*****

On March 5, Liu Xiaodong got up early to pack his things, and today is a very important day for him. The first qualifier of Hecheng University will be played at home, and he will have to go to the gymnasium early to prepare for the game.

"Xiaodong, come over for dinner after cleaning up."

"Got it, Mom!"

Liu Jun sat on the old-fashioned sofa, waited until Liu Xiaodong finished eating, and said majestically: "I made an appointment with your mother, and I will go to school to cheer you on, you have to fight hard, don't drop the chain for me!" ”

"What nonsense!" Yang Fang glared at Liu Jun with disgust, and Liu Jun immediately switched his majestic expression to an embarrassed smile.

"Quickly bring the sneakers you bought to Xiaodong and let him try to see if they fit!"

Hearing Yang Fang's words, Liu Jun slapped his head and immediately walked into the bedroom.

“Air Jordan 17+！” Liu Xiaodong exclaimed in surprise. He snatched the pair of black and white basketball shoes in Liu Jun's hand and kept gently stroking them with his hands. He dreamed more than once that he was galloping on the pitch in these shoes, but he didn't expect it to come true today.

Yang Fang watched her son can't wait to put on his new sneakers, jumping up and down like a child, and she is also happy in her heart. Before Liu Xiaodong celebrated his 18th birthday last year, he told her that he wanted a pair of Air Jordan 17+ basketball shoes, but the price of 1680 yuan was too expensive.

Liu Xiaodong felt the comfort coming from the soles of his feet, his whole body was full of strength, and he couldn't wait to participate in a big battle.

"It's time for us to go!" Liu Jun glanced down at the old-fashioned watch. He didn't want to interrupt his son's happiness, but he knew how important it was to him.

Liu Xiaodong carefully took off the new pair of sneakers and put them in his backpack, he was reluctant to wear these precious sneakers to walk on the cold cement road, let alone wear them to play football like some classmates!

At the same time that Liu Xiaodong's family of three rushed to Hecheng University, in the gymnasium of Hecheng University, Zhang Tiejun was watching the video of the competition of the same city University of Chemical Technology in his office. For this weak brigade in the same city, Zhang Tiejun will not relax at all, he must seriously look for the opponent's loopholes, and use tactics to infinitely amplify it.

Liu Xiaodong is among his peers, and he thinks he is calm and calm. During his three years at Tsurujo No. 1 High School, he was the leader of the team for two years, and he would step up every time it mattered. For a cold-blooded killer in the game, there seems to be no scene that can make him nervous anymore.

But the moment he walked into the team's locker room, Liu Xiaodong clearly felt that his heart was beating faster.

The college league, there will be thousands of viewers on the scene, and there will be national, provincial and municipal TV stations live broadcast, which has attracted attention and sought after, which is a battle that Liu Xiaodong has never seen in high school competitions.

"Are you nervous?" Liu Mu saw Liu Xiaodong sitting on the seat with a serious expression, so he stepped forward and kneaded Liu Xiaodong's shoulders with both hands to relax him.

"No... Nothing to be nervous about! Liu Xiaodong stammered a little, his tone completely betraying his true feelings.

"You need to take it easy and just train and don't think about things that aren't related to the game." Yanagi said in a relaxed tone. He has played in the qualifiers for two years and has seen many newcomers make their debuts, and Liu Xiaodong's current appearance is already good.

"Are you all loaded?" Zhang Tiejun suddenly pushed the door in, making the eyes of the team members look at him.

"Dressed, Coach!" Yanagi led the team to reply in unison.

"Xiaodong, your new sneakers are beautiful." Zhang Tiejun walked up to Liu Xiaodong and said with a smile. He also saw Liu Xiaodong's nervousness and wanted to relieve his nervousness in a joking way.

Liu Xiaodong smiled shyly, not at all like his usual grinister personality. The other team members wanted to tease Liu Xiaodong for a few words, but because the coach didn't dare to make a mistake, they could only cover their mouths and snicker.

Zhang Tiejun glanced at Liu Xiaodong and shook his head, freshmen must have an adaptation process, even if you are a future star, you can't be excluded!

"Okay, let's be quiet, and listen to me. Although the University of Chemical Engineering is weak, I do not allow anyone to have any contempt! The defensive tactics of the past few days must be strictly implemented for me on the field! ”

"Xiaodong, I will arrange you in the position of the sixth man, and when the main force is out of the game, you will lead the substitute to attack me!" Zhang Tiejun really wanted Liu Xiaodong to start, but after carefully weighing the pros and cons, he still gave up this idea, he didn't want to pull out the seedlings and give Liu Xiaodong too much pressure.

"Are you ready to beat your opponent at home?" Zhang Tiejun looked at the team members and asked loudly.

"Ready!" The team members shouted in unison.

"Okay, then let's get ready to play!" After Zhang Tiejun finished speaking, he took the lead in walking towards the players' tunnel.

At this time, the audience was already full, and Liu Jun and Yang Fang found two positions in the front row in advance.

Liu Jun and his wife looked around at the students in gray and white school uniforms, and they were enthusiastic, and from time to time there were excited students who whistled or shouted a few words for the home team. Although Hecheng University is not a strong team in the country, they have a good atmosphere at home.

This made Liu Jun very emotional, and couldn't help but think of his and Yang Fang's youth when they were in school.

"I really didn't expect our son to represent Hecheng University in the competition!" Yang Fang looked at the female cheerleaders performing in the center of the field and said excitedly. She now also thinks that her son's choice to play basketball is very good, and he can get in touch with many beautiful girls, so he doesn't have to worry about his daughter-in-law in the future.
