Chapter 52 Rubbing hands and waiting for the final
The garment factory waited and waited, but when Wang Xiaolan's design was not available, they called again to urge them: "Comrade Wang Xiaolan, we are in a hurry to use the design draft for production. Can you help us set a delivery time?"
Wang Xiaolan was vague: "It's the anniversary celebration in the mine now. I'm the backbone and I really don't have time. Let's wait until the anniversary celebration is over in mid-July."
People in the same office heard this and cursed secretly: What a piece of shit she is. She has no other job except laying flowers and playing basketball. She was eliminated after just one game of basketball. She is really telling lies with her eyes open.
When the garment factory heard this, it was no longer easy to urge: "Ah, that's it. Please submit the manuscript to us in late July. In this way, we can produce it by the end of the month and sell it in August. Otherwise, the summer will be over.
It’s over.”
Wang Xiaolan: "Okay, okay."
Garment factory: "Yes, please."
Wang Xiaolan: "I know, don't worry, I will give it to you when the time comes."
Garment factory: "Definitely."
--------------------------
When the underground team played against the technical school team in the semifinals, the scene was even more horrific.
Only this time did Li Wenjun truly experience the terror of the underground team.
Because it was against a technical school team, the Jingxia team immediately started playing without any of the caution they had against the hospital team, for fear of getting bumped or falling.
There is no blind spot, every main player of the underground team is like a bulldozer, the ball seems to be sticky when it is in the hand, and it is pushed steadily to the basket.
The opponent's various interceptions are as useless as a desperate struggle or a child's tickling.
The rebounds are grabbed at will, and rarely reach the hands of the technical school. After the technical school serves, it is common for them to be robbed midway.
In the end, the technical school lost by a margin of 36 points, and the team leader endured until he was off the field before crying.
Li Wenjun looked serious and remained silent the whole time.
He imagined that he was playing an immersive real-life game, and that he was one of the players in the technical school, so that he could simulate how he would respond when he was in the same position.
It turned out that even if he faced Li Wenyong, it would be difficult to win.
The Jingxia team won without any doubt with a big score.
At the end of the show, the audience was still interested and talked about it as they walked around.
"It's really exciting. The underground team is so awesome. Today's scene is as exciting as a slaughterhouse and a pack of wolves hunting. The opponent simply has no power to fight back."
"Now it's interesting to see. The two brothers Li Wenjun and Li Wenyong will definitely meet in the finals." "Last year in the semifinals, when these two brothers met, they almost came to a fight. The maintenance team lost miserably.
"
"Hey, the underground team is really good. The maintenance team was so disorganized last year that it was no longer a team. It was just four people plus one person fighting, fighting randomly."
"Hey, this year is different. Under the leadership of Li Wenjun, the strength of the maintenance team has made a qualitative leap this year. I feel like Li Wenjun has changed his soul. Others are even under his spell.
Likewise, everyone is willing to obey his command."
"This is the role of money. Did Li Wenjun promise to give each of them a bonus if they win?"
"I heard there is no such thing. It just depends on skills and character."
"Hey, that's it. I really can't understand it..."
"Haha, so let's see whether the younger brother kills the older brother this time, or the older brother suppresses the younger brother."
"At that time, it may be a group of men fighting, beating and beating, beating and beating."
"Maybe the mine also considered this, so it postponed the men's basketball final?"
"The longer I delay it, the more I want to watch it. If these two brothers get together, it won't be too exciting."
"That's the kind of excitement that only happens once a year. Keep your eyes open and wait patiently."
Li Wenjun listened in the back and couldn't laugh or cry. It was originally a sports competition for civilized people, but these people suddenly made it look like a life-and-death duel between gladiators.
----------
In the women's basketball semi-finals, the school team easily defeated the Jingxia team and advanced to the finals.
After all, other teams can't pick someone like Gu Zhanyan who doesn't fight but just plays ball.
Not to mention that there are only a few female workers underground, so it would be great if we could gather ten of them.
At the end of the game, the Jingxia women's team shouted to the school team: "Don't be proud, let's see how our men's team kills your men."
This sentence was clearly directed at Gu Zhanyan alone.
Yu Mingjie comes to every game and sits on the sidelines without clapping or making a sound. She is quiet and cold.
People who didn't know better thought she wasn't here to watch the game, but to be a human mascot.
That day, when Li Wenjun came on stage and forced Wang Xiaolan to apologize to Gu Zhanyan, she sneered from behind: "Haha, in the end, you don't have to rely on men to keep your dignity."
Everyone originally thought she was just more serious, but now that she is so bitter, it makes people very disgusted.
The female teacher retorted behind her back and spoke loudly on purpose.
"It's so weird. It's really annoying."
"It's just that she doesn't have the ability. She still makes sarcastic remarks when others work hard. What kind of virtue is that?"
"I hate this person the most. I can't do anything right, and I'm the most jealous."
The technical school women's team "beat" the logistics women's team and also entered the finals.
So on the women's side, the final was a group fight between two groups of female teachers.
"Tsk, tsk, it's so exciting just thinking about it." Zhao Lin sighed when he went to play with Li Wenjun in the evening.
-----
On the day of the women's final, there were many people watching.
The main reason is that Gu Zhanyan caused such an exciting incident the first time he came on stage. I don't know what will happen this time.
When Gu Zhanyan came on the court, Li Wenjun repeatedly warned: "No confrontation, no physical contact, no fighting for the ball. Yer, just do your technical work."
Gu Zhanyan glanced at him in surprise.
I heard that he had good grades in all subjects, but he didn't like English. When he was in junior high school, he could barely score 80 points on the test. When he was a freshman in high school, his English teacher was so angry with him that he asked him to take antihypertensive drugs.
How come he speaks "yer" so smoothly and in authentic American English?
Li Wenjun was completely unaware and continued: "Protect yourself and take it easy. We've made it to the finals anyway, which is the best result in the history of the children's school girls' team."
Gu Zhanyan came on stage silently.
----------
The technical school team has been the women's basketball champion in previous years.
Because they are not afraid of group fights, and in terms of skills, they can also pick out one or two who can watch.
In comparison, the school team was miserable.
While others cooperated, Gu Zhanyan fought alone. His teammates had no other use except for passing the ball and occasionally shooting to help block the opponent.
In this way, Gu Zhanyan forced their score to only fall behind by two points.
Li Wenjun saw her struggling alone on the court and felt extremely painful.
These forty minutes were extremely long.
Compared with the usual bustle, the auditorium of the school team was completely silent at the moment.
Everyone was very worried when they saw it. A group of people, watching one person struggle and fight for everyone.
"How about giving up." Li Wenjun never had the word "give up" in his dictionary, but he said it for her today.
Gu Zhanyan no longer had the strength to speak and could only shake his head.
Li Wenjun couldn't say anything when he saw her like this.
He thought for a while, then leaned into Gu Zhanyan's ear and whispered: "Keep the score within two points, try to get the last ball for you, and then do what I taught you before and win."
