Chapter 6: The First Rain
In the second round of the Freshman Cup, Zhang Jun scored a hat-trick again, and the history department defeated the opponent 7:1. For a while, Zhang Jun and the Department of History became a legend that people talked about. As long as there is a game of the history department, the stadium is full of spectators, and everyone will expect Zhang Jun to score another hat trick, and the history department will win again. U University is a science college with a rigorous academic style, but this year's freshman cup has put a crazy color on U University.
Zhang Jun's limelight overshadowed the rest of 701, because he was an arrow figure, scored the most goals, and was not ugly.
Zhang Jun came in as a special football student, and he was still a little inferior when he first came in. But now, the success on the court has given Zhang Jun confidence, and he is enjoying everything he has so far.
Sophie was a little worried, she always felt that it was not good to go on like this. Whenever she saw Zhang Jun's vibrant face, she was embarrassed to say the worries in her heart, after all, there was no real evidence, and it was very hurtful to think so. And Sophie knows Zhang Jun's surname, he has just entered such a prestigious university, and he really needs some encouragement to build up his self-confidence. Therefore, when Zhang Jun was surrounded by many enthusiastic female fans after the game, Sophie did not go up to interfere, she just watched quietly from the sidelines.
Yang Pan is also popular, but most of them are male fans. Sophie will feel a little strange at this time, in fact, Yang Pan is better than Zhang Jun in many places, why is he not as good as Zhang Jun as a woman? Think about yourself, I have been with Zhang Jun and Yang Pan for three years, and I have always been good friends with Yang Pan, and I will never have the slightest idea of offside. Yang Pan must be very depressed in his heart, right? It's so big, but I don't even have a girlfriend......
Although the large number of female fans made Zhang Jun dizzy, there was always only one person who walked closely. Lin Wei seemed to think that she had established a good foundation at the banquet that day, and always found several reasons to approach Zhang Jun in the class, for example, to open a class committee, she also had to find Zhang Jun when he was alone, chat with him for a long time, and then ask Zhang Jun to inform Yang Pan to go to a certain place for a meeting at a certain time and in a serious tone.
Zhang Jun is an idiot-like existence in terms of the relationship between men and women, and Lin Wei's methods of "saving the country by curves" are completely meaningless to him. He just thought that this beautiful girl who always asked him about football was just interested in football, so he tried his best to satisfy her with an attitude that he didn't want to disappoint the beautiful woman, and besides, it was not a bad thing to talk to a beautiful, generous, and beautiful girl. As everyone knows, the drunkard's intention is not to drink.
Sophie has recently joined the pottery club of U University, and as the deputy class leader, she has even less time, she and Zhang Jun can't be together every day like in high school, and now the two meet once every two days at most, and talk on the phone at night. However, the call asks for money, and neither of them is the child of a wealthy family, and there is no budget for telephone romance in the monthly living expenses.
"Li Shuai! Don't run, you kid! A strong man with a height of about 1.9 meters grabbed Li Shuai, who was "passing by". "Where are you going to run when you have training?"
Li Shuai, who was discovered, smiled all over his face: "Hehe! Captain, I've taken a leave of absence from the coach. ”
"Hey, hey! Leave for four days in a row......" The captain's expression changed, and he put his face in front of Li Shuai, "Explain honestly!" Did you kid fall in love with an innocent little girl again? ”
"Hey, hey! Captain, everyone is a man, so there are some things that don't need to be explained, right? ”
The captain let go of his hand: "Go early and return early." Let me tell you, in half a month, the preliminary round of CUBA will begin, you kid will have to keep me in shape! The captain looked at the freshmen who were training on the side, "Our team will be up to you this year." ”
"Rest assured, rest assured!" Li Shuai snorted and turned around and ran.
"This kid, there is a different surname and no one has a surname......" The captain shook his head, "I just hope it doesn't affect his injuries too much......"
The teachers of the pottery club are instructing the students to make pottery, and the students are very interested in this "mud-kneading" thing, and they still enjoy it despite the dirty wiping of their hands.
"Senior Li Shuai!" A little girl sitting at the door whispered to Li Shuai who had just come in with some joy and greeted her.
