Chapter 112: The Qualifying Journey (4) Flying Library Web

  A large bus stopped in front of the entrance to the provincial capital's basketball arena, and a group of tall young men wearing neat sports uniforms got off the bus. Many passersby who passed by the bus had already recognized the identity of these tall young men who got off the bus, because they were the railway middle school basketball team that had almost monopolized all the high school basketball championships in the province in recent years.

  A group of students who had been waiting at the entrance of the basketball gymnasium were shouting out the names of the players on this team. Among the names shouted by these student fans, the one that sounded the loudest was "Li Feng".

  Li Feng walked among his teammates, hearing the fans shouting his name on the side of the road made this 17-year-old high school student feel a little excited. Although he didn't know how many times he had been called out by fans, Li Feng still enjoyed the moment when fans shouted his name loudly. Li Feng hoped to hear the roar of the crowd in the stadium shouting his name, and when he brought victory to his team on the field, hearing such cheers made him feel an indescribable sense of pride...

  Li Feng indeed deserves such applause. As a high school student in his second year, Li Feng is already the most dazzling high school basketball star in the province. In his first year, when he participated in the national high school basketball tournament for the first time, Li Feng showed off his extraordinary basketball talent to the world and won the title of newcomer king without any suspense. Although Li Feng's school, Railway Middle School, stopped at the semifinals, Li Feng's debut as a freshman still caused a small stir in high school basketball, with many professional youth teams sending him invitations, hoping to recruit this talented young player. However, Li Feng declined these offers because he wanted to win a national high school league championship before joining a professional team to hone his skills. Li Feng has always yearned to stand at the pinnacle of high school basketball.

  Li Feng changed into his jersey in the locker room and gazed at himself confidently in the mirror. His sharp eyes and sword-like eyebrows exuded a strong desire to fight. Last night, Li Feng had received news that the ace player from the Northeastern team that defeated him last year in the national high school league had scored 52 points by himself in their provincial qualifying match, breaking the record for the highest individual score in a single game in the national high school league. Whenever Li Feng thought of that guy wearing jersey number 9, he would feel an endless surge of competitiveness, because it was that person who snatched away the championship that he had almost won last year.

  However, Li Feng, who had always been proud, couldn't help but admit that the number nine was indeed better than himself. Although Li Feng didn't fall behind in their one-on-one match, he knew that this number nine was more excellent than himself. After the loss of the previous game, Li Feng had undergone rigorous training for a year and now his heart was filled with confidence to defeat that number nine on the court, and the determination to win the national high school championship was firmer than ever in Li Feng's heart.

  Li Feng not only has confidence in himself, but also in his excellent teammates on the team. The teammates at each position are all basketball talents selected from middle schools across the province, and this high school basketball team composed of these people and himself is absolutely a headache for major middle school basketball teams across the country.

  A loud "Boom" sound, the audience's eyes all gathered on the basket frame that was pulled and restored. The players on the basketball court also looked up at the still jumping basket, and the light figure that had just fallen from the basket.

  The crowd on the stands was silent, but only for half a second. It was the silence before the storm, as if they were accumulating energy to cheer. After that half-second of silence, the entire audience erupted in cheers and shouts that echoed throughout the stadium. Amidst the chaotic and crazy shouting of the fans, a unified chant slowly emerged: "Li Feng, MVP!"

  The thunderous applause was all for the rising new star in high school basketball, "Li Feng". Li Feng slowly ran back to his own half court from the opponent's basket, and facing the cheers of thousands of fans in the stadium made this 17-year-old high school student feel a little dizzy, but it felt great.

  Li Feng also deservedly accepted the applause from the audience, because he was the protagonist of this game. Li Feng seemed to have gone all out on the court today, scoring wildly. Using the word "wild" to describe Li Feng's performance on the court is not an exaggeration at all. Because as soon as Li Feng came on the court, he started his personal scoring show.

  The 45-degree angle of the backpedaling jump shot, the opponent's jumping cover-up team member's raised hand was almost a meter away from Li Feng's ball, making it easy for Li Feng to score with this backpedaling jump shot, just like practicing shooting.

  When the opponent changed to a taller player to defend himself, Li Feng took the opportunity to break through. With his 1.9-meter height and lightning-fast footsteps, Li Feng almost every time broke through and scored, several times ending his performance with a beautiful dunk.

