Chapter 61 Beat-it(1/2)

(Readers, come and collect it again!)

In 1982, the entire United States or the entire world was in a transitional stage.

War, anti-war, the Beat generation, colorful bohemian headbands and bright and beautiful plaid shirts, lazy black blues music, intoxicating gin, and the grey and dim tones of NBA TV broadcasts, constitute the American memory of the 1970s.

And in the 1980s, the whole world seemed to be free from the gray and obscure tones and became brighter in an instant.

ET began to set off a frenzy about alien films, while Britain and Argentina fought a war that was not like a war in the South Atlantic. Ronald Reagan recovered from the assassination and began to lead the United States to reverse the decline in the Cold War. Olivia John's "physical" ranked first on the music album sales chart.

Everything is moving in a good direction, and everything means it will be a golden age in American history, including the NBA.

The entry of Big Bird Bird and Magic Johnson in 1979 instantly changed the NBA's decline in a constant decline. This pair of great opponents who created NCAA historical ratings championships, brought their great confrontation to the NBA and will save the entire league.

In three years, the two have won two championships, one of the best rookies and two finals MVPs, leading the Lakers and the Celtics to a revival.

At the same time, other powerful men are not willing to fall behind. The most shocking news is that the 1982 regular season MVP Moses Malone, who joined the super strong team and the defending champion of the Eastern Conference, Philadelphia 76ers.

The golden age of the NBA has begun.

At this time, the Chinese who traveled through time for thirty years and came to this land across the ocean, Gan Guoyang, was experiencing the darkest moment in his short basketball career.

It is now the end of November 1982. It is late autumn and California is no longer warm, while Gan Guoyang's basketball team at UCLA has entered a cold winter.

In nearly three months after entering UCLA, he found that he had never been able to integrate into this school or into this basketball team.

UCLA is too big for him. He has to walk a long way to get from the dormitory to the gymnasium every time he trains.

The study courses here are also extremely intensive and difficult. Gan Guoyang is not afraid of studying, but after all, he is not a learning madman, not to mention that he has more important things to do.

He wants to play basketball.

However, he also has no sense of belonging in the basketball team, even though he has shown his outstanding talent and skills in countless training sessions, as well as basketball IQ that ordinary people cannot reach.

Gan Guoyang is the only player who has been praised for his return to UCLA to play in recent years. Other players are not even worthy of being criticized by him.

Because Coach Famal doesn't like Gan Guoyang, doesn't like this thorn, doesn't like this, always against him, always likes to make some vulgar jokes - he thinks these jokes are not funny at all.

Gan Guoyang didn't like this coach who always had a stern face and had his nose and corners of his eyes long and looked like a octopus;

Famal felt that Gan Guoyang had no sense of discipline and did not know how to respect his predecessors. He was a young boy who always liked to show off his talents.

Gan Guoyang believes that Famal acts in a rigid manner and does not know how to adapt. He always likes to suppress others with his identity, does not like to adopt the opinions of the players, and most importantly, he does not recognize his talents and efforts.

This is true for some people in the world, living under the same blue sky, but it seems to exist in different worlds.

The same one has a head, two eyes, one nose and one mouth, but one can’t pee in a pot.

Not only the coach, Gan Guoyang thinks that the same is true for other teammates, especially those old players in the first team. In their opinion, the qualifications are based on who is the first to score in the team. No matter how powerful you are, newcomers have to buy lunch boxes for the old players.

Gan Guoyang is the only one who has never bought a box lunch for an old player.

Life in UCLA is far less beautiful than Gan Guoyang imagined. It may even be hell. The only angel in this hell is Wang Fuxi... By the way, there are two little ghosts Gan Guohui and Chen Xing.

Only when you are with them can Gan Guoyang feel some warmth and not have so many worries.

Now he misses his days in San Francisco, in Palo Alto, and in Vikings; he misses Die Pembroke, Williams, Vigis, and Bellman.

