The basketball court at Tongcheng University.
The school basketball team members are undergoing intense training in preparation for the Tongcheng City University Basketball League Finals in two days.
Li Yinan, the head coach of the school basketball team, stood outside the training ground, giving instructions to the team.
"Wang Ba, hurry up!"
"Li Xuekai, what are you doing? Shoot a three-pointer!!"
"With this kind of performance, how do you expect to beat the Tongcheng University of Technology team!"
...
Several key members of the Tongcheng University team were thoroughly humiliated and demoralized after being scolded by Coach Li Yinan.
The Tongcheng University of Technology team is the strongest school team in Tongcheng City besides Tongcheng University.
Tongcheng City values sports and has a strong basketball atmosphere. More than a dozen universities in the city organize college leagues every year. Tongcheng University team is a long-established strong team. In recent years, under the leadership of Li Yinan, the team has achieved good results, maintaining a top-5 position in the league. Two years ago, they even achieved a good result of second place in the city's college basketball league.
If Tongcheng University is a long-established powerhouse, then Tongcheng University of Technology, which is only 5 kilometers away from Tongcheng University, is the absolute king among all the university teams in Tongcheng!
They have maintained their first-place ranking in the university league for five consecutive years!
This year, Tongcheng University's basketball team produced two basketball prodigies, Wang Ba and Li Xuekai, which significantly improved the team's overall strength.
Therefore, Li Yinan confidently assured Principal Zhang that he would win this year's college basketball league championship!
However, what Coach Li Yinan did not expect was that the Tongcheng Industrial Team was stronger than in previous years, and their school team also had a player named Chen Rongzhi, who was hailed as a super genius in high school!
According to the statistics from this college league preliminary round, Chen Rongzhi's three-point shooting percentage is 66%, with an average score of 36 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 dunks per game!
This data is still without him playing at his full potential, because in the preliminary rounds, he never played more than two quarters each time!
In the Tongcheng University team's preliminary round, Li Xuekai had the highest three-point shooting percentage on the team, reaching 48%, and averaged 25 points per game. Wang Ba had the most dunks on the team, averaging 3 per game and 29 points per game!
But Li Xuekai and Wang Ba played almost all four quarters in every game!
Therefore, Chen Rongzhi's personal abilities far surpass those of Wang Ba and Li Xuekai!
This is a super genius who is even more terrifying than Wang Ba and Li Xuekai!
The Tongcheng Industrial Team was already very strong, and with the addition of Chen Rongzhi, they have remained undefeated among the dozen or so university teams in the city.
Currently, no university team can suppress the Tongcheng Industrial Team in the competition.
The Tongcheng University team and the Tongcheng Industrial team played a total of two matches this year.
In a friendly match, Tongcheng University lost to Tongcheng Industrial Team by 10 points. In another match, a preliminary round of the university league, Tongcheng University lost to Tongcheng Industrial Team by 16 points!
In both games, Chen Rongzhi only played for two quarters before going to the bench to rest!
The Tongcheng University team had almost no way to deal with the Tongcheng Industrial Team.
Therefore, Coach Li Yinan was very anxious!
The finals are in two days, and he made a solemn promise to Principal Zhang Tangjin that the Tongcheng University team will definitely win the college basketball league championship this year!
However, Coach Li Yinan did not expect that Tongcheng Industrial would produce a player like Chen Rongzhi this year! He has raised the strength of the entire team to a whole new level!
This pledge was made too hastily.
Li Yinan is now regretting it a bit. He is a person who cares about his reputation more than anything else. Now, not only will he not be able to win the championship, but he will also be humiliated by the principal!
Coach Li Yinan was feeling frustrated as he pondered strategies for the match the day after tomorrow.
In the entire Tongcheng City high school basketball scene, perhaps only that kid can rival Chen Rongzhi!
Li Yinan thought of that short-haired, incredibly athletic kid who had once led the College of Arts and Philosophy team to victory over the College of Physical Education team and win this year's intramural basketball championship.
Perhaps only he could barely suppress Chen Rongzhi!
But the thought of that person made Li Yinan angry.
He clearly possesses exceptional basketball talent, yet he shows no interest in the sport. What a waste of his talent!
What's even more infuriating is that in order to get him to participate in the finals of the university league competition, Li Yinan put aside his position as the head coach of the school team and went to see him three times in person, trying to persuade him with kind words, but the other party just wouldn't agree!
