Some notes on the protagonist's behavior - everyone has a Fake squid in their hearts
I have never written a single chapter for the plot content for a long time. This time, because of the protagonist's behavior, it caused some controversy among readers, and there are some things that can be said.
I declared in advance that this single chapter is not to refute some readers, nor to change my mind for readers who abandoned the book because of this plot.
I am also a reader myself. I think that if I see a book that does not reconcile my own cognition and three views, giving up this book will be a more normal and common choice than changing my own ideas to cater to this book.
If a person has to read so many books, if he has to cater to each one, he will be exhausted as a reader.
So, I am not trying to refute anyone, nor do I want to argue with anyone. I just hope that readers will not make unnecessary arguments over this plot.
Regarding the plot of the protagonist scolding Bass, a simple explanation is made from two directions:
One is the protagonist's character. Different people make different choices when facing the same event because of different personalities, experiences, and life goals.
The protagonist's character is a rich second generation who has obtained a systematic system. In the previous plot, readers suggested that except for the plot of graduation trip, he felt that this was not like a rich second generation.
I want to say now that his behavior is the typical behavior of a rich second generation, or a person who is not short of money.
Because he doesn't play basketball for a livelihood, he has no children to raise, no mortgage or car loan, if he can't play basketball, a large amount of family business awaits him.
Of course, not every rich second generation is like this, but it is logical for a rich second generation to do so.
Of course, I understand that it is easy for readers to take themselves into the protagonist, forget the protagonist's character, and use their own experiences and ideas to make decisions instead of the protagonist.
So, it is normal to have controversy, but why do you have to write this way?
This is the second point, about the protagonist's growth experience and plot development needs.
In the previous chapter, it was mentioned that after the protagonist experienced the [God descended to earth], his pursuit of life was to become the strongest player in the NBA.
From that moment on, the protagonist's behavioral motivation changed.
Serious readers should be able to realize that before [The Gods descended to earth], the protagonist's goal was to play NBA.
He tried his best to get all kinds of opportunities to enter NBA, improve himself in a targeted manner, and racked his brains.
After that, the protagonist enters the state of "I am improving my strength, if you don't have blind eyes, come and choose me."
NBA's fame and fortune have become his accessory, so how could he care about a chance to play in the Lakers?
Therefore, the protagonist must be different from any star in NBA history, and he will definitely make a different choice from others.
When I wrote "Basketball: The Golden Age", Gan Guoyang was a collection of all the life experiences of NBA superstars, so many readers said that they felt like they were reading historical biography, and they felt that Gan Guoyang was a real person.
Because his experiences and behaviors are extracted from NBA superstars.
On the contrary, Gan Liliang is a rebellion against all the legends in the past of NBA. He will experience various legends in the system, but in the end he will take a different path.
In this way, you can understand, what is Jim Bass in Li Liang's eyes?
Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. If you feel uncomfortable reading, you should fork the book. Just like Li Liang. If you don’t feel happy, I can do it.
Everyone has a Farke squid in their hearts.
However, there is no need to worry that the protagonist will always be so brainless. The design of this plot is undoubtedly meaningful. It is related to the internal struggles of the Bass family, the choices of the future protagonists, and career development. I will not make any spoilers here.
At the same time, interested readers can learn about what controls the league and public opinion in the United States in capitalist society. Players can scold the sky and the earth, but there is nothing that cannot be scolded.
By understanding this, you can understand that many seemingly extreme remarks and behaviors of NBA are actually boundaries. It is recommended to read related articles about Nike's loss of Curry, which can be seen through the leopard. If you have the conditions, you can read English reports, which is more detailed.
Finally, I still hope that readers can find fun in this book, which is more important than anything else.
This is also the fundamental purpose of my writing this novel, not for sentiment, but for happiness.
Chapter completed!
