They went back to the hotel to rest for half a day, and the next day they started training again. As last season's champions, the Orca have been thoroughly studied by other teams, especially those who want to compete for the title. Lu Yan has also conducted research and analysis on the killer whale team. The Orca team has six star players, five of whom are national players. The Orca team can form a national team lineup. A group of players who have grown up in the team in recent years have also made rapid progress, Zhou Xinming has performed outstandingly, and he entered the national team at a young age.

For this game, Lu Yan felt a lot of pressure. With the current strength of the Kitagawa team, it may be possible to win the game by fighting with the killer whale team. But Lu Yan was afraid of injuring a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of himself. It's just an ordinary regular season, and winning doesn't mean much to the Kitagawa team, and if the players are injured, the gains outweigh the losses. If they win, they themselves will be greatly damaged. The current strength of the Beichuan team is Zhao Xinming, Cheng Xi, Ren Qiu, and Xu Yi. None of the others have grown up yet. However, there are many people who play in the Orca team, and there are many strong people. Lu Yan didn't want to play the trick of Tian Ji horse racing with Zhao Qiufeng. Preserving strength is even more important for the Kitagawa team.

Now the Kitagawa team is not suitable to play against the Orca team. Lu Yan wants to train the team again, train with competitions, and let the players of the team grow up, and then it will be the right time for them to fight with the Orca team.

On the afternoon of the day before the start of the game with the killer whales, Lu Yan took the players of the Beichuan team to daily training on the court. Everyone is also very active in training. Lu Yan saw that everyone was training hard, so he bought freshly squeezed juice for everyone. He bought coffee for himself and Wenhua.

Facing the killer whale team for the first time, Lu Yan was a little pressured. Wenhua accompanied everyone to train and help everyone pick up the ball. Lu Yan stood on the sidelines and watched everyone's state, he had already decided to give up the game tactically.

Ren Qiu walked to the sidelines and wiped his sweat with a towel. Seeing Lu Yan's solemn expression, he walked over to Xiaoxindi and asked, "Brother Yan, are you nervous?" ”

Lu Yan smiled faintly and said lightly, "No." He didn't want his emotions to affect Ren Qiu, and he didn't want to put pressure on Ren Qiu. Ren Qiu, this kid has worked hard enough.

"Coach, don't worry, I'll do well tomorrow. You don't have to worry. Ren Qiu comforted.

Lu Yan patted Ren Qiu on the shoulder and said, "Well, I know." You can train in peace. Don't overthink it. ”

Ren Qiu nodded obediently, and then ran to the field to train hard.

After training in the afternoon, Lu Yan asked everyone to go back to rest. Tomorrow's game is at 11 o'clock and they need to rest early and recuperate.

In the evening, Zhou Xincheng asked Zhao Xinming to go to his room to chat.

Zhao Xinming didn't shy away from getting up and going out.

"Where are you going?" Cheng Xi saw Zhao Xinming go out and asked curiously.

"Get out for a walk. I'll be back in a moment. Zhao Xinming said casually.

Cheng Xi said clingyly: "I'm going too." ”

Zhao Xinming was helpless and said, "I want to walk alone." ”

"Okay, then you come back early. Come back and bring me something to eat. Cheng Xi said in disappointment. He had just put on his shoes and were about to take them off again.

"What do you want to eat?" Zhao Xinming asked seriously. Cheng Xi gave up going out with him, but he was still relieved.

Cheng Xi said indifferently: "You can eat anything." ”

"Hmm...... Okay......" Zhao Xinming went out and went to find Zhou Xincheng.

When he arrived at Zhou Xincheng's door, Zhao Xinming thought that Zhou Xincheng still left him the door like last time. He turned the doorknob and pushed it in, but found that it couldn't be pushed.

Zhou Xincheng heard the sound at the door and hurriedly came over to open the door, and after seeing Zhao Xinming, he greeted warmly: "Come, please inside." ”

"Why did you call me here?" Zhao Xinming said helplessly. The big war is imminent, and they are not suitable for more contact.

"Chat. It's going to start tomorrow. As an old-timer, I have a few words to explain to you. Zhou Xincheng pretended to be old and said. In the league, he is indeed Zhao Xinming's predecessor, so he wants to show off a few words.

"Your own old-timer? I see that you have nothing to do with these three words. Zhao Xinming said unconvinced. Old friends chatting is just welcome.

Zhou Xincheng hurriedly begged for mercy and said, "Okay, don't say these digressions." I have important things to tell you. ”

"Say it." Zhao Xinming sat on Zhou Xincheng's bed.

Zhou Xincheng walked over, sat next to Zhao Xinming, and advised: "You can play leisurely in tomorrow's game, pay attention to safety and don't hurt yourself." We're going to win tomorrow. Your strength may not be able to win in the end. It's better to give up as soon as possible. If Lu Yan was a smart person, he would have chosen to give up. ”

Zhao Xinming didn't sound like that. The game hasn't started yet, and everything is unknown. "Not necessarily. How can you know you're going to win until the end of the game. New journey, let's see you on the court tomorrow. I know you're doing your best, but we're not going to give up. ”

Zhou Xincheng saw that the persuasion did not move, sighed, and said helplessly: "Since you insist, then compete tomorrow." I must remind you to stay safe. When the fight is white-hot, everyone may not pay so much attention. ”

Zhao Xinming nodded clearly. Basketball is a physically competitive sport. Whether intentional or unintentional, injuries are something athletes often face. This is the reason why Zhao Xinming's mother has always disagreed with Zhao Xinming playing professional basketball. Zhao Xinming is the only son in the family. Zhao Xinming's mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to Zhao Xinming and almost lost her life. So she has never wanted Zhao Xinming to embark on the road of professional basketball. She doesn't want Zhao Xinming to achieve any extraordinary achievements, she only hopes that Zhao Xinming can live this life safely and healthily.

"How did you feel when you started the Pro League?" Zhou Xincheng asked with concern.

"It's tiring, but it's fun." Zhao Xinming said with satisfaction.

"Lu Yan is a very good person, both in character and ball quality. You've been followed by a very good coach. ”

Zhao Xinming said in disappointment: "Yes." He is truly a man to be respected. It was because of him that I made up my mind to forget to join the Kitagawa team. But he doesn't seem to remember me anymore. He still hasn't recognized me. ”

Zhou Xincheng smiled and patted Zhao Xinming's back, and said jokingly: "Brother, don't embarrass Lu Yan." When you met, you were just a little kid less than a meter tall. After so many years, your appearance has changed, and you have not been in contact with him, how can he recognize you. Even if you report yourself, he may not dare to admit it. ”

"Yes." Zhao Xinming said with relief.

"When the season is over, we'll have to get together. Everyone has been too busy in recent years. You're busy going to school, I'm busy playing. ”
