Chapter 32: Opportunity
26 October 1995.
In the afternoon, Cheng Fei still put on the orange and red No. 12 jersey and came to the court early to warm up with the team. The atmosphere on the court was tense, and the captain Zhang Yifei practiced shooting while telling several main players from time to time.
"Hu Jun, it's Shi Xiaowu who will be opposite you, that guy is very strong, and he likes to play back, especially likes to turn around and jump shots, if he fakes to break through, don't pay attention to him, just resist it in the three-point line!"
"Chen Xiao, if Shi Xiaowu pounces in, you are ready to make up for it at any time! and Yao Luguang, the rebounds must be protected! ”
It can be seen that all the soldiers in the first class are a little nervous, and even when Zhang Yifei was practicing, he missed several shots in a row, and his face turned white in a hurry. Cheng Fei was very calm, and he knew that he would hardly have a chance to play, so he easily practiced shooting on the outside.
His hand is extremely soft, although it is a slow start to the upside down, but the hit rate is **, and almost all of them are hollow. This also somewhat relieved the mood of a group of players, Chen Xiao even smiled to help Cheng Fei pass the ball, and everyone counted the balls he shot continuously, and the applause on the field continued.
Zhang Yifei looked at Cheng Fei with a smile, and suddenly shouted: "Cheng Fei! ”
Cheng Fei's arm trembled, the ball was thrown crookedly, and the "bang" hit the outside of the basket and bounced down, Chen Xiao said regretfully: "Alas, one more goal will score ten goals in a row, what a pity!" ”
"What's the matter?" Cheng Fei asked.
'You prepare for it today, and you may be asked to play in the second half.' Zhang Yifei said lightly while shooting.
Cheng Fei's head slammed, and he didn't know what it felt. For two months, he has been looking forward to this day, standing on the official playing field in his jersey and fighting for victory! Being able to play means that he may have a chance to shoot the first ball of his life on the court! It means that he has the potential to become a nightmare for the opponent's outside line! The one-handed divine investment that has been cultivating hard for the past two months finally has a place to use!
He suddenly felt a sore nose, but he quickly held back. If you really shed tears, wouldn't it be inexplicable to your teammates? But none of them knew what a huge shock this was for Cheng Fei, who has always been a well-behaved and good student!
Chen Xiao was the first to run over to congratulate: "Cheng Fei, vote hard, you won't be able to kill them when the time comes!" ”
"Yes," Zhang Yulai was also sincerely happy, "I want to let the opponent see the demeanor of the first god pitcher in our class!" ”
Yao Luguang asked Zhang Yifei in a low voice: "What?" Do you really want Cheng Fei to play? ”
Zhang Yifei said lightly: "Yes, although it is a battle of life and death, I am very confident in victory." There is only one Shi Xiaowu in Class 7, and the others can't play. If my estimate is correct, I can end the game early in the second half, and then there will be a few minutes of garbage time for Cheng Fei to play! Didn't his wife still get angry with me that day? ”
Yao Luguang hurriedly said: "Be quiet! But I don't think you should underestimate Class 7 too much, if they lose this battle, they are doomed to be out, and they will definitely fight hard! ”
Zhang Yifei said: "I know, but we will also try our best." With that, he dribbled towards the restricted area, suddenly jumped up, crossed a semicircle with his arm, and made a dunk pose!
But he didn't jump high enough, and the basketball slammed into the hoop and bounced out, and the whole rebound shook a few times. Zhang Yifei staggered to balance his body, and shouted coldly: "Buddies in the first class, fight me hard today!" ”
At four o'clock in the afternoon, referees Wang Baojiang and Tian Shengyong walked into the field with the referee team. Today's match is the second round of Group B of the first year of high school, the first class of high school against the seventh class of high school, and the fourth class of high school against the sixth class of high school.
Tian Shengyong officiated the first class of the competition. This physical education teacher is tall and thin, I heard that he used to be a small forward of the provincial youth team, he wore a blue and white striped tracksuit, walked into the field briskly, and blew the whistle.
The starting line-up of the first class is introduced. Zhang Yifei, a 1.85-meter center; Yao Luguang, a 1.76-meter striker; Chen Xiao, a small forward of 1.74 meters; Hu Jun, a 1.74 meter shooting guard; Huang Yong, a 1.70 meter point guard. In terms of height, the players in the first class are above average in the whole grade.
The starting lineup of Class 7 is also on the lineup. Their trump card, Shi Xiaowu, is a scoring guard with a height of 1.76 meters; The center forward is Hu Ke, who is 1.82 meters tall; Long Yuan, a big forward with a height of 1.74 meters; Peng Song, a small forward with a height of 1.70 meters; Chen Guo, a point guard with a height of 1.65 meters. In most of the matchups, the players in Class 7 are shorter than their opponents, but Shi Xiaowu, the tallest and strongest scoring guard in the whole grade, is indeed the most headache in Class 1.
Tian Shengyong walked to the middle of the arena, looked at Zhang Yifei and Hu Ke, and when they were ready, he threw the ball up! Zhang Yifei jumped a little later, although he was a few centimeters higher than the opponent's center, Hu Ke still took the lead and dialed the ball to point guard Chen Guo.
