Chapter 384: A Joyless Victory
Guiyang Experiment No. 1 Middle School was dying step by step, and it was not until the tenth minute of the second half that the second player from Guiyang Experiment No. 1 Middle School scored in the second half - Sanjay caused Chen Cai's foul in the process of grabbing the frontcourt rebound and got two free throw opportunities.
In addition, they can only rely on Chen Kangwen alone, using his personal ability to help the team struggle.
Lizhong's side is getting better and better, the offense is getting more and more open, Bai Ye alone completely drove Lizhong's offense, from the three-point line to the three-second zone, more points bloomed, and almost everyone on the court scored points.
The point difference changed from 9 points to 15 points, and then from 15 points to 20 points, suppressing the Lizhong attack in the entire first half, and rushing out like a torrent in the second half, Guiyang No. 1 Middle School could no longer be stopped.
Hu Bing used up his last timeout, but he had no cards left in his hand. When Fan Yize was there last year, Hu Bing felt that he still had a lot of cards in his hand, Ji Ping hit 7 three-pointers in key games, Shao Bing scored a key killer goal, Lu Pengda scored 20 points in a single game, and there were people on the bench who could stand up when needed.
But when he left, the magical power of everyone last year disappeared, revealing their original colors - Ji Ping was too slow to get rid of the defense of No. 18, Shao Bing was not confrontational, there was no threat with the ball, Lu Pengda was too slow, except for the mid-range jumper, in the absence of offensive rebounds, there was almost no interior offense.
Even if the last four tall men grabbed the frontcourt rebounds, it was ineffective, and the forwards on the opposite side who looked thin were really good at grabbing rebounds, always standing in the right position, putting the ball in their arms, and grabbing no less than 10 backcourt rebounds in the second half.
Before the start of the national competition, Hu Bing made full preparations, as an adult, Hu Bing understood Fan Yize's choice in his heart, but as a basketball person, it is impossible to say that there is no mustard in his heart.
Last night in the restaurant of the hotel, Guiyang Experimental No. 1 Middle School provoked the Guangshi High School, although it was not instigated by Hu Bing, but later he did not blame the players.
He also held his breath in his heart, and he wanted to take this group of children to make a name for himself in the national competition.
Guizhou is an underdeveloped sports region, and it is rare to see the Guizhou team in various sports competitions across the country, and some Guizhou-born athletes are planned to play in other sports teams.
In fact, in that rugged mountain forest, there are many excellent sports seedlings, who have outstanding physical fitness, tenacity of willpower, and no distractions, which are good athlete materials. But Guizhou is too poor, and sports, if they can get out of the mountains, it will be difficult to come back.
Hu Bing is not from Guiyang, but the group of children under his command are excellent players from all over Guizhou, their emotions for basketball are simple and warm, Hu Bing feels that without Fan Yize, they can go further.
It's a pity that on the basketball court, after all, strength speaks, and talent speaks.
When the difference between the two sides was too big to catch up, Hu Bing no longer sweated on his head and no longer wandered anxiously on the sidelines, he sat back on the bench and watched the players continue to fight on the field.
The players in Guiyang Experimental No. 1 did not give up, Chen Kangwen is still trying to save the team by his own attack, his physical strength seems to be inexhaustible, he went to school in the mountains when he was a child, and he had to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads every day, which made him have good physical fitness.
But his offensive efficiency is gradually declining, especially later, Lizhong's side changed the defensive alignment, allowing Chen Cai to concentrate on dealing with Chen Kangwen, Chen Kangwen's hit rate further declined, and he could no longer compete with Bai Ye.
On the other side, Bai Ye burst out with huge energy, like all the spectators at the scene showed his superb and comprehensive offensive skills, skilled left and right hands, solid and changeable footwork, and unstoppable straight-arm jumper, he scored 25 points in the second half, and scored the highest score in the game without scoring in the first half.
In addition, he also contributed 6 assists to completely revitalize the team's attack.
Guiyang Experiment No. 1 Middle School persevered to the end, Chen Kangwen threw his last shot of the tournament, the ball smashed on the front of the basket and bounced out, he had exhausted his strength, and he could no longer score.
