Chapter 37 V.43: Dong Ling Love
Silent.

Lily of the valley and Zhang Wenjun stood under the small tree in the garden and confessed warmly, while the fence on the side fell to the ground inside and outside, a row of uneven people stood like groundhogs, and after a few seconds of stalemate, Lily of the valley could not suppress Containing the emotions in my heart, I immediately turned around and disappeared around the corner...

"Sister Hua!" Li Ying waved the granite in her hand and was pressed to the ground by Yang Hao and Ouyang Yuchen. After Lan Lie gave him a wink, Lan Shiu hurriedly chased after him. At this moment, Zhang Wenjun looked at the group of people in front of him at a loss. , and it was not suitable for everyone to talk to him, everyone looked at Ye Fan first, and then turned to Chen Chaohai.Chen Chaohai looked contemptuously at Zhang Wenjun and said, "Stay away from her."

After that, Lily Lan did not appear anywhere in the school, as if she had disappeared. The people of the basketball team could not find Lily Lane after the training, and it was not until Shi Qianqian called her home to confirm All is well; Lily of the Valley is depressed and silent at the moment, but tomorrow Saturday is the second round of the Winter League, which is a fatal blow to the basketball team of Xiangshan Middle School.

The next Saturday, the two games of Group A of the second round of the winter league in the large basketball stadium in the south of the city are:

Lincheng No.9 Middle School VS Hekou Senior High School starting at 00:[-] am
Xiangshan Middle School VS Xichengling Middle School at 2:00 pm

Although the team members arrived at the basketball court early in the morning to watch the match of the seeded team Lin Cheng No. [-] Middle School, Ling Lan never showed up. Shi Qianqian and Lan Shi did not find her when they went to her home.Ye Fan stood on the top of the stands watching the morning game kick off and said with a frown, "Everyone, the afternoon game is up to us."

The team members looked at each other without thinking. Yang Hao looked at his watch and said, "I hope that Linglan can rush to the scene. After all, she is the coach of the competition, and the competition with Xichengling Middle School cannot be without her."

In the second quarter of the game, the strong strength of Lin Cheng No. 29 Middle School suppressed Hekou High School. The active performance of Fengyun Brothers expanded the score to 18:[-]. Although Hekou High School made a tactical strategy against Fengyun Brothers, it failed can suppress success.

"Lin Cheng No. [-] Middle School is so strong..." Ouyang Yuchen pushed his glasses and said, "It's really hard to imagine that we will have to confront them head-on after breaking through the second round..."

Lan Lie also nodded, and Ye Fan calmly looked at the game situation and said: "Everyone, don't think about these things... until we win against Xichengling Middle School... these precautions will only bring us invisible pressure."

Chen Chaohai nodded in agreement and said, "The match against Xichengling Middle School in the afternoon did not go as smoothly as last time...We must show our strength to defeat them."

Shi Qianqian on the side came from the corridor, everyone stepped forward to ask, Shi Qianqian shook his head left and right and said, "No... I've searched everywhere, but I couldn't find Lily of the Valley..."

"Where did Sister Hua go?" Li Ying covered her face with her hands and raised her head and sighed. Shi Qianqian thought for a while and said, "When I called Ling Lan, Ling Lan said she was upset and just wanted to be quiet...but Didn't say where it's going."

"Ah..." Meng Xiaodong raised his hand and said in a daze, "I probably know where he is..."

Everyone looked at Meng Xiaodong, Ye Fan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Bring her back."

"Oh..." Scratching his head, Meng Xiaodong turned around and walked out of the passage corridor of the stands. He walked out of the gymnasium and came to the bus stop next to the street. After a while, he got on the bus and sat by the window looking at the gymnasium in the distance. Some deja vu appeared in his mind. In a deep and green mountain, pleasant sunshine and warm wind... Ten minutes later, Meng Xiaodong got off the bus, walked across the road into the park path, and stepped onto the bluestone road next to the scenic spot , along the mountain trails, green bamboo forests, and slowly walked to that familiar place...

