Tuesday, April 9, 1996.

In the spring of Yichang, although the temperature is not high, but the sun is shining, people take off their thick cotton clothes and change into all kinds of spring clothes and woolen sweaters. At this time, Cheng Fei and the others were wearing thin basketball uniforms. The basketball jersey was still their orange-and-red uniform, and the school had no plans to make the Rangers wear varsity uniforms, nor did they have any plans to make new uniforms. In this way, it is actually very much in line with their intentions.

Although his clothes were thin, Cheng Fei was excited. Because, today's warm-up game was held in the indoor basketball hall on the second floor of the gymnasium. This means that they can finally not only board the "luxurious" arena, but also be the protagonists inside, and can play basketball!

In advance, Wang Baojiang said that this game was the last of the four warm-up matches originally planned. After this game, the promotion tournament will start next week, and the four high schools in the Gezhouba area: Gezhouba No. 6 Middle School, Gezhouba Water Institute High School, Gezhouba No. 1 Middle School and Gezhouba Vocational High School, compete for the only place.

Although this game has nothing to do with the winning or losing position, it is a valuable opportunity for the Rangers to get acquainted with their opponents and test their strength.

A group of people laughed and walked towards the gymnasium.

The iron door to the second floor remains closed.

At this time, there was a clattering sound of keys colliding behind them, and when they looked back, Director Zhang, who was in charge of the dormitory, was holding a large set of keys and staggering over, still limping.

Cheng Fei cautiously said, "Director Zhang......"

Old man Zhang raised his head, glanced at them, still walking under his feet, and said in his mouth: "What are you doing?" Watching the game? With that, he walked over to the iron door and squinted for the key. I found it quickly, so I opened the keyhole.

"It's not a look," Wang Zhiwen said with a smile, "It's a game." ”

Old man Zhang was unlocking the lock, and couldn't help but be shocked, turned his head and looked at them again: "Are you kidding?" You're going to play, you're going to play on the side of the field, and only the school team is going to play here! If you want to see it, there's a game today! ”

Liu Junfeng deliberately asked, "Director Zhang, don't you know that the school team is injured?" How do they come to play? ”

Director Zhang opened the iron door and said, "I heard, the sports department said that the second team came to play today. ”

Cheng Fei said with a smile: "Director Zhang, we are the second team of the sixth middle school. ”

Director Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at them for the third time, this time very carefully. However, his face was not very good-looking, he was still gloomy, and he muttered viciously: "Students don't study well, what kind of basketball do they play all day long!" ……”

There was a sound of footsteps behind Cheng Fei, and several teachers from the physical education department such as Wang Baojiang and Yang Hongjuan walked over. Wang Baojiang greeted him and said, "Director Zhang, thank you for your hard work!" ”

Director Zhang ignored it, opened the door directly, and let it aside. Cheng Fei was extremely surprised by this, it seems that this old man Zhang's temper is really weird, not only for their dormitory students, but even the teachers at the school look like they ignore it.

Wang Baojiang patted Wang Zhiwen's back with his left hand, put his right hand on Cheng Fei's shoulder, and said with a smile while walking up the stairs: "How is it?" Are you ready, do you have the confidence to fight? ”

“…… Yes. The brothers in the dormitory hesitated and replied slowly, and they all laughed as soon as they finished speaking.

Yang Hongjuan also smiled: "What? I don't have faith! This time you are playing on behalf of the sixth middle school, but it is not a small fight in the past, do you know how much effort Mr. Wang and I have put in to make you top the school team, but we can't let us down! ”

Wang Zhiwen said with a smile: "We must go all out!" ”

"Good!" Wang Baojiang nodded, "What about this water courtyard attached to the middle school, to be honest, the strength is still good, you have to pay special attention to the number 8 among them, the name seems to be Yuan Fan...... Isn't that right, Mr. Yang? ”

Yang Hongjuan nodded: "Yuan Fan, that's right, that's the name." ”

"He is a third-year student at the high school attached to the school, and his ball skills are good, and he played in the city last year, which caused us a lot of trouble......," Wang Baojiang said, and the group had already gone up to the second floor of the basketball hall.

Cheng Fei's eyes widened.

