The league director held an emergency meeting for all players in the afternoon of the next day. Neither Tiejin nor Lu Baida knew what the meeting was about, and the players were even more confused.

As soon as they entered the venue, the team members found seats and sat down. Binhai University of Technology arrived early and were arranged to sit in the first few rows. Wang Xiaowei and the others were four rows away from Binhai University of Technology.

On the rostrum, there were seven people sitting behind a row of tables covered with red cloth. They were all senior officials of the competition. The host was a man in his forties, with Mediterranean hair style, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved. He has a face that makes people unhappy when he is wearing it.

After everyone arrived, the host briefly talked about the main content of today's meeting, and the first item attracted everyone's attention.

"What! The competition is tomorrow, and the competition format is going to be changed today?"

"Isn't this a joke?"

"That's right! That's not fair!"

"Yes! Unfair!"

"It is recommended to change back to the previously announced competition format!"

The team members had very strong opinions on this content. Everyone was discussing it together, and the whole venue was like a vegetable market.

"Quiet! Quiet!" The host had to come out to maintain order. The team members temporarily stopped talking to see how the top management of the competition would explain this matter.

A long-faced man in his forties cleared his throat and explained: "The previous competition format was a single round-robin knockout, which made the game full of variables and made the competition more intense, but there was also a lot of luck involved."

Having said this, the team members below nodded in agreement.

"So, our competition organizers are thinking of changing the competition system this year to a points system. This will prevent strong teams from competing against each other before the finals. The points system can better reflect the capabilities of a strong team."

"Yes! Then why do you have to change it back?" A team member suddenly shouted.

"We don't want to do this, but the World Youth Championship is about to start, and our energy must be transferred to the World Youth Championship. Providing excellent players for the World Youth Championship is a key point, and leaving enough training for the World Youth Championship Time is also very important. We have been preparing for this competition system for a long time, and we also need to come up with contingency plans overnight for this kind of emergency. I hope everyone can understand our difficulties."

"I understand your difficulties, can you understand our difficulties?" Suddenly a team member shouted from below.

The long-faced man just turned to look at the host and asked with a straight face: "Which school's team member is this? Anyone who dares to question the decision of the competition will be immediately disqualified from the competition."

The team members' hearts trembled! Are their tempers so explosive?

"Don't question the decision of the tournament. If you think our decision is unreasonable, you can choose to abstain! You can leave now!" The long-faced man pulled even longer, and the audience in the audience didn't say a word.

The matter was decided under such pressure, and no one dared to ask what it would be like next year. The subsequent process went very quickly, and there was no discussion even when the results of the lottery came out.

But as soon as we exited the conference hall building, the scene changed again. There was a constant flow of people and constant curses.

"Brother Ji, do you think the change in the competition system is good or bad for us?" On the way back, Yang Haichao squeezed in between Wang Xiaowei and Zhou Peiqiang and asked.

"Whether you will gain or not depends on your strength. If you are strong, the knockout will be fast. If your strength is a little bit worse, the points competition will be more secure." Zhou Peiqiang explained, and then suddenly said: "What is the use of talking about this now? It has already been decided. matter."

"That's right, I think it's more important to listen to the football emperor analyze the match situation!" After Wang Xiaowei finished speaking, the teammates around him immediately

They immediately gathered around.

Seeing Zhou Peiqiang acting like an outsider, everyone was waiting for him to analyze, but only three words came out: "Go back and talk"! Everyone wanted to push Zhou Peiqiang to the ground and beat him up.

According to the draw, among the traditional top four teams in the first round, dB University of Political Science and Law and bb University of Agriculture will face off in the top half. This is the cruelty of the knockout rounds. This uncertainty will cause the traditional strong teams to be eliminated in the first round.

.

Another matchup in the upper half is Binhai Institute of Technology's first-round matchup against Kyoto University. If nothing else, it's basically a first-round trip.

Lu Baida was extremely lucky. In the first round, his opponent was qH University, a team recognized as the weakest among the quarterfinals. After advancing to the next round, he would face the winner of tY Polytechnic University and X University.

Perfect missed out on the traditional top four teams in the country in the first two rounds, and the top half was also called the "Group of Death" by the players.

"So compared to the other three strong teams, our luck is not too good. There is not much pressure in the first two rounds. Everyone just needs to adjust their mentality." Zhou Peiqiang briefly analyzed the draw situation for everyone, but found that the players were not interested.

, don’t ask: “What’s wrong? Am I analyzing it wrong?”

Kong Xiangyu stretched out and said: "With this analysis, we can all analyze it."

Zhou Peiqiang's team members were all nodding.

"Then what do you want to hear?"

"Analyze the competition in the first half, for example, who will win the battle between dB University of Political Science and Law and bb University of Agriculture?" Xie Yu stuffed a piece of chewing gum into his mouth and asked while chewing.

"It's hard to say. After all, bb Agricultural University fought with us until the last minute last year. The lineup has basically been retained this year. With the growth of experience, the strength has definitely improved. And dB Politics and Law

The university is also gaining momentum this year. It continues to follow its own team building philosophy and build a lineup that is taller than any other team in the CUBA league. This year it has also been easily promoted," Zhou Peiqiang said.

"Last year, bb Agricultural University also got a big deal. Just like our situation this year, last year Kyoto University and dB University of Political Science and Law were wiped out by us in the first two rounds!" Dai Zhiguang said.

"So, things are changing, and we will catch up this year." Yang Shengdi said with a smile.

"This year we can pay attention to Kyoto University's game. Their lineup has not changed much, but they have added a returnee from the United States to the team." Zhou Peiqiang said.

Wang Xiaowei immediately thought of Feng Liyong and asked, "How was he doing?"

"It's pretty good. He has the potential to become the number one player on the team."

"I can become humble in everything, except basketball!" Wang Xiaowei still remembers what Feng Liyong said when the two of them finally parted in City A. He also wants to try Feng Liyong's skills to see what he has done in the United States for so many years.

What terrifying progress there will be.

Even Zhou Peiqiang didn't know the relationship between Wang Xiaowei and Feng Liyong. When Wang Xiaowei asked this question, he thought Wang Xiaowei was interested in Feng Liyong. "Can we find out if we go and see it tomorrow?"

"Yeah!" Wang Xiaowei nodded.

The competition will arrange for the two teams in the top half to hold duels in the morning and afternoon respectively, and then a competition day will be held every other day, with competitions in the morning and afternoon. All competitions will be completed within one week, and the top three will be ranked.

The match between Kyoto University and Binhai Institute of Technology is in the afternoon. We originally arranged with Tiejin that Binhai Normal University’s team training should be held in the afternoon. Now there is a match between our brothers’ team, and everyone must be asking for cheers, so the training has been moved to the morning, resulting in Everyone missed the strong showdown between dB University of Political Science and Law and bb University of Agriculture.

During lunch, Zhou Peiqiang took his iPad and read to everyone the battle report of the morning's game.
