Those hot basketball days

Dragon City Sports Bureau.

Director Liu Yucheng was sitting in his office with a depressed face, looking down at the newspaper in his hand.

The phone on the desk rang suddenly. Liu Yucheng muttered in his mouth, then quickly picked up the phone and said, "Hey, I'm Liu Yucheng." "

Oh, Mayor Lin, yes, yes, I heard. Liu Yucheng replied quickly: "To be honest, I didn't expect the Z high to play like this, this year's provincial league, there are two of our teams, and the seventh middle school has won all the way, and the first round of the group stage is all the way, and the momentum is strong." Z high over here... After

a few more words on the phone, Liu Yucheng's face was a little ugly, and the mayor's tone was a little stern.

"I know that the highest national runner-up last year, and our Longcheng City has indeed benefited a lot in this competition, both in terms of popularity and economy, it has improved a notch, yes, yes. You're right, joke, no, it's only been three games, and there are three group games left in the second round. Besides, we still have seven middle schools, don't we?" Liu Yucheng quickly explained.

Is it so exaggerated as the mayor said? Just because of a high school basketball league, our dragon city has become a joke in the eyes of other cities

?" "Yes, yes, yes, I also think Lao Zheng has a big problem, but after all, he is also a meritorious coach, and he brought Z high all the way to the finals of the national competition last year, and now it is still during the game, and the temporary change of coach may have a great impact on the morale of the children, and then there is a little more, where to find a coach at this time?" Liu Yucheng said tentatively.

After a few more words on the phone, Liu Yucheng nodded again and again, and the expression on his face became panicked.

"Yes, yes, okay, Mayor Lin, don't worry, I'll do it immediately!" Liu Yucheng said quickly.

"No problem, the first round is over, according to this year's format, there is a five-day break between the first round and the second round, and then the first game of the second round is on the fifth day, that is, there are still ten days left, you give me three days, I promise to find a new coach!" Liu Yucheng patted his chest and said.

A few more words were said on the other side of the phone, obviously some words of encouragement, the expression on Liu Yucheng's face immediately eased a lot, and after a few more greetings, Liu Yucheng hung up the phone in a panic.

couldn't help but exhale, then rubbed his cheeks violently with both hands, shook his head, and said: "Lao Zheng, it's not that my brother won't help you, now the mayor will speak personally, and no one will be able to keep your position as the head coach."

The school bus with the highest school in Longcheng slowly stopped at the school gate, Zheng Xueqi and Hu Xu did not speak, and got off the bus as soon as possible and went straight to the principal's office, leaving all the team members still sitting on the bus in a daze.

Ye Su was expressionless, beckoned everyone to get out of the car, and then instructed a few words, signaling everyone to continue to come to the stadium to train tomorrow, and then put on his travel bag and slowly left the school.

Su Ce stared at his tall back that was gradually moving away, feeling an unprecedented sense of loss and melancholy.

Just this afternoon, the third round of the group stage of Z Gao was once again played at the Fengtian Olympic Sports Stadium, and Z Gao, who had lost two in a row, was once again forced to the edge of the cliff.

Everyone will think that the Z-high will be ashamed and courageous, play their true strength to fight for a victory, and at least retain a little hope of qualifying. Because the opponent Qianyang Ergao is the same as himself, it is also a team with 0 wins and 2 losses.

All the fans who supported Dragon City Z High, who could not come to the scene to cheer in person, also stayed in front of the TV, paying attention to their final game of life and death in the group stage.

I don't know if the players are too nervous, or the tactics of Qianyang Ergao are too targeted, or because of the outdated and backward tactics of Z Gao, Dragon City Z Gao, who is in a desperate situation of life and death, actually played the worst game ever.

Coupled with the wonderful performance of another team in Dragon City, Dragon City No. 7 Middle School, those who once supported the highest Dragon City residents had to admit a fact at this time.

"Dragon City is the tallest in the city, but that's it. "

From the beginning of the first quarter, the whole team was completely like not waking up, except for Su Ce, the whole team didn't score one of the 8 shots, and at the same time took care of one or the other on the defensive end, everyone was like never playing by the opponent all kinds of breakthroughs, bukkake, and dunks, and fell behind by 13 points in the first quarter with 25:12.

And these 12 points were almost completely obtained by Su Ce alone.

The entire Longcheng Z High team did not have an assist, while Qianyang No. 2 Middle School blossomed as a team, and all the scores came from the cooperation between the teams, making Longcheng Z High, the national runner-up last year, a fart and pee.

