Chapter Seventy-Two: The First Battle at Home
It's a familiar Sunday again, and the basketball team of Qingshui No. 1 Middle School once again came to the Lingnan City Gymnasium, which they were already very familiar with.
Very fortunately, in the first game of the third round of knockouts, Shimizu No. 1 Middle School drew the right to play the home field.
But when the players entered the stadium to warm up, shouts immediately rang out from the audience.
Wang Jinsong looked around and said sourly: "Damn, there are Lin Nan's fan cards everywhere, the second most is Zhao Zhongzhong's, and there are also ninety-five, why is there no mine?"
Listening to his words, everyone was silent, Lin Nan was used to having fans, Zhao Zhongzhong had few words, and Jiuwu was more shy.
As for the others, they have little say.
Zhu Bo and Screw glanced at each other, and both of them had deep envy on their faces.
There is no way, who made Lin Nan and Zhao Zhongzhong's performance on the field so eye-catching, and Jiuwu is tall.
They should have fans, but Zhu Bo believes that as long as he can perform well, he will have fans in the future.
The orangutan coach was sitting on the sidelines, and as early as when he was in the car, he had already told the players about the opponent today.
Qinhai Middle School is a high school from a prefecture-level city in the province next door to Jiangnan Province.
The Orangutan Coach took a closer look at the videos of their first few games and the core players of the team.
It was found that the strength of Qinhai Middle School was much weaker than that of Lingnan High School, and there were no particularly noteworthy players in the team.
So the orangutan coach asked everyone to play freely today, but don't despise the opponent, even if you know that their strength is weaker than your own.
Then, the game began.
The starters of Qingshui No. 1 Middle School are Lin Nan, Zhao Zhongzhong, Jiuwu, Zhu Bo, and Screw.
The opposing coach saw that Qing Shui No. 1 Middle School was on the strongest lineup in the first quarter, and the only bit of luck left in his heart disappeared.
The comprehensive combat power of Shimizu No. 1 High School has a trend of uncrowned king in the entire South China region, and almost everyone thinks that it has locked a place in the top four.
When he saw that the opponent was Shimizu No. 1 Middle School, the coach of Qinhai Middle School was also helpless.
There is no way, Qingshui No. 1 Middle School now has two cores, in addition to Lin Nan, who is well known by various high schools, Zhao Zhongzhong's divine hook is also widely known.
The players of Qinhai Middle School, although they were all standing on the court with a fighting spirit, could see that there was still a trace of obvious lack of confidence in the depths of their eyes.
On the other hand, in Qingshui No. 1 Middle School, there was no sense of timidity on the faces of each team member.
Besides, it's their home turf!
Sure enough, as soon as the game began, the rhythm was already completely in control, and Qing Shui was in the middle of the hand.
Lin Nan and Zhao Zhongzhong opened their two cores together, and each other couldn't resist their attack.
Whether it is Lin Nan's change-of-direction jumper, or breakthrough, or Zhao Zhongzhong's incomprehensible hook, Qinhai Middle School can only face it, but it still can't stop them from scoring.
As Lu Ming, the home commentator of Lingnan City today, he unreservedly praised their home team Qingshui No. 1 Middle School: "At the beginning of the game, Qingshui No. 1 Middle School has firmly suppressed the opponent at both offensive and defensive ends! Now, Qingshui No. 1 Middle School has been promoted to the ranks of strong teams!"
In the stands, the popular street ball king of Lingnan Park, Rukawamu, also came to the scene with friends today to watch the game of Shimizu No. 1 Middle School.
While looking at the situation on the field, he said to his friends around him: "I have to say, Qingshui No. 1 Middle School is really strong now! On the offensive end, there are Lin Nan and Zhao Zhongzhong, two extremely stable scoring points, and the defensive end is not weak, it can be seen that the basic skills of these two high school students are very solid, I have carefully watched each of their games, and have come to a very terrible conclusion." ”
"Oh, what is it?" asked Rukawaki's friend.
"It's that there is hardly a game between the two of them that has a bad hand, and the worst hit rate is also impressive.
What does this mean? It shows that their daily training has not been interrupted, so they can always have such a hot feeling. ”
Rukawaki exclaimed.
His friend nodded: "You're right, these two people are indeed not as strong as high school students, and the three people of Qingshui No. 1 Middle School, Jiuwu, Screw, and Zhu Bo have also made significant progress." ”
"I think that Jiuwu seems to have grown taller again in the past few months, and if he is a little stronger, he will be a bully under the basket. ”
Indeed, the basketball players of Shimizu No. 1 Middle School also found that Jiuwu had grown taller again, and everyone measured it, and it was already 196 and almost 197.
However, his teammates are still used to calling him Ninety-Five, "Ninety-Five Supreme", how domineering it sounds!
"Yes!" Rukawaki's eyes were full of admiration for Shimizu Ichijuni, after all, this was his hometown team.
But at the same time, looking at these young players on the field, he has an indescribable envy and regret in his heart.
Rukawaki is 28 years old this year.
Ever since he first watched Slam Dunk, he fell in love with the sport.
