Chapter Thirty-Nine
On the afternoon of November 19, 1995. 4:50.
On the basketball court, which is only a few meters away from the gate of Gezhouba No. 6 Middle School, shouts are heard one after another.
There are a lot of boarding students around the stadium, and today is Sunday, and many of them have already returned to school from home.
They all watched the game intently on the field, with a look of amazement and envy.
The ten people on the field can be described as vigorous, they have been playing the whole game for more than 30 minutes, and the strength of their whole bodies seems to be inexhaustible, and they are still running tirelessly on the field.
Five of them wore the same orange-and-red basketball jersey, and two other resting players on the sidelines wore the same outfit. Compared to people's impressions of basketball players, most of them are relatively short, but they run like the wind and come and go like electricity.
Many students in No. 6 already know that this team is composed of high school freshmen in dormitory 204. Among them, there is Wang Zhiwen, a superstar who has just led the team to win the runner-up and MVP of the first-year high school league, Yang Cong, a rising star who led the team to the semifinals and won the title of scoring champion, Deng Liang, an up-and-coming rebounding genius, Liu Junfeng, who is a killer with chaotic rushing, and Li Lin, a three-point shooter who is conscientious in defense. Standing on the sidelines are Zhang Yulai and Chen Jie, who have not yet had the opportunity to show their talents.
Gao Sheng on the field is like an orange-red whirlwind attacking forward, but it is like hitting a copper wall.
The opponent is a high school sophomore, also from a cement factory. The two teams had played each other long before the league began, and although the sophomores did not have all the players together, they still easily defeated the high school students. Today, two absolute mainstays have joined the squad.
Zhang Weiguo, 1.75 meters tall, is a scoring guard, with a strong impact and a lot of scoring means.
Hao Xia, 1.78 meters tall, plays as a power forward, good at grabbing rebounds and three-point shots on the periphery.
plus Hu Haitao, Mao Huan and Xu Kun, who had fought with Wang Zhiwen and others before, formed the starting five tigers. The other two strong men, Ma Qiang and Yang Li, sat on the sidelines and watched the game.
This team of high school sophomores was extremely strong, and the game went on for about thirty-four minutes, and the score had reached 75:47. Wang Zhiwen and Yang Cong scored 20 points each, but it was still difficult to turn the tide.
Mao Huan dribbled forward, while pointing to Wang Zhiwen in front, and immediately Hao Xia ran over to help block and dismantle. Mao Huan hunched over like a cheetah and rushed to the restricted area, Yang Cong's footsteps moved, blocking the opponent's direct layup route!
Mao Huan jumped up in the air and threw the ball to Zhang Weiguo, who ran forward from the side.
Zhang Weiguo got up and was about to shoot, but Liu Junfeng, who was in a hurry to block, had already jumped up and flew through the air!
Zhang Weiguo flashed unhurriedly and shot again!
"Bell", the basketball bounced on the basket.
Deng Liang gritted his teeth and fought with Hu Haitao for the position under the basket, although he was already very strong, but the other party was even stronger. Hu Haitao tried his best to squeeze Deng Liang away, scooped the ball into his arms, and threw it to Hao Xia, who was far away from the three-point line.
Hao Xia, who has curly hair and a smile on his face, is unguarded in front of him!
Wang Zhiwen screamed and pounced. But it was too late, and he could only watch Hao Xia send the basketball into the sky with his unique posture - a women's two-handed push!
A high parabola crossed, and the basketball "swished" through the net!
"Wow!" Wang Yuexin, Zou Qian and Zhu Huiying, who were standing on the sidelines, let out exclamations together.
Chen Jie, who had been chatting with them enthusiastically before, also widened his eyes at this time, and then sighed self-deprecatingly and said "no way".
Yang Li, who was helping to keep scores, shouted: "Good ball!" He wrote 78:47 on the small blackboard.
"!" Liu Junfeng waved his fist and scolded and said, "This ball is too depressed, there is no chance at all!" ”
Wang Zhiwen said with a wry smile while dribbling: "The skills are not as good as others, what can be done?" ”
Yang Cong said beside him: "It's not that we can't do it, they are indeed too strong, much stronger than last time." If it were the same team as last time, I'm sure we'd have a dozen ...... in our dorm room and what they had."
