Episode 60 Lose

It's late when I get home, I go straight to sleep, I don't set the alarm clock, anyway, I don't have to play tomorrow, I don't have to go, just don't go, just sleep lazy......

The next morning, at the Tianhe Sports Center......

"Coach, Fonda hasn't arrived yet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info" Long Chengao said worriedly.

"yes, why hasn't he come yet, he's the pillar of the team!" Fang Tianhong said.

"Alright, alright! I already told Fonda yesterday! I'm not going to let him play today. It's normal for him not to come. Li Wenzhong said.

"Why! We know the strength of Eighty-six Middle School, although it is inferior to Forty-Seven Middle School, but it is also very powerful, we may not be able to win without him!" Fang Tianhong said.

Li Wenzhong looked at the expressions of the players and said: "If you have to rely on the high school basketball emperor to win the game, then what kind of national competition are you playing? What's more, this is just a Guangzhou city game, and you rely on Fang Da like this? In this way, others say that you win because of the high school basketball emperor, if they can win the game like a high school emperor, what will you do? Do you want them to continue to say this? I hope you will win this game today by your own strength!" If you can't win, then we might as well go home! I don't want anyone to think of Huafu as the first to mention the emperor of high school basketball in the future, but I want to mention all of us by name when Huafu is mentioned!"

Li Wenzhong said this, and all the players ...... solemn faces, "No problem, what's so difficult about this? Isn't it just an eighty-six middle school?" Wang Zhen said coldly.

"Yes, we don't need to be afraid of them! Go to our teammates! Let's show them that Huafu has a group of outstanding players in addition to the emperor of high school basketball!" Long Chengao said. Suddenly, all the team members yelled in unison!

……

It's game time, the game starts, and all the players play...... Li Wenzhong's starting lineup is still the same as in the past, center, Long Chengao, power forward, Meng An, small forward, Wang Zhen, scoring guard, Fang Tianhong, and point guard, Zheng Haolin.

Lineup in Eighty-Six:

Center, Hu Hao, 197cm

Power forward, Zip Peak, 195cm

Small forward, Liu Hao, 186cm

Shooting guard, Pang Feng, 182cm

Point guard, Wang Hao, 178cm

……

At the beginning of the game, Long Chengao jumped to the ball with an absolute height advantage, and the ball was dialed to Zheng Haolin, Zheng Haolin quickly advanced as soon as he received the ball, at this time the other party seemed to have expected that they couldn't jump the ball, so everyone took a step earlier and returned to their own area! There was no chance to attack quickly! But Zheng Haolin still did not slow down, Zheng Haolin forcibly broke through the inner line, and the other party had already stood firm and waited for Zheng Haolin to rush in...... Zheng Haolin rushed into the inside line to prepare for a throw, but several hands around him pounced to shoot Zheng Haolin's ball......

"Toot!" the referee blew for a foul on the player in Eighty-six, and Zheng Haolin made two free throws.

It's a pity that Zheng Haolin didn't score two free throws, but this is also normal, Zheng Haolin's shooting was originally a hundred shots...... But that would be a missed opportunity......

It was the turn of the eighty-sixth middle school to attack, Wang Hao dribbled the ball over half the court and then passed to Pang Feng, Fang Tianhong followed Pang Feng closely, at this time a big man suddenly blocked Fang Tianhong, Pang Feng quickly rushed into the inside line and then passed to the center Hu Hao......

"Toot!" Long Chengao's thug fouled...... Hu Hao made two free throws!

Hu Hao scored these two goals very steadily...... 0:2。

At this time, on the sidelines, the players of Guangdong Experimental Middle School finished the game and came to watch......

"What? Huafu's high school basketball emperor didn't come? This is too much to look down on Eighty-six Middle School, right?" said Ou Chengran, the main point guard of the province.

"Cut, just Long Chengao, that guy, he is indeed a stronger guy than me, but his skills are too bad and he was abused by me under the basket last year, I think he hasn't grown up this year. Zhong Tianxing, the main center of the province, said that he is 207cm tall and also made the national high school all-star team last year.

"Huafu's entire team is a rabble, among all of them, Wang Zhen and Fang Tianhong are a little better, but Fang Tianhong's ball style is too soft, and Wang Zhen's skills are also a cut worse, the only thing is to shoot accurately, but it is useless to see him to death, so it is not a threat to us; , both times were big victories over Huafu, so Huafu has nothing to worry about, and the only thing left is the so-called high school basketball emperor. Provincial coach Hu Zhijin said.

