Chapter 16 Basketball League
At the beginning of March, Yangfan Middle School ushered in the annual basketball league, where the first and second years of high school drew two pairs in the year, and finally the top three teams in the two grades entered the final showdown.
Zhang Long handed over this competition to Gu Zipei, the sports committee member of our class.
Gu Zipei was looking for someone to sign up for every day between classes, plus substitutes, a total of seven boys were needed to participate, and in two days, only six people, including Gu Zipei, signed up.
"This group of thieves usually grabs rebounds to play in physical education class, and when they are asked to sign up, they don't say that they can't do it, and it's not because they're afraid of training."
Gu Zipei was just deflated at the boy's place, and walked back to his seat scolding all the way.
I turned around and comforted Gu Zipei, "Don't worry, I think when I was looking for someone to attend the welcome party, I begged grandpa and grandma everywhere like this." You have to believe that there will always be a good classmate who is full of a sense of collective honor. ”
"Good classmate? Haha, I have someone to choose," Gu Zipei stood up excitedly as if he thought of something, he patted Lu Li, who was sleeping, "Dude, wake up." ”
After patting for a while, Lu Li straightened up lazily, he turned his head and looked at Gu Zipei with a frown.
"Lu Li, I see that you played basketball well in physical education class, why don't you come to the basketball game."
"Don't." Lu Li refused, as resolute and decisive as when he refused to participate in the welcome party.
"Then I'll ask Zhen Zhen to help you copy a month's notes."
Caught off guard, Gu Zipei was taken to make a transaction, and I slapped him on the head, "Who allowed you to betray me so blatantly." ”
Gu Zipei rubbed his head and said aggrievedly: "Zhen Zhen, you are the class leader, you will dedicate yourself to the class." Lu Li, how's it going? ”
"Ye Zhenzhen still owes me a week's notes," Lu Li said, taking out a notebook from a drawer and throwing it on my desk, "Remember to help me make up for the past two days, class leader." ”
I glanced at Lu Li angrily, threw the notebook into the drawer, and muttered in a low voice: "Demons, capitalists, cold-blooded animals." ”
Seeing that he couldn't convince Lu Li, Gu Zipei sat back in his seat in frustration.
"Brother, don't be discouraged, you will be the only cheerleader for you, and you will be your only cheerleader, send you water to wipe your sweat, and envy others to death."
Gu Zijin comforted her younger brother who usually wanted to kick and fly for the first time, but why do these two sisters and brothers always like to make their own decisions, when I don't exist? When did I say that I would send water to Gu Zipei to wipe his sweat?
I turned around and wanted to defend myself, Gu Zijin glared at me, and I immediately closed my mouth obediently, wondering what kind of medicine Gu Zijin was selling in his gourd.
"Zhenzhen, really? If you can wipe my sweat for me, I won't get tired after a day of fighting. Gu Zipei held my hand excitedly.
"This, this ......" I struggled to break free from Gu Zipei's clutches.
"I'll participate." Lu Li suddenly turned around, and his voice was loud.
"Huh?" Gu Zipei and I looked at Lu Li in surprise at the same time.
"For the honor of the class."
Lu Li's answer was sacred and solemn, and it was really impossible to guess the motive for his sudden change of mind.
But Gu Zijin opposite me had a look on his face as if he had guessed the ending early, and I secretly asked her: "Did you already know that Lu Li would agree?" ”
But Gu Zijin didn't answer, she looked out the window with a smile, "It seems that this year's spring has come." ”
I followed Gu Zijin's line of sight, and the peach tree outside the window bloomed a pink peach blossom at some point.
A week later, the basketball tournament officially began, and the game lasted for five days. Zhang Long announced that during the competition, the evening self-study was temporarily canceled, and as soon as the notice came out, the whole year was boiling.
After the draw, our class played against the sixth class, and it was placed on the last day of the year competition, that is, as long as this game is won, our class can enter the finals with the sophomore.
As soon as the bell rang for the last class in the afternoon of the game, Gu Zipei rushed out of the classroom with the basketball team of our class. The students in the class also left the classroom one after another and went to the stadium to watch the game.
Gu Zijin rubbed my back in the back seat, "Zhenzhen, clean up quickly, let's go to the playground." ”
"Wait, I still haven't finished copying Lu Li's notes."
Today is the last day to help Lu Li copy notes, and he can finally get rid of this guy's threat again.
Gu Zijin walked to the seat in front of me and looked at me with a smile, "Zhen Zhen, why do I think you are very happy to help Lu Li copy the notes." ”
"Why, I wish I could get rid of this miserable life as soon as possible."
But why am I a little reluctant in my heart? Ye Zhenzhen, you are playing with eggs, because of Lu Li, you have now completely become a masochist.
"Your expression now is clearly written - I like Lu Li, I am happy in whatever he asks me to do."
Gu Zijin looked like he knew everything again, I stopped talking with a weak heart, lowered my head and continued to copy notes.
By the time we arrived at the playground, it was already dark around the basketball court. Relying on the brute strength of Gu Zijin's female man and my cheekiness, the two of us finally squeezed into the front row.
