Long Xiaochuan hopes that his father and uncles will rejoin the basketball team.
If five people including Long Zaitian and Pan Qingguo join the basketball team, the young players can take turns and rest, the tactics can be enriched, and the chance of winning will definitely increase significantly.
Furthermore, Yu Yan had previously reminded that the Leizhai basketball team had too few members, not even a substitute, and did not meet the registration conditions for "village ba".
Long Xiaochuan made this request to his father at that time, but he just wanted them to round up the number of people.
Now he must go all out to fight for the "village bastard" for Leizhai, hoping to mobilize all the manpower and material resources in the village. What he wants is not just to let the elders make up the numbers, but to really need them to go out and sweat and work hard.
However, facing his son's ardent hope, Long Zaitian hesitated for two seconds: "You don't have to win. As long as you show enough courage, tenacious fighting spirit and love for basketball in the game, I think you can win."
The respect of opponents attracts the attention of netizens, right..."
"This is different from what you said before!" Long Xiaochuan said anxiously: "Last night at the meeting, we were asked to reach the finals, stand on the podium, accept media interviews, and ask the leaders to build roads. Now we are asking you to contribute.
Does it become ‘it’s not necessary to win’?”
Long Zaitian scratched his head: "We are old, we don't get involved anymore, we don't get involved anymore..."
He turned around and left, leaving everyone there without caring about their incomprehensible looks and whispers.
Pan Qingguo and Yang Hongbing caught up with them in embarrassment. One of them said: "We are not completely incapable of fighting. We can't be vague when we should contribute to the village."
The other pointed directly at Long Zaitian's true intentions: "Why do you need to embarrass this junior?"
After leaving the crowd, Long Zaitian's expression softened a lot: "This kid, if you don't force him, he doesn't know how capable he is. Don't worry, I have already given him some guidance and he knows what to do.
"
Long Xiaochuan did know.
That day, he went to the mountains to harvest honey for the first time. Before going up the ladder to heaven, his father had told him to go to the city to find his uncle Long Zaiyuan.
If this basketball master can be persuaded to return to the village to play for him, it will be much better than finding five ordinary old men.
But the problem is that Long Zaiyuan's whereabouts are unknown, and his eyes are darkened. Where can he find him?
And just adding one Yong Jae-yeon only brings together 6 people, which is far from enough for a basketball team that wants to take a ranking.
Long Xiaochuan immediately wanted to recruit people from the villagers who were watching to supplement the depth of the bench.
The villagers who had been actively donating money just now and shouting the slogan "If you have money or don't have money, contribute effort, unite as one to create miracles", all of a sudden, they were as cowardly and flinched as a dragon in the field.
No way, the score of 66:1 in the basketball game on March 3 really left a huge psychological shadow on the people of Leizhai.
Many people in the village are not good at basketball and don't like playing basketball. They know that if they join the basketball team, they will just make up for it. They will not take credit for winning, and they will be the back-up when losing. Who wants to get into this mess?
Seeing that everyone was about to disperse, Long Xiaochuan became a little anxious. It was rare for the villagers to get together, so he couldn't recruit a new person...
At this moment, Yu Yan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed one of them: "Long Lisheng, you stay!"
Long Lisheng immediately had a grimace on his face: "Cadre Yu, I have planted saplings at your command, and now I am considered a person who has been lifted out of poverty. Why are you still targeting me? Please forgive me."
Yu Yan ignored him and just pulled him to Long Xiaochuan: "Let him play basketball with you. It would be a pity for such a young man to hang out in the village every day."
Long Xiaochuan looked at Long Lisheng with a hundred reluctances in his heart.
First of all, this man is of medium height, slightly chubby, and does not seem to have basketball talent. There seems to be no use in recruiting him to the basketball team except to increase the number of players.
Secondly, everyone knows that this person has a recognized nickname, "Leggy".
The reason is that there are many small bumps called "digital warts" growing in the hair on the back of his head.
This is a skin disease. Each pimple is only the size of a soybean. It looks like a gray-brown bump emerging from the middle of the hair. However, Longlisheng has multiple warts, with more than a dozen small warts clustered together unevenly.
Together they are as big as a persimmon and look quite scary.
Playing basketball requires physical contact. Who knows if this disease will be transmitted to everyone?
What annoyed him the most was that Long Lisheng was lazy and never participated in village collective activities. It was impossible for him to be willing to train hard every day and work hard for the honor of Leizhai.
Long Xiaochuan looked at it and was not satisfied, and was thinking about finding some excuse to refuse.
Long Lisheng has already made some conditions: "It's not impossible if you want me to contribute to the basketball team. If you calculate my wages every day, I will join."
Long Xiaochuan was asked. So far, he and his four companions were in a state of generating electricity for love and had not considered the issue of income at all. This scoundrel had not paid anything and opened his mouth to talk about money first.
He spread his hands and said, "Where is the money? None of us are paid."
"Do you think I'm blind? There's more than 20,000 yuan in your bag. Just give me 100 yuan every day."
Yu Yan stared: "Long Lisheng, are you obsessed with money? I am working hard for the future of the village."
Long Lisheng looked like he was in need of food and salt: "Then their family is well off and they don't have to worry about food and drink and hang out on the basketball court all day long. How can I compare with them if I have a full meal but not enough food?"
How can I earn enough money to marry a wife? How about you give me fifty, fifty is fine."
Long Xiaochuan protected the military backpack: "This is not okay. The money must be returned to everyone. We cannot use the villagers' money to play ball."
"Tch, I think you don't want to use your own family's money! You are just like your father, you can only talk about the situation. If your father really wants to do something good for the village, he should give each of us a sum of money first.
, wouldn’t everyone be willing to play basketball if they live a good life?”
Long Xiaochuan was so angry that his face was livid: "You..."
Pan Lei squeezed over, stood between the two of them, and pushed Long Lisheng: "Get out! I don't want a bastard like you to be a teammate."
Long Li was unconvinced and pushed Pan Lei back. As a result, he was bounced back half a step. He could only curse: "Idiot! A bunch of idiots! I am asking for your wages, and you are driving me away? You have all been brainwashed by him, right?
Right? What are you planning?"
Pan Lei couldn't help but wanted to beat someone up, but Yu Zhongyi and Luo Gaozhan persuaded him to stop.
Long Lisheng walked away in a big way, shaking his head and sighing exaggeratedly along the way, as if he was heartbroken.
Long Xiaochuan looked at Yu Yan: "Cadre Yu, sister Yu, you can't just try to get everyone to work for me in order to complete your own poverty alleviation KPIs, right?"
Yu Yan smiled sheepishly: "No way, I also want to help you complete team building as soon as possible."