"Cut, no matter how powerful you are, you can't break our joint defense!" Ou Chengran said with a disdainful face, "Even if he is a high school emperor, he can't win me! Even if he can win, I can't win our joint defense!"

……

"Da'er! I'm getting up!" I heard my mom wake me up in bed.

"What's the matter? We don't have to go to school today when our basketball team plays!" I said.

"Then why don't you go to the game?" said my mom anxiously.

"Well, I don't have to play today! so I don't have to go......" I said impatiently.

"Don't you have to play? Then what is your coach's name just now, Li Wenzhong called me and asked me to wake you up, and he asked you to hurry up to the stadium. My mom said.

"How could it be......" I didn't believe what my mom said.

"It's true! Look! It's caller ID, come out and take a look!" After saying that, my mother dragged me to the living room and asked me to call back......

"Coach, what's the matter? Didn't you say I didn't have to play?" I said weakly.

"If you don't play, we'll lose!" Li Wenzhong looked anxious.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't let me play if I lost?" I said.

"Something is wrong! Anyway, come quickly! If you don't come, your dream of winning the national championship will be gone!" Li Wenzhong said deliberately.

"Oh!" I suddenly sobered up! I can't stop here! Although we lost this one and were eliminated, there was still a rematch, but I was too lazy to play the rematch!

Without saying goodbye to the coach, I hung up the phone, put on my shoes, and rushed out the door......

……

"Toot!" the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the score was 30:38, and Huafu was eight points behind!

During the break, Coach Li Wenzhong was helpless, he didn't arrange any tactics, he knew very well that Huafu was indeed better than the 86th Middle School in terms of overall strength, and his own players did not play badly, but the helpless 86th Middle School seized Huafu's weakness, that is, free throws! In the team, except for Fang Tianhong and Wang Zhen's free throws, which were quite stable, the free throws of others were simply miserable! The only solution now is to let Fang Da play, as long as Fang Da is on the field, the game will be completely controlled by Huafu, but Fang Da did not come at all, Li Wenzhong knows that Fang Da is on his way, but I am afraid it will be too late......

The game continued, Huafu was still the starting lineup, but all the substitutes were replaced in the eighty-six......

At the beginning of the second half, the two sides jumped the ball, Long Chengao still jumped to the ball with an absolute advantage, Zheng Haolin dribbled the ball slowly, and the point guard in the eighty-sixth immediately came up to follow, Zheng Haolin passed the ball to Wang Zhen, Wang Zhen broke through as soon as he received the ball, and the opponent's small forward chased after him......

"Toot!" The whistle sounded, and when the scoring guard in Eighty-six came to make up for it, he hit Wang Zhen's hand, and Wang Zhen made two free throws......

Wang Zhen made two free throws and one score, and the score became 31:38.

The opponent's point guard dribbled the ball and threw the ball directly into the inside line after half the court, Long Chengao was in a hurry to pounce and wanted to cut off the pass, but the opponent's center seemed to have expected it a step in advance and rushed up to catch the pass, because he couldn't grasp the center of gravity for a while, and was turned by the center Meng An wanted to pounce to make up for the defense, but it was a step too late, and the center passed Long Chengao and then made a basket, 31:40.

"Long Chengao, don't be so anxious!!" Li Wenzhong roared, he had already bitten his lip, he regretted his decision yesterday, without Fonda the chances of winning this game are really too small, and he regrets that he didn't catch everyone to practice free throws when he was training......

Zheng Haolin dribbled quickly past half the court and then looked at the running position of his teammates on the field, at this time Meng An and Long Chengao were stuck in position, in terms of body, the opponent's interior players were not at all a grade compared to Long Chengao and Meng An!

The ball was hoisted to Long Chengao, the opponent's center wanted to try to pounce from behind to cut off the pass, but Long Chengao was too strong to jam him, Long Chengao played the center in the eighty-six, and suddenly turned around, the center wanted to follow up and was pushed away by Long Chengao, and then Long Chengao was about to dunk, and the big forward on the other side pounced early......

"Toot!" the referee blew the whistle, and the big forward in Eighty-Six fouled him, because the big forward knew that he couldn't prevent Long Chengao's dunk, so he chose to foul......

Long Chengao still didn't score two free throws, and the ball was snatched by the big forward in 86.

At this time, the point guard and the point guard in Eighty-Six all rushed to the opposite side, and Wang Zhen and Fang Tianhong had not yet reacted...... The big forward made a strong pass, and the ball flew over the heads of Wang Zhen and Fang Tianhong at once, at this time Wang Zhen and Fang Tianhong reacted, but it was too late...... In this way, the opponent played a fast attack, and the score became 31:42.

