Early the next morning.

The provincial league officially kicked off, and after the teams gathered together for the flag-raising ceremony, the director of the provincial sports bureau also made an impassioned speech under the national flag to build momentum for the opening of the provincial league.

After all this was over, the teams also came to their venues for the first round of the provincial league.

Qin Feng High School was also placed in the first group of teams.

In the locker room, Lin Qi had already changed into his No. 7 jersey, and Ji Shuai also clapped his hands and focused everyone's attention, "The opponent in the first game is Pinghai No. 1 Middle School, last year, they beat us 7:65, I hope this year, everyone can successfully cross them and win the game!" Pinghai No. 1 Middle School's three-point ability is an area that needs special attention, and if you want to win, you must find a way to block their three-point shots and cut off the connection between their inside and outside players."

Listening to Ji Shuai's words, Lin Qi was also deeply touched.

The most direct contrast between a team with three-point ability and a team without three-point ability is that if you score two three-pointers, you need to use three interior attacks to tie it.

When it comes to scoring efficiency, three-point teams are extremely terrifying.

At this point, Lin Qi, who has used the skill package of the three-point master to complete many reversals, can be said to have the most say.

"Okay, then I announce today's starting lineup: starting point guard Lin Qi, starting point guard Meng Xiaojun, starting power forward Sun Hao, starting small forward Wang Qichao, starting center Yu Liang"

After Ji Shuai finished talking about today's starting lineup, except for transferring Meng Xiaojun into the starting lineup, the other four people remained the same.

The only difference is that Lin Qi was transferred to the point guard position.

For this, Lin Qi is actually not surprised, he has two skill packages of dribbling experts and passing experts, he has already told Ji Shuai, plus three-point experts and mid-range shooting experts, it can be said that Lin Qi is not a big problem in the position of point guard.

Regarding the matter of super-dimensional fusion, Lin Qi had already asked Ji Shuai, but Ji Shuai had never heard of this situation, and his opinion was the same as Lin Qi's thoughts, wait and see the after-effects!

After that, Ji Shuai came to the venue of the city gymnasium with everyone.

At this time, the players of Pinghai No. 1 Middle School were already doing warm-up training on the field.

Lin Qi and the others also immediately began to practice dribbling and shooting on the court as an adaptation before the game.

After the game officially began, Lin Qi and the five stood in their respective positions.

Before jumping the ball, Lin Qi also carefully observed the opponent's five starters, except for the player in the center position, who was about the same height as Yu Liang, everyone else was slightly lower than Lin Qi.

This point has faintly given Lin Qi a psychological advantage since before the game.

It's just that Lin Qi and they don't dare to be careless, since Ji Shuai said that the other party's three-point ability is quite threatening, it must be something that needs to be paid attention to.

The jump ball can be said to be Yu Liang's strong point, and the first attack in the provincial league was launched by Qin Feng.

Lin Qi easily dribbled past half court and stopped one step from the three-point line.

The opponent in charge of defending Lin Qi was stunned for a moment, and then took the initiative to step forward to prepare for defense.

Lin Qi passed the ball directly to Meng Xiaojun at the moment when the opponent just arrived in front of him.

Meng Xiaojun used his breakthrough ability to test the opponent's defense, and after a successful cut, he used a back-to-back pass to avoid the blockage of the opponent's center forward and gave the ball to Sun Hao's hands.

Sun Hao made a shooting feint after receiving the ball, and the opponent's defense arrived immediately, and he couldn't help but praise the opponent's defensive conversion speed.

However, in the face of defense, Sun Hao still passed the ball back to the hands of point guard Lin Qi.

Lin Qi caught the ball, seized the moment when the opponent was distracted, took one step past his defender, and then after attracting the opponent's bag, he gave the ball to Wang Qichao, who was already waiting on his left side.

Wang Qichao made a decisive jump shot, and the ball entered the frame steadily!

This shot was the first shot of Qinfeng High School in the provincial league, assisted by Lin Qi.

The first attack was completed beautifully, and a satisfied smile appeared on everyone's faces.

After Wang Qichao and Lin Qi completed the high-five, they also immediately retreated.

After the opponent serves, he quickly advances to the front court.

The point guard of Pinghai No. 1 Middle School didn't even reach the three-point line before he threw a three-point shot.

This made Lin Qi not react for a while, "He is still one step away from the three-point line!" Isn't it too much of a rush."

Yu Liang saw that the opponent had made a shot, and immediately began to get in position, ready to grab the rebound.

However, the ball swooped into the basket.

Lin Qi's heart suddenly really admired it, whether it was strength or luck, shooting directly at such a distance was a sign of confidence in itself!

"Looks like I'm going to have to stretch the line beyond the three-point line"

Knowing that the other party has such an ability, Lin Qi's mental pressure is also a lot greater, this carelessness is not just as simple as letting the opponent break through, it is very likely to be a three-point goal!

