Tom's question was like dropping a bomb that didn't cause an explosion in the room, but it left everyone speechless for a moment.

"You, why didn't you say it earlier!" Koori opened his mouth, but finally opened it with great difficulty.

"You didn't ask me about this, did you?" Tom's expression was innocent. Then he asked Xiao Kong again: "Miss Kong, you see that my five people who started in the first place have finally come together, you won't refuse our participation, right?" ”

"Alas!" Xiao Kong sighed heavily, "You're just messing around!" If, I mean, if one of your team members gets injured or sick and can't play, you're not enough! ”

"Oh! You can rest assured of that! If this really happens, our Qingpu team will abstain and admit defeat! Tom was so adamant that he seemed to have to attend.

It's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God, and Xiao Kong is going to be nerve-wracking now.

"Hey, Officer Kong, you see that Mr. Tom is not afraid, so don't be difficult for yourself. It's all about time, where are you going to find another team to replace you temporarily? Let's let Qingpu Primary School participate! It's all about participation! Coach Wu heard that there were 5 people on the other side, and his heart was already happy, it seems that his promotion this time is also stable, and he will not worry about dragging the opponent down just by using the wheel battle!

Seeing that the two coaches Wu and Du were so lucky, and then looking at the "murderous" Zhang Xia beside him, Li Sisi sighed, so envious of those two guys!

It seemed that what Coach Wu said was reasonable, and after thinking about it again, Xiao Kong had no choice but to nod, "Okay then!" But Mr. Tom, you must ensure that the players are rested, and do not neglect the health of the children for the sake of the game! If I see that the players of your team are not in good shape, I will disqualify you from the competition in time! ”

"Gotcha!" Tom was delighted and popped out his mantra again.

There is really no way to take this foreigner, Xiao Kong shook his head helplessly, as if he was tossed by this Tom and had no strength, and asked everyone in a low voice: "Then who else has a question to say, if not, today's meeting will be here!" ”

"Director Kong, I really have something serious to report to the Basketball Association!" Coach Wu of Wenyuan Primary School didn't want to end the meeting early.

"Okay, you can say something!" Xiao Kong waved his hand at him, and the others were also curious about what Coach Wu, who had always been rude, would make today.

Coach Wu pondered for a moment, and then said, "I think it's time to change the venue for our competition this year!" The league is held every year in this season, the weather is not warm, and we have to go to the open-air stadium in the sports center to play the game, so how can these children in our hands stand it, don't tell everyone, there are always a few people in my team who have a bad cold after the game every year! That's the case on my side, and I guess everyone is no better, right? In my opinion, the league should be played in the Panthers' arena. As we all know, the Panther Club's arena is the best basketball venue in Qingshan City, with air conditioning and free drinking water in the stadium, and more importantly, the players' lounge there provides hot water for bathing. Let's think about it, the children are sweating all over the ball, and they go to take a hot shower and change into dry clothes, isn't it very good! It's better than walking to the toilet for five minutes at Feiyang's place, right? ”

After publishing his tirade, he may feel that his words are a little excessive, so he added another sentence to Old Man Long: "Old man, I'm not targeting you, I'm just talking about things, don't take it to heart!" Old Man Long listened, smiled at him and nodded, indicating understanding.

Coach Wu's proposal was supported by Coach Du and Coach Li Sisi, and seeing them nodding, Lao Wu said to Fan Jinsong beside him: "But this matter is not up to me alone, and I have to listen to everyone's opinions." Coach Fan, what do you think of my proposal, will it affect the normal business of your Black Panther Club? ”

Fan Jinsong thought about it for a while, and said to everyone: "Needless to say, the problem of affecting business is not to mention, as a member of our Qingshan Basketball Association, we should have done this." As Coach Wu just mentioned, there are indeed some inconveniences in playing outdoors in winter. As the only basketball hall in our Qingshan City, we Black Panthers have the obligation to support the league held by our Basketball Association. As long as everyone is willing, there is no problem on my side! ”

"Well, about the selection of the game venue, our basketball association has indeed discussed it." Xiao Kong and Da Qi had actually made similar suggestions to Director Liu, and they also felt that it was better to put the game in the stadium, and in recent years, many adult competitions have been held in the Black Panther Arena, so the organization and reception work will be more mature. But every time he mentioned it, he was always rejected by his old man. Now the team below has also raised this matter, Xiao Kong just collected everyone's opinions, if everyone is willing to put the game in the Black Panther Arena, then Director Liu should not be able to refuse this time, right?

"What do the others mean?"

"I disagree!" Teacher Lu neatly refused, "Holding a league for primary school students in Feiyang is a tradition of our Qingshan for many years, how can it be changed at will?" Don't forget Feiyang, but the birthplace of basketball in our Qingshan City, without Feiyang, the pioneer, Qingshan would not have today's basketball grandeur! ”

"Hey, Mr. Lu, what year of the old yellow calendar are you talking about, and you still have to turn it out? Society is developing, the times are progressing, we can't live in the past forever, right? Now that Coach Fan is also willing, wouldn't it be better for the children to go to a venue with better conditions to play? Coach Wu put aside the unhappiness with Teacher Lu just now and began to persuade.

