Chapter 40: A New Coach, A New Hope

At 5 o'clock in the morning, Yang Zifeng got up early again and walked out of the hotel to the street, it was still early at this time, and there were not many people on the street.

"Morning, Zifeng!" At this time, He Yitong's voice came from behind Yang Zifeng.

"Morning! Yang Zifeng turned her head and looked at He Yitong with a smile, but Yang Zifeng suddenly noticed that He Yitong's eyes were a little red, although they had been washed with water, they still couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes.

"Why, I didn't sleep well last night?" Yang Zifeng asked.

He Yitong nodded.

"Think about it, you lose, it's not because of your strength, it's because of improper command, Yitong, I don't blame you for this matter. Yang Zifeng said with a smile.

"But this is the first time I've experienced the feeling of being embarrassed by the country, and it's really uncomfortable..."He Yitong said in a low voice.

"Everyone will experience some failures, but it's good not to become a habit!" Yang Zifeng said with a smile.

Hearing Yang Zifeng's words, He Yitong couldn't help but smile, and his mood suddenly improved.

"Yitong, I want to ask you something?" Yang Zifeng said suddenly at this time.

"What's the matter?" He Yitong asked.

"If you forget about the victory, the honor, the surrounding environment, and put all your focus on the game, can you do that?" Yang Zifeng asked.

"How is this possible?" He Yitong said as he looked at Yang Zifeng.

"In that case, you might be able to improve your game. Yang Zifeng said with a smile.

"Really?" asked He Yitong.

"This trick was taught to me by Ji Zhenru..."Yang Zifeng said.

"Aggie... , I don't know how he is now, I heard Mai Xiang say that he didn't report to the university, nor did he accept invitations from various professional teams, I really don't know what he's doing now. He Yitong said.

"I think he should do what he wants, he's a weirdo, but he's also a genius. Yang Zifeng said.

"That's right, Zifeng, who is your first-round opponent?" He Yitong asked.

"We were in Group B with Singapore, Lebanon and Taiwan, and our opponents in the first round were Singapore!" Yang said.

"Then are you a starter?" He Yitong said.

"Probably not, because when Maizi arranged the task this time, he didn't ask me too much, and he didn't talk to me alone, so I guess I shouldn't be in the starting line-up. Yang Zifeng said.

"No, how could there be no you, you are the rookie king this year?" He Yitong said in surprise.

"Maizi said that if you play a weak team, you can use our second-tier players. Yang Zifeng said.

"I see, you can't take the enemy lightly. He Yitong reminded Yang Zifeng.

"Don't worry, Maizi is much more reliable than your coach. Yang Zifeng said with a smile.

"yes, it would have been nice if our coach had been Mai Xiang. He Yitong said in a low voice.

"It seems that when you had the summary meeting last night, your coach didn't do my review. Yang Zifeng said.

"No, our summary meeting is an internal summary meeting, how do you know?" He Yitong looked at Yang Zifeng in surprise.

"Judging by the way you look, if he had done a self-examination, you wouldn't have frowned and looked sad. Yang Zifeng said with a smile.

"Well, you really guessed right, Zifeng, the coach of yesterday's summary meeting didn't mention his own mistakes at all, except that we didn't focus on defense and didn't have good psychological quality. He Yitong said.

"Sometimes some people know their mistakes, but they have a lot of lies and attribute their mistakes to other reasons, in order to let everyone know that they are very powerful and omnipotent, in fact, this kind of person lives a very tiring life. Yang Zifeng said.

"You're right, Zifeng, do you know, in addition to this incident, there is another thing that I feel very troubled about. He Yitong said.

"Say, let's see if I can help you?" Yang Zifeng said with a smile.

"Mitsuki, she's gone!" He Yitong said.

"No, I thought that yesterday's incident was over!" Yang Zifeng said in surprise.

"She and the coach have never been very harmonious, and when we got up this morning, we couldn't see her anymore, except that she left us a letter. When He Yitong said this, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"What did she write in the letter?" Yang Zifeng asked.

She said that she had despaired of basketball, and there was a big gap between it and the strongest team of Chinese high school students in her heart, so she booked a ticket back to China in advance, and wanted to go back to her alma mater to finish her studies and get into a good university. He Yitong said in a low voice.

