Prose about me and my basketball team.

Our 370 Hospital has a women's basketball team. Many members of the basketball team were basketball fans before joining the army, and some were members of the local basketball team. Although I never played basketball before I became a soldier, I became a member of this basketball team.

Speaking of joining the basketball team, I didn't want to at first. 1973 is my third year as a soldier. At that time, I just turned 17 years old and was weak. In order to improve my physical fitness and adapt to the life of the army, I insist on exercising, running early every day and learning to play badminton. My badminton level is constantly improving and my health is getting better and better. The coach of the hospital basketball team saw that my body was flexible and my sports quality was good, so he talked to me through the hospital political department and asked me to join the hospital basketball team. Although I like sports, I don't like playing basketball, and I'm afraid I'll get hurt because of fierce confrontation. But because the hospital attached great importance to women's basketball at that time, the leader insisted that I participate. As a soldier, I must obey orders. In a rather helpless situation, I became a member of the women's basketball team in 370 Hospital.

Most of the girls in our basketball team didn't have the foundation to play basketball before. At the beginning of training, we always struggled to get into a ball, and sometimes we fell down and sat on the ground laughing for a long time. Without the concept of three-second violation, you can't play anything, such as cutting, covering, roll-and-pick, coordination, let alone fast break. So the coach gave us novices strict basketball technical training, and not only that, but also asked us to carry out physical training. Many times, training is boring. The coach threw the ball from one side of the basketball court to the other and let us women basketball players chase it. Everyone has to practice many times. There are also footwork practice, shooting practice, two-person combination passing practice, layup with the ball, group confrontation and so on. We are so tired that we just want to sit on the ground. We will also try to be lazy. Whoever is in poor health will stand at the end of the line, and everyone will cover her to rest, at most, it will be 2-3 rounds. If the coach finds out, it won't be fun. For example, the coach will say: After today's training, Jiang Hong will stay, practice chasing the ball for 20 times, and score 100 goals. God, I was really punished. ...

Finally one day, what I was worried about happened. In a group exercise, my teammates accidentally inserted their fingers into my eyes, causing corneal abrasions. At that time, my eyes were so painful that I couldn't turn, just shed tears. My teammates rushed me to the ward for treatment. Although I quickly recovered my vision to 1.0, the injury did harm to my eyes, leaving a future trouble (a scar covered part of the pupil of my left eye, which affected my vision, which was unpredictable at that time) ... After leaving the hospital, I wanted to quit the basketball team, but neither the political department nor the team coach agreed, so I had to obey orders and stay in the basketball team with an eye injury. ……

In this way, day after day, gradually, our team members' skills have improved, the tacit understanding of teamwork has become more and more, and the effect of going out to play has become better and better. Our hospital basketball team became famous gradually, and I also found pleasure in basketball, and began to like playing basketball more. I especially like the concentrated training of the basketball team. Because during the training period, you don't have to go to work, you can eat subsidized meals, and you will often send some fruits. This is simply a happy meal for us little female soldiers who can only eat radish and cabbage.

The training day is very happy, but it is also very hard. I remember a winter training at Xiangfan base station. The conditions are very difficult. It's very cold in winter in northern Hunan, but it's still warm when everyone is crowded together. Everyone sleeps on the floor, which is not the same as sleeping on the floor for recruits' training, but it is just an extra straw. Fortunately, there is still hot water supply, so you can take a bath after training every day. Although it is convenient to train in the hospital, you can't take a hot bath every day. You often use an iron bucket to open the water and solve the problem of bathing by yourself. Sometimes the teacher on duty in the boiler room is easy to talk, which can often open a convenient door for us and let the comrades in our team take a hearty bath. Any comrade who is not feeling well will be rushed to help her wash clothes. My comrade-in-arms, Jianshe, is a soldier elder sister who joined the army one year earlier than me. She likes to sing in the bathhouse. She always comes early and leaves late, taking a shower and washing clothes while singing. Not to mention, listening to songs in the bathhouse has a special flavor. Relaxation after intense training, plus the comfort of hot water bath, plus wonderful singing, is like walking happily by the flowing Xiangfan moat. It is really a unique enjoyment!

Training is usually based on playing practice games. We often play games with men's basketball teams in various departments of the college; Play a game with hospital leaders; Play a game with my brother's women's basketball team; Also played games with other women's basketball teams in Xiangyang. These competitions not only give us more training opportunities, but also let us know how to cooperate tacitly and make our training more interesting.

Compared with female basketball players, male basketball players are faster and more flexible. Playing with them is mainly to improve the antagonism and flexibility of our women's team. Sometimes if they ignore their enemies, they will be overtaken by us. At this time, winning or losing becomes uncertain and the atmosphere on the field becomes active. ...

