Two days later, the players of Hecheng University took a bus to Lindu City, known as the forest oxygen bar, to challenge the pride of their city, Lindu University.

The history of Lindu can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty, when it was the activity area of the Sushen people. When the Warring States period arrived in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was the territory of raccoon dog, Buyeo, Kou "Linduga Mountain", Manhan and Dou Molou. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, it belonged to the Heishui Department, one of the seven divisions of the Heishui Sect, and the Heishui Governor's Mansion of Hebei Province.

On July 26, 1977, with the approval of the state, Lindu County was abolished and Lindu (prefecture level) was established, and the administrative area of the original Lindu County was planned as the campus of Lindu University. On November 20 of the same year, the school committee decided to start the formation of the Lindu University basketball team.

*****

Coming to the gymnasium of Lindu University, Liu Xiaodong and his teammates warmed up and shot, and the game officially began.

Lindu University sent their strongest lineup, point guard Wang Qiang, scoring guard Li Yang, small forward Fan Zhiyuan, power forward Zhou Xiaofei, and center Tang Hao.

Compared with the strength of the other party, Hecheng University can be said to have a certain advantage in both the internal and external lines. But the game started for a long time, and the Hecheng players seemed to have lost their crosshairs, and none of the basketballs they threw hit them. It wasn't until 7 minutes and 16 seconds into the game that Channing hit the first goal at a 45-degree angle.

After that, Yanagi also found his touch on the inside, and in the face of the disorganized Lindu University inside, he continued to rely on the fight. By the end of the first quarter, he had 15 points and 6 rebounds, completely dominating both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, leading Hecheng University to a 25-17 lead of 8 points.

In the second quarter, Hecheng University changed to a substitute lineup, and Zhang Tiejun let Liu Xiaodong, who had rested for a whole quarter, return to the quarterback position. On the Lindu University side, the main force all played, vowing to catch up with the score behind the fall.

As soon as Liu Xiaodong came on the court, he unceremoniously launched an attack. This caught Li Yang, who was defending him, a little off guard. In the video he watched before the game between Hecheng and Syracuse, Liu Xiaodong did not shoot. Now the newcomer on the opposite side has been successful at the free throw line in a row.

"He'll shoot!" Li Yang, who reacted, of course would not let Liu Xiaodong make an unscrupulous move, he quickly put on guard.

Seeing that there was no space to shoot, Liu Xiaodong did not choose to force a shot, but passed the ball out and quickly reversed to create opportunities for his teammates.

Under the leadership of Liu Xiaodong, the Hecheng substitute lineup not only did not let Lindu University recover the score, but on the contrary, the score difference widened.

When the main force came back from the break, Hecheng University was even more powerful on the offensive end. Liu Xiaodong sat on the field with a group of substitutes, applauding and shouting for the players who performed well.

It only took three quarters for Hecheng University to lose the suspense of the game. The final score was fixed at 95-60, and Hecheng University won a big victory with a 35-point advantage.

Liu Xiaodong played 19 minutes, shot 8 of 11, scored 16 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, very efficient data.

After the game, the male reporter of Hecheng TV found Liu Xiaodong and interviewed some questions about shooting, and he was very modest and said that he just felt good.

Hecheng University's next qualifier will be at home against Jiacheng University.

Although the opponent is a weak team, Zhang Tiejun did not dare to be careless, and on the afternoon of returning to Hecheng, he organized the team members to watch the opponent's recent game video.

By March 18, more than 5,000 spectators at home were still as enthusiastic as ever. Xu Wanqiu had already sneaked into the hall very early, and deliberately found a position in the front row to sit down, so that she could see the figure of the blue No. 8 clearly.

After Liu Xiaodong came on the field, he quickly discovered the shadow on the sidelines, and couldn't help but feel inexplicably excited. He received a pass from Tian Bin, rushed into the penalty area without thinking, faced the thin high forward under the basket, and dunked the ball into the basket through the opponent's long arm.

Amid the cheers of the audience, Coach Zhang Tiejun called a timeout. He did not praise Liu Xiaodong's dunk for how powerful, but scolded him for slamming his head and covering his face, and sternly warned Liu Xiaodong that if he dared to dunk like this again, he would let him sit on the bench and not have to play.

Liu Xiaodong returned to the court with a bitter face, this time he did not play handsome, but strictly implemented the tactics arranged by the coach, and began to run one by one.

Jiacheng University's defensive ability is average, especially the forward line, which can be called a rotten mess. If Liu Xiaodong plays hard, it is not difficult to get 30+.

Hecheng University served from the bottom line, Liu Xiaodong quickly ran through the half court and blocked Guo Cheng in a high position. The point guard of Jiacheng University is called Shen Linxi, a slender and handsome guy of 1.85 meters.

After Guo Cheng passed him, he quickly passed the ball to the outside in the face of the change of defense from the quarterback.

After Liu Xiaodong received the ball and made slight adjustments, without any defense in front of him, he took a deep breath and threw the ball to the basket. The basketball crossed a beautiful arc in the air and hit the basket steadily.

"Come in!" Liu Xiaodong clenched his fists excitedly, this was the first three-point shot in his college career, and the previous projection training was finally not in vain.

Yan Jiarui, who was defending him, looked stunned, he thought that Liu Xiaodong had no long-range shooting ability, so he didn't step forward to defend, could it be that the video he watched was fake?

Off the field, Zhang Tiejun and assistant coach Wang Ming glanced at each other and showed a pleased smile.

Xu Wanqiu applauded excitedly, although she didn't like basketball very much, she knew how much effort Liu Xiaodong had put in to be able to shoot so far.

In the next round, the players of Jiacheng University also began to try to shoot from the outside, but unfortunately they did not feel good. Liu Xiaodong continued to cooperate with the blocking, and after Guo Cheng passed Shen Linxi, he still passed the ball to the outside.

Liu Xiaodong received the ball and pretended to shoot, which deceived Yan Jiarui, who was highly mentally sensitive, to pounce

"Toot ~" The referee blew the whistle for a foul on the thug, and Liu Xiaodong hit all three free throws in the opponent's gritted teeth, extending the lead to 9 points.

Liu Xiaodong was very excited, he felt that his hand felt great, and he had to continue to maintain the momentum of the offense, especially the Yan Jiarui on the opposite side was still a defensive hole.

Yan Jiarui saw Liu Xiaodong's longing eyes, and couldn't help but be angry, could it be that he looked very good at bullying!

Zheng Jun, the head coach of Jiacheng University, urgently called a timeout, first to appease the players to have a stable mood, and then began to arrange two or three joint defenses, focusing on strengthening the defense of the outside line, especially Liu Xiaodong's strong point.

The game restarted, but Jiacheng University really caused some trouble to Hecheng on the outside, and even extinguished Liu Xiaodong's just rising desire to shoot. But Hecheng University is not only a team with long-range pitching, they also have the existence of Yanagi, an inside killer.

No matter what defensive tactics the center of Jiacheng University used, it could not prevent Yanagi from scoring under the basket. In the fourth quarter, the center of Jiacheng, who had no choice, could only send Liu Mu to the free throw line and watch his free throw performance.

With 1 minute and 15 seconds left in the game, Jiacheng University replaced all their main players and announced their surrender!

The final score stayed at 88-65, and Hecheng University won by 23 points.

Liu Xiaodong played 25 minutes, scored 26 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals, both in terms of data and on-court performance, it was his best performance since he participated in the college league.
