zero second lore

Chapter 134 Mortals

Lu Yuan stood in front of the free throw line, took a deep breath, and used the most standard shooting posture to make a steady free throw.

Who would have known that this is a boy who didn't even know what basketball was two months ago, but now he can score 15 points in a row in the second half of a game!
Although this is only a county-level game, in Licheng, a small city with a low national basketball level, this performance is still wonderful.

His offensive methods are not rich, fast breaks with flying shoes, forced layups, and free throws. He uses the most primitive skills in basketball games, but achieves the most shocking effects.

The outer shell of all gorgeous and complex technologies on the basketball court is tightly wrapped with a core, which is to send the ball into the small hoop.

The most immediate talent that a person can display on the court is nothing more than being able to send the ball into that hoop, or prevent others from sending the ball into the hoop.

With this, everything else in the game can become secondary and there is no need to rush.

Standing on the court, Chen Huansheng watched Lu Yuan hit a free throw. He understood that Lu Yuan's performance on the court today was not just based on luck.

He looked at Lu Yuan standing in front of him, an ordinary and handsome boy, dumbfounded, there was nothing unusual in appearance.

But Chen Huansheng knows that his basketball talent is higher than his own, and his performance today is better than his own, and he is much stronger.

It turns out that there are really people in the world who can master the most basic basketball skills in two months, and then play themselves speechless in the game.

It turns out that a person's talent can be worth the hard work of others in a lifetime, this sentence is true.

After thinking this through, Chen Huansheng felt relieved.

The hatred and unyielding in my heart before disappeared in an instant.

When a person hates another person, most of the time he feels that the other person has gotten what he doesn't deserve. If he finds that what the other person got is justified, he will feel better.

Chen Huansheng is like this now. In the past, he never admitted that Lu Yuan had any talent in basketball. Even if he did, it was not high enough to replace him in two or three weeks.

Even if videos of Lu Yuan's dunks and game-winning shots were posted on the Internet, Chen Huansheng's evaluation of him was nothing more than "jumping man" and "luck".

Now, he admits, he is honest with himself, Lu Yuan is indeed more talented, and it is not at 01:30.

Maybe life is just so unfair.

Chen Huansheng sighed after Lu Yuan made a free throw, and then stepped forward to receive the pass from his teammate.

But so what, this can't stop my love for basketball and my persistent pursuit of victory.

I will continue to train hard and continue to compete.Until one day this field is no longer a place for ordinary people like me to gain a foothold.

When that day comes, I will never regret it. After all, I have worked hard and struggled for basketball, and I have no regrets since then.

With such belief, Chen Huansheng dribbled the ball across the half court and re-entered the offense.

........................

In the high school game, the opponent scored 15 points in a row, and the point difference was widened to 17 points, which means that the game basically ended early.

The foreign language school did not give up, especially Chen Huansheng was always fighting on the field.

And Lizhong is the same, whether it is Bai Ye, Wang Yourong, Lu Yuan or others, they are all earnestly completing the game from the beginning to the end.

This is the final of a county competition. No matter how big the score difference is, no matter whether the victory or defeat has been divided, both sides must do their best.

This is the greatest respect for the opponent.

After Lu Yuan scored 15 points in a row, he stopped his attack because he felt his legs were a little weak.

Without training for a week, the explosive power of the muscles is still there, but the endurance and durability are not enough.

Going to school tomorrow, my legs will definitely be sore.

However, Lu Yuan still played until the last moment of the game.

During the timeout, Gao Jing asked him if he wanted to come down and rest for a while, but Lu Yuan said no. He said that he hadn't played for a week, and he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to play for a while.

The joy of basketball is not only in hearing the sound of the basketball brushing the net when you hit a shot, but also in the process of offense and defense, cooperating with teammates, and experiencing the focus and sense of accomplishment when competing with opponents.

After not playing basketball for a week, Lu Yuan felt that the food cooked by his mother was not that delicious, and the water he drank was not that sweet.