Li Shuai, who had just entered the door, was taken aback, he looked down at this girl with two braids, black-framed glasses, and freckles on her face, thinking that there are no beautiful women, and you can't spoil people like this! It's supposed to be studied, but I'm in college, and I don't know the important surname of dressing up? But he still smiled politely at the other party: "Hello! ”
The little girl almost stood up with joy. No wonder she was so excited, Li Shuai really didn't insult the word "handsome" in his name, he was tall, his figure was naturally speechless, his skin was fair, and he couldn't see the shadow of an athlete at all. Coupled with a handsome face, a stubborn head, very spiritual, always polite to people (only long and beautiful female surnames), and the absolute main force of the school basketball team, it is difficult to be a star.
He himself is also in line with the principle of thinking about the majority of single female students in U University, one girlfriend a semester, and tries to make infinite care for female students in his limited college career.
Li Shuai was at the door, and at a glance he saw the back of the Qianli who was busy sitting in the middle, he walked over lightly and sat next to her naturally.
Sophie was concentrating on kneading the mud, she was not interested in the history of pottery told by the teacher, mainly as a girl, her family education was strict, and she couldn't play with the mud as much as a boy, so she decided to have a good time in the pottery club in the university. So she's playing exactly as she wants.
"Wow! What are you? A voice sounded on the side, and Sophie looked back to see that it was Li Shuai.
"A little pig!" Sophie holds up her work.
"But how do you look like it...... Four is not like ah! ”
"Hee-hee!" Sophie stuck out her tongue, "If you can't read it, it's a work of art!" ”
“…… Sure enough, it's a 'work of art'......" Li Shuai smacked his lips, "Tomorrow I will take the school's modern art center to have a solo exhibition of Sophie!" ”
"Huh! Then you don't need to! By the way, don't you have to train? I see you come here a lot, do you like to play with mud too? ”
"Play...... Playing with mud? The teacher of the pottery club will cry when he hears it...... Well, I'm a substitute anyway, so no matter how much I train, I won't have a chance to play, right? Li Shuai shrugged.
Sophie frowned, "You can't say that, as long as you train hard, the substitute will also become the main ......" Sophie suddenly remembered Zhang Jun, sometimes he is easily discouraged, but sometimes, as long as he says a word, he can be alive, he is really a little childish, a child who will never grow up!
Sophie began to pinch the mud again, and she wanted to pinch out a Zhang Junlai. At this time, she seemed to have forgotten all the Li Shuai around her, and just shaped Zhang Jun in her heart wholeheartedly.
Li Shuai watched Sophie finish talking halfway, and suddenly fell into silence, and then played with mud alone! Li Shuai felt that for the first time, he couldn't clearly grasp a girl's thoughts, Sophie always seemed to be covered with a veil of mystery in his eyes, but the more mysterious it was, the more interested he Li Shuai became.
Who doesn't want a beautiful woman? Not to mention a beautiful woman with a temperament. Li Shuai decided that he must chase Sophie, although he knew that she had a boyfriend, but he didn't care, he couldn't chase after him if he had a boyfriend? What kind of bullshit is this? Besides, the guy seems to be very popular with the other girls right now, which is a good opportunity.
Sophie is doing her own creation wholeheartedly, and she will not know Li Shuai's thoughts at all, in her opinion, Li Shuai is the first stranger who helped her in the pig hole after she entered the campus, people are very warm and cheerful, in this strange environment, it is not a bad thing to know one more friend.
Friends, just ordinary friends.
Girlfriend, future girlfriend.
Two people, I can't tell......
When someone saw the preview of tomorrow afternoon's Freshman Cup on the billboard, another round of excitement began to spread on the campus, and all the fans were looking forward to another passionate performance by the history department.
Zhang Jun also became excited. Every Wednesday afternoon, it's more accurate than the big aunt. He is looking forward to receiving the cheers of the audience and the popularity of the people again.
However, on Tuesday afternoon, the sky began to gradually become cloudy, and the wind was blowing, and Zhang Jun looked at the day and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Here's what the weather forecast says:
Light to moderate rain tonight and tomorrow, northeasterly wind level 3, minimum temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, maximum temperature ......
