Guangfeng University in Huangchuan and Southeast University of Technology where Sun Feiang is located were both in the top three in South China last year, so they directly got the places in the top eight and did not need to participate in the top 80 knockout rounds.

The top 80 will finally determine 5 teams, and the top 3 of the previous tournament will form the top eight.

If you lose one game in the quarterfinals, there will be a chance of repechage, and the pressure will not be so great.

Although he has to play four more games to reach the quarterfinals, Ding Yike feels that this is a good thing.

Especially since the team has changed more players than other schools.

The five freshmen, as well as the specially recruited Bai Youwei, Wei Xiao, and Lu Minghui, all have no experience in competitions. Eight of them alone make up more than half of the 15-man squad. In general, there are no more than five newcomers at other universities.

The top 80 tournament can give them the opportunity to practice and accumulate experience, and if they play directly in the quarterfinals, it is more dangerous to come up and play a higher-level opponent.

The first game of Xingchen University will be against Southeast Normal University.

If you want to talk about the grade of the school, Southeast Normal and Xingchen University are about the same. However, the basketball team's record is a big gap.

Although Southeast Normal is a regular participant in the top 80 competition, it has never made it to the quarterfinals. This time, they met Xingchen University, which was already a strong team, in the first round, which was really unlucky.

"Don't underestimate your enemies then. We heard that Southeast Normal got one of the top three high school students in the country, and their lineup has been very stable, and we are not so easy to win. ”

Ding Yike made a solemn reminder to the whole team, and she didn't lie at all.

"The coach is right, we have to play as if we were in the last four." Liao added, "In the first game, we had to play with momentum and then make it to the finals. ”

The tournament will be played next weekend, and if you win on Saturday, you will go straight to the round of 40 on Sunday.

is finally going to play the national competition, and Wei Xiao and other newcomers are extremely excited. Wei Xiao was calculating in his heart, there are more official competitions, and the speed of system upgrading will definitely become faster. However, Ding Yike quickly shifted the topic to the warm-up match against Guangfeng University the day after tomorrow.

"We will collect more information after the Southeast Normal School, and now we will focus on Guangfeng University first. If we make it to the final four, it will not be surprising to run into Guangfeng University. After all, in the first three years, we ran into them twice. ”

Ding Yike asked everyone to sit down, and Lu Ce pushed a blackboard and handed the marker to Ding Yike.

Ding Yike wrote down five positions on the blackboard and introduced the situation of Guangfeng University in each location one by one.

"Let's start with the small forward." Ding Yike said, "Their current star Huang Chuan is an old rival with our captain. After their core center graduates, Huang Chuan is the core of their game, so their style of play may no longer rely on interior attack. But no matter how they change, as long as our captain is here, we can have an advantage. ”

Ding Yike did not reserve it, and explained the advantages and disadvantages of Huang Chuan.

Huang Chuan is good at breaking through, and his long-range shooting ability is also a first-class existence, just like Zhou Ran, he is the type that can burst into the project. But he prefers to break through, and the long shot is more like a weapon that is put in the trunk and is only used when there is really no way.

His individual ability can be ranked in the top five in the whole South China region, and maybe even the top three, but his shortcoming is also very obvious, that is, he does not like to pass.

In the last national tournament, he averaged a measly 1.5 assists per game. If he is still unwilling to cooperate with his teammates, as long as Liao Yufeng can restrain him and the core cannot carry out effective attacks, then Guangfeng University will have to think of other ways.

Wei Xiao really wanted to add that Huang Chuan would definitely not choose to pass the ball easily, because his character is like that.

At that time, when the three groups of the Storm Camp were training together, he played a three-on-three with Huang Chuan's first team, and Huang Chuan almost never passed a ball.

He doesn't care, but the other teammate has a bit of a big opinion. Because Huang Chuan patronized his own performance, it was better to be his teammate than his opponent.

Huang Chuan seemed very comfortable with his teammates' doubts.

"Passing? If I can enter, why should I pass it on to you? Rest assured, I won't shirk my responsibilities. ”

Huang Chuan means that scoring is his responsibility, and passing the ball is equivalent to shirking responsibility.

If a person's concept is formed, it is very difficult to change it in a short period of time.

So Wei Xiao will be more curious about what roles other positions in Guangfeng University have.

"Organizational guard Li Xin, like Huang Chuan, is already a senior, and he is quite experienced. However, because Huang Chuan held the ball for too long, Li Xin's role could only be played after Huang Chuan got off the field. ”

Ding Yike continued to explain, and everyone listened very carefully.

On the whole, Guangfeng University is going through a difficult transition period.

