"Today we might have new cheerleaders." As we walked along the road, I smiled mysteriously. A Fei scratched his head in confusion, "Who? Xia Ying, the Three Sisters, and Sha Xiaomei, plus Shuai Dong and Pang Hao, that's already quite a few. I bet they will all be here today since it's the finals. I couldn't sleep at all last night because I was so excited. I can't believe we made it to the City Finals; it feels like a dream. It's finally time for me to fulfill my championship dream..." A Fei suddenly stopped in his tracks and pulled out the Eagle pendant hanging around his neck, gazing at it: "Eagle is soaring in the air of Street Basketball; my wings..."
After we arrived at Lijing Park, it was still early and no one had shown up yet, so we sat on a stone bench. "I think we came a bit too early; there's still over two hours until the game starts," I yawned and said to A Fei. "Yeah, I didn't expect you guys to arrive this early!" Jiang Lingfeng walked over from a distance. I laughed, "Haha, Ling Feng Senior must be too excited to sleep as well." Jiang Lingfeng sat down next to us with a smile: "Yes, this is my first opportunity to compete for the city championship in my life, so it means a lot to me." Seeing the happy smile on Jiang Lingfeng's face made me happy too. As one of the Five Great Point Guards, he carries the heaviest burden. Perhaps in Hejiang or the City High League, he may not have another chance to compete for the city championship. Winning a Street Basketball Championship might somewhat make up for his regrets.
"Jie, if we win the city championship, I won't hide it from my parents anymore," A Fei said while looking into the distance. I almost fainted: "How fresh! If we win, not only will I not hide it from my parents, but I'll also announce it on QQ and Weibo to share my joy with even more friends." "Alright now, the game hasn't even started yet, and you two are already planning what to do after winning. What if we lose to Fantasy Team..." Jiang Lingfeng laughed. "There's no 'what if'! We must take down those three losers—not just for honor but for our dignity!" I interrupted Jiang Lingfeng confidently as we chatted back and forth to pass the time.
After a while, the person in charge of the Street Basketball Championship, Chen Ruiguo, arrived. We quickly went over to greet him. "Uncle Chen, we're one of the teams that made it to the finals—Dream Chasers. Can we go familiarize ourselves with the venue now?" A Fei asked. Chen Ruiguo replied: "Not yet; you can only go in half an hour before the finals." I looked at my watch; it was 7:30 now—still half an hour to go. We sat down helplessly when suddenly a shout rang out: "I'm here!"
We turned our heads in unison toward the voice and saw Situ Yanan arriving.
"Jie, is your new cheerleader member Situ Yanan?" A Fei asked in surprise. I smiled proudly: "Yes! She's been bored at home, so I invited her to cheer for us! Why not use a ready-made cheerleader?" After Situ Yanan came over, she became particularly lively: "Brother Jie! A Fei! Long time no see! Huh? Who's this?" Situ Yanan looked confused when she saw Jiang Lingfeng. I quickly stepped forward to introduce: "This is our Street Basketball team's captain, Jiang Lingfeng; he's our senior—call him Lingfeng Brother." Situ Yanan responded with an "Oh" and turned her head to nod at Jiang Lingfeng: "Lingfeng Brother, hello! I'm Situ Yanan." "Yanan Sister, hello," Jiang Lingfeng replied with a smile. I breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully there were no slip-ups. This girl tends to say things that people don't want to hear.
Just as my heart settled back into my chest, Situ Yanan turned around and muttered again: "I thought Street Basketball only needed two people; didn't expect there would be another one—and he's the captain! If you hadn't introduced him, I'd have thought he was the cheerleading captain..." Uh... Now I'm really regretting inviting her here. After hearing that, Jiang Lingfeng suddenly looked awkward and unsure of what to do. I quickly pulled that big mouth aside: "Can you please watch what you say? Why do you always pick on things others don't want to hear? No wonder your brother worries about you getting bullied at school."
"What's wrong with me? I'm just straightforward; I don't speak insincerely or pretentiously!" Situ Yanan was as stubborn as a mule and wouldn't back down. "Then you might as well go rest; we don't need you here cheering for us," I said exasperatedly. "Haven't you heard 'It's easy to invite gods but hard to send them away'? You were so enthusiastic about letting me join earlier; now you want me gone?! I'm not leaving!" Situ Yanan's temper flared up too. "Are you leaving or not? You..." We started arguing beside each other and completely forgot that A Fei and Jiang Lingfeng were still sitting nearby.
"A Fei! Ling Feng Senior! Good morning!" Xia Ying and Sha Xiaomei's voices came from behind us. Situ Yanan and I turned around to see them staring at us with wide eyes. "Yanan! It's really you! What are you doing here?" Sha Xiaomei exclaimed excitedly as she walked over and grabbed her hand to catch up on old times. I looked up and noticed Xia Ying's expression seemed a bit off...
"Why didn't Mei Jiao and Zhang Yirong come?" I intentionally changed the subject to break the awkwardness. "If they don't want to come, then they won't; how would I know why?" Xia Ying glared at me with a stiff tone. "Alright then; it's almost eight o'clock now; they should let us in soon. Let's go inside first; when Shuai Dong and the others arrive later, they can come in by themselves." As I took Xia Ying's hand and started walking away, she pinched my hand hard. Despite the sharp pain, I kept my face straight and continued forward: "Looks like there are quite a few cheerleaders called here; is it so someone can comfort us if we lose?! Haha." As we walked ahead, a sneer came from behind us. We turned around simultaneously and instinctively clenched our fists upon seeing those familiar faces.
