Just when the teams were in full swing preparing to show their talents, the National Basketball Association issued a notice, saying that due to the early start of the CBA, the national high school basketball league had to be accelerated, so the rotation was canceled, and all teams went to the capital Qingzhou City to draw lots and groups for the knockout round, and the game was over within a month. This means that the intensity of the game will increase significantly, and more importantly, if you are unlucky and are placed in a group with a strong team, you may be eliminated in the group stage.

After Wang Zhixiong received the notice, he was in the same mood as everyone, very surprised and angry, there are still three days to start the game, he has made full preparations for the first game, and now he has told him that this qiē is a bamboo basket for water, how can he not be angry.

"What, there's still a lottery?" Guo Jingqi shouted, "How to smoke, do they smoke or do we smoke?" Guo Jingqi asked Wang Zhixiong.

"Of course we smoked, tomorrow we will leave for the capital Qingzhou City, and then we will stay there until the game is over, you all go home and get ready, tell your family, don't let them worry about you." After Wang Zhixiong finished explaining, his eyes accidentally glanced at Yang Yang, Yang Yang subconsciously wanted to avoid Wang Zhixiong's gaze and look away, but immediately changed this action and looked at him with Wang Zhixiong's eyes.

"Let's go to Qingzhou City and draw lots, which means that we don't know our grouping until the day before the game, and we don't have time to prepare to study the opponent at all, I hope you have to show all your strength, and you must play in the group stage, understand?!" Wang Zhixiong then said to the players of Hanlin City No. 7 Middle School, he is right, under the premise of not having time to figure out the situation of the opponent, there is no need to hide the strength, and there is no telling which teams will be encountered in the group stage.

And all the people should explain it to each other, and then they disbanded and went home. Wang Zhixiong also canceled this afternoon's training, leaving them enough time to pack their bags and say goodbye to their families. After everyone left, Zhang Lei told Wang Zhixiong that he wanted to go back, Wang Zhixiong wanted him to have lunch before leaving, and Zhang Lei agreed.

The two chatted while eating, and most of the conversation was about the National High School Basketball League. "What do you think we'll get this time?" Wang Zhixiong raised his wine glass and drank it all at Zhang Lei. Zhang Lei looked at Wang Zhixiong, who was already a little drunk, and smiled slightly, "You should know this better than me, how well you get results is not the most important thing, wrapping Wang Ai is, is it?" After Wang Zhixiong heard this, his pupils suddenly closed, and he looked at Zhang Lei with a solemn face, and said, "What do you mean?" Originally, Zhang Lei was invited over because he knew more about other colleges and universities in the country, and he figured out that he let his players have a good understanding of their opponents. Zhang Lei didn't answer Wang Zhixiong for the first time, he still ate the food on the table very quietly, Wang Zhixiong was a little flustered, and then pretended to be calm and said: "You're right, you must protect Wang Ai, he is the baby of our school, if he is injured, we will be finished, but thank you for reminding me." Zhang Lei "hummed" and smiled, and said: "Are you really stupid to me, Coach Wang, don't pretend to be confused with me, okay!" Wang Zhixiong couldn't help but be annoyed, slapped the table hard, almost knocked the wine glass over, and said in a suppressed voice: "What do you want to say, don't go around the bend with me, if you have something to say!" Wang Zhixiong remembered that it was Zhang Lei who took the initiative to tell him about other teams, which made Wang Zhixiong even more guessed that Zhang Lei was ill-intentioned.

Zhang Lei couldn't hold back his mood when he saw Wang Zhixiong, so he laughed a few times and said calmly: "Your temper, no wonder your career is so short, you have to have half of Wang Ai's mentality, it is estimated that you can be much better." ”

When Wang Zhixiong heard this, he was still going around the bend with him, but he thought about it carefully and decided to talk to Zhang Lei. "You're right, I didn't expect Wang Ai to have such a heart and courage at such a young age, but what do you want to do, what is your purpose?" Wang Zhixiong's tone softened a lot, and Zhang Lei felt a lot more comfortable listening to it, so he said: "Wang Ai has a ball spirit, or a heavenly ball spirit, am I right?" When Wang Zhixiong heard this, his face changed color, not because Zhang Lei knew that there was a ball spirit, there were still many people in the previous generation who believed in the ball spirit, what made Wang Zhixiong puzzled was that since Zhang Lei knew that Wang Ai had a ball spirit, why did he hide it until now.

