Chapter 384 War of Attrition 1

Ji Gang looked at the silent Xu Yong meaningfully, then grinded out a cigarette and lit it. He sighed and said, "I can fully understand what you think. I'm happy to see you!" But Yong, you must remember that we have lost one game, and we must not lose this game again! Otherwise, we will completely lose the opportunity to advance to the top four in the country!"

In another game in Group A that ended not long ago, after four quarters of the Nanyang model and Tsinghua Affiliated Middle School, they were finally defeated by a three-pointer by Yang Chao, the core player of Tsinghua Affiliated Middle School, 55:56, by one point, which also led to their struggle for the right to qualify in the group. Often unfavorable position.

Life is a one-line line, and you can't turn around and start again. The same is true of the game. If they lose, they will lose forever. No matter how unwilling and unconvinced they are, they can't change their fate of losing.

Ji Gang's words woke up Xu Yong in a dream. His pupils suddenly opened and were fierce. He gritted his teeth fiercely and clenched his fists. He punched the coffee table and his eyes were full of fire. "It's all my fault. If I had been decisive at that time, maybe we still have a chance."

Ji Gang shook his head gently, flicked the ashes and smiled, "A Yong, don't blame yourself. Believe me, neither I nor your brothers will blame you. We know that you have tried your best, but we are a little unlucky. It's a shot that doesn't seem impossible to get into the basket at all.

Xu Yong shook his head with his eyes closed in pain, "Coach, don't talk about it. Brother Yao told me that real warriors will never be afraid to take responsibility. My fault is my fault, but I assure you that making such a mistake once is the limit.

Yao Ming and Xu Yong, who were also born in a basketball family, are half friends. They were good friends many years ago. There is no doubt that Dayao is the first person in Chinese basketball at this stage, and he has given him a lot of help and encouragement on Xu Yong's growth path.

Ji Gang nodded with relief, then pressed the cigarette and clapped his hands: "Losing this game may have a very bad impact on the appearance of our team. However, this is definitely not the end of our world. As long as the dream is still there, never give up hope. Frankly speaking, our next opponent, Shuiyun No.1 Middle School, does have strong strength. But I still think we have a high chance of winning.

Xu Yong nodded firmly, "Coach, don't worry. I will do my best and will never let everyone down again!"

Just after noon the next day, the main basketball hall of Beijing Sports University began to enter one after another. Compared with the last game of Shuiyun No.1 Middle School, there are undoubtedly many more gimmicks against the Nanyang model who is also a favorite to win the championship. In the first round, the two teams won and lost one game, but this game was a battle they couldn't afford to lose. Nanyang model lost. Needless to say, after losing two battles, they will go home in advance. Shuiyun No.1 Middle School can also lose. If there is no accident in another game in the same group, there will be no suspense that Tsinghua Affiliated Middle School wins, and it is likely to be a big victory. If Shuiyun No.1 loses to Nanyang Model, they will completely hand over the initiative to qualify, because even if they defeat Tsinghua Affiliated Middle School in the last round, they are likely to decide the life and death of these three teams by relatively small points.

Students studying in Beijing, office workers who have some time and are interested in basketball on weekends, and some enthusiastic fans who come from Shandong or Shanghai to cheer for the teams they support... There is still nearly an hour before the official start of the game, which can accommodate 5 The basketball hall of 5,000 people is already full.

Bothe organizing committee and CCTV have paid enough attention to this focus battle. The game was arranged in the main stadium with the most advanced and complete software and hardware facilities, and CCTV Sports Channel sent a heavyweight lineup to broadcast the game live. Because a big leader paid attention to it, there has been a basketball craze all over the country. The most talked about by sports fans on the streets and alleys has changed from Chinese football losing a few more goals to which team in the CHBA is more champion.

If there is something good on the top, there must be something good on the bottom. CCTV Sports Channel has a tendency to become a basketball channel. Why did table tennis become the national ball? Isn't it because Taizu sat in front of the TV and shouted, "Little ancestor, win quickly!"? Now that the sports that leaders are concerned about have changed from national football to basketball, it is not difficult to understand this sudden upsurge.

In the broadcast room, Yu Jia, Zhang Weiping and Xinhua News Agency basketball reporter Xu Jicheng, a senior ball critic affectionately called "Da Xu" by many basketball fans, are already in place. Because there is still a period of time before the start of the game, they chat with each other and communicate with each other more relaxed and casually.

"Director Zhang, you have to be strong enough. Otherwise, after talking about the NBA in the morning, you will talk about CHBA in the afternoon, and there will be CBA waiting in the evening. This body is really unresible!" The Yu family joked with a smile. Everyone knows Zhang Weiping's vigorous energy, otherwise there are so many commentators. Why did he run a basketball training camp alone?

