"The opponent is coming."

The players from the first center all turned their heads and looked at their opponents.

A group of players from Kwai Chung Middle School also looked at Zhuang Yu and others. Their eyes collided in the air, and the smell of gunpowder smoke could be smelled in the air.

This is a group match, but it is a must-win for both sides, because only the top two in each group can qualify. The competition is cruel, so every game is important.

And this is the first one, so it’s especially important.

After a confrontation, the two sides looked away, but hostility could be seen on everyone's face, without any attempt to hide it, and there was no need to hide it.

There is an inexplicable sense of superiority in the eyes of the players from Kwai Chung Middle School. A group of people always hold their heads high and assume a condescending posture.

"Made, you look so condescending, who are you looking down on?" Yang Fei muttered: "You participate in the North and South Division Competition every year and are eliminated every year. You are a hammer."

"Who is the Xiangjiang representative team? They just look down on us from the mainland." Han Hui curled his lips, "If you ask me, their special qualifications should be cancelled. The Qingbei Affiliated Middle School was last year's national champion and received the special qualification.

There’s nothing wrong with their qualifications, so what makes their Hong Kong representative team?”

"That's right..." Others echoed.

In the North and South Division Competition, in addition to the original nine participating teams from the North and South, there are two additional special teams, one is the Xiangjiang representative team, and the other is last year's national championship.

Last year, Qingbei Affiliated High School won the national championship, so according to the rules, it automatically entered the North and South Division Competition. After the draw, it was placed in the North District, and the Xiangjiang team was placed in the South District.

All the participating teams had no objection to the defending champion entering the North-South Division Competition directly, but the quota for the Hong Kong representative team was not recognized by many people.

Moreover, the strength of the Xiangjiang team has not been recognized. They compete every year, but their results are average.

"Okay." Yuan Feng said to Yang Fei with a straight face, "Stop talking nonsense, warm up quickly, and have a good fight later."

"oh."

"knew."

Several people responded.

The warm-up was over in the blink of an eye, and the players from both sides returned to the sidelines.

In front of the technical stage, two commentators held microphones and were introducing today's participating teams. The coaches of the two teams were also making pre-game arrangements.

...

Next to Kwai Chung Secondary School.

The coach of Kwai Chung Middle School had been observing the players of Jiangning No. 1 Middle School just now, and found that except for a No. 7 and a No. 15, the others seemed to be average.

He said: "I understand that the opponent is not a strong old team. It is the first time to enter the Southern District Competition in recent years. It may not be very strong. I just observed that the opponent's No. 7 and the 15

No. 1’s shooting shouldn’t be bad, his movements are very beautiful. The others are nothing special, so keep an eye on these two guys later.”

"yes."

The players responded.

The coach of Kwai Chung Middle School nodded and warned: "Remember, we have to be patient and follow our tactics. The counterattack speed must be fast and the passing speed must be fast. Move them all and use our speed."

Advantages, understand?”

...

No. 1 Middle School over here.

Zhuang Yu and others gathered around coach Yang Guohui.

Coach Yang Guohui's expression was serious. It was his first time participating in the Southern District Competition. He was actually a little nervous. He said in a deep voice: "We have limited knowledge about Kwai Chung Middle School. It is difficult to make targeted arrangements now."

"Just play as we did during training."

"Zhuang Yu." He didn't make too many arrangements, but looked at Zhuang Yu, "Pay attention to your opponent and make adjustments at any time."

The reason why coach Yang Guohui doesn't have too many arrangements is actually because Zhuang Yu is half a coach. Especially when encountering such an opponent he doesn't understand, coach Yang Guohui believes that he should trust Zhuang Yu and let him adjust at any time on the court to deal with more difficult situations.

good.

Zhuang Yu nodded heavily: "Yes."

...

The game begins.

When the players from both sides came to the court, there were two huge screens above the court, and on the data monitors, the names of the starting players of both sides were printed.

At the same time, the commentator was also broadcasting: "Today's starting five for Xiangjiang Kwai Chung Middle School are center Shao Jiarong (198cm), power forward Li Bin (194cm), small forward Fan Xuelin (189cm), shooting guard Huang Jun (185), and point guard Bian Hewei

(178cm).”

As for Jiangning No. 1 Middle School, there are still "one large and four primary schools", but Han Hui's previous position was replaced by Yuan Feng.

