On May 14, the competition officially kicked off. In order to make the strong teams not meet prematurely, the organizing committee of the competition decided to adopt the seed team system at the suggestion of Mr. Zhao, the seed team is voted by the students and physical education teachers, 92 high school teams are divided into a total of 16 groups from A to O group, the "Lan Meng Youth" team is also listed as a seeded team, but the ranking is not high as the No. 12 seed, was divided into Group H, in addition to them, the remaining five teams in the same group have two high school teams, two high school teams, and a high school team, and the grouping form is not bad.

After two weeks of preliminaries, 16 teams including "Lan Meng Boy" stood out, and most of the remaining fifteen teams were quite familiar with "Lan Meng Boy", including Li Tianfang, the opponent of Xia Jun's debut game. But there are also two or three teams, and Li Xin and others have never played against each other, it seems that they are all teams in the third year of high school, because they are busy studying and have not moved before? Anyway, as a senior team in the finals, the strength is absolutely not to be underestimated. Based on the results of the group stage and the previous seeding rankings, 16 teams were re-ranked, and thanks to the excellent performance in the preliminary round, "Lan Meng Junior" was ranked as the No. 7 seed, which is quite a bit higher. Being in the top eight, you can get some advantage in the game. But even in the rematch, every game should not be underestimated, and every opponent should not be taken lightly. With this belief, "Lan Meng Boy" crossed the first hurdle and entered the top eight, and judging from the score of the game, it is still difficult for the teenager to become the champion.

"4:3, it's dangerous. After all, the opponent is a senior in the third year of high school, which is really not simple. Chi Shengwei said.

Xia Jun added: "The opponent is only the No. 9 seed, and if we meet the top three seed, we may have been eliminated. ”

"Maybe we were all naïve before, the championship is not so easy to get! The other party is a senior in the second and third years of high school! ”

"Hehe, it's not a big deal, with a perfect combination like ours, it's only a matter of time before we win the championship, don't forget that the other party is older than us!" Zhuo had different opinions, but the other three did not dare to agree, and a drop of cold sweat oozed from their heads.

Although the four of them are from the three classes of the first year of high school, this does not prevent the students of the three classes from cheering for the "Lanmeng Boy" together. Since only this team of the three classes persisted to the semi-finals, and as the only top 16 team in the first year of high school, the first year of high school formed a joint cheerleading team to cheer for the "Lanmeng Boy", and the momentum is incomparable to the support of any other team. This boosted the confidence and determination of the four to win the championship.

What's more, he has almost become a fan of "Lan Meng Boy". This can't fail to mention Ouyang Chi, Ouyang is a four-eyed brother in Zhuo's class, from the bridge of the nose, you can know that Ouyang is a "good boy who loves science", and his love for science makes Ouyang quite involved in anything he is interested in, and he has made detailed records of the group of "Lan Meng Boy" and the first semi-match, and it can be seen that he still has put a lot of effort into the study of basketball.

The day after the match, Chi handed the record to Zhuo and asked to call the other three to study the gains and losses of the match. Soon Zhuo summoned the three of them.

"Ouyang, say it!" Zhuo Dao.

Ouyang Chi said: "The statistics of our game in this game have come out. After speaking, Ouyang Chi took out a piece of paper from his pocket, spread it out and saw that the detailed technical statistics of the two teams had almost caught up with the NBA game statistics.

"We lead in rebounds, assists, blocks, and shots."

"No, no, it's clear that we are ahead of them by our mistakes!"

"Stupid, can this be called a lead?" Xia punched Xiang Zhuo.

“……”

"It's true that we made a little more mistakes in the game, and we also had the first shooting percentage, which is our shortcoming."

"Xiaoxin is right, too many mistakes directly led to the loss of our possession, if it weren't for the advantage in rebounding, maybe this game would have been lost."

"Ouyang, this is all my credit, you have to be impressed with me!"

The rest of the four are sweating!

Ouyang continued to analyze: "There is also to improve the shooting rate, although we hit four three-pointers, and the opponent did not have one, almost all of their offense is achieved by inside offense to ensure a high shooting rate. If we can reach the same 50% of the opponent, then we can beat the opponent by more than 15 points, and then we can count it as a complete victory. So improving the two-point shooting percentage and reducing turnovers in the next game is a top priority. We can see what the specific reasons for the mistake are......"

The love of basketball among the teenagers has led to a far more rigorous attitude towards the game than anything else. What reason do we have to suspect that the teenagers might actually make a splash?

