Part I: A Review of My Basketball Journey
In the alley where I grew up, every sharp sound of shoes rubbing against the ground on the basketball court was the metronome of youth. It was a summer afternoon, the sun was shining through the gaps in the leaves and dappling onto the faded basketball court, and I held the basketball for the first time and felt its texture and weight. At that moment, it was as if I had the key to a whole new world.
Over time, basketball became an integral part of my life. It taught me the importance of teamwork, that every pass is a sign of trust in my teammates; It taught me perseverance, and every failed shot is a desire to succeed; It taught me how to stay calm under pressure, and every tense game is a test of self-control.
Over the years, I've witnessed countless victories and defeats, with every jumper score that excites my heart and every mistake that makes me reflect deeply. Basketball is more than just a sport, it's a way of life, a way to challenge yourself. And today, when I see the Mavericks in the playoffs, I see not only the skill and tactics of the players, but also their love of basketball and their desire to win. This spirit is so similar to what I felt on that mottled basketball court.

Under Kidd's leadership, the Mavericks are not just chasing a playoff victory, but also pursuing basketball's insatiable, always-forward spirit. This spirit is the most beautiful thing about basketball.
