Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 88 Future Star (2)

"This ball was really badly shot." Lu Yun suddenly snorted.

Chen Fang leaned there drinking water and said nothing when he heard this.

After five minutes of the first quarter, Chen Fang was replaced by Zhang Ruihua, and he did not move until halfway through the second quarter.

Now there are five players on the court: Wan Manlou, Yu Haisheng, Peng Can, Liu Yong and Yuan Mao. The height and strength of the lineup have been weakened a lot.

So the score gradually narrowed from the initial 13 points to 4 points.

This lineup has speed but poor defense, and both sides are in a state of mutual destruction. The only good news is that Nankai's main players have basically had no rest and have been persisting.

This is very similar to Dongsheng before. Under pressure from opponents, the former Chen Fang, now No. 10 Li Yuan, could not go down at all.

This is the tragedy of weak teams. Without a strong starting lineup and qualified rotation, the process will become very painful.

"Lu Yun." The assistant suddenly called out.

Lu Yun stood up, took off his coat and held out his hand: "Here."

"Go up and replace Yu Haisheng."

"Okay." Lu Yun proudly shook his hair towards Chen Fang.

Before the ball died, Zhang Ruihua called him over and gave him a few more instructions. Seeing how serious Lu Yun was, Chen Fang understood that deep down he was more eager to play basketball than to have fun.

"beep."

Wan Manlou's pass was hit out of the sideline, resulting in a dead ball, and Lu Yun entered the court full of fighting spirit.

If you are off the court, five minutes may seem very fast, but for those on the court, it can be slow or fast.

It depends on how well you integrate with the team. Unfortunately, Rowoon’s first performance was a failure.

All zero, not even a rebound.

In the last ten seconds, Lu Yun, who was anxious, tried to break through with the ball, but was intercepted by the opponent's No. 10 and made a fast break.

30: 32.

Nanyang Middle School ended the first half by overtaking by two points.

Lu Yun came down with a red face. Because there was no lounge, everyone spent the halftime on the bench.

Zhang Ruihua gathered everyone together and gave comments one by one.

To put it nicely is a comment, to put it bluntly is an insult.

Lu Yun was cursed the most, Yu Haisheng was second, and all the U16 students were cursed.

Apart from the U18 quartet, only Chen Fang was left standing next to the coach like a passerby, listening expressionlessly.

"Chen Fang, take the U18 team up to play for a quarter." Zhang Ruihua suddenly said.

"Okay." Chen Fang nodded.

"You five people are given a task. Just one quarter. Win by 20 points."

"Then in the fourth quarter, you pigs come on again. If you still lose the game, forget about having a career and go back to where you should be."

"Coach, how do I play?" Chen Fang asked in a low voice after everyone had dispersed.

After taking a look at him, Zhang Ruihua asked, "How do you want to fight?"

"Listen to the coach." Chen Fang said honestly.

"Play your way, connect with your teammates, and defend well."

"understood."

The halftime is very short, only five minutes.

Before people here could catch their breath, the whistle for the game had already sounded.

When the head coach of Nankai University saw Chen Fang taking four unfamiliar faces onto the court, his expression suddenly froze.

"You play point guard, just play the same way you did before." Chen Fang said to Guo Tianzhen.

Guo Tianzhen nodded repeatedly. Now that Chen Fang was the captain, what he said was the coach's words.

"Song Xuan, you and Yang Zhang control the inner line, is there any problem?"

"No!" The two said in unison.

Looking at Su Quan, Chen Fang said, "I know you are very capable. This section depends on you and Yang Zhang."

Not daring to ask why it wasn't you who was responsible, Su Quan nodded in agreement.

"You four can play freely, don't worry. If you don't get enough points, I'll make up for it."

Nankai took possession of the ball and advanced directly across half court. Chen Fang was covered. Li Yuan walked inside with the ball and faced the pressure from Yang Zhang, and passed the ball to his teammates on the wing.

His teammate made a fake shot, but Su Quan, who came over, didn't get fooled and instead covered him.

Li Yuan came out again and supported his teammates.

Facing Chen Fang who was following him, he changed direction and tried to break through again, but Chen Fang saw him clearly and cut him off.

The person passes by and the ball stays where it is.

Chen Fang intercepted the ball and pushed forward immediately. He saw Guo Tianzhen running forward at high speed and passed the ball with both hands in advance, allowing Guo Tianzhen to receive the ball, dribble once and take off.

The one-handed slam dunk sounded the clarion call for Shanti's crazy scoring in the third quarter.

