Chapter 36 V.42: Doom

There is not much time until the second round of the Winter League against Xichengling Middle School. In order to be able to beat Xichengling High School again, Suzuran specially researched some new things.After the preparatory activities, everyone sat around the center of the court as before. Ling Lan asked: "Apart from Gao Qiang, Lin Lei and Yan Hu, the three insiders who are over 185 cm tall, are there any other players in Xichengling?"

Chen Chaohai nodded and said: "As far as I know, Xichengling Middle School has a lot of repeated students in previous years because of the poor school discipline. Among them are basketball players who are beyond the age of middle school students... I know there is a man named 'Gui' The bad repeaters are stronger than the three of them, and their basketball skills are also good."

"Ghost..." Ling Lan frowned and said, "I don't know if Xichengling will send this tricky player for tomorrow afternoon's game. If not, it would be the best."

Ye Fan nodded and continued, "If you want to defeat Xichengling Middle School again, you need to go a step further."

"Of course, get up." Ling Lan stood up with a corner of her mouth and directed the players to take their positions and said, "Inside players, Ye Fan and Chen Chaohai are standing near the free throw line, with their backs facing the basket."

After the two did so, Ling Lan passed the basketball to Ouyang Yuchen and said, "Everyone, pay attention. When our inside player stands in a high position with his back facing the defender, his field of vision is very wide."

Ouyang Yuchen passed the ball to Ye Fan knowingly, Ling Lan motioned to Li Ying and said: "Like the current situation, the fast players cut in from the baseline without the ball, cut in, and then..."

Li Ying cut into the penalty area from the bottom line, Ling Lan commanded Ye Fan and shouted: "Now the inside players quickly lob the ball!"

"Drop ball?!" Others didn't understand why they heard this word for the first time, but Ye Fan seemed to understand the secret of tactics. He quickly read the ball with both hands and raised it over his head with his right hand to the bottom line. The player stepped forward and made a layup!
"Hey!" The players on the field looked strangely, Ouyang Yuchen pushed his glasses and said: "So that's how it is, using the height and vision of the inside players to accurately pass the ball to the cutting players at high positions... Interesting, what is the name of this tactic?"

Ling Lan picked up the basketball on the ground and stepped forward, saying: "Using the height and vision of the inside players to organize the pass attack at a high position, this is called 'high position support', and it is a highly efficient offensive tactic."

"High-level support..." The team members looked at each other and had an idea, and Li Ying said excitedly, "Hey, Sister Hua's new gadget."

"Pay attention to the lob gesture!" Ling Lan said after passing the ball to Chen Chaohai, "The so-called lob is when an inside player uses his height in a high position to give the ball to the player who cuts to the baseline; like this, throw the ball toward the body Side, back or ear 'hung' to teammates."

Chen Chaohai held the ball with his back to the basket, raised the ball in front of his face and threw it out from his left shoulder. Ling Lan stepped forward and raised his hand and said: "The power of the lob should be stronger and the speed of the ball should be faster. Now Ye Fan and Chen Chaohai The two lobped the ball from the left and right high positions, and all the other players repeatedly practiced cutting without the ball, marching to catch the ball and layup!"

The players began to practice the high position in a circle according to Lily's meaning. When Ye Fan or Chen Chaohai were in the high position outside the penalty area, the players on the left and right sides of the baseline quickly cut in from both sides without the ball, and the inside player immediately gave it with a back lob. Cut to the player to complete the layup, lightning fast!
An orderly training was going on in the basketball court. Lan Hour brought a dozen mineral water from the small shop, carrying some heavy hands in his hands while walking staggeringly, when suddenly he stumbled over a small stone on his toes and was dangling and about to fall. , someone reached out to hold her shoulder.

"Ah...thank you!" Lan Shi patted his skirt and looked up to thank him. He saw a strange face: a tall figure and a handsome face. A student with extraordinary bearing appeared in front of him. He asked politely : "Where is the basketball court of Xiangshan Middle School?"

"Ah..." Lan Xiao was obsessed for a moment and hurriedly pointed to the building in front of him and said, "That's over there... I'm going to take these to the past..."

"Let me help you." He generously picked up the mineral water in Blue Hour's hand and asked, "Student, do you know Hua Lily of the Valley? Is she in the basketball court?"

