Chapter 23 Start of the quarterfinals
In the fj school basketball hall, the players are training and waiting for the arrival of the coach.
"Captain, do you know what the coach has to announce?" Huang Jun asked Wang Yingdao.
"I don't know. The coach didn't tell me, so he asked me to announce you to come and say that there is something to announce. I guess it's about tomorrow's game." Wang Ying said.
"Oh, I guess it should be something about tomorrow's game." Huang Jun echoed.
After about 5 minutes, Li Mingshan came and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, I just had something to do and I was late." The first thing Li Ming did when he came to the stadium was to apologize, which was incredible.
"I asked you to come today. You must have guessed it more or less. Of course, whether you guessed it or not, I will announce it." Li Ming continued, "Our game with cb University will start at 5 p.m. tomorrow. There will be a knockout match. There is only one chance. If we lose, we will have to go home and come back next year. You don't need me much to know the importance.
"Coach, we know the importance of tomorrow, and we will also win it. Tomorrow will be our real test, and we will prove our own strength." Huang Jun looked at everyone and said to Li Ming.
"Coach Huang Jun is right. Tomorrow is a game to prove our strength. If we lose, we don't have to talk about winning the championship, but I believe we won't lose." Wang Ying echoed.
"You all know that's the best, so that I don't have to emphasize it again and again. No matter what happens in the game, we should be calm. The game is based on tactics, and we all listen to Huang Jun." Li Ming said again.
The fj university team, which is ready to go the next day, is already in the school car. Everyone is a little nervous about this game. After all, it's a knockout match. If you lose, it's over. It's false to say that you're not nervous.
"Captain, are you nervous?" Zhao Jie asked Wang Ying.
"I'm not nervous. This is not the first time I'm standing here. Instead, it's the first time for you and Huang Jun." Wang Ying said calmly.
"Captain, you're right. This is the first time for me and Zhao Jie. As for me, I'm not nervous at all. I'm just excited and excited." Huang Jun also said calmly.
"Ha ha, you are not simple. How can I, Zhao Jie, be simple? I still have to be in the limelight in the game." Zhao Jie said. Zhao Jie said that he was not nervous. It was fake. After all, it was the first time that he saw that they were not nervous, so he had to say that he was not nervous.
But their coach was a little worried about these two newcomers just now, but after listening to them, they no longer worry about them. They are very powerful players. If they can't overcome this pressure, it won't be a big deal.
The bus was carrying Huang Jun and a group of people, and they will soon arrive at the stadium where the game is held. At this time, there are a lot of spectators, and you can imagine how popular the basketball in this school is. Huang Jun and others who got out of the car went straight down to familiarize themselves with the basket of the field.
The coaches of both sides came together. The coach of the other side was Wang Qiang. The other party smiled and shook hands with Li Ming. Wang Qiang said, "Your results are good this year. You haven't lost yet, but if we were in your group, I believe we won't lose."
"Well, that means you think your players are better than my team, don't you?" Li Ming smiled.
"Yes, that's what I mean. I believe you will lose this game badly," Wang Qiang said.
"I'll give you this sentence again. I believe the result will be as you said, but it's not us, but you." Li Ming said disdainfully. Wang Qiang snorted, stopped talking, and walked straight back to his bench. The game between the two sides has not yet started, but the head coach has already met.
Wang Qiang, who walked back to the half, said to the players, "The coach of the other side just now said that you will lose this game miserably. Who do you think will lose more miserably?"
The players of cb said "affirm them" without thinking about it. Wang Qiang said with satisfaction, "Next is the starting lineup of this game: No. 9 center Ye Ming. No. 10 Daqian Huang Sheng, No. 13 Xiaoqian Xu Ying, No. 16 scorer Wang Bo, No. 15 point guard Zhang Ming.
Ye Ming, the center of the other side, and Xu Ying are the double core of the team. As the center, Ye Ming moves very fast and has a high sports quality. The small forward is very balanced at both ends of the attack and defense. Whether it is three points and two points or a breakthrough pass, it is very good.
"The coach of the other party is very awesome*. I hope you can slap him in the face for me. It's better to beat them. If he can't speak, just take a breath for your coach." Li Ming said. As for the starting line-up or something, there is no need to say. Anyway, everyone knows it.
"Hehe, coach, don't worry, we will vent my anger on you," Zhao Jieniu said.
The game is about to begin. In the first game of the quarterfinals, the winner will be the participants in the quarterfinals, so the importance of this game to both sides is self-evident.
The players on both sides are ready to jump the ball, Zhao Jie vs Ye Ming, Zhao Jie jumped again. The ball was in Huang Jun's hand. Before the other party returned to the defense in time, he passed it directly to the promised hand that had already sneaked into the other party's half. The promise made a three-point shot without any hesitation. Brush, and the ball entered the net. At the beginning, fj University took the lead and separated the field with an accurate three.
Zhang Ming controlled the ball after half-time and gave it to Ye Ming, who was inside. He carried Zhao Jie to score the ball. At the same time, the referee whistled, two plus one. He had the opportunity to score three points, returned the opponent's opening three points, and added a penalty.
When he came back, Huang Jun used Zhao Jie's cover to stop the jump shot. It was also his turn to attack from cb University. Zhang Ming gave the ball to Xu Ying's hand after half-time. Xu Ying cheated Xu Ying with a fake action and directly went into the basket to attract Zhao Jie's defense, and then gave the ball to Ye Ming's hand. Ye Ming directly and simply dunked.
cb college's decisiveness is not simple, especially the ball just now, perfect cooperation. Huang Jun looked at the cooperation just now and was also applauded. At the same time, he replayed the ball in his mind again, and Huang Jun began to learn to read in the game. The ability to read games is accumulated one game at a time, not two games a time.
Huang Jun controlled the ball and no longer thought about the ball in his mind, but focused on this attack. Huang Jun gave the ball directly to Zhao Jie, and he ran away. Zhao Jie played singles on his back and hit a few times in a row. Seeing that there was no good opportunity, he directly gave the ball to Wang Ying, who had a weak test. Wang Ying changed his way to break into the basket and threw the shot. Taking advantage of the time difference that the other party had not made up for the defense in time, he directly threw a throw to end the attack. Wang Ying's throwing is still good, but he doesn't use it much.
The opening efficiency of both sides is very high, and they are worthy of being strong teams. Of course, we are sure that the team of our protagonist is the strongest. Next, the two sides still hit several times. This hit rate directly left the opponent's coach speechless. This can't be blamed on the defense. The problem is that he can get in.
When there are still a few minutes left in the first quarter, the hit rate of both sides dropped at the same time. Is this discussed before the game? 25 to 24 in the first quarter, fj led one at the end of the first quarter. Although one point is not much, it has brought confidence to the players, at least not lagging behind.
Wang Qiang, the coach of the other side, was very dissatisfied with the result of the first quarter. He just shouted directly at the players. In Wang Qiang's heart, he still wanted to be more than ten points ahead of the other party in the first quarter. Unexpectedly, he was still one point behind. How could Wang Qiang stand it?
Li Ming was also a little dissatisfied with his players, only one point ahead. However, Li Ming didn't shout, and he was very calm.
