Chapter 18 - Progress

Yuyang No. 7 Middle School, basketball court.

The tryout of the freshmen is over, the 7th Middle School Team has a neat lineup and begins to prepare for the city league.

A group of players galloped on the court. Jiang Fangping sat on the sidelines with Jiang Xue beside him. Jiang Xue was the manager of the school's basketball department and the team leader. When there is a game, she would go with the team, and she would usually be on the sideline. Making some data records during team training.

For example, now, Jiang Fangping divides the twelve players into two teams to play in-team rivalries. Jiang Xue is responsible for recording the game data, but Jiang Fangping is needed to analyze the data.

"Huh!"

With a soft sound, Jiang Feng made a shot, assisted by Qin Hao.

Jiang Fangping nodded secretly and smiled and said: "Qin Hao and Jiang Feng have good cooperation. Although the two have only met for a short time, they are very close. There is also Wang Lei, all three of them are very good."

Jiang Xue gave a hum.

On the court.

Qin Hao turned back to defense and faced Zhao Xuebing. Zhao Xuebing could not have the upper hand in the face of Qin Hao. He could only take advantage of his height and directly face Qin Hao to shoot.

boom!

But this time he didn't make it, Wang Lei grabbed the rebound and quickly passed it to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao launched a counterattack. After reaching the frontcourt, he broke through and passed the ball to Wang Chengyu. In addition to Qin Hao, Jiang Feng, and Wang Lei, the other two were Wang Chengyu and Huang Xudong.

During the trials, Huang Xudong's mentality for Qin Hao is to fight, but afterwards he calmed down. His personality is like this, impulsive and easy to lose calmness, even though there is no grievance between the two.

Wang Chengyu broke through and hit the inside, and ended up being blocked. Guo Kai's offensive scoring ability is actually not as good as Yuan Xiaogang, but he is very good on the defensive end, with a balanced offense and defense, with a stable personality and steady style of play, he became the captain of the team.

With a "pop", the basketball was tipped.

Wang Chengyu's mouth twitched and he was depressed, but at this moment, Qin Hao quickly pounced on the ball, grabbed the ball first, and threw the ball to the basket at the same time.

Wang Lei immediately knew, he jumped up and made a tip in the air...

Ten minutes later, Jiang Fangping called a halt, and the confrontation training was over and everyone was free to train. Some people came to the sidelines to rest, and Qin Hao began to practice shooting three-point shots!

boom!

Strikes for the first time.

Wang Lei stood at the basket, grabbed the ball and passed it to Qin Hao. Qin Hao made another shot, still hitting the iron, and after that, he shot twice, always hitting the iron, which made him grimace.

"The action is so standard, why can't you make a shot?" Wang Chengyu smiled and shook his head. Qin Hao's shooting movements are very standard, but his hit rate...

"He just needs time." Jiang Fangping suddenly said, "Did you not find out? Qin Hao's progress has been rapid during this period, and it can be said that he is improving every day."

Wang Chengyu thought for a while and nodded silently.

Others also nodded. Although Qin Hao's shot is still unstable, his dribble penetration, passing, and ability to control the ball have improved a lot compared to when he first entered the school team.

It has only been ten days. In the group confrontation training, Qin Hao is already comparable with Zhao Xuebing. If not for his shortcoming of height, he has even surpassed Zhao Xuebing in organizational ability.

Everyone can see Qin Hao's progress.

It's just that they didn`t know that Qin Hao is just reliving what he used to be. He was a professional player and one of the main players of the national team. Now he is only recovering, not really starting from scratch. Of course he will improve quickly.

"Coach." Guo Kai stopped training and came to Jiang Fangping, saying: "Qin Hao is fast, has a sharp dribble penetration, and strong organizational skills. In fact, I think he is more suitable for starting than Zhao Xuebing..."

There is no shortage of scorers in the team. Yuan Xiaogang, Jiang Feng, Guo Kai, and Wang Chengyu can all score, so there is no shortage of scorers. What is needed is an organizer.

As for organizational ability, Qin Hao is the strongest.

"No." Jiang Fangping raised his hand and interrupted: "I don't plan to let him start, as I just said, he still needs time."

Guo Kai frowned: "But, the city league is coming soon."

Jiang Fangping's expression also became solemn, and said: "Well, only half a month is left. We must make good use of this half a month and hurry up to train." As he said, he looked at the court with his eyes on Qin Hao, Jiang Feng, and Wang Lei. He swept over, "But now, we are not what we used to be."

Ten days have passed since the selection of freshmen, Qin Hao, Jiang Feng, and Wang Lei have also joined the team, and Jiang Feng has been put on the starting lineup as the starting small forward.

As for Qin Hao and Wang Lei, they are on the bench.

With the addition of Qin Hao's trio, the team's strength has improved a lot, so Jiang Fangping is also looking forward to the upcoming city league.

"Huh!"

With a soft sound, Qin Hao's three-pointer hit.

Jiang Fangping smiled, but Qin Hao was shaking his head, not satisfied with himself. Today's touch is not very good, his three-pointer is very bad, and his shooting percentage is only a pitiful 30%. You know it's just training now. After the game, what shooting percentage is left?

The city league is approaching, and he also feels the pressure.

After another training session, Jiang Fangping announced the end of the training.

Today is the weekend so school is off. Qin Hao said hello to his teammates and rode home on his bicycle. He didn't go to the community court to train because there was still something to be done.

"Mom, where's uncle?"

Qin Hao shouted as soon as he entered the door.

Liu Huifang glared at Qin Hao angrily: "Why don't you usually greet your parents as soon as you enter. Me and your uncle are so close, but you only asked for your uncle as soon as you entered the door."

Sitting on the sofa, the medium-sized, dark-skinned uncle of Qin Hao Liu Jiarong smiled and stood up, and said, "My nephew, isn't this just right?" After speaking, he looked at Qin Hao and picked it up. Raised his eyebrows, "Xiaohao, how long did I last see you? Isn`t it only a month? Hey, You`ve grown stronger, and you seem to have grown taller."

Qin Hao said, "I joined the school basketball team and I train every day."

Qin Hao did grow stronger during this period of time. After training for half a month, the effect was remarkable. At the same time, his stature grew a lot, from 1.7 meters to 1.72 meters. Although it was only two centimeters, the difference was still very obvious from the last time Liu Jiarong saw him because of his buffed body.

Before Qin Hao's father got off work, Liu Huifang went into the kitchen to cook. Qin Hao and Liu Jiarong sat down on the sofa.

"Uncle." Qin Hao said, "How is your job? Are houses selling well?"

Liu Jiarong was taken aback for a moment, wondering how Qin Hao cared about his work, and casually said: "It's okay, but we don't sell houses there, mainly renting houses."

"Why don't you sell it?" Qin Hao smiled and began to implement his own guiding plan: "Isn't it very profitable to sell a house now? Our classmate Liu Hua sold a house not long ago, and it is said that he made a hundred thousand yuan."

"One hundred thousand? So much." Liu Jiarong raised his brows. He was working as a real estate agent and was very interested in this. Especially when he heard that he made one hundred thousand, he didn't even think about how Qin Hao's classmates were told him about this, and asked: "Where is his house?"
