At eleven o'clock in the evening, in the infirmary of the University of Science and Technology in Liverpool's West End, He Yitong sat on the hospital bed, and Ji Zhenru and Zhuang Yan were there to accompany her.

The room was very quiet, there were only the three of them, and the lamp above the hospital bed made by He Yitong emitted a faint light, except for here, it was dark all around, and nothing could be seen.

"It's too dark around, Yitong, are you afraid of the dark, do you want me to help you turn on all the lights here?" Zhuang Yan looked at He Yitong and said.

He Yitong shook her head, her expression looked sad, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it.

"Yitong, are you hungry, I'll buy you something to eat. Ji Zhenru said with a smile.

He Yitong still shook her head, she was sitting there, her eyes looking extremely empty.

"Yitong!" At this time, I saw Zhuang Yan holding He Yitong's elbow with both hands and said excitedly, "Yitong, I know you are unwilling, you are unwilling to play tomorrow's game, if you are sad, say it, don't be like this, I'm really afraid that something will happen to you, you scold Yulian, if you can't do it, scold me, don't stop talking!"

At this time, I saw He Yitong raise his head and say in a very low voice: "Senior sister, do you say this is a dream?"

"Yitong ......" Hearing this, Zhuang Yan cried even more.

"Look, it's dark all around, you can't see anything, this should be a dream, when I wake up, my feet must be normal, right, senior sister, can you tell me?" He Yitong looked at Zhuang Yan and asked in a weak voice.

Yitong ...... This ......" Zhuang Yan really didn't know how to answer this question, he could only let tears continue to pour out of his eyes, during the day, they were still full of hope, pointing to a hearty fight with the American team, which was the dream of all their players, but now, before the game started, they suffered such a heavy blow, and it was their own people who killed themselves, how can this be acceptable, at this time, almost everyone on the left and right thought that at the moment when He Yitong was tripped by Jiang Yulian, they were destined to lose this game, they were defeated by themselves。

"It's a dream......," Ji Jinru said with a sudden smile at this time.

"Coach......" Zhuang Yan said as he wiped his tears and looked at Ji Zhenru.

"It's a dream, Yitong, as long as you get a good night's sleep, everything will be fine. Ji Zhenru said with a smile.

"Really, coach, don't lie to me. He Yitong looked at Ji Zhenru with an expectant look and said.

"It's true, as long as you have a good rest, tomorrow will be fine. Ji Zhenru nodded and said.

At this time, he heard the door of the infirmary open suddenly, and Yang Zifeng hurried in.

"Yitong, are you okay, let me see your feet!" Yang Zifeng strode over and said anxiously.

"It seems that it is really a dream, otherwise how could I see you at such a late hour......" He Yitong looked at Yang Zifeng with a smile and said.

"Yitong, what are you talking about......" Yang Zifeng just wanted to ask He Yitong what nonsense he was talking about, Ji Zhenru hurriedly put his hand on his shoulder, he shut up in time, he squinted at Ji Zhenru, Ji Zhenru winked at him, and Yang Zifeng understood.

"Yitong, you lie down and rest for a while, I'm here to accompany you......" Yang Zifeng said to He Yitong with a soft smile.

"Zifeng, I don't want to sleep, my feet are very uncomfortable, why do you still feel pain since you are in a dream?" He Yitong looked at Yang Zifeng and asked.

"You are a second, these are all hallucinations, don't worry, when you wake up, everything will be fine. Yang Zifeng looked at her and said with a smile.

At this time, I saw the door of the infirmary open again, and the team doctor Wang Xia walked in with a report.

Ji Zhenru hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to Wang Xia, "Let's go out and talk ......"

Wang Xia looked at He Yitong, who was depressed, and then nodded.

"Zhuang Yan!" Ji Zhenru shouted Zhuang Yan, Zhuang Yan nodded, and then walked over, the three of them opened the door of the infirmary, and they all walked out, leaving only Yang Zifeng to accompany her.

"Why did they all go out?" He Yitong said to Yang Zifeng.

"Oh, they have something to do, go first, Yitong, it's okay, I'll always be with you, don't worry. Yang Zifeng looked at He Yitong's eyes and said.

