zero second lore

Chapter 476 Afterword
At the end of August, the national competition has been over for a few weeks, the weather is getting cooler, and it is time for schools at all levels to start school again.

In Guangzhou, where the Southern District Tournament was held in the summer, the temperature of basketball has not faded here, and local basketball competitions at all levels, large and small, are still going on in this hot land of basketball.

The basketball teams of various high schools in Guangzhou have already started training camps to prepare for the start of the new season. In two months, the No.20 NHBA competition will be held again. All added in.

In the gymnasium of the High School Attached to Guangshi Normal University, freshmen and old students are grouped together, and they are competing in groups. The squeaking sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor can be heard endlessly. They start training at [-]:[-] in the morning, take a short break at noon, and start practicing again in the afternoon. After four o'clock, some newcomers couldn't keep up, and their legs and feet slowed down.

"Beep!"

Head coach Ou Yefeng blew the whistle to let the players take a break. Some rookies sat down on the ground, and two of them even went to the bathroom to vomit.

"Take a 10-minute break and conduct tactical training before dinner."

As soon as Ou Yefeng finished speaking, several of them collapsed to the ground, howling. It turned out that it was not over yet, and there was still tactical training.This year, the High School Affiliated to Guangshi Normal University recruited excellent newcomers from Guangzhou, and they all performed well in the competitions in Guangzhou, but none of them expected that the high school Affiliated to Guangzhou Normal University would be so hard.

But some people didn't feel bitter. Fan Yize, who was wearing a red training vest, just took a rest on the sidelines, took a drink of water, went to the fitness area beside him, picked up dumbbells and started strength training.

Fan Yize seldom did strength training in the past, because he was born with amazing strength. Among the players in the same position, he has almost never encountered an opponent in terms of strength.But after the Southern District Competition, Fan Yize went to the school gym to start strength training, he wanted to make his body stronger and tougher.

The power of role models is powerful. The rookies who were sitting on the ground and lying on the ground got up one after another, and under the leadership of the old players, they had shooting training and one-on-one practice.

As the head coach, Ou Yefeng didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. During the whole training process, he didn't emphasize anything other than technical guidance. He knew that with Fan Yize and Wei Yuanjue, the atmosphere of the team would be fine. Yes, the loss in the South will only make them stronger.

"Ah Feng, how is this year's rookie?"

The person who spoke was Lai Weide. He walked into the gymnasium, wearing white leather shoes and a pink casual silk T-shirt, still coquettish.These newcomers were carefully selected by Lai Weide. This year's failure did not make Lai Weide lose the trust of the school. On the contrary, the school gave him more power to recruit soldiers.

Ou Yefeng said: "At present, it seems that we still need to hone, but with Xiao Fan here, we have confidence this year."

Lai Weide patted Ou Yefeng on the shoulder and said: "Confidence is always necessary, but it is useless to have confidence alone. Tomorrow, I will bring a new player over. It is the center we lack and I snatched it from Deming. You can lead the team with peace of mind, leave the other things to me, and I have confidence in you."

Ou Yefeng looked at Lai Weide and nodded. In the past year, Lai Weide, a basketball consultant, more or less overwhelmed him as a coach, depriving him of a lot of power.However, after losing the finals in the Southern District, Ou Yefeng encountered a crisis of dismissal. The school hoped that Lai Weide could return to take charge of the team, but Lai Weide rejected this proposal, and fully supported Ou Yefeng to continue to serve as the team's head coach, and continue to recruit for the team. To make up for the losses caused by the graduation of high school seniors, Ou Yefeng, who had previously had a estrangement from Lai Weide, let go of his prejudices and devoted himself more fully to preparing for the next season.

"Deming High School will no longer be a problem. The three-headed monster has disintegrated, and Yao Guangzhi has no cards in his hand. Next year, South China will be our world."

"What about Licheng?"

"Licheng? A miracle is a miracle because it won't happen a second time."

