Located in the Songnen Plain in Northeast China, Hecheng is an ancient cultural city with a history of more than 300 years, and it is also an emerging city with great development potential.

It is the second largest city in Heilongjiang Province, with 35 ethnic groups including Hui, Manchu, Mongolian, Daur, Korean, Kirgiz, Oroqen, Xibe, etc.

There are many tourist attractions in Hecheng, especially the Zhalong Nature Reserve, which has the reputation of "the world's largest wetland and the hometown of Chinese cranes". This is also the origin of "Crane City".

The city's tourist attractions are dense, such as Nenjiang, Mingyue Island, Longsha Park, Rossia Street, "Longjiang First Village" Gannan Xingshi, "North First Lake" Nilkis Lake, etc.

There are many historical and cultural relics, including the Angangxi civilization 5,000 years ago, as well as the industrial civilization; There are not only ethnic folk culture and religious culture, but also hundreds of years of Liuren former residences, former residences of station people and other Liuren border culture; There are not only the ruins of the Heilongjiang General's Mansion, the General's Yamen, the Military Supervision Office and other official offices that effectively control the frontier, but also the historical and cultural relics such as Tazicheng, the Golden Great Wall, and the century-old Middle East Railway Station.

It is such an ancient cultural city, which gave birth to a "famous basketball school" Hecheng University in modern times in 1952. They have been able to achieve good results in the college league every year, and they have also sent their own talents to the CBA professional league.

But last year, due to the "blowout" rise of young basketball talent in oil cities, they fell into the battle for the top two in the same province, and they did not even qualify for the regional competition.

*****

At six o'clock in the morning on the seventh day of the first lunar month (February 24), the sky was dark, and many young people were still asleep, but Liu Xiaodong got up early to have breakfast, rode a bicycle with the help of the light from the street lights on both sides of the road, and rushed to the sports institute of Hecheng University to report against the cold wind.

Hecheng University is 9.2 kilometers away from Liu's old-fashioned residential area, and it takes him 20 minutes to ride as an athlete. He climbed on his bicycle to a bridge made of rocks and rocks, and with the light of the street lamps, he saw the 1.39 million square meter campus of Hecheng University.

Hecheng University is located in the middle of the two rivers "Labor Lake" and "Nenjiang", surrounded by water on three sides, and enjoys the reputation of "University around the lake".

Liu Xiaodong rode to the main entrance of Hecheng University and got off, took out his student ID card printed with "basketball team" with his somewhat frozen right hand, and handed it to the security guard at the gate with a smile.

"Come on in, your coach has been at school for half an hour." The security guard said with a smile that he had received a notice from the "school office" yesterday that the basketball team would train in the gymnasium 10 days before the start of school.

Liu Xiaodong rode his bicycle to a crane-shaped building inlaid with blue glass, which is a comprehensive gymnasium that symbolizes the take-off of Hecheng's sports career.

The hall covers a total area of 4,788 square meters, with a total construction area of 7,725 square meters and a capacity of 5,118 spectators.

It can accept international ice sports such as ice hockey, figure skating, short track speed skating, curling, etc., as well as basketball, volleyball, table tennis, badminton and other ball games.

Liu Xiaodong parked his bicycle and walked into the gymnasium of Hecheng University with his backpack.

At this time, there was still an hour before the team meeting time, so the basketball practice court seemed empty. But there was a middle-aged man in a black down jacket who walked over with a smile on his face.

"Good morning, Coach!" Liu Xiaodong looked at Zhang Tiejun and greeted him politely.

"Xiaodong, you came early!" Zhang Tiejun looked at this new proud disciple, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

"I want to train early and find my shooting touch!" After Liu Xiaodong finished speaking, he walked to the rack and picked up a basketball, took a deep breath and began shooting training...

Zhang Tiejun looked at Liu Xiaodong, who was constantly doing shooting training, and couldn't help but think of the data from Liu Xiaodong's physical test in the gymnasium in mid-August last year, which was really excellent.

Liu Xiaodong, male, born on April 28, 1988, is 18 years old. The height of the bare feet is 1.95 meters, the height of shoes is 1.98 meters, the arm span is 2.08 meters, and the weight is 80 kilograms. ”

"100m sprint, 10.35 seconds!"

"3/4 sprint, 3.55 seconds!

"Bounce 98 centimeters on the spot!"

"The maximum height of the run-up is 112 cm!"

"His physical gifts are really good! If he can master the right shots, his achievements will be limitless! Liu Mu walked up to Zhang Tielin and said enviously.

"yes, if he can practice his shooting, he will be another Tsurushi player who has a hope of entering the CBA after you." Zhang Tiejun said firmly, in his heart, his expectations for Liu Xiaodong are higher than Liu Mu, after all, there are too few good defenders in China.

At this time, Liu Xiaodong, who had just finished training shooting, did not choose to stop and rest, but picked up the basketball on the floor and began to practice breaking through to the basket.

The basketball controlled by Liu Xiaodong seemed to have life, and with the left and right movements of his hands, the basketball was like a part of his body.

Liu Xiaodong's smart ball sense made Guo Cheng, a fourth-grade point guard who had just arrived on the court, envious, who did not have such good ball control skills at Liu Xiaodong's age.

Liu Xiaodong changed direction and shook the ball, accelerated to the basket, and sent the ball into the basket with soft fingers.

"What a little monster!" Zhang Tiejun smiled in his heart. He couldn't think of any shortcomings that Liu Xiaodong had besides shooting. Are you on the thin side? He's just a kid and can eat it slowly, but the agility on the field isn't for everyone.

Zhang Tiejun has never looked forward to the start of the college league as much as he does now, and he wants to prove his coaching level as soon as possible, and it is not as bad as last year!

This year, in addition to having Liu Mu, the "No. 1 center in the province", and Guo Cheng, a more mature and stable fourth-grade point guard, they also have a talented Liu Xiaodong.

He believes that Hecheng University can compete with any university in the province, even if it is a national powerhouse, he also wants to ask for advice!

Looking at Liu Xiaodong, who was constantly training on the field, Zhang Tiejun seemed to see the hope of the rise of Hecheng University.

"Assemble!"

Zhang Tiejun saw that the team members had arrived, and beckoned the team members to come over, he knew that he should say something to improve the morale of the team members!

"A month and a half of rest, I don't want you to forget the shame of last year!"

"Hecheng University's record of entering the divisional stage of the University League for 7 consecutive years has come to an end in our hands. This makes me feel ashamed, I don't know what you guys think? ”

"Defeat your opponent!" Under the leadership of captain Liu Mu, the team members shouted neatly.

"Excellent! Quite a few of you are in your final year of college, and I don't want anyone to graduate with regrets! ”

Zhang Tiejun looked at the angry team members, he knew that the heat was almost over, and it was time to arrange the next tasks.

"It looks like you can't wait to play, so from now on, our tactical training has officially begun!"
