After Wang Ai returned to school with the team, he began to train frantically, and everyone knew that Lin Xiangyu and Lin Xueyu were going abroad, and they comforted Wang Ai, Wang Ai just smiled and said it didn't matter.

After more than a month of high school basketball league in Jiangbei Province, the top four teams were finally decided, namely Tang City No. 31 Middle School, Hanlin City No. 7 Middle School, Yao City No. 11 Middle School and Lianlu City Wangdao Middle School, Hanlin City since Wang Ai did not play, and lost to Tang City, from the beginning of the undefeated, until the final stage of continuous defeat, but fortunately, the early points in hand are relatively high, and the final ranking is still ranked third.

According to the rules of the competition, the first place plays the fourth place, and the second place plays the third place. The first knockout match is the duel between Yaoshi No. 11 Middle School and Hanlin City No. 7 Middle School, although Yaoshi lost to Hanlin City before, but the latter game was chased back, and now the history of the two teams is 1 to 1, drawn. But in the knockout round, there will definitely be a team that will be eliminated, and the winner will advance to the finals with a best-of-three game.

Since the top four teams were released, everyone has the same opinion on this knockout tournament that Tang City will definitely eliminate Lianlu City to advance to the finals, so the only highlight of this competition is the duel between the second and third places. From the perspective of the round-robin match, the two teams have their own merits, Yaoshi defeated their opponents in the first game against Tang City, while Hanlin City remained undefeated until the end of the game.

The venue of this knockout match was arranged in Tang City, because the venue facilities here are the most advanced and perfect, and it is also the provincial capital, so except for Tang City 31, other teams are playing away, which adds a home advantage to Tang City.

Another highlight of the game between Hanlin City and Yao City this time is whether Wang Ai, the main scoring guard of Hanlin City, will play, and Wang Ai did not show his head in the last few games of Hanlin City, which put his team in a predicament. Wang Ai in the game, Hanlin City has won, and he did not play 6 games, but lost 3 games, both times lost to Tang City, once lost to Yao City, if Wang Ai does not play in this game, Hanlin City is sure to win?

The day before the first game, Wang Zhixiong found Wang Ai, and the two talked again about whether Wang Ai should play. Wang Ai had long thought that if it wasn't for the Tang City, he would have been able to play. And Wang Zhixiong thinks that it is best for Wang Ai not to play in these games now. Wang Ai asked Wang Zhixiong why, and the reason Wang Zhixiong gave was that Wang Ai had just broken through the Enlightenment Spirit, but he had not yet reached the Spiritual Stage. These are Wang Zhixiong's experiences. So at the end of the round-robin, Wang Ai didn't play, or even showed up, which surprised everyone very much, thinking that this talented defender was afraid of another talented defender, Ishida, so he didn't dare to show his head again, and Wang Ai just ignored these rumors. The other teammates of Hanlin City No. 7 Middle School expressed their belief that this was Wang Zhixiong's tactical arrangement, because they had been training with Wang Ai for so long, and they knew that Wang Ai's strength would definitely not lose to Ishida.

These days, Wang Ai is soaking in the basketball hall to stimulate the ball spirit, or staying at home to realize the spirit, after these days of continuous efforts, the voice in Wang Ai's head has begun to gradually become clear. And when Wang Ai appeared in his mind, the silver ball seemed to have grown a little, and the silver light emitted was even more shining.

Regarding Lin Xueyu, Wang Ai really doesn't have so much time to chat and go shopping with her, and secondly, since Lin Xueyu said that she was going abroad, Wang Ai always felt that there was a layer of separation between the two, but fortunately, now that the knockout round has begun, Wang Ai can go to Tang City with the team, just to avoid Lin Xueyu. Lin Xueyu was busy sorting out the affairs of going abroad, so she did not follow the school team to report on the school newspaper.

After arriving in Tang City, Wang Zhixiong led everyone to the hotel first, and the game only started on the second day. Wang Zhixiong decided the first game, Wang Ai still did not play, or played the previous tactics, with Lin Xiangyu and Yang Yang attracting firepower on the inside, and Guo Jingqi looking for opportunities to make a layup on the outside, or transfer. They have used this set to fight a few times before, and it turns out that the combat effectiveness of this lineup is still good, but they still lost when they encountered Tang City No. 31 Middle School and Yao City No. 11 Middle School. However, Wang Zhixiong knew that this was all about preparing for the final battle.