Now go back to the team, go back to the stadium, and have a hearty battle with your opponent, and more importantly, you have won the victory quickly, and won the qualification to enter the prefecture-level city competition.

What could be happier than this?

In a defense near the end of the game, Lu Yuan made a successful steal, killed all the way through half the court, and then crossed to Bai Ye who was keeping up.

Bai Ye dunked lightly with both hands, scored his 20th point of the game, and locked the score at 77:60.

In the end, Lizhong defeated the dark horse Licheng Foreign Languages ​​by 17 points and regained the championship of the NHBA Licheng County Tournament!

When the final whistle sounded, Lu Yuan, who had been calm and serious throughout the game, finally returned to his nature.

He jumped and screamed around Wang Yourong, wishing he could climb on top of him and do somersaults.

The students and teachers in Lizhong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the audience burst into warm applause.

The students of the foreign language school also applauded the performance of Lizhong and Lu Yuan, and were also proud of their school.

From this moment on, Lizhong will not only represent Licheng Middle School, but the entire Licheng County.

From this moment on, all the honors that Lizhong has won in future competitions will be linked with Licheng.

Therefore, when the competition was over, at the awards ceremony, the leader of the Licheng Sports Bureau personally handed over the championship banner to Gao Jing, saying: "From today onwards, what you Lizhong have received is not only the honor of the champion, but also the honor of the champion." I have the responsibility to win glory for the entire Licheng basketball team! Please continue to work hard!"

Then, the champion's trophy was handed over to captain Zhang Fan, and everyone was also given a medal.

All the players in Lizhong stood on the podium with medals around their necks, and their smiles were brighter than ever before.

With a super performance of 31 points per game, Baiye was honored as the most valuable player in this county competition.

However, Bai Ye obviously didn't think much of such an honor, and when he took the trophy made of plexiglass, he was still expressionless.

And when the championship trophy was passed among the players, Lu Yuan took the trophy and couldn't help but kissed it lightly. It felt sweet, so it turned out that this is what it feels like to be a champion.

"Lu Yuan, I kissed the place you kissed just now." Zeng said suddenly.

Lu Yuan immediately threw the trophy to the next person, wiped his mouth vigorously, thinking, this champion is gone, let's try to win the next one!
........................

There were bumps and bumps off the court, but the smooth sailing on the court ended in this way.

Eight teams, three rounds of competition, no matter in terms of the number of matches or the quality of the opponents, the gold content of the Licheng County Tournament champion is very average.

Of course, this did not dilute the joy of Lizhong regaining the county championship. They returned to the locker room for a small celebration—Gao Jing sent everyone a bottle of Nutrition Express.

"Well, the county competition is over like this. The two months of hard work and preparation were not in vain. Fortunately, we played very well in every game. I can say that you are the best players ever. I am very proud, very proud, I am even more proud of you, proud of you. And in the past two months, the team has experienced many things, some people quit, some people were injured, some people returned, in short, we are still on the way forward! Hopefully in the days to come we can keep going until next summer!"

Gao Jing made a concluding speech on the county competition. Judging from the game process, the team won easily, which is enough to prove their outstanding talent and hard work in training.

But all this is just a new beginning.

Not long after Gao Jing finished speaking, Principal Zhu also came to the locker room, ready to say a few words to the team members to express his congratulations.

At this time Lu Yuan suddenly said: "Oh, my shoes belonged to someone else, I went to change them, don't leave."

After speaking, Lu Yuan stabbed and ran out of the locker room.

Li Yong on the side hurriedly said: "I still remember that, the game is over, I should go back and get punished."

Li Yong also slipped away.

"Principal, we have evening self-study in the evening of our third year of high school. Let's go to school to do our homework first. Let's go for a walk..."

Zhang Fan handed the trophy to Wang Yourong and fled with Zou Zhou.

Finally, Bai Ye said, "I'm leaving."