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

"Stand at attention! Look to the right! Look forward... look! Count!"

"1! 2! 3! 4..."

Changsha, Deming Middle School, freshmen in the first year of high school are undergoing military training before the start of school, and on the school's basketball court, a special team is receiving queue training from instructors, that is the Deming High School basketball team.

This is a tradition of the Deming basketball team. At the end of each summer vacation, all members of the basketball team have to participate in military training, so the members of the Deming basketball team have to participate in military training three times during high school, and the instructor who trained them is none other than Yao Guangzhi.

"Everyone has it, stand at attention! Standard military posture, half an hour!"

In Changsha at the end of August, the sun was still scorching. Standing on the unsheltered playground was like being in an oven. After a while, the sweat dripped down, and the skin was even tanned, but after ten minutes, no one moved. one time.

Yao Guangzhi is nearly fifty years old, but he also stood under the scorching sun with the players, and did not go to the shade of a tree to rest until someone under the shade waved towards Yao Guangzhi. Yao Guangzhi walked over and saw that it was An Runzhou .

An Runzhou had already graduated, and today he came to say goodbye to Yao Guangzhi.

"Xiao An, are you going to leave today?"

An Runzhou nodded and said, "Well, I'm going to Nanjing today."

Yao Guangzhi said: "When you arrive at school, you can't miss the culture class. Remember, you must graduate and get a diploma."

An Runzhou nodded again. He was admitted by Nanjing Sport University this year, and a professional team recruited him. After repeated weighing, An Runzhou chose to study in university and continue to play while studying.

"Tip and Xiao Xing, one is going to be a soldier, the other is going to be a professional. How should I say, everyone has his own way, and your way is still long. You must remember that you must walk the right way, and you must walk the right way. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time."

An Runzhou still nodded, at this time there were faint tears in his eyes, he suddenly bowed to Yao Guangzhi, and said, "I'm sorry, Coach Yao, I'm sorry!"

Yao Guangzhi shook his hand and said, "Hey, the past is over, don't think about it anymore, this is just a short period of your life, and you have done enough. On the basketball court, life and death, honor and disgrace, no one I'm sorry who. Okay, let's go back, remember to come back and have a look on National Day."

An Runzhou straightened up, said goodbye to Yao Guangzhi, turned and left.

And Yao Guangzhi returned to the front of the queue and shouted: "Take it easy, relax, we will practice walking forward in a while."

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

Nanjing, early in the morning, Lin Xin woke up from his sleep, rubbed his eyes, opened the window, and the fresh air rushed in, blowing away the wake-up breath, and he became more awake.

This is a disappointing but relaxing summer vacation. Another failure in the national competition is undoubtedly frustrating, but this summer vacation when the third year of high school enters the university is also relaxing, without the pressure of schoolwork and further education, He can focus more on what he likes, on basketball.

The venues of Nanjing Institute of Physical Education are open to him, and he goes there every day to swim, run, and play basketball, and his life is very comfortable.Moreover, he knew that An Runzhou had also been recruited by the Institute of Physical Education, so he couldn't help looking forward to next year's National College Basketball League.

Under such circumstances, he naturally couldn't stay in bed, and got up early to go for a stroll at school, but when he opened the door, he saw his cousin Lin Sifan standing in the entrance, putting on his shoes, as if about to go out.

"Sifan, why do you get up so early? Are you going out?"

Lin Sifan stayed at his brother's house during the summer vacation, and he had to stay in bed until lunch every day. Today he seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit and got up earlier than his brother. Lin Sifan said while putting on his shoes, "I want to go out! I'll make breakfast Yes, put it on the table and remember to eat, I'm leaving!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Sifan opened the door like a gust of wind and left. Lin Xin didn't understand what was going on, but heard the sound of pedaling going downstairs, wondering why he was in such a hurry.