Chen Guo didn't shoot the ball a few times, and directly threw it to Shi Xiaowu who rushed over. This Shi Xiaowu, although he only scored more than a dozen points in the first game, can score such points in front of the absolute advantage of Class 6, and indeed his ability cannot be ignored. Shi Xiaowu's control of the ball is very steady, his pace is big, and he has already entered the three-point line in a few steps!
A squad of players ran around in a haphazard manner. Shi Xiaowu rarely plays thunderous fast attacks, although his speed is not slow, but because of the rhythm of his body, the time of ball control cannot be too long, so he is used to attacking and hitting strongly after all positions.
Therefore, Shi Xiaowu waited for a while, and Hu Jun, a scoring guard from the first class, ran up and clinged to Shi Xiaowu's defense. He is not much shorter than Shi Xiaowu, but outsiders look at it, because Shi Xiaowu is too strong, Hu Jun, who looks thin, is one size smaller. Zhang Yifei's eyes were always staring nervously at Shi Xiaowu.
Shi Xiaowu began to squeeze back-to-back, and then turned around in a signature style and shot!
The arc of the basketball is very high, and when it is smashed down, it also bounces high, and it does not go in! Zhang Yifei hurriedly stepped into the basket and jumped up, but Hu Ke unexpectedly reached the rebound first, and then held the ball tightly in his arms. Zhang Yifei hurriedly suppressed Hu Ke.
Hu Ke threw the ball away in a panic, and was intercepted halfway by Huang Yong, who was watching from the side! Huang Yong hurriedly turned around and dribbled and ran, and a group of people rushed forward with a hula, and the cheerleaders on the scene shouted cheers!
Zhang Yifei's speed is not slow, he took Huang Yong's ball in the midcourt, rushed into the three-point line twice, and shot when he pulled it up! With a height of 1.85 meters, if you force a shot, no one can cover it. But maybe it was not enough to warm up, the ball was also not thrown, Shi Xiaowu yelled and firmly won the rebound!
"Back to the defense! Back to the defense!" Zhang Yifei shouted, and the players in the first class ran back again.
Shi Xiaowu handed the ball to Chen Guo and ran forward by himself.
Cheng Fei couldn't help but shake his head, although he was still a rookie, but this game was really not good-looking, compared to the third, sixth and fifth classes, the gap was far away, not only the ace in the team had a gap in strength, but also the whole seemed chaotic and disorganized. He wanted to go to the side to watch Wang Zhiwen's sixth class play the fourth class, but he was not too embarrassed, Zhang Yifei said that he would let him play, if he left, it would be too faceless, right?
After thinking about it, he made an excuse and said he wanted to go to the bathroom, and then he slipped out, made a big turn, and squeezed into the crowd on the next court. There were obviously many more people watching this ball game, and it was only a minute at the beginning, and Cheng Fei found that the scoreboard had written 4:0, and the sixth class was ahead.
Li Bowen was sweating profusely, holding the ball and shaking, and before he could start, Wang Zhiwen suddenly slapped the ball in his hand, and then threw it into the hands of the running center Zhang Lei. Zhang Lei laughed maniacally, strode and dribbled forward, and it was only the fourth-class point guard who defended him.
Zhang Lei threw the ball suddenly, and the ball flew up directly and smashed on the rebound! The fourth-class guard hurriedly ran over to grab the rebound, but Zhang Lei suddenly appeared above his head, grabbed the rebound, and then jumped to the board to score!
It's all bullying! The defender was flushed with anger, but helplessly, the cheerleaders of Class 6 let out a burst of laughter.
The score climbed rapidly, and Li Bowen succeeded in several consecutive singles, catching up a little, but until halftime, the advantage of class six was already very obvious, 39:8. As the scoring guard of the fourth class, Li Lin has nothing to do on the court, and can only be used as a foil for Wang Zhiwen's excellence, as for Chen Jie, the substitute power forward of the fourth class, he has no chance to play, he always looks indifferent, talking and laughing with the classmates next to him, and he doesn't care about the outcome at all.
However, the fourth class has already lost one game, and this time it loses to the sixth class, and it is doomed to be out.
As soon as the first half ended, Cheng Fei hurriedly ran to his class, Zhang Yulai was looking around, and when he saw him, he grabbed him and asked, "Why did you go for so long, didn't you just go to the toilet?" ”
"I ...... I have diarrhea......" Cheng Fei had to lie, "How was the first half?" ”
Zhang Yulai sighed, pointed to the scoreboard and said, "Look, what happened." ”
Cheng Fei was taken aback when he saw it: Class 7 actually led by 15 points at 25:10. Shi Xiaowu, who didn't look at it when he played the sixth class, is he so powerful? He hurriedly asked Zhang Yulai about the situation.
Zhang Yu said: "It's so fierce over there, don't look at their short stature, they all defend to the death, Zhang Yifei can't grab that Hu Ke in rebounds, and he always can't shoot into it, and the others are entangled without temper at all." Shi Xiaowu is so invincible, he scored nearly 20 points alone, and no one can prevent him, alas, our class is miserable now......"
Cheng Fei sighed: "Yes, we may not be able to get out of the line, and we won't have a chance to play." ”
"Hey, Yu Jing and his brother didn't come today?" Zhang Yulai asked.
"Well, their mom is going to the hospital for an operation today, so she's not coming." Cheng Fei replied.
Chatting and chatting, the second half began.
