Volume 1 Chapter 220: Mental Preparation
The girl's name is Huang Zixuan.
She is not the kind of girl who is particularly eye-catching in the crowd, she dresses very plainly, but there is no lack of a sense of intelligence.
Wei Xiao admitted that she was the person on the poster, and she also knew Wei Xiao's name through the poster.
Before Wei Xiao could respond, she introduced herself.
She comes from a teacher's college, and although she doesn't usually watch basketball, she especially admires boys who exercise regularly.
"Normally, you must have been training hard. But it's good, it's better than those boys who nest in the dormitory every day and play games. ”
Huang Zixuan was very talkative, but Wei Xiao really didn't know how to reply.
He didn't want to act very cold, after all, people also admired him, so they would take the initiative to talk, no matter if he turned around and left, or perfunctory, it was too uninteresting.
"I like it, so I'm happy to work hard."
After a few seconds, Wei Xiao finally held back a sentence.
Actually, he is quite contradictory.
There are girls who take the initiative to talk, which is unthinkable for many boys.
It's just that this girl is not particularly beautiful, and she is not the type she likes.
Even if it can make him feel excited, it is probably very tangled, because he has already put Tan Xin in his heart, and no matter who he develops a relationship with, it always feels a little weird.
Unless, he is sure that Tan Xin has no feelings for him and chooses to give up, then he can calmly accept a new relationship between men and women.
"Come on in the afternoon, I'll support you."
Huang Zixuan naturally couldn't guess what Wei Xiao was thinking, she just felt that Wei Xiao was very shy, and even felt a little cute.
"Thank you."
Wei Xiao nodded in gratitude, but other than that, he didn't know what to continue to say.
"Anyway, nice to meet you. I'll go back to take a lunch break first, and you should rest better so that you can perform better in the afternoon. ”
Huang Zixuan smiled goodbye, her smile was very kind, and it didn't make people feel that she and Wei Xiao had only known each other for a few minutes.
Wei Xiao only felt relieved, saying goodbye to this sudden new friend, and he focused all his energy on the game.
The start time of the game is 3 p.m.
It was only one o'clock, and the whole team was already concentrated in the locker room.
Feng Kangjian appeared in a jersey, his illness was very good, but he did not start this game.
Ding Yike is worried that his state will not be fully recovered, and it will be better to have the opportunity to come on as a substitute to find it first, and he is not sure that he can play a good starter, after all, this disease has made him lose several pounds, and the doctor also told him to pay more attention to rest.
Zhou Ran returned to the team on time at the assembly time, he looked no different from usual, and no one knew if his illness had been cured.
"This start is going to be a little bit different from the others. Xiaoyu Zhouran, I still hope you will cooperate more. Liao Yufeng Bai Youwei, this time your forward combination is responsible for the main attack, Yu Gaoshuang, you assist in the response, and the basket will be handed over to you. ”
Ding Yike cleanly confirmed the starting lineup, and Yu Gaoshuang was the most excited, because he knew that this lineup, the inside line was all supported by one person, and he had a great responsibility, which meant that only he was the most capable of this difficult task in the team.
"Congratulations."
Wei Xiao whispered congratulations to Bai Youwei.
finally became the starter, but Bai Youwei didn't have any special feelings, and naturally he didn't have any special expression.
Defend and counterattack.
This is Ding Yike's clear opening play.
The offensive positional battle was handed over to Liao Yufeng to handle, guard every ball, and immediately counterattack when there was an opportunity, with Xiaoyu and Zhou Ran leading the speed and rhythm.
With a clear policy, the whole team of Xingchen University firmly focused on the same goal and walked towards the already crowded stadium.
"Star University will win!"
"Gotta beat them!"
"Dominate South China! Fight for national dominance! ”
Under the organization of the basketball club, the audience kept shouting cheering slogans, although it was still a little inferior to Fuqing's home court, but this was enough to show the home advantage.
When Wei Xiao walked into the court, he had an unprecedented fresh experience.
He's played class games here, and he's been training here since he joined the varsity team, but this is the first time he's seen so many people packed into a basketball arena.
The stands were packed, and the aisles were full of people. Last year, Xingchen University also had a home game, but after playing Wei Xiao, he knew that the school team had a game that day.
He actually walked into the field as a game player, even if it was just a substitute, Wei Xiao already felt that this was the most glorious moment of his life so far.
Unlike previous national competitions, the audience was extremely unfamiliar. This time, almost all of the audience were classmates from Xingchen University.
Wei Xiao didn't know if the dormitory or the people in the class had come to see it, he only knew that if he had played an impressive performance in this game, he might be treated like a star in school for a long time afterward.
He finally understood that it was probably because the publicity of this game this week was particularly hot, and the discussion about the basketball team in the school was that there were girls like Huang Zixuan who took the initiative to talk to him.
Renai Academy came to the venue early to warm up, and there was no ball bully in their team.
Tomic is really not an ordinary player, and many viewers can see at a glance that he is the ace in the benevolence team.
