Section 16 The Mysterious Man (Revision)
"How? Would you be interested in having me as your coach? ”
"Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, you go to the basketball court on the south side of the Wanti Pavilion to find me, let's start with the basics."
"How can you say that you should do it? Haven't we agreed yet? Xia Jun said.
"That's right! Is it because you're tall that you must be a basketball doctor? Basketball is about strength. Zhuo said again.
"Okay, you can still come tomorrow, but it's not training, I'll use this day to prove my strength."
"Well, don't be late! See you or disperse! Little ones! As he spoke, the man stretched out his hand to signal goodbye, and by the time he had finished speaking, he had disappeared from a corner.
"Really, when I met such a strange person, unidentified, dressed strangely, talking strangely, looking at something unpleasant, although he was quite tall, I didn't believe he played basketball." Xia Jun seemed to be quite disgusted by the man.
"Eighty percent of the basketball team was expelled for misconduct! Then do nothing to teach a team with potential like ours and build a reputation for him! Hmph, put gold on your face. But his outfit is edgy enough, I like it! Zhuo Yifan's guess was somewhat correct, but not all.
"I think he's really right, ordinary people don't say to a few people they have never met for no reason that they want to be their coach, as for how many levels there are, let's see tomorrow!"
"I said, after a day of competition, my stomach is hungry, today I have a treat, although I lost the game, but it is easy to do a big thing today!"
The four of them then entered the Japanese restaurant on the corner, which was not as lively as a weekday holiday, but it was not too deserted, and exotic Japanese folk songs were playing in the hall.
The four of them looked around to find a suitable seat to sit down, and saw a familiar figure among the few customers.
"Luo Yiyun!"
"Yo! It's F4! ”
"Where did you get F4?"
"The four of you are going to participate in the NIKE 3-on-3 Street Basketball Challenge today!"
"That's right! What's wrong? ”
"I clearly see four temperaments in the four of them, Shengwei dresses fashionably, Yifan extraordinary bearing is flourish, Xiaoxin is mysterious and unpredictable is fantasy, and Xiaojun is well-behaved and lovely."
"What! I think it's a failure in the game, a bad environment is flith, a bad mood is a faint, and I want to scold when I see someone*! ”
"Okay, it's not mine, we can actually meet here again, it seems that we are really fated, this time it is up to me to invite."
"Miss, four more Teppanyaki!"
At this time, the latest NIKE commercial was playing on the TV, which attracted the attention of several people.
And when they heard the sweet "DOSO" from the cooking lady, several people shifted their attention to the cooking lady in unison.
I saw a red and yellow kimono and a pair of clattering clogs. Under the elegant dress, a young face with a plain face facing the sky and no powder attracted the attention of the four. The cooking lady bowed her head shyly and carefully served four portions of teppanyaki in front of the four of them.
Li Xin noticed it first and hurriedly closed her gaze. After that, the other three also retracted their gaze in turn, but only Luo Yiyun was still watching the departure of Miss Cooking, unwilling to retract his gaze for a long time.
Zhuo Zai leaned closer to Li Xin's ear and lowered his voice: "Heisfallinlove."
"What do you want, sir?" A deep voice came from my ears, it was none other than the teppanyaki master.
“Cookrightbeforeyoureyes.”
"I think it's Beforeyourcookedrighteyes." The teppanyaki master said in a low voice, and immediately picked up the shovel in his hand and rolled the beef in his hand up and down fiercely. When Li Xin heard this, she couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Originally, the English word for teppanyaki was Cookrightbeforeyoureyes, which means "to burn right in front of your eyes", and the master's answer was just one letter wrong and it became "in front of your cooked right eye." ”
That meal sacrificed four hours, 420 yuan, even so, Luo Yiyun still had no regrets, and on the way home, while walking, he kept happily humming Yongbang's "You are my most beloved person": "I fell in love with someone, and I can sacrifice for her." ”
The next day, the three of them came to the south side of the basketball field of the Wanti Pavilion early at half past nine, the Wanti Hall as one of the important gymnasiums in Shanghai, its basketball field has almost become a resort for basketball lovers on the streets of Shanghai, every holiday here must be full, want to play here, there are only two ways, one is to come here early to occupy a half, note that usually if you are less than ten people, you can only have a half, otherwise the latecomers next to you will not scold you to death, but also stare at you.
