"This is a crucial battle, and we must win it! If we lose, we will have to face the current No. 1 team of the School of Engineering and Technology, which will be more than lucky. Before the second game of the final stage of the Shanghai Trials, the coach who had a gentle personality actually shouted.

Yes, I'm afraid that no matter how good the coach is, he can't bear it, look at the brilliant results of the Jiaotong team a year ago, the first place in the Shanghai and East China divisions, the third place in the CUBA finals, and the victory in a series of visiting competitions with foreign college teams, when all the people in the school are intoxicated with the glory of the past, how can they endure the current dilemma of just competing for a ticket to the East China regional finals?

The whole reason is just because there are two people in the basketball team, the two main offensive points, and the team's scoring champion and rebounding champion are gone. It was not only the scoring and rebounding statistics that took away, but also the confidence of all the players.

A team without a spiritual pillar is like a plate of loose sand, and you can't hold it no matter how you hold it.

"Damn, it's lost again!" Teammate Liu Yongtao scolded.

The result was a disappointment for the coach, who currently sit for second place in the group with one win and one defeat, and only a win over the current top-ranked Faculty of Engineering and Technology team in the next game and a small score win over the second-placed opponent will have any hope of qualifying, and that hope is slim.

If it was last year, the only thing in Shanghai that could compete with Jiaotong University was probably the School of Engineering and Technology. The relationship between the two is very similar to the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls in the NBA in the late 80s and early 90s, when the Bulls saw the hope of entering the Finals but were killed by the Pistons. Naturally, they are young bulls, and we are now the pistons of the twilight of our lives, has the time come for a change of dynasty? Are we doomed to be eliminated? I'm only 21 years old, so how can I be in my twilight?

All I, the new captain, can do is comfort them, and how can I not be upset? In fact, I hate defeat more than any of them, and I have always had the word win in my dictionary.

"Our varsity team has always been a strong team in Shanghai and even in East China, and there are very few opponents who can play against us for more than half the court. We who have entered the national finals many times are now working hard for the right to qualify in Shanghai, which ...... "There are still people who are intoxicated with the glory of the past and do not want to face the reality.

"It's all because we don't fight!"

"Don't be sad, there's one last chance the day after tomorrow! We should be looking forward, aren't we? "The first thing I need to cheer up as captain is the morale of the team.

The coach doesn't blame us for the failure. "Get up from where you fall! We haven't lost our chances, we still have ......"

"Ahem! Cough! As soon as the words fell, the coach's cough sounded again, and the old problem asthma was committed again, and teammate Fan Wenling helped the coach to leave the gymnasium first.

"Facing the College of Engineering and Technology? Do you know how many points they won the day before yesterday and beat us today? Defender Jiang Weifeng said.

"22 points!"

"If one of Zhou Junyi and Zheng Pengfei is still there, maybe there is hope." Striker Li Weiyang said.

"Don't mention those two unproductive people!" Forward Shangguan Yun has a different opinion.

"What's not going on, do you know the truth! Spread rumors wherever you want! Liu Yongtao was-for-tat, and the atmosphere in the stadium became tense for a while.

"No interest is no interest, two people are jealous for a woman, isn't it unproductive?"

"What kind of jealousy, don't spread rumors for nothing! Without Zhou Junyi and Zheng Pengfei, wouldn't we be humiliated by others like we are now? You've got a chance, you win, I'll see. ”

"I can't win against them, but I can at least beat you!"

"Why, if you want to fight, I'll accompany you!" The two are not only fighting with each other, but also have a tendency to spread to fists and feet.

"Enough, don't be embarrassed here, think about it for the coach, the most painful thing at this time should be him, he has worked hard for the school team for more than ten years, and I see that you two are embarrassed here today? We've been embarrassed enough, okay, do we still want to lose and lose and be in the newspaper tomorrow? "I was also angry and yelled loudly.

Everyone was silent, but bowed their heads heavily, not knowing whether to admit their mistakes or to show a negative performance.

"Cheer up! We haven't completely failed yet, there's still a chance! ”

The crowd remained silent.

"Zhang Quanyi, I couldn't watch your game today, what was the result?" I was about to go to the bathroom to wash off my slump when I was slapped the back.

The person who came was Xue Beibei, a senior sister who has always supported the basketball team. Since last year's incident, Xue Beibei, who is Ruan Xinqi's sworn friend, has taken her place, often coming to the gymnasium to watch the basketball team play and do what she can for the team.

I glanced at her and sighed softly.

"What, looking at your depressed appearance, did you lose again? Lost a few points! ”

"8 points!"

"It's not too bad, there's still a game the day after tomorrow, as long as you win, you still have a chance to qualify!" She said it lightly, but it was evident from her smile that she was also smiling, so that we would not lose our faith at the end!

"You're so well-intentioned!" I thought to myself.

"I must work hard, I'm still waiting to drink your celebration wine!" After saying that, she left in a hurry, not at all like a senior sister.

"Unconsciously, I have been in this school for three years, and when I filled in the college entrance examination, I didn't go to Fudan, which I wanted to go into, and I heard that the basketball environment here is good, and there are two players who were selected for the All-Star team in the high school league, and I only got here for basketball, and now I ...... thinking about it, my mood can't help but dim again.