Hefei is located between the Huai River and the Yangtze River, the climate is humid and rainy, every spring and autumn, when the rainy season comes, it is not easy to stop. By that time, everything from heaven to earth will be [***], gray, and depressingly tight.
The rain began to fall in the second half of the night and continued until the morning, and by noon it was getting heavier and heavier.
Zhang Jun stood on the side of the court with an umbrella, looked at the court that had become a mud pond, and sighed in his heart, this autumn will definitely not be able to play today, he reluctantly kicked up a splash and turned to leave.
Sophie was in the dormitory looking at the rain outside the window in a daze, they had no classes on Wednesday afternoons of a single week, this week was a single week, and they were going to watch Zhang Jun's game in the afternoon, but now they are all in vain. How do you arrange a long afternoon with nothing to do?
She picked up the phone and dialed Zhang Jun's dormitory, and it was Zhu Hui who answered the phone.
"Huh? Sophie, hehe! Are you looking for Zhang Jun? He went out and went to play PS with other people, when will he come back? I don't know about this, there is no ball to play in the afternoon, he is very depressed, he must vent enough on the game before coming back! ”
Sophie was disappointed and just put down the phone when the bell rang, and she picked it up: "Hey, who are you looking for?" ”
"I'm looking for Sophie, is she there?" It was Li Shuai's voice.
"I am, Li Shuai?"
"It's me, hehe! There's our game this afternoon, and I want to see it from you. ”
"Basketball? But I don't understand......"
"It doesn't matter! I'm going to play today! Didn't you say that if you train hard, you will reap the rewards? I did, so I wanted you to come and see it! ”
Sophie hesitated: "This day ......"
"Rain? No problem, we played in the indoor basketball arena in the South End and the weather didn't affect us at all! ”
"But ......"
"Come on, come on!" Li Shuai was already begging, "I can play because of your blessing, why don't you come?" ”
Sophie thought about Li Shuai after all, he helped a lot when he first entered the campus, and he owed others a favor. She thinks about Zhang Jun again, she doesn't know where to have fun now!
Anyway, the afternoon is boring, Zhang Jun is not there, Li Shuai is his friend, and he is really embarrassed to refuse him......
"Okay, what time is it, where are you in the car?"
Because of the rain, the billboard also looked deserted, and a poster was wet from the rain as soon as it was pasted.
Freshman Cup Soccer Match!
Due to weather conditions, the two games originally scheduled for this afternoon have been postponed until further notice!
The Sports Department of the Student Union said on October 17, 2001
This match is a CUBA Anhui regional selection tournament, which is played by U University at home against H University. After several years of successful operation, CUBA has formed a fixed fan base and a huge brand effect among college students.
It was the first time Sophie had watched a basketball game in such a place, and she seemed a little curious and looked around. Li Shuai was doing warm-up exercises right under her nose, it seemed that he was very popular with the fans, Sophie was a little strange, why did a substitute player win more applause than the main team when he came out to warm up? Is it just because he's more handsome?
The basketball hall was full of gongs and drums, cheers continued, and the game was about to begin.
Li Shuai was really a substitute, he put on his coat and sat back on the bench.
The hall was quiet, the players of both sides stood around the center circle, the two center forwards stood in the circle, the referee sandwiched between the two, threw the ball high, and the game began.
In the first half of the first quarter, U University took advantage of the home advantage, made a fast attack, scored again and again, and actually played a 10:0 **. But after H yelled a timeout, the scene immediately changed, H used his advantage on the inside to defend the basket, strengthened the competition for rebounds in the front court, and gradually regained the disadvantage, and by the end of the first quarter, he actually led U University by 5 points!
At the beginning of the second quarter, U University still did not regain the initiative on the court, but made more mistakes, and the young players exposed the shortcomings of psychological urgency, and H University took the opportunity to pull the difference away, 47:32, leading by 15 points! At this time, you shouted a pause, and then Li Shuai began to get up and take off his coat, and there was a cheer outside the court.
