Growing Freely Chapter 133 Who doesn’t want to compete for the championship?
Wei Shang opened his mouth and saw his teammates from Longjiao Street coming back from outside. To avoid suspicion, he could only say goodbye in a hurry: "We will play the opening game tomorrow, you will know after you see it. By the way, I made an appointment with Uncle You to watch the game.
Let’s take some time to get together.”
The Thunder team's first dinner in the county was at Pan Lei's sour soup fish restaurant.
Pan Lei said that when he entered the county town, he arrived at his own home, and he should be treated well.
Pan Lei's parents laughed happily. They took Yu Yan and Long Xiaochuan's hands and thanked them profusely, saying that they never dreamed that their son would have such a promising day.
Pan Lei's mother told her son about the dark time when he used to be a cook in the store, with tears in her eyes as she talked about it.
Yu Yan feels deeply that most of us don’t work hard, we just lack a direction and an opportunity.
Pan Lei is usually carefree and always likes to joke around. The stadium with him is always full of laughter and joy, but who has noticed that he has always been very hardworking and working hard to keep up with everyone?
She went to discuss with Long Zaiyuan, thinking that if the game goes well tomorrow, she would try to give Pan Lei as much playing time as possible.
Long Zaiyuan understood her good intentions and immediately nodded with a smile: "You are the coach, you have the final say!"
Yu Yan smiled bitterly: "My name as a coach is not worthy of my name. I really didn't know how high the sky was before and took things in the second dimension seriously. If you hadn't been helping me, I would have broken up the team long ago."
While everyone on the team was feasting and praising Pan's father's craftsmanship, she whispered: "If I guess correctly, in the friendly match with the Tomahawks, Xing Wei's push to you was agreed upon by you.
Everyone can see it, right?"
Long Zaiyuan glanced at her in shock, then smiled bitterly: "You are so shrewd."
"Oh, I didn't think of it, it was Xiaochuan who told me. He said your behavior that time was very abnormal."
"This brat..."
Long Zaiyuan smiled and pointed at his nephew sitting opposite.
Long Xiaochuan also smiled back and moved his eyes to the happy scene on the table, feeling quite moved in his heart.
The team's current cohesiveness is all due to Uncle Zaiyuan. They say he is the lone wolf of Qiandong. In fact, he knows how to lead the team better than anyone else, and he is more eager to get the support and help of his teammates than anyone else.
He secretly vowed that he would do well in this competition and live up to everyone present.
The next day, the double-flag basketball court in Longjiao Street was crowded with people and became a sea of joy.
Leaders of various townships, basketball teams, and groups of relatives and friends who came from all over the county to cheer for the event swarmed in. There were at least 20,000 to 30,000 people at the scene.
With the stadium as the center, there was a huge traffic jam within a radius of one kilometer, and various mobile vendors blocked several entrances and exits of the stadium.
Most people were complaining and laughing as they crowded into the stadium, as if they were attending a big fair during the holidays.
The opening ceremony was warm and short, and the county leader's speech was very high-level. Apart from the official clichés at the beginning, he once again elaborated on the concept of "a basketball fire that starts a prairie fire, and a road to common prosperity in boiling mountainous areas", using the grand scene around the stadium today as an example, and
Announced on the spot: "Which team wins the county championship this year, next year's 'village ba' county competition will be held in that town!"
This decision instantly gave the game more meaning.
Look around here, the sea of people is equivalent to walking political achievements and RMB. Which of the leaders of the various towns and villages who came to watch the battle is not jealous?
They immediately conveyed the decision to their basketball team, cheered up, and directly raised their previous goals to the height of competing for the championship.
The athletes of each team are also energetic. In the past, everyone said that "village ba" is an opportunity to promote their hometown. Being famous can bring huge benefits to towns and mountain villages, but many people can't explain the specific benefits.
Now it’s easy to understand, it’s to attract tens of thousands of people to your hometown. Just imagine, so many people eat and drink and party there for seven days. How much wealth will this bring to your hometown? With such benefits, who wouldn’t do their best?
The Thunder team was lucky, and the game against Lichi Township was scheduled for the afternoon of the first day, so everyone sat on the sidelines and watched the opening game with ease.
The organizing committee is very tidy. Before the official game between Longjiao Street and Kongde Town, a children's basketball game was held. The children played decently for more than 20 minutes, many of which impressed the adults.
A brilliant performance from Liang.
Yu Yan turned to look at Shi Lang: "How is your children's basketball class going? How about we also organize a children's team to compete next year?"
Shi Lang was so excited that his face flushed: "Okay! My dad complained to me just now, saying why our town didn't hold a children's competition, otherwise it would definitely make Lei Ming Town proud. You didn't see it?
, he complained to me a lot."
He turned around to look for Shi Zhenxing in the crowd, not realizing at all that he was speaking ill of his father.
Yu Yan was not angry because of this, and asked Shi Lang to convey her apology: "It was my fault at work. I have conducted surveys in various villages before. Except for your Yu Village, parents in other villages are busy working to make money, and few are willing to accompany their children to play."
For competitions, for example, Lei Zhai couldn’t even raise five children, so I didn’t hold the selection for the children’s group. Next year, next year we will definitely organize the children’s group and the women’s group, and make it a lively event!”
Shi Lang's face lit up with joy: "Then we have to fight for a championship and hold the county competition right at home. My dad will probably be able to laugh out of his dreams."
Yu Yan followed up with a compliment: "Perhaps this is Secretary Zhenxing's original intention to create a basketball gym and organize children's basketball training."
Long Xiaochuan stood nearby, listening to the conversation between the two, and suddenly felt a little touched in his heart.
My uncle always told him to take a longer view and take the initiative to take on a mission higher than revitalizing the small mountain village. Could this be what he was referring to?
However, the game between Longjiao Street and Kongde Town was about to start. All the players, including Wei Shang, came on the field to warm up. He immediately focused more on observing his opponent.
Next to him, Pan Lei moved a chair from nowhere and fixed the mobile phone holder for the live broadcast on it. His fat face filled the entire screen from time to time: "Brothers, the exciting 'village ba' county competition is about to begin.
Please pay attention and keep Fat Brother in mind so he doesn’t get lost!"
Long Xiaochuan looked at the live broadcast on so many mobile phones around him, frowned and picked up his mobile phone: "With so many people live broadcast, is anyone watching our account?"
He clicked in and found that there were 800 people online in real time in the upper right corner, and the number was still rising.
The "hardcore fans" in the comment area were divided into two groups. A few serious people asked when the five young men from Lei Village would compete, who they would play in the first game, etc., but more less serious guys signed a petition: "Is Sister Yu here?
Fatty, get out of the way and don’t stop me from seeing Sister Yu!”
