Chapter Forty-Nine: Rivals

Ding Hongxing looked at Tian Jun and Bian Shuangxi, who were lying not far away, and laughed, he laughed very happily, very happily, Tian Jun and Bian Shuangxi also laughed.

Today's game was tough, but they could feel that they had grown, and that this game had brought them more than the previous ten games combined, and there was nothing to fear them in the future.

Ding Hongxing can also feel that although this game can only bring him five attribute points, the growth of the game itself may be more useful than fifty attribute points, this kind of growth is at the spiritual level, and things at this level are difficult to get in the virtual space.

Seeing her son tired like this, Shen Shuzhen's eyes on the sidelines suddenly moistened, and she said to Ding Yuejin: "Why don't you go and help your son up!" ”

Ding Yuejin strode onto the court and pulled his son up, Ding Hongxing lay down for a while, it had been relieved a lot, he walked towards Tian Jun and Bian Shuangxi, and pulled them up one by one.

They walked to the side of the court, and Kong Xiaodong shouted at Ding Hongxing: "Brother Hongxing is the best!" ”

Ding Hongxing smiled and waved his hand at him.

Xu Dongcheng walked towards Ding Hongxing, stretched out his right hand and smiled: "Hongxing, thank you!" It was you who made me see such a wonderful game today, and I will come to watch the final the day after tomorrow, I hope you can still have a good performance! ”

Ding Hongxing shook hands with Xu Dongcheng, Xu Dongcheng turned around and wanted to leave, President Xiong came over and said, "Secretary Xu, we are going to eat at Guicheng Hotel now, you must not have eaten either, right?" Why don't you enjoy the light and have a meal together? ”

Xu Dongcheng patted President Xiong on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Old Xiong, I won't join in the fun, my lover is still waiting for me to eat at home!" You just have to entertain these heroes. ”

President Xiong nodded again and again to reassure, Xu Dongcheng smiled and waved his hand to Ding Hongxing and the others, and left with Li Shen.

Governor Xiong was very good at getting things done, so he asked the bus to take all the team members to a bathhouse on the street, so that they could take a hot shower, and had people buy the players a full set of clothes, pants, shoes and socks, because their changed clothes, pants, shoes and socks had already been soaked by the rain.

After Ding Hongxing and the others washed away their fatigue and came out with new clothes, President Xiong, who had been waiting outside, beckoned all the players to get on the bus and drove to the Guicheng Hotel.

At this celebration banquet, President Xiong, Vice President Xie and others were doubly enthusiastic about Ding Hongxing's family, but Ding Yuejin and Ding Hongxing's father and son both knew why they were so enthusiastic, so they had to get carried away, and their attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but more respected.

After eating, Ding Hongxing and the others rushed to the school as fast as possible, but they were still a little late.

When Ding Hongxing quietly slipped to his seat, Lu Chaohui wrote him a note again.

"You played the semifinals today, didn't you? Did you win? ”

"Win."

"The final is the day after tomorrow, right?"

"Yes."

"The day after tomorrow is the National Day, just rest, then I'll go to see your finals!"

"It's an honor!"

……

At the same time, in a room in the accommodation department of the Guicheng Hotel, a middle-aged man in his forties said to a young man about twenty years old with a solemn face: "Little soldier, the final the day after tomorrow is not so easy to play!" ”

If Ding Hongxing was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that Xiao Bing was the No. 10 core player of the Jianggang Youth Team, and he said to the middle-aged man: "What's the matter, Coach Wu, have you watched their game today?" ”

Coach Wu nodded and said, "Yes, although I believe that with the strength of the three of you, there can be no opponent in Guicheng, but after all, it is your opponent in the finals, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent, and winning all battles, so I took a look." ”

The soldier said casually: "What, who won that game?" Are they strong? ”

Coach Wu said: "The game was won by the ABC team, and their strength can be said to be not strong, but they have a foreign aid who is very strong. ”

The little soldier suddenly became interested: "Very strong? How strong? Which professional team retired player? ”

"No, it's a teenage middle school student."

Xiao Bing's interest disappeared all of a sudden: "How strong can middle school students be?" ”

Coach Wu shook his head with a solemn face and said: "Xiaobing, you can't despise him, his strength is really strong, I think except for you, there is no one in our youth team who can be stronger than him." He should be your arch-rival! ”

Xiaobing was immediately shocked, Coach Wu is a coach of their youth team, and also a scout, this time the Bank of China invited them three foreign aids, and by the way, Coach Wu was also invited, of course he has nothing to say when he looks at the players, but the strength of a middle school student player is really so strong?

