Shan Yu closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the dressing market of the home team of the Luwan Gymnasium, the room was quiet, Shan Yu leaned there motionless like a stone statue.

This is a quirk habit of Shan Yu for many years, and five hours before the game, he will come to the match venue early, and then sit in the locker room and lie quietly for a while.

During this time, Shan Yu will have plenty of time to think through every detail clearly, and filter through the characteristics and shortcomings of each opponent he is about to face. Remembering the tactics that are about to unfold, how to face the opponent's fast attack, and how to tear apart the opponent's defense.

All this quietly flowed through Shan Yu's mind, he liked this feeling very much, as if the whole world was under his control, he believed that he could control everything on the court.

Then he will take the ball, first go to the court that has not yet been opened to the outside world, and the audience has not yet entered the field, a person, practice the ball first, this is not only a warm-up, but more importantly, it is Shan Yu's relaxed adjustment of his state, which is a unique warm-up method! Shan Yu is regulating her breathing, adjusting her muscle relaxation, and adjusting her every motor nerve, so that every sense of her body is beginning to enter the world of basketball.

If you are on the side, you will find that Shan Yu's shots are getting faster and faster, and the hit rate will be higher and higher. Sometimes, when a person practices the ball, because the ball thrown out can only be picked by himself, in the process of shooting, and then picking the ball, the physical strength and state consumed will be shown to be tight and loose, and it is difficult to achieve the effect of warm-up.

But Shan Yu is different from others, what he needs is really like this. Throw the ball, if it doesn't go in, he will run in an imaginary roundabout way in the direction where the ball fell, then bend down to hold the ball, and then shoot immediately, no matter what angle, Shan Yu likes the taste of catching the ball and shooting.

Shan Yu was running, and after all this time, he still maintained a relatively normal physical strength, which was inseparable from his unique training method.

Suddenly, Shan Yu stopped, already held above his head, his hands holding the ball fixed there, Shan Yu stared at the basket in the distance, suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and with a slight flick, he watched the tumbling basketball fall to the basket.

"Brush!"

"Let it all begin! Whether it's from the south or from the north, when I come to Shanghai, I'm the master! Shan Yu said to himself lightly, at this time, his expression suddenly seemed to be a different person, and a smile began to bloom on his face, but this smile looked really cold.

At the entrance gate of Block F of the high stands, an old man had been watching for a long time, and when he saw Shan Yu throw the last ball, a standard, almost slow-motion ball, the old man smiled slightly and quietly stepped out of the gate.

It seems that everyone is ready!

On the way to Luwan Stadium, the atmosphere of the whole car was a little different from the past, everyone didn't speak, a little stared out of the window and didn't know what they were looking at, some closed their eyes and recuperated, but they didn't know what they were thinking, Shang Lin lit a cigarette for himself, and handed it to Wang Xuechao, but Wang Xuechao didn't answer, shook his hand, frowned slightly, and looked at his feet with his eyelids down.

"What? Starting to nervously pull? Shang Lin quipped.

Wang Xuechao smiled reluctantly and sat there without denying it.

"I'm nervous too!" Shang Lin said lightly.

Wang Xuechao paused, and said in disbelief: "Are you also nervous?" ”

"What? Can't I just be nervous? Shang Lin said with a smile.

"Then what are you nervous about?"

"Nervous, this group of rabbit cubs is all stage frightened, then it's over!" Shang Lin Road.

Wang Xuechao smiled and said: "It's all this time, you still have the heart to joke!" ”

"For those of us who coach, every game is a journey, we're experimenting with our tactics to see if it's true, isn't there a saying? The tactics are played, and it doesn't matter if you don't score! Even if we don't win the game, we are considered to have won, but we are afraid that because of the wrong tactics, we will lose the whole game, then we will bear a big responsibility! Shang Lin said meaningfully.

Wang Xuechao fell into deep thought, he used to be a coach, he never thought about it so much, what he thought, put it on the field, whether it is useful or not, never took it into account, more, just a kind of incidental, in his heart, the player, is the key to winning, and himself, at most, is a stable effect of the army's heart, not to mention, tactics are just a scoring method, no matter which can be scored, but never thought about whether he can restrain the other party or score more points.

"Lao Wang, is there any pre-game news from Nanyang?" Shang Lin interrupted Wang Xuechao's thoughts and asked.

Wang Xuechao recovered, thought about it, and said: "It's nothing, it's just that the day before yesterday, Nanyang's head coach Feng Degang was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty scale, and hoped that the Football Committee would pay attention to this issue, saying that although it is a high school league, players should also be trained to change to professionalism, and so on." ”

Shang Lin was suddenly curious: "What does he mean by this?" ”

"I don't know, at this time, it seems that it is a bit undesirable to suddenly provoke the referees!"

