Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 70 Riding the Wind and Waves
Sparks flew when Chen Fang and Guo Tianzhen fought for the first time.

Guo Tianzhen said he was afraid, but when he got on the court, he took the initiative to attack.

Chen Fang dribbled the ball across the center line, and Guo Tianzhen took small steps to meet him. Seeing Chen Fang change direction and accelerate, he immediately slid inside. He chose to defend him, keeping a distance of one meter between them, giving himself extra time to react.

Coupled with his superior arm span, Chen Fang's tried and tested escape method was immediately ineffective.

Chen Fang stepped under his crotch, switched the ball to his left hand, connected with an inside-outside dribble, stabilized Guo Tianzhen's center of gravity, and then made a strong breakthrough with an inside cut.

But Guo Tianzhen was prepared. The one-meter distance he left gave him enough time to react. In addition, with his height of 194cm and wingspan of 208cm, he was able to catch up with the opponent after being broken through and stayed in front of him.

And the two bodies made their first contact. Guo Tianzhen's strong body caused Chen Fang's movement to change from vertical to outward. If he hadn't been good at playing the ball, he would have made a mistake and lost the ball.

Chen Fang continued to carry the ball back and then stepped back, avoiding being cut while also widening the distance between them.

The two were one and a half meters apart again. The opponent's performance also aroused Chen Fang's competitive spirit. He took a step forward as if to break through, and suddenly jumped up with the ball.

Guo Tianzhen had an extremely clear mind. As soon as Chen Fang retreated, he predicted the other party's next move, which included the option of facial cumshot.

A lunging step made his center of gravity sink, but when he saw the ball coming in, he raised his hand to block it.

Guo Tianzhen started formal basketball training at the age of six. Each of his skills has been honed over the years and is extremely formalized. When he was competing against Chen Fang, the postures of his hands were constantly changing.

When Chen Fang dribbled sideways, his hands were spread out to compress the opponent's route.

When Chen Fang was doing the action on the spot, his hands were hanging on his knees, restraining Chen Fang from changing hands to dribble.

When Chen Fang created distance, he raised his right hand and stretched it flat in front of his chest to prepare for the block and interference with the shot.

This time, there were no mistakes in defense, all of them were correct choices.

Because of this, even though his center of gravity was suppressed by Chen Fang, he was still able to quickly block the shot.

The advantage of arm span intensifies the interference effect.

Chen Fang instinctively acted a little faster, and he knew something was wrong the moment he made his move.

Turn around and retreat without hesitation.

Sure enough, the basketball hit the front frame and bounced up, and was taken by Taihu without any suspense.

Song Xuan got the rebound and immediately took the initiative to advance. He had good dribbling skills, and with his long legs, he crossed the center line in one go and advanced to Dongsheng's half.

At this time, Yang Zhang was following at high speed on the side road, and Guo Tianzhen was also running wildly on the other side.

The three armies of Taihu attacked simultaneously, and only Chen Fang retreated.

Seeing this situation, if it were someone else, they would just give up.

But Chen Fang had already been caught off guard and quickly adjusted his pace. He glanced around and made rapid calculations in his mind to determine who the main attacker was.

Song Xuan, who was advancing through the middle, kept in mind the principles of fast break. He passed the ball to the side immediately after crossing the three-point line. At the same time, he slowed down and went straight to the basket, ready to grab rebounds or score.

The ball was passed to Yang Zhang on the left, who dribbled from the wing to the basket, clearly ready to score.

And Guo Tianzhen was still behind, just stepping onto the three-point line.

pick one of two.

Chen Fang did not hesitate, suddenly accelerated and rushed directly towards Yang Zhang.

He approached with small steps, without even raising his hands, giving the impression that he was just cleaning up the mess.

This action confused Yang Zhang, and also slowed Song Xuan in the middle lane down almost to a jog.

When Yang Zhang took the ball and took a three-step layup, Chen Fang suddenly accelerated, and after one step he reached full speed and rushed towards Yang Zhang from the side.

He passed Song Xuan and they both jumped almost at the same time, but the heroic moment that Chen Fang was expecting did not appear.

Yang Zhang passed the ball!
After receiving the ball, Song Xuan made a forehand shot, held the ball and shot it towards Dongsheng's basket with both hands.

Yang Zhang and Chen Fang passed each other in the air and fell together.

Chen Fang landed and turned his head to look back, just in time to see Song Xuan dunking.

What a good offensive and defensive duel!
Those in the stands who knew a lot about football started cheering, and several club executives nodded.

Taihu U18 immediately demonstrated its superior quality and strength.

At the same time, Chen Fang, who was defending three people at once, secretly increased his fighting spirit.

"Chen Fang has an opponent." Wu Zhen, who was watching the fight, had a gleam in his eyes. This round was too exciting. The opponent was unexpectedly strong, which rekindled his interest in watching.

