Because the night before the excitement over the head, the next day Lin Mingyang with a black eye to participate in the training, everyone thought Jefferson will certainly seize this point, to him a reprimand. But the result is a big surprise, known as the "devil" called Jefferson, actually smiled and asked Lin Mingyang black circles under the eyes of the origin, the end also did not forget to pat his shoulders.
"I know we're all very excited to break into the finals, and even a little nervous, after all, our opponent is the previous league champion, but I'm afraid the other side is not willing to meet such an enemy as us, so the pressure in everyone's heart is actually the same.Felix, as the captain, I know that this period of time you have a lot of pressure on you, but you don't need to be so tense, you need to temper yourself with a relaxed mindset to debug yourself!"
Things weren't at all what Jefferson thought they were, and the ridiculous thing was that he actually thought he was comforting Lin Ming Yang. Speaking of nervousness, the most nervous person in the entire Firefox team was probably the coach in front of Lin Mingyang who had boasted to Mr. Principal. This was something that everyone knew by heart, and naturally Lin Ming Yang didn't point it out, but instead made a show of being focused on being taught, and this attitude made Jefferson very satisfied.
He was in a good mood in today's training unprecedentedly praised the performance of several other players, so that a few guys are a little embarrassed, the closer the final, the team up and down the relationship instead of getting more and more cordial.
The first night of the final, Jefferson asked each player nine thirty must be on time on the chuang sleep. Despite lying in bed early, but toss and turn Lin Mingyang found his sleep is not very strong, he estimated that the Firefox team of other players situation is not better, because we do not have the habit of going to bed so early. Thomas actually sent a short message to Lin Mingyang, asking him if he had slept yet. Lin Mingyang replied back in a bad mood, "I'm already asleep, but you woke me up again!" After that, the guy didn't move.
After flipping through the phonebook in his cell phone, Lin Ming Yang couldn't find a suitable person to chat with, he was about to turn off the light and go to sleep, when the cell phone that was tucked under his pillow suddenly buzzed, someone called him at this time.
Touching out his cell phone to take a look, the call was from Kenny Ortega, Lin Ming Yang had only just pressed the connect button when the other party's cheerful laughter came from the other end of the line. "Felix, I have good news for you!"
"I am also having good news ready to tell you!" Lin Ming Yang smiled slightly, Kenny Ortega calling him at this time, it should be that that matter had come to a head.
"Yes?" Kenny Ortega was a little surprised, "You first or me?"
"The call came from you, so of course you should speak first!"
"Well then, Felix, I assure you that this is definitely good news that will make you sleepless when you hear it, the script of Song and Dance has been seen by the executives of the Disney Corporation, and they are willing to buy your idea and invest in making this movie right away." Kenny Ortega said cheerfully.
"Disney?" What surprised Lin Ming Yang was not Disney's attitude, but this result provided by Kenny Ortega, because in his previous life, "Song and Dance Youth", was produced by Disney, could it be that there is really a force in the underworld that is pulling himself and constantly repairing the historical trajectory that he is trying to change.
"That's right, it's Disney!" Kenny Ortega had obviously misunderstood the true meaning of Lin Ming Yang's exclamation, as one of the eight giants of Hollywood, Disney itself was a large company that dominated the youth movie and television productions. "This result is also out of my expectation, but I think it's the best result, there's no better investor in Hollywood than Disney, because that's what they specialize in!"
"And what about you?" With such a result that satisfied both parties, Lin Ming Yang didn't think that Kenny Ortega hadn't gained anything at all in this.
"As a recommender, Disney agreed that I would be the director of this movie!" Kenny Ortega didn't hide the smugness in his heart, "I'll be back soon, let's meet and talk about the specifics! Then it's better to talk about the good news from your side, you see I'm a bit impatient now!"
"The Firefoxes made it to the finals, tomorrow is our first match!" Lin Ming Yang told him the match schedule.
"Oh, that's great news!" Kenny Ortega wasn't keen on high school level basketball leagues, but he still heartily congratulated Lin Ming Yang, "Unfortunately I guess I'll only be able to make it to the last game, provided the opponents aren't taken care of by you guys so quickly! I hope that when I come back, you'll already be holding the championship trophy, which might make up for the fact that I won't be able to be there to watch the game in person!"