In the evening of the next day, the game began, and the spectators had already entered the stadium. The narration gets to work.

"Although there is no competition in Tang City No. 31 Middle School today, you can see that the audience is still very face-saving, and it can be regarded as filling more than half of the seats." Huang Kanlan glanced at the audience and said that the gymnasium in Tang City is really big, and the 10,000 seats are basically half full in this competition.

"This is going to talk about the enthusiasm of the audience, don't say that people's enthusiasm for basketball is really high now, like we played at that time, how could there be such a good venue, and there would not be so many people coming to watch the game at all." Qin Li sighed with emotion and said sadly. "But when it comes to this game, what I'm most curious about is whether Wang Ai, the main quarterback of Hanlin City, will play, because everyone knows that he hasn't appeared on the court for a long time, and I don't know why?" Qin Li went on to say that he knew that Wang Ai had a ball spirit on his body, and it could also be seen from Ishida's later surface that Wang Ai's move was deliberately avoiding Ishida, but Qin Li didn't understand why Wang Zhixiong still didn't let Wang Ai go without Ishida's game.

"Yes, everyone said that this Wang Ai was scared by Ishida, and he didn't dare to play because of the shadow in his heart, in terms of your major, you might as well tell everyone about it before the game started?" Whenever Huang Kanlan has any opportunity for Qin Li to analyze, he will definitely say that Qin Li will analyze it professionally, and Huang Kanlan really wants to know why Wang Ai is not playing, and the opponent's chess looks good.

"I don't think so, from my point of view, in fact, Wang Ai is not worse than Ishida, I guess it may be that Wang Ai has been unwell recently, and he wants to save his strength until the finals and then compete with Tang City." Qin Li thought about it, and finally found a more perfect statement, which can be regarded as a statement that is closer to the truth.

"It's okay to save their strength, but if they fall at the feet of Yaoshi No. 11 Middle School in the semifinals, what's the point of preserving their strength?" Huang Kanlan continued.

"This ......" Qin Lizi was exhausted, and he was also a little curious, without Wang Ai's Hanlin City, could he beat the flowing running tactics of Yao City? By what? Guo Jingqi and Lin Xiangyu and Yang Yang's internal and external lines cooperate? What if Yao City adopts joint defense? Wang Zhixiong shouldn't have thought of such a simple truth, right? A series of questions flashed through Qin Li's mind, as a veteran who has been fighting in the arena for more than ten years, thinking about these tactical issues has become a subconscious habit for him.

"Okay, without further ado, the game will start immediately, let's take a look for ourselves, Hanlin City without Wang Ai is still the first king of the army we saw?" Huang Kanlan received the voice cut by the director and said that after the game started, he said the opening words in a slippery manner.

Grabbing the ball in the midfield, Lin Xiangyu was still unstoppable, directly grabbed the first ball, Hanlin City launched a formation, and Guo Jingqi advanced with the ball. At this time, Lin Xiangyu and Yang Yang of Hanlin City occupied the positions on both sides of the penalty area, and the other two teammates were near the bottom line, Guo Jingqi made a gesture and asked Lin Xiangyu to come over to block and dismantle, and the opponent's center also stuck to Lin Xiangyu and defended in place, Guo Jingqi passed the ball to Lin Xiangyu when he saw the situation, forming a big and small situation. Lin Xiangyu singled with his back, relying on his body to prepare to grab the defender who defended him. At this time, Yang Yang had already begun to run to the outside, not wanting to give the opponent a chance to defend, but the opponent's big forward did not follow Yang Yang and directly made up for it.

Lin Xiangyu saw that someone was making up for the defense, and gave the ball to Yang Yang, who was unguarded, and Yang Yang directly made a long shot within the three-point line and hit.

"I didn't expect that the offensive range of a big forward would be so large, it seems that Hanlin City is really prepared."
