Chapter 113 You Sit in the Front Row and Watch Me
On the phone, Coach He didn't say anything specific, but just asked Meng Tang to come over, saying it was about Wei Chuan.
Meng Tang intuitively felt that it was related to Ning Xin.
When she arrived at the rest area of the training hall, she saw Coach He waiting for her from afar.
Meng Tang quickened his pace and walked forward to greet the people.
Coach He smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry to trouble you."
Meng Tang shook his head: "Can I ask what happened?"
Coach He briefly summarized the situation to Meng Tang and said, "The main thing is to persuade him to focus on the competition first and deal with other matters after the competition. This little thing is not worth making a fuss about."
"I understand." Meng Tang said, "Please let him out. I'll only take up ten minutes of your time."
How thoughtful, Coach He thought, no wonder Wei Chuan likes it so much.
"Wait a moment."
Coach He turned around and called Wei Chuan.
When Wei Chuan learned that Meng Tang was coming, he suspected for a moment that there was something wrong with his ears.
He was stunned for a moment and looked at Coach He: "Did you let her come?"
"Hurry up." Coach He urged him impatiently, "If you don't want to see her, I'll let her go now."
"Who said it's gone?" Wei Chuan combed his short hair and ran away, "I'll go now."
"You little bastard." Coach He cursed at his ruthless back, then asked Tian Yu, "Will he really come back smiling soon?"
Tian Yu made an "OK" gesture and said, "I'll take care of it."
As long as his brother Chuan can see Meng Tang once, he will be happy for two more days.
He also believed that those who truly liked him would not allow him to act foolishly at this critical moment and compete with a substitute manager.
Meng Tang rubbed his hands and paced back and forth in front of the steps.
Suddenly, she heard familiar footsteps from behind. She turned around and watched him running towards her with a smile.
Wei Chuan braked suddenly and stopped in front of Meng Tang, saying, "Did Old He ask you to come?"
"Yeah." Meng Tang nodded, "Let me see you lose your temper."
Wei Chuan snorted: "Who wants to lose their temper like this?"
Meng Tang was silent for a moment, then said, "Coach He has already told me what happened. The elimination rounds start tomorrow, and they'll last for four days. Each day is more important than the last. Don't waste time on such trivial matters. Let's talk about everything after the competition is over."
"You suspect she did it on purpose, but she said she deleted it by mistake because she was shortsighted. She shed a tear and apologized, and if you still hold it against her, it's your fault."
"I know," Wei Chuan frowned again as he thought of Ning Xin. "I just felt uncomfortable. I deliberately said it was either her or me. After the game, when Old He sees that she and I don't get along, he will definitely consider replacing her. Then I'll ask him to find a man who will be more convenient for us to get along with. If Old He can't bear to let Ning Xin go, why not let her join the women's basketball team?"
It turned out that she was not impulsive. Meng Tang frowned. If it could be proved that Ning Xin did many things intentionally, Coach He would not protect her.
Meng Tang knew what he was thinking and was quite satisfied.
"Let's deal with her after the game is over."
Meng Tang had already made the trip himself, so how could Wei Chuan say no? However, he rolled his eyes and said:
"Then you can sit in the front row and watch me at tomorrow's game."
Meng Tang saw through his thoughts and refused: "I can still see you from the back."
Wei Chuan said: "The back row and the front row are completely different."
"I think it's the same." Meng Tang grabbed his arm and turned him around. "Go and rest quickly."
Wei Chuan leaned back, refusing to leave, looking back at Meng Tang and begging, "How about sitting in the front row for the finals?"
Meng Tang was helpless: "Why do you have to let me sit in the front?"
"Because when I win the championship, I hope you will be the first audience to celebrate with me."
The wood cracked, revealing the criss-crossing wood grain.
Meng Tang couldn't refuse a pair of eyes full of expectation and nodded quietly.
Wei Chuan was so excited that he turned around and hugged her.
"Hey——" The words to stop him drowned his throat, and Meng Tang put his raised hand down again.
"I've already asked her to delete the promotional updates for the opening night."
"I don't know if you've seen the mess in the comments section."
"This was my negligence. I should have kept an eye on it. If you saw it and feel uncomfortable, you can scold me or hit me if you want."
Meng Tang rubbed his shoulder silently.
Wei Chuan's heart softened, and he hugged her tightly, then quickly let go of her: "I'm leaving."
Not daring to look at her, Meng Tang smiled and said, "Well, go ahead."
Wei Chuan's ears turned red and he ran back to the rest area with a happy face.
Meng Tang did not leave the training hall. He took out his cell phone, fiddled with it for a while, and then threw it into his bag.
Five minutes later, Ning Xin came out. Meng Tang approached her and said, "Can we chat?"
Ning Xin raised her chin slightly and pointed ahead: "Go over there."
This is an outdoor leisure area in the training hall. Meng Tang and Ning Xin did not sit down. They both wanted to finish their conversation while standing.
"You took the photo on purpose, didn't you?" Meng Tang's tone was cold.
Ning Xin raised her eyebrows: "Do you have evidence?"
"Yes." Meng Tang said calmly, "Not only that, I also have evidence that your secondary account is trying to drag me down, Xue, Han, right?"
Ning Xin's expression was panicked, but only for a moment. She said, "I really don't understand what you are saying."
Meng Tang glanced at her and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You just need to know that I have evidence."
After saying this, she pretended to turn around.
"Stop." Ning Xin stopped her angrily.