Wang Zhiwen snorted: "Last time I scored alone, this time the two of us scored, and the others couldn't score." Everyone can score, how to play? ”
Yang Cong knew that Wang Zhiwen's anger was coming up again, so he didn't say anything anymore.
To play fast attack, the speed of high school sophomores is not slow; To fight positional warfare, high school sophomores have both skilled cooperation and strong bodies. For this dormitory team, it was really difficult to win against this team of sophomores.
Wang Zhiwen, taking the lead, slammed into the position of the sophomore in high school. Last time, he faced the two-person attack of Ma Qiang and Yang Li, and this time, it was Zhang Weiguo who was the main defense.
Although Zhang Weiguo scored well, his defensive ability was not much better than Mao Huan, Wang Zhiwen relied on his skillful ball control skills, and he shook it in an instant, and rushed to the vicinity of the penalty area to shoot!
Hu Haitao roared and jumped up, Wang Zhiwen smiled slightly, gestured, and shot again when Hu Haitao was about to land!
Unexpectedly, there was another person behind Hu Haitao, like a bird spreading its wings in the air, and the ball was covered firmly with a "snap"!
It was Hao Xia. His physical fitness, whether it is bounce power or sturdiness, even surpasses Hu Haitao, and it is said that he will apply for the pilot exam next year. The two of them teamed up to form an inside twin tower, and I don't know how many interior attacks the dormitory team has blocked. If it weren't for Hao Xia's penchant for wandering around the outside to shoot three-pointers, his interior combination with Hu Haitao and Xu Kun would not leave any room for the opponent in the frontcourt rebounding!
As soon as the ball was covered, Zhang Weiguo cleverly grabbed it and threw it to Mao Huan.
The sophomore rushed towards the front, the arrow Mao Huan was amazingly fast, and Yang Cong, who was still chasing and defending, couldn't take much advantage in his footsteps.
The two of them ran along the road, Mao Huan took two steps and one step, and Yang Cong also jumped up!
Mao Huan stretched his limbs in the air, blocked Yang Cong with his right hand, his left arm was parallel to his shoulder, his fingers were raised, and the basketball went into the basket!
80:47! With five minutes left before the end of the game, the gap was irretrievable.
At this time, Zhang Yulai suddenly shouted on the sidelines: "Isn't that Cheng Fei!" ”
All of them looked back.
A figure walked through the flower bed and walked over. He was carrying a large backpack, his face was sweating profusely, and his clothes seemed to be soaked.
He wears an orange-red jersey, reflected in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the colors are exceptionally harmonious.
Cheng Fei smiled, looked at everyone, and was silent.
Wang Zhiwen was the first to walk up, patted Cheng Fei's shoulder, and smiled on his face: "Are you well?" It's been a long time since I've seen you! ”
The brothers in the 204 dormitory rushed up and greeted each other with a big mouthful of words.
A thick warmth flowed in Cheng Fei's chest.
"Why are you sweating profusely?" Yang Cong suddenly asked, "The weather is so cool, it's winter!" ”
Cheng Fei smiled, "I came to school all the time, otherwise I would have arrived a long time ago." ”
"Running from the train station?" Wang Zhiwen was stunned for a moment, "I'm too fierce to rely on you, not to mention a few kilometers away!" ”
"Let's go and rest!" Zhang Yu said, "Don't get cold, it's not cost-effective to catch a cold and fever again." ”
"yes!" Liu Junfeng said, "You kid is not here, I'm not fucking interesting to play, my state is just not good!" ”
"Cut!" Cheng Fei and the rest of the dormitory made a gesture of disdain towards Liu Junfeng.
"Is the game over?" Cheng Fei looked forward to the basketball court. Hu Haitao and several other high school sophomores over there also knew this year's high school entrance examination champion, and they all smiled and nodded, which was regarded as a greeting.
"No," Yang Cong shook his head, "but it's basically over, and I feel worse than last time." ”
Cheng Fei saw the disparity in the score, and suddenly said, "Let me play too." ”
Wang Zhiwen nodded: "There are still five minutes, I'll go rest for a while." ”
"I'm not tired." Deng Liang said, and Li Lin also nodded that he was not tired. These are two iron men with super physical strength.
Wang Zhiwen, Yang Cong and Liu Junfeng walked off the field and were replaced by Zhang Yulai and Chen Jie.
Cheng Fei unloaded the heavy backpack on the flower bed, then rubbed his shoulders and walked on the field.
