King of shooting guards

Chapter 141
Liu Qinhao and Liu Kai stared at Li Changgeng with both hands. He knew that Hongcheng would definitely shoot a three-pointer at this time, so he pushed forward very much. He would rather let Li Changgeng get a two-pointer after a breakthrough than give Li Changgeng a chance to shoot a three-pointer.It's just a two-pointer, and it's not a big threat to the Mie Shen team.

"This is to let me break through and not let me shoot a three-pointer." Li Changgeng understood in his heart, the ball quickly shuttled under his crotch, and his shoulders shook accordingly, making it difficult for Liu Qinhao to judge which way he would go.

"To the left, or to the right?" Liu Qinhao murmured in his mind. Before he could make a decision, he saw Li Changgeng suddenly speed up and break through to the left. He was startled, "It's to the left." If possible, he would try to prevent Li Changgeng from breaking through, so he subconsciously took a step back, and at the same time shifted his center of gravity to the right to block Li Changgeng's breakthrough route.

But at this moment, Li Changgeng suddenly turned around with his right foot as the center, retracted his left foot, stepped outside the three-point line, and at the same time retracted the ball, retracted his right foot, the whole movement was smooth and smooth, like Juggling is average, and when the action is finished, the feet just fall outside the three-point line.

"Damn it!" Liu Qinhao's heart skipped a beat, and he flew towards Li Changgeng.

It's a pity that Li Changgeng's attack speed was too fast, even if Liu Qinhao reacted quickly, he could only act as if, when he pounced, Li Changgeng had already made a move.

"Don't enter!" The audience supporting Mie Shen team shouted in their hearts.

"Must go in!" Countless fans who supported Hongcheng were praying.

At this moment, everyone was staring at the basketball without blinking, as if they had forgotten to breathe, they were all concentrating, and their hearts were extremely nervous.

"Shh!"

A crisp sound sounded, and the basketball pierced through the net like a precision-guided missile, and the white net flew up like a white wave.

"Yeah!" Li Changgeng jumped up and shook his fist hard.

On the sidelines, Tao Ran did the same. Mengyao jumped up happily like a little girl, and a group of substitute players excitedly waved towels and cheered for the ball.

The Mie Shen team fell silent collectively, and even the thousands of spectators in the auditorium who supported the Mie Shen team lost their voices collectively.

At 94:91, Hongcheng was behind by 3 points, and there were 28 seconds left before the end of the game, which meant that Hongcheng still had a chance.

Song Zhezong called a timeout, and several players under his opponent said: "There are 28 seconds left, the ball is in our hands, but Hongcheng still has one chance to attack, so we must score this goal, as long as this goal is scored we I'll win." After speaking, he thought for a while, and then said: "If you can't score, I mean just in case. Then you must quickly return to defense, and you must not give the opponent a three-point chance. Remember, I would rather let The opponent can't give up three points even if they get two points."

"Yes." Several people nodded.

In case of not scoring and giving Hongcheng the ball, even if Hongcheng scores two points and is still behind by one point, it is still a loss.But if Hong Cheng scores a three-pointer, the game will be dragged into overtime, when the outcome is uncertain.

On Hongcheng's side, Tao Ran didn't make any arrangements, but once again told a few people that the ball must be defended, definitely!
"beep"

The whistle blew and the players returned to the field.

The Mie Shen team attacked, and Liu Qinhui wandered outside the three-point line with the ball, wasting time. He waited until there were 7 seconds left in the attack time before he started attacking. Breakthrough, fast.

"Don't think about it!" Sima Shenji yelled in his heart, moved to the right, and finally blocked Liu Qinhui, and Liu Qinhui didn't pass him by.

Liu Qinhui couldn't pass Sima Shenji, but he didn't care, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stopped suddenly, as if he was about to jump up.Sima Shenji's heart skipped a beat, and he jumped up to block the shot, but he knew it was bad as soon as he jumped up, because Liu Qinhui didn't jump at all, it was a shooting fake.

Liu Qinhui didn't jump up until Sima Shenji landed, and there was a time lag. At this time, Sima Shenji didn't dare to foul, so he could only watch Liu Qinhui make a move.

"Shh!"

The goal was scored, and the score became 96:91, with Hongcheng trailing by 5 points.

Everyone looked at the timer. There were 4 seconds left before the end of the game, which was only enough for Hongcheng to make one offense, even if he made a three-pointer, it would not help.

Tao Ran shook his head, his expression was gloomy, there was no timeout on their side, and in 4 seconds, they could only play one attack after serving the backcourt.If Liu Qinhui missed the goal just now, he still had a chance to drag the game into overtime with a three-pointer, but if that goal was scored, it meant that Hongcheng had no chance.

Serving from the backcourt, the Mie Shen team pressed hard. Li Changgeng made a change of direction and passed Liu Qinhao.

