Chapter Fifty-Seven: Enemies Meet!
In this league, 93 teams from colleges and universities in the East China Division signed up, setting a record high.
As is customary, the top three teams from the previous edition are seeded and can directly enter the next round.
The teams from the fourth to the tenth place in the previous edition will also ensure that they are not in the same group to avoid premature death in the group and affect the excitement of the later games.
The competition system is very biased towards strong teams.
The remaining 90 teams are divided into 18 groups, with 5 teams each, to compete in a round-robin format.
Dongxiang University was placed in Group F, and its opponents in the same group were Hezhou University of Technology, which ranked 50th last year, Hangbei College of Engineering, which ranked 65th last year, and Sunan College of Arts and Sciences, which ranked 19th last year.
And, coincidentally, it couldn't be more coincidental, Tianhai Wunan University, which ranked 7th last year!
On the good side, Hezhou Institute of Technology, Hangbei Engineering and Southern Jiangsu Arts and Sciences are not too strong, and with Dongxiang's current strength, there should be no problem in defeating them.
On the bad side, they will face Tang Jing's old club and Dongxiang's sworn enemy in the same city in the first round, Wunan University, which ranked 7th last year.
In fact, in the past, Dongxiang regarded Wu Nan as a mortal enemy, but Wu Nan never regarded Dong Nan as an opponent.
One is ranked 7th, the other is ranked 31st, how do you let people treat you as an opponent?
You must know that Shangnan University was only ranked 9th last year!
Although Shangnan's ranking last year was lower than that of Wu Nan, and Qin Yu was absent due to injury, the reason why Wu Nan was able to rank 7th is also a reflection of his absolute strength.
In previous games, Wu Nan only sent two main players at most each time, and he was able to win Dongxiang by a big score.
The cruel thing is that in the first round of the round-robin, only the top of this group will qualify for the next round.
In other words, unless the eastern phase forces Wunan, it is possible to qualify!
As soon as the results of the draw were announced, a shadow hung over the team.
In the warm-up match against Shangnan, they lost by 4 points.
And Wu Nan's strength is definitely not below Shang Nan, so the difficulty of defeating Wu Nan can be imagined.
In any case, in a week, the qualifiers will officially begin.
The Tosho Budo team has entered a period of full preparation.
Wei Dong specially approved that all members of the Dongxiang martial arts team could temporarily suspend classes for a week so that they could train around the clock.
At six o'clock in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Tang Jing came to the martial arts field.
The official training began at eight o'clock, and he came out two hours early to practice the "Lost Steps".
In the last game, the "nine-tailed foxtrot" of enlightenment made him suffer a lot, and it also made him understand that his body style is indeed a shortcoming.
If you don't make up for this shortcoming, you will never be able to defeat enlightenment.
Perhaps, Chen Chong could not be defeated.
The third game of the group stage was against Wu Nan, and there was not much time left for him, so he was racing against time.
He will not forget Chen Chong's ridicule when he kicked himself out of the martial arts team, nor will he forget the humiliation that Wunan coach Qiu Yuan humiliated him that night. If abolishing Zhao Cheng is to say goodbye to the past, then defeating Wu Nan is to welcome the present!
Right now...... He wants to step on Chen Chong's body and step into the next round with his head held high!
When he entered the team's locker room, he found that Long Hao was already there.
I couldn't help but be stunned.
Long Hao saw Tang Jing and said passionately, "Stuffy gourd, you came too late! I know that you are the shortcoming of our team, why don't you know that the stupid bird flies first? Brother Long, I am very disappointed in you!"
Tang Jing didn't bother to talk to Long Hao, and began to change his training clothes.
saw Long Hao take out a roll of things from his bag, unfold it and hang it on the wall of the dressing room.
It is a picture, a powerful four words.
National dominance!
These four words are obviously from a basketball anime that is popular in Asia.
But hanging here, it's really just right!
Tang Jing looked at these four words and recited them silently in his heart!
National dominance!
After hanging up, Long Hao pointed at these four words vigorously and asked, "Do you know how to pronounce these four words?"
Tang Jing ignored it.
