Chapter 58 Games of Youth and Friendship
As soon as I returned to school, Xia Qiu had time to ask other students for advice, and I was told that the school's autumn sports meeting was about to be held.
As one of the monitor, Liu Lingmei is responsible for the registration of girls' participation projects. Seeing her petite figure desperately mobilizing the girls in the class to participate in the competition, Xia Qiu had to support her. Because she was afraid that the demon power in her body would be suspected of cheating, after repeatedly studying the projects that she could participate in, she only chose the 1,500-meter long run and the four-multi-hundred-meter relay. In the three years of junior high school, she would participate in the relay project with Liu Lingmei, which seemed to have become a tacit understanding between them.
On the boy's side, Du He is responsible for signing up. All projects are competing for Ouyang Xiao Leng, especially for the basketball team. Dong Haofan, as the captain, will take him into his banner in any case. It seems that with him, he has the guarantee of victory. Ouyang Xiao Leng has never been good at dealing with these things. He just wanted to make these people stop pestering him as soon as possible, so a comedy scene happened, and ten items were signed with his name on the registration form. Later, after everyone discussed it, they felt that it was a little inappropriate. On balance, five of them were left behind.
This week's physical education class has become the pre-match special training time for each class. In the past, Xia Qiu, who ran 400 meters and gasped, ran 1,500 meters effortlessly. After several handover baton skills, she was pulled by several other girls to watch the boys' basketball training.
For the first time, I saw Ouyang Xiao Leng wearing a formal basketball suit and basketball shoes, and wearing a wrist guard. Perhaps a handsome person like him will look good no matter how he dresses up. He is so dazzling with the ball, running, jumping and sweating on the court. The girls on the side of the court screamed from time to time, and Xia Qiu also followed his heart. Speed up.
At the end of the training, he naturally jumped back and threw the ball into the basket for the last time. Then he turned around and walked to Xia Qiu in the eyes of everyone and asked, "What do you think?"
Xia Qiu looked at him and asked with a little joke, "Well, it's really a good play! You are a genius, aren't you?"
"Of course!"
Ouyang Xiao Leng's righteous response made her laugh.
The men's basketball began the round-robin before the sports meeting, and the basketball team in the summer and autumn class really passed all the way and reached the finals. The finals were held on the afternoon of the sports meeting. The weather was surprisingly good, which fully reflected what it means to be cool in autumn. The first event was the sprint event, and the relay was also among them. Liu Lingmei ran the third bat and the fourth bat in Xia Qiu. The two of them practiced the handover of the baton several times, which can be said to be confident.
Unexpectedly, something went wrong in the real game. Zhao An, the girl who ran the second bat before Liu Lingmei, rushed too hard when she was about to hand the bat, so that she lost her balance and fell to the ground. A burst of exclamation on the sidelines. Everyone sweated for her. The score is no longer important. What everyone is more concerned about is Is her injury serious?
But she insisted on standing up. Despite the unbearable ankle pain, she still limped and handed the baton in her hand to Liu Lingmei and said to her, "Please! We must insist on completing the game, or our training will be in vain!"
Liu Lingmei held the baton tightly in her hand, nodded to her and rushed out. Even if she had fallen quite a distance from the players in the other class, she would try her best to complete the game with Xia Qiu. The stronger the idea, the more her speed was raised. She never remembered that she could run so fast. Her petite body galloped on the huge ring track, and the 100 meters seemed to have been slowed down.
The baton finally reached Xia Qiu's hand. Her body bounced out like an arrow away from the string. There were no distractions in her heart except that she kept running forward. This was no longer a game with anyone, but simply a promise of the four of them to each other. It was not heard by her ears until the moment she rushed to the end. With the shouts of the students sitting around the runway, Zhao An came over with the help of Liu Lingmei and the girl who ran the first leg.
"Xiaoqiu, how can you run so fast?"
"We won, okay? We won!"
"Hmm! I won!"
Several girls were incoherent, cried with joy, and finally hugged each other tightly.
Xia Qiu's 1,500 meters clashed with the men's basketball final. After she ran the whole course, the boys had finished half of the game in the basketball hall. The opponent is Class 5 of the third year of senior high school. The five members of the team are all from the school basketball team, and they have won the championship of this game for two consecutive years, which has an absolute advantage in terms of height and technology. Even if Ouyang Xiao Leng is an ordinary human being, whether it is in full view of the public or simply for respect for the game, he will not rely on his strange power to win the game.
Halfway through the game, Ouyang Xiao Leng, as a small forward in the team, was stared at by his opponent and had no chance to score at all. The more anxious he was to break out the siege, the easier it was to cause fouls such as hitting people with the ball. Xia Qiu, on the sidelines, sweated for him. She knew his character best. It was not easy for him to pass the ball to other teammates.
But she still shouted at the court, "Come on!"
Her voice passed through the noise inside and outside the court and came to his ears. He swept the crowd on the sidelines with the afterglow. She stood in it, still wearing a long-distance white sweatshirt, sweat-soaked bangs pasted on both sides of her cheeks, and his shadow was reflected in her eyes.
