Chapter 39: The Comeback
The next morning, although it was still summer vacation, Ning Chen still got up very early, and when he went out to get ready to run, he happened to meet Ning Haibo.
"Dad! Going to work so early? ”
"Son! So are you! Came back so late last night and didn't sleep a little more today? ”
After the two fathers and sons shushed and asked for a few words, suddenly Ning Chen had an idea: to experiment with the editor's eye.
Immediately, an invisible and colorless light of energy was emitted from the former's eyes, and instantly penetrated into Ning Haibo's body, and soon, a piece of information appeared in Ning Chen's mind: comprehensive 21, physical strength 45, strength 34, speed 43......
"Alas! Dad is really not bad. ”
After watching Ning Haibo's physical fitness and various statistics in basketball, Ning Chen, as a son, had to lie to himself, which is also his weakness.
"Stinky boy! Why are you looking at me? Ning Haibo's words immediately sobered Ning Chen from his contemplation, and the latter hurriedly explained: "It's nothing! I was just in a daze, don't talk to you, Dad, I'm going for a run. ”
"This kid!"
Looking at his son's distant back, Ning Haibo could only smile helplessly, and then he locked the door and went to work.
In the evening, on the basketball court in Lianfeng Village, the players of the Lianfeng team routinely gathered here to train again, which is the place where they train together during the summer vacation when Linhan Middle School is not open.
"Listen, everyone, since Xiao Chen has already spoken in front of everyone last night, then we can only strengthen our training in the next year, don't lose face in front of others, do you understand?"
"Understood~" Including Ning Chen, everyone didn't think about it, and answered Ye Zhijie's question in unison.
Seeing his teammates supporting him so much, although Ning Chen didn't say anything, he couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in his heart.
The editor's eyes opened, and he wanted to see what the shortcomings of Xu Jianhua and the others were, so as to start increasing their training in that area, which was the only thing that Ning Chen could repay them.
Transparent light shot out, including Ye Zhijie, all the members of the Lianfeng team were scanned by it one by one, and after spending a few minutes sorting out everyone's data, Ning Chen found that everyone was the youngest Xu Jianhua at the level of various techniques, the most average and comprehensive, but unfortunately his physical fitness was also the worst.
After learning about their situation, Ning Chen began to silently plan the future training course for everyone present.
The days passed slowly in everyone's hard work, and soon, a year passed quickly. Ning Chen and Xu Jianhua are already ten years old this year, and they will be fourth-grade students in more than a month of waiting. And Wang Yang, Du Zhihao, and Li Jianfeng also just graduated from junior high school and are about to go to high school.
Looking back on this year, Linhan Middle School can be said to be full of glory, because at the beginning of the year, they participated in the middle school basketball game in D City for the first time with the middle school team of W Town, and successfully won the championship.
In addition to these big and small games, their Lianfeng team will also represent W Town again to compete in the basketball open in D City, this year's lineup and last year's lineup has not changed much, but there are five people such as Hua Tuohai and Kang Dejian, all of which are played by 15 people from the Lianfeng team.
After almost a year of growth, Ning Chen's people not only have made great progress in their individual skills and overall cooperation, but the most important thing is that their height and strength have risen significantly, such as Du Zhihao and Li Jianfeng, the two twin towers, at this time, the height of the two has skyrocketed to 1.98 meters and 1.95 meters, and their weight is 101 kg and 100 kg, so there should be room for improvement in momentum. This is also the main reason why they can really replace the five people of Hua Tuohai.
On August 1, 1990, the new basketball open tournament in D city kicked off again on this day, before the competition, the audience and friends from all over the city were discussing a topic, that is, Ning Chen's bold ambition in the previous year, and whether he could redeem his promise after this competition.
Under everyone's expectations, W Town managed to reach the semi-finals twenty days later, and at this time they were still in front of the team that stopped them in the semi-finals last year - East Tiger Town. recalled the-for-tat confrontation between Ning Chen and Gu Zhiqiang when they presented awards in the past, which couldn't help but ignite the enthusiasm and curiosity of the audience.
"Gu Zhiqiang, 1.96 meters tall and weighing 109 kilograms...... Power 62, Speed 54...... Overall evaluation 48. ”
Looking at the data displayed in his mind, Ning Chen nodded secretly and whispered: "It's not bad, but there is still a gap between Zhihao and Jianfeng now, especially basketball IQ and willpower." ”
After scanning the data of the starting five players in Donghu Town with the "Editor's Eye" one by one, Ning Chen finally had the confidence to win this game, because even the weaker players such as Xu Jianhua and Mo Xiqi on his side were not too worried compared to the reserve players of Donghu Town.
The whistle sounded, and the ball was thrown up by the referee, and then, two huge figures jumped up almost at the same time, "Bang!" With a bang, the ball just flew into the hand of a slightly short figure among the ten people on the field, and the owner of this figure was Ning Chen.
As soon as the ball reached his feet, he immediately picked up his pace, and without the slightest pause, he dribbled past the three opposing players who came to defend him, and then came back to make a step-back jumper to score two points for W.
About 20 seconds passed, and Gu Zhiqiang, who was holding the ball under the basket, made a hurried shot, but unfortunately what he got was just a hot pot from Gu Zhihao, and he fell to the ground comically.
“bi~”
Seeing this scene, the referee's whistle sounded immediately, and then he made a foul action on behalf of the player's beater towards the statistics table, and then raised two fingers to signal Gu Zhiqiang to make two free throws.
"Faint! Is that referee blind? It's obviously a beautiful block, since he dares to say it's a foul. ”
"Yes! I can also see very clearly that people haven't touched him even the slightest. ”
"Yes, yes, where is the bad referee, get out of the field and plow the field!"
This penalty immediately brought dissatisfaction from a few spectators who happened to stay outside the court very close to the basket, although the referee pretended to be fine, but his heart at this time was extremely annoyed, just now he did not really see Du Zhihao foul, just saw Gu Zhiqiang fall to the ground and impulsively blew the former beater, but at this moment, even if he knew that he was wrong, but he could not change the punishment, otherwise it would greatly affect his refereeing career.
Including the victim Du Zhihao, all the players and coaches in W Town ran to the referee and argued with the other party with an aggrieved face, even if they knew that this would not have any effect, but at least it could make the former dare not blow the whistle indiscriminately the next time he blew the penalty.
Two free throws and one hit, Gu Zhiqiang's free throw level is not very high, so this is also the reason why other teams deliberately asked him to foul in the past few games specifically for his weak free throw shooting rate.
After this small episode, instead of weakening Ning Chen's momentum, it burned their fighting spirit even more. First, Ning Chen used an ultra-long-distance three-point shot in the next round to return to Donghu Town; Then Wang Yang used a few gorgeous step-down dribbles, and after shaking the defenders dizzy, he then made a mid-range jumper to solve the battle; Then the last particularly exciting scene happened, that is, Du Zhihao, who had been wronged before, faced Gu Zhiqiang's defense, and came to a strong clasp with both hands, and the latter fell to the ground again.
“bi~”
The familiar and annoying whistle sounded again, and it was the referee just now, but his next action eased the anger on the faces of the audience, because this time the action he made in his hand was no longer aimed at Gu Zhihao, but on the contrary, this time he also blew a thug foul, but the object of the blow was replaced by Gu Zhiqiang.
Letting go of the hands that grabbed the basket, Du Zhihao fell back to the ground, looking at the still rickety basket, coupled with the penalty just now, the audience outside the court finally couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, and the audience immediately resounded with a thunderous cheer!
