Section 2: Not Fighting, Not Knowing (Revision)
"Get out of the way, I'll guard him!"
The other four people played more of a role of passing, and the three-on-three game actually became a confrontation between two people, although they were at a disadvantage in stature, Li Xin had the upper hand in the game. No matter how hard the arrogant boy tried to defend Li Xin, in most cases, it was Li Xin who skillfully avoided his encirclement and interception again and again. When it came time for the arrogant boy to attack, due to his poor shooting skills, Li Xin could stop his attack with little effort as long as he prevented him from entering the free throw area. After dozens of rounds of back and forth, the original backward situation was completely reversed.
Gradually, except for Li Xin, who came on the field later, the rest of the five people on the court all seemed out of breath, especially the four rookies who finally lost their physical strength and offered to take a break. Although the beads of sweat on his forehead kept dripping down, in order to vent his anger, the arrogant boy still insisted on being on the field, so that the game really became a confrontation between the two.
"Now it's a real confrontation between the two of us, don't think you still have so good luck, I've seen through all your tricks, I already know how to guard against you. I'll be in charge of the game! "The arrogant boy spoke again.
In the beginning, the game was still as one-sided as before. But as Li Xin's physical strength also began to decline, coupled with the arrogant boy's amazing adaptability, the game began to look good, and Li Xin still had a certain upper hand, but the advantage was not so obvious.
Soon, the venue was crowded with people watching the two's match. Some people began to score for the two, constantly cheering for the two, and the atmosphere on the field reached a climax.
The sky gradually darkened, because the students who lived on campus had reached dinner time, and those who did not live on campus also went home because it was late, and the people on the court gradually became scarce, until the four rookies who had been accompanying the two finally left. But the two were still fiercely competing on the field, and the two finally had a physical exhaustion, and finally the arrogant boy offered to give up the game.
"I can't move, I really can't move!"
"Although...... Not too ...... Willingly, but I still admit defeat! To you and me...... Be completely convinced. This is me on the basketball court...... It's the first time I've said such a thing to someone like this! Whew! The arrogant boy gasped.
"You too...... Not bad! Your defense is so good, force me...... had to make a trick. Li Xin was too tired to do it.
"It seems that the cafeteria has also closed, and dinner probably hasn't been settled, so I have to go home and make instant noodles." Li Xin hadn't spoken to someone like this for a long time.
"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner!"
"This ......"
"Let's go! If you don't do anything badly, it will be the price of losing. ”
"My name is Zhuo Yifan, from the first (4th) class of high school." The arrogant boy stretched out his thumb and poked himself in the chest a few times, and reported himself to the door.
"My name is Li Xin, Class 1 of high school, are you in the first grade? I can't see it! ”
"You are, I can't believe you're also a first-year, it's so powerful, it's the first time I've been defeated by an opponent who is shorter than me." The two came to a small restaurant with a good style and ordered a lot of dishes in each other's greetings, and drank a few bottles of beer despite being just high school students. Don't see the kid surnamed Zhuo crazy, the amount of alcohol is only like this, after a while, he is already unconscious, Li Xin is no exception, he was drunk, and finally with the only remaining consciousness Zhuo called a taxi so that the two of them would not be "violent corpses on the street".
If you don't fight and don't know each other, the opponents on the field have become friends off the field, and even become close friends.
Although the personality is very different, Li Xin is also happy to be able to meet such a basketball confidant. Although I am still lonely at home, I finally say goodbye to loneliness on the basketball court. Since then, the two have either faced off on the school's basketball court after school almost every day after school, or have cooperated to play three-on-three games with others. After having a partner with the same ambition and strength, the strength of both of them has improved rapidly, and the seniors of the sophomore and senior high school who can also fight with one have been defeated, and only a few teams of powerful senior combinations can compete with one of them, because there is a lack of fixed candidates in one of the three positions, so Li Zhuo's combination is like a stool with missing feet, and is always at a disadvantage in the confrontation with these masters, although both believe that they are not under these seniors in terms of personal strength, But suffering from the inadequacy of the team, I can't fully enjoy the competition with the masters. So the two began to ponder the search for a third three-on-three candidate.
Just like the relationship between beach volleyball and indoor volleyball, three-on-three bullfighting, as an extension of five-a-side basketball, is favored by basketball lovers as the main component of street basketball because of the small number of team members, small area (only half court is enough), confrontation, and strong viewability. It can be said that almost everywhere there is a basketball hoop, you can see people playing three-on-three games, including high schools. Three-on-three due to the fast offensive and defensive speed, high confrontation intensity, so no matter in terms of physical strength, the comprehensiveness of the player's skills, the diversity of the player's offensive routines have higher requirements, if you encounter a high-level three-on-three game, it can be said that the watchability is no less than watching a regular basketball game of the same level. In view of this, many high school basketball enthusiasts, including Li Xin and Zhuo Yifan, are keen on three-on-three games.
