"The punishment decision is out!" At this time, in the multimedia classroom of the Chinese school, Cui Maixiang called a meeting of all the members of the Chinese team.

"What's the result?" Yang Yujia asked eagerly.

"Liu Tiange is suspended for two games!" Cui Maixiang said.

"What! is it still a ban!"

"Damn, it's really ruthless!"

"In that case, how are we going to play the next game?"

"Damn, it's obvious that the Australian team did the first thing, why should we be punished, they should be punished!"

"Is it useful to punish them, they have been eliminated by us, can you use your brains!"

……

The team members said one after another, only Liu Tiange sat at the end and said nothing.

"We are going to play against the French team in the next round, Yu Fei in our team needs to rest for at least one game due to a slight concussion, and it is estimated that it will take at least two games before he can play again, and Liu Tiange is banned for two games, as I said just now, so it will be really difficult for us to play against France. Cui Maixiang said.

"Maizi, actually, I'm fine, just have a day off, and the day after tomorrow, I'm no problem at all. Yu Fei said loudly at this time.

"I don't count when you play, and it doesn't matter if you say it, it only happens if the team doctor signs. Cui Maixiang said.

"Well, the doctor surnamed Wang will definitely not sign for me, that's an old fashion, what can I do?" Yu Fei said speechlessly.

"The main thing is that we don't have a consistent three-point output in the next game. Yang Yujia said.

This is just one of the problems, the French team's point guard Paulo De Colo is super fast, hailed as France's new sports car, Tony Parker's successor, in the game against Argentina, he alone scored 21 points, 9 assists and 0 turnovers, very efficient. Cui Maixiang said.

"Then I have to play even more, wait a minute, I'll go to Dr. Wang!" Yu Fei finished speaking, and hurriedly pushed the door and ran out.

"Hey, Xiaofei, ...... you wait" Yang Yujia wanted to call him back, but he couldn't see his shadow anymore.

"I'll go, he shouldn't do anything stupid!" Ren Zhonglong said.

"Don't worry, he can't find Dr. Wang today. Cui Maixiang said.

"Really, what did Dr. Wang do?" Ren Zhonglong asked.

"Dr. Wang went to the hospital in Liverpool today for an inspection, and it is estimated that he will come back very late, and even if Dr. Wang is here, he will definitely not sign for him, so don't worry. Cui Maixiang said with a smile, and then saw her turn on the projector on the table.

"I now move on to our next opponent, France, who finished with 92 in the last game: 89 narrowly beat Argentina, in addition to this De Colo scored 21 points, their trump card, that is, small forward Rudy Graal scored 30 points plus 7 rebounds, this person is a very terrible opponent, so we will have a lot of pressure in the small forward position, and their center is Anthony Tost, who is 2.10 meters tall, moves fast, averages 3.1 blocks per game, and in the position of scoring guard, they also have a defensive expert like Nick Allen of the Australian team, called Jim Gajette, the only thing he is better than Nick Allen is that he has a certain long-range projection abilityUnder his defense, Argentina's ace Carlos Prigioni made a whopping 4 turnovers. Cui Maixiang pointed to the video on the curtain and said.

"Why are there still black players in the French team?" asked Zhang Zhixin, pointing to Rudy Glaal and Jim Ghajert.

"It's normal, even the French national team has a lot of black people now, Tony Parker's dad is black, and there are people like Petrus and Batum. Yang Yujia said.

"Brother Yang, it seems that you know a lot. Zhang Zhixin said with a smile.

"Hmph, what's the big deal!" Liu Tiange said disdainfully.

"Against the French team, this is the first time I've played against a black player!" Yang Yujia said, looking at the curtain.

"Me too......" Zhuo Nanhu also said at this time.

"It's my first time too. Sun Zhaoting also said.

A lot of people here are playing against black players for the first time, and the atmosphere is a little tense.

