Chapter 22 The Final Choice
The bell rang for the end of get out of class, but no one heard the conversation between Lu Yuan and the referee. The competition ended here, and all three selection items were completed.

The whole arena was full of discussions in an instant. Gao Jing, Wang Ke, and Mayor Wang also looked at each other on the judges' bench. What happened to Lu Yuan's last goal?

The score was finally fixed at 30:28. The players on both sides took off their training vests and lined up on the field, waiting for the judges to announce the results.

Bai Ye walked up to Lu Yuan, glared at him, Lu Yuan wanted to explain, but Bai Ye rushed to say: "Stop talking, I know, you idiot."

After speaking, Bai Ye stopped paying attention to Lu Yuan, and sighed in her heart, thinking that if one day Bai Ye died, it would be most likely because of Lu Yuan's anger.

Lu Yuan looked a little discouraged, just a moment ago, when he flew into the air, his heart once again had a surge of enthusiasm, and he had to smash the ball into the basket hard to dissipate.

But the incident of smashing the basket in the community last time suddenly flashed through Lu Yuan's mind. Lu Yuan hesitated for a while, and wanted to change it to a layup, but it was too late.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Yuan fell to the ground and did nothing, it was still a walk.

"Are you afraid that you won't be able to buckle in?"

"I don't think so. His head is about to hit his head. I guess I'm afraid of breaking his head."

"Fart, how can you jump so high."

"I think it's because I'm scared. It's a shame if I can't get it in."

"It's not even more embarrassing now!"

The classmates in the stands have already discussed it, and you can't tell the reason if you say something to me.Soon, Lu Yuan's giving up dunk this time will become another unsolved mystery of the basketball team together with his touch height.

The students were discussing why Lu Yuan didn't dunk the basketball, and several judges in the commentary were arguing over who should be given the three spots eligible for the basketball team.

The qualifications of Baiye and Wang Yourong are certain.

Needless to say, Bai Ye is outstanding, even if he does not participate in the test basketball team, he will be selected.

And Wang Yourong is outstanding in height, dribbling and shooting can be regarded as qualified, besides, he has practiced sports before and has a solid foundation, which will definitely help his basketball training.

The crux of the debate focused on whether the third spot should go to Lu Yuan or Chen Huansheng.

The head coach of the basketball team, Gao Jing, prefers to choose Lu Yuan.

She believes that Lu Yuan has shown great basketball talent and potential in the primary election and today's selection, and has a very strong learning ability, and his outstanding physical fitness is even more enviable.

However, Wang Ke, the dean of teaching, insisted on choosing Chen Huansheng, and his reasons were also sufficient.

Chen Huansheng has been practicing basketball since elementary school, and he is one of the best basketball players in Licheng in junior high school.

He was not selected for his special move in summer, but now he has a new opportunity, and he performed very well. He ranked first in the white team in five-on-five scoring, and was second only to Baiye in the game. There are every reason for him to join.

For a while, the two argued endlessly. Wang Ke said that Lu Yuan's basic skills were poor, and he had never played basketball before. Gao Jing said that Chen Huansheng had no potential, and his position conflicted with the rest of the team.

Both of them are notoriously short-tempered in the school. They refused to give in to each other, and the more noisy they became, the more fierce they became.

In the end, Gao Jing got anxious, slapped the table and stood up, pointed to Wang Ke's nose and said, "During the summer physical training meeting, I meant to choose Chen Huansheng, but you rejected him! Now you want to choose Chen Huansheng again!" What does he mean?"

Wang Ke was also anxious, and shouted with his glasses wide open, "That's two different things. There was a better choice at the time, and now he comes to participate, he is the best, so I will choose the best!"

"You fart!" Gao Jing opened her mouth and scolded, "You don't even look at who you picked for the basketball team before! Who knows what's tricky in it!"

Gao Jing's words seemed to hit Wang Ke's sore spot, his face flushed red like a braised lion's head.