"Shh!"

The goal was scored, and the whistle sounded for the end of the game. The score was fixed at 96:94, and Hongcheng still lost in the end.

Everyone in Hongcheng embraced the Mie Shen team members, and then left the field. Thousands of spectators stood up and cheered Mie Shen team.

Seeing Hongcheng players enter the player tunnel, the Mie Shen team players felt a little complicated.Song Zhezong watched Hongcheng's people leave all the time, and he let out a sigh of relief when everyone entered the player tunnel, and sighed: "What a Hongcheng, next time we meet, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to win."

The group stage is a round-robin match. Taking Group A of the Southern Region as an example, there are five championship teams in Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, Zhejiang, and Chongqing. Each team will play four games. No points are counted in a game, and the final ranking is based on points, and the top two have the right to qualify for the group.

Now that Hongcheng has lost one game, it is not impossible to qualify. As long as they win all the next three games, they still have a great hope of qualifying.

However, the game against the Mie Shen team was their first game in the national divisional competition. Losing this game was not a big blow to them.

On the car back to Guangxi from Zhejiang, everyone in Hongcheng was in a low mood, and the car was surprisingly quiet.

Glancing at the others, Mengyao saw that everyone was either closing their eyes or staring out of the window in a daze. Then Mengyao looked at Li Changgeng. Seeing that Li Changgeng kept his head down, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, so she gently pulled Li Changgeng and whispered. He comforted: "Don't be sad anymore, it's just a game, let's play hard, I believe we will be able to get the right to qualify for the group."

"Hehe." Li Changgeng raised his head and smiled at Mengyao, but that smile had a bitter taste no matter how you looked at it.

Mengyao sighed in her heart. She was actually very sad. Originally, everyone expected to perform well in the national division competition, go all the way to the national challenge competition, and aim for the national championship.But who would have thought that losing the first match would be hard for anyone to accept, how could they be in a good mood?
"Li Changgeng." Mengyao thought for a while and said, "This time it's because we are inexperienced, not because we are not strong enough, you don't have to do this."

"Yeah, we are inexperienced, and it's our first time to participate in the national division competition." Li Changgeng nodded, and Mengyao couldn't help being overjoyed, but she heard Li Changgeng say: "But no matter what the reason is, if we lose, we lose." He looked Looking at Mengyao, "Thank you for comforting me, but I really can't feel relieved."

Mengyao was stunned, looked at Li Changgeng for a while, but finally said nothing.

The journey was surprisingly quiet, and everyone was still in the throes of losing the game, so it was still the same when the car arrived at the city.

The car drove by, and the members of the city team got off one after another. Although it was morning, they could take a day off today and go to school tomorrow.

"I'm here." When he arrived at the place, Li Changgeng greeted everyone, got off the car with his backpack on his back, and waved to everyone.

As the car drove away, Li Changgeng turned around, but was taken aback for a moment.

I don't know when there was an extra person behind him, wearing a long white dress, with hair casually draped over his shoulders, and a pair of big eyes staring at him, causing Li Changgeng's heart to suddenly miss half a beat, and it took him a while to regain his senses Come, exclaimed in surprise: "Selena."

Selena's eyes were soft, she took a step forward, and suddenly hugged Li Changgeng, feeling Li Changgeng's body stiffen suddenly, she said softly: "I watched the game between you and the Mie Shen team."

Li Changgeng was shocked, he gently embraced Selena, smelled the good smell on her body, and moved, "Thank you for giving me a hug. I was very uncomfortable at first, but now I feel much better."

"That's good." Selina said, using both hands to break free from Li Changgeng's embrace. Seeing Li Changgeng's face full of reluctance and loss, she blushed and said coquettishly: "I can't hug anymore right now." , this is on the side of the road, it's not good for people to come and go."

Hearing what she said, Li Changgeng finally came to his senses, and said with a shy face, "Okay, stop hugging, and wait until we find a place with fewer people."

"Okay." Selina nodded.

Unexpectedly, Selena was so straightforward and nodded seriously. Li Changgeng was a little dazed. Looking into Selena's eyes, he suddenly understood, and his heart suddenly felt warm: "Selena, thank you. Don't worry, I have already It's okay, it's just a loss, it's just a win next time."

"Yeah." Selena nodded and smiled happily. It was enough that the person she liked could understand her painstaking efforts.

Seeing Selena, Li Changgeng was not in a hurry to go home. The two found a park and took a walk in the park.

While walking and chatting, Selena also resolutely didn't mention Hongcheng's game against the Mie Shen team this time, and only said that she was happy and very understanding.

After walking for a while, Li Changgeng thought of a question and asked, "By the way, Selena, why did you come here, and your brother didn't tell me?"

Selena grinned, stuck out her tongue and said, "He! That's all."

