Chapter 272: An apology from Deng Zhou

When Deng Zhou followed the team to win the North District championship again, he was not as excited as last year, and it was difficult to go from luxury to simplicity, so he stopped here last year, and lost to Mingde Middle School in the final finals.

When he saw the results of the game in the South Zone after the game, he was stunned.

Southern Runner-up...... The High School Affiliated to Hanning Normal University?

This must be something that didn't get right, right?

Originally, I should be happy, if the major teams of the National High School League are ranked in a grade, the first gear should be Tsinghua High School, No. 4 Middle School, Mingde Middle School and their Dongcai Middle School, and the High School Affiliated to Normal University can only be regarded as barely ranked in the second gear, and they can enter this year's challenge, it is likely that the level of the major teams in the entire southern region has decreased.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

This is also normal, after all, high school students can generally only play for two years, one session after another, and if one or two core players in a certain class are out of gear, the strength will drop a lot, so it is not easy to keep the team in a championship strength.

This year, the High School Affiliated to the Normal University can enter the challenge, so it is obvious that the strength of the southern district has decreased a lot.

It will be easier to hit the high school attached to the teacher.

Deng Zhou, who was resting at the hotel, then received a call from his teammates.

"Dude, did you see the schedule?"

"I saw ......," Deng Zhou's tone did not show too much joy.

"Alas! This year, second-tier teams like this can enter the challenge! Incredible, right? Then we must not beat them by more than 20 points? ”

"Hmm."

"What's the matter, the victory was so easy, so I wasn't excited at all?"

Deng Zhou said: "Even if you win this kind of team, there is nothing to be happy about, take a good rest, and think about what will happen after winning the high school attached to Normal University...... Whether Tsinghua High School or Mingde Middle School wins the other challenge and is our opponent, we are not easy to fight. ”

After hanging up the phone, Deng Zhou put the phone down, lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, and sighed slightly.

Of course, the reason why he is not in high spirits is not only what he told his teammates on the phone, but more importantly, the reason is...... The high school attached to the division university has become his opponent in the next game, so he has to fulfill his promise to his sister......

"Apologize to Yi Yang in person during the game?"

Deng Zhou didn't expect that what he promised at that time suddenly became a reality, and for a while he had a dreamlike feeling.

Thinking of that scene, he couldn't help frowning, and spat out a sentence fiercely: "What a fuck...... Dry. ”

It's a shame.

It's worse than killing yourself.

But if you don't do it......

Deng Zhou thought of his sister's demeanor, and sighed slightly, probably it can be seen, my sister seems to be very obsessed with that boy, to be honest, I really don't have the qualifications to care about my sister in love, in terms of self-discipline, she is much better than herself, and the boy she likes should not be too bad, right?

He rolled over and muttered to himself, "Forget it, let's talk about it when we get to the arena." ”

……

The competition was held in the gymnasium of Dongcai Middle School, and the schedule was arranged for the runner-up of the divisional competition to match the stadium of the opponent's divisional champion, which is also an advantage of winning the divisional championship.

After all, it is your home stadium, whether it is the cheering of the stadium audience or the familiarity with your own stadium, it is an advantage.

There are also stands on the stadium of Dongcai Middle School, which can accommodate more than 2,000 people to watch at the same time, which is slightly inferior to the stadium of Mingde Middle School, but it is also the first middle school stadium in China.

Because it was a weekend game, and as a strong basketball school, Dongcai Middle School promoted CHBL very well, taking advantage of the gap between the rest days, most students except for the senior high school students were able to watch the game live.

When everyone entered from the players' tunnel, they heard the thunderous applause and cheers from the audience, and they couldn't help but boil their blood one by one...... Although these cheers are not for themselves.

Lei Zhenyu said excitedly to Yi Yang: "I like to play under such conditions where the eyes of thousands of people converge, although these audiences are not ours, but it must be more refreshing to win the opponent on the opponent's territory and in front of the opponent's audience, isn't it?" ”

Yi Yang couldn't help but feel a little excited...... To be honest, I had no ball skills in my previous life, but I had never participated in a game of this level, so I was still very excited at this time.

