"Let's talk about it when the season is over. Do you have anything to eat here? Zhao Xinming asked.

"Yes, do you want shredded squid?" Zhou Xincheng took out two boxes of shredded squid from the cabinet and handed them to Zhao Xinming.

"Yes. My roommate asked me to bring him something to eat. It's so late and I don't want to go out. ”

"Your roommate? Is it the boy who is white-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged and often follows you? Zhou Xincheng recalled.

"His name is Cheng Xi, don't have so many adjectives. It's easy to remember people's names. His name is easy to remember. Zhao Xinming said helplessly. Although Zhou Xincheng's description of Cheng Xi was not wrong, he always felt very strange and awkward when he heard it.

Zhou Xincheng smiled bitterly and said, "My fault." I'll call him by name later. This guy is so distinctive, it's impressive. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it. I'll go back first. You also rest early. There's a game tomorrow. Zhao Xinming advised.

"Well, if you think the shredded squid is delicious, tell me, and I'll buy you some and send it over."

"Hmm......" Zhao Xinming took two boxes of shredded squid and left.

Back in the room, Cheng Xi was already asleep. Zhao Xinming put the shredded squid on the table and went to sleep. Cheng Xi has always been a person with a big heart. No matter what time it is, he can eat and sleep, he has no worries, and his mind is very peaceful. Even if the big war is imminent, he can still face it calmly. Cheng Xi is the person with the best mentality in the Beichuan team. He always brings his mentality to the rest of the team.

The next day, they arrived at the gymnasium two hours early to warm up. Lu Yan takes it seriously, but he doesn't expect and desire to win. He only sees this game as a practice and against the best teams, they will definitely be able to get something out.

At ten o'clock, Lu Yan asked Wenhua to buy something to eat. The game was at noon, and they didn't have time to eat lunch, so they had some food in advance. Wait until the game is over before going for a big meal.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, the audience came in one after another. After a while, the stands were full. They're starting to feel the spotlight on them. It was the first time they had seen such an audience. Among the many Orca fans, they saw a sparse Kitagawa team fan. Cheng Xi felt very warm in his heart.

Before the start of the game, players from both teams warmed up in their respective halves. Cheng Xi saw the lineup of the killer whale team, including experienced national veterans Lin Zhongzhou and Shan Wen, the new generation of star players and national players Zhou Xincheng, Gu Yu, Deng Xin, and several young players with good physical fitness.

When Lu Yan saw the lineup of the killer whales, he knew that this game was very difficult.

The MC introduced the players from both sides at once. The players of both teams just stood on opposite sides of the pitch and looked at the players on the opposite side. Cheng Xi glanced at Zhou Xincheng and found that he was squeezing his eyebrows at him.

Cheng Xi hurriedly whispered to Zhao Xinming: "Xinming, Zhou Xincheng on the other side threw me a flattering look. What is he doing here? It's scary. ”

"Alas...... Leave him alone. Don't be disturbed by the outside world, he may have eye cramps. Zhao Xinming whispered, closed his eyes slightly, and shook his head at Zhou Xincheng, asking him not to say hello to him.

Zhou Xincheng was asked by Zhao Xinming to be quiet.

The game started, and after jumping the ball, Ren Qiu grabbed the basketball. He took the basketball all the way to the opponent's basket, and after attracting three people to come over to defend, he shook his hand and threw the basketball to Xu Yi. Xu Yi also did not hesitate, and raised his hand to shoot. Open three-pointer, solid hit. When Shan Wen came over to make up for the defense, it was already too late.

Lin Zhongzhou hurriedly took the ball and walked to the sideline to serve. After Shan Wen received the ball, he quickly led it through the half. The Beichuan team has already settled in a good position, two or three joint defense. Shan Wen didn't have a chance, so he called Zhou Xincheng to cover. Zhao Xinming is still standing under the basket or in the frame. Other teammates were stared at and didn't have a chance. Shan Wen made a decisive shot, shot a three-pointer, and scored a hollow goal. Respond to the Kitagawa team. The Orcas have three-point shooting ability from guard to center. Zhao Qiufeng is strict with them when he usually trains. They are skilled in these tasks on the basketball court, and they are outstanding in their own areas of responsibility.

Before Cheng Xi dribbled the ball in the half, he encountered Shan Wen coming to defend. Cheng Xi quickened his pace, changed direction to get rid of Shan Wen, and then met Zhou Xincheng who came to assist in the defense. Cheng Xi made an elegant turn, bypassed Zhou Xincheng, and passed the ball to Zhao Xinming standing under the basket. Zhao Xinming raised his hand and put the basketball into the basket.

Both sides played very skillfully. At the end of the first quarter, the scores were close. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Killers increased their defensive intensity, trying to force the opponent to make mistakes through high-intensity defense, prevent the opponent from scoring, and then launch a fast-break counterattack themselves.

In the face of the opponent's high-intensity defense, the players of the Beichuan team did not panic, calmly responded, played tactics, and looked for opportunities. The point of attack is no longer a single person, but five people can become the point of attack, and whoever has the opportunity can shoot. Ren Qiu, who has been defending and assisting in the first quarter, also began to shoot, jumpers outside the three-point line, and strong hits in the restricted area. In the face of Zhou Xincheng, who was taller than him, he was not afraid at all, and dared to fight. Even if he was capped by Zhou Xincheng, he didn't have any psychological shadow.

Cheng Xi was even more bold, shooting at the defenders of the Orca team, and the opponent was depressed.

At the end of the second quarter, the score of the two sides was tied, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. In the third quarter, the physical confrontation between the two sides was stronger. During a scramble for rebounds, Zhao Xinming was hit in the nose by the arm of the Orcas center Gu Yu. He immediately bent down and covered his nose in pain. Ren Qiu grabbed the rebound that was pointed out by Zhao Xinming.

Seeing this, the referee quickly blew the whistle, suspended the game, and stepped forward to check the situation. Bright red blood flowed from between Zhao Xinming's fingers and fell low on the floor. Ren Qiu, Xu Yi, Cheng Xi, and Xu Zhi hurriedly ran over.

Gu Yu stood nervously on the side, looking worried. Although he did it unintentionally, it did hurt Zhao Xinming. "I'm sorry, I ......" Gu Yu wanted to say that he didn't mean to, but it was useless to say this.

"How are you feeling?" The referee asked with concern.

"Not so good. I'll take a moment. Zhao Xinming covered his nose and said.

Zhou Xincheng saw Zhao Xinming's hands full of blood, and yelled at Gu Yu angrily: "What are you doing? You? ”

Gu Yu said guiltily: "I ...... I was in too much of a hurry just now. I ......"

Zhou Xincheng sighed, looked at Zhao Xinming helplessly, and then glanced at Zhao Qiufeng who was standing on the sidelines. Zhao Qiufeng's face was solemn, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked worried.
