When it comes to the semi-finals, the municipal competition can really get into the main topic, because from the semi-finals, some of the high-profile matches will be broadcast live online.
All the teams that enter the semi-finals of prefecture-level cities are basically strong teams in various places, and the competition in some regions will be extremely fierce.
For example, in Shanghai, they have three places to participate in the East China competition, but there are many strong teams in Shanghai, so their semi-finals adopt a home-and-away double round-robin, and then compete for three or four places in the competition system to increase the intensity of the game and reduce unexpected factors.
Similarly, there is the Ma'anshan-Nanjing Division, while the strength of the Suxi Regular Division is relatively average, and it is in the middle and upper reaches of the East China Region, so a relatively mediocre single round-robin competition is adopted to gather the teams together for a short period of time.
However, the Suxichang Prefecture Tournament also has its distinctive characteristics, that is, the three round-robin matches will be played in three days on New Year's Day, so there will be an interval of more than a week between the quarterfinals and the semifinals, so that the players can rest well.
Even so, three games in three days is a huge test for any player in any team, whether it is physical strength or willpower.
Because small points are counted in a single round-robin tournament to determine a qualifying spot if all three teams have the same record, there is no garbage time in the Final Four, and every point will matter.
It is this kind of competition system and emergence rules that make the semi-finals in the Suzhou-Xichang region have the title of "Death Semifinals".
Gao Jing informed the players in detail about the situation two days before the New Year's Day holiday, because the day before the holiday, after school, everyone will go to Suzhou three times to start the final battle of the city competition.
Unlike the previous two games, this time it was not only the basketball team that went to the school's cheerleaders, but also the school cheerleaders, as well as the school's leaders, including the principal, the vice principal, and the dean of students.
Because of the large number of people, everyone will take the school bus from the highway directly to Suzhou, which makes the basketball team members who have taken the high-speed rail before feel the difference of the semi-finals.
The ride on the school bus is longer, but the advantage is that everyone can chat and talk casually on the bus, especially this time accompanied by the girls from the cheerleading team, and the boys from the basketball team are all excited.
The big guy sat in the back and talked and laughed, at first the boys and girls were more restrained, and then the boys took the initiative under the leadership of Zhang Fan and proposed to play werewolf killing, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Only Lu Yuan sat in his royal seat with a serious faceβthe front row sat with Gao Jing in the first row, and next door were the principal and vice principal.
Because he knew that Lu Yuan was a troublemaker, Gao Jing always asked Lu Yuan to sit at the front with him to prevent this guy from making any trouble.
However, Lu Yuan will always find something to do, and he paid attention to the vice principal beside the principal, this is the first time he knows that there is also a vice principal in Lizhong.
The vice principal's name is Pan Minghe, a very ordinary name, and his appearance looks very ordinary, belonging to the kind that can't be found when thrown into the pile, and will definitely be forgotten once and twice.
In daily school life, compared to the omnipotent and omnipotent principal, this vice principal has no sense of existence, if it weren't for the fact that he participated in the semifinals with the team this time, Lu Yuan didn't know that the school also had a vice principal.
Lu Yuan secretly glanced at the vice principal a few times, it was indeed very, very ordinary, he seemed to be a little motion sick, and the principal Zhu Yida on the side looked full of vitality, and the two formed a stark contrast.
Lu Yuan leaned into Gao Jing's ear and asked quietly, "Coach Gao, what does this vice principal usually do?" Why don't you see him so often? β
Gao Jing glanced at Lu Yuan, thinking that this kid was really a little trumpet, caring about this and that all day long, and said angrily: "You kid is really wide." Principal Pan is usually mainly responsible for administrative work, and student work is not under his control, so naturally you don't see him very often. β
Lu Yuan's gossip heart was temporarily satisfied, he looked back at what he was doing behind, others were having fun playing Werewolf Kill with their mobile phones, Lu Yuan wouldn't play this kind of high-IQ thing, so he had to continue to try to talk to Gao Jing about something.
"Teacher Gao, do you know a person named Qiao Xin?" Lu Yuan remembered the shooting machine master he met in Fengle Entertainment City a few days ago, and asked.
