Chapter 33: First Encounter with the Top Four (Part I)

The Qinfeng school team, which has won two group stage victories in a row, although everyone's pressure is a lot lighter, but on this night, everyone who stayed in the room had an indescribable nervousness on their faces...

"Tomorrow I will play against Rongmei High School, one of the top eight"

"yes, I don't know if we'll be able to win"

"Don't say that, we've all entered the national league, how can we not win!"

"That's it, just like Lin Qi said, isn't it just to win?"

"That's what I said, but I always have this hurdle in my heart, and I don't know how to cross it."

……

Everyone used the chat to explain the entanglement in their hearts, and Lin Qi and Wang Qichao sat on the side and listened quietly.

If he wants to say that he is not nervous, it must be false, he has won two games in a row, and everyone wants to continue this momentum, but in the face of the team in the top eight of the country last year, Lin Qi's heart is also bottomless.

Although Wang Qichao doesn't have to play, but the tension in his heart is not less than Lin Qi's, this time he came to this arena, it is already a big pity that he can't play, and now in the face of strong opponents, Wang Qichao knows that if he can play, it will definitely relieve the pressure of the team to a large extent, but...

Every time he thought of this, Wang Qichao sighed.

As the former and current captains of this school team, Wang Qichao and Lin Qi didn't know how to drive everyone's emotions all of a sudden.

Needless to say, the truth is already very clear, but what about the reality?

"I can only wait until tomorrow's game to watch it, even if I directly use the super-dimensional physical fitness, I have to win the game as much as possible and bring confidence to everyone" Lin Qi thought silently in his heart.

For him, the team's record is far better than his own, although the continuous use of super-dimensional physical fitness will make his super-dimensional level continue to increase, but the current Lin Qi obviously can't care about so much.

On the contrary, Sun Hao and Yu Liang are much calmer than others.

While everyone was discussing their opponents, the two of them were exchanging their experiences from the two games with each other on the side, so as to better match them on the inside.

……

The match with Rongmei High School was scheduled for nine o'clock in the morning, so after Lin Qi and the others got up and had breakfast, they did not go to training, but went directly to the court to prepare for the game.

Lin Qi, who was standing on the court, looked at the No. 7 jersey printed upside down on the floor, as if reminding him of the wish he had made.

"You must carry forward the seventh!" Lin Qi couldn't help but clench his fists.

During the National League, every time Lin Qi had a difficult time in his heart, he would remember the sentence that Mo Yuqing said to himself before boarding the plane and leaving, "National League, come on!"

……

When the game officially began, Yu Leon walked near the halfway line and stood face to face with the opponent's center forward, until the referee stepped forward to prepare for the kick-off, they crouched down half of their bodies and prepared for the first meeting of the game.

With a whew, the ball in the referee's hand flew upward.

"The ball is mine" Yu Lion jumped hard, staring at the ball above him, while shouting loudly.

The opponent's center also did not show weakness, and he touched the ball at the same time and Yu Liang.

The battle between the two in the air took place between lightning and flint, and in the end, Yu Liang still relied on the strength of his right arm to occupy the upper reaches in the confrontation between the two and put the ball in Zhao Jianming's hands.

After receiving the ball, Zhao Jianming was unhurried with the ball, and only after his teammates were all in position did he dribble the ball to the top of the three-point line.

The opponent's point guard looked at Zhao Jianming calmly.

In the national league, they never take any opponent lightly, which is why they were able to reach the quarterfinals, the devil is in the details!

In the face of the defense of the opposing point guard, Zhao Jianming's dribbling is obviously not particularly comfortable, and whenever he tries to dribble in one direction, he always feels that the opponent's hand is waiting for him not far away.

After constantly making passing feints, Zhao Jianming narrowly gave the ball to Lin Qi, who came to pick him up.

Zhao Jianming is trying to use the running position to pull away the point guard who defends him and make room for Lin Qi to attack.

But he didn't want the other party to seem to have seen through his thoughts, so he didn't care about Zhao Jianming at all, and directly stopped between Zhao Jianming and Lin Qi, raising his hands high to prevent Lin Qi from passing the ball from above.

Coupled with the division that had been staring at Lin Qi for a long time, Lin Qi suddenly fell into a situation where the two of them were sandwiched.

In this case, Lin Qi can't tolerate the slightest hesitation, as long as Lin Qi pauses for a long time, it will be difficult to find a chance to get out, and in the face of the two, it is even more difficult for Lin Qi to pass the ball.

Therefore, the moment the two of the opposing parties tried to wrap themselves, Lin Qi directly completed the change of hands from behind, and then took a big step with his right foot, using the position that came to make up for his own defense, blocking the opponent's point guard.

Immediately, under Sun Hao's block, Lin Qi took a step forward and jumped out directly.

