When it was time to part, Wang Yang, who had endured for a long time, finally said the request in his heart: "Xiao Chen, I want to return to the Lianfeng team and fight side by side with you again, is it okay?" ”

"Me too!" "I want to too!"

Hearing Wang Yang's words, almost at the same time, Du Zhihao and Li Jianfeng also said the same.

Of course, whether to let the three of them return to the team should have been decided by team leader Ye Zhijie, but Wang Yang and they all knew the importance of Ning Chen in the team, if he didn't nod, even if Ye Zhijie agreed, it would be useless.

Ning Chen sighed deeply, "Of course I welcome you to come back, but not now, because the time is not yet ripe." ”

At first, Wang Yang and the three of them were ecstatic when they heard Ning Chen say that they were welcome back, but after hearing his words later, their mood immediately fell to the bottom like a jumping machine.

"Xiao Chen, why? We want to hear from you. Wang Yang said urgently.

"It's very simple, because there is a threshold in front of our Lianfeng team now, this is the threshold that we must cross by ourselves, and when we can really cross it, that is when you come back." Ning Chen finally gave his answer.

"Is it Class 9 of the third year of junior high school? I understand that it's hard to beat each other with your current lineup, so if the three of us join us, we can definitely win. Wang Yang said unrelentingly.

"Half a year, you give me half a year, we will defeat those guys in the 9th class of the third year of junior high school before they graduate, if we still can't do it by then, then I won't stop you from coming back."

Ning Chen's promise finally made the three of them not refute, because they could feel the firmness and confidence in the former's eyes. For some reason, they all believed that he could do it.

With mixed feelings, the four said goodbye and separated, and then they slowly ran home.

Today, Ning Chen not only met Wang Yang, Du Zhihao and Li Jianfeng, but on the way back, he met many teammates of the Lianfeng team one after another, including several former teammates who left the team, so it also confirmed that what Du Zhihao and Li Jianfeng said earlier was true, and they did go for a run on Sunday after graduation.

The next day, Lianfeng Primary School ushered in the first day of classes in 1988, and the members of Lianfeng Team also ushered in their most hellish days. At Ning Chen's suggestion, most of these children who were only eleven or twelve years old began to train the devil, although it was hard, but under the leadership of Ning Chen, they were all willing, because all of this was to prepare for the victory over the 9th class of the third junior high school.

Running, running, running, they run at least four steps in a day, including the morning journey to school; the journey home from school and the journey to school at noon; In the end, the longest part was the more than hour-long journey to Linhan Middle School after school in the afternoon.

The players of the Lianfeng team almost exhausted every minute and second of their spare time to exercise, sit-ups and push-ups, which are of course essential to enhance strength and muscles, compared with the players of the 9th class of junior high school, they lost in the confrontation of height and strength, and in terms of technology and team cooperation, they are absolutely superior to each other.

Height is determined by age and innateness, they understand that no matter how hard they try, they will not catch up in half a year, or even surpass others, therefore, they can only focus on strength, speed and endurance, and in terms of ball skills, there is a genius such as Ning Chen to teach, as time passes, they are more and more confident that they can defeat each other before the designated day.

Soon, May came in an instant, during this time, except for the Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve, the first day of the Lunar New Year to the third day of the Lunar New Year are to stop training, the rest of the more than 100 days, whether there is supervision or not, they are very active and consciously complete the daily personal training, especially in the winter vacation, because there is no school, so it is even more excessive.

On May 4, 1988, at Linhan Middle School, when I came back from the May Day holiday, the lazy appearance of the students was completely gone, and I want to know what the reason is? That is, there is a wonderful basketball game in the afternoon of the school, which can be said to be the farewell game before the graduation of the 9th class of the third year of junior high school, because after this game, they will concentrate on studying and preparing for the high school entrance examination.

However, although the farewell game of Class 9 of the third year of junior high school was played on the surface, the students of Linhan Middle School knew in their hearts that this was actually the revenge battle of the basketball team of Lianfeng Primary School, which was popular in the school.

Under the observation of the first half of the year, how much the strength of the Lianfeng team has improved is obvious to all, especially every afternoon after school, when they saw the scene of each other running to school outside the school, they were deeply moved by Ning Chen and others, is this really some primary school students? This kind of perseverance is something that few adults can have.

In fact, the most shocked people in Lin Han Middle School were not others, but the team members of Class 9 of the third junior high school, although they wanted to respond to the people of the Lianfeng team with practical actions after knowing about it, but they had no choice but to take the high school entrance examination as it approached, even if they were willing to give up getting good grades and not go to revision and go to training, it would require the consent of their teachers and parents.

At 5:40 p.m., after more than four months of running and exercising, everyone in the Lianfeng team finally made a breakthrough today, that is, they ran from Lianfeng Primary School to Linhan Middle School in less than 40 minutes.

Although the school has just finished school not long ago, the field of the game is already crowded, and even the opponent of the game, the players of the 9th class of the third junior high school, have already come here, in order to respect the Lianfeng team who is worthy of their respect, they deliberately left school ten minutes early, but fortunately, they finally got the permission of the head teacher.

The warm-up Ning Chen and they had already finished, rested for fifteen minutes, and after everyone's breath was completely stable, the game was about to start.

"Team Lianfeng will win! For the glory of our past, fight~~"

The stirring shout before the game made the students of Lin Han Middle School who watched it also enthusiastic, and all of them did not expect the Lianfeng team to redeem this sentence, but just hoped that the other party could dedicate the most exciting game for themselves.

When the whistle sounded, Liang Zhifeng and Li Mingming, the center forwards of both sides, jumped up immediately, and the result did not need to guess to know that compared to Liang Zhifeng, who was only 1.62 meters, of course, the latter with more than 1.8 meters jumped to win.

However, winning the jump does not mean that the ball is in the hands of Class 9 of the third junior high school, on the contrary, when everyone thought that the ball would fall smoothly into the hands of Zhang Xinjie, the point guard of Class 9, a palm that often appears at this moment finally appeared.

The ball fell in his hand, while Ning Chen slapped the ball away, he snatched the ball into his hand in time, I don't know if it was out of trust, or if he still had a good idea, I saw that Long Ganbo, the scoring guard of the Lianfeng team, had already run to the front court, Ning Chen did not have even the slightest hesitation, threw it hard, and the ball flew to Long Ganbo quickly and accurately like a cannonball, and after receiving the ball, he immediately scored a two-and-a-half-step layup.
