At the reception on the first floor of the office building of the Lianfeng Community Neighborhood Committee, Chen Rongfu was looking up at a big red pennant hanging on the wall, especially when he saw the "first place" written on the flag, he couldn't help but have a happy smile on his face, yes, this is the champion pennant awarded to the Lianfeng community by W Town.

"Well, the more you look at it, the better it looks, Lao Ye, do you say yes?"

"Yes! In the past ten years since our town held a basketball game, it is the first time that our Lianfeng community has won the championship. ”

Hearing Secretary Chen's words, a burly middle-aged man standing beside him also said with deep feelings, this person is Ye Dongming, the director of the Lianfeng community.

"Huh! Don't think that this is the end of it, with Ning Chen's group of young new forces joining, the champion of W Town in the next ten years, or even twenty years, must be in the bag of our Lianfeng community. ”

"That's right! In this way, the two of us can make a big face in front of the other secretaries and directors. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Rongfu and Ye Dongming both burst out laughing, and smug expressions were written on their faces.

After the competition, because the Lianfeng community won the basketball championship of this year's W Town, this brought greater fame to Ning Chen and others, and also made them get a generous bonus of several hundred yuan, although several elementary school students like Ning Chen, most of the money they shared was handed over to their parents, but the rest was enough for the Lianfeng team to spend various miscellaneous expenses in the future.

Similarly, as the coach of the Lianfeng community basketball team, Ye Zhijie also received a few hundred yuan, and almost all the money he spent on the Lianfeng team in the past was earned back at one time.

However, as Chen Rongfu said before: don't think that this is the end of it. But this does not mean that he has not won enough championships as he said, but that the journey of the Lianfeng team has not ended here, because they are often invited to participate in competitions of all sizes and categories in the days after the year. For example, some corporate basketball games in the town, the Water Association Cup (basketball game between waterworks) in City D, the street basketball game and 3x3 basketball game in City D, etc., and the teams with their presence all won the best rankings.

Therefore, today, the Lianfeng team finally does not need their teacher and coach Ye Zhijie, as well as the physical education teachers of Lin Han Middle School, to pay out of their pockets, and now Ning Chen is already a little rich, and each of them has a net worth of not a thousand, that is also eight or nine hundred.

Although the games came one after another, one of them was something that Ning Chen and others had to pay attention to, that is, the 1989 D City Basketball Open held in August, because the Lianfeng team performed well in this year's W Town Basketball Game, so this year's town team made an exception for all 15 people to join together, but the premise is also the same as the previous Lianfeng community, unless the game enters garbage time, primary school players like Xu Jianhua rarely have the opportunity to play.

In addition to the 15 members of the Lianfeng team, there are also 5 other players in the W Town basketball team, namely Hua Tuohai, the main center of the Longmen community, and Kang Dejian, the scoring guard of the Tianyi Bay community, Chen Xiangguang, the big forward and Xiang Shaohua, the small forward, and Liu Liyang, the scoring guard of the Xiaohe community.

With the addition of W Town, there are a total of 31 towns under the jurisdiction of D City, and the preliminary round of this competition is also in the form of a group stage, and then the two teams with the highest points in each group will advance to the quarterfinals, which is almost no different from the basketball game in W Town.

Half a month later, the W town basketball team successfully advanced to the quarterfinals with the first place in the group, and three days later, they defeated Chang'an Town, the second seed in Group D, in the knockout round, and advanced to the semifinals.

Just when Wu Guobang, the secretary of W Town, was complacent, Ning Chen and the others met a really difficult opponent, that is, the top seed in Group B, Donghu Town.

In the whole game, W Town was completely pressed and beaten by the opponent, this is the top basketball level of D City, whether it is height, weight and technology (except for Ning Chen), his own side is not at the same level as others, relying on the tacit understanding of cooperation, as well as Ning Chen's personal outstanding performance, in the end, W Town still lost 65:77.

This is the first defeat of the Lianfeng team since losing to the 9th class of the previous junior high school of Lin Han Middle School, it has been more than a year since that game, although it is a loss, but Ning Chen They are not in a low mood like last time, because they all understand their shortcomings at the moment, which cannot be made up for in one or two days.

It's finally August 25th, the last day of the Open Basketball Tournament in D-City, and there will be two games tonight, the first one for the third place, and the remaining one for the championship.

W Town Basketball Team VS North and South Town Basketball Team, because the strength of both sides is very close, so the game has begun for a short time, the scores of the two teams are still in a state of stalemate, after Ye Zhijie called a few pauses to arrange tactics, W Town was finally able to gradually pull the score apart, this is the benefit of having a coach, especially the coach who has led them for so long.

At the end of the game, W Town defeated North and South Town 74-66 to win the third place in this year's D City Basketball Open, which is also the best result since W Town held a basketball game in the city.

Next, the last game is the much-anticipated finals, by Donghu Town against Mingxi Town, which is the two teams that have appeared in the finals the most times in recent years, and in the past competition, Mingxi Town has won more times, so this year's momentum of Donghu Town will never give up the championship to the other party again.

At the beginning of the game, the center forwards of both sides were also more than 1.9 meters tall, but they were slightly better than the center forwards of the bounce or Naruto team, so the former won the jump ball.

"Tuohai, Zhihao, Zhifeng, Jianfeng and Jianzhong, the five of you are all the same center, and you are all optimistic about how others play, so that you will know how to deal with them again in the future."

In the rest area of the W Town basketball team outside the court, Ye Zhijie looked at the centers of the two teams on the court and spoke to the five centers of his team.

"Coach Ye is right, all of you are optimistic about the game, although our town can win the third place this year, this can't be proud."

At this time, Wu Guobang, the town secretary who was standing on the side, also answered, but from the joy on his face, everyone understood that he was just his façade, and he must have been satisfied in his heart to get this ranking, and there was nothing else to ask for.

Hearing Wu Guobang's words, Ning Chen, who was sitting on the stone bench, flattened his mouth and said, "Of course, in less than two years, we will definitely be able to lead W Town to win the championship of D City." Secretary Wu, you remember what I said now, if I can't do it, I will leave the team immediately. ”

"This~ doesn't need to be said to be so serious about leaving the team, in fact, it's already very good to have a third. He~he! ”

Wu Guobang was stunned for Ning Chen, so he immediately played a round. The latter did not answer him, and quietly continued to watch the game going on on the field.