The buzzer on the sidelines sounded, and the game was over, and Lizhong defeated the last semi-final team Guiyang Experimental No. 1 Middle School with a huge advantage of 80:58 and 22 points in the second round of the national competition, and successfully entered the top eight in the southern region and the top 16 in the country.
This victory, which was achieved without the presence of the head coach, is even more commendable.
Guiyang Experiment No. 1 Middle School played a good half of the game, but was crushed by the opponent's talent in the second half, and the miracle from the barren land of basketball ended, but it did not end.
Hu Bing took his players to the court to shake hands with the opponent and bow to each other, because there was no head coach on Lizhong's side, so Hu Bing chose to shake hands with Bai Ye.
This big man, who was born in Shanxi and studied in Sichuan, but in the end, despite the opposition of his family, went to Guiyang to be a basketball coach, and his eyes were red after losing the game.
He is also 190 tall, he is an out-and-out strong man, he held Bai Ye's hand tightly, and said in the most sincere voice: "Thank you, thank you." ”
Bai Ye saw the tears in his eyes, he didn't understand why this coach was saying thank you, but he could feel his deep and strong emotions, which were transmitted powerfully from his wide and thick hands.
The same was true of the players in Guiyang Experimental No. 1, who shed tears, and some of them even cried loudly.
It's not for nothing that high school students lose games, and it's not for nothing to cry sadly, after all, they are all children, but for some players who have played games and watched too much, winning or losing is a common thing.
Like Bai Ye, no matter how painful his heart is, he will swallow tears in his stomach, and he will never cry out.
But seeing the opponent crying so sadly, Bai Ye understood that this was a group of people who were different from himself, and they had different ways of loving basketball and expressing their emotions in different ways, which could be seen from the style of the game.
The only person who didn't cry was Chen Kangwen, he clenched his teeth, pursed his mouth, and stood there stubbornly, he didn't even step forward to shake hands with Bai Ye, the biggest opponent of the game, just waited for everything to be over, then clenched his fists and left the court and went to the locker room.
There's no doubt that this is a group of love-hate, emotionally straightforward lads, and maybe they'll never get the chance to stand on the highest stage of high school basketball again, and they were so close last year. But their love for basketball will not be derogatory in the slightest.
Hu Bing left the stadium with the players, and he had secretly made up his mind that they would make a comeback next year, next year!
……………………
For Lizhong, it was another precious victory, and they went one step ahead.
But back in the dressing room, everyone didn't celebrate, and everyone seemed to be in a habitual calm compared to the ecstasy they felt after winning the first game.
Everyone was in high spirits, talking and laughing, but there was no excitement of winning the battle of life and death, just pure happiness.
Chen Jieru was the first to notice this, and after following everyone back to the locker room, she asked everyone: "Why don't you celebrate and celebrate?
Hearing what the team doctor said, everyone looked at each other and didn't speak, but Wang Yourong said cautiously: "I see them shedding tears, and I feel strange and uncomfortable in my heart......"
Zhang Fan said: "Sympathy for the enemy is cruelty to oneself. ”
"The enemies are dead, and it doesn't matter if you sympathize. ”
"There are a lot of enemies in the back. ”
"It's not much, the top sixteen, the southern district should be the top eight, there are seven enemies. ”
Because of Wang Yourong's words, everyone chattered apart, but Chen Jieru's question was ignored by everyone, and there was no celebration or even high-fives and hugs to each other.
After changing clothes, everyone left the locker room, but they didn't expect to be outside the locker room, in the passage, there were a lot of media, they carried long guns and short guns to interview the players in Lizhong.
Now everyone panicked, Lizhong had also encountered media interviews before, Gao Jing was there at that time, she could handle it, but there is no coach today, where will the students deal with the media.
Especially Bai Ye, as the core of the team's reversal in the second half, he became famous in this game, and his name was absolutely indispensable in the post-game briefing.
In the face of the swarming interviewers, Chen Jieru stood up, she asked Bai Ye to answer a few questions, and then blocked most of the messy interviewers, and then left the stadium smoothly under the leadership of the stadium guards.
However, Chen Jieru knows that such protection is temporary, because every game will be televised from the next national 16-8 match, when real TV sports media reporters will have to interview the young players before and after the game.
Therefore, the top 16 is a hurdle, once a team enters the top 16, it means that they have entered the field of vision of the national audience.
The children in Lizhong did not look ready.