Li Shuai's play made a sudden change in the situation on the field, as a defender, his passing and ball control are first-class, often able to make good balls for his teammates, what makes the opponent even more headache is that he is not soft at critical moments and can score by himself.
Now as soon as he came on the field, he even rushed to grab and won ten points himself, without letting the opponent take a point. In the cheers of the fans, U was like a rainbow, taking advantage of the situation to pursue, recovering the lost ground in one go, not to mention, and leading the opponent by 20 points near the end of the game!
Sophie looked at Li Shuai running the field from the stands, sweat made his jersey stick to his body, beads of sweat hung on his hair and cheeks, and he swayed everywhere with his every movement.
She suddenly remembered Zhang Jun, don't look at Zhang Jun usually has no characteristics at all, but once he stepped on the football field, he immediately changed his appearance, his eyes were sharp, his movements were agile, and his spirit was focused...... He focuses on the way he looks when he does something, and it's always so charming.
The noise in the gymnasium continued to pound Sophie's eardrums, and U University took the lead by an absolute margin, but Sophie's attention was completely off the basketball game, which was somewhat similar to the environment that brought her back to the past, seven months ago in Chengdu, their last winter vacation of high school. The last time the five of them played together as teammates.
Although they were the defending champions, they were also treated with the warmest "hospitality" and the most stubborn resistance. All opponents still remember how Shuguang defeated the last runner-up Guangming Middle School 4:0 when he first participated in the national competition, and since then he has become famous, and a year later, Guangming has been replaced by Shuguang, so other schools have begun to hope that they can become last year's Shuguang, and the best way is to pull the current Shuguang into the water.
Every game is a real hand-to-hand fight, and every game has to exhaust every ounce of their strength. In the second half of the finals, Ren Yudi could only play half a game, and in the semifinals, he had to sit on the bench for the whole game.
In the semi-finals, Sophie was the most impressed, because it was the toughest match. Ren Yudi was absent, Kaka was suspended, most of the players were not physically fit, Wang Ning even had a physical overdraft, and some players were constantly injured slightly, and they were facing the host Chengdu Western Middle School, which was very strong. They have had an extra day of rest than Dawn, are fit and are playing on their doorstep and will surely have the support of the fans. Almost everyone is pessimistic about the fate of Dawn and believes that the defending champion will only compete for the bronze medal.
But just when the game went as most people guessed before the game, Yang Pan was blocked by the other two and did nothing, Zhang Jun broke out.
Yang Pan's reluctant pass touched the leg of the opposing defender and bounced to the bottom line, such a ball, even the opponent's goalkeeper gave up, but Zhang Jun relied on amazing explosiveness and acceleration, he caught up with the ball in front of the bottom line, and with an unconventional shovel, the ball hit the goalkeeper's leg and bounced into the goal! Dawn leads 1:0!
Although the opponent equalized fifteen minutes later, no one could stop Zhang Jun anymore, and the No. 11, who had scored only five goals in the previous game and ranked fourth in the scorer list, and was called the top scorer of the previous tournament, was resurrected.
Sure enough, next, taking advantage of the opponent's full strength to press the attack, Zhang Jun ran 60 meters with the ball in the midfield, connected the opponent's three defenders, and finally deceived the goalkeeper and hit the ball into the empty goal, staging the best goal of this tournament. Seeing such a goal, the whole adult body was silent, and even Liang Ke couldn't believe his eyes, because you must know that Zhang Jun is a center forward, and it is not common for him to score a long-distance run like this.
Yang Pan also seems to have been liberated by Zhang Jun, who frequently broke through on the right side and created killing opportunities. His cross, so that the one-meter-eighty-three Zhang Jun in the big penalty area, a strong and powerful long-distance header, knocked on the door of Western Middle School for the third time, hat trick!
Just when everyone thought that Zhang Jun, who had scored a hat-trick, would restrain a little, he turned and volleyed in the penalty area again, completely shattering the hosts' confidence and fighting spirit to equalize. The whole process from stopping the ball to turning and volleying in one go was only 0.4 seconds, and the opposing defender and goalkeeper did not react at all, standing stupidly and watching Zhang Jun complete his crazy performance.
