The biggest takeaway of the Siyuan basketball team in the summer vacation was that "Air Rover" and "Lanmeng Boy" won the championship and runner-up respectively in the NIKE Wind and Thunder 3-on-3 Street Ball Competition. It continues Siyuan's excellent performance in the national high school basketball league.

But after the summer vacation, Li Xin and others were promoted to the third year of high school, but they faced a situation where the team was not recognizable.

Zhuo Yifan and Michael. McCarthy will only be with the team for just over a month, at best competing in a few friendlies and training matches. By the time the official selection tournament started, they had already left the team and went to the United States.

Looking at Siyuan's bench lineup last year, none of the three selected for the team in last year's first year could take on the team's responsibility.

Xu Zhiqing, from the second (5th) class of high school, is 188cm tall and weighs 82 kg, and serves as a center forward.

Compared with the center of many strong teams, which are usually more than 195cm tall, Xu Zhiqing obviously has no advantage as a center, and his technique is slightly rough, but his bounce ability is not bad, and he can play a certain role in defense and grabbing rebounds.

Jiang Haotian, from the second (2) class of high school, is 1.77 meters tall and weighs 66 kilograms, and serves as a defender. ”

is not tall, thin, very similar to Li Xin in the first grade, but the ball is not as good as Li Xin, and the shooting is also lacking in stability. The only thing that is more comforting is that the speed is not slow, with a speed of 11.8 seconds in 100 meters. Cultivating well has a certain potential, but it takes time, and this is exactly what the Siyuan basketball team is currently in short supply.

Huang Ze Temple, from the second (1) class of high school, is 1.91 meters tall. Weighing 80 kilograms, he plays as a center and small forward.

One of the three has his own characteristics, and he can play as a center and small forward. Occasionally, you can play a power forward, but if you encounter a stronger power forward, you will suffer because his physique is still thin. But the technique is relatively comprehensive, can shoot and burst, and also has a certain ability to control the ball, which is a bit similar to Sui Chengan of Wusheng.

Plus Li Xin, Xia Jun, Zhuo Yifan and Michael. Mccarthy. At the beginning of the school year. The basketball team only has 7 players on the rookie and 5 players as starters, so there are only 2 players on the bench. Not to mention the competition. The lineup is quite untidy.

Besides, in a month, two more people will leave the team, and if someone is injured or something, there will be three long and two short, and even the first five people will not be able to make up the first five.

Recruit new team members. It's already imperative. The team handed over the task to the new assistant coach Zhou Junyi and the team's new captain Li Xin. Fortunately, Xiaoxue and Fang Wenxin continued to stay in the team. contributed to the team's logistics management and shared a lot of work for Li Xin and Zhou Junyi.

On the first day of school, Li Xiaolong did not arrange any training tasks at all. Only put the grim forms faced by the team members this year:

First of all, there is the issue of staffing, and the shortlist of 12 people must be determined as soon as possible. However, even if the list of 12 people is confirmed, it is impossible for the new recruits to fill the vacancy left by Han Chongyu and the others after they leave, unless they can be the same as in the previous school year. Able to parachute into Michael. McCarthy is a player like that, but it's very unlikely.

Second. Since the departure of Mr. Zhao, the director of physical education and research, for unknown reasons, the physical education department immediately cut the expenses of the basketball team, and there is not enough financial support, which will affect the team's training level, medical backup, the quantity and quality of practice games, and even the salaries of coaches.

Zhou Junyi is a good example, last year's Tian Jianzhong's monthly salary was 1,800 yuan, but this year's school promised Zhou Junyi's monthly salary is only 1,200 yuan. But Zhou Junyi, in his relationship with Siyuan, still agreed to this unreasonable treatment.

Third, since the team achieved excellent results in the national quarterfinals last year, the team has long become the target of other teams. In addition to traditional strong teams such as Guangming and Nanyang, there will be more teams that will block Siyuan on the way.

Finally, Han Chongyu and others left the team, and three of them were the main or important players of the original team, and the team needs to establish a new tactical system, and this process will take a considerable amount of time.

In short, this year's Siyuan difficulties will far outweigh the opportunities.

At the end of the training session that day, Li Xin, Zhou Junyi, Xiaoxue and Wen Xin discussed the plan to recruit new players, and the four decided to go to a café to discuss countermeasures.