Long Hao didn't care, and continued to say to himself, "Hehe, from now on, this is Brother Long's goal!
Tang Jing continued to ignore it.
When he changed into his training clothes, Zhang Xiaoxi came in.
When I saw the four words on the wall, I smiled slightly.
"National dominance. Very well, we just want to have this momentum!
Long Hao rushed to Zhao Xiaoxi and said with a smile, "Of course it's Brother Long, I'm the deputy captain, I've decided, in order to help Dongxiang dominate the country, I will temporarily give up my dream of being a soldier king! So from today on, I will be the man who carries the whole team!"
The corners of Zhao Xiaoxi's mouth twitched slightly, and there was probably a black line on his face.
But he still patted Long Hao's shoulder and said seriously, "I support you." ”
After a battle against Shangnan, Zhao Xiaoxi saw Long Hao's strength. And after the game, Long Hao's obsession not to give up also moved his heart.
So now, he has long lost his original antipathy to Long Hao, but admires his personality.
Zhang Xiaoxi said again, "I bought some breakfast, have you all eaten? Eat some together if you haven't eaten, don't be hungry, but don't eat too much either." ”
"Hehe, it's better to be the vice captain, you guessed that I didn't eat. After Long Hao finished speaking, he immediately grabbed two big meat buns and gnawed them.
"Tang Jing, what about you?" Zhao Xiaoxi asked.
"I'm going to train first. ”
"Okay, I'll leave you two buns. ”
Most of the time, Zhao Xiaoxi is always gentle and takes care of every member of the team.
is probably the so-called "warm man".
It is said that although he is not strong, he also has several fans in the school.
Tang Jing practiced the "Lost Steps" outside for nearly two hours, and when he returned to the locker room sweating profusely, all the team members had arrived.
"I'm waiting for you, Tang Jing!" Wei Muze shouted.
Tang Jing walked over, then stretched out his hand.
Everyone's hands were folded.
Then, shouted in unison and vigorously.
"One, two, three!"
"Let's go, training ground!"
Wei Muze gave an order, and all the team members immediately walked out with enthusiasm.
When he went out, Zhang Xiaoxi quickly stuffed the bun into Tang Jing's hand.
The first thing in the morning was regular physical training, and the team members ran laps along the martial arts field.
Subsequently, light confrontation training is conducted.
In the presence of protective gear, one-on-one.
Wei Muze personally accompanied Tang Jing to fight, the purpose was to train Tang Jing's "Lost Steps" - Wei Muze's body style was also Lost Steps. He practiced for seven years, which was enough to guide Tang Jing.
"Come, you move to attack, I'll defend. Wei Muze said.
Tang Jing's footsteps flickered, and he instantly rushed to Wei Muze's right side, but saw Wei Muze turn to the right, and before he could attack, he was already facing him head-on.
There is no doubt that this displacement was unsuccessful.
Successful movement is about not having time for your opponent to turn sideways to face you so that you can have an advantage when attacking.
"One more time!" Wei Muze said.
Tang Jing flashed to the left this time, and then quickly rushed to Wei Muze's right side, seeing that he seemed to have deceived Wei Muze, he immediately raised his hand to prepare to attack, but saw that Wei Muze's kick had already swept away, so he had to resist with his arm.
Obviously, failed again!
"The swaying is too obvious, and when you exert your strength, you still rely on the soles of your feet too much, and the center of gravity of your body is not pressed enough, so the speed is slow!" Wei Muze said patiently.
Tang Jing nodded and said, "Come again!"
Almost forty minutes later, after hundreds of attempts, Tang Jing finally disrupted Wei Muze's pace with three consecutive displacements and won a chance to attack first.
Wei Muze showed a rare smile and said, "Very good, that's how it feels!"
But at this moment, two people wearing police uniforms walked up to Tang Jing.
One of the tall and thin policemen asked, "Is your name Tang Jing?"
Tang Jing frowned, although he didn't know why the police were looking for him, he still said, "I am." ”
"We are from the Meiyuan Town Public Security Bureau, someone reported that you abducted young children, you clean up and go to our bureau to talk about the situation!"