Shang Lin nodded, in the United States, whoever dares to provoke the referee will have good fruit to eat, and the referee will definitely discipline your team harshly and misjudge a few times in the game, which is completely a matter of course. I just don't know if it will be the same fate in China.

"Anything else?" Shang Lin thought about it, and couldn't understand the purpose of his opponent's move at all, so he asked again.

"There are no others!" Wang Xuechao shook his head.

Shang Lin was a little nervous, after all, this is the final, he doesn't believe that the opponent has no tricks, the game is like a battlefield, any trick is normal, even if it is to hurt the main players to achieve the goal, it is not a big crime, of course, if such a thing really happens, the Football Committee will definitely check the video repeatedly, if it is deliberate, the punishment is very serious, so, Shang Lin is not very worried about this aspect of things.

Taking out the information of Nanyang's head coach from his bag, Shang Lin read it again.

"This old man is certainly not simple, just a person in his sixties, and so enthusiastic to participate in training, increase knowledge about basketball, and at the same time always understand and learn the latest basketball development trends, if there are no tricks, I definitely don't believe it.

Could it be that this old man is a very decent man who only wants to overwhelm his opponents on the court? Shang Lin had no choice but to think like this.

Just when Shang Lin was thinking hard, Yan Yufeng, who had been sitting there to recuperate, was suddenly pushed down by the plateau next to him, opened his eyes, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Gao Yuan looked at Yan Yufeng, who had a calm face, and said embarrassedly: "I'm nervous!" ”

Yan Yufeng was not surprised, and said, "I'm nervous too!" ”

"You're nervous too!" This time it was Gao Yuan's turn to be surprised, just now I always felt that Yan Yufeng was the same as someone who was fine, as if he was not going to participate in the finals now, but to travel somewhere.

"Of course nervous, it's useless to just think about it, when doing things, the most taboo thing is to look ahead and backward, I think, everyone is nervous, it's not because they're all at the last step, worried that the previous efforts will be lost, you say yes!" Yan Yufeng said.

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "I thought about this question last night, we went through so many difficulties, and finally survived and entered Shanghai, so I was worried about what to do if we lost here?" That means we don't really get anything! ”

Yan Yufeng sighed, if he loses to Nanyang, it is equivalent to the fourth place, and the fourth place is nothing, this is known to everyone, and it is no wonder that everyone is so nervous, sometimes, there is a physical reward, it is always better than a false name!

The fourth place in the country, and the runner-up in the country, is really a big gap.

"So I'm nervous!" Gao Yuan sighed.

"Hey, how can this be!" Yan Yufeng suddenly slapped the plateau loudly, which also attracted the attention of the whole car, Yan Yufeng cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Why is there no one in the car who speaks, don't tell me, you are all scared!" ”

The atmosphere of the whole car was condensed, and Ye Changfeng, who was sitting in the front row, was first dissatisfied: "Funny, I'm listening to the song, what are you afraid of!" ”

"That's it, I'm thinking about where we should go in Shanghai to celebrate after winning the game!" Wang Zhiquan immediately shouted.

"That's it, that's it, who's scared!" The whole team shouted loudly.

Yan Yufeng smiled, raised his hand, and said, "Let's sing a song!" ”

"Good!" Zhai Yong Longguang immediately agreed.

"What song do you sing?" Dazhu then asked.

"True heroes!" Qin Lan suddenly proposed.

"Good!" Yan Yufeng immediately agreed when he thought about it.

Everyone immediately roared and sang under the drive of Qin Lan's crisp and melodious singing, and as the only tension in everyone's hearts disappeared with the singing, they were not afraid of the strong enemy they were about to face, nor were they thinking about what the future would be, they put down their burdens, then, it meant that their enemies were going to be in trouble.

※

It was ten o'clock in the afternoon.

Luwan Stadium.

As the home of the Shanghai Oriental team, the hardware facilities are not bad, and in 2004 as the home of the preseason game of the Rockets in China, it was renovated, it can be said that this is the second basketball stadium in Shanghai after the Shanghai Gymnasium.

More than 9,500 seats have been filled seven times now, which is just a high school basketball game, which is already good, of course, it should be noted that at least twenty percent of the audience here is from other places, they naturally came to Shanghai from all over Jiangsu, admiring Beiyang No. 12 Middle School.

This will be the home court for the four teams during the National Nike Cup High School Basketball Finals.

The final will be played in a best-of-five format, with one match every other day, and the full schedule will be completed in a maximum of 15 days.

According to the rules, Nanyang Model High School will first face Beiyang No. 12 Middle School, and then Yanjing No. 42 Middle School will face Shenyang No. 31 Middle School on the second day.

