you are all star

Chapter 198 Pre-match preparation
Now, as Lavender and Neil grow older, the friendship between the two is not so pure, because I always feel that it will delay Neil's time and Neil's dream, so even if you wrong yourself, see Neil went farther and farther on the road of basketball, and felt that everything she did was worthwhile, because in her heart, Neil was too unfortunate since he was a child.

Since Neil didn't want to see her now, he found her in the gymnasium, and he just put a coat on her and left alone. However, before Neil left, he felt that the weather was too cold, so he put on a coat for her, and was afraid She woke up and didn't know how to leave the gymnasium, and she also left a warm reminder. These two very careful actions made Lavender feel warmer. Even though they can never go back now, this is very good. Running on your own life track, trying to make yourself better, and sticking to the things you like, isn't that good?
Therefore, Lavender didn't even return the clothes Neil put on her before he left, but she still washed them clean for him and put them away, and Neil didn't go to Lavender to get them back. , Neil still wanted to go to Lavender to get his coat back, but when he thought of the National Youth Basketball Competition a week later, he was in no mood to care about such trivial matters, because now Neil only wanted to win the National Youth Basketball Championship and take off a gold medal. Insert a pair of wings for the future, therefore, he is busy practicing ball whenever he has time.

Since Lavender was discovered by Neil that day, she endured herself and never went to the gym to watch Neil play.

Because the national youth basketball game is very important to Neil, and he doesn't want to miss every opportunity easily, so he practiced very hard.

The annual National Youth Basketball Tournament officially kicked off. On the first day of the game, there was a game for the high school group in Alexandria, and the opponent was actually the runner-up of last year's high school group. This made Neil a little afraid, but sooner or later he would meet Going to the New York high school group, this tough battle for Neil will be fought sooner or later. Therefore, there is nothing to be afraid of. The big deal is that there will be a more tacit understanding between him and his teammates, and his parents will be there. He has the courage and confidence to win. first game.

The game will be played in half an hour, and the New York City Sports Center Arena is packed with spectators and fans from all over the country. Since this is a national game, the scene is spectacular and the atmosphere is too warm, and the ears are always filled with loud voices This kind of active atmosphere inevitably made Neil and his teammates from small cities nervous.

Ryan Kawhi and Louis were both a little excited and a little nervous by this lively atmosphere. They firmly believed that Neil and the team members must also be very nervous, so they walked over and patted each of them on the shoulder, intending to appease their restlessness heart of.

Amidst the restlessness and noise, the two referees walked towards Ryan Kawhi and the other towards the coaches of the New York high school group, and said the same thing: "Coaches from all sides, in order to add more value to the sport of basketball Visibility, actively lead the players to warm up."

After the transfer was completed, the ball was handed over to Ryan Kawhi and the coaches of the New York high school group.

Ryan Kawhi took the ball, waved to Neil and the players, and took them on the court to warm up. As the players from both sides came on the court to warm up, there was a sudden commotion off the court, with cheers and screams one after another.

Neil and his teammates couldn't stop beating their hearts.

Ryan Kawhi passed the ball to Neal, Neal received the ball, walked to the unfamiliar teammate with the ball in his arms, took a deep breath, dribbled in disguise from left to right, dribbled to the free throw line, and threw the ball to the backboard, Seeing the ball hitting the board and just about to bounce back, he jumped up high and caught the bounced ball, which was to stage a smash and dunk.

After making up the dunk, he walked up to his teammates with the ball in his arms and patted them on the shoulder: "Brothers, show some confidence, don't be afraid, be confident, be brave, come on, we will definitely win them, because last year, we were still The city high school team beat them in this stadium, won the championship, and won the gold medal."

Neil and his teammates still know each other's strengths, because they have played against each other in the high school league, and their strengths are also equal. However, after this high school league, Neil successfully distanced himself from this group of teammates. After he left the derby, he successfully stood out, and his teammates knew that Neil was the strongest, and they must attack around him.

