In the early spring, the basketball team of Hunan University embarked on the journey again, but this time it was the "Northern Expedition".

"CUBA National Competition, we are coming" As soon as they stepped off the train, the students of the basketball team of Hunan University couldn't help but shout.

"Coach, the morale of the team is high now," Assistant Coach Zhou Na said with a smile as she looked at the excited players.

"After the training of last year's divisional competition, these children are more confident and mature," Coach Liu Qing could not hide his joy.

"Coach, which five-star hotel are we staying in?" Yang Kai, as always, is the team's pistachio.

Zhou Na hit Yang Kai on the head and said: "It's good to have a guest house to live in, you still pick and choose, and if you reach the top four, you will live in a five-star hotel."

The hearty laughter and youthful atmosphere of the "hahahaha" team members immediately attracted the attention of the crowd at the railway station.

"It's just the top four, coach, you just wait to help us contact the five-star hotel" Yang Kai looked full of confidence.

"My goal is to be the champion," said the tall man as he clenched his fist.

One of the biggest highlights of cuba's format reform this season is the change from the quarterfinals to the round of 16, while the two-legged home-and-away format has been replaced by a more exciting single-game knockout match.

The teams that enter the top 16 of the country will play a single knockout match at random, and the winner will be determined by one game until the overall champion of the CUBA League is determined.

The single-game knockout system adopted by CUBA in the national stage of the new season is of great significance to increase the suspense of the game and improve the viewing surname of the game.

The single-elimination format is in line with the slogan "winohome", either win and advance, or go home with elimination.

For the traditional powerhouses, the game becomes more challenging, and the slightest slip-up can be packed home. And it gives some other teams the chance to make a breakthrough in history, and a win in one game can change everything.

The host of the competition is Shandong Agricultural University.

Shandong Agricultural University is located at the foot of the majestic Mount Tai, the hometown of Confucius and Mencius in the land of Qilu.

Coach Liu Qing promised that no matter what the team's final results were, he would take everyone to visit Mount Tai after the game, which calmed down the "scratching" of the players.

The opening ceremony was held in the gymnasium of Shandong Agricultural University, the competition specifications are higher, the opening ceremony is also larger than that of Guangzhou University, the opening ceremony on the day of the whole stadium is flooded, the police to maintain order have come hundreds, you can also see the status of the college basketball league in the minds of students.

The men's basketball teams participating in the round of 16 are:

Taiyuan University of Technology men's basketball team, Northwestern Polytechnical University men's basketball team, Henan University men's basketball team, Shanxi University of Finance and Economics men's basketball team in the Northwest Division;

Wuhan University of Technology men's basketball team, Hunan University men's basketball team, Hubei University of Technology men's basketball team, Guangzhou University men's basketball team in the southwest division;

Tsinghua University men's basketball team, Yenching University men's basketball team, Civil Aviation University of China men's basketball team, Shandong Agricultural University men's basketball team in the Northeast Division;

Huaqiao University men's basketball team, Zhejiang University men's basketball team, Ningbo University men's basketball team, China University of Mining and Technology men's basketball team in the southeast division.

The biggest highlight of the opening ceremony was the on-site lottery ceremony, where the teams fought each other and announced on the spot.

The lottery personnel sent by the basketball team of Hunan University are tall and strong.

The people standing on the stage to draw lots are basically the captains and cores of each team.

Let Gao Dazhuang come to the stage to draw lots, which also officially proves Gao Dazhuang's status in the team.

But Gao Dazhuang found that the draw was more nervous than playing, and he was a little at a loss, so he didn't look at his teammates who were giggling at him off the field.

The host Shandong Agricultural University men's basketball team was directly set as the No. 1 pick.

Gao Dazhuang secretly drew the signing, the luck is still good, the number is quite "auspicious", the No. 14 sign, the same as the tall and strong jersey number.

Tall and strong couldn't help but grin.

"What good lottery did you draw, so happy?" An unfamiliar voice reached the ears of the tall and strong.

Gao Dazhuang looked sideways, it was a player standing next to him, about 20 years old, estimated to be more than 2.05 meters tall, but what surprised Gao Dazhuang was that the jersey worn by this player said "Huaqiao University".

It was Gao Dazhuang who participated in the CUBA competition for the first time, but after making up for it before the game, Gao Dazhuang also knew what Huaqiao University represented.

That is the real overlord of CUBA, and the "four consecutive champions" and "seven crowns" are the portrayal of the true strength of Huaqiao University.

"Oh, no, it's just that the draw numbers are the same as the numbers on my jersey," said the tall man with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Hanqi, and I hope to have a chance to fight," the player named Zhang Hanqi took the initiative to stretch out his hand to introduce himself.

Gao Dazhuang also stretched out his hand to shake hands with him and replied in a friendly manner: "Gao Dazhuang, Hunan University, you are the defending champion, learn from you."

"Zhang Hanqi, this year I must avenge last year's revenge, this year's national championship must belong to us" Gao Dazhuang just finished speaking, and a harsh voice came out on the side.

Huo, good guy, tall and strong looked back, it was another strong team, the player who spoke was about 1.9 meters tall and wearing a uniform from Taiyuan University of Technology.

