basketball hero

Chapter 56

After Sun Jing quit the basketball team, her life has not changed, and so has her mood, which is still the same as before.She still loves basketball. Whenever the Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron has a game at home, as long as there is no urgent need to leave, she will basically go to the scene to watch it.The relationship between her and Ying Xiong has also become better and better, and she often chats with Ying Xiong about basketball, study and various aspects of life.

Ying Xiong's life is very regular, and the practice of Wuqinxi has not been missed. During this period, the growth rate of height is not as fast as last year, but it is still growing.Many people of the same age grew very slowly even for boys when they were in the second year of high school, and some even grew less than 1cm in a year.And girls, most of them have stopped growing taller.

By the end of the year, Ying Xiong's height had reached 195cm, surpassing Li Jianwu and becoming the team's first height.Under his leadership, the record of Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron was undefeated.The other high school teams in the ancient city didn't have much confidence when they met the Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron.Because the gap in strength was too great, Ying Xiong was like a mountain, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get over it.

Shortly after the Chinese New Year, the knockout round is about to kick off.Like last year, the Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron undisputedly became the number one seed in the knockout round of the Yuezhou Regional High School League with a record of all victories.Coincidentally, their first opponent in this knockout round is still the same as last year, the basketball team of Yamamoto No. [-] Middle School.

Although the opponent is still the opponent from last year, the composition of the two teams has undergone a lot of changes due to the departure of the third-year players.For the Yamajo 8 Squadron, the 1th place against the 1st place is itself a challenger, and it is very difficult to beat the 8st place.The reason why the weak beat the strong makes people talk about it, and the big reason is that it appears very few times, so it is very precious.For Yamashiro No. [-] Squadron, it is difficult to imagine the difficulty of defeating Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron.A large part of the reason they were unwilling to touch Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron was because of the bug of Yingxiong in the opponent's team.With Yingxiong around, it was almost impossible for them to even win a game.But it is the [-]th place itself, and it was swept last year, so there is nothing to be disappointed.However, if they lose to the same opponent for two consecutive years, and they are all swept, it will affect the team's self-confidence to some extent.

Before the fight with Yamashiro No. [-] Squadron, Shao Ziqiang called Ying Xiong to the office and had a private conversation with him.

Shao Ziqiang went straight to the point: "Ying Xiong, you will show your full strength in this match!"

Ying Xiong was puzzled, not quite understanding why he said this.According to common sense, it seems a bit illogical to let oneself go all out against an opponent who was easily swept last year and is still No. 8 this year.But the coach must have a reason for saying this.

Even if Ying Xiong was puzzled, he would not refute Shao Ziqiang.He nodded and said, "I see!"

Shao Ziqiang smiled with satisfaction.He likes Ying Xiong very much. He unconditionally trusts and obeys his coach.For a team, this is very important. If the core players and the head coach seem to be in harmony and do not cooperate with the coach's command, it will be difficult for the team's cohesion and combat effectiveness to be of a high level.

In order to let Ying Xiong understand his intentions, Shao Ziqiang explained: "I know you are confused, why do you need to give your best to a team that ranks eighth. In fact, last year, there was only the first game of the final. You used your full strength, but not the whole game. For the rest of the game, you did not use more than 8 layers of strength."

Ying Xiong smiled embarrassedly when Shao Ziqiang told the truth.

Shao Ziqiang continued: "For this match, I just had a friend from the Guangsha team come to see me. I mentioned you to him before. He is very interested in you and wants to take this opportunity to see your performance on the field. .”

"Guangsha team?" Ying Xiong asked in surprise.

Shao Ziqiang smiled and said: "Maybe you don't know much about it. The domestic teams you know are probably in the CBA, such as Guangdong and Bayi. Let me introduce you: Guangsha team is a very The young team was just established last year, and they won the runner-up in the NBL last year. This year, they are very hopeful to win the championship and have great hope to be promoted to the CBA."

After listening to Shao Ziqiang's introduction, Ying Xiong had a little understanding of the Guangsha team.

Shao Ziqiang went on to say: "I am familiar with several high-level executives of the Guangsha team. I also know them very well and know their current situation. The Guangsha team is now looking for talents, especially for young people with potential and strength." Very interested. Ying Xiong, if you are chosen by them, I think it is a very good opportunity!"

Hearing Shao Ziqiang's words, Ying Xiong was very excited.Although the Guangsha team is still in the NBL, they are still working hard to be promoted to the CBA.For him, if he can join the Guangsha team, even if he plays in the NBL, he firmly believes that he can be promoted to the CBA with the team.For these rookies, young people like me have more opportunities and have unlimited possibilities to create their own basketball career.

