The round-robin group stage is coming to an end, and Southwest Institute of Technology has been ranked first in the group. This year's entry into the knockout round is already a certainty.

In the remaining few games, everyone can play easily, mainly to continue to run in the team.

This game was nothing, the opponent was Fengzhou University of Finance and Economics, and they had no hope of playing the knockout round this year. Normally, the two teams are playing a game that has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Fengzhou Finance's style of play is based on fierce defense, and the offense is weak. All the team members are strong and fierce.

Because this game did not affect the final appearance, Southwest Institute of Technology let Meng Ze play the starter and Tang Yong rested. Tang Yong is already a senior and has graduated this year, so he needs to train a small forward to replace Tang Yong next year. So in unimportant games, it is often Meng Ze who plays more time than Tang Yong.

In the first half of the game, everyone's situation was relatively normal. Fengzhou Finance is still defensive, I don't score much offensively, and I can't let you score easily. However, Southwest Institute of Technology has too many scoring points, Xiao Mu can shoot suddenly, Meng Ze can shoot suddenly, Xu Xiaofan can shoot from afar, Chen Ye attacks under the basket, except for Qin Junbei's weak offensive ability, the other four are all attacking players.

In this way, Fengzhou Finance and Economics suffered a little bit, preventing this, missing that, preventing that, and leaking another one. always demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall, and at the end of the final half, it was already more than ten points behind.

In the second half of the game, when they came up, the players of Fengzhou Finance and Economics felt a little like giving up, and they were not as positive as in the first half. was broken through by Xiao Mu and Meng Ze one after another. The coach of Fengzhou Finance immediately called a timeout and reprimanded the players loudly, and the scolding of their coach could be heard here at Southwest Institute of Technology.

From the restart of the game, it was obvious that Fengzhou Finance's defensive intensity had been strengthened, even more ferocious than in the first half.

The next two attacks of Southwest Institute of Technology were destroyed by the defense of Fengzhou Finance, and at the same time, Southwest Institute of Technology also prevented the attack of Fengzhou Finance and Economics.

Qin Junbei grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately passed the ball to Xiao Mu, at this time Meng Ze had already rushed to the backcourt of Fengzhou Finance. Xiao Mu didn't dribble, and directly found Meng Ze with a long pass.

After Meng Ze received the ball, there were no defenders in front of him. So Meng Ze took the ball straight to the basket, jumped high, and was about to make a split.

But the defenders behind Meng Ze found that there was no way to prevent Meng Ze's attack. So he chose a more dangerous move, behind Meng Ze, pushing Meng Ze's waist. Meng Ze had already jumped up, and there was no way to protect himself. flew straight out of the field and fell heavily on the floor.

Everyone immediately rushed over and pulled Meng Ze up, seeing that Meng Ze's head was already bleeding.

The coach immediately called a timeout, and after inspection, it was found that it was not serious, but the skin on his forehead was broken. Meng Ze also wanted to play, but the coach did not agree and asked Tang Yong to replace Meng Ze.

Meng Ze is a teammate that Xiao Mu met at Southwest Institute of Technology, and he is also a good friend who trains every day. was injured by the opponent's foul today, and Xiao Mu was very angry.

On the court again, Fengzhou Finance was sentenced to a technical foul. There was another offensive opportunity after the free throws from Southwest Institute of Technology, and Xiao Mu dribbled to organize the attack. This time Xiao Mu did not choose to pass, after two consecutive feints, he hit the basket directly, the opponent's center jumped up to block, Xiao Mu jumped high and smashed the ball on the center's head, and knocked the opponent's center to the ground. The referee also awarded a defensive foul on the opponent.

In the next game, Xiao Mu was even more courageous, scoring consecutive points with penalties.

Originally, Xiao Mu's main job was to organize the offense, and when the offense was blocked, he attacked personally, and Xiao Mu only scored 10 points in the entire first half. But seeing Meng Ze injured and leaving the field, Xiao Mu's fighting spirit was stimulated.

He made consecutive strong hits, and caused the opponent to foul many times, and even threw free throws, and at the end of the game, he scored 46 points. In one fell swoop, it set a new league scoring record.

Originally, the coach wanted Xiao Mu to get off the court in the fourth quarter, but Xiao Mu insisted on playing the whole game, and he kept attacking with all his might. Fengzhou Finance, who fought in the end, had no temper at all, but hoped that time would go quickly and end this difficult torture as soon as possible.

The students in the stands couldn't stand it anymore, watching their team being pressed to the floor by others and rubbing, as if their hearts were pressed to the floor and rubbed. The game wasn't over yet, and there weren't many people left in the stands.

After the game, Meng Ze went to the hospital for an examination, and finally found a slight concussion, and went back to rest for half a month.

