Chapter 56 V.69: Strangeness

"You don't like him, do you?"

Meng Xiaodong stretched his waist, sat up and said, Ling Lan stared blankly at his figure and asked, "What...you idiot just said..."

"I said you don't like him." Meng Xiaodong stood up and yawned and said, "So, you don't need to show melancholy on your face like you are now."

"What do you know!" Lily Lan blushed and tugged at Meng Xiaodong's calf. He staggered and fell on the lawn like a big radish. Junior high school! You are an emotionally insulated idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot!"

Ling Lan made faces at Meng Xiaodong, and Meng Xiaodong sat on the lawn in a daze and said calmly:
"I just don't want to see you unhappy."

Lily of the Valley's mind went blank.

I just don't want to see you unhappy.

Her heart was deeply touched by such a simple sentence: there is a meaning of a person's existence, when he uttered a word that could reverse the lost state of mind, Ling Lan's heart was filled with relief and warmth, and this moment was very happy... …"Pfft..." Lily covered her mouth and laughed, stretched out her hand and patted his forehead and said, "Okay! I already know what you mean! Indeed, I should play the role of a weathervane, and I can't be sad all day long... Haha, you guys are quite likable sometimes."

Sitting on the warm sunny lawn and resting for a while, Ling Lan and Meng Xiaodong returned to the stands of the sports center. As soon as Ling Lan entered the stands, she saw a burst of wild cheers from the audience.

"Why..." Ling Lan was taken aback and turned to look at the big score screen in shock, "I...I, my God!"

The current score is 59:66!The score displayed on the big screen surprised Ling Lan. With one minute left in the middle of the third quarter, Xiaogan Middle School led by 1 points!
"Sister Hua!" Li Ying stood up and waved her hands, Ling Lan hurried over and sat down and asked, "What the hell is going on! Why is the defending champion falling behind! I can't believe it!"

Ye Fan nodded and said: "This is probably the reason why Xiaogan Middle School is called the biggest dark horse this year."

Ling Lan was still puzzled, Ouyang Yuchen pushed his glasses and said: "In the first quarter, the High School Affiliated to Municipal University completely suppressed Xiaogan Middle School, and entered the second quarter at 28:14, but Xiaogan Middle School launched a fierce counterattack at the beginning of the second quarter. Especially the impact on the inside line caused consecutive fouls by the defenders of the Municipal High School Affiliated High School. Both power forward Qin Qing and center Sun Jing had committed three fouls and ended up resting. Xiaogan Secondary School seized this opportunity to narrow the score and enter the third quarter with 3:45. "

"That's not enough." Yang Hao looked at the situation on the court and said, "So far, there have been 10 fouls and 4 violations in the High School Affiliated to the Municipal University, and many controversial throw-in referees have been awarded to Xiaogan Middle School... From this point of view, today's referee's whistle seems to be very beneficial to them..."

"Referee?!" Ling Lan rubbed her eyes and looked at the court. In the last wave of offense, Xiaogan Middle School forward Liao Renhuang dribbled the ball and broke through for a layup. Lin Manjiang blocked him from defending. After breaking through Lin Manjiang, he met Shangguan Jinnan and knocked him down!However, the referee whistled for Shangguan Jinnan's blocking foul.

"That's blowing too!" Ling Lan said incredulously, "Didn't you hit someone with the ball!"

Lan Lie, who was sitting on the sidelines, looked worried now, and then Liao Renhuang made two free throws on the spot and opened the score to 59:68. The third quarter ended.At this time, Lan Lie stood up from the stand seat and walked out, walked through the aisle corridor to the locker room dedicated to the game team.

"Shangguan!" Lan Lie shouted standing outside the door of the locker room, and all the team members of the High School Affiliated to the Municipal University looked over and saw Lan Lie's familiar figure.

"Lan Lie?" The players in the locker room recognized him, but no one greeted him. Qin Qing stood up, glanced at the others, walked up to Lan Lie and asked, "Lan Lie, what are you doing?" Here... are you okay recently?"

Lan Lie nodded slightly and asked, "Can I see Shangguan, please?"

Qin Qing nodded in agreement, Lan Lie walked into the locker room and walked up to Shangguan Jinnan and asked concerned: "Shangguan, are you okay?"

"En." Shangguan Jinnan put down the towel in his hand and asked, "Why did you come here suddenly, Lie?"

"I'm just worried..." Lan Lie said with a sigh of relief after hearing this, "After all, I used to pay attention to your physical condition all the time in the team. I was knocked down just now. It should be due to a foul by the opposing player."

"Okay..." Yu Yixian on the side drank water and pretended to be pretentious, "Shangguan fell and even the younger brother who had transferred to another school ran all the way to care so much... who cares about me..."

Lin Manjiang threw a towel to Yu Yixian and said coldly, "Put a knife into the disgusting heart, and then die of nausea."

"There is a problem with today's game." Sun Jing, who was standing aside, said, "The referee's whistle is obviously tricky. Whether it is physical contact or non-essential fouls, they are awarded to Xiaogan Middle School."

Qin Qing nodded and said, "I think so too, but it's not an option to argue with the referee now..."

"No need." Lin Manjiang said after pinching the exercise ring on his wrist, "In the 10 minutes of the fourth quarter, Xiaogan Middle School's shameful tricks have been used to the end... Shangguan has almost shown his strength, right?"

"Hehe." Yu Yixian glanced at Qin Qing and said, "Man Jiang is going to start splitting up as captain...isn't it good to be so ostentatious?"

Lin Manjiang's sharp eyes seemed to have a target. Qin Qing and Shangguan Jinnan looked at each other for a while and said, "Everyone, defend well in the fourth quarter. It's a foregone conclusion, do you understand!"

"Yes!" The players present responded in unison, and then walked out of the locker room one after another. Lan Lie stood in the corridor and looked at their figures, feeling restless for a long time: that kind of dependence that can make people feel extremely reliable Emanating from every player: a real basketball giant.When the players returned to the court, Xiaogan Middle School cheered happily. Shan Linfei held the basketball and said with a sly smile, "Heh, we are going to squeeze out the defending champion today."

"Don't worry." Liao Renhuang said calmly, wiping away his sweat, "The ace on the opposite side hasn't used his full strength to attack, and the MVP Shangguan Jinnan is our biggest problem... He has been observing us and the referee without making a move. We defended him with all our might, and the MVP was just a middle school kid."

Ye Hongyu nodded and said, "Trick him into fouling a few more times, we have a backstage."

"Hush..." Gao Taki patted Ye Hongyu and said, "Don't talk about it, boy! Mr. Zhou doesn't want to see us lose... If we can't win the defending champion, Mr. Zhou will be disappointed with us, and then go find someone else team!"

"En." Zheng Shangqing nodded and said, "This year, Xiangshan Middle School also hacked Lincheng No. [-] Middle School. It must have been arranged by Mr. Zhou... Otherwise, how could it be possible to win against Lin Cheng No. [-] Middle School with a bad team like Xiangshan Middle School."

"Don't worry." Liao Renhuang stood up and said relaxedly, "We have the highest expectations in the team that Mr. Zhou found. We have already hacked Phoenix No. [-] Middle School and entered the quarterfinals. Today's game was also planned by Mr. Zhou. To win the defending champion ... the fourth quarter was just for show."