Kenny Ortega was indeed quite sorry, as he missed the first four exciting games, with the Firefoxes performing strongly in each game, and their opponents, the Darist Lightning, playing equally well, the two teams were arguably neck and neck, and had to eke out a win only on the basis of their respective home ice advantages. The Firefoxes won both of their home games and the Lightning equalized on their home ice.
The 2:2 draw dragged both teams into the fifth game, which was a crucial battle to decide the winner. In the previous four vicious battles, the players of the Firefoxes were deeply aware of the strength of their opponents, and the only thing that could make them feel relieved was the fact that the fifth game was played at the Moss Middle School, where they faced the Lightning for the third time on their own home ice.
Lin Mingyang hadn't seen that expected figure since the beginning of the previous game, which disappointed him. But the team was able to make it all the way to the finals, Lin Mingyang was no longer just playing for Megan, the charm of the basketball game and the desire of the people around him to win had infected him, and he was now playing for himself and for honor.
"Boys, I've said all that needs to be said, it's up to you to perform on the court." After setting up all the tactics, Jefferson made a final pep talk in the locker room, "Regardless of the final outcome of the game, everyone's efforts are there for all to see, we have already achieved the best result in the history of Moss High School, and if we go one step further, all of you will be able to see your names in the school's honor room, along with the first Championship trophy. "
"After tonight's game, the school will be hosting a big celebration party, don't ask me stupid questions like what the school is planning to celebrate, if we win, naturally we'll be the life of the party. Of course if we lose, the party won't turn us away, but in that case, I'm afraid that even the sweetest drink will only have a bitter taste in your mouths. Whether to let Team Lightning bring this bitterness home, or to keep it to ourselves, the power to choose is in your hands, tonight!"
At the door of the locker room he shook hands with every player and hugged them, at the end of the walk was Lin Mingyang, he knew that the coach must have something to say to him.
"You did a good job in the previous game, I think you know who you're up against, in defense you have only one task, and that's to keep an eye on the other team's number 6 and drag him down!"
The same instructions happened in the opposite locker room as the Lightning's head coach tapped #6 on the shoulder, "Keep an eye on the Firefox's #8, that's the only thing you need to do on the court next!"
The Moss Middle School gymnasium, which was capable of holding 2,000 people at a time, was packed tonight, and in addition to the students of the school and some of their parents, a number of residents from the communities surrounding the school had made the trip to see the game. Lin Mingyang was the last Firefox player to come out, and the player who walked in front of him had already won a warm round of applause from the entire crowd, and his appearance once again caused the applause to resonate throughout the gymnasium.
The advantage of the home field is self-evident, because here you will only hear one kind of sound, compared to the powerful Moss Middle School family and friends group, the number of pathetic Lightning cheerleaders on the bleachers above the visiting team's lounge area made Lin Mingyang suddenly sympathize with the other side.
After taking the field he didn't rush to join the warm-ups, but habitually searched the stands for the shadow of that person. The first thing he saw was his own parents, Catherine and Lin Qinghai with T-shirts bearing the Firefoxes' logo over their bodies, sitting with the parents of the other players in one of the seats the school had specially prepared for them. Seeing Lin Mingyang looking this way, his parents both stood up, Catherine covering her mouth in excitement while Lin Qinghai waved his hand towards towards him.
The other acquaintances on the stands were also quite a lot, on one corner he saw his classmates, Reed who was sitting among them was so excited that he stood up and shouted at him, but the sound in the gymnasium was cluttered, Lin Ming Yang pointed to his ears and then shook his head, signaling to the other person that he couldn't hear the content of the shouts clearly.
An eye-catching banner was held aloft by the other students, which clearly read, "Felix, you're the best!"
Lin Mingyang was touched in a small way, and he clenched his fists and swung them above his head a few times to declare his determination to win the match. And not far from that corner, Lin Mingyang saw Reed's father, who gave a thumbs up towards Lin Mingyang, who nodded knowingly.
What surprised him the most was that Kenny Ortega actually came to the scene as well, and he was sitting right above the Fire Foxes rest area, an old man sitting in the middle of a group of fans dressed in red t-shirts, it was hard not to let people notice! Finding Lin Ming Yang's eyes looking this way, he actually blew a loud whistle at Lin Ming Yang without regard to his status, afraid that Lin Ming Yang would miss him.
Lin Ming Yang helplessly smiled at him as his gaze continued to search through the crowd, but in the end, he still couldn't find that expected figure. She finally didn't come, even though he had guessed this answer in his heart, a faint loss still surged in Lin Ming Yang's heart.
