The True Color of Youth Chapter 174 Everyone is making progress
Boss Du can find many people.
But there is a mole in the wild ball player, and certain people can no longer be used. Now he must use more covert methods and find more reliable people to do things.
He fiddled with the cigar cutter and muttered viciously: "Long Xiaochuan! Okay, you and Wang Meng just get together, but you still want to trick me? Then don't blame me for being rude!"
The situation is close to clear.
Long Xiaochuan knew that Du Qiu had a conspiracy, and Du Qiu also knew that Long Xiaochuan knew that he had a conspiracy, but he still insisted on carrying out the conspiracy to the end.
On the offseason day, the hotel where the basketball team stayed was in a mess. Eight teams were eliminated and more than a hundred people checked out together. The scene was chaotic for a time.
All members of the Thunder team were nervous and gathered in Long Xiaochuan's room to discuss what to do next and how to play in the knockout round of eight to four.
This is a cross-elimination match. The Thunder team won the first place in Group C, so their opponent was the Jiumiao Town representative team of Huangmiao County, which ranked second in Group D.
The overall strength of the Jiumiao team is very strong. Like the Lijiang County Debao team headed by Huang Kunbo and Jiang Ye, and the Sanma County Pinghu Street representative team, they are all striving to be the second strong team in the city to qualify for promotion.
The reason why they only got the second place in Group D was purely due to bad luck. In the group stage, they met the Longjiao Street Team and lost to Zhang Yan, Lu Xiao and those freaks with explosive statistics.
But even when facing the Longjiao team, the Jiumiao team played very tenaciously, holding on to the score in the first three quarters and not collapsing until the last quarter.
Long Xiaochuan found the video and studied his opponent carefully, with a sad look on his face.
It's normal for the opponent to be strong. The Thunder team specializes in playing against strong teams, but the trouble now is that their lineup is not neat and they can't go all out.
First of all, Long Xiaochuan's plaster has not been applied for three days. According to the old Chinese medicine doctor, it must not be forced on.
Secondly, Michael Du's bounty is still valid, and Shi Lang faces a high risk of injury when he plays.
The only genuine point guard left in the team is Liu Dingding. If the opponent deliberately targets and injures Liu Dingding, the Thunder team may not be able to dribble the ball past half court, and the hope of winning by then will be extremely slim.
Liu Dingding quickly expressed his position: "I have no problem, I will protect myself and fight with the team until the last second."
"That's what I say, but as long as your opponent has some brains, he will definitely target you." Long Zaiyuan pondered for a while: "Well, I feel that I have recovered well during this period. If it doesn't work, I can play as a substitute."
Everyone said in unison: "No! Even if you lose the game, we can't delay your recovery."
Even if the plaster on Yong Jae-yeon's right hand is removed, it will take him a month to recover. As for the future functional recovery, it is still unknown. If he blindly plays and the wound is accidentally torn and cracked during a fierce game, he may be completely disabled.
Long Xiaochuan originally wanted to say that he could force the match, but seeing how determined everyone was, he had no choice but to give up.
Shi Lang stood up: "Leave the game to us. I'm not afraid of getting hurt, and they can't hurt me. As long as the ball is passed to me, I can lead the team to promotion just by drawing fouls and making free throws."
Yu Yan also took the opportunity to cheer up: "Everyone's cooperation is getting better and better during this period. If we fight hard, we still have a good chance of winning."
Long Xiaochuan and Long Zaiyuan looked at each other, and both saw worry in each other's eyes. Competitions are never decided by shouting a few slogans and patting the chest.
They still discussed in detail the technical characteristics and playing habits of the main players of the old temple team, and looked at the game videos to look for weaknesses in their opponents.
Finally, Pan Lei said: "Brother Chuan, don't go to the stadium tomorrow, stay in the hotel and watch the live broadcast."
Luo Gaozhan and Sun Changxing also nodded in support: "Yes, we will not be able to take care of the surroundings of the stadium when we are concentrating on the game tomorrow. What if the coal mining team takes the opportunity to cause trouble..."
How could Long Xiaochuan be a coward? He immediately objected: "I am not a porcelain man who will break at the touch of a touch! You guys play well, Wang Meng and I will continue to lure the snake out of the hole. There is no room for negotiation on this matter."
He brought the topic back to the game and simulated the discussion over and over again, trying to think through every detail of the game.
But the charm of competitive sports lies in the infinite possibilities!
Not to mention only one day, even if you give them another week to prepare, there is still no way to think of everything.
The next day, the fifth day of the "Village Ba" Qiandong Division, the eight-to-four knockout round officially began, and the match between the Thunder Team and the Jiumiao Team once again became the focus.
One is the home team of college students, and the other is a recognized strong team. Everyone expects this game to be an exciting and fierce showdown. Therefore, there are so many spectators on the sidelines that there is no room to stand. The nearby trees and walls are all occupied. .
What's even more outrageous is that due to the crowds at the venue, even the mobile phone signal became congested. Yu Zhengyi and his basketball anchor friends grabbed good seats in advance, but they were forced to shut down the live broadcast due to network lag.
The Thunder team starts with Liu Dingding, Shi Lang, Xue Zhuang, Yang Yaye and Gao Fu.
Long Xiaochuan continued to watch the game from the sidelines, which aroused dissatisfaction from the audience. Everyone was here to criticize him, so how could he not play all the time?
Some people have already begun to take the lead, saying that since the start of the game, this kid has been fishing almost every game, and he has played well in half a game in total, which has seriously hurt the feelings of the students at Qiandong Normal University!
Long Xiaochuan couldn't explain it, so he could only make a fuss and use a loudspeaker to interact with the audience: "I'm conserving my strength so that I can make a big splash in the finals!" "When the team is in crisis, I will stand up."
These words left people with some suspense, so everyone watched the game patiently.
Soon they discovered that the Thunder Team was really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
Liu Dingding, who replaced Long Xiaochuan, performed particularly amazingly in this game.
Unlike when he was hesitant before and only liked to play for Shi Lang and Xue Zhuang, Liu Dingding played much more proactively this time.
The first goal in the opening game was when he received a jump ball from Xue Zhuang and then went on a fast break. He and Shi Lang hit the opponent's three-point line at the same time.
At that time, Shi Lang's position was closer to the basket and more threatening.
But he voted directly!
The basketball passed over the blocking fingertips of the old temple team player and hit the board into the basket.
Listening to the cheers in their ears, Long Xiaochuan and Long Zaiyuan looked at each other. Neither could understand why Liu Dingding would take the risk, and they both felt something unusual.
Yong Jae-yeon guessed: "Has he been suppressed on the bench for too long?"
"It's possible." Long Xiaochuan accepted this view with a smile and asked: "If his teammates are unreliable, how will the 'Gandong Lone Wolf' handle the ball?"
Long Zaiyuan raised his eyebrows: "Just fight like this!"
"Haha, it seems that he is also influenced by you."
Long Xiaochuan turned his attention to Liu Dingding, but he was very happy in his heart. Everyone on the team is working hard to grow, and there will be obvious progress in every game. This feeling is quite wonderful!
