Chapter Seventy-Four: Li Jie Erupts
At 8 o'clock in the morning on Monday, the lower bracket match was held as scheduled. The www.biquge.info will have six matches today, two in Group A in the morning, two in Group B in the afternoon, and two in Group C in the evening.
According to the results of Li Hua's draw yesterday, Chinese Middle School was placed in Group A, and like him, there are Wolf Warrior Middle School, Hongyang Middle School, Caolian Middle School and Golden Lion Middle School in Group A.
For this result, the Chinese middle school can be described as both happy and sad. The good thing is that they are lucky not to be in the same group as Ryoma Middle School, and the sad thing is that Wolf Warrior Middle School and Golden Lion Middle School are also characters that are not easy to mess with.
But today they can be happy, because the first match of the day is the Chinese middle school vs. Cao Lian middle school. Unexpectedly, the first opponent in the lower bracket was Cao Lian Middle School, and the players of the Chinese Middle School clenched their fists, they didn't want to let last year's tragedy repeat. But judging from Cao Lian Middle School's previous performance, there will be no accidents. This time, the Chinese middle school will take revenge on Cao Lian Middle School.
Under the leadership of Li Hua, the players of the Chinese Middle School walked neatly to the bench.
Ling Hao looked at the Cao Lian Middle School player opposite and swore, "We must win." ”
Next to him, Zhao Xin accosted: "Cut! Easily blow them up." ”
Ling Hao smiled and said, "Don't underestimate the enemy. ”
Soon, the players of both sides settled their luggage, went on the field to simply warm up, and the game began.

Wen Hao, big forward, 1.88 meters tall, number 0.
Li Jie, small forward, 1.82 meters tall, 24.

Cao Lian Middle School starting lineup:
Chen Yong, power forward, 1.87 meters tall, 85 meters.
Wen Hong, small forward, 1.84 meters tall, 75 meters.
Xu Jing, center, 1.91 meters tall, 65 meters.
Lei Zhongyu, scoring guard, 1.83 meters tall, 55.
Guo Feng, point guard, 1.80 meters tall, 45.
Because Yun Feng was injured, Li Jie had to replace him. It's a rare opportunity to start, and Li Jie doesn't want to waste it. Especially the opponent in this game is Cao Lian Middle School, which is not very strong, so he naturally wants to give his best performance.
He thought so, fortunately, he did the same. At the beginning of the game, Li Jie received Zhao Xin's jump ball, quickly dribbled to the frontcourt, and took advantage of the unstable foothold of the players from Cao Lian Middle School to make a three-step layup.
Back on the defensive end, Li Jie also performed very well. He first saw through Guo Feng's passing intention and successfully cut off the ball. In the fast attack, Li Jie also successfully passed Wen Hong, who was back to defense, by changing direction, avoiding Chen Yong's big hand and throwing the ball high, and completing an aerial relay with Zhao Xin.
However, this is not over, Li Jie's performance continues.
Cao Lian Middle School's offense ended when Lei Zhongyu missed a shot in the right arc, Zhao Xin grabbed the rebound and passed it to Ling Hao, as soon as Ling Hao dribbled to the front court, he immediately transferred the ball to him when he saw that Li Jie had a vacancy in the bottom right corner.
By the time Wen Hong reacted, it was too late, and Li Jie threw the ball in against his defense and scored two points again.
Everyone thought that the attack of the Chinese Middle School had ended, but they didn't expect Cao Lian Middle School to make a service error and was broken by Ling Hao. Seeing this, the two Cao Lian middle school players in the front court were anxious, and immediately went up to cover Ling Hao.
Li Jie had only run to the half-court position when he returned to the defense, and when he saw Ling Hao breaking the ball, he immediately stepped forward to respond. Ling Hao passed the ball out of the gap, Li Jie caught the ball outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, stabilized a little, aimed his eyes at the basket, raised his hand, jumped, and shot. The basketball drew a graceful arc in the air, and Li Jie confidently turned around and walked towards the backcourt. Behind him, there was a "Wow!", and the ball hollowed into the net.
"Pretend!" Zhao Xin and Wen Hao looked at each other with contempt.
"Toot!" Cao Lian Middle School called a timeout.
In the first 3 minutes of the game, the Chinese middle school played a small climax of 9:0, and the 9 points were all related to Li Jie. In these 3 minutes, Li Jie scored 7 points, 1 assist and 1 steal. In normal times, it would take him at least two games to get those stats.
"Li Jie, you played beautifully. Ling Hao came over and patted Li Jie and returned to the bench with him.
After drinking a little drink, Li Hua didn't arrange any tactics, just let them continue to fight at this pace, and victory was basically in the bag.
On the other side, the coach of Cao Lian Middle School was yelling at the players. Especially Wen Hong, who was directly scolded for being bloody. Not for anything else, just because Li Jie was originally just a substitute, and he couldn't even prevent Li Jie.
After scolding, their coach sat down and said with a little sadness: "I know that this year's Chinese middle school is very strong, and it is a world of difference from last year. If we want to win the current Chinese middle school, there is basically no hope. But we can't give up just because of that, even if we lose, we have to give our best, we have to lose like a man, I hear no !!."
Encouraged by the coach's words, the player shouted: "I heard !!"
"Toot!"
After the pause, Li Jie did the same, and threw the ball against Wen Hong. It's a pity that the ball is a little smaller, and after smashing the outer basket, it bounced back, and was taken into Wen Hong's arms.
"Hey!" Guo Feng shouted at Wen Hong, then went over to catch the ball and carefully dribbled it to the front court.
Next is the tactics that have become commonplace, Chen Yong came out to help block and dismantle, and when Guo Feng got rid of Ling Hao and Wen Hao stepped forward to make up for the defense, one ran back to the basket to kill.
Although it is the simplest coordination, it is also the most useful, Chen Yong went smoothly from running back to receiving the ball. But when he was too good to shoot, one hand suddenly slapped the ball off his hand. By the time he saw the owner of this hand, Xiao Ling had already picked up the ball he had dropped and ran to the front court.
After a quick glance at the front, Wen Hao had already run to the front court and was turning around and reaching out to him for the ball, and the players from Cao Lian Middle School were more than 1 meter away from him. Seeing this, Xiao Ling threw a long flick and successfully passed the ball to Wen Hao's hand.
Wen Hao had already run to the free throw line when he received the ball, so he didn't dribble, just took two big steps and jumped with both hands.
"Defend me! Defend faster! You haven't eaten!"
As a good player, you will not be affected by external things and keep a clear mind at all times. Especially point guards, this is crucial. And Guo Feng, the freshman point guard of Caolian Middle School, is obviously too young. Hearing the coach shouting on the sidelines, the anger that had been suppressed in his heart also exploded, and he directly hugged the ball against Ling Hao's body and squeezed under the basket. And this impulsive approach, the result can be imagined, Zhao Xin directly gave him a pegboard hat, and successfully grabbed this rebound, quarterback-style long pass to Ling Hao.
Ling Hao shook off Lei Zhongyu with a standard European step, and the ball wiped the board.
The score was 13-0, and there were still 6 minutes left in the first quarter.
