1754, the boss behind the scenes is about to fight [two-in-one chapter]
In the center of Court No. 4 of the Basketball Park.
When this middle-aged fat man named Zhou Zhengnan appeared on the scene, everyone didn't pay much attention at first.
After all, they are here to watch star players play.
But when the fat middle-aged man mentioned his name and company, everyone was stunned on the spot.
That's right, the head of Zhengnan Group, Zhou Zhengnan, is standing in front of everyone at this moment.
When it comes to Zhengnan Group, almost everyone in Jiangnan City knows about it.
Since its establishment in the 1980s, its business has spread to more than 80 countries and regions.
The current number of employees alone exceeds 20,000, with annual sales reaching 30 billion yuan.
It can be said that Zhengnan Group and Yuan Group both started in Jiangnan City at the same time.
Both companies started with small commodities, and gradually developed from traditional industries to the current diversified industries.
Unlike Yuan Group, which has gradually begun to involve in real estate and new cultural and creative fields, Zhengnan Group's business is mainly in the new energy field.
It has established its own new energy lithium battery factory, and even involves photovoltaic equipment, energy storage, power transmission and distribution, low-voltage electrical appliances, intelligent terminals, software development, and control automation as its pillar businesses.
However, due to different business development, Zhengnan Group has never had a sense of presence in front of Yuan Group.
But when it comes to Jiangnan City’s star companies, Zhengnan Group is definitely number one.
In everyone's mind, this is an old company with a long history.
The name Zhengnan Group sounds familiar, but to most Jiangnan City citizens, they have never seen Zhou Zhengnan himself.
But now, this middle-aged fat man is standing in front of them, which makes everyone a little suspicious.
After all, the company was founded in the 1980s, so why is the boss so young?
Seemingly sensing everyone's doubts about his identity, Zhou Zhengnan smiled at everyone and said, "Do you have any questions?"
After hearing the comments from several viewers around him, the host directly picked up another microphone and said: "Mr. Zhou, everyone says you are very young. It seems that the founding time of such an old company seems to be somewhat different from your age.
.”
"Haha, really?" Seeing everyone raising questions, Zhou Zhengnan did not shy away and responded directly:
"Zhengnan Group was named after me by my father."
"So, the founder of Zhengnan Group is your father, right?" The host also quickly answered.
Zhou Zhengnan nodded silently: "Yes, the founder of Zhengnan Group is my father. He has now taken a back seat, and I am basically in charge of the company."
"Maybe many friends in the business community know me, but ordinary citizens don't know much about me."
Waving his hand, Zhou Zhengnan added: "But it doesn't matter. Zhou Zhengnan's name will often appear in the basketball park in the future."
"Because I am the owner of the Cyclones, from now on, I want all the citizens of Jiangnan City to know that the Cyclones exist among the wildball teams in Jiangnan City, and the owner of this team is named... Zhou!
Right! South!”
At the end of the speech, Zhou Zhengnan said his name word for word, and he was very confident and calm in his words and deeds.
Some fans who had heard of Zhengnan Group couldn't help but applaud during Zhou Zhengnan's speech.
This made Zhou Zhengnan very comfortable on the court, but it made the owner of the Furong team on the sidelines, the tall, thin middle-aged man in a suit, a little unhappy.
After all, everyone knows that although the Furong team was formed by King, it is mainly a team with King as the core.
The team members are changing all the time, but King has always been there.
Which bosses need to play, then they will hire players with King as the core to compete.
Therefore, this tall, thin, middle-aged man in a suit has always been the biggest financial backer behind King.
But he is not King's boss.
The Furong team represented by King and the tall, thin, middle-aged man in a suit have always had an employer-employee relationship.
Also included is the agent Biao Ge.
But looking at Zhou Zhengnan's attitude, it seems that the Cyclones are a long-term team that Zhou Zhengnan has spent money to support. Compared with King's loose team, it seems to be more secure.
Otherwise, Zhou Zhengnan would not have spent a lot of money to poach the two-time league champion tank from Australia.
