Chapter 245: Crisis

Shegezhi felt the energy slowly pouring back into his body, and as he let go of his mental baggage, diverted his attention away from his damn ankle, and onto the court, he felt his body lighten. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the days of the injury, Xie Gezhi never gave up his efforts to recover, because the injury was his left ankle, and when he couldn't run and exert power, he went to the gym with a plaster cast to practice his upper limbs, practice shooting, and practice passing.

Although he looks 27 years old, he is only 17 years old, and there are many, many good times ahead, and he should not be so pessimistic and dull, just because of the injury.

Perhaps it has something to do with his upbringing and family background, he was born in a merchant family, but his parents wanted him to study hard, and in a shrewd and calculating merchant family, he was the one who was always required to study seriously, which made him always feel alienated from his siblings in his life.

It wasn't until he grew up that he knew that it was his grandfather who said that he thought that the family could produce a scholar and become an official, and that the business could be bigger if there were officials and businessmen.

Because of his grandfather's "whimsical" thinking, Xie Gezhi's life was very different from that of his brothers and sisters of the same generation, and to make matters worse, his academic performance was not outstanding, which made him feel a deep sense of guilt, as if he could not carry the hopes of the family.

Of course, your parents don't mind this, they say that if you have money, you can send you to a good university, and it's no problem to go abroad.

This made Xie Gezhi aimless, and with his growing frame and face many times more mature than others, he began to become a weirdo in the eyes of his classmates.

In junior high school, Xie Gezhi joined both the school's basketball and track teams by an unexpected opportunity — in Wenzhou's junior high school, he had a lot of extracurricular time to drain his excess energy.

His parents still don't mind, in their circle, many businessmen's children spend a lot of time in junior high school, falling in love, going to KTV or even looking for a lady, like Xie Gezhi to play ball and run, as long as they can stay in school and not cause trouble, it is really good.

When he was about to graduate from junior high school, Xie Gezhi's parents were suddenly approached by schools from all over Zhejiang, hoping that Xie Gezhi would study in their schools, including some famous schools.

At this time, Xie Gezhi's parents knew that their son had become famous in basketball.

But these coaches were all rejected by his parents, and their reason was simple, "My son is going to study in the future, and what can he do in sports." ā€

It wasn't until Wang Minqi appeared that he gave Xie Gezhi's parents an account: with Xie Gezhi's academic performance, it is difficult to be admitted to a good university in China, and it costs a lot of money to go abroad; if he goes back and forth to the high school basketball team, the tuition and living expenses can be completely free, and Huifu, as a famous basketball school, has school-running cooperation with many excellent universities, and every year many players go to study in top universities in China, and can also get scholarships, and there is no lack of precedents for studying in foreign universities.

A businessman is a businessman, and as soon as this account is settled, Xie Gezhi was happily sent to Linhai by his parents and began his basketball team career in Huifu Middle School.

In his freshman year of high school, Xie Gezhi led Huifu Middle School to shine in the East China competition, and then the momentum of the national competition was rapid, and the limelight was unparalleled for a while, followed by the arrival of terrible injuries, ankle contusions, cartilage damage, and continuous swelling.

In the sophomore year of high school, they barely made it to the national competition, and then easily fell at the feet of the dark horse Guiyang Experimental No. 1 Middle School, until today, the reputation of Xie Gezhi and Red Huifu has almost been exhausted.

When people mention this team and Xie Gezhi, the most common thing people say is "It's a pity that he is injured, otherwise ......", "If he hadn't been injured in the freshman national competition......

Seeing that the loss of this game was about to draw a sad end to his high school basketball career, Xie Gezhi finally woke up.

……………………

Although they didn't have a burst three-pointer - the outside Zwilling made several three-point attempts, and the shooting rate was not ideal, but Xie Gezhi's recovery made all the Hui Fu players play more resolutely, because they knew that the ball that could not be scored Xie Gezhi would be snatched back, and the attack that could not be opened could give the ball to him.

Prior to this, his teammates had become accustomed to ignoring Xie Gezhi's presence on the offensive end, and he was always careful to stay in the three-second zone, slow and hesitant to shoot. The Zwilling became the offensive heart of the team, which made the team rely more on the jump shot on the offensive end.

Some newcomers to the team are often full of doubts about this old-looking old captain, how this "stone lion" who once shined in the NHBA arena has become a stone.

After Lu Yuan regained the score with a wonderful hand-to-hand layup, Wang Minqi called a timeout, and the support players who returned to the bench unconsciously leaned against Xie Gezhi's side, and the newcomers sitting on the bench all looked at the old captain, whose performance after the opening of the second half was shocking.

"Say something. ā€

Wang Minqi said that he called the timeout not to give coaching to the players, but to give Xie Ge a chance to boost the team's morale.

He knew that his 10,000 suggestions at this time were not as good as Xie Gezhi's sentence.

Xie Gezhi was not good at words, but he was not afraid of the right to speak in the face of Wang Minqi.

He beckoned to the players on the bench, and everyone immediately gathered around, and Xie Gezhi put his hand on the two players next to him, and everyone formed a tight circle.

"I've missed a lot in the past, I don't want to do this again, this is my last chance, please everyone, Huifu shouldn't be here. ā€

Xie Gezhi spoke to his teammates in his deep voice, with a hint of tremor in his tone. This is a man who never shows his emotions in front of his teammates and coaches, but now, he can't take it.