The most interesting thing is to play games with hospital leaders. As soon as the "ball news" comes out, many comrades-in-arms and patients will move to the bench in advance and wait at the stadium. The "hospital leadership" consists of hospital leaders and some department leaders. Several chairmen and political commissars usually prefer to play basketball. Both political commissar Wu are good at basketball, but they are exhausted. After playing for a while, they will sweat and rest. Several vice presidents and deputy political commissars are thin, but full of energy, but their skills are not good. Director Yang and Vice President Yu, foreign players and ball games are all good, especially Vice President Yu. Although he is not tall, he is very flexible, just like a "loach" and he is a good marksman. On the court, we still look down on him. However, he is short-sighted. He always wears a pair of glasses on stage, which is often knocked off by us and makes a lot of jokes. Later, as long as he played ball with us, Vice President Yu fixed his glasses with rubber bands first, and the effect was not bad. These usually unsmiling hospital leaders have become a group of happy uncles on the field, and the competition has become a military camp for officers and men to have fun together, which has played some roles in harmonious relations between cadres and the masses and between doctors and patients.

Basketball was very popular in the army at that time, because it was a team sport and didn't need much space. You can play with a basketball stand, which can not only exercise, but also reflect the sense of collective honor and activate the atmosphere of the army. In the basketball team, my role has always been just a substitute. Every time I play, the coach usually gives me the task of replacing the tired main players. I have always been very happy with the coach's arrangement, but I almost became the "protagonist" in a basketball game from 65438 to 0973, which left me unforgettable memories.

/kloc-in the summer of 0/973, our college participated in Xiangyang (then called Xiangfan) women's basketball league. The women's basketball team of Xiangfan Cotton Mill in our group is very strong, and the women's basketball team from 65438 to 0972 is the champion of Xiangfan City. The match between us is arranged in the basketball court of our 370 hospital. This is a tough battle. If we lose, we won't be in the top four. This is related to the honor of our 370 basketball team. The coach watched their game in advance and gave me secret training alone. I became the "secret weapon" in the team. ...

At the beginning of the competition, Xiangfan Cotton Mill played the women's basketball very well. Their main No.5 shot frequently worked, but our main players didn't play well and the score gradually fell behind. When I played for nearly 10 minutes, the coach signaled the referee to pause, and then I was sent on. I know in my heart that my task on the court is to keep an eye on the opponent's No.5, so that she can't shoot easily.

At first glance, I am slightly inferior to that No.5, both in height and weight. However, according to what the coach taught me in advance, I began to "display my talents" nervously: as long as the ball reaches her hand, I will stick to her and stick to her with my body, but there can be no foul action. I held my hands high, kept shaking hard in front of her eyes, and my feet moved step by step quickly, following her. No.5 can't get rid of me, and his face is blue. He can't get the ball and the other players can't pass it to her. In this way, I have always maintained "close contact" with her, and I will go wherever she goes; She shot, I jumped to defend, and No.5 and I became a pair of "sisters" on the court, very tired, which made me panting and sweating. The comrades off the field kept laughing, and applause and cheers broke out. ...

This move is really clever. No.5 couldn't get rid of me, and he began to get upset and out of control, gradually losing the rhythm of his movements, passing and missing the ball frequently, and his shooting movements also changed shape, and he repeatedly missed; On the contrary, our players frequently fought for rebounds, steals and fast breaks, which not only stabilized their positions, but also gradually tied the score and overtook them, and then led all the way. The atmosphere of the whole stadium is boiling, and the cheers are endless, and the waves are higher than the waves.

Soon on the 5th, she signaled the coach to change, and she wanted to go down and have a rest. Haha, the "secret weapon" worked. The coach worked hard for several nights before, and gave me a face-to-face lecture before playing, which received good results. The comrades in our hospital are so happy that they all say that I stick to No.5 like "candy". I stared at my opponent's main force No.5 with tenacious perseverance, and won warm applause from my comrades when I was replaced after completing the task!

After I came down to rest, I called again on the 5 th. But this time, she has completely lost her touch, and our team has become more and more brave and won the game in one breath. I improved my defensive ability and skills in this game and was praised by my coach.

This year, our 370 Hospital won the second place in Xiangfan Women's Basketball Competition. As a substitute, I successfully completed the key man-to-man defense task, which left a deep impression on the medical staff and patients in the hospital and won the honor for our 370 hospital basketball team.

The experience of a substitute in the basketball team made me a little female soldier fall in love with basketball, which not only improved my physical fitness, but also made me understand that "collective honor can only be won by everyone's efforts" and exercised my good quality of not bowing my head when I encountered difficulties. After returning to my hometown, I often participate in my favorite badminton, and I also participate in the activities of the company's basketball team. At work, I am also meticulous, conscientious and hard-working, and I have won many honors for the company. When I left the company, I entrusted the work to three colleagues. To this day, I still like watching basketball games. Especially when I saw that the China men's basketball team dared to confront a strong team like Spain and a star like Gasol and Gasol against the Warriors, I couldn't help but think of my wonderful military past. ...
