Chapter 4 V.5: Old Department

"How is it possible!" Ling Lan said to herself while inserting the key into the keyhole, "Do you believe Yuchen? Someone is playing basketball inside the basketball gym even before the door is opened! Could it be a ghost!"

Ouyang Yuchen, who was standing by the side, also felt it was weird. Linglan opened the iron door and pulled it to both sides: the person who appeared in front of her was indeed a player playing basketball. The slightly tall figure was also wearing sportswear, with an ordinary appearance. The appearance is slightly mature, and he doesn't look like a freshman in high school.Ling Lan hurriedly walked towards him and asked, "Who are you? How did you get into the basketball court?"

The senior student in front of him saw Ling Lan and Ouyang Yuchen at the door stop their movements, then pointed to the top of the stand on the left and said, "I have the key to the side door of the basketball hall."

"What?" Ling Lan raised her head in disbelief and looked up at the high side door which was indeed open, she was even more puzzled, "You... how do you have the key to the basketball gym?"

He clapped the basketball in his hand and said, "Because I'm a member of the school basketball team."

After a while, they introduced each other and found out that the sophomore in front of him was named Yang Hao. He used to be a member of the basketball team of Xiangshan Middle School. After the basketball team disbanded, he kept the key to the side of the basketball hall.Yang Hao also learned about Ling Lan and Ouyang Yuchen, and learned that Ling Lan, as the basketball manager, planned to rebuild the school basketball team.

"Let's put the package here first." Ling Lan pointed to the area on the side of the venue and said, "Thank you, Senior Yang."

Yang Hao nodded and said, "I want to thank you, Ling Lan. The revival of the school's basketball team is of great significance to an old basketball team like me. After all, there is no one else in the basketball team now."

"What about the others?" Ling Lan questioned, "If the basketball team was disbanded last year, there should still be many scattered players like Senior Yang?"

Yang Hao shook his head in disappointment and said: "Except for the seniors who have graduated from the third year of high school, there are not many members of the basketball team like me who are still in school, and...they will definitely not return to this basketball hall."

"Sure?" Ling Lan asked in surprise, "Why didn't you come back? If you can communicate well, you will be able to convince them, right?"

Yang Hao denied it and said: "Please don't bring the saboteurs back here."

Ling Lan probably understood what Yang Hao meant. It turned out that the disbandment of the basketball team was not accidental. One of the reasons may be as he said: there used to be so-called "sabotage elements" in the team that led to the disintegration of the team.Thinking of this, Ling Lan nodded and patted Yang Hao's shoulder with a smile, "Okay, don't worry Senior Yang, I will rebuild a new basketball team."

Afterwards, Ling Lan, Ouyang Yuchen, and Yang Hao began to arrange the newly purchased basketball equipment. Ling Lan connected the leather tube to the water tap and turned it on, picked up the other end and began to wash the corridor and the locker room. The moon was full of dust, and then Ouyang Yuchen and Yang Hao took the mop and began to clean it carefully; Ling Lan picked up the sackcloth and sat on the stool next to a box of basketballs, patiently wiping the basketballs one by one and putting them aside.

Linglan wrung the rag and remembered that she had bought professional cleaners, so she went outside the stadium and opened her backpack to look for it. At this time, another familiar voice came from outside the door: "Is anyone there?"

Ling Lan froze for a moment and turned around to see two short guys standing one behind the other at the door: Li Ying, the self-proclaimed sports genius rookie king, and Meng Xiaodong, who was dumbfounded.As soon as Li Ying saw Lily Lan in the basketball court, she ran over energetically and shouted: "Aha, what a happy Sunday! It's time to show my genius like Lily Lane!"

Ling Lan walked directly in front of Li Ying as if he was air, and came to Meng Xiaodong's side and asked in a friendly tone: "Meng Xiaodong, do you still know me?"

……

Ling Lan and Meng Xiaodong held Li Ying's left and right hands respectively and shouted, "Help! Someone is going to commit suicide by hitting the wall..."

After a while, Ouyang Yuchen and Yang Haowen came out of the corridor. After a few people got to know each other, Linglan patted Li Ying on the shoulder and asked, "Sports genius, are you ready to have a big fight?"

"Yoxi!" Li Ying's eyes burst into flames when she heard the fighting spirit, "Look at my gorgeous basketball performance!"

Ling Lan took out two towels from her backpack and handed them to him, saying, "Here."

Li Ying looked at the towel in her hand with her mouth open, and Ling Lan patted him and Meng Xiaodong on the shoulders and said, "The stands here haven't been cleaned for a long time, so I'll leave it to you two."

Li Ying held a towel in one hand and a half-iron bucket of tap water in the other hand, walked up to the stands with Meng Xiaodong disheartened, and muttered: "What a failed Sunday for geniuses..."

In the following time, Ling Lan, Ouyang Yuchen, Yang Hao, Meng Xiaodong, and Li Ying patiently cleaned every corner of the basketball stadium. During the first three days of school, in a Xiangshan Middle School where the basketball team has been disbanded, I have reached an agreement with four students who love basketball: to rebuild the Xiangshan Middle School basketball team; and I am working hard for this goal step by step, If it was cruel to say that the team once disbanded, tomorrow's new team at the school club day will be full of hope.

After three hours of cleaning work, the entire basketball hall has a new look: smooth and shiny floors, neat and fresh corridors and locker rooms, spotless stands and windows... Ling Lan raised her hand full of joy and said: "I announce the new construction of Xiangshan Middle School The basketball team is now officially established!"

"Ah?" The four people in front of Ling Lan looked at me and I looked at you. I didn't expect Ling Lan to announce the establishment of the basketball team so bluntly. Li Ying patted her chest confidently and said: "All of this is my genius. credit!"

Yang Hao jokingly said, "It was established so quickly, so there are only five people including Lily Lane?"

Ouyang Yuchen adjusted his glasses and said, "Haste makes waste, haste makes waste..."

Meng Xiaodong scratched his head in confusion and said, "But I don't know how to play basketball yet..."

At eleven o'clock in the morning, everyone went home one after another. Ling Lan found Yang Hao and signaled him to stay. After the other three had left, Ling Lan looked at Yang Hao and asked, "Senior Yang, the old basketball team players except Is there anyone else besides you? I mean players other than 'wreckers'."

Yang Hao nodded lightly and said, "Well, yes... there is a senior in high school who used to be a member of the basketball team. If we can discuss with him, maybe we can persuade him to return to the basketball team."

Ling Lan agreed and said: "Senior Yang, is it convenient for you to find this senior in the third year of high school on Monday? Because the basketball club will formally recruit new students in this basketball hall on the school club day on Monday, so we can find more basketball team members." Just return to the old team."

Yang Hao agreed to Ling Lan's request and said, "Okay, I'll go to see that senior in the third year of high school on Monday, and I'll leave it to you, Ling Lan, to recruit recruits for the basketball team."

"Hey!" Lily of the Valley smiled and saluted, "It's such a happy decision!"
