Chapter 20 Sweeping the group stage (Please recommend and collect!)
Soon, the campus of No. [-] Middle School returned to calm.Everyone will not always focus on one thing, except of course learning.

The basketball team, including An Luo, spent every day in the roar of Liao Ning.However, their growth is very optimistic.In particular, An Luo's promotion has given everyone confidence that this year, the Ninth High School will go very far.

In this month, everyone has made great progress.Especially Sun Li, his talent should be the best in this school team. After receiving two months of systematic training, his strength has also improved by leaps and bounds.He is already very proficient in all kinds of back-to-basket and face-up positional offensive methods, footsteps, etc.He is no longer a jumping boy who can only grab rebounds and eat cakes like when he first joined the school team.

It is also inevitable that he will not become stronger. The Ninth Middle School does not have such powerful players who can feed him the ball. If he wants to play good statistics, he can only rely on himself.

On December 120th, the Sichuan Provincial High School Men's Basketball League started.A total of [-] and eight teams from various urban areas in the province gathered in Shudu for a one-month competition.The competition system of the league is the same as the city competition, and it is also divided into two stages: the group stage and the knockout stage.But the group stage is a bit different. The city stage has only one round, while the provincial stage has two rounds.The first round of the group stage is divided into [-] groups, each with eight teams, and the top two teams in the final points will enter the second round of the group stage.The competition venues are arranged in major universities in Shu City, Sichuan University, University of Electronic Science and Technology, Nanjing University, Jiaotong University, Sichuan Normal University and so on.The No. [-] Middle School was drawn by lots and placed in Group E, and all seven group matches were held at Southwest Petroleum University.

In the first round of the group stage, Shudu No. [-] Middle School, which had experienced the baptism of the city competition and almost played at home, swept the other teams in the same group with strong strength, showing the momentum of the city championship.

In the first two games, because Liao Ning was not sure about his team's actual combat ability, he went all out in the formation.An Luo and Sun Li, who have fully released their energy, have one inside and one outside, and they can be said to take what they want on the offensive end.Especially An Luo's three-pointer and fadeaway jumper made those two teams almost impossible to defend against.

Both games were won by big scores. An Luo won 26 in one game and 21 in one game; Sun Li won 18+11 in one game and 15+13 in one game.The stats are so luxurious that all the coaches are envious of Liao Ning.With such a core combination, what kind of cards are not easy to play with?Let them win in person.Besides, the other players in No. [-] High School were not weak, especially the defense, which made all the teams suffer.

Those teams that used to be inseparable from the Ninth Middle School are also very fortunate.After a month of rest, the team's strength has risen a lot.If he had encountered this version of Ninth High School, he would have been beaten even worse.

In the next five games, Liao Ning started training.He limited An Luo's playing time to 15 minutes per game.For the rest of the time, Sun Li led a group of defensive champions to fight against the opponent one by one.Although all the way to the present, the Ninth Middle School has basically relied on offense to win, but deep down in Liao Ning's heart, he still likes to defend.

An Luo felt very hurt. He had tasted the sweetness of the points brought by those individual awards, so he also cared about personal data.However, you still have to listen to the coach in the team, otherwise you may not have 15 minutes of playing time per game now.

As long as the thinking is not slippery, there are always more solutions than difficulties.Although the time is compressed, there is no limit to the right to shoot.In the remaining games, An Luo showed an extremely strong desire to attack, and the number of three-pointers and mid-range shots increased sharply.Thanks to the stability of An Luo's shooting, his average points per game have not decreased but increased.In almost every game he got off the field, the nine leading points have reached double digits.

After seven group matches, An Luo played an average of 19.4 minutes, scoring 24.5 points, 1.2 assists, and 1.3 rebounds.In the entire provincial group stage, although An Luo was not a player with good statistics, he was definitely amazing enough.After all, this was played in less than 10 minutes of playing time. If you let go of the game, the statistics may make people feel abnormal.

An Luo has also spread among the basketball circles in Sichuan Province.Especially those teams in the CUBA league began to pay attention to him.

A week later, the first round of the group stage of the provincial competition officially ended, and Shudu No. [-] Middle School entered the second stage with a record of complete victory.Although they won the city competition at the beginning, it felt easier to play the provincial competition than the city competition in Ninth Middle School!Surprising.

Next, the 32 qualifying teams will be divided into eight groups for the second stage of the group stage.The top two teams still qualify for the knockout round to compete for the final championship.

The second round is more difficult than the first round, but only a little.But Liao Ning no longer restricted An Luo's playing time, which made him very happy.Not only does he want to win the championship, but he also wants to win the MVP.He reckoned that the provincial competition should have more points than the city competition!It's a rare opportunity to earn points, An Luo doesn't want to miss it.

In the second week of the league, the Ninth Middle School moved to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.There, they will spend six days playing three games, which is much easier than the one game a day in the first stage.Liao Ning had only one request, to qualify as the top player in the group and get the initiative in the draw.To be on the safe side, he didn't want to meet those really strong teams in the first place.After all, it is still necessary to get a ticket to the National League first.

An Luo and the others did not disappoint him either. He continued his state in the first stage of the group stage, won three consecutive victories, and advanced to the knockout round.

But there are still some problems.In the competition in the Fucheng experiment, Sun Li was locked on this point.The opponent is also a strong defensive team, especially the defense against Sun Li, which is well done.As long as the Ninth Middle School has the ball, they will move forward, and the defender will stand between Sun Li and the ball, preventing him from receiving the ball, and then preventing him from cooperating with other players in the Ninth Middle School.As long as Fucheng Experiment has the ball, they will try their best to push Sun Li out of the three-second zone.The whole game was accompanied by countless little moves, which made Sun Li miserable.

Although he won in the end, it was not easy to win.If it weren't for An Luo's superb performance, the outcome might be unpredictable.

Furthermore, An Luo also has problems.Through so many games, anyone can find that An Luo doesn't like to hit the inside.Many times his tentative step has already passed the defender, and he will still choose to score a jumper.Although the shooting rate is very good, but how can it be safe to break into the inside line and score a layup!What's more, the connection between him and his teammates is almost one-sided. In the past, he would occasionally link up with his teammates during the city competition, but now he can't see it at all.As soon as the ball was in his hands, he couldn't get out. On the one hand, Liao Ning felt that he played too alone; Luo's ability to play the ball is also very poor.So Liao Ning was very worried that if the other party had studied it thoroughly, he would decisively give up on the others, and two or even three people would double-team.Once that happens, his offense with the ball will be completely restricted.Fortunately, An Luo's off-ball is unsolvable and can guarantee firepower output.

Of course, the others have more or less problems, but they are collectively manifested on the offensive end. In Liao Ning's view, it is harmless, as long as there are no problems on the defensive end.

After the group stage, there will be a three-day break.But for each team, it is impossible to rest.

As the saying goes: If you know yourself and your skin, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.After the lottery, each team will carefully study the next opponent.Study their tactical arrangements, study the technical characteristics of their core players, and study the coaching style of their coaches... so that targeted adjustments and deployments can be made.

The knockout rounds are cruel, and if you lose in a certain group match, you may have a chance to make up for it.But in the knockout round, it's over if you lose, and we will fight again next year.So everyone will go all out. Those strong teams may keep something in the group stage and hide something, but in the knockout round, if they still hide it, they may hide it until next year.

The same goes for Ninth High School.Liao Ning directly pointed out the problems he found, so that everyone knew.The tactical arrangements have not been adjusted much. The opponents in the first knockout round are not strong, as long as they can show their normal strength.

He focused more on the second round of the competition.He wants to lead the team to the semi-finals and participate in the National League.
