Chapter 45
Since the start of the knockout round, the Yuezhou No. 4 Squadron has overcome obstacles all the way, and has won 8 consecutive victories. Adding the 12 consecutive victories in the round robin, they have won a total of 2 consecutive victories.The last time they lost was last season!In the two rounds of the knockout round, they both advanced strongly with a score of 0:[-], and there are high calls for the championship.And its amazing second lineup is also talked about by people who pay attention to the high school league. Many people are predicting whether the other team that entered the final can let it experience defeat for the first time, and whether someone can really limit Yingxiong. .

"51" returned from the holiday, and another team that advanced to the final also surfaced.The basketball team of Quanzhou Senior Middle School successfully defeated the opponent with a total score of 2:1, and successfully met the basketball team of Yuezhou No. [-] Middle School in the final of the Yuezhou Regional High School League.

Quanzhou is a county-level city in the Yuezhou area, with a developed economy and a strong basketball atmosphere.Every administrative village in all townships and towns under Quanzhou City has its own basketball court.Throughout Quanzhou, the common people love basketball very much.Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the basketball court in the village is brightly lit.There are people of all ages who play basketball on the court, and it is really "basketball for all".

With such a solid basketball foundation, Quanzhou has a large number of outstanding basketball talents. The strength of the Quanzhou Senior High School basketball team is also very strong, and it is also one of the favorites to win the high school league this year.

After learning about the opponent in the final, the students in the Yuezhou No. [-] Middle School who followed the high school basketball league were actively discussing the opponent's situation.But almost no one would think that the Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron, which has a terrifying second team led by Ying Xiong, would lose.

On the morning of May 5, the first match of the final of the Yuezhou High School League will be held in the basketball hall of the high school of Yuezhou No. 8 Middle School.The Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron with better results in the round robin has the home field advantage.

Since it was the final, there were a lot of people who came to watch the game.Before the game started, the arena was already full of seats.Since the start of the knockout round, most of the people in the Yuezhou No. [-] Middle School basketball hall to watch the game were teachers and students of the school, but today is different. There are also many supporters of the Quanzhou Senior High School team who flocked into the stadium to watch the game. This is enough It can be seen how much people in Jeonju love basketball.Since it was the final of the high school league, there were even figures from several college basketball teams in the stands, which showed the high degree of attention to this game.

The starting lineup of the Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron for the finals was the same as before, with point guard Lu Bin, shooting guard Shi Jiandong, small forward Zhang Rui, power forward Xu Tianxiang, and center Yu Dong.

With Yu Dong and the opposing center jumping the ball at the center line, the game officially began.Since it was the final, both sides also attached great importance to it, so at the beginning, both sides played very cautiously, not attacking blindly, and not taking shots lightly.Coupled with some nervousness, both sides made a lot of mistakes at the beginning, and the shooting feel was very cold.It seems that you come and go, the scene is very lively, but the actual gains are not many.

The Quanzhou Senior High School team's style of play is somewhat similar to that of the Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron. They are all technical-oriented, with more tactical coordination, and the scene is pretty good.But if there are too many passes, if you are nervous, your movements will be stiff, and the number of mistakes will increase steadily.

Sun Jing, who was standing behind Yingxiong watching the game, said, "Yingxiong, everyone is a little nervous!"

Ying Xiong didn't turn around, but said slowly, "Because it's the final! I don't want to lose, I want to get off to a good start, but I think too much, and I can't pass or shoot decisively enough."

After 5 minutes, the people who watched the game were surprised to find that the score of the two sides was 4:4, which shows how low the shooting rate of the two sides is.

The game was so anxious, the audience was also very nervous, secretly worried about their home team.

Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron made personnel adjustments first.With a wave of his hand, Shao Ziqiang replaced Yu Dong and Lu Bin with Li Jianwu and Ying Xiong.

When Ying Xiongyi appeared on the stage, the audience immediately cheered, which shows how popular he is at home.

I didn't expect Ying Xiong to get a foul as soon as he played, which made the audience a little dumbfounded.

The All State High School team continued to serve. After a high pick-and-roll, the center caught the ball and passed it down to the pitcher in the corner.Unexpectedly, Zhang Rui beat him out.

Shao Ziqiang continued to make substitutions, Yang Guocan replaced Zhang Rui, and Chen Feng replaced Shi Jiandong.

Quanzhou Senior High School ran out of the opportunity through an off-ball positioning screen, and the point guard made the first 3-pointer of the field.

Li Jianwu served from the bottom line, Chen Feng dribbled the ball and passed it to Ying Xiong at the top of the arc.

As soon as Ying Xiong received the ball, the opponent suddenly double-teamed him...

Ying Xiong gave the point to Yang Guocan, and Yang Guocan broke through with the ball, causing the opponent's blocking foul.

All State High also started making changes, bringing in several rotation players.

Ying Xiong takes the ball out of bounds.He sent it to Chen Feng, and quickly made an air cut inside.Xu Tianxiang made an off-ball screen for him, and Chen Feng delivered the ball in time.

After Ying Xiong got the ball, he made a mid-range jumper - 2 points!
The score at this time was 6:7, and the Quanzhou High School team temporarily led by 1 point.

