Chapter 207 Victory
Pursing her lips and smiling slightly, she gently rested Li Changgeng's head on her shoulder.Covering Li Changgeng's eyes with his hands, he said softly, "Go to sleep!" At this moment Li Changgeng felt like a child, and it was too late to protest that fatigue had struck again.Leaning on her shoulder, Li Changgeng lost consciousness in an instant.
Snoring softly, fell asleep.
The raving UCLA players finally found out that their ace-coach was missing.After looking around, his eyes focused on the door of the locker room.A group of people excitedly opened the door and rushed in.Immediately afterwards, they were fortunate enough to see a scene that they will never forget:
In the quiet room, two people were sitting on the ground.The person they were looking for was sitting on the ground leaning against the cabinet, leaning on one shoulder, snoring softly with his eyes closed tightly, his face was full of exhaustion, but the corners of his mouth were still smiling.
Next to him, the master assistant on the shoulder gently held Li Changgeng's injured right hand, with a gentle and holy light shining on his face, and his gentle and focused eyes were staring at Li Changgeng who was sleeping.
She was completely unaware that someone rushed in.
The students at the University of California, Los Angeles at the door stood there dumbfounded. It took a long time before they quietly filed out of the room and closed the door gently.
Here, this moment, belongs to both of them.
The Los Angeles Sports Journal reports:
The finale of the NCAA, the highly anticipated peak matchup, finally came to an end, and the situation was strikingly similar to four years ago.The junior ball champion turned the tide, and UCLA launched a tenacious counterattack under the leadership of Li Changgeng and Li Changgeng when they fell behind.As if history was repeating itself, UCLA was still more than ten points behind the Raptors in the last 5 minutes.It's just that Li Changgeng didn't let the second matchup between himself and the Raptors leave painful memories of failure again.A [-]-pointer one second before the final buzzer sent UCLA to its first championship title and spelled the end of the Raptors' dynasty.
Scored 43 points, 24 of which came in the second half, [-] assists, [-] rebounds, and [-] steals. Li Changgeng almost single-handedly sent UCLA to the championship.His performance is worthy of the title of the NCAA No. [-] ball king.The end of the Raptors' dynasty in his hands would be a decent ending for the Raptors.
Although the Raptors lost, they performed equally well and deserved their title of King Raptors.Compared with us trembling into the finals, they almost swept the leaves all the way, reaching the finals with an average advantage of [-] points.Even in the finals, they beat us all the way to the lead.At the last second, the Raptors still had a two-point lead.The members of the UCLA team who won the final game also had to admit that the Raptors were far ahead of their own team in terms of overall strength.But they didn't think it was a fluke that they won the championship. In their view, as long as Li Changgeng was there, UCLA would be enough to defeat any opponent.
In the selection of the best player, Li Changgeng was indisputably elected with the advantage of unanimous votes.
Among the top ten players selected at the end of the competition, Li Changgeng was a natural member, and the Raptors had four players selected: Pierce, Heroin, Pinol and Kotaichi.Although Kotaichi did not have many chances to perform in the final, his outstanding performance in the previous competitions was enough to conquer the judges.Four out of ten, the Raptors once again showed its strong strength.Even Kazier, who was the only loser in the main lineup, had a chance to win the "Top Ten" and become the only power forward in the "Top Ten", but the rest of the Raptors were too dazzling, so he could only wait regretfully next year.
The other top ten players are: Katerina Kazhima, North Carolina team Zhao Tong, Selok Yin Lunyu, opponent Kardashian, and Huayang team Liu Shaofeng.Although the results of Selok and He are not as good as in previous years, but because they were eliminated by us as champions, and the performance of Kardashian, Yin Lunyu and Li Changgeng in the duel is even more remarkable, it is reasonable to be selected as the top ten.
Among the opponents the Raptors encountered, only Li Changgeng and Zhao Tong were selected as the "Top Ten", and even these two were only encountered after the Raptors entered the semifinals.
Could it be that the Raptors swept all the way because the opponent was too weak?On the contrary, this is enough to show the strength of the Raptors from another aspect.If he wants to have an outstanding performance against such a powerful Raptors, I am afraid that only Li Changgeng can do it.The performance of North Carolina led by Zhao Tong when they encountered the Raptors can be described as horrible.Just watching this game alone, I am afraid that anyone will have to doubt the reason why Zhao Tong was selected as the "Top Ten".Even those of us led by Li Changgeng were suppressed and unable to move at one time?
For those teams that were eliminated due to their premature encounter with the Raptors, it is unfortunate not only for the team, but also for the outstanding players on their teams.
