China News Service, Liangshan, September 3 (Reporter Zhang Lang) Blue Sky, Baiyun and Qingshan. On the 2nd, in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, a boy wearing a No. 11 jersey was playing basketball on a red ground and slammed the ball with his right hand. Throw it away.

Looking at the line of the arm muscles, he tried very hard, as if he wanted to throw the basketball towards the wider green hills, but he turned around and opened his left hand to catch it.

A beautiful fake pass, basketball "obediently" returned to his control.

  This video received more than 370,000 likes on Douyin and more than 10 million views.

The creator is called "Liangshan Owen", some people in the comments called him "Little Owen", and Liangshan Owen himself wrote this video: basketball dream in the mountains.

  "Liangshan Owen", whose real name is Jingzierli, is 13 years old and is a junior high school student from Meigu County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan.

As his name conveys, he comes from Daliang Mountain, loves basketball, and hopes to become a superstar like NBA star Owen.

  There are 6 children in Jingzierli's family, including two older sisters, one older brother and two younger brothers.

My father used to go out to work, and my mother worked in farming at home.

The family's economy is not rich, and there are debts, but these have not affected the basketball dream of a Dashan boy.

  Unlike ordinary boys who love basketball, the training ground in Jingzierli is not a regular basketball court.

Most of his video backgrounds are the natural scenery of the southwest, with the clear blue sky and white clouds, and the red court under your feet is not rubbery, but "original" land.

For Jing Zierli, as long as there is a basketball, there are basketball courts everywhere.

  The cherishment of basketball stems from a special experience.

Three years ago, in the summer of 3 years ago, Jingzierli and three other friends went to play basketball. He and another boy accidentally fell into the water. It happened that Jingzierli was holding a basketball in his hand and did not drown.

The other boy did not survive, and unfortunately drowned.

  Basketball saved Jing Zierli's life. Originally, he played only occasionally, and since then he has completely fallen in love with the sport.

There is no special basketball training in the local area, let alone coaches.

It’s hard to imagine that those difficult dribbling, shooting, layups, dunks and other movements are all learned by Jing Zierli from watching short videos "stealing the teacher". His "coach" is to teach basketball moves on platforms such as Douyin. Skill account.

  In November 2020, Jing Zierli made a cricket rack by himself, set it up at his home, and played basketball every day.

Although the wooden autumn frame looks "shabby", Jingzierli cherishes it very much.

I usually work with my brothers and sisters at home, and everyone rests after work, but Jingzierli is always full of energy and plays basketball under the wooden cricket rack I made.

As far as Jingzierli is concerned, there is no training, just playing.

  Jing Zierli felt that he was just a boy who loved basketball.

However, basketball has also brought some changes to life, especially after Douyin became popular.

Due to the increase in the number of broadcasts and the increase in fans, "Liangshan Owen" gradually gained a certain degree of popularity.

Now, Jingzierli has 68,000 Douyin fans, and several video views have exceeded 10 million. Some people call him a "superstar" in Dashan.

  After seeing Liangshan Owen's video on Douyin, the "regular army" of Liangshan Prefecture's basketball "regular army" Liangshan Blackhawks invited Jing Zierli to join in a private message to play in Chongqing.

After being taken out to play by the Liangshan Blackhawks in Jingzierli, it seemed that all the children in the village liked basketball.

For many children in the mountains, this may be their first contact with a formal, metal, and glass basketball hoop.
