Long Zaiyuan did not participate in the competition yesterday. In addition to motivating the juniors to strive for success and hide their strength, the main reason was that he wanted to observe Yu Cun's technical and tactical play and make up for the intelligence class he had missed for seven years.
This sight really showed him the way.
Today's Yucun is like a wealthy football team compared to the other 10 villages.
They have a well-organized staff with comprehensive skills, and any bench player can be compared to the main tool players of other villages.
Although Shi Lang looks like a scoundrel and scoundrel second-generation ancestor, he still has a way of directing the team to play games. Yesterday he played against Dongliu team, and today he completely defeated Houwu team, using full-court press and exhaustion.
Strategy.
In this way, their team's deep bench advantage is maximized, without giving their opponents any chance to make a comeback.
In the previous preparation training, Long Zaiyuan simulated countless duels between Leizhai and Yucun, and had already formulated a complete set of tactics to restrict the main forces such as Shi Lang, Liu Dingding, and Xue Zhuang.
But it wasn't until today that he discovered that the cards in his hand were still too bad. There were many substitutes. No matter how Lei Zhai adjusted, the hope of winning was still very slim.
"How to put it, it's like the Chinese men's basketball team versus the American Dream Team in 2008. It might be a close game in the first half, but it might collapse in the second half."
When Long Zaitian heard what he said, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.
He pondered for a while and said: "Don't be discouraged. The situation on the court is changing rapidly and anything can happen. You must go all out and show the courage to win when the brave meets in a narrow road. Even if you can only win half the game, you must still make a difference.
The good man from the village is full of energy!"
Long Xiaochuan patted his chest: "Since I can't think of any good countermeasures, I can only do my best."
Pan Lei responded immediately: "Yes! Fight to the end, don't let the people of Yucun see us all."
Once again, everyone joins hands and cheers: "Unite as one and create miracles!"
While everyone in Leizhai was resting and deducing tactics, Shi Zhenxing, because his prestige in the village had been damaged many times recently, approached Shi Lang to discuss: "Can the afternoon game be played at the Leizhai basketball court instead?"
Shi Lang was surprised at first, but then he thought clearly, clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, we have no objection, we just don't know whether Yu Yan and the township leaders agree or not."
Shi Zhenxing nodded with satisfaction: "As long as you are sure of victory, leave the rest to me."
He quickly found Yu Yan and stated the reason for the temporary change of home court: "Leizhai is too poor. Let's share some traffic with them. Let's get rich first and then get rich later. This will also help you complete your poverty alleviation tasks and rural revitalization work."
Yu Yan wanted to arrange the home court in Lei Village from the beginning. When she heard Shi Zhenxing's initiative, there was no reason to refuse, so she immediately went to discuss it with the leaders of Lei Ming Town.
When Shi Zhenxing returned to the village committee to persuade the villagers, he used another set of rhetoric.
He made an impassioned speech in the WeChat group: "We Yucun people, every one of us, have dreamed of owning the entire Thunder Mountain since our ancestors!"
"But the people in Leizhai built stone walls, blocking our way into the mountains. As a result, many older people have never entered Leizhai in their entire lives."
"This basketball game is an opportunity. I want to change my home court to Leizhai."
"There are two considerations here. The first is that the people in Leizhai are poor, and there are few people who come to our village to watch football, so we can't make much money from them; the second consideration is that the last game on March 3rd,
We are very proud of our victory, but many people in Leizhai were not present, so this slap does not hurt."
"So, I want all the people in Yucun to be able to walk into Lei Village openly in the name of cheering. Think about it, how proud everyone is when our team wins in their village?!"
Just like how proud Shi Lang was when he led Liu Dingding and Xue Zhuang back from Leizhai, for the people of Yucun, it is a feat to "bravely" into Leizhai and still escape unscathed, and it can be written into the village genealogy.
Blow for several lifetimes!
Therefore, the people of Yucun quickly formed a unified opinion in the WeChat group and supported Shi Zhenxing's proposal, even if this meant that everyone had to walk nearly two kilometers of mountain roads.
In the village selection competition for "village ba", the grassroots level has great autonomy. Thanks to Yu Yan's efforts, the leaders chose to respect public opinion.
Long Zaitian was confused. After receiving the notice, he was in a dilemma: "For us, it is a good thing to change the away game to a home game and let the leaders feel the travel difficulties in Lei Village. But our basketball court is not up to standard.
, one of the backboards is still broken..."
Shi Zhenxing waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. We have ready-made tempered glass accessories in our warehouse. If someone has the tools, they will replace it for you in a moment. This backboard was broken by Shi Lang, and it is natural that I will compensate you for a new one."
Long Zaitian obviously felt that the other party was a weasel giving New Year greetings to the chicken and had no good intentions, but at this point, he couldn't refuse.
So, in the afternoon of that day, people from Yucun, carrying old and young children, riding motorcycles, and driving tractors, poured into Lei Village in such a large force that Grandpa Wu thought they were coming to visit.
He led a group of old men and women to skillfully take out hoes, sticks, and rolling pins from behind the door...
Grandpa Wu is old but not confused. After hearing the cause and effect, he knows what medicine Shi Zhenxing sells in the gourd, and he firmly opposes letting the Yucun people enter the stockade.
Long Zaitian and the township leaders spent a lot of time convincing him.
Grandpa Wu immediately called on the whole village to go to the basketball court to cheer for the Leizhai basketball team. In terms of momentum, they could not lose even half a point to Yucun!
As a result, an unprecedented number of nearly a thousand people gathered around the small basketball court in Leizhai.
The people in the two villages spontaneously divided areas, and there were dedicated personnel to maintain order, but the verbal confrontation started when the athletes were warming up.
Yucun has 12 players, and they looked very professional during the warm-up. They lined up in a long line to kick and stretch, divided into two lines to dribble for layups, and shot in an orderly manner to find their touch.
But there were only six people on Long Xiaochuan's side, each holding a ball and practicing. It didn't look very professional at first glance, and it attracted boos from the people in Yucun.
Seeing that the game was about to start, Long Zaitian called his brother aside and whispered something.
Long Zaiyuan called his teammates to come over and adjust the tactics: "We will go all out to play half-time. Xiaochuan and I will start at the same time, and Yu Zhengyi will be the substitute. I require that we must lead in the first half. Can we do it?"
Long Xiaochuan was puzzled: "Only play half a game? What to do in the second half?"
"The second half has the same style of play as the second half. I will say during the halftime break, I will ask you now, can we achieve the half-time lead?"
"Try it."
"It's not about trying, it's about doing it!"
Long Xiaochuan looked at the hundreds of pairs of eager eyes around him and knew that he could never afford to lose this battle of revenge. He waved his arms fiercely and shouted: "Okay, we must do it, come on!"
The showdown between the Leizhai basketball team and Yucun finally kicked off.
