After playing the first game, the players in Lizhong were immersed in the joy of victory, and quickly forgot what happened outside the locker room door.

In the afternoon, Gao Jing gave everyone a half-day off, and Bai Ye took Lu Yuan and Wang Yourong to the teahouse near the hotel to have afternoon tea. Lu Yuan was unhappy when he heard the boss, saying that he was tired from playing the game in the morning, and what kind of tea did he drink. It wasn't until Bai Ye told Lu Yuan that drinking afternoon tea was not only about drinking tea, but also about having something to eat, that this guy followed him to the teahouse.

I found a tea house that looked good, and the three of them found a place, got some kinds of pastries, tea, and chatted while eating.

In addition to the subway in Guangzhou, it is a little hot in summer, it is indeed a good place to live comfortably, eating, drinking and having fun, the price is not expensive, but the quality is good.

Of course, Lu Yuan doesn't know what quality is, as long as things can be eaten deliciously, the three of them ate for a while, and two more people came in outside the teahouse, and at first glance, it turned out to be Lin Sifan and his cousin Lin Xin.

Lu Yuan's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Lin Sifan hurriedly beckoning her over, he said that there was someone to treat here.

When Lin Sifan saw Lu Yuan, her expression, which was originally a little wilted because of the heat, suddenly became lively, she didn't expect such a coincidence, so she asked the waiter to add a stool, and the five of them sat together.

Lin Xin looked at it, sat down next to Bai Ye, and let his sister sit next to Lu Yuan. Bai Ye glanced at Lin Xin, thinking to himself, is there a brother who does this, sending sheep like a tiger's mouth.

Lin Xin is a sharp-eyed bald eagle on the court, but he is relatively sluggish and wooden off the field, as a star player affiliated to Southern Sports University, there must be a lot of girls who like him, but to this day he has not even held the girl's hand, which is called "affecting the feel". So he couldn't see that Lin Sifan's mind was not on Bai Ye at all, and it was all hanging on Lu Yuan.

Lin Sifan and Lu Yuan are together, there are always all kinds of things to say, no matter how boring the topic, as long as you talk to Lu Yuan, you will feel very interesting, his ideas are always so unique.

Lu Yuan was eating shrimp dumplings frantically, while chatting with Lin Sifan about things related to comics, while the other three guys stared wide-eyed, feeling that they didn't seem to have anything to say, and they weren't very familiar.

At this time, Lu Yuan suddenly asked Lin Xin: "Lin Xin, let me ask you something, do you know a person named Xiao Kai?"

Lin Xin shook his head and said, "What is Xiao Kai's name, there are more people with Kai in their names." ”

Lu Yuan said again: "I don't know what his surname is, anyway, he seems to have passed away, and he has something to do with Professor Liang." ”

"Professor Liang?"

Lin Xin frowned and thought about it before saying, "Could it be Gao Kai?"

Lu Yuan was curious: "Who is Gao Kai?"

Bai Ye on the side interjected: "Gao Kai, you don't know, the most valuable player in the NHBA finals, the person who led the ninth middle school to win the national championship, and the holder of the national championship finals scoring record - 41 points." ”

This scared Lu Yuan, 41 points? It's really a great score, and it's in the finals of the national competition, such a powerful person, either stay in China to play professionally, or should go to the United States to play the NBA, why is he not there?

Lin Xin continued: "Gao Kai can be regarded as my senior, but he is many years older than me, and he was a student of No. 9 Middle School at that time, and the number one star in Nanjing." ”

Lu Yuan asked curiously, "Then how is he... How did you die?"

Lin Xin pursed his lips, hesitated, and said: "That incident was very troublesome at the beginning, but no one could have imagined that it would be like that in the end, I was just in elementary school at that time, and I can't tell the specifics." Anyway, he was involved in a gambling incident, when he was a junior in high school and was about to go to college in the United States, but because of this incident, he was delayed. One night, he drank wine, and when he came home, he fell into the river and drowned. ”

Lin Xin finished speaking in a plain and quiet tone, just a few words, I don't know how many stories are hidden.

"Oh yes, Gao Kai is still your cousin of Coach Gao. Lin Xin added.

Only after hearing this, Lu Yuan understood what Gao Jing meant by what she said at the door of the locker room in the morning, and why she had such an expression.

This kind of thing is undoubtedly a bit heavy for high school students, they still don't understand the meaning of life or death for themselves and others, but they just don't know how to talk about it, so they can only keep silent, and let the food dilute the gloom of this matter.

After a while, Lu Yuan's mobile phones all received a message from the team, it was Gao Jing, she only said one sentence: There is an urgent matter at home, you have to go back to Licheng, and you will play by yourself the day after tomorrow.

The three of them were all stunned when they saw this information, and couldn't help but look at each other, Lin Sifan asked what was wrong, and Lu Yuan said: "Our coach abandoned us." ”

……………………

Gao Jing didn't expect that after the first game, the news that her grandfather was critically ill came from home, and after weighing it repeatedly, she could only give up the game the day after tomorrow and go home to visit her grandfather, after all, since she was a child, her grandfather loved her very much.

