The teams that participate in the provincial leagues, the winners from each municipality.

Kotoshima City is one of the strongest of them all, but there are other strong teams as well, so overall, there is no shortage of challenges.

Qinfeng High School, which stood out last time, only finished eighth in the provincial league, although it was already very good, but still missed the national league.

The ultimate goal of the teams participating in the provincial league is very simple, that is, to enter the national league.

The team that can enter the national league will be greatly improved in terms of exposure and success rate, and it can be said that it is the most desirable platform for high school students with basketball dreams.

As the outpost of the national league ticket competition, the intensity can be imagined, and no one will give up at will.

In addition to the three high schools from Qindao City, there are a total of sixteen teams from other cities, that is to say, twenty local leaders, after continuous screening competitions, only three teams can be left in the end.

Because given the schedule of the national league, it is not possible for the provincial league to be the same as the municipal league, where each team competes.

The provincial league matchup will be grouped by the Provincial Sports Bureau.

……

On Tuesday, when Lin Qi and the others were still training in the school team, Ji Shuai finally came to them with the group match map of the provincial league.

"Students, our opponents in the provincial league have come out, do you want to hear good news or bad news first?" Ji Shuai did not directly announce the answer, but sold it first.

"Let's hear the good news first!"

As soon as everyone's words fell, Ji Shuai also nodded and said, "The good news is that in this grouping, the four selected teams in Qindao City are all divided into different groups, at least until the next round of games, they will not meet." ”

"What about the bad news?" Lin Qi couldn't help but ask, in his opinion, this good news doesn't seem to be good, could it be that the bad news will be miserable?

Ji Shuai smiled slightly and said, "The bad news is that the teams in the same group as us have two teams that have beaten us last time."

As he spoke, Ji Shuai looked at everyone's reaction with interest.

To his surprise, this time, there was no change in the expression on everyone's faces, everyone just smiled flatly, and there was no other reaction.

This made Ji Shuai feel curious, and asked with a smile, "What, won't you complain?"

Looking at Ji Shuai, Wang Qichao replied directly, "Everyone is the same, our goal this time is to enter the national league"

"That's right, we should complain, it should be the other opponents in the same group as us," Sun Hao added in time.

Everyone was immediately happy.

It's not that they're arrogant, it's that they're really determined to win.

Ji Shuai was indeed very satisfied with everyone's current state, clapped his hands with a smile, and said, "Okay, continue training, and I will make a copy of the list of provincial league groups later, and give each of you a copy."

"Yes"

As soon as the words ended, everyone immediately threw themselves into training.

While Lin Qi was doing shooting training, he asked Wang Qichao, who was not far from him, "Captain, how did you get the ranking of the provincial league?"

Wang Qichao glanced at Lin Qi with some amusement, as if he didn't expect Lin Qi to ask such a question, but he also reacted immediately, Lin Qi had not played in the provincial league, so he patiently explained that "there are a total of 20 teams in the provincial league, divided into four groups, each group of five teams, each team will first conduct an intra-group competition to select the first place, and then, according to the total score, the four first places will be sorted, if the record is the same, another game will be arranged until the top three teams are separated, and so on." ”

"So that's the case" Hearing Wang Qichao say this, Lin Qi immediately understood.

At the same time, he also realized the importance of the confrontation within the group, "It seems that if the games in the group are not all won, they are still very suspenseful."

Wang Qichao also nodded seriously and said, "That's right, if you want to get into the top three, the safest thing is to win every game, and losing one will mean that while you are firmly in the first place in the group, you can only expect the results of the other group to be equally unsatisfactory."

Sun Hao also immediately felt the pressure.

His pressure is different from Lin Qi's, joining the school team, if he can't play well in the provincial league, it will inevitably make his family put more pressure on him, causing him to not be able to continue playing, it can be said that Sun Hao has come to the most critical entrance in his life.

Although he didn't say a word next to him, Lin Qi could still feel Sun Hao's mood, stepped forward and patted Sun Hao's shoulder, and said, "We can definitely do it."

Sun Hao glanced at Lin Qi and nodded vigorously.

Like Sun Hao, Yu Liang is also a little nervous, he is also practicing his offensive steps under the basket very hard, Lin Qi knows that since Yu Leang listened to Du Ying's advice to enter the team, he has been trying his best to play his best to help the team win.

Now that he has entered the provincial league, Yu Liang is definitely not willing to be eliminated easily.

……

After the training, Ji Shuai sent a group map of the provincial league one by one.

Lin Qi wiped his sweat and took a closer look.

