The rankings (qíng) of Groups A and C are basically clear, with Beihu and Fuzhong occupying the top two spots in Group A respectively, with Mingxiu and Wu Nan falling victim to this group.

The third and second middle schools were proud of Group C, and Puyang and No. 9 did not cause too many obstacles for these two teams.

In contrast, Groups B and D are a little more complicated.

Liu Yu's No. 7 Middle School and Xu Kai's Provincial Experiment successively defeated the No. 8 Middle School and No. 29 Middle School in the same group, both of which won two consecutive victories, and the two teams will face each other in the final game of the group stage to fight for the top spot in the group.

Winning the group is something every team thinks about, and that means the quarter-finals will play against the weaker group runners, so there's a lot of pressure on the game.

The four teams in Group D are also fighting for the top spot in the group, the four teams have achieved a record of one win and one loss in the first two rounds, and the group ranking can only be seen at the last moment, the most extraordinary thing is Fenghua's upset victory over the 14th Middle School, the 14th Middle School is the top four teams in the Winter Cup, and it is the most promising team in Group D, but it fell into the hands of the little-known Fenghua, and their opponent in the last round is a high school led by Zhou Peng and Gao Ci, a tough battle, the appearance of the 14th (qíng) situation is not clear.

Compared with this-for-tat matchup, the pressure of the final round of the thirteenth middle school led by Xue Hao and Xue Jingchao is a lot, they only need to defeat Fenghua to ensure that they appear, but if they want to win the first place in the group, they need to strive for more net points.

Groups A and C have completed all the matches in the group stage before the other two groups.

The first in the North Lake Group and the second in the Attached Middle Group.

The first in the third and three games won in the group, and the second in the second outer group.

The same group will not meet in the quarterfinals, so there is a third chance that the three will meet Fu Zheng

The four teams that advanced ahead of schedule came to watch the match between the No. 1 High School and the No. 14 High School, which was the most suspenseful game in the final round of the group stage, and the winner was likely to be their opponent in the quarterfinals.

Neither team expected their game to receive so much attention from their opponents.

Zhou Peng and Gao Ci took turns to open the game, playing an 8:0 in the opening game, which made the coach of the 14th high school have to apply for the first timeout of the game just two minutes into the game.

"The state of the fourteenth middle school is not right." Qiu Feishen (qíng) was a little frustrated, the 14th middle school is a recognized strong team, although it has not won the championship, but it has always been one of the champions' (rè) gates, and this opening is not worthy of their title of strong team.

Although a high school is also very strong.

"Losing to Fenghua still has a certain impact on the team." In Mu Chenfeng's words, the battle with Fenghua was the most secure game that the whole team of the 14th Middle School agreed to be the safest, and there was not even a special tactic arranged, but who would have thought that the boat capsized in the ditch, Fenghua showed tenacity (xìng) that did not belong to them, and they really gnawed the hard bone of the 14th Middle School with their concerted efforts.

The unexpected loss of the plan completely disrupted the plans for the 14th (chūn) season, and the other two opponents in the same group were also very strong, putting a lot of pressure on the 14th middle school, and they were faced with a situation where they had to win.

This is the cruelty of competitive sports, where the winner is king.

After the pause, there was a slight improvement in the 14th, although the score difference could not catch up in a short time, but it still barely stabilized the situation, and the score difference was not further widened.

"Do you think it's weird?" Li Yao said suddenly.

"What do you see?"

"I always feel that Zhou Peng and Gao Ci are not restricted, but that the two of them deliberately lowered their intensity."

Before and after the timeout, Zhou Peng and Gao Ci Errao showed a difference, and the offensive threat (xìng) dropped a lot, and they chose to play for their teammates more.

Mu Chenfeng, Qiu Fei, Zhang Jianing, and Zhan Yang also realized this at the same time.

"If it were me, I would do the same." Qiu Fei said.

"Why?"

"Will you show your hole cards under the gaze of your opponent?" Qiu Fei continued, "They should have noticed our arrival, so they can retain their strength, the purpose is not to let us have a deeper understanding of their tactical play. ”

Qiu Fei's remarks are quite reasonable, no matter what kind of group ranking the first high school enters the quarterfinals in the end, his opponents are very likely to be selected from these four teams.

The first group has attached to the middle school and the second outside.

Group second, there are three middle and North Lake.

If you want to win, you have to hide yourself, and the less you expose, the better it will be for you.

Under the condition that Zhou Peng and Gao Ci deliberately hid their strength (qíng), the first high school had a draw with the 14th middle school.

