defeated the high school team attached to Hunan University and 'advanced' to the top 16 in Central China, Cheng Fei still feels like he is dreaming.

On the court of Gezhouba No. 6 Middle School, the boy who once threw air balloons one after another and lay sad on the court was as if it was just yesterday. A whole year has passed, so much sweat and hard work, struggle and hard work, the eight brothers in the dormitory really stood on the court of the national league, wearing the honor of the top 16 in Central China!

The high school team attached to Hunan University was the first fierce rival they encountered after stepping out of the 'gate' of Yichang. In the contest with the giants, Cheng Fei not only led the team to victory with wisdom, but also conquered the heart of Coach Zhang Pingya.

Cheng Fei's wisdom is not maturity or experience, but a strange talent, and he can still think quietly on the court of blood and fire, which is a trait that many professional players do not have, or can only have after years of fighting.

As a coach, Zhang Pingya does the most on weekdays to train those half-grown 'hairy' boys. Young people in the United States, even college students, although they are physically perverted, often lack calm, and even lack the ability to read games. What a coach does is keep coaching them and keep reminding them. It is conceivable that when Zhang Pingya sees a player who has no teacher, the sense of relief is like a teacher seeing a student with excellent character and learning, and there is a heartfelt liking.

"If he can increase his height by 10 centimeters and take him to play in the United States, it will help him even more." On the campus of Wuhan University of Technology, Zhang Pingya and Wang Baojiang were walking side by side, Zhang Pingya's voice was obviously a little 'excited', "Seriously, I have never seen a player like this, he is so talented and plays very smart." If it were in the United States, there would definitely be a lot of universities to grab. ”

"Coach Zhang is exaggerating, isn't it?" Wang Baojiang said with a smile.

"Of course," Zhang Pingya smiled, "his body still needs to be exercised, his skills also need to be sharpened, and if there are better conditions, his future is limitless." Sixteen years old...... He still has room to grow taller, if he can exceed 1.90 meters, it is a rare good seedling. ”

"Maybe Coach Zhang has been abroad for a long time, and his concept is different from that in China." Wang Baojiang said as he walked, his expression a little serious, "I believe that Cheng Fei's parents will not agree to let him play basketball all the time." The road of professional basketball, no matter whether it is good or not for Cheng Fei, the first and foremost thing is normal learning. His academic performance is top-notch in the school, and there is no problem in taking the Peking University Tsinghua University in the future, which is better for him......"

Zhang Pingya shook his head, "Cheng Fei is not a child, he can decide his personal future." In the United States, everyone's preferences are respected, if you like something, but don't put in enthusiasm and effort, but worry about this and that, you will only be left with lifelong regrets. ”

Wang Baojiang was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Coach Zhang...... We can't afford this child's future, take 10,000 steps back and say, what if Cheng Fei is only 1.8 meters tall? For him, professional basketball has become a very difficult and sad road. Therefore, I beg you, do not mention to him about going to the United States now, if it arouses his interest, it will be impossible to retract it in the future......"

Zhang Pingya sighed, paused, and nodded.

While the two of them were walking, Cheng Fei and his brothers were preparing to go out to eat barbecue. They heard that the barbecue in Wuhan was very delicious, and they were all so hungry that their mouths were watering, although they had already eaten dinner, but the young people's stomachs were amazingly large, and they were all growing bodies, so there was absolutely no saying that they couldn't eat it.

"Where are we going to eat? I don't know the place of life. Deng Liang said hesitantly.

The group walked out, and Wang Zhiwen waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I heard that there are food stalls everywhere in Wuhan, as long as we go to the lively place, we will be right." ”

Before they could get out of the 'door' of the guest house, a 'girl' child suddenly broke in and almost collided with Cheng Fei. Fortunately, Cheng Fei reacted very quickly, dodged in a flash, and pulled the 'girl' child with his hand, worried that she would fall.

