Chapter 67: Preparing for War
Old man Zhang raised a lion face, looking terrifying, his muddy voice seemed to be equipped with a megaphone, and it was very piercing and loud in the basketball hall: "Okay, boys, you run out to play every night, do you think you have made a name for yourself?" Do you feel good about yourself and be able to play on behalf of the sixth middle school? ”
His triangular eyes swept viciously across everyone's faces, and even Liu Junfeng was so arrogant that he didn't dare to look at each other, and lowered his head. When Old Man Zhang's gaze fell on Cheng Fei's face, Cheng Fei did not avoid it.
"We just want to seize this opportunity and do our best to win glory for the sixth middle school!" Cheng Fei said lightly.
Wang Baojiang and Yang Hongjuan both nodded.
"Humph!" Old man Zhang changed his previous appearance of caring for Cheng Fei, and even pointed at Cheng Fei's nose and asked loudly, "Do you have this ability?" Wouldn't you be ashamed to say such a big thing, and if you can't honor it when the time comes? What skills do you have to beat others and get the only one to appear? I'm not afraid of jokes! ”
Even Tian Shengyong couldn't look at it, so he interjected and said, "Director Zhang, you can't say that, this group of young men is still playing well." Either way, this warm-up game ......"
Old man Zhang waved his hand and said coldly: "Are you a coach or am I a coach?" When I speak, will it be your turn to speak? ”
When did Tian Shengyong get angry like this, his face immediately turned red and white for a while, and he couldn't hold it anymore.
Wang Baojiang hurriedly came out to play the round: "Ladies and gentlemen, Director Zhang used to be the coach of the provincial military district basketball team, and once led the team to win the runner-up in the national military district basketball competition. He is a well-known figure in the industry, and under his guidance, you will definitely make great progress. Director Zhang, I don't think we're bothering here, there's still a lot of work to be done......"
Old man Zhang waved his hand, but he was full of style. Wang Baojiang and Yang Hongjuan hurriedly pulled up the angry Tian Shengyong and left.
All that was left in the stadium was a row of trembling children and an old man with a lion's face.
Old man Zhang pointed at them and said, "Let me tell you, your level is really too poor, how bad today's game is, do you know in your hearts?" Cheng Fei, tell me, how did you play in this game? ”
Cheng Fei sighed and said, "The offense basically contains the opponent's ......"
Old man Zhang snorted coldly: "Just your three-legged cat's kung fu, what else is it called attacking?" I want you to summarize the shortcomings! ”
Cheng Fei pondered for a moment, and then said: "The state came out too late, and the attack was not resolute enough......"
Old man Zhang yelled: "It's defense!" "It scared a group of children.
"What did you do when the other party called?" Old man Zhang glared at Cheng Fei and shouted, "Playing basketball is not playing doll ball, you can throw one, and then let the opponent throw one, what is this?" What does this do? You little babies, why do I say that you are poor, because you don't even have the most basic mastery of the basketball game, that is, defense! Defend! Defend! Without defense, all offense is empty talk! ”
"But," Cheng Fei said with a frown, "How can you win without attacking?" ”
"Shut up!" Old man Zhang pointed at Cheng Fei and said, "If you lose today's game, then you will lose!" Cheng Fei, you can't escape the involvement, how many points did the other party score on you? Have you ever calculated? You don't even have the basic qualities of the game, you don't even have the basic awareness to stop the opponent from scoring, it's just a soft egg! ”
Cold sweat broke out on the Rangers' faces.
Cheng Fei's face turned white. From childhood to adulthood, he was an excellent student in the eyes of his teachers, from his academic performance to his ideological character, he was completely impeccable, how could he ever hear anyone say a cruel word to him?
