Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 49 Your profile is the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen
"I remember the first time I met you, I asked you who was the strongest in Nanyang, and you blurted out the word 'Wu'."

Sun Lexian did not deny it and answered readily: "Yes, I have collected Wu Zhen's videos before, and my judgment is that he is the strongest."

"Who's the second one?"

"Sun Yi, then Bai Ye."

"Who do you think will win, Sun Yi + Yan Zhen from the Affiliated High School vs. Sheng Zhi and Bai Ye from the First High School?"

Sun Lexian said without hesitation: "No. 1 Middle School."

"why?"

"One inside and one outside is always better than two outside shooters. Because the combination of inside and outside is 1+1 greater than 2, while other combinations have too much instability."

"There will be distribution of ball possession, overlapping tactics, and many, many problems. Even if there is a tacit understanding at the moment, there will always be conflicts of interest and power, and it won't last long."

Chen Fang listened carefully. He recalled all the powerful combinations in the NBA in the next ten years, and all of them verified Sun Lexian's words.

This guy is indeed very advanced in terms of cognition and knowledge.

"This is a beautiful ball!" Sun Lexian applauded and cheered.

Turning his attention back to the court, Chen Fang asked, "What's the score?"

"3:2, Yuehu is leading."

You can't blame Chen Fang for not concentrating, but for the half-court, there really isn't much technical skill involved. If he had known it was a three-on-three situation, he wouldn't have run over.

But having said that, the duel between Wu Zhen and Bai Ye is very eye-catching.

Wu Zhen's dribbling is rhythmic, his dragging and levitation are very smooth, and he will rush to the basket after breaking through.

After receiving the ball on the outside, he will pull up or make an emergency stop through three threats.

His playing style is open, bold and clean.

On the other hand, Bai Ye is more delicate and has many dribbling styles, or to put it bluntly, he is sticky to the ball.

He scores by shooting half court shots with a little fade away and drift.

Compared to them, the helpers brought by Bai Ye were slightly inferior. Qin Wei alone could intimidate two people. As long as Wu Zhen passed the ball to the inside, Qin Wei could score.

Qin Wei basically dribbled the ball with both hands, then took a step and put the ball into the basket facing the frame. This aggressive style of play made Chen Fang envious.

If this Qin Wei was from Dongsheng, then there would be no difficulty at all. If you feel a little tired, you can just give the ball to him and let him recover secretly.

Because the two sides were exchanging serves, the score difference was not big, Bai Ye's singles could be left here, and Wu Zhen couldn't defend them all.

Chen Fang asked: "What do you think of their defense?"

"They're all average. Their slides are perfunctory, and they like to use their hands. This is a typical sign of poor defense."

The score came to 9-7 amid the cheers of the onlookers.

Bai Ye held the ball, dribbled between his legs continuously, and suddenly shot from the three-point line.

The ball hit the frame and went wide, and was caught by Jiao Yun. Although he was thin, his jumping speed was very fast. Unfortunately, facing Qin Wei's physical confrontation, his second attack still went wide.

Qin Wei grabbed the rebound and passed it to Wu Zhen on the outside.

The whole audience suddenly fell silent, and many people realized that it was a critical moment.

Wu Zhen grabbed the ball with one hand and waved with the other hand, signaling everyone to go away.

Bai Ye kept a distance of two meters from him. This distance was not good for defending shots, but was effective in defending breakthroughs. Wu Zhen had scored all the previous points by breakthroughs.

Driving the ball slowly, Wu Zhen approached Bai Ye, while Bai Ye retreated according to Wu Zhen's rhythm.

The ball suddenly jumped up, and Bai Ye was caught off guard and didn't even have time to reach out his hands.

Turning his head to watch the ball go in, he heard Wu Zhen say coldly, "Who told you I don't have a three-pointer?"

"Come on, a one-on-one match with ten balls!"

Bai Ye regained his composure.

Five minutes later, Bai Ye was kneeling on the ground, almost exhausted. The young men from No. 1 Middle School were all trembling and they lowered their heads in humiliation.

Chen Fang in the stands explained the reason why Bai Ye lost.

"One-on-one combat is the most unskillful thing."

"Because the first thing to consider is height and strength, not technique."

"Of course, if it's an American one-on-one game with five seconds and three dribbles, technique comes first."

"There are only ten serve changes like this, so there are big loopholes. Wu Zhen's strength and height are all superior to Bai Ye. He can just back-up and crush the opponent. Bai Ye has no way to deal with it."

"On the contrary, when Bai Ye plays against Wu Zhen, he needs to use more explosiveness to score, which consumes a lot of energy on defense, and the offense also needs to work harder. To be honest, it's really good that he can hold on until now after ten service changes."

"Wu Zhen is a very smart player." Chen Fang made the final comment.

Wu Zhen ignored Bai Ye. He returned to the stands, panting slightly. Lu Yun jumped off the stands with some disappointment and said to him, "I thought it was going to be exciting. I'm so disappointed."

"Me too, a little disappointed that he can't beat you." Wu Zhen said.

