At this time, the white team is ahead by one point!
It was a tiebreaker with 15 seconds left and the white team took the lead, and the red team had one more chance to attack, and they had a chance to beat the white team, or they could lose it.
The coach of the red team called a timeout, and he could only smile helplessly at Li Changgeng's ultra-long-distance three-point just now, there was nothing to say, so he could throw it, it was simply against the sky.
"Okay, forget about that ball, cheer up, there's 15 seconds left and we have one more chance to attack." The RED coach said, "This last offense is still handed over to Nick, and the others block him and create opportunities." ”
"Yes." A few people nodded, there was no time to think too much, and it was imperative to fight the last attack.
On the white team's side, Griffin first praised Li Changgeng, and then made some arrangements for his players, in fact, it was just two words - defense!
"As long as you guard against this ball, the victory will be ours, come on boys!" Griffin exclaimed.
Everyone nodded and stepped onto the court.
The ball came to the frontcourt, Gatlin controlled the ball, signaled his teammates to start moving, and everyone on the red team immediately ran, and so did Nick, the four of them swam around the field like fish, and several others were blocking and dismantling for Nick so that he could catch the ball.
Ten seconds later, Nick finally received the ball.
This is a lore ball, so naturally it is impossible to make a hasty shot, so he stabilized it and saw that no one came to cover it, so he started to attack.
6 seconds, 5 seconds......
Nick turned the ball in disguise, shook off the defender, and then jumped up in an instant and threw the ball.
With a "bang", the basketball smashed on the basket and bounced up, and Maslow, the center of the white team, got the rebound, and the whistle sounded at the end of the game.
It's finally over!
As the final whistle blew, the timer turned to a string of zeros, and the number on the scoreboard was fixed at 87:86, with the white team narrowly beating the red team by one point.
The cheers rang out, and the white team, whether it was the players on the field or the substitutes, all cheered unpassionately.
Originally, everyone could no longer see hope and had lost confidence, but the arrival of Li Changgeng and the efforts of the last section made them see hope, returned to heaven from hell, and finally bathed in the holy light of heaven and won the lost championship.
There is no doubt that Li Changgeng was the biggest contributor to the victory for the white team, and he scored 25 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, and his performance was perverted and impressive.
"Haha, we won!"
"Finally won."
Xu Anya, Li Zheng, Maslow, Subaru and others pounced on Li Changgeng with an uproar, and surrounded Li Changgeng one by one.
The substitute players of the white team on the side of the court, both men and women, also rushed to the court in an instant, and together with everyone, completely submerged Li Changgeng.
"Hey, let me out, I'm going to be crushed to death!" Li Changgeng shouted in the crowd, and his heart was also full of joy.
This is not only a victory for him personally, but also for the entire white team, who defended the glory with sweat and hard work and won the championship!
Kobe, Griffin, Zhang Weiping, and others also laughed.
Reporter Garnett stepped forward with a cameraman, and Marco pointed the camera at the white team players and recorded the scene.
Jordan came to Kobe's side and said, "Griffin, I want to discuss with you about Lee. You know, he's a very good player and a talented lad and I'm interested in him, I wonder if I can get in touch with him? ”
"Oh?" Kobe Bryant was surprised, "Jordan, are you trying to pull Lee to your Los Angeles California high school?" I have to remind you that he is an Oriental, and if you want him to go to Los Angeles California High School, you must first get Lee's permission and convince your school. In addition, you have to settle the issue of student status. ”
"yes, I want him to come to our Los Angeles California High School and play for the varsity team, and I believe he's the player we've been looking for." Jordan said solemnly, "Of course, I also know that he still needs to go through a lot of formalities to come to Los Angeles California High School, and there are a series of problems that need to be solved. However, I've been impressed by his skills and I want to get in touch with him first. ”
Kobe Bryant laughed: "Of course this can be done, I will arrange it, and this is also a good thing for Lee, isn't it?" ”
"Thank you." Jordan said with a smile, looking at Li Changgeng who was celebrating with everyone on the court, he really liked this young man.
However, after a while, there were more than 5 people who came to Kobe, including scouts and some people in the basketball world, all of whom expressed interest in Li Changgeng.
Li Changgeng helped the team to reverse the victory by 21 points, and such a report card is simply gorgeous. Everyone had the feeling of seeing a new star rising.
It is conceivable that in the near future, this new star will inevitably become more and more bright, and whoever can pull him to his side first will also benefit from it first.
After dealing with these people, Kobe Bryant looked at Li Changgeng with a smile and said to himself: "Li, I also hope that you can come to the United States to develop." ”
After losing the game, the people on the red team were naturally not happy and a little disappointed, but the game was over, and everyone still hugged the white team players one by one and encouraged each other.
It was Li Changgeng's turn to hug Nick, and Nick suddenly said, "You are very powerful, but I won't give up just yet!" Selena, I'm not going to give it to you. ”
"Oh?" Li Changgeng said indifferently, "Then we'll wait and see." ”
……..
On the other hand, the 18-year-old age group also won and lost.
In the end, the white team defeated the red team by 6 points with a 6-point advantage and won the championship of the 18-year-old age group with Sima Shenji's 34-point play.
In this way, Sima Shenji was naturally elected as the MVP of the 18-year-old age group.
At the award ceremony, Kobe Bryant did not hesitate to praise Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, two young Chinese, and spoke highly of them, and awarded MVP medals to the two.
