Chapter 18: A Powerful Enemy Emerges
"Who is that person? What are you here for? Mozart said. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"That person doesn't seem to be an ordinary person!" Leonard Road.
"He is the head coach of the New York Sword Le team, an old friend of Li Changgeng, come to see Li Changgeng." Li Changgeng said lightly, "There's nothing to do, let's continue training in Los Angeles, Los Angeles must go all out in the afternoon game!" ”
The team members happily continued the training just now.
The afternoon game will soon begin. They won yesterday's game, and if Los Angeles lose this game, it would be an early end to Los Angeles' NCAA path. But thankfully, Tmall is nowhere near as good as Los Angeles' opponent yesterday. And Los Angeles, which lost a game, is already a battle against the water, and the momentum of Los Angeles far exceeds that of its opponents. Even in terms of strength alone, Los Angeles without Li Changgeng may not lose to its opponent.
At the beginning of the game, as expected by Li Changgeng, the Los Angeles team was imposing, and under the leadership of ace Harris's strong ball skills, the Los Angeles team led all the way. The most surprising thing is Mozart's performance, after yesterday's match with the national super center, he really made great progress, and he played well today. This may have been the biggest takeaway from yesterday's war.
The score was 48:40 at the end of the first half.
Li Changgeng routinely summarized the performance of the players in the first half, and Harris really performed the most outstandingly, scoring 24 points alone, winning half of the Los Angeles team's score. Others are not doing badly. It's just that Li Changgeng frowned: "Vujasic, you have already committed three fouls, if you can't be careful in the second half, you will have to be replaced in the middle of this game!" ”
"Yes, I got it!" Mozart grinned and grinned. It seems that he himself was very proud of his performance in the first half.
"That's it, the second half is still the same as the first. The opponent will definitely change the tactics and strengthen the attack in the second half, and Los Angeles will respond to the changes for the time being, just play as usual. Throwing away the notebook in his hand, Li Changgeng said lightly, "It's really not good, it's to see which of you will let Li Changgeng play to warm up, and Li Changgeng is also very happy to see you playing." ”
"Haha......" burst into laughter, and there was a relaxed atmosphere in the dressing room.
At the beginning of the second half, the Lynx team really changed their tactics, and they were eager to catch up with the score, and they started the tactics of marking people all over the field as soon as they started. The unprepared Los Angeles team lost a series of shots in the first few minutes, and the score was gradually closed. But after stabilizing his position, under the leadership of ace player Harris, he fought to catch up, and the advantage of the score gradually fell to the Los Angeles team again.
There are ten minutes left. The score is 70:62.
"Flute!" The referee's whistle blew again. In the box, Mozart raised his hand stupidly - and fouled again. This guy is a real headache!
"Pause!" He immediately called a timeout. Looking around, do you want to change your journey? Li Changgeng couldn't help but hesitate, this time is the most critical time of the game, if the inside line misses, the whole situation will instantly turn to the opponent. Moreover, it is too heavy for him to take on such a heavy responsibility all of a sudden. After hesitating for a while, Li Changgeng finally took off his coat!
"You, are you going to play? Your hands ......," the TA was shocked.
"There are only ten minutes left in the game, no problem!" Li Changgeng smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Help Li Changgeng untie the bandage!" ”
The teaching assistant bit his lip, did not answer, and gently helped Li Changgeng untie the bandage.
Mozart sat down on the chair and said indignantly, "Damn, I just touched his hand lightly, and the referee blew the whistle!" ”
"Stop talking nonsense, come down and rest. Tell you to be careful, just don't stop! Li Changgeng said angrily, "I'll only replace you for five minutes, you can reflect on it." If you are like this next time, Li Changgeng will not send you to play in the first half! ”
Mozart scratched his head and did not dare to say more.
"Substitution!" Li Changgeng gestured to the referee.
The game restarted, and after the opponent hit two free throws, the score was 70:64. There are still 6 points left in the gap.