At this time, from the south entrance, a group of tall teenagers came in, almost at the same time as they entered, at the north entrance, a group of teenagers also walked in, they did not find each other, after finding their own seats for each other, a teenager on the side that came first found the group of people sitting opposite them.

"Uko! Yanjing's is also here! The one who spoke was a thin boy named Zhang Meng on the train.

Liu Xiaoyu raised his head when he heard this, looked at the teenagers who were still sitting down in a stadium away and directly opposite, sneered on his face, and said, "It's quite early!" ”

"It seems that their coach is also like our coach, and he is nervous!" Jin Dazhi, who was sitting behind Liu Xiaoyu, laughed.

"Humph!" Zhang Meng snorted and said, "I really don't know, let's come here to watch this boring game, what's the point, anyway, our North District wins!" ”

"You can't say that, whoever wins and who loses, it's not a good thing to make a conclusion now, since the coach let us watch the possible opponents in the future, it's also normal, anyway, don't waste any time, stay in the hotel, it's better to feel the atmosphere of the game first!" Liu Xiaoyu interrupted Mengzi's dissatisfaction and said.

Now that the captain has spoken, and his opponent has also come to watch the game, Zhang Meng also put aside his dissatisfaction for the time being and began to watch the court.

At this time, the stadium was still empty, just a few staff members walking back and forth, and of course, there was a team of fiery cheerleaders on the side of the court.

This is the NATT cheerleading team, which is one of the first groups in China to turn into professional cheerleaders, and they were invited to perform at the invitation of the organizer, Nike's branch in Asia.

Elin is the captain of the natt, and she is telling her teammates to wait for the performance, although everyone knows this very well, and there have been many rehearsals, but she still takes the trouble to continue to advise.

This time, they will have three three-minute performances, eight one-minute performances, and four one-minute performances that may be estimated, and the movements of these fifteen performances are all different, so it is very important for teammates to understand the next performance moves, of course, Yilin himself thinks that in a game like this for high school students, they should not perform more than ten times, and many times, the game will be very smooth, of course, the fluency here does not mean that the degree of excitement is very high.

For the NATT cheerleaders, who have been in CUBA and CBA for many years, this current game is just a small event.

"Sister Yi! It's almost time for us to play, and the musicians are already waving at us! As Yilin's assistant and the vice captain of NATT's team, Huaiyin gestured to Yilin.

"Well, get lined up, sisters, we're ready to play!" Yilin nodded steadily, and then instructed his teammates in a sensational tone.

"The cheerleaders are on display!" Ge Hui, who was waiting a little lonely, couldn't help but be excited when he saw a group of fiery girls rushing to the court under the DJ music that suddenly rose.

"Yes!" Han Shuo just nodded casually, but his eyes looked at the stands opposite, where his old teammate, Liu Xiaoyu, was sitting. As early as after he sat down, he saw that even if he was so far away, he could still vaguely see Liu Xiaoyu's arrogant face, and even the cold eyes that shot over, he could feel it.

"So you're here too!" Han Shuo chuckled. I have no opinion on the coach's arrangement, after all, it is very appropriate to take a look at the possible opponents in the future, but what I didn't expect was that I could meet my old enemies so soon.

Last year, it was also here, Liu Xiaoyu and himself, after four big battles, eliminated Yanjing No. 42 Middle School, of course, because of Ge Hui's accident in advance, resulting in No. 42 Middle School, the lack of internal firepower, so that Liu Xiaoyu's Shenyang No. 31 Middle School, which was crushed by himself, miraculously turned the tables and won the championship of the North District, and then easily won the Nanyang Model High School that won the championship of the South District at that time, and won the National Nike Cup High School Championship.

Han Shuo's unwillingness is known to the Jeonbuk District, and Liu Xiaoyu's unwillingness is even more known to the Jeonbuk District, one is because the best partner was injured and the opponent turned the tables, and the other is because he was suppressed by the opponent, and the whole team played well and won the victory and felt depressed that this victory was not really real.

For the two, re-contesting and competing with each other is the thing they desire the most in their hearts.

And this year, their wishes have been fulfilled, and it is also these two teams that have reached the finals of the North District, so in the North District, everyone's hot spots have risen all of a sudden, and some of the enthusiasm of the South District has also been attracted by such grievances.

"Wow, it looks like there are a lot of reporters today!" I don't know who sighed, Han Shuo woke up from his memories, took a closer look at the court, and found that there were indeed many reporters, and in his impression, there were more than last year's session.

It seems that the Nike Cup is getting more and more concerned.

Han Shuo thought so.

※

In the Nanyang locker room, Feng Degang was re-admonishing his tactics.

"In the first quarter, we played a 23-zone defensive formation, first consolidating the inside line, and then in the second half, following my instructions at any time, it became a 41-half-court marking formation.