The sophomore students over there, seeing that the main force of the high school students had basically gone down, they replaced Zhang Weiguo and Hao Xia to rest, and replaced them with Ma Qiang and Yang Li.
The orange team standing on the field can be regarded as the weakest combination of the dormitory team.
Although the sophomore replaced the two main players, his strength did not weaken too much.
It was destined to be a massacre. The last five minutes, the last slaughter.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Here, because the three people who could act as point guards were all rested, Cheng Fei had to take over the role of point guard; Li Lin is still the quarterback, Zhang Yulai is the small forward, Chen Jie is the big forward, and Deng Liang is the center. It can be said that in the eyes of others who understand the situation, these five people have neither the ability to control the ball nor the ability to score, so they can only go up and play casually.
Cheng Fei took the ball and slowly dribbled forward.
None of the sophomores came up to defend, and they all retreated to the backcourt early.
"Don't push too hard." Hu Haitao whispered to Mao Huan, "There are so many leads, and the main forces of the people are going down, just fight." ”
Mao Huan nodded. He also understands that this game is essentially over, and now it is just a matter of mixing up time.
Cheng Fei crossed the midfield, stood two steps away from the three-point line, and stopped.
Wang Zhiwen let out a soft "oh". Cheng Fei's soft feel of dribbling caught his attention.
"Like...... Seems to be very different from before? Wang Zhiwen said to himself.
All the sophomores stood inside, and no one came out to defend, allowing the high school to wander around like a headless fly inside.
Cheng Fei began to move towards the three-point line. Mao Huan didn't even put on a defensive posture, standing and not moving.
One-step. Two steps.
Cheng Fei collects the ball and starts.
Knees. Sink your waist.
He leaped to his feet.
The body is slightly arched, the right palm is firmly holding the basketball, and the left hand is gently supporting the side. The elbow of the right arm is straight to the basket in front of you, and the basketball is held high above your head. In the air, the body was like a longbow shooting at the sun, and it stayed for a moment.
The arm is stretched upward, three fingers are flicked with the basketball, and the left hand is sent out.
A perfect jump shot.
The basketball spun in the air for weeks, slicing through a rainbow-like arc and crashing into the hoop, stirring up a snow-white wave.
There was silence.
"It's beautiful!" Wang Yuexin and several girls took the lead in applauding, shouting with a smile.
"Holy!" Liu Junfeng looked at Wang Zhiwen in disbelief, and then at Yang Cong, "Is this Cheng Fei?" ”
"Three-point jumper......" Yang Cong shook his head with a smile, "It's so handsome!" ”
Wang Zhiwen didn't speak, with an incredible look in his eyes.
The sophomores were almost dumbfounded. Shooting three-pointers is too common, and three-point jumpers are not unseen, but they have never seen such a standard and elegant posture and such a proper arc. No, they did, but they didn't think of the person for a moment.
Hu Haitao's mind suddenly remembered a sentence that Wang Zhiwen once said, and couldn't help whispering to himself: "Born ...... Pitcher ......"
Mao Huan asked, "What did you say?" ”
Hu Haitao smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, I just want to say: Shibei three days, you should be impressed." It's not a big deal to shoot three-pointers, but to be honest, it's not an idle person. I can't imagine what he did when he was sick. ”
Mao Huan gave a thumbs up and ran to the front court with the ball.
Cheng Fei's chest was full of passion. Who knows how he feels now, this child, who has always been quiet, has never been happy or angry. After many days of hard work, his jump shot finally got used on this legendary court today, and he was so excited that he wanted to cry. He waited for a long, long time for this goal.
Mao Huan hurriedly interspersed, and Cheng Fei couldn't stop him at all. When he watched the game on the sidelines before, he found that Mao Huan's breakthrough speed was very fast, but he really felt it when he got to the court. Mao Huan didn't expect that he would break into the inside line so easily, and with a casual pick, the basketball actually bounced off the rebound!
Deng Liang pounced, grabbed the rebound, and threw it to Cheng Fei!
The formation of the high school sophomores was very chaotic, they did not deliberately return to the defensive position, only Hu Haitao returned to their own half.
Cheng Fei moved forward with the ball, and he was already quite skillful in dribbling. Wang Zhiwen stared at Cheng Fei's hand tightly and nodded secretly.
Only Hu Haitao stood alone in the penalty area in front. The players behind started running in.
