At this time, at the hotel where the team was staying, the middle-aged man who had just left the conference room arrived in the hall, and on the sofa in the hall, a young man in sportswear was waiting for him.

When the young man saw the middle-aged man coming, he hurriedly got up and stepped forward and greeted, "Coach Yao, hello, hello, long time no see." “

The middle-aged man stepped forward and shook the young man's hand and replied, "Hello, Mr. Duanmu." “

This young man is the head coach of the basketball team of Yuanpei Middle School in Lizhong, Duanmuqu, who lost to Lizhong in the city competition, and this meticulously dressed middle-aged man is the head coach of the famous Deming Middle School basketball team, Yao Guangzhi.

And the reason why the two know each other is because Duanmuqu was the basketball coach of Yuanpei Middle School back then, and Yao Xicheng, who died in a car accident, was Yao Guangzhi's cousin.

Because of this relationship, when Duanmuqu was taking the coaching qualification certificate, Yao Guangzhi helped Duanmuqu a little, and let Yao Guangzhi study in the basketball team of Deming Middle School for a period of time, Yao Guangzhi can be said to be half of Duanmuqu's teacher and guide.

Therefore, when it comes to the national competition, Duanmuqu will go to the host city to watch the competition of Deming Middle School, on the one hand, to visit his own teachers, and on the other hand, to try to learn something from Deming Middle School.

After all, Dunman High School is one of the two major high school basketball giants in the country, a well-deserved overlord of the Southern Division, and one of the five flags championship holders in history.

"I'm sorry, Coach Yao, there was something going on in my hometown this time, and I just rushed over now, but fortunately I didn't miss your game tomorrow. The two sat down, and Duanmuqu and Yao Guangzhi chatted.

Yao Guangzhi is very tall, even if he sits on the sofa, he sits on the back panel straight, and it can be seen that he was a soldier back then. Duanmuqu, who was also a soldier, was naturally the same, sitting straight on the sofa, and his butt was only three-quarters of the way, so it seemed strange to outsiders, two people sat on the sofa without lying down or leaning, poking there like a clothes pole.

Yao Guangzhi chatted with Duanmuqu for a while, looked at his watch, and said, "It's ten o'clock, and there are still ten minutes for me to go and set up tactics for the students, and we can talk for another five minutes." Did you watch today's game?"

Duanmuqu shook his head and said, "No, I only arrived in Guangzhou in the afternoon, and I heard that today is the match between Lizhong and Wuhan Iron and Steel." ”

Yao Guangzhi replied: "That's right, and Lizhong won, you met them in the municipal competition, right?"

Hearing that Lizhong won the top 16 match, Duanmuqu was also a little surprised, but then said: "I have played, I met in the first round, and I lost." ”

"How does it feel?"

'There are two players who are very talented, very good, and they don't lose unjustly. I didn't expect them to run so far. ”

Yao Guangzhi pushed his eyes and said, "Indeed, especially the scoring guard of No. 18. ”

"Number 18, I have the impression that he is a very talented defender. ”

"Not very talented, very amazing. ”

Yao Guangzhi's tone was very flat, but Duanmuqu was still very surprised when he heard Yao Guangzhi say this, because it was very, very difficult for the well-informed Yao Guangzhi to say "very amazing".

In Duanmuqu's impression, only one and a half people have received such an evaluation from Yao Guangzhi in the past.

Duanmuqu said: "I think the teacher must have thought of how to deal with it, right?"

Yao Guangzhi shook his head and said, "You have also learned to pat on the back, I haven't thought of a way to deal with him, I will only think about tomorrow's game." ”

Speaking of tomorrow's game, Duanmuqu said: "Coach Yao, I won't tell you, I came here not only to watch the game of Deming Middle School, but also to see the game affiliated to Southern Sports University. This time, it was just right, the two teams were up against each other. ”

The second match of the round of 16 tomorrow will be played against Deming High School and the affiliated school of Southern Sports University. The affiliated of Southern Sports University is also a passing general, defeating Jiangxi Jingdezhen Qunxing High School in the last round, and reaching the top 16 for three consecutive years, showing the true character of a strong team.

It's just that because they didn't win the championship in East China, they had to meet the seeded team, Dunman High School, in advance.

Yao Guangzhi pushed his eyes, looked at his watch again, and said, "That's a coincidence, okay, five minutes is up, I'm going back, you can find me if you have anything, but it will be after half past eight." ”

Duanmuqu nodded, he knew Yao Guangzhi's habits, his requirements for time were extremely harsh, and he had always believed that time was life.