How awful!
Doesn't Li Yinan have any pride?!
The school basketball team's training session ended with Coach Li Yinan's angry reprimands.
After training, the main players and substitutes of the school team picked up their bags, grabbed their bottled water, and slipped away one by one, running faster than anyone else, afraid of being late and getting a scolding from the short-tempered coach.
In the eyes of these team members, defeating the Tongcheng Industrial Team was almost impossible!
Losing is fine, second place is not bad!
~~
After Li Xuekai and Wang Ba finished training, Coach Li Yinan kept them behind.
After giving Li Xuekai and Wang Ba a look that said "Take care, brothers," the other teammates quickly made their escape.
However, to Li Xuekai and Wang Ba's surprise, Coach Li Yinan did not use foul language this time. Instead, he calmly asked the two of them a question.
"Are you two confident about playing against Tongcheng Industrial Team the day after tomorrow?"
Li Xuekai silently lowered his head, looked at his toes, and shook his head. Wang Ba, on the other hand, didn't look at the coach, but his arrogant gaze swept towards the distant woods. However, his eyes had already told Li Yinan the answer.
"This year, the strength of the Tongcheng Industrial Team has exceeded my expectations and surpassed any previous edition, so it's normal that we can't beat them. Besides, we have already made history and achieved our best result ever, winning second place in the college league!"
There's nothing shameful about not getting first place!
Li Yinan said helplessly.
"So, don't feel pressured for the finals the day after tomorrow. Just give it your all."
After Li Yinan finished speaking, he forced a smile.
silence.
Suddenly, Li Xuekai spoke up: "Coach, don't you want to defeat Tongcheng Industrial Team and win the university league championship?"
Li Yinan smiled wryly.
"Of course I want to, who doesn't want the championship, but..."
Why not ask Zhang Yuan for help?
If we let Zhang Yuan from the School of Arts and Philosophy join the school team, maybe we can beat Tongcheng Industrial!
Li Xuekai said.
Li Xuekai also wanted to win the college league championship and give Tongcheng Industrial Team a good thrashing for their arrogant attitude!
So, like Coach Li Yinan, he thought of one person: Zhang Yuan from the School of Humanities!
A man who terrifies him on the basketball court!
When Zhang Yuan was mentioned, Wang Ba and Li Yinan had different reactions.
Wang Ba had an instinctive aversion to Zhang Yuan. That kid had stolen the woman he liked, and he had a deep grudge against him. So naturally, Wang Ba didn't want to see Zhang Yuan, and he didn't want Zhang Yuan to participate in the finals!
The top player on the Tongcheng University team should be Wang Ba!
If Zhang Yuan goes too, he'll probably steal the spotlight again!
Therefore, Wang Ba was not happy.
A glint of light flashed in Coach Li Yinan's eyes, but it quickly dimmed again. He smiled bitterly and said, "Zhang Yuan?"
I've invited that brat three times already, but unfortunately, he's really not interested in basketball and he refused!
What a promising talent!
What a pity!
Li Yinan shook his head and sighed, his tone filled with disappointment and regret!
"Coach, perhaps I have a way!"
Li Xuekai gave Coach Li Yinan a sly smile.
As the undisputed star player of the Tongcheng University basketball team, Li Xuekai not only trains his basketball skills diligently every day, but he also has a hobby: studying those who are better at basketball than him.
Ever since Zhang Yuan led the School of Arts and Philosophy team to win the school basketball league championship, Li Xuekai has included Zhang Yuan on his research list and has studied Zhang Yuan carefully.
According to the information he gathered, Zhang Yuan was someone who liked to sleep in class, didn't like to interact with girls, was usually taciturn, and even had some strange behavior. His only hobby was his love of money.
It is said that Zhang Yuan was willing to participate in the College of Arts and Philosophy basketball tournament in order to win the prize money.
If that's the case, he's confident he can persuade Zhang Yuan to participate in the final match against Tongcheng Industrial Team the day after tomorrow!
Li Yinan clearly didn't quite believe what Li Xuekai said.
He asked Li Xuekai, "What's your plan?"
Li Xuekai: "Coach Li, if you grant me one request, I'm confident I can get Zhang Yuan into the finals the day after tomorrow."
Li Yinan: "What are your requirements? Speak!"
Li Xuekai leaned close to Li Yinan and whispered something to him. Then, the two of them laughed at the same time.