"Fourteen are more than lucky." Zhang Jianing lamented that it was time for the evergreens of this league to give way.

At the end of the first quarter, the first high school built a double-digit lead.

At halftime, the margin was stretched to 15 points.

Victory seems to have become a high school bag.

Although the 14th Middle School launched a large-scale counterattack at the end of the third quarter, it was a drop in the bucket, and it was difficult to compensate for the huge point difference that had fallen behind, and the counterattack only lasted for just two minutes before a high school took back the initiative.

Zhou Peng and Gao Ci spent the rest of the game on the bench in the entire fourth quarter, and finally Yigao defeated Shishiwei Zheng 101-87

The game between the 13th Middle School and Fenghua ended earlier, and finally the 13th Middle School won the first place in the group with a point advantage, the first high school ranked second, and the old powerhouse 14th Middle School was eliminated with Fenghua.

Counting the match where the seven won the provincial experiment, the quarterfinals of the league are decided.

Group A: Beihu Middle School, Affiliated High School.

Group B: No. 7 Middle School, Provincial Experimental Middle School.

Group C: No. 3 Middle School, No. 2 Foreign Chinese.

Group D: Secondary School 13 and Secondary School 1.

Each of the eight teams began training behind closed doors in preparation for the upcoming knockout rounds.

The quarterfinals begin, and the winner is determined.

"Mu Chenfeng, I have a task for you." Fang Zheng beckoned to Mu Chenfeng.

"In the afternoon, the Sports Bureau will conduct a draw ceremony for the quarterfinals, and you will draw lots on behalf of the No. 3 Middle School."

"Me?" Mu Chenfeng hesitated for a moment, "Shouldn't it be the captain?" ”

"No, just you." Fang Zheng said firmly, "Smoke well." ”

Smoke well? How to draw this well, the lottery is all about luck, there is no skill at all, this is obviously not a good errand, everything is fine if the draw is good, and if you don't draw well, you may not be able to suffer what kind of tongue.

Fang Zheng put this on his head, obviously a little deliberate.

However, Fang Zheng didn't give Mu Chenfeng room to refute at all, it's decided, it's up to you.

In the afternoon, all eight teams gathered in the conference room of the Sports Bureau, and the lineup for the quarterfinals will be produced after half time.

The whole process will be followed and recorded by reporters.

Beihu and Seven Diseases No. 3 Middle School, the first of the three groups, three wins in three games, is the most (rè) candidate team in the season cup, although he lost one game in the thirteenth, but his net score is the highest among the eight teams, especially the Xue Shuangxing, they are the duo with the highest points per game, averaging 52.6 points per game, accounting for more than half of the team's scores.

The first of the four groups is not easy to play, and the draw ceremony adopts the method of "winner's draw", the first group is drawn in turn, and their opponents are drawn, and the top eight do not meet in the same group.

The draw starts from Group A and is drawn in turn.

I saw Zhan Yang put his hand into the transparent box and turned around a few times, the four balls in the box spun fast, and without waiting for the ball to stop, Zhan Yang quickly grabbed one of them and slowly took the ball out of the box.

Gently open the ball with both hands, and there is a neatly folded note lying inside, and inside the note is Beihu's opponent.

How strong is North Lake? They had seen it in the Winter Cup, and they showed a stronger dominance than the Winter Cup in this season, as evidenced by the double kill.

North Lake is the last opponent that the team in the "second camp" wants to encounter.

Provincial experiments, second foreign schools, and first high schools are all possible.

"I don't want to hit North Lake." There was a burst of discussion from the field, and before the results were announced, some of the three teams had already flinched.

Zhang Jianing slowly unfolded the note, which read "No. 1 Middle School".

Seeing his school appear on the note, the hearts of the members of a high school can be described as mixed, and they can't avoid a vicious battle with Beihu.

The first group of the quarterfinals is determined:

North Lake vs a high school

It's the turn of the seventh middle school to play, the representative is Liu Yu, the handsome Liu Yu, as soon as he appeared, it caused a sensation, although the conference room was full of boys, but they were also attracted by his appearance, he was good-looking, and he played well.

Liu Yu simply took out a ball from the box and opened it, with the second outside written on it.

The second group of opponents in the quarterfinals is determined:

Seven vs second out

Mu Chenfeng came on the field to draw the opponent on behalf of the third middle school, and at this time there were only the last two balls left in the box, one containing the attached middle school, and the other containing the provincial experiment.

