I saw the post-chapter interaction and many readers had already guessed it. Yes, Allen Hampton is based on Iverson. Iverson was born in Hampton, USA, so I simply called him The Hamptons.
It's a pity that Qidian doesn't have the function of winning prizes for guessing, otherwise prizes would be given to readers who guess correctly if they pass the level.
In fact, I had this idea about a year ago, to get rid of the constraints of the real year and write with the characters as the core. This is one of the reasons why I chose to use the fictional writing method at that time.
Take Iverson for example. He participated in the draft in 1996. If a traditional basketball novel wanted to write about Iverson participating in the draft, it would have to start from 1995 or 1996, starting from the golden generation of 1996. It is impossible to write it in In 1996, a LeBron James or Steve Curry appeared.
My overhead writing method can avoid this. A character prototype, and then a little processing, can bring out a story. If readers are familiar with the prototype of athletes, they can even see the scene of "Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong" in "Long Live the Coach".
When I wrote about Lin Feixiang before, some readers asked me why I didn't just use Liu Xiang's name. I just gave a general answer at that time, and I wrote it out of fiction. I didn't want to spoil the story in advance. Now, I write about Iverson in a different era, and my readers should be able to understand my intention, because I am trying a completely different way of writing.
As I said before, I am constantly trying to innovate in this book. Some of the characters in the book are purely fictional, and some are prototypes in reality. Combined, I plan to create as many as possible. Try some.
However, the price of innovation is indeed quite painful. Reader recognition, market acceptance, and control of the plot are all problems. Now that I have passed the test, I feel that it is really thankless to innovate when there is nothing to do! Wouldn't it be easier to just write the routine
It all depends on the help of brothers and sisters. It is not easy to write sports articles, and it is even more difficult to pass the test without writing routine articles. If brothers and sisters can subscribe, please give me a full subscription. Thank you for your support!
The writing status I have recently passed is not good. To sum up, there are two main reasons: laziness and addiction to eating chicken. My work and rest are not very good. It is not the way to go on like this. I will examine myself first and I have to change it.
Plan to use half a month to adjust, and strive to explode at the end of the month, and then grab a wave of double monthly tickets.
Speaking of monthly tickets, no single chapter has been issued yet this month asking for monthly tickets. Although monthly tickets are still the first in the category, they are being chased fiercely. If you have monthly tickets, please give me one or two to encourage me!
Thank you, brothers and sisters.