Li Wenzhong was very anxious on the sidelines, but he didn't call a timeout, and it was useless to call for it, so should he ask everyone to make his free throws accurately? This is useful? Li Wenzhong was only in a hurry, he begged Fang Da to hurry up......

The game continued, Zheng Haolin dribbled the ball and saw Fang Tianhong asking for the ball in the half, and directly passed the ball to Fang Tianhong, Fang Tianhong was about to break through with the ball, the scoring guard in the eighty-six was on defense, Fang Tianhong suddenly retreated outside the three-point line and then shot three-point......

"Bump!" ball smashes into the basket, 34:42.

Li Wenzhong, who was on the sidelines, also breathed a sigh of relief: "There is still a little hope, after all, there are still two guys, Fang Tianhong and Wang Zhen, ......"

At this time, the opponent's point guard quickly dribbled across the half court, Zheng Haolin went up to defend, and the point guard immediately passed the ball to the center on the inside, and Long Chengao went up to defend......

"Toot!" The whistle sounded, and Long Chengao fouled a thug, and Long Chengao had already committed four fouls at this time!

Seeing such a scene, Li Wenzhong wanted to cry without tears......

……

As soon as I rushed out of the door, I immediately called a taxi, because it was too late to make a bus now, and it would be more expensive!

As soon as I got in the taxi, the driver accelerated, but it was work time, and the traffic was jammed, so I was stuck in the middle of the road......

"Damn! Why is it so inopportune?"

I don't know how long it took, finally stopped the traffic jam, the taxi driver began to accelerate, but the unfortunate thing came again, it was almost to the sports center, and there was a car accident in front of it! As a result, a bunch of cars were blocked in front again, and the taxi driver stopped helplessly......

"Damn! I can't catch up if we go on like this!" "I'm so anxious, are we doomed to lose? Wouldn't we? Huafu still has Fang Tianhong and Wang Zhen here, it shouldn't necessarily lose!"

I don't know how long it took, but the car that was crashed by the car accident was finally towed away...... When I got to the main entrance of the sports center, I paid the taxi driver and immediately rushed into the sports center......

……

At this time, it is in the outdoor basketball court of the sports center......

"Toot!" the referee blew the final whistle, the final score was 65:76, and the eighty-six won the game to advance to the semifinals, and Huafu was eliminated and waited for the rematch...... At this time, all the players in Huafu had heavy faces......

On the sidelines......

"Huafu is simply a rabble, nothing to see. Ou Chengran said disdainfully.

"It seems that the basketball emperor didn't come, I don't think he overslept?" Zhong Tianxing yawned.

"Okay, is a team of Huafu's level also worthy of our attention? It seems that we can still be our opponent in Guangzhou City, Guangzhou Railway No. 1 Middle School! Let's go!" Hu Zhijin said.

Then the group of people left the province......

"I don't know how to say you're okay...... In a word, practice free throws after going back!" Li Wenzhong said helplessly, he knew very well that it was useless for him to say anything now, Hua Fu did not lose in strength, but obviously lost in free throws! The other party just seized the free throws and completely defeated Hua Fu......

At this time, I rushed to the basketball court and found Li Wenzhong's group, and I immediately rushed over, only to see that everyone had heavy faces...... I looked at the scoreboard on the field......

"Sixty-five to seventy-six?" I said, surprised.

"Did we win or lose?" I don't know who wins or loses, but it was very unsightly to see all the players on the field, and on the other side of the eighty-six, every player cheered happily...... It looks like we've lost......

"The next few rematches will be very tough, and all teams except the former champions and runners-up will have to participate, which means that we may play again in the rematch and the 86th middle school, because the 86th middle school may also enter the semi-final ......," Li Wenzhong said.

"Why are you so sure that the Eighty-Six Middle School will also make it to the semifinals?" I asked, did he just make such a conclusion?

"Because the opponent of the next semi-final 86 will be Guangdong Experimental Middle School, it can be judged from the strength of the 86 Middle School that it will lose. Li Wenzhong said.

"Then you can't jump to such conclusions, how do you know the result before the game starts?" I asked, because I didn't know why Li Wenzhong would jump to such a conclusion.

"I know very well the coach of the province, he is very strict, he does not allow the players to make mistakes, so generally the strength of the school is not as good as the province can not win the province. Li Wenzhong said.