Now everyone who could walk left, and the rest of them stared blankly at the principal, not knowing how much Zhuwei had to say.

Zhu Yida looked at the rest of the people coldly, and said, "Who else wants to leave?"

Zeng Hongzhi raised his hand and said softly, "I want to pee..."

"Hold on!"

........................

Lu Yuan ran out of the arena and looked for Peng Tianzuo everywhere, only to see Jia Yumeng in the hall, holding his Kobe 11 in his hand.

"Hey Xiaomeng, just give me the shoes."

Lu Yuan stepped forward, took his Kobe 11 from Jia Yumeng, took off Peng Tianzuo's shoes, and put on his own shoes.

In an instant, I felt that my feet were much more comfortable. It wasn't that James' 15th generation was uncomfortable, but because of the smell inside. Lu Yuan felt that many of his foot cells should have been smoked to death.

As soon as Peng Tianzuo took off his shoes, Jia Yumeng pinched her nose and said in distaste: "Why are these shoes so smelly! I thought you played well in these shoes, so I didn't send them to you. How could you know they are so smelly. Take them Cover it with a plastic bag."

Jia Yumeng hurriedly covered the shoes with the plastic bag she carried with her, otherwise the siren in the hall would sound later.

Lu Yuan took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Peng Tianzuo, saying that he was waiting for him in the South Hall.

At the north gate of the gymnasium, Lin Sifan and An Yi left together.

Seeing the happy smile on Lin Sifan's face, An Yi thought that her school won the game today and his performance was so good, she must be very happy.

"Sister An Yi, why do you look unhappy? Did the school lose..."

Seeing An Yi's listless look, Lin Sifan thought that he was depressed because of his school's loss.

An Yi shook his head and smiled reluctantly, but when he looked up, he saw a tall and familiar figure standing at the door of the North Gate - it was Bai Ye.

As the most valuable player of this game, Baiye stood there and attracted the attention of many people. Some girls even took the initiative to take a photo with him. Baiye did not refuse or cooperate, standing still like a wax figure .

An Yi pushed Lin Sifan, pouted, and said, "Look."

Seeing that it was Bai Ye, Lin Sifan ran forward and said, "Congratulations, Bai Ye, you won the championship and won the Most Valuable Player. Where is Lu Yuan? Didn't he go with you?"

Bai Ye said: "Lu Yuan returned the sneakers, he borrowed them, and they are at the south gate."

Lin Sifan nodded, as if he had nothing to say, he looked back at An Yi, ready to leave.

An Yi came up from behind, a little surprised why the two of them just said such a few words.

When passing by Baiye, she still couldn't help but glanced back, only to see a small gray hamster hanging from the zipper of Baiye's sports bag.

That's what Bai Ye hung up to distinguish her bag from Lu Yuan's.

After coming out, An Yi hurriedly asked Lin Sifan, "Lin Sifan, can you show me your keychain?".

Lin Sifan took out the hamster keychain from his pocket, handed it to An Yi, and asked, "Well, what's wrong?"

An Yi asked, "Who gave you this?"

Seeing that Lin Sifan was a little embarrassed, An Yi said, "Oh, I guessed it all, tell me quickly."

Lin Sifan could only say, "It was sent by Lu Yuan."

As soon as Lu Yuan said these two words, An Yi suddenly felt his mood lighten up, and couldn't help taking a deep breath, as if he had been holding it underwater for a long time.

But she looked back at the north gate, and found that the white leaf had disappeared.

"Are you still going to Mr. Zeng's house to practice piano in the afternoon?"

"Well, let's not go...I want to rest."

"Then how about we go eat something delicious?"

"Okay, okay! I haven't rested for a long time on the weekend, what are we going to eat?"

........................

Lu Yuan waited at the south gate for a long time, but he didn't see Peng Tianzuo's people, but he waited for the foreign language school players who came out.

He saw Chen Huansheng, but not Shimada Sho.