Especially after Gao Kai's accidental death, Gao Jing became the only sustenance in his grandfather's heart, thinking that he was lying in the ICU ward and might die soon, Gao Jing felt that his heart was hurting.

Therefore, she didn't have time to call everyone back to tell the relevant matters, and after asking the competition committee for leave, she directly sent a message in the group, and then booked a ticket back to Nanjing, preparing to rush back to Licheng overnight.

In the room, Chen Jieru helped Gao Jing pack up her things and asked her if she could let go of this group of children, there would still be a competition the day after tomorrow.

Gao Jing sighed and said, "Of course don't worry, although they don't like to cause trouble, but you also know that some of them are particularly troublesome, so when the time comes, you have to help take care of them." ”

Chen Jieru nodded, and Gao Jing said again: "But on the court, I'm not very worried about them, if there is any problem in the game, everything will be up to Bai Ye and Wu Peng." ”

Wu Peng and Bai Ye, one is the captain, the other is the core, one has prestige, the other is capable, the two of them are here, and it shouldn't be a big problem to hold up a game.

Gao Jing's heart is particularly contradictory, she knows that she must go back, but if the game the day after tomorrow is lost because of her absence, then the whole year's efforts will be in vain.

With this tangled and contradictory mood, Gao Jing left the hotel with some luggage, she was about to take a taxi to the airport, but met Liang Boyu at the door of the hotel.

Liang Boyu stepped forward and said, "Xiaojing, I called a car and sent you to the airport." ”

Gao Jing was a little strange and asked, "How do you know I'm going to the airport." ”

Liang Boyu replied: "Your father told me, and he asked me to take care of you." ”

Gao Jing's father and Liang Boyu are good friends, he knows that both of them are in Guangzhou, and when he encounters such an emergency, he is worried that Gao Jing will be flustered, so he naturally wants his friends to take care of it.

Gao Jing wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she nodded and agreed, waited for the taxi to come, and followed Liang Boyu into the car.

Along the way, Gao Jing didn't speak, just closed the closing to recuperate, I don't know what I was thinking in my heart, Liang Boyu had something to say, but he didn't know how to speak.

He is Gao Jing's teacher and elder, Gao Jing has always respected him very much, but in Gao Kai's matter, Liang Boyu has a certain responsibility.

At the beginning, he was a teacher at Southern Sports University, and as the head coach of the No. 9 Middle School, he was in the prime of his life, and he led the No. 9 Middle School to win the national championship 10 years ago, and his coaching career reached the peak of his life.

Gao Kai was in his third year of high school that year, and he was already preparing to go to the United States to study in preparation for entering the NBA in the future. However, one day after they won the championship, a news of Gao Kai's participation in gambling began to spread widely on the Internet, and the report not only named names, but also listed specific games, scores, and fraud details one by one, which made people have to believe it.

This news quickly caused a huge response, countless people forwarded it on the Internet, and the forum was hot, Gao Kai, the MVP of the new finals, also fell from heaven to hell, not only was he criticized a lot in China, but after the United States received the news, he was also disqualified from going to the United States to participate in the training camp, and those universities who rushed to ask him were also silent.

As Gao Kai's coach, Liang Boyu had a strong personality, and after the incident, he was also skeptical of Gao Kai, thinking that Gao Kai was really involved in gambling, because Gao Kai's state was really abnormal for a while.

As an ordinary high school student, Gao Kai is hard to argue, the most respected coach didn't even believe him, he was stubborn and couldn't vent the anger in his heart, and the ghost made him drink and accidentally fell into the water and died.

As soon as Gao Kai died, it was as if cold water had been poured on the fire, all the controversy disappeared at once, and people paid attention to other hot news, and this matter was slowly forgotten in the corner, and no one checked who released Gao Kai's gambling information afterwards.

The public's attention shifted, and the pain was left to his family and friends, and Liang Boyu soon left No. 9 Middle School and returned to Southern Sports University to coach the women's basketball team and teach.

Gao Kai's death of course also had other effects, the NHBA began to pay close attention to gambling, strictly control the academic performance of high school students, and now because of the existence of the Internet, there are still gamblers, but it is impossible to manipulate the game.

Liang Boyu felt deeply guilty about Gao Kai's death, and inexplicably became addicted to gambling until today.

Sent Gao Jing to the airport, Liang Boyu followed her to the waiting hall, Gao Jing was about to enter the security check directly, Liang Boyu stopped her and said, "Xiao Jing, go back and say hello to Xiao Kai's father." ”

Gao Jing replied: "Don't gamble anymore, no matter what the reason." ”

Liang Boyu nodded and said, "I almost never win. ”

Hearing Liang Boyu say this, Gao Jing's heart softened, he knew that with Liang Boyu's understanding of high school basketball, it was not difficult to win money in betting, he didn't win, he just didn't want to win, he couldn't win, he shouldn't win.

"Help me take care of Lu Yuan and them, there will be a game the day after tomorrow, remember to let them train tomorrow." Gao Jing finally said, and then entered the security channel.
