After Cheng Xi stood outside the three-point line and caught the ball thrown by Xu Yi, he immediately made a shot, threw a three-pointer, and hit the basket. This was Cheng Xi's first three points of the game. After this three-point shot, Cheng Xi's hand came, and he threw several three-pointers in a row, which effectively helped the Beichuan team tie the score.

At this time, it was already halfway through the fourth quarter.

Lu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xiang Nan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and called a timeout to adjust the mentality of the players.

Lu Yan took advantage of the timeout of the Flying Bears to lay out tactics for the players. The players took advantage of this break to drink saliva.

The live DJ played a song that was very appropriate:

Maybe that's how the world is

I'm still on my way

No one can tell

Maybe I can only be silent

Tears moistened his eyes

But he is not willing to be cowardly

Keep your head down and look forward to the day

Accept all taunts

Embrace the rainbow towards the wind

Walk forward bravely

The light of dawn

will pass through the darkness

Break all fear, I can

Find out

Even if it's against the light

and dispel the darkness

Throw away all the burdens

No more loneliness

No more loneliness

Maybe that's how the world is

I'm still on my way

No one can tell

Maybe I can only be silent

Tears moistened his eyes

But he is not willing to be cowardly

Keep your head down and look forward to the day

Accept all taunts

Embrace the rainbow towards the wind

Walk forward bravely

The light of dawn

will pass through the darkness

Break all fear, I can

Find out

Even if it's against the light

and dispel the darkness

Throw away all the burdens

No more loneliness

No more loneliness

The light of dawn

will pass through the darkness

Break all fear, I can

Find out

Even if it's against the light

and dispel the darkness

There are 10,000 kinds of power

Drowning in loneliness

No more loneliness

Maybe that's how the world is

I'm still on my way

No one can tell

Maybe I can only be silent

Tears moistened his eyes

But he is not willing to be cowardly

In the second half of the fourth quarter, the Kitagawa team made a big push to expand the score and finally won the game by 10 points.

Xiang Nan walked over and shook hands with Lu Yan convincingly. In the face of his former colleagues, Xiang Nan still agrees with Lu Yan's talent. Although the Flying Bears lost this game, the Kitagawa team is indeed an admirable opponent. Played cleanly, no small movements. He admits that his skills are not as good as others, and he will take the Flying Bears to train well and start again in the offseason.

Tang Tang sighed unwillingly. They have done everything that should be done, maybe compared to the Beichuan team, they are still a little behind.

The fans of the Kitagawa team danced happily, and at the moment they were even more excited than the players of the Kitagawa team on the field. Since the beginning of this season, the Beichuan team has lived up to their expectations and played steadily. The players of the Kitagawa team gave them too much emotion and joy.

At this point, the eight-in-four game is over. The top four teams in the league are also the top four teams in the regular season. The Killer Whale team, the Intercity team, and the Nanzhou team all qualified with an absolute advantage, sweeping the opponent 2:0. Only the Kitagawa team played harder. In the case of a losing start, it was difficult to achieve a reversal.

In the locker room of the Beichuan team, Lu Yan hugged every player with tears in his eyes. Many people attribute the current achievements of the Beichuan team to Lu Yan. But Lu Yan knows that all the achievements of the Beichuan team now are not a victory for one person. In the most difficult and hopeless time of his career, he met a group of well-behaved, self-disciplined, hardworking, hard-working, and with the same goals and the same love as him. Lu Yan is grateful to this group of children for their unconditional trust and unreserved support for him.

The next four teams have two days of rest before moving on to the semi-finals. The semi-finals will be played in a best-of-five format.

In the evening, after brushing the news on the Internet that the Beichuan team eliminated the Flying Bears team and advanced to the semifinals, Lu Ran went to watch the replay of the game and watched both sides in one breath. I don't get bored either. Afraid of affecting the state of Lu Yan and the Beichuan team, Lu Ran did not send a message to congratulate the people of the Beichuan team.

Doubts and criticisms from the outside world are always there, but they don't have the time and energy to pay attention to these things. After dinner in the evening, everyone went back to take a simple shower and went to sleep. They have been so tired for the past few days, they have been tense, and now they can finally catch their breath and have a good rest. The next few games will be against the stronger and more consistent Intercity team. This is another hurdle for the Beichuan team.

Lu Ran has been paying attention to the situation of the playoffs in the past few days, waiting for the semifinals to start, but he is a little afraid of the semifinals starting, and his heart is very complicated and contradictory. Worried about the semi-finals of the Beichuan team every day, Lu Ran was in no mood to open for business, and he was staying up for a long time looking at the store. She hopes that Kitagawa can go one step further and go to the next level, but she knows very well that the next games will only be more difficult. After watching the league for a season, Lu Ran still knows the strength of several strong teams in the league. Intercity and Orca are both teams that are not easy to play.

Sometimes she thinks to herself that the current results of the Beichuan team are not bad, they have entered the semi-finals, even if they lose in the semifinals, they are still third, which is an unprecedented achievement for the Beichuan team, and they dare not imagine it; Besides, the third place is not much different from the first and second places, and there is no shame in winning the third place, and many teams can't even enter the top four. Lu Ran has been thinking about the Beichuan team for the past few days, and the way to enter and retreat has been thought out for the Beichuan team.

