Those hot basketball days

Zheng Xueqi sat in the office, looking at the Longcheng Evening News in his hand.

In the sports section, there is a detailed report on the city's high school basketball league.

After about half a month of competition, Dragon City Z High ranked first in the group with 8 wins and 0 losses, and easily advanced to the top 8 of the league.

In the group stage, Z-high showed the level and competitive state that a strong team should have, and every game was an easy big victory. And newcomers such as Gu Cheng, Shi Wenbo, and Ma Cheng are slowly getting better and better with the team.

Especially Gu Cheng, after being trained by the four school training competitions, he can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, and his rapid growth can be said to make Zheng Xueqi feel happy.

Zheng Xueqi saw the shadow of Ye Su last year from the current Gu Cheng. His sharp breakaways and accurate shots, as well as his desire to win, and his accurate judgment of his position when on the court.

If Ye Su and Su Ce are on the court, he will fully play the role of a team's three leaders, and if the two are not present, he will take on the responsibility of scoring and connecting all the team's attacks.

Looking at the technical statistics of 8 games counted by Zhao Xuanting, Zheng Xueqi couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and said: "Gu Cheng averaged 13.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, and his performance was very eye-catching."

Hu Xu on the side said: "Gu Cheng's momentum this year is very strong, maybe he can compete for the honor of the best newcomer in Dragon City."

Zheng Xueqi said with a smile: "I don't attach much importance to these honors, but the championship is the most tempting for me."

Hu Xu said with a smile: "Although you don't care about honor, you can't let the children take it."

Zheng Xueqi said: "That's the same.

Hu Xu seemed to suddenly think of something, and said: "In the case of Su Ce and Jia Ming, can you win

the best newcomer?"

Zheng Xueqi shook his head and said: "No, although they are also freshmen in high school, the selection rules for the best newcomer are players who have not participated in the high school league, and it has nothing to do with how high you are."

Hu Xu nodded and said, "That is to say, if a senior high school student has not played in a high school league before, he can also be selected?"

Zheng Xueqi nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, that's what it means."

Hu Xu said: "But then again, the team has been in good shape recently, and I feel that the current children are infinitely close to last year's strength."

Zheng Xueqi said: "Yes, compared with last year, the state of the team this year is not so up and down, it has been very stable, it seems that this year's goal seems to have a chance to be achieved."

Hu Xu said: "What worries me is Su Ce's current state, you see that he only averages 8.2 points per game, 4.3 assists, and a lot of steals, 3.8, but as the top scorer in Jiangcheng last year, this result is obviously not enough."

Zheng Xueqi shook his head and said, "Man, Su Ce's strength is clear to both you and me, how many brain cells did we consume in order to limit him last year?

Hu Xu said: "That's right, his deterrence on the defensive end is also something I didn't expect, Jia Ming and the two of them are inside and outside, and they have created the defensive system that the two of us have been thinking about for so many years."

Zheng Xueqi nodded and said, "That's right." "

It's all a bunch of good boys!" Zheng Xueqi thought with relief.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xueqi couldn't help but look down at the Longcheng Evening News in his hand again, wanting to see the media's reports on his team.

"Damn, what does this mean?" Zheng Xueqi, who had been watching it for a long time, suddenly scolded: "The whole article is basically full of reports on the seventh middle school, and last year's third place and first high school also had several reports, but we only have two, and we still say it in such a general way?"

Zheng Xueqi said disdainfully: "I don't care if your call for winning the championship in the seventh middle school is big or not, you have to give me the report that should be given." Pointing to the content of the newspaper, he said: "Look at what this article is written, what 'new king ascends the throne', what 'about to establish his own dynasty', phew, it's just nonsense!"

Hu Xu frowned and said: "Which reporter wrote this, and he can lick it too well, did he Lao Liu spend money to hire people to write such a disgusting article?"

Zheng Xueqi snorted and said: " It's not because of the four-school training tournament that our status in the sports bureau and the media has greatly declined.

Hu Xu said: "It's just a training match, will there be so many things in it?"

Zheng Xueqi said: "People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, you played the best results in Dragon City last year, naturally there will be people who are worried about you, and all kinds of small actions behind your back to you."

Hu Xu nodded and sighed helplessly.

Zheng Xueqi said: "Actually, we are mainly to blame for this matter, if we hadn't lost the training match too ugly, there wouldn't have been so many things."

