Chapter 12: Easy Advancement
At the beginning of the senior year basketball game, the participants of 16 classes gathered on the playground under the leadership of the class teacher.
"Students, teachers, since our school has fully implemented the national education policy and promoted the progress and development of school sports, our school has vigorously developed more than ten sports competitions, and various sports competitions are held every year."
"Today, the application issued by Minister Liu of the Basketball Department of our school, which was unanimously approved by the leaders of the whole school, in order to promote mutual love and respect and unity learning for high school freshmen, the annual high school freshman basketball class competition officially began!"
"The rules are still the same, the competition is divided into four days, the first day of the 16 classes draw lots, the winning 8 classes, will participate in the second day of the eight-in-four competition, and the winning 4 classes, on the third day to enter the semi-finals, to determine the two strongest classes, and on the fourth day to enter the finals."
"In this basketball game, as long as the class that enters the top four will be selected as the outstanding class of the grade, and the class that wins the championship will be rewarded with an honorary pennant, so please be sure to arrange the class event with due diligence."
"Today's game is divided into four games, each game is four classes at the same time, two games in the morning, two games in the afternoon, now, please come up and draw lots!"
After the speech of Principal Wang, who was a little fat, it was the turn of the participating classes to draw lots, and our senior 15 class was drawn to the 13th class of high school, and the competition was in the first arena in the afternoon.
We didn't have much to do in the morning, so a few of us were spectators on the side of the basketball court, and by the way, we observed the strength of other people's classes.
"Sports Commissioner, two classes on Court 1, guess which one will win." Ma Sixu leaned over and asked.
Today's game was played on two courts at the same time, and on the No. 1 basketball court, one class played against eleven classes, and I just glanced at it and frowned.
Dizzy! Where is this playing basketball, this is clearly playing ball.
There are few people in the first and eleventh classes who can play at all, so there is chaos on the court, and a group of people are crowded together as soon as the ball kicks off, either you push me, or I squeeze you, and even the referee is too lazy to blow the whistle and let them foul, so I haven't seen a goal score for half a day.
I shook my head and said a little speechlessly, "This, I really can't guess." ”
Sun Chengwu laughed: "Haha! I can't guess this formation! ”
Lin Xuan stretched his head and said, "Let's guess who will win on Court 2!" ”
Everyone looked at Court 2 together, and Court 2 was the game between the first and second classes of high school and the twelfth class of high school.
After watching it for a few minutes, Ma Sixu took the lead and said: "I guess the sophomore class will win." ”
I looked at him curiously: "Why?" ”
Ma Sixu pointed to the court and said: "Look, the center in the second class is very skilled, he has practiced shooting under the basket, and he is very accurate, as long as his teammates pass the ball to him, he can score, and the efficiency is very high, so I guess the second class will win." ”
Sun Chengwu retorted: "I think the twelfth class will win, don't you see the guard of the twelfth class?" That one-handed breakthrough layup, no one can stop it! ”
Lin Xuan also nodded and said: "Well, the skills of that guard in class 12 are really good, he is good at dribbling, he is also good at layups, and his speed is also very fast, I feel that even the two guards of the school team are not as good as him." ”
"Liu Ye, Liao Yuan, what do you two think?" I asked.
Liu Ye touched his head and said a little embarrassed: "I, I don't understand, if you have to guess, I guess the twelfth class, the guard of the twelfth class is too handsome, if only I were so powerful." ”
Liao Yuan said haha: "Ha, then I will guess that the sophomore class wins." ”
I suddenly said to Nie Yongbo, who was wiping his glasses, "Glasses hero, what do you think?" ”
Glasses is the nickname I gave to Nie Yongbo.
Nie Yongbo put on his glasses, and then said three words very firmly: "Sophomore class." ”
I was stunned and said, "How can you be so sure?" ”
The others immediately leaned their ears over, Nie Yongbo habitually lowered the frame, and then said slowly: "You see, the guard in the twelfth class is a dragon from the tee shot to the basket score, basically does not pass the ball, this is too physically demanding, although his style of play is very eye-catching, but he will lose his physical strength if he can't play for too long." ”
"If you look at the power forward in the second shift, he not only has good skills under the basket, but he never controls the ball, he just takes a good position under the basket, and then waits for others to pass the ball to him, and then uses his physical advantage and basket skills to shoot and score, which is very easy."
Ma Sixu suddenly realized and said, "Oh! I know, so playing basketball is not only about skill, but also about physical strength! ”
Nie Yongbo glanced at him appreciatively, then smiled and said, "Almost!" In addition to the individual skills of the players, basketball also depends on the use of tactics, and the reasonable distribution of the players' physical strength and the arrangement of the most suitable tactics for the team can often achieve twice the result with half the effort. ”
I immediately gave a thumbs up: "Worthy of the glasses hero, awesome!" ”
The others chimed in: "Awesome! ”
Nie Yongbo was embarrassed, so he had to laugh "hehe" there.
An hour later, the first round ended with the 11th class of Court 11 winning with a super low score of 18-11, and the second class of Court 2 beating the 12th class 72-58.
Seeing this result, the six of us once again rewarded the glasses man Nie Yongbo with a thumbs up, and the analysis was really accurate!
In the last round of the morning, the 16th class won the 3rd class with a record of 56-42, and the 15th class won the 4th class 66-60, and all four games in the morning were over.
The first round of the afternoon competition was between the fifth class of high school and the fourteenth class of high school, and the sixth class of high school against the thirteenth class of high school.
The starting lineup of our class is me, Ma Sixu, Sun Chengwu, Lin Xuan and Liao Yuan, and Liu Ye is on the bench.
After a few days of running-in practice, there has been a certain tacit understanding between several of us, and there will be basically no mistakes in passing and receiving the ball.
And we all know where we stand, the striker is the striker, the defender is the defender, each doing his job, never offside, so the attack is methodical and the defense is orderly.
The strength of Class 14 is very weak, almost no one can play, they are some novice rookies who have just come into contact with basketball, they only know how to run with the ball, and they will rush up wherever the ball goes, which is not challenging at all for us who aspire to be champions.
After half the game, Nie Yongbo said to me: "Don't play in the second half, let the five of them hone it." ”
I nodded, this kind of non-confrontational game is not interesting at all, although I like to abuse vegetables, but I don't like to play with a bunch of rookies. At the same time, I also want to see what the strength of our class would have been without me.
I was just surprised by the result, at the end of the first half, we were 43-3 ahead, and by the end of the game, the score was 75-9, and without me, the five of them actually scored 32 points in the second half.
Nie Yongbo lifted his glasses and said, "How is it?" Do you feel any of them? ”
I smiled helplessly: "Why do I feel that there is no difference between me and me here?" ”
Nie Yongbo suddenly smiled: "Haha, your role is absolutely irreplaceable, but the opponent is too vegetable, and they strictly implement the tactical position, so even without you, you can easily score." But if the opponent's defense is a little stronger, it will still be difficult to score with their skills alone. ”
I nodded, and rushed onto the field.
"Yes, good job."
I walked out on the field and high-fived them one by one, and the joy of victory flew on our faces.