After they thought this way, and Neil happened to be the leader of the team at the moment, they felt that they should listen to Neil, so they nodded to Neil.

Neal then lined up ten teammates from various high schools in Alexandria and took turns dribbling past Neal's defense for layups.

After Neil hit the basket with gravity just now to make up the dunk, now that he is the leader of the team, he is not so nervous anymore. He started to organize the warm-up seriously and keep a close eye on every teammate.

On the basis of Neil, Ryan Kawhi also reminded the players to let each of them run actively in turn, ignore the cheers and screams of the audience, pass the ball to the running players after the breakthrough middle player.

After more than ten minutes of warm-up, Neil and his teammates are not so nervous, and their state is slowly recovering.

The game is about to start, the music on the radio suddenly stops, and then the broadcast announces: "Gentlemen and ladies, our game is about to start, if you have relatives and friends who are still running on the field, please call them, thank you for your cooperation !"

After Ryan Kawhi heard the announcement on the radio, he took the tactical board and walked up to Neil and the players, pointed at the tactical board, looked at the players and said, "When you play in a while, remember to always attack around Neil. , because the opponents are generally about [-] centimeters shorter than Neil, and the only one taller is their center. Skills, as well as the wildness on the court, can be played from the first position to the fifth position, but I don't want him to play singles, one against two or three, I hope that when he attracts, assists in defense and double-teams, he will distribute the ball to the Any one of you, you try to grasp every open opportunity as much as possible, for us now, there is no special tactical arrangement, in short, offense is the best defense."

"Yes, coach!"

"Actually, I believe in each of you in my heart, but the confidence and courage, as well as the wildness on the court, are given to myself."

Ryan Kawhi paused for a while, and continued: "Before Neil enters the court, I would like to emphasize one more point. I hope you play team basketball. Everyone dribbles as little as possible, and try to keep the basketball between teammates. Spin it up, so that it can drive the rhythm, and secondly, it can greatly reduce mistakes."

"Coach, we know!"

Ryan Kawhi glanced at his watch with his eyes. One minute before the start of the game, he stretched out his veiny hand and raised it in the air. As a player, he was familiar with the coach's action. It was a cheering gesture, so everyone raised their hands and shook hands with the coach: "Alexander, you must win, you must win...Come on, come on..."

New York high school coaches and players watched every move of Ryan Kawhi and the players all the time. When they saw Ryan Kawhi and the players raising their hands high and doing cheer gestures, implying that unity is strength, they also learned Ryan Kawhi.

As the referee's whistle sounded, Ryan Kawhi patted Neal on the shoulder with a kind smile, and then high-fived the starting players one by one.

Neil and his teammates nodded heavily, gritted their teeth, and walked onto the field amidst warm applause, cheers and screams. At this moment, Neil was not so nervous anymore. He nodded to his teammates, teammates He also nodded confidently at him, and seemed to be less nervous than before. He walked up to the midfield circle calmly and looked at his opponent at the same level. All because of victory.

Under the organization of the referee, the players from both sides stood up and competed for the ball with a jump ball. Neal and the opposing center Ottewa made a jump ball.

In the previous high school league, Neal had always played the center position. After dozens of games, he was already very skillful at jumping the ball, and easily jumped to the first wave of possession.

Ryan Kawhi was very happy for his players when he saw that they had successfully jumped to the first wave of ball possession. While applauding, he said to Louis: "Louise, fortunately, I just did warm-up exercises and preparations before the game. Otherwise, this group of The children are afraid that they are still nervous at the moment."

"Sir, give them a little time. Not only will they be nervous in such a big scene, but even I feel uncomfortable hearing bursts of screams and cheers."

Ryan Kawhi nodded slightly, smiled and pointed to the players who were organizing the offense while dribbling the ball.

Louis and Nuana also followed the direction Ryan Kawhi pointed, watching their son's every move with satisfied smiles on their faces.