"Yes......" Yang Zifeng also sighed, indeed, in China, talking about ideals is basically unrealistic, because it is often at least three times more difficult to realize dreams there than imagined.

"Okay, I don't want to do so much, let's go for a run!" He Yitong said with a smile.

"Well, let's go, let's go, how about we run in the direction of the rising sun today?" Yang Zifeng said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go meet her ascension!" He Yitong said with a smile.

"Let's go!"

The two of them smiled and ran in the direction of the east, every day is a new day, as long as the sun rises, there is new hope...

In the afternoon, the Chinese women's team practiced in the training hall, and the Chinese team at this time was lifeless and demoralized, and Zhao Meiyue was missing among them.

"Hey, you guys are so lifeless, no matter how we play in the game behind us, cheer me up!" Zhuang Yan said loudly at this time, although her voice was very loud, she could clearly feel her lack of confidence.

When the other team members heard this, none of them squeaked.

"The captain is right, we only lost one game, and it was still in the group stage, so we can't admit defeat so easily, as long as we play hard, we will definitely have a chance to face off against the Japanese team!" He Yitong also said loudly at this time.

However, except for He Yitong who responded to Zhuang Yan, everyone else did not squeak.

"Coach, you can also say a few words!" Zhuang Yan looked at Wu Tang who was sitting on the sidelines and said.

"I've already thought about it!" At this time, Wu Tang stood up and said, "This time we mainly focus on training, after all, we are mostly newcomers, and it doesn't matter if we win or lose!"

"What!" Zhuang Yan and He Yitong shouted at the same time, and the others still didn't react.

"Didn't you two hear clearly, focusing on military training, it doesn't matter what the ranking is, after all, we have a lot of new players!" Wu Tang said.

"However, the Japanese team is also a new player, and their defender Maki Oda is still a first-year high school!" He Yitong said.

"Coach, I don't accept this reason!" Zhuang Yan said.

"It doesn't matter if you accept it or not, as long as the people accept it!" Wu Tang said.

"You ......" He Yitong has an urge to trample Wu Tang to death.

"Crack, crack, crack!" Just when everyone was feeling helpless, there was a sudden sound of applause at the entrance of the training hall.

"Who is there, don't you know that we are training in a closed space!" Wu Tang said loudly as he glared at the door.

At this time, a familiar voice came from He Yitong, and I saw that voice say: "I am moved by the good intentions of Coach Wu!"

"Aji!" He Yitong shouted in surprise.

I saw that this person was none other than the ace of the basketball team who had just graduated from Tianhe High School: Ji Zhenru!

"It's you!" Zhuang Yan shouted loudly.

Ji Zhenru smiled and nodded.

"Who is this man?"

"Are you stupid, he's the famous No. 1 high school student, Ji Zhenru!"

"Wow, you look so handsome!"

"He's Ji Jinru!"

"How did he come here?"

The team members all said.

"I don't care who you are, people who have nothing to do with our team, please go out automatically. Wu Tang glared at Ji Zhenru and said.

Ji Zhenru just smiled and didn't speak, but behind him, another voice came that was familiar to all the women's basketball players:

"It should be you who should go out, Wu Tang!"

"Coach!" all the women's basketball players shouted excitedly.

The person standing behind Ji Zhenru is none other than Li Xi, the head coach of the second team of the women's training camp!

When the team members saw Li Xi, it was like seeing their relatives and saviors, and they all ran towards Li Xi!

"Coach, why are you here?"

"I miss you so much, Coach!"

"Coach, did you come out to see me?"

"Are you here to replace Coach Wu?"

The female team members surrounded Li Xi in the middle and said.

"You're all wrong!" said Lixi, glaring at them.

At this time, Ji Jinru couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I heard that you lost to Japan in the first game, so I came all the way to teach you a lesson! Zhuang Yan, let me talk about you first! As the captain, after losing, not only did you not comfort and comfort the players of your own team, but you gave up on yourself, do you think you are qualified as the captain!" Li Xi said loudly to Zhuang Yan.

"Giving up on ourselves, isn't it, coach, did my senior sister encourage us just now?" He Yitong said.

"Yes, you ask herself, is that what she thinks in her heart!" Li Xi snapped.

"I'm sorry coach, I didn't take on the responsibility of being a captain!" Zhuang Yan said in a low voice.

"Senior sister..."He Yitong looked at Zhuang Yan, she still had a hard time believing that Zhuang Yan would really give up on himself.

