Chapter 7: The Newcomer Appears

"Distinguished leaders, distinguished guests, audience friends, good morning!"

"Welcome to the Hecheng University Gymnasium to watch the 2007 University League Qualifiers."

"First of all, let us welcome the players of the home team, Hecheng University with the warmest applause!" The male host at the scene shouted in a powerful voice.

"Let's go, let's play!" Yanagi shouted at his teammates who had lined up in order to play, and he was the first to run out of the players' tunnel.

The players of Hecheng University ran out one after another, and Liu Xiaodong, as a potential new star of the team's recruitment, was arranged by the coach at the end of the team.

Hearing the loud cheers coming from the entrance of the passage, Liu Xiaodong's heart, which had not calmed down, began to beat violently again. He stared blankly at the dazzling light coming from the entrance of the passage, as if it was another world, beckoning to him!

"It's your turn, don't be too nervous, it's just a new beginning, you'll get used to the atmosphere quickly!" Zhang Tiejun walked behind Liu Xiaodong, patted him on the shoulder and said.

"I know, Coach!" After Liu Xiaodong finished speaking, he ran towards the entrance of the passage suddenly.

"Come on, Future Star!" Zhang Tiejun looked at Liu Xiaodong's back and said silently, and walked towards the entrance of the passage, which was also the battlefield of his struggle!

"Hecheng, come on! Tsurujo, come on! The 5,118 students from Hecheng University in the audience cheered for the home team with a uniform shout.

A huge shout poured into Liu Xiaodong's ears, and he looked up at the stands, all of which were the gray-white school uniform colors of Hecheng University.

"Look here!"

Liu Xiaodong looked for a sound, and a male cameraman from Hecheng TV was adjusting the camera angle to aim at him. Liu Xiaodong turned his head shyly and ran quickly to the home team's bench.

"It seems that our future star is still a little reserved, I wonder if he is ready for today's game?" On the commentary seat, Liu Qiliang, a retired "well-known pitcher" from Hecheng, explained. As a former Hecheng basketball figure, his commentary can always surprise the audience in front of the TV.

After the players of the two teams finished the warm-up shooting, the starters began to stand, and Hecheng University starters: point guard Guo Cheng, scoring guard Hou Wei, small forward Qian Ning, big forward Zhu Zihua, and center Liu Mu.

University of Chemical Technology starters: point guard Yang Ming, scoring guard Wu Jiangtao, small forward Zhang Qi, power forward Zheng Kai, center Wang Xiaoli.

"I didn't see Liu Xiaodong on the field, it seems that Coach Zhang Tiejun attaches great importance to this game and doesn't want to use newcomers to take unnecessary risks!" Liu Qiliang jokingly explained. He agrees with Zhang Tiejun's arrangement, no matter how good Liu Xiaodong is in high school, it will take time to adapt to the competition at the next level.

At the beginning of the game, Yanagi used his experience to fight for the ball in front of Wang Xiaoli.

Hecheng University's first-round attack allowed the University of Chemical Technology to see their blocking and dismantling cooperation. Guo Cheng controlled the ball to the three-point line, used Liu Mu's block to dismantle Yang Ming into the restricted area, and in the face of Wang Xiaoli's block, he flipped his wrist flexibly and passed the ball to Liu Mu, who dunked the ball into the basket before Wang Xiaoli landed.

The University of Chemical Technology attacked, Liu Mu defended Wang Xiaoli, and the inside pillars of the two teams began to confront each other in the penalty area. The basketball was grabbed by Zhu Zihua, who came over to help defend it, and passed directly to Qian Ning on the outside, who stepped on the three-point line and threw the ball in.

In the opening scene, Hecheng University's offensive and defensive efficiency was very high, and a simple blocking and dismantling cooperation of Zhu Zihua and Hou Wei made the University of Chemical Technology take care of one or the other, and Qian Ning was also full of firepower under Guo Cheng's second pass.

In terms of the University of Chemical Technology, captain Wu Jiangtao seemed to have forgotten his shooting skills, and none of his outside shots were hit. The inner barrier Wang Xiaoli was successfully singled by Liu Mu frequently.

