After agreeing to Zhang Ni's request, Liu Huaxing also began to prepare for the next competition. In the past six months, he has been very busy studying, which has reduced his exercise time and physical fitness, which needs to be adjusted.It is impossible for him to recover completely in just one week, but he is not the type who eats physical fitness.
In the three months of summer vacation plus the first three months of school, they have almost finished their formal courses in the third year of high school. The textbook knowledge will be all over before the winter vacation. The remaining half a year is the summary and summary of all the knowledge of the three years of high school. Review, then continuous exams, mock exam, mock exam two, and finally usher in their college entrance examination.
So this game will not affect his and Yang Xiaoxiao's learning, it is good to take the opportunity to be lazy.
On Saturday morning, Liu Huaxing and Yang Xiaoxiao came to the school gate and planned to take the bus to Yunchuan Stadium. The journey was a long time, so they prepared some things to pass the time on the road.
But before getting into the car, he first greeted everyone in the team.
Because the team won the championship last year, it also recruited some good freshmen this year, and there are even basketball students from other schools who have specially transferred for this purpose.Because of this, there are a few high school students among the new players.
Of course, the starters in the team are still occupied by three old members Tang Ming, Han Tianyu, and Huang Yi. These three people are also three people Liu Huaxing knows, while the other two starters are newcomers, one is a transfer student from high school. The name is Zhao Jie, who is playing the small forward position, and the first freshman in high school is called Jiang Zhuobin, who is playing shooting guard and is the team's shooter.
Zhao Jie’s body is similar to Liu Huaxing, well-proportioned, with both strength and speed. He has a short head, almost the same as a bald head. But in fact, his facial features are pretty good, and he must be handsome in dressing up with sword eyebrows. , Liu Huaxing actually likes his player who puts his mind on basketball instead of idol image.
As for Jiang Zhuobin, it is completely the opposite type. He is relatively thin in stature and should be based on speed. However, he is about 1.9 meters tall. He is very fashionable. From sportswear to basketball shoes, everything is thousands of dollars. Famous brands are obviously types that care about their appearance and are aggressive.
"Liu Huaxing, great, I can play together again." Tang Ming and Liu Huaxing laughed.
"Hey, I'm talking about you," Liu Huaxing was a little angry at seeing him like that, and punched his arm, "I'm already a captain, speak louder. You look like you, usually on the basketball team Can you control these boys?"
"What can I do? I don't want to be the captain either." Tang Ming muttered a little aggrieved.
There is no way. If it is the captain, the most suitable candidate is definitely not Tang Ming. After all, his character is shy and introverted, and he is not someone who can control the team, but it is impossible to give the captain to the kid in the second year of high school. The students were in charge of the senior year, so Zhang Ni could only let Tang Ming be the captain in the end, and then help him do the things the captain had to do.
"Hi, everyone." Liu Huaxing said hello to the players, "Thank you today."
"Good senior." Jiang Zhuobin greeted Liu Huaxing enthusiastically, "There are so many beauties around senior, I'm so envious. It's fine when I can introduce one to me, preferably the well-behaved girl with glasses. ."
"It means it's better to be her. If it's not her, others can do it?" Yang Xiaoxiao sneered and asked, Jiang Zhuobin suddenly stood up: "Hey, this...I mean, I have a good impression of her."
"Go ahead, I won't give my girlfriend to someone like you." Yang Xiaoxiao said with a chuckle.
Jiang Zhuobin immediately went back in despair, and Liu Huaxing knew that he was talking about Wang Jue.However, a girl like Wang Jue should not be able to fall in love before graduating from high school.This type of girl, unless she meets someone who is particularly suitable for her, and she is simply a soul mate, generally will not fall in love easily, even after college.
But Zhao Jie’s attitude is different. He is not interested in the girls around Liu Huaxing at all. He just came up and shook Liu Huaxing’s hand. The handshake was a bit strong: “It’s a shame that the senior didn’t fight. The ball guard."
"Everyone has their own ambitions." Liu Huaxing just replied with a smile, "What you are good at and what you like are two different things."