First is the jump ball.

Kwai Chung Middle School center Shao Jiarong glanced at Yuan Feng, curled his lips, and winked at defender Bian Hewei, meaning "I'll take a picture of you later."

Bian Hewei nodded.

But the two of them didn't know that their eye contact was seen by Zhuang Yu.

When the referee threw the ball into the air, it was Shao Jiarong who hit the ball first and slapped the ball in the direction of Bian Hewei. Bian Hewei stood at the three-point line in the backcourt, still some distance from the center circle. As long as Shao Jiarong flicked the ball over, he didn't have to

Just fight for it, get the ball and push forward slowly.

In fact, Bian Hewei also had the same idea, just waiting for Shao Jiarong to bat the ball over.

Just as the figure flashed, a person suddenly rushed out and cut off the ball that Shao Jiarong shot in front of him, leaving him stunned for a moment.

"What?"

"Robbed!"

People in the audience were also surprised.

The one who stole the ball was Zhuang Yu. He had no hope for Han Hui's jump ball. He basically lost the jump ball in the first center and rarely won.

He happened to see Shao Jiarong and Bian Hewei winking again, so he kept staring at Bian Hewei's position. When the referee shot the ball into the air, he had already started it immediately.

After successfully stealing the ball, Zhuang Yu did not pause at all, because most of the players were still in the center circle at this time, which meant that Kwai Chung Secondary School was almost undefended in the half.

In front of him, there was only Bian Hewei.

Zhuang Yu rushed towards Bian Hewei, then changed direction, switched the ball to his left hand, took a step forward, then hugged the ball and took three big steps. Bian Hewei reacted quickly, immediately turned sideways, and quickly backed away, bending down and ready to jump at any time.

.

It's just that he is less than 1.8 meters tall, while Zhuang Yu has grown a little more in the past two months, and his height has reached 1.85 meters.

The height difference is several centimeters, and Zhuang Yu's jumping is extremely good. Bian Hewei could not block the shot and could only watch Zhuang Yu lay up.

"pretty."

"nice shot!"

For a moment, cheers sounded.

Zhuang Yu turned around and retreated, leaving Bian Hewei standing under the basket with a gloomy face. He was intercepted at the beginning and allowed the opponent to score. He felt a little embarrassed.

The coach of Kwai Chung Middle School also felt embarrassed. He stood on the sidelines with his arms folded and his face darkened, as if someone owed him eight million.

Score 2:0.

Kwai Chung Secondary School attack.

Bian Hewei pushed forward with the ball. When he reached the frontcourt, he looked at Zhuang Yu with a bad face, and then called a pick-and-roll.

Originally, he wanted to use this pick-and-roll to escape, and then shoot directly from mid-range.

But as soon as the figure flashed, Zhuang Yu had already bypassed Shao Jiarong and blocked the front again.

Bian Hewei frowned, unwilling to give up. He wanted to score the goal in return, so he immediately broke through. He dribbled the ball with his hips, lowered his left shoulder, controlled the basketball with his left hand to accelerate, and planned to break through from the left side.

Bian Hewei is only 178 centimeters tall, but he is the main point guard of Kwai Chung Middle School. In addition to his excellent ball-handling skills, he relies on his speed.

Taking one step forward is really amazing.

Zhuang Yu was unprepared and was instantly passed by half of his body. However, he did not completely lose his defensive position. He quickly turned sideways and got close to Bian Hewei.

Seeing Zhuang Yu reacting so quickly, Bian Hewei was a little surprised. In previous games, the defender would have been completely beaten this time.

"snort."

Bian Hewei snorted, immediately hugged the basketball and stepped forward, actively looking for a confrontation, and grabbed a favorable position first, forcing Zhuang Yu to be unable to take off in a hurry. Then he lifted the ball, leaned back slightly, and shot a rebound shot.

brush!

The goal was scored and the score was 2:2.

"Good shot, Xiangjiang Kwai Chung Secondary School also scored." The commentator said: "It can be seen that No. 5 Bian Hewei of Kwai Chung Secondary School is very fast and plays very smartly. He first finds a confrontation and forces the opponent to be unable to jump, and then takes action.

....."

There were also discussions in the audience.

Zhuang Yu didn't pay attention, and quickly advanced with the ball in the backcourt. When he reached the frontcourt, Bian Hewei immediately pounced on him.

"Pick and roll."
