China News Service Client, Beijing, June 1 (Reporter Yue Chuan) If you relive the sports elements of childhood, those comic books and cartoons that make us want to stop should occupy most of the memory.
Football teenager
The Uesugi brothers, the big air wing, the cherry tree flower path, Fujiwara Takumi, the Echizen Ryoma ... they are like good brothers who are inseparable, accompanied by batches of childhood after 80 and 90.
Children who grow up with mud together will be blushing, only to persuade each other that their favorite characters are stronger. For them, the school's basket, Nange's school uniform, 86 on the road ... These ordinary objects in the eyes of adults are more magical than ice cream and lollipops.
Time keeps running, even after many years, those people and things are still clearly visible. You and I know why.
Xiangbei Team
The big air wing in a certain area, the rukawa maple in a certain school ... These nicknames that gradually disappeared with growth are unforgettable memories for a lifetime.
I don't know if you still think of it now, those nights that are quietly flipping through the stories with their parents. I ca n’t wait to see if Xiangbei won the county competition, and whether Da can go to Jiaziyuan ...
I don't know if you have this feeling: even if you haven't seen it for a long time, as soon as you hear their name, you will instantly recall the days when you can spend the children's day with them.
Occasional leisure, do you inadvertently recall those "old friends" of that year, and imagine what kind of chances they will have later?
The young Uesugi brothers and Xiao Nan
Among the classic cartoons that led the sports elements into the lives of children, "Baseball Hero" is an earlier one. It is the original intention of many post-80s.
In those years, although "Baseball Hero" did not bring a baseball boom in the country, and even after reading it, many people still understood the rules of baseball, but the story between Asang Cangnan and Uesugi Tatsuya, Uesugi and the brothers, Still deeply in the children's minds. Most of their first loves have a "touch" shadow.
It even teaches us how to properly view death.

With his brother's last wishes, Uesugi gradually grew into the ace pitcher of the Mingqing Academy and eventually led the team to the dream of Jiaziyuan.
This dream-like ending, you must still not forget now. But maybe you do n’t know that this story serialized in the 1980s is still continuing in this century.
In the theater version of "The Wind's Whereabouts", Uesugi also traveled to the United States to start his new journey with the Baseball League. Asang Cangnan became a photography assistant and continued to accompany him. At that time, the teenagers and girls have grown up and worked towards their respective ideals.
Da Ye and Xiao Nan grew up
Also growing, there is the big air wing in "Team Football".
The little wing now is not the teenager in your memory wearing the Nange white school uniform. In the serial, he started his career early. After going to Brazil alone, he settled in Barcelona, Spain, and grew into a world-class star.
Not only the big air wing, but also such as Japan's Kojiro, Wakabayashi and others went to the big clubs in Europe. On the stage of international competitions, the Japanese team has been able to compete with the world's top players.
Football teenager
Just like in reality, in the recent World Cup, the Japanese team almost pulled the championship-winning Belgium off.
Unlike the "football teenager" who keeps opening new chapters, "Slam Dunk" will always stay in that summer.
The animation stopped at the moment when Xiangbei went to the national competition. The comics suddenly ended after they defeated the invincible Shanwang Industry, but failed to finally win the national championship. This is a story that every slam dunk fan can understand.

But you may have accidentally missed it-in the years after the serialization, in order to commemorate the total sales of "Slam Dunk" exceeded 100 million copies, the original author Yuuhiko Inoue was in a room in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan (where the "Slam Dunk" story takes place) The blackboard on the classroom depicts the story of the national competition 10 days later in white chalk.
Miyagi has become the captain of the team, Mitsui is working hard for the winter selection, Rukawa Kaede is studying hard for English in the United States, and Akagi Gang, who has left basketball, is absent-minded in class ... In just a short space, almost all characters have appeared. In the last picture, facing the question of whether he can go to the NBA in the future, Sakuragi replied: "Of course, because I am a genius!"
I can't think of a better ending than it. This chapter, named "Ten Days Later", was the last ending of that summer.

A summer is very short, as short as a week to relive the whole story from beginning to end; a summer is very long, long enough to hold countless distinctive characters, let them fill the entire childhood.
It's just that Haruko likes Sakuragi or Rukawa Feng. This question that has been entangled for a generation seems to never have an answer. However, the story does not always have to end. Sakuragi likes Miss Haruko, which is enough.
Today, Xiangbei's archetypes and scenes in the comics have long become a constant punching ground for slam dunk fans. The endless live-action version of Haruko is the best footnote for this story.

The influence of "Football Captain" is equally profound. It is the intersection of you and me with world-class stars such as Iniesta, Aguero and Torres. During the epidemic, the event was closed, and TV stations in Italy and other places re-played this classic anime again, hoping that it would bring comfort to those old boys.
On stages like the World Cup, the huge tifo of "Soccer Boys" is also frequently seen. Many people can't tell whether they like "Soccer Boy" because of football, or whether they like football because of "Soccer Boy".
Xiao Junguang, Wang Zhongming, Wu Junren, Feixiang, maybe you have grown up are not familiar with these names, they are the representatives of Chinese football in "Football Captain".
Xiao Junguang in the comic is a protagonist's general existence
Xiao Junguang, who had the same birthday as the current national football coach Li Tie, at the age of 18, became the first official player to break Ruo Linyuan's 30-point barrier from outside the penalty area. Later, Xiao Junguang joined Bayern Munich and became a superstar at the same level as the protagonist.
In that different-dimensional world, the author Takahashi Yoichi gave Chinese football unlimited hope, just as he did for Japanese football. However, the reality of Chinese football, after a short-lived 18 years ago, began to continue to "look" at the World Cup.
Where are our shortcomings? Perhaps part of the answer lies in "Baseball Hero".

Jiaziyuan, the place that enchants the youth of baseball in Japan, is the ultimate ideal of their student days.
Of the thousands of teams from all over Japan each year, only 49 teams can qualify for the national finals at the Koshien Stadium in Hyogo Prefecture. The single-elimination elimination system reflects the cruelty of competitive sports. Competition, collaboration, teamwork, respect, frustration, and communication are both the prerequisites for victory and the best interpretation of physical education.
Jiaziyuan brought these children not only bloody competitions, friendship and memories, but also their own personalities. There is a slogan in the corridor of Jiaziyuan Stadium, "98% of high school students are defeated here and then become stronger."

Because of the epidemic situation, this year's "Spring Jiazi Garden" trial was suspended. This is the first time since World War II. But there is no doubt that after the epidemic is over, there will be more "Uesugi Tatsuya", who will devote their entire youth to the dream of their Jiaziyuan.
Compared with the current development of domestic youth sports, we have many lessons to learn from. Today is the Children's Day on Children's Day. Children who wish to have a holiday also have a kazi garden-like passion and pure ideals in their hearts; I hope that we who no longer have a holiday will help them protect their ideals and let it have the opportunity to shine into reality.