Wu Zi was very confused about her emotions. Why did she feel uncomfortable when she saw Chen Fang being humiliated?

What's going on here?
Zhang Shaohong on the rostrum had a blank expression on his face. These four were all carefully selected by him and he trained them personally, with the shortest training period being more than three years. He had a good idea of their level.

Chen Fang’s disadvantage is his height.

When the level gap is not very large, height and dynamic and static talents begin to play a dominant role.

Guo Tianzhen, who is 194cm tall and has a wingspan of 208cm, is crushing Chen Fang, who is 177cm tall.

What is surprising is that although Chen Fang was defended for the first time, his strong fighting spirit is admirable.

"Not a bad kid." Qu Zhonghua praised.

This is the youth training team he is familiar with, each member is full of talent, vitality and high quality.

Sun Lexian's eyebrows were almost squeezed together, and he could immediately tell the level of these four people.

Can you believe that a man over two meters tall can dribble the ball forward in high school, middle school or low-level leagues?

If it weren’t for Chen Fang, Sun Lexian would have had a hard time learning such a talented player.

Besides, it’s not just one, it’s four.

The man who jumped up and passed the ball at the end was very fast and walked with big strides. How could Dongsheng resist such an opponent?

At this thought, Sun Lexian inevitably felt despair.

Chen Fang re-served the ball from the baseline and pushed the ball forward. He waved his hand downward, signaling everyone to stay calm. There was no trace of panic on his expression, which made everyone else calm down immediately.

It's normal to feel uncomfortable when you step out of your comfort zone.

If you can get rid of your opponent by simply accelerating, then your habitual choices will tend to be simple.

Chen Fang adjusted his breathing and pushed across the center line again.

It must be a response ball, otherwise the opponent will lose momentum.

Driving the ball to three meters outside the top of the arc, Chen Fang stopped and tapped the ball twice.

Waving his hand and calling for a pick-and-roll, Guo Tianzhen subconsciously stepped forward and squeezed to set the screen in advance, but as soon as he moved his feet, Chen Fang accelerated.

Push the ball and change direction, then shoot down from the right side.

Guo Tianzhen turned his hips and switched to a side slide, reaching out to touch Chen Fang's body.

The player protecting the ball pushed away the hand that was approaching, Chen Fang did a back pull, stepped sideways with his left foot, and pretended to change direction.

The ball is pulled up in the right hand and suspended. At the same time, both feet reset their steps. The left foot is retracted, pushed on the spot, changed to an inward step, and the shoulders are lowered to the right again.

This change made Guo Tianzhen's legs completely stiffen, and he watched Chen Fang attack him.

When I got inside the three-point line, I immediately felt what it was like to be surrounded by tall people.

From the front, two sides, three people responded and surrounded him. They were very fast and almost surrounded Chen Fang in one step. But when Chen Fang faced Guo Tianzhen, he had already predicted this scene.

He pushed the ball and changed direction towards the penalty area, then turned outside and pulled the ball back. Chen Fang jumped out of the encirclement of three people. Now he only had to face Yang Zhang.

But his space also became small, with the sideline on the right and the baseline below, and an opponent who was more than 20 centimeters taller than him beside him.

Chen Fang became excited. He just wanted to rush in. Just now it was three against one, now it was one against four. It was tit for tat. I wanted to get my face back.

Chen Fang turned around and pulled the ball, relaxed his shoulders, made his body completely oblique, brushed against Yang Zhang's chest and rushed towards the basket along the baseline.

Yang Zhang was immediately left behind, but the distance between them was only millimeters. To avoid being called for a foul, Yang Zhang raised his right hand high and followed Chen Fang in, sticking close to his butt.

Su Quan, who was about to be surrounded, was already under the basket. He and Zeng Peng, the only player left from the U16 group, were stationed on the vertical line and bottom line of the penalty area, one on the left and one on the right.

Chen Fang was once again surrounded by three people, and was in a dangerous situation with no chance of survival.

An astonishing scene suddenly appeared in the eyes of thousands of spectators, so much so that some of them jumped up and screamed in surprise.

Chen Fang threw the ball half a meter in front of him, then jumped side by side, picked up the ball with both hands, and used the kinetic energy of this half meter to jump up.

He did it without any hesitation, as if there was no one in front of him and just an empty basket.

Once again, bullet speed is king.

When Chen Fang jumped, the three of them woke up in shock and jumped up one after another. However, Zeng Peng was the slowest to react. By the time he wanted to jump, Chen Fang had already pounced on his face.

With a leap, he pounced on the standing Zeng Peng's face in an instant. Zeng Peng, who was more than two meters tall, with a body as broad and solid as a mountain, was directly overcome.

Zeng Peng's eyes went dark. The last moment he could still see, No. 21's chest was already in front of his face.

Two thoughts flashed through my mind.

