Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 82 Training Day (Part )
It has to be said that Chen Baowei's arrangements were meticulous and tight. Before half past six, Chen Fang had returned to the Basketball Management Center and was enjoying the two-person service of muscle relaxation and fascia smoothing in the corner of the court.

To be honest, this is the first time Chen Fang has been treated like this.

On the court, there were people warming up on both sides. The faces were all familiar, but no one knew how No. 21 appeared here, and they talked to each other in low voices.

Chen Fang also looked around. The U16 and U18 groups were all there, about a dozen people in total.

The appearance of Lu Yun made all the guesses disappear.

No. 21 Chen Fang is a member of their team.

Today is very special, it is the new coach's first appearance, no one wants to leave a bad impression on the coach. Everyone started preparing in the afternoon, a new coach means a new beginning, a new starting position, everything is possible.

The head coach that everyone was thinking about was still sitting in the office that had just been assigned to him, looking through lists of player information.

Zhang Ruihua has a rich resume.

He worked as an assistant coach in a CBA club for three years and as a head coach in the NBL for two years. Before that, he also led a youth training team for ten years.

A year ago, I went to Spain for further studies and it has not been a month since I returned.

According to his resume, Shanti's invitation was of no importance, but Zhang Shaohong was a fellow disciple and the two had a friendship that lasted for twenty years.

A phone call and he came.

Zhang Shaohong has only one goal, which is to lead the U16 team to play in the Youth Games next year. As long as he is willing to lead, he will definitely be the one to participate in the 17 National Games.

Zhang Ruihua's rewards are generous, in addition to bonuses, coaching fees, and real estate. Most importantly, there is a quota, and as long as you meet the criteria, you can use it at any time.

Every family has relatives who are not very successful, and if their own children are not very successful, they must have this way out.

This time, he brought two assistants. I heard that Shandong's youth training has not produced any talented players recently, so the burden is probably heavy. Zhang Ruihua is mentally prepared.

However, at today's welcoming banquet, Zhang Shaohong patted his chest and said that he would not make things difficult for him and would match him with a good seed. Now it depends on whether he can train it.

"Chen Fang!" Zhang Ruihua said to himself, and he found Chen Fang's information.

He plays as a guard, is 181cm tall, weighs 71kg, and has a wingspan of 190cm.

He does have some talent. Zhang Ruihua likes defenders. When he was working in the south, he found that the north was slightly inferior to the north in terms of defenders.

In fact, both sides have produced top talents, but in terms of base numbers, the South is far ahead.

The Southern defender is small and agile, has quick speed, a sharp brain, and a strong understanding of tactical execution.

The defender from the north is tall, strong and tough. He plays steadily and is reassuring.

Both sides have advantages, but I don’t know what the characteristics of this Chen Fang are.

"Teacher, it's almost time." The assistant reminded at the door.

"Okay, got it." Zhang Ruihua packed up his things, put them on the tactical board, stood up and prepared to go over.

In the gym, Lu Yun came over and looked at Chen Fang with envy, saying, "How's your technique? How does it feel?"

"Don't even think about it. You're not qualified." Chen Fang closed his eyes and exposed Lu Yun's little thoughts.

"Oh, you're showing off." Lu Yun didn't leave, pretending to be mysterious, "I can ask for you, there's a new coach coming today."

"Well, thank you."

Seeing that Chen Fang was unmoved, Lu Yun came over again and said, "I want to discuss something with you."

"explain."

"How about we join forces and become the king of the mountain here?" Lu Yun finally expressed his little thoughts.

Chen Fang finally raised his eyelids to look at Lu Yun, then closed them again: "Just be the one, I'll play the suona for you."

"Playing the suona? Are you going to send me away?" Lu Yun's mind reacted immediately.

"Okay." The two staff members stood up and finished their work.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Fang stood up and expressed his gratitude.

"It's all work." The staff waved their hands and left. This was not supposed to be their job, but Assistant Chen had given the order, so they could only work overtime with tears in their eyes. Now that they were done, they didn't want to waste time talking and just left.

I stood up and stretched my legs and feet, feeling rejuvenated.

I picked up a ball, tested it to see if it was inflated enough, and then went on the court.

Lu Yun didn't give up and followed him.

There were a few people in this field. When they saw Chen Fang coming, they tactfully changed places.

Chen Fang started shooting, and Lu Yun was picking it up. He said earnestly: "Since we are all on the same team, we should help each other. We are all from Nanyang."

