King of shooting guards

Chapter 182 Hope
It was late at night, and the teaching assistant had already fallen asleep.The anesthetic in his hand had expired, and the pain kept coming, and Li Changgeng couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Sitting up from the bed, the room was pitch black, but it didn't affect Li Changgeng's sight at all.After passing through the inexplicable air flow to transform the meridians in the Shaolin Forbidden Area, this ability has been involuntarily increased.

Under the light, Li Changgeng endured the severe pain, carefully unwrapped the bandage the doctor had wrapped on Li Changgeng, and gently lifted off the gauze. Li Changgeng's dilapidated right hand appeared in front of Li Changgeng's eyes.The situation was much better than imagined, and the doctor's timely treatment made the finger no swelling as imagined.Although it still looks miserable, it is not as ugly as a pig's trotter after all.

Tried to move his fingers, the sudden pain almost made Li Changgeng scream.Gritting his teeth, he tried his best to move. Fortunately, his fingers were still in control—the fingers were not broken.

Enduring the pain, Li Changgeng tried to make various movements with his fingers as much as possible, slowly moved his fingers, and carefully circulated his true energy into the meridians of his fingers. A miracle happened, and the severe pain suddenly weakened a lot. The right hand seemed to be soaked in cold water all of a sudden, it was cool and comfortable.Genuine Qi is moving slowly, carefully penetrating into the fine meridians like silk, carefully repairing the damaged meridians.With the experience in the system, the meridian is no longer a strange thing to Li Changgeng.

After four years of systematic life, I practiced under the supervision of Xiao Er every day. I don't know if I am not familiar with it.Although zhenqi has no special effect on the repair of bones and joints, it has an unparalleled effect on the meridians, especially after Li Changgeng underwent the transformation of the forbidden area, this effect seems to be strengthened a hundred times.

I don't know how long it took, but this tedious and subtle restoration finally came to an end.Although it couldn't be seen on the surface, Li Changgeng clearly knew that the pain in his right hand had subsided a lot, and his stiff fingers became much more flexible.

Try to clench your fists and stretch your fingers. Although the pain and damage are still there, you can finally perform this action completely.As for flexibility, that will be a matter of the future, and Li Changgeng has long since had no extravagant hopes.

Even with only one hand, Li Changgeng is still Li Changgeng!
It was time to re-bandage his right hand, and with his left hand he was fiddling with a large pile of bandages. Li Changgeng was busy for a long time.Li Changgeng was dumbfounded when he saw the messy bandage on his right hand—it was too ugly!How to bandage it when it is loosened again?Just when Li Changgeng was having a headache...

Li Changgeng, who was not sleepy, quickly put on his clothes, ran to the door of each room, and knocked vigorously on the door: "Hey, you slobs, it's time to get up!"

The door of the room was pushed open, and the sleepy-eyed team members muttered, "Which bastard, disturbing dreams early in the morning?" When they saw that it was Li Changgeng, they were all speechless. After a long time, Beethoven Nervously said: "Li Changgeng, early..."

"It's getting late, it's already seven o'clock, let's go wash up, we have dinner and training in Los Angeles!" After speaking, Li Changgeng happily pushed open the door, ready to wash up.There was a faint discussion from them behind him: "What happened, he seems to be in good spirits! It can't be that he is too sad!
These bastards!

After breakfast and a short rest, Los Angeles came to the basketball court near the hotel.Many teams that did not play in the morning are already training.Luckily for Los Angeles, there is even a court for Xiao Erxian.

After a simple warm-up, Los Angeles began to practice.Since there is still a competition in the afternoon, Li Changgeng only arranged for everyone to do some simple training.

Harris controlled the ball unhurriedly on the sidelines, doing some simple basic training.Li Changgeng, whose right hand was bandaged, was idle, sitting on the sidelines holding a basketball with one hand, dribbling the ball from time to time.Without his right hand, Li Changgeng seemed unable to do anything.What else can such Li Changgeng do?Li Changgeng thought involuntarily.

Dribble breakthrough?It seems impossible.Without the cooperation of the right hand, it is absolutely impossible to break through the national level defender.Breaking through with one-handed control of the ball is something that only scholars can see.Without the cooperation of his right hand, the power of Li Changgeng's breakthrough was not only reduced by half, but even less than ten percent of the original power.You know, all of Li Changgeng's breakthroughs are based on the ability to flexibly control the ball with both hands, coupled with varied movements and ghostly speed, without his right hand, Li Changgeng seems unable to do anything.

shot?Anyone who knows a little bit about basketball will know what fingers mean to play basketball.With the loss of four fingers, Li Changgeng's chances of shooting with his right hand are zero.However, Li Changgeng seems to be able to shoot with his left hand!Yes, Li Changgeng can also shoot with his left hand!Although the injury to his right hand may affect the shooting feel, but for Li Changgeng, it should not be fatal!