"Before this competition, countless people said that they wanted to challenge Zhang Jun, but after this battle, looking at the national high school teams, no one can compete with Zhang Jun anymore. He was like an ordinary iron sword, which usually looked unnoticeable, but once he swung it, he suddenly changed his appearance, without a sharp edge, but with a strong momentum, and there was no blood in it, and the enemy was already in a different place. ”
This is not what Sophie said, but Chen Huafeng's description of Zhang Jun in a special feature after the game, this kid has seen too much martial arts. In Sophie's eyes, Zhang Jun is still the same Zhang Jun, he usually likes to giggle, and he is passionate on the field, and the two seemingly contradictory surnames are wonderfully pinched together on him, and for Sophie, whether it is the silly Zhang Jun or the handsome Zhang Jun, she loves it, because no matter what, Zhang Jun is still Zhang Jun, and Sophie is still Sophie.
When the final whistle sounded for the finals, Dawning defeated the opponent 3:0 and defended the national championship!
Watching the team members wear gold medals on the podium and jump and jump with trophies in hand, Sophie couldn't hold back her tears. She knew that although all of them were smiling in their senior high school members, they were probably all smiling bitterly in their hearts, right? After fighting side by side for three years, they have long been brothers and sisters, and now their last co-performance has finally come to an end, everyone has to go their separate ways, and from now on, I really don't know when we will see each other again.
Ren Yu said goodbye to the field, Anke went to Germany, Kaka went back to Brazil, she went to school with Zhang Jun and Yang Pan in Hefei, I really missed the stadium of the dawn, as soon as it was evening, it was dusty, in the light of the sunset, the people on the field were like silhouettes and could not distinguish their faces, only their movements and laughter were exceptionally clear.
Coach Liang Ke's "home" doesn't even have a phone, and I don't know what happened to him, he is thirty years old, he doesn't even have a girlfriend, and his family is in chaos......
There are also those junior team members, in Sophie's impression, the team members of Dawn always seem to have one expression: the sun is shining with laughter.
The basketball game is over, watching the players of the basketball team high-five each other on the court, Sophie really has the feeling of going back in time, high school life is simple and beautiful, but unfortunately it is gone......
On the way back, Li Shuai won the game, was in a good mood, and behaved in front of Sophie again, and he thought that Sophie should also have a better relationship with him. But Sophie had a depressed look on her face, always staring at the fleeting scenery outside the car window, without saying a word.
Li Shuai can't figure it out, he really doesn't understand Sophie, a girl.
The car stopped at the school's bus stop, and Li Shuai proposed to send Sophie back to the dormitory, "by the way anyway". Sophie didn't speak, he took her as a tacit yes.
Zhang Jun came back after playing ps, he remembered that Sophie didn't know what she was doing all afternoon, he was playful for a while, he didn't go to her, now it's time to have dinner, he should be with her.
When the group walked to the front of the girls' dormitory building, Zhang Jun turned to the right, and Lele called out to him strangely: "Wrong, our dormitory building is the second building in front, this is the women's dormitory ......"
"People know it's a women's dormitory!" Yang Pan interrupted Lele's words, "People are going this way, don't follow the foolishness!" Isn't that 'family'? As he spoke, he followed the turn.
But Zhang Jun pushed him back, "Don't follow the foolishness!" What to do, what to do! ”
Yang Pan rolled his eyes and said to the other two, "Forget it, let's eat!" ”
When they turned around the dormitory building, Zhang Juncai walked towards the women's dormitory, but he had just taken a few steps before he stopped, his eyes looking directly at the door of the women's dormitory.
Sophie and Li Shuai waved their hands and turned to enter the building, while Li Shuai turned around and walked in the direction of Zhang Jun. When he caught a glimpse of Zhang Jun standing on the side of the road, his heart moved, he jumped up excitedly, clenched his hands into fists, smiled, and ran away from Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun stood alone, the sky gradually darkened, and the lights in the building were reflected in the stagnant water beach on the ground. When the wind blew, they all shattered. The rain stopped in the afternoon, but the wind blew, and it was so strong that it ruffled hair and thoughts.
