Chapter 39: Who Comes First to Die
In the depths of the tunnel of the players, a total of 31 players in various uniforms are waiting nervously, and the radio in the basketball arena has sounded, which means that the time for the players to enter the court is approaching. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Gu Jing!" A stout man with a height of about 190 strode towards Gu Jing.
Gu Jing was leaning against the wall boredly, and smiled at the visitor: "Wenbo, long time no see!" ”
Gu Jing's height is about 179, his muscles are well-proportioned, his appearance is handsome, his body is long and streamlined and beautiful, which makes people feel good when they look at it.
In contrast, Wenbo is resolute and rugged, and it doesn't seem to match his name at all. However, he is recognized as the most popular person in this session, and he gets along with everyone.
"It's been a long time, seeing that you're so relaxed, is this year's overseas Chinese high school in your hands?" Wen Bo smiled heartily and patted Gu Jing's shoulder.
Gu Jing smiled bitterly: "Don't entertain me, it's not that you don't know the situation of Qiaozhong this year, I'm making fun of suffering..."
Qiaozhong once topped the second place in the city last year, but that was relying on the good strength of the old senior and the rise of the super rookie Wang Xueheng that year. In this year's lineup, Shangguan Yu focuses on defense, except for Gu Jing and Wang Xueheng, there is no one who can take charge alone.
In the eyes of many teams' coaches, this year's Qiaozhong has lost the ability to win the championship, and they are more concerned about getting the two best team Qiguang.
But Wenbo didn't think so, I saw him sigh and say, "Others don't understand your strength, don't I understand?" Gu Jing, even if you are alone, you can break out of Yunhe. ”
"You think too highly of me..."Gu Jing smiled.
"Not at all..."Wen Bo said seriously, "You must be the last enemy of our second middle school!" ”
The two were talking, and suddenly, the end of the entrance line gradually became lively, and everyone talked to each other, and their voices gradually became high-pitched.
Wenbo and Gu Jing glanced at each other, neither of them knowing what was going on.
"It's Qiguang here!" Gu Jing looked behind him, only to see a bright red slowly surging over like a wave, and the twelve members of Qiguang walked forward casually under the gaze of everyone.
Meng Yiliang, Ye Baiming, Li Jingfeng, Wang Yexian, Zhou Han, Ke Lin...
Gu Jing looked at the Qiguang school team that was slowly walking towards them with a solemn face, with his grasp of Qiguang's intelligence, he knew that these people should be the main force of Qiguang.
Sure enough, it is a terrible power, there are three in the best team alone, in addition, there are defensive genius Colin, rebounding maniac Zhou Han, and the heavyweight interior king Yexian.
It can be said that this is a force that no team can ignore!
Unlike overseas Chinese, the departure of Qiguang's old senior year of high school did not have much impact on Qiguang's strength, and Meng Yiliang, who is the most powerful in Qiguang, is only in his third year of high school this year.
Last year, Qiguang stopped in the quarterfinals, which does not mean that their strength is only in the quarterfinals, what they encountered in the eight into four last year was Huaqiao Middle School, which had a golden session of the old senior high school, and in the end, Huaqiao Middle School also successfully entered the finals.
On the basis of last year's excellent lineup, this year's Qiguang has introduced two best lineups in the junior high school group, and it can be said that the strength has instantly risen to a new level and has become a strong contender for the championship.
"Gu Jing... I feel like I need to retract what I just said..."Wenbo looked at Qiguang's lineup and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
Gu Jing was also a little stunned, until this moment, the strength on Qiguang's account was completely in front of him, and he could feel this sense of impact.
"They will be the first and second seeds this year..."Zuo Ming stood behind Wenbo at some point and sighed leisurely.
is different from Gu Jing Wenbo, he values Lu Ning and Meng Yiliang in Qiguang's team, which makes him not know whether to be happy or sad.
He's still back to enlightenment...
However, he was instantly relieved, looking at Lu Ning's figure, his fighting spirit was also stirred.
