Volume 1 Chapter 212: Deliberately Trying to Lose?
No way?
Guangfeng University is actually going to lose?
Reporters from all walks of life must be excited, and the first upset of the quarterfinals may be coming soon.
Shi Liqiang specially practiced the lineup without Huang Chuan, and after the pause, Guangfeng University's cooperation became smooth, and he played overall basketball, and no one was a prominent scorer.
However, they no longer have anyone to stop Tomyage.
The acceleration of the previous rhythm helped Guangfeng gain a little initiative, but Wang Hongyi's defensive rhythm was also disrupted.
He had to put extra effort into the fast break, which made it impossible for him to defend Tomic with all his might.
Tomic seized the opportunity to tear a hole in Wang's defense.
Guangfeng insisted on playing fast, Tom Miqi and Guangfeng confronted him, but Huang Chuan was not there, Guangfeng wanted to gain an advantage, but was beaten by Renai Academy to a small climax.
Shi Liqiang decided to resume positional warfare, and arranged tactics against Tomich.
It's useful, but there's no way to completely limit Tommyche.
Tomic was still able to score, score, and score in front of Wang Hongyi continuously.
As soon as Liu Weiping found his touch, Dong Tian came to trouble him and restrained him to death.
At the end of one's resources.
This is the most appropriate word to describe Guangfeng University.
There are three minutes left in the game.

The difference is already 13 points.
"Guangfeng isn't really going to lose, is he?"
Wei Xiao didn't believe it very much, he always thought that the next game was to play Guangfeng.
"It's basically gone." Bai Youwei affirmed, "None of the five positions has an advantage, play a yarn." β
Lu Bin and Xiaoyu have similar views, they said that this Guangfeng team has lost its previous core, and it has also taken two main forces, and the overall strength is really not as strong as last year.
But the main thing is that Renai College is really not weak.
The combination of Tomic and Dong Tian can cause a lot of trouble for the opponent, and the others will not drag their feet.
Shen Wende also began to pay more attention to Renai Academy, and he had even begun to analyze it one by one.
Point guard Ren Zhennan, wearing No. 22, is 1.9 meters tall, is fast, and is biased towards defense and organization.
With Tomic, a super scoring guard, Ren Zhennan really doesn't need any offensive ability, and such a backcourt partner is very suitable.
No. 11 small forward, named Zhang Bo. Very typical 3-and-D player, he scored three bottom corner three-pointers in this game, and he didn't have much of a disadvantage when he was against Huang Chuan at the beginning.
Big forward No. 4 Wen Zhiyu seems to be able to do anything, grabbing a lot of rebounds, but he can also shoot from the outside, and he also showed off a few low-post singles, although the shooting rate is average.
Center forward Du Lan, 2.08 meters tall, has a toned body, not bad confrontation, strong running ability, always tirelessly assists in defense on the defensive end, and the offensive end gives Tomic a good blocking effect, and he does not do less to cover without the ball.
Anyway, after listening to Shen Wende's round of explanations, no one dares to underestimate Renai Academy.
After all, everyone who had just hit Shanmen University was still apprehensive.
As long as you win the next game, you can enter the semi-finals, no matter who the opponent is, it should not be taken lightly.
"He's back."
"We're saved!"
Guangfeng's cheering group was in a commotion, because they saw the hope of a reversal.
Huang Chuan walked out of the players' tunnel, there was no problem walking, and it seemed that he could play again.
Renai Academy has been playing the main lineup, and Tomic has not been rested since the second half.
If Huang Chuan can play now and re-inject vitality into Guangfeng University, there will definitely be a comeback.
Huang Chuan sat back on the bench, Shi Liqiang communicated with him, he should have asked about his physical condition.
On the field, Wang Hongyi was still gritting his teeth and insisting, he admitted that it was impossible to completely block Tomich.
Even if he has Huang Chuan's offensive ability, it can only be a mutual explosion.
He needs Huang Chuan to defeat Tomyage together.
Turn around at 360 degrees!
Tommickey continued his freehand performance.
Beep!
The foul ball goes in, and it's another two-plus-one.
This time, it was Wang Hongyi who found an opportunity to block when he was chasing the defense, but Tomic dodged in the air, and then threw the ball in an awkward posture, which also caused a foul.
With the free throws in the net, Tomic scored exactly 40 points.
"On the Yellow River! On the Yellow River! On the Yellow River! β
The Guangfeng cheering group shouted slogans with all their might. If Huang Chuan doesn't play again, this game will really be an upset.
Shi Liqiang is calm and light, and he doesn't look like a side behind by a big score at all.
"Their manager can't be match-fixing, right?"
Xiaoyu seriously suspected that Shi Liqiang did it on purpose.
"There is no gambling in the national competition, right?"
Lu Bin first thought of whether Shi Liqiang was involved in gambling, but the national competition has zero tolerance for this kind of thing, and all parties have cracked down on it quite hard.
After all, one of the world's top basketball leagues ended up destructing itself because of its cooperation with gambling companies. This is a bloody lesson for the world of basketball, and indeed for the entire sports world.
Shi Liqiang has been a coach for so many years, he shouldn't do this kind of thing.
