A week later. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The reporters gathered in us finally dispersed, and Li Changgeng never showed up. The reporters could only leave with reports like "Li Changgeng is being hospitalized". After all, Li Changgeng is still only an NCAA player, and no matter how good he is, he only performs in NCAA-level games. It's just that it's not worth the wait.

On the tenth day of Li Changgeng's hospitalization, the media reported that the NCAA league craze finally subsided. Reports about Li Changgeng and Li Changgeng gradually became scarce, and finally they were not seen. Even the most enthusiastic Min Hangyu and Tom had to turn their attention to other news.

After all, he's just an NCAA player.

On this day, Li Changgeng was discharged from the hospital. With a bandage on his right hand and a slight limp, Li Changgeng appeared in the school. is still a peaceful smile on his face, still greeting his classmates kindly and gently, or the usual school uniform, except for the bandage on his right hand and a slight limp footsteps, it is impossible to tell that he is coming back from the NCAA. Compared to Mozart and Paul, he was like a stone when they walked up, and he didn't feel the admiring gazes of the beautiful girls around him.

Sitting down in his seat, Li Changgeng's gaze involuntarily drifted to Selena's seat, where Selena was turning around and looking back, the two looked at each other, and a sweet smile flashed on their faces at the same time.

Although the two have not had the opportunity to see each other in the past ten days, the phone is lovesick, and every day when Selena gets out of school, her body always rings on time, reminding her to be careful on the road; At night, when she finished her homework and was about to go to bed with her doll bear, someone wished her a good night; In the morning, she was woken up from sleep by the ringing of the phone, and a gentle voice told her on the phone: Selena, it's time to get up! On the other side of the phone was naturally Li Changgeng. Although it didn't touch the lovesickness, it no longer conveyed such a message all the time: I miss you!

The bell rings and students begin to return to their classrooms. A heavy slap on the shoulder woke Li Changgeng from his sweetness, and Mozart's surprised voice said: "Boss, you're back!" ”

Turning his head, Mozart's expression of surprise was revealed, and Li Changgeng was about to open his mouth The teacher had already walked into the classroom with the bell, and he could only smile and nod slightly.

"Student Li Changgeng, please come to the principal's office!" Before the class, the teacher suddenly said.

Li Changgeng stood up in surprise and pointed at himself: "Me? ”

The female teacher smiled lovely: "Except for the famous young ball king, we don't have a second Li Changgeng in our university!" ”

Li Changgeng Li Changgeng's face was slightly hot, and he escaped from the classroom under the gaze of the whole class.

Principal's Office.

Looking at the smiling principal Li Changgeng, he couldn't help but feel worried. He didn't know this old man with the honorable title of old fox on the first day, "maybe he sold it one day and had to help him count the money", which is considered to be the most objective and fair evaluation of the principal.

Who knows if he's calculating how to sell himself for a good price under his smile? Li Changgeng was secretly vigilant.

The old fox was full of spring breeze, first congratulated Li Changgeng on his outstanding record in this NCAA, and then praised Li Changgeng fiercely. He praised him as rare in heaven and unparalleled on earth. Li Changgeng listened to it in a cold sweat, and prayed in his heart that these were the purposes of the old fox calling him over. Otherwise, Li Changgeng really didn't dare to imagine that with such an exaggerated foreshadowing, wouldn't the theme be ...... Is the old fox really going to sell himself?

"Headmaster, if you don't have anything else to do, I'll go back to class first. Because participating in the NCAA has delayed a lot of homework, Li Changgeng has to hurry up and review! Li Changgeng looks like a good student, but the meaning in his words is really clear: Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get to the point, Li Changgeng doesn't have time to listen to your nonsense.

The principal coughed dryly, his expression was not the slightest unnatural, and he even smiled even brighter. It's really worthy of the old fox, Li Changgeng said secretly in his heart.

The principal took out a document from a drawer, a fax. Hand it to Li Changgeng.

"What is this?" Li Changgeng asked vigilantly, but did not answer immediately. The headmaster motioned for him to look for himself. Li Changgeng took it.

"This is a fax from the basketball management center that I received this morning, officially recruiting you to participate in the training camp of the national youth team, and let you go to the training base of the national youth team within a week to report and start the training camp." The old fox blushed and said excitedly, "This is a great honor, you are the first in China to be selected as a college student for the national team!" ”

Li Changgeng looked at the fax in his hand and was slightly surprised. The national youth team? I've almost forgotten about it! Geng Xiangzhi once told himself, but he asked himself to give up the NCAA at that time and was rejected by himself. National youth team? World Junior Championships? Li Changgeng looked at the fax in his hand lightly, not at all excited when he heard the news for the first time, and even a faint melancholy quietly rose in his heart.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to participate? The old fox was amazed. The student in front of him was not happy at all, but he was so elated, but he looked pampered and not surprised. The old fox suddenly felt a sense of depression.

