Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 35: Champion's Opening Remarks
"This is Dongsheng. It's nice. The greenery and the big trees." The Nan'an team members looked around through the car window.

"When we get to the stadium, warm up directly. Remember, this is an away game." Xue Yi was fulfilling his duties as captain.

At the Dongsheng Stadium, people have started to enter the stands, and classes are filling in the stands in a square formation.

"Students at the back, wait a minute. Let the team go in first." A teacher was maintaining order.

"Let's go." Qian Yong led the team inside.

"Wow, this stadium is really nice. It's so big."

“A stand this high?”

His teammates started talking about it, and Qian Yong's heart sank slightly. If such a high stand was filled with people, the atmosphere would be particularly strong.

This away game is a bit difficult.

He glanced at Xue Yi, who immediately understood and scolded: "Shut up, have you never seen the world?"

Nan'an suddenly became quiet and quickly came to the area designated as the away game, put down their luggage, took off their shoes, put on their game shoes and other preparations.

On the other side was the South Stand, the best seat, which was already occupied by senior students. The ball game was one of the few ways to relieve stress and relax.

All 15 classes of senior year were present. Therefore, the South Stand was the place where one could most directly feel the momentum.

It is like a red and white wall, standing tall, crowded with people, and intimidating at first glance.

Qian Yong gasped when he saw it. The planner and builder of this stadium must have great ambitions and plans.

Looking back at the entrance, people were pouring out continuously and the stands on all sides were gradually filling up.

Only Yue Zang had a blank expression on his face. He held the ball and went on the court to warm up.

"Stop being in a daze and hurry up." Qian Yong finally couldn't help it and shouted.

On Dongsheng's side, under the organization of Yue Gang, they were doing stretching warm-up exercises. Everyone stood in two neat rows and did marching warm-up exercises mainly focusing on the hip joints. Compared with Nan'an's uneasiness, Dongsheng's pressure was actually greater, because any mistake would be remembered and publicized in front of their classmates.

Chen Fang had already seen his classmates. They were on the east side of the stands, close to the lower side of the rostrum. When they saw Chen Fang looking at them, Wang Zhen and others stood up and waved.

To be honest, Chen Fang also felt pressured. After all, it was his first time playing in front of his classmates.

"Focus on warming up, don't look at the stands." Yue Gang shouted. Having competed in the league for three years, he was more experienced in this regard. At this moment, Yue Gang had no hesitation before the game and stared solemnly.

There was a sudden commotion in the stands. The school leaders had arrived, and along with them came three referees.

Chen Fang suddenly remembered something and came to Yue Gang's side: "Can you mobilize the students to prohibit filming and videotaping?"

Yue Gang immediately understood what Chen Fang meant and nodded: "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have really forgotten it."

Then he called out a few names to the stands and whispered something to them. Soon, more people began to flow towards the stands.

"Don't worry, I'll ask them to patrol and inquire if they see any cell phones or cameras. This game will not be recorded."

A group of dark and strong students appeared at the entrance, led by Teacher Zhao, whom I had met once. He brought the physical education class to watch the game.

"Teacher, who is Chen Fang?" asked the guy with a crew cut who was following Teacher Zhao.

"Xu Yi, the number 21."

"It looks very ordinary!" Xu Yi was a little disappointed.

As a sports student, unless it is a basketball specialty, other subjects are strictly prohibited from playing basketball, and those caught will be punished. As a basketball enthusiast, Xu Yi has always wanted to join the school team.

Ever since he heard from Teacher Zhao that there was a person with excellent physical fitness in the school team, Xu Yi had been paying attention to him. This time, he came just to see what was so good about this person.

"Everyone go to the stands, don't stand at the entrance." Teacher Zhao led the physical education class to a higher place. At this time, the highest point of the stands was still under direct sunlight, and no students were willing to go there.

For sports students, they simply ignore the scorching sun as their dark skin has long made them numb.

Being at a high place also had the advantage of overlooking the whole place with an excellent perspective. Soon Xu Yi was surprised. He pulled the teacher's sleeve and said, "Teacher, Nan'an is so fierce!"

I was talking about Yue Zang. The sleeveless jersey could not hide his knife-like muscle lines. His thick thighs were a symbol of strength in the eyes of sports students.

Teacher Zhao also noticed it. He didn't know the reason, but he just felt very sorry.

"It's a shame to play basketball with this body!" He shook his head and sighed.

"This body looks very strong!" Xu Yi said to his best friend Zhang Dong.

"Everyone can play basketball, hey!" Zhang Dong also likes basketball, but he has no choice but to give it up in order to get into college.

