All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Summary of recent plot design and insights into writing

By the way, it’s been a long time since I published a single chapter to discuss my writing experience with all my handsome book friends.

Taking advantage of the fact that the updates have been pretty good these days, Qiao decisively decided to open a single chapter to share with you a summary of the recent plot design.

Of course, before discussing the plot with all the handsome readers...

Dear vote kings, the appointment period has come. We welcome your monthly and recommended votes. How soon will they be returned? (Nike laughs.jpg.)

2333333, let’s get down to business!

First of all, from Chapter 251 to Chapter 338, in the 80 introductory chapters, we explain how Su Feng and the Raptors went from building the team to winning the championship and then to the national team in the 98/99 season, and the story of 99/00 The turning point of the season and the foreshadowing of the NBA's brawling pattern in the coming years.

So before talking about the follow-up plot, let's first talk about why Qiao designed Su Feng to win his first career championship in the 1998/99 season?

First, Qiao once said before that basketball writing is also sports writing. The most difficult part is that because basketball writing itself is a re-creation of real-life fans, no matter how the author controls it, as the number of seasons of the protagonist increases, the future Stories can easily lack suspense and have a broken rhythm.

Moreover, sports literature generally suffers from aesthetic fatigue.

That is, it is annoying to watch too many reversals, annoying to watch too many record-breaking games, annoying to see the protagonist being invincible for a long time, annoying for the protagonist not to win, annoying to the protagonist winning, and other such problems.

Therefore, Qiao arranged for Jordan to join the Raptors in a reasonable way. The purpose was to arrange for Su Feng to successfully win the championship in the 1998/99 season and complete the inheritance with Jordan.

In terms of writing method, this is called "spoiler-style writing", that is, the author first explains the ending and then foreshadows the process.

For those who use suspense to attract attention, the biggest disadvantage of this writing method is that if your process cannot capture the readers, it will easily lead to the loss of follow-up subscriptions.

I have to say that Qiao here is really grateful to you all.

Because although the previous updates were disappointing, even during Qiao’s period of “animals are updated every two days”, Qiao’s subscriptions have been stable at around 5,000 to 6,000. (Oh, by the way, we are just shy of over 10,000 in average bookings. I beg you all to come to Qidian.com to read and support Ah Qing’s wave!)

Therefore, if you look carefully, readers who have followed along will find that Qiao’s purpose is to adopt a "spoiler-style writing method"...

It's not just to get rid of the process of the competition. On the premise that the ending has been explained, a lot of pen and ink are spent describing how Su Feng can win the championship.

Because in Qiao's original setting, Su Feng had to win his first career championship in the 1998/99 season.

Therefore, in my layout, winning or not is not the most important thing.

As the saying goes, one link links one link with another.

So now the problem comes again.

Why does Su Feng have to win the championship this season in Qiao's setting?

Because according to Qiao's design, there will be many twists and turns in Qiao's next plot, and as I said, in a book with 20 seasons, it is impossible for Su Feng to win more than ten consecutive championships, so in terms of writing, this is also called giving readers first A piece of candy.

Giving the reader a candy first can give the reader the courage and motivation to continue pursuing the book, and it can also increase the trust between the reader and the author.

In short, a good article must be enjoyable, but in order to be reasonably enjoyable, we have to have the twists and turns.

Therefore, from the perspective of the timeline, winning the shortened season will not only have the least impact on my subsequent layout, but also allow Su Feng to gain an upper hand in his battle with O'Neal, Duncan and others.

After all, in this way, Su Feng is the first among the three to win the championship. In terms of momentum, as long as he wins more honors than Duncan and O'Neal in the future, he will be able to overpower these two great gods.

Therefore, after telling you the ending in advance, throughout the 98/99 season, Qiao's focus has always been on the so-called character description.

For example, Su Feng's daily life with Tracy McGrady and Carter, for example, I spent a lot of space explaining Su Feng's next opponents, for example, I created the tough-talking Pierce, and for example, after the 98/99 season, in order to complete the battle against Su Feng, Feng's strength has improved, and a lot of pen and ink has been spent describing Su Feng's strength in detail.

Including what you said at the beginning of this season, in order to write about Su Feng's toughness, I can even spend half a chapter.

In Qiao's opinion, an excellent book should not only have a fast pace, excellent characters, and a good plot, but it should also have characterizations and side descriptions of the characters.

After all, if I skip a lot of things, then when you watch it again in the future, you will find that the image of Su Feng as a character cannot be established at all.

But until now, I believe many readers have seen that, whether it is Su Feng, Iverson, or Kobe, I have been writing about the world Su Feng lives in as a real parallel world.

Therefore, I will definitely intersperse some details in it. Sometimes, a game will end in one sentence, but I can write about one detail for a long time.

Because only details can increase the degree of realism and reasonableness, and the increase of realism and reasonableness can arouse resonance in the sense of substitution.

And you have to know that writing about games is much easier than writing about details like this.

Therefore, this is why I say that sometimes it takes five, six, seven, eight, or even ten hours to polish a chapter.

Some people say, Qiao, you can write faster, and it doesn’t matter if the quality is a little lower.

But here comes the problem. In this way, maybe my follow-up subscription will be higher, but my average subscription will never be as high as it is now.

Because the reason is very simple.

