Chapter Fifty-Eight: Rivals
It was fast forward to Wednesday, and from morning onwards, everyone was talking about the upcoming match in the afternoon - Lizhong vs. Mingguang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lu Yuan could feel the great enthusiasm for basketball from his classmates since the morning, and some students came to cheer him on during class, and some people sent messages on WeChat and QQ to cheer him on.
Lu Yuan thought to himself, it was just a warm-up game, and he really didn't know what kind of jubilant scene the school would be like when the team could enter the national competition one day.
At noon, on the way to the cafeteria, strange classmates greeted Lu Yuan from time to time, saying come on, and even two girls rushed to Lu Yuan, stuffed him with a letter without saying a word, and then ran away with a giggle.
Lu Yuan opened the envelope and looked: Come on, basketball team, beat Mingguang Middle School to the ground, let them eat!
"Damn, is this something written by a girl?"
Lu Yuan looked at the swear words on the letter, it was hard to imagine that this was written by a few girls, could it be that there were so many grudges between the two schools?
Ge Yiming, who was with Lu Yuan, snatched the letter and read it, and said, "This character must have been written by a boy, and then a girl sent it." ”
"Then you can't let Mingguang Middle School eat. ”
"Lu Yuan, you are from the basketball team, don't you know how much enmity Mingguang and Lizhong have?"
Lu Yuan shook his head, he really didn't know. So Ge Yiming explained the grievances between the two sides and Lu Yuan in detail.
Before the start of the NHBA National High School League, the two teams were mortal enemies in the basketball game organized by the sports department, and Licheng Middle School has been pressing Mingguang's head. By 2004, when the NHBA was formed and the two teams were registered in the league and began to compete in bigger and more influential competitions, the feud between the two sides grew deeper.
In terms of strength, the two teams look at the whole country and are the existence of vegetables, but the so-called rats carry guns in the nest, in the small plot of Licheng, the two teams can still be inseparable.
In last year's semi-finals, the two teams met in advance, because Jiang Xiaowu left Licheng to coach Mingguang, and the two schools had a rare verbal fight before the game began, from teachers to students, scolding in the forum.
The semi-finals were held on Saturday at the Licheng Olympic Center, and the two schools organized all students to watch the games at the sports center, including the busy senior year.
As a result, Licheng Middle School was not a bright opponent at all, and from the beginning of the second half, the game basically entered garbage time. However, Mingguang Middle School did not relent, and still attacked frantically, and finally scored more than 100.
Because the game was organized by the school to watch and could not leave the field in advance, more than 3,000 teachers and students in the school watched the school's team being slaughtered by their old opponents and losing more than 40 points.
After listening to Ge Yiming's words about the grievances and hatreds between the two sides, Lu Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "How do you know this?"
"You don't go online!"
Lu Yuan scratched his head and asked again: "Then there will definitely be a lot of people watching this game this afternoon." ”
Ge Yiming said: "That's for sure! It's not just watching it on the spot, do you know, those seniors who have graduated, I heard that the light is going to Licheng to play a warm-up game, some of the students who are close to the university have skipped class and come back by high-speed train, and those who are far away are also asked to use their mobile phones to broadcast live!"
Lu Yuan didn't expect a small warm-up match to have such a big response, no wonder during the training in the past two nights, the actual combat drills became more, and it seemed that he was preparing for this warm-up game.
"I don't know if Bai Ye can play, he still has gauze wrapped around his head. ”
Lu Yuan thought of Bai Ye, he had been wrapped in gauze on his head for the past two days, and at noon he ran outside to eat because he didn't want to eat the food in the cafeteria.
If Bai Ye can't go up, can Licheng defeat Mingguang?
……………………
"I'm not going to let Hakuba play. In the small private room of the cafeteria of Licheng Middle School, Gao Jing said while taking a sip of food.
Listening to Gao Jing's words, Jiang Xiaowu, who was sitting opposite Gao Jing, almost squirted out all the rice in his mouth.
"Gao Jing, what do you mean? You, you don't let Bai Ye Shang?" Jiang Xiaowu said with a look of surprise as he took the rice in his mouth.
Gao Jing nodded and said, "That's right, he injured his head last Friday and couldn't participate in the competition. ”
Jiang Xiaowu suddenly became anxious and said: "What kind of injury, isn't it just a scratch on the head!
Gao Jing glared at Jiang Xiaowu and said, "Teacher Jiang, are you the coach of Lizhong or am I the coach of Lizhong?
