"It's finally centered on me." This sentence, Li Xiao, the center of Brilliant Middle School, has been waiting for almost three years.

Two years ago, at about this time, Li Xiao transferred to this school where he had been a national team player as a basketball sports student. At that time, he had a dream, that is, to become the main force of this school, like his idol Guo Jun, to lead this school to fight its way out of the basketball court of Southwest City High School.

He is confident that he has this condition, because he is 195cm tall (high school fresh), and he is known as one of the three center forwards in junior high school in Southwest City.

He is a character on par with the monster Li Zhi.

He is full of confidence that he will definitely go further than the other two centers in high school!

However, when he entered the basketball team of Brilliant Middle School, he found that this team was no longer the basketball team with the inside line as the core seven years ago. Instead, it's a team with the outside as the core.

As a result, he sat on the cold bench for a whole year in his first year of high school.

At that time, he was still looking forward to his future.

Because of his expectations for the future, he trains hard every day. Finally, after a year of hard training, he became the starting center in his sophomore year of high school.

However, this year was the most torturous year for this boy.

Li Zhi and Qin Wei, the two centers with the same name as themselves, have long been the team's starters, and they have accumulated rich experience and more scientific training for the basketball team after a year of competition. And he, as a substitute, in addition to working hard, seems to be inferior to the original opponent.

In the winter tournament a year ago, Brilliant High School finally relied on its outside ability to reach the quarterfinals. But in the eight-in-four game, they lost to the North Palace Academy.

By the way, the captain of Beigong Academy is Qin Wei, who was as famous as this center Zhang Xiao. Although Zhang Xiao worked hard, he faced the more powerful Qin Wei, and his team lost badly.

At that time, Qin Wei looked at Zhang Xiao, in addition to regretting that this former opponent had become a blue-collar center, he could only laugh and laugh at the fact that this team had given up such an excellent center.

And also this year, Zhang Xiaohe and the team reached the top 16, and he met another center forward Li Zhi, who was the same name as him at that time. This time, he played superbly, chipped in 16 points and 15 rebounds, but ultimately lost.

This defeat made him finally realize that he had become farther and farther away from his former opponent because he had changed from the original offensive center to a blue-collar center.

This kind of discovery made him very uncomfortable, and he found a coach, hoping that the coach would give up this peripheral shooter lineup and add some interior players to help him share the pressure on the inside. He has the confidence that he can lead the team to the Final Four with his inside strength.

However, his advice was learned by his four teammates who did not perform so well in the summer season.

The four teammates who were not so bright because of their performance in the summer game, worried about being replaced and blamed, they found the coach behind their backs and said that it was the reason why he did not cooperate with the coach's peripheral tactics alone, so he would stop in the top 16 this year.

The coach is not a fool, he understands very well that stopping in the top 16 is a problem of his own tactics, not Li Xiao's problem.

However, this adult was worried that he would lose his job because of admitting tactics, so he could only throw the pot to Li Xiao along the steps of these four team members.

Li Xiao didn't know that he was unknowingly carrying the cauldron, and he was still looking forward to it, expecting the coach to follow his advice, share the pressure on his inside, and let himself play against the two opponents on the court again.

And the newly recruited Changren Second Team, on the surface, is to share the pressure for Li Xiao. But actually... Just to look for a center forward to replace Li Xiao, who is about to graduate.

Li Xiao didn't know all this.

Li Xiao's dunk just now made Brilliant Middle School boil.

also made Li Zhi, who was known as a "monster" in the audience, and Beigong Academy, known as the "iron wall", Qin Wei feel that the "tiger" Li Xiao was back.

"Give me one more ball!" After Li Xiaogai took Gu Jing's shot, he yelled at the team's point guard.

At this time, he was full of the breath of a beast, and he felt good, as if no one could stop him.

"No problem!" The point guard bowed his head to show that he knew, but when he looked down, his face was full of gloom.

Li Xiao ran into the inside line, received a somewhat reluctant pass from the point guard, and when he wanted to repeat the old trick and dunk on the inside, he found that Murong Bei and Gu Beicheng were guarding him.

Two people who were already not much different in height and physical fitness were guarding him, so that he had no way to force the score.

He could only pass it back and run for the ball.

However, the point guard who passed back to Li Xiao did not pass back to Li Xiao, no matter how good the position Li Xiao ran to. The point guard passed the ball directly to the scoring guard who was defended by Qin Weijia and asked him to shoot in the middle and long range.

This time, the difficult shot actually went in with an element of luck.

also pulled the score to 4 points.

However, it was this shot that made "Tiger" Li Xiao understand a lot. His face finally darkened.

"Bait." Li Xiao smiled gloomily.

He understands that he is still not the core of the team. He's just a decoy.

I'm just a bait thrown by the coach to the inside line of the High School Affiliated to Beijing University.

It occurred to him that the coach was just saying to pass the ball to himself!

This made Li Xiao appear this smile for the first time on the court in the high school league for two years.

Li Xiao finally went berserk because of the coach's choice.

He looked at Gu Beicheng, Murong Bei, and Gu Jing, the three insiders who attacked his formation.

He silently said in his heart:

"I envy you..."

Then, no longer hesitating, he yelled at the three challengers:

"Come on!"

Listening to Li Xiao's angry howl, the four people from Brilliant Middle School all showed sarcastic smiles.

Because, they feel that Li Xiao is still living in what they think is a "him-centered" strategic dream.

However, they didn't know that Li Xiao's roar this time was just to shatter the beautiful dreams they had been looking forward to and having had for so many years.

Li Xiao was very fierce.

Like a fierce tiger, he covered Gu Beicheng's layup, and he desperately ran in the direction where the basketball was knocked away by himself.

He caught up with the basketball, and this time he didn't pass the ball to his teammates as usual.

Instead, he controlled the ball and rushed to the basketball half court of the High School Affiliated to Beijing University alone.

"Finally, I'm back..."Li Zhi and Qin Wei looked at the boy who was running wildly, recalling the man who was known as the Tiger and the core of the whole team in the junior high school league.

They couldn't help but stand up.

"Knock off the inner line of the High School Affiliated to Beijing University! Tiger! ”