"First or second seed?" Gu Jing was surprised, he knew that Zuo Ming would definitely not be untargeted.
"Do you know the name Lu Ning?" Zuo Ming stared at Lu Ning's figure without squinting, pointed to the opposite side, and said lightly.
Gu Jing and Wen Bo suddenly felt like they had been hit hard, and they suddenly froze in place.
Lu Ning, how could you not know this name?
The strongest young athlete who came out of Yunhe, one of the main forces of the national youth team, a well-deserved star player in the future, and a legendary chosen son...
He's back?
============================= divider =============================
"The next to enter the court is the basketball team of Qiguang Middle School, as the most profound high school in the city, the Qiguang school team used to be..."
Amid the rousing and high-pitched sound of the radio and the applause of many spectators, a bright red wave poured out of the players' tunnel and walked towards the center of the field.
Gu Yu walked at the front of the team with a sign with four big characters written "Qiguang Middle School", followed by Meng Yiliang walking in the second place with the red and white Qiguang Yunyun battle flag, then Pang Yuan and Su Hanping, and finally the remaining eleven members of Qiguang, lined up in a vertical column side by side.
Feeling the cheers in the field, Wei Yi's heart was also very excited, which was an emotion that only existed when he had a sports meeting when he was a child.
He could see the figure of Wu Wei in the stands, he had said that he would come today, in addition to Su Yining, Wang Yuyan and Shen Fan, they were standing on the other side.
Lu Yan panted and ran into the basketball hall, went straight up the winding staircase to the second floor, and stood on the highest stand, he saw that Qiguang had just stood in the center of the field, and couldn't help but breathe: "Fortunately, I'm not late!" ”
Lu Ning was standing in the middle of the team, talking to Wei Yi in front of him, Lu Yan saw that Lu Ning had caught up in time, and he was sincerely happy for his brother.
Thirty-two teams, almost the entire basketball hall is full, the players in the field are all tall and big, the height of one meter eight can only be regarded as a low match here, all kinds of team uniforms complement each other, the leaders of each team are also competing for beauty, and the stars are bright for a while.
Gu Yu was wearing a light-colored long dress, she was tall and beautiful, and she immediately compared the leaders of many teams. In the face of the curious eyes of others from time to time, she was calm and calm, always maintained a proper smile, and maintained the image of Qiguang well.
Gu Yu's existence doesn't know how many people envy Qiguang's team members, but Wei Yi can't say it because of his suffering-come, come! Say that the envious come over first and receive a piece of love Oreo per person, don't squeeze don't squeeze, don't worry, there are definitely many more, to ensure that everyone has a share!
Thirty-two teams from various towns, counties, and districts in the city have all entered the venue, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes on the rostrum stood up and said loudly into the microphone: "The opening ceremony of the 16th National High School Basketball League Jiangsu Division Selection Cloud and Qualifiers has officially begun!" Please all stand, raise the national flag, and play the national anthem! ”
The audience suddenly fell silent, and all the spectators stood up in unison and saluted the flag-raising platform.
In the solemn national anthem, the bright national flag was slowly raised, and the audience was silent, only the low voice of singing echoed for a long time.
It is worth mentioning that the athlete representative is Zuo Ming, the soul point guard of the second middle school, who was the champion of last season and the MVP of last season.
"Who is he?" Wei Yi pointed to Zuo Ming on the rostrum and asked Lu Ning in a low voice.
"Zuo Ming... Ever heard of it? ”
Wei Yi suddenly realized that he was Zuo Ming, Yunhe's first point guard.
Zuo Ming looks like a standard basketball player, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, quite tall, strong muscles and strong body shape, making him look full of strength.
But what's even more amazing is that this kind of physical fitness is actually playing point guard!
Wei Yi's mind suddenly appeared in the figure of old Beijing James, not to mention, it was really a bit like...
Is this the MVP, it looks like it's so strong, and it's still in the same position as me, will I be abused by him or will I be abused?
"What are you thinking?" Lu Ning patted Wei Yi on the shoulder and asked.
