Chapter 4: Rising to the limelight

Wang Zhixiong, the head coach of the No. 7 middle school basketball team on the first floor of the arena, is watching his main players practice tactics, in the past two years, in fact, the results of the No. 7 middle school team are quite good in the city, as the only middle school that can compete with the city No. 1 middle school in the city high school basketball league, he is the head coach of the outstanding achievements. Of course, his vision is quite accurate, and he discovered and cultivated Lin Xiangyu, a basketball genius, and the master and apprentice worked together to bring out the majesty of the Seventh Middle School. But at this time, his mood is quite complicated, because the city's high school league will start in a month, and he is determined to win the championship this year, but he can't help but worry after hearing that the first middle school has recruited a very strong quarterback Han Chao. As a center, Lin Xiangyu not only has to take on the responsibility of grabbing rebounds and scoring on the inside, but also commanding his teammates on the court, which is undoubtedly too much pressure for a center, so he urgently needs a scorer to share the burden of scoring, after all, scoring is the most important thing in basketball. Wang Zhixiong had already discovered this problem, but the talented quarterbacks were all recruited by Yizhong, and he was at a loss for it. He remembered the game on the second floor, so he thought about going upstairs to see if he could spot any more talented players. I just took two steps and shook my head with a smile, how can there be the person I want in this kind of competition, forget it. Looking back at the players who were working hard to practice shooting, he sighed and went upstairs with his hands behind his back.

At this time, the game on the second floor has been carried out in the third quarter, the freshman team is twenty points behind, the freshman team has the ball, a freshman wearing the No. 3 team uniform controls the ball and advances to the midfield, the player who defends him is Yu Bin, both sides have fallen into position, No. 3 dribbles at the top of the arc to break through to the right, Yu Bin quickly follows, and at this moment, a big man about two meters tall wearing a No. 34 jersey cuts out from the inside line and blocks Yu Bin's defensive line. At the moment when player No. 3 made a quick stop and was about to make a jumper, 34 quickly turned around to ask for a gap, and then reached out to catch the ball that No. 3 feints to shoot, and scored a beautiful layup. Wang Zhixiong saw these series of actions in his eyes, and thought that this No. 34 speed and footsteps were okay, and the card position was also good, which was a material that could be made. Then the school team substitute players launched a counterattack, at this moment they must give the freshmen a dismount, of course, the overall strength is much higher than the freshmen, after all, he has been under Wang Zhixiong for more than a year, although he is not the main player, he has seen more practice and more experience, and his mentality is different.

After a few more rounds, the offensive burden on the freshman team's side is basically supported by No. 34 alone, and on the other hand, the school team's substitute side is different, everyone is showing their strength, all kinds of dribbling breakthroughs, emergency stop jump shots, but Wang Zhixiong has been teaching a lot less tactical cooperation, and it is almost the same way as playing wild ball. But this style of play is very personal state, if you don't feel good, you still can't score points, just like the school team now, everyone wants to score, and the consequence of the director is that he can't cooperate, and there are frequent mistakes. Wang Zhixiong saw that he was not leaving now, he knew that the talented striker who had been specially recruited on the 34th had already been recruited, and now he seemed to have quite solid footwork, and his physique was also considered superior.

Unconsciously, in the fourth quarter on the court, the score of the school team's continuous offensive errors has been chased to 65:59, only 6 points away, the school team members looked at each other, and they were a little worried, but then they all understood, they realized that they should use cooperation to beat this new team down. At this time, the freshmen called a timeout when they were in possession, and was replaced by a young man with a delicate face and a slightly thin body, who wore the number 7 jersey with a puzzled expression on his face.

The freshman team still pushed the ball into the midfield on the 3rd, passed the ball to the 34th, after receiving the ball, he was close to the defender with his back, everyone including Wang Zhixiong felt that he was going to attack again, at this time the ball was passed by him to the No. 7 nearly two meters away from the three-point line, and shouted "throw" to the No. 7, the person who defended the No. 3 was Yu Bin, he didn't expect to be able to shoot at such a distance from No. 3, so he didn't defend closely, but he saw the ball out of his hand, After drawing a perfect curve in the air, it falls steadily into the frame. Everyone on the field looked at this No. 7 in disbelief.

"It's lucky, it can't be helped." Yu Bin shrugged.

Number 34 patted Number 3 on the head and whispered a few words in his ear. The varsity substitutes didn't pay attention to the ball at all, and probably everyone present was surprised for a while: this man was in good luck. Although Wang Zhixiong didn't care, after he took a closer look at the No. 7 player, he still had a strange but indescribable feeling in his heart.

