Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 14: First time playing football
The school dismissal bell has rung for the third time, which means the school is starting to clear out and close the doors, but this has no impact on the training of the school teams, as they have certain privileges just like the sports classes and college classes.

The sky was already dark, and eight shadowless lights had already been lit, illuminating the Dongsheng Stadium as bright as day, and making the sweaty, shirtless players shine brightly.

Captain Yue sat there, drinking water in big gulps, and asked Chen Fang: "Do we have to score ten goals in a row to finish?"

"If you just want to score a certain number of goals, then you can't really concentrate. Only training that requires continuous scoring is qualified and effective."

Chen Fang's explanation dispelled Yue Gang's plea. Among the ten people in the team, four had not yet completed the training. They were repeatedly doing three-step layups, gritting their teeth and persisting for the fatal consecutive shots.

Chen Fang took out his whistle and blew it loudly. When everyone was looking at him, he took the ball and walked into the penalty area of the court.

"You guys go drink some water and take a break first." Chen Fang asked the players who had not completed their tasks to leave the court first, and then said, "High hand layup, low hand layup, side hand layup, and reverse layup. These four types of layups are what we must use in fast breaks, and reverse layups and side hand layups are practical layups."

"There are no technical details involved, just practice more."

"Focus on getting up, and when you jump, focus on your hands."

"Many times, you neglected your concentration because the layup was too simple, which is why you are unable to maintain consecutive hits now."

"It's time to correct your bad habits."

"Layup training is conducted every day. I hope everyone can make some improvements during this period of time."

"Captain, does the team have any plans for tomorrow?" Chen Fang thought of something and asked Yue Gang.

"No, but I thought about it yesterday. Starting from this week, for the two weekends, everyone can take out the afternoon time and gather at 4 o'clock. Is that okay?"

"No problem," the reply came loudly despite being tired.

"Chen Fang, do you have anything else to say?" Yue Gang knew that it was time to end the training.

"I'll arrange tomorrow's training. Everyone can go online at home to learn the details and prepare for it when they have time."

"Tomorrow's training will be divided into two parts. The first part is the fatal 1-fold run, which is a shuttle run between the two sidelines. The standard time is based on height. The shuttle run standard for our height should be within minute."

"The total distance of the shuttle run is only 225 meters, but why is it called life-threatening? The difficulty lies in the sudden start and stop. This is an anaerobic exercise that tests the heart and lungs, knee joints, and ankle joints. So, everyone should go online to preview how to exert force and posture correctly."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started whispering. Those who knew the truth quickly ran back to tell the ignorant person about the danger.

After Chen Fang calmed down a bit, he continued, "The second part is the fast break training of three passes and two passes throughout the court, including one dribble and a technical test without dribbling."

After he finished speaking, Chen Fang asked as usual: "If you have any questions, ask them now."

No one raised their hand. Chen Fang looked at Yue Gang, meaning that he should be the one to announce the disbandment.

"Okay, there's no such thing as being late for training, there's only early training. The previous rules are still valid, let's disband." Yue Gang reminded his teammates with a stern face.

"I'll come at three o'clock, don't worry, Captain!" Xue Chong shouted.

"Get out of here now." Yue Gang cursed with a smile and walked towards Chen Fang.

Chen Fang handed the training outline to Yue Gang: "Take a look at it when you have time in the evening." After saying that, he was about to leave with his schoolbag.

"Is it urgent?" Yue Gang asked hurriedly.

Chen Fang took a look and knew that Yue Gang had something to say. Looking at Yue Gang's rather mature face, he suddenly had an idea: "It's indeed urgent, but if you're okay, we can go together."

"Together?" Yue Gang was stunned for a moment, but immediately agreed: "I don't have anything to do tonight, so I just want to ask you a few questions."

"it is good."

Not long after, Chen Fang and Yue Gang rode out of the school from the south gate. Yue Gang asked as they rode: "Where are we going? How far is it?"

"About half an hour. Any questions?"

"Small idea."

Twenty minutes later, Yue Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked suspiciously at the majestic gate of the Public Security Bureau, and asked Chen Fang: "This?"

"Yes!" Chen Fang pushed the car towards the side door. The old man at the door stuck his head out of the window and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I made an appointment with Captain Wang. Let's play basketball!" Chen Fang replied with a smile.

The old man first glanced at Chen Fang, who was smiling harmlessly, then looked at the tall Yue Gang behind him, pressed the switch, and the gate of the side door was raised.

After entering the courtyard, Yue Gang asked quietly: "Come here to play ball?"

"Yeah, have you ever fought with an adult?"

Yue Gang hesitated for a moment, but still answered: "I played in the first half, but almost not in the whole game."

"Oh, I thought the captain was experienced." Chen Fang made a joke, and Yue Gang quickly explained: "The old captain said that before you become an adult, don't play basketball. It's easy to get injured and get into trouble!"

Chen Fang nodded: "What the old captain said makes sense. But I asked you to come here today, not to play basketball."

"Then why? Did you do something wrong?" Yue Gang was a little anxious.

"No, it's nothing. Just don't say anything and listen." After Chen Fang finished his instructions, he arrived at the basketball court in the backyard.

This is a semi-indoor plastic court with a steel frame structure and a roof. At the moment, the court is in full play. There are several people sitting on the benches on the sidelines. Chen Fang took a look and saw Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan should be just over 50 this year, but he has the energy and spirit of a young man. He stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, giving orders non-stop with a loud and powerful voice.