The 'girl' with the ponytail screamed "ouch", then turned her head and said, "Thank you!" ”

The lights in the corridor of the guest house were dim, and Cheng Fei only felt that this 'girl' child was a little familiar. However, this is the first time he has come to Wuhan, and he has no relatives here, except for a few brothers around him, it is impossible to know others. So, he said "no thanks", turned around and walked out.

As soon as they walked out of the 'door', they heard someone knocking on the 'door' inside, and it was the voice of the 'girl' who shouted: "Cheng Fei! Cheng Fei! ”

Cheng Fei was taken aback, and Wang Zhiwen and the others were also surprised and stopped. Soon I saw the 'girl' child running out, and when I saw Cheng Fei at a glance, I smiled brightly, and ran over and shouted: "Cheng Fei! Long time no see! ”

Cheng Fei was stunned for a moment, everyone else looked at Cheng Fei, and Cheng Fei also looked at them stupidly, then turned his head to look, carefully looked at the 'girl' child in front of him, and suddenly said, "You...... Are you Li Xueqin? ”

"yes!" Li Xueqin said excitedly, "You still remember my name!" I've heard that your team has played the second round, it's amazing! Now Yichang doesn't know the news, I only know that you have passed the first round, and it is already a sensation! ”

Cheng Fei turned his head to the brothers with a flushed face and said, "Let me introduce you, this is ......"

"I'm Li Xueqin from Yichang No. 4 Middle School!" Li Xueqin said with a smile, "You have seen me!" ”

Wang Zhiwen made a sudden realization, "I remembered, I invited Cheng Fei to dinner after playing the No. 4 Middle School Cadet that day, right?" ”

"That's right! Right! Li Xueqin said happily, "You all remember me!" ”

"Then are you here to invite Cheng Fei to dinner again today!" When Deng Liang saw the 'girl' child, he immediately became amiable, and his tongue was much more flamboyant, "When are you going to invite the rest of us to dinner!" ”

Cheng Fei asked, "Why did you get here?" It won't be ......" He wanted to say, "Come to me," but he didn't think it was good to say, so he swallowed it.

Li Xueqin seemed to know what he was going to say, and glanced at Cheng Fei meaningfully, but said in his mouth: "I came to Wuhan on a secret mission. However, I came today to invite you to dinner, how can you come to Wuhan without eating food stalls? I know where the delicious food stalls are, come with me? ”

"Yay!" The Rangers cheered.

"Is that all there are you? And your coaches? Li Xueqin asked.

"Shh-" Deng Liang hurriedly made a gesture, "The coaches are walking, I think it's better not to call the coach, if it is known, maybe it won't be able to go, let's have a prelude!" ”

"Good!" Li Xueqin smiled and walked to Cheng Fei's side, "Let's go, we can get there in half an hour!" ”

*****************

"Damn! Don't snatch my chicken wings! Liu Junfeng grabbed the 'chicken' wing string that Yang Cong had just handed to his mouth, couldn't wait to bite down, and then shook it triumphantly.

Yang Cong made a gesture of contempt and said, "It's not a shame, you didn't come to Wuhan to beg for food!" ”

Cheng Fei and the others laughed, a group of people chatted and ate, killed countless barbecue skewers, drank more than a dozen bottles of beer, all of them had shiny mouths, and the table was full of barbed wires. From time to time, the boss looked back at the group of children, for fear that they would run away and not pay. You know, the cost of eating so much barbecue is not low!

"Did we eat too much," Cheng Fei whispered to Li Xueqin beside him, "Do you bring enough money?" ”

Li Xueqin had a smile on her face, and also whispered: "Enough is enough, but I didn't expect your friends to be so able to eat ......"

Yu Yang, who was beside Cheng Fei, heard their words, touched Cheng Fei, and said, "It's okay, let that 'girl' child don't have to pay, I'll just pay for it." Let a 'girl' invite so many of us to dinner, you don't care, I can't save face! ”

Li Xueqin smiled: "Don't do this, I said that I would treat you." If I ask others to pay, it will make me break my promise, even though I am a 'girl' child, but I must also do what I say. However, I have a request, you will accompany me to a place later. ”

Cheng Fei looked at Yu Yang, and then at the brothers who were eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, with a 'confused' expression.