"I'm wondering when I'll be able to stand up..."Wei Yi replied casually, he couldn't answer that he was thinking about how to die a better life.
"There's always a chance..."Lu Ning showed his trademark smile and said with a determined expression.
…
With a burst of warm applause, before I knew it, the opening ceremony had ended, which meant that from October this year to June next year, the eight-month high school basketball league officially started.
In the coming eight months, countless stories will begin here, countless dreams will set sail from here, countless laughter and tears will come one after another, and countless honors and achievements will be born.
If you want to harvest all this, you have to work hard, win hard battles, defeat opponents one by one, and compete for the only right to qualify in the province. Then he has to go all over the country to compete with champions from all provinces in the vast land of the motherland for a ticket to the north.
The competition in the national high school league is undoubtedly very fierce, and in the high school league, there is no shortage of opponents. Starting today, 32 teams from various towns and counties in Yunhe City will hold a single-elimination tournament to determine the champion of Yunhe.
The champion of Yunhe will represent Yunhe City in this year's Jiangsu competition, when 16 teams from various prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu will fight each other (there are only 13 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu, but for strong cities such as Nanjing, there are two qualifying places), and the champion of Jiangsu Division will also be selected through the knockout round to enter the Southern Region Competition.
Starting from the Southern District Competition, it can be regarded as a real national competition, while the previous ones can only be regarded as selection competitions.
The champion of the Jiangsu division will play a knockout match against the teams from the other 15 divisions of the southern region to determine the champion and runner-up.
There are 16 teams in the southern region: Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Anhui, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Chongqing, Hainan and Hong Kong. (In reality, there are 10 divisions in the north and south, and at the same time, Hong Kong's participation in the National High School League is also a reality.) )
There are 16 teams in the North Division: Beijing, Tianjin, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Tibet, Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang.
The champion and runner-up of the South Division will play a cross-battle with the champion and runner-up of the North Division, i.e. the champion of the North Division against the runner-up of the Southern Division, and the champion of the Southern Region against the runner-up of the Northern Division. This is the national semi-finals, and it will also be a decisive one.
(Actually, in reality, high school leagues mostly use a round-robin format, but I really didn't have the energy to write round-robin games, so I had to change them to single-elimination tournaments.) )
The winner of these two games will meet in the national finals, the highest hall of the national high school league, to determine the final champion.
The national finals will be a best-of-five 2-1 system, with the final home game decided by draw.
This daunting schedule will take place over the next eight months, and if you don't have the quality, you may not even be able to qualify for it. Only the strongest team will be able to survive this series of confrontations and take the highest honors.
Wei Yi sometimes feels dizzy when he thinks about it, just imagine, countless strong teams, countless geniuses, they all have the firm belief that they are not weaker than any peers, and they all have the technical ability to be not weaker than any peers, you have the dream of perseverance, they also have, you have sweat, they will not be less than you.
On the stage of the league, only the brave wins when you meet on a narrow road, use your dreams to fight against other people's dreams, and use your sweat to challenge the sweat of others. In every confrontation, there is only one winner, who will step on the corpse of the loser to meet a more powerful existence. Just like a warrior, either you move forward or die, you can only keep fighting, fighting, until you are left alone.
Wei Yi was already completely excited, he was like a walker who had just embarked on a journey, with both apprehension and excitement, facing the unknown but bound to be full of hardships ahead, looking forward to it.
"I feel the blood surging..."Meng Yiliang, who was in front of Wei Yi, couldn't help but whisper.
"Me too!" Lu Ning clenched his fists and looked at the winning champion flag on the rostrum expectantly.
The champion flag of Yunhe City, the champion flag of Jiangsu Province, the champion flag of the Southern District, and the champion flag of the national finals, with these four flags, Qiguang's basketball hall should also seem more substantial, right?
Next up is the draw for the battle group...
At this time, the big screen in the stadium began to show the schedule of the entire league, but at present, there are only connections and empty seats on the big screen, and there are no names of most schools, except for the two schools in the first match.
