Chapter 9 The Grass Stage Team and the Defending Champion
At 7 o'clock in the morning on Friday, the basketball team reached the finals for the first time, and the school specially approved the morning self-study time the week before the finals into training time.
"Zou Qiang, where are you smashing ghosts?! Where is the basket!! What do you vote for Blind J8! ”
"Fall Lianfang!" Duan Cheng shouted in a not very good tone: "Pay attention to the defense!" ”
Ten men on the pitch are in pairs, and the main five are in two-three joint defense - this is a defensive tactic they have been honing for more than a month.
Wang Lei was the attacker, he passed the ball to the right side, and the defender quickly recycled to the right side, and at this moment, Duan Cheng's angry shout began again:
"Da Kun, I'll say the most! After! One! All over! When defending a player without a player, turn your side in the direction of the ball! Is Zou Qiang so good-looking?! ”
Zhang Likun was frightened and quickly adjusted his direction. Zou Qiang, the small forward opposite him, helplessly touched his ordinary face, and patted Zhang Likun's back to show comfort.
Wang Yu silently looked around-
Even the pre-game training was so nervous that it made people sweat......
At the same time, in the basketball court of Linyi No. 1 Middle School, which is 200 kilometers away from Jian'an City, Shengdong Province, the same tense intra-team competition is also underway, but the "distinguished guests" on the sidelines have quietly withdrawn.
"How do you feel? Is there a suitable candidate? A middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses asked in a respectful and expectant tone.
This person is Zhang Xin, the manager of the basketball team of Linyi No. 1 Middle School.
"Yes, your school deserves to be the cradle of basketball players." The reply was the distinguished guest in Zhang Xin's eyes - Gu Feng, the newly appointed head coach of the U17 national youth team.
Gu Feng wore a mixed Li Ning black, white and green loose sportswear, combed with a small oily hair, and matched with his good figure that did not match his age, full of fashion sense, and the deep and shallow furrows on his face did not stop the youthfulness of this dress.
"You're serious! That's what we should do. For the selection of the World Youth Championships, I wonder if there are any players in our school who meet the wishes of the ancient guide? ”
Zhang Xin didn't want to let go of this issue that he was most concerned about, and there were several good seedlings in his team this year. For example, Lin Yaoyang, a rare all-round scorer in a century, and for example, in the most sought-after No. 4 position in the professional league, he also has an ace blue-collar Xue Cheng with excellent physical and psychological conditions.
In Zhang Xin's eyes, the talent and strength of these two people are worthy of skipping the selection competition and directly entering the national youth team, but he didn't expect it......
"Hahaha! Teacher Zhang, put your heart in your stomach! I will be the first to inform you when the national youth team organizes the selection! You stay, and we'll take our leave. ”
Ancient style, this old oilman! Zhang Xin scolded in his heart, but he didn't show it. He sent Gu Feng and another fellow young man named Ouyang Jian whom he had never seen before to the door.
"You stay, we have a preliminary understanding of the basic situation of the players, and the final audition list will be announced after the end of the high school league in each province." Ouyang Jian said politely.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your reception, the time is tight and the task is heavy, so I won't bother much." An ancient and polite goodbye.
As soon as I got in the car, I heard Ouyang Jian sigh and say, "Hey! Even the best basketball school in the country has no suitable candidates, and it seems that our U17 is a bad luck ...... this time."
Gu Feng didn't answer, but he was also a little disappointed.
Ordered in danger, he not only took over the above tasks, but also had some of his own little Jiujiu for U17 itself.
But now it seems that the available ingredients are not enough for him to cook a feast......
"Where do you go next?" Gu Feng asked.
"Jian'an, there is a high school final tonight. Jian'an No. 1 Middle School is the defending champion, and it has been the fourth consecutive championship, so there may be surprises. ”
At seven o'clock in the evening, half an hour before the start of the finals of the 2021 Jian'an High School Basketball League, the game site was already full.
The auditorium is divided into two obvious sides, one side is wearing a blue and white school uniform, which is the audience seat of Jian'an No. 16 Middle School, and the other side is wearing a red and white school uniform, which is the audience seat of Jian'an No. 1 Middle School.
The scene was very noisy, and the audience seat of the 16th Middle School was very excited because it was all freshmen in the first year of high school - compared to sitting in the classroom and taking a boring evening self-study, it was naturally not as pleasant as going to the scene to watch a wonderful basketball final!
"Have you heard, the student overlord Wang Yu who skipped the grade in our class seems to be the starting score of the school team!" Boy A excitedly confided the gossip to the classmate next to him. didn't notice that when he mentioned "Wang Yu", the three girls in the front row quietly pricked up their ears.
"You have to know! It seems that our school can reach the finals this year is all due to him, it is said that he has no arrows and pierces Yang in 100 steps! Boy B said.
"However, he has no advantage in playing basketball with such a small stature, and it depends on our big center, you didn't watch the semifinals last time, right? Absolute dominance under the basket, 40 points in a single game, absolute tactical core! Boy B added.
"I like our point guard, don't look at it too much, but the kung fu of threading the needle is very good, that's definitely a good tailor!" Boy C said!
