The home-and-away knockout game has been played 3/4, and Siyuan still has a 13-point advantage. But the other team in Shanghai was far from so lucky. The first away game lost 28 points, although this day was the most difficult at home, but it must be quite difficult to recover the disadvantage.

At the end of January, Shanghai has just passed the Spring Festival, and it is still in the Spring Festival holiday, although the weather has passed the coldest stage, but it is still cold on the road. The same as the weather in Shanghai is the current form that Nanyang is facing:

Although the away team trailed by 28 points, the home games of this traditional powerhouse of Shanghai high school basketball still attracted a considerable audience to cheer. With the same beliefs as the fans of Dongguan High School, how could this winning team be eliminated by an unknown team? The last game must be Nanyang away from home, Jilin, the temperature is more than ten or twenty degrees below zero, how can the team play at the level? Back at home, with everyone's support, as long as the team plays at a normal level, I believe there is still a chance.

At the beginning of the first half, the two teams held each other for a long time, and after 7 minutes, finally, as the audience expected, Nanyang's star guard Zhang Qiyi broke off and shot, scoring 10 points in a row, leading the team to a 11:0 small climax. With a 14-point lead over his opponent, the applause on the pitch continued. The audience seemed to have seen the dawn of the team's turnaround, but Cheng Si of Jilin Jida High School made all the fans present remember his name.

Opposite him is Zhang Qiyi, a well-known figure in the national high school basketball arena, and the starting playmaker of the Southern Stars team in last year's National High School All-Star Game. It was in the face of this high school superstar-level player that Cheng Si's composure and super defensive ability made people have to marvel that he was only a sophomore in high school. Over time, he is definitely a superstar in high school basketball.

Zhang Qiyi's consecutive ten points became his swan song in the first half, Cheng Si interrupted the ball from Zhang Qiyi's hand 4 times, assisted 7 times in a row, and helped his teammates score 18 points. His teammates are also unknown players, at least far less famous than Nanyang's "Iron Triangle" Zhang Qiyi, Mo Wenke, and Xu Zhenyu.

Luo Jianxing is a big forward with a strong physique, explosiveness, and momentum. With a body of 195cm and 97kg, he is not at a disadvantage against any interior player. Rebounding is his forte, in the national famous "XX High School Basketball" magazine in the latest issue of the national high school league individual technical statistics list is his average of 19.5 rebounds per game, far ahead of last year's stunner Dongguan Middle School star forward Qian Haiyue and Beijing Sports University High School has the highest altitude of the young center Li Mengzhou. The average of nine offensive rebounds per game is unmatched.

Jiang Chao, although he is only 184cm tall, is quite comprehensive as a small forward, and his instant start speed is very fast. He doesn't have the ability of many small forwards in high school to shoot three-pointers from the outside, nor does he have the ability to eat hard under the basket like Qian Haiyue and Qiu Zhebo. But his scoring ability is simple and practical, with mid-range shots and breaks, quick counterattacks, and only a handful of players who can catch up with him. If he is given a shot in any area within 5 meters of the hoop, his shooting percentage will frustrate the opponent to death.

He Guangwei, in today's high school basketball world, which is getting taller and taller, his height of 178cm is not remarkable at all, and his long-range shooting is not outstanding, and he can maintain an average shooting rate of about 30%. I'm afraid that my one-on-one defensive ability can't deal with players like Jiang Chengyi and Han Chongyu. But his breakthrough ability has become his strongest scoring method, and it is no exaggeration to say that Kobe, James, McGretery, and Iverson in the NBA basketball world can complete any breakthrough layup. In Jilin, he has the title of "Little Answer".

It must also be mentioned that their center, Sin Shu Zhang, nicknamed "Sin Tai Shu", as long as he stands under the basket, the 202cm, 105kg physique is a shock to anyone. His excellent defensive ability, together with Luo Jianxing, has become the most powerful defensive barrier in Jida Attached, in addition, as the center's best hook hand and basket scoring ability, he is also unambiguous, the disadvantage is that he is slow, the blocking ability is slightly insufficient, and the ball is sometimes not very stable, and it is easy to be cut off by the opponent. In that wave of 11:0 offensive, Nanyang also interrupted the ball from his hand many times. After that, the Jilin team replaced their 196cm substitute center Yuan Dongsheng, and Nanyang's fast attack could not succeed again.