Liu Mu was not idle during the winter vacation, he repeatedly watched Yao Ming's game video and trained, he once again leaned on Wang Xiaoli with his back, and after pushing Wang Xiaoli a certain distance, he turned around and hit a jumper.

In the first quarter of the game, 5 minutes and 28 seconds, the away University of Chemical Technology was 13 points behind, which made the head coach Li Jiacheng, who was still full of confidence before the game, very annoyed.

"Pause, pause!"

Before the players returned to the bench, Li Jiacheng shouted to the team's top attacker Wu Jiangtao: "Don't always float on the outside and wait for opportunities, break through more and create more inside kills!" ”

"Wang Xiaoli, what are you doing, Liu Mu is so difficult to deal with! You give me a good idea of what to do next on the bench, Li Yan, you go! ”

Wang Xiaoli wiped the saliva on his face, opened his mouth to express something, but he didn't dare to speak, he knew that the hot-tempered head coach should not be provoked in a violent state.

Compared to the high temperature of the away seats, the home seats are much calmer. Coach Zhang Tiejun just replaced Hou Wei and Liu Mu to rest, and replaced Liu Xiaodong and Yu Fei.

"We see that the three main players of Hecheng University are still on the field, and it seems that our future stars are very popular with the head coach!" Liu Qiliang explained jokingly that he knows Zhang Tiejun very well, and he has always taken good care of good basketball seedlings.

"It's finally time to play!" Looking at the gray and white crowd in the audience, two familiar figures were trying to wave and shout at him, Liu Xiaodong took a deep breath.

Parents are looking at themselves, be sure to show them well! Liu Xiaodong was thinking about it, when suddenly a powerful palm slapped on his shoulder, Guo Cheng shouted loudly: "Don't coward, the guy who is opposite you has been tossed by Hou Wei, as long as you do what the coach tells him, he will not be your real opponent!" ”

Wu Jiangtao gritted his teeth and listened to Guo Cheng's sarcasm about himself, and he vowed to give this newcomer an unforgettable lesson!

The game restarted, and Wu Jiangtao, who was a little tired, stared at Liu Xiaodong as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

Liu Xiaodong kept running back, trying to get rid of Wu Jiangtao's entanglement. But Wu Jiangtao is like a piece of kraft candy stuck to Liu Xiaodong, no matter how he breaks free, he will block his receiving route as soon as possible.

Liu Xiaodong panted and looked at the guy in front of him with super good physical strength, he couldn't figure out if this guy wouldn't be tired, why didn't he hear his wheezing.

Wu Jiangtao's face was grim, looking like a cold-blooded animal, staring sharply at the prey in front of him. But in fact, he is almost dying, he is just holding on, he doesn't want to fall in front of newcomers!

Liu Xiaodong adjusted his breathing, and at the moment when Wu Jiangtao blinked, he suddenly started to the right. Wu Jiangtao instinctively followed the defense, but Liu Xiaodong braked sharply and rushed to the left.

Speed is Liu Xiaodong's advantage, as long as he gets rid of Wu Jiangtao's entanglement, it is impossible to catch up with him.

Guo Cheng was the number one attacker on the field after Liu Mu went off the court, but he was idolized by Nash, and he would never attack if he could pass the ball. Seeing that there was a vacancy at a forty-five degree angle on Liu Xiaodong's left, he passed it over without hesitation.

After Liu Xiaodong received the ball, he fine-tuned his shooting posture and prepared to shoot. Li Yan, a substitute center forward from the University of Chemical Technology, pounced from the penalty area.

Liu Xiaodong instinctively sped up his shooting, and after the basketball crossed a high throw arc in the air that was large enough to cross the rebound, it fell and smashed into the audience.

Looking at the basketball close at hand, Zhao Dazhuang was stunned and made an intimate contact with the basketball with his face.

The audience watched the replay on the big screen in amazement, and after a long time, a burst of laughter erupted in the stadium.
