"The players of Dragon Horn are people who make us jealous because of their talent, but they are not invincible opponents!"
That night, there was a meeting to study the opponent's intelligence, and Long Xiaochuan tried to cheer everyone up.
In the friendly match against the Tomahawks a while ago, when the first three quarters completely collapsed, didn't Long Jae-yeon lead everyone in a wonderful counterattack?
Liu Dingding curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "But the Dragons are injured! Without Qiandong Lone Wolf, who can play such a sharp attack? Is it up to you?"
He deliberately used the word "Dragon Team" very strongly because he didn't take Long Xiaochuan, the new captain, seriously.
Long Xiaochuan was unhappy but couldn't find any fault.
Pan Lei couldn't stand this man and immediately retorted: "Although Uncle Zaiyuan is no longer here, he taught us everything we need to teach. His spirit of not giving up any goal remains here!"
This sounds strange.
Outside the door, Long Zaiyuan limped into the door with his right hand in plaster hanging: "What do you mean I'm gone? I'm not dead!"
Long Xiaochuan turned around in surprise and rushed over in a hurry: "Uncle, are you discharged from the hospital?"
"I sneaked out and left a note for the nurse."
As soon as Long Zaiyuan finished answering, he immediately cried out in pain: "You brat, please be gentle. Not only do I have injuries on my hands, I also have bandages on my legs."
Everyone knew that he had cut his hand that day, but they didn't know that he had been stabbed in the leg when he kicked Tian Sihai before.
Long Zaiyuan gave a brief explanation and moved to the center of the room to talk about business.
He first affirmed everyone's wonderful performance in the match against the Shimen team. Everyone commented and praised it, which made everyone feel warm in their hearts.
Then he set the tone for the next game: "I don't think we have to win the finals of the county competition. The provincial league gives each county two places, so even if we lose, it won't affect our promotion."
Yu Yan looked over sideways: "Uncle Yuan, this is not like your style. Don't you fight for every ball and win every game? Have you forgotten that winning this game has huge benefits!"
On the first day of the county competition, the county party committee leaders announced that the next competition would be hosted in the town of the championship team!
Take a look at the flow of people in Shuangqi Community these days.
The food stalls selling kebabs, steamed buns, pancakes and stinky tofu at the door are really profitable. Even if you just set up a freezer at the intersection and sell ice cream, popsicles and mineral water, it will be worthy of the legend of "getting rich in three days" .
Just imagine, how happy would everyone be if next year's competition was scheduled to be held in Leizhai?
Even if the stadium facilities and reception capacity are taken into account and the home stadium is decided to be held in Yucun, isn't there Shi Zhenyue's food stall? In such a good location, the daily turnover is not tens of thousands?
He can earn as much as he did in the past year in seven days. Doesn't this motivate him to play well and work hard to win?
Long Zaiyuan listened patiently to her and then nodded: "The benefits you mentioned are very tempting, but these are all external temptations. What is the difference between the 50,000 yuan winning prize that the coach of the Shimen team finally called out? Are we playing basketball?" , is the motivation to win just for money and profit?"
Yu Yan was stunned, and her inner monologue was: "What he said makes sense, but I am speechless..."
Long Zaiyuan turned to look at everyone: "From the village competition to the county competition, we faced almost all situations where we had to win. In order to pursue our dreams, we were forced to find ways to win, so we had to use various methods to win. Means, including some not-so-glorious and not-so-bright strategies.”
Many people present lowered their heads. Even if they didn't use dirty tricks like Pan Lei or commit fouls like Yu Zhongyi, who hasn't done something dirty in the game?
Pushing, pulling, kneeling, stepping on the feet, trash talking, these unsportsmanlike things, none of them did less!
Long Zaiyuan looked at Shi Lang and Long Xiaochuan: "During the village competition, Lei Zhai used some tricks, so the win was not glorious, and Yucun also lost unconvinced, right?"
Both of them nodded, thinking of the old events of their fight in the distance, they both lowered their heads in embarrassment.
This also indirectly affected the decision-making of the leaders of Leiming Town, changing the original tradition of a single village team going out, thus recruiting elites to form the current team.
Long Zaiyuan went around in a big circle and finally expressed his true intention: "So, our final has attracted a lot of attention and has a wide range of influence. Let's restrain ourselves. No matter whether it is off the court or on the court, don't do it again.
Small moves, dirty tricks, a clean game, an upright contest with the opponent."
"Uncle Yuan still has the height and level. When we win, we must win glory, and when we lose, we must lose magnanimously!"
Yu Yan smiled and said a few words of praise, then found a step for herself.
Everyone echoed in unison. Without the psychological burden of having to win, the next tactical arrangement became simpler.
Long Xiaochuan leaned over the folding book and crossed out all the blue boxes under the timeline that represented defensive rounds. Since the opponent's personal ability was strong and everyone on his side was inferior to the opposing players, there was no need to use a full-court press.
Okay, let's play two or three combination defense from beginning to end.
When he said these words, Long Xiaochuan felt a little uncomfortable, because many domestic games now, whether football or basketball, seem to be like this: "I'm happy if I can prevent it, but I don't have to force myself if I can't. Anyway, win or lose."
It doesn’t matter!”
He didn't want his team to fall into this unenterprising situation, so he worked hard on the red grid's offensive round.
Just like coach Anda asked the Lichi team to play aggressively earlier, he also suggested that they should attack boldly, make full use of the combination skills in training, show more personal style, and create the momentum of the Thunder team.
In those red grids, names are gradually filled in, which means that everyone has the opportunity to show off their unique skills.
Long Zaiyuan nodded in support. In the last quarter of the friendly match with the Tomahawks, he attacked the opponent's basket again and again. Wasn't he trying to convey this spirit of not admitting defeat and not lying flat?
The hotel was very quiet that day. The eliminated teams had left, and the remaining four teams stayed in their rooms and did not go out to cause trouble or stir up trouble.
The Thunder team consciously restrained their off-field actions, while the Dragon Horn team was disdainful.
As for the Huyang team and Shimen team that will decide third and fourth place in the county tomorrow morning, there is no suspense due to Shimen team's early draw.
The Huyang team just went through the motions and finished third.
On the seventh day of the Mi County "Village Basketball" selection competition and the afternoon of the last day of the competition, the championship battle between the Thunder Team and the Longjiao Team finally kicked off.
There were lights and colorful decorations inside and outside the stadium, and the audience was full of people and drums. The enthusiasm of the audience did not diminish at all.
The only drawback is that the weather is gloomy and it may rain.
