Yang Lin secretly thought that something was wrong. Murong Feng appeared mysteriously behind her. This meant that she had seen the whole scene just now. Although Yang Lin felt that he had a clear conscience, Murong Feng might not be reasonable.
He turned around with a strong composure and said, "We're going to break up, so why should we chase after each other?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Yang Lin wanted to slap himself in the mouth. What did he say? He obviously wanted to say goodbye, but for a moment he was nervous and his brain short-circuited and he said it was a breakup. Now he couldn't wash it off even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
"Okay! It turns out that you have been entangled with her. Why don't you care about me at all?" Murong Feng looked furious, even looking at Yang Lin with disgust and disdain, "Since you said you want to Break up, then break up! I hate such a half-hearted man like you the most!"
After Murong Feng finished speaking, she turned around and left. Yang Lin hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Feng, listen to my explanation!"
Murong Feng turned around, rounded her arms, and slapped Yang Lin in the face with a loud slap. She said bitterly: "I don't want to hear your explanation! I don't want to hear it now, and I don't want to hear it in the future! I only believe what I saw with my own eyes." See you! Yang Lin, from today on, we are done with each other. You don¡¯t know me, and I don¡¯t know you either. Don¡¯t bother me anymore. I can¡¯t bear the thought of a rich, handsome, and young woman like you!"
Yang Lin froze on the spot, covering his red and swollen face, his heart was filled with despair.

Time flies and it¡¯s the day before the semi-finals of the city¡¯s competition. Huapu Middle School canceled the evening tactical drill to reserve energy for the next day's game, and instead conducted pre-war arrangements in the basketball club office.
Lu Sen and Yang Lin arrived at the club office early. After waiting for a long time, no one came. It was not until five minutes after the meeting time that Liang Tianjian walked into the office with a frown. Then, people came one after another, and finally two minutes passed after the meeting time. Ten minutes later, everyone arrived. And for some reason, everyone's face is clouded.
"Linzi, it's time to start." Lu Sen said.
Yang Lin seemed to have never heard of it.
"Lin Zi!" Lu Sen pushed Yang Lin, "Why are you always absent-minded recently? What happened? Could it be that you were dumped by Murong Feng?"
Yang Lin just smiled bitterly. Little did Lu Sen know that his casual teasing hit the target.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's start the pre-war arrangements." Yang Lin announced.
"Wait a minute!" Guan Mengyue interrupted.
Everyone looked at him one after another and saw Guan Mengyue, who was always smiling, now with a serious look on her face.
"Today I was robbed on my way back to school." Guan Mengyue said.
"Then what? That person didn't ask for your money, right?" Miao Shunyuan seemed to understand something and asked.
Guan Mengyue was also very smart and immediately asked: "Yes, you have encountered it too?"
Miao Shunyuan nodded and signaled Guan Mengyue to tell the matter.
"The man stopped me on a remote preaching road, pointed a dagger at my neck, and threatened me." Guan Mengyue raised her head, and everyone saw a blood mark on his neck.
"What's the purpose of that person threatening you?" Lu Sen asked.
"He said that he was a member of the underworld and that their gang had placed a heavy bet on our team, betting that we would win the city's championship. He also said that if we did not win the championship, he would make me come back to school alive without my life." Guan Mengyue shuddered.
The team members were noisy, and it was obvious that Guan Mengyue's narrative resonated with them.
Lu Sen clapped his hands a few times, signaled everyone to be quiet, and asked, "So, this has happened to you all?"
Everyone nodded.
Lu Sen smiled instead of getting angry. He picked up a pointer and knocked on the small blackboard, attracting everyone's attention. The small blackboard has the lineup of the city's competition on it. The eliminated teams have been crossed out with a black pen. There are only four teams that have not been crossed out. The matchup situation is clear at a glance - Yunda High School Affiliated to Tieyi Middle School, Hua Hua Pu Middle School vs. Zijing Middle School.
"Everyone has seen that we are only two games away from the championship. According to Fang Bo's news, the strength of Zijing Middle School, the third runner-up last year, has not been significantly improved compared to last year, but we defeated Tieyi Middle School, which was even stronger than last year. , this shows that our strength is definitely higher than Zijing Middle School, so our real opponent is only the High School Affiliated to Yunda University." Lu Sen said.
Fang Bo whispered at the side: "It's not good to say this. Last year, Zijing Middle School did not enter the finals because it met the High School Affiliated to Yunda University in the semi-finals. Really comparing the strength, it is difficult to say whether Tie No. 1 Middle School or Zijing Middle School is better. powerful."
Lu Sen ignored him and continued: "The High School Affiliated to Yunnan University is the last obstacle. Our team's goal is to win the championship."Established with ??? goals in mind, everyone is threatened today. If they don't win the championship, they will die, but the championship is already close at hand! What does this threat mean to us? They ask us to win the championship, so we show it to them! Let's fight for survival together! "
¡°Fight for survival!¡± The team members shouted in unison as the gloom swept away from their faces.