Xiaobing has an advantage, that is, although he is conceited, he does not casually despise his opponent, he said to Coach Wu: "Coach Wu, then you can talk about his characteristics." ”

Coach Wu recalled Ding Hongxing's appearance on the court and said: "He is about ten centimeters taller than you, tall and strong, of course he is not as good as you in terms of personal skills, but he still has some advantages over you in terms of physical quality and defense." ”

Coach Wu carefully chose the wording, he knew that Xiaobing was the core player in the team, and he would definitely be able to be reused by the first team in the future, maybe he would enter the first team next year, and he was arrogant, and he couldn't hit his self-confidence.

'He's in good shape, he's covering a very large area on the field, he's in range from his own penalty area to the opponent's box, he's very fast with the ball, he's got a few hands, he's got a good pass, he's got a good long-range shot, and in this semi-final, they scored three goals, the first one was his pass, the last two were his long-range shots.

Xiao Bing's brows are furrowed more and more, according to what Coach Wu said, this person has no shortcomings?

He raised his own question, and Coach Wu began to think about it again: "Shortcomings? I really didn't find any obvious shortcomings in him, their opponents were also very strong in this game, the three foreign players were all players of the professional team, the field conditions were not good, the intensity of the game was enough, but his appearance was still very good. His appearance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is relatively balanced, coupled with his super body, although each item is not top-notch, but his overall strength is really good. ”

Xiao Bing said: "Then he is only a teenager, and he is from a wild road, so there are always some problems in terms of competition experience and competition control, right?" ”

Coach Wu said: "It's a little strange for me to say this, he is very old in the game, and his control of the game scene is also very good, not like a teenager at all." ”

Xiaobing nodded and said, "Well, Coach Wu, I know, I will definitely go all out in the final the day after tomorrow, and I will not underestimate the enemy!" ”

**********

On the afternoon of the second day of the semi-finals, Ding Hongxing went to Chang Zheng's billiards stall after school, he wanted to see how Xiaolong and Monkey had practiced their billiards skills in the past few days, and by the way, pointed out their problems in training.

As soon as he arrived at the billiards stand, Ding Hongxing was stunned, Xiaolong and Monkey were all wearing neat white shirts, black trousers, and their long hair was also cut off.

Ding Hongxing asked, "Xiaolong, what's wrong with you?" Dressed up so energetically to go to a competition? ”

Xiaolong looked back and hurriedly shouted, "Brother Hongxing, how do you see us dressed like this?" ”

Ding Hongxing nodded and said, "Well, that's good, it's much stronger than before." ”

The monkey said proudly: "Brother Hongxing, isn't this the last time you told us that playing billiards is a gentleman's sport, so we should pay attention to our image?" So we changed our image a little bit two days ago, how about it, it's okay, right? ”

A teenager said a little aggrieved: "It's like this, those who often come to play say that we look stupid." ”

The monkey slapped him on the back of the head and said, "You know a fart, what Brother Hongxing said must be good." What we want to open in the future is a high-grade billiards hall, how can we do it without an image or a little plain? ”

The boy shrank his head, not daring to speak.

Ding Hongxing couldn't help but laugh and said: "Monkey, you are right, you must have an image and a vegetarian zhì, but you scold and beat people are not considered vegetarian." ”

The monkey said embarrassedly: "I'm used to it, I didn't control it for a while." ”

Xiaolong smiled: "Brother Hongxing, I heard that you won yesterday, and you are going to play the final tomorrow, right?" ”

Ding Hongxing asked, "How do you know?" ”

Xiaolong said: "Of course we know about such a big thing, and we plan to cheer you on tomorrow afternoon!" ”

Ding Hongxing then understood why they collectively cut their heads, this was because he was afraid that he would not let them watch him play, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart: "Thank you!" Then you all go tomorrow afternoon, the finals start at five o'clock! ”

Several people nodded happily, and Xiaolong said: "Brother Hongxing, if you win the championship, the brothers will hold a celebration banquet for you!" ”

Ding Hongxing shook his head and said: "This is not necessary, I am playing for the Agricultural Bank of China, and they have food after every game." ”

Xiaolong said: "Okay, then we'll wait for Brother Chang Zheng to come back and then do it for you." ”

Ding Hongxing asked, "When will Brother Chang Zheng return?" ”

Xiaolong said: "It should be back in two or three days." ”

Ding Hongxing nodded, and then, he began to check the results of several people's practice in the past few days.

The results of the inspection made Ding Hongxing still very satisfied, several people have practiced very hard in the past few days, and some of the relatively simple basic strokes have been mastered well, and what is lacking now is the ability to use these poles steadily in actual combat, and there is the overall situation, these abilities can only be improved by long-term hard practice and more actual combat.

Ding Hongxing pointed out to them some problems they had in training, and then returned home.
