"Fifteen seconds!" Wang Baojiang reminded loudly. Fifteen seconds is enough time to complete an attack, and as long as the success rate is guaranteed and a score or two is guaranteed, the Rangers can turn the tide. Now, the varsity team leads by just one point at 76:75.

Xu Jian's breakthrough was not successful, but let Cheng Fei steal and lose the ball. When the others saw this scene, almost all of them shouted "yes". Yang Cong, Liu Junfeng and Deng Liang couldn't sit still, stood up, and stared nervously at the court while applauding.

"This time the defense is too critical," Tian Shengyong was a little out of breath with nervousness, "Why did Xu Jian make such a mistake at the last moment?" I'm so worried right now, the school team has to defend this ball......"

"Xu Jian's mistake?" Yang Hongjuan smiled, "I think it's Cheng Fei's feeling that he has found to defend Xu Jian." ”

Tian Shengyong shook his head: "This time the defense is very good, but he is at a disadvantage throughout the game." The occasional defensive success doesn't mean much, especially ......"

"Especially the offense and defense at the critical moment, the real kung fu can be seen." Yang Hongjuan smiled. She quoted a phrase that Tian Shengyong often said to the varsity players on the court. In the final moments of the game, the technical and psychological condition of the players on both sides of the game was at its peak. That's why some teams in the professional league collapse in the fourth quarter, while others manage to come back from defeat in the fourth quarter. It's not about luck, it's about the ultimate meaning of the contest.

As a veteran Xu Jian, he will never allow mistakes. And once there is a mistake, it must be that the other party has done a better job than him. That's what Yang Hongjuan meant.

"Of course, this is only the only successful defense," Yang Hongjuan said slowly, "but isn't it a start?" ”

Hearing this, Tian Shengyong's heart suddenly swelled with an indescribable feeling, mixed with fear and surprise. He turned his head and looked at the old man Zhang, who was still sitting calmly on the stool. The old face covered with ravines, like a dry desert, suddenly drifted through a drizzle. A bright light flashed in those cloudy old eyes, and it was fleeting.

"This old man," Tian Shengyong said with a wry smile, "I really want to train people, and I don't joke about the competition." In the first few qualifiers, I played heartbeat, played pairs, and almost lost the promotion place. If he plays big today, the seedlings he has cultivated with his heart will not even be able to enter the national league. ”

Yang Hongjuan smiled, "You don't know, what is trust?" ”

As they talked, the game on the field was going on intensely. After Cheng Fei broke the ball, he 'handed it over' to Wang Zhiwen, and the school team immediately sacrificed the whole court to 'press', and at the same time constantly contracted the defensive line, and the formation was not 'chaotic' at all.

Another five seconds passed. The Rangers, who were seriously lacking in physical strength, failed to play a fast attack, Wang Zhiwen steadily brought the ball to the frontcourt, and Cheng Fei still got the basketball under Xu Jian's close guard.

All the attention was on Cheng Fei. Everyone believed that this ball would make Cheng Fei shoot.

Cheng Fei didn't hesitate at all, his left foot was the axis, and his body feints, as if he was about to pass through Xu Jian's right side. Xu Jian was not fooled. Although his defensive ability is not strong, he is very calm and will definitely not be shaken at this time.

Cheng Fei did not deceive the other party, and formed a posture of leaning against Xu Jian. The corner of his eye swept away, and he noticed that Hou Yankun was coming from Xu Jian's left side. Eleven seconds remaining. Very rich. But Cheng Fei didn't want to wait any longer.

He turned around suddenly, and actually shook off Xu Jian in one step, and went straight to Hou Yankun!

The fast pace, although not as wide as Xu Jian's stride, but the transition from static to dynamic has almost no signs. Xu Jian was stunned for a moment, Cheng Fei had already swept over his side and rushed to Hou Yankun's face!

Hou Yankun was taken aback, seeing that Cheng Fei's right hand dribbling had a tendency to the left, no, it should be said that he would definitely break through from the left side. In other words, he had to break through between Xu Jian and Hou Yankun before they joined forces!