"Haha! Thankfully, we went to see the semi-finals! C said to B.
"The lineup is so strong, our school is expected to win the championship!" Boy A was a little excited.
"That's right!"
"That's right! Definitely! ”
Boys B and C are also said to be excited!
"You're all about to rest~ Do you know what level the opponent is in, just fantasizing here!" Boy D, who was sitting behind them, couldn't hear it and leaned forward to interrupt them.
"You know you want to hear it!" Boy A was not convinced.
"No. 1 Middle School, that's the overlord of the Jian'an High School Basketball League! Ordinary people can't enter the school team, and the level of people selected and eliminated by the school team every year is terrifying. Moreover, this year is already the fifth consecutive championship! Our school's grass platform team wants to win? Pull it down! ”
Boy D saw that the three people in the front row stopped talking, and then snorted his information: "Let me tell you this, a Chinese family can overwhelm us just because of their physical fitness, not to mention that there is a BT tactics enthusiast as a coach!" Does our school have a Fabi? ”
"The first few games of our school skipped class. Our school team is not an opponent of No. 1 High School at all. There is no tactic at all, as far as the No. 7 you said threaded the needle, the physical strength of the third quarter is not enough, haven't you also watched it? D asked B and C.
"It's ...... indeed," C deflated.
Wei Chi Xiran, who was sitting in the front row of ABC, and her best friends paid attention to the movements of the boys behind them when they heard the word "Wang Yu", and when they heard this, she turned around suddenly: "How can you grow the ambition of others?!" With Ah Yu, our school will definitely win! ”
"I'm struggling." Boy D poured cold water, "What about Ah Yu, are you very familiar with him?" ”
ABC also felt that Yu Chi Xiran was right, and did not interject.
Before Yu Chi Xiran could speak, her friend Zhang Ran couldn't listen anymore: "What do you know!" Xiran and Wang Yu grew up together, and she knows Wang Yu's strength best! ”
"Yo yo ~ childhood sweetheart bei little fat man ~" boy D laughed.
Chi Xiran, the little fat girl, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and pressed Zhang Ran, who still wanted to reply: "Forget it, see you on the field." Different from the state when he got along with Wang Yu, Wei Chi Xiran completely disdained to pay attention to such unwarranted doubts and provocations.
She knew that if she was Wang Yu, she would only use her strength to fight back, and of course, the boy who didn't seem to grow up would not let go of the opportunity to humiliate the doubter with words.
Thinking of Wang Yu's handsome face, Wei Chi Xiran couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, revealing a shallow and slightly shy smile. The good sisters sitting on either side of her also leaned their heads over at the right time.
"Yo~ What are you smiling at? Chubby, why are you so confident in that kid~"
"You don't like him, do you~ I'll just say how you get old and go to the second grade to find someone!"
The two muttered quietly, making fun of their friends, and Yu Chi Xiran was also a little embarrassed. She was excited just now, and she can hold back under normal circumstances, but today is the final! It's a final that Ah Yu wants to win so much! How can you say frustrating words!
Yu Chi Xiran looked at the direction of Wang Yu on the court again, and couldn't help but show a sweet smile: Ah Yu, you will definitely win!
The three of them were still teasing the people here, and they didn't notice the situation of the people around them.
Not far from them, a bespectacled girl poked the sweet-looking doll-looking girl beside her, and said:
"I said, our three good students, the school flower, your prince charming is about to play, are you nervous?"
Xu Mengna, the school girl who was ridiculed, was three points shy, four points angry, plus one hundred and twenty points, and sweetly punched her friend twice, and spit out two words in her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense~"
"There are still 10 minutes left before the game starts." The live radio sounded.
"Attention!!" In front of the team of No. 1 Middle School, coach Zhang Daqing gathered the starters together to make the final strategic deployment, and the substitute players surrounded the outside.
"Let me emphasize again, at the beginning of the game, Li Tao pressed Wang Lei all over the court, put more pressure on him, and I will find someone to replace you when I am tired!"
Li Tao, the No. 4 point guard of No. 1 Middle School, nodded, and at the same time, a thought also appeared in his heart: "Wang Lei, let's see you on the court, I will take back the position of the first point guard in Jian'an City today!" ”
"Others, people in the three-point line are marking, our physical fitness is much stronger than the other party, I ask, at the beginning of the game, play a sense of pressure!" Zhang Daqing continued to emphasize defensive tactics, "At the beginning, we made it impossible for them to turn over!" Questions? ”
"No problem!"
"Excellent! Everyone, we have all seen a lot of game videos in the 16th Middle School, the 16th Middle School is a plate of loose sand, it can't become a climate, we just need to prevent their main scoring points No. 8 and No. 12, it is only a matter of time before we win the game! Is there any confidence?! Zhang Daqing finally asked.
"Yes!" The crowd shouted in unison.
The whole team was relatively relaxed, and at this time it was more exciting than nervous.
At the same time, Duan Cheng also called back the warm-up players, but the tension lingered in the entire air above the coach's seat of the 16th Middle School.
