Leaving Venice Beach, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the home and away schedule of the China CHBL Finals has been decided.

Beijing Wusheng Middle School, the former "five-crown champion", and Daheimaji High School, which took away the championship from Wusheng from the previous champion, met again in the CHBL North District Finals. This is even considered to be an early CHBL Grand Final.

In the end, under the leadership of Jiang Chengyi, a recognized "genius boy", Beijing Wusheng Middle School successfully took revenge on Jilin Jida High School, which snatched the championship from itself last year, and became the champion of the North District and was elected as the MVP of the North District. 84:82 Wusheng Secondary School and Nanyang High School Teacher Finals.

This is considered the high school version of "Warriors" vs. "Cavaliers" among many middle school basketball fans. Although Wusheng Middle School graduated from the third year of high school, many young masters have emerged in just one year by relying on the excellent selection mechanism and a strong coaching team. In addition to Jiang Chengyi, last year's best team center Li Mengzhou was invited to transfer to Wusheng Middle School. In an interview with the reporter of "Youth Basketball", Li Monzhou said: "Compared with the High School Affiliated to Beijing Sports University, I think it is more likely to win the national championship when I come to Wusheng Middle School, this is my dream on the first day of middle school, I am in my third year of high school this year, it is the only chance, and I think it will be a very wonderful thing to cooperate with a super first-class player like Jiang Chengyi!" ”

But because of this, when Wusheng Middle School played an away game at the High School Affiliated to Beijing Sports University, the audience booed, and the supporters of Beijing Sports University could not accept such a "betrayal". Their core players actually switched to other teams, which made supporters embarrassed.

But this does not rise to the point of violating morality, everyone has their own ideas and their own pursuits. There are no strong players to supplement the high school attached to Beijing Sports University, and the main players in the third year of high school have left school one after another, and the possibility of winning the championship has become very slim, which is not determined by Li Mengzhou's ability alone, and in this case, there is only one way to join a promising team.

These two people formed Wusheng's "double core". Coupled with the defensive titan Zhong Zhengmin, at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, Wusheng ranks among the top in the country. It can be seen from the successful revenge of the eliminated last year's champion Jida High School.

The strength of this Wusheng team is no less than last year's.

On the Nanyang side, Zhang Zhenyi, who perfectly replaced his brother Zhang Qiyi, became the new core, and at the same time, with the assistance of power forward Zheng Shaofeng and guard swingman Luo Yiyun, it is not accidental that he entered the finals. The wonderful duel between the three giants of Nanyang and Wusheng attracted a large number of spectators, and Wusheng's home stadium was full.

Wusheng Middle School, which has a home advantage, was full of firepower in the first game. The all-round performance of 22 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals in the half helped the team lead the opponent by 9 points at 45:36.

"I don't want to lose that feeling in last year's final! Today I will release myself one hundred percent! When interviewed by reporters at halftime, Jiang Chengyi said.

Although in the second half, under the leadership of Zhang Zhenyi, Nanyang Middle School fought hard to catch up and once tied the score. But at the last moment, Jiang Chengyi broke through the inside line to attract the bag, skillfully distributed the ball to the periphery, and hit it with his open hand outside the three-point line to complete the stunner. 92:89 With a 1:0 advantage, the two teams will meet again in Shanghai in 2 days.

After an NBA summer camp and a short stay in Los Angeles, Li Xin returned to Shanghai. Xia Jun and Zhou Junyi went to the airport to pick up Li Xin.

"Well, I learned a lot from my trip to the United States, right?" Zhou Junyi asked as he drove the car.

"Well, it's really worth the trip." Along the way, Li Xin told his friends about what he had encountered in the United States, including meeting NBA superstars, playing against junior basketball masters from all over the world, and playing in Venice Beach. The friends were shocked when they heard it, as if they were listening to a wonderful fantasy story.

"This afternoon, Nanyang hosts the second game of Wusheng Middle School, go to Nanyang High School to watch it! I managed to get five tickets! Zhou Junyi took out five tickets and shook them in front of Li Xin's eyes.

"That's great, Brother Jun Yi, you still have a way! It's a pity to be able to fight with Wu Sheng until the last moment. ”

"Well, but the CHBL finals are a best-of-five system, and Nanyang still has a chance. Seriously, the changes brought by Zhang Zhenyi's arrival to Nanyang are really too great. ”

"You mean that Zhang Zhenyi is stronger than Zhang Qiyi." Li Xin said.

"Of course, if Zhang Qiyi is a point guard with a broad vision and excellent skills. So when Zhang Zhenyi has these abilities at the same time, he also has better scoring ability and defensive ability. ”

"It turns out that you think so too, maybe it is the more frustrating life experience that has given him more opportunities to experience."

"In the future, when you enter college, you may become stronger competitors to each other." Zhou Junyi said while driving the car while looking at Li Xin in the co-pilot.

"You mean me and the Zhang brothers?" Li Xin asked rhetorically.