Chen Ping, you focus on defending the opponent's No. 8, put him on the outside, when defending, you have to keep a distance from him, release gaps, induce him to burst inside, and then you have to sit down and attack.

Yuan Xing, when you and Chen Ping are defending, you have to swap positions, when defending, you come to be a big forward, after the 8th is put in, all you have to do is to sit on the top of the whole side, be sure to let the top be in front of him, and then make a foul! Feng Degang commanded.

"Got it, coach, I'm familiar with this set!" Yuan Xing said proudly.

"Yes! In the first quarter, make him a second foul, I don't need more, two times is enough, if you do more, the opponent will find out! Feng Degang said uneasily.

"Yes!" Yuan Xing nodded.

"Chengzong ran more in the first quarter, don't rush to shoot three points with the ball, pass the ball to the inside line more, so that your opponent will consciously put down the scale of defense a little back, so that you can have a chance to shoot, I don't want you more, in the first quarter, you can shoot 2, but I will give you a maximum of 4 shots!" Feng Degang said sternly.

Cheng Zong nodded with a serious expression, that is to say, he must sit until 50% of the hit rate, according to the old man's temper, if he shoots four times and has not scored 2, he will definitely be replaced, then, it means that he must seize the opportunity, not very sure, he must not shoot, this is what the old man really means.

"Long Wei, your effect on the inside line is still obvious, the opponent does not have a good inside height, so more often, you have to perform on offense, and try to put the opponent's attraction into the inside line, so that we have a chance!"

Feng Degang finally put his eyes on Shan Yu's body, and said slowly: "Shan Yu is in the first quarter, I don't ask for anything, just try to shoot as much as possible, this time, our firepower in the first quarter is more on paralyzing the opponent and protecting ourselves, so the task of chasing points will be handed over to Shan Yu!" ”

"Got it, Coach!" The whole team responded in unison.

"Yes! The opponent is a standard outside team, they have the speed, they have the shooter, they have the good small forward, so if we want to paralyze their offense, we have to paralyze the opponent first, so the main task in the first quarter is to '''''''''! Feng Degang took off his voice very long, suddenly clapped his hands on the stool, and said coldly: "Paralyzed No. 8!" ”

※

"Nanyang is a team that focuses on group offense, so we have to try to work defense, first do the defense in place, and then try to score offensively, in contrast, their defensive talent is very good, so I hope that everyone can first understand the characteristics of the opponent in terms of offense, and then look for flaws, and then counterattack in a big way, so our main task in the first quarter is to understand the opponent!" Speaking of this, Shang Lin waved his hand, and quickly drew five circles with a black colored pen on the large tactical board that was placed vertically, and these five circles were all placed on the five points outside the three-point line.

"In the first quarter, all five of you, don't go into the inside line, the big pillar goes to the high post and runs around, do a good job, Shangzhi you make the first pass, pay special attention to the big pillar, let him attract the opponent's attention.

And the big pillar, you also have to pay attention to Yufeng's running, either give the ball to him, or return it to Shangzhi's hands.

And Xiang Jie is covering for Changfeng in the right arc, and when Shangzhi is moving freely on the outside, you have to take out a strong posture on the inside line to attract opponents. And Yan Yufeng, you are pulling alone on the left side, ready at any time according to the number of people attracted by the big pillar, and at the same time, Xiang Jie is ready at any time, rushing into the inner line, helping Yufeng, and Ye Changfeng You have to shoot on the outside line as soon as you have the opportunity, and in the first quarter, find the first three points.

In a word, everyone must do a good job of pulling and fully pulling and bringing the movement war into positional warfare! Do you understand? Shang Lin snorted.

"Got it!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Yes!" Shang Lin nodded with satisfaction, looked at the time hanging on the wall, estimated it, and then quickly wiped the tactical board clean, and drew five circles, three inside and two miles.

"Da Zhu, Xiang Jie, Yu Feng, the three of you are on the left and right sides of the inside line, Da Zhu stands near the free throw first, look at the inside line, don't let the opponent run around from the bottom line casually, prohibit this road, let them only move in the two corners, at the same time, Ye Changfeng You have to watch the No. 3 opponent at any time, you should understand how to restrain him as a three-point player, as for Shangzhi, you only need to help defend, and then wait for the opportunity to break fast on the outside.

For Shan Yu, the key is to look at the three of us on the inside line, try to stand in their own position, sit in the wrong position to block and dismantle, and control Shan Yu's shooting position as much as possible in the inner line, and suppress his scoring area! Shang Lin gasped a little, and after speaking, he paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Defending is the key!" ”

The whole team was silent, and suddenly shouted in unison: "Resolutely defend!" ”

"Yes! Get ready, it's time to play! Shang Lin took a deep breath and looked at the table below, hoping that his accelerated heartbeat would beat a little slower.

The finals are about to begin!

(To be continued)
