoyang's words, and speeded up the car again.

"Then what are you going to do next?" Gan Guoyang asked.

"I... I'm going to participate in a movie! That boy Kareem has also filmed it, and I'm going to make one now!" Chamberlain watched a movie tonight and thought about making a movie. It looked like a joke in Gan Guoyang, although it was not too difficult for a star like Chamberlain to participate in a movie.

However, two years later, Chamberlain actually participated in a movie.

The name of that movie is "Conan the Destroyer", which is the sequel to the movie "Conan the Barbarian" they watched tonight!

"By the way, Gan, there is only one game left in the high school league, right? I heard that you have won the first place in the competition area." After talking about his plans, Chamberlain began to care about Gan Guoyang's high school league.

The California high school league is still very famous in the United States, not only because it produces NBA stars, but also because of the league system here. All high schools in California, whether public, private, or large, can join CIF (California Interschool League), so the number of participating teams in the entire league has reached an astonishing 1,300.

Because of the large number, California had to classify all teams by size, resulting in no way that statewide battles were launched like Indiana, reducing the level of excitement.

However, a large number of games and high-quality high school players can still attract the attention of basketball people across the United States, especially in California, there are many famous basketball schools, such as NCAA overlord UCLA, which also makes the California High School Basketball League more eye-catching.

At the McDonald's High School Star Game in 1981 last year, 4 of the 24 high school star players were from California, accounting for one-sixth of the total number, while there are 50 states in the United States.

"Yes, but according to coach Bellman, he wouldn't let me play in the last game, for fear that I would be injured." For Bellman now, Gan Guoyang is a treasure, and no one can be missing him. The Vikings with Gan Guoyang and the Vikings without Gan Guoyang are just two teams.

"Haha, you are the biggest reliance of the Vikings now, but you still have to remember that the competition is always between five people. Don't fantasize that you can rely on one person to win the final victory. Maybe it can be done in high school, but the future is absolutely impossible."

Chamberlain said this with a deep understanding. He was a big hit in high school and college. Since entering the NBA in 1959, he has begun to break various records in his personal data. In the first seven years of his career, he won the scoring champion seven times, setting a super record of 50 points per game and a single season average of 50 points.

However, in the past seven years, he won nothing; his predecessor and opponent Bill Russell have won nine championships, including an eight-game winning streak that created American professional sports history.

Finally, in 1967, Chamberlain entered his eighth season in the NBA and was no longer the scoring champion. But his Philadelphia 76ers set the league's best record and knocked the eight-time champion Celtics in the playoffs, Chamberlain personally ended Russell's eight-year dominance.

Eight years were a tormenting time for Chamberlain. He kept trying to do better in loneliness and accusations. He scored more and more points and grabbed more and more rebounds, but he still couldn't catch up with the green back ahead.

Now, he does not want this pain to be added to the young man next to him. Although sometimes hard training is a necessary condition for the superstar to shine, more people become powder rather than diamonds under heavy pressure.

Even a wizard like Chamberlain had the idea of ​​retirement in his second season.

"Thank you, Mr. Wirt. I think maybe I will stay alone all the time, but on the court, every teammate will be my brother, and every opponent will be my enemy. No-brothers, No-basketball (no brothers, no basketball)."
