The essence of anaerobic exercise is that you can never last long, when Yan Yufeng ran to the school gate, he slowed down, a large amount of sweat poured out of his body rapidly, and the heartbeat of the wild running gradually calmed down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In a big gasp, Yan Yufeng saw a person not far away, looked at him in surprise, and looked at it, only to find that it was actually Sody Phillips, the coach of the second team.

Sodi walked over, his face was strange, and he looked behind Yan Yufeng again, before he said, "I saw you sprinting all the way over, is it someone chasing you behind?" ”

Yan Yufeng hurriedly denied it, and explained indiscriminately: "Suddenly I got up, and I ran." ”

Sodi accepted this statement, since Yan Yufeng agreed to be a teaching assistant, the two have also become acquainted, Sodi is not as gloomy and introverted as he seems, but with acquaintances, he will take the initiative to joke, but when he usually works, he will be straightforward and serious.

Sodi probably felt that it was a little bad for the two of them to stand at the entrance of the campus gate, so he beckoned to Yan Yufeng and led him to the open-air bench on the edge of a lawn on the right outside the gate and sat down.

"Tomorrow is the league." As soon as Sodi sat down, he said with emotion.

"Well, I just finished the teacher meeting." Yan Yufeng echoed.

"Out of the teacher's meeting? That's a good adjective, and I've used to say it's a mobilization meeting. Sodi said.

Yan Yufeng then remembered that the person sitting next to him was the head coach of the first team of Crushi High School last year, and suddenly felt that if he continued to talk about it, he was afraid that it would cause him bad memories.

Don't you know that Sodi took the initiative to ask: "You have also been in the first team for so long, come, tell me about the current situation in the team." ”

Yan Yufeng hesitated, he didn't know how to deal with this request, Sodi saw what he was thinking, and said, "What, do you think I'm going to make you a spy?" ”

"No, no, in fact, there is nothing to say, I am not familiar with most of the team, and I don't know how to tell you." Yan Yufeng hurriedly explained.

Seeing Sodi's deferential look, Yan Yufeng had to continue: "The team has recruited a group of very good players, with comprehensive skills, and their physical fitness and tactical literacy are much higher than ordinary people. The two coaches are also very good, and many of the tactics are obviously used in college. ”

Seeing that Sodi was still listening, and didn't mean to speak, Yan Yufeng had to continue: "I don't know the level of tomorrow's opponents in the league, but seeing everyone's confidence, I think it should be able to deal with it." As for the rest, I don't know. ”

Seeing that Yan Yufeng didn't say anything more, Sodi said: "You are still very wary, but this is right, the reason why I inquired about this is not malicious." Speaking of which, I'm still keeping an eye on the team, because that's where I used to work. Actually, I don't need to say it, I also know that the team looks very peaceful now, but there are a lot of troubles and problems that are covered up. I'm right. ”

"A little." Yan Yufeng said without hesitation.

"But why do I think you've been upset?" Sody asked.

"Is there one? Maybe it's because of my own injury. Yan Yufeng made an excuse.

Sodi couldn't ask any more, and said, "The feeling of staying in a team to train should be uncomfortable." ”

This time, Yan Yufeng didn't answer anymore, he smiled.

"Actually, I can understand your feelings, this is also what many people need to experience, look at your appearance, is this the first time in your life?"

Yan Yufeng saw Sodi looking at him, and his heart was crossed, so he admitted: "I don't know what others think, anyway, I don't like the current situation of the team, and I don't approve of the coach's approach." ”

Sodi hurriedly stopped Yan Yufeng from speaking, and said with a wry smile: "You either don't say it, or you will make a big revelation." Don't say that to the second one. Whether it's right or wrong, it's taboo for players to talk about coaches, and no one likes players like that, you know? ”

Yan Yufeng's face was indignant, but he was still quite moved in his heart, he said: "The confrontation between the main force and the substitute is very serious, the coach turns a blind eye, everyone seems to have their own position and small group, I don't like this atmosphere very much." Seriously, I want to quit. I think it's good that I'm really staying in the second team. ”

Sodi narrowed her eyes and asked, "Do you really think so?" ”

"Of course." Yan Yufeng replied immediately.

