Chapter 146 Don't Touch the No. 9 Jersey

North Lake Center, Winter Cup champion.

Such a title is extremely deterrent, and more importantly, their lineup is extremely young, and the three main players are all freshmen, which will help Beihu become a strong contender for the championship in the next few years.

Facing a strong enemy soon, coupled with the addition of newcomers, the pre-match meeting was held very late. Although it was just an ordinary exchange game, the third middle school paid special attention to it.

It has been confirmed before the game that the three main generals of Beihu will participate, but it is not known how long they will play.

"Beihu, it's Zhanyang's team." Chen Xin said.

"Yes, there are also Wu Di and Xiang Shang." Ye Lin added.

In front of the enemy, Ye Lin and Chen Xin's performance is not only not very nervous, but very relaxed. They are both U16 teammates, and they are too familiar with each other.

After confirming the jersey numbers for the game, Ye Lin and Chen Xin want to get No. 8 and No. 9, but these two jerseys already have owners. No. 8 belongs to Feng Chuang, and No. 9 belongs to Mu Chenfeng.

"I'm sorry, these two numbers have already been selected, please order others to choose the number." Su Mengyao held a form in her hand, and the jersey numbers confirmed by her teammates were specially marked, and there are many numbers to choose from.

"No, I want this number." Ye Lin didn't let go. The jersey number is a very important symbol for a player. Many players still wear the original number even if they change teams. These numbers are extremely special to them.

No. 8, the only number that Ye Lin has worn since she started playing basketball, and this number is also regarded as a lucky number by him. Even in the U16 ranked by strength, Ye Lin got this number by virtue of her strength. Some people say that if it is not for the No. 8 jersey, Ye Lin will be ranked higher in U16.

"Then speak with strength." Ye Lin looked at Feng Chuang with malicious eyes, and he knew that Feng Chuang was not his opponent.

Of course, Feng Chuang also understood what he meant, and had seen his strength. It was just a formality to decide the jersey through heads-up. He couldn't even beat ordinary opponents, let alone U16. Anyway, he didn't have any special feelings for the jersey number. It was better than being abused.

"Okay, I'll give you the jersey." Feng Chuang was somewhat reluctant to be forced to transfer the jersey. After all, after wearing the jersey for so long, he felt somewhat emotional.

"Thank you, I will take good care of it." After taking the jersey, Ye Lin felt like a treasure. Although the style of the jersey had changed, he still got the number he wanted.

"By the way, the number 9 jersey is for Chen Xin." Ye Lin pointed to the number 9 hanging on the hanger.

This is not a negotiation, more like an order.

"Number 9 is not acceptable." Su Mengyao stepped forward to pick up the jersey and held it in her arms, "This jersey belongs to Mu Chenfeng."

"Mu Chenfeng? Who is it?" Ye Lin asked, "Tell him to come out for a heads-up match. If he loses, I will give Chen Xin the jersey."

"He's in the United States, how can he fight you one-on-one?" Su Mengyao pouted angrily. In short, she would never let the number belonging to Mu Chenfeng be taken away by others.

"Stop arguing." Fang Tianzheng interrupted the dispute between the two, "There's no need for a duel, you should know the specific reason." Then he gave Ye Lin a wink, and Ye Lin swallowed nervously.

"What do I know?" Ye Lin continued.

"You know the result of the game." Fang Tianzheng patted him on the shoulder, then leaned into his ear and whispered, "Stop pretending here, if others can't see it, can't I see it?"

"Why is he so obsessed with the number of the jersey?" Feng Chuang, who had just been deprived of the number 8 jersey, finally chose the number 11.

"That's because they are used to that number, and the familiar number will have an invisible blessing effect on the players. The most famous example is Michael Jordan. When he retired for the first time, the team directly retired his No. 23 jersey in recognition of his contribution. This made the comeback Jordan have to wear the No. 45 jersey to play, and the No. 45 Jordan completely lost the dominance of the No. 23 period. With the approval of the league, he wore No. 23 again, and the basketball god also returned immediately. , This is the reason why players are obsessed with one number." Li Yao gave Feng Chuang a detailed explanation, and he couldn't get enough of what he heard, and he finally understood why Ye Lin was so obsessed with number 8.

"But number 9 belongs to Mu Chenfeng. He should have similar feelings." Feng Chuang recalled that Mu Chenfeng also showed the same persistence as Ye Lin when choosing the number, and his attitude was even more determined.

"Don't worry, he can't take the No. 9 jersey." Li Yao asserted confidently, "Even if it's a one-on-one match, he can't take it away."

"But that Chen Xin is really strong." Feng Chuang had fought against them before, and their performance made four people flash in Feng Chuang's mind.

"The reason is simple. Chen Xin's performance needs Ye Lin as a prerequisite. He is more like an incomprehensible finisher who is responsible for sending the basketball into the basket. Ye Lin is the one who really makes him invincible. Therefore, without Ye Lin, Chen Xin's strength will be greatly reduced. Even if it is a one-on-one match with Mu Chenfeng's strength, it is easy to win. You say so, captain." Li Yao turned his head to Su Miao.

"Chen Xin has a strong physical talent and rebounding sense, and is also very capable of protecting the basket, but his singles ability is limited. For example: DeAndre Jordan."

The example given by Su Miao is very characteristic. Jordan has extremely strong physical fitness, often staged dunks, and occupies the top position in shooting percentage all year round. He is also very good at protecting the rim, and his ability to block shots and rebounds is not to mention. But such a proper superstar level can only be regarded as a blue-collar player, especially after losing Chris Paul, the all-star point guard.

Chen Xin is the compressed version of Jordan.

To say that the person who knows Chen Xin's level best is Ye Lin.

"Listen to my advice, don't touch the No. 9 jersey." I don't know whether Fang Tian is an old Jianghu or an old hooligan, and Ye Lin was stunned with just one sentence.

"Okay." Ye Lin finally let go.

"This number is good." Su Mengyao carefully selected a number for Chen Xin from many numbers, number 15, which fits Chen Xin's temperament very well.

Ye Lin nodded slightly before Chen Xin reached out to take it.

"It's good to be this early." Su Mengyao smiled and clapped her hands. All the jerseys of the players were distributed, and the most important thing was that Mu Chenfeng's No. 9 jersey was saved.
