On the morning of September 20, the opening ceremony of the Provincial Games was held at the newly completed Provincial Stadium on Wulin Road in Hangzhou.

Around the sports field that has just been paved with cinder track, flags are waving and people are crowded. Music was sung through the loudspeakers, and hundreds of Chinese and foreign reporters flocked to the stadium to take pictures and interview more than 30 sports teams from all over Zhejiang.

Objectively speaking, under the present situation, the holding of such a grand sports meeting in Zhejiang Province, which is the hometown of Chairman Chiang, can indeed play a role in boosting morale and rallying the people's hearts, and the provincial and municipal governments have done quite well in organizing their work; through the vigorous propaganda of the government departments, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be held three days later, and the enthusiasm of the people has been fully aroused.

As early as three days ago, the whole city of Hangzhou was already full of a strong festive atmosphere, slogans were posted everywhere outside the city, and the streets and alleys were talking about topics related to the sports meeting, and the people with poor cultural life rarely encountered a grand event, and their enthusiasm was very high.

Yu Jishi, director of the security department, Lu Diping, governor of the province, and dozens of civil and military officials, as well as senior officials from various ministries sent by the central government, sat on the rostrum with great interest, and Wu Ming, as the coach of the sports team of the Zhejiang Provincial Security Force, attended the opening ceremony with the team, and stood on the field for more than two hours with more than 30 sports teams from all directions.

At the end of the ceremony, Wu Ming didn't pay attention to anything except Lu Diping's speech in a strong Hunan accent, and he was not in the mood to watch the upcoming track and field competition, so he led his team members to return directly to the military camp not far to the south.

Throughout Zhejiang, Wu Ming's popularity is even higher than that of his immediate boss, Yu Jishi.

The organizing committee's competition arrangement is still very level, the morning is the track and field competition, as well as the tug-of-war competition and horse running, the afternoon and evening are arranged basketball games, the competition venue is not only the provincial stadium on Wulin Road, but also the Zhijiang University gymnasium and the provincial government compound stadium.

Although these courts are all cement courts, the length, width and baskets are relatively formal, and the biggest advantage is that there are stepped stands around the courts, and the smallest provincial government compound stadium can also accommodate 1,000 people sitting and watching.

The basketball game is the top priority of the games, is the focus of national attention, there are seven teams in each of the upper and lower half districts, and the game arrangement of each team is relatively reasonable.

In these years, general nutrition can't keep up, and it's rare to see people who are more than 1.8 meters tall, so in the first basketball game, James, a 1.95-meter-tall player and coach of the Zhijiang University team. As soon as Horry appeared, he became a big star who was stunned and watched, and the military and political officials sitting in the VIP seats of the basketball hall of the provincial stadium grinned in admiration and envy in their hearts, and the US consulate officials and several American reporters who were invited to observe the show were proud.

First half, James. Horry did not play as a coach, the score was forty to twenty-six, the Zhijiang University team played very easily, the advantage was very obvious, and the opponent Qianjiang Shipyard team worked hard, but the gap in all aspects was too big.

The second half began, James. Horry wore the No. 10 jersey on the court, and the Qianjiang Shipyard team couldn't play, and without scoring a point in the first five minutes, the Zhijiang University team poured in seven balls, five of which were thrown by James on the blue bottom, and almost all the players and coaches of the participating teams who came to watch were very afraid of this American white basketball giant who was over 30 years old, and the newspapers also reported it repeatedly, calling him a world-class center.

Only Wu Ming felt James. Horry has no characteristics except for the advantage of height, not to mention the slow turn, and the explosiveness is also lacking, the center skills are good, but Wu Ming, the center forward who has such a defense, has a way.

After Wu Ming led the team back, he gave the players a tactical lesson again, marked the playing characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of the Zhijiang University team and the Qianjiang Shipyard team on the blackboard one by one, analyzed the performance of the two teams in all aspects, and finally told the players who gradually opened up in a very confident tone:

"The Qianjiang Shipyard team will definitely not be able to beat us, so there is no need to study him, the Zhijiang University team is indeed very strong, but it is not without shortcomings, their game with us is scheduled in the last game of the division competition, so there is no need to care about them for the time being, you just need to remember the few points I just said."

"Let's go back and rest now, gather on time at six o'clock, eat together, and then take the car to the provincial capital compound, the first game is ours, the opponent is a group of little white faces composed of the Hangzhou Normal School team, just use them to train."

At 7:20 p.m., the stadium of the provincial government compound was brightly lit, as if it were day, and the venue was surrounded by teachers and students of the normal school and officers and soldiers of the security forces.

Yu Jishi, director of the provincial security department, Liu Rulin, deputy director of the department, and Ma Zhizhai, chief of staff, sat in the specially set up VIP seats above the referee's table.

