Basketball Dragon

Chapter 9 That School in New York
Basketball is a sport for five people. Li Hai showed amazing strength from the very beginning, but that doesn't mean that he is sure to win in the first middle school.

In fact, No. [-] Middle School fell into a bitter struggle.

Xincheng No. [-] Middle School did not hesitate to choose to attack Li Hai, but No. [-] Middle School's outside line has not opened up the situation for a long time.

"Don't let the ball stay in your hands, and shoot decisively when you have a chance." Guo Hongsheng shouted from the sidelines.

The opponent pinches Li Hai, as long as the first pass passes in time, there will be open opportunities, and as long as the shot is made, the situation can be controlled. In fact, both Wang Ruiyu and Liu Kai have baskets on the outside, but they feel that they are not in good shape.

"Good job, keep going like this, and get the opener."

The players in Xincheng No. [-] encouraged each other, and they have already played the feeling.

Li Hai secretly analyzed that if no one from the No. [-] middle school stood up at this time, he would have to take over the game by force, but if he was alone, the team would not be able to make it to the end.

When running towards the opponent's position, he passed by Liu Kai and said, "Why, you played so timidly, didn't you mean that you were the core of the team before?"

"I'm also the core of the team now." Liu Kai's eyes were fierce, and he opened his hands for the ball after halftime.

After Yang Letian passed the ball, Liu Kai immediately wiped it inside, pulled it up and shot.

The ball was slightly deflected, but the opponent's defense hadn't fully settled down yet. Li Hai tapped the bounced basketball into his hand, and one step forward was a dunk.

With Liu Kai's height and skills, he still has a chance against Xincheng No. [-] Middle School, but he is a little timid to prove that he does not belong to Li Hai on the court.

Liu Kai was a little annoyed when he missed the shot. When he attacked again, he shot another ball at a similar position. This time he adjusted his shot and the basketball hit the net hollow.

Liu Kai was originally the outside core of No. [-] Middle School. Last year when the two teams played against each other, he scored the most. Now that he made a strong hit, Xincheng No. [-] Middle School hesitated to attack Li Hai.

"If you want to do it, you can do it." During the transition between offense and defense, Li Hai took the opportunity to talk to Liu Kai again, "However, your weakness in passing the ball in time will be discovered by the opponent. Don't force yourself to do it so perfectly. I still have confidence in rebounding."

It's too insidious, so I thought that his performance was not good. If he played blindly and played singles, he would definitely hit Li Hai's way and expose his weaknesses, but if he honestly handed over the ball, he was a little unwilling. Liu Kai was secretly depressed. It's a big mistake to have a bad brain.

In order to perform perfectly and prove that he is the best player in No. [-] Middle School, Liu Kai was forced to start playing as Li Hai wanted, playing aggressively but not blindly.

After the outside line is activated, Li Hai will have more opportunities inside. Now No. [-] Middle School's tactical arrangements are often initiated from him. As long as he stands in a good position, Yang Letian will definitely pass the ball as much as possible.

It's not that Liu Kai is completely unclear, it's just that he needs a step up.

At the end of the half, No. [-] Middle School regained the lead.

"Their center is really too strong, I have never seen it before."

In the first half, Xincheng No. [-] High School replaced two players to defend Li Hai, and the number of players who helped defend him reached four.

At the beginning of the second half, after Li Hai interfered with the opponent's shooting, he quickly went down to complete the fast break, and then he succeeded in a layup in the pinch between the two.

As one went up and down, Yizhong immediately took the initiative. With the expansion of the lead, Yizhong played better and better, and finally won with 23 points to get off to a good start.

"You played well." After the game, Li Hai took the initiative to go to Liu Kai and said loudly.

Liu Kai was originally a little upset because Li Hai performed better than him, but after Li Hai said that, he couldn't say anything more.

In the world of basketball, there is nothing more embarrassing than victory.

During the game, Xia Weiliang was sitting on the sidelines and was shooting with a digital camera. Li Hai stepped forward and said, "When you are playing, let me help you shoot."

Xia Weiliang smiled and said: "No need, people from the student union also filmed, after the game video, just ask them to copy."

Li Haiqi said: "Then why are you shooting all the time?"

"Secret." Xia Weiliang said playfully with a trace of slyness in the corners of her eyes.

The first opponent of the women's team was not very strong, and the No. [-] Middle School defeated the opponent without any disturbance throughout the game.

After the first game of the men's team, several main rotation players are getting better and better, and they are going hand in hand with the women's team, working hard towards the goal of the regional championship.

Li Hai's test results in October were also not satisfactory, but he no longer had any worries before, and continued to study hard while participating in the selection competition.

"Li Hai, come to my room." One day in November, Xia Weiliang suddenly said to him.

For a moment, Li Hai still had various reveries in his mind, which made him a little ashamed.

"What is this?" Looking at the video played on the computer, Li Hai was very surprised.

"Haha, I did a good job, it's your physical test video and game clips." Xia Weiliang said excitedly.

"There is a condensed version and a long version. I plan to put the condensed version online as your college application materials. The long version will be brought directly to the college coach by Dad."

"Li Hai, don't worry about studying abroad. Just concentrate on playing well in the high school league. The college coaches will definitely be interested in watching the video of you playing. Although my father can only guarantee that the coach of one college will see the video."

Li Hai suddenly became interested, "It's the school that your father graduated from before and you are going to apply for it. Which school is it in New York?"

Xia Weiliang said cheerfully: "Syracuse University is very famous in the United States, and I plan to apply for their marketing major... By the way, their school's basketball is pretty good, and the coach's name is Jim Boyhan. "

"Syracuse University?" Li Hai was taken aback. He knew about this school, but he didn't dare to think too much about it.

Li Hai basically handed over all the matters of university application to Xia Weiliang, and he has gotten used to receiving so much help.

In the high school league, they also met the strongest opponent in the trials, Xingcheng Mingde.

The opponent was the champion of last year's trials, and he was obviously better than No. [-] Middle School in terms of height and tactical quality.

"The results you have achieved have surpassed your own, and you have gone further than last year. Let go and play, and I am proud of you." Coach Guo Hongsheng did not emphasize tactics before this game, but only encouraged them.

"come on, come on, come on!"

The palms of the players in No. [-] Middle School are stacked together. If they win another game, it will be the divisional finals. Go all out and fight hard.