On Tuesday, November 30, 1982, Gan Guoyang returned to the dormitory after taking yoga classes.

He found that Qian Moss was not here. Judging from how they got along with Qian Moss during this period, he probably went somewhere to pick up girls.

Qian Moss' father has several warehouse companies in Los Angeles and is a wealthy businessman, so Qian Moss is also a famous playboy, and his girlfriend changes almost every Monday.

The girl who did good things with him in the dormitory that day after school started, caught him on the first day he came to school. She turned out to be a cheerleader of the UCLA basketball team.

However, apart from being lustful and playful, Qian Mos still has no bad habits and is also pretty good. Especially since he likes music, he always buys many music tapes to share with Gan Guoyang, which makes Gan Guoyang feel quite good.

"This guy made the room messy again. I wonder which girl was ruined by him." Gan Guoyang looked at Carlos' messy bed and ground and said helplessly to himself.

"Oh my God, this guy doesn't even know how to throw away the condom, and can't stand him... What is this, a new album?" Gan Guoyang actually found a condom that he had not thrown out by the bed, but on the sofa chair next to him, he saw a box of new music tapes, which seemed to have just been released.

"Thriller? Shiver, Michael Jackson... This guy's face looks so familiar... Michael... Michael? It's Michael!" Gan Guoyang picked up the tape and found out that the singer of this album was Michael who knew when he was undergoing back injury treatment in Santa Barbara!

"He has really released an album. It's just a year. It's such a coincidence that he can find his album here." Gan Guoyang didn't know that this was not a "too coincidence".

Today Michael Jackson released his second album "Thugger", which once released, occupied the top spot in major rankings and swept across the United States with a storm.

Almost all pop music lovers bought this masterpiece by Michael Jackson, which triggered a Jackson frenzy.

Gan Guoyang opened the tape box, took out the walk-man he bought from Wang Fuxijia store, and began to listen to the most famous album in the history of pop music.

Wanna-be-Stratin'Somethin' (indiscipline)

Baby-be-mine (be my baby)

The-Girl-Is-Mine

Thriller (Thunch)………

Gan Guoyang listened to these unique Michael Jackson songs and his unique voice with a childish voice, and seemed to tremble every cell in his body.

In this exciting music, Gan Guoyang seemed like a person who had been stuffed in the water for a long time, suddenly floating on the surface of the water, breathing in fresh air greedily.

When he heard the song Beat-It, and heard You-better-run, you-better-do-what-you-can, (You'd better run, you'd better do what you can do) Don't-wanna-see-no-blood, Don't be-a-Macho-man, (Don't bleed, don't show off).....So-beat-it…just-beat-it, beat-it…..(avoid, avoid), he suddenly felt a sudden feeling.

Yes, since I have no way to change Coach Famar, no way to change other players, no way to change UCLA, and even less able to change myself, so let's avoid it.

Avoid this place that does not belong to you, avoid those who hate you, avoid the overly heavy glory here, and avoid the overly lofty ideals here.

Find places you like, find places where you can use your talents and talents, find a group of like-minded brothers, and open up your own world on the basketball court.

Now, the warm-up match between schools is about to end, and the Pacific League competition where UCLA is located will be officially launched to compete for the top 48 of the NCAA National Championships in 1983.

Gan Guoyang has not even played a warm-up match now, and Famal wants him to sit on the bench at all. And he told Gan Guoyang that he would not let him play in his freshman year and would have to wait until his sophomore year.

It’s all about the year and month of freshmen who are not allowed to play formal games! If freshmen don’t play, there will be only six people in UCLA who can play basketball.

There is no match to play, and the torture of Gan Guoyang is second only to never pushing down Wang Fuxi. He can wait for the latter, but he has decided not to endure the former.

Gan Guoyang pulled off the earphones stuffed into his ears and began to pack up his clothes and other luggage in the dormitory. Anyway, he didn't have much stuff and didn't bring home appliances. Moss had all the money.