Sodi laughed, Yan Yufeng still didn't accept this smile, turned his face away, but heard him say: "It's useless if you think about it, I'm the first one who doesn't agree." ”

It was Yan Yufeng's turn to wonder: "Why?" ”

Sodi sighed, looked at the street lamps lit up on the street, and said, "The stadium is Vanity Fair, whether you like it or not, you are in it, you have to be at the mercy of it." ”

"There's really nothing wrong with what your coach does, the things you talk about, almost every team exists, it's just a matter of size. High school basketball, to put it bluntly, is about the opportunity to go to college, which is related to the future of a lifetime, how can it be humble? The existence of small groups is inevitable, and those with good strength and good relationships will hold together to put pressure on the coach and make the coach more inclined in the arrangement. At the same time, you have to put pressure on others and let the ball be shared, more. I have seen a lot of such practices and things in the teams I have led before. Sodi said.

Yan Yufeng listened silently, it was Marrod who said this before, and now he is also saying this as a former coach of the first team, and he finally understands that maybe there is a real difference between the United States and China in terms of ideology in this regard.

"And when I go to college, it's possible to get more possibilities, make money, live a better life, sports cars, mansions, and women because of NCAA. Do you think anyone will back down? Sodi saw Yan Yufeng's troubles, so he simply said it thoroughly.

He continued: "You just said that the main force now is recruited, why do they come here from other states, because this is New York, it is a big stage, which means more exposure is possible. What they have to do is to perform desperately, take up more playing time, play fame, and make a name for themselves. ”

Speaking of this, Soddy paused and asked, "I think you should have been ostracized a lot of unkindly after joining the team." ”

"Yes." Yan Yufeng said frankly.

"And yet no one has stood up for you, so you don't like the team even more?"

"That's true, but at first, Captain Beasley came out to help me."

Sodi laughed again, and he said: "David, his captain is actually quite good, and he has a little ability, but he is more selfish, he helps you, probably because he wants to pull you into the gang." ”

"It should be."

Sodi seemed to be reminiscing, he thought for a while before saying: "When David joined the team, he took the initiative to apply to be the captain, because the main team left the team at that time, and the rest were all rookies, and I was happy about it." When he became the captain, he did a good job, had strong social skills, and had a very strong small group around him. ”

"But people are not as good as heaven, and this year, the school board is determined to take a step further in basketball, hoping to win a trophy or something, hey......." Sodi let out a long sigh. I don't know if this long sigh is sighing about Beasley's current condition or lamenting what happened to him.

Yan Yufeng didn't know how to comfort him when he saw this, but fortunately, Sodi immediately regained his composure, he saw the worry in Yan Yufeng's eyes, and couldn't help but enlighten: "It's all over, in fact, I feel that this is also right now, my ability cannot achieve the goal of the school board, and it is a good result not to fire me, and I only now find out that coaching the second team is where I can play my ability, so it is not as others speculate." ”

Yan Yufeng admired it, he could feel that what Thorne said was true, so he said: "Jimmy, they are all very good, it won't be long before they can play." ”

Sodi also became excited when he heard this, and he said: "Especially Jimmy, this kid, is really very good, I am very optimistic about him." ”

Yan Yufeng was a little strange, he had heard Sodi say this more than once, but based on his own contact with Jimmy, he had not found a shocking potential talent.

Seeing Yan Yufeng's expression, Sodi said, "I know your doubts, okay, anyway, you will know about this sooner or later, so it's better for me to tell you." ”

"What?"

Sody was silent for a moment, as if to sort out his thoughts, and after a while said, "Jimmy's father abandoned him and his mother when he was born, and disappeared. Throughout his childhood, Jimmy lived a nomadic life in the city with his mother, and due to financial constraints, he had to change places almost every few months. ”

Sodi glanced at Yan Yufeng, who was extremely shocked, and said: "The saddest thing is that when he was just in the seventh grade, his mother suddenly said to him, I can't stand your appearance anymore, you better get out." ”

"What? How can it be? Yan Yufeng jumped up, and he shouted, "Jimmy, he'...... He's not ugly. ”

Thorne shook his head and explained, "I think his mother should have found that Jimmy was getting more and more like his father, getting along with each other day and night, and hatred transcended family affection. ”

"It can't be." Yan Yufeng felt his heart like a boulder pressing down, and he still couldn't believe it.