"Don't look around, it's you!" Li Xueqin couldn't help laughing.

"This ......" Cheng Fei was a little embarrassed, "It's too late, I'm afraid it's not good, right?" ”

"Huh!" Yu Yang said, "People's 'girl' children are so bold, you big man is cringe, what are you talking like!" ”

Li Xueqin smiled and leaned back, "That's it!" I won't eat you again, and I'll send you back then!" ”

After eating supper, it was already more than nine o'clock, Liu Junfeng and Zhang Yulai were drunk, and the others supported these two, ready to go back. Cheng Fei stubbornly proposed that he would go elsewhere with Li Xueqin.

"Where?" Deng Liang asked, then looked at Li Xueqin, "Why don't you take us with you?" ”

Yang Cong pushed Deng Liang, "Why do you ask so much?" We still hurried back, ready to be scolded by Wang Baojiang! Cheng Fei doesn't matter, he has credit for today's game, he will make up for it, and he can go back later! ”

A group of people began to walk back, and Li Xueqin waved her hand with a smile on her face.

Yang Cong's meaningful eyes made Cheng Fei's face redden. In the past, Yu Jing was extraordinarily 'sexual', but Li Xueqin in front of her is really worthy of the word "bold", and she doesn't shy away from many things, and she doesn't say a word. Cheng Fei really couldn't figure out where Li Xueqin wanted him to go with him.

Cheng Fei...... Cheng ......" Liu Junfeng shouted drunkenly, "bring me ...... Bring back a few 'chicken' paws......"

Yang Cong scolded with a smile: "Brothers, how can we sober up this drunk 'chicken', it's not good to 'hand' ...... when you go back?"

With laughter, they walked away. Li Xueqin pulled Cheng Fei's sleeve and said, "Follow me." ”

Cheng Fei could only obediently follow. They walked past the crowded food stalls, through the layers of barbecue smoke, and soon came to a three-way intersection. There are fewer people, the lights are very bright, and there is a huge torii in the heart of the three-way intersection.

"National Wuhan University," Cheng Fei muttered, "This is Wuhan University?" ”

"Yes," Li Xueqin looked up at the archway of Wuhan University, and her eyes showed a kind of yearning, "I will apply for Wuhan University next year, what about you, which university are you going to go to?" ”

"I don't know." Cheng Fei did not tell Li Xueqin that with his academic performance, it was obviously too condescending to apply for Wuhan University, and Peking University and Tsinghua University were the most suitable choice. The teachers have always said this, and it is true that they have never thought about it if they don't fly.

"Then let's come to Wuhan University together, right?" Li Xueqin smiled, "Then we will become alumni!" ”

The two walked through the avenue in the school gate, bent a path, passed through the dense woods, and a building with an ancient 'color' appeared in front of them, and the bright lights showed up in the building, and they could vaguely hear the sound of a slapping ball, and someone was shouting something. Could it be that this is a basketball hall, how can the basketball hall of Wuhan University be like this?

"This is the basketball hall of Wuhan University," Li Xueqin seemed to see Cheng Fei's doubts, "The school basketball team of Wuhan University is training in it, especially recently, because CUBA is about to start, so they are training every day to prepare for the game." ”

"Really?" Cheng Fei immediately became interested, "I want to see them play!" ”

Li Xueqin smiled and nodded: "Okay!" That's what I was going to bring you here! ”

"You're such a living bodhisattva, great!" Cheng Fei said excitedly, "However, you can also let my brothers come together!" Everyone can come and see the university team playing, you can also broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge! ”

"I'll bring a bunch of boys," Li Xueqin pouted, "What does that look like?" ”

Cheng Fei didn't seem to hear it, and walked into the basketball hall quickly. The basketball arena looks very old, with almost all of its interior made of wood, outdated equipment, and narrow stands on the second floor. No matter how you look at it, it is not a basketball stadium that can match Wuhan University, but maybe its long history is just worthy of Wuhan University!

