Chapter 65 List of 23 people
For this national football school echelon competition, Long Bisheng didn’t look forward to it like others. It’s not that he doesn’t value this competition, but because he thinks that with his own strength, there is probably no reason to be selected for the 23-man list. There are seven forwards in his class, and a maximum of five can be selected for five forwards in the 23-man list. Long Bisheng doesn’t think he can compete with others.

None of the students who have been able to persist until now are ordinary people. The other six forwards each have their own characteristics, some are fast, some have excellent skills, some have scoring ability, and some have excellent scoring ability.

So during this period of time, Long Bisheng still did what he was supposed to do, behaved as usual, he was calm during training and confrontation, and he didn’t seem particularly excited, but he usually worked hard, so although he was as usual these days, he didn’t seem to blink when he was with other students—you know that even the laziest people around are working hard now.

Another recognized person who will not be included in the list of 23 people is Liu Lin, another strange person in dormitory [-]. After this month of training, basically everyone can see that Liu Lin's level is really not very good. He is also weak during training, but it is a bit strange that Ding Yu, who is usually very strict in training, doesn't care about him. People believe that, after all, the real executive of Yunjia Tianyu Club is the chairman Pei Wei, and all the others work for Pei Wei, and Pei Wei is an orphan, so it can be said that he has no relatives and no reason, and his wife Su Mei has no relatives named Liu. Besides, with Pei Wei's character, it is impossible to allow this kind of thing to happen.

So Liu Lin became a mysterious figure in the eyes of others. No one could guess why he was favored by Yunjia Tianyu Football School.

Liu Lin never explained this, but with his eloquence and communication skills.He is very popular in the class, and he has a good relationship with students in other grades, he is the one with the most friends.

Regarding the fact that it is very likely that they will not be able to go to BJ, the two students who are generally considered to be unsuccessful do not seem to have much opinion. Liu Lin still wanders in every dormitory every day—except for the girls’ dormitory, and Long Bisheng still trains until dark every day, which is no different from usual.

In this regard, except for the other six people in dormitory [-], all the other students thought that although these two guys played football at the lowest level, their self-knowledge was the most important thing.

"I heard that you are going to compete in BJ?"

There were only three days left before going to BJ's. This day in the classroom, during the recess, Long Bisheng was about to take a nap during the recess to build up his energy for training in an hour later, when he heard Ning Xi asking beside him.

Long Bisheng raised his head in a daze, turned around and asked, "Are you asking me?"

"Don't ask who you're asking, pighead." Ning Xi said angrily, this guy can really sleep, every time during recess, he sleeps on the table, the more he behaves like this, the more Ning Xi gets a little annoyed—couldn't this stupid big man not even want to say a few words to himself?It was precisely because of this thought that Ning Xi asked this question that everyone in the school knew when Long Bisheng was going to sleep again.

Only then did Long Bisheng realize that he and Ning Xi were the only ones left in the classroom, and everyone else took advantage of the break to get out of the classroom to get some air.

"Hehe." Long Bisheng scratched his head in embarrassment: "Yes, there are 23 people in our class, but I guess I can't. The other forwards are better than me."

"How can you give up before the result comes out? Don't you think you will definitely not be selected for the list?" Ning Xi said bitterly: "Be confident, comrade, have you seen "Slam Dunk"? There is a saying in it, 'Don't give up until the end. If you give up, the game will end early.' Isn't it the same for you? If you give up early, then you have no chance of being on the list at all!"

"Hey, what you said is very reasonable. You can't give up." Long Bisheng asked curiously: "What is "Slam Dunk"? Is it a novel? Is it good?"

"It's a manga! It's so good." Ning Xi said.

"Comics? I'm not interested. I only like reading novels. Besides, Slam Dunk is about basketball, right? I don't like basketball." Long Bisheng said.

"...Forget it, I've convinced you." Ning Xi looked at Long Bisheng speechlessly, she was about to give up this conversation - it seemed that this conversation couldn't go on, there was no common language at all!
"Thank you, thank you for your encouragement, I will never give up, even if I can't make it to the 23-man roster this time, I will try to make it next year!" Long Bisheng looked at Ning Xi and said sincerely, "I also wish you can become a professional player and participate in the Women's Super League!"

