Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"boom!"

With a dull thud, the White Team's shot missed, and at this time the White Team was trailing by 3 points.

The fans outside the stadium cried out in regret: "Why didn't Zhuang Yu shoot the ball himself? If he had shot it, he would have definitely scored."

"Yes, as long as Zhuang Yu scores a three-pointer, the score will be tied."

"We are now three points behind and there is only a little over a minute left. Time is running out."

At this time, the score difference between the two teams was only three points, and the white team was behind. Zhuang Yu was on the white team. If Zhuang Yu had shot this ball, he would have probably caught up with the score. However, Zhuang Yu did not shoot himself, but passed the ball to his teammates, asking them to execute the shot.

It's just a pity that I didn't make the shot.

Hearing the discussions of the fans outside the stadium, the young man who had just missed the three-pointer felt a little depressed and lowered his head in dejection.

He also wondered if he was too impulsive. He had the NBA superstar Zhuang Yu on his side, so the key shot should have been given to Zhuang Yu.

If Zhuang Yu had taken the shot, it would have definitely gone in.

At this time, Zhuang Yu walked past him, patted him on the shoulder, and consoled him: "It's okay, it's just a missed shot. You should still take the shot resolutely next time you have a chance. Don't be discouraged. I believe you will be able to make the next shot."

The young man raised his head and looked at Zhuang Yu. Seeing Zhuang Yu's encouraging eyes, his eyes bloomed again and he nodded heavily and said, "Yes."

With more than a minute left in the game, the red team attacked.

After arriving at the front court, Zhuang Yu still stepped forward to defend, and the opponent immediately chose to pass the ball when he saw Zhuang Yu coming up, and Zhuang Yu did not switch to defend the ball holder. In the last two minutes, he did not intend to use his strength to dominate the game, whether on the offensive or defensive end.

If he really takes action, the game will be meaningless.

Seeing that Zhuang Yu did not switch defense, the players of the Red Team breathed a sigh of relief.

If Zhuang Yu switches defense and actively defends the player with the ball, it will be difficult for the Red Team to play, because facing Zhuang Yu's defense, they dare not even dribble the ball and will be intercepted if they are not careful.

After two passes, the red team chose to shoot from the outside.

boom!

But it didn't go in either.

“Neither.”

"The chance for this ball was there, but it was a pity that I couldn't make the shot."

Some fans were discussing and some were regretful.

Zhuang Yu shook his head slightly. These teenagers were still very enthusiastic in playing basketball, but they were still young and their ability to play key balls was still a little lacking.

The white team got the ball and when they came to the frontcourt, the players of the white team wanted to give the ball to Zhuang Yu immediately. However, Zhuang Yu waved at the opponent and moved himself to the right corner outside the three-point line. The meaning was very clear, that is, I will move the players away and you can play on yourselves.

Several players from the white team exchanged glances, while several players from the red team couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Zhuang Yu would come to play this ball, as they would not be able to defend it no matter what. But as long as it wasn't Zhuang Yu who came to play it, it would be fine.

"Be careful."

"There are only a few dozen seconds left to defend this ball..."

People outside the stadium were shouting loudly, cheering for the red team.

Several players on the white team made a simple tactical cooperation, but they were unable to get a good chance, and finally the ball was given to the young man who had just missed the three-pointer.

The boy's name is Yang Chenggang. He is about to enter the second year of high school. He is only 16 years old, but he is already one of the starting players of Jiangning No. Middle School basketball team. He is a very talented boy.

He was very upset and even a little depressed because he missed the three-pointer just now, but Zhuang Yu's comfort cheered him up again.

At this moment, he held the ball at his waist and stood outside the three-point line, but his eyes were looking at Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu gestured to him and gave him an encouraging look.

Yang Chenggang took a deep breath and chose to do it himself.

He first took a step forward, made a breakthrough, and pretended to rush to the right. The defensive player quickly retreated and moved sideways, while Yang Chenggang dribbled the ball behind his back, retreated instead of advancing, pulled the ball back, and at the same time tapped his toes on the floor, retreated to the three-point line, and then jumped up.

Another three-point shot.

Yang Chenggang's idol is Zhuang Yu, so he would subconsciously imitate Zhuang Yu during the game. He also paid great attention to three-point shooting training in his daily training. Three-point shooting is also one of his main scoring methods and he shoots very well.

He just missed a three-pointer, and now he took another three-pointer, which made people outside the court worried. Will this ball go in?

Swish!

With a slight sound, the basketball drew a beautiful arc and finally went into the net.

"nice shot."

"Well done, Yang Chenggang is awesome."

People cheered loudly and cheered for Yang Chenggang's three-pointer.

Yang Chenggang himself was also very excited, waving his fists excitedly, and his teammates also ran towards him and high-fived him to celebrate.

"Good shot." Zhuang Yu stretched out his hand.

Yang Chenggang and Zhuang Yu high-fived each other, grinning foolishly as they retreated.

The ball went in and the score between the two teams was tied.