Back at the hotel, after a brief dinner, the Flying Bears players and staff went back to their rooms to pack their bags and prepare to return to the Flying Bears station tomorrow.

After having dinner with everyone, Lu Yan returned to the room and began to watch the video of the game between the Intercity team and the Yuzhou team. He does his homework first, finds out the characteristics of the Intercity team, and then explains it to the players, which saves time and allows everyone to rest more. The three games with the Flying Bears consumed a lot for the Kitagawa team. Lu Yan has never been afraid of failure, he is only afraid that he will not work hard enough, and he will not have the opportunity to work hard. Because of his love, he is not afraid of failure, and has always had the courage and determination to start over.

After so many years in the industry, he has seen all the winds and waves, all the hardships and hardships. He is hungry for success, but he is not afraid of failure. He had climbed the peak and reached the height when he was young, and he wanted to see if the scenery above was still there.

At nine o'clock, when Lu Yan and Wenhua were working overtime to watch the game video, their mobile phones rang inappropriately. Lu Yan picked up the phone and looked at the name on the screen, paused for a moment before slowly answering the call. "Hey...... Brother Nan. ”

"Lu Yan, do you have time? Can you come out and get together? Gu Nan's voice came from the other end of the phone. Lu Yan felt a little familiar and a little unfamiliar.

Lu Yan hurriedly replied: "Yes, Brother Nan, where are you?" I'll go find you. "Since leaving the Flying Bears last year, Lu Yan hasn't spoken to Gu Nan for a long time. In the five meetings between the Flying Bears and the Beichuan team this season, Gu Nan sat on the team bench as usual and watched the game quietly. Occasionally, they would look at each other, but both of them would just look at each other and smile at a distance from each other, through overlapping figures. It's hard to say right or wrong in the past, Lu Yan has always been grateful for the care Gu Nan took care of him when he was in the Flying Bears before.

"Well, I'm in a private room on the second floor of the hotel. I will send you the private room number on WeChat in a moment. Gu Nan said as he poured a cup of hot tea for Lu Yan to prepare.

"Okay, I'll go over now." Lu Yan said and hung up the phone.

"Brother Yan, are you going out?" Wenhua asked a little lost.

Lu Yan went out in a hurry and didn't notice Wenhua's mood changes, and hurriedly said, "You watch first, I'll be back in a while." ”

"Oh...... Okay......" Wenhua said dumbfoundedly. He suddenly had a feeling that he was going to lose Lu Yan. He has been with Lu Yan for almost a year, and he agrees with Lu Yan's ability and relies on Lu Yan's leadership. He didn't want Lu Yan to leave the Beichuan team. But if Lu Yan has a better opportunity and a better platform, he hopes that Lu Yan can go to the next level. The Beichuan team has a gap with the league powerhouses in terms of software and hardware, and its investment in the team has always been the lowest in the league. With Lu Yan's strength and current reputation, he is indeed a talent in the Beichuan team.

Lu Yan looked for the private room number sent by Gu Nan. As soon as he arrived at the door, Gu Nan heard the movement outside and opened the door from the inside. "It's coming. Quick, sit inside. The dishes are all up, just waiting for you. Gu Nan was warmly entertained. There was no trace of the gloom on his smiling face.

"Thank you, Brother Nan, for the invitation." Lu Yan sat beside Xiang Nan. The dishes on the table are the ones they used to order when they used to get together for dinners. After leaving the Beichuan team, Lu Yan hadn't had a good chat with Xiang Nan, and today was just an opportunity.

"Well, you're welcome. I've always wanted to catch up with you, but I haven't had the right opportunity. Today is an opportunity. Xiang Nan said with a smile.

Lu Yan said embarrassedly: "Brother Nan, I'm sorry. Today's game narrowly beat the Flying Bears. Lucky victory. This is a topic that cannot be avoided, and Lu Yan simply took the initiative to mention it.

Gu Nan said open-mindedly: "It's okay...... These are all you have to do. Don't be embarrassed. Team Kitagawa was brought out by you. Your abilities are recognized by the outside world. The Flying Bears are still the same, a little downhill. I really miss the days when you played for the Flying Bears, who were the absolute kings of the league and your players were very good. The players today can't compare to you back then. ”

"Brother Nan, you have an overreputation. The Flying Bears are also very good now, the players are very good, and the guide is also the best coach in the country. The Flying Bears will get better and better in the future. Peaks and lows are what the team has to go through. Lu Yan said without saying anything. He knew what Gu Nan wanted to say. But he's not going to be back with the Flying Bears. What he can do in the Beichuan team, he may not be able to do it in the Flying Bears. Moreover, the investors of the Flying Bears team ask for results, and if they can't get results, it won't be long before he will be abandoned by investors. But grades don't happen overnight.

Gu Nan said anxiously: "Lu Yan, although it is a little difficult to speak, but I must say, are you still willing to return to the Flying Bear Team?" This is a team you've played for years. I'm sure you have feelings for the Flying Bears. After Xiang Nan finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yan expectantly.

Lu Yan sighed softly and said firmly: "Brother Nan, I know that you are forced to be helpless. I'm doing well with the Beichuan team, and I have no intention of leaving. The guide and the players of the Kitagawa team are excellent. They need time to prove themselves, and the Flying Bears give them some time and they will prove themselves. The guide has been with the Flying Bears for many years, and he is the person who knows the Flying Bears players best, so give him more support. ”