As the champion of the previous session, the second middle school is bound to participate in the opening match, and as for the opponent team, it is drawn from the 16 top 32 teams in the previous session.
Yunhe No. 2 Middle School and Yeshan Middle School, they are the protagonists of today's opening game, so the first battle has been decided.
With the exception of both teams, the coaches of the other teams were called to draw lots.
The in Qiguang were still looking at it with their necks stretched, but they saw Su Hanping walking back with a smile on his face, and said to the players: "We are the second seed, so there is no need to draw lots, just wait for the results." ”
Second seed!? Everyone was secretly surprised, Qiguang didn't even enter the top four last year, who thinks so highly of us and ranks us so high?
But think about it, the old men of the Municipal Basketball Association have heard a lot about the names of Lu Ning, Meng Yiliang, Ye Baiming and Li Jingfeng, what strength do they have, don't these people know?
Finally, the schedule of the entire Yunhe City has come out, and all the vacancies are filled with the names of various schools, basically for this result, there must be people who are congratulating their good luck, and some people are complaining about their bad luck.
Qiguang's first opponent is Nanhua Middle School, which is a key high school in Nanhua County under the jurisdiction of Yunhe City, and it is said that its strength is also good, and it was also the top eight last year like Qiguang Middle School.
The match between the two teams will be held tomorrow, Sunday, at Nanhua High School, which also means that the first game, Kai Kwong, will play away from home.
"Look, they're South China High School." Colin glanced around in the vast sea of people and pointed to a team wearing blue uniforms not far away.
Everyone followed Colin's instructions, and sure enough, the other party's chest was written with the word Nanhua in big letters, who else could it be if it wasn't Nanhua Middle School?
It just so happened that Nanhua Middle School also looked at it at this time, and when they saw Qiguang's lineup for the first time, everyone in Nanhua was stunned, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so high..."
Isn't it, Qiguang Guangguang is above 1.9 meters tall Wang Yexian, Li Jingfeng and Zhou Han, and there are also Meng Yiliang and Zhao Zhi who are close to 1.9 meters.
(The name of the sentence pulls the author's sleeves: 夭寿... You forgot Song Ye)
Ahem... One meter nine, there are also Meng Yiliang and other two... Threesome...
This kind of height may not be anything in the national competition, but in a small Yunhe, it is already very high, and even in Jiangsu Province, it is considered to be at the upper middle level.
The team of Nanhua Middle School still looks relatively decent, except for a person who seems to be an inside lineman with a height of 1.9 meters, most of the others are only 1.8 meters tall or 1.7 meters tall.
"They're Kai Kwong Middle School?" He Qiu frowned tightly.
"That's them." Coach Zhang Shiyuan nodded solemnly, if Qiguang Middle School is happy about the lottery results, then he Nanhua Middle School can only be sad. (Zhang Shiyuan [Angry Throwing Cup]: Sad P!) This is to kneel! Why did you meet the protagonist team in the first place!? )
Of course, Zhang Shiyuan knew that Qiguang had Meng Yiliang, a player who had long been famous, and he heard that there were two best teams in the junior high school group who entered Qiguang this year, and now he is even more powerful.
He couldn't help but be full of pessimism about the next game, turned his head to look, and sure enough, the players were all hanging their heads, looking dejected.
They were able to reach the quarter-finals last year, and this year it would be unacceptable to go home fishing after the first game.
"Cheer up, everyone!" Zhang Shiyuan clapped his hands, glanced at the crowd, and pretended to be relaxed, "Don't look dejected, Qiguang was the top eight like us last year, what is there to be afraid of, this year, we Nanhua He Qiu and Li Yi are not bad for him Qiguang." ”
Hearing the coach's encouragement, everyone's hearts also cheered up a little, yes, we have He Qiu and Li Yi, and Qiguang just looks strong.
For a while, the atmosphere in the team was much better! (Can I say you're so coaxing?) )
Only He Qiu glanced at the coach silently and sighed helplessly...
