Chapter 20: The Contest Begins
That day Ran Guangsong entered the hospital, the old man came to see him, he was very depressed, but the old man did not have any words to comfort Ran Guangsong, just said a few words coldly: "Ran Guangsong, in fact, I was also abandoned by the court back then, I can still choose other careers, but I gave up those good careers, but I chose to be a basketball coach, do you know why I want to be a coach?"
Because I want to win, I'm more hungry to win than my players, I'm probably happier than the players who win, I'm more excited than their players when I play. I can tell you clearly that seeing the players I train win is a success, a pride, and a pleasure. ”
After saying that, he left the hospital without looking back, this is a stubborn old man, he will never give encouragement to anyone. But his words were a bomb in Ran Guangsong's heart, and Ran Guangsong's heart was suddenly exploded by him.
So Ran Guangsong made a choice, the same choice as the old man. He came to his alma mater as a coach, and at that time he didn't realize the kind of longing that the old man said, but as time went by. Finally he felt the desire, the desire to win, which had surpassed almost everything, and gradually, he found the feeling of the words that the old man had said.
Winning is a success, a pride, and a pleasure. But what he wants most is for him to win every game, whether it is an official match or not, even if it is a friendly match, he has never thought of this game as a friendly match, not only is he arrogant when he is young, he is also arrogant when he is old. He has always believed that every game is a coach of a championship game, and that is a qualified coach.
Ran Guangsong sighed slightly, and then he said, "I was not only arrogant when I was young, but I am also arrogant now. You're right, I want to win, even better than any player. ”
"No, you can't get past me. I don't think you can get past me. Yu Yang interrupted him, and the two looked at each other. Ran Guangsong saw that persistence, that arrogance, and that pride were all in the eyes of this young man.
Yu Yang also saw the persistence, the desire, and the honor in the eyes of this middle-aged man. Perhaps the biggest gap between them is age, if they are teammates, they are in the same era, then they will be brothers, they will be unions, they will be the proudest and most glorious Chinese.
Ran Guangsong retracted his gaze, he patted Yu Yang's arm, and said with a stiff smile on his face, "Someone is looking for you." As he spoke, he pointed to a girl who was walking towards him, it was Luo Ying, who was looking at Yu Yang with a smile on her face.
Luo Ying shouted at Yu Yang, "Yu Yang, are you about to start?" ”
Yu Yang squeezed out an embarrassed smile on his face and said, "It's about to start, what's wrong?" ”
"Here's for you." Saying that, Luo Ying handed out a bottle of Red Bull, and Yu Yang took it. She was still holding a bottle in her other hand, and she handed it to Ran Guangsong on the side and said, "Coach Ran, this is for you, I used to hear my father mention you." ”
Ran Guangsong took a good look at this girl, who does she look a little like? "Oh! I know, Lao Luo, you are Lao Luo's daughter, right? Ran Guangsong suddenly pointed at Luo Ying and exclaimed.
Luo Ying nodded and said, "Yes, Coach Ran, I am Lao Luo's daughter." My name is Luo Ying. ”
Ran Guangsong took Luo Ying's Red Bull, and then said with a smile: "Call me Uncle Ran, don't call me Coach Ran." It doesn't sound kind enough, you may not know that Lao Luo and I are iron buddies. This is the first time Ran Guangsong has said so many words.
Luo Ying sat down and talked to him, and Yu Yang was like an outsider at the moment, and he reluctantly got up from there and walked towards the court.
The two put on some homely things, and then
…………
Ran Guangsong's smile covered the seriousness just now, and he asked, "By the way, Yu Yang and you are?" ”
"We are classmates." Luo Ying hurriedly said, but there was still a little excitement on her face.
Ran Guangsong: "Oh! He sighed, and then his face became a little pensive. Luo Ying asked in a low voice, "Uncle Ran, do you say Yu Yang is good?" ”
Ran Guangsong guessed correctly, the relationship between Luo Ying and him was really unusual, especially when the two made eye contact just now. Thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Yu Yang, that's good." But if you want to get along, I don't agree. Ran Guangsong said it categorically.
"Why? Uncle Ran. Luo Ying's words were a little excited.
Ran Guangsong said coldly: "Because you don't know him, including me, I don't know him." Saying that, Ran Guangsong put his eyes on Yu Yang on the court, Luo Ying looked at Yu Yang in confusion, her eyes were full of puzzlement.
…………
"Hello everyone, today is a friendly basketball match between ** Sports College and our school, and everyone applauds and welcomes ** Sports College." The voice of the commentary rang out, and then there was a round of applause in the gymnasium.
"Toot!" The sound of the whistle sounded, and it was the referee of the school's referee team, and it could be seen that the school still attached great importance to this game.
Since both sides did not understand the strength of the other side, Ran Guangsong looked at the twelve players wearing black jerseys and said: "We don't know the strength of both sides, we can only play one game first, let's see and then arrange tactics." As for the starting players, I'll specify them, if it's not suitable, we'll change it when the game comes. ”
The twelve players all nodded and looked at Ran Guangsong, and Xu Hao also looked at Yu Yang with contempt, their contradictions had not yet been resolved. Yu Yang didn't pay attention to Xu Hao, because now is the game, and only the game is the most important thing for him.
Ran Guangsong said: "Yu Yang, Xu Hao, Zhang Wang, Liu Ran, Lu Fei. The five of you start, pay attention to the position, Yu Yang point guard, Lu Fei scoring guard. Xu Hao small forward, Zhang Wang big forward, Liu Ran center. Also, the first quarter was average, and I'll see how your strength is. ”
A few people nodded, "Hmm! In response, Ran Guangsong patted Yu Yang beside him and said, "Go ahead, remember for yourself." What kind of game it was. Yu Yang nodded firmly and walked up. Luo Ying also pulled a little "relationship", she sat on the stool where the players rested, and looked at the court with a smile on her face.
