against the front

Chapter 1 Yan Hua
Shanghai in April is still a little bit cold, with a little drizzle mixed with the weak northwest wind, but Yan Hua, who is standing on the court, is sweating profusely at this moment, and steaming heat is still rising from his head.

The body is slightly arched, and both hands are supported on the player in front of him. Yan Hua's feet are firmly planted on the ground one after the other. While exerting all his strength, his eyes are fixed on the player in front of him. , is also Zhao Yan who I want to defend today.

"Give me the ball." With a loud shout, Zhao Yan in front of Yan Hua started, and after successfully receiving the basketball, Zhao Yan ruthlessly leaned towards Yan Hua behind him.

"It hurts." Feeling the strength coming from Zhao Yan's huge buttocks, Yan Hua's body was already trembling, but he was still firmly stuck in his position, desperately supporting Zhao Yan's back with his arms.

"Hmph, do you think you can stop me?" After the first back attack was blocked by Yan Hua, Zhao Yan began to increase his strength gradually, and leaned towards Yan Hua again.

This time, Yan Hua failed to block Zhao Yan's all-out attack. Almost at the moment when Zhao Yan bumped into him, Yan Hua lost his position and took two steps behind him before he managed to stabilize his position. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Yan Hua was out of position, he half-turned and hit the hook.

"Boy, you are still far behind, you can feel at ease and play me as a substitute here." After the hook was hit, Zhao Yan accepted the cheers of his teammates while waving his fist at Yan Hua, mocking with disdain He said a few words to Yan Hua.

"Did I come here wrong?" Looking at the vicious "teammate" in front of him, and recalling all the things he had done since he came to Shanghai Sports School for more than a year, Yan Hua was very suspicious, and he believed the fool of the old man surnamed Li , Is it right or wrong to come here.

"No, my choice is not wrong." Thinking back to the past, Yan Hua said to himself firmly.

A year ago, Yan Hua was still a farmer in a mountain village who was worried about making a living. Because he was tall and had a big appetite, it was far from enough to support himself and his parents with the few acres of Susukida and a few cows at home, so he was introduced by the village head. Next, I went to the Hope Primary School in the town to work as a guard. Although the salary was not much, it was good to take care of the meals.

It was also there that Yan Hua met Li Huyou's nephew Li Changqing, a teacher who was teaching in Hope Primary School. After teaching, Li Changqing often asked Yan Hua to play basketball with him, because Yan Hua was the only one in Hope Primary School. The only one among the few male faculty members who is interested in basketball.

And after Yan Hua came into contact with basketball for the first time, he inexplicably fell in love with this round thing, so Yan Hua often followed Li Changqing to play on the very simple court on the school playground in his spare time.

When he was a beginner, Yan Hua was often teased by Li Changqing, who was a head and a half shorter than him, because he didn't understand anything, but after more than ten days, Yan Hua was able to fight Li Changqing. Up and down, after Yan Hua has studied with Li Changqing for a month, Yan Hua can use his height advantage to punish Li Changqing in various ways, and after only two months, Li Changqing would rather play alone than find Yan Hua. It's gorgeous, in Li Changqing's own words, whoever is idle and cheap will find you to abuse himself every day.

Originally, Yan Hua thought that his life would be spent in such an ordinary way, when suddenly one day, Li Changqing's uncle, Li Zhangmin who was called Li Huyou by Li Changqing.

As soon as this kind-looking old man saw Yan Hua, he looked up and down, stared at Yan Hua for several minutes, and then ran to Yan Hua with a look of excitement, grabbed Yan Hua's hands, and mouthed Li kept saying: "Good seedling, good seedling!"

Li Zhangmin's expression at that time made Yan Hua feel terrified, because of that expression, Yan Hua only saw it when Er Gouzi married his wife in the village head, and the expression when Er Gouzi and the bride were married was the same as Li Zhangmin is exactly the same now, so when Li Zhangmin said that he would take Yan Hua away from this remote town, Yan Hua dared not go with him.

In the end, the mayor and the secretary came forward in person, and the village head and Li Changqing repeatedly persuaded Yan Hua for several days before they persuaded Yan Hua to agree to leave with Li Zhangmin.

Yan Hua has long forgotten what the mayor and the secretary said to Yan Hua about winning glory for the country, but Yan Hua has always remembered very clearly what the village head and Li Changqing persuaded him at that time.

At that time, the village head pulled Yan Hua's parents to Yan Hua's side, pointed to Yan Hua and said, "Xiaohua, go, no matter how bad the outside is, it will not be worse than at home. If you guard this valley, you will have nothing to do in your life. Just you With this amount of food, you will still be hungry when the harvest is not good, so go ahead and take your parents away when you are successful outside, and don’t let them suffer in this ravine again.”

What Li Changqing told Yan Hua at the time was: "Don't you like basketball? There is no one here to play basketball with you, but it is different outside. There are people who like basketball and are good at playing basketball. It is the space for you to display."