The second is to rely on the ability, to convince people, specifically if someone is playing a bullfight in one half, you can go up to greet yourself to participate, if the two teams of the game agree, the participating teams will change from two to three, you can agree to how many balls as the limit of the winner to continue the game, and the loser can only go off the field to another team to play, in other words, if you are strong enough so that you can always have the ball to play, which is equivalent to occupying the field, even if you intend to let the other party, let the team that rarely has the opportunity to play a little try, But unsurprisingly, you will be replaced after a while, and if the team is interested, they will leave early.
Of course, if you have the strength, you can also go to the field, indicating that you are going to play this field, if you are not satisfied, use your strength to speak, generally this situation does not happen much in the stadium of the Wantina, because the people who come here to play are not some generals, only people who are extremely confident in themselves or extremely arrogant will do such a thing.
There are all kinds of people here, some of them can be seen at a glance to be professional basketball players, not to mention, even if they come out of ordinary schools, they all have a few brushes, in addition, the "old birds" in their thirties and forties, the "foreigners" with blue eyes and yellow hair, and the tall and strong "old black" are also frequent visitors here, and it is not so simple to play with a ball out of thin air.
Seeing that the mysterious man had not yet arrived, Li Xin and the other four found the highest level of the field and sat on the ground to watch the game. I saw the two sides of the match, one team was uniformly dressed, and they looked like well-trained college players, while the other team was mixed, a typical multinational force, two of the three were foreigners, one black and one white, one tall and one short, one strong and one thin, like the yin and yang sides in the gossip, complementing each other; Plus a tall 17 or 8-year-old high school student, it can be considered a good match.
Let's talk about the "college student team" first, one is more than 1.65 meters tall, one is more than 1.75 meters, and one is more than 1.85 meters. Although there is a difference in height, the gap is extraordinarily average, and the three of them are typical Liuhai, and their clothes are uniform, and there is no obvious fat and thin, which looks extraordinarily harmonious. The three of them also have their own characteristics, although the shortest one is short but not short at all, just thinking about squeezing the inside line, the lethality is also powerful, all kinds of gestures of layups, baskets, boards and even hooks to let the other party can't help him for a while. The tallest one, although he does not have an advantage compared to the opponent's first height, has developed leg muscles, excellent bounce, is not inferior in the rebounding scramble, and is even more amazing is another good kung fu of outside shooting, which makes the big black man who defends him helpless. It's a stark contrast to the short one. The rest is the most exquisite, the dribble is fancy, what continuous crotch left and right exchange dribbles, continuous left and right leg cross dribbles, continuous back and left hand exchange dribbles, left and right turn with the ball, all proficient, which reminds Li Xin of alumnus Ling Junxiao, passing the ball is as fancy as dribbling, what back passes, hitting the ground, crotch and so on are not difficult for him. And there are very few mistakes, but the speed is extremely fast, and often plays the opponent around.
Look at the "motley army" again, the short white foreigner is estimated to be about 25 years old, with a white complexion, not the kind of "overgrown" white lump on his body, the general organization of attacks is initiated by him, passing, dribbling are all presentable, and there is an amazing breakthrough speed when needed, it seems that the ball age is not short and he is a veteran; Look at the big black guy again, the height is almost 1.95 meters, and the body is slightly fat, a typical kind of eating under the basket, the rebound of his own side is almost one person's package, the disadvantage is that the shooting is not accurate enough, obviously a halfway monk, relying on the body also has its own place. Finally, look at the high school student, who is about 1.85 meters tall, has a well-proportioned figure, and his playing movements are also standard, especially the shooting rate is extremely high, and almost all the scores depend on this person.
Although the styles of the two teams are very different, they are quite good-looking because of the difference in level, and in addition to the four people, they also attracted many passers-by to watch, and gradually formed a landscape.
Because it is an informal game without scoring, there is no obvious advantage between the two sides, the two teams have their own characteristics, the game softens various technical styles, and the juxtaposition of Chinese and foreign countries is not much worse than a live broadcast. And it feels like the "college students" team has a slight upper hand. As time went by, and the crowd suggested it, the two teams decided to decide who would win with the last ten goals.
