Chapter 9: Basketball
Sports like basketball with physical conflicts often start with their eyes, and the moment Zhong Han and Chen Dong looked at each other, they knew that this Chen Dong's level was definitely not ordinary, and it was also, how could he be a weak chicken who was invited with a lot of money.
Zhong Han's easy dribbling, light pace, and a standard crossover won Chen Dong a look of approval, but Chen Dong, who was half a head taller than him, obviously had the intention of breaking through with him, and when Zhong Han completed the whole set of actions and finally made a layup, Chen Dong hit the basketball hard and covered the court with a heavy blow.
The people on the sidelines threw the ball back to Zhong Han, and Chen Dong hooked his fingers at him, as if to say "come again" to him.
Zhong Han smiled calmly, first dribbled the ball under his crotch and then shook his left hand with a hook, the ball circled from behind him and returned to his right hand, he glanced at the three-point line, jumped back half a step and just stood on the outside edge of the three-point line, and hit the perfect arc basketball hollow into the basket.
"Wow, that's good!" Chen Dongchong Zhonghan gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay, it's okay." ”
Zhong Han walked up to him and asked, "Is it okay?" ”
"The basic skills are good, and the feel is good, but the dribbling is not particularly coherent, and the strength has to continue to be added, which is still good overall." Chen Dong said.
Zhong Han's basketball coach at school had been watching the confrontation between the two, and he walked up to the two and said proudly, "How is it?" I'm not weak as an apprentice, is I? ”
"Quite right, teacher, you teach well." Chen Dong said politely.
"This kid was about 175 when he first came to high school, and at that time I thought it was a good foundation that he was a little smaller, but I didn't expect it to rise all of a sudden this year, which is the icing on the cake." Basketball coach said.
"Well, this height is enough for him, and it would be better to improve the technique a little more."
Zhong Han listened to the two coaches' praise of him a little embarrassed, and pulled up the collar of his jersey to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead.
Chen Dong proposed to talk to the basketball coach about Zhong Han's situation alone, so Zhong Han's training session ended a little early, he took a shower in the bathroom, changed into a black sweatshirt and a pair of gray sweatpants, and left the arena first with his bag. The music classroom was on the other side of the first floor of the gymnasium, Zhong Han deliberately walked around a small half circle to the door of the music classroom, and saw Ji Yuxi holding a book and reading it carefully. There were several other students in the classroom.
"Ji Yuxi, hello, my name is Wang Zhuo, and I am from the eleventh class of the first class with you." A boy took the initiative to talk to Ji Yuxi.
"Oh, hello." Ji Yuxi was a little surprised that the other party took the initiative to say hello, it was the first time that someone had greeted her so kindly except for Lin Ni after coming to the school for so long.
"That~ Can I add your WeChat?" The boy asked, a little embarrassed.
"Huh? Oh~ Okay. Ji Yuxi took out his mobile phone.
The boy didn't expect her to agree so readily, so he secretly clenched his fist excitedly and turned to the other boy.
"Ji Yuxi!" Zhong Han, who was standing at the door, suddenly called her name, "You come out for a while." ”
Ji Yuxi hurriedly trotted to the corridor.
"You're done with your training session? What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Ji Yuxi asked.
"Is your WeChat an official account?" Zhong Han asked with a sneer.
"Huh?" Ji Yuxi didn't understand what he meant.
"Anyone can pay attention to that? What, micro-business? ”
"What, people are so friendly, should I refuse?" Ji Yuxi's voice was a little empty, and he said what he thought.
"Friendly? I want to chase you, right? ”
"What are you talking about? If you want a WeChat, you just want to chase me? Then you also took the initiative to add me to WeChat, and you too? Ji Yuxi said that he felt that his metaphor was a little inappropriate, and couldn't help but lower his voice a little: "You want to chase me too!" Cut~"
Zhong Han heard her say this, and his mouth "tsk": "You are quite reasonable, just listen to what you say." ”
"Why do you always discipline me, tell you, my nose still hurts!" Ji Yuxi raised his head and pointed to his nose and said.
Zhong Han reached out and gently touched her nose with his index finger, his eyes showed a little concern: "It still hurts?" ”
"Of course, it's all bleeding, how can it be so fast."