Xu Jian immediately left, and Hou Yankun blocked the encirclement without thinking, but at this moment, the basketball in Cheng Fei's hand was pulled back forcefully! Breaking through from the left turned out to be just a 'forced' real one-handed change of direction feint!

The sense of rhythm of the shaking is so good that Hou Yankun has no time to turn back and chase again, and Xu Jian is also blocked by Hou Yankun, unless he goes around! The two watched as Cheng Fei shook them off and entered ***!

Zhang Hao and Tong Xiaoli are not generals. They immediately joined forces to blockade *** and stand by!

There are nine seconds left.

Xu Jian and Hou Yankun also rushed in from the outside, and Cheng Fei had no room to move around.

Cheng Fei rose from the ground, and the basketball in his hand was thrown to the outside!

In the shock, the people on the court turned around and saw that the ball fell directly into the hands of Wang Zhiwen, who was one step inside the three-point line. There was no one in front of him. Even when Wang Zhiwen received the ball, the surprised expression was clearly visible, and it was clearly written on his face.

This is undoubtedly the last ball, and it was 'handed over' to Wang Zhiwen to complete.

Xu Jian, Hou Yankun, and Lan Tian all rushed over, and even Zhang Hao and Tong Xiaoli put all their attention on Wang Zhiwen's side. None of them saw that Cheng Fei had already quietly withdrawn at this time.

It's a pity that even Wang Zhiwen didn't see it.

Lookers-on see most of the game. Tian Shengyong almost shouted: "Pass the ball quickly!" ”

Obviously, Cheng Fei did not want to 'hand' the last ball to Wang Zhiwen, but successfully opened up the space. If Wang Zhiwen passes the ball at this time, then Cheng Fei's possibility of success is very great. However, things are not always so perfect.

The moment Wang Zhiwen received the ball, pictures flew through his mind.

In the finals of the high school basketball league a year ago, Wang Zhiwen led the sixth class to fight the top of the Forbidden City with the third class of high school. In that game, Wang Zhiwen released all his energy, unblocked at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and he relied on his skillful dribbling and 'fine' scoring skills to frequently attack the inside of the third class.

However, as the game progressed, he gradually ran out of energy. The relatively balanced three teams launched a counterattack step by step, and successfully bit the score. The two strongest classes in the whole grade dedicated an extremely 'fine' battle, and Wang Zhiwen also locked the MVP position with his amazing performance. However, at the last moment of the game, when the third class was leading by one point, Wang Zhiwen's whistle shot failed to hit the basket, and finally regrettably missed the championship trophy......

Further back, in the competition with the school team trio when he was enrolled, Wang Zhiwen stole the limelight from Xu Jian for a time with his extraordinary strength and hard work. With Xu Jianwei, Wang Zhiwen's group gradually lost ground, and it was also at the last moment that Wang Zhiwen skillfully deceived the opponent, intending to finish the opponent with a 'fine' shot, but unfortunately he suddenly slipped to the ground and finally lost under the school team trio......

Failure at critical moments again and again is undoubtedly the biggest blow to Wang Zhiwen. He is not afraid of any opponent, he is afraid of the last moment of the game.

When he received Cheng Fei's pass, these thoughts rushed to his face and drowned him like a flood. Between the lightning and the fire, Wang Zhiwen raised his arms energetically - such a wide shooting space cannot be let go of it logically speaking, and he also wants to use this to prove himself and sweep away the 'gloom' haze that has been hidden in his heart for many years!

The basketball carried Wang Zhiwen's heavy thoughts and flew into the air, attracting everyone's attention.

Come in, come in, come in! Wang Zhiwen shouted in his heart, he raised his arms high and did not put them down, nervously grabbing his heart, making him almost suffocate. If this goal is not scored, then all the efforts we have been working in vain, our brothers in the 204 bedroom, united by me, if, in case......

"Rebound!" Zhang Hao roared and woke up Wang Zhiwen.

The basketball deviates from course and hits the hoop. Zhang Hao and Tong Xiaoli jumped up at the same time.

"It's over!" Liu Junfeng howled in pain, and his voice couldn't hide his despair.

There are seven seconds left. Although there is plenty of money, if the varsity team gets the rebound, the Rangers lose all possibility of counterattacking.