The "motley army" began to be menacing, and at one point actually scored six points in a row to lead 6-0, and the high school student made an extraordinary shot, taking four out of six points. After that, the "college team" began to counterattack unhurriedly, aiming at the weakness of the two foreigners' inaccurate shooting, and then pinning down the high school student with the highest player on his side. High school students who haven't had a good chance to make a move for a long time are trying to break free from the other party's interference, so they keep running.
"Xiaobai" also knows that if you want to win the game, you must first help high school students get rid of the opponent's defense, and they take the initiative to break into the inner line, knowing that the opponent's short man who is short of himself may not be able to see himself, and someone is bound to come up to help defend him.
Just when the two of them wrapped up "Xiaobai", "Xiaobai" naturally passed to "Da Hei", and the two of them, who were not far away, turned to defend "Da Hei", Da Hei wanted to shoot but was stopped by "Xiaobai", and had to pass back to "Xiaobai", at this time, "Xiaobai" was undefended, and shot with peace of mind to get the ninth point.
Wait until the other party counterattacks successfully, Jiuping. The last ball, "Xiaobai" concocted the same method as "big black" to contain the other two, the person who had been defending the high school students who had been unmoved immediately pounced on the "Xiaobai", "Xiaobai" immediately turned to the high school students, although the distance was far away, but still did not disgrace the mission to put the last ball, "Xiaobai" showed a knowing smile, stepped forward and high-fived the high school students to celebrate. In the end, the ending was a little unexpected, and it was the "ragtag army" that won.
Just as the "college students" were about to leave in some frustration, someone in the crowd shouted: "Gao Hang! Liu Fengyu! Yao Yin! It turned out that it was the "college student" team. Li Xin was familiar with it, and he smelled Chi Shengwei, but he had heard these three names.
"I seem to have heard of it, but where did I hear it?"
"Oh, by the way, I remember, I don't remember a college basketball team that came to our school for training, and the names of these three people are in the list of players of East China University of Technology, who won the fourth place in the Shanghai University Basketball League, mentioned on the honor roll on the blackboard!"
"But the three of them didn't come to that training, I heard that they were selected for the Shanghai University selection team to participate in some invitational tournament."
"Those who can be selected for the university selection team can be said to be star players in the Shanghai University industry, which is not easy!" Xia Jun said.
"But today we lost to a ragtag army! Smear the basketball world of Shanghai University! Zhuo Yifan seemed a little unacceptable to such a result.
"Who says they're ragtags?" I don't know when the mysterious man appeared mysteriously again yesterday, and Li Xin and the other four actually forgot the primary purpose of coming here because they were paying attention to the game.
"I brought them all!"
"What?" All four of them were surprised.
With that, the man went to the court to greet the "miscellaneous army" who was still practicing, and beckoned the four of them to come to the venue.
"Okay, let's get down to business, I said good today to prove my strength. It's almost noon, and the venue is quieter, if you're hungry, there's some KFC here, and you can eat it quickly. After eating, we will play a game with you. ”
While talking, he pulled over the "Xiaobai" just now and introduced it to the four of them: "This is Jay. Valentham. ”
"And this is Andrew. White. The man pointed to the "big black" and introduced.
Finally, there is the high school student who did well. "He is Shan Wenwei, a sophomore at Guangming High School, and the main striker of the school team!"
"Bright High School? Is it the runner-up of the city? ”
"Yes, although he scored 23 points in the final, he still lost to Nanyang High School."
"What the hell is it! It doesn't seem to be broadcast on TV either. Tell us about it! I don't know when it started, the four of them had already started to eat KFC in their mouths, and they looked at the mysterious man with a greasy mouth, which made the mysterious man cry and laugh.
"In the finals, Nanyang is too strong, we really can't do anything about it......"
When Shan Wenwei finished speaking, the four of them actually finished eating.
The man cried and laughed, "Eat enough!" Okay, ready to get started! Three of the four of you come out? ”
"They're not easy to deal with, so let's go!" Chi Shengwei felt that his strength was not good, and he took the initiative to withdraw.
"Okay!"
“JAREN,LET’SGO!” The man greeted "Xiaobai" in English.
"Xiaobai" nodded and went on the field.
"What, is it just the two of you?"
"That's right! If you don't prove your strength, it's more than enough to deal with you. ”
"What do you say? Underestimate us! Zhuo Yifan was a little furious.
"Forget it, we prove our strength by performance!" Li Xin explained.
"I like this sentence, so let's get started!"
