In Shanghai a week after the New Year, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival has disappeared, and the city, which was somewhat empty during the Chinese New Year, will soon be crowded with the work after the New Year. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

People from all over the country reunite in this huge port city to start the cycle of the new year.

Bai Ye arrived at Pudong International Airport by plane alone, and tomorrow will be the opening match of the East China Competition, where 32 teams from three provinces and one city will fight for the places in the eight national competitions in East China.

The 32 teams will be divided into eight groups and play a single round-robin tournament within the group, with the team that wins the group advancing to the quarterfinals, followed by a knockout round, and the top four teams will advance directly to the national competition.

The second place team in each group will enter the lower bracket knockout round, and the four teams that win will compete with the four teams that lost in the quarterfinals, and the four teams that finally win will qualify for the national tournament together with the top four teams.

This relatively complex competition rules ensure that all teams can get full opportunities to compete for qualification for the national competition, and it is also the winter vacation period, so the East China competition is much more exciting than the municipal competition, and it attracts more attention.

As soon as Bai Ye got off the plane and came out of the VIP passage, he could see the promotional poster of this year's NHBA East China Contest posted on the wall of the passage.

The poster is very beautifully made, quite in the style of an NBA poster, and the three players on the poster look very eye-catching, and they look like high school students.

Generally speaking, NHBA posters will use photos of student players as negatives, but they are usually taken during a game, or a makeup photo of a star player, and it is rare to see three players standing together.

Bai Ye glanced at the three people and felt that they looked quite alike, but he didn't pay much attention to them, hurried to the parking lot, got into the special car he called before, and went to the hotel where Licheng Middle School was staying.

This time in the East China competition, Lizhong was assigned to the Fudan University gymnasium for the competition, so they stayed at the Xiangshuyuan Hotel near Fudan University.

When Bai Ye arrived at the hotel with a towbox, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw Lu Yuan standing in the middle of the hall, looking up at the ceiling at 45 degrees.

"What is this idiot doing here......

Originally, he thought that he hadn't seen Lu Yuan for more than two weeks and was going to see him soon, but Bai Ye was still a little excited in his heart.

But as soon as Lu Yuan stood in the hall and looked up at the ceiling, he knew that this idiot must have done something frustrating, and he almost wanted to pretend to be a stranger passing by him.

As a result, Lu Yuan had already noticed Bai Ye, and as soon as he saw Bai Ye enter the door, he excitedly rushed up to give a bear hug, but Bai Ye ruthlessly refused, and then asked, "What are you doing standing here?"

"Ah, I just accidentally flew my key card to the chandelier and was waiting for the staff to pick it up. I was just close to it. ”

Bai Ye didn't want to ask why Lu Yuan flew his room card to the chandelier, for fear that his IQ would be insulted. I had to register my ID card information at the front desk, and then tragically found that he and Lu Yuan lived in the same room, and the room card was on the light, and now he couldn't get in.

"Yezi, you seem to have lost weight?" Lu Yuan looked at Bai Ye's face, feeling that after two weeks of not seeing him, Bai Ye actually looked a lot thinner.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone is more or less fat, why is Baiye thin?

Bai Ye said: "Because I have trained hard." Bai Ye's tone was very flat, but only he knew what the two words desperate meant.

Just the day before he came to Shanghai, he was still practicing in the training center until he was about to vomit, and his sister accompanied him throughout the training, almost not giving himself the slightest room to relax.

However, two weeks of continuous high-intensity training have been effective, and Bai Ye feels that his condition is better than ever.

"I also trained so hard that I broke my leg. Lu Yuan bragged that although he did train hard, his broken leg had nothing to do with his hard work.

Bai Ye saw through it at a glance and said, "It's normal for you to break your leg, you don't have to work hard." ”

After waiting for a while, the hotel staff still didn't come, Bai Ye was a little anxious, Lu Yuan saw this and jumped towards the chandelier again, but he was still almost able to get the room card.

At this time, a person who came down from the elevator happened to see Lu Yuan jumping hard, obviously a little surprised, and stepped forward to ask Lu Yuan what was going on.

Lu Yuan pointed to the chandelier and said that his room card flew to it. Then look at this person, he is quite tall, has a round face, and what is even more impressive is that he has a one-on-one eyebrows!

Yizimei listened, looked at the room card on the chandelier, nodded, took off his coat, moved his knees, took a few steps back, and then jumped violently.

His arm was so long that he gently clicked on the room card and pulled it off the chandelier.

This should be the first time that Lu Yuan has lost to others in touching height, although the other party is nearly a head taller than him.

Lu Yuan picked up the room card, said thank you to this person, nodded and said you're welcome, and left the hotel.