Zhong Han couldn't help but laugh when he looked at her.
"You're still laughing!"
"No, I just remembered that when you first came to school, you didn't say much, I thought you were a lot of introverts, but now it seems that it doesn't seem like that."
"I'm that~" Ji Yuxi wanted to explain something, but didn't say it.
"Okay, you go back and continue reading your book, I'll go out for dinner, it just so happens that there won't be so many people after class." Zhong Han said.
"What do you want to eat? I~~" Ji Yuxi didn't eat two bites of rice at noon because he was in a hurry to find Zhong Han, and now he is a little hungry.
"What? Hungry again? I'll hear if my stomach is rumbling again. Zhong Han deliberately teased her with the thing that Ji Yuxi's hungry stomach screamed last time.
"Oh, why are you like this, okay, okay, you go!" Ji Yuxi was a little embarrassed.
"I won't tease you, let's go, let's go together."
Ji Yuxi returned to the classroom and quickly put away his saxophone, holding the piano case and keeping up with Zhong Han's pace. Zhong Han wanted to take her piano case, but was pulled by Ji Yuxi.
"What? Give it to me. Zhong Han said.
"Well~~~ No need, I'll take it myself, others should talk nonsense when they see it." Ji Yuxi's tone was timid.
"Cut~" Zhong Han glanced at her and snatched the piano case domineeringly.
Lu Zifei and Zheng Yan made an appointment to play basketball before the evening self-study, he remembered that he used to play by himself Ji Yuxi would definitely be required by him to take water to cheer on the sidelines, he sent a WeChat message to Ji Yuxi to ask her if the practice class was over, he didn't know that there was no teacher in the professional practice class of musical instruments in the 13th Middle School, it was not so much a class, in fact, it was more like independent practice or self-study of professional exam content. He stared at his phone for a long time and didn't wait for Ji Yuxi's reply, and he didn't dare to call her.
As soon as the bell rang for the end of class, Lu Zifei hurriedly dialed Ji Yuxi's phone, at this time, Ji Yuxi and Zhong Han were eating at KFC, and the phone was muted and not heard at all. Lu Zifei wanted to ask Lin Ni where Ji Yuxi was in class and then go to her, but Zheng Yan had already asked the classmates of Class 6 to play a game together.
Lu Zifei didn't want everyone to wait for him alone, so he hurriedly said to Lin Ni: "Xiao Nizi, you help me find Ji Yuxi, tell him that I am playing with Class 6 on the basketball court, and ask her to buy me some water and then go to me." ”
"Race? I said, why did those guys in Class 6 block the door of our class after class! Lin Ni looked at her watch as she spoke, took out her mobile phone and dialed Ji Yuxi's number, it rang for a long time but no one answered, she thought in her heart that Ji Yuxi should be back at this time, even if she didn't come back, there was no reason not to answer the phone. Thinking about this, she took out the croissant she brought with her at noon and walked to the music classroom while eating.
Lu Zifei came to the basketball court and greeted his classmates in a friendly manner, in fact, he was originally a very cheerful boy who loved to make friends, and his popularity in No. 1 Middle School was also very good, but after his father's accident, there were a lot of gossips in the school, and Ji Yuxi disappeared, so he became a little silent.
Lu Zifei's self-confidence is not unreasonable, Zheng Yan has been happily hugging Lu Zifei from time to time as soon as the game began.
"Wow~~ This time our second class is invincible! Lu Zifei, you can! "Zheng Yan seems to really want to avenge last year's defeat.
"Ha~ It's okay!" Lu Zifei replied, he was a little careless, always looking at the sidelines, he was waiting for that person, waiting for everything to return to the way it was.
Lin Ni didn't find Ji Yuxi in the music classroom, and after inquiring, she found out that Ji Yuxi and Zhong Han left early, and told her that it was Wang Zhuo, the boy who asked Ji Yuxi for WeChat before, Wang Zhuo was interrupted by Zhong Han at that time, and he felt that it was a pity to meet Lin Ni and asked Lin Ni for help, Lin Ni politely rejected him, thinking to herself, "Sure enough, beautiful girls are popular everywhere."
didn't find Ji Yuxi, and remembered what Lu Zifei said just now about asking him to help buy water, Lin Ni bought two bottles of water at the vending machine and returned to the basketball court.
