On the day of the top 16 matches, it rained heavily in Guangzhou, and the heat of the past week was washed away. The time of the game was adjusted from the morning and afternoon time slots to the evening, in order to be broadcast live on TV.

In the first few years of the NHBA's establishment, only the national finals would be recorded and broadcast on TV stations, and whether they were played or not depended on the TV station's schedule, just like the NBA broadcast in China in the early years.

With the rapid development of NHBA, the rapid expansion of influence, especially the rapid development of online sports live broadcast in recent years, not only the NHBA national finals, but also the regional finals, the semifinals, the quarterfinals, the quarterfinals, and the top 16 matches have begun to be broadcast live on TV and the Internet.

From the round of 16 to the finals, about ten days is the climax of the national high school basketball game, in these ten days, even some people who do not pay special attention to basketball, or fans who only watch professional basketball on weekdays, will take time to care about the grand ceremony of the high school basketball competition.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, when the whole team went to Tianhe Gymnasium, the players in Lizhong felt that the pouring rain did not stop the enthusiasm of the fans, and the parking lot outside the gymnasium was already full of cars, and in the hall of the gymnasium, it was shuttled back and forth, in an endless stream, all of them were Guangzhou citizens who came to watch the game, most of them were students on summer vacation, and mainly boys, as well as girls who were dragged by boys to date, and parents who accompanied their children to watch the game.

NHBA's game does not have a strong star effect, of course, there are also some enthusiasts, holding the "NHBA National High School Basketball Billboard" published by an unknown publishing house, which is the information extracted by some pheasant reporters and editors from Internet forums, and the rankings compiled by themselves, among which there is even Lu Yuan, a kid, but the ranking is relatively low.

Therefore, when the Lizhong players got off the bus, a few student-like fans ran over and took a photo directly with Lu Yuan, which made Lu Yuan very surprised that he also had fans.

Of course, fans are not the only ones who enjoy Lu Yuan, there are more people looking for Bai Ye to take photos, and most of them are girls, which makes others very jealous. Even Wang Yourong came to take pictures with him, which made him embarrassed.

Later, under the leadership of the on-site security, the players entered the backcourt locker room from the passage, took a breather, changed their clothes, and prepared to warm up.

"It turns out that we still have fans, it's really unexpected. ”

"Of course, we are the top 16 in the country, do you know how many high schools there are in the country?"

"Are we going to be on TV today? I've already told my mom to let her watch me play on the TV at night. ”

"I want to be on TV, the last time I was on TV, I was on the Legal Channel, and there was a big case in our hometown......"

The players were already chatting in the dressing room, and no matter how nervous they were before the game, they would still be excited when they actually arrived on the pitch and there were less than two hours before the game started.

At this time, Lu Yuan calmed down, he sat in the corner of the dressing room, and seriously bandaged his feet, which was a habit he developed after going to the United States to protect his ankles.

After changing the jersey, the whole team went on the field to warm up, at this time the door of the stadium also opened, the audience began to pour into the stadium, on the edge of the field, there are reporters occupying seats, as well as staff to arrange the line, camera position, sound equipment, from the top 16 games, the live broadcast of the national competition is carried out according to the level of the professional league, for which the NHBA official has also invested a huge amount of money.

But the on-site attendance and ratings over the years proved that the investment was worth it.

This is the first time the players have encountered such a big scene, and now they are a little cautious even when they walk on the field, as if they are afraid of being captured by the camera.

At this time, the opposite stadium was still empty, it seemed that Lizhong was early, and slowly there were more and more people in the stadium, the cheerleaders came, Jia Yumeng and Qiang Wei were among them, they were selected by the competition committee.

Jia Yumeng secretly glanced at Lizhong, Lu Yuan was shooting to warm up, he looked very serious, Jia Yumeng wanted to go over to greet him, but when she saw his serious expression, she dispelled this idea - she always felt relatively strange to Lu Yuan like this.