Hu Xu said firmly: "The media can report as much as they want, strength is the most important thing, the children are in good shape this year, Ye Susuce is still mature and steady, and Gu Cheng has also begun to grow up rapidly, based on the three of them, plus the assistance of Shi Wenbo, Ma Cheng, Xiao Ke Jia Ming and others, this year's summit is just around the corner

!" Zheng Xueqi snorted coldly and said: "Dare to look down on us so much, then let's see you in the knockout round!"

Sun Jun of the —————————————————————————

newspaper office couldn't help but be furious when he saw today's new issue of the newspaper.

The knockout round of the city's high school basketball league began immediately, and the newspaper also followed up in real time, and deliberately published a related report about 8 teams.

As a full-time reporter of Longcheng Z high Sun Jun, after watching a game of the highest in Longcheng, not only became interested in this team and each player, but also developed a strong interest in basketball itself, while consulting Li Hong, he will learn all kinds of basketball-related knowledge through various channels after writing the manuscript every night.

Whenever she follows the Z high game with the team, she will report the results as soon as possible, and at the same time publish an article of her own opinion based on the pre-game and post-game interviews and game content, in-depth analysis of the state of the Z high team this year and some characteristics of the team itself.

However, when the special section came out, Sun Jun unexpectedly found that he had worked hard and stayed up all night to write a manuscript, but he did not include a few articles! Except for the reports of the two small victories, the rest were all lost!

The angry Sun Jun immediately took the newspaper and knocked on the door of the editor-in-chief's office.

"Please come in!" came from inside.

Sun Jun suppressed the anger in his heart, pushed open the door and walked in, the editor-in-chief was a middle-aged woman in her 40s dressed with bells and whistles, wearing a gold-rimmed glasses. glanced at her

, and said slowly: "Yo, it's Xiao Sun, what's the matter?" Sun Jun endured the smell of inferior perfume all over the house, and asked: "Editor-in-chief, I want to ask, why didn't our newspaper include my report on Z high in this sports section this time?" The editor-in-chief

glanced at it and said casually: "You look away, Xiao Sun, isn't that there?"

Sun Jun took a deep breath and said, "Editor-in-chief, why did I write so many reports, but only these two articles were published in the end? Why didn't other large-scale articles appear in the newspaper?"

The editor-in-chief said disdainfully: "Xiao Sun, you just came, there are many things you don't understand." Newspaper sections are limited, so with limited resources, the articles we include are naturally limited.

Sun Jun patiently asked: "Then may I ask the editor-in-chief, why don't you take out some reports on other schools, but they are all the highest in my reports, do you have any opinions about me personally?"

The editor-in-chief shouted: "Ouch little Sun, where are you talking about, you are still a child, what can I say about you?"

Sun Jun said: "Okay, since you said that you have no opinion on me personally, I want to ask why Z Gao was the champion last year, and this year is also in the group stage, why can't it occupy more positions in the plate?"

I just heard her say slowly: "Xiao Sun, you may not know much about basketball, it is true that the highest is last year's champion, but they are no longer good this year, and this year's favorite to win the championship is the seventh middle school."

Sun Jun said: "The seventh middle school is the second place last year, even if they are strong this year, it is only a contest between the first and the second, at least in terms of the length of the report, it must be about the same." The

editor-in-chief laughed again and said: "Xiao Sun, you just came, you don't understand a lot of things, the media pays attention to building momentum, and this year's creation is the momentum of the Seventh, Longcheng is the highest, hum, it has become a thing of the past."

Sun Jun shouted: "News reports pay attention to truth! There are so many citizens in the city who were unable to go to the scene to watch the game, and there are also supporters of the highest level, we need to let them know the truth!" The

editor-in-chief flashed a trace of impatience on his face, and said: "Xiao Sun, look at our newspaper, what is it about Z Gao that is not true?"

Sun Jun said: " The truth is true, but the public has not learned the true strength of Z Gao! We have concealed the truth

!" "Enough!" The editor-in-chief suddenly shouted angrily and said: "Xiao Sun, you have to pay attention to what you say, your words are very dangerous, I can sue you for slander!"

Sun Jun was stunned, but he couldn't say anything.

When the editor-in-chief saw that she was frightened, he immediately changed his face and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, I just scared you." Seeing that her face softened slightly, she continued: "Xiao Sun, you have just arrived, and you look like me when I was young. So I'll tell you something.

Sun Jun nodded, but thought with disdain in his heart: "You look like this, do you deserve to compare with me?"