It can be seen from this that people are playing it real.
Zhou Zhengnan, who was in the middle of the court, seemed to regard the scene as his company's annual meeting, and the conversation seemed to go on forever.
After introducing his identity and team affiliation, Zhou Zhengnan had a lot to say.
The general meaning is that the Cyclones will be the signature here from now on. He will lead the Cyclones to make a name for themselves in Furong District, even the entire Jiangnan City, the province, and even the whole country.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that most of the Cyclones players are retired players who have played in professional leagues.
The technical and tactical qualities are beyond the reach of these wild players.
In addition, these people have received professional and systematic training, and their tacit understanding of playing is far beyond that of ordinary people.
So Gu Chen didn't find it strange at all that King was afraid of these people.
Lu Weiwei on the side looked at Zhou Zhengnan treating the scene as his company's annual meeting, and said helplessly:
"Why does this fat man keep nagging? He really treats this place as his company's annual meeting?"
"Isn't that true? Sister Lu, didn't you see that there were several groups of professional photographers? They were following them from almost all angles." Yuan Shasha also saw the problem.
I feel that if the Cyclones defeated the Seremban team led by King last time, everyone would think it was a bit of a surprise.
So today's game is more like Zhou Zhengnan coming here to increase his presence.
It seems that they just want to go all out and win another victory.
It seems that they are determined to double defeat the Furong team led by King.
Gu Chen also glanced at the middle-aged man in a suit on the side of the field. He was King's financial backer, but he felt a little helpless at the moment.
Maybe it's because of the huge disparity in strength, but if that's the case, why do we have to let King play this uncertain game?
Gu Chen didn't understand what these people were thinking.
Seeing that Zhou Zhengnan was still talking nonstop on the court, the host seemed a little carried away. Looking at the host's watch, he immediately interrupted and said:
"Okay, let us once again give warm applause to welcome the owner of our Tornado team and the head of Zhengnan Group, Mr. Zhou Zhengnan. Everyone is welcome."
After the words fell, the host quickly took the lead in applauding.
With the atmosphere boosted, many people applauded at the scene.
Seeing that Zhou Zhengnan wanted to say something more, the host quickly walked up to him, put his right hand on Zhou Zhengnan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Then I will invite Mr. Zhou Zhengnan to sit in the VIP seat and watch the game."
As soon as the words were spoken, on the other side of the court, two personnel with work badges had already placed a row of cushioned seats in the middle of the court.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhengnan thought that he had shown off everything that should be shown off, and the photographer probably captured many shots.
Therefore, Zhou Zhengnan returned the microphone to the host.
The host also grinned, and quickly said to the tall, thin middle-aged man on the sidelines: "Now, I would like to invite our Furong team boss, Mr. Liu Xiangbei, everyone is welcome."
"Snap, snap, snap!"
Different from welcoming Zhou Zhengnan, when the host said Liu Xiangbei's name, there was a burst of applause spontaneously.
Lu Weiwei on the side was startled. She quickly shook Gu Chen's arm and said with a chuckle: "Junior Brother Gu, the names of these two people are really funny. One is called Zhou Zhengnan, the other is Liu Xiangbei, Zhengnan
, Xiangbei, haha, it’s a bit interesting.”
"I guess so?" Gu Chen also felt that when these two people's names were put together, they didn't seem to get along very well.
He Junchao also smiled and said: "This Liu Xiangbei should often hire King to play basketball, so many fans at the scene know him. He should be an old acquaintance of this basketball park."
"Maybe?" Yuan Shasha also nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "I seem to have met this person a few times. He should be the owner of an electrical appliance factory, and the Yuan Group is also one of his big customers."
"Really?" Lu Weiwei turned to look at Yuan Shasha and said without complaining: "Are these bosses so keen on spending money playing basketball now? Or is it just a hobby?"
"I don't know about that. Senior Sister Lu, look, that Liu Xiangbei is introducing himself."
As soon as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Liu Xiangbei in the center of the stadium took the microphone and began to greet the audience:
"Dear Basketball Park fans and friends, good evening, everyone. My name is Liu Xiangbei. Thank you all."
