Rebirth of Basketball Boy
Chapter 73: Overcoming Strength with Softness
The cigarette in the middle-aged man’s hand was still curling up, and he was about to burn his fingers, but the middle-aged man was still unaware. Except for the moment Yan Lingfeng just walked in, he had been watching all the time. The evergreen trees outside the pavilion seemed to be full of fragrant flowers.
He did not look at Yan Lingfeng, but Yan Lingfeng looked at him without blinking his eyes, but Yan Lingfeng did not speak. Although the middle-aged man said nothing, Yan Lingfeng was vaguely faint. Guessed his intentions, so if he speaks first at this time, it is undoubtedly a disadvantage.
"Aren't you afraid?" the middle-aged man slowly turned around and asked indifferently.
"What are you afraid of?" Yan Lingfeng chuckled, and sat down on the wooden chair opposite the middle-aged man, "There is nothing serious about death, there is nothing wrong with the world, and the day is bright, can anyone dare to kill?"
"Naturally there is no such thing." Yan Lingfeng was smiling, but the middle-aged man didn't smile. Not only did he not smile, his expression was very colorful.
"If not, what am I afraid of?" Yan Lingfeng shrugged, looking very relaxed.
"But, do you know, there are many things in this world that are more terrifying than death." The middle-aged man seemed to finally feel the scorching heat of his cigarette butt, he threw it on the ground, and then lit a cigarette again and took a sip Said slowly.
"Maybe." Yan Lingfeng put aside his smile and nodded in response: "There are indeed many ways to make life worse than death, but I don't think these methods can be used on me now."
"You are very confident." The middle-aged man's eyes were a little surprised, and he stared at Yan Lingfeng and nodded: "It is good to be confident, but it is not good to be too confident."
Yan Lingfeng replied nonchalantly: "If you are overconfident, you are still confident, but blind self-confidence is conceited. Uncle, don't you think so?"
"Uncle?" The middle-aged man finally showed a faint smile, a weird smile, nodded and said: "You are a very funny young man, I find that I like you a little bit."
"Hehe." Yan Lingfeng also smiled and said: "There are many people who like me, but there must be many people who I want to hate me. Hearing what the uncle means, it seems that before you like me a little bit, it is very Hate me, right?"
"You are right." The middle-aged man nodded with interest: "Go on."
"But if I remember correctly, my uncle and I met for the first time, so I'm curious what qualifications I have to make you hate? So I thought of today's game, and I thought of coach Huang Cheng, so I Boldly infer, the reason you hate me is probably because of this game, right?" Yan Lingfeng said slowly, it is really hard to see a look of horror on his face.
"Very smart young man." The middle-aged man spit out a thick eye circle and said: "Then I don't need to say anything more now, do you already know how to do it."
"Of course I know." Yan Lingfeng replied with certainty: "I will work harder than in the first half, and then I will win this championship."
"Oh?" The middle-aged man said with a constant expression: "You are a smart man. A smart man can't do foolish things, right?"
"It should be like this." Yan Lingfeng nodded: "But sometimes smart people get confused, and I am a smart person who often gets confused."
The middle-aged man stared at Yan Lingfeng slowly and said, "Your coach Huang dare not refuse me. Why are you?"
Yan Lingfeng looked straight into the eyes of the middle-aged man without fear and stood up suddenly: "I don't rely on anything! I rely on my conscience! With the support of the audience! So, Uncle I’m sorry, I think you’ve found the wrong person! The second half of the game is about to start, and I’m leaving."
"Haha." The middle-aged man smiled without anger, slowly patted his palm and said: "Have the courage! Have the backbone! I like you more and more, the game is still early, don't worry, sit down and let's talk. meeting."
"If you don't talk too much, I don't think there should be any common topics between my uncle and me?" Yan Lingfeng stopped and asked without looking back.
The middle-aged man took out a purse from his side and said to Yan Lingfeng: "There is 100,000 yuan in it, real money, as long as you agree to my terms, then the money will be yours."
"Oh?" Yan Lingfeng laughed suddenly, very strangely, "This is called a big stick, a carrot? The big stick doesn't work, so change the carrot?"
The middle-aged man also smiled, nodded and said; "You can understand this way."
"One hundred thousand yuan, the uncle is really willing to pay for the capital! I am afraid that even the principal of a vocational high school does not have such a big hand, right?"
The middle-aged man raised the purse in his hand, then opened the zipper with a "swipe" sound, revealing a stack of red tickets, very beautiful red.
"I'm not the principal of a vocational high school, I'm just a student who was expelled from a vocational high school." The middle-aged man slowly said: "My alma mater has forgotten me, but I have never forgotten it, because if there were no two I’m afraid I’m already a pile of broken bones in the graveyard by this time in my school life."
Having said this, a trace of sorrow flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man, it was a kind of real sorrow, the kind that hurt in the thigh.
Yan Lingfeng remained unmoved, and asked slowly: "Out of love and attachment to his alma mater, so uncle, you hope that a high-level post can bring this champion back to glory?"
"There is another reason." After hearing Yan Lingfeng's question, the middle-aged man pulled out from his memories and said slowly: "The coach of a high school is my father!"
