Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 116: The One Who Achieves Great Things, Lonely

After the interview, Chen Fang immersed himself in training.

He knew very well that there would be some violent reaction, so he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Through Yan Zhen's help, he went to the gym of Nanyang High School for training.

The price he paid was that Sun Yi wanted to train with him.

Kou Feng and Han Nuo are not native to Nanyang, so it is difficult for them to find a sparring partner, but unexpectedly, Sun Yi is willing to do so.

Of course, if Lu Yun knew about this, the relationship would probably be severed.

Catch the ball, take two steps forward without dribbling, and then throw the ball towards the basket.

Sun Yi watched silently as his left and right hands repeated the exercise. When Chen Fang took a break, he asked, "What is the underlying logic of this kind of training?"

“Develop a sense of rhythm for your body to move naturally.”

Chen Fang demonstrated it, took the ball, took two steps forward casually, and then threw the ball out.

Even though it didn't go in, it was still a three-pointer, Chen Fang said calmly: "The more technically difficult the ball is, the less tense your body is, you have to be very relaxed."

"What about shooting?" Sun Yi suddenly asked.

"Relax, especially your arms."

"Wouldn't it be very easy to miss all three shots?" Sun Yi asked.

"That's because you didn't transmit all your strength well." Seeing that Sun Yi was very eager to learn, Chen Fang said, "Let me ask you, which one is more dexterous, the hands or the feet?"

"hand."

"So when shooting, do you use your feet or your hands first?"

"foot."

"So the conclusion is that there is a problem with using your feet to push and your hands to aim?"

"no!"

"The hands are used to control the accuracy of the shot, while the distance the ball flies is supported by the power of the lower limbs."

"I'll try." Sun Yi obviously listened to him. How could he not listen to Chen Fang, a man who had made it directly into the national youth team with incredible shooting accuracy?

That was a dream I never dared to have.

Sun Yi now realizes that it is futile to work behind closed doors and practice hard without advanced ideas.

Chen Fang continued with his lobs. He was very patient because he knew that every skill that could help you score points needed to be honed.

Just when Chen Fang was in seclusion for cultivation, a trend started by Hupu began to sweep across the country.

A post titled "Use shooting to realize an NBA dream?" began to spread through various channels.

The text begins by telling the story of how a high school sophomore entered the youth training team through an ordinary high school basketball league, and then used his excellent shooting to defeat Tsinghua High School and enter the national youth team.

Just when everyone thought this was a fantasy novel, a mixed-cut video proved that it was true.

Not only that, there are two videos at the end, one is Chen Fang’s start video, and the other is an interview video.

Many people began to verify it, especially the victory over Tsinghua High School, which caused an uproar.

Many fans of Tsinghua High School were even more excited and left messages using extremely radical and harsh words.

Soon, a video asking Wang Tianjie a question appeared. In the video, when Wang Tianjie heard Chen Fang's name, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked in return, where did you hear it from.

As a result, the other party gave a brief summary, and Wang Tianjie was embarrassed and did not say anything, and ended the interview in a hurry.

The appearance of this video instantly silenced many voices.

As this post started to gain popularity, more revelations emerged, with the video from Dongdan Wu Youfa receiving the most traffic.

He said directly in the video: I don’t know if he beat Tsinghua High School, but that day in Dongdan, he even made Marbury smoke.

Then came the three-point competition between Chen Fang and Marbury that day.

Each and every event is like adding fuel to the bonfire, making it burn brighter and brighter.

Soon, two freshly released verification videos further confirmed the authenticity of the post.

On the CBA game day, after the game between Beijing Bulls and Dalian Yifang, a curious reporter directly asked Marbury if he knew a man named Chen Fang. Perhaps worried that Marbury didn't know, he brought up the three-point contest between Dongdan and Dalian.

Marbury immediately praised Chen Fang's shooting as one of the most accurate he had ever seen, and he knew very well that Chen Fang was already in the National Youth Team, so he called out to Chen Fang and invited him to come to Beijing Bulls.

Yes, I know him. He is very popular recently. Haha, this little brother is really awesome.

I want to challenge him to a one-on-one duel. I heard that he beat Poole 5-0, and I want to save face for my little brother.

The video went viral instantly, with millions of views on the same day.

Almost at the same time, a reporter interviewed Jeter, who had just helped Shandong win the game and scored 45 points.

Jet laughed and said quickly: I also have a video of beating him up, I will post it when I get back. He also shouted to Chen Fang across the air, saying that he had learned some new tricks and asked him to come to Jinan to find him as soon as possible.

Once the two videos came out, there are really no more questioning voices.

In just a few days, the majority of netizens went from doubting to believing, and now the topic has become whether Chen Fang has the ability to play in the NBA.