After the words fell, Liu Xiangbei bowed and then handed the microphone to the host.
The host was also stunned.
He thought to himself that Zhou Zhengnan had been here for a long time just now. If he hadn't controlled his time well, he would probably have been nagging for a long time.
But it's your turn, Liu Xiangbei, and it ends in just a few sentences? Doesn't it feel too simple?
After thinking about it, the host asked Liu Xiangbei: "Mr. Liu, won't you say a few more words?"
"No need." Liu Xiangbei waved his hand, walked directly to the sidelines in despair, and sat down next to the tall woman.
The woman was also very sensible and immediately handed Liu Xiangbei a bottle of mineral water.
The host was immediately embarrassed and said with a smile: "Haha, our Mr. Liu is a little reserved today, which is right. After all, Mr. Liu is an old acquaintance of our basketball park."
"It can be said that King's Furong team cannot achieve today's achievements without the silent support of Mr. Liu Xiangbei."
"So, our Furong team needs to cheer up today."
After the words fell, the host looked down at his watch and then said: "Without further ado, our game will start soon."
As the host left the stadium, dynamic music sounded again.
At this moment, the players on both sides have also finished warming up and returned to their respective areas.
The Tornado team's resting area is to the left of Gu Chen, while King's Furong team's resting area is directly in front of Gu Chen.
So when King finished warming up and walked to the rest area, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Yuan Shasha and He Junchao also greeted King one after another.
King was also very enthusiastic. He immediately waved to everyone and seemed to have seen Gu Chen.
One minute later, with the referee throwing the ball, the game officially started.
Gu Chen and everyone also began to silently support King's Furong team in their hearts.
Comparing it with the Cyclones, which is also from Seremban District, the Seremban team where King plays has always been regarded as the home team.
The Cyclones looked more like a foreign team, and their playing style was poor and dirty, which made many fans feel a little disgusted.
In addition, the opponent's main player, Tank, is a retired player from the Australian League, so it is natural for the fans to support King.
On the sidelines, as the DJ played offensive music, the host also began to explain on the spot.
"Okay, what we are seeing now is the Furong team's attack. The tank did not jump up when picking the ball just now. It was directly grabbed by King, the leading player of the Furong team. King is now organizing the attack."
"King passed the ball to Tieniu. Tieniu broke through with the ball and couldn't squeeze in. The opponent was too strong. Tieniu passed the ball to Hu Cheng, and Hu Cheng passed it to King. Now it's King versus Tank. These two people
Is there a duel?"
Looking at the offensive form on the field, the host continued to explain: "Fans who haven't watched the last game may not know very well."
"Although the Cyclones' foreign aid tank is currently the tallest player on the court, he plays the 3rd position, which is the small forward. Instead, another 190cm tall player from the Cyclones plays the 5th position.
That’s the center forward.”
"This tactical arrangement is very strange. Of course, maybe the tanks have another purpose because of the arrangement of the tanks, because King of the Furong team plays the No. 3 position."
"In this way, the tank and the king are exactly opposite each other, but in this way, the offensive pressure on the king will be great. After all, the tank's technology and body are a mountain that is difficult for the king to overcome."
"And in the last confrontation between the two teams, Tank scored 50 points on King, but King struggled to score 12 points in front of Tank."
"It can be said that tanks will still have to dominate this game in the same way as the previous game. So how will King respond? We will wait and see."
As soon as the host here finished speaking, King took a long shot from a distance of two meters from the tank.
But because it was too far away from the three-point line, the basketball hit the basket directly. The Cyclones center jumped up and grabbed the rebound.
Seeing this, the host immediately added: "It seems that King has not come out from the shadow of the last game. Facing the tank and the player who is also in the 3rd position, King seems a little cautious, but it doesn't matter. Let's see.
How is the defense behind the Furong team doing..."
The host here is still continuing to explain, but Lu Weiwei, who is sitting next to Gu Chen, can't help but say: "By the way, Junior Brother Gu, what does the number the host said mean?"
