Chapter 1 Xiyang No. 1 Middle School
Xiyang is not a sunset, Xiyang is a place name.
Located in Xiyang City, Jiangsu Province, the climate is mild, the rainfall is abundant, the air is humid, and the four seasons are distinct. The rapid development in recent years has made Xiyang a bright pearl on the shore of the East China Sea.
And the most commendable thing is that the city of Xiyang has a unique strong basketball atmosphere. There are often fans who say "South Dongguan, North Xiyang", and the resounding basketball fame of Xiyang can be seen from this.
Walking down the streets of Xiyang, it seems to be no different from other urban plans in China. But once you go deep into the streets and alleys, you will see open-air basketball courts developed by the Xiyang Municipal Government. In the scorching sun of Gaoyang, you can see the young people of Xiyang swaying their youth on this land in the barbed wire, and they are indescribably freehand and passionate. Legend has it that the mayor of Xiyang City is a die-hard NBA fan and has been very active about the national fitness in Xiyang City.
Every year, Xiyang City holds a basketball game that is indiscriminate between the units of the whole city.
What is "no difference"? It means that there is no limit to age, occupation, or unit. These three are like opening all the conditions for the national examination, especially when they know that there are still a lot of bonuses, which immediately makes the people of Xiyang City rush to it, and each unit has set up a basketball team, which usually goes to practice, which greatly promotes the government plan of Xiyang City's national fitness movement.
However, it has been held for two years, but it has been won by a group of half-grown children from Xiyang No. 1 Middle School every year.
This is a very incredible thing, because Xiyang No. 1 Middle School is a key middle school in Xiyang City, according to reason, they do not have more spare time to participate in training, and there is basically no subtle cooperation, out of any formalized tactics, but their strength has always been at the top of the list, recognized as the strongest in Xiyang.
Now, it is the third year of the Basketball Tournament Finals.
This year, the center of Xiyang spent a lot of money to renovate and build a luxury stadium, which can accommodate more than 10,000 spectators. It is said that it has been requisitioned by the Provincial Sports Commission, and it is very likely to become one of the home stadiums of Jiangsu Nangang next year. But now, the first time they are used are the local people in Xiyang.
In the center of the gymnasium, Mayor Xiyang smiled. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he pointed to the two people who were warming up on the field, and quietly asked the little secretary on the side, "Why didn't you see Wenlong's kid today?" He won't fail to come to such an important game, right? So many citizens are waiting to see him perform! ”
"Mayor." The little secretary squatted down and said in his ear: "There is news from Xiyang No. 1 Middle School, saying that there is a traffic jam on Wenlong Road, and you may not be able to catch up in the first half!" ”
The mayor's face darkened, and he said with a straight face: "Why is there still a traffic jam here?" In the past few years, I have been vigorously rectifying our road construction in Xiyang! ”
The little secretary was also a little embarrassed on his face, but he still replied stubbornly: "Mayor, this is the rush hour after work." ”
"Oh~~" The mayor realized, he thought for a while, and then said to the little secretary: "Go, notify the Tang Bureau, let him step up some manpower, and send a few more policemen at various points where traffic is easy to be congested!" Really, my son is not active in the game! ”
The little secretary wiped the sweat from his face and nodded in response: "Okay mayor, I'll go and inform." "Wait!" The mayor seemed to remember something again, and when the little secretary took two steps, he called out to him.
The little secretary was shocked by the mayor's heart attack, but he still accompanied him with his most sincere smile and asked softly, "Is there anything else, mayor?" “
The mayor was a little embarrassed, and patted the little secretary on the shoulder: "Xiao Li, help me buy a box of chewing gum, it's not good to smoke in public places, chew some green arrows to suppress smoking addiction." “
The little secretary smiled bitterly, nodded and smiled: "Okay mayor, there is no problem." “
At this time, under the stands, the spectators are entering the hall one after another. Ninety percent of the people here are natives of Xiyang, with the largest number of students and organized workers, but there are also some unfamiliar faces and even some strange-looking foreign friends.
