Section 11 New Year's Hopes
A piece of news that I don't know if it's good news or bad news came:
Zhang Qiyi of Nanyang High School left Nanyang High School after graduating from high school, and of course became the object of competition from many universities. For example, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, such as Shanghai Tongji University. For example, Zhejiang University in other provinces and cities, and Huaqiao University, the overall champion of CUBA last year. Zhang Qiyi finally chose Shanghai Jiao Tong University, which has good strength and the most sincerity. Also graduating together are Mo Wenke and Xu Zhenyu, who are known as the "Nanyang Troika". It is not only Siyuan Middle School that has been greatly affected, but also Nanyang High School.
But only two days later, there was news that Zhang Zhenyi was enrolled in Nanyang Middle School, Zhang Zhenyi has not been in school since high school, has been drifting in Beijing and other places, and has stayed in high school for one level, since the Nike wind and thunder brawl. Back at Zhang's house, Zhang's family contacted the admissions office of Nanyang High School, hoping to transfer their son Zhang Zhenyi to Nanyang High School with basketball expertise. After discussion, the school finally agreed to the Zhang family's request. Zhang Qiyi is gone, Zhang Zhenyi is here, the twin brothers between the two powerful players are coming one by one, and the strength of the guard line of Nanyang Middle School does not have much impact.
"What? Zhang Zhenyi joined Nanyang? ”
"I originally thought that after the three main forces left, the strength of Nanyang would also be greatly affected, but isn't it the same as last year?"
After learning the news, there seemed to be some negativity in the team. But Li Xin was secretly happy in his heart, and it was self-evident: there were powerful opponents to challenge.
Since fighting Zhang Zhenyi in the three-on-three arenas in Beijing and Shanghai, Li Xin actually knows the strength of the two brothers.
In terms of organizational ability, Zhang Qiyi is even better, and Zhang Zhenyi, who is used to playing street basketball, is obviously not as good as his younger brother in terms of the overall view of the entire team.
But on singles. Breakthrough. Score. Defense, rebounding ability is almost all Zhang Zhenyi's advantage. Even the three-point ability on the outside is Zhang Zhenyi's slight advantage. The experience of being robbed by Zhang Zhenyi many times makes Li Xin fully understand how powerful his defensive ability is, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the top among high school students in the country. In light of this, the school is likely to put Zhang Zhenyi in the position of scoring guard rather than point guard. And in the world of high school basketball, the existence of a scoring machine can help the team beyond imagination. High school basketball is certainly not more holistic than professional basketball such as the NBA. Usually a scoring machine can get a third or even half of a team's scores. Coupled with his defensive strength, he is a tiger to Nanyang High School.
Ye Zongtian, a sophomore in high school, has grown a lot this year, and has grown 3cm taller this year, reaching a height of 193cm, and 193cm is a very tall figure in the big forward position in the high school world, and his scoring and rebounding abilities are still excellent, and this year Ye Zongtian has changed more to the center position.
As far as Shanghai's famous basketball schools are concerned, there is naturally no shortage of basketball talents. According to Ouyang Chi's intelligence, the three positions of the rest of the main force are composed of one senior player and two senior players.
The two freshmen are basketball seedlings cultivated in their junior high school. There is no official basketball league in junior high school. There are only occasional exchange competitions with other schools and groups. However, Nanyang Junior High School has won all 8 of its 8 exchange competitions in the past year. An astonishing 22 points on goal difference. The opponents were not only junior high schools, but also had one match against a high school team and one match against the Shanghai Sharks. Among them, the most outstanding is Liu Yanhe, who averages 19.5 points per game and 5 assists. and Chen Yuhui, who averaged 20 rebounds per game. These two are regarded as the rising stars of Shanghai basketball, and after entering high school, they naturally provoked the pillars of the team. He served as the team's main point guard and main power forward. The height of the two is 177cm and 187cm respectively
"And the last main player" Ouyang Chi put his index finger on the top of his glasses before announcing the information, and a light seemed to flash on the lenses.
The senior high school player is Luo Yiyun, who played night basketball alone in school late one night the year before last and also met in the Nike Wind and Thunder three-on-three game.
"How could it be him?" Zhuo Yifan and Xia Jun were both surprised when they heard it.
"Actually, it's to be expected." Li Xin still seemed to be very calm and said.
