Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 41 N6 Alliance
The news of Nan'an's defeat to Dongsheng quickly became the top headline in the N6 Alliance's private QQ group.

A large number of people were typing question marks and frantically tagging Xue Yi’s QQ.

This group has more than 6 people. In the past ten years since the establishment of the N League, only team captains are eligible to join the group.

When several former captains of Nan'an saw that Xue Yi was not tagged, they posted animated pictures of themselves crying. Several of their enemies also rarely mocked them, but instead comforted them.

The group was extremely lively, with some people asking who Dongsheng had and how he could possibly eliminate Nan'an. One had to know that Yue Zang's strength had long been a consensus in the group.

There were also people who gloated and laughed, saying that Nan'an was eliminated in the N6 of the semi-finals. It was really like Wang Xiaoer's New Year, which was getting worse every year.

Several former captains of Nan'an immediately started scolding people, and the group was in chaos.

The system suddenly prompted that everyone was muted for one minute.

A minute later, the conversation returned to normal and the troublemaker remained silent.

Nickname—The horse that eats meat in the early morning: Is Yue Zang injured and can’t play?

Nickname—Gongwaiduhan: I know Dongsheng’s strength. Last year, they were beaten by No. 1 Middle School by more than 30 points.

More people joined the discussion, and finally, Xue Yi's reply came.

Sending phlegm in blood: Don’t guess anymore, you lose completely, Yue has hidden himself.

Former Nan'an captain Wang An (high above): Xiaoyi, what's going on?

Sending phlegm in blood: A master appeared in Dongsheng, but was defeated.

Gaogaozaishang: A master? He defeated all of you? Why does it sound so outrageous?
Blood in the Phlegm: Old captain, that’s true. It’s very impressive. You teams should be careful. Anyway, this year is over for Nan’an.

Niu Ben: Can you tell me in detail?

Sending phlegm in blood: You will know it when you encounter it. I am not in the mood and don’t want to recall it.

Gaogaozaishang: Zhang Ben, you’re trying to trick me into believing this. No way. Just cross the lake and you’ll have to face it yourself!

Seeing that Xue Yi didn't say anything, everyone in the group gave up the idea. This group has rules. If you want to share, you can, but if you don't want to, you can never be forced.

Because Nan'an was eliminated, the attention on Dongsheng suddenly increased, and there were more speculations about the upcoming draw.

While everyone was discussing this, many human resources were mobilized and the focus was on Dongsheng.

What kind of remarkable person came from Dongsheng became the biggest mystery.

Ten minutes later.

Flying Golden Pig: I found out, his name is Chen Fang, and he’s 177cm tall.

A group of people were asking questions, expressing that they had never heard of it before.

Flying Golden Pig: I'm asking about the Many-Eyed Demon, and the information is true.

Foot joke: The Multi-Eyed Demon, the information dealer from Nanyang? What about the video? How much is it? I'll buy it!

Flying Golden Pig: There is no video of the game. Dongsheng cleared the field in this game, and the two informants of the Multi-Eyed Demon had their DVs confiscated.

Niu Ben: So cruel? This must be helped by a master!

Seeing that there was no video, the topic turned back to height.

Foot joke: It's rare for someone with a height of 177cm to be so powerful.

Flying Golden Pig: The taller you are, the more outstanding your ability will be. As the saying goes, one trick is enough to conquer the world. Maybe this is how Nan'an lost.

Niu Ben: That cannot be said. It is certain that they underestimated the enemy. It can be seen from the way they cleared the area that Dongsheng was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

Then more people joined in, and the topic evolved from ball skills to certain techniques, and finally to the difficulties encountered recently.

Flying Golden Pig: Lao He, when will you join the first team?
Foot: Team one? We've already joined, the game is about to start, now we're training.

This immediately attracted a group of people, who came to congratulate him, but unexpectedly, a person named Tiantian jumped out and cooled the mood.

Sweet Shit: Congratulations to CUBA. Brother Tianze didn’t say a word when he joined the first team. Everyone should keep a low profile.

After several dozen seconds, someone broke the silence.

I want to hit ten: Zhang Tianze joined the first team? True or false, then can I bully him again?
As soon as this person spoke, he threw cesium into the water, causing it to explode.