Duanmuqu watched Yao Guangzhi leave, sat back on the sofa, and thought of tomorrow's game, the affiliated of Southern Sports University is really unlucky. The reason why he came to Guangzhou to watch the games affiliated to the Southern Sports University was of course because of Lin Xin, who was a military training instructor affiliated to the Southern Sports University at the beginning, and went to the playground to play basketball when he was free, and he met Lin Xin.

At that time, Duanmuqu didn't know that Lin Xin was on the basketball team and was a hot basketball star in Nanjing, after all, Lin Xin was a little short, and he took the initiative to coach Lin Xin and teach him how to play basketball.

Lin Xin didn't say anything, how Duanmuqu taught, he learned, until the end of military training, when the instructor was about to leave the school, the two met on the court to have a heads-up, at this time Lin Xin showed his true strength, and beat Duanmuqu so that he couldn't find the southeast and northwest, Duanmuqu only then knew that this kid was hidden and played him a trick.

Lin Xin's explanation is very simple, "Let you punish us every day for standing in a military posture!"

But because of this, the two have become good friends, and occasionally have some contact. After Duanmuqu became the coach of Yuanpei Middle School, he still thought about whether he could lead Yuanpei Middle School to compete with the affiliated students of Southern Sports University in the East China Competition.

When he came to Guangzhou this time, he really wanted to see the match between the affiliated company of Southern Sports University and Lin Xin on the spot, but he did not take the initiative to contact Lin Xin, because he knew that the eve of the game must be very difficult, especially the opponent on the second day was Deming High School.

……………………

On the side of Licheng Middle School, the dust of the top 16 matches settled, and a tortuous game, accompanied by Lu Yuan's unnatural performance, inexplicable departure and final return, drew a successful end.

They successfully reached the quarterfinals, once again made history, everyone was very happy in the evening, after returning to the room after dinner, Gao Jing specially ordered a lot of delicious takeout, drinks, let everyone come to her room for a small dinner.

Of course, Gao Jing inevitably ordered several ice creams to give the team a big contributor to the victory, and at the same time the most headache guy, Lu Yuan.

I don't know why, Lu Yuan seems to be particularly obsessed with ice cream recently, and Lu Yuan is not interested in fried chicken, fried buns or anything else.

"Hey, hey, hey, you eat less ice cream, aren't you afraid of gastroenteritis?"

Seeing that Lu Yuan ate several cans of ice cream in a row, Bai Ye on the side reminded.

Lu Yuan took another bite and said, "It's okay, it's too hot, I just want to eat ice cream." ”

In Gao Jing's room, the air conditioner had been turned on to the maximum, and it was already night, and it was not hot, I really didn't know what Lu Yuan meant when he said that it was too hot.

At this time, Chen Jieru came in from outside the door and said to Lu Yuan: "Hey, Lu Yuan, someone is looking for you." ”

"Who!"

Lu Yuan said, came out with ice cream, and when he saw it, it was Jia Yumeng at the door, busy putting the ice cream back, and said, "Ah, it's Xiaomeng." ”

After Jia Yumeng finished today's cheerleading performance, she went back to her room to take a shower, ate in the restaurant, and ran to find Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan didn't reply to the message, and she didn't know what to do. ran to their hotel and went to the room to look for him, but happened to run into Chen Jieru, only to know that Lu Yuan and his teammates were eating and drinking together.

"Don't reply to me! What are you going to eat here?"

Jia Yumeng looked unhappy and asked loudly.

Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "No... I didn't eat anything, the coach ordered some fried chicken, and I was eating chicken. ”

"And what are you hiding behind your back?"

"No, nothing ......"

Jia Yumeng didn't ask again, stepped forward and grabbed Lu Yuan's arm, Lu Yuan shouted "Pain, pain, pain", and then Jia Yumeng saw the ice cream jar in Lu Yuan's hand.

"Lu Yuan, why are you eating ice cream again, have you eaten a lot at once?"

"Not much, just ate a little bit, it was too hot in the room. ”

Jia Yumeng couldn't help but say, snatched the ice cream from Lu Yuan's hand, then entered the room, took away all the ice cream in the plastic bag, and said: "Lu Yuan, don't eat ice cream anymore! Stop! Give me a good meal, eat something else, just don't eat ice cream!"

Lu Yuan blinked his eyes, just nodded, and replied, "Oh, I see." ”
