Rebirth of Basketball Boy

Chapter 384 War of Attrition (1)

Ji Gang took a meaningful look at Xu Yong who was silent, then he grinds out a cigarette to light it, and sighs, "I can fully understand what you think, so happy to see Lie! But Ah! Yong, you must remember that we have already lost one game, and we must not lose again in this game! Otherwise, we will completely lose the chance to qualify for the top four in the country!"

In another group A game that ended not long ago, Nanyang Model and Tsinghua High School Affiliated High School fought hard for four quarters, but they were finally killed by Yang Chao, a core player of Tsinghua High School, with a three-pointer, 55:56, one point. The fact that they missed the battle also caused them to be in a very unfavorable position on the way to compete for the right to qualify.

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

Ji Gang's words woke up like Xu Yong in a dream. His pupils suddenly widened, fiercely radiant, and clenched his fists, smashing his fist on the coffee table and spitting fire. "It's all my fault. If I acted decisively, maybe we still have a chance."

Ji Gang gently shook his head, flicked the soot, and laughed: "Ayong, don't blame yourself. Trust me, neither I nor your brothers will blame you. We know that you have done your best. It’s just that our luck is a little worse. It’s a shot that seems impossible to get into the basket."

Xu Yong closed his eyes and shook his head with painful expression, "Coach, don't tell me. Big Brother Yao told me that a true warrior will never be afraid to take responsibility. It is my fault that is my fault. You promise, making such a mistake once is the limit."

Yao Ming and Xu Yong, both born in a basketball family, can be regarded as half-life friends. They were good friends many years ago.There is no doubt that Dayao is the first Chinese basketball player at this stage. He has given Xu Yong a lot of help and encouragement in his growth.

Ji Gang nodded with satisfaction, then patted his hands after extinguishing the cigarette: "Losing this game may have a bad influence on the appearance of our team. However, this is definitely not our end of the world. As long as it is the end of the world. If the dream is still there, never give up hope. Frankly speaking, our next opponent, Shuiyun Yizhong does have a strong strength. But I still think that our chances of winning are still very high."

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

Just after noon the next day, the main basketball hall of Beijing Sport University began to have spectators one after another.Compared with Shuiyun No. 1 Middle School's last game, there are undoubtedly more gimmicks against the Nanyang model who is also the favorite to win the championship.In the first round of the game, the two teams won and lost, but this game is a battle they cannot afford to lose.Nanyang Models lost, needless to say, after two losses in two wars, they will go home in advance.And Shuiyun No. 1 High School cannot lose either. If there is no accident in another game in the same group, Tsinghua High School Affiliated High School will win without any suspense, and it is likely to be a big victory.If Shuiyun No. 1 Middle School loses to Nanyang Model, then they will completely surrender the initiative to qualify, because even if they beat Tsinghua High School in the last round, they are likely to decide the life and death of these three teams through relatively small points. .

Students studying in Beijing, catch up with office workers who have some time on the weekend and are interested in basketball, and some avid fans who came from Shandong or Shanghai to cheer for the teams they support... There is still nearly an hour before the game officially starts. , The basketball hall that can accommodate 5,000 people is already full.

Both the 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 hardware and software facilities. CCTV Sports Channel sent a heavyweight lineup to broadcast the game live.Because a certain leader took it seriously, there is now a basketball boom across the country. The most talked about by sports fans in the streets has changed from Chinese football losing a few goals to which team in the CHBA is more champion. phase.

What is good at the top will be great at the bottom.The CCTV sports channel has become a basketball channel.Why did table tennis become the national game?Isn't it because Taizu was sitting in front of the TV and shouted "Little ancestor, hurry up and win!"?Now that the sport that leaders are concerned about has 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 reporters, and the senior ball critic Xu Jicheng, who is affectionately called "Da Xu" by many basketball fans, are already in place. Because there is still some time before the game starts, they chat with each other. The communication also seemed relatively relaxed and casual.

"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 overwhelming!" Yu Jia joked with a smile. Everyone knows that Zhang Weiping's energy is strong, otherwise there are so many narrators, why did he just start a basketball training camp?

Zhang Weiping also laughed, "Tired, for sure. But seeing more and more potential new stars emerging in the country, I feel happy in my heart when I get tired. How do you say something? Gan Zhirui! Yes, I am now It's just as sweet as sweet!"