Foot joke: Ye Da is out, oh my god, I have been in the group for three years and this is the first time I see the legendary Brother Ye.

Niu Ben: Master Ye, I grew up watching your videos...

Flying Golden Pig: Oh, today is our lucky day, Master Ye, please give me an autograph. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time!
More people jumped out to speak, the group became lively again, and the message box slid down like water.

The system prompts that ordinary members are prohibited from speaking.

I want to type ten: Thank you all brothers for your appreciation. I have been very busy with training recently and really don’t have time to come up and chat. Sorry, sorry.

Please close your eyes when it’s dark: Brother Ye, will there be food to eat next time you go to Shenzhen?
I want to play ten: No, I will play ten balls in a singles match and talk about it after I win.

Please close your eyes before it gets dark: Okay, I haven’t had a one-on-one duel with Brother Ye for a long time, I miss it…

Hei Shang: Xiao Ye is showing off again.

I want to hit ten: Damn, Lao Hei is out. I heard that you have set up a team now?

Heishang: Just because my legs are broken doesn’t mean I have to leave basketball. I’ll take some time to come to Hangzhou and take you to see the world.

I’d give it ten: Great, Mr. Hei is very generous.

Please close your eyes when it’s dark: Mr. Hei, I want to go too...

Hei Shang: Stand firm on your feet first, don’t dream too much, and you will get your benefits sooner or later.

Please close your eyes when it’s dark: I understand, I will try my best.

Heishang: I heard that there are several promising players in the past two years. Captains, please take care and train them well so as not to break the tradition. I hope that more brothers will become professional players in the future. If you have any difficulties, you can send me a private message.

System prompt: Speech ban lifted.

The current captain of the group immediately spoke up to make the pledge.

Hei Shang: You guys chat, looking forward to this year's league, come on.

With the departure of the super administrator, the big guys all went into hiding, and the smaller guys didn’t dare to chat much, and soon the group became quiet.

Shen Xing exited the group chat, thought for a moment, made a phone call, and the call was quickly connected.

"Brother Shen."

"Sun Yi, it's me."

"I know, what's the matter, Brother Shen?"

"I'm still worried about this point, and you're training again."

"Just finished training, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

"You are really something. You have already played a game today and you have to train at night without fail. Didn't you check the QQ group? Go check it out later. I have something to tell you. Nan'an was eliminated."

"Oh, by whom?"

"Dongsheng."

"Dongsheng? They're not very strong."

"There's a master named Chen Fang, he's 177cm tall, that's all I know." "I've never heard of him, but since he was able to eliminate Nan'an, he's definitely something special."

"Well, Xue Yi doesn't matter, but Yue Zang is pretty good. The fact that he can win shows that this person is very powerful. I'm worried."

"Brother Shen, I know what you want to say. It's going to happen eventually. Be prepared. It's better than anything else."

"You're right. I called you to remind you that if you encounter Dongsheng in the next round of the draw, get the information as soon as possible."

"I will. If I really get the chance, it won't be a bad thing. There is enough time."

"Enough time? Oh, look at my brain, you are the runner-up, and we will meet in the quarterfinals."

"There are some things I don't want to tell you too early, but I think now is an opportunity." Shen Xing paused for a moment: "This year is a good opportunity for you."

"There are two professional clubs in Shandong. Currently, both are interested in reorganizing their youth teams. They have opened a channel for talents from campuses. The assessment is based on the provincial league. Sun Yi, you have enough qualifications. What you need now is a stage."

"We must cherish this year. If we delay any further, the competitive pressure and assessment standards will be different."

"I understand, Brother Shen. I have been preparing." Sun Yi's voice was still calm.

"It's a pity that I didn't go professional. The age for improvement is these few years. You are 18 this year, which is already very dangerous according to the standards. You must seize this opportunity."

"Well, don't worry, this time, we will go to the provincial competition."

"Okay, but I still have to remind you again that N6 is well aware of this news. Yuehu and Taihu will not let the Affiliated Middle School and No. Middle School stay so comfortable."

"I understand. They are the invisible bosses, but nothing is absolute. See you on the field."

