Volume 1 A New Path Chapter 14 Gambling Fights
"Damn, how do you feel like your kid has grown a little taller." As soon as he arrived at school on Monday, Xu Qiang stared at Mo Ran with round eyes, a little incredible.
"Have you grown taller? How I didn't find out. Mo Ran was also a little surprised, he experienced a stage of crazy development in junior high school, thinking that he would most likely stay at the threshold of 170 and would not grow longer. It seems that after the body was transformed, the height also began to develop.
"Forget it, it's a good thing to be able to grow." Xu Qiang said with some envy, "Last Friday, we didn't play basketball for long, and then we dispersed, and we didn't feel it." Speaking of which, Xu Qiang was still a little lonely.
For a relatively innocent child, it is difficult to be happy when there is an estrangement with friends.
Mo Ran just patted Xu Qiang on the shoulder and didn't say anything, just like himself, sometimes he is too poor, and even friends are more luxurious, when a person who doesn't dislike you is willing to associate with you, often because of his financial ability, he doesn't allow himself to go out with his friends on weekends and after school, resulting in a loose relationship and not strong enough.
So for this fat man who can play with himself, Mo Ran cherishes it very much.
"But there's a physical education class in the afternoon, so let's have some fun." Xu Qiang said happily that a carefree life has created a carefree fat man, who thinks about how to eat and how to play all day long, which sometimes makes Mo Ran really envious.
The two of them didn't notice that Cheng Long, who came in at the door, had a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
In the first class of the afternoon, a group of male students on the playground gathered under the basketball court after the physical education teacher announced the disbandment.
"I said, Mo Ran, have you forgotten what I said last week? Don't play with us in the future, get out, Momo-san. ”
The originally harmonious atmosphere was instantly frozen by Cheng Long's words.
"I said Cheng Long, this basketball court is not your home, why don't you give Mo Ran to play." Xu Qiang couldn't help it anymore, Cheng Long was already too much on Friday, and he still didn't give up.
"Why? Can't do it with strength, fatty, don't you accept it, so let's do it, I'm not an unreasonable person, go it alone, dare you? Don't touch the basketball in the future, don't dare? Don't say I'm bullying you, you have two wheel battles, five goals and three wins, whatever you want. ”
"Grass! What would not dare. Xu Qiang couldn't stand Cheng Long's agitation, so he burst into battle.
Looking at the indifference of the group of people around him, Mo Ran was very moved by Xu Qiang's maintenance, and smiled at Xu Qiang: "Qiangzi, we can't be looked down upon, right, we can do what we want, let's carry it together." ”
Xu Qiang nodded heavily, and communicated with Mo Ran, thinking about how to fight later, there is indeed a gap, but if you arrange your tactics well, you will not necessarily lose.
Cheng Long watched the movements of the two and whistled disdainfully.
"Mo Ran, I'll go first, the first three goals, I try to win one or two goals, although it is very difficult, but I will definitely fight, the last two goals you come, I defend a little harder, when the time comes, he will be tired and tired, the last two goals, you strive to win him with a physical advantage."
"I said you guys are crooked, wait for the time." Cheng Long's slightly mocking tone made Xu Qiang feel angry.
"Okay, you say how to fight." Xu Qiang walked into the three-point line and stood still.
"The fat man goes first? Anyway, it's the same, okay, you go first, don't say I'm bullying you. ”
The rules of heads-up are that the win is followed by the serve, and the defence is changed after the foul is committed.
If Cheng Long is allowed to take the ball first, relying on his height, skill and speed, it is likely that he will directly end the game with a string of threes, so for Cheng Long's handicap, Xu Qiang did not refuse, but picked up the ball with a serious face.
Slowly, Xu Qiang's hand holding the ball became steady, and a sense of confidence surged in his heart, "Even if there is a gap, it will not lose too badly." Xu Qiang told himself in his heart.
But the next moment, Xu Qiang understood the real gap, started with the dribble, and before he could break through, he had already broken the ball by Cheng Long, who was the head of the hand.
Nice turns, dribbles, three-step layups, score. Cheng Long used his skillful skills to tell all the students on the field why he was able to enter the school team.
"First ball." The contemptuous words showed Cheng Long's self-confidence. Xu Qiang's face was a little ugly, and the other party slapped his face nakedly, but he had no choice, and his confidence at the beginning seemed a little ridiculous.
"Defend, fight." Xu Qiang re-encouraged himself, on the court, Xu Qiang has always been very serious, maybe he is not talented enough, maybe he is ugly because of his figure, but this is his favorite, even if he loses nothing, on the court, he must persevere.
Because the defense was very dead, Cheng Long's second ball was not as easy as the previous one, frowning slightly, Cheng Long accelerated the speed of dribbling, and it was too slow to score in line with his identity as a master. Quickly dribble in front of Xu Qiang, suddenly turn right, turn the ball behind Xu Qiang with his back to Xu Qiang, and then quickly turn left, and quickly run past Xu Qiang's left side, pick up the basketball that just bounced, continue to dribble, one-handed dunk, extremely gorgeous man-ball separation, and shocking dunk, proving that the gap is not made up by hard work.
Xu Qiang looked at the basketball that fell from the basket blankly, as if he couldn't accept it for a while, and laughed self-deprecatingly, this is the gap! I have been playing basketball for 5 years, since I was 12 years old, although I am not a professional, but I have been working so hard and so seriously, weekends, school, winter and summer vacations, never stopped. But it's still not as important as the genius, talent, and talent that has been in contact with basketball for three years.
Shaking his hair, Cheng Long showed a smile that he thought was handsome, waiting for the screams of the girls watching the game, in fact, the desired effect is indeed there, whether male or female classmates next to him, they are full of words such as "Cheng Long is too powerful", "Cheng Long's skills are really good", "Oh my God, dunk, this is too handsome." Discussions.
Cheng Long, whose vanity was satisfied, was very satisfied, and did not launch an attack on the third ball, holding up the ball with one hand, bending down, pushing, and the ball slowly rolled to Xu Qiang's feet. "Oops, I didn't hold the ball." Cheng Long's faint voice came out, but it was a great insult to Xu Qiang.
But Xu Qiang wanted to win, not to mention that there was no such thing as concession in the game.
"Whether you look down on me or pity me, this ball, I have to prove myself." Pick up the ball, dribble quickly beyond the three-point line, and quickly turn back, make a layup, and the ball goes in!?
Xu Qiang was a little stunned for a while, but when he turned around, he saw Cheng Long standing in place without moving at all.
Clenched his fists, Xu Qiang only felt a fire burning in his chest, such a goal was more humiliating than his own loss.
At this time, Cheng Long, who was standing outside the three-point line, said sarcastically: "Do you think I am sympathizing with you, I could have made a string of threes, but I let you have a ball because of him." Cheng Long pointed to Mo Ran, who was silent on the side, "Three balls to get you fat man, it's too boring, I'm going to blow you all up, although a string of three feels good, but it feels better to blow you up, now, I can give the ball to our dear little Momo." ”
Xu Qiang hesitated, he was humiliated, so he simply suffered humiliation to the end, there was no need to let his brother continue this humiliation.