Meng Tang curled his lips, turned around and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ning Xin: "Even if you know I uploaded the photo on purpose, so what? Will everyone believe you?"
Meng Tang's face darkened slightly, and Ning Xin smiled: "I have been a fan of Wei Chuan since his freshman year. Without saying anything else, you should know what I mean."
"You like him." Meng Tang said directly.
"Yes." Ning Xin admitted it straightforwardly.
Meng Tang didn't show any anger, but just smiled sarcastically: "Then do you know why he hates you when so many people in school like him?"
Ning Xin seemed to be grabbed by the throat and glared at Meng Tang fiercely.
"It seems that even if I don't say it, you know it well." Meng Tang looked at her, "If I were you, I would voluntarily leave the team after the game. It's better than being kicked out by others."
Ning Xin pushed her cheek up, her eyes filled with resentment.
Not long after Meng Tang left, he saved the recording on his phone.
When the time comes, I'll send it to Coach He, and he probably won't have anything to say.
The next day, 16 were selected to 8 and Z advanced smoothly.
When the top 8 teams were in the quarter-finals, the game became obviously difficult.
After all, the remaining teams are all strong teams, and they were able to reach the national top four last year due to some luck.
But it is impossible for every game to be like this. In the end, it all comes down to hard power.
In the quarter-finals, Z University faced Gongda University, leading by 12 points.
In the semi-finals on the 4th, they met their old rival G University. The two teams had competed against each other in the grassroots competition.
Both teams are a little excited about the matchup again today.
Because we are close to each other and often participate in simulation competitions together, we have a pretty good relationship.
I thought this game would be a bit difficult, but unexpectedly, Big G performed poorly and frequently gave the ball to the opponent.
Wei Chuan was substituted after playing for half the game.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the audience entered the venue one after another.
Meng Tang was a little uncomfortable sitting in the front row at first.
Fortunately, there was a railing blocking the front row. Meng Tang grabbed the railing and felt inexplicably nervous.
After waiting for half an hour, Meng Tang's heart rate reached an unprecedented high as the cheers of welcoming the players entered the field.
Wei Chuan is not the tallest player on the scene, but he is definitely the fairest and most handsome one.
When greeting the audience, he winked at the first row in a showy manner, which was completely subconscious.
Meng Tang's pupils were trembling and his eardrums were almost damaged.
The live camera just happened to sweep over Meng Tang at this moment.
Many people in the barrage speculated whether Wei Chuan winked at her.
Meng Tang avoided the camera and his eyes fell on Wei Chuan.
After the first long whistle, the referee held the ball in the center circle and guided the players on both sides to prepare for the jump ball.
The centers of both teams tensed their muscles. The second whistle cut through the air, and the two of them shot up at the same time. Tian Yu, with his arm span advantage, touched the ball first.
Nanchuan's defense came up, Tian Yu raised his hand to pass the ball, hit the ground and passed it out.
Wei Chuan caught the ball like a ghost, took a half step back, and quickly shot a three-pointer.
The whole audience went crazy, and the game started with another three points.
The team took advantage of this three-pointer in the first quarter, and it seemed like Wei Chuan's personal show afterwards. At the end of the quarter, the team was leading by 12 points.
Everyone in the barrage was cursing Nanchuan, saying what a crappy game he played.
Of course, there were also many people who laughed at Wei Chuan, saying that he played ball like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
During the break, Wei Chuan turned around and smiled at Meng Tang, but only for one second.
In the second quarter, Nanchuan adjusted its tactics and ended up with a tie.
In the third quarter, Z Da tried hard to widen the score, but was kept close by Nanchuan, and the game ended in a tie again in the fourth quarter.
89:89, entering overtime.
Overtime is five minutes and can be extended multiple times.
The commentator came on again: "It's clear that the competition for the Southeast King title is fierce. By the end, both sides have been very physically exhausted. It all depends on who can hold on."
"The real final begins now, Nanchuan serves first..."
Wei Chuan stuck to the opponent's point guard, predicted the situation, and immediately exerted force. His fingertips brushed the edge of the basketball and pointed the ball towards the sideline.
In a back-and-forth, Wei Chuan dribbled past two players, and the basketball hit the edge of the rim and bounced up, and everyone at the scene was pessimistic.
But at this moment, Wei Chuan jumped up again in the air and put the ball in with one hand.
The time was exactly one minute, and the biggest fans in the stadium instantly screamed and cheered.
Shortly afterwards, Nanchuan also scored a goal, another three-pointer.
With two minutes left, Z made an extra-long pass, and Shao Yiming finally scored two points.
The two teams chased each other and neither gave in.
With 47 seconds left, Wei Chuan gestured to his teammates, and like a sharp arrow, he tore through Nanchuan's defense and accurately passed the ball to his teammates.
Z scored two more points, and the ball fell into Nanchuan's hands. Wei Chuan stuck to it and surrounded it with his teammates and intercepted it directly.
Everyone at the scene held their breath, and Wei Chuan rushed towards the opponent's basket with the ball like the wind.
Nanchuan was slow to return to defense, allowing Wei Chuan to dunk the last ball into the basket single-handedly.
The game ended with a score of 98:95, and Z University won the crown of the Southeast King and advanced to the national competition.
Wei Chuan and his teammates hugged each other tightly to celebrate the victory, and the audience all stood up.
Meng Tang squinted his eyes and clapped stupidly.
About ten seconds later, a figure suddenly rushed over, grabbed her shoulders through the thick railing, picked her up and carried her over the railing.