Looking at Long Bisheng's sincere face, Ning Xi felt happy again for some reason. She smiled and said, "That's right, we both have to work hard...to be at the same table. Remember to thank me when you become a big star in the future."

"Hehe..." Long Bisheng didn't know how to answer, he rubbed his head and just smiled.

********************************************
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

September 27th is a day that the students in the third grade of Yunjia Tianyu Football School have been looking forward to for a long time, because today, the coaches will announce the list of 23 players from each grade who will go to BJ to participate in the competition.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that the training time for the three grades of the junior high school was scheduled at the same time this afternoon, and the announcement of the roster was almost at the same time.

"Okay, I think everyone should know that five days later, that is, on October 24, the echelon competition of 23 national football schools organized by the Football Association will start in BJ. In order to avoid the peak tourist period during Golden Week, we will leave for BJ tomorrow... Next, I will announce the list of [-] players that will be submitted to the organizing committee of the event."

After Ding Yu said this, everyone immediately pricked up their ears, even Long Bisheng was no exception. Only Liu Lin stood in the middle of the crowd with a smile on his face, and didn't feel a little nervous about it.

"Three goalkeepers, Wu Bufan, Cui Dayong, and Li Tao." Ding Yu didn't take any notebook or anything, just reported his name directly: "Everyone who clicks on the name will stand up."

Wu Bufan walked out first. He is the well-deserved No. [-] goalkeeper in this grade. In this competition, he is probably the one who is least worried about being eliminated.

Seeing that three goalkeepers had been selected, the others knew in their hearts that the competition for other positions might be more intense now.

"Defender Li Jie, Liu Jun, Zhao Yi..." Ding Yu called their names one by one, and the students whose names were called also walked out of the ranks one by one, and the dense square formation began to become sparse.

"Midfielder Hu Gandang, Dai Guangming, Zhang Yi, surrounding..."

When the forwards were mentioned, the seven forwards on the court began to get nervous. They clearly heard that Ding Yu had already called out nineteen names. That is to say, there were only four forwards who could go to BJ this time, and nearly half of them had to be eliminated!
"The last is the forward." Ding Yu glanced at Long Bisheng. Although Long Bisheng still looked calm, he couldn't help standing up straighter.

Ding Yu smiled in his heart: "Zhong Tao, Li Yajun, Zhang Yi... the last one, the dragon will win!"

Long Bisheng opened his mouth wide. Although he had expectations, he never thought that he would really be on the list!The three forwards who didn't make the list looked at Long Bisheng in disbelief, and couldn't believe why they couldn't compete with this forward with the roughest skills in the school!
"There's nothing wrong with this." Liu Lin, who was also not included in the list, said lightly: "Among the seven forwards in our class, none of them is tall, strong and good at heading the ball. Even if it is to enrich tactical play, Long Bisheng will definitely be selected! This is his characteristic, which no coach can ignore!"

"Okay, why are you in a daze, don't you want to go to BJ?" Seeing Long Bisheng still standing in a daze among the crowd, Ding Yu said dissatisfiedly.

Long Bisheng let out an "oh" and quickly walked out of the crowd. The three forwards who were not on the list were so ashamed that they wanted to commit suicide at this moment. He had never competed with such a person!

However, Long Bisheng was in a daze not for anything else, but because he was a little sad when he heard Liu Lin's words.

It turns out that I was able to be selected because of my body... When will I be selected based on my real strength!

"Don't be discouraged if you are not selected. Being able to enter the junior high school already shows your strength. Not being selected is just because you are still lacking in one aspect." Ding Yu put on a smile on his face: "Another piece of good news for everyone - the club has decided that all members of the three grades of the junior high school can go to BJ this time, and players who are not selected can also feel the atmosphere of the game on the spot!"

A moment later, huge cheers sounded on the training ground, and the same cheers sounded on the two training grounds next door!