"Very good, just based on this courage, you are already at a professional level. Come on, Sun Yi, I look forward to the day when you step onto the professional field."

"I will."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xing felt indescribable feelings in his heart, a mixture of envy and emotion.

I shook my head. Tomorrow's training task is very heavy. I can't have any distractions. The real thing is to play CUBA well.

On the other side, next to the empty court, there was a steel bed. Sun Yi sat on the floor, looking quietly at the basketball hoop that he could vaguely see in the dim light.

He has to walk his own path.

No one can stop it.

Because, I am Sun Yi, the one who is destined to fly in the sky.

In a valley on the outskirts of Nanyang, car lights lit up on the winding road. It was an SUV that drove to the school gate. Soon, the gate opened and the car drove in.

He drove all the way to the dormitory building, then turned off the engine, turned on the headlights, and no one got out of the car, as if he was waiting for someone.

On the third floor, there was a dormitory with the lights still on. Inside the room, Yue Zang was sitting on the edge of the bed, silent.

Xue Yi was packing his luggage and asked if he needed to take this with him.

Qian Yong stood at the door, smoking silently.

"When you get there, just focus on training. The intensity there is higher and the coaches are more skilled. Don't think it's wrong. It's all part of the plan." Qian Yong said, his voice filled with fatigue.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Yue Zang's voice trembled slightly.

"Because there's no need. We all believe that you gave everything."

"From the moment you sign the contract, your training plan will be like this. It is impossible for you to be in a situation where you have no games to play. This is the easiest stage for you to improve. What you need is continuous competition."

"I don't want to leave. I don't want to be a deserter." Yue Zang shook his head stubbornly.

"This is not a deserter. If you stay here, you will have to wait another year before you have a chance to meet him."

"The car has arrived. Let's go. Xue Yi, you carry the luggage."

"coach."

Qian Yong looked into his beloved disciple's eyes, full of resentment.

"The road ahead is still long. Remember today, it is a treasure." Qian Yong was also a little choked up.

Yue Zang lowered his head, then slowly stood up. When he raised his head again, his eyes became clear.

I will always remember this day.

Walking to the door and looking at the dark corridor, as if it was the path he was going to take, Yue Zang took a deep breath.

Suddenly, the door next to him opened, and soon, one door after another opened, and all the teammates stood in the corridor.

They looked at Yue Zang silently, with reluctance and unwillingness in their eyes.

Yue Zang couldn't move his feet, but his coach Qian Yong pushed him from behind.

"Keep going, don't look back, and keep going like a true warrior."

Hands patted Yue Zang's shoulders. It seemed as if Yue Zang had walked a whole night to cover the distance of less than 30 meters.

At the elevator entrance, Xue Yi stood there, blocking the elevator door from closing.

Finally we arrived at the elevator, and intermittent sobbing sounds floated in the corridor.

Yue Zang didn't look back as he stepped into the elevator.

They soon reached the ground floor and the three of them walked to the front door.

The black SUV started up, and the rumbling sound of the engine could be heard from far away.

"When you arrive in the south, you must pay attention to removing dampness, combining work and rest, and doing rehabilitation and maintenance after each training session."

"Build good relationships with your new teammates, smile when talking to people, and pay attention to your attitude when meeting the coach." Qian Yong never tires of reminding.

The luggage was put into the trunk and the car door was opened. Yue Zang stood beside the car and paused for a moment. He looked back at the coach and the captain. The corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything in the end. He lowered his head and got in.

The car started, and the red taillights gradually disappeared in the night.

The master and disciple stood there for a long time without moving.

"Can he gain a foothold there?"

"Yes, his conditions and will are much better than those of ordinary professional players."

"I'm lucky to be his coach for a year. I should say I'm very happy to be your coach."

"Coach, don't comfort me. I know we are different."

"Go back and have a good rest tomorrow."

"Yeah. Coach, go back."

After sending the coach away, Xue Yi returned to the dormitory alone. When he closed the door, the feeling of silence and loneliness suddenly came over him.

Tears flowed silently.

Xue Yi curled up on the bed, crying heart-wrenchingly.

Tonight, for the losers, is destined to be a night that will be remembered for the rest of their lives.