"I think the most experienced players in playing with black people here should be Zifeng and Xu Ning. Cui Maixiang looked at Yang Zifeng and Xu Ning, who were calm, and said, "When the two of them were in junior high school, they participated in several international competitions, big and small, right?" ”

"Maizi, how do you know?" Yang Zifeng said in surprise.

"Hehe, I know what happened to each of you before, otherwise I can be your coach, you two tell us about it, right?" Cui Maixiang said with a smile.

"Okay, senior brother, you can talk about it first!" Yang Zifeng said to Xu Ning at this time.

"Yes, then I'll start with it, black athletes have very good physical fitness, very strong explosiveness, if you don't pay attention, they will humiliate you on the head, their dribbling is fast and varied, and the speed is also super fast, if the only flaw can be found, it is that the shooting is not very good, a lot of the balls that should be scored can't be thrown, but this is also relative to those players who played against us in junior high school. Xu Ning said.

"Then, we can just let them on the periphery, right?" Yang Yujia asked.

"Absolutely not. Yang Zifeng said at this time, "The black players we played against at that time were only in junior high school, but in high school, they will improve very quickly in shooting, especially in recent years, when the Warriors whirlwind is blowing so fiercely, more and more black players begin to like to shoot on the periphery." ”

"Then wouldn't they have no weaknesses?" Ren Zhonglong said in surprise.

"It's not a lot of production, otherwise it's all blacks who dominate the NBA right now. Xu Ning said with a smile.

"The reason why I asked Zi Feng and Xu Ning to tell you this is to let you know what the opponent we are about to face is like. Cui Maixiang said to everyone at this time.

"Yes, but in fact, when we say this, it doesn't mean that we can't win them, some things may be innate, we can't force them, but more of them are acquired by us, for example, Curry, who is 191 cm tall in the Warriors, although he is also black, but his physical fitness may not be as good as one of our CBA players, but why can he win the MVP? His shooting is also practiced over time, and for example, Jeremy Lin in Asia, although he is often injured, but when he starts the game, he often scores double-doubles. Xu Ning said with a smile.

"That's good, the important thing is not the race issue, the important thing is what kind of person you want to be, what kind of achievement you want to achieve or where your heart is, if your goal is CBA, then your highest achievement is CBA, maybe you can't reach it, if your goal is to become the next Jordan or the next Kobe, Curry and so on, then you will have a lot more opportunities in the future. Cui Maixiang said to everyone seriously.

Everyone nodded......

"Hey, Maizi, where is Dr. Wang, why can't I find him everywhere?"

Seeing Yu Fei's anxious appearance, everyone laughed......

"How was your match against Serbia today?" asked Yang Zifeng on the playground of Liverpool University of Technology.

"Hehe, it was dangerous to win by two points, and their star player, Anna Dabovic, almost scored the last three-pointer, which scared me half to death. He Yitong said with a smile.

"In this case, you will officially enter the top 4, right?" Yang Zifeng said.

He Yitong nodded.

"I saw from the Internet, you are simply amazing in this game, 31 points, 10 assists, plus 3 steals, the light completely covers your star player Zhuang Yan. Yang Zifeng looked at her and said.

"Hahaha, in fact, to be honest, after this game, ......" He Yitong lowered his voice, "I didn't sleep all night when I was excited. ”

"Looks like you had a hot hand yesterday. Yang Zifeng said.

"yes, to paraphrase Maddie's words, yesterday's basket was like a vast ocean, let me shoot casually, hahaha...... Am I a little too proud!" He Yitong said with a smile covering his mouth.

"It's okay, I remember the first time I scored 20, it was like you, but you have to be careful. Yang Zifeng reminded her at this time.

"Watch out for what?" He Yitong asked.

"Be careful of injuries, especially when you're in a state fire, it's easy to get hurt. Yang Zifeng said.

"Isn't it?" said He Yitong.