Coach Zhang Xia of the girls' primary school also spoke at this time: "I don't think there is any need to go to the basketball hall, originally learning basketball is to strengthen the body, and when I encounter a little difficulty, I choose to escape, how can I not endure any hardship?" It's completely against the spirit of sportsmanship! ”

Each had different opinions, and the scene was at a stalemate. Fan Jinsong stared at the old man Long on the opposite side, and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Old man Long, what do you think about this matter?" ”

The old man seemed to be indifferent to this, and there he was dozing off with his eyes half-closed. Suddenly, I heard someone calling me, and I immediately woke up, "Huh? What's the matter? Who's calling me? ”

Fan Jinsong leaned forward, his eyes never left Old Man Long, and repeated: "Old Mr. Long, everyone is now arguing about the selection of this competition venue, and I would like to hear your opinion." ”

"Oh, that's it!" Old Man Long suddenly said, "Hey, isn't this simple!" You've all watched the NBA, right? Whoever is at home is playing at their own stadium, and we can just learn from them. ”

"However, our format is not home and away, it is just a knockout system. How can this problem be solved? Fan Jinsong asked with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

The old man waved his hand with a big grin, "That's easier!" Let's draw another lottery, let Xiao Kong write four 'home' notes, whoever wins, will go to whomever to play! ”

"Then the second round starts, and the away team that was drawn before will automatically become the home team, so that everyone has the opportunity to play in their own stadium!" Tom added very spiritually on the side, and suddenly he slapped his head: "No, there are bugs here, what if the two teams encountered in the second round are both home teams or away teams in the first round?" Will there be another draw? ”

"Huh." Old Man Long slowly stood up, "Actually, where to fight, which opponent to fight, these are not the most important!" Why did we Qingshan insist on holding the basketball league for 20 years? It is to allow the teams that usually do not interact with each other to communicate more through this opportunity, so that the overall basketball level of our Qingshan will improve! Meeting friends with football is the purpose of this league! ”

"Well said!" Liu Zhenhua didn't know if he had been listening to it for a long time at the door, or if he happened to pass by. When the old man dragon finished speaking, he walked in through the door.

When everyone saw it, they all hurriedly got up and kept greeting him, "Director Liu, are you here?" But Director Liu only nodded to the flying Coach Long.

"Sit, sit down!" Liu Zhenhua pressed his hands and asked everyone to sit down, and he himself stood at the desk and continued with the previous words: "What a friend with a ball!" How many years have these four words not been mentioned? I'm afraid everyone has forgotten about it a long time ago, right? Our Qingshan City has sent a lot of basketball talents to all parts of the motherland over the years, where did these people come from? It's all from your team! It is precisely because we persistently attach importance to children's basketball education that we will have today's vigorous development! Do you think that it is great to have one, two, or three in elementary school students? You're all wrong! ”

Director Liu picked up the teacup, moistened his throat, pointed to the trophy on the table and said: "This Qingshan Cup, it not only represents an honor, but also a spirit!" As the old dragon, oh no, the dragon coach said, in the spirit of meeting friends with the ball! Only by constantly communicating, constantly learning from each other's strengths, and constantly competing in a healthy way, will our basketball really progress! Ladies and gentlemen, you really need to learn more from the old-timers! Learn their spirit, learn their concept of leading the team, and learn their attitude towards problems! Liu Zhenhua said this impassionedly, pointed to the seat of the old man Long, and was about to introduce him to everyone ceremoniously, but he suddenly found that the old guy was gone!

was so panicked that Liu Zhenhua's rhythm was disrupted, and he didn't know how to continue, so he waved his hand: "Regarding the selection of the venue, we will follow Coach Long's opinion in the preliminary round, and there is no need to draw lots. The two semi-finals will be played in the Panthers' arena! As for the finals, it still has to be placed in Feiyang! Alright, that's all for today's meeting! Meeting! "After all, Liu Zhenhua is a person in the officialdom, so the arrangement is reasonable, but no one is offended.

Hearing the adjournment, Tom breathed a sigh of relief, and it was finally over. The tension in the venue had already made him a little unable to sit still. As soon as he stood up, he found that none of the other coaches present had moved, so he had to sit down awkwardly.

"Huh? Is it over? Old Man Long's voice came from the corner of the office. Everyone looked, the old man's figure slowly appeared from behind the huge green plant, it turned out that he slipped over to tinker with the pot of flowers again while everyone was not paying attention!

Old Man Long walked towards the door, rubbing his sore old waist, and said to Liu Zhenhai: "Director Liu, I have also loosened this flower soil, and the leaves have also been wiped. Look at what you have to feed! I'll go first! ”

After saying that, he didn't say hello to the others, and just walked away.

This old thing, it seems that he still doesn't want to reveal himself too early! Liu Zhenhua has had a friendship with Old Man Long for many years, and soon understood the intention of his move.

Everyone watched the old man gradually walk away, and then someone slowly made a sound. Coach Wu was closest to Director Liu and asked directly: "Director, is there really any origin of this old coach who is flying?" ”

Liu Zhenhua smiled mysteriously at everyone:

"Hey, anyway, you will have a lot of days to deal with him in the future, so I won't talk about it for now, you can find out for yourself!"