In the second quarter, the situation became more and more serious, as the defense on the opposite side became more and more intense, Su Ce became more and more difficult with every point, and the shooting rate of his teammates was still ridiculously poor, obviously there was no one two meters in front of him, but the ball just couldn't be thrown.

Even Shi Wenbo, who has always been stable, is 0 of 5 three-point shots, Ye Su is slightly better than him, 1 of 6 shots, and Qianyang Ergao seems to be how to shoot and score as if the whole team has been drugged again, as if the Z-high basket is like the sea.

In this case, the game has long lost its suspense, which also makes the fans who have always supported Z Gao feel cold.

At 100:46, Z Gao was in this situation, and was humiliated by Qianyang Er Gao with a score of 54 points! The

entire Yanning Province immediately exploded, and all the coaches and experts who had followed the high school league games had to admit that Longcheng Z High was not a strong team at all.

Zheng Xueqi immediately became the target of public criticism, because his inaction and the tactical level shown in the game were really much worse than others.

And so brings us to the conversation at the beginning.

The mayor of Longcheng City called the Sports Bureau as soon as the game ended, asking Zheng Xueqi to get out of class quickly! Zheng Xueqi

and Hu Xu, who had just finished the game, couldn't care about the overall mood and state of the players, and immediately took the whole team back after the press conference after the game.

Going home after a big defeat really made all the Z-tall players feel sour in their hearts.

Su Ce also knows that the current problem of his team does lie with the coach, not that the coach's level is not good, but his tactical concept does not match the staffing of the current team at all.

The current team's scoring points are basically on the outside, and the scoring points on the inside are basically bulldozer-like players who are slow and don't attack in the face. This is too much for other teams that are now speeding up as a whole.

Therefore, Zheng Xueqi, who has always advocated the inner line to drive the outer line and insisted on positional warfare, the current lineup is much worse.

Just like the Zen master can't play a triangle offense in the Knicks, and D'Antoni can't play a run and bomb in the Lakers, with the current Z-high lineup configuration, there is no room for Zheng Xueqi to play at all, so a change of coach is inevitable.

What makes everyone even more uncomfortable is the next game, now they are all defeated in the first round and ranked fourth in the group, the first is 3-0 Changxian No. 1 Middle School, the second is 2-1 Xihu Yigao, even if the highest is to win all three games in the second round, whether it can appear depends on the faces of other opponents.

This made Su Ce, who had always been Xi of taking the initiative in his own hands, feel a panic that he had never felt before.

Not to mention the players, it was not easy to restore the confidence of the whole team through team building, and in just two games, the whole team was once again beaten back to its original shape, not to mention the last game, and now everyone is curled up in their seats one by one as if they have lost their souls. The entire school bus was completely devoid of life.

Su Ce wanted to encourage his teammates, but what could he say at this time? he said everything he should say, and he said everything he could say and couldn't say, and even Jia Ming, who had always had a good attitude, was sullen at this time.

Su Ce knew that he couldn't fall, because if he also fell at this time, then the team would be completely hopeless in the future.

But how to save the current team

? In the past, when Longcheng mentioned the name of Z high, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, not only in basketball, but also in terms of teaching quality and teachers, but now? When you hear the word Z high, you can't help but despise or despise it.

A feeling of disgust that had never existed before permeated the entire Dragon City.

No matter where you are in the streets and alleys, once someone asks, "Do you know that Longcheng is the tallest?" Someone will immediately come out and reply to you: "Oh? Isn't it the cowardice school that coaxed Niu B at home and then went out of the province to recognize his father? Who doesn't know!"

Looking at this frame in the city, changing the coach has become inevitable, not to mention the question of whether the coach is good or not, even if it is found, there are only 10 days left and ten days, where can the team improve?

And depending on the current state of the team, let alone ten days, even if it is a month or a year, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out of the shadow of failure.

I vaguely remember that when the whole team swore to set off from Longcheng City to Fengtian, they were full of spirit, and everyone was thinking about how to defeat Fengtian No. 29 Middle School to break into the national competition, and then go to Changbai No. 7 Middle School where Yang Ning is located for revenge.

But now?

Su Ce sighed helplessly, feeling weak and weak, walking aimlessly in the school.

Zhao Xuanting understood his feelings, and she couldn't care so much at this time, so she kept holding his hand tightly, comforting him, and sharing his pain.

