Chapter 22 Haruko OR Ayako
"Klay Thompson?"

Ron thought about it for a while, "I know this guy. He hit seven three-pointers in the state championship finals, breaking the league record for three-pointers in a single game. kind of performance."

"That is not bad."

Su Yang nodded, thankful that Clay is still a real high school player at the moment, and he is still a relatively ordinary player, unlike Harden who has played all over the California Invincibles. Embarrassed.

"Are you worried that it will be difficult to match up and defend? He does have a great height advantage, about [-] feet [-]."

Ron raised his hand to signal, Su Yang raised his foot and took a step, the two turned around and left the entertainment center, chatting while walking.

"We have to pay attention to his high and low post support. His passing ability is not bad, and he will probably use his height advantage to support him."

Su Yang recalled watching the video of Thompson's high school game before. At that time, Thompson often ran to the short corners on the left and right sides, using his height advantage to attract opponents to double-team, and then passed the ball to teammates in wide open positions against the defense.

"We can focus on practicing tomorrow."

Ron said, "This competition is very important. Coach David will definitely ask us to carry out special training. We lost too badly last year. We must not repeat that scene in front of the principal and students this year. It would be even better if we can win."

"The friendly competition is also fierce?"

"Of course, the principals of the two schools will come to the scene in person. The friendly match is just a name, more to show the strength of the school. They are one of the few blue ribbon middle schools in the United States. They are currently ranked 42. We haven't won that honor yet. We need to accumulate in this area. .”

"That would be difficult."

Su Yang originally thought that since it was a performance game within the team, the process and result were not important. As long as he communicated with his teammates a little and asked them to deliberately give up catching up when he was on a fast break, there was a high probability of finishing it once. Fast break dunk.

But now that the intra-team exhibition game has become a competition between schools, it will be difficult to complete a fast break dunk.

For example, Curry, the usual training dunks can be called Golden State LaVine, but actual dunks are rare, and may even slip. Even in the 15-16 season with the most dunks, there were only 7 dunks. zero.

"I feel fine."

Ron's tone was full of confidence, "Their team's tactical style advocates rationality and efficiency, which is probably influenced by the school's academic philosophy. Although they often achieve good results, they sometimes fall into deadlocks and never make changes from beginning to end."

Hearing this, Su Yang immediately thought of the Rockets coached by D'Antoni. At that time, against the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, Paul was injured and no one made mid-range shots.

If you only use mathematical concepts, reasonable is really reasonable, efficient is really efficient, but you just can't win.

Ron continued: "They are more afraid of a player with strong heads-up ability like you. If you can play at the same level as you singled out James Harden many times before, we will have a chance to beat them. What do you think?"

"As long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely take over the game."

After Su Yang finished speaking, the two chatted a few more words before parting at the school gate.

...

Su Yang rode back to his residence, thinking about two things all the way: dunking and winning the game.

And the core reason for wanting to accomplish these two things is to show herself in front of Lu Rulan.

This kind of feeling is very inexplicable. You can say that you like it, but you can't say what you like specifically. Anyway, it has nothing to do with your figure and appearance. Moreover, the artistic style that Lu Rulan showed was also offset by the scolding, and her personality is quite strong.

If you say you don't like it, you also feel that you really want to stay with Lu Rulan, just sit for a long time.

It was 08:30 in the evening when I got home, Zheng Xiang was sitting on the sofa watching TV, the program was Legend of Sword and Fairy.

"Why are you so preoccupied? Who beat me up again today?" Zheng Xiang said with a smile, "I'm almost finishing the admission procedures, and I'll be able to go to school together in a few days. Then you have to cover me, I recognize you This boss."

Su Yang ignored it, threw away his schoolbag and sat down, put his hands on top of his head, and began to think.

"Is something really wrong?" Zheng Xiang picked up the remote control and turned down the volume, "How about I help you as a staff member."

Su Yang wanted to refuse at first, but then he thought that he had too little relevant experience, so perhaps it was really necessary to discuss with him.

"I met a girl at school tonight, she is the receptionist of the volunteer club..."

Su Yang roughly recounted what had happened, and explained his confusion, and continued to think with his head in his hands.

Zheng Xiang suddenly slapped his thigh, "Congratulations, big brother, you met love, you met Mrs Right!"

"Oh?" Su Yang sat up straight, and said with some doubts: "How can you see that?"

"Have you heard of Zeng Shiqiang's theory?"

Zheng Xiang showed excitement, "You can't tell the reason for liking someone, but if you can tell the reason, it's not true, it's not true liking, because it's a condition, and the condition will change sooner or later, Mizuki How do you sing the song Nianhua..."

"What song? I have you all my life? How many people have admired your youthful appearance." Su Yang tried to sing.

"That's right!" Zheng Xiang slapped his thigh fiercely again.

"As the saying goes, the world can't keep it. Zhu Yan Ci Jing Hua Ci Shu, if you like her face value, then she will grow old sooner or later, if you like her figure, then she will become a fat aunt sooner or later, if you If you like her rich, then she..."

"I understand." Su Yang nodded repeatedly as if he had realized something, feeling warm in his heart.

"But there is a problem. According to your description just now, she has a high rank..." Zheng Xiang hesitated to speak.

"What are you trying to say?"

"What year was she in? I'm worried that she has a lot of experience, and you might not be able to play with her..."

Reasonably speaking, there is indeed such a possibility, Su Yang suddenly fell into thinking, worrying about his own wishful thinking.

Zheng Xiang continued: "You may think she is the gentle and innocent Haruko Akagi, but she may actually be the sophisticated Ayako Inoue. I suggest you not chase too hard. This is my long-term experience in picking up girls, so I have to hang on , take the initiative."

"We'll talk about it later." Su Yang panicked a little, got up and went back to the room, washed up and went to sleep.

...

There are five days of preparation for the competition, and Su Yang continues to insist on the 666 devil training.

In addition to the established projects, he resumed the single-bar training, hoping to increase his height and facilitate dunks.

As time passed, Lu Rulan didn't make any contact, and his restless heart gradually calmed down.

This afternoon, the Santa Margarita High School basketball team finally arrived at Mu Qiao High School.

There was a unified publicity from the school that the students who came to watch the game filled the entire arena, and some people stood and watched.

As a representative of the team, Su Yang delivered a welcome speech on stage, which was short and powerful, and won rounds of applause.

Just as I was about to return to the sidelines, I suddenly heard someone calling my name in Chinese, and the voice was a little familiar.

Su Yang subconsciously turned his head and saw Lu Rulan wearing the No. 8 Lakers jersey and waving with a smile on his face.

In a trance, he felt that all the good things in the world were intertwined.
