Next to each other, looking forward to it; Complaining, looking forward to it. Finally, it was the day of the city's high school basketball game, which was held on our school's open-air basketball court.

It is a total of three days, and eight teams will draw lots to select their opponents for a single knockout match. The first two days of the competition were held during school hours, and the audience could only be classes that happened to be in physical education class. On the last day of the finals, the time was set for lunch, which was considered a benefit.

The layout of the court is also relatively simple and simple, except that a banner with white characters on a red background was pulled on the highest position of the basketball court stands, "The 10th New City High School Student Basketball Game", and below it was a line of small words "Organizer New City No. 2 Middle School".

A few red painted desks were placed in the middle of the two sides of the court as a statistical table, and the desk calendar-style manual scoring row was also placed on one of the tables, and only a few more pieces of anti-collision foam were tied to the basket frame than usual, and the referee invited a teacher from the sports school.

The first day of the race was sunny and windless, and the sun was shining warmly. We were all in high spirits and high spirits, and we were very suitable for the sunny weather.

Although it was a familiar court, surrounded by familiar teammates, and the field was very empty and there were not many spectators, the excited heart in his chest was still beating rapidly, and his palms were slightly sweaty.

After some stretching and warm-up shooting, the game officially began with the referee's whistle. The moment I touched the ball, the excitement and uneasiness I felt before the game disappeared.

In the first ball, I cut the basket in the air, and received Shen Xiaofeng's outside hanging pass and hit it directly. We played the whole first half as smoothly as I set the tone for my first goal.

Our opponent, Xincheng No. 6 Middle School, didn't cause us any real trouble, so after the start of the second half, Shen Xiaofeng and I sat on the sidelines in our coats and clapped and cheered.

In the fourth quarter, Mr. Wang simply tried his best to come off the bench. Even so, in the end, we still had as many as eighteen points of blood, which was really bloodless to advance to the second round. After the game, Shen Xiaofeng also joked that the two of us won this game.

"I only called the baton when I broke through the ball, and it passed through the crack with a 'boom'!"

"Remember that steal?"

"Hat, hat makes my hands soft!"

"Grabbing rebounds with them, I found that feeling of bullying elementary school students again!"

We walked to the shower room unscrupulously, sharing our joy. To be honest, in this game I also have that feeling of having a ball in my hand and the whole world.

I hummed and stood under the shower, letting the warm water iron every inch of my skin, and my mind kept flashing the wonderful pictures of the game like a movie, especially my extreme stepback jumper at the zero degree angle of the right baseline baseline, the defenders had already sealed my face, and I actually threw it into the basket when I couldn't see the basket at all.

Thinking about it, my hands were raised above my head and I made a shot...... This unbridled joy did not subside until we were training on the basketball court during extracurricular activities. Unexpectedly, Shi Xiaoqiang only had a gloomy face for our smooth promotion.

After the whistle blew, no one expected him to directly call me to fight three balls by name. Before kick-off, I was still wondering if I wanted to concede the ball, after all, he was a teacher, and it was not good to lose. "Papa" slapped in the face because I was abused by him.

"Anyone else want to try?" Shi Xiaoqiang saw that no one answered, and then said: "Do you all think you are very awesome today? Except for the first half of the first quarter, where you guys played like today, basketball is a five-man sport......"

In the following practice time, we did not fight in groups as usual, but repeatedly practiced basic tactics such as covering, blocking, air cutting, and running without the ball, as well as positional defense.

When practicing defense, Shi Xiaoqiang did not forget to mention his face, "Offense wins the audience, defense wins the championship!"

After this toss, after class, we couldn't help but complain again, "Teacher Shi is really a weirdo, we won the game, and if we don't praise us, forget it, but I didn't expect to be mocked by him." ”

Looking at the fiery sunset on the horizon, I can't help but think of the proverb "If you don't go out in the morning glow, the sunset will travel a thousand miles." I thought to myself: tomorrow will be another good weather.

"The sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk." Shen Xiaofeng said suddenly.

"When did you become so pessimistic, did Shi Xiaoqiang scare you?" I'm a little unimpressed.

"I heard that our next opponent is very strong, and he is also here to fight for the championship." Later, I learned that what Shen Xiaofeng was depicting with his voice was not a Western oil painted with oil paint, but a Chinese painting that was extremely capable of leaving blank space.

I looked at Shen Xiaofeng, who was at a loss, and said, "It's good if the opponent is stronger, just to test the results of our training during this time." If the opponents are like the sixth middle school, then this champion should not be either. ”

In fact, having said that, the worries in my heart are not much less than Shen Xiaofeng's. At dinner, I was thinking about what might happen during the game and how I was going to deal with it.

After the evening self-study class, I couldn't sleep in bed, and I kept resisting but kept thinking about tomorrow's game.

When I heard the host call my name, I still couldn't believe that I had actually been selected to be the participant in the one-on-one interaction with Kobe Bryant during halftime.

I stood in a daze at the logo in the center of the Staples Arena, stunned, my hands tugging at the hem of my blue purple No. 8 jersey in the deafening cheers, my palms already sweaty, and my legs shaking uncontrollably.

I didn't understand what the host was saying to me, but I still smirked and stood there like a stake. At this time, Kobe Bryant stepped forward and smiled and stuffed the ball into my arms, shook my shoulders lightly with both hands, and then he himself shook his arms from side to side, and kept saying with a smile:

“

elax，

elax……”

I just smiled awkwardly, and then he motioned for me to attack first. I tried the ball on the floor a few times before I settled down, rubbed my palms against my jersey, slapped my hands, rubbed them together a few times, and then prepared to attack.

Maybe Kobe didn't take it seriously and let me score two goals in a row. I was in ecstasy, thinking that if I scored one more goal, I would win, and it was Kobe Bryant!

On the last shot, I chose to shoot directly from beyond the three-point line. After the shot, I was still in a shooting position, staring intently at the basketball that was almost grazing Kobe's fingers and spinning towards the basket.