Out of bounds, Leonard, who got the ball, was blocked by two opponents in an instant, without doing any dribbling, Leonard threw the ball high to Li Changgeng, and Li Changgeng, who received the ball with his left hand, took advantage of the situation to dissipate the momentum, firmly grasped the ball in his hand, and easily passed it to Harris before the opponent blocked. Even though I only have one hand, it's still very easy to pass the ball!
Harris, who never knew how to pass the ball, really rushed to the opponent's position single-handedly. After getting rid of two opponents, Harris jumped from outside the box and shot the basket!
The basketball bounced off the hoop and jumped out of the hoop! Grab a rebound!
A slender hand suddenly appeared on the edge of the basket, gently pressed the emerging basketball, entered the basket, and scored!
72:64。
Who is it? Who else besides Li Changgeng.
Shrugging his shoulders, Li Changgeng turned around easily and high-fived Harris, who was walking over.
"Well done!" Harris, who has always been stingy with smiles, actually showed a smile!
"This time it's just a fluke!" Hugging Paul beside him, Li Changgeng smiled, "Rest assured shooting, the basket will be handed over to Los Angeles!" ”
"Don't let them grab a single ball!" Paul raised his fists in confidence.
Harris nodded slightly, and turned to defend. Li Changgeng put his arm around Paul: "Do you want to try in Los Angeles to see who grabs more rebounds!" ”
Paul shook off Li Changgeng: "Let's start now!" As he spoke, he rushed to the basket.
The game continues to begin. Although the right hand has lost its former flexibility, it will not be affected much when defending. The inside line, which relies on card rebounds to survive, dribbling is not too important, especially Li Changgeng's left hand can also score. The inside line of Los Angeles is more solid after the addition of Lee Chang Gung. Harris Beethoven, who has strong support from the inside, can shoot with more confidence. The whole situation of the game suddenly turned in Los Angeles.
"Smack!" Li Changgeng, who grabbed the rebound again, went directly through the armpit of the defender in Xiao Erzhong, gently shook out the basketball, and the basketball grazed the rebound and gently entered the basket!
Score!
With exactly five minutes left, the score was 86:70. Li Changgeng made a substitution gesture to the referee. Mozart on the sidelines rushed over without waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for substitutions.
"Damn!" Paul was indignant, "I'm going to lose to you with one hand!" ”
Li Changgeng said softly, "Did you see Li Changgeng's moves just now?" You can do it too. The next Los Angeles continues to compete! He patted him on the shoulder and went off the field.
Off the field, the assistant coach had already prepared towels and drinks. Li Changgeng wiped his sweat, drank saliva, and rested comfortably on the chair. The assistant teacher held up Li Changgeng's right hand, carefully examined it, and said happily: "Your right hand doesn't seem to have deteriorated a bit!" ”
"Of course, Li Changgeng only used his left hand to control the ball from beginning to end!" Li Changgeng said proudly!
The assistant coach lightly knocked on Li Changgeng's forehead, and said angrily: "This is the opponent's mercy, if they fight a little savagely, can you still sit here and stink?" Li Changgeng opened his mouth slightly, not daring to refute. The teaching assistant looked at Li Changgeng's stupid appearance, "Poof! A laugh came out, and the end was the autumn waves, and the delicate cheeks were dizzy. Li Changgeng, who was next to him, had straight eyes, and the noise in his ears suddenly left Li Changgeng. After a while, suddenly there was a pain in his thigh, and Li Changgeng jumped up with a scream. The assistant teacher sat upright, his face flushed, and said in a low voice, "You idiot! ”
Speechless, Li Changgeng scratched his head and looked around, but fortunately no one saw it. Quickly sit up straight and make the appearance of watching the game intently. The heart is still pounding freely, this little girl is really amazing, Li Changgeng, a real gentleman who is not messy, is about to become a ** when he touches her.