In this game, the classmates of Southwest Institute of Technology also saw it on TV and the Internet, and this was the first time everyone saw Xiao Mu go crazy. Every student who watched this game was amazed by Xiao Mu's technique, strength and courage.

The next day, someone posted an article on the Internet, titled "Soul Devouring Descends, Demon Blocks and Kills Demons, Buddha Blocks and Kills Buddhas". and also accompanied by a photo of Xiao Mu's violent deduction, on which Xiao Mu looked murderous and domineering.

It was also this battle that Xiao Mu had the nickname "Soul Eater", and it was also this battle that established Xiao Mu's position in the league.

Back at school, Xiao Mu also saw this article, he looked at the photo and asked Song Hao, "Is this me?" Is it so scary? ”

Song Hao glanced at the photo, and then looked up at Xiao Mu, "It doesn't look like it, but that day, you were indeed like this, as if you were a different person." I guess no one will dare to mess with you kid in the future, it's too scary to go crazy. ”

Xiao Mu smiled helplessly, the class has not been to it, so he will leave such a reputation.

The group stage ended quickly, and Southwest Institute of Technology got its wish and entered the knockout round with the first place in the southern region. The knockout rounds will start one month after the start of school next year.

It's the off-season, and all the players can finally rest, just train two days a week, and spend the rest of the time preparing for the final exams.

Xiao Mu has not been to class this semester, the college arranged for Xiao Mu to go to each teacher separately, and the teachers of each subject drew the key points for Xiao Mu, and then asked Xiao Mu to go back to study by himself, if there is a problem, you can find the teacher at any time.

Xiao Mu goes to the training gym every day, mainly to study, and when he is tired of studying, he goes to shoot a basket.

On Saturday, after taking a nap at noon, Xiao Mu made the bed and cleaned up the desk. Because this afternoon is the time for the student council to check the dormitory, Xiao Mu usually has a competition, and Song Hao and they don't need Xiao Mu to clean up. Now that Xiao Mu has no competition, he can't go easily, so he sweeps the floor and cleans up the house with Song Hao, Chen Jingming, and Zhang Zhiheng.

After Zhang Zhiheng cleaned up his bed and desk, he said that he had something to do and left first.

Xiao Mu asked Song Hao, "Why is this kid so busy, and he usually doesn't have time to work?" ”

"You two are busy people, you have competitions, and you are now the head of the organization of the student union, so you are busier than you."

"That's really hard work for the two of you, let's invite you two to dinner in the evening."

Chen Jingming threw down the broom, "Okay, you're so busy all day, we haven't gone out to eat together for a long time." ”

"Okay, call Zhang Zhiheng later and ask him to come back early in the evening."

Chen Jingming said: "It's hard for him to say, I heard that there is an event to prepare today. ”

Song Hao doesn't care, he can't affect Xiao Mu's dinner because of Zhang Zhiheng, "If he likes to go, if he doesn't go, let's go together." ”

Xiao Mu said: "Okay, how about taking you to try Northeast cuisine?" ”

Song Hao came to the spirit, "Okay, is there an authentic place?" ”

"Yes, I go there often, it tastes good, it's so decided, I can contact the hotel."

Chen Jingming and Song Hao agreed, and Xiao Mu sent a WeChat message to the proprietress and asked her not to prepare beef and eggs, but to change it to a few stir-fried dishes.

After everything was cleaned up, the three of them sat and chatted, waiting to check the hygiene.

Xiao Mu looked up and saw that his bed was not as neat as Zhang Zhiheng, and he saw that Song Hao and Chen Jingming were not much better than his own. Just asked, "This chapter of Zhiheng is a good quilt, there are troops at home, right?" ”

"I really don't know, but yours is a bit mysterious, and if you don't get it right, you will be deducted points."

"Why? Mine is no worse than yours. ”

"Then you see, none of us are too bad, but the three of us are not very up to standard. Then, when you check it, you can only pick the worst buckle. After Song Hao finished speaking, he was happy with Chen Jingming.

Xiao Mu glared, "Is there anything else like this?" ”

Xiao Mu stood up, his head, stretched out his hand, and made Zhang Zhiheng's quilt even more messy than his own.

Song Hao and Chen Jingming were dumbfounded, "Hey, what are you doing here?" ”

Xiao Mu smiled evilly, "Who do you think is the worst this time, who should be detained?" ”

Song Hao said, "Big brother, you're too bad, aren't you all the same, it's all the same for your dormitory, are you missing a chord in your head." ”

"You're stupid, you can watch it for a while, so you can have a good look."

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door, and it was the students who had come down from the student council to check the hygiene.

