"farewell!"
"big shark!"
In front of the training base, Zhao Feiyang took the bus with his suitcase. Leaning against the window, he kept looking back at the place where he spent his youth.
It wasn't until his vision gradually blurred that he reluctantly turned around.
Now that he has left the Sharks Club, it does not mean that he will give up his career. After receiving help from the system, Zhao Feiyang is full of expectations for the future.
"Even if he only plays for 10 minutes, with the power of Ray Allen's experience card, isn't he still the king in the CBA?"
"In this case, it will definitely not be a problem for me to sign with another team!"
Zhao Feiyang opened the system page while thinking.
A light curtain appeared in front of him, and he saw an introduction to himself on the system and instructions for using the experience card.
"There are three types of experience cards: beginner, intermediate, and advanced."
"Beginner level is below 60 points and is valid for 10 minutes; intermediate level is between 60 and 80 points and is valid for 20 minutes; advanced level is above 80 points and is valid for 30 minutes!"
"Every time the score reaches 100 on the field, it can be converted into 1 system point. This 1 point can be accumulated, and the experience card will be automatically upgraded to a certain extent."
"The higher the level of the experience card, the more effective it will be when facing stronger stars."
Zhao Feiyang looked at his Ray Allen experience card, which was also a junior experience card and currently only had 61 points.
In this situation, it is enough to play in the CBA, but I am afraid it will be difficult to play in the NBA!
"The host is now a level 1 player, with a field score of 21 points."
"The next level is Level 2. The accumulated game points are 500 points, and you can get a reward: Steve Nash Experience Card."
"Are there any levels?"
Zhao Feiyang curiously opened the level form and found rows of experience cards at the back.
"You can get rewards at the third level: Chris Paul Experience Card!"
"You can get a reward at level 4: Klay Thompson experience card!"
"You can get a reward at level 5: Dwyane Wade Experience Card!"
The most exaggerated thing is that when you reach level 20, you can also get the Michael Jordan Experience Card! However, according to the continuous increase of points, if you want to reach level 20, you must get 40,000 points.
"Holy shit... Jordan himself scored more than 38,000 points, but the cheating system requires 40,000 points to use the Jordan Experience Card?"
"I can score 40,000 points, but do I care whether I use it or not?"
Of course, it only took a moment for Zhao Feiyang to react.
If you were in the NBA, 40,000 points would undoubtedly be difficult to achieve, but if you keep playing in the CBA to earn points, 40,000 points would not seem so out of reach.
As long as I can persist until I retire at the age of forty!
Time passed quickly, and in just over an hour, Zhao Feiyang arrived at his destination. The place he went to was Jiangning Town Central Primary School, where his girlfriend Zhang Jiaying, who had been in love for three years, worked as a teacher.
This time I came here, firstly to take a look at Zhang Jiaying, secondly to find a place to stay temporarily, and then contact other clubs for trial training.
Because of playing basketball, he did not meet with Zhang Jiaying many times during the season, and most of the time they communicated via video. Only during the long offseason did the two have enough time to get tired of being together.
It's not like the 29-year-old has never mentioned marriage, but Zhang Jiaying always puts him off by saying "it's not time yet".
Fortunately, this relationship is relatively stable.
In front of Jiangning Town Central Primary School.
When school is over in the afternoon, there are constant vehicles and pedestrians.
Zhao Feiyang stood under the streetlight opposite the school and waited silently. He had a gift box in his pocket, which contained a necklace worth tens of thousands.
Zhang Jiaying mentioned it once before, and this time Zhao Feiyang bought it specially for her.
The last time the two met was a month ago. A little farewell was better than a wedding. While missing her, Zhao Feiyang also felt a bit like a young man.
Considering that there might be a war-torn situation tonight, Zhao Feiyang bought bulletproof supplies at a drugstore in the town.
Finally, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
"Jiaying, here."
Today Zhang Jiaying is wearing a French apricot dress, a pair of white shoes, and her long black hair is loose. Her height of 1.7 meters shows off her slender legs, and combined with the light makeup on her face, she looks quite mature and charming.
When seeing Zhao Feiyang, Zhang Jiaying was obviously stunned for a moment.
She glanced at both sides of the road, and after finding that there was no car, she quickly walked to the other side of the road. Zhao Feiyang stretched out his arms to hug her, but she reached out to stop him.
"How did you come?"
Zhang Jiaying's cold questioning made Zhao Feiyang frown.
She was not like this before.
"Why can't I come?"
"I came to see you! We haven't seen each other for more than a month..."
Zhang Jiaying didn't speak, she just took out her mobile phone and operated it, then handed it to Zhao Feiyang.
Zhao Feiyang took a look and saw that there was a news report about him, including his wonderful performance in the game and the blockbuster news that he was terminated by the Sharks.
"You were fired from the team?"
Zhang Jiaying asked.
