"Footstepping"-it refers to when an athlete takes off and shoots, another athlete stretches his foot to block him when he landed on the ground, causing him to lose his center of gravity when landing, causing a series of consequences such as broken feet and sprains.

From a muscle strain, you need to rest for a few days, but from... a meniscus tear, ankle fracture.

The word stepping is definitely a nightmare for countless basketball players. And now, this nightmare has happened on this court.

There was chaos in the arena, and no one thought that Ding Man would really dare to do this in full view of everyone! !

Meng Yufan is too innocent. The field he has raced on is pure white. This is the first time he knows that the field can be so filthy.

He roared and threw forward, his fists were tightly pinched, he really wanted to beat that arrogant face so hard!

He wants to smash Ding Man's face, every bone in his body is to be broken, and his body is covered with blood!

But before Meng Yufan shook his fist, his arm was caught tightly.

It's Yang Xiao.

It was Yang Xiao who stopped him.

Yang Xiao didn't know when she rushed into the arena. She still had a work card hanging on her chest. The gilded show logo on the card was so shiny and ironic.

"Meng Yufan! Calm down!!" Yang Xiao hugged his arm with all his strength, "violence can't solve any problems!"

With so many cameras and so many eyes, Yang Xiao definitely can't let Meng Yufan hit someone at this time! ! If a young player beats a CBA senior, if this kind of scandal goes out, it will definitely have a great negative impact on Meng Yufan!

Meng Yufan couldn't calm down at all. He roared: "How can I calm down? My teammate is injured and may never play basketball again in my life. How can I calm down?!"

The tip of Yang Xiao's heart trembled for a second, and a burst of unspeakable sadness enveloped her.

"You..." She has a jerky throat, desperately thinking of a solution, "We can watch the replay, and the referee will call him a foul..."

"What then?" Meng Yufan laughed in anger, and asked, "The referee convicted him of violation of the body and gave us two free throw opportunities. The goal was scored, and our score was overtaken. We won—Yang Xiao, what do you think of this? Does it work? Can my teammate stand up again?"

Yang Xiao was speechless by the sound of questioning from him.

Yeah... Then what?

Even if the game is won, what will happen? This is only the first episode of this variety show. There will be many more episodes in the future. Is it true that every episode, every episode, every episode, will Ding Man continue to be so rampant?

Just because he is a champion of the sponsor? Then their show should not be called "King of Rebounds", just called "King of Stepping"!

In the face of Meng Yufan's monstrous anger, Ding Man Shi Shiran, who was the instigator, stepped back and turned to urge the referee: "Hey, the game is over. What are you doing standing stupid, and still not declaring our team won?"

The referee was frightened by his arrogance and was completely speechless.

Feng Xiang rushed over and scolded, "Ding Man, don't go too far!"

Ding Man and Feng Xiang have never dealt with each other. The more angry Feng Xiang is, the happier Ding Man is. Ding Man snorted: "Yo He Captain Feng, do you play the messenger of justice here? Didn't you say that in the movie, villains like me are going to be defeated? What a pity, it seems you made a mistake, this In a movie starring me, I am the protagonist."

This tens of square meters of stadium seems to be divided into countless parallel spaces by invisible walls. On the one hand, Meng Yufan’s unexplainable anger; on the other hand, Ding Man and Feng Xiang’s tit-for-tat confrontation; on the other hand, the medical staff bandaged first aid, and the guard groaned in a low voice; on the other hand, the confusion and panic on the faces of other players...

Suddenly, a female voice broke the invisible walls, like a sharp arrow pierced everything.

"——Be quiet!"

From afar, only a sound of footsteps was heard. Under the deterrence of the incoming people, everyone subconsciously separated to the sides.

Looking along the gap in the crowd, Zhou Hui's face was pale, as if a mountain rain was coming.

Behind her, there were other staff members of the show crew who rushed in. They were all panicked and didn't know how to face this unexpected situation.