At this time, I saw that He Yitong couldn't hold back anymore and threw herself directly into Yang Zifeng's arms.

"Zifeng, I don't want to get hurt! I want to play tomorrow's game! I really want to play tomorrow's game......" He Yitong cried.

"I know, I know, Yitong, I know you're sad in your heart, don't worry, no matter what, in my heart, you are the best!" Yang Zifeng stroked He Yitong's hair and said, at this time he felt that the clothes on his chest were completely soaked, those were He Yitong's tears, she was unwilling, he knew that she was unwilling, because now she loves the sport of basketball deeply......

"Coach Ji, at this time, He Yitong's inspection report shows that this time her foot is more serious than last time, and she must not play in tomorrow's game, otherwise she may not be able to play basketball in her life. Wang Xia gave the report to Ji Jinru's hands.

"I see, doctor, it's so late. Ji Zhenru said.

"You don't need to, Coach Ji, this is my duty, after you finish reading, sign it below. Wang Xia said.

Ji Zhenru followed the door lamp, and saw that the bottom was written:

Because the injury is more serious, with the consent of the team doctor and the coaching staff, He Yitong will be banned from participating in tomorrow's game.

"This is ......," Ji Zhenru said as she looked at Wang Xia.

"I have already signed my own name on it, you also signed it, I will submit it to the person in charge of the competition early tomorrow morning, so that He Yitong can't play even if she wants to. Wang Xia said.

"No need to do this, Dr. Wang, we don't let her play, we don't need to go through this procedure. Zhuang Yan said loudly.

"Yes, doctor, it's so troublesome for you to do this, I just need to forbid her to play, there's no need for this, hehe......" Ji Zhenru looked at Wang Xia with a smile and said.

"Coach Ji, I have been a team doctor for so many years, and I know very well the mentality of you basketball players, if I don't do this, tomorrow's game, if she falls behind, she will definitely ask to play to the death, so for her future, I can only do this!" Wang Xia said.

"If Yitong knew this, she would definitely die of sadness!" Zhuang Yan said.

"Look, I'm right, Coach Ji, I'm doing this for your own good, so please sign it!" Wang Xia said in a firm tone.

"Doctor Wang, can't we discuss it anymore? I will never let her play, you trust me. "Ji Zhen is like a road.

"No, if Coach Ji doesn't sign, I will make a separate report of her injury, and then hand it in, then it will just be one more process to verify above, and in the end, He Yitong will have to be banned from playing. Wang Xia looked at Ji Zhenru and said.

"Doctor, we ......"

"Yan Yan, don't say it, I know that you also have a shoulder injury, do you want me to make a report for you?" Wang Xia glared at Zhuang Yan and said.

"Okay, I'll sign! Dr. Wang, please give me the pen. Ji Jinru thought about it and said.

"Coach, how can you do this, even if you give Yitong some hope, in this case, she will die of despair!" Zhuang Yan looked at Ji Zhenru and said.

"Zhuang Yan!" Wang Xia glared at Zhuang Yan.

"It's signed!" Ji Zhenru gave the report to Wang Xia's hands.

"Coach Ji, don't blame me, I'm also thinking about this child's future, I'm a doctor, I don't know anything about basketball games, in my opinion, physical health is more precious than any honor. Wang Xia reported the results, then looked at Ji Zhenru and said.

"I can understand, Dr. Wang, that you are doing the right thing. Ji Zhenru said.

Wang Xia nodded, and then said: "Coach Ji, I'll go back first, if there is anything, call me at any time, my mobile phone will be turned on at any time, and the volume will be turned to the maximum." ”

"I'm really sorry for you!" Ji Zhenru saluted Wang Xia.

Wang Xia nodded, then turned around and left with the report.

"Coach, why did you sign her, didn't this ruin Yitong's only hope?" Zhuang Yan said loudly.

"Zhuang Yan, I think she's right, Yitong still has a future, and we can't let him sacrifice his future for a game that we can't win in the first place. Ji Zhenru looked up at the starry sky above her and said.

