Chapter 17: Twelve Nova Stars!
The trio, who had played basketball all afternoon, met to have dinner at a nearby CD snack.
Since the National High School League was held in October, the players' information had to be handed in half a month in advance, so Gu Jing decided to report Lin Mu's information first. For this request, Lin Mu naturally did not refuse.
Seeing that Lin Mu did not refuse, the ecstatic Gu Jing generously invited Lin Mu and Gu Beicheng to have this dinner, which made Lin Mu and Gu Beicheng a little embarrassed.
At the dinner table, Gu Jing and Gu Beicheng began to talk about the favorite topic of basketball teenagers, which was the national league in October.
Neither of them had any experience in the Southwest City High School League, but both of them had seen the Southwest City High School League games.
Southwest City was originally only a basketball city at the bottom of the national college league, but his high school was able to rank in the middle of the country, and as for why he was ranked in the middle of the league, he still had to rely on the two schools in this city.
A 717 middle school, a North Palace College.
The basketball of these two schools is well-known in the country, especially 717 Middle School, which also won the quarterfinals in this year's National Basketball League, breaking the best high school league results in the history of Southwest City!
Moreover, this year's 717 Middle School is more worthy of everyone's expectations. Because this year they introduced Xia Yubing, one of the twelve rising stars in the country, to join, which just made up for the defect that their scoring ability is not strong!
It is also because of Xia Yubing's joining, there are rumors in the entire Southwest High School basketball community, and it is rumored that this year's winter selection tournament is an exhibition game for 717 Middle School to break through the national top eight and even enter the top four.
To be honest, although the rumors of this kind of exhibition game hurt the hearts of all the teenagers who love basketball in Southwest City, but if the skills are not as good as others, they are not as good as others, just like Murong Bei said, only the winner can stand at the end on the basketball court.
In the conversation between Gu Jing and Gu Beicheng, Lin Mu did not interject, he listened carefully to the noteworthy opponents in their mouths, and similarly, he was also curious about the twelve new stars in the country in Gu Jing's mouth. Because, among the twelve new stars, Xia Yubing's strength is only ranked seventh.
However, Gu Jing didn't know who the other eleven new stars were, because he also saw this evaluation from a magazine during the summer vacation.
So, Lin Mu finished the meal with questions about the twelve new stars, and on the way home with Gu Beicheng, Gu Beicheng inexplicably raised his head and looked at the starry sky and said:
"I'm so envious. I also want to be called by other people like the Twelve Novae. ”
Indeed, this nickname, which sounds bullish and is based on strength, is quite enviable for a second-year teenager like Gu Beicheng.
In fact, not only Gu Beicheng was envious, but Lin Mu was also quite envious, but at the same time, Lin Mu wanted to meet these twelve new stars for a while, because, with the system in hand, he only needed to work hard, and he would definitely be able to catch up with or even surpass them!
Thinking of this, Lin Mu looked at Gu Beicheng with an envious look on his face and suddenly said:
"Don't be envious, or, let's play."
"What? Race? ”
"Competition, which of us can run to the commissary near my neighborhood first. Who loses, and who invites whom to drink? ”
Gu Beicheng listened to this interesting game in Lin Mu's mouth, he put away his envious expression, and said vigorously:
"Compare to whom, who is afraid of whom!"
As a result, when he was not ready, Lin Mu had already started running impatiently, and every step of his running was very steady, as if the target he was in was not just a commissary, but a place farther away...
"Brother, wait for me..."Listening to the miserable cry behind him, Lin Mu smiled, and he said loudly:
"Run with me, to become and surpass those who once made you envious!"
"Then you still have to say it!"
Under the starry night, the two secondary two teenagers began to run for the goal they wanted to surpass.
In the world of basketball, every drop of sweat will not be disappointed! And, in the world of basketball, every goal is not unsurpassable!
The next day, Gu Beicheng, who had back pain because of too much exercise yesterday, came to Lin Mu's house again in advance, waiting for him to go to school, but under the guidance of Lin's mother, he came to the basketball court in the community.
He was surprised to look at Lin Mu, who was immersed in practice and didn't notice his arrival, and the basketball that was wrapped in cloth and couldn't make a sound.
He looked at Lin Mu, who was desperately practicing his shortcomings, and he didn't care about the pain all over his body, walked to the basketball court, and ran.
The pain of tearing muscles made him sweat on his head, but the more pain he felt, the more he could go beyond the limit.
He gritted his teeth and ran like a fool, feeling his limits a little bit beyond yesterday, and he smiled knowingly.
"What are you doing?" I don't know how long he was running, but a voice interrupted his run.
"I'm running." Gu Beicheng said breathlessly, and his big schoolbag also crackled with his rhythm.
"I ask you... What are you carrying your school bag on? Lin Mu looked at Gu Beicheng, who was stupid, and touched his forehead helplessly.
"I'm waiting for you to go to school!" Gu Beicheng looked at Lin Mu and said.
"It's Sunday... We rest..."
"What?" Gu Beicheng blushed instantly, he remembered the wrong day, and he couldn't wait to find a crack to get into.
"Come on, let's train together!" Lin Mu looked at the lovely Gu Beicheng, and finally couldn't help laughing, he threw the cloth wrapped in the basketball to Gu Beicheng, and then continued:
"You can practice shooting with me. You're too bad at winning shots. ”
"No problem!" Gu Beichen stepped forward and twisted his wrist and began to practice shooting.
While they were practicing shooting, there was also a teenager practicing the ball on a public basketball court in the eastern district of Southwest City.
If Lin Mu saw this young man, he would definitely call out his name in surprise!
He is Xia Yubing, the teenager who destroyed Lin Mu's basketball dream before, and the MVP of the Southwest City Junior High School League before.
He is 187cm tall (2cm longer in the summer) and is playing basketball resentfully.
Although he has been crowned by many people since he was 6 years old when he came into contact with basketball, and he has also been asked by many scouts to enter the professional team in advance, all of this is a floating cloud in his eyes.
The player he admires the most is Kobe Bryant, and he wants to enter the NBA to become the fifth Chinese player! So, his goal is to be the strongest!
However, he understands that he is not the strongest, whether it is the evaluation of the twelve new stars or after entering the 717 middle school and seeing the wonderful ball skills of the captain of the "Little Giant", he feels that he is actually a frog at the bottom of the well.
Moreover, yesterday, after Xinjiang Huiguan No. 2 Middle School, one of the top four in the country this year, came to his school for a friendly match, he finally tasted the first shame in his life after seeing the skills of Zhao Weiyi, who ranked fourth among the twelve new stars.
With this sense of shame, he had to work harder and sweat more!