In terms of defense, even though Chen Fang could easily pass through due to his physical condition, Yang Zhang and Song Xuan who came in behind were enough to delay the opponent.

Nankai’s problem is that it does not have many offensive firepower points, and it has to rely on Li Yuan to connect the dots and also rely on him to solve the problem.

And the defense was crushed.

Yang Zhang's inside and outside shots, Su Quan's wing jump shot, Song Xuan's half-court shot, and Guo Tianzhen's three-pointer, these five people were full of firepower. In just three minutes, they overtook the score and established a six-point advantage.

As the link in positional warfare, Chen Fang's passes were extremely deadly and almost every time they were passed could be considered an assist.

Seeing that the score was about to be widened, the Nankai coach decisively called a timeout.

Zhang Ruihua did not make any arrangements. He could see that the opponent had no tricks. The level difference was at least two levels, which allowed the players to play freely.

The only thing he was not satisfied with was that Chen Fang did not attack and shared the ball too much.

So he grabbed Chen Fang and asked, "You won't even take two pairs?"

Chen Fang was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

In a blink of an eye, the game resumed. Chen Fang held the ball at the top of the arc and defeated Li Yuan alone, and then made a pull-up jump shot to face his opponent.

This goal refreshed everyone's perception that No. 21 could actually make a three-point jump shot.

Turning around, Chen Fang suddenly directed the others to press the entire court and snatched the ball from Nankai.

The young boy felt the malice of the adult world. Chen Fang did not hear the wailing sound at all after he grabbed the ball. He glanced at the three-point line, dribbled the ball and retreated out of the three-point line without any adjustment. He shot freely, just like in training.

Hollow into the net.

A coach stood up and clapped.

So far, Chen Fang has made all four three-pointers.

Someone went to check the scoreboard and saw that Shanti was leading Nankai by 46 points, 32:14.

No. 21 Chen Fang's data of 12 points, 11 assists and 4 steals were shining brightly.

"He plays in a very old-school way. He's a guard who plays with his brain," commented several senior coaches.

"It's a pity that Master Fan is not here. He went to another venue."

"Shouldn't it be Wang Datou?" someone laughed.

"One U16 and one U18, both meet the standards. In my opinion, Nankai's level is too low to prove anything."

"They're not that bad. He's holding back on his foul language. These five guys in the third quarter should be his starting lineup." A bald coach said sharply.

There was a lot of discussion in the stands, and the situation on the field was even more one-sided.

With three minutes left in the third quarter, Guo Tianzhen received a pass from Chen Fang and hit a three-pointer, giving Shanti a 21-point lead.

"It's collapsed!" The head coach of Nankai University looked as pale as death. He was a little nervous before coming, but when he thought about his players, he felt that they would not be too bad.

I always thought that my team could perform well, but I didn't expect that the professional youth team would be so terrifying.

Some high school coaches were also watching, and their faces looked unhappy as well.

In the morning, Tsinghua High School won against Shanxi Youth Team by a large margin, which made them feel that the youth team was just so-so. But in the first game in the afternoon, Shanti showed them what the word professionalism meant.

Except for No. 21, all of them are two-meter teenagers who can fly and shoot. With this height, they all play center in their team, but they are all forwards and guards.

As soon as he exerted his strength, the game was disrupted.

Come to think of it, the high school only recruits students within the city and has to face competition from other schools, while the youth training team covers the entire province, and they are different in terms of base and quality.

Not to mention the hardware and software, it is a strange thing to let the head coach of the NBL lead the youth training team.

Of course, this also happens in China. In the United States, college coaches even refuse invitations from NBA teams.

The mechanism is so cruel. If there were no exchange competition, many high school and college coaches would not realize this.

The static qualities of the players have always been the cornerstone of team building. With this, we can talk about other things such as tactical systems.

The whistle for the third quarter finally sounded, 62 to 38.

In one quarter, Nankai only scored 6 points.

Shanti won honor for the youth training team today and regained its face.

After Chen Fang finished his performance, he sat there and Zhang Ruihua personally handed him water, which made Lu Yun, who wanted to offer him water, quietly retreat.

"How does it feel?"

Chen Fang wiped his sweat and replied: "Not bad, I still have a little bit of energy."

"Have a good rest." Zhang Ruihua got the answer and sat back. It seems that the poor physical fitness is indeed congenital. He has learned about Chen Fang's recent training. He has not fallen behind in swimming and long-distance running. But after playing for ten minutes, it can be seen that his physical fitness is declining.