"What are you doing stupidly?!" Zhou Hui said sharply, "Emergency personnel quickly carried a stretcher and took the injured players to the hospital. All expenses were paid by the program team; the art tube took all the players to the backstage to rest; the referee, To watch the replay video, you will issue a written report on this matter as soon as possible; the camera crew will stop the video; the director group will seal up all the video materials, and the editing will be postponed."

The tasks were arranged one by one, and the noisy crowd gradually calmed down under the weight of her aura.

Zhou Hui turned his gaze to Yang Xiao again: "As for you..."

Yang Xiao immediately said, "I will go to the hospital with the car."

The program crew had such a big accident, it really needed a staff member who could talk to the hospital to deal with the problem. Yang Xiao is the program director, and it is more appropriate for her to go to the hospital on behalf of the program team.

So Zhou Hui nodded and agreed.

"I'll go too!" Meng Yufan suddenly interjected, "My team member is injured, and I have to go to the hospital."

Seeing his firm attitude, Zhou Hui agreed.

"Ding Man." Zhou Hui finished handling other chores and immediately turned his spear to Ding Man, "How do you explain what just happened?"

Ding Man looked indifferent: "Explanation? What can be explained? Let the referee watch the replay, I have a clear conscience."

For an "veteran" like him, he can completely make the stepping behavior seamless. He can pretend to be running too fast without stopping the brakes, or looking up at the basket without paying attention to his feet... His acting skills are perfect. Even if the video is played back, he can completely shirk the "not intentional".

His face caused Meng Yufan's anger to ignite again. If Yang Xiao didn't hold him tightly, the impulsive youth would definitely pounce on him and teach him an unforgettable lesson.

At this moment, an arrogant male voice suddenly appeared.

"Ding Man is right, there is really nothing to explain." said the arrogant male voice, "playing basketball, bumping is normal. If a group of big men play basketball, what kind of friendship is the first game and second? Fake stuff, why don't I go to see the women's basketball team?"

Yang Xiao: "..."

Don't think about it, the person who can say such sexist **** is naturally the only Diao cancer patient Xing Fei in the sky and the earth.

It turned out that after Xing Fei saw the chaos in the basketball court, he also brought his subordinates to find it.

He put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly into the crowd. The remarks he just said reversed right and wrong, and his attitude was so light, which was really unpleasant.

The medical staff on the side was struggling to put the guard on the bed. When the guard was lying down, Xing Fei walked past him without squinting. He did not notice. After seeing his face, the guard shook his pupils. The original groaning became a short shout.

The medical staff hurriedly comforted him: "Is it too painful? You lie down, lie down quickly, we will send you to the hospital soon!"

The crowd gave way again. Everyone watched the medical trolley leave quickly. Meng Yufan immediately chased it up. Yang Xiao didn't care about anything else, and ran away.

As for the mess caused by Ding Man on the court, it depends on the result of the game between Zhou Hui and Xing Fei.

Yang Xiao sincerely hopes that the final result is not a victory for capital.

...

The hospital was not far from the studio. The hospital opened a green channel for them. The guard got out of the ambulance and was immediately pushed into the CT room.

In just half an hour, the guard’s ankles and knees have all been swollen, especially the knees, the skin is swollen and shiny, he can neither straighten nor bend, he can only keep his legs slightly curled. The posture, tossing about on the hospital bed.

Soon, the results of the film came out-cruciate ligament rupture, meniscus injury, ankle avulsion fracture and tendon injury.

Any injury is fatal to a basketball player. And the doctor bluntly said that because the guard is not young, his body's self-healing ability is limited, and it is impossible to fully recover after the operation.

…He is going to bid farewell to the stadium.

After hearing the doctor's explanation, Meng Yu hit the wall of the hospital corridor with a heavy punch.

The wife of the guard eldest brother arrived in a hurry. She was also tall and tall, half a head taller than Yang Xiao. She was once a female basketball player of the provincial team. When she heard how serious her husband's injury was, she couldn't help but flushed her eyes.

