Except for the newcomers who just joined the basketball team this year, the rest of the team members who knew about last year's incident were all surprised. Everyone discussed countermeasures, as if it was more important to face He Jinwen who was really out of prison than to face tomorrow's game, which made me a little unhappy.

"Okay, don't discuss it, I've just heard about it, our first goal is to prepare for tomorrow's game against the College of Engineering and Technology, and all other events will be put aside for the time being."

"What is there to prepare for, nine times out of ten it will be a big defeat!" Shangguan Yun is obviously the representative of the team who retreats, and such a person who damages the morale of the team naturally has to be severely punished.

"Shangguan Yun, give me 50 reverse sprints." I scolded.

"Why? You don't think you're the captain! The troika known as Jiaotong University, those two have dropped out, what about you? It's going to be soon! Hahaha...... "Shangguan's unscrupulous evil words made me angry, but considering the interests of the collective, my clenched fist still loosened.

"Violating the fifth regulation of the basketball team, wantonly spreading remarks that are detrimental to the interests of the team and destroying the unity of the team, in the name of Coach Zhao Wenyin, you will be asked to do fifty reverse sprints!" When Coach Zhao's name is mentioned, I am afraid that no matter how stubborn the players are, they will obey.

Coach Zhao Wenyin has been the coach of the basketball team at Jiaotong University for more than 20 years, from an unknown team to one of the few first-class teams in the country, and has been received by municipal leaders. With his elegant coaching style, he is deeply loved by the players, and no one has ever dared to contradict the coach in the more than 20 years of Jiaotong University, and Guan Yun naturally has to obediently do the same when he reports to the name of Coach Zhao.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. As soon as the name of Coach Zhao was mentioned, he slowly moved his steps, and Coach Zhao's figure appeared at the door of the basketball hall.

"What's the matter, are you arguing again?" Coach Zhao said it as soon as he said it, and the birds in the hall were immediately silent.

"Don't have confidence for tomorrow's game? You usually practice hard, there are some things that you can't force, but first of all, you can't lose your spirit! ”

"Ahem-cough-!" The frail coach coughed twice and continued.

"What is missing in our team right now is spirit! If you lose, I don't blame you for losing legitimately, but do you really fight for some games? This is the only thing I regret, I know that my old bones are not very effective, and today I have brought you a guest, and she has come to tell you a story that I hope will touch you a little. ”

"Alright, you come out!" The person who walked in outside the door was none other than Xue Beibei, who had been suffering with the basketball team.

There was a lot of discussion off the field, and he knew both Xue Beibei and the team, so what story could he tell?

"Hello everyone! Entrusted by Coach Zhao, today I will tell you a story, which is not actually a story, it is all really happened to the basketball team. ”

"If it's such an important story, why hasn't it been told before?" Someone in the team asked.

"It's a secret between me and someone, and I've always promised her that she can't tell it easily, and yesterday she probably saw the performance of our team and told me that I could make it public, so I decided to come here and tell everyone."

"Who's that guy?"

"Don't worry, you'll know after I finish the story." Xue Beibei settled down and began to narrate the story.

"A year ago, everyone should know what happened to Zhou Junyi and Zheng Pengfei in our basketball team. And their impulsiveness has caused immeasurable losses to themselves, others and the team, and when I said goodbye to them, I also learned from them their remorse, perhaps because of the price paid by youth. And the one who was most injured in this incident was Ruan Xinqi, who has always shared the hardships with the basketball team. ”

Ruan Xinqi has always cared about the basketball team, and in the spring, when other girls were visiting designer clothing stores, she did not enjoy the sunshine but was cheering for the basketball players; In the summer, when other girls were at home with the air conditioner on, lying on the comfortable sofa and leisurely watching TV, she was buying drinks for the basketball players despite sweating; In the fall, when other girls and her boyfriends went to the movie theater, she gave up enjoying the crisp autumn weather and comforted the frustrated basketball players in the gymnasium; In winter, when other girls hid in the warm quilt at home, she cleaned the windows and mopped the floor for the basketball team in the basketball hall despite the cold. Xue Beibei narrated word by word, and the words were loud and clear.

"She gave up a lot of her time to sweat and even bleed with the players on the basketball court, and when the team needed someone to encourage her the most, she was always the first to stand up, and the veteran players knew what we called her. - The goddess of the basketball team! Speaking of which, Xue Beibei choked up a little.

"And one day, the goddess was defiled by demons, and the two warriors who were supposed to protect her were killing each other for their own selfishness, what a sad thing." Xue Beibei was already in tears at this time.

"The final result is that our goddess has finally followed in the footsteps of the two and left the basketball court for which she worked hard and devoted her youth forever, the team can no longer be inspired by her, can not see her bright smile, and the team is left with nothing but regret and loss, which is a series of failures."

'We're sorry for her, she's sad to see the situation in which the team is now, she called me yesterday and it was the first time she's called back since she left school. Her tone was light, but I remembered every word. At this point, Xue Beibei's tears had slowly slid down Xue Beibei's cheeks.