"Oh." Yan Lingfeng nodded stupidly, and there was already a trace of pity in the eyes of the middle-aged man. After thinking about it for a while, he laughed and said: "Suppress people with power, tempting people with profit, moving people with love, uncle It’s really ubiquitous! But I’m very clear to tell you that I will win this championship! Unless I die, or I break my legs and feet, otherwise I will climb onto the court even if I climb. Help my team! Basketball is sacred, maybe in your eyes, it is just entertainment, but in my mind, it is a sacred mission! Go all out for victory, what I value most is not the result , But the process of hard work, the passion to fight side by side with the brothers, the trophy under the shady curtain is not a trophy of honor, but a trophy of shame! I think if my father really loves basketball, then he will definitely not agree with you Practice. If he knows your behavior and does not stop it, then I will beat him on the basketball court even more, because I want to tell him that the blasphemy of basketball is disrespect for oneself! People do not respect themselves, so what about others Respect him? Uncle, I also tell you clearly, I like money, I like it, but I like some money, and I hate some money! 100,000 is indeed a huge sum of money for me now, but for the future I don’t know. There are many ways to make money, but it is difficult to make money cleanly. Uncle must also watch the NBA. Then I can tell you now that this year’s NBA regular season MVP must be Steve Nash, and The championship will definitely be the San Antonio Spurs! I just saw the betting odds a few days ago. Steve Nash is awarded the MVP. The current odds are only 1 to 230. It doesn’t need to be too much. I can earn as long as I have 400 dollars. To 100,000 yuan, then why should I betray my conscience?"
Yan Lingfeng said so much in one breath, her mouth was humble, without a moment's pause, after finishing speaking, she walked away without taking away a cloud, leaving the middle-aged man who was still in a daze and continued to be dazed.
"and many more!"
Yan Lingfeng had already walked out of the pavilion, but the middle-aged man suddenly called him, stood up and watched Yan Lingfeng nodded gently and said, "Maybe, what you said is right. Yan Lingfeng, remember me. My name is Jiao Yunfeng. If you encounter trouble in the future, you can come to Fengyun Company to find me!"
"Definitely!" Yan Lingfeng already understood what Jiao Yunfeng meant, so he nodded heartily and said: "Brother Jiao, you are actually not old at all, haha!"
When Yan Lingfeng returned to the stadium, she found that Zhu Yao and others were not on the stadium. In surprise, she saw Lu Yunxue trotting over, panting, and asked with concern: "Ling Feng, where did you go? Teacher Zhu Worrying about your safety, I have been looking for you everywhere with Feiying."
"Um." Yan Lingfeng touched the back of his head awkwardly, and said with a wry smile: "It's hard to say a word. I will tell you in detail when I have time. The game is about to start. I'm going to get Mr. Zhu and the others back. !"
"Well, I'll go with you!" Hearing Yan Lingfeng's words, Lu Yunxue didn't ask any more, and nodded to find someone with Yan Lingfeng.
"Ling Feng, don't go, the game is about to start, save some energy, we can go find them!" Song Deming, the monitor of the eighteenth class of high school, also ran over at this time and discouraged.
Yan Lingfeng thought for a while, nodded and apologized: "Then the squad leader will be troublesome!"
Song Deming waved his hand and said, "What is the trouble? You should, you are winning glory for the school, and even more for our class. We are all proud of you!"
After saying this, Song Deming mobilized the students from the eighteenth class of high school to look for Zhu Yao and others. Yan Lingfeng’s eyes flashed with moving colors, and he sat on the chair and took a sip of water, asking him to slightly The excitement calmed down. I heard this sentence in my previous life. The most precious classmate friendship was in high school. Now it seems to be the case. High school students’ minds are relatively simpler, and the exchanges between classmates are also very simple. Little is linked to the financial background. Utilitarianism will prevail only after entering the university.
Yan Lingfeng put down the water bottle, stood up and walked in front of the referee and explained: "Teacher referee, there is a small situation on our side. It may delay a little time, is it okay?"
"What do you mean?" The referee glared at Yan Lingfeng. After thinking about it, he stretched out two fingers and said: "Twenty minutes! I will give you another twenty minutes at most. If you can't play after twenty minutes, In the game, I would think that you voluntarily abstained, understand?"
Yan Lingfeng nodded immediately and said: "No problem, trouble."
"Yeah." The referee waved his hand seemingly impatiently, but Yan Lingfeng knew that this was the referee's mercy. The intermission was only 20 minutes, but he gave another 20 minutes in one breath and wanted to come to him. He is not willing to enforce only half of the game.
In less than twenty minutes, less than two minutes, most of Zhu Yao and the team members who were looking for Yan Lingfeng rushed back. They didn't go far, but searched separately on the campus, so they hurried back soon.
After seeing the safe and sound Yan Lingfeng, Zhu Yao obviously took a breath, patted him on the shoulder and reprimanded slightly angrily: "What are you kid doing? Missing is fun, isn't it?"
Yan Lingfeng smiled bitterly: "Teacher, I will explain to you later? The game will start again soon."
Zhu Yao knew that Yan Lingfeng was not a person who didn't know the severity. The sentence just now was mostly complaining, so after a suspicious look at him, he didn't ask any more, nodded and greeted the slightly panting players to his side. He opened his mouth and said: "I have just thought about it. The opponents are now behind. They will definitely have a fierce attack at the beginning of the second half. So at this stage, we will focus on defense for the time being and tighten the fence. They won't have much. Cheap. Try not to fall into position when attacking, as long as you can play fast, never hesitate!"
"Zhao Senming, Huang Wenyi, Yan Lingfeng, Fu Zijun, Han Dengyun, the five of you are on the court, remember, don’t go head-to-head with your opponents. There is a saying that is soft and weak, and the world is more than water, but you are fighting against Mozhi. Can win! Use softness to overcome strength and skillfulness to defeat clumsy, you must remember these eight words!"
