"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.

Look at the brilliant results of the Jiaotong team a year ago, the first place in the Shanghai Division and the East China Division, the quarterfinals of the CUBA National Competition, and the complete victory in a series of visiting competitions with foreign university 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 is still disappointing for the coach, the current record of Jiao Tong University is one win and one loss, tied for second in the group, and only in the game the day after tomorrow to defeat the current first-ranked engineering and technical college team and beat the opponent in the same second place in terms of small points to have any hope of qualifying, and this 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. The College of Engineering and Technology is naturally a young bull, and Jiaotong University is now a piston in the twilight of its years, has the time come for a change of dynasty? Is it doomed to be eliminated? The core of the team, Zhang Quanyi, is only 20 years old, how can it be twilight?

All Quan Yi, the new captain, can do is comfort them, and how can Quan Yi not be angry? In fact, Quan Yi hates defeat more than any of them, and he has never had the word win in his 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 Quan Yi needs to cheer up as the captain is the morale of the team.

The coach doesn't blame the players 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!" Jiang Weifeng shouted!

"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.

Shangguan Yun said unconvinced: "No interest is no interest, two people are jealous for a woman, isn't it useless?" ”

Liu Yongtao also raised his voice: "What is jealous, 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're going to win a game, and you're all about it. ”

"Quan Yi can't win against them, but Quan Yi can at least win you!"

"What, if you want to fight, Quan Yi will 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? Quan Yi was also angry and scolded 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.

"Quan Yi, I couldn't watch your game today, what was the result?" Quan Yi was about to go to the bathroom to wash off his depression, but he was slapped heavily in 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.

Quan Yi 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!

"Beibei, you are really well-intentioned!" Quan Yi thought to himself.

"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.

"I have been coming to this school for three years unconsciously, and when I filled in the college entrance examination, I didn't go to the overseas Chinese who wanted to enter Quanyi and entered here because I heard that the basketball environment here is good, and I came to the two giants known as Jiaotong University, and because of the warm invitation of Coach Zhao Wenyin, it is to play basketball better. I just got here, and now ......" thinking about Quan Yi's mood couldn't help but dim again.

Laugh at! - Snort! ――

There seem to be very few people in the bathroom today, and it seems to be much quieter, Quan Yi unconsciously sorted out his thoughts while taking a bath:

"You are Zhang Quanyi! One of the three giants of Jiaotong University! Sign me for it! "It's really deserving to think about it, I'm really nothing, I'm really flattered by the team's current results.

In last year's national one-eighth finals, facing the third place of the previous year, Zhejiang University. Zhou Junyi scored 31 points, while Zheng Pengfei had 17 rebounds in addition to 26 points, and Quan Yi had 12 assists in that game despite only scoring 14 points. After eliminating Zhejiang University, that game made Quan Yi famous. The next day, the sports section of a well-known local newspaper prominently wrote the headline "The three giants of Jiaotong University are all powerful, and Zhejiang University will only meet again next year". Since then, it has been passed on to ten, ten to hundred, and has become a well-known secret throughout the country, although Quan Yi has tried every possible way to shirk, but others still call Quan Yi and Zhou and Zheng the "three giants of Jiaotong University".

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 Quan Yi, the only remaining "giant". In order to be worthy of this title, Quan Yi has worked hard, after the regular training every day, he will practice 200 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, all of which are trying to do their best.

Even so, Quan Yi is still powerless, every time Quan Yi can score more than 20 points per game and can assist in double digits, but to no avail, the team's decline is inevitable, and Quan Yi is a little alone. 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, Quan Yi felt so tricky for the first time, in the past, he was more than 20 points behind at halftime, as long as he saw the firm expressions of the players, Quan Yi would also be encouraged, and he was still able to chase point by point in the second half, and never thought of giving up, even if he failed by a few points in the end, everyone would still feel that there was something to gain. And now these things are gone, as if when the game is down by more points, the rest of the time is garbage time, just waiting for the referee to blow the final whistle, he really doesn't know how to boost the morale of the players.

Laugh at! - Tssss

The sound of the water breaking in the bathroom pulled Quan Yi back from fantasy to reality, and Quan Yi hastily packed up his things and left the bathroom.

After the evening self-study, Quan Yi wandered aimlessly on the playground of the campus alone, passing by the hidden area on the edge, and the intimate voices of couples could be heard. This has long been a matter of course, but there is a conversation between a couple that has caught Quan Yi's attention:

"Do you know He Jinwen?" The girl asked her boyfriend.

"Who is He Jinwen? If you don't know it, could it be that it's something you've taken a new look at? The boy replied.

"What! You give me death! 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, when the basketball team was very beautiful last year, Quan Yi often went to the basketball hall to watch their games or training, 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" Speaking of this, the girl sighed, and then continued: "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?" The boy asked.

"Later! He Jinwen was imprisoned, and he was left at the scene, and the results were out as soon as the DNA was compared. He was sentenced to 7 years, but he was commuted to 5 years after he went in. ”

"How could it be, why was the sentence immediately commuted?"

"Of course not, I heard that his father and uncle have the ability to make him behave better in prison, and by the way, he gave some benefits to the person in charge."

Hearing this, Quan Yi 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 against the basketball player and Ruan Xinqi who flattened him that time.

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