Chapter 16: Coaching
When Li Yong heard it, he quickly turned his head, and his expression was overflowing with excitement. The two looked at each other from a distance. Quietly, quietly. Although the basketball court was noisy, both of them felt very quiet, as if there was no sound around them......
Gu Ran didn't say anything, didn't walk over, just smiled slightly, and she nodded lightly at Li Yong.
Li Yong smiled, smiled brightly, relaxed, as if he had regained his vitality...... Nothing matters anymore.
Under the coach's severe reprimand for Li Yong, Li Yong still fought alone. It's just that this time it was not the school team that suffered, but their opponent, Qingda.
Li Yong is like Kobe Bryant's possession, three points, ultra-long-distance three-pointers, dunks, breakthrough dunks, flying, and volleying. It's just how to fight, how to have, completely crazy feeling. Under Li Yong's outburst, the other 9 people in the audience were almost decorations, background color. In the stunned eyes of all the players and spectators, Li Yong carried the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt like a superman, and then scored a layup. No one could stop him, not even the coach had any words to say.
Soon, the school team overtook it. The opponent in the second half left the coach of the Qing University team to pause and arrange. Nothing worked. Li Yong just keeps scoring, scoring and scoring.
In the end, Li Yong scored 53 points alone, and the school team defeated the Qing University school team 73-63.
This was almost a victory for Li Yong alone, and Li Yong enjoyed the same treatment as a hero. He was lifted up by all his teammates and alumni, thrown into the sky, fell, caught, and thrown into the sky again.
However, Li Yong in mid-air was searching for Gu Ran with his eyes. But I only saw the back of Gu Ran quietly leaving.
There's nothing to do with me here, I just promised him to come and watch the game, and now, the ball is finished, it's time for me to go. Gu Ran thought like this, and walked out of the basketball hall without hesitation.
Back in the dormitory, Gu Ran learned in the QQ group of the class that Li Yong led the school team that day and won the district championship.
"Hmmm! It's amazing! Gu Ran thought so.
The next morning, Gu Ran went to the playground for a run as usual. He also still saw the big man Li Yong practicing on the court.
Gu Ran just looked at him silently and didn't say a word, although the big man also looked at him occasionally, he didn't say a word.
The two of them were silent like this, one quietly watching, the other quietly practicing, never disturbing each other, some only occasionally made eye contact, but soon each took the initiative to avoid it.
Gu Ran felt that on the basketball court, he was the protagonist, and he was just a nameless spectator.
So, both of them remained silent......
A few days later, someone posted a video of Li Yong's game that day on the Internet, which sparked a nationwide wave of worship among netizens, many of whom believed that he had the potential to play in the NBA. In particular, the action of dunking in front of the opponent with one against five has been repeatedly reprinted by netizens. Li Yong immediately became a popular figure in the school.
But Gu Ran still maintained the attitude he had towards him at the beginning, lukewarm, pure appreciation.
Early one morning, after running his own 3,000 meters, Gu Ran came to the stadium to watch Li Yong's training.
As usual, the court was deserted, and Li Yong was almost the only one practicing there. But today is different from before, Li Yong practiced very seriously and devotedly. To be exact, he was never serious, he had never been devoted, and he was soaked all over his body with sweat, but he still didn't stop. It's like playing on the pitch, every detail is done almost perfectly.
Gu Ran felt that his expression was very scary, and he looked surprised and serious, as if he had entered a state of madness. Gu Ran had only seen this state once before, and that was when the district championship was matched.
That day, Gu Ran had to read it very seriously and did not leave in advance. She always felt that the situation was a little unusual today, that the big man was a little unusual today, that the sky was a little unusual, and even that the court was a little unusual.
In the end, Li Yong made a three-pointer in the final midfield. This marked the end of his training today......
Li Yong held his knees with both hands and breathed heavily, like a fish starved of oxygen.
Gu Ran felt that he should go, but he didn't. I just looked at this boy who was stunned and looked at himself.
Li Yong's breath gradually calmed down, and his eyes gradually calmed down, and he slowly walked to Gu Ran's side.
Gu Ran only felt suffocated for a while...... It was a moment that made her feel as if she had experienced it somewhere. In a dream? No way? I'm not that nymphomaniac!
Gu Ran has always felt that she is a rational rather than emotional person, so she worked hard to stabilize her body and mind, and tried not to let Li Yong see that she had any other feelings.
Gu Ran was thinking about how to start talking to this big man, but Li Yong spoke first: "Thank you, Gu Ran......"