Grab the basketball in your hand, gently support it with your bandaged right hand, bend your knees, bounce your legs, jump up, and shoot!After drawing an arc, the basketball fell steadily into the basket!In!
In an instant, all eyes fell on Li Changgeng!The expressions of the team members showed surprise, then surprise, and finally ecstasy!Mozart shouted excitedly: "Li Changgeng, did you shoot that ball just now? Can you still shoot?"

Shrugged and made a disapproving expression: "Obviously!"

Mozart cheered all of a sudden, ran over, hugged Li Changgeng's neck, and exclaimed excitedly: "Great, great..." Li Changgeng, who was held by his arms under his armpits, was thrashing and struggling. , can't breathe.When Li Changgeng was about to suffocate, he let go.The other team members also showed excitement one by one, and the originally dull stadium suddenly became lively.

Yes, Li Changgeng can still shoot!
Although he lost his right hand, Li Changgeng can still jump, catch rebounds, block positions, and defend, and Li Changgeng can still play!

Li Changgeng can play!

Grabbing the basketball with his left hand, two dodges, jumped high, and the basketball dunked heavily into the basket!Score!
"Papa!" The applause came to the ear curtains, turned around, and a middle-aged man was applauding outside the court, "Good job, Li Changgeng thought you would be lying on the bed now!"

"Who are you?" Mozart asked.Li Changgeng stared at the man in front of him, feeling familiar, but he couldn't remember where he met him.

"Do you remember me?" The middle-aged man walked past Mozart and asked Li Changgeng with a smile.

After thinking for a long time, Li Changgeng finally couldn't remember, shrugged, and spread his hands: "I seem to have seen it before, but I don't remember it!"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, grabbed the basketball under his feet, and skillfully dribbled the ball under his crotch, then turned around suddenly, shot, and the basketball fell steadily into the basket!in?Li Changgeng remembered, yes, it was that old man!
"Old man? Are you that drunk?" Li Changgeng blurted out.

"Old man? Drunk?" The middle-aged man showed a heartbroken expression, "I came all the way to see a child I hadn't seen for many years, but I didn't expect to end up like this. It's so sad!" He reached out to wipe his eyes, making a look of tears.

"Come on, stop pretending. Today I will make sure you lose everything."

"Now? One hand?" The old man looked at Li Changgeng's right hand and murmured, "Are you sure?"

Waving his right hand, Li Changgeng said angrily, "I'll let you off this time, and I'll settle accounts with you next time! Do you have anything to do with me? Li Changgeng heard Lucas say that you seem to be some kind of coach!"

"Sit down and talk!" The old man pointed to the stone bench by the court.Los Angeles walked over, the two sat down, and the old man handed Li Changgeng a business card, "New York Swordsman Head Coach Raptors Coach."

"I didn't expect you to be a well-known coach without looking good!" Li Changgeng jokingly said, although he knew that he was in front of the top coach in the United States, but Li Changgeng didn't seem to realize that he should be in awe of him for a while.

"What does it mean to be ugly? This is the demeanor of a mature man. How many times do I have to say it before you remember!" the Raptors coach became excited.

"Come on, what do you want from me?"

"I watched your game yesterday, it was great, really good!"

"Of course, I am Li Changgeng, the one and only big Li Changgeng, haha!" In front of old acquaintances, Li Changgeng seemed to have returned to the old days when he was a shameful and haughty child, and couldn't help bragging without nutrition!
"Sure enough, he is still an arrogant kid." The Raptors coach's eyes were full of smiles, "Are you interested in participating in more advanced competitions!"

"Professional competition? Don't be kidding, I'm only a sophomore in high school, and I don't participate in adult competitions."

"No, I'm not a scout. Of course, if you can come to the Los Angeles Jianle team, I welcome you." The Raptors coach took out another piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Li Changgeng.

"National Youth Team? What do you mean?" Li Changgeng looked at the "summoning order" in his hand and asked suspiciously.

"The training of the national youth team will be held soon, preparing for this year's Asian Youth Championship and next year's professional competition. Unfortunately, the head coach is me. I want to call you to participate in this training!" Raptors coach said.

"Aren't you kidding? You? The National Youth Team?" Li Changgeng was shocked.

A foreign coach was the coach of the Chinese national team, and he was shocked.

"This is not a joke, I have watched your game, you have this strength!"

"I have been a coach for more than 21 years, and I still have this vision. Your current strength is unique in the age group under the age of [-]. How about it, are you willing to participate? Think about it, and young masters from all over the world What an exciting matchup!" The Raptors coach spoke enthusiastically, his voice full of bewitching flavor.

"The training camp will start next month. Think about it carefully." The Raptors coach patted Li Changgeng on the shoulder.