Zhou Junyi ordered a cup of orange juice for each of the two girls, ordered a cup of cappuccino iced coffee for Li Xin, and asked for a cup of black coffee for himself, first saying:

"Li Xin, what do you think about the selection of new team members?"

Li Xin thought for a while and said: "This year's funding has been reduced, and the time for recruiting players is very tight, so it is impossible to carry out a school-wide selection competition like the 'Siyuan Summer Cup', and there may only be an open recruitment method." ”

"You're saying let them sign up and then select them."

"Well, that's all, but I don't rule out the possibility of the loss of some players who may be better, and I am ready to randomly form a three-person team of people who sign up for the competition for internal selection."

"But in order to speed up the registration process, I want Xiaoxue and Wen Xin to do more publicity."

Xiaoxue took a sip of orange juice and nodded: "Well, this is left to us, what do you want to do?" ”

"How to do it, you two can plan it yourself, but I just want to be fast, after all, time waits for no one, and at the same time, it is best to recruit people of a certain level, and try to exclude some people who join in the fun."

Wen Xin thought for a moment and said, "No problem, as long as the detailed recruitment requirements are posted on the school bulletin board, many people will definitely come." But I think it may be a little difficult to quickly select capable people. Xiaoxue, what do you say? ”

Xiao Xue held her cheeks, her big eyes purred twice, and she suddenly smiled, it seemed that she had an idea: "It's not simple, choosing a player with potential is nothing more than physical fitness and technical level, and the physical fitness will be handed over to Brother Zhou, what touch height, running speed, reaction ability, you should all know better than me." And the technical level is shooting, dribbling, and so on. It is enough to have the existing basketball supervisor do it, and then the candidates are selected after a comprehensive score. Then form a three-on-three bullfight, and everyone chooses the right person together, will this be over soon? ”

Xiaoxue's plan was quite insightful, which made Li Xin look at her differently: "Xiaoxue, I haven't seen you for a few days, when do you know so much about basketball?" ”

"Hmph. Where do you care about me? I was able to read basketball books hard during the summer, and now I'm a basketball star. ”

"Well, thanks to you this year. Let's get through the difficulties together, come on! ”

"Okay, come on, come on. Come on! ”

Night. Xiaoxue went to Wen Xin's house and wrote out the requirements for recruiting players overnight, and posted them on the school's bulletin board early the next morning. To Li Xin's surprise, as of 5 o'clock that afternoon, more than 100 people had come to sign up.

Time waits for no one, Li Xin handed over the registration work to the more careful girls Xiaoxue and Wen Xin, and she and Zhou Junyi were responsible for the physical fitness test of the first batch of applicants.

Zhou Junyi first divided the registered personnel into three grades according to their height: 165-180cm, 181-190cm and 190cm, corresponding to the positions of defender, striker and center.

Divide the physical fitness test into 100 meters. 25 meters switchback run, sandbag dodge. The test of the four items of running and touching height tested the speed, direction change ability, reaction ability and bounce power of the applicants.

It was handed over to the rest of the team and the head coach non-stop to test a series of basic technical actions such as shooting, running on the court, dribbling, and layups.

Finally, the two major tests were synthesized, and the first screening was done according to the scientific standard data of each height segment.

Of the more than 100 people, half of them were wiped out that day, and 63 were able to stay.

The next day, more than 80 people signed up. As a result, 40 people remained.

In a week, more than 300 of the 1,000 boys in the school participated in the registration, which shows the enthusiasm.

This made Li Xiaolong, Li Xin and Zhou Junyi very happy, and basketball is still quite popular in this school, which makes the basketball team see hope again.

In the end, a total of 146 people became the second batch of candidates, divided into 48 groups, and the final selection must be completed within 1 week.

This is very busy with the basketball team, 7 players are being selected, plus Zhou Junyi, a team of two, divided into 4 groups, Li Xiaolong, Xiaoxue, Wen Xin became the fifth group, watching the game at the same time in 5 halves.

Those who entered the second batch all had a certain level of basketball, but there were not many who really stood out. In the process of observation, there are also a few people who are reflected in the eyes of the basketball team.

Like what:

In the half court in charge of Li Xin and Jiang Haotian, a 193cm sophomore player stood out among the six, and his basketball skills were unambiguous.

I saw that he singled out a player of 185cm on the opponent with his back, completely pressed the opponent in strength, forced to the basket, and jumped up to a one-arm slam dunk. It attracted bursts of applause from onlookers.