"And you, Feng Fei, where did your pungent heart go, playing like a good baby in the last game, is this the way you usually play!" At this time, Li Xi looked at Lin Fengfei with a fierce gaze.

"I..." Lin Fengfei also lowered his head at this time.

"A female player, if she is not spicy or competitive, what do you do when she plays basketball, just go to kindergarten to be a teacher!"

"What you taught me is that I know my mistake!" Lin Fengfei lowered his head and said.

"Say it again!" said Li Xi at her.

"What you taught me is that I know that I was wrong!" Lin Fengfei said again.

"Say it again!"

"You're teaching!

"Say it again!"

"I know I was wrong!"

"Say it again!"

"You're teaching!

"Say it again!"

Everyone looked at Li Xi in surprise, no one knew what she wanted to do when she kept asking Lin Fengfei to repeat!

"Besides, if you say that, keep talking!" said Li Xi sharply.

"I will definitely kill Japan in the next game!" Lin Fengfei shouted loudly at this time.

"It's pretty much that," Li Xi said, nodding.

"Well, thank you, coach, I know I'm stupid, I'm embarrassed. Lin Fengfei said.

"Okay, I won't talk about you one by one, but you are all players I sent to the first team, you can't play well, it's my people who lose, understand!" Li Xi said as he looked at everyone.

"Yes!" shouted all the team members.

"You guys are enough!" Seeing the players supporting Li Xi so much, Wu Tang couldn't hold back his face.

"Li Xi, what are you doing here?" Wu Tang said loudly as he turned his head to look at Li Xi at this time.

"Wu Tang, you still have the face to shout here, in this game, the root cause of losing is your wrong command, you still have the face to stand here!"

"What are you talking about, if it weren't for the strength of the people provided by your second team, how could we lose!" Wu Tang glared at Li Xi and said.

"What!" all the team members, including Li Xi, glared at Wu Tang angrily.

"If your second team can provide two players like the point guard and center of the Japanese team, how can we lose!" Wu Tang said in an arrogant tone.

"Hahaha!" Ji Jinru suddenly laughed out loud at this time.

"What are you laughing at?" Wu Tang said sharply as he glared at Ji Zhenru.

"I think if I could hold an excuse competition, you would be the first!" Ji Jinru said with a smile.

Hearing this, all the team members wanted to laugh, but no one dared to laugh.

"Don't think that because you play well, you can meddle in the affairs of the women's basketball team, please go out now!" Wu Tang said to him sharply.

"It should be you who should go out!" At this time, Li Xi took out an A4 piece of paper and said, "This is the new appointment letter, appointing Ji Zhenru as the new head coach and coach consultant of the women's basketball team, revoking the qualification of head coach Wu Tang and demoting him to assistant coach!"

"What did you say?" Wu Tang looked at Li Xi in horror.

"What I want to say is on this piece of paper, and there is also the seal of the higher department on it, if you don't believe it, you can go back and verify. Li Xi said.

"Impossible, impossible, why, why would you let an underage kid succeed me, it's simply impossible, are you fake!" Wu Tang said sharply.

"If he just turns eighteen years old this year, he is fully qualified for your job, Wu Tang, if you still want to stay in the women's basketball team, you can honestly be your coaching assistant, if you don't want to stay, the training camp can reimburse you for the ticket back!" Li Xi said at this time.

At this time, I saw Wu Tang sitting on the seat of the training ground, and it was over, maybe his coaching experience of the national team would come to an end......

"Let me introduce you to you, this is your new coach, Ji Zhenru!" Li Xi said to all the players at this time.

There was silence in the audience.

"Why, aren't you welcome?" said Li Xi with a smile.

"Crackle, crackle, crackle!" the team members reacted and all applauded excitedly!

"Seeing that you are so enthusiastic, I will give you a gift!" Ji Jinru said with a smile at this time.

"Wow! His voice sounds so good!" Wang Yihuan said a little stupidly, and Lin Fengfei touched her with his elbow.

"What gift?" Zhuang Yan asked.

Ji Zhenru smiled, and then shouted at the door, "You can come out now." ”

A scene that surprised everyone appeared, only to see Zhao Meiyue walking out from behind the door.

He Yitong's heart was very happy at this time, she finally knew what Ji Zhenru was going to do now......