"I'll think about it." Li Changgeng replied absentmindedly, still immersed in the shock just now.

"No matter what, you have to be patient and heal your injury now. If possible, I hope you can give up this NCAA tournament. With your current injury, it is too dangerous to participate in the competition. Li Changgeng knows that the biggest thing for you to participate in this competition is The goal has to be to beat the Raptors, but do you think it's possible to beat the Raptors with one hand?"

"No, I won't give up." Li Changgeng said decisively, "Participating in the NCAA has always been my dream. Although my right hand is injured, I can still shoot and grab rebounds. Even if I can't be a point guard, I still want to I can play forward. And it is not only my dream to participate in the NCAA, all the players in Los Angeles are working hard, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will never give up."

"But have you ever thought that if the injury worsens during the game, you may never be able to play basketball again. Is it worth taking this risk for a small NCAA league? You heal your injury and you can prove it on a bigger stage Why not do it yourself? Even if you give up this year's competition, you still have a chance to start again next year, so why do you have to take such a risk?"

"For me, there is no distinction between high and low in the competition. Winning is the purpose of participating in the competition. And the injury is not as serious as you imagined. I will be careful." Li Changgeng stood up, "I will Considering your suggestion." After speaking, he waved goodbye to the Raptors coach.

When the team members saw Li Changgeng approaching, they all surrounded him.

"Who is that person? What are you doing here?" Mozart asked.

"That person doesn't seem to be an ordinary person!" Leonard said.

"He is the head coach of the New York Jianle team, an old friend of Li Changgeng, come to see Li Changgeng." Li Changgeng said lightly, "There is nothing else, let's continue training in Los Angeles. For the game in the afternoon, Los Angeles must go all out. go!"

All the players happily continued the training just now.

The afternoon game will start soon.They won yesterday's game. If Los Angeles loses this game, it is tantamount to announcing the end of Los Angeles' NCAA road in advance.But thankfully, Tmall is nowhere near its rivals in Los Angeles yesterday.And Los Angeles, which lost a game, is already fighting to the death. With the momentum of mourning soldiers, Los Angeles' momentum far exceeds that of its opponents.Even in terms of strength alone, Los Angeles without Li Changgeng may not necessarily lose to its opponents.

At the beginning of the game, as expected by Li Changgeng, the Los Angeles team was aggressive. Led by the powerful skills of the ace Harris, the Los Angeles team took the lead all the way.The most surprising thing is Mozart's performance. After yesterday and the national super center, he has made great progress, and today's game is very handy.This may be the biggest gain of yesterday's World War I.

The score at the end of the first half was 48:40.

Li Changgeng routinely summarized the performance of the players in the first half. Harris was indeed the most outstanding performer. He scored 24 points alone and won half of the Los Angeles team's score.The others did not fare too well.However, Li Changgeng frowned: "Vujacic, you have already fouled three times. If you don't be careful in the second half, you will have to be replaced halfway through this game!"

"I know!" Mozart grinned and said with a smile.It seems that he himself was very proud of his performance in the first half.

"That's it. The second half is still the same as the first half. The opponent will definitely change their tactics in the second half and strengthen their offense. Los Angeles will stay the same for the time being, and just play as usual." Throwing away the notebook in his hand, Li Chang Geng said relaxedly, "It's really not possible. It depends on which one of you let Li Changgeng play to warm up. Seeing you playing so happily, Li Changgeng is also very happy."

"Haha..." There was a roar of laughter, and the atmosphere in the locker room was relaxed.

At the beginning of the second half, the Tmall team really changed their tactics. Eager to catch up with the score, they launched a man-to-man tactic at the beginning of the game.Unprepared, the Los Angeles team missed in the first few minutes, and the score was gradually narrowed.But after stabilizing the ground, under the leadership of the ace player Harris, they rushed to catch up, and the advantage of the score gradually fell to the Los Angeles team again.

10 minutes left.The score is 70:62.

"Flute!" The referee's whistle sounded again.In the penalty area, Mozart raised his hand resentfully—foul again.This guy is really a headache!
"Pause!" He called a timeout decisively.Looking around, is it Cheng Kunyong?Li Changgeng couldn't help hesitating for a while, this is the most critical time of the game, if the inside line misses, the whole situation will instantly fall to the opponent.Moreover, it is too heavy for him to ask him to bear such a heavy responsibility all at once.After hesitating for a moment, Li Changgeng finally took off his coat!

"You, are you going to play? Your hand..." the assistant coach was shocked.

"There are only 10 minutes left in the game, no problem!" Li Changgeng smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Help Li Changgeng untie the bandage!"

The assistant bit his lip, without answering, and gently helped Li Changgeng untie the bandage.

Mozart sat down on the chair and said angrily, "Mother, I just touched his hand lightly, and the referee blew the whistle!"