In the past ten years, Rukawamu dared to say that his love for basketball was no less than Kobe, his desire to win in basketball was no less than Kobe, and his training in basketball was not less than Kobe.
However, he was only 175 tall.
There was a time when Rukawaki thought about giving up basketball, which he loved.
But when he heard the familiar BGM "until the end of the world" again, there was an unstoppable tremor in his heart, and Rukawaki knew that it was impossible for him to let go.
Since then, he has never thought of giving up.
Rukawaki knew that height was already a disadvantage that he couldn't change, so he could only make him stronger in other aspects.
So strong that others can forget his height!
Rukawa Kaede has thrown millions of balls, so he will have to throw tens of millions!
169's Sibert Webb can be the NBA's dunk king, then he can also be the slam dunk king of China!
There is no doubt that under the training of Rukawamu day after day, he is famous in the Huaxia street ball circle, and even in the world.
However, he has always had a career dream in his heart.
Although Rukawaki knows very well that he will not be able to enter the NBA in his life, he still has hope for the CBA.
It's just that in the CBA draft every year, he participates again and again, and loses again and again.
Just because of his height of 175!
Until this year, Shi Shuo Net appeared in front of everyone in a sensational posture in the basketball circle.
Rukawaki realized that maybe his career dream should go on in a different way.
That's the apprenticeship.
Looking at Zhao Zhongzhong of Shimizu No. 1 Middle School on the court, he once again hooked the ball into the basket in the face of the opposing player with his magical hook hand.
Rukawaki seems to see the shadow of the shooting he once practiced.
Rukawaki knows very well that this seemingly incredible hook is never talent and luck, it is the muscle memory and feel formed by thousands of trainings.
It is a very mysterious feeling, so that Zhao Zhongzhong can have a mechanically accurate hook hit rate.
And this feeling can only be obtained by sweat.
Rukawamu looked at Zhao Zhongzhong, who was simple on the court, and really liked this high school student who didn't know how much he had paid for basketball behind his back.
But he also knows that he is not good at hooking, so he will not mistake people's children.
And Zhao Zhongzhong's hook hand seems to be self-taught, and there is no one to teach him anything.
All he has left to improve is his physicality and ball quotient, neither of which was taught.
Rukawamu looked at Qing Shui Yizhong, who was like a bamboo on the field, and sighed in his heart: It's good to be young!
Growing taller is better!
......
Before you know it, the game has entered the fourth quarter.
Shimizu No. 1 Middle School took a large lead by more than 30 points.
The players on the court could only cope with the fact that they knew that today was their last game in the National High School Basketball League.
Everyone felt exhausted, their feet were like they were filled with lead water, and their hands were like barbells tied to them.
Lin Nan and Zhao Zhongzhong's offense was too difficult to defend, although they both knew that they couldn't defend it, they couldn't defend passively, and they had to pounce one after another, desperately trying to keep up with each other's footsteps.
Suddenly, the team members of Qinhai Middle School heard an abrupt "Come on, Qinhai", which was quickly drowned out in the uniform sound of "Come on" in the audience.
The team members of Qinhai Middle School raised their heads and saw the green dots in the red middle corner of the audience, which were fans from their Qinhai Middle School hundreds of miles away!
They are also the pride of their Qinhai City! They also carry their hopes of Qinhai City! They also have their fans of Qinhai City!
The almost overdrawn bodies of the team members of Qinhai Middle School once again surged with strength.
They don't want to have regrets when they are young!
In the incredible eyes of the audience and the commentary, Qinhai Middle School, which seemed to them to be exhausted, actually fought a small climax of a counterattack.
Three three-pointers in a row, 9 points in a row!
"This is youth!" Rukawaki smiled at his friend.
However, after Lin Nan got the offensive ball again, she very cleverly slowed down the offensive rhythm, and only shot in the last 3 tacit moments of 24 seconds and successfully scored.
Ruthlessly interrupt this wave of counterattack morale of Qinhai Middle School!
"Hey, this Lin Nan is strong!" said to his friend again.
"If Zhao Zhongzhong is diligent, then Lin Nan is talent and diligence, his body, ball sense, and ball quotient are all very prominent, I can't imagine that he is just a freshman in high school!"
What Liuchuanmu didn't expect was that Lin Nan was the basketball rookie who played in Lingnan Park a year ago and won his friend's son!
And his friend's son is currently in his first year of high school at Lingnan High School, and he was not even selected as a substitute for the 15-man basketball team of Lingnan High School this time.
Lin Nan is already the absolute core of Qingshui No. 1 Middle School, and the second place in the comprehensive score list!
caused such a gap, is Lin Nan's talent too strong?
No, it's more because Lin Nan works harder than 99% of high school students who like basketball.
In the end, Shimizu won their first match of the third round, and there was a steady stream of shouts and cheers from the audience.
Lin Nan and the others all had a triumphant smile on their faces, and the players of Qinhai Middle School could only leave the field gloomily.
The result of the victory was revealed in the final moments of the match, but the process of victory was filled with sweat before the game.
One minute on stage, ten years off stage.
The players of Shimizu No. 1 High School have not been training for ten years, but now they are a strong division of high school teams in the country!