"Can't win, Coach, have you already given up?" Zhuang Yan said as he looked at Ji Zhenru in surprise.

"Zhuang Yan, you also know, even if all our team members are healthy and harmonious, I am only 20% sure, not to mention that now we are not only injured in the main team, but the team is also split, and our chance of winning is less than 2%. Ji Zhenru said.

"Everything is Yulian's business, she did it, don't worry, coach, Feng Fei and I have already planned, before we leave the training camp, they will kick her away, her behavior today is too bad, it can't be forgiven!" Zhuang Yan said angrily.

"Actually, the main responsibility is me, Zhuang Yan, I am the culprit, I didn't find out your internal thoughts in time, I didn't cut it off in advance this time, this is my coach's responsibility, in fact, sometimes I also think, a lot of things are very strange, according to normal logic, I should go to teach the men's team, Mai Xiang should come to lead the women's team, if that's the case, maybe you will perform better, I didn't expect everything to be reversed." Ji Zhenru said with a wry smile.

"No, coach, I think you are the most suitable coach for our women's team, you single-handedly pulled us up from the trough, led us to defeat the Spanish team, and made history to the final, we think there is no one more suitable to lead our women's team than you!" Zhuang Yan looked at Ji Zhenru and said seriously.

"Hehe, maybe, but although we will die in tomorrow's game, before I leave, I still want to see Zhuang Yan who has the courage to fight without fear!" Ji Zhenru turned to look at her with a smile and said.

"Don't worry, coach, I'll ...... Wait, Coach, what did you just say?" Zhuang Yan said as he looked at Ji Zhenru in surprise.

"I mean, before I leave, hope ......"

"You say...... Are you leaving?" Zhuang Yan's heart chuckled.

"Yes, after this tournament, I will no longer be your coach. Ji Zhenru said with a smile.

"Why? Why are you leaving? Don't you care about us?" Zhuang Yan said with some excitement.

"Shhhh Ji Zhenru said.

"Coach, what should we do when you're gone?" Zhuang Yan asked as he lowered his voice and glared at Ji Jinru.

"Actually, I, the coach, am the coach who led the class on the spot, and when I first came, I also told your coach Li Xi that after the World Championships ended, the contract I signed with her will end. Ji Zhenru said.

"But you can renew your contract, you have performed so well, Coach Li Xi definitely hopes that you can stay, and she will give you a high salary!" Zhuang Yan said.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if the salary is high or not, I still have a lot of things to do, and I want to complete all the things that I haven't done. Ji Zhenru said.

"You're leaving, too...... You're going too...... If you leave, our team will disperse......" Zhuang Yan said in disappointment.

"No, I feel like I'm gone, it's good for our team. Ji Zhenru said with a smile.

"You...... Why do you say that?" Zhuang Yan said as he looked at Ji Jinru incomprehensibly.

"A lot of things are in front of you, I heard that Yitong and Yulian have a dispute, and part of it is because of me, because I am good friends with her, so it has created a feeling that I take care of her very much, and this mentality will become more and more serious, are you right?" Ji Zhenru looked at Zhuang Yandao.

Zhuang Yan did not deny that a large part of the dispute between Yitong and Jiang Yulian today was caused by Jiang Yulian seeing Ji Zhenru inviting He Yitong to dinner without permission.

"Coach, where are you going to go after you leave?" Zhuang Yan asked in a low mood.

"If you don't go to college, play professionally, or get ready for next year's NBA draft. Ji Zhenru said.

If it was someone else's words, Zhuang Yan would definitely have to die of laughter, but from Ji Jinru's mouth, she completely believed that Ji Zhenru had this ability.

"Zhuang Yan!" Seeing Ji Zhenru put his hands on Zhuang Yan's shoulders and said with a smile, "Let's finish this last game tomorrow, no matter what the outcome is, but ask for a clear conscience!"

"Hmm!" Zhuang Yan looked at Ji Zhenru and nodded vigorously, under the moonlight, he was so handsome, so charming, so intoxicating.

At this time, He Yitong was comforted by Yang Zifeng, and fell asleep in the infirmary, while Yang Zifeng sat on the edge of the bed and quietly guarded her......