She sat on the side of his bed and couldn't stop complaining: "You, why are you so stupid? I said a long time ago, there is enough money at home! You have one salary, I have one salary, and I am now playing with my kids. , I make a lot of money outside of class. Why are you so desperate? You used to play wild ball, but now you come to participate in this basketball show, you...you..."

Before she finished speaking, the woman's tears had already rolled down, drop by drop on the calluses of the guard's eldest brother.

The guard's brother was so painful that his facial features were all wrinkled together, and he wanted to comfort his broken wife. He smiled bitterly: "I didn't think that my daughter is going to elementary school. I'm afraid she won't be able to keep up with the school's progress, so I want to give her a few more reports. A class, learning English, piano and so on; and she has always wanted Aisha's princess dress, I want to make her happy on her birthday..."

In order to make money, the thirty-five-year-old retired veteran returned to the battlefield-and then fell here.

Basketball is his life, life, and career. He has just regained the fun of basketball, but he can no longer pick up the basketball that weighs more than a thousand dollars.

Meng Yufan stood bewildered by the bed. He tried to speak several times, but in the end he could only leave the ward dullly and close the door gently.

On the corridor, Yang Xiaogang and Taili talked on the phone. She passed the injury examination report to her colleagues in the Legal Department, so that they could go through the compensation process as soon as possible, and at the same time contact the transfer hospital to go to the best sports medicine department in the city. Although the compensation cannot make up for their losses, at least... it is a relief.

Seeing Meng Yufan coming out, Yang Xiao hung up the phone and looked at him: "What's going on inside?"

Meng Yufan didn't say a word, suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged Yang Xiao tightly.

He came out in a hurry, didn't even wear a jacket, only a thin basketball vest. Even if there is heating in the hospital, goose bumps still develop on the exposed arms.

Yang Xiao was taken aback, but she soon discovered that the young man who was holding her tightly was shaking all over.

Yang Xiao hugged him and asked, "Yu Fan...Are you crying?"

"No." Meng Yufan said in a dull voice, "I just... it's just too cold."

He pressed his forehead tightly against Yang Xiao's shoulder, and some hot liquid ran down the corner of his eye and burned her neck.

He doesn't understand, basketball...how can it be so dirty?

Yang Xiao hugged him back and passed the warmth from his body to this young man who was crying because of the cold.

"I hate him." Meng Yufan murmured, "I hate Ding Man."

"..."

"I will let him learn a lesson one day."

...

The next day, the guard was transferred to the best hospital in the city. The department of sports medicine here is very famous, and many famous sportsmen have undergone operations here.

The guard eldest brother said happily: "If it weren't for the reimbursement by the program team, I would have no money and no way to hire the doctor in charge of the world champion."

Before the operation, Yang Xiao visited the patient again.

On behalf of the program group, she sent an apology and brought a fruit basket and flowers. The guard's wife looked unhappy, and her eyebrows were cold throughout, and she repeatedly asked her: "You also work for the TV station. I don't need you to apologize. I just want to ask, what will your program team plan to do with Ding Man?"

"..." Yang Xiao couldn't answer, this question is what she really wants to know now.

Three days have passed since the incident, and "King of Rebounds" has never confirmed the results of Ding Man's handling! Yang Xiao asked Zhou Hui several times, but only got the reply "still considering".

The guard eldest brother was kind-hearted, sighed and took the initiative to change the subject.

The guard brother asked: "I would like to ask, when I was pushed on a stretcher to leave that day, I saw a man in a suit, who is he?"

"A man in a suit?" Yang Xiao recalled. When recording the show, they were all dressed in sportswear that was convenient for movement, and there was only one person in a suit and leather shoes. "Is he in his early thirties with hair spray? Looks arrogant?"

"Yes, it's him. He's not tall, just over 1.8 meters." The guard elder brother sat up and asked eagerly, "Who is he?"

Yang Xiao didn't know why he asked Xing Fei: "That's the sponsor of the program group, the boss of Feiyang Drink, Xing Fei."

The guard elder brother exclaimed: "He is a sponsor?! Then, Na Ding Man...Is he recommended it?"