Bai Ye looked at this one-word eyebrow and felt very familiar, as if it was the player he saw on the poster at the airport, among the three people, he was standing in the middle, and his one-word eyebrow was impressive.

After getting the room card, Bai Ye and Lu Yuan went back to the room together, and after cleaning up, Gao Jing learned that Bai Ye was back, the team was neat, and he was going to take everyone to Fudan University at three o'clock in the afternoon to familiarize himself with the venue.

Bai Ye came back from Beijing and brought a lot of local snacks in Beijing to share with everyone, which made everyone feel very surprised, I didn't expect Bai Ye to bring things to everyone.

"Lu Yuan, you see that Ye Zi has brought something for everyone, why don't you bring something for everyone, you know that you want a red envelope. Zhang Fan ate the preserved fruit brought by Bai Ye and said to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was gnawing on the twist flowers brought by Bai Ye, and said, "Why didn't I bring anything to everyone, I am about to bring victory to everyone!"

"Shameless!"

"Victory is not something you bring, everyone earns for it. ”

"I haven't seen you for a few days, Lu Yuan, you have learned to brag. ”

"Let's just practice my mouth. ”

Lu Yuan was unanimously despised by all his teammates, but Lu Yuan was peaceful, gnawing the twist flowers, and the sesame seeds on it were not missed.

Gao Jing said at this time: "Okay, don't be poor, let's go to the stadium together to get used to the venue later, before that, I want to introduce the grouping situation to you." ”

With that, everyone stopped talking, and the grouping is very important for any team, eight groups, eight qualifying places. Every year in the group stage of the East China Competition, there will be a group of death, because there are many strong teams in East China.

As the first team to enter the East China competition, Lizhong cannot be a seeded team, and the rating will not be high, and the possibility of being placed in a relatively strong group is very high.

Gao Jing took out a competition manual and said, "In this East China competition, we were divided into the eighth group, the last group. ”

"The eighth group is good!" Lu Yuan felt very excited when he heard eight.

Gao Jing ignored Lu Yuan, and continued: "The seed team in this group is Shanghai Xuhui District Model High School, and the other two teams are Nanjing No. 9 Middle School and Linhai Huifu High School. ”

"Coach Gao, are you kidding?"

"I'm not kidding, that's how the draw turned out. ”

The expression on Gao Jing's face was extremely determined, and it was impossible for her to make such a joke with the players, and then the whole team would be fried.

"What kind of grouping is this? How can there be such a group! Three national champions in one group! Add one of us! This average score can't be pulled down!"

"That's right! I've already won a national championship in the municipal competition, why are you still here!"

"It's over, it's over, how can this Nima fight. ”

"Forget it, less loss is better than win. ”

But anyone who knows the history of the NHBA will know the weight of these three teams, there have been a total of four national championships in the history of East China, and these three plus the previous Changshu sports workers are the team Hall of Fame in East China.

In a competition, he met four national champions, and Lizhong's luck this year was really bursting.

When everyone calmed down, Wu Peng said, "Coach Gao, why are these three teams divided into a group?"

Gao Jing said: "Why can't you be divided into a group, everyone stipulates that the national champion can't be assigned to a group." Seeding teams are based on both historical and current results, and any team that does not win the municipal championship will not be eligible to be seeded. This year, No. 9 Middle School and Linhai Middle School did not win the championship of the municipal competition, so they couldn't become a seeded team, so it was not normal for us to be in a group. ”

It has been a long time since No. 9 Middle School lost its dominance in Nanjing, and what people didn't expect was that the strongest Huifu High School in Zhejiang also failed in the municipal competition and did not win the championship, which is really surprising.

As a result, the hapless Lizhong and the three national champions were placed in a group that became a veritable group of death.

Gao Jing said this, everyone had to accept this fact, anyway, they had survived the face of Changshu physical workers, and they would survive the same game three more times.

Gao Jing saw Lu Yuan frowning tightly, his expression was solemn, and he thought to himself that this kid finally knew that he was worried, and through the battle of Changshu Physical Worker, he probably knew what level the former national champion was.

"Okay, everyone get ready, let's go to the gymnasium, get familiar with the venue, tomorrow afternoon is our first game, against Jiuzhong!" Gao Jing shouted, she knew that no matter how strong the opponent was, they had to face it, because Lizhong's strength was no longer Wuxia Ameng.

"Lu Yuan, what do you want, don't leave quickly. Gao Jingjian was still frowning and dazed.

Lu Yuan said: "Teacher, I have a stomachache, I may have eaten too much at noon, and I want to go back to the room." ”

"Immediately, immediately, go back. ”
