Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Quarterfinals Begin
On October 17th, the men's basketball team of Ocean University went to Baoding City under the welcome of all teachers and students and started the journey of the quarterfinals in Hebei Division.
The super-long bus with Ocean University on it drove on the highway, and at eight o'clock in the morning, it was much more lively than the deserted environment outside.
Hu Yunlong, Wang Jian, Li Ming, Jia Kai and the four were playing cards, Huang Xiang and Ouyang Xiang were playing chess, while the others were watching the excitement, some were sleeping, and some were playing games. In short, there is no one who has nothing to do.
"Boy, are you looking at my cards again?" Wang Jian yelled at Hu Yunlong on the side. However, he forgot that it was the sleeping god who was asleep next to him. After the roar, the sleeping god Wang Shuai slapped and flew directly towards Wang Jian with a burst of afterimages.
"Disturb Lao Tzu's sleep and watch the palm." With Wang Shuai's voice sounding, Wang Jian's screams came from the car at the same time.
"Violence."
"Self-inflicted."
"Shem."
The remaining three people playing cards around each said a word and flashed directly, for fear of harming the pond fish, Wang Shuai glanced at a few people, and said slowly with his sleepy eyes that seemed to never open: "Disturb me to sleep again, I'll throw you out of the car." After saying that, he lay down and continued to sleep, and in less than half a minute, he fell asleep again.
Wang Shuai's firepower has been known for so long, this guy was born with low blood sugar, and he will be very confused when he wakes up, so he hates others to wake him up the most, so if everyone breaks the precepts, they will flash.
Huang Xiang looked at the people who were playing with a smile, shook his head and said: "The energy seems to be abundant, okay, if anyone doesn't contribute to the game, hehe, go down to me directly." ”
Now Huang Xiang's words are simply a holy decree, and even Zhang Guijiang sometimes has to discuss with Huang Xiang and finally decide on tactics, which is the role of the absolute core.
"Don't worry, boss, even if you don't play, how many teams can handle us with our current firepower?" Hu Yunlong said proudly, pinching his waist with his left hand and clenching his fist with his right hand, making everyone directly stretch out their middle fingers and despise him.
"Be quiet, don't you sleep without watching the coach, wake him up and I'll see how you deal with it." After finishing speaking, he ignored everyone and continued to play chess with Ouyang Xiang.
The two played backgammon, Ouyang Xiang won five games in a row, it was not that Huang Xiang couldn't play, but deliberately let Ouyang Xiang, after all, it was enough to make his girlfriend happy.
The strength of the four groups in the Hebei Division cannot be underestimated, Hebei University and Hebei Normal University are in Group A, and Xingtai University and Hebei University of Engineering are in Group B; Group C is Hengshui University and Cangzhou University, and Group D is Ocean University and Yanshan University. It can be said that there is not a single weak team.
Hebei University has entered the Northeast Regional League for 5 consecutive years, and it is an old strong team, steady and steady, similar to the Spurs in the NBA, but it is also the most passionless team, lacking vitality.
Other schools are only enough to gain a foothold in the Hebei Division with fresh blood added in the last year or two, and a typical example is Ocean University.
Ocean University generals dare to despise other teams is not without the ability to brag indiscriminately, whether it is Huang Xiang or Ji Wufeng, the opponent cannot defend, plus a group of freshmen who are no longer afraid of the away team, maybe they can really break into the national quarterfinals.
The Hebei quarterfinals not only have reporters interviewed, but also Hebei Satellite TV live broadcast, that is to say, everyone can be on TV, and Huang Xiang was depressed for a long time after knowing about it, others are afraid that the camera will not find him, and Huang Xiang is afraid that the camera will find him, because he is afraid that his parents will know about playing basketball. And with Huang Xiang's status, it is impossible not to be discovered, so Huang Xiang is afraid. Also, I don't know what to say when I am discovered.
Another important point is that the city where Huang Xiang's family is located is Baoding City.
There are more commentators on the quarterfinals, and now it's the real basketball game, with the media, the reports, and the commentators, but there are no such things in the group stage.
After several hours of driving, the bus finally came to Baoding City, which is the capital of Hebei Province and is a very distinctive city.
The bus drove directly to the hotel where I stayed, and this time the competition was specially rented by the CUBA Hebei Organizing Committee, a four-star Marriott hotel, which was really the next one, but I don't know who paid for it.
Looking at the hotel in front of him, Hu Yunlong was not angry, which meant that there must be something delicious here.
"Oh, my mother, it must be comfortable here, I was right to play basketball in the first place." Yin Fei couldn't help jumping and jumping when he saw such a good hotel, it seemed that he wanted to live in such a house and wanted to go crazy.
Looking at these uncompetitive apprentices, Zhang Guijiang couldn't help but feel a blush, these boys, it's really embarrassing, and hurriedly said to everyone: "Okay, let's go in, go through the formalities, I have to go to the lottery in the afternoon." ”
"Let's go." More than a dozen young men rushed into the hotel, and Zhang Guijiang could only follow quickly, really afraid that these boys would cause trouble.
