Rebirth of Basketball Boy

After three days of intense competition, the top 16 group stage of the 2004-2005 CHBA China High School Men's Basketball Championship finally decided four teams to advance to the ultimate semi-finals.The promotion process of Group A Shuiyun No. 1 Middle School can be said to be extremely thrilling. With only one percent chance of qualifying, he magically broke out of the group and entered the final four.In Group B, Changchun No. 11 High School thrived and won three battles and three victories. He won the group first place with an unrivaled advantage and successfully advanced.In the most critical third group match against Shenyang No. 17 Middle School in Group C, Nanjing No. 9 Middle School relied on Su Mo’s buzzer three-pointer in the last second to beat his opponent, just like Changchun No. 11 Middle School. It was a three-game victory.Cangzhou No. 4 Middle School in Group D has three lore in three games. Although they have won all three games, their way to advancement is far more thrilling than Changchun 11th Middle School and Nanjing No. 9 Middle School.

After the end of the group stage and before the start of the semi-finals, there was a day of rest. After all, the density of one game a day was too much. For the health of the students and players, it made the semi-finals more intense and intense. This decision of the committee is still very necessary.

In the south of the Yangtze River at the end of March, the birds and flowers are scented and the spring breeze is full. It is a good time for the fireworks to go down to Yangzhou in March. But at the end of March, Beijing is still cold and dusty. The members of Shuiyun No. 1 Middle School who survived the catastrophe did not go shopping. Although he was in a good mood for the first time, it was not a place to live. At least, their group of turtles from the countryside didn't think there was anything to visit in the capital.You are not a hero if you don't see the Great Wall, and you don't know the history if you don't look at the Forbidden City, but they don't have the slightest interest in visiting the mountains and rivers at this time.The semi-finals, which is more critical and harder to play than the group stage, are about to begin. Even people who are not sensible will know which is lighter and heavier at this time, leaving all their energy and physical strength for tomorrow's game.

Shuiyun No. 1 High School’s opponent in the semi-finals is Nanjing No. 9 High School, a team with very strong offensive firepower, averaging 89.3 points per game, ranking first in the team's total scoring list.In the group stage, Shenyang Seventeenth Middle School, which possessed the "inside giant" and "fist" Hande Jun, was destroyed by the continuous attack artillery fire from Nanjing Nine Middle School.The core player "Farewell Hook" Su Mo has averaged 24.4 points per game in previous games, ranking first among all participating players. It is the "Scoring King" of the current competition so far. What's more commendable is that, regardless of Su Mo's He has a wealth of offensive methods and a variety of scoring methods, but he rarely makes excessive shots and his shooting percentage is amazing. An outside player has a shooting percentage as high as 60%. What is this concept?Xu Jianye shook his head gently with the information in his hand. The team's performance is getting better and better, and the accommodation conditions are naturally improved. Now he has his own separate room, a large room, a living room, and a study room. , Now he is sitting in the study room, the warm sunlight shining through the window, and the whole person is leaning lazily on the back of the thick chair, but Xu Jianye’s face is full of sad expressions, Nanjing No. 9 High School is undoubtedly a piece Very difficult bones, but if Shuiyun Yizhong wants to go a step further and compete for the national championship in the finals, they will have to cross this hurdle.

The Nanjing No. 9 Middle School played in the standard "Southern style", which was fast, flexible, accurate, brave, and the players were fully skilled and cooperated in tacit understanding.The team’s tactics are active and changeable. When defending, it often uses expanded man-to-man defense and full-court press defense. The offensive resolutely implements the policy of "playing small and big", using and seizing every opportunity to launch a quick counterattack, emphasizing the strength of all players Pushing in and pushing forward quickly, and shooting as quickly as possible, this is very similar to Shuiyun Yizhong's play!Xu Jianye sighed slightly. Although Shuiyun No. 1 Middle School belongs to the northern team geographically, in fact they still have a lot in common with Nanjing No. 9 Middle School. The height of the players is generally not very high and there is no inside line. Standing center, emphasizing pressing defense, emphasizing offensive with the ball outside, it is conceivable that tomorrow's game will also be very good.

"Boom boom boom..."

There was a faint knock on the door, Xu Jianye put down the information gently, rubbed his eyes, stood up and walked out of the study.

Yan Lingfeng, who opened the door, had the same solemn expression as Xu Jianye. He didn't wait for Xu Jianye to greet him. He consciously sat down on the sofa. He picked up the teapot on the coffee table and poured himself a cup of Tieguanyin. He leaned back on the sofa and smiled with Erlang's legs tilted up and said: "Coach, with such a good sun, you should be careful of mold when you stay in the room."

"That's better than turning into a sand sculpture." Xu Jianye stretched his waist and sat down opposite Yan Lingfeng, "If you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasure Hall, let's just talk about it."

If the relationship between the two of them was barely close before, then after the match with Nanyang Model, they entered a period of tension, a period of hard ice, and Yan Lingfeng came here this time with the purpose of "breaking the ice." , He will stay in Shuiyun No. 1 Middle School for a long time. If Xu Jianye has always been out of touch with him, then it will not benefit him personally or the team.After all, Xu Jianye is still a very good coach in general, and Yan Lingfeng also likes to play under his command.

