"The dish is cooked, Xiaoyi will come over and put it on the plate." Yan Sheng in the kitchen shouted.
"It's coming! I really didn't expect you to have time to go home and have a look, sister. Yan Yi said with a smile.
"It's not our mother's birthday. In addition, the national finals of CHBL and CUBA are not held in my jurisdiction, so it is rare for me to be free when others report on it. Yan Sheng also smiled.
"When you say that, it looks like it's the semi-finals of CHBL. Turn on the TV and take a look. Yan Yi then remembered the game, "I don't know if Xiangbei can win, the opponent is Darong, who also has the Four Heavenly Kings." ā
"Daiei?" Yan Sheng's face changed, and he said, "For Liu Chuan, that may be the worst opponent. ā
"What do you mean by that?" Yan Yiqi said.
"Last year, when they were sophomores in high school, I did an interview with Utu." Yan Sheng recalled.
Utu Chaolu was born in the Alukorqin Banner under Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia. In Mongolian, Aru means Shanbei, and Korqin means archer. As the name suggests, this place is rich in warriors who ride horses and shoot arrows, and the folk customs are still fierce today, with animal husbandry as the main industry.
When Utu was born, he alarmed his neighbors in all directions. They had never seen such a slender boy, so they named him Utu Chaolu. Utu means long, and Chaolu means stone. They wanted the lanky boy to be as solid as a stone, and today it seems that their wish has indeed been granted.
When Utu was young, his father went out to work all year round to earn money. Later, his father thought that the education level in the big cities was better, so he took him out of the grassland. But what he didn't expect was that Utu did not study as hard as he thought, but embarked on the road of sports.
Utu, who had just finished kindergarten, came to Liaoyang City with his father. The school's physical education teacher, a recent retired long jumper, caught his eye on him for a simple reason. This first-grade elementary school student jumped 2.3 meters in a casual jump without any skills in physical education class.
Two years later, Utu won the long jump championship in the city-wide games on behalf of the school and transferred with his father. The physical education teacher was still annoyed and told Utu's father to let him continue to practice the long jump, saying that Utu would definitely become a national champion and even a world champion.
But Utu learned to swim in Jilin City. The school's athletic team leader happens to be a long-retired swimmer, and she forcibly detains Utu when she first sees him. When Utu tried to swim a few times, she was even more shocked.
"Big hands, big feet, tall, and body coordination is amazing!" She was so excited that she almost cried: "This kid was born to swim, and he will definitely win the Olympic championship in the future." ā
In the past few years, Utu has not disappointed her, winning all the championships of the primary school swimming competition, and winning countless glory for the school. But she was disappointed in the end, because three years later Utu learned to run in Harbin.
"It's a big foot, the ball of the foot is wide and thick, and the high and bulging instep has a strong grip, which can produce a great impact when stepping on the ground." The sprint coach said excitedly: "This kid is a genius who has not been met in ten years!" ā
In the end, Utu, who was in the second year of junior high school, left an astonishing record of 10.68 seconds in the 100 meters. In the third year of junior high school, he transferred to Daqing City.
"Do you like to play basketball?" A man asked him.
"What is basketball? Interesting? Utu replied casually. He has never cared much about other sports other than his major program, and in his opinion, as long as he is serious about doing a sport, no one can stop him from becoming number one.
But then, he finally got hooked on basketball.
"Abu (Dad), I seem to have found something I like." Utu excitedly said, "I love playing basketball! ā
"Kid, you have to know that if you keep practicing athletics or swimming, sooner or later you will get ahead. And our Chinese basketball is very weak, and for many years it has not been able to compete with the world powers. "Utu's father is not highly educated, but he is very open-minded. He respects the child's own choices. "But if you insist, go for it! Play basketball and get results, and don't let your former teachers see jokes! ā
"Don't worry, Abu! I will become the best basketball player in China! ā
But not long after this interview, Daei lost to Ming Peng again. Utu's dream still hasn't come true.
"Doesn't this mean that Utu is a genius among geniuses, he is simply an all-rounder in sports!" Yan Yi exclaimed.
"That's right, this may be the first time Liu Chuan has encountered a gap in talent in his life." Yan Sheng said: "Liu Chuan is already a well-known talent in the country, and Zhang Daoxian and Mao Zebei are just like that. But this time he may have met a stronger opponent than himself. ā
"Don't talk about it yet, I'll turn on the TV and see!" Yan Yi couldn't wait to press the remote control.
The bell at the end of the first half of the game happened to ring at this time, but several players from Xiangbei were still on the field on the screen, and it seemed that they had not recovered from the huge blow.
The scoreboard reads a desperate 43:20.

"I didn't know what the situation was, and I was pulled away by the other party with such an exaggerated point difference." Ye Jian looked unwilling.
"Their guards are so tall that they kill me." Yang Ping, who has always been calm, couldn't help but complain.
"You don't have to despair!" Li Li suddenly woke up the players with a loud shout: "The game is not over yet, are you just admitting defeat like this?" ā
"Of course not!" Ikebana replied loudly.
"If you want to win, you have to be serious. It's a very strong opponent and it will take us not only to work hard, but also to adjust our tactics and a little bit of luck. Li Lidao.
"Uncle, I don't understand one thing." Ikebana asked, "Why can't I cap that little flat head?" ā
"Because his shooting habits are different from ordinary people." Harushi explained: "His shooting action is not fast, but the shooting point is a little too high at the back, and the ball will shoot in a high arc after the shot. The defender feels like he's going to block his line, but it's actually below the arc of his shot. ā
"So I'm going to stick closer and jump higher?" Ikebana then understood.
"Actually, we played a lot better in the second half of the quarter, Liu Chuan's attack on their defensive formation from the side is effective, but our defense still needs to work a little harder." Li Lidao.
"It's not effective enough." Liu Chuan muttered to himself: "I only scored 20 points in the first half, and even if I scored 30 points in the second half, even 40 points would not be enough to catch up." ā
"Even if we can score 50 points in the second half, we have to guard against the opponent from scoring less than 27 points." Shi Jing calculated for a moment and felt collapsed.
"It seems that the only way is for me to defeat Utu head-on." At this moment, Liu Chuan's eyes were extremely firm, and he actually laughed.
