September 14, 1996, at half past one o'clock.

"Coach Zhang still hasn't come?" Cheng Fei came to the gymnasium early and saw that Yang Cong and Wang Zhiwen were already practicing confrontation. Aside from Cheng Fei, they are the most diligent players in the Rangers, especially Yang Cong, which is also the reason why he has improved so much this year.

"Nope." Yang Cong saw Cheng Fei coming, and threw the basketball in his hand.

Cheng Fei caught the ball, stared at the basket, jumped, shot, the basketball drew an arc beautifully, hit the hollow, and the net made a "swish" sound, crisp and pleasant.

"Alas...... None of them felt like a coach. Yang Cong shook his head, "Except for the fact that we played some 'messy' ball games in those days, I basically didn't see him." ”

Wang Zhiwen took the ball, made a hand-changing action with great agility, and said in his mouth: "You can't say that, the situation on Director Zhang's side has not stabilized, how can he have the heart to take us?" ”

"He's really that good?" Yang Cong wiped his sweat, "The coach from the United States...... The name is 'quite big'. ”

Cheng Fei took Wang Zhiwen's pass, and shot another jump shot on the spot, still hollow into the net.

He exhaled and said, "No matter what, we just need to give full play to our strength." Today, I played Yichang No. 13 Middle School, it is said that they are a strong sports school, and their physical fitness is very good. ”

"***, I'm most annoyed by this kind of team." A voice came from behind Cheng Fei, they turned around and saw Liu Junfeng and a group of people walking into the basketball hall, "Lao Tzu likes to play with some skills, and I don't want to compare any physical fitness!" ”

"Go to ***," Yang Cong smiled, "You also deserve to talk about technology?" ”

Liu Junfeng laughed, suddenly stretched out his hand, and slapped away the basketball in Wang Zhiwen's hand with lightning speed, and without waiting for Wang Zhiwen to react, he grabbed the basketball suddenly, slid over like a loach, and scored a layup.

"See?" Liu Junfeng proudly threw the ball to Yang Cong, "This is called technology!" ”

"Cheng Fei, how do you think you should fight today?" Wang Zhiwen didn't care, turned around and asked Cheng Fei.

Cheng Fei said "um" and said, "This is still based on Mr. Wang's opinion, I am not a coach." ”

"Alright, don't pretend." Chen Jie walked over and hooked Cheng Fei's neck and said with a smile, "Wang Baojiang is the coach, but someone must command him on the court!" Just say it, you must have some ideas! ”

"That's right!" Wang Baojiang's deep voice rang out, and he walked over with a smile on his face.

"Hello Mr. Wang!" The Rangers greeted each other in unison.

"Good!" Wang Baojiang nodded, "I'm afraid Coach Zhang won't be able to come over on time today, he told me to try to come over halfway." Chen Jie is right just now, the coach is just a person who commands the overall situation, and when it comes to the court, he still needs a leader to command, I can't put on the battle, an old bone! ”

"If Mr. Wang can play, let alone the thirteenth middle school, it is the first middle school in the city, and he can't think that he can win us!" Deng Liang said.

Wang Baojiang smiled and said to Cheng Fei: "Do you have any ideas for today's game." Although Coach Zhang asked me to train the team, this one may determine the issue of the promotion place, which is too critical, and I don't dare to 'mess around', so you will definitely start this time. ”

Cheng Fei pondered for a moment and said: "I heard that the basketball level of the 13th Middle School is average, but the physical fitness is very good, and their team is full of athletes who run long and sprint, high jump, long jump, and even decathlon. I was thinking that this time the game would be a little difficult for us, and if we played in the blitzkrieg, we might not be able to match the speed and stamina of the opponent; And if it is a positional battle, it is also possible to suffer a loss in the positional singles, because our strength and bounce may also be inferior. ”

Wang Baojiang nodded slowly. Yang Cong and the others listened to Cheng Fei's words, and their faces sank.

That's right, since its establishment, Yichang No. 13 Middle School has always been a strong sports school, the annual municipal high school sports meeting can be full of money, and the annual college entrance examination can send a large number of sports students to major universities. Although basketball skills are very important, physical fitness is also one of the foundations, the original Cheng Fei suffered from the physical, but now thanks to the change of physical fitness, there is naturally no obstacle to ball skills, and he is improving day by day.

