Chapter 8 Before the Competition
At this time, Ouyang Xiang, who had left, said to the people around her, check the kid's background just now, and then left.
Huang Xiang was still having a meal at this time, but he didn't know that he had attracted the attention of big shots because he had not defeated hunger just now.
After dinner, everyone returned to the dormitory to start resting. Because there was no class in the afternoon, everyone returned to the dormitory to prepare for rest.
By 3 pm, everyone was basically playing chess with Mr. Zhou in their dreams. At the same time, in room 406, Building 7, the school girls' dormitory, two women were discussing Huang Xiang.
"What? The boy from the basketball team, um, looking at the tall and big, it turns out that he is playing basketball." A woman put down the phone in her hand and said slowly.
"Sister Xiang, didn't that kid mess with you much? Why do you need to know his detailed information? Besides, he is not the only one who eats, and then continues to eat after looking at you. Why are you targeting him?" A thin beauty looked at Ouyang Xiang in confusion.
It turned out that this woman was Ouyang Xiang in the canteen in the morning. Seeing that Huang Xiang didn't care much, she asked someone to make some information about Huang Xiang. In fact, Ouyang Xiang knew that this was nothing. When she knew that Huang Xiang was from the school basketball team, she was even more reluctant to argue with him, because his school basketball team was so bad. He didn't know why there were not many such undergraduate basketball experts. Last year, Ji Wufeng came out, but later he lost to Hebei University.
Although Ouyang Xiang's family is very rich, she likes the feeling of liveliness, so she moved to the collective dormitory. She is not afraid of kidnapping and extortion. The bodyguards around the school are not counted. She is a Taekwondo black belt in 6 sections. If someone beats her, I'm afraid you have to consider your own weight first.
"Forget it, the basketball team is understandable. Haha, Zhang Yan, it seems that he is in the same class as you?" Ouyang Xiang's words clearly showed disdain for the basketball team.
"I don't know, I didn't go to class today." Zhang Yan said.
It turns out that this person named Zhang Yan is also a freshman. Because Ouyang Xiang was a neighbor and a friend when she was a child, she was brought closer to her dormitory by Ouyang Xiang. She also applied for computer application technology.
At this time, Huang Xiang walked alone in the park, took out his cell phone, thought for a while, but dialed it out.
"Hey! Mom, what are you doing?" Huang Xiang sat on the park bench and called.
"You prodigal child, you know you have a mother." The mother's complaint came from the phone.
"I'm sorry, mom, I'm busy recently. Are you and dad okay?" Huang Xiang asked with concern.
"Everything is good. What about you, Xiaoxiang, adapt? How is your study? Are you sick?" Mom also asked Huang Xiang's situation with concern.
"It's pretty good, huh, mom, I'm telling you something. Actually, I... miss home." I originally wanted to tell my mother about participating in the basketball team, but in the end I kept my mouth shut.
"If you miss home, come back on holiday, it's not far away anyway..." Mom's voice became more and more choked.
When you are tired, go home to rest. This is the care of many parents for their children...
I originally wanted to tell you about participating in the basketball team, but in the end I didn't say it.
After the call with his mother, Huang Xiang fell into deep thought. Is his choice right or wrong?
What if parents know what the consequences will be like after joining the basketball team? They dare not think about it, nor do they want to think about it. Take one step at a time.
After thinking about it, Huang Xiang walked towards the basketball hall. The basketball hall was not open to students normally. Only the school team could enter the training. Huang Xiang, as the captain, also has the key.
After coming to the stadium, Huang Xiang picked up a ball from the basket and rushed into the penalty area and made a double-handed dunk.
Only when I am on the court will I put down all my burdens and not think about anything, so today I have to use up all my strength on the court so that I have no energy to think about other things.
Pick up the ball and run to the outside of the three-point line to jump shot, dunk at the basket, tomahawk slam dunk, pull-up layup...
Huang Xiang was sweating all his heart's content and was completely immersed in his own world.
Everyone was immersed in a relaxed state for the next two days. This was done by Zhang Guijiang on purpose, in order to give everyone a better mentality. People cannot keep their strings tight, which may have the opposite effect. However, people cannot be in a loose state, which will make people easily collapse. Therefore, just when everyone is in joy, Zhang Guijiang gave everyone a big stick, reminding everyone that the league is about to start, starting today, strengthen training.
Whenever I get out of school, I think of the sound of basketball hitting the ground, and the students passing by are generally divided into three categories.
The first type is to ignore. Ocean University basketball is a well-known general team, so students in junior high school generally ignore it directly.
The second type is to curl your lips. People like this need not think about it. They must be sophomores, because they were disappointed last year.
The third type is expectation. These people are generally freshmen, and of course they also include some other grade students. These people either don’t know much about watching the team or are die-hard fans of the basketball team.
"Smack it."
"Everyone, I have something to say, come here." Zhang Guijiang clapped his hands to gather everyone together.
"In order to test everyone's results, before the CUBA Hebei Division event on the 23rd, I discussed with the coach of Hebei University of Electronics and gave everyone a warm-up match in advance. The location was in our school stadium, which is here. Do you have any confidence?" After Zhang Guijiang said that, he looked at everyone with a smile.
“Yes~”
The 12 people shouted together, and the passers-by outside the basketball hall significantly accelerated their pace.