"Ah!" Li Changgeng was taken aback, he never thought that such a well-behaved girl as Selena would not listen to the people at home.

Li Changgeng glanced at the time, saw that it was getting late, and said, "Selena, let's go, let's go have dinner, and then send you back to school."

"Yeah." Selina nodded.

For the convenience of Selena, Li Changgeng simply sent Selena outside, and then found a small restaurant outside for dinner.

A meal is dilly-dallying, reluctant to give up again and again.

It took more than an hour to finish eating. Seeing that it was almost time for the afternoon class, the two of them walked out of the restaurant and went outside.

As they approached the Yellow River, Selena hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth for the last time, pulled Li Changgeng up and ran behind a flower stand, and said with a blushing face, "Hold me."

"Huh?" Li Changgeng was dumbfounded.

Selena glared at him in embarrassment, gritted her teeth and said, "There's no one here right now."

"Oh, Selena didn't lie to me before, you can't hug if there are too many people, as long as there are few people." Li Changgeng was secretly happy, and gently hugged Selena, feeling the last bit of depression in his heart that he couldn't let go of because of losing the game. It was finally swept away and smiled happily.

After separating from Selena, he asked Selena to comfort Sima Shenji after returning home, and told Sima Shenji not to take responsibility for this defeat on himself, so Li Changgeng went home by car.

When he got home, Li Changgeng was surprised again, "Uncle, aunt, why are you all here, don't you have to go to work?" To Li Changgeng's surprise, it was three o'clock in the afternoon and it was not Sunday, so why were all of your uncles and aunts at home? Can't we all take a collective vacation today?
"You brat, why did you come back at this time, the food is cold." Auntie cursed with a smile.

Only then did Li Changgeng see that there was a table of dishes on the table, all of which were his favorites, and seeing the gentle smiles on the faces of the old uncle and aunt, he suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, Have you guys watched the game too? I’m fine, isn’t it just a game, winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs, the next time you win it, it’s all about it.”

"Yes." Aunt continued.

"Well, we must have this kind of spirit." The uncle also laughed, and since the son was relieved, they were relieved.

Hongcheng lost the first game of the group stage to Mie Shen, which made everyone in Hongcheng feel very regretful.

The next day when Li Changgeng went to school, he thought he would be blamed by his classmates, but to his surprise, although the students in Hongcheng felt sorry for losing the game, they did not blame him at all. Chang Geng nodded at him in a friendly manner, and some of those who knew him would give him a few words of comfort.

This made Li Changgeng's heart warm.

In the class, the classmates also comforted Li Changgeng one after another, and Li Changgeng was touched again, saying that this is the collective, it is really heart-warming.

When the class started, the master of the old class unexpectedly asked Li Changgeng to go out alone to comfort him, and encouraged him to continue to work hard and strive to win the next time. He also said that the master had notified the whole school and told everyone the reason for this time Losing is just a lack of experience, tell him not to think too much, let go of the burden, and strive to win back next time.

Only now did Li Changgeng finally understand that the whole school was like this because of the notice from the principal, and he silently gave the principal a thumbs up in his heart.

In the afternoon, Li Changgeng changed his jersey early and came to the basketball court.

The others hadn't arrived yet, only Tao Ran came surprisingly early today, which surprised Li Changgeng, and even stepped forward to say hello: "Coach, you came so early?"

"Yeah." Tao Ran nodded, looked Li Changgeng up and down, saw that Li Changgeng didn't look decadent at all, felt relieved again, and sighed: "It seems that you have let go of the loss of the game, that's good. But The others may not be relieved as quickly as you, and I have to find a way to enlighten them later. The victory or defeat of a game is nothing, the key is not to be decadent, and not to affect the next game."

"Coach, you are worried." Li Changgeng said repeatedly, thinking secretly in his heart that he would also help enlighten his teammates later.

After a while, Sima Shenji came.

Seeing Sima Shenji, Tao Ran was ready to speak, and he had already prepared the words of enlightenment.

But before he could speak, Sima Shenji ran over in three steps at a time, grabbed Tao Ran's hand, and said in a comforting tone: "Coach, don't worry, I won't wallow in failure, Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs, don't worry, we will definitely win next time. But coach, you must pay attention to your health, don't worry about this incident, take care of yourself!"

"This..." Tao Ran opened his mouth.

Before he could say anything, Sima Shenji patted his chest and said, "Coach, don't say anything, I know, I will definitely train well." After he finished speaking, he nodded at Li Changgeng, and then looked after himself Put down the bag, walk onto the field alone, and start training.

Here, Tao Ran felt baffled. Originally, he was going to enlighten Sima Shenji, but how did Sima Shenji turn to enlighten him?
Tao Ran looked at Li Changgeng with doubts in his eyes. Li Changgeng spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "Don't look at me, I'm also confused."

