Chapter 14 Burning Fighting Spirit

In the first game of the new semester, the Firefoxes with the ferocious offense completely dismantled the opponent's defense, the results of the holiday training finally appeared, the rhythm of the entire game completely in the feet of Lin Mingyang, and Thomas in the veritable play of his scoring machine at the same time, and even for his teammates to send out six assists, the team won by a large margin, Thomas got the highest score of the season single game, and Lin Mingyang was the best of the game with excellent offensive and defensive data, the team was immersed in a huge joy. Ming Yang was awarded the game's best with outstanding offensive and defensive statistics, and the team was immersed in a great joy.

It was a great start, but unfortunately the Firefoxes suffered an accident in the second game. Before the game, from coach Jefferson to the ordinary players, they all thought it would be an easy game to take, but the final result was a big cold.

This game, including Lin Mingyang, had somewhat belittled their opponents, for which the whole team had paid a heavy price. The opening Firefox encountered the other side of the stubborn resistance, a long time to attack the Firefox players began to be a little impatient, the field errors increased significantly, while the opponent is the use of defensive counterattacks to score quickly.

Lin Mingyang tried to stabilize the team's rhythm a few times, but it was hard for him to reverse the whole situation on the court. Pushed by the opponent, Thomas almost forgot about his prior agreement with Lin Ming Yang and forced himself to break through as soon as he got the ball. Jefferson replaced a batch of players, but still did not stabilize the team's already chaotic position, and finally the Firefoxes lost the game at their own doorstep in a very dishonorable manner.

You can imagine how ugly Jefferson's face was after the game. All the players in the locker room were sitting with their heads hanging down, and the boos from the whole stadium at the end of the game had put a heavy psychological burden on them. Jefferson was called to his office by the disgraced principal to give him a scolding, along with the anger of the loss, which would be taken out on the players. Before the storm, the atmosphere in the locker room was depressing to the extreme.

Jefferson walked into the locker room with an iron color, and the anger he had been holding back since the end of the game was finally ejected without fear. As the captain, Lin Mingyang took the brunt of the front. "Felix, tell me were you sleepwalking on the court today? As a point guard, you haven't touched the ball on the court as many times as the opposing team's power forward, what are you treating the game as, a game?"

In the face of his coach's accusations, Lin Mingyang chose to remain silent, despite the fact that he was the only member of the Firefoxes who hadn't performed so much as dropped points today, he had indeed made some serious mistakes in this game. As a member of the team, he had an unshirkable responsibility for the loss.

Lin Mingyang's attitude sent a clear signal to all his teammates, whether it was Jefferson accusing Thomas of having "no brain at all and being as stupid as a pig" on the court, or cursing center Evan's performance as if he had "eaten shit", or small forward Kent's performance on defense. Forward Kent was "as soft as a woman" on defense, and everyone took it in stride.

Jefferson finally calmed down after a furious outburst. For the failure, he also did self-examination, which let the scolded players finally feel better.

"It was an abject humiliation, and even with a win against us, Cook High School is a team with absolutely no hope of making the finals. It's unlikely that we'll meet them again during the season, but we're going to vent our vengeful fury on our next opponents and tear them apart!" Jefferson slammed his fist on the locker beside him, and before he left, he gave a stern message, "Guys, if you still want to hang around at Moss Middle School, you're going to win every single one of these next games!"

After Jefferson left, all in the locker room breathed a sigh of relief. Thomas stood up and viciously remained his towel on the floor, "That was a hell of a game to lose!"

"Felix, what should we do next?" All the players had been knocked out by the blistering reprimand Jefferson had just given them, and everyone looked at Lin Mingyang unanimously as he was now the recognized core of the team.

"Maybe we won the last game beautifully, so a lot of players, including me, had some thoughts in this game that had nothing to do with playing! For a while now I know everyone has been having a great time because we keep winning, but after today, I wonder if everyone will feel embarrassed walking around the school?" Lin Mingyang swept his gaze across the faces of the crowd, many of whom lowered their heads.

"Maybe you're playing to get an athletic scholarship or to attract the attention of a certain girl, leave behind those thoughts that have nothing to do with winning the game!" Lin Mingyang clenched the bath towel in his hand, "We have no choice left but to keep winning!"

He extended his right hand, "In order to win, I need your help!"

