Chapter 11 Trials

After arriving at No. [-] Middle School, everything went smoothly.After a week like this, suddenly one day, Li Jianwu hurriedly came to tell Ying Xiong that the school basketball team was going to gather at noon, and the former national player Shao Ziqiang would be the coach of the team and would attend.

Hearing this news, Ying Xiong remembered the meeting and conversation between Shao Ziqiang and himself in the county junior high school basketball finals in April. "I will definitely join the school team, we will meet soon!" He secretly said in his heart.

Li Jianwu came back from the meeting at noon, and he couldn't wait to report the situation to Ying Xiong: "Big Bear, I saw Shao Ziqiang, wow—it's like a dream! He is younger and stronger than on TV."

"Didn't we meet before?" Ying Xiong said.

"That time I was completely immersed in the joy of victory, and I had long forgotten the scene at that time. I don't remember what he looked like at all!" Li Jianwu explained.

"..." Ying Xiong asked, "What did he tell you?"

Li Jianwu said: "I didn't say anything, just let us introduce ourselves, and then briefly said a few words."

Ying Xiong nodded and said, "Maybe it's the first meeting, so he probably won't tell you about basketball tactics."

Li Jianwu suddenly seemed to think of something, he pulled Ying Xiong's arm in surprise, and kept tugging: "By the way, there is another piece of good news!"

Ying Xiong couldn't help complaining: "Speak slowly, I'm listening! If you pull my arm again, it will be broken by you!"

"I'm sorry!" Li Jianwu retracted his hand and explained, "I heard from Coach Shao that the current members of the basketball team are not inconvenient, and those who violate the rules or perform poorly will be eliminated. Also, this week The day will face the first year of senior high school and select basketball talents. Bear, with your strength, you have a good chance of being selected!"

Ying Xiong digested the news that Li Jianwu heard in his mind, and then asked: "If the whole school really wants to select the freshman, there should be an official notice."

Li Jianwu nodded with great certainty and said: "It should not be wrong. Coach Shao said it himself. Later, I confirmed it with Cai Guanzhong. The news is absolutely reliable!"

Ying Xiongzhi thought that this news should not be false, someone with Shao Ziqiang's identity could not spread the news without reason.

Li Jianwu added: "I heard from the seniors in the third year that this is the first time in the history of No. [-] Middle School that the entire school selects basketball talents! Coach Shao is worthy of being a famous coach, and his way of doing things is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary physical education teachers. Bear, my Obediently, if you are selected, wouldn't we...hehe...we could be on the same team again?"

Ying Xiong ignored him and thought: "Shao Ziqiang's innovation is not for me, is it?" But he quickly rejected this idea, no matter what Shao Ziqiang's starting point is, he must seize this opportunity, no matter what Shao Ziqiang's starting point is, he must seize this opportunity. You should have the mentality of "recommendation", and you should try your best to defeat other competitors and join the school team.

Sure enough, a notice was posted on the school bulletin board the next day. The school basketball team selected talents, and freshmen from high school were encouraged to sign up. The sports committee members of each class were responsible for counting the number.Subsequently, the school radio also broadcast the announcement.For a while, the campus of No. [-] Middle School became active for this matter. Many boys in the first year of high school who love basketball felt that a fair and just opportunity was coming, and they were all gearing up to join the school to prove their strength.

Soon, when the time came to Saturday, the number of applicants came out.As many as 101 people participated in the basketball team selection.You know, there are more than 16 boys in 400 classes in the whole first year of high school.In other words, about 1/4 of the boys have signed up for the basketball team selection, which is enough to show how popular the sport of basketball is in high school.

Naturally, Ying Xiong also signed up.For him, it doesn't matter whether other people sign up or not, and it doesn't matter how many people sign up, because he firmly believes that no matter how others perform, he will be selected.Not because Shao Ziqiang appreciates his relationship, but because he must be selected, which is one of the reasons why he came here.

The new campus of Yuezhou No. [-] Middle School was newly built, and naturally, the basketball hall was also newly built.Whether it is the venue, the lighting, or even the bathroom, they are all brand new.Finally came the day of the public selection. On Sunday, the basketball hall was full of voices.

This is the first time that Yuezhou No. [-] Middle School selects school team members for the first year of high school through open selection. special requirement.This selection, the threshold is low, so that the high school boys who love basketball enthusiastically sign up.For a while, the topic of school team selection became the hottest topic in the school.The new coach and basketball expert Shao Ziqiang was also praised by the students, who was called "reducing talents without sticking to one pattern!"