Lu Zifei felt even more absent-minded when he saw Lin Ni standing alone on the sidelines, and finally stayed up until the break and came to Lin Ni.
"Xiao Nizi, where is Ji Yuxi?"
"Ah~that~" Lin Ni slurred, she didn't dare to tell him directly that Ji Yuxi and Zhong Han were together, because she understood that although this basketball game was not an official game, it was also Lu Zifei's debut, no matter how it couldn't affect his mood in the game, so she lied casually.
"Oh, the ninth class that took classes with her was called ~~ What is the name of that girl who had to ask Ji Yuxi to eat with her, she was embarrassed to refuse and went with her. Don't you just want water, give it to you, my sister bought it for you. Lin Ni unscrewed the cap of the bottle and handed the water to Lu Zifei, but her gaze was unnaturally a little dodgy.
Lu Zifei was suspicious, but he didn't say anything.
The game was very intense, and in the last quarter, because Lu Zifei had been absent-minded, he had no sense of hand, which led to the previous lead of more than a dozen points being tied but two points behind.
Ji Yuxi and Zhong Han returned to school after eating and were also attracted by the lively scene of the basketball court, Ji Yuxi saw Lu Zifei at a glance in the crowd, she hadn't seen Lu Zifei play basketball for a long time, so she was a little excited, patted Zhong Han next to her and said, "Look, it's Lu Zifei, is this a game?" ”
Zhong Han looked at the somewhat excited expression on her face, and suddenly felt displeased, and glanced at her and said, "Don't you like basketball, what are you excited about?" ”
"No, I heard from my former classmates that since the accident at home, I rarely saw Lu Zifei playing basketball again, it seems that this kid has changed!" Ji Yuxi explained while waving at Lu Zifei on the field and shouted: "Lu Zifei~~ Come on!" ”
Although the shouting was very noisy, Lu Zifei still heard Ji Yuxi's voice, he looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Ji Yuxi waving to him, the smile on his face was the same as before, and there was a hint of joy in his heart when he saw Zhong Han standing beside her, and what made him even more unexpected was that Zhong Han was still holding Ji Yuxi's piano case in his hand.
The smile that Lu Zifei had just shown suddenly stopped and disappeared, he looked at the two people indifferently, stopped all his movements, and stood there motionless as if he had lost his soul.
The score is still two points behind, and it has entered the countdown, Zheng Yan controlled the ball and looked around for Lu Zifei's figure, and saw Lu Zifei standing there looking at the outside of the court, he shouted loudly: "Lu Zifei, catch the ball, three points and three points!" ”
Lu Zifei heard the shout, turned around to take the ball, and shook the opposing defender with a feint. When he stood at the three-point line and was about to make the last shot, he turned to look at Ji Yuxi and Zhong Han again, at this time, Ji Yuxi was looking at him nervously with his hands over his mouth, and Zhong Han next to him was expressionless, he looked at Lin Ni again, and for a while saw through her lie.
Lu Zifei felt that his hands weighed a thousand pounds, and his heart seemed to be getting cold a little bit.
"Hurry up, Lu Zifei!" Zheng Yan had already shouted: "Quick! ”
Lu Zifei threw the ball mechanically, and the moment the ball left his hand, he knew that this shot must have missed, but he never thought that he didn't even hit the iron, but a "three non-sticks".
The audience instantly became silent, and then the students of Class 6 began to cheer and celebrate excitedly.
Zheng Yan originally wanted to give Lu Zifei the chance to turn defeat into victory so that he could prove himself, but he didn't expect him to end this game in such a way. Zheng Yan wanted to reproach him, but he couldn't bear to speak, and there were sparse boos among the second-class classmates watching the game on the sidelines, but Lu Zifei couldn't hear anything, just stood there quietly.
Ji Yuxi didn't expect that Lu Zifei would lose her standard at the most critical moment, and she also stood quietly in the crowd, looking at Lu Zifei with some regret.
Zhong Han looked at her intently, and snapped his fingers in front of her eyes, "Hey! ”
Ji Yuxi didn't react, still looking in Lu Zifei's direction.
