Chapter 51 The main point guard
The summer make-up classes are coming to an end soon, and the new semester is coming.With the graduation of senior three seniors Yu Dong, Xu Tianxiang and Lu Bin, the main positions of the three of them became vacant.Several people in the corresponding positions in the team are eyeing the starting position.

Yu Dong's starting center position naturally belongs to Li Jianwu.Not only because he is the only center in the team, but also in the past high school league, his performance has been very stable, fully demonstrating various skills as an insider and dominance at the basket.In the subsequent knockout rounds, his playing time was comparable to that of the starter Yu Dong, and even at the last moment of the final, he was the main force to end the game.

Xu Tianxiang's main power forward position, relatively more people want to get this position.Xu Tianxiang's substitute, Zhu Xiaobo, was originally the most likely to get this position, but considering that if Zhang Rui and Yang Guocan start together, and the Yuezhou No. 1 Squadron will play "one big and four small", then it is impossible for him to get this position.What's more, his height is only 192cm taller than Zhang Rui's.There is also a potential competitor in the competition for this position-Ying Xiong.Although Ying Xiong has always played the position of defender, considering his height of [-]cm, it seems that he can play any position on the court.People in the starting lineup are now paying attention to one thing, that is-what position should Ying Xiong play?
Lu Bin's starting point guard position is basically one of Ying Xiong or Chen Feng.Of course, whether Chen Feng has the opportunity to become a member of the starting lineup also depends on what position Ying Xiong plays.

As for the vacancies in the lineup, there will naturally be high school freshmen to fill them.According to the tradition of the Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron, the first-year high school freshmen will basically not appear in the starting lineup.Even a character as bullish as Ying Xiong can only play in the second team.

The suspense was soon revealed, and finally Shao Ziqiang announced the starting lineup for the new season: center Li Jianwu, power forward Zhang Rui, small forward Yang Guocan, shooting guard Shi Jiandong, and point guard Ying Xiong!
192cm tall to play point guard?If you haven't seen Ying Xiong from last year, some people will definitely be skeptical about it.After all, this is not the NBA, nor the CBA, but a high school league where there are a lot of centers with a height of more than 180cm.Let Ying Xiong, who is tall as a center, play point guard, this is indeed beyond the expectations of many people.In the eyes of everyone, although Ying Xiong was born as a point guard and has outstanding dribbling and organizational skills, in the eyes of ordinary people, positions are still ranked according to height.Many people believe that Yingxiong must be the starting power forward.

Shao Ziqiang's arrangement naturally has his reasons: Ying Xiong was born as a guard, and he is a ball-handler with extraordinary talent in offensive organization.Let him organize the offense with the ball, no matter which guard in the high school league, there is a natural dislocation advantage.If he was allowed to play power forward, it would be tantamount to restricting his powerful weapon. For a famous coach, he would never be able to do such a reckless thing.

The purpose of arranging Yang Guocan to start and let Zhang Rui play power forward is to make full use of the space on the court and let four players with stable 4-point shooting partner on the field. When Ying Xiong breaks through with the ball, the opponent will be in a dilemma.As a single insider, Li Jianwu can maximize his singles ability in the inside.And there is no disadvantage in this arrangement of height, even if the opponent's power forward is really tall and strong, Ying Xiong can also let Ying Xiong defend himself.

Apart from Zhu Xiaobo and Chen Feng being somewhat disappointed with Shao Ziqiang's arrangement, Zhang Rui in the starting lineup was also not very satisfied.From his point of view, he was originally the starter, and whether he adjusts or not has nothing to do with him. His position is very stable.What made him unhappy was that since Yang Guocan entered the starting lineup, Ying Xiong went to play point guard, and he was forced to the position of power forward.For a person who has always been reluctant to do dirty work, being a power forward and the opponent's position to grab rebounds is something he feels is very cheap.But the starting lineup was Shao Ziqiang's idea, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he dared not express his objection publicly.In his opinion, if Ying Xiong hadn't played point guard, he wouldn't have been adjusted to play power forward, so he put all the responsibilities on Ying Xiong's head.

This year, Yuezhou No. 2 Middle School specially recruited 1 outstanding basketball players, 1 center and 3 guard.Then through the school's open selection, another guard was selected.So there are [-] newcomers in total.

The new season of the high school league is about to kick off. As the defending champion, the basketball team of Yuezhou No. [-] Middle School will face the challenge of the visiting affiliated middle school team at home.