Yichang No. 13 Middle School, with its well-physical fitness stadium, occupies the third position all year round, and sometimes even threatens the second position of Gezhouba No. 6 Middle School. For this team, even Xu Jian and them, they feel a lot of headaches when they talk about it.

However, this game must be won, otherwise, Ge Liu will face a life-and-death situation with the city.

"I think that in order to contain the 13th Middle School, we still have to fight a positional attack, and we can't compete with them for speed and physical strength." Cheng Fei continued, "It is necessary not only to attack the position, but also to defend the position and tighten up. Because their technique is rough, then the shooting is not going to be very accurate, and we have to keep them at the perimeter and try to control the rebound. ”

Wang Zhiwen said: "However, it may be difficult to break through them in the positional attack, so it is better to attack quickly......"

"I thought of this," Cheng Fei glanced at everyone and said, "If we want to score, or if we want to defeat the Thirteenth Middle School, we have a sharp weapon to use, and I suddenly thought of it just now." ”

"Sharp weapons?" Wang Baojiang said with a smile, "There are only eight people in the team, what other weapons are there?" ”

Cheng Fei smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Liu Junfeng, and said, "Liu Junfeng is the key to our defeat of the Thirteenth Middle School!" ”

Everyone's eyes were staring at Liu Junfeng, and Liu Junfeng, who had always been full of foul words and looked arrogant, was stunned, his face was red and white, and he said with both joy and doubt: "I...... Am I the key person? ”

"How so?" Wang Baojiang asked thoughtfully.

"Liu Junfeng's attacking style is the most special," Cheng Fei explained, "He is very fast, although the dribble is not as stable as Yang Cong, but it is this kind of wide open and closed dribbling that can make defenders confused." He's used to weaving through crowds and scoring in a streamlined breakaway......"

"Holy!" Liu Junfeng said, "Cheng Fei, I must invite you to dinner today!" ”

"Shut up! Listen to him! Yang Cong reprimanded.

"I think Liu Junfeng will be the most troublesome offensive player in the thirteen, and he will also be the winner of our game." Cheng Fei said seriously, "Wang Zhiwen is also very important, his dribbling breakthrough can completely bring out the weakness of the opponent's poor defense." However, Yang Cong may have a problem......"

Yang Cong was stunned. He didn't expect Cheng Fei to say this. Yang Cong scored nearly 80 points in the first two games, which can be described as the first contributor to the victory. His speed and toughness, combined with the stability of hard training, make him one of the most reliable weapons of the Rangers. Now, Tie buddy Cheng Fei will actually say that he has "problems" in his next game!

"I won't have a problem!" Yang Cong suddenly interrupted Cheng Fei's words and said categorically: "I will definitely not have a problem!" No matter how good the physical fitness of the players in the thirteenth is and how fast they are, I will definitely break them! ”

Cheng Fei, who was about to make an analysis, was stunned. The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.

Wang Baojiang thought for a moment, suddenly laughed, hugged Cheng Fei and Yang Cong with two big hands, patted them, and then said, "Very good!" Everyone's fighting spirit is very strong! I think so, the starting lineup is set like this: point guard Wang Zhiwen, point guard Cheng Fei, small front Yang Cong, big front Zhang Yulai, center Deng Liang, or our first configuration! This is our strongest lineup, we must take down the thirteenth! ”

Cheng Fei smiled, not knowing what to say. Yang Cong's eyes were 'gloomy', as if he was thinking about something.

Wang Baojiang arranged it this way because he didn't agree with Cheng Fei's statement? Or, just because he could see that Yang Cong's mood was not good, he didn't choose to change the formation. After all, before the battle, there is indeed a very dangerous situation when there is mistrust in the ranks.

Cheng Fei continued to warm up with doubts and concerns.

He didn't hit any of the next 10 balls.

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

September 14, 1996, 4 p.m.

Ge Liu's school bus stopped at the 'gate' of Yichang No. 13 Middle School, and the rangers got out of the car one after another, and under the leadership of Wang Baojiang, they walked directly into the gymnasium of No. 13 Middle School.