"Who do you want to draw?" Li Yao asked Ye Lin.

"It's the same for everyone, I don't care." Ye Lin replied confidently.

"What about you, Captain." Li Yao turned his head and asked Su Miao.

Su Miao gently stroked her knee with her hand, "Save the experiment, some things should be over." ”

"If it's me, I'll choose the provincial experiment." Feng Chuang interjected.

"They play very dirty, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

The players all have the competition object they want to meet in their hearts, but it is useless to think about it, everything depends on who Mu Chenfeng can draw.

"I hate this kind of thing the most." Mu Chenfeng secretly said in his heart, it is better to let him smoke it last, there is no need to be so entangled if he has no choice.

Mu Chenfeng's hand turned in the box for a long time, and he didn't choose it.

"What is this guy doing, he's been spinning for almost a minute." The people who waited on the field were a little impatient, "There are only two balls in total, and you can turn flowers." ”

"No hurry, no hurry."

Bell, Mu Chenfeng grabbed a ball, and the other ball continued to spin for a while before returning to calm.

"It's going to be a result." Everyone was waiting for Mu Chenfeng to open the ball and announce the result, but Mu Chenfeng weighed the ball and didn't rush to open it.

"This bastard is really appetizing."

If Mu Chenfeng opens the ball to announce the opponent, then there is no need to open the last ball.

In order to increase a little suspense, Mu Chenfeng proposed to let Xue Hao also play, and the two opened the ball together to announce the final result.

Mu Chenfeng is really a talent who controls the field, which can not only increase the suspense, but also not embarrass the player who came on the court to "draw" the lot.

With the consent of the organizing committee, Xue Hao took the stage and took out the last ball from the box.

The two of them opened the ball at the same time, took out the note inside, and slowly unfolded it in front of the audience.

A note with the name "Straight name attached" appeared in Xue Hao's hand, and Mu Chenfeng was holding the note of "Writing the Shadow Province Experiment".

"Great!" Su Miao couldn't help but shout, this can be regarded as a wish, he and Xu Kai met again on the court after a year and a half.

Xu Kai looked at Su Miao with a wicked smile, "This time, I'm going to completely destroy you." ”

The two teams have played each other a total of 7 times, and the attached middle school is absolutely ahead with a record of 6 wins and 1 loss, and every time they encounter Qiu Fei, the performance of the Xue brothers will always be disturbed.

"It's time for a change in the record." Xue Jingchao was the only 13th middle school player who was satisfied with the result of this draw.

Competitive sports, past records, for reference only.

The knockout round is a decisive match, and the loser goes home.

There is a good chance that this (chūn) season cup will produce an outright winner.

"Provincial experiments." The moment Fang Zheng was released, he began to prepare the tactics and strategies to be used in the quarterfinals in his mind.

"Coach." Su Miao shouted, "This is my competition, so I want to ......"

"I thought you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid." Fang Zheng scoffed, "Basketball has never been a spare thing. ”

"Yes, Captain, we're here." (shēn), the teammates gathered together.

"You guys......" Su Miao's eyes were a little wet, and she couldn't speak.

"Don't worry, we won't disturb the duel between you and Xu Kai, but remember, you are not alone." Mu Chenfeng is the person who understands Su Miao's feelings best at this moment, but he still advises, "Don't force yourself." ”

"Hmm." Su Miao nodded, "It's time to make a settlement." ”

Before the start of the quarter-finals, all teams have three days to adjust and rest, and all matches in the quarter-finals will be played at the "Stadium of Light".

A predestined playing field.

The quarterfinals were divided into two matches, the first of which was the match between Beihu and No. 7 Middle School, and the match between No. 13 Middle School and No. 13 Middle School was arranged to be played in the next two middle schools, which also gave each other the opportunity to have a deeper understanding of each other.

This season has been called the most confusing in history, because there is not only one team that has the potential to win the championship, but even eight teams are likely, and the difference in strength between the teams is not large, and no one is completely sure that they will defeat their opponents.

After a short break, all eight teams were in top form.

The competition (rì) finally arrived, and the first to appear were Beihu and Ichigao Zheng

North Lake is riding the momentum of the Winter Cup championship and is bound to win this game.

A high school is much more low-key, they only use basketball talk.

The remaining six teams were placed in special seats and were in the best seats.

"It's so cool to watch the ball from this angle."

There was an open space in front of them, the whole field was unobstructed, and most importantly, there was an open space in front of them, so they didn't have to worry about being obstructed.
