you are all star

Chapter 78
In fact, Beiyang Middle School hopes that DePauw Middle School can win the game and compete for the championship with them, because they don't have the confidence and courage in their hearts, and they are not absolutely sure that they can beat Edward Middle School, but in the end Edward Middle School still won. No matter how strong they are, they have to bite the bullet.

The principal of Beiyang Middle School also had high hopes for the coaches and players, and actively encouraged them. He was very excited when he learned that the school coaches led the players from the second group of junior high school to the finals, because it would increase the popularity of his school , Let him enroll more and more people, so he can earn more money. Therefore, he also specially gives preferential treatment to coaches and players, so that they don't have to go to class until the finals are over, and they can concentrate on preparing for the finals.

At the same time, Edward also issued his own notice, because Neil and his teammates lost the championship last year, and various rumors from the outside world complemented each other, making him hear cocoons in his ears. After hearing the news, he was very disappointed and sad. Looking forward to that boy Neil changing the history of the school's invincible history, but in the end he lost the game. Later, he wondered if it was because he didn't give Marcus and the team members enough time to prepare for the battle. He also firmly believed that there was such a possibility. , So, this year, after he heard that they entered the finals with an undefeated record, he directly gave Marcus such an order that he must get a place to participate in the National Youth Basketball Competition this year. Before, they could arrange their time freely.

After Neil and his teammates heard from Marcus that the principal gave them such a completely different consideration from last year, they were all very excited and happy, and they vowed in their hearts that they would definitely miss the welcome cup again this year.

Time slipped away quietly while the players on both sides were actively and seriously preparing for the game, and passed by quietly. In the blink of an eye, it came to the afternoon of the welcome cup finals.

The leaders of both sides, cheerleaders, players, cheering team and referees entered the arena amidst warm applause and the host's introduction.

When the time soon came to 5:30, the whistle of the referee rang in the lively stadium, and the host broadcast the start of the game. The players from both sides walked onto the field amidst applause. Under the command of the referee, Wei Wei hugged and saluted, expressing that friendship comes first and competition comes second, don't affect the friendship between the players and the school because of the competition.

Because the previous competitions had not been done before the start of the competition, they only hugged and saluted after the competition. Neil also saw the gap between this Beiyang Middle School and other middle schools through this action. They seemed to lose It seems that there is no pressure, very calm, very friendly, and very enthusiastic. He didn’t hold a grudge because he had fought against them before. Instead, he introduced himself with a polite smile, Neil Meet with your teammates and since they are all so genuinely warm and polite, respond to them in the same way.

The two sides hugged and greeted. After the introduction was completed, the referee sounded the whistle of "squeak..." and the two sides sent centers to jump the ball.

After Neil heard the whistle, he jumped up and gave the ball to his teammates to organize the attack. Seeing that Neil jumped the ball easily, Lavender led the cheerleaders below, shouted Neil's name, and kept talking Shouting loudly: "Neil, come on, Wolves come on!"

Seeing the deafening shouts, Beiyang Middle School also made their cheerleaders shout and go crazy. Although there is a huge difference in strength, they cannot lose to their opponents in terms of momentum.

Therefore, he also cheered for his players.

With the active cooperation of his teammates and his active cooperation, Neil scored the first goal steadily.

After watching the wave of offense they just organized, the leaders of Beiyang Middle School actively cooperated and shared the ball. When they want to attack, they run together and attack together. The LOGO icon of the wolf printed on their sportswear is like a group of ferocious wolves, which are pressing on the gleaming prey step by step, launching a wolf-like attack all the time.

After Neil led his teammates to score the first goal, he continued to fight, and when he came back to Beiyang Middle School, he also responded positively, counterattacked strongly, and scored the ball.

The game was very exciting, the score always rose alternately, no one could get rid of the other, the score was very tight, the offensive rhythm of the two teams was very fast, and the players on both sides could play and their skills were not bad.

Based on this situation, everyone present was thrilled to see it, and their hearts were beating all the time before they calmed down a little bit.

Watching the time pass by every minute and every second, and the game is always in great suspense. Both teams are active in defense. No one can easily score a point. It seems like both teams are consciously aware that offense is the best defense.

Finally, the first game ended, the two sides drew 18:18, and it was hard to tell who was the best. No one who watched the scene dared to jump to conclusions. Whoever will win today will definitely lose. Judging from the current competition, Edward Middle School is stronger, but Beiyang Middle School showed no flaws at all, and minimized mistakes as much as possible, which made Neil and his teammates unable to start. Li has become so strong, only to find out that they are really much better than before in many aspects.

During the break in the first quarter, Marcus told Neal and the team members: "You must not lose your temper, you must be calm, continue to play and cooperate, and continue to attack them like wolves. I guess the next game , they will inevitably be unable to keep up with their physical strength. In short, they cannot play singles. In the last game, you also saw that the tall and thin black kid against Neil was also top-notch. Neil was defended by him today, so he didn't take advantage It's cheap, so, you have to play team basketball, don't be a wolf, be a pack of wolves, because no matter how strong a wolf is, it can't beat a pack of wolves. The next thing you do when you play is to consume their energy and observe them all the time. When their offensive rhythm starts to slow down, you can use the accumulation of your running every night this year to pass the ball and give them a fast break."