Seeing that the conflict was about to escalate, Principal Zhu on the side hurriedly said: "Okay! I didn't see Mayor Wang here! What does it look like! It doesn't matter if you two have different opinions, Mayor Wang can still make the final decision! "

Only then did the two people die, and they looked at Mayor Wang at the same time.

Mayor Wang is over 70 years old this year and has retired for many years. When he was in office, he was in charge of cultural and sports work in the city, and he was very concerned about basketball work.

After retiring, as a basketball lover, I still care about the development of Licheng youth basketball career very much.

This time I heard that Licheng Middle School was going to conduct a basketball freshman selection. As an old alumnus of Licheng Middle School, Mayor Wang contacted Principal Zhu and participated in the selection as a judge.

Originally, Mayor Wang just wanted to take a look at the enthusiasm of Licheng Middle School's basketball sports, thinking that the school might be doing it for publicity, but he didn't expect that there were really good seedlings.

Seeing that Gao Jing and Wang Ke had stopped arguing, Mayor Wang cleared his throat and said, "Teachers, please be patient and don't be impatient. Your choices are reasonable. It can be seen that you are capable and discerning. Then I Well, let me also share my opinion. I think everyone has no objection to the first two places. That young man named Bai Ye is amazing. I heard from Xiao Zhu that he is from BJ. It doesn’t matter where he is from. , since you are willing to play in school, you should train him well and give him a chance to grow, so that he can also add luster to Licheng basketball in the future!"

According to the rules of the NHBA high school basketball league, high school players are completely determined by the school they attend, instead of going back to their place of residence like the college entrance examination.

Mayor Wang continued: "There is also a classmate named Wang Yourong who is extremely talented. People often say that height is the greatest talent. I think our Licheng Middle School has always lacked players with this talent, so we must also count him. One! I don’t think there is any doubt about these two. The key is the ownership of the third place. The two teachers have a lot of controversy. I have listened to the reasons of the two teachers. Although the words are fierce, they are all reasonable. I am selecting During the process, I also paid attention to these two students. They are both excellent. This is Chen Huansheng, who used to be the defender of Beishan Middle School. I have watched his games. His style of play is very tough and his foundation is good. He performed very well this time. The white team scored the most points! I don’t know why your school didn’t pick him in the selection of sports recruits.”

While speaking, Mayor Wang looked at Wang Ke, Wang Ke seemed a little guilty, avoided Mayor Wang's gaze and did not speak.

Mayor Wang continued: "As for Lu Yuan..."

Mayor Wang dragged his voice, it seemed difficult to give Lu Yuan an accurate evaluation.

"This Lu Yuan, as Coach Gao said, is really very talented, very good. I haven't seen any high school student who can jump higher than the high jumper! However, his foundation is indeed very weak, the most basic shooting It's a mess, although I got a few shots, but it looks like I'm trying to drive ducks to the shelves. In the game, I can see that I'm a layman, and the referee didn't call it for several fouls. It's like three seconds, blocking, grabbing Rebound foul, I guess I haven't played much, and I'm confused a lot of the time on the court. Like the last layup that can tie the score, I can't figure out what he was thinking!"

After Mayor Wang finished speaking, Gao Jing's heart sank, it was all Lu Yuan's fault!
She opened her mouth to explain, but Mayor Wang stretched out his hand to stop her, and said, "However, basketball is a team sport. I don't know if you have done technical statistics. I calculated it silently in my heart. In the second half, This Lu Yuan sent at least 5 assist passes. Although the pass is not beautiful, but he has this consciousness! If he is a basketball layman, but still has such a consciousness, it is very remarkable! Look again This Chen Huansheng scored a lot, but basically he worked hard alone, didn't pass the ball to his teammates, and didn't cooperate with the team. What's the use of scoring so many points? Why was he behind so much in the first 10 minutes? What happened in the last 10 minutes? Did you catch up?"