Sima Shenji scored 34 points in the whole game, and Li Changgeng scored 25 points in a single quarter, the strength of the two is undoubted, and they deserve to be MVP, and everyone applauded and applauded.
Finally, Kobe Bryant announced that the training part of this training camp is over, and brings everyone a surprise, and will take everyone to Staples Arena tomorrow, which won the unanimous cheers of everyone.
Although there is no Lakers game tomorrow and you can't see the Lakers and other teams, it would be nice to have a tour of the arena.
"Li Changgeng, Sima Shenji." At the end of the awards, Zhang Weiping beckoned to Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, "Come here." ”
Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji followed Zhang Weiping to the side, Xiaoli was also there, Zhang Weiping just spoke, and there was a hint of excitement in his tone, "I want to tell you a good news." ”
"Huh?" Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji couldn't help but look at Zhang Weiping.
"Huh." Zhang Weiping said with a smile, "Kobe Bryant came to me just now and conveyed invitations from several high schools such as Los Angeles California High School on his behalf. These high schools want the two of you to come to their school, they can go through the process of studying abroad for you, they can provide you with scholarships, as long as you can join the varsity team and represent their school in the national high school league. ”
"Ahh Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji looked at each other and were surprised.
Zhang Weiping looked at Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, and persuaded: "You guys think about it, these high schools are all very good high schools." Speaking of this, he suddenly reacted and said, "By the way, I'll explain to you the American High School Basketball League first." ”
"Nope! We won't go! “
The two men replied in unison.
"Why?"
Zhang Weiping was very surprised, someone would not go, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for countless teenagers.
"We want to win the championship!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison.
The original dream, how could it be casually abandoned, this was their common wish, so neither of them would abandon anyone.
Zhang Weiping looked at the two people with a serious look, nodded, he didn't say anything, in fact, the two people said this, it is really suitable for his mind, not forgetting the original, is the best, only those who do not forget the original, will have a future, this is what Zhang Weiping thinks in his heart.
At this time, Xiao Er also poked his head out and said.
"If you don't go, you won't go, with me, you can improve your ability anywhere, and when you have the strength to participate in the NBA, there is the Chinese market, and you don't need to be afraid of not having a high draft pick."
Li Changgeng nodded.
"But don't refuse people first, leave a way back, after all, the atmosphere of American basketball is very good, and it is not impossible to come here to communicate when the time comes. Of course, if you don't meet the domestic conditions, you can come here. ”
Xiao Er continued.
"Got it!" Li Changgeng nodded, very cautious.
........
Soon, Kobe Bryant conveyed the rejection of Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji to Jordan and others, making Jordan and others feel extremely disappointed.
When the news spread, a group of students were also surprised, they didn't expect such a good opportunity, and the two would turn it down, was it because they were arrogant, or for other reasons?
For a while, everyone began to speculate......
......

As soon as they entered the stadium, everyone was instantly petrified, and on the court, a tall player in training clothes was training. Leaning back to shoot, breaking through to the basket, every movement is unusually beautiful, it is the perfect combination of technique and physical fitness, which is pleasing to the eye.
That man was Kobe Bryant. Bryant!
It was the first time for everyone to see Kobe Bryant playing like this, so they were extremely excited.
。
"Hey, hello." Kobe Bryant put the ball away and said hello to everyone.
"...... Uproar"
In an instant, everyone pounced on Kobe Bryant, surrounding Kobe, and expressing their love and admiration for Kobe.
In the middle of the crowd, Kobe Bryant smiled and talked to everyone, without the superstar shelf at all, like a kind senior, carefully guiding everyone.
"I haven't moved for a long time since I retired, who is interested in playing with me today."
"Boom ......"
In an instant, everyone was boiling, and they all jumped and raised their hands.
If it is a move with other masters, everyone may hesitate, afraid of losing and losing face, but if you play with Kobe, even if you lose, you will not be ashamed, so they are all very enthusiastic.
Kobe Bryant's eyes roamed around the crowd, and finally fixed on Li Changgeng, and said with a smile: "Li, you come out." ”
"Yay!" Li Changgeng shouted in his heart, and even came out of the crowd.
Listening to Kobe Bryant's name of Li Changgeng, everyone else was disappointed, but there was nothing to complain about, Li Changgeng is the MVP of the 17-year-old age group, and he scored 25 points in a single quarter, his strength is undoubted, since he wants to fight with Kobe, he is naturally the person with the strongest ability.
This morning, Kobe Bryant asked everyone to put on their jerseys and told everyone that when they arrived at the Staples Arena, they could play in the stadium for a while and feel the joy of playing at the Staples Arena, so Li Changgeng was fully equipped and took off his jacket directly.
"Can you warm me up for a while?" Li Changgeng looked at Kobe Bryant and asked in smooth English.
"Absolutely." Kobe nodded with a smile, seeing that Li Changgeng was a little nervous, and comforted: "Take it easy, just play a few balls casually, it's okay." ”
"Hmm." Li Changgeng nodded, Kobe Bryant shook his hand and passed the ball to Li Changgeng, Li Changgeng dribbled the ball, crossed the three-point line, and shot it when he pulled it up.
The basketball fell into the basket in an instant, and Li Changgeng then ran to the baseline to grab the rebound, then came out again, and then came out with another three-pointer, and the cycle went back and forth. (To be continued.) )