Chen Fang grumbled and responded casually, but Lu Yun made him look even more disgusting than Wang Zhen. He hugged Chen Fang and said, "Now everyone has seen us flirting, and you are one of them, too. You might as well just agree to me."

"I'm afraid of you. If I were on the same team with you, I would pass the ball to you more often."

"A wise choice! I'll cover your travel expenses in Jinan."

"I remember what you said."

Just as the two were chatting nonsense, three people came into the gym.

The leader, who was in his forties and wearing a blue polo shirt, knew who was coming and immediately quieted down.

"Beep!" Zhang Ruihua blew the whistle and looked at his teammates who quickly gathered and stood in two rows. He was very satisfied with everyone's attitude.

"I'm your new coach, Zhang Ruihua."

"Hello, coach." Lu Yun shouted first, and the others followed.

"Put on your jerseys and then start dividing into groups." Zhang Ruihua went straight to the point without any polite words.

Several people, including Chen Fang and Lu Yun, were not wearing any clothes. Upon hearing this, they hurried to the sidelines to find their backpacks and get clothes. Zhang Ruihua's words rang in their ears: "Spin the balls and divide them into groups. It's fair and reasonable. The two groups that have spun 5 balls at least will play first."

"You go and be the referees." Zhang Ruihua said to his assistant.

"The U18s are playing too. You are part of this place and you need to have a good attitude, otherwise I won't let you leave this place."

Chen was startled. This coach was so domineering that he started to kill people with a guillotine.

Soon, everyone put on their jerseys and, under the direction of the assistant, formed two circles and began to circulate the ball into groups.

Lu Yun leaned next to Chen Fang, looking as if it was a matter of course.

Rotating the ball is the most common method of distribution on the baseball field. If you are assigned to a master, you will be happy for the whole afternoon, while if you are assigned to a pit, you will be cool for the whole afternoon.

It's the same for everyone, so it's fair.

But I didn't expect the new coach to use this trick.

I don’t know if it was Lu Yun’s blessing, but Chen Fang and Lu Yun were not among the first batch to transfer, and automatically formed a team with the two people who were eliminated in the other round.

There are 14 people in the team, and one is missing.

However, seeing that the new coach hadn't expressed his opinion, they didn't dare to ask, so they sat down.

Coincidentally, the ones falling on the other side were Yang Zhang and Song Xuan.

It seemed that the four of them were already the strongest team, and everyone in the other two groups showed envious expressions.

The main reason is that I want to be in a group with Chen Fang, at least it will be hard to lose.

It's not shameful to cling to the strong. Didn't you see the new guy who came and licked him?
No one has any burden. If they don't interact with each other after winning, then there will be too many enemies in this competition.

As the court was about to start, Zhang Ruihua announced the rules: "Ten points in a game, if you lose, you have to do ten push-ups for every point you lose, and walk around the city once."

"Coach, is it ten balls?" someone asked bravely.

"Ten points, depending on the game, there are three points and free throws." Zhang Ruihua said expressionlessly.

Now, Chen Fang's eyes became more lively, and Yang Zhang next to him also relaxed.

One team has Wan Manlou as defender and the other team has Guo Tianzhen. The difference in their levels is not that big. With the assistant's whistle, the game started directly.

The new coach obviously wanted to examine the main substitutes through the game, so everyone gave it their all and the stadium was immediately filled with the players' shouts.

Chen Fang was watching with great interest. Lu Yun said from the side, "I can also shoot three-pointers, break through, and do a good job of back-to-the-basket. I'm also very good at sneaking around the baseline. Hey, are you listening? Please respect me."

"Yeah, I'll remember it." Chen Fang responded helplessly.

The game should have been quick, but the two teams had been playing for four or five minutes. All the shots were missed and the team had to rely on free throws and layups.

Finally, Guo Tianzhen made a layup and scored the last two points.

10: 7.

Without the coach saying anything, the losing team just ran out of the field and started punishing themselves obediently.

Chen Fang stood up and glanced at Yang Zhang and Song Xuan. It was the first time he had ever fought such a fierce battle.

"Number 11, stay." Zhang Ruihua suddenly said.

"Team up with them."

Wan Manlou's expression was mixed with joy and sorrow, very interesting, but his body was very honest and he jogged over.

Chen was in the backcourt. Wan Manlou served the ball to him, but he passed it back: "You come."

After saying that, Chen Fang ran to the frontcourt to play as a shooting guard.

Fearing Chen Fang's three-pointer, Guo Tianzhen came over directly.

Chen Fang went to the bottom corner, and Lu Yun, who was passing by the wing, bent his body and ran towards the free throw line.