There is a reason why the principal is so excited, and winning the NCAA championship is already an unexpected surprise. As a result, our university has become a model for the all-round development of morality, intellect and physique in the province's educational circles. As the principal of the school, I feel proud when I walk there. Lady Luck seemed to favor us in particular, and just when the media was in the air, we suddenly received this fax that China's first national player college student will be selected from his school. What a great honor. The headmaster couldn't help but be deep if he wanted to.

However, the protagonist of the incident does not seem to have any special surprises. The protagonist is not particularly happy, what is the excitement of his supporting role? Aren't you depressed? It's weird.

But the principal couldn't help but ask curiously, "Don't you really want to participate?" What a great honor! ”

Li Changgeng raised his head and sighed, "I have to go back and think about it." Is it okay for me to reply tomorrow? ”

The principal nodded, "You go back and discuss with the dormitory people first!" Li Changgeng responded respectfully and walked out.

Staring at the back of the principal's office, the old fox involuntarily showed a confused and curious look.

Walking out of the principal's office, Li Changgeng looked up at the sky and sighed. National youth team, can you really participate? The first time Geng Xiangzhi personally said such an invitation, he was really ecstatic and excited, and I believe that anyone else would have the same reaction. But today, Li Changgeng no longer has such excitement and excitement, replaced by a faint melancholy.

。

Participating in the World Junior Championships does not necessarily mean stepping into professional football and becoming a professional basketball player. But how convincing is such a statement? Not to mention whether it will affect the studies that have been delayed a lot, "the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in the anthill", once he breaks through such a bottom line and sees the high level of the world, who can guarantee that he will not give up everything to pursue a higher basketball world one day?

But I really want to participate! Looking up at the blue sky, Li Changgeng's eyes were full of blazing looks.

Li Changgeng, who returned to the classroom, involuntarily had a faint melancholy on his face, even if he was as dull as Mozart, he felt that the boss was a little different from usual after returning from the principal's office. Among them, the one who cares about Li Changgeng the most is naturally Selena, and she felt a faint sorrow from the moment Li Changgeng stepped into the classroom.

Class is over, stairwell.

Selena asked nervously, "Li Changgeng, has something happened?" ”

With a slight sigh in his heart, Li Changgeng still couldn't hide Selena's eyes. He pulled the fax out of his bosom and handed it to her. Looking down, a trace of sadness flashed in Selena's eyes - the first lover is naturally unwilling to separate. Raising her head, the sadness in her eyes had disappeared, and she gently handed the fax back to Li Changgeng, Selena asked softly, "This is a good thing, don't you really want to participate?" ”

Li Changgeng sighed softly and replied, "Has Coach Meigelo returned to school?" ”

"I'm still at home. By the way, Beethoven is going to quit the team to prepare for next year's entrance exams, and he has been waiting for you to come back and retire. Are you going to the gym today? Coach Meigello may come over too! ”

"Retired?" Li Changgeng turned his back to Selena and looked out the window with a faint gaze, "Retired, is he leaving?" The gloomy tone was undoubtedly exposed.

When the class bell rang, Li Changgeng turned around gently, gently held Selena's hand, and said, "Let's go, go to class!" ”

After the third period in the afternoon, the basketball team routines for training.

There was a cacophony in the gymnasium, and the stands on the sidelines were full of onlookers. After winning the championship, the basketball team became famous, and the previously deserted stands are now overcrowded. Girls make up a large proportion of the onlookers. Among them, Cool Brother Harris has the largest number of fans. The suave Beethoven was also the object of the school's many female students.

"Bump!" Under Mozart's cool slam dunk, the basket roared. Thunderous cheers rang out all around at the same time. Dropping the basket, Mozart looked around with a cool face and a look of ambition. Turning his gaze to the door of the gymnasium, his cool expression could no longer be maintained. Grinning excitedly, he shouted, "Boss! ”

Because of Mozart's shout, the other team members invariably turned their heads to look at the door of the gymnasium, where Li Changgeng, who had been away for more than two weeks, was standing at the door smiling at the players training in the gymnasium.

