Chapter 60: The Upcoming Quarterfinals
Following
At nine o'clock in the morning, the Chinese men's basketball team against Lebanon will be played at the Tokyo Basketball Center, and there are still few people in the stands at this time, but this time is different from the past, in the east stands, there are many hot, hotly dressed girls, I saw them holding a big sign in their hands, and shouting loudly in Chinese that they are not fluent in: "Liu Tianguo will win! Liu Tianguo come on! Liu Tianguo will win!"
Liu Shulin sat behind the group of girls on crutches, and Liu Tianyao accompanied him awkwardly.
Yang Zifeng took a closer look at the content on the sign they were holding, which read: Liu Tiange!
Even the Lebanese players watched in amazement.
"Aha......" The Chinese players in the substitute area were already laughing.
"Liu Tianguo, you are so blessed! How about I ask you to pretend to be a wave pot in the future?" hahaha......" Yu Fei said while holding his stomach.
"I've really seen this kind of pomp in reality, haha!" Sun Zhaoting also said at this time.
"To be honest, I'm envious!" Ren Zhonglong also said with a smile.
"I want to laugh for real!" Tian Kong also laughed.
"Tiange, is this the way your grandfather wants to cheer you on, it's really different!" Cui Maixiang also quipped.
"Yes, it's a record, it's estimated that domestic high school students do this, you are the first, hahaha!" Yu Fei said with a laugh.
"You'd better shut up for me, otherwise, I'll kill you!" Liu Tiange said sharply, he felt very troubled at this time, he really didn't know what his grandfather thought, he was really embarrassed.
"Hey, I haven't laughed at you yet, I'll laugh when they're done!" Yang Zifeng said at this time.
"Shut up! If you dare to laugh, I dare to go undercover. Liu Tiange glared at him at this time and said.
"Uh...... , Yang Zifeng, then you just shut up! Everyone else can laugh!" Cui Maixiang said.
"Damn, you guys are discriminating!" Yang Zifeng said.
This game, basically a one-sided situation, although Lebanon defeated Singapore, but also defeated Taiwan, China, but in the face of the strong Chinese team, they did not have any chance to counterattack, Zhang Zhixin and Xu Ning and Liu Tiange three people's offensive momentum, no one can stop these three people, the final score was fixed at 123-55, the Chinese team advanced to the top 8 as the first in the group, Lebanon entered the quarterfinals as the second in the group, the two teams will get the final if they want to meet again, the Chinese Taiwan team and the Singapore team were both eliminated。
Perhaps the only highlight of this game is Liu Tiange's special cheerleading team, knowing that the game is over, there are still many people laughing there.
At lunchtime at noon, Liu Tiange seriously discussed this issue with Liu Shulin in Liu Shulin's room.
"Grandpa, you need a lot of money to hire this special cheerleader!" Liu Tiange said as he looked at Liu Shulin in front of him on the sofa in the living room of the room.
"It's okay, for grandpa, these are small money, if you think the number of people is not enough, I can add some more people to you, and guarantee that you will play a few games, and give you a few more oil, hahahaha!" Liu Shulin said with a laugh.
"I don't want to say this, grandpa, I want to tell you, this cheerleader, you'd better withdraw for me, I don't like it very much!" Liu Tiange said.
"Eh, Tiange, how can there be a man who doesn't like beautiful women, this kind of pomp, others want it yet, let me tell you, I have paid the deposit, and then if you can reach the finals, these people will follow you all the way, how majestic!" Liu Shulin said.
"Eh, you're really looking at me......" Liu Tiange looked at Liu Shulin speechlessly.
"Tiange!" Liu Shulin patted Liu Tiange on the shoulder at this time and said, "If you have any difficulties or want in the future, be the first to tell me, if you don't tell me, I will have to guess by myself, hahaha!"
"Well, you just have to sit in the stands, that's the biggest encouragement for me, don't do anything else. Liu Tiange said with a serious expression at this time.
"Child, don't help grandpa save money, grandpa is old, he can't spend any amount of money, as long as you are happy, it doesn't matter how much money you spend, okay, you just need to prepare for your competition with peace of mind!