Of course Lin Sifan was anxious, because today was the day when Lu Yuan left for the United States. He had a plane at [-]:[-] am and estimated that he would take the high-speed train to Nanjing around [-]:[-] am.And this trip took several months, Lin Sifan thought that he would say goodbye to him no matter what, and tell him what he wanted to say, otherwise he would stay in the United States for a long time, and he might forget himself.

Moreover, Lin Sifan has already discussed with her family that when she graduates from high school, she will go to the United States to go to school, go to a music academy, and pursue her favorite things like Lu Yuan.

In the hearts of fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, this world is beautiful after all. Even the tears when parting are tears of laughter, because there is hope in the heart, the longing for reunion and the beautiful expectations for the future.

Reunion is parting, parting is also reunion, Lin Sifan excitedly, like a happy bird, rushed towards the airport with her full of words.

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

"117, 118, 119, 120!"

After doing 120 sit-ups, Gan Zhizhi climbed up from the cushion. It has been a week since he came to the United States. His life has never been more monotonous. Training, eating, sleeping, training, eating, sleeping.

After the national competition, Gan Zhizhi went directly to the United States. From this fall, he will be enrolled in the Oregon Chaga University and join the Gonzaga Bulldogs basketball team, following in the footsteps of his grandfather and starting his journey in the NCAA , if all goes well, after playing in the NCAA for one or two years, he will participate in the NBA draft and become another Chinese player going to the NBA.

After becoming a celebrity, his arrival naturally attracted widespread attention, but this week, Gan refused all media interviews and various school activities, and concentrated on training in the training hall, starting from the most basic physical training to advanced training. For technical training, Gan has almost lived in the training hall so far.

There are also NBA trainers who come to give him lessons every day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and the cost of a day's homework is several hundred dollars.

There is no doubt that the loss in the finals taught Ganzhi a good lesson. Basketball will not deceive you. If others are better than you and work harder than you, they will take away the victory.

Before the finals, Gan Zhizhi was too confident and relaxed. He wandered around, wanting to broaden his horizons and improve his mind. He believed that no one in China could teach him a lesson in terms of technology and physical fitness, and a defeat gave him a deep blow. lesson.

This may be a good thing for him. The sooner the failure comes, the better. He has never been defeated in the country, but he failed in the last battle, but he also started a new journey.

And Gan Zhizhi knew that Bai Ye, Lu Jian, and that Lu Yuan were also coming to the United States.Thinking of Lu Yuan, Gan Zhizhi thought of that pink hat again, feeling sore in his heart, and got up to continue training.

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

Bai Ye woke up early and went to the high-speed rail station to wait for the two brothers Lu Yuan and Lu Jian. Today they are going to the United States together, to Los Angeles.

After the finals, he did not stay in BJ, but returned to Licheng with his teammates. Principal Zhu held a grand celebration banquet for them. It can be said that winning the championship made the whole Licheng boil.From the leaders to the students, they all came to congratulate, Lao Zhu can be said to have saved enough face.

However, there is always a banquet in the world, and Lizhong, which became the national champion, will soon face disintegration. Needless to say, the seniors, Wu Peng went to BJ, Zhang Fan went to Wuhan, and Zou Zhou went to Nanjing. The three have no regrets , went their separate ways.

Both Bai Ye and Lu Yuan decided to go to the United States. Because of Bai Ye's outstanding performance in the finals, he won the Finals Most Valuable Player. Bai Duo fulfilled his promise and sent Bai Ye to Wilson High School for further study.

Luckily, Lu Yuan received an invitation from another Wilson High School to continue to be a member of their basketball team. Out of consideration for his son's future, Xu Qian agreed to let his son go abroad. As for the cost, the school and Lu Zihao will share the expenses. By the way, Lu Zihao also sent Lu Jian out to let the two brothers train together.

Thinking that Lu Yuan and Lu Jian would become teammates in the future, but she would become their opponent, Bai Ye felt very uncomfortable. Who would let them be brothers?

"Yezi, remember, send me a message when you get there."