"I'm here to apologize to the coach." Yan Lingfeng said sincerely, "Because of my waywardness and stubbornness, I have brought you and the team a lot of trouble. I hope you can coach you. Regardless of the villain, forgive me this time."

"Are you a villain?" Xu Jianye raised his brows lightly, and the expression on his face was still calm. He didn't say forgive or not forgive, so he looked straight at Yan Lingfeng.

Xu Jianye would make a joke with himself, which means that he has forgiven himself in his heart. Yan Lingfeng knows this, but he doesn’t say anything, he just smiled and said: “As long as the coach is comfortable, then you say I am what I am."

"Bullshit!" Xu Jianye sipped lightly, of course just to behave. Although it is said that there is a cleaning sister to clean up every day, Xu Jianye is a qualified coach and can't do such unqualified things as spitting.

"Tomorrow's game, what do you think?" Xu Jianye changed the subject and asked Yan Lingfeng casually. Obviously he had already revealed that unpleasant page. Father and son have no overnight hatred, although the relationship between master and disciple is not as close as father and son. , But there is no need to worry about a little trivial matter.More importantly, Shuiyun One Middle School crawled out of the pit dug by Yan Lingfeng without any risk, so Xu Jianye didn't want to hold on.

"Nanjing Ninth Middle School, very strong." Yan Lingfeng slowly said after a moment of thought, "It is not easy to defeat them."

"Don't talk nonsense, say something useful." Xu Jianye waved his hand rudely and interrupted. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms and pulled out one from Gu Zi. He did not object to the players occasionally drinking. Little alcohol, but players are never allowed to smoke.

Yan Lingfeng tried hard not to look at the cigarettes floating in Zhao Senming's hand, tried to restrain the temptation of nicotine, took a deep breath, and said: "Nanjing Nine Middle School, fast and smart play style, so many teams are Very uncomfortable, especially some teams with big centers inside, often have to sacrifice strengths and shortcomings, attacking the strong with their own weaknesses, but I think our team should not have such troubles. To be honest In other words, our team and Nanjing No. 9 Middle School have many similarities in their playing styles, and the styles of the games are similar and incompatible. So in this case, playing on the spot becomes the most critical factor in winning."

"You missed the most important point." Xu Jianye squinted and sighed. After flicking the soot, he shook his head and said helplessly: "It's really a dog that can't change eating shit, these two bastards, eat a thousand beans. I don’t know the smell of beany!"

The two bastards mentioned by Xu Jianye are not other people. It is precisely because of participating in the conflict on the court that Sun Feiying and Zhao Senming, who were banned by the competition organizing committee for one game, were not allowed in the final of the Shandong Provincial Basketball Competition. Not sitting on the bench made Xu Jianye feel stretched and passive.This time again, Xu Jianye had secretly decided in his heart that no matter what, after returning to Shuiyun this time, he must get rid of these two black sheep.

Yan Lingfeng smirked and comforted Xu Jianye: "It's just a one-time suspension, and I can still make it to the final."

"Are you sure we can make it to the final!" Xu Jianye glared and roared angrily: "You really think Nanjing No. 9 Middle School is a dish. You can eat it if you want?"

"Coach, you're right!" Yan Lingfeng, who kept lowering her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes like a good baby after entering the room, suddenly changed her momentum and her eyes became sharper. He stood up and looked at Xu Jianye and replied: " In my eyes, Nanjing No. 9 Middle School is just one dish!"

"Desperate!" Xu Jianye shook his head dumbfoundedly. It is a good thing to have confidence, but he is also worried that Yan Lingfeng's confidence is too inflated, and that the arrogant soldier will be defeated. It is not a fiction, and he glared at Yan Lingfeng and said in a deep voice. : "Strategic contempt of opponents is right, but tactically, we must never underestimate the enemy. To be honest, the strength of Nanjing No. 9 Middle School was originally superior to us, not to mention that we lost all three of them all at once. In the case of a general, it is even more difficult to defeat Nanjing No. 9 Middle School!"

"Yeah." Yan Lingfeng sat down again and nodded gently, "Su Mo is very difficult to deal with."

"Oh?" Xu Jianye became interested, staring at Yan Lingfeng and asked: "Why is it so difficult to deal with?"

"Cunning like a fox, fierce like a wolf!" Yan Lingfeng commented on Su Mo one word at a time. On the Nanjing side, his impression of Su Mo can be said to be very deep. He knew that sooner or later, he would be there. When I met Su Mo on the field, I also knew that there would be a tragic and tragic duel between the two of them.He has been looking forward to this day, even though he is not sure of victory in his heart.

"How do you think we should fight?" Xu Jianye raised another question, as if Yan Lingfeng was not his player, but his brain, his assistant coach.

"How to fight?" Yan Lingfeng subconsciously repeated Xu Jianye's question, and then gently shook his head. He is not a coach, so he never thought about this problem. After a while, he asked him to come up with an idea. How can I do it?

Xu Jianye chuckled, as if he was not surprised by the result. He pressed the burnt cigarette butt out in the ashtray, sorted out his thoughts and was about to speak, but at this moment, the doorbell suddenly heard.

"Come in!" Xu Jianye yelled casually, no need to ask, now it must be a member of the team that knocks on the door, so there is no need to be so polite.