"The only explanation is that they want to be in the lower bracket."
Shen Wende touched his chin, in fact, he was not very sure.
If Guangfeng enters the loser's group, it will be a life-and-death battle against Shanmen University.
Perhaps, they can win smoothly when they come to the edge of the cliff, Shanmen University can only sigh that it is unlucky, and the quarterfinals will play the top four teams in two consecutive rounds, which will not let people play.
After winning, entering the semi-finals qualifying round, Guangfeng will face the loser of the upper bracket of Zone A.
Obviously, neither Southeast Polytechnic nor Lingnan Sports Institute is easy to deal with.
Once you lose, you are completely out of the tournament and lose your place in the final four.
"Really, isn't it?"
After figuring out the situation, Lu Minghui was also confused and couldn't help asking.
"It is estimated that Guangfeng University lost to us last time, and would rather play in Area A than face us first!"
Yu Gaoshuang said very surely. In his opinion, if Guangfeng deliberately lost, it must be this possibility.
He is very clear about the format, Guangfeng enters the lower bracket to win, faces the loser of the upper bracket of Zone A, and enters the semi-finals if he wins again, if the loser of the upper bracket of Zone B successfully wins the winner of the lower bracket of Zone A, then Guangfeng is equivalent to replacing a team in the upper bracket of Zone A.
Assuming that Southeast Institute of Technology wins the Lingnan Sports Institute, and Guangfeng defeats the Lingnan Sports Institute in the semi-finals, then the semi-finals, that is, the semi-finals, will compete with Southeast Institute of Technology for a place in the finals.
"Impossible. Want to go to Southeast Institute of Technology in advance? Shen Wende said, "It must be that Huang Chuan is still injured, and they would rather give up this one than take risks." This shows that without Huang Chuan, their team would not be able to do it. β
"How can't it be." Yu Gaoshuang said, "They must feel that they are also playing Southeast Institute of Technology in the finals, so it is better to play in advance." In this way, they can drive three or four Southeast Institute of Technology, so that revenge is more refreshing! Got it? β
"That's fine." Lu Bin hopes that Yu Gaoshuang and Shen Wende's conjectures are correct, "In this way, it will be easier for us to return to the finals this year." β
If Guangfeng and Southeast Institute of Technology compete with each other in one and a half districts, or Guangfeng can't do it because it doesn't have Huangchuan, which is very targeted, then Xingchen University basically doesn't have much pressure.
As long as Feng Kangjian and Zhou Ran can return smoothly, they will make a healthy comeback as soon as possible.
Whewβ
The end of the finale.
90οΌ80γ
Shi Liqiang did not replace Huang Chuan on the court again, and Guangfeng University failed to recover the score.
Benevolence Academy have made it to the upper bracket, where they will face Etoile University in the next round.
The match will be played next weekend, and the venue will no longer be a neutral venue, but will be decided by drawing lots between the two teams in the upper bracket of each region, with each division playing in two arenas.
Originally, the probability of Stars University winning the home court was 50%, but because Renai College did not meet the standard basketball venues, Stars University became the home team in the next round of the B region.
The Lingnan Sports Institute was selected from Area A, but it was not necessarily a good thing for them.
Because home advantage is only once per team, it is somewhat wasteful to use it in a game where there are more losses and fewer wins.
Southeast Institute of Technology is strong, except for the freshmen all have experience in the finals, the home advantage of Lingnan Sports Institute may not be enough to make up for the gap in strength.
Of course, they didn't have a chance to fight hard in front of the home crowd and fight for another upset.
Stars University is different, and this home field advantage comes at the right time.
Spending only once a season at home to get to the Final Four is definitely not a loss.
The hapless Feng Kangjian only returned to training on Friday and was not sure if he would be available for Sunday's game.
But if you can go back to team training, it will definitely be no big deal.
Zhou Ran hasn't come back on Friday, which makes Ding Yike very big.
Not only could she not carry out the core tactics that she was supposed to practice, but she also had to prepare for the possibility that she might not be able to play.
Fortunately, Zhou Ran did not declare that he was leaving the team, and Liao Yufeng also guaranteed that Zhou Ran would definitely go on Sunday, because this was his chance to defeat Tomic and become the first quarterback in South China.
Zhou Ran just went to do rehabilitation training by himself, and he wanted to recover at his own pace.
It's just that Ding Yike is still cautious, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens.
Saturday.
The basketball hall began to be set up before the game, but Ding Yike still decided to train more.
The team went to the outdoor court, and there were many people staying on Saturday and Sunday, and the basketball court, which would have been full in the afternoon, became extremely lively.
"I don't think they're any good!"
"If you have the ability, you can try it with them?"
"Just try!"
There was a lot of talk among the people who had come to play, and just as the basketball team was engaged in a half-court three-on-three practice, a tall, thin guy with fascinated confidence walked into the court.
Wei Xiao was in this field, and he and Bai Youweiduan formed a team to practice simplified tactical coordination with Lu Minghui, Liao Yufeng and Xiao Hei's team.
"Hey! Plus a team! β
This passer-by thought that Wei Xiao was playing wild ball, and he didn't notice that many people watching from the sidelines were laughing at him.
