Chapter 22 The Sino-American Collegiate Basketball Tournament
"Old leader, why don't you greet me when you come to Huayang, I'll arrange it in advance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" In the corner of the VIP seat, Coach Huang Tiangang was talking to an old man over sixty years old, the old man was not tall, estimated to be more than a head shorter than Huang Tiangang, but he looked very energetic, with a pair of bright eyes.
It turned out that Coach Zhang Li in Huang Tiangang's mouth, the old leader, is the old man in front of him, a few years ago, the two had worked together, Zhang Li was the head coach of the provincial team, and Huang Tiangang was Zhang Li's assistant, therefore, there was an old leader.
To say that Zhang Li can be regarded as a veteran of the basketball industry in Huayang Province, of course, he is in the coaching circle, first as the coach of the university team, and later as the head coach of the Huayang Provincial basketball team for many years, and just retired two years ago.
"Old leader, you are retired, you can't enjoy the blessings at home, how can you have time to run here." Huang Tiangang sat down next to Zhang Li.
"Alas, don't mention it, I finally went home to rest for two days, no, the leaders of our provincial bureau found me again." The provincial bureau in Zhang Li's mouth refers to the Huayang Provincial Sports Bureau.
Zhang Li pointed to a leader sitting in the center of the VIP seat, and then said to Huang Tiangang: "It is said that the province is related to the United States, what Kang, what is the university...... Anyway, this old man can't understand this English, and I can't speak it well. It is to carry out friendly cultural exchange activities with them, one of which is that the basketball team of the other state university wants to come to China to play a friendly game with our Huayang Provincial University Student Team. ”
"Kang? Case? Huang Tiangang frowned, "University of Connecticut?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Li nodded, took out a color page from the document bag next to him, and handed it to Huang Tiangang to read, "Look, no, the propaganda posters have been designed, and they will be ready to be promoted to the outside world immediately, and there are still more than two months...... Alas, a person in a hurry! ”
"Someone in a hurry?" Huang Tiangang looked at Zhang Li suspiciously, and suddenly slapped his forehead, and suddenly realized, "I understand, old leader!" Did the leaders of the provincial bureau ask you to go out of the mountains and serve as the head coach to organize the team to play against the University of Connecticut team in the United States? ”
"Isn't it? You see! Zhang Li pointed to the poster, "Sino-US College Basketball Tournament...... Alas......"
Zhang Li sighed and said: "The name is very loud, but the team is ready-made, and you can play the game if you pull it over, and the team on my side has not been skimmed yet." No, I'm picking people everywhere in the college students in Huayang Province now. ”
"Oh......" Zhang Li finally understood the reason why Zhang Li came to watch this game today, it turned out that he was here to inspect the players and prepare to form the Huayang Provincial University Student United Team.
The two talked, and the field was not idle, and with the introduction of the host in this venue, the players from both sides began to appear in turn.
First of all, the away team debuted, of course, the audience did not react too much, applause is impossible, and it is already very face-saving without cheering.
"Whoa!" Zhang Liyao pointed to the scar-faced Li Tiezhu who was walking into the venue, "I came here to inspect him today." ”
Huang Tiangang followed Zhang Li's gaze and looked at the past, nodded and said, "Being able to be known as the first center of Huayang Province college students will definitely not disappoint you." Obviously, Huang Tiangang also knows more about Scarface's strength.
"Not bad!" Zhang Lijaw added, "Li Tiezhu has a strong body, flexible steps, comprehensive skills, can attack and defend well, calm and calm, and has a good view of the overall situation...... This team is hard to find opponents in the entire Hoa Duong Province......"
As soon as Zhang Li saw the scar-faced Li Tiezhu, his heart of love for the material stood up, and he couldn't stop praising it, and suddenly remembered that today's opponent of SUSTech is Huayang University, and the head coach of Huayang University is not sitting next to him.
"This, this...... Ahem...... "Zhang Li coughed twice, "Your Huayang University is also very strong, do you have any outstanding players, introduce them to me!" ”
Listening to Zhang Li talk for a long time, he praised the other party SUSTech, and said that it was difficult to find an opponent, Huang Tiangang was a little unconvinced.
"Old leader, in your opinion, who has a better chance of winning today's game?"
"Ahem...... Zhang Li coughed again, "This is not easy to say, although the strength of Southern Science and Technology is stronger, and there is Li Tiezhu in the inner line, then you are not without a chance......"
"Old leader!" Huang Tiangang raised his voice and interrupted Zhang Li's words, "Let's make a bet, I'll bet that we Huayang will win, and they will lose at SUSTech." ”
The son is not ugly, and the dog is not poor, of course, this metaphor is a little inappropriate here. But whose children are loved, their children are always the best in the eyes of parents, and in the same way, their own players are also the best in the eyes of coaches.
"Hehe~" Zhang Li smiled, "Tiangang, it's okay to bet, if I lose, I'll give you the two catties of Moutai at home." ”
"Is that true?" Huang Tiangang's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
"It's a deal!" Zhang Li smiled, full of confidence.
"Okay, if I lose, the two boxes of Longjing tea at home will honor you for your old age!"
……
At this time, the away team on the field has finished briefing, and the home team players enter in turn......
Zhang Li observed the fat man, monkey, flying pig, Wang Meng and others, and shook his head suspiciously, there is nothing special about these players, but why is Huang Tiangang so confident? I've been a basketball coach all my life, and I still have vision.
Except for the fat point guard and the skinniest small forward, Huayang University has no one else who can take the table? This strength on paper is much worse than that of Southern Institute of Science and Technology on the other side...... Zhang Liyue wanted to feel that half of the two boxes of Longjing tea had already arrived.
As the home team's players entered, the cheers of the crowd were as enthusiastic as a tsunami, and some people kept shouting:
"Huayang will win!"
"Come on, Huayang!"
Zhang Chu sat quietly on the bench of the home team, one step behind him was the end of the VIP seat, Huang Tiangang and Zhang Li were sitting there, anyway, they were close, so Huang Tiangang sat next to the old leader, commanding remotely.
On the sidelines opposite Zhang Chu were more than a dozen cheerleading beauties from the Academy of Arts, who didn't watch the performance just now, and the fat man and flying pig sighed regretfully one after another.
At the very edge of the cheerleading beauty, a beautiful woman in white is sitting quietly, and at this moment she has changed into a white dress. As if sensing Zhang Chu's gaze, she turned her head to look, as soon as she touched Zhang Chu's eyes, she immediately hung a flying red on her cheeks, her eyes dodged, avoided Zhang Chu's direct gaze, and lowered her head, this person is the first beauty in Huayang Liu Qingxue that everyone said.
Zhang Chu straightened his mind, withdrew his gaze, and focused his attention on the court.
With the referee's whistle, the basketball match between Huayang University and SUSTech officially began!