Shao Ziqiang said: "That's why I asked you to fight with all your strength. The strength of the No. [-] Yamashiro Squadron is indeed far inferior to ours. Even if you don't fight, I don't think they can beat us. Let the senior management of Guangsha see your strength , even if you become famous in the circle in the future, you don't have to join Guangsha. But for you, this is a good opportunity, a chance to show your ability. Don't be nervous on the court, don't be afraid of making mistakes Or play conservatively by affecting your shooting percentage. Be yourself, play aggressively, and let the senior management of professional clubs see your strength!"

Ying Xiong nodded solemnly, and said seriously: "I understand what you mean, thank you coach for giving me this opportunity, I will perform well!"

Shao Ziqiang smiled with satisfaction.

The first match with the Yamashiro No. [-] Squadron was held at the home court of the Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron.The knockout round is no different than the round robin. If you lose, you will be eliminated directly, so basically the team will show its real strength at this time.The teams that enter the knockout round are basically the leaders of each district and county, with relatively strong strength, and the duel between each other will be more interesting.

The game has not yet started, and the basketball hall of Yuezhou No. [-] Middle School is full of seats.The defending champion Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron's first knockout match, as supporters and fans of the team, naturally they don't want to miss it.At this time, Ying Xiong is already the ace player of Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron, and also the pride of the school, with many fans.In the stands, there was even a large poster with Yingxiong printed on it, and a banner with Yingxiong's name printed on it, which shows how enthusiastic and crazy the fans are.

With Li Jianwu and the center forward of the Yamajoji Squadron jumping the ball in the middle circle, the game officially began.

The first was the attack by the Yamajo [-] Squadron.The defender of the Yamajoji Squadron dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, the center came out to cover, and after the ball was passed to the center, he handed it to the shooting guard.

The Yuezhou No. 3 Squadron was pressing very hard and did not give the opponent an open shot.Seeing that there was no chance, the Yamajo [-] Squadron made another pick-and-roll, and then the shooting guard made a [-]-pointer—the ball actually hit the board!

The Yamajo 3 Squadron was lucky and scored 3 points first, leading 0:[-].

Ying Xiong came over with a dribble, and the opponent's defender pressed hard.Because Yingxiong's height advantage is too obvious, he is worried about being misplaced, so the coach of Yamajo No. [-] Squadron asked his defenders to press forward to prevent him from making comfortable moves, and tried to let him pass the ball to other teammates to attack. .

Ying Xiong is not afraid of this level of pressing, he protects the ball and advances calmly, without giving the opponent any chance to steal the ball.After dribbling to the top of the arc, call Li Jianwu to come out and cover.

Li Jianwu's screen quality is very high, and he goes down immediately after the screen.The opponent didn't dare to ignore him, and was worried about Ying Xiong's strong offensive ability. The teammates on the weak side came to defend Li Jianwu, and the center and guard double-teamed Ying Xiong.

Ying Xiong didn't wait for the opponent to completely double-team him, a master pass passed to Yang Guocan who was open on the weak side.Yang Guocan received Ying Xiong's pass in a very good rhythm. He raised the knife and hit a 3-pointer.

——The score was evened out in an instant.

Here, the small forward of the Yamajoji Squadron hit a 3-pointer without the defensive player losing his position.From the beginning of the game to the present, Yamajo II Squadron has been very hot, and has hit two 1-pointers in one minute.

Ying Xiong came over with a dribble, passed it to Li Jianwu in the high position, and then made an air cut.The opponent's defense against Yingxiong is very strict, and he is always ready to double-team and assist the defense. Even if he does not have the ball, there is still one person following him, and the attention of others will not leave him.

Li Jianwu had no chance to pass back to Ying Xiong, but to Zhang Rui at the top of the arc. After Zhang Rui got the ball, he dribbled a step and made a shot—a miss!
The competition for the basket was very fierce, Ying Xiong jumped high and grabbed the rebound from the head of the opponent's center!Then he faced the opponent's two defenses at the basket and hit hard! 2+1!

The fans who had just scored two 3-pointers in a row and their morale was a little low, the atmosphere was instantly ignited by Ying Xiongdi's tough score, and cheers came and went.

With Ying Xiong's extra penalty hit, the score was equalized again.

The Yamajoji squadron defender dribbles over.Because the three-pointer feels hot, they hope to continue to feel the touch, so they start running tactics at the top of the arc and keep covering.

The Yuezhou No. 3 Squadron has been scored [-] points by the opponent in a row, and the defensive strength of the outside line has also been strengthened a lot. It does not give open opportunities and compresses the opponent's space to handle the ball as much as possible.

The Yamajoji Squadron finally ran out of a half-open opportunity, and a player who had just hit a 3-pointer hit a 3-pointer again!3 points in a row!The Yamajoji Squadron went crazy!

The members of Yuezhou No. [-] Squadron did not expect that the opponent's touch would be so hot.Obviously I have already defended in place, but the opponent can make a shot.

The Yamamoto No. 3 Squadron led by another [-] points, and the players were also very excited, with a higher level of participation in the game.Reflected on the defensive end, the enthusiasm and intensity of defense have gradually increased.