"No, it's you and Zhang Zhenyi, Zhang Quanyi will fall behind you immediately. You have more potential and are more talented. You can see the progress you have made in the past three years. ”

Hearing Zhou Junyi's comment, Li Xin was still taken aback: "Is he really as good as Brother Junyi said?" Do you still have a high ceiling for development? Even the question he didn't know, Jun Yi gave his own speculation.

While speaking, the car had arrived at the door of Li Xin's house.

"You can rest first, I'll pick you up in the afternoon and go to Nanyang to watch the game together." Zhou Junyi said.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Brother Jun Yi, thank you!"

"Xia Jun, where are you going? Come home or come with me? Jun Yi asked Xia Jun, who was helping Li Xin with his luggage.

"I'll be with Li Xin, I still want to talk to him." Saying that, Xia Jun looked back at Li Xin and asked for his reply.

"Well, it's been a long time since our brothers had a good conversation.

Jun Yi smiled, stretched out two fingers, swiped over his head, rolled up the window, and drove away.

After putting away the luggage and washing up, Li Xin sat on the sofa. took out a blue jersey from the suitcase and handed it to Xia Jun.

"Well, this is a gift for you, Stephen. Curry's original jersey! ”

"Wow, thanks buddy! I love this gift so much. ”

"Tell me what happened during my absence."

Xia Jun glanced at Li Xin hesitantly, paused, wanted to say something, but didn't say anything.

"What's the matter, if you have something to say, there's no one else here!"

"Well, it's just the two of us here, so I'll tell you about it."

"What's going on, so mysterious?" Li Xin asked curiously.

"A few days ago, Ouyang Chi stumbled upon a person with detailed information about all the basketball team members in our school, he thought it was very strange, and then he launched an investigation, and found that not only our school, but also many other schools' personal information they also know. And this person should belong to a company called Bowen Sports, the general manager of this company is surnamed Liu, according to Ouyang Chi's investigation, as well as my and Brother Jun Yi's analysis, I think he is very likely to manipulate the new director of teaching Director Lou to do things for him behind the scenes, so it is easy to understand that he will cut the team's expenses, try every means to let me and Coach Li leave, and not recruit potential freshmen to enter the school, so as to bring down the Siyuan High School basketball team.

As for why he did this, Director Lou must have a certain interest in this Bowen Sports. But the hard evidence is not yet in hand. But what is the purpose of this Bowen Sports, it's just a high school basketball team, not a professional team, what are the benefits, no matter how you look at it, it's a matter of no interest! And where is his motive? It's really puzzling to us. Investigation is still needed! ”

Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but be taken aback, he never thought that such an entanglement would occur in a middle school basketball team, and he would operate in the dark. What is the specific reason? He was lost and pondered.

"Could it be that this Bowen Sports's 'Mr. Liu' and Siyuan Middle School have some personal grudges to take revenge?" Li Xin looked up and said after pondering for a moment.

"In this way, it is also possible, there is no benefit, that is a personal grudge, so what is a personal grudge?" Xia Jun spread his hands and asked Li Xin.

"I don't know about this, let's see if Ouyang can continue to investigate something." Li Xin touched his chin.

"I'm so tired from a long journey, I'll sleep for a while, why don't you go to the living room to watch TV for a while?" Li Xin said to Xia Jun.

"Okay, you have a good rest first, I'll watch TV for a while, and Brother Jun Yi will pick us up in the afternoon to go to Nanyang."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Junyi came to pick up the two on time, Nanyang Middle School was not far from Li Xin's house, and they had arrived at their destination 20 minutes later. As soon as I entered the school gate, I saw people walking in the direction of the gymnasium one after another, and when I arrived at the entrance of the gymnasium, the noisy noise filled my ears. Li Xin remembered the scene when he competed in the CHBL National Competition last year, and every player who walked into the gymnasium would feel a kind of honor. Although it was just a basketball game for high school students, there was not much media attention and there was no high prize money. But this is the dream of a teenager, to be able to show himself on a stage and work hard to show his talent, this is his real burning youth.

It's just that now the people who want to realize their dreams in this arena have become the generals of Nanyang High School, especially Zhang Zhenyi. His experience is embarrassing, and being able to stand in this arena is already a success. He has played against Zhang Zhenyi a few times, and he is also a team in the Shanghai Division. Li Xin and others will naturally pay more attention to Nanyang emotionally. Hopefully, a Shanghai team can make it to the top podium on the stage of CHBL.

lost in the first game, and Zhang Zhenyi will inevitably go all out in this game and use 100% or even 120% of his ability. Whether it can lead Nanyang High School to win back a city, let's wait and see.

"Now is the time for me to prove myself to the national audience, I, Zhang Zhenyi, a child who was 'abandoned' by my parents since I was a child, started playing wild ball, and now is my most glorious time! I'm not going to take half a step back! Zhang Zhenyi has already made up his mind in his heart, there is no way out!