Yang Xiao nodded, thought for a while, there was nothing to hide, and said bluntly: "Yes. In fact, it is not only Ding Man, but there are also several retired athletes in the show, who were also recommended by Xing Fei."

"..." The guard's face struggled, as if there was something to say, but he was frustrated in his heart not knowing how to speak.

Faintly, Yang Xiao felt as if she was standing on the road leading to the truth. As long as she opened the door, a truth she had never thought of would appear in front of her.

She didn't say anything, and didn't dare to disturb him, for fear that she would interrupt the guard's thinking.

The guard's eldest brother's sight fell on his lap that was fixed and suspended. He thought of his hard training in the team, the hardship of life after retiring, and thought that he could no longer stand on the court or practice football-finally, He spoke.

"Miss Yang, Director Yang... Can I trust you?"

Yang Xiaolin, standing up straight subconsciously, nodded: "Of course you can trust me!" She said, "I can still speak in the group. If you have any questions, I will do my best. I can help you."

"... That's good." The guard blinked slowly, and uttered a few words with difficulty, "I have seen Xing Fei before."

"what?"

"This matter is a little embarrassing to talk about, but my leg is considered useless, and I will definitely not be on the court in the future, so I am not afraid of anything. After I retired, I was particularly short of money for a period of time. A wild ball with a gambling nature. And in the wild court, I played against Ding Man."

"!!!" Yang Xiao's expression changed suddenly, and he never thought that Ding Man, as an active athlete, would actually participate in such a thing! But... "What does this matter have to do with Xing Fei?"

"Of course it matters." The guard closed his eyes in pain, and his body shuddered uncontrollably. "After the game, I saw the banker of the game-that person is Xing Fei."

In an instant, Yang Xiao understood everything.

All the clues are finally connected together-that's why, when she was with Xing Fei, Xing Fei never told Yang Xiao what business she was in; that's why Xing Fei would buy an unfamiliar shell drink The company even has to spend money to invest in variety shows; that’s why Xing Fei wants to put his players in and try to promote them to the top...

Xing Fei has turned the entire column into a ridiculous gambling game-he wants the dealer to take it all.

...

The words are divided into two ends.

Meng Yufan drove Yang Xiao's SUV and took three children from A, B, and C to the hospital to visit the injured guard eldest brother.

Even though the space in the car is not small, it still seems very cramped to squeeze the four tall boys.

The three children were frightened and twittered all the way.

"Team Meng, after the recording, I haven't fallen asleep for several nights!"

"Team Meng, will the show team let Ding Man get rid of it?"

"Team Meng, can the guard's legs be cured?"

Meng Yufan was so quarrelled by them, and had to comfort these noisy huskies.

He reminded them: "When we arrive at the hospital in a while, don't mention these horrible things, the guard brother is already very sad."

A asked: "Then what are we talking about?"

Meng Yufan: "Whatever you say, you can tell him a joke, but don't mention his illness, don't mention Ding Man, let alone the program group."

B is a child with a complete disposition, and said angrily: "Ding Man is famous, so he holds Ding Man and protects Ding Man. There is no good person in the entire program group!"

"..." Meng Yufan corrected silently, "There are still good people in the program group, such as the director Yang Xiao. I think the people are pretty good. The guard is injured. She has been helping before and after the run."

"Yang Xiao?" Who thought, Classmate C said loudly, "I think she is the worst one!"

Meng Yufan: "???"

The three Huskies glanced at each other, and Classmate A said first: "Team Meng, your news is too unclear, right? This incident has been spread by the program team, and everyone knows it!"

Feeling wrong, Meng Yufan parked the car on the side of the road, looked back at them, and asked calmly, "Did I miss any important plot?"

B: "Do you know that Ding Man is a **** sponsor?"

Meng Yufan: "I know." Yang Xiao had told him about this.

C shouted: "Yang Xiao and that sponsor had a relationship before!! Who knows if they are still disconnected now?!!!"

Meng Yufan: "......??????!!!"