To Cheng Fei's surprise, there didn't seem to be an atmosphere of the national league in the 13th Middle School, as usual, the students did whatever they wanted. The schools I went to before, whether it was the No. 1 Middle School, Vocational High School, Shuiyuan High School Attached to Gezhouba, or later the No. 4 Middle School of Yichang City, the atmosphere was very warm, not to mention the stadium, even the outside of the stadium was crowded with people, shouting for a while.

The current thirteenth middle school is so quiet that it is even a little scary.

And this arena is also a little different, compared to the venues of other schools, it is small, with tennis strings, volleyball strings, etc. drawn in the middle, and it is a multi-functional venue at a glance. And the side is full of all kinds of fitness and exercise equipment, such as barbells or something, scattered everywhere.

On the sidelines, there were about a few dozen people standing scattered. This is in stark contrast to other schools, which often have hundreds or thousands of students. At this moment, the dozen or so cheerleaders brought by Ge Liu did not feel desolate.

They changed into their match jerseys, and after a little warm-up, a well-dressed team walked into the stadium.

It was the 13th Colonel. When Cheng Fei saw them, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

The twelve of them are so similar in height, they all seem to be between 1.78 and 1.82 meters, none particularly tall or particularly short. And the figure is almost the same, all of them have a strong physique, the muscles and flesh of the legs are bulging, the shoulders are broad, and the stride is very large. Obviously, they are all seasoned athletes, probably all in track and field.

Cheng Fei suddenly remembered Hou Yankun of the Sixth Middle School Cadet Team. That guy is also on the school track and field team, and his speed, strength, endurance, and flexibility are all first-class, and he can play the main team on the school team after only playing basketball for a year or two. The group of students from the Thirteenth Middle School in front of him, if they were all like Hou Yankun, would be really terrifying......

Cheng Fei couldn't help but glance at Yang Cong, only to see Yang Cong staring at his opponent coldly and snorting disdainfully.

A different kind of murderous aura emanated from Yang Cong's body.

The 13th Colonel team wore a yellow 'color' Lakers jersey. Although they are similar in stature, their appearances are very different, and the information collected by the little reporter Wang Le is so detailed that Cheng Fei can almost distinguish their names. Among the five main players, the name of the national character face is Li Nian, who is a point guard, with a height of 1.78 meters; The thinnest man is named Wu Keke, who is a quarterback, and his height is also 1.78 meters; The youngest with the smallest eyes is named Ding Lu, who is Xiao Qian, and is 1.80 meters tall; The name of the person wearing a pair of resin glasses is Peng Xieqi, who is Daqian and is 1.82 meters tall; The most terrifying name of the 'pectoral' muscle is Qin Yong, who is a center forward with a height of 1.82 meters.

While the Rangers were looking at them, they were also looking at their opponents in this game.

Cheng Fei noticed that the players of the 13th Middle School team seemed to have been watching Yang Cong for a long time.

Before the start of the game, as usual, in accordance with the principle of friendship first, players from both sides took turns shaking hands. This time, Cheng Fei knows what an athlete is, all of his palms are very large, and they have full grip strength, and there are many hard calluses on his palms. However, the good thing is that their performance is relatively friendly, and the athletes know how to work ethic.

After the referee team was in place, a whistle blew and the game began.

Deng Liang and Qin Yong jumped up at the same time, and to Cheng Fei's surprise, Deng Liang jumped to win this ball! With the advantage of being one knuckle higher than Qin Yong, he dialed the ball into Wang Zhiwen's hand. Qin Yong had already jumped high enough......

Even the players of the thirteenth middle school team glanced at Deng Liang in a little surprise.

"Good!" Wang Zhiwen stretched out a finger and began to dribble forward.

And the opponent's team with excellent physical fitness did not choose to 'force' the defense, but quickly retreated and tightened around the position! This was beyond the expectations of the rangers, including Wang Baojiang, it seems that the Thirteenth Middle School is also going to play with them to attack and defend!

Yang Cong took a few strides and had already rushed to the forefront of the rangers!