The game continues. The game without Li Changgeng turned into a tug-of-war between the two sides, and no one could help anyone. Los Angeles' lead by more than a dozen points has become the key to deciding the victory.
In the audience, two people exchanged heads.
"I think you may not have noticed, Mike, that No. 24 who just got off the field just now!"
"He? Although he is not very tall, he is very elastic, his defense under the basket is good, and he is very good in rebounding. But it's just good. By the standards of a center, he was in the wrong position, and I think he would be better off playing as a forward or a shooting guard. ”
"No, you still haven't noticed. Think about the game he just played! From dribbling, ball control, and catching the ball, to passing, shooting, rebounding, all a series of technical actions are done by one hand - one hand! Yasin finally emphasized!
Mike tilted his head and thought, "That's true, he seems to have only used his left hand from beginning to end." Oh, it's still a 'disability', so it's not a big deal! ”
"You're such an idiot!" Yasin angrily knocked Mike on the head, "See, on the sidelines, that No. 24 hand is wrapped in bandages!" You still don't understand why he only used one hand just now? ”
"Oh?" Mike also saw Li Changgeng on the sidelines and was a little surprised.
"With just one hand, you and I may be able to do it to his level, but I'm afraid it won't be as easy as him!" Yasen said, "He's definitely not a simple character! ”
"Hearing you say this, Li Changgeng also noticed that he is really not a simple guy! And the white team doesn't seem to have a full-time coach, it seems that the coach is him! McDow.
'As you said, he's completely in the wrong position, he's just playing as a centre-forward. Judging by the lethality he has shown, he is definitely not an obscure player. Yasin said with a solemn expression, "Leading the team to participate in the NCAA as a player and coach, there will definitely be no more than two such people, go back and check it out to know the details of this person!" ”
"Why don't you go quickly?" Mike immediately stood up, "You don't have to watch this game to know!" ”
The two stood up, and the people next to them realized how tall the two foreigners who had been muttering were.
"Flute!" The whistle blows, and the Los Angeles team wins!
Los Angeles won the second game of the national competition, and a dark future suddenly dawned. There was finally a smile on everyone's gloomy faces. When you return to your accommodation, you will inevitably have a burst of celebration. Harris, the chief contributor to the victory, was naturally the object of everyone's touting. Mozart and Paul naturally boasted about themselves. Listening to their unnutritious boasting on the side, Li Changgeng seemed to have returned to the days when "Li Changgeng" was on his lips all day long four years ago. It's been four years, and he was the youngest and most favored little brother in the team back then, and now he is the "leading big brother" who is responsible for leading the army.
Time flies! Li Changgeng sighed, left the restaurant and returned to his room, and the assistant teacher behind him also followed. Back in the room and poured into the soft bed, so comfortable! Li Changgeng kicked off his shoes comfortably, drilled into the bed, and pinched Li Changgeng's ear with one hand behind him: "You lazy cat, just go to bed like this?" ”
"What's wrong?" Li Changgeng groaned and reluctantly got out of the bed.
"You're really not ashamed to burrow into the bed like this?" Teaching assistant said.
Alas, Li Changgeng groaned silently, put his shoes on the table, rushed into the bathroom quickly, washed up in three or two, and then returned to the room to report: "I'm done, can I sleep now?" ”
"Stupid!" The teaching assistant snorted, "Your hand hasn't been drugged yet!" ”
Li Changgeng looked at his right hand and patted his head: "Li Changgeng has forgotten, it doesn't hurt anymore, so you don't need to take medicine today!" It's not that Li Changgeng is particularly sleepy and wants to sleep, it's just that he doesn't sleep in front of the teaching assistant's peerless appearance, Li Changgeng doesn't know if he will talk nonsense, or even do any funny things.