I don't seem to be able to understand this, and it's hard for me to understand the so-called matchup play and the like.
Gu Chen watched the game on the court and explained to Lu Weiwei with a faint smile:
"Actually, this is a popular term for positions in basketball games. We can divide the five players of a team on the field into five identities."
"This No. 1 position, which is what we usually call the point guard, is the organizer of the team's offense. It is generally responsible for dribbling and controlling the ball to decide to pass the ball to the right player at the right time to score.
"
"What about position 2?" Yuan Shasha on the side was also curious. It seemed that Yuan Shasha knew something about basketball, but she didn't know what these professional terms meant.
When Gu Chen heard this, he was naturally happy to explain: "The No. 2 position is the shooting guard. From this meaning, it is not difficult to know that the No. 2 position on the court is mainly responsible for scoring."
"The shooting guard is the second scorer on the court after the small forward, but he does not need to practice singles skills like a small forward."
"Because he often has his teammates help him find gaps and then shoot. But because of this, the outside accuracy and stability of the No. 2 position must be very good."
"Then King plays the 3rd position, and the 3rd position is the small forward, right?" Lu Weiwei heard it mentioned by the host just now, so she was also very curious.
Gu Chen nodded silently and continued to explain: "The No. 3 position is indeed a small forward. This position requires very comprehensive skills and can basically be qualified for any position on the field."
"Generally speaking, it is also called a swingman. Its main task is to score, score, and score again."
"So you see that Tank is also playing the No. 3 position. He is the main scorer of the Cyclones. But in fact, on this kind of wild court, with Tank's 2-meter height, he can definitely play center, but he does not."
"I feel like he is deliberately targeting King and wants to quickly gain popularity on King. After all, his foreign players do not have a mass base here."
"Yes." Lu Weiwei nodded silently after hearing this: "So this tank is very cunning. In the last game, it actually scored 50 points on King, but King only scored 12 points. This was simply a bloodbath."
"Tank is very smart. He defeated the star player of the Furong team. This will help Tank quickly gain popularity." He Junchao said without complaining.
I feel like this is completely bullying.
Yuan Shasha also nodded silently, feeling that everyone had the same idea, so she asked Gu Chen again: "What about Senior Brother Gu, where are No. 4 and No. 5?"
"No. 4 is the power forward." Gu Chen paused for a few seconds and then said: "The power forward's tasks in the team are almost all hard work."
"Cool work?" Lu Weiwei said with a smile when she heard this.
Gu Chen nodded silently and gestured with his hands: "Look, this power forward needs to grab rebounds, defend, and block positions. He is indispensable for all these."
"But when it comes to shooting and scoring, he is often the last one."
"So, the power forward can be regarded as the most inconspicuous role on the basketball court. The power forward, sometimes called a powerful forward, is also an important position in the basketball lineup. In our country, there is also the term "second center".
Seeing Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha nodding silently, Gu Chen quickly added: "As for the last No. 5 position, it is the center."
"As the name suggests, this is the central figure of a team. It is an important position in the basketball lineup. It is usually held by the tallest player in the team."
"Traditionally the emphasis is on defense at the basket and protection of the defensive plate."
"Due to their height advantage, some center players with offensive talents often become the main offensive points for shooting and scoring near the penalty area."
"But from my point of view, with the current situation of these two teams, the small forward at position 3 is the main point of separation for both sides, which is the position that King and Tank play in the team."
"boom!"
Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, the Cyclones' tank, after receiving a second pass from his teammate, went directly to the basket.
A slam dunk with a violent aesthetic immediately boosted the morale of the Cyclones.
Lu Weiwei also quickly glanced at the score. After a while, the Cyclones had already made a dream start of 6-0.
On the other hand, King's Seremban team made constant mistakes, and it seemed that the borrowed players did not cooperate well.
Coupled with Tank's strong attack on the basket, King has no way to defeat Tank.
"Tsk, tsk." This is terrible, how can we fight?"