Zhao Xuanting also knew that after the three-day competition, the pressure on Su Ce's shoulders was too great.

Although I am not a player, I can clearly feel a deep despair when I sit on the sidelines and watch the game.

He is still like this, not to mention him who is desperately trying to continue his life for the team on the field and trying to encourage his teammates with his actual actions.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look up at Su Ce's handsome side face, how did I look at the face that used to look extremely sunny and handsome, and how did I feel lonely at this time.

Forget it, don't worry about it so much, just accompany him.

Zhao Xuanting thought about it, so she held hands with him and walked aimlessly in the school.

"Excuse me, is it Su Ce?" I don't know how long it took, a gentle female voice came from behind him.

Su Ce and the others turned around when they heard this, a reporter-like person stood there, and Su Ce recognized it, this was the beautiful reporter who had been covering his team.

Nodding his head, he asked, "Is there anything wrong

?" Sun Jun pushed his glasses and said softly: "I heard that you went back to Longcheng without attending the press conference, so I also rushed back in a hurry, I want to interview you a few words, is it convenient?"

Su Ce subconsciously wanted to say that it was inconvenient, but after all, people came back from afar, and it was really hard, so he nodded and said, "It's convenient."

Sun Jun smiled and said, "Thank you." He looked around, pointed to a bench not far away, and said, "Sit down and talk?"

Su Ce nodded, walked quickly to the bench, and then sat down.

Sun Jun sat on the other side, and Xi cocked Erlang's legs by inertia.

Zhao Xuanting stood behind him obediently and did not speak.

Sun Jun said abruptly: "I have been paying attention to your game, but I didn't expect this ending.

Su Ce sighed and said, "I didn't expect it either.

Sun Jun said: "For these three games

, where do you think the problem is?" Su Ce heard this, and subconsciously thought that she was going to gossip, so he snorted heavily and said: "You asked me where the problem is, how do I know

?" Sun Jun saw that he misunderstood himself and said: "I don't mean anything else, it's just that the fans who care about you now think it's Coach Zheng, and you, as the number one star in the team, also think so?"

Su Ce knew that she didn't want to fall into the well, so he looked apologetic and said: "I don't think it's the coach's problem, it's just that we didn't play well."

Sun Jun said: "I don't know if you know the current situation, Coach Zheng has been forced out of class by the Sports Bureau, and your school is now looking for a new coach."

Su Ce was taken aback, he didn't know the news, so he asked, "What did you say?" Coach Zheng... Dismissed?

" Sun Jun nodded and said: "Yes, as soon as the game ended, the news had already spread, Coach Zheng brought you back in such a hurry, firstly, he wanted to return home after the fiasco to make adjustments, and on the other hand, he came to hand over the work."

Su Ce shook his head, sighed, and said, "I don't know.

Sun Jun said: "Actually, I can understand, because once things don't develop as expected, people must choose someone to take the blame." Coach Zheng is very capable, but the configuration of your team cannot play his personal philosophy.

When Su Ce heard this, his originally lowered head suddenly raised suddenly, and said, "You think so too

?" Sun Jun nodded and said: "Yes, a coach who was the runner-up in the country last year, how bad can his ability be?" But your team obviously has a lot of talented players, but you just can't play, which can only mean that your staffing does not match his philosophy.

Su Ce said gratefully: "Thank you for saying this, I hope you can tell everyone who supports us with these words."

Sun Jun nodded and said, "I will." Have you ever thought about what are you going to do in the next few days?"

Su Ce shook his head in confusion, he hadn't thought about this question at all.

What else can I do? What else can I do, even people with good mentality like Ye Su and Jia Ming have suffered this kind of blow now, what is the need for training if their mentality can't recover

? Sun Jun said: "If you haven't found a suitable coach after ten days, then how are you going to compete? Give up? Give up the results of your hard work for so long, give up your dreams?"

Su Ce shook his head violently again and did not speak.

It's not that he doesn't want to speak, because he doesn't know how to say it, although even if he kills himself, he doesn't want to just give up. But the cruel reality is in front of us

, if there is really no coach, when it comes to the second round of the game, what will I do? Let's not talk about the tactical problem, even if it is the cohesion of the team, I am afraid it will be greatly reduced, if it goes on like this, let alone want to rely on the second round of the game to counterattack, even if you want to win a game, it is estimated that it is a difficult thing.

When Su Ce was hesitating, Zhao Xuanting on the side spoke: "We won't give up the game, because this is what we have always dreamed of, and we must protect it personally!"