"You guys play like this, let alone play in any national league, you can't even get a small place in the game!" Old man Zhang glared at them, "You don't know what basketball is!" What a contest! ”
Yang Cong glanced at Cheng Fei and said, "Director Zhang, after all, we won this game, and it's not as useless as you said, right?" ”
"Not convinced, huh?" Old man Zhang sighed and said, "Okay! I know you're not convinced! Come on, come on, any of you will play an offensive and defensive practice with me and let you know what the real game is like! ”
The Rangers looked at each other. After a while, Wang Zhiwen stood up, he was the captain and he was the leader.
Old man Zhang walked out of the three-point line and slapped the basketball in his hand. The Rangers were all stunned. The old man Zhang, who is over 60 years old, is really unambiguous when he dribbles the ball, and at first glance he is a master who often plays ball. It's really unseemly, I didn't expect Director Zhang of the dormitory management office to be a professional basketball coach, and he was a professional player when he was young.
"Look!" Old man Zhang dribbled quickly. After all, he was old, and his speed was not too fast, and Wang Zhiwen quickly caught up with Old Man Zhang's footsteps.
Old man Zhang leaned sideways to protect the basketball, and suddenly turned around, raised his hand and jumped up!
Wang Zhiwen also followed closely, but before he could jump, the person had already been knocked out by Old Man Zhang!
Old man Zhang leaned forward, flicked his fingers, and scored on the board.
The Rangers were stunned.
Old man Zhang sneered, threw the ball to Wang Zhiwen, who got up from the ground, and said, "It's for you to attack." ”
Wang Zhiwen slapped the ashes wordlessly, took the ball, and walked outside the three-point line. He began to dribble, then accelerated sharply and rushed to the right, with the speed of the young man, it should be impossible for Old Man Zhang to keep up.
However, Old Man Zhang's position was very appropriate, and he just took a step to block Wang Zhiwen's footsteps rushing to the inside, Wang Zhiwen took advantage of the situation and raised his hand to shoot! With a "snap", with Wang Zhiwen's shout, the basketball fell from the air.
"This ......," Liu Junfeng couldn't help but say, "This kind of defense is a foul, right?" ”
Old man Zhang picked up the ball and said: "The scale of fouls is mastered by the referee; But you're playing the game. No matter who is the referee, they will not sympathize with the weak on the field, but the strong can be respected, this is the reason that the weak are weaker and the strong are stronger! ”
Cheng Fei shook his head and said, "Director Zhang, but basketball is not a fight......
"Well said!" Old man Zhang glanced at Cheng Fei, and suddenly said loudly, "Basketball is not a fight, it is a fight!" Basketball is neither a hand-to-hand game nor a competition of skills, a basketball game is a war! War depends on one breath, and only with this breath can we win! ”
Cheng Fei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood.
"What you lack is not defensive skills, but a breath of victory, and a stubborn choke of the opponent's qi!" Old man Zhang's voice shook Huanyu, "The first lesson I taught you is to tell you that basketball is a war of iron and blood!" When the two armies meet, the brave wins! ”

Five days. It was full of old man Zhang's scolding.
Five days. The stadium was sprinkled with their sweat, tears, and even blood.
Five days. They didn't run any tactics, they didn't do any offensive practice.
What Old Man Zhang asked them to do was to look for the courage to defeat the opponent and the bloodthirsty desire like a wolf pack in the square inch court. Cheng Fei is the most difficult of them.
He didn't understand why Old Man Zhang treated him so harshly. I still remember that when the school had just started, Old Man Zhang learned that Cheng Fei was the first in the bureau, and the viciousness on his face disappeared, and his mouth was full of praise. But now, Old Man Zhang seems to regard Cheng Fei as the number one mortal enemy and the worst player, constantly yelling at him and constantly criticizing him harshly.
Cheng Fei endured all this silently.
Wang Baojiang later told the rangers that Old Man Zhang led the team to win the runner-up in the National Military Region Basketball Tournament 20 years ago. Time has passed, and "Zhang Shengli" disappeared from people's field of vision after retiring, and even Wang Baojiang didn't know whether Director Zhang was the "Zhang Shengli" back then, or whether Yang Hongjuan knew a little bit about the details and got the news from the principal.
Five days later. The Great War begins.