It was An Yi who was talking, and she came to the train station to send Bai Ye off after parting. She gently tugged on Bai Ye's hand, not exerting any force, but refused to let go, feeling both reluctance and confusion in her heart.

In this world, how many emotions can withstand the torture and pull of distance, especially for fifteen or sixteen year olds, life is like a chocolate candy, and they haven't even opened the box lid yet.

However, Bai Ye held An Yi's hand tightly, stroked her hair lightly, didn't know what to say, so she leaned over and wanted to kiss her forehead lightly.

"Leaves, leaves, leaves! Oops, I'm late, I'm late, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Not far away, Lu Yuan's screams like killing a pig sounded, Bai Ye had to stop, and said softly to An Yi: "I'm waiting for your performance in the Grand Theater."

An Yi nodded vigorously. For them, dreams are the best destination.

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

Today is the day when Lu Yuan and Bai Ye leave, but it is also the day when the Licheng Middle School basketball team recruits new players. Like last year, the best players in Licheng gathered in the gymnasium for selection. Unlike last year, not only Licheng Many talented players from the surrounding area have come here especially.

Veteran players also had to come for training, so Wang Yourong couldn't go to the train station to send Lu Yuan and Bai Ye off, so he could only watch the selection in the gymnasium. The crowds were simply spectacular.

It is said that there are already hundreds of people who signed up this time, and Principal Zhu had to check it himself. First, a group of people were eliminated in the interview stage, and the remaining dozen or so people participated in the re-election. It is said that this group of people has good candidates from Changzhou, Wuxi, and even AH. seedling.

Therefore, although Lizhong lost two pillars at once, its reputation has already been established. If it can come here to support the team again, it will be even more necessary, and this has attracted many talents to join.

Wang Yourong watched from the sidelines for a while, and felt that these people were still far behind Lu Yuan and Bai Ye. He thought to himself that without these two in the future, the coach would let him develop his offensive ability, what a deal.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Wang Yourong felt sick to his stomach and wanted to go to the toilet.

Suddenly he was stopped by a person, a girl, who shouted at him: "Hey, Wang Yourong, long time no see!"

Wang Yourong saw that it was Wei Linli, the little girl from Xingpei Middle School. Why did she come here?
"Why, I can't come over to see the excitement. I'm also a student of Licheng Middle School this year, so I came to see the dormitory in advance."

It turned out that Wei Linli was admitted to Lizhong this year. Looking at Wang Yourong who was a little stunned, Wei Linli patted him and said, "I watched your finals and you performed well. I also like basketball. You have to work hard!"

After finishing speaking, the girl walked away, leaving Wang Yourong scratching his head in a daze, as if he was not so sad in his heart.

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

Thousands of miles away, in a Taoist temple in Lushan County, Sichuan Province, Chen Cai cleaned the courtyard, sprinkled water, fed the chickens and ducks in the cages, served fresh tribute fruits and sandalwood to the Sanqing Statue, and kowtowed twice , ready to go with your luggage on your back.

The old Taoist didn't say goodbye to Chen Cai. He went to the mountain to absorb the sun's essence and moonlight early in the morning before dawn. Apart from the Taoist temple, standing halfway up the mountain, he could see the figure of the old Taoist seated on the peak.

Chen Cai knew that Yu Laodao didn't care about him, but he was afraid that he would be reluctant to leave. After the national competition, Chen Cai returned to Lushan and lived a quiet life with his grandfather, but he still couldn't let go of the field in his heart.

He will still go to Lushan Middle School to play occasionally, but he will never break the basket anymore. His level, the average person is no longer his opponent.

Principal Han was very happy to see that he was promising, and wanted him to stay and play in Lushan Middle School, but Chen Cai still decided to go to Licheng, the basketball team needed him.

Seeing Yu Laodao's figure, Chen Cai knelt down towards him, kowtowed three times, then closed the door of the Taoist temple, turned and left.