Changing the school team's offense, it was not bad to run, so that the center wanted to get a vacant position under the basket, and at the moment of shooting, the No. 34 unexpectedly moved to the basket and gave a block! Wang Zhixiong shouted in his heart: Good consciousness, speed!

At this time, the frequent mistakes made the school team players a little explosive, they were all eager to score, but they had not played very well with the cooperation, although the overall personal strength was high, but the continuous non-scoring made them more frizzy, this vicious circle Wang Zhixiong was very angry in his eyes, "These stinky boys, lose my face!" ”

The ball returned to the hands of the freshman team again, the position of No. 7 was still more than a meter from the three-point line, No. 34 looked at No. 7's position after the free throw line flank to the ball, and hit it with his back, and quickly passed the ball to No. 7 after attracting enough attention, and it was another rustic shot, and the ball went in again. At this time, the score had chased to 65:65, and the score was even.

"Damn, so accurate?!" The audience has already said that it is accurate.

The other eight of the ten people on the field were also a little panicked, especially the five people on the school team who were not just panicked. But they think it's more by accident and lucky.

"Yu Bin, you should guard against them No. 3!"

"yes, you can't let him vote like that." The school team urged Yu Bin to defend. It's not that Yu Bin doesn't defend, who would have thought that he would shoot directly when he stood in that position? There is still a distance of more than one meter from the three-point line, and what to do if the close defense is broken through, the key is that Yu Bin didn't expect to be able to shoot in that position.

There was still the last minute left in the clock, the school team had the ball, the ball was brought to the backcourt, and after a few consecutive key positions reversed the ball, there was finally a gap, which was exposed by the defense of the freshman team's No. 7. Wang Zhixiong took a look at it and thought to himself how this No. 7 defense was so bad that Yang Yang was selected.

Yu Bin shook off No. 7 near the free throw line, and with a beautiful jumper, the ball went in.

The freshman team organized the last attack, and this time Yu Bin has been seriously defending the opposite No. 7, for fear that he will accidentally score again. In the end, it was No. 34's quick turn that the ball stole No. 7, although No. 7 got the ball, Yu Bin's defense followed very tightly, and he just didn't want him to shoot. But the opposite No. 7 doesn't seem to be looking at his defense at all.

"What !!"

Wang Zhixiong was also stunned at this moment, only to see that No. 7 didn't even shoot the ball, and directly made a dry pull-out jumper, although Yu Bin followed closely to interfere, but this person's shooting speed and bounce height were much stronger than Yu Bin, Yu Bin's whole person was almost pounced on No. 7 but still couldn't stop the ball, and scored again.

"How is this possible!!" Wang Zhixiong was completely stunned. The audience also stood up after 3 seconds of silence and cheered loudly, the freshman team won! And the freshman team on the field all rushed to No. 7 and celebrated excitedly. The members of the school team walked to the lounge with expressionless faces, and the No. 7 hurriedly pushed away his teammates and walked in front of Yu Bin, "You are Yu Bin, right?" He asked.

"yes, what, I think it's great that you scored a few goals!"

"Really?" As he spoke, he picked up the basketball on the ground, glanced at the basket and threw it, and the ball fell into the frame with a "bang". Seeing this scene, the crowd was suddenly silent, this is a shot in the midfield, just like that?!

"My name is Wang Ai." Wang Ai looked at Yu Bin's gloomy eyes at this time and said. "Basketball is a kind of faith, it's not for you to show off everywhere, and besides, people like you deserve to play basketball?" Wang Ai continued to Bin in a contemptuous tone, and he didn't know how the word "faith" popped out of his mouth, so he said it. Speaking of this, Yu Bin suddenly grabbed Wang Ai's collar, and his teammates next to him hurriedly dragged Yu Bin away when they saw this. Yu Bin was speechless at this time, but just stared at Wang Ai viciously, his eyes as if he was about to erupt fire.

Wang Ai didn't speak anymore, just raised his hand in front of his face and gave Bin a middle finger. At this moment, Wang Ai didn't know what he was thinking, he raised his eyes to look at the audience, everyone was staring at him, and then cheered and applauded. Wang Ai suddenly felt a burst of warmth in his chest, like the warm sunshine after autumn, like the comfort of being able to drink a cup of wine in winter. He seemed to truly appreciate the meaning of basketball.

Wang Zhixiong stayed where he was for a few minutes and then hurriedly walked downstairs, looking as if he had found some treasure. Then he went straight to the school basketball office and asked Mr. Xie, who was in charge of counting the number of games, for a list of people who had just played. "No. 7, team, it's him, Wang Ai, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Lao Wang, why are you so excited, winning the lottery? Then I'll have to eat. Teacher Xie said jokingly.

"Please, must please, haha..."