Since it was the first match of the new season for the Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron, coupled with the attraction of Ying Xiong who had just won the championship, this ordinary match aroused the enthusiasm of the fans.The basketball hall was full early, most of them supported the Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron, and some came to cheer for the affiliated middle school team.

It was the first time for Ying Xiong to start in the high school league. The moment he appeared on the stage, the audience applauded enthusiastically, mixed with cheers and screams, like an impassioned symphony.His popularity is evident.

Zhang Rui, who started together with Ying Xiong, had jealous and cold eyes in his eyes.Although he had to admit Ying Xiong's super strength, he didn't want the other side's foil.You know, how resounding the title of "No. [-] Middle School Rukawa Kaede" used to be!Nowadays, things are really different, how many fans of No. [-] Middle School still remember this name...

The game officially started after Li Jianwu and the center of the affiliated middle school team jumped the ball.

Although Li Jianwu is heavy, his bounce speed is not bad at all, and he successfully jumped the ball.

Yang Guocan got the ball and passed it to Ying Xiong.

When Ying Xiong got the ball, there were screams immediately, not because some girls shouted slogans like "Ying Xiong is so handsome" and "Ying Xiong I love you".

For this kind of scene, Ying Xiong seemed to be used to it, and calmly controlled the ball across the half.

The guard of the attached middle school team is only 173cm tall, while Yingxiong's height is 192cm, the difference between the two is a head.But even so, the defenders of the affiliated middle school team still didn't dare to intercept the opponent's ball rashly, and they didn't even dare to stick close.

——Ying Xiong is amazing, they really tasted it last season, and even tasted it twice.

Ying Xiong held the ball at the top of the arc and kept dribbling the ball under his crotch to observe the situation in the game.Suddenly, he hit the ground and passed the ball to Li Jianwu at the basket. The latter easily wiped the ball and scored 2 points.

Ying Xiong's pass was very subtle, and the affiliated high school team hadn't realized it yet, and Li Jianwu had already made it to the basket.

The affiliated middle school team was attacking, and the ball was tossed and tossed from the outside line, but they couldn't hit the inside line.In the end, the point guard rushed forward, but faced with Yingxiong's tough defense, he couldn't break through. In the end, he had to make a shot under the interference of Yingxiong's long arm, but he didn't even touch the frame...

Ying Xiong dribbled the ball across half court and called Li Jianwu for a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc.The opponent was too afraid of his scoring ability and directly double-teamed him.

With a light flick of Ying Xiong's wrist, a blow was passed to Li Jianwu who was in the empty seat.After Li Jianwu got the ball, he went to the basket, and the opponent had to give up his defender to help defend Li Jianwu.Li Jianwu points to Shi Jiandong outside the 3-point line in the bottom corner on the right.The latter took aim for a long time, and finally made a 3-point shot-a direct hit!
In the two rounds, the Yuezhou No. 5 Squadron had gains and took a temporary lead with a score of 0:[-].

The Affiliated Middle School team attacked, got a chance through a positioning screen, made a decisive shot, and scored 2 points.

Ying Xiong came over with a dribble and gave it to Shi Jiandong on the outside.Shi Jiandong passed it to Zhang Rui who was reaching for the ball.After Zhang Rui got the ball, he directly held the ball and went inside to kill.The affiliated high school team defended inside. At this time, Zhang Rui faced double-teaming. He did not choose to pass the ball to the open player, but chose to force it. As a result, he was capped by the opponent's center and fanned out of the baseline.

The right to the ball still belongs to the Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron.Yang Guocan served from the baseline to Ying Xiong at the top of the arc.Facing the opponent's guard, Ying Xiong took a cross step, followed by a large change of direction, threw off the opponent's guard with a big step, and rushed towards the basket.

Two players from the affiliated middle school team came to intercept, and Ying Xiong scored another goal, and once again found Shi Jiandong in the right corner.The latter made another 3-pointer!
"Wow——" Continuous screams erupted from the stands, and the Yuezhou No. 8 Squadron also led the affiliated middle school team with a score of 2:[-].

The Affiliated Middle School team was interfered with another layup. After Li Jianwu grabbed the rebound, he immediately passed it to Ying Xiong. On the head, a successful dunk!

The coach of the attached middle school team couldn't sit still and could only call a timeout.

In the ensuing game, the score difference of the affiliated middle school team was widened by the Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron, so that the second half completely became garbage time.The first-year freshmen of the Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron were very lucky, and they always got a lot of playing time in the first game.

In Yingxiong's first game as the main point guard of Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron, he easily defeated the affiliated middle school team and won a good start.