"Li Changgeng!"

"Boss, are you alright?"

“……”

The players ran over one after another to surround Li Changgeng in the middle, and even if he was as cold as Harris, he put down the basketball in his hand and stood at the outermost part of the crowd and looked at Li Changgeng with relief.

The enthusiasm of the team members diluted the melancholy in Li Changgeng's heart, and greeted the team members one by one with a smile. The left hand finally held the hand of the captain Beethoven, and the two were silent for a while, and the two hands were tightly clenched.

"Captain......

Beethoven nodded slightly and smiled: "Everyone has been waiting for you to come back, it's good that you're okay." ”

"Are you really leaving?"

"I'm a junior in high school, I've been able to play in the NCAA, and I've won a championship, and I don't have any regrets in my three-year basketball career. Now that you're back, I'm more relieved to leave! ”

Li Changgeng's eyes were slightly astringent, Beethoven has always taken great care of him since he returned to the basketball team, as the captain, he is not only willing to obey his orders, but also repeatedly stood firmly on his side at important moments, unreservedly supporting himself. Captain, there is no one better suited for this position than Beethoven. Taking a deep breath, Li Changgeng tried his best to calm his tone: "Will you come back often?" ”

"Of course!" Beethoven gently patted Li Changgeng on the shoulder and smiled, "Even if he quits the basketball team, Li Changgeng is still our student, and it is natural to come to watch the basketball team's training." Looking up at the students who were watching on the sidelines, "Just like them!" ”

"Among those people?" Leonard smiled, "Captain, aren't you afraid that beautiful girls will come around and divide you?" ”

"Hahaha......" burst into laughter. In the laughter, the melancholy atmosphere diluted a lot.

"Let's take a picture!" Selena didn't know when she got a camera, and she had already set up a tripod. The team surrounded Beethoven in the center, and Selena, after setting the focus and time, also ran over to lean on Beethoven's side.

"Click!" The soft sound of the camera kept this scene forever.

Captain Beethoven retired, waved his hand and left the basketball team in front of the attention of all the basketball players. His No. 4 jersey is on display in the basketball team's showroom with his name and that of the entire team. As the first basketball captain of our basketball team to lead the team to a championship, his jersey will be permanently displayed there as a part of our basketball team's history.

Beethoven's position as captain was missing, and Li Changgeng filled it. At the suggestion of Li Changgeng, Leonard was elected as the vice captain.

And Coach Mergelo didn't come until the end.

Li Changgeng, who has long been accustomed to the position of acting coach, took the team to train as usual. Because his injuries had not yet healed, he sat on the sidelines and directed. Shouting orders in his mouth and waving his arms constantly, Li Changgeng seems to be a real coach. And the team members who have long been accustomed to his command are also happy one by one. Mozart and Paul's handsome performances were gone, and Harris's solo training was canceled, and everyone trained seriously under his command.

The students on the sidelines were amazed by what they saw. Who the hell is this guy who appeared for the first time in more than ten days? The chatter sounded quietly.

What is the content of the discussion? Li Changgeng didn't hear a word in his ears.

It was getting dark and the training was over. The students on the basketball team, except for Li Changgeng, are basically resident students. Waving goodbye to his teammates, Li Changgeng stepped on his bicycle and left the school.

And the path he walked was not the direction back to the dormitory.

After crossing the road, walking the alleys, and asking passers-by a few times, Li Changgeng finally stopped in front of a residential building. Settle the bike, climb a few flights of stairs and stop in front of a door, and press the doorbell.

"Who?" A familiar voice came from within.

"It's me, Coach Megello!"

The door opened, and Coach Meigello's massive body appeared inside the door.

"Li Changgeng!" Coach Mergello had a look of surprise on his face.

"Coach Meigello!" Li Changgeng smiled and looked at Coach Meigelo inside the door, and hugged his huge body with open arms. This is the first time the two have met since their pre-NCAA separation.

The two hugged fiercely, and Meigello looked Li Changgeng up and down with a smile, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and only stopped when Li Changgeng's eyes were black as usual.

Meigello's granddaughter looked curiously at the boy who was able to stand peacefully after such a blow from her grandfather, and it was not until her grandfather gave a soft snort that she blushed and slipped back to her room.

Taking the tea handed over by Meigello, Li Changgeng took a sip and put it down.