The ball smashed into the basket and fell into it, and Qin Feng scored the first goal of the game.

2:

After a simple fist celebration, Lin Qi immediately ran back to the backcourt with his teammates to prepare for defense.

Rong Mei High School, which was scored this goal, arranged the field in an orderly manner after sending the ball.

The ball handler who constantly uses his hands to guide his teammates to run is obviously a military figure on the opponent's field, and under his few gestures, his teammates seem to hear what he said in person, opening up space, blocking and dismantling, and stuck...

After a series of operations, under the cover of his feints, he had already given the ball to his team's small forward before Zhao Jianming could react.

Since Wang Qichao's injury, Meng Xiaojun has become the starting small forward of Qinfeng's varsity team.

And he trains hard and tries to be a vital part of the team.

At the moment, he was not afraid to stick to the attack of Rong Mei's small forward, trying to block the opponent's advance.

But at the moment when Meng Xiaojun stepped forward, the opponent's small forward also jumped directly, in Meng Xiaojun's physical contact, he scored this goal when his body was unbalanced, and at the same time, the referee's whistle sounded, Meng Xiaojun fouled in defense, and Rong Mei added a free throw.

The free throw is made steadily.

Qin Feng played the first ball, and Rong Mei immediately responded with a two-plus-one, and the two sides did not give in.

2:3

The defense was unsuccessful and he paid a foul, Meng Xiaojun was obviously a little unhappy.

Lin Qi walked up as soon as possible, completed a fist bump with Meng Xiaojun, and said at the same time, "The game has just begun, cheer up!"

During this time, Lin Qi's performance made his position as the leader in everyone's hearts more and more solid.

Now that Lin Qi came up to encourage himself in person, Meng Xiaojun naturally wouldn't wipe Lin Qi's face, took a deep breath, and then said happily, "Okay!"

Lin Qi, who was attacking with the ball again, found that the opponent's defense was still very meticulous, and it seemed that he immediately learned from the experience just now.

Lin Qi's first shot was scored with a jumper, so their defense near the free throw line was obviously much more disciplined.

This also made Lin Qi's brain run fast while protecting the ball, "They are also the same as us, they are constantly understanding the opponent's tactical intentions and personal abilities in the game, since they currently think that I am mainly in the middle of the shot, then I will simply calculate, let them feel that my shooting range is limited to this, to confuse them is not bad"

Do what you think!

So, in the face of the opponent's targeted defense within the three-point line, Lin Qi also made an embarrassed look, and after using feints to attract the opponent's defense, he used the ground to give the ball to Sun Hao's hands.

After receiving the ball, Sun Hao seemed to have opened the offensive option all of a sudden, and the ball was tapped on the ground, and the whole person took his right foot as the axis, turned around with a large size, and took a step forward with small steps, ready to slam dunk and score.

The big forward who is responsible for defending Sun Hao will naturally not be willing to be dunked by Sun Hao, and at the same time jump, ready to cover, or interfere with Sun Hao's ball.

Sun Hao looked at the corners of the opponent's mouth, but the corners of his mouth turned up, and the hands that were originally flying to the basket suddenly changed, turned into a shooting posture, aimed at the rebound, and used the board to complete a score.

The opponent who threw himself into the air couldn't help but marvel at Sun Hao's ability to switch attacks in the air.

4:3

In the first few rounds, both sides successfully completed the goal, which is considered a bit of a tie.

However, in the following time, Qin Feng's inexperienced disadvantage in the national league slowly became apparent.

Under the circumstance that Lin Qi could suppress his own attack and create an illusion for the other party, Sun Hao and the others became Qin Feng's main attack point.

And after figuring out Qin Feng's offensive mode, Rong Mei immediately made corresponding adjustments, and their coach didn't even call a timeout!

After failing to attack three times in a row, Qin Feng immediately trailed Rong Mei by seven points with a score difference of 5.

At this time, Ji Shuai immediately called a timeout.

The lack of experience of the players has to be made up for by the coach!

"Remember, in today's game, our opponent obviously knows you better than yourself! Don't fall into the cycle of fighting alone, remember to find a teammate in the vacant position!" Ji Shuai said loudly to Lin Qi.

Lin Qi and the others also took a sip of water and nodded seriously and listened.

"Next, let's try our best to create offensive opportunities for Sun Hao and Yu Leon, the killing weapon on the outside, we can hide it for the time being, and find a way to open the situation on the inside first!" Saying that, Ji Shuai looked at Sun Hao and Yu Leon again, and said, "You two, once you encounter the opponent's single defense, you will fight me to the death, and force them to shrink the defense line to entrap you!"

"Good"

Sun Hao and Yu Liao received Ji Shuai's instructions, and they couldn't help but rub their hands, this is a gold medal for avoiding death, the right to shoot or something, as long as there is a chance, just fight!
