[basketball] chase

On the day of the final, I missed two free throws, and then, the difference between the championship and the runner-up was only one point.Our team is the runner-up.

In the evening, Ling Xiao sent me a text message asking me not to blame myself. It took me a long time to reply: You play hard on your own.

Ling Xiao and I participated in the same game, but I was a member of a women's basketball team, while he was the captain of a men's basketball team.

The difference between men and women, Ling Xiao and I will never be teammates, let alone rivals on the court.

I adjusted for a few days, got out of the disappointment of losing, and received

A text message from Ling Xiao.

The championship trophy has been won, let's go out to have a meal and celebrate.

Speaking of which, how long has it been since Ling Xiao and I have seen each other?

When I met Ling Xiao, I just started to learn how to play ball. Now I can hardly remember Ling Xiao’s appearance, but I can always find news about him from other people’s few words.

I hesitated for a while, and finally agreed to meet Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao has a girlfriend, called Cheng Yi, who seems to be a student of a certain university, she looks petite and cute, and she is completely different from me.

The reason why I think so is because I met Ling Xiao's girlfriend during dinner.

"So you are Qin Qi. I heard from Ling Xiao that they were all playing ball, so I thought they were all men."

"Don't be rude, Xiaoyi."

I watched Ling Xiao accuse Cheng Yi, but there was a smile in my eyes.He should really like his girlfriend.

"Didn't you say celebrate getting the trophy? Let's order quickly." I smiled and reached for the menu in front of me.

During the meal, Cheng Yi kept talking, saying that she saw many trophies from Ling Xiao, and the championship trophy from this competition.

It's like saying that my boyfriend is the best in the world.

I didn't enjoy my meal, and felt unwell in the car when I got home, and finally vomited in a mess at the door of the dormitory.

I was sitting on the stairs, squinting my eyes, but my teammates who heard the sound put me back on the bed, pointed at me while helping me clean up.

"Isn't it just that we lost the game! We still have next year, and if we can't do it next year, we will have the year after!"

"Yeah, I lost the game."

I don't think I'm unhappy because I lost the game, but it seems that this reason is the most sufficient.

In the end, I didn't listen to the nagging of my teammates all the time, and fell asleep in a daze.

In the days that followed, it seemed that I had returned to my daily life, training for a few hours a day, and watching various competition materials for the rest of the time.

The coach said that we should look at other people's experience, learn lessons, and prepare enough. Next time, the championship trophy will not be missed.

Various NBA games are shown on the TV. The level of this kind of game is too high for me to use. This makes me sit in front of the TV and feel a little absent-minded, but suddenly I see a familiar figure on the TV—— It's Ling Xiao.

Of course it wasn't Ling Xiao who went to participate in the NBA, but I don't know how the coach got the video data of this game.

Looking at the boys running on the court, I thought of the first time I saw Ling Xiao.

At that time, I couldn't even dribble, but he dunked a beautiful basket next to me. The boy hanging on the basketball hoop jumped down and made the floor vibrate, which made me feel like my heart was shaking .

It was only after I inquired about other people that I found out what Ling Xiao's name was. Coincidentally, Ling Xiao and the team under the same club as myself are just the difference between the men's basketball team and the women's basketball team.

The players of this relatively low-level team have always been like flowing water. In the end, only Ling Xiao and I stayed in the first group of people.

I don't want to leave this stable place, and because Ling Xiao is the captain, he can't leave.

After the sponsors withdrew their funds, I changed the team, and Ling Xiao, who kept the team's name, re-recruited and formed a team.

Because of this relationship, Ling Xiao and I became acquainted, but we were not so eager.

Familiar stranger, such a title seems to be the most appropriate.Thinking of this, I suddenly lost interest in Ling Xiao running on the TV.

One day, the coach suddenly informed us to pack our bags for the next two days and go to a competition in another city.

The night before I left, I sent Ling Xiao a text message, and Ling Xiao didn't reply until I got in the car: Be careful on the road.

The opponent in the game was not a strong team, but the unfavorable conditions of the away game still made us suffer this time. After the stop whistle blew, seeing our team's leading score, the nervous heart was really relieved.

Just when everyone was packing up their things and preparing to go back to the hotel to rest, my teammates patted my shoulder and motioned me to look towards the entrance of the stadium.

Ling Xiao was walking towards me with big strides.

"How did you get here?"

"I came to see you play."

"You know that's not what I meant."

"...I broke up and suddenly wanted to see you."

The teammates around me were whispering, I entrusted my luggage to one of them, and then dragged Ling Xiao to the outside of the stadium.

Ling Xiao breaking up and Ling Xiao thinking about me are clearly two different things, but they are said in the same sentence, but it is a bit uncomfortable and weird.

What made me feel even more uncomfortable was that when I heard Ling Xiao say this, I felt a kind of secret joy in my heart.

"Why did you break up with Xiaoyi? You should like her very much." I asked.

"I like her, but she just likes to show off me." He replied.

"This shouldn't be the reason for breaking up. Don't you like her?" I asked again.