In this way, many friends who choose to raise first and then slaughter, or those who chase after them all the way, will have an obvious psychological gap when chasing books and re-reading.

I have said that I must write the book to a quality that I can reread several times.

And this kind of quality is by no means as simple as correcting three or two typos.

What chapter, what time point, what kind of plot.

This chapter, what kind of writing method should be used, and whose perspective should it be written from.

In the next chapter, how to carry out the transition and foreshadowing, and how to pick up the transition after the foreshadowing and transition are completed, these are all things that require time and careful polishing.

Therefore...since Qiao suffered a series of blows in reality, for the sake of quality, many times, I really want to communicate with you, but because of poor updates, I don't even dare to log in to QQ.

However, recently, the state has indeed recovered a lot.

So, thank you all readers again for your support! Thank you all handsome readers for giving me so much patience and confidence.

Thanks again.

well, let's get back to business.

Next, let’s talk about the recent foreshadowing.

Some people say, Qiao, your history has become too big, right?

Ugh...

Wake up, if I write about 20 seasons and all the players remain the same, what's the difference between that and asking you to go to a small website to find NBA commentary videos?

Qiao has said before that the biggest problem with sports writing is that after a few seasons of writing, most old readers will be able to write it for you.

But at least for now, I think you will never guess the future of the book Blacksmithing.

I have said that I will not change some people's life trajectories, but I must change some people's life trajectories.

For example, for some reasons, based on my personal guess about reality, Duncan went to the Celtics.

And for some reasons, I painstakingly laid a lot of groundwork for Xiao Yao, and I had talked about this with Shui Qie next door before...

In fact, this idiot actually planned to let Xiao Yao continue to do Mosaic before. I told him directly at that time, Xiao Yao is already like this in your book, why should he go to Mosaic?

Will the appearance of your protagonist bring about changes in history?

So here’s the question, if everything remains the same, then why don’t I just use an indigenous protagonist instead of a time-traveling protagonist?

The reason is very simple. When I was preparing to write about blacksmithing, I had thought that I would follow my own ideas.

In my world, the protagonist has to die, but I also have to respect the intelligence of the other teams and the intelligence of the players at the same time.

Just like Su Feng will improve, Kobe will improve, the Raptors have a luxury package, the Celtics have a new version of the four-star team, and the Lakers have a new Big Three.

There are so many stars of this era written about them, so why not let them have a thrilling brawl?

Write a basketball article that is familiar to you but unfamiliar to you.

This was my original intention when I started the book.

What you are familiar with is this player and this era, but what is unfamiliar to you is my layout and the elusiveness of the next suspense.

Only in this way can I guarantee that when I write about the last season, you still don't know whether Su Feng really wants to retire. This is really the last season of his career.

And you don't know what kind of honors Su Feng will get, and at what point in time, he will become the worthy number one player in the NBA.

Of course, Qiao's ability to come up with so many cool operations is also related to the fact that you provided me with a lot of ideas in the chapter reviews.

Well... I am an author who never copies chapter reviews. I am just a porter of excellent chapter reviews.

In short, I hope I can insist on finishing writing my thoughts, because even if it is a small breakthrough, in Qiao's opinion, this step must be taken.

Otherwise, I will exchange one book for another... I really don’t know if I will still want to write about basketball one day after my passion for basketball has worn off.

So let’s just say the same thing...

Water is not water, to be honest, this thing is in the eyes of the beholder and the wise. Because now I feel that many people have different ideas about "water".

For example, some people just like to watch rich details, while some people just like to watch one game after another.

And just like when I look back at Saint Seiya now, I can't stand it at all.

Because don't you think that Saint Seiya has no routine at all, and many plots and characters that Kurumada wants to create simply cannot be established? (The most important thing is that there are still a lot of bugs.)

On the contrary, in many daily series, although there are not so many punches, I feel the charm of the characters and the attraction of the author's personality to me.

Anyway, that's the same sentence...

When it’s time to jump into the plot, Qiao can finish a season with just a few chapters, but when this season needs to pave the way for my plot, Qiao will spend many chapters to fill in the details, and when I need to be passionate about the second grade, Qiao will also Spend 100,000 words describing a series.

Every plot has its own focus.

And only after stringing together these corresponding key points, just like when I wrote about Jordan joining the Raptors before, you won't find it abrupt...

Only reasonable foreshadowing and inference can allow the plot to proceed smoothly.

Therefore, Qiao has always been a coding tool that cannot be used to express emotions.

I won’t adjust this way of writing, because as I said, it can’t be done just by giving an outline in a few paragraphs.

As the author of Blacksmith, I am even less likely to give up my idea for the sake of some day's results.

therefore......

Thank you very much for your support.

After all, without your support, I would not dare to be so willful and try so many new ideas and cool routines in blacksmithing.

Of course, it's still the same sentence...

As an author, you also have to be pretty!

I can hardly afford to buy pork, and my days have been so miserable recently that I can only look at the yard of my hometown in the countryside, whether there are Pippi shrimps suffering from heat stroke, and Pippi chicken with purple sauce that is depressed...

Cry!

Whew, this wave of misfortunes isn’t it!

I’m asking for monthly votes, and I’m asking for recommended votes!

Those readers who typed "definitely next time", you are pitiful and pretty! Don't "definitely do it next time"!
