Section 7 Three Photographs (Revised)
If you only start from Han Chongyu's appearance, ordinary people will never associate it with basketball. There is no deliberate decoration, but the face is very delicate, the skin is white, the body is slender, everything is quite natural; A model of a beautiful boy. Reminiscent of the image of a fairy in a fantasy story.
And it is such a person who looks a little weak, the Prince Charming in the minds of many girls, is unbeatable in the high school of more than 1,000 people in Siyuan Middle School, and he is only 16 years old.
The air rover team composed of Han Chongyu and his other 3 companions also play the most natural basketball on the court, they are a mysterious division, and it is usually difficult to see them on the school playground. As soon as school ended, the four of them left the school early. In physical education class, the four people who were all warm-up did not show anything extraordinary. And let the whole school know the name of the air rover when it was the first "Si Yuan Summer Cup" held last year, when the air rover team, which was only a freshman in high school, faced the "Slam Dunk Furious Song" known as the strongest team of Si Yuan in the finals, and won 4:1 bloodlessly, the name of the air rover team was a blockbuster that day, and that was also their last appearance in the school arena, until a year later in the second "Si Yuan Summer Cup" They appeared again.
Unlike other strong teams, they didn't have the slightest sense of tension in the game, although they knew what kind of opponent they were up against, and in the unhurried rhythm of the Air Rover, the opponent seemed to be in the palm of their hand. In the words of one player who played against the empty team: "I don't feel how strong they are, but they are always more than twice as high as us on the scoreboard, and then they lose the game in a no-brainer." ”
The above is all Li Xin's understanding of the Air Rover team, and the ball has come to the front of the "natural boy" Han Chongyu.
"You won't have any pain."
“!? What did you say? ”
"You won't feel any loss if you lose. It's an honour to play against us, it's great to be able to play at your age, it's just one step short of last year. ”
"But this is a step that you will not be able to overcome." In her calm words, Li Xin completely lost her sense of security.
The ball had been picked up, and as soon as Han Chongyu closed his hands, the ball fell into his hands. After that, in the seemingly ordinary passes, three passes and two passes tore away the defensive gap of the "Lanmeng Boy", and Peng Chenzhi easily got the first point.
Han Chongyu's defense is not as aggressive as Ling Junxiao's, if Ling Junxiao is a sharp sword, then Han Chongyu is a soft sword. I can't feel the sword wind, but in the gentleness, I hit the key point with a sword. Everything is lost unconsciously, ball control, defensive system, rebounding, points that deserve to be obtained.
In this way, the first half was over, and there were no big waves in the audience, and the "Lan Meng Boys" did not complain too much, even if they had lost two games in a row with 3:11 and 2:11.
The trio motioned to the referee to ask for some water while getting some respite.
"Maybe we'll stop here."
"I feel the same way, their skills have reached another level."
"Although we are unwilling, I have to say that we may not be able to win against them even if we try our best."
"Their style of play can be said to be soft, and there doesn't seem to be a clear advantage in attack and defense, but before you know it, you lose a lot, which is really strange." The four of them expressed their opinions, and there was no lack of praise for their opponents in their words.
"In the second half, Shengwei is on, Xia Jun controls the ball, I want to see what the problem is!"
"That's probably the only way to learn, and the most important thing is to be able to learn something."
As in the first two games, the third game of 4:11 ended in an unhurried manner.
In the fourth game, maybe the opponent relaxed, maybe Li Xin really found some loopholes in the opponent, Li Xin, who re-entered the game, together with Zhuo Yifan, Xia Jun blossomed inside and out, and finally pulled back a game 11:9, so that he was not shaved by his opponent in the end.
It wasn't until the fifth game that Li Xin vaguely noticed where the opponent's advantage was. It turned out to be Han Chongyu's body, which had fast speed and agility, but he very cleverly hid this during the game, just using a speed sufficient to deal with the opponent and repeatedly toying the opponent between applause, and in such a comfortable situation, the opponent had no ability to tell where and when their next attack would come from. As a result, they can only let their opponents slaughter them until they finally lose the game.
It's one thing to see where the problem is, but it's another thing to solve it. In the fifth game, although Li Xin and others fought hard, they even overtook 7:6 in the first game. But when Han Chongyu's eyes revealed a serious look, it was equivalent to announcing the failure of "Lan Meng Boy", and Han Chongyu, who showed his real strength, scored 4 points in a row and ended the last game 11:6.
Li Xin can only talk about masturbation with this strength. The "Air Rovers" defended the "Siyuan Summer Cup" in a dull atmosphere, and as Han Chongyu said, Li Xin did not feel any loss as a loser.