Zhao Feiyang didn't know what she wanted to say, so he only replied with the word "hmm".
"let's break up!"
"Why?"
"Have you ever thought about the future? Now that you are no longer a professional player, what can you do in the future? You are almost 30 years old, and I don't see any hope in you..."
"My salary is not much, and I don't want to live a hard life with you, so I have to find someone who is motivated..."
Zhao Feiyang laughed when he heard this.
What women call being motivated is actually money! But if you can't say this clearly, it can easily be said that you worship money.
He and Zhang Jiaying were together for three years, and most of the money they earned was spent on each other.
Meals, travel, and various gifts are all my own savings. In order to save money, Zhao Feiyang even lived in the players' dormitory to save money.
On weekdays, while his teammates were having a great time, he was reluctant to even buy some clothes. However, he never treated Zhang Jiaying badly.
This is what happened in the end.
On the front foot, I had just been fired, but on the back foot, this woman abandoned me immediately!
No one with any conscience would do such a heartless thing.
After thinking clearly, Zhao Feiyang stopped talking nonsense.
There is no point in saying anything in front of a woman who has changed her heart.
"Okay! Since you think you want to break up, then let's break up! However, Zhang Jiaying, I guarantee you will regret it one day!"
"I do what I say!"
After Zhao Feiyang finished speaking, he dragged his suitcase and left without looking back.
Zhang Jiaying, who was standing there, just looked at his leaving back coldly.
"Zhao Feiyang, you are still so naive!"
"You're almost thirty!"
"Do you think you can still play professionally?"

Staples Center Arena.
In the conference room, owner Jenny Buss was discussing the attendance rate for the new season with the Lakers' top management.
After winning the championship from 2009 to 2010, the Lakers' performance in the past two years has been really bad.
In the 10-11 season, the Western Conference semifinals were swept 4-0 by the Dallas Mavericks, and in the 11-12 season, they were eliminated by the Oklahoma City Thunder with a score of 4-1.
The 12-13 season was even worse, being swept out by the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the playoffs.
Behind the poor record is, on the one hand, Kobe Bryant's injury troubles, and on the other hand, the changing lineup within the team.
Especially last season, although the two superstars Dwight Howard and Steve Nash were introduced under the operation of the team's general manager Mitch Kupchak, the relationship between them and Kobe Bryant Not pleasant to get along with.
Especially Dwight Howard, he is an optimist, while Kobe is a very strict person.
One doesn't have such a strong desire to win, while the other is extremely strict for victory. Such a confrontation will naturally create barriers.
Therefore, last season, the team was divided, and even two coaches were changed in a short period of time.
From Mike Brown at the beginning to Bernie Biskduff, and then to Mike D'Antoni later. Every time a coach is changed, the team's offensive style will change. Such an unstable situation also makes the Lakers, who are already unable to unite, even more chaotic.
As the record deteriorates, attendance will naturally drop. Although Los Angeles has never been short of celebrities, the Lakers' management believes that the current team still needs to build momentum.
"In this year's draft, we used our second-round pick to select newcomer Ryan Kelly. His performance in the summer league was not good enough. Objectively speaking, I don't think he will play in this league for too long..."
"There is no new blood in the team, which is not a good thing for us..."
"However, boss, just yesterday during the Chinese summer preseason, I suddenly found a suitable candidate. If we can sign this player, not only can we use the Chinese market to make up for other expenses, maybe we can also compete with the Rockets Get more benefits as well..."
Team general manager Mitch Kupchak spoke for a while.
After finishing speaking, he handed the information in his hand to his boss Jenny Bass, and also gave a copy to other senior executives. Everyone quickly started reading through it, and before long, some senior officials exclaimed.
"29-year-old Chinese defender?"
"Oh! Mickey! Are you kidding us?"
"Not to mention Chinese players, even local players will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the NBA at this age... Their final fate will only be to play for one or two seasons and then disappear..."
Boss Jenny Buss didn't speak, but looked at General Manager Mitch Kupchak with doubtful eyes.
Mitch Kupchak was not surprised by the reaction.
He signaled to the assistant next to him, and soon the assistant turned on the electronic screen placed in the middle of the conference room.
On the 50-inch electronic screen, the Chinese NBA preseason game held yesterday afternoon was played, and the confrontation on the court was the third quarter of the battle between Zhao Feiyang and Kobe Bryant.
"Oh!"
"This guy feels really good!"
"The three-point shot is really great! Even Kobe was annoyed by him!"
After the video was played, general manager Mitch Kupchak looked at everyone and spoke again, "Yes, he is an older player, but he has what we need... Just imagine, if we sign An older Chinese rookie player will definitely gain enough attention in a short period of time..."
"As long as he can score a few points in each game and the coaching staff ensures a few minutes of playing time, then there will definitely be a considerable number of Chinese fans paying attention to us..."
"As for the future? It's just a one-year contract... This won't be a big loss for us at all..."