Everyone's hands were clasped together, Wang Minqi was excluded, he stood outside the circle and looked at his players, and he remembered Mao Zhiyuan in his mind.

He used to have such a cohesion, holding his teammates together with extraordinary enthusiasm and unbridled free will.

Now, Xie Gezhi has done the same thing, but in a different way, because he is not Mao Zhiyuan, he is just Xie Gezhi.

Back in the game, Lu Yuan's counterattack changed to a layup, which once again made Wang Minqi see his extraordinary offensive acumen.

This is a terrible guy, his abilities have not been fully developed, and his performance on the field can be seen that his technique is still flawed and not comprehensive enough.

Wang Minqi decided to seize this opportunity to attack him, and he made a personnel change, replacing it with defensive scoring guard Cai Xiuwen, a stalker who also has a reliable three-point shot.

On Lizhong's side, with Wang Yourong's departure, the inside line became empty, and the situation on the field reversed instantly.

As soon as the timeout ended, Xie Gezhi chose to respond in the high post, Sun Lidou came out to catch the ball, jumped up directly outside the three-point line, and shot!

The ball hollowed into the net, and they finally hit a three-pointer to put the score back in the lead.

Sun Li's playing style is quite Yuan Ye's style, his incomparable confidence in his own shots, and his strong and stable upper body strength, this three-point shot is quite deadly, and it has completely sounded the alarm for Lizhong.

At the time of the pause, Gao Jing had repeatedly emphasized the control of opportunities on the defensive and offensive ends, but the reversal of the situation on the court could not be controlled by one or two sentences, someone must be able to step up.

Lu Yuan stood up without hesitation, and after Sun Li hit three points, Lu Yuan once again tore apart Huifu's defense line with a breakthrough, and Cai Xiuwen, who had just come on the court, had not yet adapted to Lu Yuan's speed, and was passed by Lu Yuan with a simple change of direction.

Inside Xie Gezhi guarded the basket, Lu Yuan chose to directly stop and shoot a jumper, but unfortunately he missed, the ball collapsed, Bai Ye grabbed the rebound in the front court, dribbled out, and suddenly passed the ball from behind, cutting into Lu Yuan After receiving the ball, a layup was successful.

The game suddenly entered a fierce tug-of-war, Huifu Middle School gained a firm foothold, and the two sides began to re-move one move at a time.

At this time, the players in Lizhong realized that this was the East China Competition, and no team could be taken lightly, not to mention that the opposite side was Huifu Middle School.

……………………

Lu Yuan can feel that the teams in the East China competition are completely different from the opponents in the municipal and county competitions.

In the last game against Jiuzhong, although they won, Lu Yuan's performance on the offensive end was not outstanding, compared to the county competition, he can rely on speed, bounce to get what he wants, the defense of these strong teams is not so easy to break through.

So, his skills are improving, but the difficulty of scoring is increasing, and he has to search for every hole and opportunity he can find to attack the basket at Huifu Middle School.

Lu Yuan is by no means a brute player, whether it is offensive or defensive, he has surprising alertness and acumen, but many people are blinded by his embarrassing personality.

In the second half, when Xie Gezhi began to exert his power, Lu Yuan had already noticed the change in the situation on the court, and as Xie Gezhi guarded the three-second zone, the state gradually became brave, and Lu Yuan found that their holes on the defensive end were getting smaller and smaller.

Lu Yuan has always been a person who rises to the challenge, he uses his scoring and counterattacks to help the team bite the score, so as not to be suppressed by the three-point shot opened by Huifu.

In the last ten minutes of the game, the score had become 66:69, and Huifu Middle School had established a 3-point advantage little by little, and they were still better than Lizhong in terms of overall strength.

Wang Yourong was still sitting on the field, his heart had calmed down, but looking at Xie Gezhi who was killing all sides on the field, Wang Yourong couldn't raise the courage to fight.

He has never encountered such a strong center, and Xie Gezhi in his normal state is a top interior player at the national level.

When Xie Gezhi grabbed another frontcourt rebound and dunked vigorously with both hands, turning the score to 66:71 and a five-point gap, Gao Jing called a timeout.

"Wang Yourong, can you play?" asked Gao Jing.

Wang Yourong hesitated, but still stood up from the bench and nodded, indicating that he could go.

His stomach churned a little, but he held back.

At this time, Lu Yuan walked off the field sweating profusely, he was the team's top scorer in the second half, but the others were dumbfounded.

"Lu Yuan, take a break for a while. Gao Jing said to Lu Yuan.

"I don't. ā€

Lu Yuan actually refused Gao Jing's order to let him rest, Gao Jing looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Obey the coach's arrangement!"

Lu Yuan looked at Gao Jing, shook his head, and said firmly: "I don't, they are getting stronger and stronger, and time is running out." ā€

Lu Yuan's eyes were so firm that Gao Jing's heart was shaken, and she didn't speak again.

A series of changes in the second half made Gao Jing a little overwhelmed, and then Lu Yuan said: "Let me stay on the court, so that Wang Yourong will feel better." ā€

Gao Jing listened and nodded slowly, maybe Lu Yuan was right.
