Chapter 23 The quarterfinals begin

In the basketball hall of FJ School, the players are training at this time, waiting for the arrival of the coach.

"Captain, do you know what the coach has to announce?" Huang Jun asked Wang Yingdao.

"I don't know, the coach didn't tell me, so he asked me to announce that you guys are coming, saying that there is something to announce, I guess it is something about tomorrow's game." Wang Ying said.

"Oh, I guess it's going to be something about tomorrow's game." Huang Jun echoed.

After about 5 minutes, Li Mingshan came, "I'm sorry everyone, I just had something to do and was late." "The first thing Li Ming did when he came to the stadium was to apologize, which was incredible.

"I called you here today, I guess you have guessed a little, of course, whether you guessed it or not, I will announce it." Li Ming continued, "Our match with CB University will start tomorrow at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, it will be a knockout round, there is only one chance, if we lose, we have to go home, and come back next year." I don't need to know much about the importance, everyone should know it. ”

"Coach, we know the importance of tomorrow, we will also win, tomorrow will be our real test, we will prove our own strength" Huang Jun looked at everyone and said to Li Ming again.

"Coach Huang Jun is right, tomorrow is a game for us to prove our strength, and we don't have anything to talk about winning the championship or anything if we lose, but I believe we won't lose." Wang Ying echoed.

"You all know that that's the best, and I have repeatedly emphasized that no matter what happens in the game, you must be calm, the game is based on tactics, and everyone listens to Huang Jun." Li Ming said again.

The next day, the FJ University team was already on the school bus, and everyone was a little nervous about this game, after all, it was a knockout round, and if you lost, it would be over, and it would be false to say that you were not nervous.

"Captain, are you nervous?" Zhao Jie asked Wang Ying.

"Don't be nervous, this is not the first time I've stood here, but you and Huang Jun are the first time." Wang Ying said calmly.

"Captain, you're right, this is the first time for me and Zhao Jie, as for me, I don't have the slightest nervousness, just excitement and excitement." Huang Jun also said calmly.

"Hehe, you are not simple, how can I Zhao Jie be simple, I still have to be in the limelight in the game" Zhao Jie said, Zhao Jie said that he was not nervous, it was false, after all, it was the first time, he saw that they were not nervous, and he had to say that he was not nervous.

However, their coach was a little worried about these two newcomers just now, but after listening to them, he no longer worries about them, they are a very strong player, if this pressure can't be overcome, it won't be a big deal.

The bus carried Huang Jun and a group of them to the stadium where the game was held. At this time, there are many spectators, so you can imagine how popular basketball is in this school. Huang Jun, who got out of the car, went directly to the basket that was familiar with the field.

The coaches of the two sides came together, the coach of the other party was called Wang Qiang, I saw the other party smiling and shaking hands with Li Ming, Wang Qiang said, "Your results this year are good, you haven't been defeated, but if we are in your group, I believe we will not lose." ”

"yes, that means you think your players are better than my team, do you?" Li Ming smiled.

"Yes, that's what I mean, I believe you will lose this game ugly," Wang Qiang said.

"I'll give you back this sentence, and I'm sure it will turn out as you say, but it's not us, it's you." Li Ming said disdainfully. Wang Qiang snorted, stopped talking, and walked directly back to his bench. The game between the two sides has not yet started, but the manager has already faced each other.

Wang Qiang, who walked back to the half, said to the players: "The coach of the other party just now said that you will lose this game very badly, who do you say will lose even more?" ”

CB's players didn't think about "affirming them", Wang Qiang said with satisfaction, "Next is the starting lineup for this game: No. 9 center Ye Ming." No. 10 Huang Sheng, No. 13 Xu Ying, No. 16 Wang Bo, No. 15 point guard Zhang Ming. ”

The opponent's center Ye Ming and Xu Ying are the double core of the team, as the center Ye Ming, his feet move very fast, his athleticism is extremely high, and the small forward is very balanced at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, whether it is three points or two points or breaking through the pass or something, it is very good.

"The other party's coach is very good*, I hope you can slap him for me, it's best to beat them, so that he can't speak, just take a breath for your coach" Li Ming said, as for the starter or something, needless to say, anyway, everyone knows.

"Hehe, don't worry, coach, we'll give you a breath," Zhao Jieniu* said.

The tournament is about to begin, and the winner of the quarterfinals will be the participants in the semi-finals, so the importance of this match for both sides cannot be overstated.

The players on both sides are ready to jump the ball, Zhao Jie vs Ye Ming, Zhao Jie jumped again. The ball was in Huang Jun's hands, and when the opponent had not returned to the defense in time, he made a long pass directly to the Shaolin abbot of Xu 80s, who had already sneaked to the opponent's half. The opening FJ University took the lead and opened with a precise three.

Zhang Ming controlled the ball over half the court and handed it to Ye Ming on the inside, carrying Zhao Jie to score the ball, and at the same time the referee's whistle sounded, two plus one, there was a chance to play three points, and the opponent's opening three points were returned, and the penalty was hit.

When Huang Jun came back, he used Zhao Jie's cover to make a stop-and-go jump shot, and it was CB University's turn to attack, Zhang Ming gave the ball to Xu Ying in the half, Xu Ying deceived Xu Ying with a feint, and went directly to the basket to attract Zhao Jie's defense, and then gave the ball to Ye Ming, who directly and simply dunked it.

CB Academy is not easy to decisive, especially the ball just now, perfect coordination. Huang Jun saw the cooperation just now, and his heart was also applauded, and at the same time, he replayed the ball just now again in his mind, and Huang Jun began to learn to read in the game. The ability to read a game is accumulated in one game, not one game or two.

Huang Jun controlled the ball, no longer thinking about the ball in his mind, but focused all his attention on this attack. Huang Jun gave the ball directly to Zhao Jie, and he ran up. Zhao Jie singled with his back, and hit a few times in a row, seeing that there was no good opportunity, he directly gave the ball to Wang Ying, who was weak, Wang Ying changed direction and broke through to the basket, threw and hit, taking advantage of the time difference that the opponent had not made up for in time, and directly threw to end the attack. Wang Ying's throwing is still good, but it doesn't use it much.

Both sides started with a very efficient start, and they were both strong teams, and of course we must have the strongest team in the protagonist. The next few attacks on both sides still hit, this hit rate, directly made the opposing coach speechless, this can't be blamed on the defense, the problem is that he can score.

When there were still a few minutes left in the first quarter, the shooting percentages of both sides dropped at the same time, was this discussed before the game? The first quarter was 25-24, with FJ leading one to end the first quarter. Although it was not a single point, it gave the players confidence, at least they did not fall behind.

The other party's coach Wang Qiang was very dissatisfied with the result in the first quarter, and only yelled at the players directly, in Wang Qiang's heart, he still wanted his side to lead the opponent by more than ten points in the first quarter, but he didn't expect to be one point behind, how could Wang Qiang stand it.

Li Ming was also a little dissatisfied with his players, only leading by one point. However, Li Ming didn't shout, he was very calm.