After a while, Lu Feng also came.

This time Tao Ran was not in a hurry to speak. Sure enough, seeing Lu Feng, who had a playful smile in the past, looked serious and looked at Tao Ran with concern, and said, "Coach, it's great to see that you're fine. We didn’t play well in the game, and we blamed us if we lost, so don’t think about that anymore. I promise, we won’t lose the chain next time in an away game.”

Tao Ran looked at Li Changgeng, and the two looked at each other in dismay, which song is this singing?

Taking a look at Lu Feng and Sima Shenji who were training, Tao Ran thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, let's wait a little longer and see how other people react."

"En." Li Changgeng nodded, remembering what Lu Feng said just now, he couldn't help asking Tao Ran, "Coach, are you in good health?"

"What do you think is wrong with me? Are you cursing me sincerely?" Tao Ran glared at him, and smiled wryly, "What's going on?"

While talking, Amu and Nong Guang also came, Li Changgeng and Tao Ran didn't speak, just looked at them.

Sure enough, both Amu and Nong Guang looked at Tao Ran with concern. Nong Guang's eyes were still a little red, and he choked up and said, "Coach, don't worry, we have learned from the pain and recovered from the blow of failure. You must take care of yourself and don't leave us behind."

"That's right." Amu also helped out, and took out a beautifully packaged box from his backpack, held it in front of Tao Ran, and said, "Coach, this is a spirulina tablet. My aunt bought it for my uncle. It is said that it is good for you." Blood pressure lowering works, this is my tribute to you, don't be polite."

"." Li Changgeng suppressed a smile, blushing.

Tao Ran is so angry, I won't say curses one by one, this kid actually gave me medicine?Are you calling me sick?
Seeing that the coach's face became more and more ugly, and his eyes became more and more fierce, Amu shrank his neck, thinking that the coach was still angry about losing the game, and he should not offend the old man, so he threw the spirulina into Tao Ran's hand. Se, pull up Nong Kwang and run away.

Even several people were like this, although Tao Ran was puzzled, he simply stopped asking and waited to see what the others were like.

After a while, Aaron, Nong Guang, Luo Tian, ​​Long Xiaotian, Sima Shenji
Members of the city team came one after another, without exception, everyone was full of concern, and repeatedly told Tao Ran to take care of his body, and ensure that he must train well, and he will definitely win the next group match, and will never do it again. off the chain.

When everyone arrived, Tao Ran was still at a loss. Looking at the spirulina and ecological tea given by the players, he smiled helplessly: "Am I really sick?"

"This." Li Changgeng rubbed his nose, thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's a bad thing, at least you don't need to enlighten them one by one."

Hearing Li Changgeng's words, Tao Ran also couldn't laugh or cry. He had prepared some words of enlightenment, but now he can't use them all, which made him feel suffocated.

What made Tao Ran feel the most depressed was that he didn't know what was going on until now?

At this moment, Mengyao came late, and saw that everyone else was training, only Li Changgeng and Tao Ran were standing together, Tao Ran still had a constipated expression on his face, holding a bunch of things in his hands, it was not right to let them go. , It’s not like not to let it go, it seems very embarrassing.

Mengyao's eyes were sharp, and she saw at a glance that those things were spirulina, ecological tea and other supplements for lowering blood pressure, and she immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Coach, it seems that those guys really fell into the trap, but they still have intentions." , and sent you so many things."

As soon as Tao Ran heard it, he understood, put on a haughty face, acted like an elder, and reprimanded in a low voice: "You did it, didn't you? Tell me the truth."

"Coach." Seeing Tao Ran's stern face, Mengyao didn't care that Li Changgeng was still on the side, and pulled Tao Ran's arm and began to act coquettishly, "I'm doing this for the team's good. I watched the players in the car yesterday. All of you are devastated, I just thought it would be impossible to continue like this, the next game is two days away, what if it affects the next game?"

"So, I resorted to a little trick." Mengyao stuck out her tongue and said in a low voice, "I sent each of them a text message."

"What message?" Tao Ran asked, and Li Changgeng couldn't help being curious.

"Hee hee." Mengyao laughed, "I told them, coach, you saw them all frustrated and devoid of fighting spirit, and your heart became anxious, and you became sick from worry for a while, and you suffered from high blood pressure when you went back last night. Fortunately, nothing happened in the brain embolism, it is lucky."

Tao Ran's forehead was covered with black lines.

Li Changgeng finally realized that his phone ran out of battery when he got home yesterday, and he hadn't turned it on all the time. Otherwise, he might have seen Mengyao's text messages, so he wouldn't be ignorant.

"In the end, these guys were really scared, and they all wanted to call you. In the end, I told them that you need to rest and not let them call, and then told them that the best way to care about you is to cheer up quickly." Meng Yao Narrowing his eyes, he smiled slyly.