Lei Zhenyu pulled Yi Yang aside, and then whispered to him: "There is a secret to reveal to you, don't tell anyone else." ”

Yi Yang glanced at Lei Zhenyu strangely and nodded: "Okay, you can say it." ”

Lei Zhenyu said: "Don't we already have four national quotas now? I went to the coach privately that day, because Senior Brother Zhou Ji had already got it last year, and he could not occupy the quota this year, one of them must be yours, the coach has already explained, and the other 3 places, he said that the main thing is to look at the contribution of the game...... I want to fight for it, can you pass the ball more to me and Lin Song during the game? ”

Looking at Lei Zhenyu's expectant gaze, Yi Yang smiled: "You just have to run, as long as you run out, the person will reach the ball." ”

Lei Zhenyu said excitedly: "Don't worry, I will definitely not blindly ask for the ball, after all, if this game can be won, we will be considered the top two, at least 5 places, and Lin Song and I will definitely have one, so we still have to win as the first option." ”

Yi Yang nodded.

After a series of pre-match processes, the referee raised his hand in the midfield to signal that the players on both sides were in place, and the scene was quiet for a while, and the game officially began!

The centers of the High School Affiliated to Normal University and Dongcai Middle School stood on the free throw line, and the scene became extremely quiet.

The center forwards on both sides are small giants more than two meters tall, and the referee looks very short between the two, he looks left and right, and makes sure that the double serve is ready, before throwing the basketball high, and at the same time the center forwards of both sides jump together.

It was the players from Dongcai Middle School who were a little stronger and managed to get the ball.

According to the rules of the ten-a-side game, Gao Runxiang changed his style of play in this crucial game, and in the first quarter, Yi Yang and several senior high school students, including Zhou Ji, took the lead, trying to establish an advantage in the first quarter...... No matter how bad it is, there is a back and forth with the opponent, and when it comes to the second quarter, it must be five down and five up, and then let Lei Zhenyu and them go up, and they don't expect to attack, so they defend desperately, try to drag the score as much as possible, and wait until the third or fourth quarter, when there is no personnel limit, Yi Yang and Zhou Ji have about the same time to rest, and then play a wave of energy.

Dongcai Middle School is strong because everyone has strong individual ability, and each of their players is placed in the second pot of the team, and they have the strength to act as an arrow player, so they have no tactics at all, and anyone who holds the ball can pull away from the singles.

In a flash, the No. 23 player of Dongcai Middle School suddenly accelerated on the flank, passed the defense in one step, and then rushed to the basket and squeezed the defender to score the ball.

The scene cheered thunderously.

After the middle school attached to the division university served, Zhou Ji advanced with the ball and commanded the others to take position.

Yi Yang sank directly to the bottom line, and the person was not in place yet, and suddenly saw Zhou Ji, who was in the afterglow, accelerated and pulled back, shook a space near the free throw line, and scored the ball in the middle of the shot.

2 to 2.

There was only the noise of the scene, and only on the bench of the High School Attached to the Normal University, Lei Zhenyu and Li Rui struggled to wave towels.

In the next few goals, both sides scored on the attack.

Both sides are one-on-one defense, and the style of play is also very simple, at most it is a two-to-three blocking and dismantling cooperation, more often than not, after a few passes of the ball, a certain player sees that there is only one defender in front of him, and the space under the basket is relatively open, so he suddenly accelerates to impact the inside.

And similar offensive methods, it is obvious that Dongcai Middle School is more efficient, because their overall strength is stronger, almost every player has the ability to play singles, and they can pass the ball a few more times, and they can seize more opportunities, in contrast, the middle school attached to the Normal University has the ability to play indiscriminately singles, and there are only two or three people.

However, the score of the High School Attached to the Normal University was tight, and even led for a while.

Deng Zhou, who was on the field, looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help frowning.

Because he was already a junior in high school, he tried to get his junior teammates on the court to practice, and he was scheduled to play in the second quarter.

The scoring frequency of the high school attached to the Normal University is not as high as theirs, but it can always bite the score......

Because of Yiyang!

Deng Zhou's teammate couldn't help but say: "That No. 30 is a bit powerful, this is already the third three-point shot!" ”

Three points are one point more than two points, which is why the high school attached to the Normal University can be critical of the score.

Zhou Ji and Yi Yang's cooperation is very tacit, one is responsible for breaking through, and the other is always in the position of being able to receive the opponent's payment and waiting for the opportunity to move, if the breakthrough encounters resistance, the first time to pass the ball out to the outside of the line to shoot three points, pull each other Dongcai Middle School's defense line, the offensive opportunities created by the two people are not inferior to the space created by three or four players on Dongcai's side...... If he reacts and goes up to make up for Yi Yang on the outside, he will not be in a hurry to shoot, but immediately change to the role of the organizer, control the ball, and reorganize the attack.