Neil and his teammates agreed with what Marcus said during the break in the first quarter and said they would follow suit.

Back from the half quarter break, Beiyang Middle School organized the offense. They actively defended against the opponent, and the ball was shot, but the ball was hit, and the ball missed. Neil quickly rushed in to grab the rebound, and then began gesturing to spread out. While dribbling the ball forward, after dribbling through the midfield, Marcus stood up and said: "Don't rush for a layup, transfer the ball as much as possible, and look for the best shooting opportunity."

Neal will quickly pass the ball to his teammates and try to let the ball rotate among each teammate. When the opponent suddenly cannot defend against the person holding the ball, he can make a decisive shot.

Opponents are so dizzy by their quick transfer of the ball with only one or two dribbles, that they break down from time to time and lose their minds.

In less than 4 minutes of the second quarter, the score was stretched to 6 points, and among the 6 points, Neil assisted and his teammates scored. Neil presented a ground pass in just 4 minutes of this quarter. The ball, a back pass, a beautiful pass through the opponent's crotch, won waves of applause.

Beiyang Middle School looked at this scene and actively made adjustments, but after all, there are one or two skills on the court that are relatively similar in all aspects. In case of double-teaming and assisting defense, the opponent takes advantage of the gap, which is not good, and They cooperate like wolves and attack like wolves. Once they besiege one of them, the rest will wait for the opportunity to directly deal a fatal blow to them. Play steadily, slow down the offensive rhythm, and save energy for the final decisive moment.

The adjustment made by Beiyang Middle School is very critical and effective. They did not let the opponent continue to increase the score. They also played relatively steadily, and the point difference was always within 5 points.

Ke Neil is still playing team basketball with the Wolves, which keeps the Beiyang Middle School players on the run all the time. Naturally, their physical strength will be exhausted quickly, and they are not very old, the oldest is 13 years old.

But this is a cruel game. Since you choose, how can your opponent let it go easily?Unless you disarm and surrender early, surrender will attract all kinds of ridicule and belittlement, so you have to grit your teeth, bite the bullet, and continue to fight. Even if you lose, you still have to look up and lose with honor.

About 5 minutes before the game, the players on both sides were sweating profusely, their legs were sore and sore, but the game was not over yet, and everything had to go on. The players from Beiyang Middle School saw that Edward Middle School only led by 4 points. But now there are still 5 minutes left, and there is still some catching up, and I don't want to give up, so I have to wipe the sweat off my forehead and continue fighting.

Marcus saw that Neil and his teammates were almost exhausted. Even though they were physically stronger than each other, for the sake of safety, he asked the substitute to replace Neil to rest for two to three minutes and let him drink some water. The opponent has a little chance, and at the same time wants to save the excitement until the last moment.

In less than 2 minutes after Neal came down, the opponent narrowed the point difference to only 2 points. The audience in the audience tried their best to ask for Neal, but Marcus thought he was resting for 1 minute, but after 1 minute, he was defeated by the opponent. A 4:2 was played to tie the score.

Neil took what Marcus said to him during his break: "Remember this time you rest and let the other four teammates lead the opponent to the three-point line, and you wait outside the three-point line. The ball passed after they push in, there is a delay in it, you shoot decisively, but you must be steady."

Confidently replaced the player who had just come off the bench.

The wave of offensive balls after he came up belonged to them. Neil served the ball to the point guard, winked at him, and looked at his teammates and said: "Organize, push the ball forward, don't be afraid, pass it out if you can't move." Just do it."

The teammate understood what he meant, and after pushing the ball into the three-point line, he glanced at the opponent, who was within the three-point line, and gave the ball to Neil who was outside the three-point line without hesitation, and Neil took the ball. Glancing at the basket, he made a quick three-pointer. Since no one was defending, the ball went into the basket steadily.

Everyone in Beiyang Middle School was a little annoyed by this ball, and they were furious.

Next, Beiyang Middle School organized the offense, probably because they were annoyed by Neil's three-pointer just now. Their point guard pushed the ball beyond the three-point line and scored a three-pointer against the defense, but the ball hit On the basket, bounced back.

Neil in the penalty area grabbed a rebound and passed a long pass to a teammate outside the three-point line. The teammate held the ball and advanced quickly. When no one was defending, when the opponent chased him, the ball also entered the basket. The point difference has come To five points, and the game time is less than 1 minute.

The Beiyang Middle School players were disheartened, and already had the idea of ​​giving up in their hearts, but seeing a gleaming golden welcome cup on the rostrum, they regained confidence and courage, and continued to fight under pressure, but an offensive round It's over, and the score still hasn't changed, because they hit the iron again, and there are dozens of seconds left. After Neil pushed forward with the ball, he made another three-pointer, but the ball missed, but the time was almost run out by him. With more than ten seconds left, Beiyang Middle School had no choice but to give up.

At the end of the game, Marcus, Neil and their teammates finally got their wish and won the Welcome Cup after a year after losing the Welcome Cup last year.