Among the top ten players this year, there are two centers (Zhao Tong, Heroin), three forwards (Kardashian, Pinol, Kazhizhi), two shooting guards (Yin Lunyu, Liu Shaofeng), and one point guard (Pierce). , This changed the situation where most of the best players in previous years were occupied by forward players.This year's NCAA can be said to have truly realized the situation where all positions are flying simultaneously.USA Basketball's reserves are full of talent.Li Changgeng?He's the best in any position. (Reported by "Los Angeles Sports News" reporter Tom)
As the sports newspaper with the largest circulation in the United States, "Sports Weekly" also published an impassioned report-"Turning the Tide, the Young Ball King Shows His Powers, and We Win the Laurels".
Reporter Min Hangyu was not stingy with his compliments, and used words such as "Li Changgeng", "Li Changgeng who is rarely seen in a century", "the future standard bearer of Chinese basketball", and quoted the Chinese national youth team many times. The words of the Raptors coach, the head coach of the basketball team and NBDL New York Swordsman, greatly enhanced the persuasiveness of the report.The article also implicitly disclosed the intention of Mr. Smith, the head coach of the basketball team of the University of Missouri in the United States, to recruit Li Changgeng.report
The Los Angeles Sports Press is the number one publication among youth publications, and Sports Weekly is the largest-selling sports newspaper in the United States.There are other publications reporting the NCAA, all of which reported the finals in detail.What kind of whirlwind will be created in the United States after these reports are published at the same time?
But our client didn't feel anything about it.
After winning the NCAA championship, UCLA surprisingly did not have any carnival activities.Our players went to bed early that night, except for the substitutes.After this arduous game, the physical strength of the players was overdrawn very badly.I almost crawled into bed when I got back to the hotel.Even the excitement of winning the championship can't stop them from rushing into their dreams.
However there are always exceptions.
In the dark night, on the balcony of the hotel, a lonely figure stood with his hands behind his back.Looking up at the dark night sky, looking up to meet the oncoming night wind with autumn rain, he muttered blankly: "If you win, so what?"
Under the dim light of the balcony, the dazed and outstanding person was Li Changgeng, who showed his prowess during the day and led the team to win the championship.
What if you win?Next, what else can Li Changgeng do?
The National NCAA Basketball League is over, and the University of California, Los Angeles, returned to school with the honor of the championship.Long before they went back to school the newspapers were flooding the news with the news all over us and even across the country.Our university, a national key university, has never received such attention as it does today.A large group of reporters broke into the campus with cameras on their shoulders, and the students, teachers, and even the principal with the honorable title of old fox were stunned.
Our college basketball team won the championship?A national championship?
basketball team?Do we have a basketball team too?Many students don't even know that our university has a basketball team.After the University of California, Los Angeles had a good time in the NCAA last time, the University of California, Los Angeles, which has been sinking for four years, has gradually been forgotten by the teachers and students of the school.Even the banners hung in the school when the team qualified at that time did not attract the attention of many teachers and students.
The principal of our university who is most enthusiastic about the basketball team also completely gave up on the NCAA after coach Gong Jingqi was hospitalized.Even when the University of California, Los Angeles participated in the NCAA, the school did not even send a teacher to lead the team.
All of a sudden: win the championship? !
A team made up of a group of hairy kids defeated the best players from all over the country to win the championship!After the shock from the school, there were more embarrassed smiles.
When the bus carrying the UCLA students stopped in front of the school, the team members on the bus were surprised to find that the school’s second grader’s huge colored balls were floating high, bright red banners hung high, and hanging in front of the door Festive red lanterns and colorful potted flowers filled the left and right steps in front of the gate.What was even more exaggerated was that there were two neat rows of people in front of the school gate lined up on both sides of the avenue, and standing in the front were the principal and many teachers.
what happened?Is there a leader coming down to inspect today?Or is there any special festive event?The UCLA students in the car looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to get off the car.Maybe everyone came back at the wrong time, maybe we should have got off the bus at the back door of the school.The team members' scalps suddenly tingled, and each of them felt as if they were riding a tiger.
The driver turned around and asked in amazement: "It's here, why don't you get out of the car?"
One by one, they braced themselves and got out of the car with their luggage in their hands.
"Crack, click..." The spotlight flashed wildly, and the reporters who had already been on both sides rushed forward
Now it's a big disaster!Every team member groaned like this in their hearts.
"Welcome our hero back with honor!" The headmaster's enthusiastic voice sounded next to his ears, "Papapa..." The applause sounded like a rainstorm.
