Chapter 134
Lin Feng discovered that while the students at the sports school did have solid fundamental skills, they lacked his competitive experience. They played within a fixed tactical system, and once outside of that system, they were helpless. Lin Feng, on the other hand, relied on reading the game—reading the opponent's defensive intentions, finding weaknesses, and then exploiting them.
After twenty minutes of play, Lin Feng's team won.
He scored eleven points, grabbed five rebounds, and dished out three assists.
Zhang Weiguo applauded from the sidelines.
Coach Li walked over and looked at Lin Feng.
"How long have you been practicing?"
Lin Feng said, "Three months."
Coach Li was stunned for a moment.
"Three months?"
Lin Feng nodded.
Coach Li turned to look at Zhang Weiguo.
Zhang Weiguo nodded.
Coach Li turned back and looked at Lin Feng, his expression changing.
Have you ever played ball before?
Lin Feng said, "I've seen a lot."
Coach Li remained silent for a few seconds.
Then he said, "You have talent. But your fundamentals are still lacking—your dribbling isn't steady enough, your first step when breaking through isn't quick enough, and your defensive positioning is also problematic. Come to the sports school for a year, and you can make it into the provincial youth team."
Lin Feng looked at him.
"Coach Li, I'll think about it."
Coach Li nodded, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it over.
"Call me when you've thought it through."
Lin Feng took the business card and put it in his pocket.
Coach Li turned and left.
Zhang Weiguo walked over and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder.
"Kid, this is a rare opportunity. So many people want to get into the provincial youth team, but can't."
Lin Feng nodded.
"Thank you, Coach Zhang. I'll think about it some more."
After leaving the sports school, he stood at the entrance, looking at the business card.
Provincial Youth Team.
If I go, it means giving up a lot of things—time to study, time to write programs, time on the cement court at four in the morning, and Cheng Yuxin's milk.
He put the business card in his pocket and walked towards the bus stop.
When Cheng Yuxin got home, she was cooking in the kitchen.
Hearing him return, she peeked out.
"How is it?"
Lin Feng changed his shoes and went into the kitchen.
"The coach of the provincial youth team said that if you train at the sports school for a year, you can get into the provincial youth team."
Cheng Yuxin's eyes lit up.
Are you going?
Lin Feng leaned against the kitchen door frame, watching her.
"have no idea."
Cheng Yuxin turned back and continued cooking. As she stirred the food, oil splattered out.
"Lin Feng," she said, her back to him, "go if you want to. Don't do it because of me..."
She didn't finish speaking.
Lin Feng looked at her.
"Because of what?"
Cheng Yuxin didn't say anything.
Lin Feng waited for a while, but she didn't turn around.
He turned around and went back to his room.
He sat at his desk, looking out the window.
As darkness fell, lights began to appear on the buildings in the distance, one by one, like stars.
He took out the business card and looked at it for a long time.
Then he put it on the table and turned on the computer.
The screen still displays CodeLight's code.
He looked at it for a while, then started writing.
The text describes Cheng Yuxin knocking on his door to call him for dinner.
He came out, sat down, and picked up his chopsticks.
Cheng Yuxin sat opposite him, eating with her head down, without saying a word.
The two finished their meal in silence.
While Lin Feng was washing the dishes, Cheng Yuxin stood at the kitchen door.
"Lin Feng".
He turned around.
Cheng Yuxin said, "If you want to go to the sports school, then go ahead. I'll take good care of myself."
Lin Feng looked at her.
Her eyes were very serious.
Lin Feng remained silent for a few seconds.
Then he said, "I haven't decided yet."
Cheng Yuxin nodded, turned around and left.
Lin Feng turned back and continued washing the dishes.
The tap was running, water splashing onto the bowl and creating tiny droplets.
He stared at the splashes of water for a while, lost in thought.
Then I turned off the water, dried my hands, and went back to my room.
Lying in bed, he stared at the ceiling.
Provincial Youth Team.
Sports school.
Cheng Yuxin.
CodeLight.
Four options swirled in his mind.
He turned over and closed his eyes.
We'll talk about it tomorrow.
