In the blink of an eye, it was already the middle of December. Recall that the victory in the B region final for the first time made Siyuan advance to the final stage of the Shanghai region seems to be yesterday, in the blink of an eye, the team coaches and everyone who supports the Siyuan basketball team will be put into a bigger challenge, which is to prepare for the semi-finals, and there are only more than ten days left before the schedule.

The players did not dare to slack off, and the stadium was in full swing.

"Let's play a one-on-one match." As soon as Li Xiaolong whistled, the twelve players were divided into six pairs, and they were sent to the court one by one according to the coach's instructions for one-on-one single jump confrontation with extremely high personal technical requirements, which was also one of the methods for Li Xiaolong to select the players on the court.

Of the four Lan Meng's boys, Li Xin faced Han Chongyu, the well-deserved boss of the team.

Zhuo Yifan will face Peng Chenzhi, the main center who is not surprised to be thunderous in every game.

Against Xia Jun is teammate Ji Shengwei.

Yang Jinglong among the air rovers and Chen Xiaoyin, the only potential player who was selected for the team after last year's "Siyuan Summer Cup" in addition to the "Air Rover" and "Lan Meng Boy".

Most of the results were unexpected, with Han Chongyu and Yang Jinglong winning first. Although Ji Shengwei improved rapidly in the previous stage, he was ultimately defeated by Xia Jun, who has been an excellent pitcher since elementary school.

The most eye-catching thing is the game between Zhuo Yifan and Peng Chenzhi, the two are the absolute main force of Siyuan's inner line, fully supporting Siyuan's internal scoring and defensive tasks.

Although the experienced Peng Chenzhi is far inferior to Zhuo in terms of physical fitness and explosiveness, he relies on skillful basket skills, such as hook hand shooting, high-point board shooting, and small retreat back shots to make Zhuo's lead be eroded little by little.

It is true that Zhuo's blocking and rebounding ability, especially the frontcourt rebounding ability, can be regarded as second to none in the team, but I have to admit that his marking ability and defensive awareness are lacking compared with his predecessors, and Zhuo, who has been deceived by Peng Chenzhi's seemingly inadvertent shaking again and again, shows his impatient nature.

"Phew!" The whistle blows! "Zhuo Yifan, hit someone with the ball! Peng Chenzhi serves! ”

"Phew!" "Zhuo Yifan, walk! Peng Chenzhi serves! ”

"Phew!" "Zhuo Yifan, interfere with shooting! Peng Chenzhi's two points are valid! ”

Again and again he was blown for his low-level mistakes, and the players on the sidelines and several other personnel could clearly see Zhuo's interesting facial changes, first of all, his eyebrows were straight, but he reluctantly handed the ball to Tian Jianzhong, who served as the referee; Even though his eyes were straight, the look in his eyes seemed to be aggrieved and innocent, he shook his head helplessly and handed the ball to the referee Tian Jianzhong; And the last time I finally couldn't hold it back, my cheeks bulged instantly, and a strange cry: "Oh my God, it won't be!" Why am I the one who is punished every time? Then he threw the ball to the floor, and the ball seemed to be unwilling to be Zhuo's punching bag and then violently counterattacked Zhuo's chin in the opposite direction. Tong! With a bang, Zhuo Ke fell to the ground, and the ball actually fell into the hands of referee Tian Jianzhong again.

Zhuo's clumsy performance drew laughter from the rest of the Lanmeng Boys on the sidelines, and Peng Chenzhi won the match in the end.

The grizzled Zhuo returned to the sidelines to rest, and Xiaoxue hurriedly handed over a clean towel: "It doesn't matter!"

Zhuo, there will be so many opportunities in the future! And geniuses sometimes make mistakes! ”

Zhuo lowered his head and took the towel, looked at the face and sat on the chair and leaned back, in fact, he had a strong self-esteem, he didn't want others to see his frustration and embarrassment. Thinking of this, Xiaoxue clenched her hand and put it in front of her nose and grinned, and turned to greet the other team members.

"Xia Jun, you did a good job just now! Your shot really isn't covered! Fang Wenxin slapped Xia Jun's arm with a towel.

Xia Jun, who was overwhelmed by the photo, snorted his scalp: "Ah! Is it? I think it's okay! ”

Fang Wenxin turned around, but saw Chi Shengwei, who had just lost to Xia Jun in the game: "Shengwei, you have to come on!" In fact, you're only a little bit away from winning Xia Jun! But the difference is that she didn't whip Chi Shengwei with a towel.

"Oh!" Sheng Wei answered, took a towel and sat down quietly on the side.

"Bang Bang!" Li Xiaolong's applause broke the silence on the sidelines.

"Everybody's performance was good, everybody showed their good form, which added to my confidence in Siyuan's success in the semi-finals. So what's going on in your hearts? Tell me if it's okay! ”

"Are you confident of winning?"

"Yes!"

"Do you have confidence in beating your opponent?"

"Yes!"

"Are you confident of qualifying?"

"Yes!"

The gymnasium was full of confident and loud slogans from the players.

At the same time, Tian Jianzhong also posted a schedule of matches for the top four: the first battle against Huili High School, the second battle against Guangming High School, and finally against last year's champion Nanyang High School.