About 20 minutes later, Principal Han's daughter, Han Lin, went to the Taoist temple to look for Chen Cai, but found that he had gone to the Taoist temple.

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

Jia Yumeng bid farewell to Lu Yuan with Xu Qian outside the high-speed railway station. Looking at Lu Yuan's hurried back, Jia Yumeng wanted to stop him and talk to him, but Xu Qian was beside her, so she felt embarrassed.

And thinking about Lu Yuan going to Lu Yuan for another half a year, unable to go to and from school with him, unable to have lunch with him, unable to watch him play ball, unable to dance for him, Jia Yumeng felt her nose sore.

And Jia Zhonghai in the car also had a sore nose, his daughter dragged him up early in the morning just to see Lu Yuan off, why not ask him to take a taxi!

Daughter is good, just say "Let Lu Yuan take a taxi and he will love the money", don't you know that you love your father?
Moreover, it seems that Jia Yumeng and Xu Qian's relationship is very good now. This is something that Jia Zhonghai has been thinking about for a long time. Jia Zhonghai can only look in the rearview mirror and do his job as a driver with peace of mind.

As for Xu Qian, she didn't want her son to go to America at first, but when she heard that Lu Jian was going too, thinking that the two brothers could truly reunite, the mother naturally agreed.

I just hope that both of them are safe in the United States.

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

In Los Angeles, USA, Lu Zihao was already ready to pick him up at the airport. After the national competition, he resigned from his position as the head coach of the Huaqing High School basketball team, and took Lu Jian to the United States to help his two sons arrange study and training. While continuing his studies, he strives to find a coaching position in an American high school and continue his path as a head coach.

His wife, Zou Lingling, and daughter Lu Yu are still in BJ, and they are ready to take over when the time is ripe. Lu Zihao thinks that it is the best thing to bring Lu Yuan back to his side. No matter what, Lu Zihao wants to make up for his past mistakes.

After waiting at the airport for about an hour, the direct flight from Nanjing finally arrived. Lu Zihao hurriedly got up and went to the reception hall to look around anxiously. After a while, he saw Lu Yuan and Bai Ye.

Lu Zihao excitedly waved at the two of them. Both of them saw Lu Zihao, but unfortunately, they ignored him.

Then Lu Zihao saw Lu Yuan and Bai Ye walking towards a fat black man, Lu Yuan stepped forward and hugged the fat man, and said, "I miss you, Jason!"

Seeing that Lu Yuan was about to follow the fat man, Lu Zihao ran forward, grabbed Lu Yuan, and said, "Lu Yuan, I'm here to pick you up."

Lu Yuan looked at Lu Zihao like that, and replied: "Oh, thank you, but I have someone to pick me up."

Lu Zihao just said that this should be Bai Duo's friend, but Lu Zihao still hoped that Lu Yuan could live with him, he should have let Lu Jian come with him.

Lu Yuan asked Bai Ye and Jason to carry their luggage to the car first, and he stayed behind and said to Lu Zihao: "Uncle, my mother told me that when we arrive in the United States, we can find you if we have any difficulties. But I don't have any difficulties for the time being. My friend and I It's good to live together, I'll find Lu Jian if I need something, remember to tell him I'm here. Okay, I'm leaving."

After finishing speaking, Lu Yuan turned around and was about to leave. Lu Zihao grabbed Lu Yuan again, wanted to say something, but felt it was futile, so he could only say: "It's really good that you live with your friends, but can I make a request, after you... ... From now on, don't call me uncle, can you call me... dad?"

Lu Yuan originally looked at Lu Zihao, but suddenly noticed that not far away, a girl wearing an off-white dress and a straw hat was walking by with a trolley case. She turned her head and glanced at Lu Yuan. It was beautiful, like a perfect porcelain doll, she smiled at Lu Yuan, turned her head and lowered her straw hat, and walked away.

"Lu Yuan?"

"Huh? Oh, I see, Uncle."