"Really, think about it three years ago, our Huafu was also a big weaker Nanyang, maybe the result was that we lost, but we almost won, we can't draw such a conclusion. "I deny Coach Lee's point of view.

"That's because three years ago, Hua Fu had a super genius like you, but what about the situation in Eighty-Six now? I just watched, 12 players in the 86 middle school are on the court, the strength of each of their teams is not outstanding in our team, it can be said that we do not lose to the 86 middle school in every position, and the overall strength we are even stronger than the 86 middle school, we just lose in the free throws, and the province actually has a national high school all-star level center Zhong Tianxing, and there is also a talented defender known as Ou Chengran, their strength I am very clear, so tomorrow's semi-finals 86 will definitely lose and enter the semifinals with us. Li Wenzhong said.

"It makes sense! I don't care about it, even if it's a Guangdong Provincial Experimental Middle School, I'm not afraid, let alone an eighty-six middle school!" I said, clenching my fists.

"From now on, I'm going to make a team rule!" Li Wenzhong said.

"What team rules?" I asked curiously.

"No matter who it is, whether he can play or not, he has to come to the stadium!" Li Wenzhong stared at me and said.

"Uh......" I immediately bowed my head......

"Think about today's game, if Fang Da comes, I can send him on the court at any time to solve the problem, it won't be like today!" It can be seen that Li Wenzhong is in a very bad mood......

Suddenly we were speechless......

"When does the rematch start?" I said suddenly, seeing that everyone was dull.

"After the Guangzhou City game is over, the rematch will be held in two days! Everyone must be ready, I will let you practice free throws in the next three days!" Li Wenzhong said very loudly.

In this way, every member of our team was very disappointed because of the loss, and Li Wenzhong arranged tomorrow's training time, and gathered at the basketball hall of Huafu at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

On the time to get home......

"Fangda!" a voice came from behind me to my ears, and as soon as I heard it, I knew it was Li Wenzhong.

"Coach, what's the matter?" I asked.

"Tomorrow you can train or not. But tomorrow morning I want you to watch the Final Four. Li Wenzhong said.

"Why?" I asked, surprised.

"Then you'll know how strong the other teams are in the top four. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, and when the time comes, we will be sure to win when we encounter the provincial reality. Li Wenzhong said as if ordering.

"No, do you still lose if I'm here?" I said with a smile.

"Okay, if I want you to go and see it, I will let you go and see the Guangdong Experimental Middle School! If you take a closer look at their strength, we will definitely play against them in the competition in Guangdong Province!" Li Wenzhong said.

"Is there such a good thing in the province? It is true that they are the first in Guangdong Province, but that is also ......."

"Okay! Don't talk nonsense, if you want to see it, you can go and see it!" Li Wenzhong interrupted me.

"Okay, good ......" Seeing that Li Wenzhong was in a hurry, I had to nod and agree.

……

The next morning, in order to listen to the coach, I deliberately got up early and went to the Tianhe Sports Center.

The two matches of the semi-finals were held almost at the same time, one was the match between No. 86 Middle School and the other was the match between Guangzhou No. 1 Middle School and Guangzhou Railway No. 1 Middle School...... I didn't bother to watch the game between No. 1 Middle School and Guangzhou Railway No. 1 Middle School, and I remember that yesterday the coach emphasized the provincial reality, so of course I went to watch the showdown between the 86th Middle School and the provincial reality.

The game was about to start and I looked at the starting line-ups on both sides......

Lineup in Eighty-Six:

Center, Hu Hao, 197cm

Power forward, Zip Peak, 195cm

Small forward, Liu Hao, 186cm

Shooting guard, Pang Feng, 182cm

Point guard, Wang Hao, 178cm

Provincial lineup:

Center, Zhong Tianxing, 207cm

Power forward, Liang Yongfei, 198cm

Small forward, Deng Qingyu, 188cm

Shooting guard, Yuan Ouyong, 184cm

Point guard, Ou Chengran, 180cm

From the lineup, it can be seen that the internal advantage of the province is very obvious! I finally understand why Huafu lost to the province twice last year......

Zhong Tianxing is not only tall, but also very strong, although his body is slightly inferior to Long Chengao, weighing about 111kg, but I also want to know that his skills are not comparable to Long Chengao!

The game began, and Zhong Tianxing, who jumped the ball at the beginning, jumped to the ball with an absolute advantage, and the ball was handed over to Ou Chengran...... The so-called genius point guard Ou Chengran? Let me see how strong you really are!
