Chapter Twenty-Four: Qingzi's Request

"Tomorrow is the decisive battle against Shonan, and although it doesn't matter if you win or lose, you still have to go all out to win. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Coach Li Li arranged the training task: "Today's training is still to reduce the intensity and don't fight too much. The manager assists Hanamichi in the training of the mid-pitch. ”

"Oh? Do you want to train me? Hanamichi held his chin in a figure-eight shape and said: "It seems that Uncle has clearly seen the heroic posture of my victory over the provincial No. 1 center in the last game, so he has to train me with all his might." ”

"Come, Ikebana-san, let's train." Qing Zi was already standing in front of him. The weather is getting hotter, and today she is dressed cooler, and she looks more graceful.

"Okay!" Ikebana smiled on his face, and he flattered, "What are we training today?" ”

"Let's start with a short mid-range shot." Mu Qingzi explained: "My brother also helped you train back then. ”

"Oh, I seem to have an impression when you say that." Ikebana seems to have realized, after all, he also spent a lot of thought and sweat back then. "But what is a short-to-mid shot?"

"Do you remember the substitute Gong Yi in Xiangnan back then?" The fat man interjected: "People use a height of 160cm to prevent you, and they let you throw short and medium shots, but you can't make it." ”

With a "bang", his head swelled and fell.

"Jumpshot is a technique that can be categorized by distance from the basket, and a common criterion is that 3-9 feet from the basket is a short shot, a 10-15 foot shot, a 16-foot shot to the three-point line, and a three-point shot beyond the three-point line," Harushi explained. ”

"What about those within 3 feet?" Hanamichi wondered.

"Idiot, you're going to go to the basket when you're within 3 feet!" Gao Gongwang got up and interjected.

With a "bang", his head smoked and he fell again.

"Let's start training!" Ikebana turned his face and said solemnly.

"Ikebana-san, there's still something wrong with your hand."

"Don't use your wrists, start with your elbows."

"It's good to hold the ball with your right hand and just hold it with your left hand."

At first, Hanamichi couldn't find the right posture, and the shot kept hitting the iron.

"Be careful not to deform your movements!"

"Come on, this group is much better."

Ikebana gradually regained the feeling of the past and began to shoot goals continuously.

"We've already made 15 of the 20 balls in this group, haha." Hanamichi said happily, "I'm really a genius." ”

"It's all the result of Ikebana-kun's hard training, it's almost dark, and you're still practicing here." Qingzi said with a smile.

Hanamichi noticed that it was getting late. There are not many people left to train, and Qingzi is still practicing with her, without complaint.

"Ah, it's so late to pay attention. I'll treat you to dinner. He said with some embarrassment.

"Okay." Qingzi is still generous, not at all timid.

"But I'm poor." Hanamichi blushed and said, "I can only invite you to eat snacks from the stalls." ”

"I like Malatang." Qingzi smiled: "Okay? ”

"Okay, okay!"

"I've known you for so long, and I still don't know your family situation?" Qingzi also had a mouthful of vermicelli in her mouth, and her speech was a little slurred.

Ikebana suddenly became energetic, and thought to himself: "Qing Zi is asking about my family!" Isn't that interesting to me? Oops, is my spring coming? ”

"Ikebana-san?" Qing Zi stretched out her hand and shook it in front of his eyes.

"Ah, I'm distracted" Hanamichi was stunned and replied, "My family is very poor, and I haven't had much money all the time." The parents didn't leave anything but a property. ”

"I was influenced by my older brother and grew up watching basketball games. If you ask me to say anything comforting, I don't know how to say it, but I know a lot of stars who come out of the slums. You know a basketball superstar a few decades ago named LeBron. James? Qingzi asked.

"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it." Ikebana doesn't understand these basketball knowledge and basketball stars.

"James was raised by a single mother. His mother gave birth to him at the age of 16 but was unable to earn money to support the family, while his grandmother died at an early age. Their mother and son depend on each other for their lives, they don't even have a house, and their lives are very hard. But he later became one of the greatest superstars in NBA history, and naturally he also became a rich man. It was basketball that changed his life, and Ikebana-kun must be able to do the same! Poverty is only temporary, and you will become a great basketball player. Qingzi said: "But what about your parents? Where did they go? ”

"My mother died when I was born, and my father died of a sudden illness when I was in the third year of junior high school, so I have been living alone. There are not many relatives, almost no contact, only the second uncle will remit living expenses to me every month. ”

"Huh? Has Ikebana-kun been living alone for a long time? How pitiful! "Qingzi is a kind-hearted girl, and compassion immediately overflows.

"Well, it's been three years. A person has been used to it for a long time. The only thing that makes me regret is ...... When my father suddenly fell ill, I was only in the third year of junior high school, and I was too young to be sensible, so I ran to the hospital next to me in a hurry, but I met a few high school hooligans who had a grudge when I went out, and I was beaten by them and delayed treatment. Hanamichi fell into painful memories: "If I had called 120 in time that time, maybe my father would still be alive now." ”

"Don't think so...... You always like to take responsibility for yourself, there is no need. Qingzi enlightened: "Hanamichi-kun is very strong and kind. You're already growing into a great person. ”

"Of course, he's not a good dad either. Otherwise, I wouldn't be a thug. Hanamichi forced a smile: "But sometimes I really miss him, and he is the only relative in my heart." ”

"You don't have any relatives, but you have a lot of friends. There is Yang Ping, there is Gao Gong Wang, and I ......" Qing Zi's voice gradually became inaudible, and finally revealed a childlike demeanor and said: "Hanamichi-kun, in fact, I have something to say, I wanted to say it to you a long time ago, but I always feel that it is not time to say this. ”

"What is it, tell me quickly!" Hanamichi frowned, he was in a hurry.

"It's not time yet." Qingzi groaned unconsciously, thought about it, and was about to open her mouth but stopped talking.

"I'm dying!" Hanamichi slandered, but he didn't dare to say it to his face.

"You take this and open it after the national competition, okay? You'll understand it all. Qing Zi's face turned red, and she took out a letter from her school bag, "Promise me, don't open the package in advance!" ”

"Okay, I promise you." Although ikebana is sometimes a scoundrel, it has always been true to Qingzi.

"I have only one request right now." Qingzi stared at him seriously and said, "Lead Xiangbei to win the championship of the national competition." If it's Hanamichi-kun, you can definitely do it. ”

"If you don't say it, I have this intention!" Hanamichi smiled: "I'm a genius!" ”