After a few rounds, his team has led the opponent 7:2, and Li Xin's eyes can't help but light up.

"Xiaohao, what's the name of the highest, I'll listen to the information."

"Wu Xuning, from the second (4th) class of high school, is 193cm tall and weighs 84 kg. Playing time: 1 year. I've seen him play, he was a complete rookie last year, and he's playing well this year. ”

"Well, yes, there should still be a lot of potential to be tapped, make a note of him."

Xia Jun and Huang Zesi were in charge of the half, a player in his early 180cm, with excellent awareness, and always appeared in the gap of the opponent's defense, shooting.

"Zeji, who is that name?"

"Oh, his name is Sun Kaibin, class one (3) in high school, 183cm tall and weighs 69kg. Playing time: 2 years"

"Good fight, what do you think?"

"Well, it's okay, but it's probably not my opponent."

"You stinky beauty! Write him down. Xia Jun hit Huang Ze Temple with a chestnut.

There is also the half of the court that Li Xiaolong and Xiaoxue Wenxin are responsible for, as soon as the game opens, Li Xiaolong noticed a player who is nearly 190cm, although the movement speed is not fast, but the body is very strong, and he plays the inside line. The posture is very fierce.

Li Xiaolong fell in love with this player with a weight of 93kg at once, and what Siyuan lacked was this kind of powerful striker.

"Xiaoxue, tell me about that strong information."

"Strong, hee-hee. I'm looking for it, his name is Zhong Shaoqiang, from the second (6th) class of high school, with a height of 188cm and a weight of 93kg. Playing time: 2 years. ”

There are also players of about 185cm who were found in the half of Zhuo Yifan and Michael, who are agile and active in running.

“Hey,Michael,What’sthatguy’sname？” Zhuo pointed to the field.

"Situ Jinghao, 186cm tall and 78kg in weight, is from the first (4th) class of high school. Played for 3 years. "Michael already speaks Chinese fluently.

"Dude, Chinese is getting more and more slippery!" Zhuo grabbed Michael's neck.

"That's not what you learned from the teacher." Michael has no friends in China, just with Zhuo the most iron, the two soaked together all day, Zhuo taught Michael Chinese, Michael taught Zhuo English, both of them learned quickly, which can be regarded as a complementarity between China and the West.

Zhou Junyi and Xu Zhiqing's half-time also made discoveries:

"That kid played well, and he fought with what you have."

"Brother Jun Yi, you underestimate me too much."

"If you don't believe it, you go up and fight him."

Xu Zhiqing was speechless, and Zhou Junyi then asked, "What's his name?" ”

"Lu Beihui, 187cm tall and 82kg in weight, comes from the first (1) class of high school, and has been playing for 2 years."

A week passed quickly, and the task of selecting the team was successfully completed, and 6 newcomers stood out and joined the Siyuan basketball team. A new list of Siyuan basketball teams has also been generated:

"No. 4 Li Xin, 182cm, 71kg, organized guard

No. 5 Xia Jun, 181cm, 69kg, shooting guard

No. 6 Zhuo Yifan, 192cm, 86kg, power forward

No. 7 Xu Zhiqing, 188cm, 82kg, center

No. 8 Jiang Haotian, 177cm, 66kg, organized guard

No. 9 Huang Zesi, 191cm, 80kg, center-small forward

No. 10 Michael. McCarthy 202cm, 96kg, center

No. 11 Situ Jinghao, 186cm, 78kg, small forward

No. 12 Zhong Shaoqiang, 188cm, 93kg, power forward

No. 13 Lu Beihui, 187cm, 82kg, power forward

No. 14 Sun Kaibin, 183cm, 69kg, scoring guard

No. 15 Wu Xuning, 193cm, 84kg, center"

In addition, in addition to the 12 players who were selected, two alternate players were recruited to prepare for the vacancies after Zhuo Yifan and Michael were about to leave the team.

They are: Bian Yizhou, 184cm, 73kg, shooting guard

Ye Hanjun, 173cm, 65kg, organizational defender

Considering that Zhuo and Michael may leave the team, when recruiting new players, more attention is paid to the position of center and striker. What kind of results can this team, which is dominated by more than half of the newcomers, bring to the competition in the new school year? Look forward to it and cheer it on!
