As soon as Long Xiaochuan coaxed Yu Yan, he was scolded by Long Zaiyuan.
Because he needed to be hospitalized for infusion, Long Zaiyuan was forcibly "sealed" on the hospital bed by the nurse. He could only endure the pain in his palms and watch the live broadcast to understand the game process.
As a result, the more I watched, the more angry I became. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I called: "You can't play without me? What are you doing in the second quarter? Sleepwalking or taking a walk? Don't blame Du Gangnan for being disobedient."
You let him play on the court for so long? You scold Liu Dingding for not passing the ball!"
Long Xiaochuan felt aggrieved and spoke back without even thinking: "You think I am you, what should I do if they disobey me?"
"Then think about why people don't obey you? What do you usually do? Have you acted responsibly? When have you taken the initiative to care about them?"
Long Zaiyuan bluntly said that Long Xiaochuan was like a shrinking bird during this period, hiding under his own wings and enjoying the success without any intention of making progress.
This is indeed reasonable. Long Xiaochuan admitted that he had this idea. He has been slacking off since his uncle joined the team, but he emphasized that he never relaxed on the court, especially in this game where he really fought hard to the end.
"Kid, you have to understand that even Jordan could not achieve his god-like achievements without the help of Pippen, Rodman and others. Don't imitate me and always attack alone. This road of lone wolf will not work.
Only by driving your teammates to become stronger can you go further!"
After Long Zaiyuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone, leaving Long Xiaochuan alone to taste the deep meaning.
But then, Du Gangnan's cell phone rang. Yes, it was Long Zaiyuan.
From Du Gangnan's grimace, we can guess that Long Zaiyuan's words must be unpleasant to hear.
The rest of the team was still gloating about the misfortune, but soon discovered that no one could escape, not even Luo Gaozhan, who had no chance to play in the last game.
From then on, they began to be afraid of answering Long Zaiyuan's phone calls, and nicknamed the call - "Death Call".
Despite the scolding, Long Zaiyuan still asked Yu Yan about the arrangements for the next game. Before hanging up the phone, he told Yu Yan: "I know it was because my accident affected my preparations and directly led to the loss, so I
I hate it, I have to beat them personally to revive their morale. Maybe I spoke too harshly, and some people have too much self-esteem. Please help me calm down."
Yu Yan smiled: "Is this the tenderness of a tough man? Well, I will pay attention. You can rest in peace and recover, and wait for the good news that we have won Shimen Town!"
Although she was not scolded, she was sweating heavily on her back, knowing that Long Zaiyuan was saving face for herself.
Immediately after lunch, she took everyone back to the basketball court to occupy seats.
There is no better way to collect intelligence and analyze your opponents than watching the game live.
Shimen Town was going to play Lichi Township this afternoon. Yu Yan led the team to arrive early and inevitably met the Lichi team and coach Anda.
Coach An obviously saw clearly the qualifying situation of Group B and knew what this game in Lichi Township meant to Leiming Town, so he walked over and said, "Coach Yu, is there anything you want to say to me?"
In his imagination, Yu Yan would definitely apologize humbly and beg him to play seriously and stop Shimen Town.
But Yu Yan's reaction was unexpected. She gave a thumbs up with a smile: "You are a man!"
"That's it?"
"if not?"
"Damn! You're not living in a dream, are you? Do you know what my game means to you?"
Anda slanted his shoulders and shook his legs, putting his hands in his pockets. If he had a cigarette in his mouth, he would be no different from a street gangster.
Yu Yan looked down on this kind of person from the bottom of her heart and made no secret of her disdain: "You are a basketball player. Don't tarnish the sport of basketball and make your teammates look down on you!"
"???"
Anda was speechless and looked back at the Lichi Township team members under his command with a guilty conscience. He found that those useless rookies were indeed looking at him, and his heart suddenly tightened.
Yes, it is already embarrassing to receive a high salary from Lichi Township, but to submit a report card of losing all three games in the group stage. If he lost two games by 30 or 40 points, his reputation would be even worse.
No more?
He felt discouraged after thinking about it and pointed at Yu Yan: "Humph, just wait for me!"
Yu Yan clapped her hands gently, as if they were covered in dust, and turned around proudly to hold a meeting with the team members. What greeted her were the admiring looks and unified gestures of the 11 team members: "Six!"
I have to say, her provoking method is really useful.
Anda returned to the team as if he had been given a shot of blood, shouting and cheering to boost morale. Regardless of his level, at least his hard-working performance was worthy of the folks in the Lichi Township audience.
The coaches and players from Shimen Town arrived belatedly. They were having a fuss while changing shoes and warming up on the sidelines. Everyone looked confident.
Shi Lang took the roster and introduced the position, technical characteristics, etc. of the opponent's players one by one. In summary, the players in Shimen Town are not particularly famous or eye-catching. They are strong in cooperation.
Long Xiaochuan nodded: "Princeton system?"
Shi Lang pointed his index finger at Long Xiaochuan, his eyebrows dancing with joy: "Yes, you know how to play football!"
The so-called Princeton system can be understood as a group of players with average physical talents who come together to rely on their flexible minds, non-stop running, and continuous passing to tear apart the opponent's defense and break the curse of monsters dominating the court.
Of course, Pan Lei and others were confused: "Can you speak human language?"
Long Xiaochuan smiled and turned his head to explain: "In the last friendly match, the Tomahawks beat us 28:4 in the first quarter, remember? Their quick conduct, pulling without the ball, cutting, running, slipping through the back door and so on.
The Princeton system of play.”
Sun Changxing reacted: "Oh, aren't we learning this? Then what kind of system do we also have?"
Shi Lang interrupted unceremoniously: "With all due respect, we are far behind."
Long Xiaochuan was afraid that criticizing his teammates' shortcomings would only increase conflicts, so he immediately changed the subject: "There is no point in talking about this now. Let's see how the two teams play."
Anda has studied the opponent's tactics and used second and third zone defense to strengthen the defense of the inside area. When the opponent runs without the ball in a large area, he requires the players to switch defenses to cover in time instead of chasing the opponent. In this way, the inside area will be strengthened.
The defense will be very solid and not expose too many loopholes.
The game was quite satisfactory, with the score showing an upward trend from the first quarter. Not only did the Lichi team not fall behind, they even had a faint tendency to win the game.
The auditorium on the sidelines was very lively, and the Lichi villagers and friends who did not know the truth cheered and cheered hard.
But the expressions of Long Xiaochuan, Shi Lang, Yu Yan and others were extremely serious, with worries in their eyes.
Because Shimen Town is obviously deliberately hiding its strength, the players on the field are all unknown substitutes!