"Everybody, come here!" Tian Jianzhong waved to the team members after posting on the side, like a big brother.

The players who heard the greeting gathered around the assistant coach and naturally lined up to listen to the coach's analysis of their opponents.

"Whaley High School, one of last year's semi-finals, has two excellent interior players in the team, Lei Kefeng and Shirakawa, and their height is even more outstanding in high school basketball, 1.98 meters and 1.95 meters. Lei Kefeng has a weight of more than 100 kilograms, an unusually strong physique, sufficient strength, strong explosiveness, strong offense under the basket, and rebounding are his forte. Shirakawa is thin but delicate, with the height of a center and the flexibility of a guard and excellent ball control, any position within 4 meters of the hoop is an excellent position for him to shoot, and he can accurately judge the timing of the opponent's shot, giving the opponent a big hat. Their interior line will be the strongest of our three opponents. ”

"Let me tell you a story about Lei Kefeng!" A voice interrupted Tian Jianzhong's explanation.

The speaker is Fang Wenxin: "Lan Mengjung participated in the city's 'Nike Wind and Thunder 3-on-3' competition last year, and it was in the third round that they were defeated by their Xiang Eagles. And as far as I know, in the preliminaries, Lei Kefeng once set a perverted triple-double record of 30 frontcourt rebounds and 10 blocks in a game, scoring 30 points.

And when he was in junior high school, because of his outstanding height, strong physique, and amazing explosiveness, he was favored by several junior sports schools and Nanyang High School, a famous basketball school, but his character was too poor, and he was finally given up by the schools mentioned above because of a fight and brawl in the third year of junior high school, saying that it was a brawl, but the fact is that Lei Kefeng faced 8 people alone! ”

"One against eight!" Everyone present was shocked by the number.

"That's right! But guess what the end result is: 8 young people in their 20s, 1 dislocated arm, 2 broken ribs, 1 lower forehead displacement, and the other four were also injured to varying degrees. In the end, the five people were taken to the hospital, and Lei Kefeng only had some minor injuries to his forehead, in addition to the loss of two front teeth. ”

Fang Wenxin glanced around, and all he saw was the surprised expressions of the team members, and he sank his face and continued: "To put it simply, Lei Kefeng is the kind of pure strength player, he is the kind of super brute force monster that is rare in a century, the players who defend him are either dead or injured, and they must be ready to resist his iron elbow at all times, even if it is the lightest, they have to bear the danger of losing their front teeth, so ......"

"Eldest sister, how can it be so exaggerated, we are not participating in professional wrestling?"

"Ahh It's a bit too much, but Zhuo you really have to be careful when defending him! Fang Wenxin patted the big man in front of him with concern.

"Then there's Shirakawa, who came to prominence when he was a freshman in high school, and was nicknamed Feng in the Shanghai high school basketball community. His erratic movements are often silent on the pitch, but they have a crucial impact on the game. ”

"Similarly, in junior high school, because of his tall figure, he was also favored by many junior sports schools, but in the end, the reason why he didn't go seems to be because of bad character."

"But it doesn't look like it on the surface!"

"Do you understand the truth that people should not look good!"

"If you only have these two people, at best, Hyeri will only be in the top 16 or eight, but because of the existence of one person, Hyeri will eventually make it to the top four and even challenge for the championship." Fang Wenxin continued: "That person is Mu Zheng, Huili's leading point guard, in the city, along with Luo Hongtian of Guangming and Zhang Qiyi of Nanyang, he is known as the three major point guards in the Shanghai high school basketball world in recent years. ”

"The biggest characteristic of this person is that as a point guard, he can complete the team's playmaking offense, and at the same time, he can directly confront the opponent's power forward and center on the inside, and he is not at all at a disadvantage."

"Someone once made such an analogy: Zhang Qiyi is a general star who can score and command the whole team, Luo Hongtian is a selfless player who gives scoring opportunities to his teammates, and Renxing who only stands up when he needs himself, while Mu Zheng regards scoring as an attack on the city, a confusing star who will do anything to destroy the opponent and win in the game."

"Confused stars? Wouldn't that be too much of an analogy? Xia Jun frowned.

"One was given up by the Major Colonel because of a fight, one also flowed into Hyeri for unknown reasons, and there is a confused star who will do anything to achieve victory, it seems that Hyeri is really a veritable army of bad boys!" Fang Wenxin said. "Looking back at the past, Hyley was indeed just an ordinary strong team, but by mistake, these three people suddenly became the top team in the city."

"In the first game against Hyeri, we had to be aware of any situation that might arise and be aware of the opportunity and not let some unexpected circumstances affect our emotions." Tian Jianzhong is indeed not wrong, in the game, there are often many things that are unpredictable in addition to the strength of the team itself, and dealing with this kind of emergency is also a test for the players, and emotions are often an important factor that affects the outcome of the game.

A discussion in the Siyuan Gymnasium gradually opened the prelude to the semi-finals, although there was the experience of facing the Xiangying in the Nike Wind and Thunder three against the three middle school Lan Mengjung, and Siyuan regretted losing to the city's runner-up Guangming's record, and then there was the life and death experience of pulling the team back from the death line at the last moment. But entering the Final Four, the teenagers may have to face more challenges and experiences than they could have imagined.
