Chapter 9: The locker room was warm
In the next game time, Hecheng University showed its real fangs, and the perfect cooperation of Guo Cheng and Liu Mu broke all the illusions of the players of the University of Chemical Technology, including Li Jiacheng, the head coach who wanted to trample Hecheng University under his feet and become the city's new iconic team, recognized the huge gap between himself and the opposite team!
By the time the game reached 2:05 in the fourth quarter, the score was already 87-51, a huge gap of 36 points, making the game enter garbage time early. Zhang Tiejun, the head coach of Hecheng University, replaced all the main players, but did not let Liu Xiaodong return to the court.
Liu Xiaodong sat on the bench and quietly watched his teammates running back and forth on the field, but he couldn't participate in it, which made him very depressed, especially when he saw Li Qiang's familiar figure also appear on the field, he felt extremely aggrieved!
"What do you think?"
Liu Xiaodong turned his head to look and found that it was Liu Mu who was looking at him with a smile.
Liu Xiaodong asked in a weak voice: "Captain, why didn't the coach let me play, is there a problem with my tactical execution?" Or is it because my shooting is not good? ”
Liu Mu quipped: "What do you say, don't you see that this is the coach protecting you?" ”
"Protect me?" Liu Xiaodong was suspicious, he didn't know what Liu Mu was talking about.
"Didn't you find that the four main forces on the opposite side all went down, leaving only Zhang Qi? If you want to try his shot put, go to the coach and play! Liu Mu said half-jokingly, he knew Liu Xiaodong's true thoughts, as the captain, it was necessary for him to untie the knot for his junior, especially a junior who was full of talent and could help him.
Seeing Liu Xiaodong unconsciously looking at Zhang Qi running on the field, Liu Mu said meaningfully: "This kind of opponent is not worth your attention, there are many powerful guys in front of us, such as Wang Zekai, that is your real opponent!" ”
Just as the two were talking, the electronic beep at the end of the game sounded, and the score was fixed at 95-63, and Hecheng University got off to a good start in the first game with a huge advantage of 32 points.
Liu Xiaodong played two quarters of the game, played a total of 8 minutes and 15 seconds, and got 4 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in his debut, which was far from what people expected him before the game. If it weren't for the amazing goal of "dunk for pull-up layup", people would even forget the performance of this talented young man who was given the "star of the future" on the court.
Watching Liu Mu being interviewed by a reporter from Hecheng TV like a star, Liu Xiaodong lowered his head and prepared to walk into the dim player tunnel.
Suddenly, a chubby fleshy hand slapped on Liu Xiaodong's shoulder, he turned his head to look, and saw a round head appear in front of him, who else could it be if it wasn't Zhao Dazhuang.
"I said a long time ago that the new shot is not reliable, or the three-eight style shot is the most suitable for you!"
"Get out!" If Liu Xiaodong hadn't seen Zhao Dazhuang with a band-aid on the bridge of his nose, which made him feel guilty, he would have punched this bastard who poured salt into his wounds.
"Cut, I don't know the hearts of good people! Your current shooting looks quite handsome, but what's the use of always not being able to shoot, the backup quarterback Qin Yue who is opposite you is shorter than you and slow like a snail, but he scored 9 points, more than twice as many as you! ”
Liu Xiaodong tried to control his right hand that wanted to wave over, and said angrily: "Do you have anything else, didn't you leave the stage and prepare for class, didn't you see the tigress's fire-breathing eyes?" ”
Zhao Dazhuang shrank his neck when he heard this, and said with a hard breath: "I'm not afraid of her, if I wasn't afraid of even you, I wouldn't quit, see what she can do to me!" ”
Looking at the back of Zhao Dazhuang's trot, the corners of Liu Xiaodong's mouth showed a long-lost smile, and he simply said hello to a few familiar classmates next to the passage, and trotted to the locker room, where there was a head coach who left the field early, and he didn't know if he would say himself.
When Liu Xiaodong pushed open the wooden door of the locker room, there was a scene contrary to his thoughts, Zhang Tiejun showed a kind smile to him, and the veterans greeted the newcomer with warm applause.
"Congratulations boy, your first college league win!" After Zhang Tiejun finished speaking, he was not happy to see Liu Xiaodong and knew what was going on. But he doesn't want to say much, and newcomers need a process of adaptation.
"This will be a good memory in your life, don't care about some small flaws, everything will be fine in the future!"
"You've outperformed us, I remember my first college league game, but my legs were shaking!" Guo Cheng teased himself.
"You've got a chance to shiver, my first game was a whole morning on the bench!" Liu Mu, who had just finished the interview, pushed the door in and said with some curtle.
"Hmph, you were as thin as a monkey at that time, you have to fight or not, you have no skills, and you are not afraid of hitting your confidence by blindly letting you play!" Zhang Tiejun had some airway.
"What?" Liu Xiaodong looked at Liu Mu in disbelief, it was hard to believe that the strong bull-like and delicate and gorgeous provincial No. 1 center in front of him was actually a weak chicken when he first entered the school team.
"You don't have to look at me like that, not everyone has a physical talent like yours!" Liu Mu teased.
"And how did you get on the varsity team?" Liu Xiaodong asked with a puzzled face.
"Because he's a top student!" Without waiting for Liu Mu to answer, Zhu Zihua, who is also a junior, said first.
"What does this have to do with the top students?" Tian Bin, who is also a freshman, is very puzzled.
"Of course you have, you didn't notice that our results were..."
"You mean that the coach recruited the captain to come over, just to help the seniors who are not good at learning to make up for their homework!"
Liu Mu's head was full of black lines, and at the same time, he looked at Hou Wei with palpitations. Hou Wei smiled awkwardly.
"Alright, give me some stop!" After Zhang Tiejun finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to greet Liu Jun and his wife who pushed the door in.
"Coach, I'm sorry to interrupt you talking to the kids." Yang Fang said with a guilty face, if she hadn't seen her son depressed, she wouldn't have ventured into the locker room.
"Mother Xiaodong, you're polite."
"Mom, Dad!" Liu Xiaodong shouted in a low voice, like a child who had done something wrong, and walked towards them with his head down.
"Hold your head up, you don't look like a winner at all, you can practice more if you don't shoot well, if you don't have a bad mentality, you can't become a professional player!" Liu Jun knows his son's dream very well, and he wants to remind Liu Xiaodong not to forget the goal he has set.
"Xiaodong, everything will be fine, just like your high school Naxiang bravely overcame difficulties!" After Yang Fang finished speaking, she walked up to her son and hugged him tightly in her arms.
The corners of Liu Xiaodong's eyes were a little moist, he tried to control the tears swirling in his eyes not to slip down, and choked up: "Don't worry, Mom, I will practice shooting well!" ”
"Mommy believes in you!"
