Growing Freely Chapter 150 Inviting the Next Victim
That afternoon, several media outlets offered to conduct exclusive interviews with the Thunder.
This is a great opportunity to become famous, gain followers, and be recognized by mainstream media!
Yu Yan couldn't help but immediately summoned the whole team to prepare for the grand promotion of star players such as Long Xiaochuan and Shi Lang to expand the popularity and influence of their respective video accounts.
However, before accepting the interview, she went to Long Xiaochuan, Pan Lei and others alone to give them a few words of advice, which probably meant not to mention the conflicts in Leizhaiyu Village in front of the media, and not to talk about the urgent need for a road in Leizhai.
Long Xiaochuan was puzzled: "How do you know what I want to say? Why can't you take the opportunity to put it forward? Do you know how much we all in the village long for..."
"Just because I know it, I don't want you to tell it!"
Yu Yan's attitude was very tough, saying that it was not appropriate to expose oneself in such a public place. These media would only exaggerate the facts and turn a deaf ear to the easing conflicts in the village.
Once these biased articles and videos are published, they will have the negative effect of adding fuel to the fire and ruining her two years of hard work.
On the other side, she also asked Shi Lang and others to explain the scope of the interview topics.
Shi Lang was originally unwilling to mention the conflicts in the village, let alone the sad past of being defeated by Long Xiaochuan twice, so he readily agreed.
The few young sports reporters who came to interview had no idea about the Thunder's internal and external troubles.
They asked a few questions about yesterday's game in a nonchalant manner, and then began to make various photo-posing requests, with the words "coping with business" written all over their faces.
Yu Yan directed everyone to do some training exercises in cooperation.
Although she repeatedly emphasized during the interview to promote the team members and not write about herself, someone still came up with a curious title with a stroke of pen: "Focus on the "village bastards"-the heroine coach and her Twelve Arhats", and put the winning
The credit goes to her.
Of course, there are also normal reporters who summarize the difficulties and ups and downs the Thunder have experienced along the way and look forward to their wonderful performance in the next game.
The next day was a rest day, and the Mi County Organizing Committee arranged the women's competition.
Those village women who couldn't even dribble got together and turned the basketball game into a rugby game. There was a lot of laughter inside and outside the stadium, which cooled down the intense men's schedule.
Pan Lei was lying on the bed holding his cell phone, happily searching for reports related to him.
Looking at himself in the video, he asked his neighbor Luo Gaozhan a question: "Lao Luo, do I need to lose weight?"
"Don't, you are doing well now, but don't imitate some female celebrities. This fat body is your most recognizable symbol. If you lose weight, you will have no selling point!"
"Although, but! I think you didn't hold it in well!"
He pressed down like a mountain and hit Luo Gaozhan...
The two of them were making noise on the bed when Yu Yan suddenly pushed the door open in a hurry and saw this "unsightly" scene.
She immediately covered her eyes and backed out: "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see anything."
"Forehead……"
The two people in the room were so embarrassed that they jumped away instantly, adjusted their clothes a little and came out: "Master Yu, Sister Yu, what's the matter?"
Yu Yan looked at the two of them with a smile: "It's a meeting. We have to do our homework for the fight against Huyang tomorrow!"
Pan Lei exaggeratedly made a shooting gesture with a gun: "Okay, let's invite the next victim!"
The Thunder team gathered in a room, watched videos of each game, and analyzed the opponent's data and actual combat level.
Soon they reached a consensus: Huyang team is really not a strong team!
Among the four teams in Group A, only the Longjiao Street Team is outstanding. The remaining three teams, Huyang, Linjiang, and Kongde, are completely novices.
The Kongde team, which was brutally beaten by the Ryukaku Street team in the opening game on the first day, was not as strong as the Liji team and was eliminated from the group stage with a loss of three games.
The strength of Linjiang and Huyang is probably similar to that of Wutao team in Group B. The two teams met on the afternoon of the first day of the schedule. After nearly fifty minutes of fighting, Huyang narrowly won by 1 point.
With this game, the Huyang team secured the second place in the group ahead of time. In the subsequent games with Kongde and Longjiao Street Team, they played carelessly. The win was not so clean, but the loss was quite neat.
Yu Yan reminded everyone not to underestimate the enemy: "You said that the strength of this team is similar to that of Wu Tao. Didn't you also lose to the Wu Tao team? That is Hu Yang. Don't forget that the tiger fell to Ping Yang and was bullied by the dog!"
"There's nothing wrong with that. We can't let dogs bully us!" Long Xiaochuan still took out his big folded book, unfolded it and hung it on the wall to arrange offensive and defensive drills:
Everyone was stunned and the whole room burst into laughter.
The fifth day of the county competition, the penultimate competition day, was obviously the semi-final that attracted a lot of attention, but there was nothing special about it.
In the morning, the Thunder team played against the Huyang team, which was almost a replica of the game against Lichi on the first day. The difference was that this time the one who shined was no longer Pan Lei, but Yang Yaye, who suddenly had an enlightenment in the previous game.
Because she hit a key three-pointer at the end of the last game against Shimen, Long Xiaomei greatly praised Yang Yaye and rewarded her fiancé with a kiss.
Good guy, the young man seems to be full of long-range shooting buffs. He hit 3 consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of this game.
The players of the Huyang team looked at the score of 6:24 in the first quarter and couldn't help but start to doubt life: "We are all a grassroots team composed of civilians. Your static data is poor, how come you are so ridiculously strong in actual combat?
"
Long Xiaochuan answered cheerfully: "When playing basketball, you can't just look at your physical talent, you also have to look at your brain."
The man was quite cooperative and nodded: "Yes!"
His teammates came up and said, "You are such a big-headed idiot. People say you have no brains!"
…
Long Xiaochuan was afraid of being beaten, so he quickly asked Liu Dingding to replace him.
He didn't play in the next three quarters. Anyway, Yang Yaye felt hot and directly led the team to a victory.
I thought the afternoon game would be a bit suspenseful. The Longjiao Street team is known as the strongest in the county, but Shimen Town can play a close match with the Thunder team, and it is definitely not a weak team.
However, Long Xiaochuan ran to the sidelines early to occupy a seat, came with Yu Yan and other teammates to watch the game and collect intelligence, but found that he was disappointed.
Director Li of the Shimen team had already resigned early and left the team. The morale of this mediocre group of players who implemented the "Princeton tactics" and relied on teamwork had plummeted. They were forced to play by the team leader and township cadres. They naturally chose to work.
No effort.
The players of the Longjiao team were already crazy, but when they found out that their opponents were completely defeated, they let up the fight and turned the semi-finals of the "village ba" county competition into a slam dunk contest.
"Gandong Antetokounmpo" Zhang Yan, "Mi County Mad Dog" Wang Wenwu, "Egg-Breaking Expert" Qiao Bilan and "Big Mouth" Lu Xiao all took the stage to perform various fancy slam dunks.
After they finished their performance, they deliberately made provocative actions such as cutting their throats and wagging their fingers towards Long Xiaochuan, Shi Lang and others on the sidelines.