At this time, there was a commotion at the other end of the court, and a team of players wearing white and blue striped sportswear ran into the stadium, it was the players from Wuhan Iron and Steel No. 13 Middle School, and they followed one by one, rushing in.

"These guys, even the running posture is quite poor. ”

Bai Ye turned his head to look at the players of Wuhan Iron and Steel who were swaggering as they ran, and couldn't help but think in his heart.

Although Wuhan Iron and Steel Thirteenth Middle School is notorious, if you want to say who is the least afraid in the Li squadron, then Bai Ye must have no doubt, on the basketball court, others have always been afraid of him, and he has never been afraid of anyone.

The players of Wuhan Iron and Steel No. 13 Middle School began to warm up on the field, the game was about to start, everything on the scene was ready, and the big drama of the top 16 began.

……………………

"Good afternoon, viewers before the live broadcast, this is Xunbo Sports Channel, and I'm Duan Ran. The live broadcast game brought to you today is the first game of the 20th NHBA National High School Basketball Tournament, the first game of the South Region of the National Competition Top 16, against Licheng Middle School from Licheng, Jiangsu Province and Wuhan Iron and Steel No. 13 Middle School from Wuhan, Hubei. It's a pleasure to watch tonight with you all in this game, and with ten minutes to go, let's take a brief look at the two teams. ”

On TV and online video, the live broadcast has begun, and the host of Xunbo Sports, Duan Ran, is introducing and analyzing the team before the game, and there are not many NHBA live broadcasts every year, plus there are always new teams rising, and the players are rotating one after another, it is not easy for the host to understand the information of the two sides in each game.

The host Duan Ran has been broadcasting the high school league live for several years, and after graduating from college, he worked as a host at Xunbo. He was also a member of the school basketball team in high school and played in national competitions, but that was ten years ago, and the high school basketball circle naturally changed dramatically in the past ten years, but he still pays close attention to the national high school basketball scene every year, and knows some popular teams well, at least he can tell the truth.

For the two teams participating in today's competition, Wuhan Iron and Steel No. 13 Middle School needless to say, it has been a well-known team in the country in recent years, and it is notorious, so it is natural to know it very well.

As for this Licheng Middle School, it suddenly rose this year, I had never heard of it on the national high school basketball stage in the early years, and played a few wonderful games in East China, and the first two games of the national competition showed amazing deep strength, and Duan Ran also made up the relevant information, don't be speechless in the game at that time.

"Licheng Middle School is a complete dark horse in the national competition this time, from the city competition all the way to the national competition, I don't know how long their dark horse nature can be maintained. You know, the national top 16 competition is also known as the 'dark horse graveyard', why, we know that there are dark horses in the national competition every year, China is so big, there are so many schools, this is normal. But most of these dark horses were eliminated in the 16-8 game, because the pressure was really high. ”

When he saw the starters take off their sportswear and appear one by one in the introduction of the DJ, he knew that the game was about to start, so he said: "Okay, this Licheng Middle School vs. Wuhan Iron and Steel 13th Middle School Top 16 match, about to start, for this wonderful game, we will wait and see, take a look at the starters of both sides." ”

The starters of both sides, Lizhong is still the same, and there is no change from before, and the starting of Wuhan Iron and Steel is the same as that introduced by Gao Jing yesterday, center Ni Xianzhi, big forward Hong Da, small forward Zhu Hongfei, scoring guard Shen Qingyuan, and point guard You Yong.

Wang Yourong and Ni Xianzhi stood in the middle circle, Ni Xianzhi took off his glasses, his eyes were slender and beautiful, but after taking off his glasses, Sven's anger was much less, but a little more yin.

Before the referee threw the ball, he stood in the middle circle with his waist crossed, staring at Wang Yourong directly, and Wang Yourong felt furious in his heart, so he had to dodge and not look at his eyes.

Ni Xianzhi smiled, the referee blew the whistle, signaling that everyone was in place, and the two of them bent their knees and jumped the ball.

The race is on.