The awards were also given at the end of the game, and the MVP (Most Valuable Player Award) of the tournament certainly belonged to Han Chongyu, the core figure of the "Air Rover". And "Lan Meng Boy" won the Dare to Fight Award, while Li Xin won the Best Rookie Award.
Although I didn't win the championship, I was a good runner-up as a freshman in high school. As one of the purposes of the "Siyuan Summer Cup", the selection of outstanding basketball players to form the Siyuan High School basketball team was also put on the agenda immediately after the game.
The team list is mainly selected by the physical education teacher according to the performance of the players during the game, and the scope is mainly concentrated in the top 16 teams, of course, the students' votes are also used as a reference basis, which shows the democratic side of Mr. Zhao, the director of physical education and research.
On June 10, the list of players of this basketball team was posted on the school's bulletin board:
Name, height, weight, position, grade, team

The players in the team are all players who have performed well in the rematch, and the team is more concentrated in the top four teams - "Air Rover", "Lan Meng Boy", "Slam Dunk Fury", and "Basket Walking" team.
Although it should be expected to enter the school team with the runner-up result, Li Xin and the three are still very happy, because they are the only three students selected among the first year of high school. But Chi Shengwei's defeat somewhat made the "Lanmeng Boy" a little regretful.
The next day, the first rays of sunlight in the morning lifted the curtains and poured directly onto Li Xin's bed. The warm sunlight woke up the sleepy Li Xin, and stretched deeply, although her father still did not come back. But the arrival of a new day is completely different for Li Xin, who accompanies him is not only loneliness and basketball, but also friends such as Zhuo Yifan, Xia Jun, Chi Shengwei, and Ouyang Chi, Li Xin has found more meaning in life in addition to basketball and loneliness.
In addition, thinking back to the strong opponents on the "Siyuan Summer Cup", Ling Junxiao, if Han Chongyu hadn't made one hundred and twenty percent effort, he would have been eliminated a long time ago, and if it weren't for them, he wouldn't have stimulated one hundred and twenty percent of his ability!
"I'm on the varsity team, and it's going to be a fresh start from today." Li Xin stretched again.
After rubbing his sleepy eyes, what he saw was a mess in his room. This is the result of no one taking care of it for a long time, and Li Xin, who only thinks about basketball, has never felt how messy her bedroom is, let alone tidying up her bedroom. And Li Xin, who has a good mood today, is messy but makes him feel particularly eye-catching.
"No, no, no, how can people live in such a place?"
So, Li Xin picked up a mop and broom and cleaned up her room. In the process of sorting out the clutter, there were some interesting discoveries: a leather shoebox full of clutter actually hid several photos at the bottom. Looking at the yellowed photos, it is indeed some time, one is a woman holding a baby sitting peacefully on a chair, and next to a tall man standing with his hands on the woman's shoulders smiling and happy, this is an ordinary and happy small family photo. If anyone sees it, they will say two words of envy, not to mention Li Xin, who has lost the love of her parents since she was a child.
Although the man in the photo is quite young, Li Xin can see at a glance that it is his father, and the baby is naturally herself, and the beautiful mother with long hair with a shawl must be her deceased mother. Li Xin's mother left them when she was ten years old due to a serious illness, and Li Xin has never seen her mother since, and there are no pictures of her mother in any of the family's photo albums. When asked why his father didn't have a picture of his mother, he only perfunctorily said that she didn't like to take pictures. And until today, Li Xin once again witnessed her mother's beauty, although she did not have the beauty of sinking fish and geese, but her fresh and simple appearance really did not look like a woman who was a mother, and even more like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. Li Xin stroked the photo back and forth several times before carefully placing it in what she thought was the safest place.
The second photo is a group photo, in which he recognized his father, who looked younger than the previous one, probably two or three years older than the current Li Xin, and what surprised Li Xin was that his father was actually holding a basketball in his hand, and he and the others in the photo were also dressed like athletes.
"Did your father play basketball too?"
In the third photo, there are five children around seven or eight years old, three boys and two girls. There was a young woman sitting in the middle of them, looking at the background as if she was in school, and that woman might be the children's teacher, in which Li Xin found a child who looked like herself.
"That's a picture of me when I was a kid." Li Xin thought to herself.
Li Xin carefully looked at the appearance of several children again, and remembered them all.
"I don't have any impressions, is it because I have a bad memory?"
Li Xin put the two photos together with the one just now. There are a lot of questions in the photo, and Li Xin has been haunting her mind for a long time.
