A "Slam Dunk" has influenced countless young boys to enter the basketball court, and some girls in the cardamom age cheer for them! Looking back on the past, how did "Slam Dunk" slowly enter people's hearts? Make you fall in love with this sport that revolves around dreams? Let us turn on the youth projector and take you back to that scorching summer to feel the heat of youth!
From comics to animation: the past and present of "Slam Dunk"
and most people who saw "Slam Dunk first, see the same " are not friends Takehiko Inoue teacher's manga just like basketball. This comic published by China Overseas Chinese Publishing House was called " basketball trapeze ". Those who liked "Dragon Ball" and " Yuyu Hakusho " should know that fighting comics is the mainstream of the pirated comics market. The plot of this kind of aggressive comics obviously does not conform to the socialist values and the direction of parents to nurture their children. So inspirational and pollution-free comics like "Basketball Flyers" are even more unique in it.
At that time, Chinese young boys had three major activities after school: bookstore, arcade hall and billiard room. Generally near the school, you must be able to find the secret location of these three major entertainment facilities in a hidden corner. For the majority of students and friends, comics and novels may be their favorite reading besides textbooks. They will spend a dollar or two to borrow home comics or novels from the bookstore. Sometimes, the plot that was not finished the night before always affects the heart of the teenager.So he was taken to the class to read secretly, and an accidentally, the teacher's "magic claws" ripped from him. Then your comics or novels are either confiscated or broken into pieces. And the dozens of deposits you had in the hands of the bookstore owner have since "missed".
If comics and novels satisfy teenagers’ imaginations of feuds and fights. Then, the arcade hall and the billiard room (some places combine the two) should be the most suitable place for students to vent their youthful blood. There are 1VS1 fights like "Street Fighter" and " King of Fighters ", as well as cooperation with BOSS teams like "Three Kingdoms" and "Dinosaurs Kombat". The rules of the billiards room are quite different. You can invite your friends to practice together. If you feel that you have improved, you can also learn skills with friends you don’t know. Of course, it is only natural for the loser to pay. However, there are also some illegal gambling behaviors. Therefore, our country began to rectify and gradually ban it in accordance with the law.
In addition to the above activities, the favorite thing for Chinese teenagers after school was to lie on the sofa at home and watch cartoons on TV comfortably. However, the country is extremely strict when it comes to introducing animation works adapted from comics. In terms of fighting animation, through layers of screening, the country has introduced a "Saint Seiya" adapted from the classic comics of Mr. Masami Sakata , allowing everyone to appreciate the perfect combination of ancient Greek mythology and constellations. Because the film has a correct socialist value, that is, justice will defeat evil. It is through this belief in victory that our country has overcome the double encirclement and suppression of imperialism and the Kuomintang reactionaries and established a great new socialist China.
With the gradual popularity of TV sets, VCDs and DVDs,People need different cultural products to meet diverse psychological needs. The country has also struggled with the introduction of cartoons. Although animation works like "Saint Seiya" and " Fist of the North Star " promote the concept of justice over evil, they also breed undesirable side effects such as fighting for strength and fighting. Of course, this was also related to the Hong Kong and Taiwan movies and TV series that appeared on the chaotic pirated market at that time. The "Young and Dangerous" series of movies and a series of martial arts dramas such as Jin Yong and Gulong undoubtedly make the plot of gang vendetta into the hearts of some inexperienced teenagers. So is there a cartoon that can not only promote positive values, but also display the passion of young people? "Slam Dunk" therefore came into being.
The introduction of "Slam Dunk" and the influence of NBA
actually started playing basketball in the first two years. Flat open space. So there is no free throw line and three-point line on the field. The understanding of basketball rules is also known from the comics of "Basketball Flyers". Later, I saw the NBA broadcast on CCTV and witnessed the miraculous performance of NBA stars such as Michael Jordan, Kobe , Iverson, and so on, so I completely fell in love with the sport of basketball. However, the spread of comics and the NBA is limited after all, and the rise of basketball in the country has not been long. So the influence in China is not as great as football. The full broadcast of the "Slam Dunk" cartoon changed this situation, causing some students who like to play games and billiards after school to move to the battlefield, setting off a climax of the nation's youth entering the basketball court.
Then, Why is "Slam Dunk" able to set off such a huge wave in the calm ocean of basketball? I think there are three reasons:
(1) Animation has a bigger audience than comics
The money goes to the bookstore to borrow books, and it can also escape the teacher's "Nine Yin Claws". (Just kidding!) Those who didn't know about comics and the NBA before can watch this inspirational basketball cartoon directly on the TV at home. And those students who have seen the comics not only revisit the plot of the comics through the cartoon, but also can show off and spoil the plot behind with the new students. What a joy to be recognized by others for something you like! However, the disadvantage of knowing the direction of the plot is that it complains that the speed of the animation is too slow, especially the recollection of some players. It takes several episodes to return to the main story.
( 2) The animated characters have distinctive personalities, and everyone has their own favorite character
has a different personality in "Span 6span" The color, and even some supporting roles are impressive. This is where Mr. Inoue Takehiko is great. The same is high school life, these new students can bring themselves into cartoon characters. Those students who are already very good at basketball think of themselves as Rukawa Kaede .Many girls like "Slam Dunk" mostly because of the cold male god Rukawa Kaede. Of course, Mitsui and Sendo are also very popular. Most of the new students who have just entered the pit are basketball beginners, and they naturally lead themselves into the role of Sakuragi Flower Road. They are desperately honing their skills on the basketball court like Sakuragi Flower Road chasing Rukawa Kaede, hoping to get the attention of school girls.
(3) Enhancing the friendship between classmates and sparking discussion throughout the school
108 episodes of "Slam Dunk" are broadcasted on TV at the speed of one episode a day. Every day after class and lunch break, we will see the boys and girls in the school class gather to discuss the animation plot of the previous day. Sometimes I'm even arguing about my favorite role. The jersey numbers of the players have also become the object of competition for the class basketball players. Speaking of jersey numbers, the student numbers in general classes are ranked according to academic performance. So those students with excellent grades firmly occupy the number of the main players in "Slam Dunk". It is also interesting: In addition to Akagi Okaken, the academic performance of the main players of the Xiangbei basketball team is really hard to say!
In short, the appearance of "Slam Dunk" has set off a wave of learning basketball in Chinese campuses for a period of time. It was this trend that nurtured the first generation of fans in China who liked "Slam Dunk" and the NBA. They unconsciously regard the Bulls as their home team, Jordan as Rukawa Kaede, and Rodman as Sakuragi Flower Road. As the craze for "Slam Dunk" fades, watching the NBA on CCTV5 every year has become the life habit of this generation of fans. After Michael Jordan retired,The Bull Dynasty fell apart. With the rise of the new generation of NBA stars, we fell in love with Kobe, Iverson, Carter and Tracy . Chinese player Yao Ming After entering the NBA, his strong patriotism and national pride made the Houston Rockets the home team of Chinese fans, setting off a new wave of basketball and also attracted some basketball players onto the court. They fell in love with basketball as the fans who watched "Slam Dunk" back then. Since then, every summer, when we see those sweaty, passionate teenagers on the basketball court, we will recall the happiness brought to us by "Slam Dunk" and the youthful basketball time we used to be.