Ten minutes into the game, we are currently 2:4 with Class 6, temporarily behind. The playground was divided into two teams, red and green, and the boys in our class wore light green uniforms, and I narrowed my 150-degree myopic eyes to look for Lu Li's figure in the crowd running fast on the playground.
"Looking for Lu Li? Who told you not to wear glasses," Gu Zijin pointed to the center of the field, "Lu Li is there, No. 6." ”
I followed the direction of Gu Zijin's finger and saw Lu Li, he jumped up in front of the rebound, and covered the opponent's ball in time, and there was immediately a cheer on the court, and Gu Zijin and I were so excited that we clenched each other's hands. I finally understood why the spectators of the ball games were so excited that they burst into tears and even rolled on the ground, because every movement of the players could touch the nerves of everyone present.
"Look, isn't that Duanhua Su Yueling?" A boy next to him pointed not far away as if he had discovered a new continent.
Su Yueling stood on my right hand side of the place where there were three or four people, she tied her hair into a high ponytail today, and wore a light green sportswear, looking extraordinarily youthful and energetic.
"Isn't Su Yueling from Class 4? What is she doing here? Gossip 1 asked.
"You don't know, Su Yueling gave a gift to Lu Li in Class 3 last semester. I'm definitely here to watch him play today. Bagua 2 replied.
"You see, both of them are wearing green today, it's like a couple's outfit." Bagua 3 said.
"Don't say it, they are a talented man and a beautiful woman, and they are indeed a good match." Bagua 4 said.
"What a talented and beautiful woman, I think I'm playing the West Chamber!" Gu Zijin muttered disdainfully.
I burst out laughing at her words.
"Zhenzhen, where's your water?"
Gu Zijin suddenly mentioned water, and I asked a little inexplicably, "What water?" ”
Gu Zijin couldn't help but roll his eyes at me, "The mineral water for Lu Li to drink." ”
I pointed to the two boxes of mineral water next to the referee, "The referee didn't prepare them for that." ”
I felt Gu Zijin's face twitch, and she said in a tone of hatred: "Zhen Zhen, I said that you are usually very smart in learning, how can you be as dull as a wood when you encounter emotional things." Did you see the water in Duan Hua's hand? Do you think she wants to drink it herself? She will definitely give it to Lu Li to drink later. Do you want to watch Lu Li drink the water sent by your rival? ”
Gu Zijin's words finally woke me up, I looked at my watch, there were still about five minutes before the end of the first half, and it was still too late to go to the commissary to buy water.
I held Gu Zijin's hand and solemnly explained: "Good sister, if the first half is over, you must help me stop Lu Li, and you must not let him drink the water handed by Su Yueling." ”
Gu Zijin nodded resolutely, "Leave it to me, go and come back quickly." ”
I squeezed my way through the crowd and rushed to the commissary in a 100-meter sprint.
"Old, boss, come have a bottle of mineral water." I stopped at the entrance of the commissary, bent over and gasping for air.
"The mineral water is gone. In the past two days of school competition, the last two boxes have just been bought. ”
"Not really."
I trotted into the store, and sure enough, the place where the water had been put was empty.
"Why don't you buy this," the boss took a bottle of iced tea from the shelf and handed it over, "This is a new series, and there will be a prize for opening the lid." ”
The first half of the game was about to end, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I took the iced tea, stuffed the money into the boss's hand, turned around and ran away.
When I returned to the basketball court out of breath, the whistle blew just in time for the end of the first half. I pushed through the crowd to the first row, and Lu Li and the other boys in our class were walking towards the rest area.
"Zhen Zhen, you're finally back, come on, Su Yueling is already one step ahead of you." Gu Zijin pulled me and ran in the direction of Lu Li.
There are already people in the rest area who are bringing water to the players. Wang Ning handed Gu Zipei a bottle of mineral water, Gu Zipei obviously didn't expect Miss Wang to bring water to herself, and hesitated for a few seconds before slowly taking it, Wang Ning watched Gu Zipei drink the water with gentle eyes.
Su Yueling was already standing in front of Lu Li at this time, she was thoughtfully unscrewing the cap of the mineral water bottle for Lu Li, Gu Zijin saw this, and hurriedly pushed me to the middle of them, "Lu Li, Zhen Zhen has brought you water." ”
I was a little embarrassed, and when I unscrewed the cap of the bottle and was about to hand the iced tea to Lu Li, Su Yueling next to me let out a sneer, "Iced tea can't quench your thirst, is there any common sense." ”
I retracted my hand in embarrassment and explained, "Well, I bought it for myself." After speaking, he put the iced tea to his mouth.
"I'm thirsty." Lu Li suddenly snatched the drink from my hand, raised his head and drank it, drank half a bottle, and handed it to me, "Keep the remaining half bottle, I'll drink it when I'm done." ”
"Okay." I hugged the iced tea and nodded happily.
The two-minute break ended with the whistle blowing for the second half.
"Lu Li," I made a winning move, "Come on!" ”
Lu Li nodded at me, picked up the basketball and went back to the court.
At this time, Su Yueling glanced at me coldly, snorted coldly and walked away.