It's not that the venue is luxurious. In fact, the indoor basketball hall is not very luxurious, with smooth wooden floors, high ceilings, and other than that, there is really nothing special. However, the sound of sunlight shining through the narrow windows, shining on the smooth floor, and echoing in the empty stadium made Cheng Fei and them excited.

That's right, there's a smell of basketball here.

When Cheng Fei stepped on the last step, he suddenly had a feeling: his dream had finally begun to take off.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

At half past four in the afternoon, more and more students poured into the venue. Most of the first-year high school students are coming for the first time, and they are as excited as if they are something. In fact, the capacity of the stadium is not large, there are only three or four rows of space around the ring to watch the game, and there are no seats or elevated equipment. Despite this, the students scrambled to squeeze inside, and Cheng Fei was a little worried that he would be crushed.

By this time, the Rangers – now we might also call them the Second of the Sixth – were already warming up in one half. Wang Baojiang acted as a coach, and under his command, Cheng Fei and others carried out various warm-up exercises for layups and shooting at a glance.

Cheng Fei noticed that there were many familiar faces next to him. Including Wang Yuexin's group of female classmates from the cement factory, they have now almost become the official cheerleaders of the Rangers, just yesterday, Cheng Fei plucked up the courage to go to Wang Yuexin and officially invited her to become the "manager" of this team on behalf of the Rangers. Actually, it's the captain of the cheerleading team, who is usually in charge of water, towels, and so on. Naturally, she won't be allowed to deal with real affairs.

There are also Yu Jing and Yu Yang, who are sincerely happy for Cheng Fei and come to cheer. In the crowd, there were members of the high school team. Their eyes are mostly complex, jealous, and suspicious.

At five o'clock, there was a commotion in the crowd. The Varsity Team of the High School Attached to the Water Academy appeared on time.

Everyone's eyes looked over, and Cheng Fei and the others no longer warmed up, and stood up straight one after another, facing the direction of the entrance. Cheng Fei's heart pounded.

The group squeezed through the crowd and walked onto the court. Among them, there were more than a dozen students wearing fiery red jerseys, as well as several people who looked like teachers. Wang Baojiang, Yang Hongjuan, Tian Shengyong and several other leaders and teachers of the Physical Education Department of the No. 6 Middle School hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with each other.

Although all the people were looking at the school team of the High School Attached to the Water Academy, these team members only stared at Cheng Fei and them, and even the teachers of the High School were constantly looking at the dormitory team, and their eyes were full of suspicion. They had never seen this group of children, and they were ready to warm up with the Sixth Middle School team, but unexpectedly, the opponent changed to the "Sixth Middle School Second Team". Inexplicably surprised, the High School Attached to the Water Courtyard still sent its main force to explore the truth and truth.

Obviously, the opponent was a little disappointed.

Wang Baojiang beckoned to Cheng Fei and shouted: "The players on both sides will meet first and shake hands, our friendship is the first and the competition is the second, right?" Hahaha......" The other coach and teacher also laughed.

Cheng Fei and the others hurriedly dressed up, grinned an awkward smile on their faces, and walked over to shake hands with each other.

A pair of big hands shook it, and the faces of the players of the High School Attached to the Water Academy were obviously suspicious and disdainful, because the size of this "No. 6 Middle School and No. 2 Team" was really much shorter, and it seemed that no one was even qualified for a big forward. How did they replace the Tangtang No. 6 Middle School team to play such an important promotion match, the teachers and team members of the High School Attached to the Water Academy were puzzled, but it was not easy to ask questions at this time.

Wang Baojiang looked at his watch and asked, "You guys...... Still need to warm up? ”

"No, we warmed up." The coach of the attached middle school waved in response.

"Good!" Wang Baojiang turned back to Tian Shengyong and said, "You come to host this game, let's start immediately!" ”

Tian Shengyong nodded and blew the whistle in his mouth.

"Toot-" The long whistle sounded over the basketball hall, and Cheng Fei's heart seemed to have flown into the sky. He glanced at the player in the No. 8 fiery red jersey, who was carelessly arranging his shirt and pants, looking impatient.

He is Yuan Fan, the ace player of the Water Academy, Cheng Fei thought to himself, everything starts with defeating him.