The fan man who was chatting with Gu Chen before suddenly shook his head at his girlfriend and said:
"The tank is still the same tank. The offense has no solution at all. And if King can't come up with an offensive method, then today's game will probably be one-sided again."
"It didn't take long before the Furong team made two mistakes, allowing the opponent to score 6 points in a row."
"What should we do?" The woman was also anxious. She felt that tonight's Furong team was indeed in danger.
Other fans watching the game seemed to be troubled by the Cyclones' tough style of play.
It feels like King was completely crushed by tanks in every aspect.
Seeing all the pessimism at the scene, Zhou Zhengnan, who was sitting in the VIP seat, felt quite proud.
Of course, some were happy and some were sad. While Zhou Zhengnan was proud, Liu Xiangbei held his fists in his hands and propped up his chin with a solemn expression, silently watching the poor performance on the field.
The other fans watching the game immediately became lifeless.
As soon as the game started, he was beaten by the opponent in various ways.
Just when everyone was worried, the Cyclones stole the ball passed to King by Tieniu and made a fast break layup. The game suddenly became 8-0.
"Harm! What are you doing? If you don't know how to play, don't play."
"That's right, this is the third time such a low-level mistake has been made. I was beaten 8-0 by others right after the game started. Isn't this a big deal?"
"It looks like the Furong team is really in trouble tonight."
"Don't ever lose 30 points again, it's too embarrassing."
…
The Furong team was in a sluggish game on the field, and the audience on the sidelines also made all kinds of complaints and trash talk.
Lu Weiwei couldn't stand it anymore, so she suddenly stood up, put her hands to her mouth, made a trumpet shape, and shouted to King: "King! Come on, use your best mid-range shot to give them a little
Look at the color.”
Lu Weiwei's bold voice here shocked the fans on the side.
Unexpectedly, everyone just talked trash, and this girl stood up and cheered.
Perhaps due to Lu Weiwei's influence, many fans soon began to shout.
Suddenly, under the rhythm of the DJ's offensive music, everyone began to shout cheering slogans rhythmically.
For a time, slogans of "Come on King" appeared one after another, and they began to change from a scattered state to a unified slogan.
King, who brought the ball to the three-point line on the court, seemed to be encouraged by everyone. He immediately faced the tall tank and winked at his good brother Ti Qiu beside him.
Tieniu understood this and immediately came forward to pick and roll.
Seeing this opportunity, King immediately used the iron ball's pick-and-roll to dribble directly to Tieniu's right back.
Facing the opening created by his good brother, he directly made a three-pointer.
The basketball drew a graceful curve in the air and suddenly hit the net under the attention of everyone.
"Whoa!"
As the referee's whistle sounded, the three points were valid.
The scene suddenly burst into cheers, and everyone was excited.
When the players of the Furong team saw King start to score, they immediately rushed up to celebrate with King.
On the other hand, Tieniu, who was knocked down by the tank, struggled to get up. He felt as if all the internal organs of his body were being knocked out of his body by this collision.
Yes, the body of the tank is too majestic. Although it also has a strong body like the Iron Bull, it is difficult for the whole person to withstand the impact of the 2-meter-long human tank.
A pick-and-roll was bounced away, and his whole expression was extremely responsible.
All this was seen by Gu Chen in the stands, who also said angrily: "This tank just committed a malicious foul."
"I also saw it. Tank deliberately pretended to turn around to defend, and then elbowed Tieniu." Lu Weiwei said without complaining.
Yuan Shasha shook her head: "But the referee is blind."
He Junchao sighed: "This is just the beginning. The Furong team will probably be miserable next."
The game continues.
With his first 3-pointer hitting the net, King's shooting confidence began to gradually recover.
In the next two quarters, the two sides went back and forth. Whenever Tank beat King hard and scored 2 points, King used Tieniu's pick-and-roll cooperation to score classic points.
Because the tank beats the King hard, it usually gets 2 points.
King usually makes 3-pointers by using his good brother Tieniu's pick-and-roll.