"I have long heard that Luo Yiyun was on the basketball team of Nanyang High School before, but he had a holiday with the main player Mo Wenke, so he left the basketball team and left Nanyang High School. But this year, now that Mo Wenke has left the team, Luo Yiyun's return is also possible. ”
Ouyang Chi nodded, and then Li Xin's words continued: "Well, according to my information, Luo Yiyun was recommended by Zhang Qiyi, and the basketball team came forward to negotiate with the school's admissions department to get Luo Yiyun back. He and Mo Wenke's holiday was just a matter of heart, I heard that Mo Wenke's father used to be an important sponsor of the school, but this year it seems to have been withdrawn. Luo Yiyun's return is also a matter of course. ”
"What about the coach who was reluctant to let him be the main coach in the first place?" Xia Jun asked.
"For the sake of the team's results, it's easy for the coach to give in. If you don't give in, the director of the sports department will come forward to adjust. Li Xin replied, he knew no less about the ins and outs of the whole incident than Ouyang Chi.
"Well, the team still cherishes talents!" Ouyang Chi touched his chin and said.
"This is one of the reasons why Nanyang High School has always been at the top of the basketball industry in Shanghai high schools." Li Xin sighed.
"So what is Luo Yiyun's strength?" Jiang Haotian asked.
"once won Mo Wenke single-handedly, but the team was unwilling to give up Mo Wenke and chose Luo Yiyun as the main force, which was the fuse of the contradiction between the two. What do you think of his strength? Li Xin said.
"Wow, Captain, how do you know everything? I'm the intelligence chief. Ouyang Chi teased and looked at Li Xin in surprise.
"I've played so many balls and met so many people, so there's still a little bit of gossip." Li Xin smiled proudly.
In this way, the main lineup of Nanyang High School this year can also be obtained:
Center: Ye Zongtian's 193cm90kg senior was promoted to captain at the same time!
Power forward: Chen Yuhui 187cm82kg high one
Small forward: Luo Yiyun 186cm85kg senior three
Scoring guard: Zhang Zhenyi 184cm79KG senior high school
Point guard: Liu Yan and 177cm68kg Gao Yi
It is still the favorite team to win the championship in Shanghai.
In terms of Guangming Middle School, last year's main forces Xiao Changhuan and Fang Qiongyu were retained. and Shan Wenwei, a sophomore in high school last year who was promoted to captain.
Another team in last year's semi-finals, Whaley High School, was a sophomore in high school last year. Shirakawa is still on the team. Although Mu Zheng has already entered university. But the team with these two players. Still a must-win for any team.
The Spring Festival is coming soon, the school is entering the winter vacation, and students, teachers and coaches are going to have a holiday. But the players of the basketball team spontaneously still go to the school gymnasium every day to report, and the teachers are gone, but the head coach Li Xiaolong is here, the assistant coach Zhou Junyi is here, and the team assistant Fang Wenxin is there. Zhang Xiaoxue is here. The team has 12 people on the bench, and 2 substitutes are there, and every day in sports management, it is still the squeaking of the floor, the sound of basketball entering the basket, the shouts of the players, and the sound of cheering each other. The cheering on the sidelines, this winter is not cold, at least in the sports tube of Siyuan Middle School.
February 7, the traditional Chinese Chinese New Year's Eve. The basketball team spontaneously had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together. It has nothing to do with the school, it has nothing to do with the teaching office. It is only related to the 14 players of the basketball team, as well as 2 coaches and 2 assistants, and of course, the team's intelligence officer Ouyang Chi.
Fang Wenxin finally booked two tables at her mother's friend's restaurant, which is an ordinary but popular restaurant, with an endless stream of diners every day. The boss is an authentic Chongqing person, and the main business of the restaurant is, of course, Sichuan cuisine. The butter borscht here is a signature hot pot. There are also fish heads and bullfrogs. It's all steaming hot, like the atmosphere in the basketball team now, and the delicious taste in your mouth, that taste is a strong New Year's flavor. While eating, a huge shadow covered Fang Wenxin's eyes, Fang Wenxin was startled at first, and then turned to look. I saw a big man with an inch head standing behind her, which startled her: "Ah!"
Her cry attracted the attention of the others, who all raised their heads to see the big man, and began to discuss: "Who is this person?" ”
"If you're so tall, do you also play basketball?"
"Isn't it anyone's acquaintance?"
And Dahan was looking towards the corner of the table, his eyes resting on assistant coach Zhou Junyi.
Zhou Junyi also raised his head, and the surprised expression was clear on his face.
