In Yuncheng in October, the sun is still hot.

The organizers set up a tent on the side of the basketball court, which is square enough to accommodate more than 30 people.

So far, in the shade under the tent, there are only two contestants, Ye Luo and Zhang Haoran, and some of the rest are the leaders and volunteers of this event.

Located in the most prosperous prime area of the city, it is noon, and Nanfeng Square is still full of traffic.

Those who come out to wander are also on the verge of exhaustion, and they can't help but stop when they walk near the basketball court, or they want to take a break, or they are ready to watch a game, or just to satisfy their curiosity.

Although there is water, seats, and services under the tent, they are surrounded by spectators on all sides, so that the air in the stadium cannot be circulated, and the temperature on the surface is very hot, making Ye Luo and Zhang Haoran feel as if they are in a steam room.

"it...... The heat is dead! Zhang Haoran pinched the collar of his shirt and kept fanning, looking around: "These audiences have come too early!" Don't they eat? ”

Ye Luo's T-shirt was already soaked with sweat, so he took a sip of water and said, "Don't blame them, it's the two of us who came too early." ”

"Eh......"

Sighing, Zhang Haoran was unwilling to say: "I really should have listened to you just now...... Even if we don't go to eat, even if we blow the air conditioner, it's still okay! ”

"Now you know that sitting here is boiling people?!"

I wanted to tease Zhang Haoran a few words, but a few young and vigorous young men suddenly appeared in Ye Luo's sight, wearing loose street ball uniforms, flying and domineering, not only changed his words and said: "Forget it, bear with it a little longer!" Well, there's always someone who can't hold it back before you. ”

Zhang Haoran looked back at Ye Luo's instructions, and saw that it was the same group of people, but they took the initiative to ask the person in charge of the organizer for a basketball, the polished surface of the material, colorful, and its obvious reflection could be felt under the sun.

"What's that?"

Zhang Haoran stared at the basketball with a critical eye, and at the same time gently slapped Ye Luo, and said: "That ball looks slippery and can't stick at all, how can people play?" ”

"Haha! Don't be picky. ”

Hooking the corners of his mouth, Ye Luo casually looked at the group of guys in street ball uniforms, and said, "Haoran, don't forget, we're playing street basketball for a while!" In contrast, streetball is more about spectatorship than professionalism. ”

"Wow...... There is some truth to that. ”

Because his face was dripping with sweat and steaming, Zhang Haoran's glasses were already covered with a layer of mist, so while he was talking, he had to remove the frames of his glasses, and then wipe them with his clothes first.

However, just as Zhang Haoran lowered his head, the polished basketball bounced into the tent, and after colliding with a few chairs, it rolled under Ye Luo's feet.

Ye Luo pressed the basketball with the tip of his shoe, randomly bent down to pick up the basketball, and was about to throw it into the court, but unexpectedly, a young man wearing a white T-shirt and dark green pants walked over, and his eyes were inhumane: "Take it, man." ”

When Zhang Haoran heard this, he put on his glasses and looked up at the young man standing in front of Ye Luo, and he didn't know if it was the influence of his dress and grooming, or his own temperament was relatively loose, the young man's demeanor was always a squirrel.

Ye Luo was just stunned, and Zhang Haoran was still looking, so the young man snorted coldly, stepped forward, and slapped away the basketball that Ye Luo held in the air with one hand.

"Smack!"

The basketball hit the ground with a contempt: "Shhh......h Just that stupid and still play?! ”

The young man's voice was not loud, but he could hear it clearly under the still quiet tent.

Zhang Haoran's northeast blood immediately boiled, and he clenched his fists and wanted to get up and let out a breath for Ye Luo.

However, at the last moment, a small hand fell from the sky and firmly pressed on Zhang Haoran's leg, which forced his impulse down and said softly: "Shhh Calm down, there's no need! ”

Glancing at Ye Luo, who was standing still, Zhang Haoran let go of his fist, just as if nothing had happened, "Little calf, don't let Lao Tzu meet him during the game, otherwise...... Must have beaten him so much that his father didn't even know him! ”

Ye Luo laughed, took another sip of mineral water, shook his head, and thought: Haoran, Haoran...... At first glance, you haven't played street basketball before, but I'm afraid I'll have to help you end it for a while!

Street Basketball - FreeStyle, not so much that it has no rules, is that freedom is rules.

In the United States, street basketball has long been popular.

And even the superstars in the NBA, no matter how much they call for wind and rain and reach the pinnacle in that hallowed and top-level arena, once they enter Rock Park, they have to remain humble and low-key.

Basketball that has broken free from the shackles of the rules, like a wild horse that has escaped the reins, a tiger out of the box, will let the whole world appreciate its little-known side!

As a carrier, a street basketball game is enough to explain to the world: what is hearty, what is freewheeling, what is horror, what is basketball!

In the blink of an eye, there were still fifteen minutes before two o'clock, and the person in charge of the court finally hung up the whistle and shouted the horn and entered the basketball court.