Three days later, the first round of the semi-finals was over. The results will be announced by the school's radio and blackboard newspapers, and the results are as follows:

(5) Dream Broken Basket Bridge Team 4:1 Dugu Defeat Team (12)

(4) Getaway Team 4:3X-RAY Team (13)

(7) "Lanmeng Youth" team 4:2 basketball fighters (10)

(2) Slam Dunk 4:0 Siyuan Overlord (15)

(11) Winged Eagles 4:3 Lonely Punk (6)

(3) Royal Basket Walk Team 4:2 Basket Surplus Team (14)

(9) Sky Dome No. 1 Team 4:2 Gale Team (8)

(1) Air Rover Team 4:0 New Century Team (16)

Judging from the scoreline, the teams that entered the semi-finals were not idle. The most surprising was the match between the No. 1 seed Air Rover and the New Century team, the Air Rover not only swept the opponent 4-0, but also did not let the opponent exceed 3 points in each game. I have to admire their strength, and what is even more surprising is that they are not juniors in high school, they are only sophomores in high school.

"It's amazing, more than twice as many points as the other side. Who are they, why I never knew there was such a great team in the sophomore year. Lian Zhuo couldn't stop sighing.

Xia Jun beside him said: "And they are still the number one seed, and their strength is indeed not to be underestimated." ”

"It's a pity I didn't go to see this game."

"The other party may be a master who has been hidden all along! We're going to keep an eye on their game next. ”

"Our next opponent is the second seed!"

"I've been listening to Li Tianfang say that 'Slam Dunk Angry Song' is a strong opponent on par with them, and it's interesting now."

"It's exciting to think about, isn't it? To be able to meet a strong opponent like Li Tianfang and them in an official match. ”

"Speaking of which, we still have fewer wins and more losses in the game with Brother Tianfang, can we win the next game?"

"It's good to have some confidence in ourselves, we are younger than them!"

“……”

In order to know more about the opponent's situation, the four people of "Lan Meng Boy" found Li Tianfang and others to ask about some "Slam Dunk Angry Song".

"'Slam Dunk Furious Song'! They're not easy. Although the strength is on par with us, maybe it is better than us. ”

"Do you remember the NBA Western Conference Finals a few years ago?"

The crowd shook their heads.

"Oh, I forgot you were less than ten years old!"

The four of them were angry, and Li Tian hurriedly shook his hand to signal that he had lost his words.

"If our advantage is that the interior is like the twin towers of the San Antonio Spurs at that time, then they are the Los Angeles Lakers, not only have an absolute main force on the inside, but also have good candidates on the outside and the organization. There are a lot of offensive points, and it is difficult to entangle, so you have to be prepared to fight a long battle against them. ”

"Let's talk about their players and their usual style of play!"

"Their interior center is called Shi Jingyong, who is 191cm tall and weighs 92 kg, is quite strong, rebounds, cards, and blocks are all very good, but his scoring ability is slightly inferior. It's mostly from the outside, but don't assume he can't score, but if you manage to keep him out of the three-second zone, he's not going to be able to do anything. ”

"Their organization is called Ling Junxiao, 174cm, weighs 65 kg, don't think that he is not tall and ignore his defense, his existence is the real horror of "Slam Dunk Angry Song", his speed is extremely fast, to tell you a secret, there are the first two school sports meetings he participated in, he won a first in the 100-meter race, a second, 100-meter score of 11.2 seconds, and his ball control is not to say, I almost doubt that he can shoot basketball commercials, many novices don't say that they defend him, Just looking at his dribbling is already dazzling. But I'll tell you a secret, he has a dense weakness, he is left-handed, and the last breakthrough is usually on the left, if you defend face-to-face, remember to block your right side, and his passing, which is extremely hidden, what kind of back pass, crotch pass, hand pass can not be difficult for him. The only way to defend it is to play with the spirit of 12 points, always watch his every move, and think about what he will do next. ”

"Finally, their main scorer Zhang Jinfeng, who is 181 tall and weighs 76 kilograms, his three-point shot is average, and he is definitely not comparable to our Xia Xiaodi."

Li Tianfang looked at Xia Jun with a happy face.

"But the most terrifying thing is his mid-range shooting and breakthrough, which is very difficult to defend against with Ling Junxiao on the left and right, and his skills are also very comprehensive, and he can even swap positions with Ling Junxiao, making the opponent unguardable."

"On the bench, I don't know who they're going to pick. Adapt when the time comes! ”

"Okay, that's all I have to say. In my opinion, you probably have better physical strength than them, you can use tight man-to-man defence in the game, the tighter the marking, the better, and if you succeed in that, then here's your chance. Zhuo Yifan defended Shi Jingyong, and he must resist Shi Jingyong. Li Xin defends Ling Junxiao, Xia Jun defends Zhang Jinfeng, I think it's better. ”

"Thank you, your words are so important to us."

"Brother Li, then let's go."

"Let's go, if you win, remember to have a treat!"

On June 2nd, "Lan Meng Junior" ushered in the second rematch, and the opponent was the second seed "Slam Dunk Fury" team, and they are also one of the favorites to win the tournament after the air rover.