There weren't many people in the basketball arena, and there were people playing on both sides of the court. Some of them have *** upper bodies, and some are wearing white 'colored' basketball jerseys, with the words "Wuhan University Basketball Team" printed on their backs. Cheng Fei looked at them excitedly, worthy of being a key university-level varsity player, all of them are tall and big, with strong muscles, and the highest should be over two meters. One half of the court is training for confrontation, and the other side is for practicing long-range shooting.

Cheng Fei noticed that there was still a group of people on the sidelines. They didn't wear the uniforms of the Wuhan University basketball team, so they stood quietly and watched. Clear-eyed people know at a glance that they must also play basketball, with an average height of more than 1.8 meters, and they have a strong physique, and their expressions are very focused.

"Brother!" A voice suddenly sounded beside Cheng Fei, startling him!

Li Xueqin waved her hand and smiled. On the half court where he was practicing shooting, a player with a height of about 1.86 meters turned around, saw Li Xueqin at a glance, and immediately walked over quickly. The rest of the players looked back and started training right away.

"Xueqin, have you come to Wuhan today?" The man looked at Cheng Fei suspiciously, and said to Li Xueqin with a smile.

"I'm here to cheer you on!" Li Xueqin smiled, "Isn't it about to start playing?" ”

"Just kidding!" The man said, "One more week!" You came to cheer on your brother so early? ”

Li Xueqin pulled Cheng Fei's sleeve and said to her brother with a smile: "Let me introduce you to you, this is Cheng Fei of the Gezhouba No. 6 Middle School Colonel, my good friend; This is my cousin, Ma Hairan of the Wuhan University basketball team, known as Little Brother Ma! He giggled.

"Hello!" Ma Hairan stretched out his hand in a friendly manner, and Cheng Fei hurriedly shook hands with him.

"If you grow a few centimeters taller, you are welcome to the Wuhan University basketball team!" Ma Hairan looked at Cheng Fei and said with a smile.

"I ...... I'm an amateur,......," Cheng Fei said with a sneer.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, he is too modest," Li Xueqin hurriedly said, "Last time, our No. 4 middle school team was defeated by him alone, and this year's national league their team has passed the second round, maybe they can win the championship!" ”

Ma Hairan let out an "oh" and asked, "Is it the National High School Basketball League?" ”

"Yes." Cheng Fei nodded.

"It's really good to be able to pass the second round!" Ma Hairan said, "But it's basically impossible to win the championship." ”

"Brother, you don't have to talk like that, do you?" Li Xueqin said unhappily.

"Haha, I'm always telling the truth!" Ma Hairan said with a smile, "Besides, the champion is next to us, I don't dare to compliment you Gezhouba No. 6 Middle School casually." As he spoke, Ma Hairan pointed to the group of people standing on the sidelines, "Well, they are the team that has won the championship in Central China or Hubei Province for eight consecutive years." ”

Cheng Fei's eyes widened, looked at the group of people, and muttered, "Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School?" ”

Without waiting for Ma Hairan to answer, a person with a height of about 1.87 meters walked out among them, with a 'lean' physique and a bright eye. The man walked to the middle of the court and said to the Wuhan University basketball team that was practicing against each other: "I said Chen Mo, you guys are not finished, can't you practice with us?" It's so boring! ”

Chen Mo, who is about 1.95 meters tall, walked out, stood in front of the man, looked at the group of people on the sidelines, and then looked at the Wuhan University teammates behind him, and said: "This is my alumni in Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School, they want to come over to play with us today, and the coach is not there anyway, do you think it's okay?" ”

Ma Hairan said "interesting" in his mouth and walked over.

The members of the Wuhan University basketball team glanced at the Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School Colonel on the sidelines, some with disdainful expressions, and some with awe.

One of the team members said, "Just play, let's play?" Anyway, it's boring to practice like this all the time, I'm afraid that there is no sense of confrontation. ”

The thin guy said coldly: "No, we will go all out in Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School!" ”