Li Changqing's liking for basketball and the promise of the village chief made Yan Hua leave his hometown with Li Zhangmin and came to Shanghai. Entered the Shanghai Sports School, let Yan Hua receive the most professional basketball training here.

Yan Hua who came here at first was very pleasantly surprised, but after a long time, Yan Hua found that those who trained with him were not so much teammates as competitors, because everyone here, All they think about is how to be stronger than others, maybe only in this way, they can stand out from this basketball team of dozens of people like Li Yue, and be selected by the professional basketball team.

Li Yue is the former main center and captain of the basketball team of the Shanghai Sports School. Because of his outstanding performance in the Shanghai University Basketball League held some time ago, he was selected for the youth team of the Shanghai Oriental Sharks basketball team and took the first step in his career. step.

And almost all the players in the entire Shanghai Sports School basketball team want to become the next Li Yue, a professional basketball player.

Since Li Yue is the most powerful player in the basketball team of Shanghai Sports School, when Li Yue was there, no one dared to have any opinions. At least on the surface, they were still amicable. The ghosts and ghosts of the roads jumped out, especially Zhao Yan, who succeeded Li Yue as the new captain, was the third fire in the new official position.

And Yan Hua, who plays the same center forward as Zhao Yan, has a competitive relationship, and refuses to join Zhao Yan's command. Yan Hua, who is Zhao Yan's younger brother, naturally becomes the target of Zhao Yan's suppression.

Today's game was actually just an ordinary intra-team match, but because several school leaders were watching on the spot, Zhao Yan tried his best to make Yan Hua look bad, and by the way, he also established his own new captain majesty.

Therefore, in the first ten minutes, Zhao Yan would single-play Yan Hua whenever he had the opportunity. Yan Hua, who has only been in formal training for more than a year, even if he has made rapid progress, it is impossible for Zhao Yan, who has been in contact with basketball since childhood Opponents of professional players, and Yan Hua's teammates also took pictures of Zhao Yan's lustful power, intentionally or unintentionally isolated Yan Hua, so Yan Hua was beaten terribly by Zhao Yan on both offensive and defensive ends.

"Old Li, this is the genius you sent here? Doesn't it look good to me?" On the rostrum beside the court, the vice principal of Shanghai Sports School who accompanied Li Zhangmin to watch the game saw Yan Hua on the court. After his performance, he shook his head.

But for Li Zhangmin, the vice principal is still very face-saving. Although Li Zhangmin is only a basketball coach in a sports school and is about to retire now, Li Zhangmin is a big player in the entire Shanghai basketball world, because Li Zhangmin has trained Huaguo. Yao Ming, a strong basketball player, has such a relationship. Even the director of the Shanghai Sports Bureau will be polite when he sees Li Zhangmin, let alone a mere vice-principal.

"Principal Zhang, Xiao Yan has only played basketball for more than a year, and it is already very good to be able to play like this." Li Zhangmin has noticed Yan Hua's progress, but it is a pity that he found that Yan Hua It was too late, Yan Hua is now 19 years old, and has missed the best learning age. As for what he will be like in the future, Li Zhangmin himself has no idea.

"Old Li, there is nothing else in Huaguo. There are so many big men. This Xiaoyan looks very good in physical condition, but he is too old now, and has already missed the best learning age. No matter how much you practice, you won't be able to become the next Yao Ming." From Principal Zhang's point of view, Yan Hua's physical condition is still very good. If he can start receiving formal basketball training from an early age like Li Yue and Zhao Yan, His achievements will definitely not be lower than Li Yue's. Unfortunately, when Yan Hua was discovered by Li Zhangmin, he was already 18 years old.

Take Zhao Yan who played against Yan Hua on the court as an example. He started playing basketball at the age of 7 and entered a sports school for professional training at the age of 10. Therefore, Principal Zhang is not very optimistic about Yan Hua's prospects. Yes, it is precisely because of this reason that Yan Hua is not a formal student of the Shanghai Sports School until now, but is temporarily affiliated with the basketball team of the Shanghai Sports School relying on Li Zhangmin's relationship.

But for the stubborn Li Zhangmin, Principal Zhang also had no choice but to slander in his heart that he was bewildered after cultivating a Yao Ming, and he thought he was a genius when he saw a big man.

"Hold it, hold it..." Li Zhangmin couldn't care less about what Principal Zhang said now, because on the court below, Zhao Yan and Yan Hua faced each other again.

This time, Yan Hua still couldn't withstand Zhao Yan's back-to-back singles, and was even staggered by Zhao Yan, and sat down on the ground.

"Boy, you're not good at playing basketball. Hurry up and pack up your bags and go home." Zhao Yan, who knocked Yan Hua over directly, walked to Yan Hua's side on purpose after dunking the dunk, sneering at Yan Hua, And the surrounding teammates looked at Yan Hua with sympathy.

However, Yan Hua ignored them and did not sit up from the ground, because an inexplicable voice suddenly sounded in Yan Hua's ear: the super center system is being bound.

3, 2, 1, the binding is complete.