Pinghai's point guard glanced at Lin Qi proudly after scoring the goal, as if he was fighting over what Lin Qi had just passed.

Lin Qi naturally did not show weakness, and in the next round, he found the right opportunity and sent an assist to Yu Liang.

4：3

When the opposing point guard appeared in front of Lin Qi with the ball again, Lin Qi, who had learned the lesson just now, directly extended his defensive line to the three-point line, lest the opponent do the three points just now.

However, there are risks associated with this.

Stretching the defensive line beyond the three-point line means that the distance between you and your teammates is also extended, if you are overtaken by the opponent, it is very likely that you will be beaten into a fast break or an open goal by the opponent without waiting for your teammates' help to defend in place!

Therefore, Lin Qi also paid attention to the twelve points, staring intently at the ball in the opponent's hand.

When he saw that the point guard of Pinghai No. 1 Middle School directly stopped dribbling and began to aim at the basket, Lin Qi's heart also began to wonder, "This distance is still far compared to just now, is it possible that you can shoot here?" ”

Although he couldn't believe it in his heart, Lin Qi still stuck to defend tightly...

When the opponent's point guard jumped, Lin Qi also hurriedly stretched out his right hand to prepare for the block.

Unexpectedly, the opponent's hands that were holding the ball high suddenly shrank down, and went around their waist to give the ball to their sub-hands.

The quantile who was also waiting outside the three-point line didn't give Meng Xiaojun a chance to react, and jumped directly outside the three-point line.

With a crisp sound, another three-point shot steadily entered the frame.

4：6

Pinghai No. 1 Middle School used two three-pointers to make up for the lost first offensive opportunity.

Two steady three-pointers in a row, like a demonstration, announced their fiery hand to Qin Feng.

Meng Xiaojun was also deceived by Pinghai's point guard just now, thinking that the opponent would shoot directly in three points, so he ignored his defensive opponent.

For this, his face was full of self-reproach.

But Lin Qi took the initiative to high-five Meng Xiaojun before receiving the serve, which can be regarded as encouraging each other.

As the point guard of this game, Lin Qi knows that his top priority is to connect the whole team.

Therefore, his dribbling is more about looking for opportunities to pass the ball for his teammates, rather than actively looking for offensive space himself.

……

On Qin Feng's side, Lin Qi sent wonderful assists one after another, and Pinghai No. 1 Middle School also continued to show their three-point firepower.

Although both sides have times when they don't score, but, in general, it is still Pinghai No. 1 who has a better advantage in three points.

Fortunately, Yu Liang's rebounding ability is extremely strong, and he has completed the feat of snatching rebounds from the opponent's head one after another, and won many secondary offenses for Qin Feng, so that Qin Feng only trailed by three points 7:2 at the end of the first quarter of the game.

Off the court, Ji Shuai made a special deployment for Pinghai's three-point ability, and Lin Qi and they all listened very carefully.

"In the next quarter of the game, Wang Qichao, Yu Likeng, you two will rest, Lin Qi, Sun Hao, you two will continue to stay on the field and drive the substitute players" Ji Shuai said to everyone.

After seeing everyone nodding, Ji Shuai looked at Sun Hao again and said, "Sun Hao, next, you play the center position, be sure to ensure rebounding"

"Yes"

Receiving Ji Shuai's instructions to him, Sun Hao hurriedly nodded seriously.

Lin Qi shook his wrist and walked to the court with everyone to prepare for the second quarter of the game.

In this section of the game, Ji Shuai's instructions to himself were very simple, don't attack, only defend!

"With the experience of the first quarter, I think, according to what Ji Shuai said, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to find the opponent's passing route and destroy it as much as possible in the second quarter."

Lin Qi's mind recalled the several opponent's passing routes that Ji Shuai had just described to him, and was ready to try.

Wang Qichao and Yu Liang, who were resting off the court, except for Yu Liang who spent a lot of physical strength to grab rebounds, Wang Qichao basically didn't take a breath.

As for the reason why Ji Shuai put him off the court to rest, Wang Qichao couldn't be clearer, "The third quarter is my show!" ”

Looking at the field, Wang Qichao was cheering for his teammates while thinking to himself.

The venue for the provincial league is the city gymnasium, so there are many people watching the game.

However, due to the timing of the game, it is not possible to have all supporters from their respective schools to watch the provincial leagues, but more basketball enthusiasts and some media.

Of course, there is also the possibility that there will be scouts to come and investigate!

Because of this, they watch the game more rationally than for which team to support.

This is also a unique attraction of the provincial league, if you play well, maybe one day you will be discovered, so to speak, this is a huge glowing board, your ability on the field, performance, will be constantly amplified!

Lin Qi and the others also know this very well.

"Every next game may affect my basketball dream, so I must play every round well."

Lin Qi thought of Mo Yuqing's figure, and the belief in his heart began to become more firm!