  The coach of Feicui City Experimental Middle School, Bian Guohui, could only anxiously watch from the sidelines because he really couldn't think of a way to suppress this already star-level high school student. Bian Guohui was not unfamiliar with Li Feng, whose outstanding basketball talent had already been rumored to have attracted interest from many professional teams. Naturally, Bian Guohui knew his strength. Before the game, Bian Guohui even specially studied Li Feng's video footage and after watching Li Feng's performance in previous games, Bian Guohui really couldn't think of a way to stop him from scoring. In the end, Bian Guohui had no choice but to adopt a two-man defensive strategy against this star player, but this all-out defensive approach still had little effect because Li Feng possessed strength far superior to that of an average high school player. When faced with double-team defense, Li Feng continued to score single-handedly, as if the two defenders tightly marking him were like air. Li Feng's scoring momentum remained unabated.

  "Whoosh". Another three-pointer from beyond the arc, Li Feng slowly lowered his still-raised right hand after releasing the shot, turned around and ran back to his own team's three-point line, lightly high-fiving his best teammate Chen Zhi before getting serious about defense.

  Li Feng glanced at the large electronic scoreboard on the side of the court, but he wasn't looking at the score displayed in red digital font. Instead, he was checking how much time was left until the end of the first half. For Li Feng, the score had never been a concern in this game, as he had never thought that his opponents would have a chance to win. He hadn't even considered the possibility that they could narrow the point difference. All Li Feng cared about now was how many points he could score in this game. Since learning last night that the number 9 player from Changchun Middle School had set a new record with 52 points in a single game, Li Feng had decided to break that record today. He wanted to prove to everyone that his current abilities were far superior to those of the number 9 player from Changchun Middle School.

  The scoreboard showed 57 seconds left in the half, and Li Feng silently counted his score for this half. Including the three-pointer he just made, Li Feng now had 29 points. He raised his right hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead with the arm sleeve, knowing he needed to work hard to defend this ball and then go for more points. Li Feng planned that after scoring 30 points in the first half, it would be easier to break the single-game record of 52 points in the second half.

  Xiao Haifeng dribbled the ball, facing a team that was not generally strong. Xiao Haifeng did not dare to be careless. Through Su Hao's simple block on the outside line, Xiao Haifeng seized the opportunity to use his speed on the court to kill the basket, like an eel in the crowd, making it impossible for the three tall players at the opponent's basket to intercept him. Xiao Haifeng relied on his speed and agility to break through the opponent's block, and with no defense on one side of the basket, he lightly threw the ball into the hoop with a reverse hand.

  Just as Xiao Haifeng's beautiful breakthrough and reverse dunk was about to become a goal, a hand suddenly appeared on the rim of the basket and ruthlessly slapped the ball down just as it was reaching its highest point.

  Xiao Haifeng looked at the basketball he had thrown being covered by someone else, Xiao Haifeng saw that the person who was covering him was the tenth player who had been scoring continuously. Xiao Haifeng did not expect this player to have such excellent defensive skills, Xiao Haifeng suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness when facing such an almost invincible player...

  The basketball that was covered fell into the hands of the Railway Middle School team members. Li Feng, who had just completed a high-difficulty cover, immediately sprinted forward, and his teammates knew about Li Feng's record-breaking plan today, so they quickly passed the ball to Li Feng.

  Li Feng didn't wait for his teammates to catch up after grabbing the rebound, and instead drove the ball straight towards the opponent's basket. At this time, there were four defenders from Feicui City Experimental Middle School standing under the basket, but Li Feng seemed to ignore these four opponents and charged straight at the basket.

  A beautiful dribbling move got past Zhang Jialin, who was standing at the three-point line. With a fake that deceived Su Hao near the free throw line, Li Feng seemed to effortlessly penetrate into the defensive territory of Feicui City Experimental Middle School. The two experimental middle school inside players, Han Dali and Yu Xingquan, who were standing in the three-second zone, jumped up together at the moment when Li Feng made a shooting motion. Both Han Dali and Yu Xingquan had a height advantage over Li Feng, and after jumping up, they strictly sealed off Li Feng's shooting route.

  Just when everyone thought Li Feng's shot was definitely going to be blocked, another stunning scene unfolded. Li Feng, already airborne, transformed his shooting motion into a small whirlwind arm swing in mid-air, and the ball slipped away from the joint defense of Han Dali and Yu Xingquan. In the gap between Han Dali and Yu Xingquan, Li Feng lightly flicked the ball with his wrist, leaving Han Dali and Yu Xingquan to watch helplessly as the ball gently fell into their heavily guarded basket...

  The audience's applause once again echoed throughout the provincial capital basketball stadium, and Li Feng also opened his arms to make a flying celebratory gesture as he ran back to his own half court.