"She said: 'I am very sad to see the current state of the basketball team, I am very sorry that I have not been able to help the basketball team until graduation, I still clearly remember those days with the basketball players, those days were the most brilliant and happiest times in my life, I hope that the basketball players can regain their spirits, create a miracle to defeat the team of the College of Engineering and Technology, and represent the basketball community of Shanghai University in the national competition again.' ”

She also said that she sent a tape back, I don't know who secretly recorded it before, but she just wanted everyone to hear her voice, whether it was a veteran player or a new player, she wanted everyone to know that although she can't follow the team from the sidelines now, she will definitely follow the team somewhere. After speaking, Xue Beibei, who was already in tears, walked to the tape recorder, took out a tape from his pocket, put it in the machine, and pressed the play button.

After a brief rustle, the first thing that came was the hustle and bustle of the stadium, the sound of gongs and drums, shouts, horns; After a while, I vaguely heard a girl's voice, and then it gradually became clear: "Come on, Zheng Pengfei, you must hold it!" "Ah, that's amazing, I knew you could do it!" ”

It was still the noise in the stadium, and then there was a girl's shout: "Zhou Junyi, come on, they are not your opponents at all!" "Yay! The shooting posture is really handsome. The voice is so warm and unrestrained that people can't imagine that this is the usually quiet voice of Ruan Xinqi, and the tape includes the cheering shouts of many young girls. As the team members listened, some of them began to wipe the corners of their eyes.

Then there was another rustle, followed by a conversation between a man and a woman.

"Do you really like basketball that much?"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"Do you like it? Why are you? ”

"Uh-huh! I like the feeling of constantly chasing wins, I like to keep proving myself on the pitch, and I like the joy of success with my teammates. ”

"I like to see you focused, sweaty, fight for every opportunity, taste the joy of victory with you, bear the loss of defeat with you, and ......"

There was a pause in the middle, "With those young people who are constantly fighting for their youth." ”

"Just like that, I'm so satisfied, every time I see you jumping for a rebound, once, twice, three times...... Until the ball completely falls into one's arms, or is firmly controlled by someone else. Knowing that he might be in danger of injury, he still jumps out of the field for a ball that is about to go out of bounds, and the result is often that the ball flies out of the field with the person, that is, it hits the bench in the bench and makes a loud noise, but soon stands up as if nothing has happened, at most it is to hold on to the painful area, or pat the dust on the body and throw into the endless struggle. ”

"Only you hot-blooded men can make such a move." There was another pause in between.

"If I can't fight with you on the field, then I'll boil with you off the field!" The girl's voice was crisp and firm, and all the team members couldn't stop wiping their eyes with their hands, including me and Shangguan Yun, who had just been punished on the side, and Xue Beibei had already stopped crying.

A whimper was broken by a deep voice: "Okay, I know you must have been deeply moved, including me, and I hope you can remember what happened today and turn it into motivation for tomorrow's game." ”

"Remember that we are the team and we are the strongest!" The old man's tone was firm.

All the staff repeated the old man's words in unison, but the young man's slogan was more energetic and cohesive.

Soon it was the day of the game, five minutes before the start of the game, everyone was united, determined to win the game, the cheerleaders led by Xue Beibei came to the venue early, and unfurled a long banner "We are the team, we are the strongest team!" ”。

"The game will start immediately, remember that we are a Jiaotong team, we can't insult the glorious name of Jiaotong University, today we are more united than ever, aren't we?"

"Who's the best team?"

"We are the strongest team!" The players are imposing.

As the biggest favorite in this qualifier, the team of the College of Engineering and Technology has a lineup that is better than last year's defeat to Jiaotong University, with three starting lineups of more than 1.90 meters, of which the center Gao Jingkai is 2.05 meters. In contrast, our center Fan Wenling is only 1.98 meters, except for Ji Zhilin, who is higher than the opponent in the position of point guard, the rest are at a disadvantage in size.

After the jump ball, we were on the defensive, the opponent deserved to be a first-class strong team, skillful cooperation, the basic skills of the players were solid, the use of various tactics was flexible, and the defense was also meticulous, there were few unnecessary loopholes. Soon we were 10 points behind at 12:22.

At this time, Coach Zhao called the first timeout, in addition to pointing out the loopholes exposed in our previous games and the weaknesses of the opponent, he also made a substitution, with Shangguan Yun replacing the starting scoring guard Li Yueshui, and Mu Xiang, who was excellent in defense, replacing the main strong forward Li Weiyang. On the one hand, the main way to score against the opponent comes from the inside line to strengthen the defense here, and on the other hand, Shangguan Yun, who has outstanding speed and scoring ability, expects to speed up the pace when attacking.

Shangguan Yunruo is actually a rare player in addition to his somewhat loose personality, extremely fast, with a 100-meter score of 11.8 seconds, good at breaking through and scoring, and also has a certain peripheral scoring ability. The only drawback is that it is easy to leak people when defending, lack of concentration, and its loose conduct has always been hidden by the coach.

After re-entering the game, sure enough, the team improved, and the inside line was driven by Mu Xiang to repeatedly resolve the opponent's offensive, and the offense took me and Shangguan Yun as the arrows, and tore through the opponent's defense several times, and the fast attack was successful, and in just 5 minutes, it was already chased to 26:28, and the opponent also called the first timeout when he saw that the form was not good. After that, the two sides exchanged offense and defense, and the School of Engineering and Technology had a slight advantage, and at the end of the first half, we were three points behind by six points, 38-44.