Welcome...welcome us?Our team members finally woke up.Looking up, there were naturally unbelievable expressions on each face.
The spotlight continued to shine, and the reporter's eyes searched the crowd getting off the car, and the target was naturally Li Changgeng.But until the last person in the car got off, there was no sign of him.
Where did he go?
was picked up.
When UCLA got off the bus, a group of white coats rushed over, and Li Changgeng, who was in the crowd, was put on a stretcher.
"Li Changgeng, tell aunt what's wrong, where are you hurt..."
"My dear nephew, tell uncle where you are hurt..."
"Hey baby, why don't you talk. Why is your face so red, can't it be a fever..."
"Oh, what's the matter with the hand, what's the matter with the hand..."
"Nephew, hurry up and talk, why are you closing your eyes?"
Li Changgeng felt a roar in his head, his face was hot, and his eyes were dark (nonsense, he closed his eyes), and he didn't dare to turn his head to face the playful eyes of the players and the expression of the assistant teacher's bitter laughter.
I really wish that a hole suddenly popped up in the ground for me to crawl into.All of a sudden Li Changgeng knew that his aunt and uncle had completely destroyed the image of brilliance and martial arts that he had worked so hard to build.
Lying on a stretcher, surrounded by uncles and aunts, Li Changgeng got off the train and was taken directly to the hospital.
Watching the ambulance whizzing away, the teaching assistant felt lost.Raising his hand to wipe the hair on his face, he found that there was an extra right hand at some point, but it was Li Changgeng who quietly stuffed it into her hand when he was busy.Looking at the direction in which the ambulance disappeared, the teaching assistant suddenly felt a sweet feeling in his heart.
In the white ward, there was a person lying on the bed, his feet were hung up with bandages, his right hand was tightly wrapped and hung on his chest, and a pair of Li Changgeng were waiting on both sides.
"Come on, nephew, uncle has peeled a pear for you..." The man graciously brought the peeled pear to the mouth of the boy on the bed.
The boy on the bed closed his eyes, pretending not to see or hear.
Li Changgeng was anxiously sent to the hospital. After a careful examination from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet, from the internal organs to the facial features, the hospital issued a diagnosis: the injuries to his hands and feet are recovering, and he will recover within a month.Other than that, there was nothing wrong with it, and it couldn't even be healthier.The two who had been worried for a long time were finally relieved.
They were happy, but Li Changgeng was unhappy.Li Changgeng's heroic image was completely ruined by his uncle and aunt's performance at the station, and maybe he will make jokes for Mozart's bastards in the future.
.........
At the celebration banquet of our university, members of the basketball team (players and teaching assistants) sat on the podium to receive the attention of all the people.Although each of them felt apprehensive and flattered, the expressions on their faces were still as calm as water, appearing extremely calm.After undergoing the baptism of the NCAA, they are completely used to the feeling of being the center of attention.
No matter how modest and cautious the appearance is, the feeling of elation in everyone's heart is self-evident.From now on, basketball players on campus will always stand up straight and strut their heads.
Coach's office.
In the dark office, soft light radiates from the desk lamp on the table.In the quiet room, the smog slowly rises in the light.At the desk, a man was sitting there meditating, and the smoke was coming out of the cigarette butt he held between his fingers.Looking at the cigarette butts in the ashtray, you can tell that he has been sitting here for a long time.
There are a lot of videotapes on the desk, which are all live videotapes of the games that have been seen.On the two sheets of paper in front of him, some names were written densely.Some have been crossed out, and some have been heavily circled—this is the list of preliminary selection players for the National Youth Team.
It's just that the coach is still hesitating.There is a name on the list that has been specially circled several times, and then there is a big question mark on it.That name is amazing
Li Changgeng!
He is a Li Changgeng, a rare Li Changgeng in a hundred years!He can definitely become a superstar who shocks the world.The Raptors coach is absolutely convinced of this.
In terms of skill level, there is absolutely no problem for Chang Gung to be selected for the National Youth Team.His level has surpassed too many players of the same age.Even better than Kebo, Lucas and others who are in the limelight in the league.
With such an outstanding coach, why are you still hesitating?
It is precisely because he is a Li Changgeng!
16 years old is the most important period for physical development and mental growth. At the age of 16, can his young body withstand high-intensity confrontation? At the age of 16, can he withstand enormous psychological pressure?Will the flashy ethos of American basketball tarnish his pure heart?
Fang Zhongyong's regret has been passed down through the ages, and the result of killing the seedlings will surely kill the seedlings in the end.A Li Changgeng was right in front of his eyes, and his decision would have such a huge impact on his life, how could he be careless.