Point guard Ren Zhennan came to play a board and dunk, which caused a burst of cheers from the benevolent cheering group from afar.
Small forward Zhang Bo and big forward Wen Zhiyu are shooting three-point shots. This kind of casual shooting Wen Zhiyu can also hit several in a row, but the stability is obviously not as good as Zhang Bo.
Center Du Lan is responsible for picking up the ball under the basket, and he will make a single move from time to time to make a throw.
He is the tallest and strongest player in the Renai team, and if he wasn't helping his teammates pick up the ball, many people who just came to join in the fun would think that he was the best one in Renai Academy.
Wei Xiao saw Tan Xin again, and when the cheerleaders were about to perform, he and Tan Xin looked at each other from a distance for a second.
Wei Xiao didn't dare to continue to make eye contact with Tan Xin, and quickly moved away, because since he found Tan Xin, he had secretly glanced at it from time to time. He didn't want Tan Xin to find out that he was secretly watching people.
The players of both teams finish the warm-up, and the cheerleaders enter the arena to perform.
The bench at Benevolence Academy cast envious glances because they don't just don't have a home stadium, they don't have cheerleaders yet.
Only by making it to the Final Four, which is likely to be webcast, will they have any hope of winning the school's commitment to their basketball team next year.
That's what motivated them to win, and if they win this one, they could make history as a team.
Another motivation for them is to present their head coach Sun He with a 40th birthday gift.
Sun He was wearing a suit, black-framed glasses, and a dignified and solemn face, which could be felt from his external temperament that the team of Renai Academy usually had strict discipline requirements.
He sat around with the five starters and gave the players a final message.
Liao Yufeng was in charge of the pre-game mobilization of the starters on the side of Xingchen University, and as usual, he simply emphasized the coach's arrangement.
In addition, he also specially reminded us to be mentally prepared to deal with arduous difficulties.
Although the football team did not succeed, this does not mean that the preparation of the Benevolence Academy is not sufficient.
They consciously understand the characteristics of each player in the opponent, and then the ball master may be just one of the links.
He never believed that just because of a ball bully, Renai College could defeat Guangfeng University.
The audience cheered.
Yu Gaoshuang successfully slapped the basketball thrown by the referee to Liao Yufeng, and Xingchen University got the first offensive ball.
The race is on.
Liao Yufeng directly acted as a playmaker, and raised two fingers on his left hand to signal a cross run.
Xiaoyu and Zhou Ran understood, and immediately sank into the bottom line to run.
Zhou Ran couldn't get rid of Tomyage, and Xiaoyu relied on speed to get a chance.
Catch the ball and shoot!
It's a pity that Xiaoyu is not a shooter after all, and if he throws in the middle and long range, he prefers to hold the ball by himself to find a feeling. The main thing is that the opening feeling is generally normal, and this ball failed to hit.
"Oh-"
The audience couldn't help but feel a sense of pity.
Yu Gaoshuang wanted to fight hard to grab the rebound, but he didn't have a chance at all, because the opposite Du Lan stuck him to death, which made it easier for Wen Zhiyu to win the rebound.
Renai College also played steadily at the beginning, Ren Zhennan was in charge of the organization, their starting five were all more than 1.9 meters tall, and the original starting center of Xingchen University was not on, so the height advantage had to be well used.
Zhang Bo found an opportunity to cut into the inside line, and Tomyage, who got the ball, feigned an attack and sent the ball away.
Nice pass!
Zhang Bo won the ball in the three-second zone and shot without hesitation.
Syllable!
It's a pity that Yu Gaoshuang rushed up with a cap and slapped the basketball hard.
"Ahh
He finished the block with a roar that drew laughter from the audience.
Defend and counterattack.
The starting five of the stars all remember this.
Focus on defending and use counter-attacks to build an advantage in the opening game.
"Tight!"
Liao Yufeng gave an order, and the defensive intensity suddenly increased.
Originally, there was not much time left, but Renai Academy was caught off guard, and Wen Zhiyu finally shot iron under Bai Youwei's interference.
Yu Gaoshuang and Liao Yufeng competed for rebounds together, and Zhou Ran and Xiaoyu had already rushed to the frontcourt.
Yu Gaoshuang tried his best to withstand Du Lan, and after Liao Yu harvested the rebound, it was a long pass.
Xiaoyu received the ball and immediately ran with the ball.
If he can cooperate with Zhou Ran, then this fast attack can be very easy.
But he can only be stubborn on his own.
Ren Zhennan's defense and speed are good, he is full of energy, firmly follows Xiaoyu, and is not in a hurry to steal.
Xiao Yu failed to rely on speed to create particularly good shooting opportunities, and after Zhou Ran behind him, he could only go on his own, but he was seriously interfered by Ren Zhennan and failed to score.
Ding Yike sighed obviously in frustration, the backcourt combination of Xiaoyu and Zhou Ran can obviously be second to none in South China, but now it has become the most worry-free existence.