The guard from the Jeonju High School team dribbled the ball to the small forward who was 45 degrees to the left, and the center came up to cover him.Li Jianwu switched defenses, the small forward dislocated Li Jianwu in singles, changed forward and accelerated towards the penalty area.

Li Jianwu's footsteps were not slow. The opponent thought that he was so big that he would suffer a lot in terms of movement. They didn't expect to get rid of him completely, so they stopped the ball on the way.At this time, Ying Xiong suddenly stepped forward to double-team, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was flustered, he cut the ball cleanly, did not stop the ball after grabbing the ball, and suddenly made a long pass to find Chen Feng who was galloping in the frontcourt.

Ying Xiong's pass was very precise, and Chen Feng quickly rushed to the basket after getting the ball, causing the opponent's return foul.

Chen Feng made two free throws and the score was tied again.

Here, the Quanzhou Senior High School team played hard inside, which also caused Li Jianwu to foul.Also made two free throws and one, Li Jianwu protected the backcourt rebound and handed it to Ying Xiong to advance.

Ying Xiong held the ball beyond the front 3-point line, and Li Jianwu put up the pick-and-roll.The opponent chose to pinch Ying Xiong and let Li Jianwu go.

Ying Xiong immediately passed the ball to Li Jianwu, Li Jianwu took the ball and went down, and the opponent's power forward immediately defended him.Li Jianwu decisively passed the ball to Yang Guocan on the outside. What he didn't expect was that the opponent's rotation was very fast. Although Yang Guocan got an open space, he hesitated and the opponent immediately pushed forward.

Yang Guocan had no chance to shoot, so he could only pass the ball to Ying Xiong again.

After Ying Xiong got the ball, he pulled out his hand from outside the 3-point line-the ball hit the back frame and bounced out. He grabbed the offensive rebound by himself, took advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold, entered the penalty area, and hit a high rebound!
In this way, both sides defended very tightly, and the hit rate was not high.For the Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron, the opponents were naturally prepared in advance, and Xiangxiong used flanking methods to prevent him from receiving the ball, preventing him from easily breaking through, and letting him hand over the ball to other teammates to handle and attack.

As Li Jianwu missed the last shot, the Yuezhou No. 15 Squadron temporarily led the Quanzhou Senior High School team with 11:4 and a [-]-point advantage.It wasn't until this time that the supporters of Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron realized that the opponent was not easy to deal with.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the situation was still similar to the second half of the first quarter. The shooting percentages of both sides were not high until the game progressed to 4 minutes and 30 seconds of the second quarter. At this time, the score was 20:16. Leading by 4 points.

The coach of the statewide high school team requested a timeout.After the timeout, Shao Ziqiang replaced Ying Xiong and Xu Tianxiang, replaced by Yu Dong and Lu Bin—the "Twin Towers" continued to appear.

However, the Quanzhou Senior High School team did not make personnel adjustments, and it was still the same few people.

After the appearance of the twin towers of the Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron, they caused many fouls on the inside of the opponent and won several free throw opportunities.But today, the Shuangta's free throws were not very good, and Yu Dong even missed two free throws.

At this time, the Quanzhou High School team began to change players one after another, and the main players gradually returned to the field.As for the Yuezhou High School here, except for Li Jianwu, the starters in other positions have all returned to the field.

On the bench, Xu Tianxiang, with a towel covering his head, murmured to himself suspiciously: "It stands to reason that the 'Prince' should also perform."

Chen Feng asked puzzledly: "Brother Xiang, who is the 'Prince'?"

Xu Tianxiang explained: "The opponent's No. 8, the one wearing the armguard."

Chen Feng hurriedly searched for the "Prince" that Xu Tianxiang was talking about. After finding it, he continued to ask, "Brother Xiang, I remember that person hadn't scored before. Why did you call him 'Prince'?"

Xu Tianxiang nodded and said: "He hasn't scored yet today, and he is not like usual today. This 'Prince', named Chen Jiajie, is called 'Prince' mainly because his father is from Quanzhou No. [-] Middle School principal."

Chen Feng suddenly realized: "I think this prince missed a lot of shots in the first quarter, so it looks like that!"

Xu Tianxiang shook his head and said, "It's just that he doesn't feel good. Do you know how many points he scored in the last three games?"

Chen Feng said: "You can't say that you average more than 15 points per game, right?"

Xu Tianxiang shook his head and said, "Average 25 points per game!"

"Ah—" Chen Feng opened his mouth wide, with an expression of disbelief.You know, more than half of the second quarter has passed, and our team only scored 24 points.

Xu Tianxiang looked solemn: "It is impossible for the crown prince to be depressed throughout the game. We are only leading by 3 points now. If the crown prince opens, the situation may be reversed at any time."

Chen Feng said unconvinced: "We also feel bad today! It stands to reason that we did not perform well. If we performed normally, the score would definitely be much higher!"

Xu Tianxiang said: "Well, that's right, it also shows that the opponent's defense is very good!"

On this point, Chen Feng also had to agree.He himself played on the court just now, and he really felt that the opponent's defense is very sophisticated, the rotation speed is very fast, and the pressure on the ball is also well done.The low score of one's own side is not all due to the sluggish touch, but more due to the opponent's high-quality defense.
