Pure Love Chapter 3 Restructuring the Leizhai Basketball Team
Long Zaitian looked at his son blankly, as if he was looking at a familiar stranger.
But a moment later, he picked up the yellow rubber shoes with an angry face: "Little brat, it seems that you have only been playing basketball in college these past few years, and you haven't read any books..."
Seeing that the farce of the father chasing his son was about to happen again, Yu Yan quickly stopped in the middle: "Uncle Long, please calm down, things are not like before. In this era, as long as you have skills, you will have a bright future in anything. I think
If Xiaochuan is really good at playing basketball, it would be great to return to the village and become a basketball anchor. If he can really take advantage of the popularity of the 'village ba' and become famous, not only can he make money, but he may also lead the whole village to make a lot of money!"
"My close friend!" Long Xiaochuan was so excited that he immediately showed off his gorgeous dribbling in the rain, including hips, emergency stops, pullbacks, prayers, turns... If there was a basket in the yard, he even wanted to take advantage of the situation to make one.
Tomahawk dunk.
Yu Yan clapped her hands and praised, this is definitely something she has practiced hard!
Long Zai Tian's eyes showed admiration and pride, but he still said harshly: "Don't let him fool you, Mr. Yu. Basketball is a team sport. What's the use of just being able to play by yourself? You can't even find four young people in the village. You
How can you fight with others? You should go back to the city to develop your career, and just pretend that what happened today never happened."
Long Xiaochuan understood that his father and his old friends could not afford to lose and would not go out on behalf of Lei Village anymore.
He was anxious: "How can you pretend that it never happened? Don't you know that Shi Zhenxing's son broadcast the game live on the Internet? The news spread all over the country. If our Leizhai doesn't win back, we will never see anyone again.
La!"
Long Xiaochuan told what happened to him on the bus, and once again expressed his determination to find a place for his father.
Yu Yan admired his unwillingness to admit defeat: "If you are confident that you can beat Yucun, I can organize another friendly match as soon as possible to offset the impact of this time."
Long Zaitian still didn't want his son to follow his old path and be humiliated in front of many neighbors, so he made a condition: "If you insist on hitting the south wall, I won't stop you. You can find someone to organize it yourself."
If the team can be put together, it must first defeat us old guys, so as not to embarrass Lei Zhai again outside."
"Okay! It's settled!" Having said this, Long Xiaochuan of course became tougher: "I will find people tomorrow, find my people, and form my team."
Yu Yan also took the opportunity to finalize: "Notify me when you are ready, and I will arrange the competition with Yucun."
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, she stood up and said goodbye.
Long Zaitian tried to persuade him to stay several times, and finally rushed his son to see him off: "The road down the mountain is not easy to walk, and it's raining. It's not safe for you to be alone."
They went out together, and happened to be seen from a distance by Xiaomei Long, who had just finished school.
This girl was so weird that she deliberately didn't catch up. Instead, she ran home and asked her father: "My brother is back with his girlfriend? What are they doing?"
Long Zaitian puffed out smoke from his nostrils: "Hmph, for someone like him who is not doing his job properly, what girl would be willing to entrust him with him for the rest of his life? That was Cadre Yu sent by the county to help the poor, and he came to our house to talk about things!"
"Oh, I know her, but looking at it this way, I think she and my brother are quite a match, but they are a bit older..."
"Stop guessing and imagining. Let's wash the rice and cook it first. I'll kill a chicken."
Long Zaitian rolled up his pipe and pot, stood up with difficulty, and looked into the depths of the village in the courtyard, dazed for a while.
Long Xiaochuan came back when it was time to turn on the lanterns. Long Xiaomei shouted happily and rushed towards him. She hung her hands around her brother's neck like she did when she was a child, asking questions.
Long Xiaochuan scratched her nose lovingly: "You've grown taller again! You are already an engaged girl, why are you still so shameless?"
Long Xiaomei stuck out her tongue and told her brother to wash his hands and eat quickly. She put a lot of chicken into his bowl and said, "Have a try. In order to welcome you home, dad stewed all the big crowing roosters!"
Long Xiaochuan secretly glanced at Long Zaitian opposite, and felt a little warmer in his heart. He took the biggest piece of chicken and said, "Abba, you eat."
Long Zaitian drank a cup of Baogu soju and looked melancholy: "If you really want to find someone to form a team, go to the county town tomorrow to find someone. Don't count on the older generation in the village. I can't even call someone to come.
You are even more useless!"
Long Xiaochuan knew who he was talking about and pretended to be calm while grabbing the rice in his bowl: "Uncle, are you still ignoring you?"
Long Zaitian angrily picked up the wine glass and drank it all: "That guy, I just thought he died outside!"
Long Xiaomei's eyes signaled her brother not to continue this topic, and she took the opportunity to fill her father's wine glass and put away the wine bottle to prevent him from drinking too much.
Long Zai Tianhun didn't care. He drank the glass of wine and went to bed. After all, he didn't want to eat a few pieces of chicken.
That night, Long Xiaochuan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, his mind was filled with memories of his uncle.
According to seniority, he calls Long Zaiyuan his uncle, but in fact the age difference between the two is only 7 years.
This man is good at basketball and was his first basketball teacher. He helped Leizhai win many honors in the past, and he can be regarded as a star figure in the three villages and two villages of Leiming Mountain.
I just don’t know what happened. He suddenly left the village a few years ago and there is no news about him.
"Well, I haven't seen him for several years, and I don't know if he is still playing basketball. But if he were here, today's game would definitely not have the result like this."
Long Xiaochuan made a list and figured out who to talk to first tomorrow.
The friends I played basketball with when I was young have long since dispersed to various places. Those who live and work in other provinces or cities, it is definitely not realistic to ask them to come back to play games. It is more reliable to go to Leiming County nearby to find a few people.
In the next room, Long Zaitian was also tossing and turning in confusion.
Although the disparity in scores during the daytime basketball game gave him a big blow, what really made him and his fellow veterans sad and discouraged was the reality that the village's economic development was far behind.
Yucun and Leizhai are feuding.
The conflicts and grievances between the two villages can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. There were deaths due to droughts, water grabbing, and competition for fertile farmland. Once every ten years, large-scale armed fights broke out between the two villages.
Become the enemy.
The new era advocates unity, stability and integration. In order to ease the relationship between the villages, the township government organizes exchange activities such as bullfighting, horse racing, playing the reed, begging for flowers, and playing basketball every year during the New Year celebrations. It also conducts legal education, which almost never happens again.
Vicious events.
However, the conflicts between the two villages have not been completely resolved in private. On the field, the competition is always fierce and it is difficult to distinguish the winner.
It was not until recent years that Yucun suddenly became developed after a tourist highway was opened, with a number of local specialty shops, landscape B&Bs and farmhouses popping up.
With the money in the village, they renovated the basketball courts and hosted basketball events in Mixiang and Leiming counties. The villagers also made a lot of money by taking advantage of the "village basketball" opportunity, and every household built new houses; some young people even opened small businesses.
car.
On the other hand, Leizhai is still nestled on the mountainside, guarding hundreds of acres of barren terraces and ponds and has become a poor village. It is already very difficult for young people to leave their hometowns to work and make a living. Who would come back just for a basketball game?
He couldn't help sighing and regretting: "Alas, the people in Lei Village are gone, and my heart is slowly going away..."