After completing the formalities, everyone went straight to the 4th floor, because there was only Ouyang Xiang and one girl, so Ouyang Xiang had a room by herself, while the others were two people in a room, and the entire 4th floor was occupied by Ocean University.
After cleaning up and starting free activities, Huang Xiang wanted to go home, but he didn't know what reason to find, plus his home was not in the city, a little far away, so he went shopping on the street with Ouyang Xiang and a few others.
A group of several people walking on the street is very eye-catching, the man is tall and big, and the woman is as beautiful as a flower, how can such a group of people not be noticed?
After going around for a long time, everyone basically didn't buy anything, only Ouyang Xiang bought a pair of basketball shoes for Huang Xiang, although it was not Wade's, but how could Miss Ouyang make a defective product? Worth 1,300 large bills.
It's still early, everyone decided to go to Hebei University to have a look, fortunately the boys did not wear the uniforms of Ocean University, otherwise they would be caught as spies, now is the time for the eight schools to compete, and people are now very tight, so ordinary people will not cause trouble.
On the campus of Hebei University, there are nine people, eight men and one woman, and these people are Huang Xiang, Ouyang Xiang and others.
After going around for a long time, I walked to the edge of the open-air basketball court, and I saw that it was surrounded by people from afar, and I found that it was two people fighting bulls.
Huang Xiang looked at the two people fighting bulls inside and suddenly found that one of them had the word Cangzhou embroidered on his clothes, and it seemed that he was a member of the Cangzhou University team who came to destroy the prestige of Hebei University first. The strength of this person from Hebei University is not ordinary, and listening to the audience, this guy is also a basketball team.
Just when everyone wanted to leave, Huang Xiang stopped everyone and said: "One of the two sides on the court is the basketball team of Hebei University, and the other is Cangzhou University, both stop to see what characteristics the two sides have." ”
The captain has spoken, who can not comply? I had to stop moving forward and look back at the bullfight between the two of them.
Both of them on the court have good strength, and now the score is 15:16, and Cangzhou loses one point.
And the condition for winning or losing the game is that whoever scores the first 20 people wins.
The guy from Hebei University has a very good basketball hand, and one by one streetball moves are displayed, all of which are actions that will not violate the rules of professional basketball.
After shaking the Cangzhou defenders again, the man from Hebei University directly put the basketball into the basket, and the score became 15:18, which was two points short.
The Cangzhou kid dribbled, nothing fancy, and turned around twice and shook the kid from Hebei University to pick up the basket and tried to pick the basketball to the basket, but was stopped by a figure flying from behind.
The kid from Hebei University grabbed the rebound, brought it out of the three-point line, and before waiting for the opponent to come, he directly made a three-point shot.
Sure enough, the basketball crossed an arc and drilled directly into the basket, and at 21:15, the kid from Hebei University won.
"Yay~" cheers rang out, cheering for their school heroes.
At this time, the Cangzhou kid had already run away, and it seemed that he didn't find the stubble but was cleaned up, which was uncomfortable.
Huang Xiang looked at the kid on the field and couldn't help but smile, it's worth the trip, haha, this kid's strength is still okay. After reading it, he took everyone back.
And the kid in the field also saw Huang Xiang's back at this time, I don't know why, I feel that Huang Xiang is putting pressure on him, who is this kid?
Back in the hotel, the others were all in the coach's room, but they were very honest, and they continued to be in a daze when they saw everyone coming back, and when they asked what was wrong, they really surprised everyone who had just come back.
It turned out that Zhang Guijiang had come back from the draw, and the opponent who was drawn was the strongest this year, the host Hebei University.
This news did make everyone quite depressed, but Huang Xiang didn't care at all, in Huang Xiang's opinion, everyone was the same, because they were just passers-by who won the championship.
Zhang Guijiang walked over at this time, looked at the room of frowning young men and couldn't help but be speechless, looked at Huang Xiang with a normal expression and said: "Tomorrow we will play the opening match, that is, after the quarterfinals, we will compete directly with Hebei University, get ready, I'll go out first, there is something wrong." ”
As soon as Zhang Guijiang finished speaking, he lay down.
The rules of the Hebei quarterfinals are arranged by the CUBA Association of Hebei Division, so there are many details that are different from those of other provinces.
There are a total of eight teams in the division, and they start the game in groups of two, each group plays two games, and if the two games are won or lost, the net score is seen, so the game is not just a win.
The first team faced by Ocean University was Hebei University, in fact, everyone was not afraid of them, and after a while, the people who felt bored began to stop being in a daze, in fact, they didn't care who it was. In front of us, then, I will knock you down, only we are the contenders for the championship.
The other six teams also met once at the Marriott Hotel at dinner, and small frictions were unavoidable, and they all thought they were all amazing, how could they look at each other.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, in everyone's expectation, arrived.
(Happy New Year's Day, everyone, the annual meeting in the afternoon, may be late, hehe, everyone eat and drink well, 86720194, book group, come in and exchange opinions with sharks)