After the departure of the original core center, the two interior lines on the top are not offensive and defensive all-rounders, and they cannot inherit the original tactical routine based on the inside line, and the scoring guard has a junior 3D player to stand in the main position, and the team's focus seems to be shifting to the outside line to seek a new style of play.

Ding Yike only mentioned the alignment of Liao Yufeng, Xiaoyu and Feng Kangjian, Zhou Ran is an ironclad scoring guard, so no one knows who is the main force except Ding Yike.

Wei Xiao, who must have been playing as a substitute, didn't have much pressure until he received his varsity jersey.

Today's training ended smoothly, and the majesty did not come to make trouble. After the end, Bao Zhiqiang brought the school team's jerseys and distributed them one by one.

The distribution is not a random hand, because the number is still chosen.

The veteran players basically got the original number.

Liao Yufeng 4;

Zhou Ran No. 8;

Xiaoyu No. 21;

Feng Kangjian No. 10;

Lu Bin No. 33;

Yu Gaoshuang No. 7;

Liu Yuanhang No. 6.

New players can choose from the remaining numbers.

But it's not about choosing as many numbers as you want. This set of jerseys was remade two years ago, that is, after Liao Yufeng led the team to play results, the team had enough budget to make this set of better quality jerseys, and the initial number was the one when Liao Yufeng was a sophomore.

Whoever chooses what number, that number is customized according to whose size.

The freshman center likes No. 11 very much because it is the number of his idol Ding Jianmin. It's just that the player who chose No. 11 was a defender, and the rookie center grew to more than two meters. He was not dressed appropriately, so he had to choose number 12.

Wei Xiao didn't have any special expectations for the number, he waited for others to pick it slowly, and finally picked a few left, only to find that the remaining size was only the size of No. 3.

No. 11 was finally transferred to Duan Er because of the size problem, and Bai Youwei decisively chose No. 1, which was his favorite number.

Lu Minghui had no choice, he could only choose the smallest size 2.

Coincidentally, Bai Youwei, Lu Minghui and Wei Xiao, the three sophomores selected from the reserve team last semester, happened to be No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3.

The jerseys were distributed two days in advance, because they were to be worn when they played warm-up matches in Guangfeng. I washed it tonight, and it was all dry the morning after tomorrow.

Back in the dormitory with the jersey, Wei Xiao couldn't wait to take the jersey out of his backpack.

The jersey is a two-color home and away uniform, the home one is based on white, and the stripes and numbers are red; The away side is dominated by red, with some of the trimmed stripes being black and the numbers being shiny gold.

Putting the jersey on the basin where the dirty clothes were placed, the jersey was deliberately placed on top, Wei Xiao looked forward to the curiosity of his roommates, walked out of the corridor to the laundry room, he deliberately walked slower, to see if the people passing by in the corridor would cast curious and envious glances.

When he hung his jersey on the balcony of his dorm room, his roommates finally realized that their dorm room had a basketball team member. Some roommates asked him when the game would be, and Wei Xiao told them truthfully that there would be games this Wednesday and the weekend of the following week. It's just that none of the games will be played at the home of Star University. Except for the national competition, the cheerleaders will go with the team, and if others want to watch it, they have to go to other places to support it at their own expense.

Wei Xiao's roommates naturally won't spend that money on nothing, they just need to sit and wait for the battle report in front of them and the video released by the basketball team itself.

Of course, there are people who are willing to go, and Liao Yufeng's contact with the community over the years has not been in vain.

There are some sports clubs in the community organization of Xingchen University, and basketball, as an extremely popular sport, is actually played by more people than football in Huaxia, and there are naturally basketball clubs.

Many people like basketball, but they don't reach the level of the school team, and even can't even play much time in the class game, so going to the basketball club is the best choice.

The basketball club organizes many basketball games, where basketball enthusiasts can experience the real game of basketball.

There are even special referee associations that provide match referees for some multi-player sports like football and basketball. It's just that unlike the basketball club, the basketball club has to pay a due, and the referee association also has to pay money, but if you want to blow the game, there is a small reward.

In the past, when the basketball team went out to play, there was no cheerleader.

Liao Yufeng not only persuaded the dance club to get cheerleaders, but also had friendships with major sports clubs. Now the membership fee of the basketball club is not only used for games, but also has the role of traveling to other places to support the school team. If it comes to the final or other important matches, even other clubs such as football clubs may support it.

In fact, whether it is a cheerleader or a club, they don't just go to other places to watch games, they also go to travel by the way, so there are still a lot of people who are willing to go. Of course, most of them are students who are not short of money.

But on Wednesday, the day the school team left for Guangfeng, the basketball club that was organizing a group to watch the school team play next weekend got a strange news.

Some people say that the basketball team has violated school rules and discipline and has been banned from going out to participate in games.