The fact that the fifth three-pointer missed was a good proof of this.

He had read the physical examination report and also knew the conclusion from the expert consultation. Although Zhang Ruihua didn't quite believe it, seeing Chen Fang's amazing hit rate, he couldn't help but believe it a little more.

In the fourth quarter, under the threat of the coach, the U16 team played extremely aggressively, which made many coaches in the stands feel that it was excessive.

Thinking of Zhang Ruihua's notoriety, the impression deepened.

Nankai was in disarray, and the main players had hardly any rest, so they collapsed. In the last five minutes, the Nankai coach replaced the main players and conceded defeat.

The mountain's first appearance was perfect, but it also caused the first tragedy of today's competition.

87:49.

A 38-point victory over Nankai Middle School.

The next team to play came in and they thought their eyes were playing tricks when they saw the score.

After learning the truth, the way both teams looked at the mountain changed.

"Brother, the data of No. 21 is so exaggerated?" Hao Bowen from Shijiazhuang No. Middle School touched the main guard, Zhu Bairan.

Zhu Bairan narrowed his eyes and looked at it: "What?"

Hao Bowen then remembered that his brother was nearsighted, and quickly said: "12 points, 15 assists, and 5 steals."

"15 assists?" Zhu Bairan was also surprised.

"Isn't this too fake?" the other teammates shouted.

"It's quite fake." Chen Fang, who was passing by, stopped and said seriously when he heard it.

When they turned around and saw the jersey, the faces of his teammates from No. 2 Middle School changed. Then when Chen Fang turned around and walked out of the court with his teammates, everyone saw the number on his back.

21 number.

Embarrassed.

"Him? He looks to be only about 1.80 meters tall." Hao Bowen was quite shocked.

"Don't think about it, just warm up quickly." As the captain, Zhu Bairan asked everyone to focus on the game.

After his teammates walked over, he looked back and saw a blurry figure gradually disappearing.

We will meet sooner or later.

he thought to himself.

Maybe it was because they completed the coach's task, or maybe it was because the coach did not come back with them, anyway, Shanti was laughing and chatting on the way back.

Arriving at the hotel entrance, the assistant conveyed the coach's instructions: "Take a shower, rest, everyone can move around the base freely, such as going to Building 5 for rehabilitation, but please return to the hotel at 7pm for the post-match meeting."

Back in his room, Lu Yun asked, "Who's going to wash first? Why don't we do it together?"

"Thank you, you go first." Chen Fang refused.

"OK, I'm fast." In the last quarter, Lu Yun scored 6 points and had a block, and he felt much better.

It was indeed very quick, and it felt like a shower, and Lu Yun came out wrapped in a bath towel.

Chen Fang waited for a while, until the steam dissipated, before going in to take a shower.

When I came out, Lu Yun was gone. Just as I was wondering, I saw Lu Yun push the door and walk in.

"Hey, I found a good place." He looked mysterious.

"what?"

"There's a coffee shop behind us, wanna go? I'll buy you an Americano."

"This is really possible." Chen Fang became excited.

Drinking coffee about half an hour after exercise can not only relieve fatigue, but also reduce fatigue and replenish energy. It has the effect of short-term mental boost and muscle recovery.

In his previous life, Chen Fang liked to have a cup of American coffee after the game.

After getting dressed, the two men groped their way out of the hotel and went straight to the coffee shop through the back door.

At this time, several groups of people were already sitting at the tables and chairs arranged outside the coffee shop. Chen Fang found an empty seat and sat down.

Not long after, Lu Yun brought over two cups. The two of them couldn't wait to take a sip and let out comfortable moans.

Coffee is a lot like Coke, in that the first few sips are very refreshing, but the rest of the taste is very bland.

After a few sips, Chen Fang closed his eyes and lay there relaxing, then he heard Lu Yun say, "Do you think we should go to the rehabilitation center later?"

"Of course I have to go. I can't handle a competition every day." Chen Fang replied.

"You played really well today. It seems like you are different every day." Lu Yun sighed.

"Why, you seem unhappy?"

“Isn’t it normal to be unhappy?”

A burst of noise interrupted their chat. They came back to their senses and saw two groups of people arguing about something not far away.

"Hey, why is there a woman here?" Lu Yunqi asked.

After all, they were not far away and could still hear the sound roughly. The two of them pricked up their ears and listened for a while, and roughly understood something or two.