Therefore, even if the Cyclones have no solutions on the offensive end and do a good job on the defensive end, it is still difficult to restrict King, who has a hot touch, from making mid-range and long-range shots.
When the buzzer sounded at the end of the first half, the Seremban team was 45 to 55, only 10 points behind their opponents.
The audience was very satisfied and felt that there was still some hope of winning this game.
However, at this moment, when all Furong team players left the field and came to the rest area, Tieniu walked slowly and followed everyone at the back.
However, after taking two steps, Tieniu's legs instantly softened. He knelt on the ground, supporting the ground with his left hand, and covering his chest with his right hand. His head was lowered, as if it was difficult to realize what he was doing.
"What's going on?" Gu Chen stood up immediately when he saw all this.
At this moment, the other players on the Furong team don't seem to have noticed this yet.
Still gathering together, we are glad that we are not falling behind by a big score.
And when King saw Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei passing by him and running towards the court, he turned back and looked at the iron ball kneeling in the direction of the court, and his face suddenly became startled.
King threw away the mineral water in his hand and rushed over immediately: "Tieniu, Tieniu, what's wrong with you?"
"tractor?"
After everyone else heard this, they came back to their senses.
But at this time, Tieniu was already surrounded by everyone on the field.
The players of the Furong team realized that the situation was not good. They immediately put down the towels and water in their hands and rushed directly to the center of the court.
"Is there a doctor?" Gu Chen supported Tieniu and raised his head to ask.
Hearing this, a short-haired man quickly picked up the medicine box and ran over, pushing everyone away.
"Everyone give in, give in."
"Let the team doctor come over." King said.
Afterwards, everyone asked Tieniu to lie flat on the ground.
Gu Chen quickly took off his coat, folded it, and put it on the back of Tieniu's head.
"Ahem!" Tieniu coughed twice and covered his chest with a painful look on his face.
King was so frightened that he quickly asked: "Tieniu, what's wrong with you?"
"I...my chest hurts so much. I can't seem to breathe. It hurts so much."
Tieniu, who was lying on the ground, was so painful that he almost burst into tears.
King also looked helpless and said: "What's going on?"
Tieniu frowned and said with a pained look on his face: "I'm trying to pick and roll you, but I'm getting elbowed in the chest by tanks continuously. King, brother, I seem to be a little unable to hold on."
Originally, in this game, King wanted to use the pick-and-roll cooperation with Tieniu to cause a misalignment of the tank.
After all, Tieniu's figure is the strongest in his team. It is theoretically no problem for him to pick and roll tanks.
And King also uses this tactic to score consecutive points and win the score.
But who would have thought that with the help of Tank's various little moves, Tieniu could no longer hold it any longer. His face turned livid, as if he had been seriously injured by the opponent's elbow.
"Tieniu, are you okay?" Boss Liu Xiangbei pushed his way through the crowd, also looking worried.
Tieniu shook his head: "Let's switch to a pick-and-roll in the second half. I can't beat it. This guy... This guy made too many little moves. He elbowed me directly on the side of the head. I felt like my head was buzzing and I almost fainted.
Damn, boss, I can't hit this...this ball."
"Damn, how can anyone play like this?" When Liu Xiangbei saw this, he immediately became angry and yelled at the referee on the side: "How did you do all their little tricks?"
The three referees glanced at Liu Xiangbei, who was shouting behind him, and just snorted coldly and ignored him.
Liu Xiangbei was a little helpless, but when he looked back, he still comforted him in various ways: "Tianniu, look, can you hold on a little longer? After all, we are only 10 points behind now. If you carry on for two more quarters, you must not do this in this game."
The seemingly strong Iron Ox suddenly burst into tears in pain, as if he was frightened by the beating.
No matter Liu Xiangbei's various persuasion or even more money, it was of no use. It seemed that his body no longer allowed him to play in the competition.
King obviously knew that he was about to lose his teammate Tie Qiu in the second half, so he glanced at several other loaned players and said to one of them: "In the second half, you will play Tien Niu's position, and you will pick and roll."