Jiang Xiaowu smiled and said, "I'm neither a coach of Licheng Middle School nor a coach of Mingguang Middle School now, I am advising you as your senior brother, it is best to let Bai Ye play." Otherwise, you see, the whole school is so concerned about this game, and the principal and the dean of students are also very important, if they lose, how can they explain it?"
Gao Jing took a bite of food and said, "Senior brother, can I not know you? You brought the team to our school to play a warm-up game, didn't you just want to probe our bottom line, understand the situation of our team's new players, and still care about whether I lose or not? You really have to care, why didn't you show mercy to your subordinates last year, and you still attacked crazy when it was all garbage time!"
Gao Jing got angry as she spoke, slapped her chopsticks on the table, and stopped eating.
Jiang Xiaowu smiled awkwardly, as an old courtier of Licheng Middle School, it was not what he wanted to see in this situation, and he had a lot of feelings for Lizhong.
So before the start of the game, he wanted to invite Gao Jing to have a meal and communicate the situation. But Gao Jing didn't appreciate it, so he ate in the cafeteria with Jiang Xiaowu, but as soon as he communicated, he found a big problem, Gao Jing was not ready to let Bai Ye play!
Since meeting Bai Ye and Lu Yuan on the elementary school court last weekend, Jiang Xiaowu couldn't calm down for a long time. Especially for Bai Ye, for the first time, Jiang Xiaowu felt that national-level players were by his side.
He was both excited and worried, excited because Jiang Xiaowu loved talents, he left Licheng Middle School because the school did not pay attention to basketball talents, worried because Jiang Xiaowu was already the coach of Mingguang Middle School, this year he originally hoped to lead Mingguang to the East China competition, but if Bai Ye was in Lizhong, Mingguang would probably not be able to make the city competition.
After thinking about it, Jiang Xiaowu lowered his face and found Principal Zhu and Gao Jing, hoping to play a warm-up game before the county competition began.
First, let's explore the bottom of Licheng Middle School, and second, let Mingguang's students have a clearer understanding of themselves, with last year's glory, this year's Mingguang players are a little fluttering.
Seeing that Gao Jing's tone was resolute, and he really couldn't do anything about her, Jiang Xiaowu said: "Then you can think about it, Bai Ye is not on it, and when the time comes, in front of the whole school, we will be beaten all over the ground by our Mingguang to find teeth, see how you explain." ”
This was said in Gao Jing's heart, indeed, if it were not for the white leaves, Lizhong would probably lose to Mingguang again. But for the sake of the future county competition, and for Bai Ye's health, Gao Jing gritted her teeth and decided to let Bai Ye sit on the bench.
……………………
By the third class in the afternoon, the whole school was in a state of restlessness, and everyone had long lost the heart to go to class, and they were all ready to rush to the gymnasium.
Sure enough, as soon as the bell rang for the end of class, before the teacher announced the end of class, some people rushed out of the classroom impatiently, shouting and shouting. The entire teaching building shook for a while, and it was full of students who went to the gymnasium to grab seats.
Lu Yuan naturally didn't need to worry, he packed his things and waited for Bai Ye to go to the gymnasium together, and Bai Ye was still sitting in his position to do his homework.
"Hey, Yezi, can't you make it to today's competition?" Lu Yuan asked on the side.
"No. ”
Bai Ye didn't look up, he was doing a physics problem. Last night, Gao Jing told Bai Ye that he would not play in today's game, and explained the reason, and Bai Ye agreed to Gao Jing's arrangement.
"Huh, you're really not good, what if we lose?"
When Lu Yuan heard this, Bai Ye really didn't play, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.
"If you lose, you lose, and it's not an official competition. ”
"But, but I've heard that everybody is very interested in this game and everybody wants us to win. ”
"Then you're not done with the team to win. ”
"Me, whether I can play or not is still a question. ”
So far, Lu Yuan has played the role of a backup shooting guard for the team, and has little game experience, playing some half-baked games every time, and has not experienced a full game from beginning to end.
Bai Ye finished writing the last question, stood up, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and said to Lu Yuan: "Lu Yuan, have you never been online?"
Lu Yuan nodded, he really rarely surfed the Internet, and he didn't know how Bai Ye said this like Ge Yiming.
Bai Ye opened the browser, opened a post on the forum of Licheng Middle School and handed it to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan looked at it, and the title of the post was: Lizhong VS Mingguang, cheer for Lizhong, start crowdfunding, and give red envelopes to the basketball team if you win! The poster is the Las Vegas Sheep Defensive Assistant Coach in charge of the amoeba tactics.
A strange look suddenly appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes!