On the court, Xue Yi was very excited. He found that there were many beautiful women in Dongsheng, and he immediately became excited. He turned the layup into a dunk, and with a "bang", the basket made a loud noise.

"Oh!" There was a sudden exclamation from the stands.

Dongsheng noticed this, and Xue Chong sneered: "Tsk, it seems like we can't deduct points, Captain, let's deduct a few points too to boost morale."

"Just button it, you're so handsome!" Yue Gang spoke but glanced at Chen Fang, who continued to move his joints as if nothing had happened.

So, Xue Chong appeared on the scene alone against the four dunkers from Nan'an.

After several empty confrontations, the atmosphere in the stadium gradually heated up. The shouts drifted out of the stadium and could be heard in most of the campus, attracting more students to come.

"Dunk!" The students' eager shouts rang out from the stands.

"Captain, I can't do it anymore!" Xue Chong was sweating profusely and asked Yue Gang for help.

At this time, they couldn't stop, which would hurt the morale. Yue Gang had no choice but to board this pirate ship.

After slowing down, Xue Chong said to Yang Shan and Huang Jian in a frustrated tone, "You two scumbags can't help me!"

"Fuck, you want me to embarrass myself? The most I can do is touch the rim. I'm still half a palm away from a dunk."

"Oh!" Suddenly there was a cry of surprise in the stadium, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Nanan's No. 1 player pulling the frame hard with one arm and falling down.

"What happened?" Xue Chong asked.

"Just now, No. 1 did a windmill buckle and turned the windmill with one arm." Hu Fei saw it and explained stutteringly. You know, it was the first time in his life that he saw a windmill buckle in real life.

Yue Gang couldn't dunk anymore. He stood there, holding the ball with one hand, with a grim expression on his face.

Compare goods before throwing them away.

Yue Gang and Xue Chong can only do the most ordinary dunk, one-handed or two-handed. If they want more tricks, their jumping ability won't be able to support it.

Just when the whole team was stunned, No. 1 took the ball and gave another performance that shocked the whole audience.

Fold-over back clasp.

"Fuck! Is this that Yue Zang?" Xue Chong felt the blood rushing to his head.

Yue Gang did not answer. This relative of Xue Chong was more powerful than he had imagined.

"That's right!" Xue Yi pushed Yue Zang hard, his face full of excitement.

Yue Zang was very calm: "Captain, that's enough."

"Perfect! You've completely defeated the opponent. If we win, you'll be the first to win!"

Time goes back to two minutes ago. When Dongsheng jumped out to fight, Xue Yi had an idea.

"Yue Zang, go and take a few."

"In no mood!"

"We have to dunk. This is also a way to help the team." Yue Zang was silent. What rang in his ears was the cheers for the home team from the stands. With each dunk, the sound became louder and louder.

"I understand." Yue Zang grabbed the ball with one hand and walked to the outside.

He took two shots in a row, took a step, and pushed off as soon as his feet touched the ground. He hooked the basketball with his right hand, made a semi-circle, looked at the slanted basket, straightened his waist and abdomen, and smashed it hard.

Finally, he grabbed the basket and fell to the ground.

After the exclamation from the stands, there was a quick silence.

Just as the captain said, it works!
On Dongsheng's side, after Yue Zang's performance, even layups seemed boring and the whole team became demoralized.

"That's called dunking during a competition." Chen Fang suddenly spoke.

"Don't be so fragile, keep shooting." Chen Fang glanced coldly at Yue Zang who was not far away.

I'll deal with you later.

Now, after the return of his jump shot, Chen Fang's confidence has reached a new level. He himself suffered from his thin body, and he did not dare to perform many technical moves. His playing style was also very limited, making it difficult for him to face complex games.

It is precisely because of this that we try every possible means to strengthen our teammates and instill tactics in an attempt to cover up our flaws through the team.

Now, in addition to his height and strength, his delicate and rich skills have returned to more than 80%, enough to face strong enemies.

Dudu!

The referee blew the first whistle before the game, which indicated that there were only three minutes left in the game.

The players from both teams shook hands to ease the tension. Chen Fang shook hands with everyone in turn and stopped at Yue Zang.

"You did a good job just now. I'll give it back to you later."

Yue Zang's expression changed from confusion to amusement, but unfortunately, Chen Fang had already let go of his hand and walked away.

21 number.

Yue Zang remembered this face.

Xue Yi next to him didn't care at all. He heard it clearly and said to Yue Zang, "Just ignore it. It's all a trick."