Chen Huansheng also saw Lu Yuan, his expression settled for a moment, he walked up to Lu Yuan and said, "Congratulations."

Lu Yuan thought that Chen Huansheng would ignore him, but he didn't expect him to come over to congratulate him, so he grinned, stretched out his hand and said, "I hope there will be opportunities to compete in the future."

Chen Huansheng took Lu Yuan's hand and squeezed it hard.

Suddenly he frowned and asked, "Why is there a smell?"

When Lu Yuan heard this, he quickly tied the mouth of the plastic bag tightly, and said embarrassedly: "The borrowed shoes are a bit smelly, a bit smelly."

"The last time you played against me, there was something wrong with your shoes, right?" Chen Huansheng asked.

Lu Yuan was taken aback when he heard this, thinking that apart from Li Yong and Sun Youyou, only Bai Ye, Wang Yourong, Jia Yumeng, and himself knew about his shoes being scratched, and Chen Huansheng seemed to know too.

Seeing that Lu Yuan was in a daze, Chen Huansheng said, "I just guessed, and you felt that something was wrong in that one-on-one match."

Lu Yuan nodded and said nothing more.

The two said goodbye at this point. When they parted, Chen Huansheng turned his head and said: "You are now a basketball star in Lizhong, but the more you stand in a conspicuous place, the easier it is to be jealous. You have to be careful and work harder."

After speaking, Chen Huansheng waved to Lu Yuan and left the gymnasium.

Lu Yuan looked at the back of Chen Huansheng leaving, and felt that he had something to say but didn't finish, but Chen Huansheng is actually quite a good person.

........................

Wang Yourong, Zhang Run, Ren Zhaoliang, and Zeng Hongzhi were still in the locker room listening to Principal Zhu's concluding remarks.

The pig's tail is a pig's tail, and the main players are all gone, so he can still make a long speech while staring at the four substitutes.

He talked about the invention of basketball by Dr. Naismith in 1891, Gan Guoyang was injured and reimbursed in the finals in 1986, and then he talked about how his drink was picked up by his grandmother when he was playing basketball in college.

The content is through ancient and modern times, combining Chinese and Western, which made the four people feel dizzy and drowsy.

Everyone was thinking that if the headmaster was talking like this when he was in a basketball game, either he would kill others, or they would beat him to death.

"Ahem, the last point." The principal finally said the last point, "Our team still has a lot of gaps in the guard position, especially the point guard position. We know that the point guard It is very important, why is it important? The point guard is the brain. How can a person or a team do without a brain? Can you be a brain like Lu Yuan? Of course not, he is so stupid..."

The principal said that he did not forget to blackmail Lu Yuan, and then chattered for a long time.

In fact, it can be summed up in one sentence. In the future, the team will strengthen the position of point guard. As for how to strengthen it, Principal Zhu will find a way.

After saying this, Principal Zhu's long self-presentation finally came to an end.

Gao Jing disappeared long ago with the pennant. Principal Zhu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well, on Monday night, I will give you extra meals in the cafeteria. Remember to come for dinner then!"

After finishing speaking, the principal left the locker room, and the remaining four poor guys looked at each other in blank dismay.

Originally, I thought I could have a celebration dinner after listening to it, but it turned out to be an extra meal in the cafeteria on Monday.

The principal is such a stingy old man!

Wang Yourong packed his sports bag, ready to leave and go back to the school dormitory.

Today I had a great game and won the championship. Wang Yourong felt like he was dreaming.

Lu Yuan is back, Bai Ye's injury is fine, and he still scored on the court!

Thinking back to his dunks, blocks, and rebounds on the court, the fierce confrontation and the tense court atmosphere, Wang Yourong suddenly felt a spasm in his stomach and wanted to vomit.

He hurried out of the locker room and ran into the toilet, retching in front of the sink, and didn't vomit anything, but he felt much better after vomiting like this.