The editor-in-chief said: " I'll just tell you three points, the first point, it's not what I mean, it's the meaning of the above;the second point,Sometimes you have to learn to be flexible when working.,Can't follow your own heart;The third point,I personally followed the game of the seventh middle school,I also see their strength,Z Gao wants to win the championship this year,It's just wishful thinking!"

Sun Jun originally listened patiently to her teaching, and when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly couldn't help it, and shouted:" Editor-in-chief, have you watched the Z high competition? How can you be sure that Z Gao will not win the championship

this year?"

The editor-in-chief giggled and said: "I haven't watched it, I've just watched the seven middle schools, anyway, this year's seven middle schools are very strong, and it is definitely impossible for the Z high to rely on the two hits last year."

Sun Jun snorted and said, "According to what you said, I personally followed all the games of Z High, and their team is very strong, and it is very likely to defend the title!" The

editor-in-chief said disdainfully: "Do you know basketball? Think you can talk to me here after watching a few games

?" Sun Jun shouted: "I can't understand you, right?"

You can't tell who is strong and who is weak, you will only tend to be inflammatory

, and you will say who is powerful when others say that you are powerful, and you have no ability to distinguish at all?" When the editor-in-chief heard this, he was furious and shouted:

"Sun Jun, who are you talking to?"

Sun Jun sneered and said: "Ouch, you broke the defense, you want to use power to suppress me? Come on, fire me now, anyway, if you fire my colleagues, they will immediately know what is going on, and you will fire me directly." The

editor-in-chief sneered and said: "Learn to threaten me with the pressure of public opinion? It's impossible, I'll tell you, I don't have the right to fire you, but I can let you go to logistics, you still have to be willing, do you believe it?"

Sun Jun said: "What to bet on?" The editor-in-chief said: "Just bet on the championship of the city's high school basketball league this year, if the seventh middle school wins the championship, you take the initiative to apply to the logistics department to do hygiene, if the highest school wins the championship, I will promote you to be the deputy editor-in-chief, and let you be in charge of the basketball league throughout the whole process, how about

it?" Sun Jun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Talking counts?"

The editor-in-chief nodded and said, "Naturally." "

Okay!" Sun Jun said: "Then forget about this matter today, let's see you in the finals!" After that, he ignored her and left the editor-in-chief's office without looking back.

"Hmph, the little girl is young and short-sighted, and she has ruined her future, don't blame me. The editor-in-chief said ruthlessly.

—————————————————————————

Su Ce quickly dribbled the ball and advanced to the opponent's half, and then faced Guo Wei's defense, slowly slowed down, and passed the ball to Gu Cheng, who was coming down.

After Gu Cheng got the ball, he didn't choose to shoot, but passed the ball to Swenbo who ran from the right side.

Zhao Xuqing has been closely following Shi Wenbo, Shi Wenbo did not have a suitable opportunity, so he moved and passed the ball to Ma Cheng in the high position at the moment of receiving the ball.

Ma Cheng saw that there was no one in front of him, and subconsciously wanted to throw a shot, but when he saw that Jia Ming was one step away, he didn't dare to throw. wasted the opportunity like this, and Jia Ming made up for it as soon as possible.

"Ma Cheng, why didn't you shoot that ball just now, are you afraid of being covered?" Zheng Xueqi shouted from the sidelines.

After saying this, Ma Cheng had already passed the ball back to Su Ce. Su Ce looked at Shi Wenbo, who was still moving empty-handed, and had no chance to pass the ball at all, so he could only shoot by himself!

"Shi Wenbo, you have to be more decisive when you run, because you don't do your best because it's training?"

"Su Ce, don't always think about passing, but through your sharp score, the focus of the whole court will be on you!"

I don't know if Jia Ming was slow to make up the defense, or Su Ce shot too fast, the ball flew high, and then fell steadily into the basket.

"Jia Ming, you have to go up faster!" In

the stadium, the Z-tallest players were still sweating profusely training, and in the entire stadium, except for Zheng Xueqi's shouting, only the sound of shoes rubbing against the floor remained.

"Stop, stop fighting! Come here!" Zheng Xueqi shouted: "What are you playing, one by one, haven't you ever played ball? Look at the way you guys look like each other, what's the matter, are you all old arms and legs? Are you unable to open your legs or your arms to be straight?"

"Ye Su, you don't always float on the outside, you have to squeeze on the inside, although you also want to run without the ball, but your first choice is always the middle distance!"

"Gu Cheng!" you obviously have to be a little bit back, try to move near the three-point line, in the center, on the right side, wait for a teammate's pass, and shoot immediately. Instead of squeezing inside like a small forward. You're a shooting guard, you have to keep that in mind!"