"Stop talking nonsense, come down and have a rest. I told you to be careful, but don't stop!" Li Changgeng scolded, "I will only substitute you for 5 minutes, and you should reflect on yourself. If you still behave like this next time, Li Changgeng will be in trouble in the first half." You are not sent to play!"

Mozart scratched his head, not daring to speak any more.

"Substitution!" Li Changgeng gestured to the referee.

The game restarted, and after the opponent made two free throws, the score was 70:64.There are 6 points left in the gap.

After taking the ball out of bounds, Leonard was immediately blocked by two opponents. Without any dribble, Leonard threw the ball high to Li Changgeng, and Li Changgeng, who caught the ball with his left hand, took advantage of the situation Oncoming, he firmly grasped the ball in his hands, and passed it to Harris easily before the opponent blocked.Although there is only one hand, passing the ball is still very convenient!
Harris, who never knew how to pass the ball, rushed to the opponent's position single-handedly.After throwing away two opponents in a row, Harris took off from outside the penalty area and shot!
The basketball bounced on the hoop and jumped out of the hoop!Grab the rebound!
A slender hand suddenly appeared beside the basket, gently pressed down the emerging basketball, entered the basket, and scored!
72: 64.

who is it?Besides Li Changgeng, who else.

Shrugging his shoulders, Li Changgeng easily turned around and high-fived Harris who was walking towards him.

"Nice job!" Harris, who always smiles miserly, showed a smile!
"This time it was just a fluke!" Li Changgeng smiled as he hugged Paul beside him, "Don't worry about shooting, the basket will be handed over to Los Angeles!"

"Don't let them grab a single ball!" Paul raised his fist confidently.

Harris nodded slightly, turned around and defended.Li Changgeng put his arms around Paul: "How about a competition in Los Angeles to see who grabs the most rebounds!"

Paul shook off Li Changgeng: "From now on!" He said and rushed towards the basket.

The game continues.Although the right hand has lost its previous flexibility, it will not be greatly affected in defense.Dribbling is not too important for the inside line that relies on rebounding to survive, especially Li Changgeng's left hand can also score.Los Angeles' inside line has become more stable after the addition of Li Changgeng.With strong support from the inside, Harris Beethoven can shoot with more confidence.The whole situation of the game suddenly fell to the Los Angeles team.

"Crack!" Li Changgeng, who grabbed the rebound once again, passed directly through the defender's armpit in the second class, and gently shook out the basketball. The basketball wiped the backboard and went into the basket gently!
Score!

There were exactly 5 minutes left and the score was 86:70.Li Changgeng gestured to the referee for a substitution.Mozart on the sidelines rushed over without waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for substitutions.

"Damn it!" Paul was furious, "I would lose to you with one hand!"

Li Changgeng said softly, "Did you see the moves Li Changgeng made just now? You can do it too. Continue to compete in the next Los Angeles match!" He patted his shoulder and left the stage.

Off the field, the assistant coaches have already prepared towels and drinks.Li Changgeng wiped off his sweat, drank some water, and rested comfortably on the chair.The teaching assistant held up Li Changgeng's right hand, examined it carefully, and said happily, "Your right hand doesn't seem to have deteriorated at all!"

"Of course, Li Changgeng only controls the ball with his left hand from the beginning to the end!" Li Changgeng said proudly!
The teaching assistant tapped Li Changgeng lightly on the forehead, and said angrily, "This is because the opponents are kind. If they beat you a little more brutally, would you still be sitting here and stinking fart?" Li Changgeng opened his mouth slightly, dare not refute.The teaching assistant looked at Li Changgeng's foolishness and "puchi!" laughed out loud, his eyes were rolling and his delicate cheeks were about to faint.The eyes of Li Changgeng next to him stared straight, and the hustle and bustle in his ears suddenly went away from Li Changgeng.After a while, suddenly there was pain in his thigh, and Li Changgeng jumped up with a scream.The teaching assistant sat upright, blushing, and said in a low voice, "You idiot!"

Embarrassed, Li Changgeng scratched his head and looked around, but luckily no one saw him.Sit up straight quickly, pretending to concentrate on watching the game.My heart was still beating wildly, this little girl is really amazing, Li Changgeng, a true gentleman who sits in his arms, will almost become a **** when he meets her.

The game continues.The game without Li Changgeng turned into a tug-of-war between the two sides, and no one could do anything to the other.Los Angeles' lead of more than a dozen points has become the key to determining the outcome.

In the auditorium, two people whispered to each other.

"I think you may not have noticed, Mike, the number 24 that the white team just got off the field just now!"

"He? He's not very tall, but he's flexible, he's good around the rim, and he rebounds really well. But he's just good. By center standards, he's in the wrong position. I think he's a forward." Or shooting guard would be better!"