Why are we fighting?

Regarding this point, there are mainly two groups of people.

One group was people who had been hyped up by the media and didn't believe any reports. They listed several difficulties in playing in the NBA that Chen Fang couldn't overcome.

The most difficult thing to overturn is that there is no guard in China or even in Asia who can be noticed by the NBA, especially the yellow people.

The entire yellow-skinned race in Asia has never produced an NBA-level guard. The reason is that in terms of speed, strength, muscle endurance, and even the skills required of a guard, they do not meet the minimum NBA guard standard.

This is indeed a fact, and it leaves many people speechless once it is brought up during a debate.

Another group of people started talking about national justice and listed Chen Jianghua and Guo Ailun, saying that they actually had opportunities but just missed them.

And considering Chen Fang is only 16 years old, there is still plenty of time for him to improve his performance.

But despite this, this group of fans who believed that Chen Fang had the potential to succeed were still at a disadvantage. Many fans soon began to vent their anger on people and the issue, mocking Chen Fang for being a tool launched by interest groups to consume the public.

They analyzed the whole incident seriously, wondering why it could trigger heated discussions in such a short time. There must be someone behind it.

Public opinion began to turn against Chen Fang. At this moment, the WeiLan account, which already had millions of followers, updated a video.

This was a match against the French national youth team, and the highlights of Chen Fang's 36 points and 14 assists appeared directly in HD.

This explosive video, which could be considered a small nuclear bomb, immediately set the Internet on fire.

The line at the end of the video, "Be your own light, illuminate your own way", has become so valuable that many fans have started changing their signatures to this.

Even those who strongly believed that Chen Fang would never make it to the NBA stopped trying and disappeared.

On this day, Chen Fang continued to train in the gym of the affiliated high school. After a week of trial and error, he gradually improved his shooting accuracy.

Sun Yi also sincerely admired that Chen Fang could perform boring training on a simple technical move day after day.

He was also paying attention to the Internet and was very aware of how popular Chen's post was on the Internet at the moment.

But this week, he trained with Chen every day, and there was no sign of any wrong emotion in him. He was neither happy nor angry, and was calm and composed.

During the break, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what's going on outside?"

"What's going on? The Internet?"

"Correct."

"I know!" Chen Fang said with ease.

"You look like you don't care at all." Sun Yi thought of himself as a person who didn't care about what others said, but if his name was mentioned everywhere, he wouldn't be able to bear it. He was very curious why Chen Fang was so calm.

"Why should you care? If you can't bear this, what will you do in the future?" Chen Fang asked.

Sun Yi opened his mouth without saying a word.

"Compared to my goal, the pressure now is nothing!"

"I checked your account yesterday, and it has exceeded one million followers."

"Do you believe it? If I went out today and kicked a kid, even if it was not intentional, guess how much of the one million would be left?" Sun Yi was stunned, looking at Chen Fang who was chuckling.

Seeing his expression, Chen Fang said, "Then let's change an example."

"If I don't score a few points in an important game and get eliminated, how many people who praise me now will still praise me?"

“It should be less!”

"I'm like this every time. One day, I'm not even allowed to play in the game. Do you think anyone will still praise me?"

Sun Yi shook his head.

"So, one million is not important. It's all empty. As long as you perform poorly or do something wrong, you will lose a lot. When that day comes, do you think your mentality will be unbalanced?"

"meeting."

"I would too, so from the beginning, I assumed that I had no fans, I didn't need fans, I believed in myself."

"It is said that those who do great things must be alone. Let me understand that it means to believe in yourself and rely on yourself to protect yourself."

"Okay, let's continue training." Chen Fang stood up and walked onto the court.

Looking at his back, Sun Yi deeply understood Chen Fang's iconic line.

Be your own light, you don't need others to shine for you.

"Have you bought clothes for the New Year?" Wu Zi suddenly asked as they were sitting on a stone bench on the river bank outside Wu Zi's house.

It is surprisingly sunny today, and there is no wind. The sun is shining on my body, making me feel warm.

"Would you like me to buy it?" Chen Fang licked his face and moved forward, but was pushed back by Wu Zi with his elbow.

"I don't believe it. You must have bought it." Although Wu Zi said this, she still looked at Chen Fang with some suspicion.

"I bought it." Chen Fang was afraid that Wu Zi would take it seriously: "A black woolen coat with a black turtleneck sweater inside. Hang a shiny little pendant, and it will be very handsome."

"What to wear with your lower body?"

"Black straight-leg cargo pants."

"All black?"

"Is it not good?" Chen Fang couldn't help but wonder: "Why do you ask so clearly?"

"What do you care?" Wu Zi said fiercely, and then changed the subject: "You haven't been to the gym recently?"