Meigello spoke: "Your injuries are okay, no major problems. ”

Li Changgeng smiled: "It's almost recovered." How's Coach Meigello's body? ”

Meigello shook his head, stared at Li Changgeng, and said for a moment: "Do you have anything on your mind?" But is there anything you want to tell me? ”

Looking at Meigello in amazement, Li Changgeng nodded lightly, reached out and took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to him gently.

Meigello took the paper handed over by Li Changgeng - the fax, lowered his head and looked up and down, his face instantly swelled with ecstasy, and said happily: "Okay, this is a good thing." Looking up at Li Changgeng, he asked strangely: "You don't seem to be very happy, don't you want to participate?" ”

"No, I want to participate!"

Meigello put down the fax in his hand, stared at Li Changgeng, and asked, "What is the problem that makes you embarrassed?" Or is something wrong? ”

Li Changgeng was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Has Coach Meigelo heard of Juyuan Group?" ”

"Of course I've heard of it. It is also one of the top 20 private enterprises in the world. Does this have anything to do with you? ”

"The chairman and general manager of Juyuan Group are my uncle and aunt!"

Meigello was stunned, or rather shocked. After a long time, he asked in a low voice: "You mean, your uncle and aunt are the chairman and general manager of Juyuan Group." ”

Li Changgeng sighed, nodded lightly, and said, "Juyuan Group was founded by my uncle and aunt, and I am the heir of Juyuan Group. ”

Meigello's mouth opened slightly, and half Li Changgeng slowly closed it, his heart was full of shock. It's been a while since I've known Li Changgeng. Chang Gung in front of him is the best Li Chang Gung he has ever seen, and he is also the strongest player. But Meigello never associated him with the rich kids. In Meigello's mind, the children of the rich can basically be labeled as the children of gentlemen. Even if it is not so, it can be equated with pampering, and no matter how good the rich dormitory children are, they will inevitably have some arrogant tempers. Being strong and unyielding and never giving up has never been a virtue for a rich dormitory child. Over the years, Meigello has watched Li Changgeng open up. Although he liked to brag about Li Changgeng when he was a child, Changgeng basically had nothing to do with the rich children in his mind. No matter how boring the training is, he can persevere to the end; No matter how difficult the game is, he will not give up the opportunity to pursue victory; Wounded, bleeding, and painful pain could not stop his determination to win. He is modest and cautious, always gentle and gentle, and the way he is convinced by the rebellious guys on the basketball team is enough to prove that he is usually a person. Look at what he's usually dressed - I haven't seen his identity for a while.

After a long time, Meigello finally recovered his ability to think from the shock. The son of a rich man, he still couldn't believe it.

"Coach Mergello?" Seeing that Meigello was silent for a long time, Li Changgeng asked in a low voice.

Meigello nodded. He is a person from the past, so he can naturally understand the doubts in Li Changgeng's heart. Thinking about it from another angle, if he is Chang Gung's uncle and aunt, I am afraid he will also say "no" in this matter. A basketball superstar is no more glorious than a successful entrepreneur. Uncles and aunts usually choose the latter path for their children.

After a long time, Meigello asked in a deep voice, "What do you want from me?" Is it advice or encouragement? ”

Shaking his head slowly, Li Changgeng said confusedly: "I don't know, Li Changgeng is very confused now!" ”

"Confused?"

Nodding blankly, "For some time before this, I had been working hard with the goal of defeating the Raptors. When I did win the match, I wasn't as happy as I expected. It was a great pleasure to lead us to a national victory, but I didn't know what to do next.

"When I got this fax from the principal, I already knew what I had to do. But I wasn't entirely determined to do it. I really want to see and see what level of basketball is really at the world level. At the end, Li Changgeng already had a look of fascination, "I really want to go and see it!" ”

His words sounded a little incoherent and even a little inconsistent, but Meigello understood him perfectly and was very aware of what he was feeling. From the first time he took him to the NCAA, Megello had already found that he was not as nervous as others when facing strong opponents, but he couldn't help but show an excited look. It's a complete immersion in the fun of challenging powerful enemies. After this NCAA, his strength has completely surpassed the NCAA level, and after defeating the last opponent of the NCAA, the Raptors, the entire NCAA basketball community has no goal to challenge. On top of the single peak, a glance at the mountains is a portrayal of him now. But Li Changgeng is not a person who is used to waiting for others to challenge alone, and it is his interest to take the initiative to challenge stronger opponents. And the World Junior Championships gave him that opportunity.

But because of his family, he may only be able to watch the opportunity slip away from his eyes. After more than ten years of subtle influence, even he himself is not sure whether to seize this opportunity.
