B Jordan took a deep breath as he looked in at the basketball court. “Maybe today I’ll make history,” he thought. Before the game, Jordan looked over a special program (记录单). It listed the winners of each championship game and the top scorers. He stopped when he read the name of the top scorer from a game 30 years before. “Devin, look!” he said to his friend, “You see who has the all-time record? My dad! 24 points! But he never told me that!” “24 points?” Devin said. “That’s great.” Jordan’s best was 19 points. He was the league’s top scorer. When his parents showed up at the gym, Jordan brought the program over to them. His dad laughed. “I had quite a game that day,” he said. “But look at the score. I prefer to give away all my points for a win.” Jordan didn’t notice his dad’s team had lost by one point in that game. As game time came near, Jordan slapped hands (击掌) with his teammates and started to warm up. The court filled up quickly. Jordan felt strangely calm. He’d played so many games in this gym that it was like his own home. Jordan had led his team to beat the Lions last season. Why shouldn’t today be like that? Jordan became more confident when he hit the first 2 shots (投篮). The Lions called a break (叫暂停). “Great start,” Coach said. “But those guys are tough. They’ll come back on us.” He was right. By half-time, the Lions had pulled ahead (反超), 27-24. Jordan looked up at his parents. His dad nodded and called, “Great work!” But Jordan didn’t feel as confident as before. 11 seconds left. The scoreboard was clear: LIONS:51. BADGERS: 51. Coach told Jordan to bring the ball up the court. “Look for Devin inside, but take the shot if you’re open.” Jordan looked at his dad again. His dad pointed to Jordan, then held up two fingers on one hand and three fingers on the other. “Me?” Jordan mouthed. Dad nodded. Jordan had scored 23 points. Another shot would break the record. And it was the right time to do it! Jordan moved right, then left, but he was still a long way from the basket. The viewers started counting the seconds, “Four… three… two.” Jordan prepared to shoot. As the Lions rushed toward him, he passed the ball to Devin. Devin turned and shot. The ball fell cleanly through the net for the winning points.

However, a recent article says that Chinese musicals are losing their best state (状态) as the “South Korean idol (偶像) culture” has been introduced to the market. This has led to a boom (繁荣) in the musical industry, but it could not last long. The article said that fans are buying tickets not for truly loving musicals but just as an act to support their “idols”. Zhang and Luo Luo, a cultural investor (资方), disagreed with the views in the article. “Any culture needs guiding correctly,” Luo said. “And it’s our duty to lead the right way.” She thinks the fans’ love of the performers allows them to discover the charm of musicals. Moreover, the money brought in through tickets will make it possible to produce more excellent original works, which will finally turn these fans into real musical lovers. High-quality original works, mentioned many times during the interview with Zhang and Luo, as well as loyal fans matter most in the development of Chinese musical industry. “We hope to create great original pieces that tell the story of both famous and common people who are longing for better life, in the hope that they would bring out the best in human beings.” Zhang said. Musical fan Han, who has watched several foreign musicals, said that she has been looking forward to wonderful China-made musicals that reach the same level of quality as her favorites form the West.
