Episode 15 recap: The basketball match between Class 5 and Class 8.
Physical education teacher Mr. Zhao had invited both Lan Jing Hui and Bi Peng to the court, but in reality it was Coach Wu Xuan from the Hengyuan team who wanted to see them. The Hengyuan team is where many people dream of joining, but Coach Wu Xuan only has one spot available. The person who wins the final match between Lan Jing Hui and Bi Peng will get to join the Hengyuan team training.
Lan Jing Hui was quite distracted by this, and didn't even hear the teacher's lecture during class. When Lan Jing Hui got home, before he could even say a word, his father scolded him for coming home too late. His father said that if Lan Jing Hui gets into the Hengyuan team, it would be no problem for him to join the national team in the future. So Lan Jing Hui couldn't stop thinking about this even as he lay in bed.
When Lan Jing Hui arrived at the court for training, Ling Dong was already there practicing his shots. On the day of the match between Class 5 and Class 8, the cheerleaders were enthusiastically cheering for their own teams. Lan Jing Hui's father even brought a group of people to cheer for Lan Jing Hui, but they were all chased away by the director Zhang. Lan Jing Hui's father stubbornly stayed behind, and director Zhang didn't bother him further.
Lan Jing Hui was extremely nervous, and even had trouble with the ball toss. His mind was filled with the words Coach Wu Xuan had said to him yesterday. At this moment, Wu Xuan walked in through the gate, and Lan Jing Hui played even worse, completely flustered. Lan Jing Hui's father angrily threw a ball at Lan Jing Hui, cursing him that if he can't play, he should just go back. This reverse psychology tactic worked, as Lan Jing Hui immediately wanted to prove to his father that he can play, and firmly asked director Zhang to have his father leave.
But only Lan Jing Hui's father knew that this strategy was exactly what Lan Jing Hui needed.
The players all came to comfort Lan Jing Hui, telling him not to worry. Lan Jing Hui suddenly realized that he should not be the one receiving comfort - his team had already studied the tactics to deal with the opponents, and they had won many rounds. Lan Jing Hui's father believed there would be no problem winning the next round. After the halftime break, Lan Jing Hui's team demonstrated their strong capabilities, with the players trusting and cooperating with each other seamlessly. Coach Chai, who had previously mocked Fang Hai, now looked embarrassed.
In the first half, Class 5 led Class 8. Fang Hai even brought water for his classmates and encouraged them to play well. Lan Jing Hui promised to win the championship. Coach Chai also comforted Bi Peng, reminding him not to get carried away by Class 5's pace. Xiao Xiao Hua wore a headset and danced with her teammates to cheer everyone on. When she took off the headset, Lan Jing Hui was excited and loudly called out to his disciple.
The second half began, and Bi Peng started aggressively fighting for the ball. Ma Yi Ming and Lan Jing Hui were both pushed around, as Bi Peng's team had a height advantage, making it difficult for Lan Jing Hui and his teammates to get the ball. While Lan Jing Hui's team had won with tactics in the first half, they lacked the stamina to match Bi Peng's team in the second half.
The ball flew towards Xiao Xiao Hua, and Ling Dong used his body to block it, falling to the ground. Fang Hai suggested letting Lan Jing Hui rest, and making a substitution during the break. Coach Zhao reminded Fang Hai that Class 5 was now being controlled, and if they continued like this, they might not be able to turn it around. At that moment, Lan Jing Hui dove to the ground to grab a ball, just as his father kicked the ball to him and held up a cheer sign he had made for Lan Jing Hui. Regaining his confidence, Lan Jing Hui led his teammates in a determined push to catch up on the score.
With time running out, Lan Jing Hui's teammates were being knocked down repeatedly. After resting, Ling Dong returned to the court and made a crucial shot, igniting the crowd. Undeterred, Bi Peng tried to steal the ball and take another shot, drawing everyone's attention.