"Chances are, some people say it's a curse, but it's actually the result of the opponent increasing the intensity of their defense against you, so you'd better be careful. Yang Zifeng said.

"So that's ......," He Yitong nodded and said.

"Who is your opponent in the next round?" asked Yang Zifeng.

"Spain. He Yitong said.

"So, the Japanese team lost?" Yang Zifeng said in surprise.

He Yitong nodded and said: "They started to play very well yesterday, and they were still in the lead in the first two quarters, but the Spanish team's Tamara Torrens went on a rampage with two consecutive three-pointers and a 2+1 to directly reverse the game. ”

"Tamara Torrance? I think I've heard that name. Yang Zifeng thought for a while and said.

"Yes, she is very good, she is known as the future star of the European women's basketball team, her three-point shooting is accurate, her breakthrough is sharp, and her speed is not below that of Maki Oda. He Yitong said solemnly at this time.

"It seems that Spain is very strong, I thought that the Japanese team could clean up Spain, in this case, you have a better chance of reaching the final, but now it seems that your next game will be very difficult. Yang Zifeng said.

"Yes, it will be a big challenge to play against Spain compared to the Japanese team we are familiar with, but we have achieved what we achieved last year, and we have achieved the goals set this year, even if we lose. He Yitong said with a smile.

"Before you have a game, you have a way out, and although I don't appreciate the idea, it can at least make you less nervous. Yang Zifeng said.

"Actually, it's just me who thinks so, but Senior Sister Zhuang keeps saying every day that let's make history and reach the finals!" He Yitong said.

"I think even if Zhuang Yan doesn't want to go further, Ji Jinru will definitely find a way to let you go further, after all, he is a guy who likes to create miracles. Yang Zifeng said.

"Well, even though Aggie never said what we were aiming for, I could feel it and he wanted us to make history. He Yitong nodded and said.

In the park near the Chinese school, Maki Oda and Xu Ning walked slowly by the river.

"I lost, I broke our agreement. At this time, Oda Maki said in a very sad voice.

"It doesn't matter, you're only in your first year of high school, and you'll have opportunities in the future. Xu Ning said with a smile.

"But what about you, you probably won't be coming back next year......" Oda Maki whispered.

"Yes, I can say that I am now a junior in high school, and I will graduate this summer. Xu Ning said.

"Why can't you be born a year later? Maki Oda whispered.

"Are you leaving?" asked Xu Ning.

"Yes, the coach booked us a plane ticket for tomorrow...... "Maki Oda said.

"Really? Take care on the way. Xu Ning said with a smile, although he was smiling on his lips, but there was a feeling of emptiness in his heart.

"But ......," Oda Maki said with a sudden smile, "I won't leave tomorrow!"

"Huh, what?" Xu Ning couldn't understand a little.

"They're leaving, I'm not leaving, hahaha......" Oda Maki said with a smile.

"What's the situation, why can't I understand it?" Xu Ning said with some confusion.

"My uncle was a teacher at the Riwa School in the neighborhood, so I lived with him. Maki Oda said.

"Then won't you have to go back by yourself?" Xu Ning said.

"No, I brought Miyoko and Junko to live with me at my aunt's house, and when the World Championships are over, the three of us will go back together. Oda Maki looked at Xu Ning and said.

"Yes, that's not bad......" Xu Ning said with a smile.

"In the future, I can go and cheer for Xu Jun in every game with peace of mind. Oda Maki said at this time by the arm of Xu Ningdi.

"You stayed just to watch me play?" Xu Ning looked at her and couldn't help but say with some emotion.

"Yes, I'm just watching you compete, Miyoko and Junko are not, the two of them just want to have a good visit abroad, and then go back to show off. Maki Oda said.

"Is it worth it for you to do this?" Xu Ning said as he looked at Oda Maki.

"As long as it's what I want to do, it's worth it. Oda said with a smile.

People from two different countries, standing by the river in a foreign country, feel different springs......
