Chapter 90 V.116: Youth and Youth
"You didn't follow your own wishes." Shangguan Jinnan sat on the bench and said casually, "There is no one else here. Tell me what you really think, Lie."

Faced with Shangguan Jinnan's unimaginable question and answer, Lan Lie was dumbfounded: Why did this heroic star player in front of him see through his heart at a glance?Do you want to answer and give him your real thoughts?

Lan Lie stood there dumbfounded and fell silent. Shangguan Jinnan stood up slowly and held a basketball in his hand and handed it in front of him. His movements were so graceful.Lan Lie couldn't believe his emotions. He involuntarily put his hand on the basketball and looked up at Shangguan Jinnan.

"You want to play basketball, right?"

Shangguan Jinnan asked kindly, Lan Lie couldn't suppress his inner emotions and nodded vigorously, stretched out his hand to take the basketball tightly in his hand and said bravely: "Yes! I want to play basketball...I, I want to play basketball with you! Senior Shangguan!"

"It's still early." Shangguan Jinnan pulled the wristband of his left hand to signal the quiet indoor basketball court and said, "Let's play basketball together, Lie."

"Okay!" Lan Lie was full of joy, hugging the basketball and walked towards the court excitedly. He dribbled the ball several times in a row and hadn't felt the touch of basketball for a long time. He immediately accelerated from outside the three-point line and went straight to the basket. The two-step jump was extremely exciting, and the slam dunk that jumped up was thunderous!
"Excellent bouncing." Shangguan Jinnan applauded at the back court, Lan Lie was very excited, "Lie, how tall are you?"

"183 centimeters!" Lan Lie raised his hand to signal, Shangguan Jinnan nodded and said: "Our heights are almost the same, I know how much effort you put in to complete the dunk... Lie, you like basketball very much, don't you?"

"Yes." Lan Lie nodded, "Senior Shangguan is the same, right?"

Shangguan Jinnan smiled and picked up the basketball on the ground and passed it to Lan Lie. Instead of answering his question, he pulled the cuff of his left hand and said, "Lie, let me see your basketball skills."

Oh my god... Lan Lie was stunned after receiving Shangguan Jinnan's pass and listening to his words. He, whom he admired in his heart, even directly issued a one-on-one challenge.Lan Lie hesitated several times while dribbling the ball on the spot, Shangguan Jinnan slightly bent his body and said, "Don't be too restrained, Lie, just show your true level."

"it is good!"

Lan Lie cheered himself up and began to speed up the rhythm of dribbling. At a short distance of one meter away from Shangguan Jinnan, he suddenly started to move to the left. Shangguan Jinnan opened his hand vigilantly to block it very quickly. While this action was in progress, Shangguan Jinnan's bold hand shot directly broke his dribble!

Lan Lie was very surprised when Shangguan Jinnan intercepted the ball with his bare hands. Just now he tried to make a fake breakthrough to gain a chance, but he was caught out. Lan Lie picked up the basketball and launched an attack again. This time, he accelerated from a distance and went directly to the right Shangguan Jinnan skillfully took a step back and stretched out his hand to block. Lan Lie approached him from the side and stepped into the three-point line to break through, but the opponent had no defensive loopholes. No ball scored.

"Ah!" Lan Lie was very nervous. Shangguan Jinnan picked up the basketball and patted it on the spot twice before saying, "Lie, your basic basketball skills are very good, but you lack some thoughts and ideas."

"Yes!" Lan Lie immediately agreed, because he himself knew his basketball background very well, Shangguan Jinnan dribbled the ball and walked slowly outside the three-point line and said: "This time I will attack, are you ready? "

"Okay...Okay!" Lan Lie raised his sleeves and bent his body to defend. Shangguan Jinnan dribbled the ball from the outside of the three-point line and broke through twice. Lan Lie just stepped forward to block him, only to see him retreat and change hands The dribble turned sharply and went straight down to the right. Lan Lie was taken aback and stopped when the ball passed. Shangguan Jinnan stepped into the penalty area and made a three-step layup and scored the ball very easily.

"It's so strong!" Lan Lie turned around and looked at the ball in the net in amazement. Shangguan Jinnan turned to look at him and said, "Lie, you must always remember one thing. Basketball is a sport for five people. No matter how strong an individual is, he must learn to observe the environment." .”

Lan Lie agreed with him and nodded, Shangguan Jinnan passed the basketball to him again and said: "It's still early, let's continue to attack and defend a few times!"

"En! Thank you, Senior Shangguan!" Lan Lie was very happy in his heart. His lost heart seemed to be activated and his fighting spirit was ignited. Every time Lan Lie was singled out in offense and defense, he would go to a higher level and be able to compete with Shangguan Jinnan. Playing alone together, he felt very happy.

As time passed day by day, Lan Lie, a freshman in high school, joined the basketball team of the High School Affiliated to the Municipal University, but he was not notified of being selected as an official player. After the training camp one day, Lan Lie finally couldn't suppress his inner doubts and came to the basketball team office.

"Please... Excuse me!" Lan Lie walked to the sofa and coffee table beside the desk, looked at the two official basketball players chatting in front of him and asked, "When can I become an official member of the basketball team?"

"..." The two senior students in front of me looked at each other, and one of the tall students asked, "Qin, he is Lan Lie, right?"

"Yes." Basketball player Qin Qing stood up and walked to Lan Lie's side and asked, "Lan Lie, why are you here? The selection of the official team has not yet been decided, just wait for a few more days!"

"Please tell me!?" Lan Lie was very anxious, "I know I'm just an ordinary student, I have no special relationship...and I haven't won any awards in competitions; I just want to play basketball with you, I don't want to keep Sit on the sidelines and watch... please!"

What Lan Lie said was surprising. The senior student gave Qin Qing a wink. Qin Qing patted Lan Lie on the shoulder to signal him to leave the office. After arriving in the basketball court, Qin Qing asked, "Who asked you to ask?" Is it the Shangguan?"

"No, it's not!" Lan Lie shook his head in a panic and said, "I couldn't help but ask... Could you please tell me the result? Do the three official players selected have my place?"

Qin Qing looked at Lan Lie's questioning attitude and thought for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid not."

"Why... why!" Lan Lie's premonition finally came true, Qin Qing leaned against the wall of the basketball court and asked, "Lan Lie, you have no background, you are just an ordinary student, and you have never passed Competition awards... Your qualifications are too poor compared to others. Our municipal high school basketball team is a strong basketball team released by the news media. It is impossible for an ordinary student like you to join the queue of official players. "

"Please..." Lan Lie was completely desperate after hearing Qin Qing's words, "Please don't give up on me!"

Qin Qing went on to say: "However, your basketball skills are not bad, so you should be qualified to stay on the basketball team... Although you are not a regular player, I can see that you have great respect for Shangguan." Lan Lie nodded vigorously, Qin Qing stretched out her hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lan Lie, how about you stay on the basketball team as Shangguan's training companion?"
