King of shooting guards

Chapter 23 League Begins

In the middle of the night, Mengyao vaguely answered the ringing phone. As soon as the phone reached her ear, Coach Tao Ran's voice came from there.

"Xiaomeng, after so long, what do you think of Li Changgeng?"

"Haha, coach, you're still up so late." Mengyao yawned.

"Li Changgeng's scoring ability is very strong, and now his ball handling skills are becoming more and more proficient, which is the icing on the cake."

"Well! Let's talk about other things, such as shortcomings." Tao Ran didn't care about Mengyao's kind words.

"Shortcomings! He is very sticky to the ball, and of course he has the ability to create opportunities."

"Then do you think he can start?" Tao Ran stopped dawdling, and pointed out the theme directly.

On Mengyao's phone call, she was silent for a while. To be honest, she was quite partial to Li Changgeng's starting lineup. She was strong enough and threatening, and could cause great danger to the opponent. Just like the ok combination formed by Kobe and O'Neal and the combination of Gasol and Kobe back then, Kobe, who is full of deterrence, wanders around the outside, waiting for opportunities to launch attacks and contain the enemy, so that the inside can get space to attack.

But Li Changgeng has a fatal flaw, that is, he can't pass the ball.To be precise, the pass is not good, and the best pass time cannot be found.Of course, this was Mengyao's image of Li Changgeng before. She didn't know that Li Changgeng had already learned the skills of long and short hands, and possessed a certain ability to pass the ball.

She thought about it, and finally gave Coach Tao Ran a suggestion.

"The depth of the team's bench lineup is not very strong. It is better to let Li Changgeng play two games as a substitute first to share the pressure and observe."

"That's it! I won't bother you, good night."

"Good night."

Coach Tao Ran hung up the phone, looked at the starry sky outside the window, pressed the cigarette in his hand on the window sill, flicked his index finger, and the cigarette fell right next to the trash can downstairs.

"It's really like me back then!"

Coach Tao Ran murmured, then pulled back the window.
In November, it is already the season of autumn in China.So the weather is slowly getting cooler, and it is also the start time of most sports meetings. On November 11th, the Hongcheng Basketball League officially started.

8 teams, two divisions, all competing for the title in this November, for the championship, for the glory, there will be a brutal fight here, who will win the championship in the end, everyone is looking forward to it.

In order to cheer for the school team, Hongcheng Middle School specially gave a small holiday in the first game of Hongcheng Middle School, calling students to the gymnasium to cheer for them.The school team members did not dare to neglect, so they came to the gymnasium early for practice.

Half an hour before the start of the game, Qingxue Middle School, Hongcheng Middle School's opponent, also led their cheerleaders and audience to sit in their auditorium, cheering for Qingxue Middle School below.

"The atmosphere is still so warm!" As Yan Kuan, who has participated in the city league for three consecutive times, felt the warm and familiar atmosphere, he couldn't help saying.

"This year we must break last year's record and enter the semi-finals." Lu Feng was not joking, and he didn't ask too much. He just hoped that he could participate in the semi-finals this time and not be eliminated in the group stage every year. Hongcheng's top ten centers.

"I hope to win the championship." Li Changgeng said confidently, watching the Qingxue team members opposite him.

"I hope so, but we still have to be a little self-aware."

This year's lineup is not a bit worse than last year's. Last year, there were a few seniors sitting on the outside line, and they couldn't make it to the semi-finals.This year, there is not even a strong point on the outside line, and Lu Feng has no confidence.

"What are you talking about!" Coach Tao Ran stood up from the chair, biting the pen cap in his mouth, slurring his words.

"All stand up for me now, I'm going to arrange the order of playing." Tao Ran extended a gesture of assembly, and the team members moved closer to him.

"Center, number 8, Lu Feng."

"Power forward, number 1, Yan Kuan."

"Small forward, No. 2, Li Zheng."

"Shooting guard, No. 3, Tyumen."

"Point guard, No. 4, Liao Ming."

Li Zheng finally rushed back from the training camp at the last moment. This time, he was full of inexplicable confidence.

"This is our starting lineup, do you have any comments?"

After Tao Ran finished speaking, he took a look at Li Changgeng, and found that he was hesitant to speak, but he still didn't say anything.

He didn't care, and continued talking.

"The rotation lineup has No. 24 shooting guard Li Changgeng, No. 23 point guard Ma Ze, No. 7 center Yue Dongming, No. 11 power forward Wang Ling, and No. 16 small forward Jiang Chi."

"The starting five come here, and I'll arrange tactics for you, and the five who will rotate will go up to warm up first." Tao Ran waved to the five and ordered.

The five players in the rotation did not dare to neglect. Being selected by the coach means that they have the opportunity to play, so they walked into the court very obediently.

"Xiao Er, what do you mean by coach? I can't compete with the starters?" The strength of D+ is not weak anymore, even Sima Shenji, the ace player of Sanwang, is only C-, but after the last match , he probably reached a C level.

"I don't know, but I think it's good that you are on the bench now. You have the right to fire freely, how great." Xiaoer also doesn't want Li Changgeng to enter the starting list too early, although it is not good to say that soldiers who don't like to be generals Soldier, but a soldier who doesn't understand the tactical system, becoming a general will only destroy this army. Li Changgeng still needs to work with everyone on the bench, just like Kobe back then, who was on the bench for a year , Superstars are never achieved overnight.

"But I want to be the starter." Li Changgeng's voice was a little aggrieved. After training hard for so long, he just hoped that one day he could be the starter and return to the top.

"Don't worry! There will be more in the future. Your coach is here, let him make arrangements for you." Xiao Er comforted.

After Tao Ran in the distance gave instructions to the starters, he walked towards the five players in the rotation.He first came to Li Changgeng's side and patted him on the shoulder, saying.

"Isn't it very reconciled!"

"En!" Li Changgeng answered honestly, without lying.

"Hehe, you brat." Tao Ran greeted the other four while talking.

"You guys are all new blood in the first year of high school, and your strength is not very strong yet. If we want to beat the next opponent, you need to become stronger, so I arranged for you a super scorer in this team. I hope You can hone your skills well, if you play well, you will have a chance to start, otherwise get out of here."

Tao Ran's tone was extremely cold, this is his usual style, meaningless players also take up spots in the team, he does not leave waste here.

Then, he turned his head to look at Li Changgeng.

"Boy, if you want to start, then give full play to your strength and let me see how powerful you are in the official game." Coach Tao Ran encouraged Li Changgeng.

Li Changgeng was shocked. The coach still didn't trust him. He secretly swore in his heart that he must play a good game and prove to the coach with victory that he has the qualifications to take the starting position.

"Boy, I'm doing it for your own good." Coach Tao Ran looked at Li Changgeng's appearance and said in his heart.
