Chapter 1: Windward Youth

Next Chapter

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Hecheng.

The dark sky falls with silver and white, decorating the city with lights everywhere into a fairy tale ice and snow world.

On the white and empty Longbei Street, two young people who got up early were learning penguin steps, swaying and sliding forward, leaving a series of exaggerated footprints, neatly and staggered in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, a Hafei Lubao sedan flew by, and the cold wind blew on their faces, making the originally happy smile instantly turn into annoyance.

"What the hell are you doing so fast!" Liu Xiaodong rubbed his frozen red ears and yelled loudly in the direction of the car figure.

"Let's go, the stadium will be occupied by Dasha Qiang's gang in a little later." Zhao Dazhuang looked at the destroyed snow and said very depressedly.

Half an hour later, the two trotted to a public court in Lonza Park. There is an open-air basketball court, which has been occupied by a group of young people, who are clearing the snow from the concrete floor with shovels and brooms.

"Hey, isn't this the future star of Hecheng University? Why don't you come to play at a venue like ours! Li Qiang sneered. He and Liu Xiaodong were competitors of the same high school varsity team, but after applying for Hecheng University, they did not meet the admission score line, let alone become a special sports student of Hecheng University.

He could only go to a chemical university in the same city that did not attach importance to sports, which cast a shadow on his dream of professional basketball.

"Are you pulling calves with me? This is the stadium of the people of Hecheng, but it is not a territory for you to occupy alone! Liu Xiaodong fought back. He was the captain of the varsity team in his junior year of high school, and this Dasha Qiang was just a substitute who handed out towels.

"Hmph, I didn't say this is my territory, if you want to play, just wait until we're done!"

"That's it, we've all cleared the snow, you two just came, what qualifications do you have to call here!"

"Get out of the way, don't stand here and get in the way!" The young people shouted. Many of them are nearby students who have not been admitted to the special recruitment of Hecheng University, and while they are envious of Liu Xiaodong, they also have a trace of jealousy.

"What are you talking about, I think you owe it to clean up!" Zhao Dazhuang took his hand out of the pocket of his down jacket, and was about to step forward to teach these arrogant guys a lesson.

"Forget it, Da Zhuang! Don't fight with them, after all, the venue was cleared by them, let's take the car to the Chengbei Park Stadium, where there are fewer people. Liu Xiaodong said very painfully. He only has 5 fast money left in his pocket, and it will cost 4 fast for the two of them to ride back and forth.

"Phew, I'm a coward for the future star!"

"I really don't understand, Hecheng University likes him!"

Hearing the ridicule of several young people, Liu Xiaodong's body tensed, and his right hand clenched his fist tightly in his pocket. He doesn't want to fight, the National College League is about to start, and he doesn't want to be banned for off-field incidents, but that doesn't mean he's a bully!

"Alright, don't make any noise!" Although Li Qiang's nickname is Dasha Qiang, he is not stupid at all, as a member of the University of Chemical Technology, he knows very well that the qualifiers that start on March 5 are also his chances to perform.

"Liu Xiaodong, do you dare to have a 1-on-1 bullfight with me, if anyone loses, whoever will invite everyone to eat grilled sausages, how about it? Do you dare? Li Qiang said provocatively. He really wanted to defeat Liu Xiaodong, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he didn't want to give up.

"Do you have any money in your pocket?" Liu Xiaodong said with contempt. He knew too well the mouth cannon in front of him, a guy with a pocket cleaner than his face.

"Uh..." Li Qiang's face was embarrassed, his mouth was quick for a while, and he didn't take into account the actual situation.

"Let's follow the rules of the school, the loser, run 20 laps around the court." Liu Xiaodong is talking about high school training standards, not Hecheng University's training standards.

"Good!" After Li Qiang readily agreed, he threw the basketball in his hand at Liu Xiaodong very unfriendly.

After Liu Xiaodong received the ball, he smiled and said: "Later, it was a guest, then I am welcome!" ”

Li Qiang kneaded his frozen hands, ready to step forward to make defensive moves. Liu Xiaodong stood outside the three-point line, kicked the ground with his feet without warning, stretched out his arms forward and upwards and his wrists turned outward at the same time, pressed the ball slightly with his thumb, and threw the ball through his fingertips.

After the ball is shot, he lifts his heels, stretches his body in the direction of the shot, and aims his index finger at the blue dot, palms down.

Liu Xiaodong's shooting action is very standard, looking at his relaxed state, he thinks he is an excellent shooter.

After the basketball crossed a beautiful arc in the air, it smashed firmly on the edge of the rebound, and bounced back with a screech.

Liu Xiaodong quickly intercepted the ball, and he said without blushing or panicking: "Your basketball is very angry, let's officially start!" ”

A group of young people on the sidelines looked at each other, and secretly scolded this deflated calf thing in their hearts, which is really shameless! failed to engage in a sneak attack, and can still pretend to be so calm, how thick is this cheek!

At the same time that everyone despised Liu Xiaodong, a former classmate of Liu Xiaodong in his third year of high school couldn't help but look puzzled.

Liu Xiaodong in his memory shoots very accurately, but the action is a 38-style shooting used by girls, which is not the standard action of the current men's basketball team.

"Could it be that I am dazzled, is this still the women's basketball shooter Liu Xiaodong?"

"You weren't dazzled, it was he who corrected his shooting posture in the first half of college!" A tall young man walked over with his hands in his pockets.

"Willow!"

Everyone was a little surprised, why did this guy come, he is the captain of the Hecheng University basketball team, a third-year, 2.11 meters star center, and the person who is most likely to be selected by the CBA team to play in the entire Hecheng.

Liu Mu walked to the sideline and did not speak again, but looked at the two people facing each other on the field with interest.

On the court, when Liu Xiaodong hit the iron again from a distance, the ball was handed over to Li Qiang. Li Qiang controlled the ball and came to a two-step position outside the three-point line, and began to shake his shoulders to make a feint before breaking through.

Liu Xiaodong stepped back to the three-point line and waited for Li Qiang's start to break through.

Li Qiang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said angrily: "You don't look down on people, I am also a guard with long-range shooting ability!" ”

"Really? How could I not know! Liu Xiaodong pretended to be puzzled and asked, as if he really hadn't seen Li Qiang shoot a three-pointer.

"You wait for me!" Li Qiang gritted his teeth and said angrily. He was originally a scoring guard in the same position as Liu Xiaodong, and he was 1 cm taller than Liu Xiaodong who was 1.95 meters, but he was arranged by the harsh and old-fashioned coach in high school to sit on the bench.

He wants to defeat this guy who can't get into Hecheng University, and he wants everyone to know who is the successor to Hecheng's first quarterback!

Thinking of this, Li Qiang threw the ball. As soon as the basketball broke away from his hands, Liu Xiaodong pounced.

Li Qiang sneered in his heart, three steps away, if you want to block the basketball I throw, it's just beyond your strength!

Li Qiang didn't take long to be complacent, and he saw a stunned scene.

I saw Liu Xiaodong's legs glaring hard, his body jumped up like a spring, straightened his slender right arm, and flew the basketball out fiercely.

On the sidelines, everyone was silent, and Liu Xiaodong's physical talent and defensive coverage area displayed in this block made them feel extremely shocked!

"That's, that's too exaggerated! He jumped up to a height of 1 meter, is this really what a freshman can do? ”

"His arm span is even more exaggerated! Li Qiang is the same height as him, but when he straightens his arms, you can clearly see that Li Qiang is a cut shorter than him! ”

Liu Xiaodong only used one block, and everyone on the sidelines saw his perverted physical talent!
