Entering the quarterfinals of the Winter League is known as the watershed of the city's high-level basketball league, and it is also the minimum requirement to be able to participate in the national summer league qualifiers next year.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the basketball team of Xiangshan Middle School arrived at the main basketball stadium in the south of the city: Nanhe Center Arena, where the eye-catching quarter-finals will be held in one hour.After a group of people got off the bus, they attracted the attention of the surrounding pedestrians:
"Hey, look, look, it's Xiangshan Middle School!" "Are they going to compete with Lin Cheng No. [-] Middle School today?" "It's probably impossible to win, right?"

The passers-by in front of the South River Center Stadium looked at Ling Lan and the others talking about it, and Ling Lan led the players to the front hall inside the basketball stadium. With big bags and small bags.

"You guys are here!" Shi Qianqian held his stomach out of breath and said, "Today is terrible, the reporters from the TV station are all setting up recording equipment in the tube!"

"Ah?" Team members, you looked at me and I looked at you, and you suddenly lost your mind. Li Ying spread her hands and said with a helpless expression, "Well, the rookie king always wants Xianyu to stand up!"

Ling Lan was stunned for a while, looking at Shi Qianqian's large and small bags, and asked, "Who are you?"

"My..." Shi Qianqian hurriedly walked beside Ling Lan and said, "I bought these very powerful guys specially to cheer you up!"

"A very powerful guy?" Ling Lan tilted her head in confusion. When the group came to the team's locker room, Shi Qianqian spread the bags on the bench. It turned out that they were full of various energy drinks, American ginseng, etc. , concentrated drinks and even a bottle of Moutai!
"My mother!" Ling Lan looked at the large and small bottle in front of her and almost fell down. Li Ying picked up a bottle of high-strength concentrated energy drink and was about to unscrew it. Ling Lan quickly stopped him and said, "You want to die! Don't stop now!" drink this!"

Yang Hao picked up two bottles of fun with his left and right hands and said: "Hehe, to some extent, with these guys who are like fuel, our combat power may explode a lot!"

"Then you don't need to bring Moutai..." Ouyang Yuchen wiped his sweat with a bottle of 40° white wine in his hand and said, "This stuff will breathe fire..."

"No, no, no..." Shi Qianqian quickly took the Moutai in his hand and said, "I heard from others that this strong liquor is added to the powerful Red Bull drink..."

Ling Lan stretched out her hand to cover Shi Qianqian's mouth and interrupted, "Probably she will bleed to death from the seven orifices..."

Ye Fan looked at it for a while and said, "Thank you Shi Qianqian, we don't need these."

"How could it be..." Shi Qianqian had a desperate expression, and Cheng Wu at the side picked up a can of Red Bull and said, "Can you give this to me?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Cheng Wu, Shi Qianqian bent down and picked up another bottle, handed it to Cheng Wu and said, "Come on, Cheng Wu, this is what I can do... please !"

The others watched Shi Qianqian and Cheng Wu's tacit conversation with dull faces, Li Ying crossed her hands and said with disgust, "Tsk... a group of salted fish... put salt in the dead..."

"You are the salted fish!"

……

The battle for the quarterfinals between Xiangshan Middle School and Lin Cheng No. 10 Middle School attracted hundreds of spectators. Among them were many students from Lin Cheng No. [-] Middle School. They all wore green and white school uniforms and occupied the east side of the stand. A large area, the momentum is particularly spectacular. After [-] minutes, players from both sides entered the arena. Ling Lan walked out of the special passageway under the stands and was startled. The Nanhe Center Arena in front of her was full of seats.

"There are so many people..." Lan Xiao looked up and looked around the stands in shock. Shi Qianqian still carried her "powerful guy" and walked to the team rest area. Starting lineup:

"Student Zhu." Ling Lan looked at Zhu Chengshao and said, "Today is your first start, and you are facing an opponent like Lin Cheng No. [-] Middle School. Are you nervous?"

Zhu Chengshao shook his head and didn't answer, Ling Lan smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Student Zhu, you have only one task, to defend the shooting guard of Lin Cheng No. 3 Middle School, remember you are a [-]D guard, can you do it?"

Zhu Chengshao nodded and didn't answer. Ling Lan looked at his back and found it interesting. Yang Hao stood beside him and asked, "Why did you let Xiao Zhu start? Can he handle the intensity of this kind of competition?"

"He can." Lily said confidently, "This is part of our 'tactics'."

Yang Hao was at a loss and didn't quite understand Ling Lan's words. After the players from both sides took their positions on the court and were about to start the match, the stands suddenly became quiet. The moment the time at 10:00 on the timing screen began to change, the jump ball match began!
"It's started!" The atmosphere in the auditorium was immediately activated. Chen Chaohai and Sun Zhicheng were the first to touch the jump ball. Sun Zhicheng gave the ball to Zhao Lingyun on the left and Lin Cheng No. 0 Middle School immediately launched the first wave of attack!Zhao Lingyun dribbled the ball and made a quick breakthrough. Lan Lie and Li Ying, the frontcourt of Xiangshan Middle School, immediately withdrew to block. For a layup, Lan Lie opened his hand to block his attack. When they were about to collide, Zhao Lingyun passed the ball with his left hand to Ji Wenqing who was outside the three-point line. Come in, smooth sailing!The score is 2:[-]!

"Strike!" The players from Lin Cheng No. 10 Middle School withdrew to the backcourt. It only took [-] seconds for the first attack to make a quick decision. Xiangshan Middle School attacked. Li Ying took the ball to the frontcourt and Zhu Chengshao took a position to block Ji Wenqing. At this time, Lin Qian changed to defend Li Ying and didn't let him have a chance.

"Tsk...the pick-and-roll doesn't work." Li Ying withdrew from the three-point line in disdain and quickly threw the ball to Ye Fan, who turned his back on Zhao Lingfeng's defense and changed his footsteps. The ball missed Ye Fan's path, and the ball bounced out of bounds, and the referee whistled: "The red team's ball!"

"Ye Fan was distracted..." Ling Lan looked at the scene just now vigilantly and said, "Are you really not used to this kind of high-intensity competition?"

Zhu Chengshao from the outside line sent the ball to Li Ying, and there were 7 seconds left in the attack time. Li Ying saw that the pick-and-roll tactics were not working and had to pass the ball to the inside line. Sun Zhicheng grabbed the rebound when he bounced on the basket.

"Wow, it's so high!" There was a burst of exclamation from the stands. Lin Cheng made an attack, and Ji Wenqing dribbled the ball forward and quickly passed it to Zhao Lingyun. This moment was the second confrontation between him and Lan Lie. Zhao Lingyun made two fake moves Lan Lie didn't make a move after that, Lan Lie guarded him very vigilantly, but at this moment Zhao Lingfeng ran out from the inside, at the same time Zhao Lingyun moved to the left, Lan Lie just moved his feet to defend but bumped into Zhao Lingfeng!
"What, a low pick-and-roll!" Ling Lan from the sidelines looked at the scene in disbelief, "Lin Cheng Yizhong's tactics are so strong!" Zhao Lingyun threw away Lan Lie's defense and directly scored the ball with a jumper, stealing the cake!The score is 0:4!