The two of them went into the room and looked at the bathroom first, and then at each person's desk. No problems were found, and they were all satisfied. Finally looked up at the bed, this time they looked up, both of them frowned a little, and the last classmate pointed to Zhang Zhiheng's quilt and asked, "Why is this folded like this?" That's not going to work. ”

Xiao Mu came over immediately, "Classmate, this is the bed of Minister Zhang Zhiheng, the head of your student union organization, he was planning to clean up with us just now, and the president of the student union called and said that the student union had something important." Aren't you in a hurry to go over to the meeting, and let me tell you that next time you must fold it well, so that you can raise your noble hands. Saying that, Xiao Mu took two bottles of water and handed them to the two classmates.

"No thanks!" The two of them excused themselves from the water handed over, "It turned out to be Minister Zhang's dormitory, I saw him hurriedly walking to the office building just now, saying hello, and I didn't say anything." ”

Xiao Mu hurriedly said, "Maybe I'm in a hurry to go back, forget it." ”

Another student said, "I know that there is a fundraising preparation meeting this afternoon, and the leaders have gone to the meeting. Okay, nothing, just pay attention next time, then let's go. ”

Xiao Mu said while sending it, "Thank you two, when Minister Zhang comes back, I will definitely tell him that you are working hard." ”

When Xiao Mu closed the door, Song Hao and Chen Jingming inside had already collapsed happily on the desk.

Chen Jingming said, "You are too bad, this is okay." ”

"That is, since we have such an important person in our dormitory, we must make good use of it. Isn't it all wasted, isn't it? Is it usually the two of them who come to check? ”

"Yes, it's them every time."

"That's okay, as long as our dormitory is not too bad in the future, we won't deduct points."

Song Hao suddenly realized, "yes, why didn't I think of it." ”

Xiao Mu picked up his schoolbag, "Okay, I'll go first." I'll contact Zhang Zhiheng in a while, you guys are waiting for me here at 5 o'clock. ”

After speaking, Xiao Mu went to the training hall to study.

And just like that, soon, the exam came.

On the first day, Xiao Mu followed Song Hao and Chen Jingming to take the first subject.

This is the first time that the students have seen Xiao Mu come to the classroom, and the boys can often see it in the dormitory, some can still say a few words, and some can't be named. Some of the girls went to the gymnasium to watch Xiao Mu's game, and most of them saw Xiao Mu come to the classroom for the first time.

When everyone saw Xiao Mu walking into the classroom, they all cheered and applauded.

Song Hao also added fuel and vinegar, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the hero of our class, Xiao Mu!" ”

Xiao Mu was sad to death, gave Song Hao a punch, and then greeted everyone, "Hello everyone." Then quickly find a place to sit down. Sneaking is like a thief who has committed a crime for the first time.

After a few days of exams, it's finally over.

Everyone packed up their things and prepared to go home for the New Year, and the results were released in time. Xiao Mu was surprisingly second, and everyone in the dormitory shouted for Xiao Mu to have a treat.

"I didn't take the first test, so you can find the first one to have a treat."

Song Hao said shamelessly: "The first person is the girl, it has nothing to do with us, let's find the best boy to take the test, right?" Chen Jingming also echoed.

"Is there anyone like you? Haven't eaten? Can't find a reasonable reason? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, see you at night. We study in class every day, you train and play every day, and in the end your grades are better than all of us, and you have to be treated. ”

Xiao Mu couldn't help it, "What did you eat that night?" ”

Chen Jingming said, "It's still the same last time, the Northeast cuisine is very delicious." ”

Zhang Zhiheng also said, "I didn't eat it last time, this time I ordered an extra dish and made it up for me." ”

"I'm really convinced of your gang, so I contacted the hotel to make an order?"

Song Hao is afraid that something will change, "Okay, it's decided." ”

The next day, everyone packed up and left the dormitory one after another and went home for the New Year.

When Xiao Mu arrived home, Xu Lanqing made a table of dishes, all of which were Xiao Mu's favorite food, and Xiao Mu also accompanied Lao Xiao to drink a small glass of wine. Xiao Mu is really disgusted with wine now, every time he smells the wine, he can think of the last wine in his previous life, especially the taste of the moment before suffocation. So until now, Xiao Mu has never touched a drop of liquor, every time he goes out to eat with everyone, Xiao Mu says that he is allergic to alcohol, and he drinks a bottle of beer at most.

A few days after returning home, Xiao Mu went to the house of relatives and friends, and also went to the teacher's house in primary and secondary schools to have a look, and some teachers and principals gave Xiao Mu a lot of help.

In the end, Xiao Mu took out a day, bought three knives of paper, and came to the small pond back then.

The small pond had long since been frozen, and it was covered with a thick layer of snow.

Xiao Mu lit the paper and burned it silently, and when it was finished, Xiao Mu stood up and stood quietly.

"Thank you for giving me a chance. I'm finally on the pitch again, and you're on the pitch, and it's for the two of us. I will cherish, I will work hard, for me, for you, and for our parents. Thank you! ”

Xiao Mu stood quietly for a while, then turned around and left silently.