Yuan Dongsheng, a typical Northeast strong guy, although only 17 years old, but people are easily associated with the appearance of the "Northeast man", he is full of momentum, strong desire to perform, slam dunk and block is his biggest hobby on the basketball court, what back buckle, big windmill, tomahawk, 180 degrees, air change of hand buckle, are his forte, and even can be buckled by others. Nicknamed "Dunk Machine". As a substitute for Xian Shuzhang and Luo Jianxing, the center and power forward can be competent, and he is the team's "sixth man".

In addition, Li Tianming, as a substitute for He Guangwei and Jiang Chao, can play small forward and scoring guard, with a height of 188cm, which makes up for the lack of height of these two, but the scoring ability is slightly lacking. Defensive player.

If it is placed in other teams, then the substitute playmaker Oudemeng of Jida High School is undoubtedly an excellent playmaker with his assist ability and running ability. But because of Cheng Si's existence, he can only be a substitute so far.

It's such a team, except for the organization of defender Cheng Si, they can't be called star-level players, they don't have comprehensive skills, but everyone's cooperation complements each other, and the technology complements each other, like a part of a machine, very ordinary, but the combination of their duties can make the strongest engine.

When this engine starts at full speed, the burst of energy will be amazing.

was broken by Cheng Si four times in a row, and the score was chased back by the opponent by 7 points, Zhang Qiyi lost all his face, and a drum of anger began to burn in his heart, vowing to suppress the opponent with all his might.

Zhang Qiyi singled out Cheng Si, he was completely dominant physically, but he just couldn't find a good scoring opportunity, Cheng Si's perfect personal close defense, making Zhang Qiyi's offense feel more difficult.

"This guy! The defensive ability is really super strong! Zhang Qiyi was almost at a loss.

Zhang Qiyi took the ball with his back to Cheng Si, and the heads of the two were very close to each other, "Today I will do my best to suppress your score." That's the end of your score in the first half. Cheng Si whispered in Zhang Qiyi's ear.

"Joke!" Zhang Qiyi didn't say much, just showed disdain for Cheng Si's words, and then turned around, took a step back, left Cheng Si's position, stretched out his hand and was about to shoot, but suddenly changed his hand and passed the ball behind Cheng Si. This action was very stealthy, and even escaped the eyes of his teammates, but in the end, he couldn't escape Cheng Si's eyes.

The eye is fast, that is, almost at the same time as Zhang Qiyi changed his hand, Cheng Si has also reacted, stretched out his hand to the ball, slapped it, and at the same time changed hands, he had already turned most of his body, and together with the players, he launched a fast attack.

The ball was cut off for the fifth time, and the fans began to cheer. Nanyang head coach Mok Chung Yan was well aware of the heavy pressure his team was under, and asked for a timeout.

The score chased to only 5 points, and the total score has a huge advantage of 23 points, everyone in Jida High School seems very relaxed, just like their coach Yang Weinian taught the players the same idea: put down the burden, play their usual level on it, this year is already our best results, every step is a breakthrough, of course it is best to continue to move forward, it doesn't matter, the current results are enough to explain to the old folks.

Mo Zhongyan was not usually serious, and said with a relaxed expression: "Everyone is tired, please close your eyes for half a minute and recall our usual training." ”

After 30 seconds, the team members all opened their eyes, and their faces were full of pain, "How is it?" It's scary to think about, isn't it? ”

The team members nodded in unison, "Then think about the situation when we won the championship in Shanghai and reached the national semi-finals all the way last year." ”

"How? Isn't it exciting to get the championship and the honor? The team members nodded in unison.

"That's right, the so-called hard work, a harvest, don't pay too much attention to the score, as long as you understand that you have put in so much effort, as long as you go all out during the competition, then you will definitely be able to gain."

"Well, I don't have much to say about tactically, just cut off the passing routes of the opposing defenders and play with a trap when defending. Watch out for his broken balls. ”

"Let's play, so many fans are watching, don't let them down."

Mo Zhongyan didn't say that sentence: "It doesn't matter if the score is so far behind." There's still time to catch it up. "Because he himself is not sure whether such a big gap can be recovered in more than 20 minutes. What can be done now is to reduce the mental baggage of the players.