But he stopped answering. He said, "Archie, let's date."

Then, I rejected Ling Xiao.

No matter how much I regret my decision at night, I still feel that I did the right thing.

If Ling Xiao still likes Cheng Yi, what am I?

In the next few games, our team still successfully entered the finals. The coach was probably stimulated by the last game. The training intensity during this period was a bit overwhelming.

Fortunately, two days before the game, the captain and the coach said that everyone should recharge their batteries, so they had a few rest periods.

I thought of the two free throws I missed in the last game, and I was afraid that I would make another mistake in the next game, so I simply took the ball and practiced free throws by myself.

The whole court was the only sound of me shooting and picking up the ball. The training alone was boring and boring, but for peace of mind, I still repeated the actions over and over again.

The basketball hit the hoop and bounced out very vigorously. I ran over, only to find that someone picked up the ball faster than me.

"Are you still here?" I said.

"Let me train with you." Ling Xiao sighed.

I shot, and Ling Xiao stood under the backboard to help me pick up the ball and pass it over, and then repeated.

No one spoke, and the stadium still looked so deserted.

When I felt sore in my arm, Ling Xiao asked me: "What if you make a free throw or miss this game?"

"It must be your fault. If you don't curse me, I will definitely score." I took the ball back angrily, and prepared to pack up and go back to my residence.

When I walked to the gate of the stadium, I heard Ling Xiao shouting behind me: "If my curse succeeds, you can date me."

I didn't answer Ling Xiao, and in the subsequent games, I didn't miss a single free throw.This made me wonder whether I should be angry with Ling Xiao or thank him.

When we went back, the coach gave everyone a three-day vacation, which was regarded as condolences for our victory.

My teammates were discussing where to go to play once, but I caught a cold and fell ill on the way.

Coughing, runny nose, I was nestled under the quilt, and I was reluctant to crawl out when I was hungry. The biggest action was to pull the napkin next to the pillow.

My teammates were always worried about me, and rushed back to take care of me at noon, saying that I would not enjoy it, and the rare rest was wasted like this.

I smiled at my teammates, unable to say "I'm sorry", but said "Thank you".

But even so, my teammate still touched my forehead, afraid that I might have burnt my head.

On the last day of the holiday, I was still in a drowsy sleep, but I heard the phone ringing, and only after answering the phone did I realize that it was Cheng Yi.

"Qin Qi, are you free? I want to ask you to talk."

"Can't you do it on the phone?"

"I want to talk in person."

"I'm afraid I can't. I'm sick now. You can tell by my voice."

I don't know how she found my phone number, but I always feel that Cheng Yi's calling me is probably because of Ling Xiao.

Finally, under Cheng Yi's insistence, I still agreed to go out and meet and talk with Cheng Yi.

On the way, I sent a text message to Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao didn't reply me, but he didn't expect that Ling Xiao and I would arrive at the agreed place.

The moment I saw Ling Xiao, I had already imagined what kind of bloodbath would happen later, but when the three of them actually sat together, the scene didn't seem as scary as I thought.Cheng Yi ordered coffee for himself and tea for Ling Xiao, but he ordered a cup of boiled water for me.

Although I know that I can only drink plain water in my current situation, this kind of treatment still makes me a little unbalanced.

"Cheng Yi, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?" I asked proactively, running my fingers across the rim of the cup, and the coolness of the touch made me feel very comfortable.

"I originally wanted to talk to you, how can I get Ling Xiao to come back to me..." After speaking, Cheng Yi turned his head to look at Ling Xiao.

I feel like I'm just a light bulb sitting here, but I don't know if I should leave at this time, but I heard Ling Xiaoqiong say very sincerely: "Xiaoyi, I told you that I have already broken up with you .”

"Why!" Cheng Yi asked immediately.I am not interested in watching the scene where the couple is having a twist. I just feel dizzy and press my head on the table, hoping that this action will make me feel better.

"In short, everything is my fault. You can tell others that you dumped me." I heard Ling Xiao say this, and I couldn't help but look up to see what Ling Xiao's expression was like at this time. But I didn't expect that what came into my eyes was a big palm, directly covering my eyes.

My head is a few sizes smaller than a basketball, Ling Xiao's hand can directly hold the ball and swing it, and the hand covering my eyes touched my forehead at the same time.

Before I could react to what was going on, I heard Ling Xiao say to me again: "I'll take you to the hospital."

Half of the drip has entered my body, but I don't know what happened just now.

Looking at Ling Xiao who was sitting next to me reading the newspaper, I really couldn't ask.

"You didn't even know you were going to the hospital when you were sick. Otherwise, you should have a good rest at home. Why did you come out?"

"Isn't that your girlfriend? I don't even know how she got my phone number." I complained, but couldn't say anything more.

Ling Xiao silently finished the drip with me and sent me back to the dormitory, but when I entered the door, he grabbed me and said to me:

"Come with me, Archie."

I thought I must have burned again, and said dizzily: "...OK."