"Dear basketball enthusiasts, the street basketball tournament hosted exclusively by our Nike stores is about to begin! First of all, the 2V2 contestants are asked to arrange a representative to draw lots on the field to decide the opponent and the number of matches in the competition! ”

The person in charge was wearing the work clothes of the Nike store and wearing a sunhat, which just blocked the sun overhead, Ye Luo and Zhang Haoran glanced at each other, and finally Ye Luo walked out of the tent as a representative.

The basketball court is a half-court, made of silicon PU, and a cordon is drawn after two meters of opening around.

Although it is a smaller version of a standard court, the Sparrow is small and has all the organs: a three-second zone, a three-point line, a boundary line, and a half-arc in the middle circle...... The whole nine yards.

The contestants walked into the stadium one after another, centered on the person in charge of the draw, and surrounded by groups, because they were all different people from different classes, so it was difficult to control the order.

Fortunately, except for some delays, the process of drawing lots was not blocked, Ye Luo's hand touched it in a closed and opaque box, and then held a small ball and handed it to the person in charge of the game group.

"What's the first?" Zhang Haoran stood up to greet Ye Luo and asked.

Ye Luo sat back in his seat, evoked a faint smile, and said: "There are a total of 9 2V2 teams, which are divided into 4 groups according to the numbers drawn, and the other team has a bye. I drew the number 4, which should be ......"

Ye Luo said as he pulled out a ticket-like note from his hand, which marked the rules of this street basketball game:

No. 1 Vs5;

No. 2 Vs6;

No. 3 Vs7;

No. 4 Vs8;

No. 9 bye.

Zhang Haoran got up and glanced at the note with Ye Luo, and then confirmed: "Let's be the last one?" ”

"Hmm."

Ye Luo continued to browse through some of the annotations on the note, where in addition to the rules of the match, it was nothing more than the rules of the game.

After a long while, Ye Luo finally raised his head, looked around, and then sat back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief......

"What, you're starting to get nervous?" Zhang Haoran lifted the frame of his glasses and asked Ye Luo with a smile.

Ye Luo clasped his hands in front of his chest, crossed Erlang's legs, and said truthfully: "I didn't feel anything just now, but now that I'm about to play, I'm really a little nervous in my heart......"

Because it took a little time to draw lots, after the lottery, the person in charge walked up to the basketball court with a loudspeaker, stood near the free throw line and urged: "The game is about to start!" Players No. 1 and No. 5 are invited to warm up! ”

"Let's go! Play! ”

There was an exhilarating sound in the shade under the tent, causing Ye Luo and Zhang Haoran to look back, only to see a familiar stinky face, which was the young man who had been open-mouthed when he asked Ye Luo for the ball before.

"Huh! Ye Luo, look, the first scene is them! ”

Zhang Haoran unscrupulously pointed at the young man who took the lead in the front, but lowered his voice and said to Ye Luo: "It's a pity, I finally met an abusive face...... It's time to leave it to someone else to clean up. ”

"You put your hands down!" Ye Luo hurriedly pulled Zhang Haoran's arm, "I don't care about it, so don't let it go." If they are really capable, it won't be too late for us to beat them again in the finals! ”

"Humph!" Rolling his eyes, Zhang Haoran turned his face and muttered like a child: "That's it!" ”

The so-called warm-up is nothing more than getting players from both sides on the pitch to confirm the information.

The unabashedly young man and his diminutive brother stepped forward to briefly confirm the information, and then walked away.

Then two players from the other team also stepped forward to confirm the information, and it was correct.

Finally, with a whistle from the person in charge, the game is about to begin!

The open-mouthed young man guessed heads and tails of the coin on his side, and the young man got the first attack.

"Ye Luo, it's not exciting to sit here and watch the game! I'm going to the front! ”

Zhang Haoran said that he would leave, leaving Ye Luo alone under the tent was also bored, so he got up and followed Zhang Haoran out.

The open-mouthed young man put the basketball at his feet, and then took off his loose white T-shirt with a big grin, revealing a red basketball jersey with white roads inside.

"Yo! The Rockets' away jersey yes! ”

In Zhang Haoran's opinion: if the empty young man can show a McGrady name behind him, at least he still has a little taste and pursuit.

When the unabashed young man turned around, Zhang Haoran suddenly saw Harden's name behind him, and he even pointed to the number on the jersey and laughed.

"! True ...... Ye Luo, look at the number 13, it doesn't look like a B of 2B! Haha......"

However, before the words fell, a hoarse shout suddenly appeared in the crowd, and listening to the content, it was obvious that he was rushing to Zhang Hao: "I said! What are you screaming about! If you want to see it, you can watch it, and if you don't watch it, you can get out! We Harden recruited you to mess with you?! ”

Here!

Woe comes from the mouth.

Zhang Haoran obviously inadvertently provoked James Harden's fans, and already expressed strong dissatisfaction with him, faced with this situation, Ye Luo immediately covered Zhang Haoran's stinky mouth and advised: "You shut up for me!" Don't make trouble! ”