In addition, a few freshmen came to the first year of high school, and they came forward to greet him one after another. At present, there are eight basketball talents in the whole team. In their city, their team is considered a very strong team. Up.
This is the name brand effect. Although Liu Huaxing only led their team to win one championship, relying on this championship can attract more capable players to join their school, so that their school has always been among the best teams.
After greeted the team members, Liu Huaxing got in the car with everyone, ready to go to the stadium.
"Xingxing, here you are." Yang Xiaoxiao said, and handed him a headset.With a smart phone, listening to songs and chatting becomes much more convenient.Liu Huaxing took the earphones and put them on, Yang Xiaoxiao also pillowed on his shoulders and let out a satisfying hum: "Finally, I don’t have to be bored in school...I’m almost suffocated, I really want to go out and play. ."
"Thank you." Liu Huaxing smiled and kissed her on the forehead. "Let's bear it for the last half a year."
"Half a year, six months... You didn't celebrate your birthday well before." Yang Xiaoxiao sighed and said, Liu Huaxing smiled: "Why didn't you celebrate well? Didn't you get two big gifts? Little Strawberry, And the gift of the little strawberry."
Yang Xiaoxiao pursed his mouth and leaned on his shoulder: "It's fine if you are happy. I just don't think that one day has passed without a good celebration with you. Alas, this period of high school is really annoying."
As he said, Yang Xiaoxiao patted his face and smiled: "We should be able to have a rest time of about ten days when we wait for the winter vacation. Then we will celebrate with you and do something we love to do."
"Yeah." Liu Huaxing nodded slightly, "As long as you stay with me, I will be very happy."
Yang Xiaoxiao hummed, leaned on his shoulder and closed his eyes, waiting for the car to move forward, while humming gently to the music in the headphones, Liu Huaxing also leaned on her head, feeling Yang Xiaoxiao's softness The scent from her hair and body, silently waiting for the car to arrive at the destination.But after a while, Yang Xiaoxiao suddenly took out his mobile phone.
"Xingxing, look, I copied the photos we used to travel to the mobile phone." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled and handed the mobile phone to him to see, "Look, this is where we are going to Liangang City. We are in Binghai City..."
Liu Huaxing looked at Yang Xiaoxiao in the photo and sighed: "My little strawberry is so beautiful, it's more photogenic."
"At that time, the hair was so short that it reached the shoulders..." Yang Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "It's all to the chest now."
Speaking of this, Yang Xiaoxiao sighed, grabbed a strand of her hair and scratched Liu Huaxing's face: "I really want to travel with you...anywhere, as long as I go out, I am very happy."
"There is no hope for this winter vacation." Liu Huaxing sighed, shaking his head.
Although there is the Spring Festival, high school seniors have to make up classes until two days before New Year's Eve, and then rest until the seventh day of the New Year, a total of ten days.During the Spring Festival travel period, it is almost impossible to get tickets to other places.
"When the college entrance examination is over, we will travel twice to make up for it." Liu Huaxing touched her brain and smiled.
Yang Xiaoxiao smiled at him, then nodded lightly, this time leaning on his shoulder to calm down.The two of them slept for a while on the road, but they woke up from a long sleep and haven't reached the place, so they happened to chat in the car to see the scenery outside the window.However, the roads are mostly highways and there is no scenery to see.
After finally waiting into the city, the car arrived at the gate of the stadium within twenty minutes.
Under the leadership of the staff, everyone enters the stadium from the exclusive channel for players, but this will make it possible to see the crowds around to watch the ball.Although it is not as good as those top competitions, there are thousands of people gathered on the scene.
Entering the stadium, everyone changed their clothes, waited for the end of the previous game, and then began to warm up. Taking advantage of this time, Liu Huaxing looked at the players of the opposing team.
Han Tianyu is now a point guard, and Han Tianyu will play first in the first quarter.It's been a long time since Liu Huaxing played with Tang Ming and the others. He didn't know their current style, so Zhang Ni asked him to observe one game first.
The basketball team in Lantian City feels like five people from Southeast Asia. Their skin is not as dark as a yellow race, which shows their terrible training volume.Whether studying or basketball, that city has always been known for its hard work.