"No, they are playing in the qualifying rounds, there is no need for me to go."

"But I heard from Zheng Shuang that there are a lot of your fans waiting for you, and many of them are girls."

Chen Fang blinked and laughed: "Why, are you feeling stressed?"

"Tsk!" Wu Zi sneered and crossed his legs: "I don't know who is more stressed."

"It's me. I'm worried every day!" Chen Fang pretended to be sad.

"Because I noticed that you've been appearing in Zheng Shuang's videos a lot recently, and in the comment section, there are a lot of perverts asking about you," Chen Fang complained.

"Oh, there's only Zheng Shuang in your place, so of course I can only play with her. She invited me to appear on camera, so I just made a cameo appearance."

Zheng Shuang is now the second most popular account after Chen Fang, and her fans are about to exceed one million.

The video with the highest number of likes is almost reaching 100,000. Now, we are receiving a lot of private messages for cooperation, and it seems that the first business order of the Azure Label is about to be completed.

And that video is a powerful combination of Zheng Shuang, who is 175cm tall, and Wu Zi, who is 178cm tall.

Chen Fang also watched the video and watched it many times.

Zheng Shuang is dribbling the ball in front, and Wu Zi is standing with legs crossed behind her, turning sideways and grabbing the basketball with one hand. The composition alone is already super cool.

There is nothing else to look for, just four long legs and a beautiful body curve, she looks from 16 to 66 in one second.

"By the way, when will you be able to catch the ball with one hand?" Chen Fang asked curiously.

"14 years old is enough." Wu Zi had a surprised expression. Now that Chen Fang was so much taller than her, it was difficult to grab him.

"Do you feel any pressure becoming my person?" Chen Fang asked.

"Why should there be pressure?" Wu Zi asked back.

Seeing that Chen Fang didn't answer, Wu Zi said: "I never care about this. No matter who you are, as long as you don't change towards me, it's fine."

"If you weren't a supermodel, what would you choose to do?"

"If you don't want to be a player, what will you choose?" Wu Zi really didn't want to suffer any loss.

"Shall we talk about it together?" Chen Fang thought of a good idea.

"Okay!" Then the two of them nodded together and opened their mouths together.

“Open a supermarket.”

"Open a small shop!"

After saying this, they were both dumbfounded, and then they laughed together.

This kind of smile when looking at each other can really melt each other's hearts.

"You have no ambition at all. You only want to open a small shop." Chen Fang laughed.

"Can supermarkets also have smaller ones?" Wu Zi was unconvinced and reached out to hit him.

Chen Fang held her tightly and suddenly frowned: "Why are your hands so cold?"

"Here comes a good friend, that's it, anemia." Wu Zi didn't hide it at all.

"Let's go have some black chicken soup tonight. It has miraculous effects." Chen Fang said immediately.

"How do you know?" Wu Zi became alert.

Before Chen Fang could react, he said casually: "Before, my..."

The alarm command from the brain finally reached the mouth, and Chen Fang managed to brake.

Beads of sweat suddenly welled up on his temples.

"It was shared with me by my friend, who is also your friend, Mr. Lu." Chen Fang reacted quickly and smoothed it over.

Mr. Lu, who was far away in Sanya, was chatting and laughing with a bikini beauty he had just successfully chatted up, when he suddenly sneezed, spraying half of the beauty's face.

Then I watched the girl walk away angrily.

"It's strange. It's over 20 degrees here. How could I sneeze? Is someone cursing me?" Lu Yun couldn't help but think deeply.

"Lu Yun?" Wu Zi, who was thousands of miles away, believed most of it and showed a look of disgust on his face.

"You are not allowed to go out with him anymore. You can do it at the base."

"Okay." Chen Fang was very honest.

"By the way, why?" Chen Fang was actually trying to change the subject.

"He always asked me to clean up his mess before. When he broke up with someone, he would call me to be his shield, and then he would feel ashamed when he saw me, and most of the time, he would be able to successfully break up with me."

There is also this operation. Chen Fang couldn't help but ask: "Then why are you willing to go?"

"There's money to be made. My appearance fee is very expensive. I wish he could date a few more girls at that time." Wu Zi couldn't help feeling happy when she recalled those days when she made money.

"Then do you know his family background?" Chen Fang asked cautiously.

"Very rich, right? I haven't asked." Wu Zi was surprised by Chen Fang's expression, then she realized, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm not thinking about anything." Chen Fang finally understood the connection between Wu Zi and Lu Yun.

"Let's go. The sun is about to set. Let's go eat some black chicken soup." Chen Fang pulled Wu Zi and left.

However, Wu Zi smiled in a place where Chen Fang couldn't see. She was really surprised that she could notice Chen Fang's little uneasiness.