"Of course I know this. This time last year, I didn't even look at him straight in the eye." Lu Yun sneered.

"What are your plans? This year is almost over."

Wu Zhen's sudden question made Lu Yun silent. He did not answer immediately, but leaned on the stand with his hands behind his back.

"I've actually given up on basketball."

Wu Zhen was wiping the sweat off his body. He was not surprised to hear this. He just said, "I'll share my insights with you."

“If you think you can be happy doing something, then stick to it. Otherwise, you should give up.”

"Think about it for yourself."

After saying this, Wu Zhen returned to the court.

"Let's keep practicing!" he shouted to everyone.

"Yes!" A group of young men from Yuehu shouted. Defeating Bai Ye was nothing. Their goal was the entire province and the entire country.

"Let's go." Chen Fang in the stands watched Bai Ye and his group leave in a hurry. He couldn't tell whether this time's harvest was much or little.

He didn't feel any gloating over Bai Ye's complete defeat, and it was also a fact that Wu Zhen didn't reveal all his cards.

I met a group of people, I don’t know whether they are good or bad.

In short, Chen Fang just wanted to get back to school as soon as possible and prepare for the elimination match with the affiliated high school the day after tomorrow.

"Why are you leaving?" Wu Zi stopped him.

This condescending look and attitude always makes people uncomfortable. Chen Fang said, "After reading it, if I don't leave, do I have to wait for you to treat me to a meal?"

"Okay, please."

It was Chen Fang's turn to be stunned. He shook his head and said, "I'm not worthy of this. Bye!"

After saying that, he jumped off the stands and hurried away.

"Wu Zhen!" Wu Zi's shout attracted the attention of many people.

Because they are twins, a boy and a girl, the brother and sister call each other by their first names.

Wu Zi didn't say anything, but pointed at Chen Fang and looked at his brother.

Without waiting for Wu Zhen to say anything, the other teenagers stopped Chen Fang.

Xue Yi stood up immediately but was stopped by Lu Yun.

"Don't worry, buddy."

"You!" Xue Yi was a little angry.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Lu Yun said.

Chen Fang could only turn around and look at Wu Zi.

This crazy girl blamed herself for acting on impulse and now she is in trouble.

I thought Wu Zi would tell Wu Zhen about how he teased her, but Wu Zi just jumped off the stands and came to Chen Fang.

"Let's go." He walked out first. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Fang couldn't lose his temper, so he could only pretend to be calm and follow.

Seeing his sister taking a boy away, Wu Zhen didn't seem to react. He just waved his hand and said, "Go on."

Sun Lexian stared at the scene blankly, his mouth trembling for a long time, and he couldn't utter a word.

Why, buddy, you just abandoned me?

Walking side by side with the beauty was like walking on the red carpet, with the feeling of being the center of attention. However, Chen Fang was not in a hurry and walked leisurely.

When they got to the street, Wu Zi pointed to Binjiang Road across the street and said, "I want to get some fresh air."

Can I still refuse?
At this time, the sky was still blue, the river was to the west, and the sunset glow and afterglow made the high-rise buildings in the new city look like a golden city. The wind blew gently, bringing with it the slightly fishy smell of river water.

Wu Zi was beside him, and everything was so beautiful that Chen Fang couldn't help but feel intoxicated.

Wu Zi had been observing Chen Fang and noticed that he was very relaxed, his eyes frequently gazing at the scenery. This made her a little unsure. Chen Fang gave her the feeling of being close yet distant, like a kite—you could see and feel him, but there was always a fear that the string would break at any moment.

It has to be admitted that as a person who has been sought after since childhood and has received so many expressions of love and admiration from people, Wu Zi has no idea how to control someone like Chen Fang.

But this does not conflict with the plan she is going to implement now.

"Do you see that pier?" Wu Zi suddenly pointed to the pier-like pier extending from the river embankment not far away.

"I like to go there every time before I go home." After saying that, Wu Zi waved to Chen Fang, then trotted towards there.

What does this woman want to do?

It's impossible that you like me too.

Chen Fang didn't think he was that handsome, but seeing Wu Zi had already run over, he couldn't let down his momentum, so he chased after him.

There is a stone staircase leading down, and at the end of the staircase is an iron gate.

"Unfortunately, it's locked." Chen Fang was actually a little disappointed.

"No, I come here every day. This door is just half-closed, not locked." Wu Zi said as he walked down the stairs and pushed the iron door open.

"Come in." Wu Zi waved at him with a smile on her face.

Facing Wu Zi's beautiful smile, Chen Fang always felt that something was wrong, but it was difficult to refuse at this time, so he gritted his teeth and walked forward.

"This door is quite high." Chen Fang went in and looked around, and found that the door was welded to the plank road, and the two sides were expanded outward, apparently to prevent people from going around the edge and into the plank road.

"Over there on the plank road, people often put cages. Let's go over and take a look." Wu Zi walked forward on his own.

"Hey, this plank road is a bit narrow, please be careful."

"It's okay, I walk every day."

What kind of medicine is this woman selling?

