Chapter 360: The Opening Battle
Half of July, Monday, at half past nine in the morning, at the basketball hall of Guangzhou Tianhe Sports Center, the southern region of the NHBA national competition officially opened.
As a city with a developed basketball culture, the opening ceremony was unusually grand and enthusiastic, with more than 10,000 spectators present, most of them high school and college students on summer vacation.
The opening ceremony and opening match will be broadcast live on television, and the sidelines will be crowded with reporters, cameras, cameras, and police officers on and off the stadium to maintain order.
The 28 teams lined up on the court, and after the cheerleaders performed, sang the national anthem and took the oath, it was the most important ceremony to hand over the flag, and the champion of the southern zone of the last national competition will return the championship flag to the competition committee.
Walking on the stage was a tall and thin boy, about 2.10 meters tall, with short hair, wearing a green and white trimmed sportswear, holding a golden champion flag on the rostrum, and handing over the championship flag to the competition committee.
Then, the rostrum announced that this competition is officially opened!
There will be six matches on the first day, the opening match in the morning, half past ten, Tianhe Gymnasium, against both sides, Group 1, and the affiliated to Nanjing Sports University against Chengdu Yulin Middle School.
This is a group of strong dialogue, although both teams are not seeded teams, but the affiliated to the Southern Sports University is the runner-up in East China, the champion of the first two years, and Yulin Middle School has always been a strong team in the southwest region, last year the two teams met in the South Division 16 into 8 games, the affiliated to the Southern Sports University defeated the opponent with difficulty at that time, and entered the next round.
They met early this year, and it was destined to be a very fierce confrontation.
There was no game on the first day, so the whole team was able to take a place in the stands and watch the opening game with peace of mind.
The affiliated of Southern Sports University can be regarded as an old friend of Lizhong, and it is the first real strong team they have encountered, although it is only the second team, but that game has given the players in Lizhong a lot of confidence. The road to a strong team in Lizhong can be said to have started from this game.
However, the days of this season affiliated to Southern Sports University are not very good, since the second team lost to Lizhong, the first team won Xi'an High-tech, they successfully entered the East China competition, but missed in the finals of the competition, lost the opportunity to win three consecutive championships in East China. The negative effect of this is that their grouping situation is very bad.
They were grouped with defending champions Dunman Secondary School, who fell at the feet of Dunman Secondary School last year and missed out on the Southern Region final again.
In addition to Deming Middle School, there are also Yulin Middle School and Jingdezhen Qunxing High School in the same group, which are not easy to deal with.
Now, they will play Yulin Middle School in their first game, and the schedule is destined to be difficult from the beginning.
The two sides were warming up on the field, and the players in Lizhong were sitting in a good position to watch the game, and after Lu Yuan sat down, he began to look around.
He sat next to Gao Jing, arranged in the leftmost position, and there was an empty seat next to him, Lu Yuan looked left and right, and thought, if no one sits in this position, it is better to let Lin Sifan sit over.
Just now she sent a message to her, saying that she arrived in Guangzhou in the morning, and now she has entered the gymnasium, and she doesn't know where she is sitting.
Today is her brother Lin Xin's game, and she will definitely come over to watch it.
Lu Yuan was about to send a message to Lin Sifan, but an old man sat on his left side, and Lu Yuan saw that it was Professor Liang Boyu!
"Eh! Beam... Professor Liang Shanbo?"
Lu Yuanliang was for a long time, forgot Lao Liang's name, and came out with a Liang Shan.
"It's Liang Boyu. Professor Liang seemed to have been prepared for this, and replied in a flat tone.
Lu Yuan turned his head to Gao Jing and said, "Teacher Gao, Professor Liang is here." ”
Gao Jing replied: "He has been here a long time ago, just went to the toilet just now, don't call your name in the future." ”
Lu Yuan sighed, then thought of something, and said: "Professor Liang, you just went to the toilet, won't you go to ...... the two teams again?"
"Download the software!" Liang Boyu hurriedly interrupted Lu Yuan's words, "There is an ifi over there in the toilet, I'll download the software, the software that specializes in live broadcasting the game." ”
Gao Jing glanced at the two of them and felt that these two guys were weird. Liang Boyu approached Lu Yuan at this time and whispered: "Hey, you kid is not finished, and you are still blocking me with that matter?"
Needless to say, Liang Boyu just sneaked to the toilet to bet on the two teams, and he was afraid that Gao Jing would see it when he suddenly came, so he secretly ran to the toilet.
Lu Yuan pinched his nose and said softly: "Who asked you to occupy my place, I still want to leave it to my friend." ”
"You're a girl again, aren't you? You're young, you're not small!"
"Don't worry about it, I want to eat shrimp dumplings at night. ”
"Let you Coach Gao please go!"
The two were muttering and bargaining here, and Gao Jing couldn't help but say, "You two are not finished, the game is about to start!"