In a round, they can organize two or three attacks and only shoot until the space is good, so that although the number of shots is not much, the score is very efficient.

Deng Zhou snorted: "Don't worry, they are only those two people, we will play them in the second quarter, and they won't be able to catch up with the game when they come back in the third quarter." ”

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides were tied 24-24.

Zhou Ji and Yi Yang were sweating and panting, Lei Zhenyu and Li Rui stepped forward to high-five, and said excitedly: "We will definitely not drop the chain in the second quarter!" ”

Soon, the second quarter of the game began.

Both sides are five down and five up, so at first they don't know who the opponent's strong point is.

A few rounds later, the No. 24 player of Dongcai Middle School scored consecutive points, and the Shida side immediately locked on the target.

Lin Song glanced at Lei Zhenyu, who nodded knowingly.

In the next round, Lei Zhenyu took the initiative to defend the No. 24.

Dongcai Middle School's offensive wave suddenly stalled, and the two sides went back and forth, except for a few quick breaks after a few steals, the positional battle failed to score.

Zhou Ji rested at this time, his breathing was much calmer, and he said to Yi Yang: "They defended quite well." ”

Yi Yang nodded.

At this moment, the players of Dongcai Middle School who were attacking listened, looked towards the corner of the bottom line, and then quickly gathered over.

The players from the High School Attached to the Normal University also suddenly stood up and hurried over.

At this time, the audience had not yet reacted, only to see Lei Zhenyu and the opponent's No. 24 player pointing at each other and scolding each other, and were pulled away by the players on both sides, and the referee gave each of them a physical foul.

After a while, boos began to erupt from the audience, mainly to the high school attached to the Normal University, of course.

"That person from the High School Attached to the Normal University is so dirty!"

"Why did the referee give us a foul! It's obviously their fault! ”

Of course, Lei Zhenyu could hear the boos above the court, but he didn't care at all, and even had a little pride in his heart at this time.

Isn't the opponent No. 24 very powerful? Then find a way to knock your feel down!

Of course, it is within the scale allowed by the rules, that is, one step at a time, keeping an eye on the whole process, no one else cares, and even fouls are not hesitated, and after a few times, the opponent's mentality collapses, and his goal is hit.

But the side effects are also obvious, to mark an offensive player with all his might, the defender actually has to consume more physical strength, the opponent runs one step, you may have to run two steps to keep up, a few rounds of defense, Lei Zhenyu has become out of breath, his heart is beating fast, and the players holding the ball are shaking, in this case it is impossible to attack.

But not long after Lei Zhenyu was happy, a fatal backward mid-range shot pulled him back to reality.

Deng Zhou glanced at Lei Zhenyu coldly on the flank of the court, and then returned to the field to defend.

"That person ......" Lei Zhenyu frowned, feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this guy.

Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration, wasn't that person the one who met on the rooftop court that day and won both himself and Lin Song? In the end, only Yi Yang won him.

But at the moment, this 24th is also very powerful, what should I do?

Lin Song couldn't defend him like he did, because Lin Song still had to find a way to attack.

Then the score was pulled apart little by little under Deng Zhou's excellent performance.

Zhou Ji and Yi Yang on the field both frowned.

Indeed, Deng Zhou's personal ability is too strong, and it can be counted as a three-board axe: an extremely fast first step to break through, a rollover and a back-to-back jumper after a back-to-back single, and an inside key suddenly popping out to catch the ball and shoot.

There is no very complicated fancy dribbling, the ball will not even dribble a few times in his hand, and the tricks are extremely simple, but these three moves can be combined with each other, ever-changing, and when he feels hot, it is difficult to limit.

Under the leadership of Deng Zhou, Dongcai Middle School ended the quarter with a 9-point lead of 46-37.

After the game, Lei Zhenyu and the others obviously looked a little depressed, and Gao Runxiang encouraged: "It's okay, it's okay, I've played very well, there's still a game, everyone cheer up!" ”

After halftime, Yi Yang and Zhou Ji played again.

And Deng Zhou was not replaced.

After the players on both sides came on the field, Deng Zhou silently walked behind Yi Yang and whispered: "Yi Yang, I'm sorry last time." ”

Yi Yang was slightly stunned, and when he looked back, he saw that Deng Zhou had already walked away without looking back.

What's up with this apology?
