Chapter 240: The Battle of the Dark Horse (1)
I've played, I've rested enough, and the day of the game has arrived. At 18:00 on the evening of March 27, Beijing time, a group of people from Chinese Middle School drove to the Hongyun Stadium.
They went to the familiar dressing room and expertly changed into red jerseys.
Ling Hao stretched out his right hand and shouted, "Everyone come here." ”
As soon as the others saw Ling Hao's movements, they immediately understood what he meant, and they all put their hands on the back of his hand and shouted loudly together: "Come on, come on, come on!"
Li Hua said: "Let's go, it's time to play, run." ”
So a group of people, under the leadership of Li Hua, jogged neatly towards the basketball court.
"Look, the players from the Chinese middle school are out!" the commentator shouted excitedly, and the camera on the big screen immediately turned to the players' tunnel.
When the handsome little faces of the players from the Chinese middle school appeared on the screen, the audience cheered.
"Remember, this is your home stadium and the whole crowd is going to cheer you on. But you have to keep your mind set at all times, and you can't be influenced by the passion of the audience and become overconfident and impulsive. In the same way, when you're playing away from home, you can't get frustrated because the crowd is cheering on the other side. Before the game, Li Hua made a point of emphasizing this to them.
And the players from Carrie Middle School, who were already warming up early, also watched the entry of the Chinese middle school players seriously.
Whether it is a Chinese middle school or a Jiali middle school, they are all freshmen in the national competition, and they are also dark horses in the national competition.
After a brief warm-up, the clock was fast approaching 18:55, the game was about to begin, and the starters of both sides were announced on the big screen.
Chinese High School Starting Lineup:
Wen Hao, big forward, 1.94 meters tall, number 0.
Yun Feng, small forward, 1.88 meters tall, No. 3.
Chu Kaixia, center, 2.09 meters tall, 17.
Xiao Ling, a shooting guard, is 1.85 meters tall and is 11.
Ling Hao, point guard, 1.83 meters tall, 27.
Carrie Secondary School starting lineup:
Zhang Wei, big forward, 1.97 meters tall, 41.
Hu Heng, small forward, 1.90 meters tall, No. 51.
Miao Qiankun, center, 2.04 meters tall, No. 61.
Sheng Wenming, scoring guard, 1.87 meters tall, 21.
Yu Wanhao, point guard, 1.70 meters tall, No. 11.
"Oh my God, what the hell is he. Chu Kaixia watched in surprise as Yu Wanhao walked to the middle of the team, in this battlefield where "masters" were like clouds, he looked like a primary school student.
"Don't underestimate him. Ling Hao looked at the large muscle on Yu Wanhao's arm, and said with a heavy face: "With his height, he can be the starting point guard, which means that he is very powerful." ”
"Beep!" the referee blew the whistle and shouted, "Salute both sides!"
The players in two rows bent down at the same time and shouted, "Please advise!"
At the end of the opening ceremony, the substitutes returned to the bench and the starters on the field stood in their respective positions, waiting for the jump ball.
"Beep!" the referee walked to the middle with the basketball and threw it high.
With his extraordinary height and arm length, Chu Kaixia easily jumped to the ball.
Seeing this, the players from Jiali Middle School immediately went back to defend without any idea, allowing Ling Hao to get the ball easily.
"It's so steady. Ling Hao just wanted to pass the ball to Wen Hao, who quickly sprinted to the basket, but he didn't expect Jiali Middle School to immediately shrink the defense, interrupting his idea.
After all, it had just begun, and Ling Hao was not in a hurry, after dribbling to the top of the arc, he changed direction and wanted to test Yu Wanhao a little under his crotch, but he didn't expect Yu Wanhao to stretch out his hand like lightning and slap the ball off in an instant.
"So fast!"
Surprised, Ling Hao quickly turned around and took the ball back. But when he turned around, he found that Yu Wanhao was standing still at all, and he didn't mean to grab the ball at all.
There were only 10 seconds left in the offensive time, Ling Hao took advantage of Xiao Ling's blocking to get rid of Yu Wanhao, and after meeting Sheng Wenming who came from the right high position, he made a pass from behind and handed the ball to Xiao Ling at the top of the arc.
Xiao Ling received the ball, immediately dribbled and took a step back to retreat outside the three-point line, and a shooting feint flew over Yu Wanhao, who was defending, and threw the ball out in the last 1 second of the offensive time.
"It's heavy. Xiao Ling knew that he had used up too much strength for the ball, but luck still favored him, and the ball bounced into the basket after smashing the board.
"Good shot. Ling Hao excitedly clapped his hands with Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling smiled and said, "It's just luck." ”
On the other side, Yu Wanhao silently took the serve and quickly advanced to the front court.
Sheng Wenming went around the right wing from the bottom right corner, Yu Wanhao immediately passed the ball to him, and then ran to the right side himself. Sheng Wen handed the ball back to Yu Wanhao, and then turned around to block Ling Hao.
Xiao Ling just wanted to step forward to make up for the defense, and Yu Wanhao quickly passed the ball from between him and Sheng Wenming to Hu Heng who was empty.
Xiao Ling looked back at Hu Heng, and it was by taking advantage of this gap that Yu Wanhao sneaked to the near bottom corner on the right side. Because Hu Heng's air cut attracted Chu Kaixia, Yu Wanhao's position is now completely vacant.
Hu Heng shook his little hand and passed the ball to Yu Wanhao.
Yu Wanhao received the ball, adjusted it slightly, and sent the ball into the basket steadily.
As soon as the ball went in, the players of the Chinese Middle School did not stand stupidly, Wen Hao immediately sprinted to the front court, wanting to play a quick offensive and defensive switch, but as soon as he arrived on the front foot, the five players of Jiali Middle School immediately followed up and stopped the fast attack of the Chinese Middle School.
And Chu Kaixia, who was ready to make a long pass, could only retract his movements awkwardly and gently pass it to Ling Hao.
In this attack, Ling Hao saw the opportunity to pass the ball to Chu Kaixia in the low left position.
After Chu Kaixia received the ball, he relied on his height advantage to directly turn over and jump shot.
may have just opened and not found the touch, this ball was thrown over the bridge and was accepted by Zhang Wei, who had been guarding for a long time.
"Defend back!" Ling Hao shouted.
The players of the Chinese Middle School returned to the front court to defend as quickly as possible, and Carrie Middle School was also very patient, waiting for the players of the Chinese Middle School to return to defend before bringing the ball to the front court in a hurry.
Yu Wanhao dribbled with his right hand, facing Ling Hao without any other movements, just suddenly accelerating, relying on his strong explosive power when Ling Hao just reacted.
"So fast. Ling Hao exclaimed, from the fact that he saw Yu Wanhao's body like a bomb that had been charged for a long time, he guessed that Yu Wanhao's explosive power must be very strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong, so strong that his reaction under his full attention could not keep up with Yu Wanhao's speed.
From Yu Wanhao's acceleration at the top of the arc to his layup, it took at most 1 second. Before everyone else could come to their senses, the attack at Carrie Middle School was over.
Looking at the departing Yu Wanhao, Ling Hao smiled, "Another tricky guy." ”
