For American blacks, that was their worst era, and they are about to usher in their best era.

The echo of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" still echoes the shackles of various ethnic estrangements in the United States, and the blacks are still struggling for their rights. It was an era when secular prejudice believed that only white people could dominate the court. It was an era when countless black men with basketball talents were strangled by racial prejudice. This is their worst time.

A group of black teenagers who were forced to give up their basketball dreams due to racial oppression were inspired by the belief that, of course, and the charisma of Coach Harkins, they returned to their own playing field. Blacks are generally better in physique, and they are suitable for running and sweating on the sports field. I remembered an interesting fact. When I was discussing "Road to Glory" with my group friends in a QQ group, one of the group friends said: "Black people are animals" and he added: "Their genes are too powerful"!

This unprecedented practice of Coach Huggins has caused huge controversy. From public opinion to the pressure of the school management he coaches, he has been hardened by his desire to win! There was also intense friction between the black and white team members of the school team at the beginning, but fortunately, they gradually disappeared as they got along with each other day by day.
There is a clip in the film. When a black player takes a white player to a black party, the white person is also rejected by the black person inside. It seems that the racial struggle was on both sides at the time, but it was clear that the white race provoked it, and the white race had the upper hand.
Under the guidance of coach Hudgens, the Western University team has formed a style similar to the Spurs of today's NBA giants-selfless, simple, and team. Even though they are all very talented, they have suppressed their urge to play singles.
They played triumphant songs all the way, kept rushing, setting records time and time again. However, when they became famous, racist threats also followed. They withstood various despicable means such as beatings and intimidation to reach the NCAA Finals!
The opponent in the finals was Kansas, the veteran team, and the film gave half an hour to this section.
Coach Huggins received a threatening letter, and her wife Mary said sadly: Even though basketball is all of our lives, it is just a game. Is it really worth it? Hudgens calmly replied: Now it's not just a game as simple as that! Before the finals, he heard the opposing coach's arrogant remarks in the toilet, "It is impossible for a few niggas to beat the white man." He deeply felt that this was not just a question of whether to win the championship, it was related to the dignity of the black race.
After careful consideration, Coach Huggins decided that only black players would play in the finals. Almost all black people are watching this game for equality. On the court, all the black players went crazy, their momentum completely overwhelmed their opponent Kentucky. When the tactics were suspended, the black players were shouting "snatch it over" and "snatch it over." The timeout is over, Hill of Western University has the ball, the time counts down 10 9 8... The ball is scored, and Western University won. The blacks won, the era of whites dominating the stadium is over, and the era of blacks showing off their talents on the stadium has begun! Without this epoch-making ball game, without this group of people who made history, the situation where blacks dominate the basketball court may not appear today.
Those who don’t watch the ball see this movie as a story, and everyone who understands the ball knows that this is called history. Because of them, I have Kobe Bryant that I love!