"Well, don't mess around!" Liu Tiange said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Tiange!" Liu Shulin said with a smile.
"Well, I always feel unreliable!" Liu Tiange said speechlessly.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Cui Maixiang called all the men's basketball players for a meeting in the lounge of the hotel!
"Comrades, the results of the quarterfinals are now in, do you know who our opponents are in the first round?" Cui Maixiang said.
"Judging from the previous results and groupings, it's either South Korea or the Philippines!" Yang Yujia said.
"That's right, it's the Philippines!" Cui Maixiang said.
"The Philippines is our old adversary!" Qin Long said at this time.
Ai Ji nodded and said: "They are very strong, and there are a lot of foreign players, many of them are black athletes, they are very fast, but their skills still need to be polished." ”
"Can you invite foreign masters to participate in this competition?" asked Xu Ning at this time.
Cui Maixiang nodded and said, "As long as this person is the nationality of this country, it's fine!"
"I'll go, you can still do this!" Yu Fei said in surprise.
"Well, in fact, every country can do this, like South Korea's national team in recent years, there are also naturalized players, and Japan also has it, which may be a trend in the future. Cui Maixiang looked at them and said.
"It's boring, what's the point of doing this, even if you win?" Liu Tiange said disdainfully.
"For ordinary people, it's really not interesting, but for the leaders of the Sports Bureau, this is the record, which can help you get promoted. Cui Maixiang said.
"It seems that the crows are black everywhere!" Liu Tiange said unhappily.
"The other battles have also come out!" Yang Zifeng asked at this time.
"Hmm!" Cui Maixiang nodded and said, "The other countries are Lebanon vs. Iran, South Korea vs. India, and Japan vs. Qatar. ”
"Except for the Japanese pair against Qatar, which is a bit suspenseful, the other groups can basically know who will advance!" Zhuo Nanhu said.
"Yes, if we make it to the last four, we will face one of Japan and Qatar. Cui Maixiang said.
"So, we can't meet the Korean team?" asked Yu Fei.
"It's not that there is no chance of running into it, unless the South Korean team can win against the Iranian team!" Yang Yujia said.
"It's a bit difficult. Ai Ji said.
"In fact, for both teams, the winning rate is five or five points, especially in the case of only one game, any situation can happen, mainly to see whose momentum and psychological advantage!" Yang Zifeng said.
"Zifeng is right, I went through the previous information, in the past, we basically competed with the South Korean team for the championship, but the Iranian team came from behind, and a large number of basketball talents emerged, and the strength of the Korean team is indeed declining, but never underestimate the heart of a championship. We must be prepared for both the war against South Korea and, more importantly, the fight against Iran. Cui Maixiang said.
Everyone nodded.
However, on the other side, the Chinese women's basketball team has also come out, they will play against Chinese Taiwan in the round of 8, that is, tomorrow at 9 am, Japan will play against Malaysia, South Korea against India, Thailand against Sri Lanka!
At night, Yang Zifeng, who was tired, lay on the bed and chatted with He Yitong on WeChat:
"You go to Maple Park today, is it nice there?" He Yitong said.
"It's beautiful, but I think I missed a good show today, it's a shame. Yang Zifeng said.
"What's the show?" He Yitong asked.
"The guy surnamed Liu was detained for lighting a fire at the back of the hotel, and when Maizi and his grandfather picked him up, it seemed that he was surrounded by a group of high school thugs, and then my senior brother and they went to save Liu Tiange together, and they almost beat up in a group when they heard it. Yang Zifeng said.
"Group fighting, no, how can there be such a thing?" He Yitong said in surprise.
"Yes, I heard my brother say, Liu Tiange's kid almost wiped the neck of the other party's boss, it's a pity that I'm not here for such a beautiful scene. Yang Zifeng said regretfully.
"This is not so good, it almost killed someone, what are you thinking about in your head?" He Yitong said.
"Huh!"
"Mai Xiang, are they alright!"
"It's fine, unscathed. ”
"That's good, hey, back to the point, you love pears to go to the park, don't do anything else!"