The assistant teacher glanced at Li Changgeng, took out the medicine box, gently untied the bandage on Li Changgeng's hand, and then carefully used the potion to scrub Li Changgeng's wound, his movements were as soft as if he was caring for a newborn baby, and his expression was focused, as if he was holding some peerless treasure in his hand. Li Changgeng's heart was hot, and he couldn't help but think about it again: Perhaps, she likes Li Changgeng a little! Hehe, thinking of the pride, Li Changgeng almost couldn't help but dance with his hands, and his right hand couldn't help but tremble slightly. The teaching assistant nervously said, "Does it hurt?" ”
Li Changgeng's old face was hot: "It's okay!" ”
The teaching assistant gently applied the medicine, and when she was about to bandage it, Li Changgeng stopped her: "Don't bandage it, just breathe like this!" "Anyway, Li Changgeng has to untie it at night, which will save Li Changgeng trouble. Of course, Li Changgeng naturally didn't dare to say this.
"And how do you sleep?"
"I sleep very well, just keep my hands outside!"
The teaching assistant nodded slightly, and turned back to pack up the medicine box. Li Changgeng stared at her stupidly, and when she looked up, she quickly turned around and got into the quilt, her heart was pounding and beating, do you know what Li Changgeng was thinking just now? Li Changgeng was thinking: She is really red and beautiful, I don't know what it will feel like to kiss her?
"Don't you want to talk to me about something?" The voice of the assistant teacher was faintly remembered in Li Changgeng's back.
"I don't have anything to say!" Turning sideways, Li Changgeng tried to say calmly.
"Do you plan to play in the next game?"
"It depends on the situation, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better for Li Changgeng not to play."
"As a last resort? Do you mean the state of the day? In the future, the opponent is stronger than the other, and this situation is absolutely indispensable, do you have to play every time? The TA sounded a little strange.
"I don't have any major problems with my hands anymore, I'll be fine after two days of recuperation. And you have also seen it, even with only one hand, I am still very powerful, haha, am I that Li Changgeng! Grinning, Li Changgeng smiled proudly.
The teaching assistant glanced at Li Changgeng faintly, bowed his head and said nothing, the sad and pitiful, Chu Chu touching place, made Li Changgeng who was on the side stunned, and his brain was shocked, dumbfounded, and he didn't come back to his soul for a long time.
"Do you participate in the training camp of the national youth team?"
Li Changgeng was stunned and hurriedly replied: "I haven't thought about it carefully." Now Lee Chang Gung is only thinking about the NCAA. Anyway, the training camp will only start next month, and it's never too late to think about it after the NCAA is over! ”
The teaching assistant turned silently and stopped talking. The room was quiet, and Li Changgeng mustered up the courage to break the silence several times, but finally sighed in his heart and buried his head in the quilt.
When I woke up in the middle of the night, the teaching assistant was asleep, and just like last night, it took a long time for Li Changgeng to come back to his senses, run to the bathroom, and naturally slapped himself twice.
After two weeks of peace of mind and luck, Li Changgeng began last night's restoration work. With last night's experience, the repair is naturally familiar, and when the repair is over, the repair of the tendons and veins is almost complete, and the original red and swollen fingers have gradually disappeared due to the reason why the blood is washed away. If it weren't for the fact that the knuckles hadn't gotten better, the fingers could almost be said to be completely healed. Although True Qi has a miraculous effect on healing the muscles and veins, it does not seem to have much effect on the bones.
As soon as the day dawned, I tiptoed back to the bedroom, and the teaching assistant was still asleep. Slipped into the bed and pretended to sleep, and soon the sun was fully rising.
Because of the game in the morning, the players had already gotten up, and only Mozart and Paul were still snoring in their rooms. Pushing the door in, the two of them were snoring loudly as if they were playing. Angry and funny, Li Changgeng lifted off Mozart's quilt and yelled in his ear: "Earthquake! Mozart jumped up, looked around a few times, saw that it was all right, and fell back to bed with a grunt. was so angry that Li Changgeng kicked him in the ass before he got up from the bed.
Today's game in Los Angeles is scheduled for the first game in the morning, so after a hasty breakfast and a slight warm-up in Los Angeles, Li Changgeng took everyone to the stadium.