Chen Fang was very careful and kept his distance from Wu Zi.

The plank road was about one and a half times as long as a basketball court, and Wu Zi's long legs reached the end in just a few steps.

"It's true, come quickly!" Wu Zi squatted there and waved happily at Chen Fang.

There were guardrails on both sides of the plank road, so Chen Fang was not worried about being pushed off, so he walked over despite being urged.

There is a rope tied to the guardrail. It is the dry season now and the water level only covers half the height of the pier. Chen Fang grabbed the guardrail, slowly leaned over and looked down, muttering to himself: Don't really push it, otherwise I will really get angry.

This woman is not that crazy.

With several thoughts in his mind, Chen Fang finally saw that the other end of the rope was tied to a narrow-mouthed, fat-bellied fish basket, floating on the water, and he could vaguely see something moving inside.

It really does.

"Help me pull it up!"

"No, this belongs to someone else, be careful not to get caught."

"No, they don't come so early. They come after six or seven o'clock."

"Will you help me or not? If not, I'll do it myself." Seeing that Chen Fang didn't move, Wu Zi was about to do it himself.

"Hey, I'm scared of you. Let me do it." Chen Fang grabbed the rope and pulled it up little by little.

The fish basket was lifted up, and Chen Fang took a closer look. There were a few small fish, as well as shrimps and crabs crawling inside.

"Pour it out quickly and pour it back into the water." Wu Zi said again.

"What?" Chen Fang was stunned.

"Release them, quickly." Wu Zi stomped his feet and urged.

"But this belongs to someone else." Chen Fang didn't quite understand. Just as he was hesitating, Wu Zi snatched it away and poured it directly into the river.

"I'll come when I'm free, and save as much as I can."

Chen Fang finally understood, and the softest part deep in his heart trembled inexplicably.

From this angle, you can see Wu Zi's profile. At this moment, the setting sun finally squeezed out half of her profile from the densely packed high-rise buildings. Suddenly, the entire Nanyang River was bathed in golden light, and the river surface was covered with golden scales, and the reflected light also shone on Wu Zi's cheek.

Chen Fang was stunned.

This was the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen in his two lifetimes.

"What are you daydreaming about? Help me quickly, there are two more over there." Wu Zi suddenly found that Chen Fang was staring at him stupidly, and he couldn't help feeling a little angry.

Chen Fang collected his thoughts and, in a daze, poured the fish and shrimp in the other two fish baskets back into the water.

"Click." Suddenly hearing the sound of a camera, Chen Fang turned his head and saw Wu Zi taking a picture of him with her cell phone.

"what?"

"Keep it as a souvenir. You have done something meaningful."

"Really?" Chen Fang didn't think so.

"Since you performed well, I forgive you. Also, I'll give you a reward." Wu Zi was very satisfied with Chen Fang's attitude just now. He was rarely well-behaved.

"award?"

Chen Fang took a step back without saying a word, leaning against the railing and asked curiously.

"Let me give you a show."

"Fashion show? The kind that's on a catwalk?" Chen Fang became interested. He looked at the surroundings and found that the pier was like a natural catwalk.

"Of course, I am the future Super Model. Just sit here quietly and appreciate the grace of this young lady." Wu Zi turned around and instructed.

Even though she was not wearing a skirt today, Chen Fang felt the charm of turning around.

"Anjing, right? I understand." Chen Fang took a deep breath. With Wu Zi's figure and temperament, modeling is indeed the most suitable career choice for her.

"I'll go over first and get ready." Wu Zi walked towards the distance with light steps and elegant posture.

Chen Fang smiled, but after a few seconds, the smile gradually disappeared. He saw Wu Zi seemed to be running and instinctively realized that something was wrong.

When Chen Fang saw Wu Zi walk through the iron gate and then slam the door shut, he woke up as if from a dream.

"Crazy woman, you're trying to trick me!" Chen Fang ran to the iron gate and pulled it hard, but found that it didn't move at all.

"Let me dance for you, are you worthy enough? Are you worthy enough?" Wu Zi's proud voice came from behind the door.

"You put in so much effort in acting just to lock me up?" Chen Fang said angrily.

"Not only am I locking you up, but you also spilled other people's fish and shrimp, so prepare to get a beating." Wu Zi became more and more proud as he thought about it, and let out a strange cry.

"Crazy woman, I really believed your nonsense, damn it!" Chen Fang was furious when he heard it. No wonder he took the photo, he was fooled.

"Bye, reflect on yourself, why did you offend me, hum!" Wu Zi was happy both physically and mentally, listening to Chen Fang's roar that broke his defense, and hummed a little tune as he jumped up the stairs.

She walked forward a few meters and stood on the riverbank with her hands on her hips. From this angle, she could see Chen Fang behind the door.

"Let the river breeze blow." Wu Zi raised his middle finger and walked away.

Looking at the missing Wu Zi, Chen Zhang stood on the plank road speechlessly, feeling quite sad as if he had been defeated in Maicheng.

"Monday, wait!"

Chen Fang swore through gritted teeth.