"No, I'll take her home after visiting the park, and then I'll be back myself?"
"Well, you don't dare!"
"Hahaha...... (hugging emoji)"
(hugging emoji)"
November 3rd, fine.
At 9 o'clock this morning, the Chinese Youth Women's United Team will compete with the Chinese Taiwan team for the top four spots, and this day is also the day that Cui Maixiang won a full day of training for the Chinese high school men's basketball team.
So today's arena was more empty than ever.
At half past eight in the morning, Maki Oda and Reimu Watari took Junko Akai and Miyoko Kyokawa and strode towards the competition venue.
"Oh, why are you in a hurry, it's just the quarterfinals!" said Miyoko Kyokawa, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"That's right, I finally managed to sleep lazily this morning, and the coach also said let's rest more, and you two dragged us up, what are you doing!" said Junko Akai.
"I heard that the new coach of the Chinese team this time is a very powerful figure, we must not be careless!" Oda Maki said seriously.
"Maki is right, although their new coach is young, I have recently heard that he has a very good set, although our coach said not to worry, but I am still a little uneasy in my heart. Du Jia Lei Meng said.
"I see, you just think people are handsome, and you want to look at them twice!" said Junko Akai with a yawn.
"That's right, it's not just you, since I saw his appearance that day, my mind was full of his appearance that night, he was really handsome, but I also knew my ability, so I could only think about it......" Miyoko Kyokawa said helplessly.
"You really have this kind of leisure, do you think the same way everyone else?" asked Du Jialeimeng.
"How do I know this, I only know that at least 6 people think so. Junko Akai said with a smile.
"Damn, it seems that the atmosphere in the team should be rectified, otherwise it will be fine!" said Du Jia Lei Meng.
When a few of them walked into the stadium, the players on both sides were still warming up, at this time the stadium was empty, there were not a few people, there were some overseas Chinese or Japanese workers in the past, but since the loss to the Japanese women's team, the women's basketball team, which was originally unpopular, is now watched by fewer people.
"Let's sit in the back!" said Wataraimon.
Everyone else nodded, and at this point Oda Maki looked around, as if looking for something.
"What are you looking at?" asked Du Jia Lei Meng.
"Oh, nothing!" Oda Maki said and quickly sat down.
"I know what she's looking at?" said Miyoko Kyokagawa with a smile.
"What are you looking at?" asked Watari Meng.
"Of course, I'm looking at where the Chinese boys' high school team is, hahaha......" said Miyoko Kyokawa.
"Ah, what are you doing with the men's basketball team?" asked Du Jialeimeng.
"It's not the men's basketball team that matters, it's one person in the men's basketball team!" said Miyoko Kyokagawa with a smile.
"Shut up, Miyoko!" Oda said aloud.
"Oops, I'm angry, look, I'm right!" said Miyoko Kyokawa, covering her mouth.
"Maki, don't you really like that person named Ning?" asked Watari Meng.
"Where...... Why, don't listen to their nonsense!" said Maki Oda.
"If they're talking nonsense, why are you blushing?" asked Watari Dream.
"I'm blushing, don't talk nonsense, let's watch the game quickly!" Oda Maki said as she looked ahead, and even though the players in front of her were still warming up, she also looked serious.
"Well, that's obviously a cover-up...... the others all looked at her speechlessly.
"Wow, look, the coach of the Chinese team is so handsome, the real person is more handsome than the one on the video!" said Chen Huili, the starting scoring guard in the bench area of the Chinese Taiwan team.
"Yes, it's really handsome, I didn't expect there to be such a tall and handsome boy in this world!" small forward Zhang Zilin also said.
Not only the two of them, but the other team members also looked at Ji Zhenru with a look of madness.
"Ahem, don't forget the task of your trip, not to see the handsome guys, but to come to the game, and to concentrate my spirits!" Ma Qing, the head coach of the Taiwan team, said sharply.
"Yes, coach!" the players of the Taiwanese women's basketball team came back to their senses.
"It's strange, why didn't the players of the men's basketball team come to cheer for their women's basketball team today?" said Maki Oda as she looked at the empty seats around her.