Nanyang's performance improved after the pause, Zhang Qiyi did not give Cheng Si a chance to break the ball and attack quickly, and in turn, Cheng Si did not give Zhang Qiyi a chance to score, and the performance of the two can be regarded as half a catty.

With the support of the fans, Nanyang played a wave of 9:2 at the end of the first half, and opened the score to 12 points to end the first half of the game.

In the lounge of Dongguan Gymnasium in Guangdong, thousands of miles away, the players of Siyuan Middle School, who equalized at the last moment of the first half, looked full of confidence. If we maintain this form in the second half of the first half and win against Dongguan Middle School, then it is only a matter of time.

Assuming that it is hypothetical, Dongguan Middle School is not an ordinary team after all, not to mention that it is still away, how to arrange the second half, and we have to listen to the arrangement and deployment of Coach Li Xiaolong:

"Everyone played beautifully in the final stages of the first half, and although there were unexpected circumstances, everyone withstood the pressure and kept the fight strong on the field to equalize the score. But in the second half, everyone must still pay attention to the offense of Song Cheng and Song Gong brothers, judging from today's game, although the three-point shooting is much less than the last game, they also have many other offensive means. The core of the most national powerhouse must not be taken lightly. ”

The team members listened very carefully, and Xiaoxue and Fang Wenxin gently handed hot water and towels to each of the team members one by one.

"In addition, we should pay attention to controlling rebounds and strengthening the grabbing of rebounds in the front court, we were passive at the beginning because after the shot was missed, there was no rebounding in the front court, and there was a lack of secondary offense. The main thing is this, beware of these, and believe that victory will definitely be ours. ”

Xiaoxue raised her wrist and looked at her watch: "The second half is about to start, everyone come around to refuel together." ”

"Good! One or two! ”

"Siyuan!"

"Victory!!"

After wiping off a handful of sweat, the rest of the team members got up and left the lounge to enter the competition venue, only Li Xin was stopped by Li Xiaolong:

"Kid, come here!"

"Me?" Li Xin pointed to herself, a little surprised, why did her father call herself like this today, in the basketball team before, as the head coach of the basketball team, her father had never called herself like this.

"What's the matter? …… Coach" Li Xin retracted the word "dad" halfway through the speech, and changed his words to coach.

"I still have some tactical arrangements to tell you."

"Oh!" Li Xiaolong's tone is very tactful and kind, like a father, and at the same time his own head coach. To be both a member of the team of such a person and a son of him. And thinking back to the help of Zhou Junyi, Xiaoxue, Zhuo Yifan and others in the past year, I learned to be considerate, not to be capricious, and gradually learned how to get along with others, and began to play an increasingly important role in the team, and the relationship with my father has changed from the original tension to the current harmony, Li Xin really feels very lucky.

"You should be able to guess what I'm going to say, right?"

"Do you want to say that the fateful second half of the game will not be as easy as the first half, and the opponent will definitely use all the solutions."

"Hmmm! They don't want to lose their chances at home and I think they're going to do a couple of things in the second half and you have to remind your team-mates to be careful. ”

"Good!"

"The opponent is a regular in the national league and has more experience in the tournament than us, so you have to be careless in the second half and be careful with some key balls. I think with your qualifications, you should be able to do it. Secondly, you have also seen the home advantage of the opponent, concentrate in the game and try not to be disturbed from outside the field. There are also opponents who will think that you are a newcomer and will pressure you more, forcing you to make mistakes in qualifying, and even lose control of your emotions, you have to control yourself on the field. In the end, we need to save our physical strength and reduce the number of fouls, our bench is still relatively weak, and we still have to rely on you on the court. Got it? ”

"Well, I remember it all, Dad." This time, Li Xin unconsciously blurted out her father, and she didn't even notice it.

After wiping the sweat on his forehead with a towel, he handed the towel to Xiaoxue's hand who came up, and the moment the two of them touched each other, Li Xin suddenly clenched Xiaoxue's hands: "Don't worry, even if I ensure the qualification in the end, I must win this game." This is an agreement between us. ”

Xiaoxue blinked her big eyes, first startled by Li Xin's movements, and then showed a girl's bright smile and said "um" deeply.

Li Xin's index finger curled into a hook and scratched Xiaoxue's nose, and also showed a bright smile of a young man, turned around and rushed into the gymnasium.