"You, is that you? How did you end up here? ”
"Jun Yi! Is it really you? ”
"Pengfei! How did you end up here! After the two were shocked for a second, Zhou Junyi hurriedly got up and made room for the big man: "Come on, come on!" It's such a coincidence to sit down and eat together. I've been looking for you for years, and I actually met you here! ”
"Is this appropriate?" Dahan still has some prevarication.
"Suitable, what's inappropriate, Wen Xin, this is my buddy, Zheng Pengfei! In the past, a basketball team, with an extra seat, was considered mine. ”
Everyone had never seen Zhou Junyi so enthusiastic about a person. Although he has only been an assistant coach for a few months and is not familiar with him, everyone has always had the impression that he is a very cold and unsmiling person. Although he has a high technical and tactical literacy for basketball, he often even gives head coach Li Xiaolong some targeted advice and is recognized. But more of his expression never seems to be visible to others. What is the origin of this man?
Zheng Pengfei, Zhou Junyi's teammate in the basketball team of Jiaotong University, is 196cm tall, plays as a power forward, and has developed upper body strength. He is a defensive stalwart, but also has a strong ability to attack inside. Of course, that's all in the past.
However, the story buried in the hearts of the two is that they also fought for a girl at the beginning, and were even removed from the school basketball team, and then released their previous suspicions, and the relationship became closer, and so many years have passed, they have worked hard for their basketball dreams, but in the end they have not fully realized. Together, they were the main players of the Jiaotong University basketball team. It was all the rage on the court, and at this time Zhou Junyi became the assistant coach of the Siyuan High School basketball team. And what about Zheng Pengfei?
"A friend asked me to come here, and I came, and I was asked to come to you."
"Your friend? Who is it? ”
Zheng Pengfei looked around, saw Li Xiaolong and said, "Oh, it's Director Li!" ”
Everyone turned their surprised eyes to Li Xiaolong again.
"Dad~! Tell me what's going on? Li Xin was also curious about the ins and outs of this matter.
"Ah~, here's the thing." Li Xiaolong took a bite of the second pot, took a bite of the dish and said:
"When I was an assistant coach of a club team in Shanghai. Go to Jiaotong University to select talents. I saw Peng Fei and Jun Yi on the court. I was very impressed with them. I recommended them to the manager when I got back to the team. However, when I went to the school to find someone not long after, the school said that the two had been expelled from the school because of the brawl. I wondered. But good people can't let it go like this, so I thought of all kinds of ways to find them. I finally found it, but Jun Yi had a torn ligament and couldn't play anymore, which is a pity. But I talked to him for a long time, and a lot of basketball philosophies were very similar, even though he was 21 years old at the time. I think even if he doesn't play, he's a great basketball talent, and he has the opportunity to be a coach at our school today. Director Li took another sip of wine and continued:
"Then I found Pengfei again, he had just been removed from the school, he was looking for a job everywhere, everyone was tanned, I was very distressed to see it. After learning the news of his expulsion, the head coach of the Shanghai club team at first strongly opposed Peng Fei's entry into the team, because he felt that this person had a problem with his character. I can say that the head coach finally agreed to take a look at Pengfei. Peng Fei came to the team for a tryout, and his ability also impressed the head coach. chatted with Peng Fei again, and finally agreed to let him join the team for training. Then we went to the national league and finished fifth. Originally, it was not a big problem to go down step by step and enter the first-class team, but "Speaking of this, Li Xiaolong stopped.
"I'll tell you myself, Director Lee!" Zheng Pengfei took Li Xiaolong's words and continued:
"It's still a problem with my personality, Tai Chong doesn't get along with the head coach, he always asks me to be responsible for more defensive tasks, for example, covering teammates in the offensive position, these are all right, but when some opportunities appear, I think it's a normal choice, and it is impossible to throw every ball, he always says that I am too selfish, and I don't share the ball to teammates who have better chances. I ignored him and went my own way, and I scored 35 points in one game. He didn't have anything to say, but after that, he kept stumbling on me, and one day I got angry, clashed with him, and pushed him. I got a little bruise on my chest, and then I was removed again, and then I was constantly wandering around society, sometimes playing for businesses and making some money. When he was 32 years old, he stopped playing and opened his own steamed bun shop, and this has been the case until now. Saying that the atmosphere here was a little depressing, Zheng Pengfei poured himself a cup of Wuliangye into the cup, sighed, and continued:
"Actually, it's also my own problem, I'm too outspoken, I can't hold back things, and it's easy to conflict with others! The coach had the idea of coaching, but he blamed himself for being too young and self-conscious at the time, and he was expelled from school and still did not learn his lesson. Over the years, I have been in society for a long time, and the edges and corners have been smoothed out, what to argue about, just do your own. ”
Li Xiaolong patted Zheng Pengfei on the shoulder and said, "The head coach back then, oh, not the one when I was an assistant coach, it's the next one." His approach to coaching was a bit problematic, the chances were better in attack, the way the ball was handled better, and I had a constant disagreement with him when I went to the team to watch training and games. But at that time I was no longer an assistant coach, and then it turned out that his coaching was problematic, and he was relegated directly when he was fifth in the league last year. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things, today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone have a good meal, a toast, and make a New Year's wish." Li Xiaolong raised his wine glass and motioned for everyone to have a drink, of course, the students were not allowed to drink, and they all replaced it with drinks.