Seeing her, his mood suddenly relaxed, and his mind became agile. He took the ball to the basket in one breath and made a fake move of jumping and shooting. Sure enough, a figure like the other party's peak appeared in front of him with the intention of blocking the hat. He changed the direction of his hand in the air and passed the ball ghost to Dong. In the hands of Haofan. He took advantage of his keen vision and broad vision to see the empty defense around Dong Haofan. Dong Haofan took the ball he passed and threw it easily. Everyone held their eyes. The basketball rotated around the basket and finally fell in.
After a cheer, the score was rewritten to 58:68, and there was still a ten-ten gap, but there was little time left. Xia Qiu and the students in Class 1 of the first year of high school around him took hands and cheered. While silently praying for the team members in their hearts, many other classes also came to see the elegant demeanor of the talented player Ouyang Xiao Leng.
"What, I don't see him shooting!"
"It's not as amazing as they brag!"
"It's boring!"
Seeing that he always gave the opportunity to shoot to other teammates, the people on the sidelines who came for him became a little disappointing and talked one after another.
If it were in the past, he would have been irritable because of such a voice, but at this moment, he is surprisingly calm. After experiencing various adventures this year, he has grown from a green teenager to the lord of the demon world. After a few days of competition, he began to like basketball. Everyone on the court has their own position. Everyone has their own duties and cooperates to play a good game. Such a philosophy is included in this kind of human invention, which made him admire human wisdom.
Because he no longer pursues shooting alone, but passes the ball with more people, and then passes the ball to his teammates to score. He thinks that the opponent who has studied him thoroughly is confused and makes repeated mistakes in cooperation, and the cooperation between Dong Haofan and Ouyang Xiao Leng has become more effective.
There are still two minutes left, and the score was chased to 72:74. The opponent changed its tactics and began a one-on-one man-to-man defense, which was set the score and delayed until the end of the game. In this case, Dong Haofan, who has always been known for his stability on the court, also lost his patience and unexpectedly had a low-level foul, giving the other side a free throw opportunity.
With only one minute left, the score was pulled out by two points. Dong Haofan completely fell into despair for his bold, and the other players also lost confidence with him. Looking at the depressed teammates, Ouyang Xiao Leng actually made an amazing move and said to them, "Think about the persistence of the girls in the relay game in the morning. They are looking at us off the court now. We can't lose face!"
In one sentence, Dong Haofan and other teammates' fighting spirit as men are rekind. Even girls can hold on until the last second, and they should not give up like this. The significance of the competition is that there is a fair competition in a limited time, and a wonderful game depends on everyone who participates in the competition to do their best until the last minute. This is respect for the competition, opponents and the audience.
As time went by, an attack of the other side was intercepted by Dong Haofan and quickly passed the ball to Ouyang Xiaoleng's hand. Under the attention of the whole audience, Ouyang Xiaolan quickly took the ball through the half, and a leap into the basket and brought a glimmer of hope back to his teammates.
In the last 20 seconds, the opponent brought the ball to the basket. After the ball was thrown high, he was blocked by Ouyang Xiaolan with an incredible jump. When he took the ball through the half, he skillfully passed it to Dong Haofan. Dong Haofan did not hesitate to jump up and easily outside the three-point line to throw the ball, and the ball flew into the basket with a beautiful parabola.
With the referee's whistle, the game ended at 77:76. They finally won the game by a narrow margin of one point, and the whole audience also sounded with lasting cheers.
The commentator's final summary sounded from the loudspeaker: "First of all, congratulations to Class 1 of Senior High School. It is precisely because they did not give up until the last moment that they can win this game. They are well-deserved champions! In addition, I would also like to congratulate Class (5), the third year of senior high school. Although this year, although the myth of winning the championship for two consecutive years, they still presented a wonderful competition for everyone before graduation!"
Dong Haofan took his team out of the field like a hero, where there were girls waiting for them with towels and mineral water. According to the usual practice, they could choose to accept condolences from a girl. Dong Haofan rushed to Liu Lingmei unyieldingly, and at the same time spread his arms to block the boy who also wanted to walk to her as the center. Liu Lingmei glanced at him and then pouted.
"Please, give it to me! It's not easy for us to win, and it's also a glory for the class!" Dong Haofan begged.
Liu Lingmei finally couldn't beat him and stuffed the towel and mineral water in her hand into his arms.
Ouyang Xiao Leng didn't understand these rules. He naturally came to Xia Qiu. If it hadn't been for her support on the sidelines, he would not have completed the game so smoothly. His gratitude to her is not just a little bit. She was saved ten years ago, and the little bits and pieces of supporting each other and growing together with her in the past year have been imprinted in his heart.
The sunset shines through the window of the gymnasium, coating their young faces with a layer of gold. Although they are tired but full of joy, the sports meeting has finally come to an end, but how much such a carefree time will there be?