Chen Fang pulled the somewhat stage-frightened Yue Gang and quietly entered through the door. He asked Yue Gang to sit down and he moved in. Wang Yuan must have been thirsty from scolding, so he sat back to moisten his throat. When he looked back, he saw a young man sitting next to his luggage bag.

After taking another look, Wang Yuan picked up the water beside him and gulped down half of the bottle.

"Uncle, can you add more?" Chen Fang suddenly asked.

"Puff." Wang Yuan almost choked on this. He looked at Chen Fang's sincere face and touched the water stain on his mouth: "Little friend, we are playing a game, so we don't have time."

"I played very well. Look at the guard in red clothes, he can't even control the ball." Chen Fang made another shocking statement.

Chen Fang was referring to Ma Jun, the leading defender of the political and legal system. Wang Yuan was amused by Chen Fang's brazen words and asked with interest: "Are you better than him?"

"Much stronger! If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you." Chen Fang was secretly delighted when he saw Wang Yuan picking up the conversation, and immediately spoke according to the plan.

"Haha!" Wang Yuan just laughed and asked casually, "You are wearing a school uniform. Are you a high school student or a junior high school student?"

"I'm going to be a senior in high school soon! What, uncle, do you look down on me?" Chen Fang curled his lips. Seeing that Wang Yuan ignored him, Chen Fang said, "The American high school team can beat our national team. Basketball is about skills, not age!"

Wang Yuan was just about to make a joke when an accident happened on the court. Ma Yong stepped on the defender's foot during a fast break and immediately fell to the ground with a cry of pain.

The game was stopped immediately and a group of people gathered around. Wang Yuan ran over quickly. After a while, several burly men carried Ma Yong, who had sprained his ankle, off the field. Wang Yuan, who came back with them, had a dark face.

Just as the official game was about to begin, the political and legal system was unable to put together a complete training lineup due to being involved in a major case. After finally getting ten people together to play, now the starting guard is injured.

The autumn basketball league of government agencies, no matter where it is, has one common feature, there must be several good systems.

Education, banking, politics and law are the iron triangle.

One has a large base, one has the right to flexibly recruit from the society, and one has good quality.

The political and legal system has always been a strong team in the Nanyang government competition. But this year was not a good year, and the best soldiers and generals were all working in other places to handle cases. The old leader also required the top four goal. During this period, Wang Yuan was really angry.

Now the players are not complete, and the main point guard was injured after just one quarter of the game. He thought about playing himself, but he was afraid that his wife would find out and would definitely scold him.

His eyes inadvertently glanced at the boy who had just spoken. He was sitting on a bench, dribbling a ball out of boredom. The basketball was flying flexibly between his legs like a butterfly.

Just looking at the dribbling, there is indeed something.

Wang Yuan sat down and asked with a smile: "Young man, do you really dare to go on stage?"

"I dare. There is no intensity in school and it's too boring. I have no choice but to come out to find intensity!" Chen Fang raised his eyebrows and said very confidently.

He knew that Wang Yuan particularly liked confident players. The better you are, the more he appreciates you.

"Good, very domineering!" Wang Yuan liked it more and more the more he looked at it, and he immediately flattered it.

"Take a break and continue playing later." He stood up and pointed at Chen Fang: "Let him play point guard."

The team members had no objection because they were short of people. Besides, everyone knew Captain Wang. He was the one who kept his word. If you dared to contradict him, he would make things difficult for you.

Chen Fang stood up, blinked at Yue Gang who was standing beside him in a daze after witnessing the whole process, put on his coat, revealing the black short-sleeved T-shirt underneath, and went on stage to warm up.

Wang Yuan also noticed Yue Gang. He would definitely notice a boy of this size. "Young man, come and have a bottle of water."

"Thank you, uncle." Yue Gang took it with both hands stiffly.

"You play ball, too?"

"Fight, at school." Yue Gang quickly added.

"Which school are you from?" Wang Yuan began to ask as usual.

"Dongsheng High School, uncle."

"Oh, a key high school. My nephew is a teacher in this school. What's your name?"

"Yue Gang, the Yue in Yue Fei, and the Gang in birthday gang." Yue Gang answered in a low voice, holding the mineral water in both hands.

"Nice name, is this your friend?"

"Yes, his name is Chen Fang, and he is the core of our school team."

"Oh, no wonder you're so confident. Haha, heroes emerge from youth!" Wang Yuan became a little interested and waved at the court: "Hurry up and play, don't dawdle."

While the two were chatting, Chen Fang had already had a brief communication with his team.

"Please take care of me!" Chen Fang said to a big man with bulging arms and chest.

"Go ahead and fight. I won't push you too hard." The opponent is Qian Lin, the team's backup guard. He benefited directly from Ma Jun's injury and is still happy now.

Chen Fang was laughing, but when the ball was thrown to him at the baseline, his face immediately turned cold, which made Qian Lin stunned.

As soon as the ball was hit, Chen Fang waved his hand: "Go ahead."

"This kid is in charge as soon as he comes on the court. He is indeed a good defender." Wang Yuan praised him instead.

Yue Gang next to him was laughing, but his mind was full of thoughts. He was actually looking forward to it and wanted to see if Chen Fang was as amazing in the adult group.