"Me?" Some weak men immediately took a step back: "Don't be kidding me. A guy of Tieniu's stature can't even carry a tank. I'm here to pick and roll for you? Am I looking for death?"
Seeing that the other party was not happy, King turned his attention to another borrowed center.
The center player immediately waved his hand and said: "Don't think about it. I have to protect the rebounds, otherwise I will lose points in the penalty area. My footsteps are slow. Besides, my body is too thin. I, I... I can't do it."
Faced with King's request, the center players immediately became frightened.
After all, I was not King's teammate originally. It was only because King's center was injured in the last game that his nose was broken, so he was absent tonight.
And I just wanted to make some extra money, so I came over temporarily to play in a team, so I didn’t feel like I had to go all out.
The key is Tank's terrifying scoring ability. This thin center has noticed it. It feels like he is fighting against Tank. I guess he has to think about whether his medical insurance is enough?
Faced with all kinds of excuses from these seconded players, King suddenly became anxious.
After all, in the last game, several good brothers who often played together as a team and worked well together were injured one after another.
Now that Tieniu has fallen, it seems difficult for him to find other players.
At this moment, King looked at Hu Cheng again.
Hu Cheng is King's good brother, the hair-washing boy in King's barber shop. Like Tieniu, the three of them form an iron triangle.
Hu Cheng's thin body, playing as a point guard, felt like he was facing off against a tank, and he felt like he was seeing a PK between a primary school student and a high school student, and he was instantly frightened.
"Forget it, I'm not counting on you either." King just glanced at Hu Cheng and knew that this was unreliable.
Hu Cheng was also embarrassed and said: "I can only give it a try. The opponent's No. 1 position just stepped on my feet several times. I didn't dare to let go and shoot. I can only rely on you."
"There's really nothing I can do about it, I can just do it."
After hearing Hu Cheng's words, King slapped Hu Cheng twice on the shoulder and leaned Hu Cheng's head against his forehead. He couldn't help but said: "As expected of my good brother, I really embarrassed you."
…
…
Tieniu was carried to the sidelines by the team doctor to rest for a while, then was carried out of the field by several staff members and sent to the hospital for treatment.
At the beginning of the third quarter, everyone without Tieniu immediately made mistakes on both ends of the offense and defense.
The substitute players were playing in a mess, and the boss Liu Xiangbei was so angry that he covered his face and lowered his head, not daring to look directly.
On the other hand, the Tornadoes, under the leadership of Tank, were playing more and more smoothly, almost crushing them on both offense and defense.
At the end of the third quarter, the Furong team was 57 to 85, trailing the Cyclones by a full 28 points and only 2 points away from the 30 points they lost last time.
The entire Seremban team, without the cooperation of tacit players, only relied on King's shooting and free throws to score 12 points.
Hu Cheng simply could not complete the pick-and-roll task for King, so Hu Cheng could only give up the pick-and-roll cooperation and choose various breakthroughs.
Facing the only scoring point of the Furong team, the Cyclones targeted all kinds of double-teams.
King also struggled to score 12 points after falling down again and again.
Except for himself, the entire Furong team was misfired. Whether they were starters or substitutes, they scored zero points in an instant.
When Gu Chen saw this situation, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "It means that in the current Furong team, except for King, who is the only scoring point, no other teammates can give support to King."
"So in the last quarter, the Cyclones will definitely double team King crazily and interfere with King's shooting. Once King's scoring ability is restricted, other scoring points will not be supported."
"Then this game actually loses its suspense. It's just a matter of how much the score is lost."
"Yes." When Lu Weiwei heard this, she also shook her head and sighed: "If we keep playing like this, the score difference will be at least 40 points. It will be impossible to watch. Many people have already started to go home, eh? Wait,
Junior Brother Gu, look quickly."
Lu Weiwei was mid-sentence when she suddenly noticed that Liu Xiangbei slowly walked to the center of the stage with a microphone in his hand, as if he wanted to say something to everyone.
"Everyone!"