Lu Sen has made a clear analysis for everyone: If you defeat the High School Affiliated to Yunda University, your life will be safe, and you will also get the honor of the championship; if you lose to the High School Affiliated to Yunda University, everyone will die together. Retracting your head is a blow, but extending your head can save your life. Now that the matter has come to this, no one can shrink back anymore.
And what Lu Sen wants is this result. After a big victory over Changning Middle School, the two bosses of Black Lightning finally believed in the strength of Huapu Middle School. As agreed, they sent thugs to intercept the members of the Huapu school team and threatened their lives to win the competition with all their strength. champion. This is the reason Lu Sen wants to "make the whole team work hard together". Even people like Guan Mengyue who don't take the basketball game seriously now have to go all out.
"Let's take a look at the opponent we need to kill tomorrow, Zijing Middle School." Lu Sen introduced, "Fang Bo went to watch Zijing Middle School's game when we played Changning and got us the detailed information of Zijing Middle School. This school The school has been able to reach the semi-finals for many years in a row, not because they have any star players, but because of a set of tactics. It is precisely because of the existence of this set of tactics that Zijing Middle School can maintain its leading position in Yunhai City regardless of the quality of its students. Among the top teams.¡±
"What tactics are so awesome?" Song Xuguang asked curiously. Song Xuguang is not the only one who is curious. Since the practice match with Changning Middle School, the players of Huapu Middle School have paid unprecedented attention to tactics. Various tactics have allowed them to advance all the way to the semifinals. I heard that their opponents are also good at tactics, and everyone is very interested.
"This tactic is famous. If you often watch the NBA, you must have heard of it. It is the Princeton tactic that Adelman, the head coach of the Sacramento Kings, makes good use of." Lu Sen said, "The advantage of the Princeton tactic is that it can make a team with average talent A civilian team relies on exquisite coordination to defeat strong teams. Its motto is 'The strong can take advantage of the weak, and the smart can take advantage of the strong'."
Lu Sen pulled over a tactical whiteboard and drew on it with a black pen: "We are neither weak nor strong, but we are actually very smart and can give them no advantage at all. Princeton tactics will defeat them The center moved up to the high position to provide support."
Lu Sen drew a circle at the free throw line and wrote the number 5 inside, representing the center.
"At this time, our center also followed out, and the inside line was empty. Their forwards and guards had the opportunity to cut to the basket, receive the pass and easily score a layup." Lu Sen drew the movements of both sides on the tactical chart. route.
"Then how should we defend ourselves?" Liang Tianjian asked.
"It's very simple. They want to open up the inside, but we don't let them succeed. Our center stays in the penalty area. In this case, the center should directly shoot in the high post, but the information obtained by Fang Bo shows that , their center Chu Cangting is only 1.93 meters tall, we can make him lose the threat with a little interference," Lu Sen said.
"Their tactics won't be so easy to crack, right?" Fang Bo doubted.
Lu Sen was noncommittal. No one is omniscient. In fact, his understanding of Princeton's offense is quite limited. Before seeing it with his own eyes, he could only use this method to boost morale to prevent his own side from becoming timid before fighting.
"It seems that Zijin Middle School is not something to be afraid of!" Wei Chao muttered.

The next day, the game was held in the basketball hall of the High School Affiliated to Yunda University. The Huapu players are already quite familiar with this arena. They once staged a huge reversal against Tie No. 1 Middle School here. Yang Lin almost collapsed from the fight.
The stands were packed, and the audience included not only students from both sides of the competition, but also players from many schools eliminated by these two teams. The purpose of their coming here is to see how far they can go by eliminating their opponents.
Students from the High School Affiliated to Yunda University rarely showed up. They either went to Huapu Middle School to watch the match between the High School Affiliated to Yunda University and Tie No. 1 Middle School, or they sat in the classroom and watched the live TV broadcast. For such an important game as the semifinals, it was natural for the school to Cheer.
The captain of Zijing Middle School is exactly what Lu Sen mentioned. The center Chu Cangting is only 1.93 meters tall. The rest of the team members are mostly between 1.75 and 1.9 meters tall. They are wearing purple jerseys. The team's height isn't outstanding. What stands out is their coach.
The girl was only about 1.6 meters tall, with half-length short hair pinned to one side with a pink hairpin. Her almond eyes were like pebbles in a clear river, bright and deep, her lips were as red as peach blossoms, and her teeth were as white as frost and snow. bodyWearing a set of purple sportswear - it should be the spring and autumn uniforms of Zijing Middle School, but such an ordinary uniform looks energetic and heroic on her body.
There was no word "head coach" written on her face, but when she stood on the sidelines with her arms folded, everyone believed that the head coach of Zijing Middle School could not be anyone else but her.