"Oh, this rude guy is called Chu Xu. Chu Xu, you are still a little tender, don't think that if you stole a championship the year before last, you can argue with our Huaqiao University" Zhang Hanqi unceremoniously turned his head and saluted after introducing Gao Dazhuang.

Taiyuan University of Technology, the CUBA champion of the year before last, was knocked down by Huaqiao University on the way to defend the title last year, but the basketball team of Taiyuan University of Technology has made great progress in recent years and has always been the sworn enemy of the basketball team of Huaqiao University.

No, the core of the two teams fought before the game started.

"Hmph, we'll see," Chu Xu said with a vicious stare at Zhang Hanqi.

"No one is easy to mess with, they are all veteran powerhouses" Gao Dazhuang said secretly in his heart, this is why he felt that although the Hunan University basketball team broke through the encirclement and entered the national competition this time, it still lacked some background compared with these old strong teams.

"Next, please stand up to the students who drew the No. 2 lot" Since the No. 1 draw is occupied by the basketball team of the host Shandong Agricultural University, the No. 2 draw will play the opening game with the basketball team of Shandong Agricultural University.

"I, here" The tall and strong found that it was Zhang Hanqi of the basketball team of Huaqiao University who spoke out.

The Huaqiao University basketball team drew the No. 2 pick.

The opening match was between the host Shandong Agricultural University basketball team and the defending champion Huaqiao University basketball team.

"Hmph, this guy drew a good lot," Chu Xu, who was standing next to the tall man, snorted softly.

Gao Dazhuang couldn't help pouting, in the last Southwest Divisional Competition, Hunan University, where Gao Dazhuang was located, also fought a tough battle with the host Guangzhou University, and the host's advantage was still very huge: time, place, and people.

But now it seems that the men's basketball team of Agricultural University, as the host, is just a dish in the eyes of these heroes, and I wonder if the basketball team of Hunan University of the new army has always been a fish belly in their eyes?

"Students who have drawn the No. 3 lot, please stand up," the host continued to shout.

"Here" stood out this time is a tall and strong "acquaintance", Tian Wenfeng, captain of the Guangzhou University basketball team, and the Hunan University basketball team defeated the Guangzhou University basketball team to advance to the regional finals.

The opponent of the Guangzhou University basketball team, the No. 4 pick, was drawn by another strong team, the basketball team of the Civil Aviation University of China.

The No. 5 lottery is the basketball team of Henan University;

The No. 6 draw is the basketball team of Hubei University of Technology;

The No. 7 draw is the basketball team of Northwestern Polytechnical University;

The No. 8 draw is the basketball team of China University of Mining and Technology;

In the first half of the region, it can be said that there is a huge disparity between strength and weakness, and the basketball team of Huaqiao University and the basketball team of Civil Aviation University of China is significantly higher than other teams, but anything can happen in competitive games.

The first team in the lower half is the basketball team of Shanxi University of Finance and Economics that drew the No. 9 lot;

The No. 10 lottery was drawn by Chu Xu of Taiyuan University of Technology, who was standing next to Gao Dazhuang, and Chu Xu glanced at the player of the basketball team of Shanxi University of Finance and Economics with contempt, and did not take him seriously at all.

The No. 11 draw is the basketball team of Ningbo University;

The No. 12 draw is the Tsinghua University basketball team;

Gao Dazhuang was particularly concerned about their first opponent, the No. 13 pick, and was drawn by a very tall player, and his jersey read: Yenching University;

Yenching University? A famous university, the basketball team has no prestige, and Gao Dazhuang seems to have completed the task "qualified", which is a good sign.

When the host shouted the No. 14 sign, Gao Dazhuang stood up, and the Hunan University basketball team was labeled as 14.

The No. 15 draw is the veteran powerhouse Zhejiang University basketball team.

The last one who drew the No. 16 lottery was also a tall and strong old opponent: Dai Huaibo of the basketball team of Wuhan University of Technology, and Dai Huaibo also glanced at Gao Dazhuang meaningfully after the draw.

After the draw, all the matches are clear at a glance, the basketball team of Hunan University where Gao Dazhuang is located can not look forward to the next few games like Huaqiao University and Taiyuan Gonggong, they can only fight one by one, after all, it is not a weak team that breaks into the national league, on the contrary, the southwest division has always been a weak position in the country, and the strongest Wuhan University of Technology basketball team only broke into the quarterfinals last year.

"Zhang Hanqi, you have to cheer up, don't be upset, you must reach the finals, your Huaqiao University is destined to be finished by our Taiyuan Gong" Just when Gao Dazhuang was looking at the players of Yenching University, Chu Xu of Taiyuan University of Technology fired at Zhang Hanqi of Huaqiao University again.

"You? I really don't know where you come from, it's still unknown whether you can pass the tall and strong level" Zhang Hanqi suddenly pulled Gao Dazhuang into this battle for giants.

Gao Dazhuang turned his head to look at Zhang Hanqi in surprise, Zhang Hanqi looked at Gao Dazhuang with a smile, and Gao Dazhuang didn't know his intentions for a while, but he felt that this player was not simple.

"Hunan University? Okay, clean you up together" This is good, Chu Xu of Tai Yuan Gong has also classified the tall and strong into the "hostile forces".

A war without gunpowder is about to begin.

The CUBA National Competition officially began, and the young people who competed for national hegemony stepped on the stage to show themselves.