When Mayor Wang said this, Gao Jing finally felt relieved, while Wang Ke was hesitant to speak, but Mayor Wang did not give him a chance to speak and made a final concluding statement.

"So, this Chen Huansheng is indeed superior in strength, but from the perspective of long-term development, potential, and help to the team, I think this Lu Yuan is the most suitable person to be selected for the basketball team! I think, if you do well Cultivation will definitely win more honors for the school and Licheng!"

As soon as Mayor Wang finished speaking, the conclusion was reached. Lu Yuan relied on his talent and Bai Ye's help to become a member of the basketball team within two weeks!
When Principal Zhu announced the selection results and Lu Yuan's name was read the third time, the whole arena erupted into applause. Although everyone was impatient, Lu Yuan's excellence was obvious to all.

Faced with the applause from the entire arena, Lu Yuan felt a little overwhelmed, because his original intention of joining the team was to earn subsidies, but he didn't expect this event to be so grand and attract so many people's attention, so he felt embarrassed.

"Okay, before the selection is over, I would like to invite the three freshmen selected to the basketball team to express their thoughts and talk about their goals and dreams in basketball. Welcome!"

Principal Zhu, who will be coming, added such an impromptu at the end, which made the students who wanted to leave the arena stop again, wanting to hear what the three of them would say.

As he spoke, Principal Zhu first handed the microphone to Wang Yourong, who was the tallest.

Now it's hard for Brother Dana, let him play basketball or put shot put, but let him talk, and still talk in front of so many people, it's more uncomfortable than letting him die.

Wang Yourong, who took the microphone, blushed and couldn't utter a word. He didn't want so many people to hear his ridiculous voice.

At this time, Bai Ye on the side elbowed Wang Yourong, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, speak loudly, and your voice won't be so thin."

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Wang Yourong felt relieved, nodded slightly, picked up the microphone, felt relieved, and shouted loudly: "I want to win the championship!"

This roar startled everyone in the gymnasium. Principal Zhu, who was standing upright, thumped and sat back on the stool.

This is a sentence that Wang Yourong used to shout when he was in the shot put team. The shot put coach often forced him to shout. It was both encouragement and courage training.

Because the voice was too loud, everyone's ears were buzzing, and everyone really ignored Wang Yourong's shrill voice.

The flushed Wang Yourong hurriedly handed the microphone to Bai Ye, who took the microphone and said, "My goal is to lead Licheng Middle School to win the national championship."

Bai Ye's voice was not loud, and his tone was not impassioned. It was just a faint narration, but it seemed to have great strength. After a short silence in the arena, enthusiastic applause broke out!

This faint narrative is better than countless rhetoric, not because of its content, but because of the strength of the person who said it.

Even Mayor Wang gave a soft hello, thinking that this kid has ambition.

After speaking, Bai Ye handed the microphone to Lu Yuan, and at the same time gave Lu Yuan a hard look, obviously reminding him not to talk nonsense.

Lu Yuan took the microphone, seeing Bai Ye's expression of "If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll show you to death", he couldn't help swallowing.

In fact, Lu Yuan really wanted to say something, and that was to ask Principal Zhu if the school selection fee could be refunded to him if he joined the basketball team.

But looking at the current situation, both Wang Yourong and Bai Ye have said bold words, and it is really inappropriate for him to say this.

Lu Yuan frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Um...uh, I just started learning to play basketball two weeks ago, and my small goal is to advance to the basketball team. As for what it will be like to join the team, I haven't figured it out yet. But I think, as long as we keep our feet on the ground and take one step at a time, whether it is the city championship, the provincial championship, or the national championship, we will achieve it one by one. My speech is over, thank you."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he returned the microphone to Principal Zhu, and prepared to leave with Bai Ye and the others, and had to study by himself in the evening.

At this moment, applause rang out in the arena, who took the lead, more and more people applauded, and finally became one piece, resounding throughout the arena.