"But it's true. So, when Jimmy was twelve years old, he was an orphan. ”

"And how does he live?" Yan Yufeng eagerly interrupted Sodi's narration and asked.

"That's why I'm bullish on Jimmy, he has 10,000 reasons to fall, but he chooses a retrograde path to heaven."

"He did everything he could to survive, and many times, he begged his friends to stay with him, but more often than not, he had to sleep on the street. Jimmy once said in a conversation with me that he had slept in every part of the city, under the overpass, in the toilet, in the station, in the square, in the subway, in the staircase, in the church, everywhere you could imagine. ”

Yan Yufeng remembered the smile he showed when he trained Jimmy, whenever he successfully completed his predetermined goal, and now that he thinks about it, if there is really an angel's smile, it will be like this.

"Until I met him, when I knew about him, I had a strong urge to help him as much as I could, to be his boat to the other side of his ideals. His previous public school wasn't enough to help him, so I brought him to Crus. So sometimes, I think God is merciful. Sodi looked at Yan Yufeng, who was puzzled, and explained: "The arrival of Herzberg has made me lose my position as head coach, but it has brought Jimmy the possibility of a better future, and I am actually happy in my heart." ”

"You have to know that they come from famous clubs, they have a lot of connections, and even if they don't do anything, they get more attention than other teams. Jimmy is bound to be on the first team, and he is bound to be blessed by them. ”

"Jimmy is very serious in everything he does, he is very down-to-earth to complete every detail, he is not the kind of genius we see who can learn as soon as he learns, but he has patience and persistence that ordinary people do not have, and most importantly, his pure heart that is always upward. I believe he can succeed and he will. Sodi said firmly.

"So, you have to promise me to help him on this crucial path. Can you? Sodi looked at Yan Yufeng and asked cautiously with a hint of pleading.

Yan Yufeng tried his best to calm his emotions, and he asked slowly: "This is the real reason why you asked me to be an assistant coach in the second team." ”

Sodi showed a hint of calmness, and he said, "Yes, I don't want to hide anything, in fact, I've been looking for an opportunity to communicate with you about this matter. Do you know? I saw you when I was watching the AND1 League with Jimmy in Brooklyn. I wasn't interested in your presence at first, but as soon as you got on the pitch, your performance on the court won me over, and Jimmy adored you very much, but I knew better what you meant. ”

"Your ability to read the game, your shooting options and your shooting skills are by no match for any other player your age, and even when you face adult level confrontations, you're completely at ease. That's ball quotient. I know it's the most critical time for Jimmy to pick up the pace, he needs a guide, a leader on the pitch, and it may take countless games for him to grow, but I want to be quicker, and when I learned that you were also studying in Crus, I knew that it was a gift from God. ”

Yan Yufeng frowned, he was vaguely wrong, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while, he said: "Maybe you overestimate me, I don't feel that I am as powerful as you say." ”

Sodi shook her head: "You're much more than what I said. ”

Yan Yufeng had no choice but to say: "Okay, in fact, I don't need you to ask, I will try my best to help Jimmy, Jimmy and I are friends, this is what I should do." ”

Sody was relieved, and he thanked, "With you, Jimmy will grow faster." ”

Seeing the bus coming from a distance, Yan Yufeng suddenly remembered that he had also asked Wei Ning to practice today, so he stood up and said goodbye to Thorne: "Coach, I think I'm going home." ”

"Go ahead, I hope you can keep today's topic a secret."

"Well, I will." Yan Yufeng agreed, walked quickly to the opposite side of the road, and after a few steps, he turned around, looked at Sodi and asked, "Coach, do you have anything else?" ”

A blank expression appeared on Sodi's face, and he seemed to think about it seriously before he asked strangely, "No, do you still have any questions?" ”

"Well, I don't actually." After speaking, Yan Yufeng crossed the road and boarded the bus that had just stopped at the station.

Looking at the bus slowly leaving, Sodi suddenly relaxed and muttered to himself: "Except for the low EQ, other aspects are really terrifyingly high, and I can't imagine it in a few years." (To be continued.) )
