The pace of the knockout round is neither fast nor slow, and the next day, the round of 16, will start soon.

After the first round of fighting, there are few mediocre talents who can enter the top 16.

Coach Zhang pressed Shui Qixing on the bench and admonished the starters very solemnly: "Today it depends on your ability, if you want to press Shui Qixing on the bench, I can't do it, it depends on your performance." ”

The players burst into laughter.

Shui Qixing sat on the bench, helpless for a while.

"Alright, it's getting late, it's time to play." Yan Lei reminded from the side.

The two armies fought against each other, and what they fought for was momentum.

Shuishan No. 2 Middle School did not rely on Shui Qixing, and won the last knockout game, full of confidence.

In the first five minutes of the first quarter, the two sides were evenly matched.

But with 4 minutes and 46 seconds left in the first quarter, the style of painting changed.

The opponent changed two players, and the defensive intensity suddenly increased.

Zi Xiangrong and Qing Rulong's shots were blocked one after another. For a while, Shuishan No. 2 Middle School seemed to have lost power and couldn't play.

A wave of 0:8 tragedy happened.

"Coach, our opponent this time is Gray County No. 6 Middle School, and the strength should not be underestimated. In particular, the bench depth of the bench is profound. According to the investigation, the two people who just came on the field are the defensive giants in the team of Gray County No. 6 Middle School, although they may not be able to play as starters with their strength, but they have excellent defensive skills. Do you want to ......?"

Yan Lei looked at Shui Qixing, who was sitting on the sidelines, watching carefully, and said: "Let Shui Qixing go up, the strength of the opposite side is not simple. ”

Coach Zhang dragged his chin and shook his head: "Wait, they are also official members of our team, and they are still the main force, so they should also be allowed to fight against the wind." ”

12：22。

With 1 minute and 58 seconds left in the first quarter, Coach Zhang called a timeout.

Everyone drooped their heads one by one, listless.

In less than a quarter at the beginning of the game, he was pulled out of the ten points difference, and the score was only half of others, which was too embarrassing.

Thanks to himself and others, he dared to claim to be the main starter of Shuishan No. 2 Middle School.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Coach Zhang spoke up.

"Everyone is one of the best players in Shuishan No. 2 Middle School, and it is not easy for us to get to where we are today. Qingrulong, I still remember your extra training at night. In the middle of the night you practiced your three-point shot alone for three hours. During the day the next day, I still trained with dark circles under my eyes. Yun Dong, your stomach and intestines I know that you can't eat well with the nutrient solution, but it's not the same insistence. ”

Coach Zhang swallowed his saliva, and his expression suddenly became serious: "What are we doing all this for, isn't it just to achieve better results?" But in one quarter, after only the first setback in the state race, you guys were intimidated? Do you think that the opponent is strong, and your mission is almost complete? As long as the water seven stars come out at this time, you can harvest the game, hello, hello, hello everyone, we can advance to the next round? Please, you're all part of the team, and you're all official players. I'm not angry at how many points you've conceded, I'm angry at you for losing a basketball player's heart. I'll tell you here. Today, I just won't let Shui Qixing play, when your performance satisfies me, when will I talk about it. Otherwise, if you lose early or late, do you think you can enter the national competition and win the trophy in your current state? I think you have the qualifications. ”

Everyone was so uplifted by Coach Zhang's words that the team had won a series of battles recently, and in general, Coach Zhang seemed to be in a good mood. Everyone didn't expect that Coach Zhang would suddenly get angry.

Shui Qixing quietly watched Coach Zhang roar loudly, stood up to show respect, but did not step forward.

Because Shui Qixing knows that if a team wants to go far in the long knockout round, it must not only have strength.

Shui Qixing still remembers the memory of the Star Emperor, in the top professional league, the Star Emperor and his teammates formed a star-splendor galaxy battleship, and the team passed all the way, but unfortunately did not lift the championship trophy that season.

At that time, the strength of the Star Emperor was really strong, and the first few games were also won by a big score.

But when they faced the strongest challenger of the season, they failed spectacularly.

Carelessness, confusion, powerlessness, anger.

It was probably the epitome of the Star Emperor and their competition at that time.

Everyone fought painfully, but they couldn't get out.

The score was scorched to the end, but the Star Emperor did not seize the opportunity.

In the consciousness space of the Seven Stars of Water, the figure of the Star Emperor emerged, and it could be seen that the Star Emperor was also preoccupied.

Shui Qixing saw that memory, and the Star Emperor also reminisced.

"You're not wrong in thinking about it," Star Emperor's voice sounded: "Mentality, it's really a big problem. If you want to win the championship, you must have a championship heart. Almost, the results are okay, this is by no means the mentality that a basketball player should have. When fighting, go to fight, and when you meditate, you are confident in yourself. We can shout the slogan of the quarterfinals and the semifinals, because maybe we only have such strength, but in the hearts of each of our players, we must clearly remember that we participate in the championship just to win the championship! ”

"The bloom of miracles comes from a strong heart."

Shui Qixing sighed at the Star Emperor's words, and blurted out his thoughts.

Coach Zhang stared at the starters who came down from the field and obviously heard this.

"Shui Qixing, you come to the front and tell everyone what you just said again."

Shui Qixing came back to his senses, knowing that he had lost his voice, and immediately walked forward: "I'm just thinking about it, not necessarily right." I think no matter what our strength is and what level we are, we should have a championship heart. Maybe we don't have what it takes to compete for the title yet, but how do we know that our opponents are ready? Only in this way, when the opportunity comes, when the miracle comes, we will not let it slip away. The quality of the team depends on every minute of weaving, maybe just a quick run, we might be able to save a ball, maybe we just jumped a little bit high, we can complete a block. Every time the results of the big exam come out, the teachers will let us see how many points we have because we have lost them because of carelessness. I think it's the same thing, maybe our ceiling is predestined, but we can, as far as we can, reach our ceiling as much as possible. ”

"Bang", Coach Zhang took the lead and applauded.

Let Shui Qixing say a few words, it was Coach Zhang's sudden idea.

After all, Shui Qixing's words just now won the heart of Coach Zhang.

But as soon as Shui Qixing spoke, Coach Zhang regretted it a little. What kind of player Shui Qixing is, Coach Zhang knows very well. The shot may not be iron, but the head is iron.

Coach Zhang is really afraid that Shui Qixing's two words will ruin the results of his hard work.

However, Shui Qixing's words were unexpectedly a perfect connection to his previous reprimand.

Coach Zhang felt that what he was looking for was not a guy who had just played, but a basketball veteran with many years of stories.

Just then, the referee's whistle blew.

Coach Zhang looked around at everyone and clapped his palms: "You are the best, definitely, because you are my old Zhang, the selected player." Let's get on the field, all the good work! "Read the latest chapter of "Basketball Starlight Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
