Chapter 102 T.134: Land of the Rich

The day of the final of the Winter League is quietly approaching, and at the High School Affiliated to Phoenix City University, Lan Lie is ready to officially transfer to another school; and this decision is largely due to being invited by Shangguan Jinnan again.

"Tomorrow is the battle between the North and the South."

Shangguan Jinnan sat on the bench and asked, "Is it really good for Lie to leave Xiangshan Middle School like this?" Facing Shangguan Jinnan's question, Lan Lie, who was sitting on the bench beside him, had already put on The training uniform of the basketball team of the Municipal High School High School, the mood fluctuated for a long time before he said: "This is my own choice."

"Have you explained to the coach?" Shangguan Jinnan stood up and did warm-up exercises, "That's Hua Linglan."

Lan Lie gently shook his head and said: "I know she will do everything possible to keep me... After all, tomorrow's game is very important to her and Xiangshan Middle School."

"Then why..." Shangguan Jinnan picked up a basketball on the floor and asked, "You still chose to leave the Xiangshan Middle School basketball team without saying hello?"

Lan Lie stood up, stared at Shangguan Jinnan and said, "Because I believe that I just helped them get to this point. I didn't belong to the Xiangshan Middle School basketball team... I believe that they can rely on their own strength to win the finals. It would make them even more honorable."

Shangguan Jinnan smiled amusedly and then nodded. The two of them practiced basketball closely just like the days when they were together. The difference was that Lan Lie formally applied to join the basketball team of the High School Affiliated to Municipal University. Captain Qin Qing on the one hand Lan Lie's application was approved, and on the other hand, a one-week adaptation period was arranged for him: Lan Lie knew that only by performing well could he be truly recognized by this giant basketball team.

"Hey, Shangguan Jinnan!"

Lan Lie and Shangguan Jinnan were doing warm-up exercises. Two players in orange jerseys came from the side. The leader was tall and strong. He looked at the figure of Shangguan Jinnan and said, "32 points in a row. Shangguan Jinnan, who has 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks, did not lead the team to the finals, isn't it a bit embarrassing? Ha ha."

Guo Jianfeng, 18 years old, 196 cm tall, is the captain of the basketball team of Linhai Middle School and serves as a power forward.

"I heard that their captain almost got a quadruple-double!" A small player next to Guo Jianfeng said provocatively, "There are still several low-level mistakes, haha!"

Zheng Xiang, 17 years old, 179 cm tall, is a member of the basketball team of Linhai Middle School and serves as a point guard.

Facing the words of the two players in front of him, Shangguan Jinnan relaxed his muscles and bones and asked: "If you lose, you lose. There is no excuse... Only failure can make people grow."

"Well said!" Guo Jianfeng laughed out loud and said, "I like this kind of guy who knows himself! Be a low-key man! Humph."

"You..." Lan Lie on the side was enraged by such a provocation and was about to step forward to reason, when another person walking from the side stopped him: Qin Qing with a towel around her neck, her eyes dim and oppressive Said: "Now that we're all here, let's start, Dragon of the Northeast... Lin Hai Middle School."

Guo Jianfeng and Zheng Xiang waved their hands and turned to leave. Lan Lie said angrily: "It's so disgusting! These guys!"

"Lie." Qin Qing walked up to Lan Lie and patted him on the shoulder and said, "The opponent is Lin Hai Middle School, a strong team in the Northeast Division of the National Competition. It was one of the top [-] teams in the National League last year. Its strength is not ordinary...Although it is just a communication You should also take this opportunity to show yourself well. In addition, Lie, you should always pay attention to the opponent's core players to assist in the defense. Don't let Guo Jianfeng directly match up with Shangguan, you must keep in mind."

"Okay!" Lan Lie's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and Qin Qing continued: "The five players from Linhai Middle School are all officially starting, and it can be seen that they want to set up airs and memorial archways in front of us... Shangguan, Jing, hand over Here you go."

