Chapter 56: I'm waiting for you in the national competition
In the Beijing HOOPLACE basketball hall, bright and soft LED lights illuminate this venue that has been visited by countless celebrities.
On the maple-paved field, 10 corporate executives who don't know how to play basketball are sweating freely.
After the fierce battle in the first four quarters, after 35 minutes, almost all the male leaders of both companies played the game.
People changed wave after wave, but the score was still in a stalemate, and Hengsheng temporarily led with a score of 26-24.
These leaders, who are usually used to sitting in the office, in addition to walking with the ball, shooting three times, and hugging people behind their backs, plus the referee also knows the current affairs and does not blow the whistle, they are quite happy, and the picture in front of them is a bit like a kindergarten child shooting a ball.
Employees in the HR departments of both companies frantically pressed the camera shutters, trying to leave rare and precious images for these leaders.
Lin Dingqiang, who was sitting on the sidelines, was wearing a basketball uniform issued by the company, but what was different from others was the pair of sneakers under his feet.
Late last night, Lin Dingqiang, who was preparing to fall asleep, suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, but after opening the door, there was only one shoebox in front of him.
He opened the shoebox and saw that it was a pair of AJ with paint painted with the Slam Dunk figure.
What Lin Dingqiang didn't expect was that the character on the white sneakers was not the Rukawa Kaede he always boasted of, but the self-proclaimed genius Sakuragi Hanamichi.
The paint on the sneakers hadn't completely dried, as if they had just been painted. The white sneakers are deliberately painted with red and black lines, and the image of Sakuragi Hanamichi is even more vivid, and you can tell at a glance that the person who painted must have practiced it.
Lin Dingqiang looked at the closed door opposite his house, wondering if Xin Qing was watching his reaction through the cat's eye on the door.
After a while, Lin Dingqiang took out his mobile phone and sent a thank you to Xin Qing.
However, this night, Xin Qing did not reply to any messages.
And now Xin Qing, who is on the sidelines, she is sitting with Zhao Lei, thinking that it will be a wonderful basketball game, but no one expected that this game would be full of urine spots.
There was a feeble snatch, a giggling laugh, and even after conceding a goal, there was no effort to catch up, and there was no revelry after the goal.
With five minutes left before the end of the game, the referee blew the whistle for a timeout, signaling for a substitution.
The sweaty leaders walked off the field with a smile, and Zhou Guanglong was so panting that he didn't even have the strength to drink water.
"Xiaolin!" Zhou Guanglong relied on his old leader of RD, and said with anticipation: "In the remaining 5 minutes, you and Zhang Xiaohui have to play well!"
Zhang Xiaohui almost fell asleep next to Lin Dingqiang, and when he heard someone suddenly call his name, he woke up in an instant, and looked at Zhou Guanglong who was sweating.
This was supposed to be a show competition, just like the last time the group went to the welfare home, there were more adults than children, just for a few photos used for publicity.
As for the win or loss of the game, I'm afraid no one counts. After all, these leaders just want to come out to play in the name of the company, and this game will also become a topic of conversation at the networking luncheon later.
Lin Dingqiang, who had been sitting on the cold bench for so long, stood up, he was really a bit of a panache in a basketball uniform, and he looked a lot better than the others present, "No problem!"
Zhang Xiaohui followed closely, "Boss, I'll block it for you later!"
Lin Dingqiang laughed, "Okay!
"Then you fight first! A few of our old guys will go to change their clothes!" Zhou Guanglong instructed: "The hot spring ticket for the weekend depends on a few of you boys!"
The winner of this match will receive 30 hot spring tickets, and everyone present will have a share, which is fair.
The whistle blew again, and Lin Dingqiang was in a group, in addition to Zhang Xiaohui, there were three big men from the logistics department.
After the restart, Lin Ding jumped and got the ball.
He quickly glanced at his teammates around him, the short Zhang Xiaohui kept waving his hand, and Lin Dingqiang passed the ball over, but no one thought that Zhang Xiaohui, who was good at playing games, seemed to pull his crotch for basketball.
Seeing the ball flying quickly, Zhang Xiaohui actually slipped his hand, and was snatched by Longsheng's people.
Seeing this, Lin Dingqiang and the other three rushed to their own half, and in order to maintain the lead of two points, Lin Dingqiang ran vigorously, and the sound of friction between the sneakers and the floor finally sounded after waiting for 35 minutes.
This group of people who have been going back and forth between the wine table and the desk all day after graduating from college, although they are much faster than the group of middle-aged men, but their hands have long been born.
The Longsheng employee with the ball jumped outside the three-point line, wanting to turn the situation around with a perfect three-point shot, but what he didn't expect was that Lin Dingqiang had already appeared in front of him.
At the moment of the shot, Lin Ding jumped up and ended the counterattack with a beautiful hot pot.
......
The two sides went back and forth, and finally after Lin Dingqiang hit two free throws, Hengsheng won the victory with a score of 37-32.
Xin Qing, who was sitting on the sidelines, thought there was still a section, but when she heard the referee announce the end of the game, her mouth pursed slightly.
"Mr. Xin, we won!" Zhao Lei waved her hand happily, in her opinion, as long as her company can win, it is a great thing, and she is even happier to get a free hot spring ticket.
Xin Qing let out a long sigh and said faintly: "It's good to win!"
"Aren't you happy?" Zhao Lei looked at Xin Qing suspiciously.
Xin Qing forced a smile at this time, "Happy!
Zhang Xiaohui ran over, "Boss, you are amazing!"
Lin Ding stood tall and glanced at Xin Qing's back in a flash, and then said, "You're too vegetable, aren't you! Can't catch the ball?"
"I haven't played in a long time!" Zhang Xiaohui scratched his head embarrassedly, "I used to be in college, but I was a point guard!"
Lin Dingqiang waved his hand, "It's blowing here again!Okay, change your clothes and eat!"
About fifteen minutes later, everyone in the stadium was gone, and Lin Dingqiang sat alone on the sidelines, holding a basketball in his hand, looking at the sneakers on his feet, and didn't say anything for a long time.
The staff thought that everyone was gone and was about to turn off the lights, but looking at Lin Dingqiang on the sidelines, he had no intention of leaving, and came forward to ask: "Sir, the game is over." ”
Lin Dingqiang nodded and returned the basketball to the staff, "Okay." ”
But he hadn't taken a few steps before he turned around and asked, "How much does it cost to charter a venue here?"
"2000 an hour. The staff replied.
Lin Dingqiang thought for a while, "Then I'll pack it for another hour." ”
"Now?"
"yes, where to pay?"
Lin Ding couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and sent a message to Xin Qing, "Come and play? I'm waiting for you in the national competition!"
