Dreams start with basketball

Chapter 231 Dragon Scales
"Okay, tomorrow we will set off to attend the opening ceremony, and then we will officially start our trip to the Jiangsu competition area!" Coach Li Jian also said happily to everyone, "Yes! Everyone replied."

On the morning of December 31, the weather was fine and cloudless. Except for the cold temperature, everything else was in good condition.

"Xiamen, have you packed it?" It was Yu Hao's voice on the other end of the phone. After Xia Tian connected the phone, he put it aside and didn't even turn on the speakerphone.

"It's packing up now. I brought a big suitcase and put some clothes and toiletries." Xia Tian said with a smile while packing up.

"That's fine. Don't forget about chargers, plugs, and ID cards. We'll be playing there for over a month, and we probably won't be back until a week or so," Yu Hao said in a muffled voice.

"Understood, captain, you don't want to call one by one to inform you?" Xia Tian asked curiously.

"Of course, let's not talk about it. I'm going to inform Tian Cong. I guess the kid hasn't woken up yet. We'll meet at the school gate at two o'clock in the afternoon!" Yu Hao shouted over the phone.

"My ears are going to be deaf, I know it!" Xia Tian hung up the phone, he could understand Yu Hao's mood, he was also very excited at this moment, he would embark on a trip to the National League tomorrow, how could he not be excited, He wanted to see how different his opponent was from Anthony Morrow.

After looking at the sorted clothes, he found that the sorting was almost done, so he lay on the bed thinking about how to defeat Anthony Morrow.

Last night, he had another one-on-one duel with Anthony Morrow. The result was still no surprise, 21 to ten. Although the score was ten, the gap was not small. During the duel In the process, he found that the training in the United States is indeed much more advanced than that in China. There are some balls that Anthony Morrow has no chance to shoot, but he will still use his body to push against Xia Tian's defense, and then shoot, although it is hasty, but Xia Tian could see that the other party didn't panic, but instead had a feeling of getting used to it.

"Hey, after playing against NBA players, I want to see what kind of pressure the opponent can bring to me." Thinking about it, Xia Tian stood up from the bed and glanced at the scenery outside the window.

Their community is very quiet, especially the houses in the community are very well soundproofed, almost no sound from outside can be heard.

It's finally about to start, the National League JS Provincial Competition

The competition will start tomorrow. Everyone has experienced more than half a month of torture, sweat and tears. The most unstoppable thing is exhaustion. There are nearly ten hours of training every day. In addition to eating and resting, it is just training, but The persistence these days has also brought about a rapid improvement in everyone's strength, especially Cao Ben. Last night, Cao Ben found that he could dunk with both hands. This was unthinkable a month ago. Originally, he was very reluctant to dunk, and one hand could only reach more than half of the palm of the basket, and he could barely grab a volleyball or the like to dunk, but unexpectedly, he improved his bounce by at least [-] centimeters in half a month. After Cao Ben's dunk, everyone realized that their level has improved a lot, and now everyone is full of unprecedented confidence.

After a night of adjustments, Xia Tian's current spirit and body are basically in a very good state, and he is always ready to have a real fight with his opponent on the court.

"Just waiting for you, Zhenjiang High School!" Xia Tian shouted out the name of his opponent in the next round, then stretched out his right hand and clenched it into a fist.

"Almost forgot, my new sneakers." Xia Tian remembered that his sneakers had arrived yesterday, but he was too busy to challenge Anthony Morrow yesterday, so he forgot his new sneakers. He walked to the garage door and took the new sneakers to his room. Then he opened it carefully, and a brand new pair of basketball shoes appeared in front of his eyes.

This is a pair of sneakers full of magic. The upper is designed with dragon scales as a whole. They are tightly intertwined with each other. The ultra-light sneakers themselves seem to be weightless in the hand. From the side of the shoes From the outside, it looks like a poisonous snake with thorns, which has a great impact on the vision, especially the elastic ball on the tongue, which is like the eyes of a dragon, very handsome.

Xia Tian naturally knew what kind of shoes he was buying. The eighth generation of Kobe used a carbon plate design that was almost unavailable in the market, reducing the weight of the carbon plate to an unbelievable level, but the shoes were not the essence of the eighth generation of Kobe.

The most essential part of Kobe’s eighth generation is his insole. It can be said that Nike’s technology is used in the insole. The back palm of the insole is equipped with an air cushion, which can perfectly reduce the pressure after landing. There is also a chip in the middle of the insole. It can also maintain the center of gravity of the players when they break through, produce a more perfect grip, and bring unparalleled comfort to the players in actual combat. These shoes are a gift from Jing Jing, to celebrate him getting Lianyun District MVP, and knew that he had signed with Nike, so he specially bought a pair of Kobe Bryant's eighth-generation elite series.

Originally, Xia Tian didn't particularly want to change a pair of basketball shoes, but when An Jing handed the shoes in front of him, he was completely fascinated, and then went online to verify that they were genuine.

He put on the new shoes with great joy, and decided to wear them to Nanjing in the afternoon. It happened that the shoes were too new, and it was also very good to wear the shoes when walking.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone gathered at the gate of Guanyun No. [-] Middle School on time. Before the school bus arrived, Yu Hao walked over first, and shouted loudly at the others: "I wear new shoes in summer!"

Then suddenly a group of people came over and stepped on Xia Tian's new shoes one by one, making Xia Tian's face full of black lines, but he quickly remembered that this is the tradition of wearing new shoes, and it is also to prevent The new shoes don't fit.

"Nanjing! We are here, Jiangsu competition area, we are here to win the championship" Wang Dawei looked at a large group of teammates, suddenly regained his energy, and couldn't help shouting.

"Is there something wrong?" Xia Tian covered his face, Wang Dawei did

The problem is, as long as there are many people, he gets excited and starts barking. He discovered this problem last time, but forgot to mention it. Now it seems necessary to remind him not to behave like this, it's too embarrassing.

"Haha, look!" At the moment the school bus came, a large group of students came out of the school.

"No, it's so grand." Yu Hao couldn't believe it, he didn't expect that the school would organize so many students to see them off.

In this way, a group of 13 people boarded the school bus to Nanjing in the crowd, and started a new and fascinating journey.

"Are you nervous, everyone?" Coach Li Jian said to everyone sitting in the front of the car.

"Hahaha, don't be nervous, coach, we are even very excited, Zhenjiang Middle School, we will take them to our first stop!" Xia Tian said looking out the window.