However, Zhang Hao and Tong Xiaoli watched the basketball bounce off the rim of the basket, hit the rebound, and bounced diagonally. This was different from their estimated height and time, and the two of them were just a little bit apart, looking at the basketball helplessly, and their bodies fell back.

An orange-red 'colored' figure swept into the air, like an eagle spreading its wings.

Tong Xiaoli felt that there was someone behind him, and the sky above his head suddenly darkened. He looked up and saw only the striking "12" on the orange-red 'color' jersey. For the first time, he saw his head at waist level with his opponent. Although, he is falling, the other side is rising.

Xu Jian watched Cheng Fei jump up in the air lightly, grab the ball with one hand, and dunk it into the basket with a "click"!

It was like a cold wind blowing through the entire stadium, and everyone felt a shiver all over their bodies, as if they had poured a bottle of cold Coke in the summer sweat. Such an elegant, sharp dunk is simply not an action that a high school student should have!

Joyfully!

"Yay!" Yang Cong was the first to jump up and swung his fist fiercely.

"Fucking pretty!" Liu Junfeng raised his arms and roared.

"Oh, my God......" Tian Shengyong muttered to himself.

Wang Baojiang waved his arm: "Two points!" Six seconds left! ”

Lan Tian, who was already stunned, hurriedly took the ball and ran to the bottom line. Everyone on the field moved, and Cheng Fei immediately posted Xu Jian. Hou Yankun ran to the front court. The school team seems to be a little 'chaotic' and 'chaotic'.

Lan Tian directly sent the ball to Xu Jian. Xu Jian took the ball, stood up straight, and remained motionless.

Cheng Fei was stunned.

"Quick! Xu Jian! Lan Tian turned around and found that Xu Jian didn't move, so he shouted anxiously.

As soon as he shouted, all the members of the school team who were running forward stopped, and the impatient expressions on their faces disappeared instantly, replaced by relaxed expressions, and slowly walked towards Xu Jian's side.

"Why?" Cheng Fei said in a low voice.

The second hand, tick-tock, completed the whole course of the game.

"It's time!" Wang Baojiang looked at his watch and announced loudly, "The game is over!" The final score was 77:76, and the second team of the sixth middle school ...... Uh, the 204 dormitory team wins! ”

"Yay!" Yang Cong, Liu Junfeng and Deng Liang rushed into the field. Although Wang Zhiwen's face was not very good-looking, he still laughed happily. The national high school league that I longed for when I was in junior high school has now come true, who would be unhappy?

Although the members of the varsity team could not hide their loss, they also smiled and patted their Rangers on the shoulders and shook hands in a friendly manner. Xu Jian handed over the basketball in his hand, waited for Cheng Fei to hold it in his hand, and said, "You defeated us." You beat me too...... It doesn't get any better ending than that. We're all happy to have a better team than us to go out and work all over the country. ”

Cheng Fei said with some sadness: "Don't say that, victory and defeat are common......"

Xu Jian smiled: "It's best for you to think like this, today's failure, maybe one day we will return it to you." He turned around and walked two steps, then turned back and said, "Remember, there is a guy named Zhang Xiaodi in Yichang City No. 1 Middle School, he is much stronger than me......" After speaking, Xu Jian slowly packed his things and walked out of the stadium.

The members of the varsity team also dispersed.

"Assemble!" Old man Zhang stood behind the ranger at some point and shouted loudly.

Everyone was startled, and quickly stood in a row, all smiling 'flowers' on their faces. Wang Baojiang, Tian Shengyong and Yang Hongjuan also came over with a smile. Wang Baojiang said with a smile: "Director Zhang, you lecture first, and we will give out the award!" ”

The old man's stiff face suddenly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he was trying his best to restrain the joy in his heart, but in the end he only said a simple sentence: "Good job, young men!" ”

Cheng Fei almost burst into tears.

For so many days, all the grievances and unhappiness have all disappeared in this sentence.