Gu Ran felt a little inexplicable, "Thank me for what?" ”
Li Yong said in a jerky tone: "If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would be able to hold on these days...... If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know if I would have won that fight, and I wouldn't have known what I would have reached without you...... So, thank you. ”
Gu Ran felt that he had never been so sharp-toothed, it seemed that this was the language he had been thinking about for a long time, Gu Ran felt that he had held himself too high, and hurriedly prevaricated: "It's nothing!" I didn't do anything, I just came to see you practice, to watch you compete......"
Li Yong smiled innocently: "That's enough, you are different from all girls, no matter what I do, I can't surprise you, no matter what I do, I can't make you cheer, so I work hard every day to win your applause or praise." But until now, I haven't done it. ”
Gu Ran smiled: "You played very well." That's why I've always admired you. ”
Li Yong shook his head: "That's not what I mean, I think...... You are simply the goddess of my life, urging me to make progress and urging me to improve. I've been able to get to where I am today, probably because of you...... Especially on the day of the game, when I didn't see you for the whole first half, I almost broke down...... But when you arrived, it only took a look and a word to inspire me......"
Gu Ran: "Hehe! It's nothing! I just think you need encouragement, but I don't know how to encourage ......."
Li Yong looked at her with clear eyes, as if he had been thinking for a long time, and then said, "You look at me, which is the greatest encouragement to me." ”
Gu Ran looked up at his mature and slightly childish face, only to see something crystal swirling in Li Yong's eyes. I vaguely felt as if he had something to say.
Gu Ran asked him, "What's wrong with you??" ……”
Li Yong deliberately avoided her eyes: "I'm sorry ......"
Gu Ran only felt a little inexplicable: "What's sorry...... You're not sorry for me. Li Yong turned around: "I'm leaving tomorrow." Probably won't be coming back. ”
Gu Ran was a little surprised, although he knew that this day would come sooner or later, he didn't expect it to be so early: "Hmm! Have you graduated, are you going? ”
"It's not! A CBA team signed a contract with me and asked me to try out with their team and stay if I was satisfied. Li Yong tried to stabilize his tone.
Gu Ran was happy for him in his heart, "That's good!" Isn't Yao Ming just playing in the CBA? You're getting closer and closer to your NBA dream! Come on! You must be able to! ”
Li Yong turned around and looked at Gu Ran carefully: "You promised to let me, no, are you willing to let me go?" ”
Gu Ran really smiled happily this time: "Of course! I have always regarded you as a good friend, and now that you have succeeded, of course I am happy for you, and I will have the capital to brag to others in the future! I have a friend of a basketball star! ”
Li Yong muttered, "It's not this! ”
Gu Ran: "What's that?" ”
"No, nothing!"
Li Yong looked into the distance silently, as if he didn't know what to say, and said to Gu Ran slowly after a long time: "Gu Ran, if I can, I am willing to play for you for the rest of my life, just for you." ”
Gu Ran felt that his words were a little childish and very childish. My heart was inexplicably grateful and touched, and I couldn't help but want to cry. No, there's no way I'm going to cry. What is this? It's just, just a kind word. Nothing! Isn't it?
Gu Ran deliberately lowered his head not to look at him, and then said in a somewhat distorted tone: "A life is too long, too long." I may not want to watch it for the rest of my life......"
Gu Ran felt that today's atmosphere was so sensational, so sensational, and she couldn't stand it anymore. In an instant, a word that she had been discussing with others every day popped into her head - love.
Love, love, is this love?
If it is love, is it love, or love. If it is love, is it more love or more love?
It can't be love! Gu Ran hit himself like this, I have only spoken a dozen words with him, how can there be love?
Gu Ran tried his best to stabilize his slightly trembling body, and suddenly smiled at Li Yong: "You go, go ahead." If you don't make it to the NBA, don't come back to me. ”
Gu Ran felt that he was very chic, very chic, especially the posture of walking a few steps. It's like a top model's indifferent and arrogant look, and it's the kind of look that everyone is overwhelmed by looking forward to it, and it's absolutely the same. That's how it should be, that's how it should be. Isn't it? He felt like I was helping him, and the big man always felt like he couldn't do without me. But now, he must be without me! But will he feel that he is real without me, hehe, no matter what, he is him, I am me, I can at most imprint myself cruelly in his heart, but it will never be true that I will always be by his side. If there is only one imprint left, then I can only imprint it like this, so that he will always remember me.
If you can't make it to the NBA, don't come back to see me. Gu Ran really thought so in his heart? No, it's not. Li Yong looked at her back dumbfounded, and tried to catch up several times, but he couldn't help it. NBA, is the NBA so important to me, Li Yong asked himself frantically. But he couldn't figure out why he was asking such a question.