Guo Tianzhen wanted to speed up, but was blocked by Lu Yun without the ball.

Chen Fang crossed the free throw line diagonally and came to the other side to ask Wan Manlou who had just passed half court for the ball.

The latter immediately shook his hand and passed it over.

Shoot as soon as you catch the ball, without any hesitation.

The basketball went through the net and hit the target.

Chen Fang retreated back to his own half, feeling somewhat emotional. It had been more than a month since his rebirth, and he was finally back to his old job as a shooting guard.

To be honest, it's only this month that he's been allowed to advance from the backcourt with the ball. Before that, he had to run without the ball every day to shoot open shots.

In the next round, the opponent couldn't shoot continuously. Song Xuan, as the temporary center, grabbed the rebound and looked for Chen Fang first, but the latter threw the ball to Wan Manlou who was a little further forward.

Wan Manlou was about to run down the field with the ball, but unfortunately he was blocked by someone. At this time, Chen Fang had just passed the center circle and reached out for the ball.

After getting the ball, he did not stop, made a cut, and passed the ball with one hand to Yang Zhang who was in an open space in the penalty area, who easily scored on the rebound.

To be finished!
The other side became nervous and the score was 5-0 in the blink of an eye.

In the next round, Guo Tianzhen held the ball and played hard, but this time, Lu Yun would not let him get comfortable. He made correct defenses in succession and forced him into a dead ball. The teammates nearby ran over to receive the ball, but at the moment Guo Tianzhen passed the ball, they were horrified to find that there was another person on the flight path of the ball.

Chen Fang intercepted the ball, but instead of accelerating at full speed, he looked back.

Lu Yun, the hero of this defense, understood what he meant and rushed forward with all his strength.

Seeing Lu Yun coming, Chen Fang passed the ball to Lu Yun as soon as he entered the three-point line. The latter jumped high and performed a two-handed dunk in front of the new head coach.

Seven to zero.

The opponent is looking dismayed. At this time, even getting one point would be a good thing.

Unfortunately, the ball that Guo Tianzhen passed to Su Quan was wasted by Su Quan, and under Yang Zhang's defense, he missed all three shots.

This time, Chen Fang held the ball himself, dribbled across half court, saw Guo Tianzhen coming towards him, stood three meters outside the three-point line, and shot confidently.

The ball drew a high arc and fell into the net.

Ten to zero.

Chen Fang made a ruthless move and gave his opponent 100 push-ups and ten laps around the city.

Faced with the result, there was a wailing from the other side, and Guo Tianzhen bit his lip and lay down.

I thought the nightmare was gone, but it never left me.

Tears almost came out.

The team that went on the field was terrified, and everyone felt that they were doomed today.

"You two teams, reorganize." Zhang Ruihua suddenly spoke.

The coach is the coach, he immediately picked out the five best players from both teams.

Guo Tianzhen, Qiao Du, Su Quan, Zeng Peng, Yuan Mao.

"The rest of you continue working." With these words, the remaining people lay prone with their heads down and snored.

Now even a slow-witted person knows the coach's intention, that through the game and everyone's performance, the identities of the main force, rotation and substitute will be determined.

The U18s naturally don’t care, but they must cooperate with the coach’s intentions and have the right attitude.

So, next, it became a competition within the U16 team.

This time, through the reorganization, the level has been improved, the intensity has also been increased, but Chen Fang has never fought such a rich battle, not to mention, he returned to a familiar position and was not required to hold the ball.

He has time to adjust his physical strength on his own, so the game becomes easier.

So, Chen Fang showed his talents in ball distribution, off-ball movement, and strong and weak side offense in front of Zhang Ruihua.

After a few rounds, everyone was sweating and panting, but Chen Fang felt a little relieved.

"Everyone take a rest." Zhang Ruihua ordered.

Then he waved to Chen Fang: "No. 21, come over here."

Sure enough, this thought flashed through everyone's mind.

There's nothing you can do, they're just awesome.

"It's been a few years." Zhang Ruihua sat there and asked Chen Fang who was standing.

"I've been playing around for three years, starting in the first grade of junior high school. This year I started to practice seriously." Chen Fang told the truth.

Zhang Ruihua has a characteristic: no matter how turbulent his heart is, his face remains expressionless.

There's nothing I can do, I was born with a paralyzed face.

"Okay, do you think shooting guard is more suitable for you?" Zhang Ruihua's second question came.

"Well, my physical fitness is not good. If I am allowed to hold the ball, I can't play for too long." Chen Fang said frankly.