"And, Jaming, what's the matter? Just because you're defending Ma Cheng, you don't dare to rush up and block the hat? Be bold, go up and cover the fuck, he just scored too many shots on your head!".

"Shock, you have to work hard in the position, don't play so hesitantly! If you look for an opportunity, you have to try to shoot on the inside, after all, the closer you are to the basket, the better you score! And Ye Su, you have too many passes, once you catch the opportunity, you must shoot immediately, this is your responsibility as the team's top scorer! And you, have the opportunity to make a decisive shot, don't fucking grind and chirp like a fucking girl! In the face of the opponent, you must be ruthless!" In

the entire arena, only Zheng Xueqi's criticism and scolding were heard.

Zheng Xueqi criticized every player mercilessly, although this was just a team match, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Coach Zheng Xueqi was serious today.

Zhao Xuanting on the side was leaning against the wall, although she was wearing a school uniform, she still showed her beautiful legs perfectly, just watching everyone train so leisurely, she could also see that Zheng Xueqi today was much more serious and strict than usual.

"Have you memorized everything, keep training!" Zheng Xueqi shouted.

The team members glanced at each other, and there was a look of pain in their eyes.

What is the situation of the coach today, it's too perverted.

Zheng Xueqi seemed to see what the team members were thinking, so he asked, "You must be curious about what happened to me today, right?"

Team members, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to speak.

Zheng Xueqi couldn't help but feel amused when he looked at them, and said to Ye Su: "Ye Su, you are the captain, you come."

Ye Su scratched his head and said: "I think we are about to reach the knockout round, which is one step closer to our goal, and it is understandable to strengthen training."

Zheng Xueqi said: "You all think so?"

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and nodded one after another.

Zheng Xueqi nodded and said, "Actually, this is just one of the reasons. Then he said, "Actually, there is another reason in it, I have something here, show it to everyone!" He picked up a stack of newspapers from the chair behind him, raised it in front of everyone, and then said, "Let's read it for yourself!"

Everyone was curious, why did the coach show us the newspaper?

After a while, Jia Ming was the first to cry out dissatisfiedly: "Damn, what does this mean? No article on us??"

Su Ce didn't speak, savoring the report about the knockout tournament that would start soon.

For the 8 teams that are about to start the knockout round, the newspaper basically reports on the other teams in detail, especially in Dragon City 7, which has the largest call to win the championship this year, which accounts for a large amount of space, including the promotion distance, game review, and interviews with this team, and the basic information of each player and the tricks he is good at in the game are described in detail.

In addition, other powerful teams such as Deying Middle School, Longcheng Yigao were introduced, and last year's champion Longcheng Z High was only briefly summarized, and then reported their two small victories, but did not mention anything about the big wins of the 12th Middle School and Guangming Middle School.

Su Ce flipped it again, there were several sides to the layout of this knockout match, but almost all of them were Dragon City No. 7 Middle School, and the degree of popularity of Dragon City No. 7 Middle School in the article can be said to be all-encompassing. Treating last year's champion team Z highest, on the contrary, there is no report, only mentioning that it is last year's defending champion, and then briefly introducing the players of the team, that's all.

Su Ce sneered a few times, raised his hand to fold the newspaper a few times, threw it on the ground, looked up at Ye Su in front of him, and saw that anger also appeared in his eyes.

Zheng Xueqi carefully glanced at all the team members, watched the changes in the faces of the team members, and then said slowly: "Now everyone should know why I want to train you so much today! Because although we were the runner-up in the country last year, there is still no one to treat us seriously." Even the outside world is generally optimistic about winning the championship in the seventh middle school. The

crowd did not speak, but gritted their teeth.

Zheng Xueqi said: "Actually, this matter, to put it bluntly, is also because of ourselves. Our previous training matches were too bad, so the media will all think that our strength is not as good as last year, and there are too many newcomers in our team and the poor run-in degree will cause today's situation.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but bow their heads in shame: "Coach, it's all our fault."

Zheng Xueqi waved his hand and said: "I don't want to blame you, just tell you about our current situation, there are still three days, the top 8 will officially begin, we have to seize all the time, let those who underestimate us see what kind of team we are

!" Everyone shouted: "Okay!"

Even Zhao Xuanting couldn't help but be infected by the atmosphere of everyone and stretched out her little fist.

Su Ce tugged on his wrist guards and finger guards, felt the force on his wrists and fingers, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and sneered and thought: "If you dare to underestimate us, then let's go and see!"