"En." Lan Xiao nodded with a smile, "Sister Linglan will be in the basketball gym every day after school... because Sister Linglan is the basketball manager of the basketball team."

Lan Xiao took him to the gate of the basketball hall, put the mineral water on the door with both hands, hurriedly trotted to the edge of the court, held Lily Lan with one hand, and said, "Sister Linglan, there is a very handsome big sister. Brother is looking for you! Hee hee"

"What?" Ling Lan clamped the marker pen in her hand on the drawing board and turned around. Looking at the figure standing at the gate of the basketball hall, she froze for a moment, with her mouth open and motionless like a statue; and outside the door, he saw Ling Lan The figure stepped forward, walked over and waved, "Ling Lan, I'm here to see you."

"No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ling Lan closed her eyes for a moment and screamed loudly, then pushed him away and fled out of the basketball court... The others at the scene didn't understand, so they stopped where they were. Li Ying took the ball and asked stupidly: "Flower What's wrong, big sister?"

Ouyang Yuchen put down the towel and pushed his glasses and said, "Probably...that's coming..."

"Ah?" Yang Hao choked on the water and asked, "Don't you come once a month?"

"..." Others looked at me and I saw that you didn't know what happened. Only Ye Fan noticed the stranger's existence, put down the basketball in his hand, walked over to him and asked, "Who are you?"

In front of him, he politely introduced himself: "Hi, I'm Hua Linglan's junior high school classmate, Zhang Wenjun, a basketball player who is currently studying at Baihua High School."

"It turned out to be Sister Linglan's classmate." Lan Shi looked out of the door and asked curiously, "But why did Sister Linglan run away as soon as she saw you?"

Just as she was talking, Ling Lan appeared outside the basketball hall again, and after a long time of stalemate in the arena, she said, "Wen... Wen Jun, come out for a while."

Zhang Wenjun turned around and walked towards the door, Linglan grabbed his wrist and left the basketball court quickly, the two came to the garden next to the school wall, Linglan looked around to make sure there was no one around, then looked into Zhang Wenjun's eyes Ask: "What are you doing at Xiangshan Middle School?"

Zhang Wenjun said calmly: "Ling Lan, did you write all those letters in my closet in the junior high school basketball room? I'm sorry I haven't opened them all the time. I don't know that every time you stuff the envelopes in it, it's always there... all the time. I didn’t see it until a few days ago when I returned to junior high school to go to the locker room to pick up my basketball.”

"I wrote it." Ling Lan bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before she said, "Every letter was written by me... I started writing from the beginning of the second half semester of the third grade... I'm stupid, right... "

"No." Zhang Wenjun looked at Linglan with a calm expression and said, "Every basketball game in junior high school, I could see you standing by the side of the court and cheering for me, even if the game was lost, you were still cheering for me... Thank you Suzuran."

Listening to Zhang Wenjun's words, Linglan turned her face to one side and became silent. In her heart, she saw Zhang Wenjun playing basketball by accident in the basketball court in junior high school, and she began to have a target of pursuit and obsession; she gradually began to change herself from a quiet and timid girl. Originally an introverted character, shouting and cheering at the basketball court again and again, and blending into the rhythm of basketball, Ling Lan knows what is called courage, self-confidence and faith; because of her love, she chooses, and Ling Lan once also picked up a pen to write to Zhang Wenjun A love letter of confession, but the end has not received a response...

"Yes." Ling Lan turned around and looked at Zhang Wenjun and said confidently, "In junior high school, I changed my original autistic self because I saw you playing basketball. I am not only your fan, your fan, I I really have a crush on you for a long time... I wrote all those personal letters and confession letters, and I also thank you, Wenjun."

Zhang Wenjun gently shook his head to indicate to bend down and put his forehead on Lily's bangs and said, "Lingly, actually I have always liked you, how about we date?"

Silent.

"Let go I'm going to kill him!!! Let go!!! I'm going to punch a hole in that guy's forehead!"

Suddenly there was a commotion in the nearby grass, and several figures tugged and fell unsteadily on the grass...Yang Hao and Ouyang Yuchen dragged Li Ying's arms and neck from left to right and fell to the ground, while Li Ying fell to the ground. Holding a slap-sized piece of granite in his hand, he was vicious, and a row of figures of uneven height stood up behind the fence. The scene was extremely embarrassing...
