One Thousand Seventy-Seven. Interlude (7/10)

Beginning in April, the school-level leagues for grades four to six begin.

This is a provincial competition in Newfoundland, but because all the participants are elementary school students, in order to reduce the burden, the competition is divided into several divisions. Grant Primary School belongs to the St. Johns division, and the school is relatively close.

The first game was on Thursday, when Grant Primary School played against St. Paul's Church Primary School. The stadium used a park arena, and it was still an open-air game. However, the forecast said that the weather on the day of the game would be good and the sun was shining. Those who watched the game should Not a lot.

Most of the people who will go to watch the game are the children’s parents, relatives and friends. Canadians are very concerned about children’s activities. For example, the basketball team of Grant Elementary School. Although everyone seems unwilling to participate, it is actually because of the poor record of the school. , The teenagers are too sensitive, afraid of losing face.

If it is in a school that is excellent in sports, then the student can join the basketball team and win a medal. The sensation and attention will be even greater and more prestigious than being the first in the school.

St. Paul's Church Primary School is one of the more famous primary schools in St. Johns, but the basketball level is also average. In order to show respect for the opponent, Qin Shiou specially asked Hughes to find a video of their game last year and plan to study it.

As a result, Hughes used all kinds of connections, but he couldn't find the previous game video...

So until Wednesday, Qin Shiou hadn't seen the video, and immediately became anxious. He went to Hughes and complained: "What's the use of you as an assistant coach? What about the video I want? Didn't you say you have a lot of contacts on the street?"

Little Hughes was dissatisfied when he saw that he was being questioned. He patted his chest and said, "Just tonight, you will definitely be able to see the video tape! Come with me after school, I must let you see for yourself how powerful Uncle Hughes is. "

After school, Qin Shiou asked the teenagers to go home and rest. Get ready for tomorrow's game while he follows Hughes Jr. to St. John's.

When he arrived at St. John's Wharf, Hughes Jr. made a phone call first, talked about it as if he had a secret signal, then disconnected the phone and took Qin Shiou to a cafe.

Qin Shiou asked: "Aren't we here to get the video? Why are you drinking coffee again?"

Little Hughes smiled mysteriously. Confidently said: "Look, you will be able to get the video soon."

This quickly took a full hour and a half, and only after it got dark did someone rush over. It was a big black young man.

When they arrived at the cafe, the two nodded and went to the corner. Little Hughes took out a roll of banknotes and patted it to the big guy. The big black handed him a black handbag.

"Happy cooperation, brother. In the future, if you have such a business, remember to contact me. I will give you a preferential price." The big black man rubbed the thickness of the banknote and smiled.

Qin Shiou looked at it not far away, and felt that it was like a drug fan joint. He noticed that the cafe owners had their phones out, ready to call the police.

Drug dealing is illegal in St. John's.

Big Hei left, Hughes Jr. came back, smiled and pushed the black handbag to Qin Shiou.

As a result, a well-built woman came over suddenly, slapped the handbag, took out the police badge with the other hand and shook it: "Gentlemen, you are under arrest!"

Qin Shiou almost went crazy. What is he doing? Why was he arrested again?

On the other side, the big black man who left earlier was turned back by two men, and the people in the cafe continued to drink coffee calmly. Someone pointed and pointed: "Damn drug dealers, they will go to hell!"

The big black man was extremely wronged, and shouted: "Why arrest us? We are a legal transaction! A legal transaction!"

After the plainclothes female policeman opened the black handbag, there was a roll of newspapers inside. She opened it with a sneer, and found a CD. As for the expected mascara, powder and the like, there was nothing there.

The female policeman was stunned and said, "Are you selling pornographic discs?"

This is not a felony in Canada. Because, like in the United States, the movies here are graded. At best, it's copyright infringement.

The big black man said: "Fart, open your eyes and see clearly. This is the internal game of the basketball team of St. Paul's Church Elementary School!"

Little Hughes also explained with a bitter face: "We are the coaching staff of the basketball team of Grant Elementary School. This brother is the security guard of St. Paul's Church Elementary School. I paid him two hundred yuan to help me film their team training, because tomorrow We're going to play."

The policemen looked at it on the computer and it was true. The CD was a video of a game. It was very simple that a group of silly kids were playing.

Qin Shiou was very sad after watching this video. Could it be that the level of basketball in Canadian elementary schools is so poor? In addition to being better looking, from a technical point of view, the players from Church Elementary School are not much better than Sam and others.

As for the so-called tactics? Forget it, it will hurt feelings to discuss this kind of topic any longer, let's think about how to solve the misunderstanding of the police.

A policeman asked the plainclothes policewoman in a low voice: "Should we sue them for violating minors' rights or stealing business secrets?"

The policewoman in plainclothes was full of impatience. She took out the disc and put it away, and said angrily, "What a fool? You don't know that non-professional games can take pictures and videos at will?"

Little Hughes became frantic and patted the table to sue the policemen. The plainclothes female policeman was tough and sneered, "You can sue us, and then we will have to inform the church primary school about your friend taking videos and selling them to rivals."

The big black guy suddenly lost his mind, pulled Hughes and said pitifully: "This is my only job!"

This is nothing, the two sides took a step back and shook hands to make peace, the police apologized and helped Qin Shiou and Hughes pay for the coffee they drank, and Hughes Jr. did not sue the police.

Qin Shiou didn't have any temper when he was tossed about. Little Hughes deserved it. I was just lying down.

After the episode, the next day is the game.

The competition is very simple, it is more interesting than buying a game disc.

Before the game, the boys at Chapel Elementary School were very motivated. They were convinced that Grant Elementary School was worse than them.

Then Qin Shiou taught them a lesson, letting them know that basketball depends not only on individual players, but also on tactics. A team like Church Elementary School without tactics is simply a mess.

In contrast, Grant Elementary School has tactics. Their tactics are to rely on Michelle for offense, rely on everyone for defense, and rely on Gordon for rebounding...

As for tactics such as pick-and-roll, Princeton system, triangle offense, run-and-bomb, positional warfare, etc., Qin Shiou understands, but they can play with these in elementary school?

Even though it was not a weekend, Guo Song still took time to participate in the competition. He was the trainer of the school team in name, so the head coach, assistant coach, and trainer were complete. At least in terms of configuration, Grant Primary School was more complete than Church Primary School. (to be continued)