Shangguan Jinnan and Sun Jing are ready, and then in the spacious indoor basketball hall, the players of both sides are ready for the match. This friendly match is Fenghuang Municipal High School VS Linhai Middle School. The starting players are:

The players from the High School Affiliated to Municipal University and the players from Linhai Middle School are ready. This is the first time for Lan Lie to participate in the High School Affiliated to Municipal University as a starting player.Li Shiqiang and Sun Jing jumped the ball in the middle circle, and saw the basketball go up. The stop-point ball was given to Wu Dan, and the next moment, Guo Jianfeng made a direct pass to the inside line, took off and rushed to the basket to score!The score is 0:2!

"Strike!" Linhai Middle School got off to a strong start, and Qin Qing, who was on the sidelines of the court, said calmly in her school uniform: "Linhai Middle School, a typical inside team with strong players...especially the personal strength of the captain Guo Jianfeng, is the best in the national league. Very strong."

"It's not bad." Yu Yixian, who was sitting leisurely by the side, closed his eyes and said, "The front line in the penalty area is very lethal, and the big man at 196 is quite flexible."

The City High School Affiliated High School attacked, He Tianyu broke through with the ball from the outside, Zheng Xiang and Wu Dan blocked it, and the moment Shangguan Jinnan got the pass from the side of the basketball, Guo Jianfeng opened his arms to defend himself. He said enthusiastically, "Hmph, let me see Your Shangguan Jinnan once awakened the strength!"

Too bad, Shangguan and Guo Jianfeng are facing each other!Lan Lie kept Qin Qing's words in mind and immediately supported. Shangguan Jinnan took a step back and raised his hand to throw the pass sharply. I saw Lan Lie blasted away Ding Jun and flew in to catch the ball. Jumped up to block the shot, slapped away with one hand and flew out of bounds!

"Cut, little hairy child!"

Li Shiqiang contemptuously looked down on Lan Lie. His first shot with the ball seemed a little nervous. In Lin Hai Middle School's offensive stage, Wu Dan dribbled the ball to Zheng Xiang and then made a breakthrough from the side. He cooperated with the pick-and-roll to reach the bottom line. The basketball was running, and Li Shiqiang scored with a hand-to-hand assist!The score is 0:4!

Lin Hai Middle School scored consecutive points and morale was high. Qin Qing, who was sitting next to the field, gave Shangguan Jinnan a wink. The municipal high school attacked, He Tianyu broke through and scored for Sun Jingqiang to hit the basket. Guo Jianfeng supported Li Shiqiang and had no chance to block them. Shangguan Jinnan moved to the left, and Lan Lie immediately blocked Ding Junfei who switched to defend him very quickly!
"Beautiful pick-and-roll." Qin Qing from the sidelines was amazed. Shangguan Jinnan cut into the inside and Sun Jing responded immediately. MVP Shangguan Jinnan caught the ball and floated into the net with a jumper!The score is 2:4!

"Good shot!" The players clapped their hands in celebration. Lan Lie and Shangguan Jinnan were very encouraging and took turns to attack. Lin Hai Middle School confronted the ball from the outside until Guo Jianfeng hit the basket. Yang Ming couldn't resist being pushed away. Guo Jianfeng turned around and gestured. Must win!However, at this moment, Lan Lie jumped up and touched the bottom of the basketball along the offset trajectory...

"Grab the basketball!"

When Lan Lie landed and turned his head, Sun Jing picked up the rebound accurately and ended the offense. The basketball flew across the half court and launched a fast break. It's amazing to rush back to the defense with explosive speed!

"Returning to defense is really fast!" Yu Yixian said in surprise, "Such a big guy still has this speed."

Qin Qing nodded and said: "Guo Jianfeng and Shangguan are old acquaintances. They are called 'Guns' (lance) and 'Sword' (sword) and both have received intensive training in FBP; including altitude training and Targeted reinforcement... It's amazing that middle school students can have such explosive power."

He Tianyu stopped the ball and passed it to Lan Lie who rushed to the side. Lan Lie dribbled the ball outside and chose to break through. He leaned against Guo Jianfeng's defensive hands and held the ball. The next moment he took a big step and changed direction to perform a wonderful European step!
"That's all." Guo Jianfeng stepped back skillfully, bent his calf and jumped up to block Lan Lie's sight. Although he avoided the block with difficulty, Gao Fei's basketball track was too far to the left side of the basket, and Ding Junfei grabbed the rebound At this moment, Lan Lie realized that the ability of Lin Hai Middle School's players should not be underestimated.
