2022-01-11 08:03
William Gates and Arthur Agie are two black teenagers living in Chicago's old city. They have the same dream at the age of 14-to play in the NBA. Their families also hope that they can enter the NBA, in order to change the destiny of the family's poverty.
High school. Arthur is very talented in basketball. He was recommended by scouts to enter St. Joseph's High School, where NBA star Isiah Thomas was trained, under the guidance of Coach Pinalto. Gates, who also has a basketball talent, grew up in a single-parent family, and he had high hopes when he was a mother. He was also recommended to the same high school. Because of his outstanding performance, Gates joined the school basketball team in his first year of high school and was very appreciated by Coach Pin Yatto. Gates' excellent performance has attracted widespread attention from sports critics and the media, and is considered the next Isaiah. Arthur joined the freshman basketball team. Coach Pinatto felt that although Arthur was very talented, he still lacked some of the qualities that a good athlete should have.
Sophomore. The school raised tuition fees, and both children were facing a crisis. Fortunately, Gates won a couple of funding with his superb skills, and he will be able to finish high school for free. Arthur was not so lucky, was ordered to drop out of school, so he transferred to a public high school-Marshall Metropolitan High School, and joined the high school basketball team. Misfortunes never come singly. His mother lost her job as a nurse assistant due to a backache, and his father ran away from home. The whole family can only live on government relief funds. At Marshall Metropolitan High School, Arthur spent most of his energy on basketball and improved his skills, but his academic performance still did not improve.
Senior three. Gates, who performed well, entered the field of vision of many college basketball teams and received many invitations. During the training, Gates injured the soft tissue of the knee joint and had to undergo surgery, which also affected his training, competition and study. After Arthur joined the school team, his skills improved by leaps and bounds, but his family life was still struggling. His father lost his way and knew how to return. During this period, he was sentenced to 7 months in jail for theft and was forced to give up drugs in prison.
Senior four. Both of them began to make plans for their whereabouts after graduation. Although the St. Joseph High School basketball team that Gates played for had a poor record this season, it did not block Gates' glory. Invitation letters from various universities flew like snow flakes. Finally, after the whole family weighed in, Gates signed a contract with Markey University. With his superb skills, Arthur became the main force of the Marshall team. After winning the championship of the Chicago Public High School League, Arthur led the team to create an interstate third place. This is the best performance of the Marshall High School basketball team in history. Contributions are indispensable. Arthur's outstanding performance also caused many universities to invite him, and finally entered the college in Missouri mining area.
Gates took his wife and daughter to settle in Markai University. In the fall, Gates is preparing to withdraw from the team and does not plan to go to school. But with the encouragement of his family, after Markai University promised to provide scholarships, he decided to stay. Arthur also had two children, after graduating from college mine, he went to the University of Arkansas, the heyday of the skills he still dreamed of NB A  .

    We will all grow old, wrist guards will become watches, finger guards will become wedding rings, jerseys will become suits, basketballs will become briefcases, and one day we will be too old to play basketball, but we still Will be persistent, faith will never fade, right?

Hoop Dreams quotes

  • Self - William's Brother: I know a whole lot about basketball. I guess, in so many words, I feel like I'm a pro at that in my mind.

  • William Gates: I give my mother $50 out of my checks. You know, all that she done done for me, I don't think that there'll ever be enough that I can give to pay her back. Unless I make the pros and I'm pretty sure I can pay her back.