Joe Thomas was one of them, an old foreign man with a somewhat gray beard, who looked somewhat kind, somewhat shrewd, and somewhat messy.
His official job is as an English translator or English teacher for travels around the world, and of course, he also has a decent part-time job as a scout for the NBA, the highest league in basketball.
He is currently playing for the Knicks and has a scouting rating of B, which is nothing compared to the S scouts in the NCAA and high schools across the United States. So far, he has unearthed a total of two NBA stars, one is Fred Jones and the other is Maddy Collins? Well, he's also often boasted that Zach Randolph, the current Knicks star, was pushed to the Big Apple by his push.
Even so, Thomas has always been adamant that he is a good scout, and he has his pride.
Why did he arrange for him to work extra when he was enjoying an ancient Chinese holiday? Thomas was particularly upset, feeling that he hadn't been taken seriously enough by the Knicks, and it seemed necessary to sit down with them and talk to them when he returned. "Oh my God, let me watch an amateur basketball game? Or is it an amateur ball game in China? Thomas held his head and made a broken look, "Shit, what kind of bastard idea?" “
On the Zhonghe Bridge in Xiyang, the traffic that used to come and go has stopped.
It was rush hour after work, and for some reason, the vehicle in front of me did not move, the entire road was paralyzed, and the ant-like vehicles were blocked on the road, unable to move at all. "Driver, can you be faster? I have something very important! “
Inside a blocked taxi, a good-looking boy spoke, his head peeking out of the window, looking left and right, as if looking for a way to get the taxi into the gap in front of him. "Oh, boy, I can't help it! You see that the jam is like this, I can't overtake the thirteen langs of the three-ring drag race, I'm really sorry! The driver's uncle took the time to smoke a cigarette, spit out a puff of smoke rings, put his left hand on the rolled down window, shook his head and said. Damn it! The beautiful boy slammed his fist on the seat, thinking that he was really unlucky today, "Be careful, be careful!" "Ah~~~"
The woman's unique shrill voice tears through the silence of the noon, and sparse pedestrians subconsciously look at the place where the sound originated.
On Oil Cypress Road, the wheels of Giante's racing car are tumbling; A boy in a tracksuit with an orange basketball on his back sits on the ground; A girl with a disheveled hair hugged her knees and showed a painful expression, "I'm sorry, classmate, are you okay?" The boy apparently had nothing to do, and got up like no one else, and hurriedly ran to the girl's side, and squatted down.
The girl's face was pale, tears of pain swirled in her eyes, and the boy looked down to see a large piece of skin falling off his knees, and blood flowed incessantly. When encountering such a thing, the boy was obviously a little at a loss, "Is there a fracture?" "The first thing he thought about was the injuries that he often encounters when playing basketball, and he thought that this time he was in big trouble." Hurry up and get to the hospital! "It's only a few hundred meters away from the People's Hospital, so send it over!" There were not many pedestrians on the road, but they still formed a circle, and then gave their opinions angrily, but no one moved.
The boy seems to have come to his senses, by the way, send him to the hospital! "Let's let, let's let!" He pushed away the crowd and picked up the bicycle, ready to ride the girl over on his bicycle. At this time, he suddenly realized that his bicycle did not have a back seat! The boy's face turned across, "Pit daddy!" Then he scrambled the bike to the pillar on the side of the road and locked it with a "snap"! "I'll take you to the hospital!" The boy wiped his sweat and ran to the girl, but before the girl could speak, he grabbed her leg crook and picked her up, and then ran like the wind. "You"
The girl was a little sober from her chaotic consciousness, and her knees were still tingling, but she was even more worried about her image in her heart, and her face turned red and hot.
The boy hugged the girl and ran, passers-by applauded, and even applauded, they looked at the back of the boy, and then they reacted: "Hey, this child is so tall!" “