"Director Yu, your team's jerseys and shoes are very beautiful, the font and number on the back of the chest are very eye-catching, and the pre-game preparation is very careful."

The provincial finance director pointed to the security force players who were warming up on the field, and the fiery red jerseys and white huge numbers were very eye-catching, which made the players more imposing.

Yu Jishi said with a smile: "It's all made by Wu Ming's kid, but it's none of my business."

The director of the Department of Finance was stunned for a moment, and the surrounding officials immediately became interested, and looked in the direction pointed by Yu Jishi and Liu Rulin, and sure enough, he saw Wu Ming, who was wearing a long-sleeved sportswear and commanding the team to run blue warm-ups, and listened to Yu Jishi's introduction of Wu Ming as the coach and player of the team, and the officials were very surprised.

The game began with a whistle in a round of applause and cheers, Wu Ming wore the No. 13 jersey on the stage, playing as a defender, and the entire team's offensive and defensive organization was commanded and controlled by him, and he took advantage of the dead ball time and the offensive and defensive gaps from time to time to point out Chen Zhanhong, another defender wearing the No. 8 jersey.

As the game progressed, the audience became more and more surprised, the applause and cheers became louder and louder, the players of the security forces were quite active, and the cooperation was becoming more and more skilled, and the style of play was varied, very exquisite, the audience kept cheering, and they all said that the security forces team that was not favored was so powerful, and it is estimated that the following looks good

The game continued, Wu Ming, who was skilled in passing the ball and was elusive, did not shoot a single shot, and the other team members scored, Chen Zhanhong also jumped calmly in the gap between no defenses, and scored two long-range shots very chic and accurately, which caused the audience to applaud.

Nine minutes later, the coach of the Normal School called for a timeout, by which time the security forces players had scored 22 points, and the Normal School team had only scored a measly eight points under the opponent's tight defense, and the student players who had been full of confidence before the start of the game were completely stunned.

The civil and military officials in the VIP seat were all surprised, and the Minister of Finance asked Yu Ji enviously: "When did you become so powerful?" ”

Yu Jishi was in a particularly comfortable mood: "It's always been like this...... But today the players played very well, a little bit of a super level, and I was quite surprised."

The Minister of Finance, who has a short and fat corrupt body but loves basketball, was stunned for a moment, stared at Wu Ming, who was giving guidance to the players, and said for a while:

"Wu Ming's basic skills are really good, there is no one in the audience who can compare to him, the passing is accurate and timely, refreshing, with him organized on the field, the whole team is alive...... It's a good thing he can't shoot, otherwise if he runs into you, our government agency and the guard corps will not be sure. ”

Yu Jishi nodded frequently, but his heart was happy, he had already seen Wu Ming's intentions, and knew that Wu Ming was using this game to train, and guided Chen Zhanhong and all the team members to familiarize themselves with his technical and tactical arrangements, and several sets of tactics in training became more and more proficient.

At the beginning of the second half, Wu Ming really stopped playing as expected by Yu Jishi, and the task of organizing the whole team's offense and defense fell to the captain Chen Zhanhong, the team's overall advancement and cooperation did not have the fluency of the first half, and the normal school team also held back a force to grab points.

Just when the audience was fascinated, Wu Ming called a timeout, and Chen Shizheng, the chief of staff who served as the team leader, was responsible for handing the towel, and Wu Ming didn't care about the angry gaze of the opposing team's coach who was interrupted by the rhythm and momentum of the game, and took out the tactical board he had prepared in advance to write and draw, and taught the players who gathered around him.

The members of the security forces nodded frequently under the guidance of Wu Ming, and the No. 9 big man center with a height of 1.86 meters also asked Wu Ming a few words, Wu Ming pointed to the basket on the court, and drew a few lines on the tactical board, and the No. 9 big man center immediately grinned, and Yu Jishi, Liu Rulin, Ma Zhizhai and others in the VIP seat were so happy.

The game started again, the tactics of the security forces changed, the normal school team was very uncomfortable, and within three minutes the security forces were poured four goals into the combination of inside and outside, and they only scored one, and the score was far away again.

There was no suspense in the game so far, but Wu Ming was still shouting on the sidelines.

The Jianqiao Aviation School team and the Hangzhou Arsenal team, which arrived in advance to prepare for the second game, looked down on the two teams that were playing, and their coach didn't care about it for a while, but felt that the players of the security forces had made great progress, but this was not enough to threaten themselves, so they were not interested in the score, but they were interested in Wu Ming, who was the coach on the sidelines, and found that this guy's several shouts and commands were very level.

The match ended with a victory for the security forces, with a score of 68-36.

Wu Ming instructed the brothers to wipe their sweat, put on long clothes and trousers as soon as possible, and then led everyone to the seats occupied by a class of brothers in the two rows behind Yu Jishi, and sat down to watch the next game while chatting with Yu Jishi and Liu Rulin in a low voice.