Laugh at! - Snort! ――

There seemed to be very few people in the bathroom today, and it seemed a lot quieter, and I unconsciously sorted out my thoughts while taking a shower:

"You are Zhang Quanyi! One of the three carriages of Jiaotong University! Sign me for it! "It's really deserved to think about it, compared with Zheng Pengfei and Zhou Junyi, I'm really nothing, the so-called "three carriages" I'm probably just making up the numbers! I was flattered that I had become the subject of autographs for them.

In last year's national quarterfinals, facing the third place in the previous year, Zhejiang University. Zhou Junyi scored 31 points, while Zheng Pengfei had 17 rebounds in addition to 26 points, and although I only scored 14 points, I had 16 assists in that game. After knocking out Zhejiang University, that game made me famous. The next day, the sports section of a well-known local newspaper prominently wrote the headline "Jiaotong University's three carriages are powerful, Zhejiang University will only meet next year." Since then, it has been passed on to ten, ten to hundred, and it has become a secret known throughout the country, although I do everything I can to prevaricate, but others still call me and Zhou and Zheng together.

That's it, who knew that there were such two sensational things that caused the whole school, Zhou Junyi and Zheng Pengfei actually left the school at the same time, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the basketball team, and the remaining burden seemed to be pressed on my only remaining carriage at once. In order to deserve this title, I have worked hard, after the regular training every day, I practice 100 shots to make up for the lack of scoring ability, and 20 round-trip sprints to make up for the lack of physical strength and explosiveness; In addition, the necessary physical training every morning and before going to bed is necessary to strengthen the physical confrontation, carefully watch the video of the game, learn the advantages of a good playmaker, and strengthen your organizational skills. And rebounds, steals, and defense I try to do my best.

Even so, I still couldn't do it, and every time I was able to score more than 30 points and get a dozen assists per game, but to no avail, the team's decline was inevitable. Since the seniors of the graduating class have withdrawn from the basketball team one after another, this situation has begun to deteriorate further, in addition to the lack of reserves, what is more dangerous is that the team is intoxicated with the past glory and cannot extricate themselves, and when one defeat after another shatters their original beautiful dreams, the most feared thing as a sports team befalls - the hearts of the people are broken and the fighting spirit is lost.

As the captain of the team, I felt that it was so tricky for the first time, even if I was more than 20 points behind at half-time, as long as I saw the determined expressions of the players, I would also be encouraged, and I was still able to chase one point at a time in the second half, and I never thought of giving up, even if I failed by a few points in the end, everyone still felt that there was something to gain. And now that all these things are gone, as if when you are down by more points in a game, the rest of the time is garbage time, just waiting for the referee to blow the final whistle, and I really don't know how to boost the morale of the players.

Laugh at! - Tssss

The sound of the water breaking in the bathroom pulled me back from my fantasy and I hastily packed up my things and left the bathroom.

After the evening self-study, I wandered aimlessly on the playground of the campus alone, passing by the hidden area on the edge, and I could hear the intimate voices of couples. It's been a thing of the past, but there's a conversation between a couple that caught my attention:

"Do you know He Jinwen?"

"Who is He Jinwen? Could it be something you've taken a new look at? ”

"What! He was the propaganda minister of the first two student unions, and was later arrested and expelled. ”

"How did you get caught?"

"It's rape!" The girl deliberately lowered her voice and said.

"How is that possible? Are there still such people in our school? ”

"How impossible! You just came in this year, and when the basketball team was very beautiful last year, I often went to the basketball gym to watch their games or practice, and every time there was a girl sitting with the basketball team, I heard that the girl's name was Ruan Xinqi. It is rumored that the two core figures of the basketball team, Zhou Junyi and Zheng Pengfei, both like her, are secretly jealous, and later fought in the cafeteria, and both of them were expelled. Then the girl could not stand the behavior of the two of them, and fled that night. ”

"Who knows, He Jinwen has been paying attention to Ruan Xinqi for a long time, and when the two fought, he realized that it was the right time, and then followed Ruan Xinqi, and then ......"

"He thought that he would take advantage of the dark night and not make a sound Ruan Xinqi didn't know who he was, and in the end, he was smart but was mistaken by being smart, and he was recognized by Ruan Xinqi."

"What happened?"

"Later! He Jinwen is in prison, but I heard that he is about to be released. ”

"How can it be, is it enough to go to prison for only one year for such a serious crime?"

"Of course not, it's his father and uncle who have the ability."

Hearing this, I left quietly, if it was really as they said, wouldn't it be very dangerous, since his father and uncle had such great ability, maybe he would take any revenge on the basketball player and Ruan Xinqi who beat him down.

Back in the dormitory, the lights were turned off, and I couldn't sleep over and over: how to raise the morale of the basketball team, can fight a turnaround battle in the game the day after tomorrow, whether the rumors about He Jinwen are true or false, and if so, if he retaliates, how should we deal with it? No, I'm going to tell the players about it tomorrow.
