Basketball Boy

I once firmly believed that basketball is a war that only belongs to one person. It wasn't until I walked into the gymnasium of Yancheng City No. 8 Middle School that I realized that some victories are destined to require the heartbeats of a group of people to synthesize into one beat. Ling Tianyi doesn't need applause or teammates. He plays just because basketball never betrays. Until he came to No. 8 Middle School, until he met Coach Li, who was always meditating in front of the tactical board, and met the group of teenagers with the same unwillingness in their eyes. It only took them 270 days from crushing the Yancheng City League to sweeping Hunan Province and climbing onto the provincial championship podium. The sharpness of the "Little Emperor of Yancheng" made the entire southern division remember an aloof name. But in the southern region finals of the national competition, fate gave him the cruelest punishment - not winning or losing, but his figure falling to the ground, and the shattered knees and dreams that followed. "You may not be able to handle professional-level confrontation anymore." With this verdict, Ling Tianyi went to the United States. In a foreign rehabilitation center, he relearned how to stand, walk, and run. From the top of the city to the crown of the country, from broken kneecaps to iron will, from the lone star to the galaxy. When the final whistle of the Southern Conference finals sounded again, he stood where he had fallen and said to the entire field: "I'm back. And this time, what we are going to bring back is the national championship trophy." This is not only the growth history of a basketball boy, but also a declaration to all those who have ever fought alone - when you learn to fight side by side with others, you will be invincible.