The coach hesitated even more.
It's still the same problem, his level has surpassed players of the same age by too many.Even in the U17 national youth team, there is no player who can match him. Of course, staying in the U17 will greatly improve the strength of the U17 national youth team, but there will be no great growth for him.And when I really participated in the World Youth Championship, I didn't have reliable teammates around me, and even if I had a high level, it was difficult to have room to play.The worst result is that like this final, the tiger led the sheep against the wolves, and without the support of his teammates, he could only break through alone, fighting fiercely by himself, and finally was covered in bruises.This is the last result the Raptors coach wants to see.The Raptors coach simply doesn't believe those coaches will give up a possible good result to protect him from playing.
Just don't call him into the two national youth teams.
Wouldn't that be a waste of food because of choking?
The 16-year-old is a critical period for a player's growth, and he has reached the peak that amateur players can achieve.What is most urgently needed now is formal training.Otherwise, if this delay continues, he may really become another Fang Zhongyong in a few years.
Opportunities and tempering are also indispensable conditions for Li Changgeng's growth.The confrontation with high-level players and the tempering of high-level games can promote his growth.There is nothing more than the U20 World Youth Championship that can provide all this in front of us.
After much deliberation, the coach finally made a decision: let him carve this piece of rough jade by himself.He really didn't dare risk handing him over to someone else.But there is still work to be done!With a plan in mind, he stood up resolutely, turned off the lights and left the office.
On the plane from New York to Chicago, USA.
Smith seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but his fingers were tapping lightly on the black bag in his hand.There is a roll of videotape, which is the video of the final game of the NCAA league.As he said before he was going to bring it back to America.Seeing that he is so serious that he never leaves his hand even when carrying his bag on the plane, it shows how much he values this video tape in his heart.To be more precise, it should be how much he valued the player Li Changgeng in the video.
No. 24, University of California, Los Angeles, Li Changgeng, 16 years old, a sophomore in our university, Li Changgeng, who is known as the "Youth King" in the American NCAA basketball circle... Smith silently recalled the information about Li Changgeng, and it came to mind What is here is the thrilling final.Although several days have passed since the game, he can still clearly remember every detail of the game.
With unparalleled skills and unyielding fighting spirit, Li Changgeng is exactly the student that every basketball coach hopes to have.There is no reason for any good coach not to be tempted to see such good quality.Although he is still a little immature, and although he is still a little immature, he has initially demonstrated the qualities of a superstar.Smith firmly believes that as long as it is carefully crafted within five years, a basketball superstar named Li Changgeng will surely appear in the world basketball world.
Smith hopes that this rough jade will be carved by himself. "Old Geng must have the same idea!" Smith sighed inwardly, but he firmly believed that he must be the one who could win the right to train Li Changgeng in the end!
Before leaving the United States, Smith specially commissioned an American detective agency to investigate all the details about Li Changgeng.Smith hoped that after passing the evaluation of the school committee, he could get Li Changgeng in his hands as soon as possible.
What are they talking about?Controversy among the Smith Curiosities grew.
"Mike, can you tell Li Changgeng what you are arguing about?" Smith asked.
Mike turned back and said, "We're discussing whether someone can shoot a three-pointer with their eyes closed!"
"Shoot three-pointers with your eyes closed?" Smith asked in surprise, "Why are you talking about this topic? Relying on the physical sensation cultivated by hard training, it is possible to make free throws with your eyes closed. Shooting is all about seeing and shooting. The position of the basket cannot be as fixed as a free throw, especially for long-range three-pointers. Shooting three-pointers with eyes closed? Would anyone make such a boring attempt? It is simply impossible!" Smith felt that this topic was a bit too ridiculous .
"No!" Jason shook his head solemnly, "Li Changgeng has seen someone shoot a three-pointer with his eyes closed, and it was during a game!"
Mike added in a low voice, "That's our white number 24!"
White 24?Is it Li Changgeng?Did Mike and Jason also watch that game?At that time, I did see two foreign Western lads sitting next to the players who raised their voices in the stands. Could it be them?
Shoot a three with your eyes closed?Smith suddenly had the urge to immediately take out the video tape to see what happened.Of course he also knew that this was impossible.
Exactly how much thrilling and unbelievable was there in that game that I didn't notice?How many surprises did Li Changgeng have to give himself?Smith's heart was tumbling.
At the same moment, in the room of our hospital, a young man was standing by the window, with a lonely figure and a confused expression, muttering to himself: "What else can I do? What else can I do?" where?"