"Very good. Hebei University of Electronics was the fourth place in the Hebei competition last year. It was a very powerful team. They won 12 points last year. We must get it back this year." Zhang Guijiang became more and more excited as he spoke, and he clenched his fist and raised it up as if he was inciting a revolution. Everyone was sweating wildly...
"Huang Xiang should not play in this game. Okay, everyone should have a good rest and go back first." After that, he walked out of the stadium.
"Boss, why don't you let you go?" Everyone recovered from the daze when Coach Zhang walked out of the basketball hall, and Xiao Hu even raised his own questions.
"I don't understand this. The coach is saving his strength." Wang Jian said smoothly.
"Hehe, I'm not that great yet. Let's go back and have a rest. We have to follow the coach's command." At this time, Huang Xiang stood up and said, and walked out.
It is impossible to say that he doesn't care, but Huang Xiang doesn't want to ask more, because the coach's decision must have a reason.
Huang Xiang changed a lot in college. He started running with weights in the morning and was meticulous in training. He already had the title of captain in any aspect. Both offense and defense are the most important points of the team.
The preliminaries of the Hebei Division No. 23 will start, and Ocean University No. 20 will compete with Electronics before the competition.
Huang Xiang and his men were ready, just waiting for the enemy to test. On the 20th, under the expectations of everyone, they arrived...
"Squeak~"
A bus stopped in front of the gymnasium of Ocean University, walked down nearly twenty figures, and after walking for several hours, everyone was not tired at all.
"Welcome, Coach Li, long time no see. Everyone should go inside and rest for a while. The competition will not start in an hour." Zhang Guijiang walked over and held the hand of the coach of the University of Electronics and invited everyone inside.
"Yes, Coach Zhang, long time no see." Coach Li's eyes were filled with a clear smile.
Everyone at the University of Electronics quickly entered the stadium, and the locker room of Ocean University was already full of people.
Ocean University was doing publicity at the school when it was decided to compete with Electronics University. Not to mention, the venue was really full of people today.
"Today, let's see if these idiots have made progress after a year of training, and that guy, let's see how good he is." Ouyang Xiang sat in the front seat and seemed to be waiting for something.
"Haha, I really can't do anything to you." Zhang Yan looked at Ouyang Xiang and said with a smile.
Soon both sides began to enter the game. There were no specific rules for this warm-up match, and they were generally removed directly in an unnecessary form.
After entering the venue, both parties started to warm up, and slowly adapted to their bodies during the warm-up, making the touch more intense.
Huang Xiang was exercising casually. He didn't play today anyway, so he could just make a point. Although Huang Xiang said on the surface that he didn't care, an athlete could only watch on the sidelines and not be depressed.
Ocean University is wearing a black team uniform today, with a little white pattern on the black edge.
And the University of Electronics is wearing white today, which is the opposite of it.
The players on both sides are tense and are old enemies. Although the players on both sides have changed, the coach has already explained that they must win the game.
The warm-up was completed soon, and all the players on both sides returned to the bench, and the coach began to make the final arrangements before the game started.
"Don't be nervous, just play as usual during training. The main focus is Ji Wufeng. Everyone should do their job well. The opponent's players do not have any star players, but they are known for their defense and have a comprehensive offense. Be careful, okay, come on." Zhang Guijiang was explaining some things to pay attention to.
"Everyone cheer up. We defeated them last year, and we can't lose this year. Most of them are freshmen. To prevent the one named Ji Wufeng, I don't need to introduce his level. Come on." Coach Li was also explaining everyone's precautions.
"Dou~"
With the referee's whistle sounded, the game began, and the players from both sides entered the field and introduced the starting players of both sides.
Ocean University:
Point guard: Hu Yunlong, 179 cm tall and weighs 67 kg;
Scoring guard: Wang Jian, 185 cm tall and 80 kg;
Small forward: Ji Wufeng, 192 cm tall and 82 kg;
Power forward: Yin Fei, 198 cm tall and 101 kg;
Center: Wang Shuai, 206 cm tall and 115 kg.
University of Electronics:
Point guard: Zhao Lin, 181 cm tall and weighs 81 kg;
Scoring guard: Wang Qi, 189 cm tall and 84 kg;
Small forward: Zhao Zixiong, 193 cm tall and 89 kg;
Power forward: Yang Fei, 197 cm tall and 102 kg;
Center: Li Yan, 205 cm tall and weighs 122 kg.
Starting to jump the ball, Wang Shuai easily turned the racket towards Hu Yunlong.
Hu Yunlong caught the ball and quickly moved the ball to the front court. At the same time, he raised his left hand and stretched out a finger, making a code word that only his teammates understood.
When everyone was in place, Hu Yunlong started.
Hu Yunlong quickly changed hands under his crotch, leaned his body left and took Zhao Lin's body to the left. At this time, Hu Yunlong's center of gravity was handed over his left foot, and his body suddenly changed direction and rushed to the right.
It’s not that Zhao Lin’s defense level is not good, but now Hu Yunlong’s speed is too fast. He used to be popular with speed, which was obviously much better than before after such a long period of special training.
After breaking through Zhao Lin, Hu Yunlong rushed directly to the inside line, and Yang Fei instantly gave up his defense against Yin Fei to prevent Hu Yunlong.
Hu Yunlong's speed did not decrease while moving, and he hit the ball through Yang Fei's right side, while he rushed through Yang Fei's left side.
Just when everyone thought Hu Yunlong had a man and scored the ball, Yin Fei suddenly received the ball and instantly turned around and jumped and shot the basket.
Chapter completed!