Although this unskilled and stupid method is as criticized as exam-oriented education, it has created a solid basic skill in their team.Liu Huaxing glanced over, everyone's physique was very strong, much stronger than him.
"Oh, it's really hard to play provincial-level teams." Liu Huaxing sighed secretly.
Soon, the game began. Liu Huaxing sat on the court watching the players on the court while observing the playing style of the two teams.And Zhang Ni was sitting on the side and chatting with Yang Xiaoxiao about her love experience and development with Liu Huaxing.
From the last game of the last time, Tang Ming has found his own style.Although his physique is very large in high school teams, he is completely playing the position of power forward or center, but in fact his speed and skill allow him to be qualified for the position of small forward and shooting guard, which also gives him an absolute advantage. : Those who are taller than him are not as fast as him, and those who are faster than him are not as tall as him.
This is also considered an advantage, but the problem that he does not dare to collide with others is still the same, so it is useless to be taller than others.Huang Yi is still in charge of the position of the small forward. The main task is to grab rebounds and support and dismantle the inside line. In terms of scoring, he has a chance, but he doesn't have a chance.He mainly played with Jiang Zhuobin and helped Jiang Zhuobin create shooting opportunities.
However, Jiang Zhuobin basically has a low sense of presence on the court, just running around, waiting for someone to dismount him and shooting, most of the time he is playing soy sauce. This is the case for outside shooters.Zhao Jie's level is between Tang Ming and Han Tianyu. He is considered to be great in the city, but he is not at the top.Liu Huaxing then turned his attention to Han Tianyu.
"It's hard to say..." Liu Huaxing smiled bitterly with his chin supported. Han Tianyu's point guard is a bit nondescript. It feels like a shooting guard who was dragged to the ball. It's just that Han Tianyu's level was OK in the city before, but There are too many people who are better than him. If you don't change the point guard, you will be robbed of the starting position.
As for the Lantian City team's style of play...too steady, like a big mountain.The style of their team is defensive, and the man-to-man style of the game is intended to consume their physical strength as soon as possible, very straightforward, but very hardcore.
In this style of play, there is no result in the first quarter, the frequency of scoring by both sides is very low, and there is basically no difference between the advantages and disadvantages before the physical strength is exhausted.But Liu Huaxing knew that it might not be so good to continue.Although the rhythm of offense and defense is not fast, there are too many pulls between offense and defense. The entanglement and running of a single player will exhaust the physical strength of a specific player.
Zhang Ni also knew this. After the first quarter, she immediately sent Liu Huaxing to the court.
"Look carefully at how Liu Huaxing controls the ball." Zhang Ni taught Han Tianyu, "Your vision is too narrow. Every time you can only see the ball in your hand and the players in front of you, your vision and attention. To be placed on the entire court, to observe the position of our team and the enemy team on the entire court through the peripheral vision, and then create opportunities."
This tall hat is for me... Liu Huaxing smiled bitterly and started to warm up.Before going on the field, Yang Xiaoxiao waved his hand to him and smiled: "Come on, O Xingxing, we will go shopping here and then go back after the game. I'll talk to Coach Zhang."
"Well, you were obedient off the court." Liu Huaxing touched Yang Xiaoxiao's head and smiled, and then came to the court.
It's been a long time since I've been on the court, and I felt a pressure on my face as soon as I went on the court. This pressure came from the opposing players.The five players in Lantian City were all focused on him at the moment, and their expressions suddenly became serious.
The opponent must have watched their team's previous games, and know that Liu Huaxing is the true point guard in this team. After he comes on the field, their team is fully integrated, so the next step is to decide the victory.Liu Huaxing took a deep breath and waved his hand to signal the team to surround him.
"Well, the opponent's purpose in this game is actually only one. While reducing our scoring as much as possible, we also consume our physical strength through defense. Therefore, we have to change our style of play. We can no longer rely on me to pass the ball. It depends on the rungun style of play." Liu Huaxing explained, "The whole team relies on constant passing to advance and score."
"That style of play is very tacit..." Zhao Jie frowned, "The first time we cooperate with you, we can't fight."
"Don't worry, I have an easy way." Liu Huaxing smiled.