They didn't speak, looking at the court under the stands, the center forwards of both sides were already standing in the middle circle and preparing to jump the ball, Lu Yuan saw Wang Qing, the center forward affiliated to Southern Sports University, compared with half a year ago, he was stronger, and it could be seen from his arms that he was not training.
As the referee tosses the ball into the air, the center scrambles for the ball and the game begins.
The affiliated of Southern Sports University wore a white sky blue jersey, and Yulin High School wore a black jersey, and both sides played cautiously at the beginning.
Lin Xin looked in good shape, and after several times of passing the ball and unable to tear apart the opponent's defense, he chose to hold the ball to break through the opponent, and then under the cover of Wang Qing, he hit a small throw under the basket.
Yulin Middle School immediately responded in the attack, they hit the ball inside, No. 10 center Chen Dejiang beat Wang Qing, and a master jumper who turned inside hit it.
The two sides played very "conservatively" at the beginning, which is reflected in the fact that one mainly attacks on the inside line, and does not easily shoot on the outside, and the other is that the rhythm is slow, the ball is transmitted, and there is not much patience and counterattack.
The style of these two teams is exactly like this, they both belong to the more traditional teams, and they play with a single board and a glance, and the scene is not too good-looking.
However, as the game gradually deepened, the two sides began to fight wits and courage on the field, and the coach of Yulin Middle School was called Zheng Qifeng, an old man with white hair, who has led Yulin Middle School for many years and has always maintained a strong competitiveness.
In terms of player quality, Yulin Middle School is limited by financial resources and enrollment scope, and is slightly worse than players in South China and East China, but he has always been well-adjusted, and he can often let players with mediocre talent and not favored by other schools play a role under him.
In the sixth minute of the first half, Yulin Middle School drew with the affiliated of Southern Sports University at 10:10, and both sides were in good offensive and defensive state.
Zheng Qifeng suddenly called a short timeout, replaced their center, and replaced a slightly chubby inside line who was less than 2 meters tall, and the height on the court of Yulin Middle School dropped, and there was no doubt that they had to play speed.
In contrast, Yu Zhanbo, the coach affiliated to Southern Sports University, did not make adjustments, but responded to all changes with the same and continued to retain the lineup on the field.
Seeing this, Liang Boyu shook his head and said: "Zhan Bo is still a little conservative, the last time he went to Beijing, he went to the wrong place, he lost his confidence, and the substitute was not well cultivated. ”
When Liang Boyu was still mentioning the winter vacation, the affiliated company of Southern Sports University went to Beijing to train and prepare for the East China competition. That time I had a fight with the High School Affiliated to Huaqing University, but the opponent didn't go all out, so he crackled and beat the affiliated High School of Southern Sports University, leaving a lot of psychological shadows on the players and coaches.
originally wanted to go to training to boost his morale, but he slipped back to Jiangsu until he finally lost to Bayi in the final. This series of events is a big blow to the affiliated students of the Southern Sports University and Yu Zhanbo.
Later, in the challenge competition of the second semester, the affiliated students of Southern Sports University lost the king ring competition in Nanjing, and that time they lost to Bayi Middle School, and lost to the same opponent in two major competitions in a row, which was still quite a blow.
So in the first round of the national competition, it can be seen that Yu Zhanbo's use of troops is a little conservative.
After the pause returned to the field, the style of Yulin Middle School changed abruptly, and the fat man who came on the bench changed the offensive style of Yulin Middle School, they began to play fast, played the outside line, and the low position of the inside line completely gave up, and the high position in the middle was conducted, and the two wings were pulled apart, and the defense attached to the Southern Sports University was stretched out at once.
The attachment of the Southern Sports University is still the same old, Lin Xin and Lei Zhen started from blocking and dismantling, and the slow-paced positional attack was against the fast-paced outside assault.
After four or five rounds, Yulin Middle School began to gradually gain the upper hand, and the defensive end lacked a big center, and the impact was not very great, because Wang Qing's offense was not worth mentioning;
And the most headache for the affiliated of Southern Sports University is a small forward wearing a No. 12 jersey and combing the ditch head, his personal ability is very strong, and it is difficult for Zhang Xulin to prevent him.
Lu Yuan looked at this No. 12 from the sidelines, and thought, how can players who play strikers like to comb this hairstyle? From No. 12, to Liu Miao of Changshu Physical Worker, and Yang Jianzhou of Benshi Middle School, they are all such tall and thin forwards.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan looked at Bai Ye sitting on the other side, and imagined the appearance of Bai Ye combing the ditch, it must be very funny.
At this time, Lu Yuan's mobile phone rang suddenly, and he received a message, Lu Yuan saw that it was actually sent by Lin Sifan, and said: Lu Yuan, you come to the hall of the gymnasium.
Lu Yuan immediately replied: Wait a minute, I'll come right away.
So, Lu Yuan said that he wanted to go to the toilet, so he slipped out of the stands.