Soon, he packed up all his things, and Gan Guoyang decided to leave here.

If it were someone else, it would be unimaginable that he would drop out of school on his own in his first year of college, especially a prestigious university like UCLA.

But the stubborn Gan Guoyang knew that he could not stay here anymore. He could not guarantee whether his basketball career would be ruined.

He still remembers two months ago, after two weeks of training, Jabbar was preparing to leave UCLA and return to the Lakers to report.

During his last confrontation training before leaving, Jabbar told him, “When you feel there is no hope, you might as well choose to leave.”

Jabbar used to play in the Milwaukee Bucks and won a championship; but six years later he insisted on leaving and was traded to the warm Los Angeles, restarting another legend of his.

Now, Gan Guoyang wants to cut off his arm, leave this famous basketball school, and start his college career again... As for how to start, he has not yet thought about it.

Gan Guoyang looked at the dormitory that he had lived in for three months, but still sat down and wrote a letter to Qian Mos. After all, the two of them were still very good friends in the past three months.

But before leaving, he had another more important thing to do, and he wanted to meet someone - Wang Fuxi.

I was about to leave Los Angeles and leave UCLA. This decision was like this. It suddenly became so sudden that even Gan Guoyang felt that his brain was in a mess.

So he was going to meet Wang Fuxi.

After all, if Gan Guoyang really leaves Los Angeles, he may not necessarily return to Los Angeles to go to school in the future, which means the two will separate from each other.

After more than three months of getting along, Gan Guoyang felt that he could no longer leave this cute girl who was a bit unruly, gentle, wise and childish.

He fell in love with her deeply, and in this time and space that did not belong to him, he fell in love with this destined girl.

When Gan Guoyang took his big bags and money and goods, he arrived at Inglewood High School in a taxi, the school just ended.

Gan Guoyang just poked the school gate with a bunch of things straight like a telephone pole. When Wang Fuxi saw him, he thought he was a worker.

Wang Fuxi has now withdrawn from the basketball team, which is a difficult decision for her because she is so competitive, likes basketball so much, and wants to win the championship.

But in comparison, he prefers Gan Guoyang, and women's basketball does not have a university scholarship, so she quits the team and spends more time studying and accumulating her resume to apply for UCLA.

Of course, there is another more important reason, that is, Wang Fuxi is afraid that his legs will become thicker and muscled legs when playing too much basketball, so it will not look good, and Gan Guoyang will not like it.

"Forrest Gump, why are you here?" Wang Fuxi was still very happy to see Gan Guoyang's sudden arrival and immediately went up to meet him.

"Forrest Gump, why don't you speak? Your face doesn't seem to be very good. What happened?" Wang Fuxi looked at Gan Guoyang's face, and it seemed that it was not very good.

"Fuxi, would you like to be with me forever?" Gan Guoyang suddenly asked.

"Of course I do, I always do it." Wang Fuxi didn't know what happened, but she still answered without hesitation.

"Well, so do I; Fuxi, we...we are really together!"

"Really together? What does it mean..."

……………………

When Gan Guoyang took off Wang Fuxi's hat in a hotel in Inglewood, he realized why she always wore this low-pressing baseball cap.

Because she was so beautiful, she took off her hat and showed off her beautiful hair. The feeling of being natural jade-carved and powdered is not something that can be experienced by a hat blocking it.

When Gan Guoyang gently unbuttoned the green green cover buckle of Fuxi, the slightly smaller cover slitdled slightly, and then fell on the bed with Gan Guoyang's caress, and tied it up, revealing a pair of round and plump jade rabbits.

In an instant, Gan Guoyang's eyes, attracted by Wang Fuxi's face, shifted to the pair of beautiful objects.

Their shape is so beautiful, like two pearls in the shape of tears, blooming with a luster under the dim light.

The light, white and slightly transparent, reflects a heavy texture; the protrusion is small and round, standing on the red glow the size of two coins, like red beans in a small plate.