Now the Red Team felt the pressure. There were only thirty seconds left in the game, the score between the two sides was tied, and the Red Team had the ball. After they came to the frontcourt, they were not in a hurry to attack, but instead compressed the time and waited until there were only a few seconds left in the 24-second attack time before starting the attack.

There was nothing wrong with this strategy, but they didn't play decisively enough. They were still passing the ball until only a few seconds were left, and in the end they had to force a shot after passing the ball back and forth.

boom!

The basketball bounced out of the basket and the 24 seconds were up.

At this time, there were only 11 seconds left in the game.

There was no need to call a timeout in this kind of performance game. Zhuang Yu from the red team grabbed the rebound and then passed it to Yang Chenggang.

Yang Chenggang came to the frontcourt, first glanced at the timer, and then decisively chose to do it himself. He called for a pick-and-roll, and with the help of his teammates, he moved to the left, raised his center of gravity and pretended to make another three-pointer. The defensive player was startled and subconsciously tiptoed forward.

However, Yang Chenggang did not shoot a three-pointer. It was just a fake move. Then he accelerated and broke through, running straight to the basket with the ball.

beep!

boom!

The whistle blows.

The ball was not scored, but it caused a foul by the defensive player, and Yang Chenggang had to stand on the free throw line to take two free throws.

"Well done." Zhuang Yu smiled and high-fived Yang Chenggang.

Yang Chenggang's choice for this ball was correct. With the score tied, the natural thing was to rush inside as much as possible. If he could score, that would be the best. Even if he couldn't, there was hope of causing the opponent to foul. And even if he failed to cause a foul, he had to use up all the playing time.

Fortunately, Yang Chenggang successfully caused a foul. He stood on the free throw line and made the first free throw steadily. Unfortunately, he missed the second free throw.

"pity......"

Yang Chenggang was a little annoyed and still a little nervous.

Fortunately, they only gave the Red Team two seconds.

The red team sends the ball out and then immediately has to throw it forward. This type of shot is too difficult, especially for a group of high school students.

drop......

The whistle sounded to signal the end of the game, but the Red Team was unable to perform a miracle in the last two seconds and lost to the White Team by one point.

This made the players of the Red Team a little depressed, but they were not dissatisfied.

Before, when Zhuang Yu was on their red team, he helped them lead by more than ten points. After switching to the white team, it was no big deal that he helped the team catch up with the score.

In the last two minutes, Zhuang Yu didn't make a single move.

He didn't even try his best on defense. He left the game to other players on the red and white teams. No matter which side won, it was fair play.

A group of white team players hugged each other and celebrated excitedly.

Although this was just an exhibition match, they were playing with Zhuang Yu, which meant a lot to them and made the victory more valuable.

Zhuang Yu high-fived the players of the white team and the red team one by one, and also gave Yang Chenggang some encouragement. He said that this young man was very talented and had a big heart. He was indeed a promising talent.

After the exhibition match, there will be a lucky draw.

Zhuang Yu randomly selected a few lucky fans to give away his autographed sneakers and jerseys...

After the lucky draw, the event came to an end.

At this time, the host handed the microphone to Zhuang Yu, wanting Zhuang Yu to say a few final words.

Zhuang Yu took the microphone and said, "This is my first time back since I left Jiangning No. 1 Middle School. The school has changed a lot. There are more teaching buildings and the basketball court is different from before. But I still found many familiar things, such as the huge ginkgo tree in front of the canteen, the student dormitory behind the senior teaching building, the three-story cafeteria, and the row of small-leaf banyan trees next to the stadium... Seeing these familiar things reminded me of when I was studying at Jiangling No. 3 Middle School."

"At that time, I was just like you, still a teenager, full of youth and vigor. My dream at that time was to win the national high school league championship. Later, I had another dream, which was to become a professional player."

"For me at that time, the dream was very far away, but no matter how far away it was, I still had to have a dream."

Zhuang Yu shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "What if it comes true?"

Suddenly, people started laughing and applauding.

Zhuang Yu added: "Young people should have dreams and pursue them."

The group of young men became excited and their eyes lit up when they heard this.

However, there are some people who are shaking their heads. It’s not that they don’t have dreams, but that dreams are out of reach for them.

After all, there is only one Zhuang Yu, and they do not have the same talent as Zhuang Yu. The best result for them may be to get into a good university and play Cuba. If they want to play from high school to college, and then from college to the professional league... that is too difficult.

Taking in the expressions of the people, Zhuang Yu said, "I don't know if you have the same dream of becoming a professional player as I did back then. It seemed very far away to me then, but I hope it is no longer so far away for you."

"I announce that starting today, the Shanghai Sharks Club will cooperate with Jiangning No. 1 Middle School. In the future, the youth team of the Shanghai Sharks Club will select talents from Jiangning No. 1 Middle School."

"As long as you are good enough and work hard enough, you will have the opportunity to join the Sharks youth team, or even become a signed player of the Sharks and step onto the CBA court."

“Work hard, dream chaser!”