In the open selection on Sunday morning, not only all members of the school team attended.The most important thing is that the head coach Shao Ziqiang personally participated in this selection and recruitment, which made the standard of this selection a lot higher.

Of course, many of the first-year high school freshmen who came to participate in the selection came to join in the fun, and some of them didn't even know how to play basketball, so they signed up purely out of joy.Of the 101 people who signed up, 99 people finally showed up. The probability of selecting 99 out of 1 people is indeed low enough.But this did not reduce the enthusiasm of the boys in the first year of senior high school, which is enough to show how much Shao Ziqiang's pioneering move won the hearts of the students.

99 people were in the stadium, chattering, and it was extremely lively.At 9 o'clock, Shao Ziqiang, accompanied by Cai Guanzhong, came to the stands.Shao Ziqiang took the microphone that Cai Guanzhong handed him, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone be quiet, be quiet!"

The voice below quickly quieted down. Everyone followed the direction of the voice, and finally turned their eyes to Shao Ziqiang in the stands.

Shao Ziqiang went on to say: "Grade [-] students, good morning! I am the new coach of our school, and my name is Shao Ziqiang!" Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers and applause.As for Shao Ziqiang, anyone who likes to play basketball or watch sports channels is naturally familiar with him.Not to mention that he is also a celebrity in Yuezhou City.

Shao Ziqiang said: "Everyone listen to me first! The purpose of recruiting them here today is to select basketball talents and strengthen the strength of the school team. I know, because the previous teammates of the school team were all from junior high schools. The selection method is not scientific enough, and the number of places is limited, so that many basketball masters have been missed." When he said this, the freshmen below all agreed with him, and some even Eager to try, eager to express yourself.

Shao Ziqiang continued: "Let me explain the rules of this selection now. I will personally serve as the judge for this selection, and Teacher Cai will serve as the referee for the selection competition. The total number of people present today is 99 people. Waiting for the seniors who came to the sidelines." Get the number book from 1-99 there, and stick it on your chest. The trial match is held in a 3-on-3 half-court match, with numbers 1-3, 4-6... and teams are formed in this order to compete, and the team that advances by 10 goals The first team wins! In addition, I need to emphasize that it is not necessarily the last group that can be selected, and the number of places for this selection is not unique. As long as everyone plays well and exerts their strengths, it is possible Selected. Alright, I've finished my words, next everyone go to get your numbers, find your teammates, and then prepare for the game! Come on, everyone!"

After a burst of warm applause, all the applicants scrambled to get the directory.Ying Xiong walked slowly at the end, watching the people ahead scrambling for the number book.In his opinion, even if he gets No. 1, so what?The number book must have been messed up, otherwise, a few good junior high school teammates will go to get it together. If it is a team, it will be very unfair to other temporary team members.

Wei Ziqiang in the stands had already come to the side of the field at this time, he saw Ying Xiong, and Ying Xiong also saw him.The two smiled similarly and neither spoke, but the eye contact was enough to replace talking.

Ying Xiong was the last one among the 99 boys to get his number, and his number was 94.I don't know if other people think this number is unlucky, so I didn't choose it (probably impossible).But for him, it doesn't matter at all.

The process of finding teammates was very lively, 99 people were all looking for their teammates, and the arena was noisier than a vegetable market.But soon, everyone found their teammates.Ying Xiong and the group of No. 95 and No. 96 also successfully found them.

No. 95 is a thin man with a height of about 165cm, wearing Allen Iverson’s No. 3 jersey, arm guards and wrist guards, a pair of Reebok basketball shoes, and the equipment is very neat; No. 96 is a fat man with a height of about 180cm, long It was dark and fierce, like a bear turned into a spirit.

Cai Guanzhong explained the part that Shao Ziqiang didn't explain clearly just now: "Students, you have found your own team now, and wait for the 1-3 team to play against the 4-6 team, and the 7-9 team to play against the 10- Team No. 12 plays like this. The last team has a bye in the first round. The first game will start in 5 minutes!" As soon as he finished speaking, these temporary team members began to communicate with each other and assigned temporary offensive and defensive tasks.

According to Cai Guanzhong, Ying Xiong's group will appear at the end.Judging from the order of layups, there is no need to be too anxious about arranging tactics. You can watch other people's games slowly.You can also discuss how to play while watching the game.