"But you have to be careful that the other side may use cannon fodder to kill you."

Yue Zang pursed his lips, his eyes cold.

"But I'm not worried. Dongsheng has no idea that your strongest weapon is your body!"

Back on the bench, Chen Fang began to arrange the starting lineup.

"Yue Gang, Xue Chong, Huang Jian, Wen Hui, Yang Shan. The five of you will start. We don't need a center. We need to play according to the tactics. Yue Gang, Wen Hui, the two of you will play inside and hold on first."

"Don't worry!" Wen Hui assured. This scene was very important. Friends, classmates and teachers were all watching. She couldn't embarrass herself in any way.

"Give me a few minutes, I'll observe Nan'an's weaknesses." Chen Fang explained why he didn't attack first.

"It's still you three who keep score and data." After giving instructions, Chen Fang instructed the row of stands behind the substitutes' bench. This is where the second team is arranged to sit so that the first and second teams can integrate seamlessly.

"He Lang, Hu Fei, Xia Wen, keep warming up. You may have to go on stage in a few minutes."

"Liu Feng, your appearance will be very fragmented, and you will have to go up and down constantly, so don't complain."

"Absolutely not. I know what I want to do." Liu Feng nodded. Before the game, Chen Fang specifically looked for him and told him that he would use him as a tactical chess piece.

"Get ready!" Chen Fang walked to the center of the court, came to the center circle, and called for the players.

The nine people from Dongsheng quickly surrounded Chen Fang, put their hands together and formed a circle, with Chen Fang standing in the middle.

"This is the first time we have practiced the death lineup. It must not be easy. We must be firm no matter what the situation. The fourth quarter is our time. We must have this belief."

Yue Gang stretched out his hand and placed it on Chen Fang's shoulder. Then, all the team members put their hands on Chen Fang.

"Come on, let's get started and show everyone our Dongsheng momentum!"

Nine pairs of eyes were fixed on Chen Ran.

Chen Fang bowed his head in silence at first, then like a volcano erupting, he raised his head and roared to the sky: "Dongsheng!"

"Charge!" the nine people roared.

"Dongsheng!"

"Charge!" The shout shook the whole audience.

"Dongsheng!"

"Charge!" All ten people who were jumping up and down let go, jumped back, and shouted in unison towards the sky.

The whole audience was shocked.

Back to last night when the pre-race meeting was over, Chen Fang was pushing his bicycle out of school to go home, but was stopped by the security guard, Old Liu.

"Did you know that Dongsheng was once the champion of Nanyang?" asked the old man.

"Yes, you definitely don't know how many years it has been. Thirty years ago, I just came to Dongsheng. That year, the school team won the championship for the first time. The whole school was shocked. The old principal was very happy and gave me a pack of Taishan cigarettes."

"It's been a long time since I won the championship, haha." The old man sighed, looking very hesitant.

"I have a request that I hope you can help me fulfill. I...I want to watch the school team's opening speech again."

"It's very simple, actually. One person stands in the middle, and the others surround him. Then the person in the middle shouts 'Dongsheng', and the others shout 'Go', and then they jump up together. It's really exciting!" The old man's eyes were full of memories, and Chen Fang understood. That was his remembrance of his youth.

"I'm old enough to retire this year, and I really want to see it again." Old man Liu's cloudy eyes turned red.

So, there is this scene now.

There were more than 5,000 people in the stadium, but no one noticed that at the entrance, Old Man Liu clenched his fists tightly. He was trembling all over, and suddenly raised his hands high and shouted, "Dongsheng, charge!"

The old voice was like a fuse. It was sparse at first, but after a few seconds, it turned into a uniform wave of sound.

Five thousand people, including the teacher on the rostrum, couldn't help but shout: "Dongsheng, charge!"

Qi Jianzhong couldn't stop his body from shaking. This shout made the memories that had been buried for a long time pop up in his mind.

That year, he came to report as a new teacher. He saw this scene and heard this fearless shout in this stadium.

In a blink of an eye, thirty years have passed!

Dongsheng, long time no see!

"Dongsheng, Dongsheng, Dongsheng!" The shouts were like drums, one after another.

Chen Fang felt his blood burning.

"I changed my mind."

Looking at the whole team who were equally excited, Chen Fang said resolutely: "I think we must not let the students see us falling behind. We must win from the beginning to the end."

Dudu!

The whistle is calling.

"I'll play first!" Chen Fang was the first to step onto the court.

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! I wish all my fellow readers and golfers success on the golf course, good health, and well-being to your family!