To be alone is not to leave everything behind and hide, but to find the most pure self.

"You really found it here."

A word came from the dilapidated basketball court in the mountains. Meng Xiaodong walked to the front and looked at Ling Lan squatting under the basketball hoop, holding several branches in her hands, and inserted them one by one in the mud next to the court. Something seemed to have happened to a basketball full of mud marks next to the backpack on the ground not far away.

"Ah... what's inside." Meng Xiaodong scratched his head in a dazed manner and said, "The game in the afternoon..."

"You idiot, come here." Lily Lan stood up and walked forward, handing a few fallen bamboo poles to Meng Xiaodong and said, "This is really fatal... If I don't stick a few bamboo poles beside me, I'm going to lose my leg... "

Holding the bamboo in his hand, Meng Xiaodong stared blankly and said, "You went down to pick up the ball too... Are you tired..."

"If you know, ask!" Ling Lan pinched Meng Xiaodong's nose with a hand that was sticky with red clay and said, "Hurry up and insert bamboo into that row of mud on the sidelines."

Meng Xiaodong did as he did. The bamboos planted side by side on the muddy ground around the dilapidated court was much more reliable than nothing blocking it before. Then Ling Lan walked over to pick up the basketball on the ground, walked to Meng Xiaodong and handed the ball to him , Meng Xiaodong held the basketball in a daze and said, "I'm not going back now... What about the game in the afternoon..."

"It's only 11 o'clock." Lily Lan gestured to the watch, then pulled Meng Xiaodong's bandaged hand to point at the basket and said, "Idiot, have you seen the position of the basket?"

After Meng Xiaodong nodded, Ling Lan pulled him outside the blurred free throw line and asked, "Let me ask you, when you usually shoot, where do you feel the most comfortable?"

Meng Xiaodong looked around and walked to the 45° area one meter to the left of the free throw line. Ling Lan walked up to him and stretched out her five fingers to block his eyes and said, "You can shoot, but remember, you can't leave this area. "Meng Xiaodong stretched his neck to aim at the basket, but Lily Lan kept changing the direction of his arms to cover his sight. After more than ten seconds, Meng Xiaodong jumped up hesitantly to throw the basketball in his hand, but the ball flew to the basket. Finally, it hit the backboard and fell out. It bounced on the ground and was blocked by the bamboo pole inserted just now, almost falling down the mountain.

"You're in my sight..." Meng Xiaodong scratched his head with helplessness, and Ling Lan said solemnly, "Stupid, do you know the 'blind spot'?"

"What is that..." Meng Xiaodong scratched his head not knowing, Ling Lan picked up the basketball and raised it up to Meng Xiaodong's eyes and said, "Your fixed-point shooting method has a blind spot, that is, when you pass by with the basketball in your hand, Right now, for about a second, you can't see the defense."

"What will happen to the blind spot..." Meng Xiaodong didn't understand, so he asked, Ling Lan reached out and patted the basketball on his forehead and said, "Players with good defensive awareness will use the blind spot to block you, understand?" Ling Lan picked up the basketball and handed it to him He said: "Remember nerds, no one on the court will watch you shoot. . . Continue!"

Meng Xiaodong seemed to understand and tried repeatedly to shoot while being blocked by Lily of the Valley, but he missed all of them. He scratched his head and didn't know what to do. Lily of the Land calmly picked up the basketball and handed it to him, saying: " Although your line of sight is blocked by me, don't forget that this is the area where you are most confident to shoot... Your reflexes will help you find the right direction and give you another chance."

Meng Xiaodong took the basketball and held it in his hands. This time, his eyes did not fixate on the invisible basket, but stayed on the left hand that was dragging the basketball. He held the basketball with his left hand and held it with his right hand, and directly shot from the spot. Out of the basketball in her hand, Lily Lan put it down and turned around, and it fell behind her...