"Tell me what are your New Year's resolutions? Who's going to say first? ”
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Fang Wenxin was the first to raise his hand.
"My New Year's resolution is to hope that the team will continue last year's strong performance and reach the national tournament and achieve good results!"
There was a roar of applause from under the table!
"Okay, who's next?"
"Me!" It was Ouyang Chi who raised his hand.
"My wish is to discover more potential stars for the school in the new year. At the same time, discover more of the rising stars of Chinese youth basketball. ”
"Good!" Another round of applause!
"I'll say a few words!" Changed to Zhuo Yifan to speak.
"In Siyuan for more than two years, I, Xia Jun, Li Xin and other basketball team partners have really grown a lot, I used to say that Siyuan Middle School, and the basketball team, I haven't heard of it at all, and then we actually entered the national competition, and also won the five-time champion Wusheng High School, which was unimaginable before! I'm going to the U.S. soon, and I'm very, very, very, very, very sorry for you, but for the sake of my basketball dream, I have to go to the U.S.! My New Year's dream is to have another basketball game in the United States! ”
"Good!" This time, the applause was more enthusiastic than the previous ones.
The other team members also expressed their opinions and expressed their New Year's wishes, and the last one to speak was Li Xin.
"My New Year's resolution, as simple as it sounds, is not simple. My dad Li Xiaolong is a basketball man, and he has struggled for most of his life, and I used to be resentful of his various indifferent families, but the more I grew up, the more I understood his difficulty, the pressure he beared, his responsibility, and his regrets~! He didn't get the highest honour for the national team, so he put his dream on us, so as a former head coach of the national youth team, he was willing to succumb to come to our school as the head coach. There are also Brother Jun Yi and Brother Peng Fei, they are more than ten years older than us, and they are another era. I also saw their previous efforts and regrets, but they are still pursuing their dreams, their basketball dreams, although sometimes it is very difficult, there are all kinds of exclusion and incomprehension, and physical pain, but they have gone all the way. I would say that a person becomes different because he has a dream. Life is not only about what is in front of you, but also about poetry and distance! Go for it, Sassy Nian! Go for it! Juvenile! Go live our basketball dream! My New Year's resolution is: more than life, more dreams! Let's work hard to enter the national competition~! ”
"Good! Good~! Good~! The applause reached an unprecedented level of enthusiasm, so much so that it startled the diners at the next table. Some people left tears of excitement, including Xiaoxue, Wen Xin, Xia Jun, and even Zhuo Yifan, even Zhou Junyi, Zheng Pengfei, and even Li Xiaolong.
There is still a month left before the Shanghai regional selection competition. All the teams are gearing up and ready to try! (To be continued.) )
PS: The idea of the remaining chapters of Chapter 5 has been completed, and the end of Chapter 5 is about to end the first part. The second part depends on the final reaction, my dream is to publish this book, and if I can achieve this ideal, I will continue to write it. It's been 10 years, a lot has happened in 10 years, it's been a long time, like many readers say sorry, but I haven't forgotten her, my first novel, the content of the story seems unreasonable and outdated in some places, in order to take care of new and old readers, I decided to make a big revision to the previous length, including the protagonist decided to make a big revision to the previous length, including the hero's birth year, etc., and there are some details, and there are contradictory plots. But the main body of the story does not change. The protagonist's name will be changed from Li Xin to Li Xin according to the suggestion. At the same time, it will not affect the follow-up reading to update the follow-up chapters, but it will be updated slowly at the beginning, I hope you can continue to support it, after all, this is the biggest motivation for the author to complete the long story!