In order to find a candidate for the third competent, Li Zhuo has tried his best, but there are less than 2,000 people in middle school and high school and junior high school, and there are about three or four hundred people who like to play basketball, and there are only a handful of people who can really get on the stage, and most of these masters have been playing together for a long time, and they generally don't take it apart casually to play with others.
This makes it even more difficult for the two to find it. According to the wishes of the two, the third person should be the same as Li Xin Zhuo Yifan, because Zhuo is good at the inside, and Li Xin is good at organizing and breaking through, so the ideal situation The third person is a pitcher, who can be inside and out. If such a person can be found, then the three-on-three basketball world that dominates this school is just around the corner.
But the reality is that I searched for two weeks and found nothing. The two of them almost gave up hope.
Li Xin's home is about 15 minutes away from the school if you walk, there are not many people in his area who study Siyuan Middle School, Li Xin arrived at the school late, so there are fewer alumni who can meet on the road, and just after the midterm exams, I always saw a young man who looked like a student passing by the window when Li Xin was brushing his teeth at the window, in addition to the schoolbag on his body, he also carried a bag in his hand, which is likely to be a basketball according to the shape. Judging by their appearance, teenagers are about 15 to 17 years old, which is the age of high school.
"I've never seen this guy before, maybe he's playing basketball pretty well!" The idea began with the brushing of her teeth on the third morning after Li Xin discovered the teenager and lasted for two weeks. Until one day, he decided to check it out for himself.
One day, Li Xin got up early in the morning unusually. Waiting for the teenager at the door early, and finally the teenager passed in front of Li Xin's eyes, but the introverted problem came out again, so he followed him to the school, and he didn't say a word to the teenager, but at least one thing was verified, the teenager was indeed a student of Siyuan Middle School, and it was next door to Li Xin's class - the first (2) class of high school, probably a transfer student after the high school entrance examination!
"Tell Yifan about this! Ask that teenager to come out and play a game today! The idea of wanting to meet that young man's skills during class has always haunted Li Xin's heart.
As soon as the first class ended, Li Xin came to the fourth class to meet Zhuo Yifan.
"What do you think?" After explaining the ins and outs of the matter in this way, Li Xin asked Qi Zhuo's opinion.
"That's good! What's his name? I'll go find him. ”
"Name! I haven't had time to ask? ”
"What? Forget it, is this little thing difficult for me Zhuo Daxia! With that, Bi Zhuo disappeared like a wind.
"Zhuo Daxia!?" Li Xin showed a wry smile. Why are there always some people in this world who are so arrogant, wasn't he the one who lost to his own men two months ago? For Li Xin, sometimes Zhuo Yifan's character is really unimaginable.
Since I met Zhuo, Li Xin's habit of eating alone in the canteen has changed a little, and she often eats with Zhuo Yifan. The fourth class is the third classroom after the first class, and the difference between Li Xin and others rushing out of the door during lunch every day is that Li Xin usually goes out of the door relatively late, but Zhuo is the first to run out of the door at lunch time every day in the fourth class, so generally speaking, when Li Xin goes out of the door, Zhuo Yifan also happens to arrive.
And this time, in addition to Zhuo, there was also the young man next to him. Seeing this scene was really a bit unexpected for Li Xin, and sometimes I had to admire Zhuo's efficiency, although he usually seemed so reckless, but if he really promised to do something, he could complete it as quickly as possible. Maybe this is also due to her character, it seems that Li Xin is really far inferior to Zhuo.
The young man still looks a little restrained, and it seems that his personality should be more similar to Li Xin.
"His name is Xia Jun, and he transferred to another school a few days ago." Zhuo had already introduced the other party first.
"Uh, hello! My name is Li Xin! Li Xin stretched out her hand to shake hands with the other party.
"You're the one in the morning?"
"Ahh Li Xin hummed softly embarrassedly.
"So we're friends, and today I invited you to lunch to celebrate your acquaintance." Zhuo Dao.
After school, the three of them went to the playground together.
Coincidentally, there was a pair of senior groups that Li Zhuo knew practicing there.
"It's Li Tian who let them go, let's challenge them today!"
The three of them came to the venue where the senior team was.
"Oh, it's Xiao Li and Xiao Zhuo! There's also a newcomer, just in time, we're short of people. The man named Li Tianfang seemed very enthusiastic.
Usually, an unfamiliar opponent will not be asked for his name until there is a match. Because in a game like this, it is impossible for the opponent to remember everyone's name, and only after the game, when the opponent feels that the opponent is indeed worthy of respect and praise, the other party will ask for the name, which is an unwritten agreement in the three-on-three basketball world in high school.
And this time, for Li Tianfang and others, will they ask Xia Jun's name in an hour or two?
