Chapter 102: The Basketball with a Spell
"It's a pity that his dream is to be a captain, and he is a dark-skinned man. Promi said.
"Luckily, I just wanted to play basketball. Black Eisen said.
"Don't think about it so much, just rest early. Tomorrow we have an important game. Promi said, turning off the light.
When he was about to fall asleep, Promi suddenly reacted that in the disease-free world, he had not seen farmland on the plane, not a single green farmland.
The next day, Promi and Hayeson got up early in the morning and arrived at the court with the rest of the team under the guidance of Coach Hay-Jay.
'Every single one of us has worked hard this season. Our efforts have also paid off. Now, we're on the stage of the Grand Final. This is here, in a few hours, there will be the championship of the second division of the national basketball league, the southern division. ”
Coach Hei Jiefei looked at everyone and said solemnly: "I hope that the championship is us." ”
After a few brief words from the coach, everyone began to adapt to training. Their time is limited, just over two hours to warm up and acclimatize to the venue. The opponent is playing at home, and needless to say, the audience is mostly home fans who support the home team.
Promi attacks under the practice basket and someone feeds him the ball. He's fine, not particularly nervous. After all, it's just a game, and even if you lose, it's nothing. Compared to the dangers and unexpected things that travel between two worlds, one game is not enough to make Promi overly nervous.
Black Eisen was different, he ran a few times along the court with the ball, and then gasped for breath, as if he was tired. When I dribbled the ball to the basket, I accidentally lost it. You could tell he was nervous.
"Brother Romi, I feel like my elbow joint is very stiff, and it seems that I can't dribble all of a sudden. According to the coach's arrangement, I will start later. I'm so worried that I'll lose the ball when I first start dribbling. Is it that the basketball in their arena is too strong? It doesn't feel so easy to control. Black Eisen said to Promi.
Promi smiled and said to him, "That's how it is to play away. Maybe they've put some kind of spell on basketball. ”
"Ah, it can't be true, right? I'll just say, I feel that the ball is not obedient in my hand, not like in the stadium in our city. Sometimes, I even need to look at it to determine where the ball is. Black Eisen's eyes widened as he spoke.
"I'll start later and I'll be the first to touch the ball. After I touch it, the basketball will be obedient. I can crack their spells. Promi said to Black Eisen.
"Ah, really? That's great. But what if you don't get the ball at the start?" asked Eisen worriedly, taking Promi's words seriously.
"It's okay, pass it to me if you grab it. As soon as I catch the ball once, I'm going to break their spell so you can play normally. Promi said.
"Okay, then we'll settle it. Black Eisen nodded.
It didn't take long for their training time to end. The audience began to enter, and there were some warm-up performances in the center of the stadium. Coach Black Jeffy took everyone to the locker room to rest and make final preparations. He briefly told everyone about the tactics they had prepared, as well as personnel scheduling and other matters.
After Coach Hei Jiefei finished speaking, Hei Aisen said loudly: "Whoever grabs the ball first later, remember to pass it to Promi first." ”
"Why?" the other team members asked.
"We played away from home and they put a spell on the basketball. Romigo said that when he touches the ball, he can lift the spell on their home field. Hei Aisen said.
"Haha, what you said seems to be true, how is this possible?" the player said he didn't believe it, but he still looked at Coach Black Jet Fei again.
The coach smiled and didn't say anything. He knew that on the eve of such a big game, the players were nervous, and they would have all kinds of bizarre ideas and sometimes superstitious ideas. As long as it doesn't affect their performance on the field, the coach won't interfere too much.
The race has finally begun.
Promi and Black Eisen were both starters. As soon as they came out, they immediately felt the tremendous energy of the home fans. There was a tsunami of cheering and cheering everywhere, and most of the fans were wearing bright red jerseys of the same color as the home team, which looked almost red.
It was the first time that the Baa City 56ers had reached the finals of the playoffs, and the players had little experience in this area. Although they also have fans, there are not many fans who come to other cities to cheer them on. At least among the overwhelming home team red fans, it's hard to notice their own fans.
The host at the scene said: "First of all, let us welcome the 56-member team of Bacheng City who came from afar. They are a very good team and this year's results have been very impressive. Like our fans, it's the first time I've seen them here. Hopefully they can have a good performance. Let's welcome them with a round of applause!"
Although the host said it passionately, the fans at the scene did not buy it, they were all waiting for the introduction of the home team. After the host finished speaking, the scene was only a sparse applause, politely expressed.
"It didn't seem like the fans welcomed us very well. ”
"It's normal, and if we forfeit the game and don't come, they'll be happier. ”
"I'm afraid we're not going to make them too happy tonight. ”
In the audience, everyone was still talking quietly. Then, the home team was introduced, and the scene immediately fell into a very frenzied atmosphere. Hei Aisen stood on the sidelines, looking a little scared.
The referee blew the whistle for the game, tossed the basketball high, and Promi jumped up for the ball with the opposing center. The opposing center was a little taller and dialed the basketball first. Then the opposing guard held the ball and soon played a fast break and scored a layup. At this point, just four seconds had passed.
The ball reached the side of the Bacheng 56ers, and Hei Aisen dribbled, and just after half the court, the opponent came up to force it. Originally, Hei Aisen's dribbling was very flexible, even if two people came to grab his ball, they might not be able to grab it. However, today he was too nervous, and the other party was close to him, so he was not very good at passing.
At this time, Promi quickly pulled out from under the basket and went to the top of the circle to meet him. Black Eisen threw a high pass, Promi received the ball and turned around, blocking the opposing defender behind him, and then passed to the small forward Blue Lotus who was inserted in time. Lan Lian shook in front of him, scored a jumper, and finally stabilized the formation a little.
When the opponent sent the ball in the backcourt, Promi ran to Hei Aisen's side and said to him: "Don't be nervous, the spell has been lifted, don't worry." ”
"Well, I think so, too. My ball sense has returned. Black Eisen nodded as he ran.