On the group chart given by Ji Shuai, in addition to the list of confrontations in his own group, there is also a brief introduction to their records.

Pinghai No. 1 Middle School: The city won all the games, and was promoted to the first place in the city league, the team's three-point ability is extremely strong, and height is the main disadvantage, defeating Qin Feng 7:65 last year;

Wen Ling No. 3 Middle School: The city won all the games and advanced to the first place in the city league, and the biggest threat to the team: scoring guard Zhao Chaoyang;

Zhenjiang No. 1 Middle School: Promoted with the second place in the city league, defeated Qin Feng 2:76 last year;

Suzhou and Hangzhou Sports Career: Promoted to the third place in the city league, the information is unknown.

Due to the high school league, there is no special technical organization for the teams participating in each other as statistics, so the information listed by Ji Shuai is naturally not very comprehensive.

Except for the Suzhou and Hangzhou sports positions that entered the city league for the first time this year, two of the other three high schools were promoted with a record of winning the city league, which shows their strength.

For Lin Qi, his focus was all on the name Zhao Chaoyang in Wen Ling No. 3 Middle School.

"To be listed separately by Ji Shuai as a threat, this person's strength must be very strong" Lin Qi has already memorized this name deeply at the moment, especially the position he plays, scoring guard!

This also means that when the time comes, I will inevitably be in a position with him, and I have to say that this is a great challenge.

After distributing this intra-group confrontation map to each player, Ji Shuai also carefully observed everyone's expressions, although everyone showed surprise on their faces, but there was no distress, helplessness and other expressions, which made Ji Shuai's heart relieved, he knew that this team had really grown.

Recalling that last year, several people led by Huang Wei showed great disgust and other negative emotions for the results of the grouping, and Ji Shuai scolded him very harshly at that time.

Bring a bad atmosphere within the team, this is the reason why Ji Shuai cleaned Huang Wei, a team should not be a black sheep, unity is the most basic guarantee for the team to win.

What makes Ji Shuai feel the most happy is Lin Qi, Sun Hao and Yu Liang, the three members who have just entered the team, they have successfully run in with the team in a short period of time, and they have put their mentality, training, and game attitude very right...... These are what Ji Shuai wants to see the most.

"The competition will officially start tomorrow, and after a while, the bus arranged by the school will arrange for us to go to the Municipal Sports Bureau of Qindao City to adapt to the venue, and during this time, we will also be arranged for accommodation and training, so you can go and prepare for this time now."

Since Qindao City is the provincial capital, the teams from other cities in the province will come to Qindao City.

In order not to treat it specially, even if it is a team in Qindao City, it will be arranged by the Municipal Sports Bureau.

Lin Qi and they have already heard Wang Qichao say this.

After the disbandment, Lin Qi, Sun Hao, and Yu Leon returned to the dormitory together and picked up their schoolbags, and they had already prepared the clothes for washing during this time, so now they can just put on their schoolbags and set off.

Just as they were leaving the dormitory, Zheng Kaiwei and the others unexpectedly appeared at the door of Lin Qi's bedroom.

"Boss, you're going to play in the provincial league soon, and then I can't watch your game, you must come on!" Zheng Kaiwei looked at Lin Qi and said seriously.

After Zhu Zihao and Zheng Kaiwei finished speaking, they also sent their blessings, hoping that they could play well and enter the national league.

Lin Qi didn't expect that they would deliberately stay here at this time to cheer themselves up, and a warm current suddenly flowed in his heart.

"Don't worry, I will definitely do my best" Lin Qi gratefully hugged his group of good brothers, and then walked towards the meeting place with Sun Hao.

……

With the arrival of the bus, Lin Qi and the others got on the bus one by one and headed in the direction of the Municipal Sports Bureau.

Sitting in the car, looking at the scenery along the way, Lin Qi looked out the window and sighed, "Sun Hao, I didn't expect us to go back to that place to play again"

"Yes, a place full of regrets, this time, I can't go home with regrets" Sun Hao also put his hand behind his head and recalled.

I still remember the scene of the bounty competition, it was my first official competition, and now, I am back to my hometown as a starter of the Qinfeng school team, Lin Qi suddenly became a little sentimental, and inadvertently remembered the sentence "Things are people, not everything"

……

"It's a pity, it's still a little regrettable," Sun Hao said suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

"I haven't seen my Vivi in this time"

Listening to Sun Hao's words, Lin Qi suddenly shook his head helplessly, and the two laughed, but it diluted the faint sorrow in Lin Qi's heart.