Wang Baojiang smiled and said, "Yes, well done!" Very well done! Think about it, how many teams can be found in the city that can beat the No. 6 middle school team? You are already standing in the ranks of the first-class teams, and the rest is up to you to fight for it! ”

"I have confidence in you to break out of the Yichang City Division and enter the real national league," Yang Hongjuan said solemnly, "Not only that, but I also hope that you can create unprecedented results in Gezhouba No. 6 Middle School!" ”

"Boys, I'm convinced!" Tian Shengyong smiled and said, "You have won the honor you deserve!" ”

"Disband, let's disband on the spot, and from tomorrow onwards, we're going to start planning more. There is also training for 'sex'," Wang Baojiang said, "I also want to get to know you well and become Director Zhang's assistant coach......

"Xiao Wang, you take over, I resign as a coach." Old man Zhang said lightly.

"Why?" Everyone was stunned.

"I'm just a bad old man, those things in the past, in fact, can't keep up with the times," when the old man Zhang spoke, his face was very calm, "Basketball is developing, although the core part has not changed, but many things are changing, I am not young anymore, and I have left the basketball career for decades, and many things are also unfamiliar." Therefore, I can't get a lot of results if I continue to bring it, so it's better not to 'make it self-defeating'......"

Suddenly, Old Man Zhang covered his abdomen with his hands and collapsed on the court.

It happened so suddenly that none of the people around me reacted. Yang Hongjuan was the first to squat down and shouted anxiously: "Director Zhang, Director Zhang, what's wrong!" ”

Old man Zhang's face was purple, his facial features were distorted, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead. His mouth kept moaning "humming", as if he was suffering unimaginable pain!

Wang Baojiang immediately rushed out: "You guys are here to watch him, I'll call an ambulance!" ”

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

At night. Almost everyone knew about Old Man Zhang's condition, and the dormitory management sent another old man surnamed Guo to manage the student dormitory. Old man Guo is more timid and afraid, far less vicious than Old Man Zhang, so although there is no jubilation in the student dormitory, he is still somewhat happy.

In addition to 204 bedrooms.

Having won the battle for qualification, they should be celebrating, but they are not in the mood. The cement factory students in the third year of high school have also been sitting in dormitory 204, as well as several freshmen in the first year of high school, including Li Xian. Their hearts are heavy. Old man Zhang's significance to the rangers is no longer as simple as the vicious dormitory director, he is the coach, the 'spirit' pillar who has accompanied them to train and has been through ups and downs for more than half a year.

Only today did Cheng Fei realize that Old Man Zhang was not so hateful and terrible.

If there is no old man Zhang, even if they can get a place in the national league, how far can they go. An unprecedented sense of fear and loneliness haunted them.

At 12 o'clock at night, Old Man Guo finally turned off the lights. The rest of the dormitories dispersed. The brothers also began to wash slowly, take advantage of the light in the corridor to sort out their clothes, and go to bed. Wang Zhiwen, as their representative, sent Old Man Zhang to Gezhouba Central Hospital with Wang Baojiang and them, and has not returned until now.

At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded, it was Wang Zhiwen.

He pushed the door in, and everyone sat up from their beds. Facing the lights of the corridor, no one could see Wang Zhiwen's expression clearly. But in that atmosphere, it seems that you can guess something.

"How?" Cheng Fei asked cautiously.

"Liver cancer," Wang Zhiwen said in an extremely solemn tone, word by word, "close to the advanced stage." ”

The words "liver cancer" hit them like thunder. This group of children had heard of this terminal illness, and the advanced stage of liver cancer was equivalent to a death sentence. They didn't say a word, and fell into an unbearable silence. A sadness bordering on despair hung in the air.

Wang Zhiwen sighed: "The doctor said that there is no danger to life for the time being, and you need to recuperate during this time." And in need of dedicated care in the hospital, he is now in a constant state of shock. ”

After he finished speaking, he crawled tiredly, and he didn't even wash.

Our coach fell. Cheng Fei sat in the dark and thought to himself. In less than 10 days, the official national league will start, and there are many unimaginable battles to face. But we are the only ones on the road.

Outside the window, lightning and thunder roared, and the mountain rain 'wanted' to come.

Is this another test? There are enough difficulties ahead, but what about the future?

The dark night and dark clouds are dark, and there is no light in sight. But Cheng Fei knew that behind the clouds, there was the 'bright' sun.