There was no one within two meters of Cheng Fei. Hu Haitao stared at Cheng Fei tightly.
Everyone on the field stared at Cheng Fei.
They all thought that what they had seen before was a dream, and they didn't know if the dream was real or if it happened again.
Yes, the dream repeats itself again.
Cheng Fei jumped off the three-point line almost without hesitation.
There was still a noticeable lingering time in the air, and before reaching the highest point, the arm was raised and the ball was gently sent out.
The basketball crossed the arc like a dream, and fell into the basket almost without suspense, and it was a snow-white spray!
Two three-pointers in a row! The score instantly became 80:53!
"Damn! Depend on! Depend on! Liu Junfeng didn't care about Wang Yuexin beside him at all, and said three dirty words in a row, "It's too strong!" ”
Yang Cong smiled: "Cheng Fei, Cheng Fei, I really have nothing to say to you......"
Wang Zhiwen muttered to himself: "This posture ...... Could it be Wu Zhongmin? Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes......"
However, even if Wu Zhongmin had special training for Cheng Fei in shooting in the past 20 days, it was still an unimaginable task for him to master the jump shot so quickly, and even the three-point line jump shot. Only ...... Talented!
Hu Haitao shook his head and said two words: "Fatal!" ”
Mao Huan ran with the ball. Gao Sheng quickly put away his excitement and returned to defense!
Mao Huan gave the ball game to Yang Li, who rushed down, relying on the sprinting speed of the national third-level athletes, Yang Li threw off Li Lin, who was chasing after him, and took the ball and made a three-step layup! The ball spun around the hoop twice and rolled down!
Hu Haitao slapped his horse and arrived, roared angrily, and reached out to grab the basketball in the air!
However, a figure flew straight up and fished the ball down before Hu Haitao could reach the basketball!
It's not who Deng Liang is, as soon as he landed, he passed it directly to Cheng Fei!
Cheng Fei immediately turned around and dribbled forward, but Mao Huan stepped forward to interfere, and the sophomore quickly returned to the defense.
This time, the sophomore didn't stand and admire anymore, Mao Huan followed Cheng Fei step by step, and became more and more unrelaxed outside the three-point line. Hu Haitao in the back also went out of the penalty area, staring at the ball in Cheng Fei's hand, and seemed to want to help defend the block at any time.
The corners of Cheng Fei's mouth showed an imperceptible smile, and he suddenly took a step to the side with the ball and jumped up directly!
Mao Huan hurriedly moved over, clinging to Cheng Fei, and jumped up. Hu Haitao, who was behind, also rushed forward nervously.
They couldn't let Cheng Fei easily jump shoot three points anymore.
Cheng Fei flew into the air, and suddenly threw his hands down! The basketball flies straight down into the inside!
Xu Kun's attention was completely attracted by Cheng Fei's jump shot, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Jie stretching his thin, long arm and hooking his hand under the basket!
This is a scoring method that Chen Jie has repeatedly practiced thousands of times, and in any previous competition, he has never had the opportunity to perform this trick. Today, this opportunity has finally arrived!
The basketball is steadily wiped into the basket!
Chen Jie waved his arm proudly and shouted, "Yay! ”
The girls all laughed and applauded.
But anyone who plays knows that the space that the outside pitcher attracts, and the subtlety of the pass.
Although the sophomore was still ahead by as many as 25 points, he was a little anxious because he was scored by the opponent in a row, and he didn't score a single goal.
"Attack!" Mao Huan changed hands sharply, passed Cheng Fei, and then threw the ball to Yang Li, who was rushing to the front!
Li Lin had already pounced violently, Yang Li, who had not scored a layup just now, did not dare to shoot without authorization, and when he turned around, he saw that Ma Qiang had already run over, and quickly threw the ball over!
Ma Qiang didn't react quickly, the strength and speed of this pass were too strong, too fast, he just stretched out his hand, the ball hit the palm of his hand and bounced out!
Cheng Fei, who ran over, just grabbed the ball!
He turned around and ran towards the backcourt of the sophomore, and the dormitory team, which had scored several goals in a row, was also in high spirits at this time, and they all ran vigorously!
The sophomore who had just launched the offensive did not expect this kind of mistake, so he had to turn his body and go back to defense.
At the moment of Cheng Fei, Ma Qiang, who has a blue face, has suddenly appeared!
This guy who is most annoyed by his mistake seems to be not going to fly over easily!