Why so fast?
Am I going to be ridden?
But at this time, Yang Zhang behind him and Su Quan on the side, saw Chen Fang jump up, and immediately jumped up as well. With six hands, they covered Chen Fang tightly from three sides: front, back, left and right.

If the three of them jumped at the same time, given Chen Fang's position, even a Daluo immortal would not be able to escape the fate of being capped with blood.

But first of all, Zeng Peng did not jump from the front, he just raised his hands and stood up straight, and Su Quan on the side was the first to jump, but he jumped sideways, and the threat range was very small. The most terrifying one was Yang Zhang who was behind him. He jumped up without thinking, and slapped Chen Fang's head hard with his hand.

But at the moment of jumping, Chen Fang had already anticipated the scene he would encounter next.

He first raised the ball with both hands, then immediately retracted it to avoid the wind behind him, and then lifted it sideways to avoid the big hand blocking it from the other side.

Finally, at the last moment before falling, he held the ball with one hand on the right side, almost above Zeng Peng's head, next to his hand, and pushed the ball towards the backboard.

Su Quan's falling hand grabbed Chen Fang's left shoulder, and the hand that swept behind his head also fell and grabbed his jersey.

The huge gravity made Chen Fang lose his balance suddenly. Fortunately, Zeng Peng was there to cushion his back. Chen Fang sat on him directly, and they both fell to the ground together.

"Beep!" The referee blew the foul whistle.

When Zeng Peng regained his eyesight, his first reaction was that he was doomed as Yan had dunked on him. But when he saw the ball spinning on the rim, he realized he was wrong.

Chen Fang still had inertia after landing, so he stood up, stepped over Zeng Peng on the ground, and looked up at the basket.

Everyone was watching the basketball as it rotated from the basket to the third circle. When they saw the basketball fall, the whole audience was boiling.

Super strong pull-up shot, a one-on-three layup!
Most people didn't see how the shot was made. They just saw that No. 21, surrounded by three people, actually hooked the ball into the basket.

From the time Chen passed Guo Tianzhen, to the time he made a layup and landed under the basket, the whole process took only three seconds, but the image produced in these three seconds was like a slide show, overwhelming.

"A goal that cannot be replicated!" Wu Zhen muttered to himself.

Lu Yun remained motionless for a long time, the light in his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

This is the picture that men yearn for. So fucking handsome. Why can't it be me?

Because they were in the stands behind the baseline, they were the group of people who could see Chen Fang's movements most clearly.

The beauty of that strange trajectory is simply incomparable.

Every frame stimulates their retinas, and the surging emotions then flow back through their bodies, making them feel like they were being electrocuted.

To describe it in one word, it's instant refreshment.

I reached a climax instantly.

There will be additional penalties!

"Star, big star!" It is very rare for Qu Zhonghua to say this. He is one of the best coaches in the national club.

Kou Feng, Yue Gang, and Xue Chong swarmed into Taihu's basket and surrounded Chen Fang.

For such wonderful goals, their perspective is the closest and most intuitive.

If the people in the stands are drunk, then they are crazy.

They surrounded Chen Fang, yelling, shouting, and slapping him.

What Chen Fang wants is an effect, to use one goal after another to continuously instill confidence in his teammates to win.

It took almost a minute for everyone to calm down. The referee signaled them to disperse, and Chen Fang stood at the free throw line, ready to serve.

At this time, shouts suddenly came from the stands of the Dongsheng cheering group in the distance. The first shout was very weak, but the second shout became powerful, and the third shout completely resounded throughout the stadium.

“MVP, MVP, MVP.”

Chen Fang was stunned. It was the first time he heard praise for him. Perhaps he should have received it a long time ago, but at this moment, it was more legitimate.

That's my game.

My destiny line.

Chen Fang seemed to see a vigorous line appearing behind the basketball hoop. It was rising, becoming thicker and thicker, breaking through the roof of the gym, and flying into the sky.

For some reason, Chen Fang suddenly felt that he had found a powerful belief in the dark.

Is this the direction I want to pursue?

The search in confusion over the past few days and the clarity before the game all became completely clear at this moment.

My dream of becoming a soccer star.

It's really coming!

I saved Dongsheng and brought it to unprecedented heights.

Later, I will take Nanyang, Shandong, and even China.

Go to higher mountains, I want to hear countless people cheering for me, shouting my name, and going crazy with joy for my goals.

I want to keep listening to this, this voice, this is what I pursue.

Believe in yourself and believe in the future.

My dream must be real and clear.

Chen Fang raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and then thrust it forward into the air.

This was an encouragement to himself. Chen Fang took the basketball thrown by the referee, patted it three times, looked at the orange basket in front of him, and made the free throw steadily.

This will be a competition where I will surpass myself. I will release myself without reservation and be fearless.

Because my name is Chen Fang, I ride the wind and waves.