As Liu Xiangbei's voice came from the live speakers, many fans who had given up hope and were about to go home suddenly stopped and couldn't help but look at Liu Xiangbei on the court.
At this moment, Liu Xiangbei was choked with sobs and couldn't help but sigh: "There is something that I think I need to explain to everyone. Can you please give me a few minutes of your precious time?"
When everyone heard this, they also looked sideways, feeling a little confused.
"What is he going to say?"
"We have already lost. I wonder what he is betting with Zhou Zhengnan this time?"
"Haha, it seems that Team Furong is completely screwed and may not support Team Furong anymore in the future."
"Yeah, King led the team to play like this. It's so miserable. I probably won't have the nerve to play here anymore."
"It's a good thing I didn't bet on King's Seremban team tonight, otherwise I would have to lose money. I thought it was normal to lose, but losing so many points is still a bit shocking."
…
Everyone was chattering in various ways, venting their dissatisfaction with King.
Then Liu Xiangbei, who was on the court at this time, also took a deep breath and continued to say with a choked voice:
"Perhaps, tonight is the last time the basketball park... holds a basketball game. From now on... the basketball park will no longer exist."
"What?"
Hearing this, everyone's restless voices suddenly became quiet.
Everyone stood there, staring blankly at the center of the stadium.
At this moment, there was total silence.
After a few seconds, everyone seemed to have come to their senses, but the whispers began again.
Even the host was stunned. He picked up the microphone and asked Liu Xiangbei: "Haha, Mr. Liu, you... what do you mean by this? Why don't we all understand?"
"It means..." Liu Xiangbei turned his head and glanced at Zhou Zhengnan sitting on the sidelines, and couldn't help but said:
"It means that the development and operation of this basketball park will be handed over to Mr. Zhou. The basketball park was originally going to be demolished, but this is where I played as a child, so I have always been strongly opposed to it."
"In my opinion, this place not only carries my childhood dream, but also carries my special feelings for the basketball park."
"In that basketball game that caused a sensation in the city, I was also one of the main players of the team. I won the game, won the MVP award, and received a medal from a retired national team player."
After the words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet. No one spoke loudly anymore, and everyone looked at Liu Xiangbei with strange eyes.
Liu Xiangbei coughed twice and said with a wry smile: "The basketball stand donated by the retired national team player back then is still stored in our company's warehouse."
"With my push, we embraced this vacant land and built the current basketball park. This is already our area and has the memories of too many people, but..."
Choking, Liu Xiangbei suppressed his emotions, covered his mouth with one hand, and continued: "But it is a pity that the time limit for the basketball park I took over to operate has expired. It has not brought any profit, and it even needs to be relied on every year.
The government invests money to maintain it.”
"However, if this area is developed into a comprehensive commercial district, it will bring some real 'benefits' to the local area."
Speaking of this, Liu Xiangbei also gestured with his hands and continued: "For example, high housing prices, traffic jams, and crowded living conditions."
"Liu Xiangbei, what do you mean?" Hearing Liu Xiangbei playing the emotional card here, he was so proud before. Zhou Nan, who was sitting on the sidelines, suddenly quit and stared.
Liu Xiangbei glanced back and said with a smile: "I don't mean anything. I just want to say that the reason why I operate the basketball park is not to make a profit. I want to preserve this area."
Looking around, Liu Xiangbei said again: "Look around here. In the past few years, with the demolition and reconstruction of shantytowns, the buildings have become taller and taller, and the road congestion has become more and more serious. What we need is not high housing prices, not high housing prices."
Various comprehensive commercial entities.”
"But we need something... those things from the beginning, the most simple and practical thing, that is the health of the people, so I will try my best to protect this land so that children who love basketball can always play happily here.
."
"But this is a piece of geomantic treasure land that is worth a lot of money. It would be such a waste to build several basketball courts. We should maximize the commercial value of this land, right?"
Faced with Liu Xiangbei's rhetoric, Zhou Zhengnan also responded tit-for-tat and even stood up directly.
It feels like the game is not over yet, but the two bosses behind the scenes are about to start a fight.