"Why do you pretend you don't know anything when you know it, and you are kind enough to come to us to tell us about other strong teams?" Wang Zhixiong asked.

"Well, I just want to see how strong the legendary Celestial Ball Spirit is?"

"You can't see it in the game? Is it necessary to go so far to see us again? Wang Zhixiong said.

"Wang Ai's projection ability has undoubtedly been fully demonstrated in the game, but you should remember that he finally had a breakthrough, and it was that breakthrough that made me want to learn the Heavenly Ball Spirit again." Zhang Lei's eyes lit up and he seemed very excited.

Only then did Wang Zhixiong realize that he had been too careless about the person sitting in front of him before, and he could even say that he was a little contemptuous, he never expected Zhang Lei to know so much. But he still didn't know what Zhang Lei's purpose was, why did he say these things before leaving, thinking of this, Wang Zhixiong could only give up his old face and ask Zhang Lei.

"And what was the result?" Wang Zhixiong wiped his mouth.

"The Celestial Ball Spirit is really strong, I didn't expect it to be so strong! Ishida was already very strong when he took over his father Shi Tao's ball spirit before, but he didn't expect it to be so vulnerable in front of Wang Ai, and if I guessed correctly, Wang Ai should have taken away another person's ball spirit in the middle of the third to fourth quarters of the last game. Zhang Lei said his conjecture unabashedly, although he didn't know what Wang Ai experienced during that time period. Wang Zhixiong was dumbfounded when he heard it, he couldn't speak at all, he didn't expect Zhang Lei to know so much, even more than he knew about the ball spirit, such a person was so deeply hidden, he really didn't know how many people like Zhang Lei in this world.

"yes, I also think he didn't think something was right in that quarter, but I couldn't figure out what was going on, and I asked him after the game and he just said he didn't know, how did you know that he took the ball from someone else?" Wang Zhixiong looked very surprised, in fact, if Wang Ai hadn't told him, he really didn't know what was going on.

Zhang Lei believed what Wang Zhixiong said just now, because even he himself couldn't tell the reason for this, "Then he deliberately hid it from you, not that I deliberately provoked your relationship, you must know that sometimes, the most dangerous enemy may be hidden by your side, but Wang Ai should be fine, you still have to cultivate well, don't let down such a good ball spirit." Zhang Lei said that the most dangerous enemy may be hiding around him, for some reason, Wang Zhixiong's face appeared in his mind, so Wang Zhixiong quickly shook his head, trying to get rid of that idea. Zhang Lei saw Wang Zhixiong shaking his head, thinking that Wang Zhixiong did not agree with his statement, so he sighed helplessly and said: "There are many things that we can't control, and all we can do is just ants shaking the tree!" It's a pity that such a good ball spirit, it's a pity that such a suitable person! Originally, Zhang Lei didn't plan to come to Hanlin City, but he couldn't help but be too curious about Wang Ai's lost ball spirit to take the initiative to come here, thinking of the speed at which Wang Ai turned back and ran, he couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Zhixiong heard Zhang Lei say this, he was even more panicked, his hands were a little shaky, thinking that Wang Zhixiong had also participated in the national team at the beginning, and he was also well-informed, but he was still frightened by Zhang Lei's words. Seeing Wang Zhixiong's appearance, Zhang Lei laughed again, then glanced at the time and said, "It's not early, thank you for seeing you off, I should also go." ”

Saying that, he got up and was about to go out, Zhang Lei moved like this, Wang Zhixiong reacted, hurriedly stood up, and followed Zhang Lei out. Wang Zhixiong still has too many doubts to ask Zhang Lei, but he knows that since the other party said that he is leaving, he will definitely not say any more, so he has to let Zhang Lei go first, maintain the relationship, and there will be time in the future.

When the two of them walked out of the restaurant, it was already late spring and early summer, and the temperature had a hint of heat, and the wind blowing over carried the temperature of the sun.

Zhang Lei opened the car door, fastened his seat belt and rolled down the window, saw that Wang Zhixiong was still standing in place, shook his head and said to Wang Zhixiong: "Be careful of those black guys in Hutan City, remember!" ”

Wang Zhixiong was stunned: Black guy! Underworld?