In fact, he vaguely discovered that there was something wrong with him. In the past month, he had been exercising every day, but he felt tired as soon as he played a game.

He didn't dare go to the hospital. Actually, he wanted to know the problem during this physical examination, but unfortunately, no problem seemed to be found.

Poor physical fitness? Zhang Ruihua had a question mark in his mind, but it did not stop him from continuing to ask questions.

"What position do you think you will play in this team?"

"I hope to be the leader of this team." Up to this point, Chen Fang had nothing to keep a low profile about. From the moment he signed the youth training contract, it meant that he was walking onto a single-plank bridge that was filled with difficulties and dangers. All he had to do was to keep moving forward. He had to support and stand firm in this character.

Zhang Ruihua had no reaction to this. He said, "Go back to the team."

He raised his wrist to check the time and blew the whistle.

Looking at the regrouped players, Zhang Ruihua said, "Starting tomorrow, we will enter a new phase and get familiar with the new tactics, new teammates, and your coach for the next three years."

"Some people will leave, some will fall behind, and some will stand out."

“Leave the results to hard work and tomorrow.”

"Disband."

Without even a glance, Zhang Ruihua left with his assistant.

"Exposing his domineering attitude." Lu Yun muttered softly.

Chen Fang did not agree, but went to pack his luggage. He still had to go back to finish his homework. There were a lot of knowledge points waiting for him to preview and review.

After leaving the gym, Lu Yun kept talking intermittently.

Walking downstairs to the dormitory, Chen Fang suddenly said, "Lu Yun."

"Ok?"

"There's no need to be like this. I'm different from Wu Zhen. You can be more true to your nature."

"Wait, what do you mean?"

"I mean, you should be what you are. If you are in this state, how could you be kicked out of the school team of the affiliated middle school?"

"I am very happy today that I can meet familiar people in a strange place."

Glancing at the stunned Lu Yun, Chen Fang waved his hand: "See you tomorrow!"

Watching Chen Fang's shadow disappearing up the stairs, only the sound of footsteps could be heard. Lu Yun smiled, revealing a row of big white teeth.

"Very interesting, I admire you so much."

Chen Fang, who had already walked to the door, did not hear Lu Yun's mumbling, but it didn't matter.

He vaguely guessed the reason behind Lu Yun's enthusiasm towards him today.

It's definitely not the so-called clinging to someone powerful. He just wants to get close to me and see if he can find any weakness so that he can stab his brother Wu Zhen in the back in the future.

This guess was so abstract that even Chen Fang felt it was fake.

But he felt that there was nothing wrong. Chen Fang just felt that Lu Yun approached him with bad intentions.

Turn on the desk lamp and turn off the wall lamp, and the whole room is bathed in warm light.

This is Chen Fang’s favorite atmosphere. Looking at the textbooks on the table, he remembered that he had to go to Lishan No. 2 Middle School tomorrow.

Another strange place, a group of strange people.

But that's how life is. The more unfamiliar it is, the stronger you can become.

The next ten years will be a good time, but also a bad time.

It depends on your efforts.

Thinking of Zhang Ruihua’s closing remarks, this coach’s words are quite philosophical.

Interesting day.

Just when Chen Fang was thinking about the coach, Zhang Ruihua had just finished a phone call with Zhang Shaohong.

The two have the same surname and were known as the two dirty kings when they were in college.

One uses dirty means, the other speaks dirty words.

They had fought with each other, but in the end they respected each other. There was an extraordinary sense of trust between them.

"195cm predicted height, 20 minutes of stamina, extraordinary reflexes, and three outrageous youth training contracts."

Chen Fang, this young man made Zhang Ruihua have a premonition that he had been lying dormant for so long just for his arrival.

Then get started today.

Feeling that there was no time to lose, Zhang Ruihua immediately gave up his rest and went into work mode. He had to write down the characteristics and personality of each person overnight, and then try to find the best combination and create a tactic to match this combination to face the Youth Games in October next year.

"There's still one year left. There's still time."

He bent over his desk and began to write, muttering to himself.

The night is deep and people are walking.

In two rooms, only fifty meters apart, people are striving for different goals.

As Zhang Ruihua said: Leave the results to hard work and tomorrow.

Tomorrow, work harder.

　Last week, I updated 7 words! Other than that, it's full of attitude! My performance is poor because of the collection, but there is no way, this style, and I don't write about NBA, that's it. But those who stay are all like-minded, we have our own little world, if you are willing to read, I am willing to write!