Su Ce heard this, and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xuanting next to him gratefully.

Sun Jun was also a little surprised, he didn't expect the little leader of this team to have such a side.

Su Ce asked: "Sister, I want to ask you, what do you mean by what you just said?" After a pause, he continued: "If Coach Zheng is dismissed, shouldn't there have been a

candidate, why is there a situation where there is no coach?" Sun Jun shook his head and said: "The truth is not as you said, the current situation of your team is that the coach is temporarily dismissed, so there is no good candidate to replace him, and at the same time, he is not willing to clean up this mess."

Su Ce was taken aback and asked: "What does it mean that 'no one wants to clean up this mess', how is this a mess?"

Sun Jun said: "You are the national runner-up team last year, and your starting point is very high, and now you have lost three consecutive defeats and become a street rat that everyone shouts at.

Su Ce nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Sun Jun said: "And the first thing the new coach has to do is to solve your morale problem, because in my opinion, the morale of your team can be said to be at the bottom."

Su Ce nodded and said, "You're right, that's why I'm so upset today."

Sun Jun nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Su Ce said: "Actually, I can probably know that the reason why everyone gets together is because they like basketball, which is a very simple and beautiful thing. Because I like it, I am willing to work hard for it and enjoy the happiness that every fierce game brings to me.

"But when the day really comes when the attention is high, the mood will naturally change, and the awe of basketball itself will gradually deteriorate, and it will be lost in the sugar-coated shells of the media and fans. I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the kind of unscrupulous media that you don't have to brain.

Sun Jun nodded with a smile, indicating that he understood.

Su Ce said: "When all of them start to care about other people's opinions, then basketball becomes impure, everyone is afraid of making mistakes, afraid of being sprayed wildly if they make mistakes, and afraid of not having the face to see their relatives and friends and hometown people, so the more critical the moment, the more dare not fight, and the more dare not work hard." This is the biggest problem for our team.

Sun Jun nodded and said, "But yourself, haven't you ever been in this situation?"

Su Ce nodded and said: "I have had it before, but then it gradually disappeared, since I gave up basketball for the first time, I will never think about what others think, because I like basketball, so I am willing to work hard for it, no matter whether anyone pays attention to me, whether anyone likes me, I will stick to my dream all my time!"

Sun Jun clapped his hands and said, "Good job!"

Su Ce was a little shy, his face turned red, and said: "Although I said that, I haven't thought of how to comfort my teammates and let them recover as soon as possible." The first thing I want to do now is to unite everyone again, work together, advance and retreat together, win together, go crazy together, and carry together when we lose!

Well said, I believe you will do it, and I also believe that your teammates will not fall down so easily, after all, everyone likes basketball from the bottom of their hearts, and it can be seen from your firm eyes in every game that basketball is the most sacred existence in your hearts

!" "That's right!" Su Ce nodded vigorously, feeling like he had met a confidant.

Sun Jun smiled slightly and said: "Having said that, you still haven't told me that if you don't have a coach in ten days, then what are you going to do? What about the team's training? What should you do in the second round of the group stage ten days later?"

Su Ce shook his head and said: "To be honest, I really haven't thought about this problem, but I think that the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, as long as they move forward bravely, there will always be miracles!"

Sun Jun nodded with satisfaction again, and said with a smile: "Do you know, I have always been in charge of your team's competition, I can tell you very clearly that I like basketball because I watched your game, I have always been the most loyal fan of your team, and I don't want to see such a charming team of yours become like this, so I want to tell you the truth of the facts, so that you can make plans early."

Su Ce was stunned and looked up at her again, but she didn't expect that she actually liked basketball because she watched her team's game.

Sun Jun asked with a smile again: "So you may think that the questions I asked are too sharp, but the questions I asked you today are all I want to ask, and they have nothing to do with the interview task."

Su Ce nodded and said: "No matter what the situation is, I will not give up, whether there is a coach or no coach, if there is no coach, then I will personally lead my teammates to train, personally lead the team to the game, and personally arrange game tactics for my teammates!"

Sun Jun was stunned, he didn't expect him to say such a sentence.

Su Ce was full of pride, and instantly felt that his heart was full of confidence again, and said with a smile: "And I believe that a person who can really lead us to glory will appear soon."

Sun Jun asked curiously: "Why?"

Su Ce smiled slightly and said: "The reason is very simple, because who doesn't have a basketball dream in their hearts?-