The last game of the group stage is over, and if you win, you will be able to qualify. Before this crucial game, the players were a little apprehensive. Li Changgeng tried to make a relaxed appearance and smiled: "Don't be nervous, today may be the weakest opponent Los Angeles has encountered so far." Los Angeles is above them, so don't worry. Of course, the opponent will naturally do his best for the last hope of qualifying, and he can't be too careless. Just play the way Los Angeles normally plays. After two NCAA baptisms, I think you probably know the strength of the NCAA. You have to believe it: even in the whole country, Los Angeles is a very strong team! Win today's game and Los Angeles will officially step into the championship race! ”
Harris is still a cool smile without the slightest smile, Beethoven and Leonard smiled slightly, and the tension was slightly relieved, while Mozart and Paul seemed to have completely listened to Li Changgeng's words, looking excited, screaming, and looking at Li Changgeng's heart with a burst of amusement: What a simple guy!
Because it was the first game in the morning, Los Angeles warmed up early, and Li Changgeng, who didn't plan to play in the first half, sat quietly on the sidelines to watch them warm up. The eyes of thousands of spectators were focused on the players of the two teams who warmed up on the field. But Li Changgeng always felt that there were two burning eyes on Li Changgeng's face, and it seemed that the prey was being watched by the hunter, which made people very uncomfortable. Following his senses, a black guy in the stands was looking this way, and next to him was a white, blue-eyed blonde guy. The unique appearance of the two made Li Changgeng find out at a glance among thousands of audiences.
In the stands.
"Hehe, it seems to have been discovered!" Yasin smiled.
"Won't it?" Mike didn't believe it. Yasen pointed to Li Changgeng who was looking at him in the field.
"What a keen sense." Mike smacked, "With so many spectators in the venue, you can find Los Angeles all at once!" ”
"With this feeling, Li Changgeng believes that he won the honor of 'Young Ball King' as a point guard at the age of 16," Yasen said.
"And what about the other three percent?" Mike asked.
"You have to watch him play to believe it. It's a pity that I can't get a video of his game at that time. Los Angeles can only hope to see him in real action at this tournament. Maybe the game he meets the Raptors will be what Los Angeles is looking forward to. Yasen said.
"With his current form, do you think they can make it to the joint final? Even if he can reach the joint finals, he may not be in enough form to play his best! McDow.
As he spoke, the game began.
Los Angeles' opponent today is from Ma Dengjing. At the beginning of the game, after a brief trial between the two sides, it quickly entered a fierce battle for a short handover. It was a game that neither side could afford to lose, so the competition was fierce.
The result of the jump ball was that Mozart had a slight upper hand and grabbed the ball first. Leonard organized the attack, and Harris's throw was interfered with by the opponent and did not go in. After Ma Dengjing grabbed the rebound, he organized an offense and was unable to score under the pressing of Los Angeles.
In the next game, the two sides will not give in to each other and start a fierce offensive and defensive battle. With both sides trying their best to defend and attack, the game was frozen for a while, although the scene was fierce but there were few goals. It is clear that whoever can break the deadlock first will be a huge morale booster, and the goals that will continue to flow will continue.
The ball is now in Los Angeles' hands. It is still point guard Leonard who has the ball. Leonard has passed the ball several times, but the opponent is pressing, and the players have never had a chance to shoot. After a big lap of upside down, the ball was back in his hands. Time is running out, and now it's only up to the aces. Leonard turned around and made a breakthrough, but his right hand passed the ball to Harris from behind. Harris, who had been waiting for a long time, easily picked the ball in his hand. This guy who likes to do brute things, how is he going to attack this time?
Sideways staggered, the ball went from the opponent's armpit and stuffed to Paul on the inside! Pass? He actually chose to pass the ball, Li Changgeng who was watching from the sidelines almost fell off his eyes, this guy has always been a guy who doesn't know how to pass as long as he has a chance!