Thomas was the first to put his hand on it, and the rest of his teammates followed suit, with a roar of "victory" that resounded throughout the locker room!

Jefferson, who had just walked out of the gym, also heard this roar, he stopped walking, turned his head to look in the direction of the locker room, and the corners of his grinning mouth finally revealed a hint of gratification.

With the fire of vengeance, the Fire Foxes slaughtered their old rivals on the road, and after the game the rivals declared that they had encountered "the bloodiest team in the history of the game".

In the first quarter of the game, the Firefoxes attacked and the other team defended, and at the end of the first quarter, the difference in score between the two teams was not very big.

Overwhelming advantage appeared in the second quarter, the face of still all the way back to the opponents, the Firefox did not make the same mistakes and the last game, Lin Mingyang and Thomas's outstanding outburst led the team to play a 18:0 offensive climax, then the other side although the organization of the counter-attack, but the Firefox was dead against back, the Firefox team with a 26-point lead into the second half.

In the third quarter, the Foxes' offense slowed down, and the other team then launched a counterattack. The Firefoxes used the other team's mistakes to play a few beautiful defensive counterattack, the main players were replaced to rest, the performance of the replacement players on the field is also fierce and hard to stop, the end of the third quarter, the results of the whole game has been revealed in advance.

The last quarter of the game is completely the Firefoxes show time, on a wave after wave of offense will be the other side completely blow, the game completely into the garbage time. When the whistle blew for the end of the game, the Firefoxes were ahead of the other team by 42 points, which broke the record for the highest point differential in the league.

Because several other teams with similar points to the Firefoxes came in with poor records, the Firefoxes took this crucial game, which was equivalent to an early ticket to the finals. The Firefoxes played the rest of the game with ease, and all eyes were already on the upcoming final.

According to the final standings, 8 teams were selected to enter the final. The Firefox encountered a tough opponent in the first game, the opponent was the old enemy that knocked them out of the final last season, the game was extremely tough, the score was stalemate, both sides played a little impatient, the Firefox took advantage of the opponent's mistakes in the fourth quarter to take the lead, and finally narrowly won a game.

The opponent's counterattack also looked unusually fierce, the next two games, the Firefox team struggled to support, and finally or successive defeats, the other side grabbed the game point, was forced to the end of the Firefox once again exploded into a powerful fighting force, two consecutive games, with a 3:2 victory into the semifinals.

The Firefoxes, with their winning streak, swept their semi-final opponents 3:0, and the team's all-around form reached an unprecedented peak. The school gave all the players a three-day vacation to celebrate this unprecedented victory. Although Jefferson had announced that there was no need for any training until the final opponents arose, the players still came to the school on their own initiative to do some regular practice under the leadership of Lin Mingyang.

Lin Mingyang had sent several e-mails to Megan one after another in the past few days, but the other party had never replied, which had cast a faint haze over Lin Mingyang's joyful mood. Lin Mingyang wasn't a guy who was very ambitious in basketball, but Megan's departure had loaded him with the heart of a champion. He sat on the roof outside the window and looked at the sparkling night sky, an inexplicable melancholy suddenly surged in his heart.

The two twinkling stars in the distant sky resembled Megan's blinking eyes, and Lin Ming Yang found himself now filled with that girl's sweet smile. Could it be that he had fallen in love with that girl that he had only touched three times? This thought popped out of Lin Ming Yang's head, startling himself, and he shook his head, trying to keep himself from thinking about those messy things.

Just at this time, the computer in the house dripped and beeped with a soft beep, Lin Ming Yang climbed back into his hut from the window and couldn't wait to open his mailbox. When he saw that the sender column shows the words "Megan Fox", his heart's frustration was instantly squeezed out by the swelling joy, and after reading the other party's message, his mood is like a rocket, all of a sudden from the bottom of the high up.

"When you hold the championship trophy, I will appear in front of you!"

If it wasn't for the fact that it was late at night and he was afraid of disturbing the rest of his parents and the surrounding neighbors, Lin Ming Yang really wanted to yell at the sky, and even he himself uttered a clear explanation as to why he was being gripped by this inexplicable and wonderful mood of joy. He was as excited as a child now, where was the calmness of a two-life person left, from the beginning of the young and old to now gradually being infected by his own surroundings, Lin Ming Yang realized that his mind was getting closer and closer to the actual age of his body. He had completely adapted to his identity and had thoroughly integrated into this era.