It turned out that the tall girl with unrestrained clothing felt uncomfortable being stared at, so she told her companions. The two male companions were not happy about it and came up to criticize her.

The three boys opposite denied it flatly and started arguing.

"Can we bring people in here?" Chen Fang was surprised.

"It's probably a local team. But this woman is too self-righteous. If all women in the world are like this, I'll be beaten to death." Lu Yun said, crossing his legs.

His voice was quite loud and immediately attracted the girls' attention.

He rushed over and said, "Who are you calling self-righteous?"

Lu Yun spat to the side and said lazily, "Just tell whoever asks. What, are you biting me?"

Chen Fang was speechless about Lu Yun's ability to stir up trouble. It was impossible for him not to think of lowering his voice to discuss the matter. All he could say was that he did it on purpose.

Maybe the girl had already been irritated by the three men just now, and after being provoked by Lu Yun, she exploded immediately.

She raised her high-heeled shoes and kicked Lu Yun.

Lu Yun was also caught off guard and was kicked directly, and immediately fell to the ground with the chair.

"Do you think I don't dare to hit a woman?" Lu Yun jumped up angrily and slapped her.

The slap didn't land on her face. Instead, the girl crouched down and threw a right hook, hitting Lu Yun accurately on the chin.

So Chen Fang watched Lu Yun fall straight to the ground like a piece of wood, and then began to twitch.

"Hit me? When I was the boxing champion, you were still drinking milk! You are so stubborn, look at your character!"

"Are you his friend?" The girl looked at Chen Fang.

"Yes." Chen Fang was very calm, but took half a step back.

Holy shit, is this the legendary Beijing girl? In comparison, Wu Zi is super gentle.

"Send him back to the room. I know the strength of my punch. It's no big deal. Just put an ice pack on it." The girl might have felt good, so she calmed down.

The quarrel over there also stopped because of Lu Yun's heroic sacrifice. The three people who caused the trouble, seeing that things were not going well, didn't even dare to say a word and just slipped away.

"Don't... go, you... fucking... don't go." Lu Yun, who had recovered, struggled to get up, but failed several times.

"Forget about it, just lie there quietly. I'm Dan Caiyun from No. 4 Middle School. If you have the courage, you're always welcome to compete with me." After saying this, the girl spat on the ground and walked away.

KO in boxing is basically a tonic reaction. After a hit, the blood supply to the brain is interrupted, causing dizziness and nerve paralysis.

Generally speaking, it takes a dozen seconds to regain most of the body control, which is why boxing matches have a ten-second count.

Lu Yun's physique was very good and he was able to move. His brain recovered even faster. Looking at the expressionless Chen Fang in front of him, he said bitterly: "Laugh if you want to."

"I hope you don't blame me for not taking action." Chen Fang said, "But I think I can't beat him, so I can't help."

"It's retribution." Lu Yun sat on the ground, pounding the ground and wanting to cry but without tears.

"Let's go, don't embarrass yourself. It's not too late to cry in the room." Chen Fang held back his laughter and helped Lu Yun up.

Along the way, Lu Yun repeatedly reminded him not to tell anyone and to keep his innocent life in this world.

This trip was a great success, but we left disappointed.

"Let me be alone." After arriving at the room, Lu Yun rushed into the bathroom, closed the door, and left quietly.

Chen Fang had no choice but to do his homework. About ten minutes later, Lu Yun came out refreshed, leaving Chen Fang stunned.

This psychological recovery ability is so strong, just like someone who is fine.

"I have decided that I will take revenge on this woman."

"Shan Caiyun, what a tacky name. I will remember her forever!" Lu Yun gritted his teeth.

"Hey, how do you take revenge?" Chen Fang asked curiously.

"I will seduce her, make her fall in love with me, and then cruelly abandon her. The physical pain is not enough to erase my humiliation. I will leave a scar deep in her heart that will never heal."

"Wow, great idea. I admire you." Chen Fang was amazed by Lu Yun's Ah Q spirit.

"Just wait, buddy may not be as good as you at playing basketball, but when it comes to handling women, there is a big gap between you and me." Lu Yun said confidently.

"Then I'll wait and see. Should I go to rehab?"

"No, you go alone. I need to start working on the outline."

Chen Fang held back his laughter and walked out quickly. It must be said that the emotional value given by Lu Yun was really on point.

　Some people said before that a game should be written in seven or eight chapters, but it really depends on the situation. If you write more, it means that you are growing up and it is a necessary preparation for the reasonable plot. Now, how to summarize the game in one stroke is actually the easiest.