The two sides stood in the middle of the court to fight for the ball, their players were wearing red uniforms, and there were No. 8 among the players on the field, this is a center forward, more than 2 meters tall, not short than Liu Ran. There is also No. 1, which is a defender, who is about the same height as Yu Yang. No. 3 is a shooting guard. No. 5 small forward, No. 7 power forward.
(The number of jerseys of Yu Yang's players, Wang Xiaofeng No. 1, Yu Yang No. 3, Peng Bang No. 8, Zhang Wang No. 9, Li Hua No. 30, Liu Ran No. 18, Xu Hao No. 8, Chen Nuohui No. 11, Zhang Yi No. 17, Lu Fei No. 7, Jian Ning No. 5, Jiang Kun No. 4.) )
The two sides were already in their positions, and there were cheers and applause on the pitch, but everything was a cloud in the hearts of the players. Only basketball is their centerpiece, and the referee's whistle is their voice. Ran Guangsong sat calmly on the seat, his expression couldn't show nervousness, I don't know why? He always felt that Yu Yang would bring him some surprises, and he had to say that he had never trusted a person so much in all his years.
"Toot!" The whistle sounded, and the referee said: "** Sports Academy attack the left, Yenjing ** Sports University attack the right." After saying that, he threw the ball in the air, and Liu Ran and the opponent's No. 8 jumped up at the same time. The hand slapped the ball at the same time, and Liu Ran slapped the ball into Xu Hao's hand with more strength.
Xu Hao handed the ball to Yu Yang, Yu Yang held the ball in the middle line, came to the three-point line, and held the ball at 90 degrees. The opposing defender is No. 1, and No. 1 has his hands outstretched, looking nervous. "Yu Yang, here." Xu Hao looked at Yu Yang at 45 degrees and said, Yu Yang passed over.
Xu Hao stopped with the ball, and the opponent's No. 5 also opened his hands and prepared to defend. Xu Hao dribbled under his crotch, he looked at Liu Ran under the basket, Liu Ran turned his back to the opponent's No. 8, he clapped his hands and said, "Inside, come." Xu Hao personally still believes in Liu Ran, he passes the ball in a low position, and Liu Ran looks like he is playing with his back.
At this time, Yu Yang swayed from side to side to pass the other party's block, and he rushed to the inside line to clap his hands and said, "Come on, Liu Ran." When Liu Ran saw Yu Yang, he immediately passed the ball, and Yu Yang quickly hit the basket and easily hooked up for the layup. The opponent has not yet reacted, and the goal has been scored without defending.
Liu Ran stretched out his hand and patted Yu Yang, what they want on the court is this kind of cooperation, they will not have any contradictions on the court. There was immediately a burst of applause and sighs on the field, the corners of Ran Guangsong's mouth twitched, revealing a natural smile, and he said to himself: "The first goal was really scored by him, not bad." I didn't look at the wrong person. ”
Luo Ying clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Yu Yang, come on!" She also heard the classmates of Class 9 also cheering for Yu Yang.
The defender facing the defender who held the ball 45 degrees outside the No. 1 three-point line on the court was Yu Yang, who had just scored two points, and he said with a smile: "Classmate, you played well." "Yu Yang" yes! He nodded and said, "Come on." ”
No. 1 was about to shake people, he swayed from side to side, and Yu Yang moved with his movements. He suddenly made a crotch return and passed the ball in the crotch. The big man on the inside No. 8 hit Liu Ran with his back, and Liu Ran was struggling to defend. Then the No. 8 big man shot with an oblique hook hand, and the sky hook. The ball was scored, and such a goal has to be reminiscent of the NBA's "Sky Hook" Abdul-Jabbar.
There was applause off the court, Liu Ran served to Yu Yang on the bottom line, he slapped his leg with some self-blame, Yu Yang said: "It's okay, Tiangou is not easy to defend, don't say it's you, even the NBA players can't prevent it." Liu Ran: "Hmm! He nodded.
Yu Yang came to the position just outside the three-point line at 90°, the bottom line was empty for Lu Fei, and Yu Yang passed the ball to Lu Fei. Lu Fei made a decisive shot outside the three-point line, the ball hit the iron and did not go in, and Liu Ran struggled to rebound. The opponent's No. 8 was relatively strong and got the rebound, but Liu Ran slapped the ball and the ball flew out.
"Toot!" The referee's whistle sounded, and it was the opponent's sideline ball. No. 1 continued to attack with the ball, and he quickly handed it to No. 3. A pitching action outside the No. 3 three-point line, Lu Fei jumped up to block and was deceived, No. 3 suddenly broke through and rushed into the inner line, Zhang Wang on the inside line jumped up to block, and he just hit No. 3's hand.
"Toot!" The batter fouled, but fortunately the ball didn't go in, and he made two free throws, and No. 3 came to the free throw line to make free throws, and some of the spectators off the court were their fans. They shouted under the basket: "** Sports Academy, come on!" …………”
One of the two free throws, the feel is okay, and then Yu Yang attacks with the ball, and he dribbles under his crotch. A person shook left and right, and then turned around and passed the opponent's No. 1, and the player defending Xu Hao rushed up to stop Yu Yang from a mid-distance. Yu Yang saw that Xu Hao had an empty position in the middle distance, he clapped his hands and asked for the ball, and Yu Yang passed the ball behind his back and rushed to the basket, because he couldn't stop. The opponent did not stop, and the two players chased him to the basket together.
Xu Hao unguarded mid-range shooting, this ball hollowed into the basket, 4:3. He smiled at Yu Yang and patted his chest. Yu Yang also threw a smile at him.