Wang Yourong took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, ready to leave.But I heard someone crying in a certain compartment...

Wang Yourong was so frightened that his scalp exploded, his first reaction was that there was a female ghost in the toilet!

"Who is it!" Wang Yourong shouted in fright.

But thinking about it again, this is the men's toilet, so the female ghost probably wouldn't come here to cry.

Regardless of male or female ghosts, Wang Yourong was timid and didn't want to bother. As a result, the people inside seemed to hear the question, and opened the door of the compartment with a bang, and people came out.

Wang Yourong took a look, isn't this Shimada Sho from the foreign language school?
It turned out that he was hiding in the toilet and crying. Seeing that his eyes were still red and there was some snot under his nose, he should be crying very sadly.

When Shimada Xiang saw that it was Wang Yourong, his eyes widened with anger, he stared at Wang Yourong, clenched his fists, and clenched his teeth as if he wanted to eat people.

"Nangtuska! Kuso... (What do you want! Damn...)"

Shimada Sho said to Wang Yourong full of hostility, but he used Japanese, obviously he was a little emotional.

Wang Yourong couldn't understand what Shimada Sho was talking about, but seeing him crying was very sad. It must be because he was sad to lose the game.

So Wang Yourong took out a tissue from his pocket, handed it to Xiang Shimada, and said softly, "Here, wipe it off."

This is the first time that Shimada Xiang heard Wang Yourong speak, and Wang Yourong didn't say a word during the whole game.

Unexpectedly, his voice was soft and gentle, not as ferocious as his appearance. What Shimada Xiang didn't expect was that Wang Yourong didn't laugh at him, but handed him a tissue to wipe his tears.

Sho Shimada suddenly remembered that in Japan, when the team failed, they were ridiculed maliciously by opponents, teammates, and classmates.

"It's just tall", "The meaning of the existence of a school like Wuzuru is to make up numbers", "Stupid, in what age do people still play like this", "What a stupid pig!"

And all of this will be doubled to his opponents and his teammates after winning. He won not to make his teammates and fans happy, but to make himself happy.

The reason why he came to China is because no matter whether he wins or loses, no one will laugh at him anymore, because he can't understand most of their words.

When he saw Wang Yourong, he thought that the opponent would seize the opportunity to win the game and trample on him like he did on the court.

Facing Wang Yourong on the court, Sho Shimada felt insurmountable for the first time. This feeling does not lie in technique and body, but in spirit.

Shimada Sho would never have imagined that after Bai Ye was injured, Wang Yourong's heart was as hard as steel to defend him, and Shimada Sho hit his head with bumps.

But the game was over, and he became that soft big brother again.

Shimada Sho stared at the tissue for two seconds, then suddenly reached out and slapped it away, then bowed his head and quickly left the toilet.

Wang Yourong had no choice but to bend down to pick up the tissue, shook his head, wondering what this guy was thinking, then put the tissue back in his pocket, and walked out of the toilet.

In the corridor, Wang Yourong saw that Shimada Sho had walked quickly to the front, and suddenly he stopped, and Wang Yourong followed him, not knowing what this guy wanted to do.

Then, Sho Shimada turned around, bowed deeply to Wang Yourong, and said loudly, "Ariga Doha Seimas! Thank you!"

After finishing speaking, Shimada Sho wiped away the tears on his face, turned around and ran away, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Shimada Sho thinks that his basketball level is considered good among Asian high school students, but his teammates are too bad and the school is too bad; Shimada Sho thinks that if he goes to China to practice and level up, he will be able to return to Japan to fan those who laugh at him s face.

Now Shimada Sho knows that in a small Licheng, there are people he can't surpass, not to mention how many great young people there are in the vaster land of China.

He wants to go back to Japan, and one day he will come back and defeat this man.

And Wang Yourong looked at Shimada Xiang's disappearing back, and suddenly felt, maybe this person is not so bad.Perhaps the big men all have a strong and tall body and a fragile heart.