Wang Zhiwen hesitated for a moment and passed the ball over. But by this time, the 13th Lieutenant Colonel had already completed the contraction of their positions at an astonishing speed, and they were almost like a well-trained army, moving in unison, and by no means dragging their feet! At this moment, Yang Cong's intention to start a fast attack was shattered, and he turned his head coldly and leaned his back against Ding Lu.

The rangers began to infiltrate. In addition to Cheng Fei and Wang Zhiwen on the periphery, Zhang Yulai and Deng Liang have to drill inside. However, the 13th Middle School team soon let Zhang Yulai and Deng Liang know how powerful they were.

Even Deng Liang, who was physically strong, couldn't squeeze into ***! The opponent's center, Qin Yong, stood still like a rock, firmly withstanding Deng Liang! Zhang Yulai was even more at an absolute disadvantage.

For the first time, the Rangers felt like little 'chickens' caught by eagles, seemingly without the strength to struggle.

But there is one person who disagrees.

Yang Cong looked left and right, his footsteps moving slightly. Ding Lu calmly stuck to the back.

Suddenly, Yang Cong's body turned, and the whole person turned around and slid past Ding Lu's side, and swept towards *** like lightning!

The speed of this turn is truly breathtaking. Cheng Fei couldn't help but secretly marvel, even he couldn't prevent such a fast breakthrough. Even if you know the direction of the breakthrough in advance, it is difficult to stop it......

Three or two strides, Yang Cong didn't give the other party the slightest chance, and took advantage of Deng Liang's cover, flew up and sent the basketball high!

All this happened in an instant, but just as Yang Cong completed the three-step layup, a big hand stretched out from the top of Deng Liang's head!

"Smack!" The ball had already flown to a considerable height, so the man didn't fan it directly, but interfered slightly. But this time was enough to destroy Yang Cong's layup. It was the opposing big forward Pensech.

With such a bright layup, the other party still reacted!

The ball fell vertically, and Yang Cong grabbed the basketball with agility, and immediately took a step back, ready to jump.

He was right to make such a decision. Now that Deng Liang has blocked Qin Yong, there is a certain amount of space to shoot. Yang Cong deliberately practiced the technique of step-back jump shots, and was confident that he could achieve a 50% shooting rate in the game.

Unexpectedly, after Yang Cong finished his retreat, he found that there was no room for jump shots.

In front of him and on the side, Peng Xieqi and Ding Lu were surrounded to death.

Frightened, Yang Cong jumped without hesitation, and caught a glimpse of an orange-red 'color' shadow in the corner of his eye. That must have been Cheng Fei coming to relieve the siege. He immediately threw the ball!

However, at the moment when he just made a move, Yang Cong shouted in annoyance!

A golden shadow flashed, the basketball changed hands in an instant, and Wu Keke was already ambushed beside him, just waiting for Yang Cong to pass the ball!

All of a sudden, the formation changed. The 13th Lieutenant Colonel, which was still tightening up in the half-court and stubbornly defending, suddenly turned into pieces at this moment, like a group of predatory cheetahs, swept over like a gale!

This is an overall fast attack that even the rangers who are good at fast attack can hardly match!

Wu Keke didn't run two steps with the ball, and threw it directly to Li Nian, who was rushing to the front. Although Li Nian is a point guard, his ball-controllable skills are obviously not good, he threw the ball forward after receiving it, rushed over, and then grabbed the ball and jumped with both feet under the rebound!

With a "clang", Li Nian's half-released and half-deducted ball actually popped out!

Wu Keke, who then ran to the front court, immediately grabbed the ball and easily wiped the board and threw it.

This is definitely the style of play they have designed with their hearts. Cheng Fei's heart is like a mirror. From the very beginning, they noticed Yang Cong, because Yang Cong's performance in the first two games was too eye-catching, so the 13th Middle School team did not hesitate to use tight defense, and even double defense, one person ambush, intending to completely curb the attack of the first scorer of the sixth middle school. And Yang Cong, who was eager to prove himself, happened to fall into the trap.

"It seems that the situation that Cheng Fei said has really ......appeared," Wang Baojiang muttered to himself.