Gao Jing said: "Do you mean other high school players? β
Lu Yuan thought for a while and said, "It should be, I feel like he's on the basketball team." β
Gao Jing said: "I know one, it is from a high school in Hefei. β
Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, he just said that he is from Hefei, which middle school is he from?" β
Gao Jing said: "What, have you seen him again?" β
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Well, that's the day you went on a blind date." β
"Shhhh What nonsense! β
Gao Jing glared at Lu Yuan fiercely, and didn't allow Lu Yuan to talk nonsense anymore before he continued: "It doesn't make sense, if we are talking about the same person, then he shouldn't come to Licheng." β
"What's wrong with coming to Licheng, he said that he went to a friend's house to play, and there is also a high-speed rail from Hefei to Licheng." Lu Yuan was a little puzzled by Gao Jing's words. Although Hefei is in Anhui, it is only an hour and a half to take the high-speed train to Licheng, which is very convenient.
Gao Jing said: "Do you remember Yuanpei Middle School, they train national defense students?" β
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Remember, could it be that this Qiao Xin is also from the National Defense Student School?" β
Gao Jing said: "It's a bit similar, he is from Hefei Bayi Middle School, which is the only military high school in the country, with fully closed management, and he can't come out on Saturdays and Sundays." β
Only then did Lu Yuan know that there was still a military high school in China, so how could this Qiao Xin go to Fengle Entertainment City in Licheng to play basketball machines?
"Could it be... He defected? Lu Yuan said, he instantly thought that he might be involved in a huge national conspiracy.
Gao Jing gave him a roll of the eyes and said: "The military school also has family leave, not to mention that Bayi is only a militarized middle school, not a military school." β
"So, is this Qiao Xin powerful? I bumped into him that day and his shooting machine level really scared the hell out of me. Lu Yuan told Gao Jing about seeing Qiao Xin shoot 800 points on the shooting machine that day.
Gao Jing listened to Lu Yuan's narration, thoughtfully, she was not frightened by more than 800 points, the shooting machine is different from regular shooting, it can't be counted.
But if this person is Qiao Xin, then he does have this ability, Gao Jing knows many high school basketball masters in East China, and Qiao Xin is one of them.
If the team can really enter the East China competition, then it may be possible to meet Qiao Xin and his team, but it is really strange that he came to Licheng for Christmas.
Gao Jing didn't think much about it, Lu Yuan saw that Gao Jing didn't speak, and he didn't ask much, so he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, ready to watch the news and brush up on the circle of friends.
Lu Yuan himself has never posted on Moments, he doesn't like to upload his own things on the Internet, and high school students don't have anything to post.
But every once in a while, he will still brush other people's to see if there are any interesting things in other people's studies and lives, and use them to pass the time.
Lu Yuan doesn't have many friends in WeChat, he used to have only single digits, but when he went to high school and joined the basketball team, there were more people who added friends.
During this period of Christmas and New Year's Day, the circle of friends was very lively, and many people posted photos of Christmas with classmates, friends, and family members.
Lu Yuan flipped through it, feeling a little bored, and seeing the state of those families reuniting during the festival, his heart was a little empty.
Flipping down further, there is a circle of friends that has attracted Lu Yuan's attention, which is Zhang Yufa, a player from Mingguang Middle School.
After the warm-up match with Mingguang Middle School at the earliest, Lu Yuan added Zhang Yu's WeChat, but the two didn't talk much.
Zhang Yu sometimes posts some basketball-related articles, and Lu Yuan likes to read them, but this time he only posted a paragraph.
"Thank you Mingguang, I will continue to work hard in a new place."
What does that mean?
New place? Could it be that Zhang Yu also transferred to other places? Lu Yuan couldn't help but think of Fan Yize.
Lu Yuan wanted to send a message to Zhang Yu to ask, but the two of them didn't have anything to do with each other except for that warm-up game.
He wanted to ask Gao Jing again, at this time the car had arrived in Suzhou City, and the lights of Suzhou City outside the window were bright, Lu Yuan thought, let's pay more attention to tomorrow's game, tomorrow's first game, they will play against Benshi Middle School.