Zhang Weiping also smiled, "I'm tired, for sure. However, I am also happy to see more and more potential stars emerging in China. What's the saying? Sweet as a bun! Yes, I'm so happy now!"

"I think you are an old money fan!" Xu Jicheng and Zhang Weiping have a very good personal relationship. After many years of old friendship, they will naturally not turn against each other because of a joke.

Zhang Weiping smiled and said nothing. How much does it cost to explain a game? Three hundred yuan is not enough to send beggets, basketball training camp, that is his real treasure pot. The more popular basketball is in China, the faster he will make money and the more money he will have.

Everything can be stopped, and too much is not enough. Yu family can't understand this truth, so he quickly shifted the topic to this game, "I'm afraid this game is a real battle of dragons and tigers! Both teams are very strong and have the strength to compete for the championship. Unfortunately, it's a pity that they met too early!"

Zhang Weiping nodded and echoed: "It is true. It can be said that although new stars continue to emerge in this competition, in fact, only a few teams can win the championship, Changchun No. 11 Middle School, Tsinghua Affiliated Middle School, Shenyang No. 17 Middle School, Nanjing No. 9 Middle School, and these two teams. These three strong teams were divided into the same group. Although their early meeting will make the game more exciting, it will certainly be more tragic!"

"I don't think so." Xu Jicheng shook his head and said, "In my opinion, those so-called championship favourites rarely become the final champions. On the contrary, those unknown and unpopular teams often have amazing actions. For example, the Detroit Pistons of the NBA last year, I believe that at least 90% of the fans will think that the Los Angeles Lakers will win the championship before the start of the finals. But what about the result? Therefore, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to be separated in the death team. On the contrary, it's still a good thing. Being able to break out of such a group will certainly withstand many tests and help them enter the state earlier in the quarterfinals.

The commentator said that the guests were fighting during the broadcast, and the atmosphere was warm and they had a lot of fun. Today's protagonist, the members of the two teams fell into silence at the same time in their respective locker rooms.

In the locker room of Shuiyun No.1 Middle School, Xu Jianye is seizing the final time to arrange tactical deployment. "Nanyang Model Middle School is a team with a combination of internal and external strength, fierce defense and a sense of attack. They are also the strongest opponents we have encountered so far. Whether it is the previous Panyu Middle School or the earlier experimental middle school, there is a clear gap in overall strength compared with them. There are three main attack points of Nanyang model. One is Xu Yong, a swing man who has excellent physical fitness. Some people even say that his physical fitness is the best in Asia, with fast speed, high bounce and good strength. Clear-headed and conscious. When you are on the court, you always know what you should do and what you shouldn't do. Of course, no one is perfect, and Xu Yong can't have no shortcomings. Otherwise, he will be Xu Yong, but James.

Xu Jianye saw a deep fear in the faces of the team members and didn't want them to be too anxious, so he made a joke that was not funny. Of course, he did not expect the team members to cooperate with him to laugh. The war is coming soon. At this time, it is not good to be too tight or loose.

"His defense is his biggest weakness. Of course, in fact, Xu Yong's defense ability is still very good. After all, his physical fitness is there. However, his one-on-one man-to-man defense and supplementary card positions are lacking. His shooting is also very unstable. If he is in good condition, it can be said that he has a hundred shots, and the defender can't put his hand into his eyes to stop him from scoring. However, when he is in a bad state, even if no one disturbs, it is difficult for him to hit the medium and long-range shot. The second person that needs our special attention is Cai Xiao, a model point guard of Nanyang. At present, he is a member of the national junior team. He has a nickname called 'Ghost Talent' in the team. He is three-point accurate, has stable ball control, has a good sense of attack and defense, and has a strong view of the overall situation. He can be said to be a very good dual-power defender. Third, power forward Liu Dapeng, who is tall and has long arms, comprehensive skills, can shoot well, and has a keen sense of rebounding. It sounds like another 'high encyclopedia', doesn't it? Ha ha, he naturally has weaknesses. His biggest weakness is his physical confrontation and his physical fitness. Therefore, Xu Zhong, you must always pay attention to making physical contact with Liu Dapeng in the game and do everything possible to consume his physical energy. In this way, his threat to us will be greatly reduced.

Xu Zhong nodded silently. He, like a beast, would never be afraid of physical confrontation.

"In today's game, we must be based on defense. We would rather attack more slowly and play less efficiently, and we must also do a good job in defense! Judging from the last game, Nanyang Model is not a team that is good at fighting a protracted and deadlock. If we want to win against them, we must be patient enough to fight a war of attrition with them little by little!"