"I think you are an old wealth fan!" Xu Jicheng and Zhang Weiping have a very close personal relationship. The two have been dating for many years, so naturally they will not turn their faces because of a joke.

Zhang Weiping smiled without saying a word, explaining how much money is only for a game?Three to five hundred yuan is not enough to send a beggar, basketball training camp, that is his true cornucopia.The more popular basketball is in China, the faster he will make money and the more his family will have.

Everything is enough, but too much is too late. The Yu family knows this truth well, so he quickly shifted the topic to this game, "This game is probably a real ***! The strength of the two teams They are all strong, and they all have the strength to compete for the championship. Unfortunately, they met too early, which is really regrettable!"

Zhang Weiping nodded and agreed: "It is indeed the case. It can be said that although new stars are constantly emerging in this competition, there are actually only a few teams that can win the championship, Changchun 11th Middle School, Tsinghua High School, Shenyang 17th Middle School, Nanjing In Nineth Middle School, there are also these two teams. For good luck, these three strong teams are divided into the same group. Although their premature encounter will make the game more exciting, it will definitely be more exciting. Tragic!"

"I don't think so." Xu Jicheng shook his head and said: "In my opinion, those so-called favorites rarely become the ultimate champions. On the contrary, those teams that are unknown and not favored are often amazing. For example, in the Detroit Pistons in the NBA last year, I believe that before the start of the finals, at least 90% of fans believe that the Los Angeles Lakers who have the "four kings" will win the championship. But the result? So I don't think so. Being in a death group is not necessarily a bad thing, on the contrary, it is still a good thing. Being able to break out of such a group will definitely endure many tests and help them enter the state earlier in the semi-finals. ."

During the broadcast, the guest speakers spoke with each other, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.Today's protagonist, the players of the two teams fell silent in their respective locker rooms at the same time.

In the locker room of Shuiyun No. 1 Middle School, Xu Jianye is arranging the final time for tactical deployment. "Nanyang Model Middle School is a team with a combination of inside and outside, fierce defensive, and highly layered offense. They are also the strongest we have encountered so far. Opponents. Whether it is the previous Panyu Middle School or the earlier experimental middle school, there is a clear gap in overall strength compared to them. The Nanyang Model has three main attack points, one is Xu Yong, the swingman of the front guard His physical fitness is very good, and some people even say that his physical fitness is the best in Asia, with fast speed, high jumping, and not bad strength. He has a clear mind and outstanding consciousness. When on the court, he always knows what he should do. What should be done. Of course, no one is perfect, and Xu Yong cannot be without shortcomings, otherwise he is not Xu Yong, but James."

Xu Jianye saw a deep joke from the faces of the players, not wanting them to be too anxious, so he made a joke that was not funny.Of course, he didn't expect the players to cooperate with him in laughing. The battle is about to come. At this time, it will be no good to be too tight or too loose.

"His defense is his biggest weakness. Of course, Xu Yong's ability to defend and block shots is actually very good. After all, his physical fitness lies there. However, his one-to-one man-to-man defense, as well as There is a lack of supplementary cards. His shooting is also very unstable. When he is in good shape, he can be said to be a hundred shots. The defender can't stop him from scoring by putting his hands in his eyes; but when he is not in good shape, he is not It’s difficult for him to hit mid- and long-range shots. The second person who needs our attention is Cai Xiao, a model point guard in Nanyang. Currently, a member of the National Youth Team, he has a nickname called'Ghost ', the three-pointer is accurate, the ball is very stable, the offensive and defensive consciousness is excellent, the overall situation is very strong, it can be said to be a very good combo guard. The third is power forward Liu Dapeng, with long arms, comprehensive skills and ability He is good at shooting and has a keen sense of rebounding. It sounds like a "high-end", right? Hehe, he naturally has weaknesses. His biggest weakness is his physical confrontation and his physical fitness. , Xu Zhong, you must always pay attention to making physical contact with Liu Dapeng during 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, like a beast, he would never be afraid of physical confrontation.

"Today's game, we must base ourselves on defense. We would rather attack slowly and play less efficiently. We must also defend well! From the previous game, the Nanyang Model is not a good at fighting a stalemate. If you want to win against them, we must maintain enough patience and fight with them little by little!"
