The locker room of Tsinghua High School was a little dull.
Even though coach Zhang Tao kept cheering the players, the morale of Tsinghua High School still seemed to have not been fully restored.
They have been invincible for too long.
Even Linhai Puzhong 6 years ago only had a hard time breaking their hard nut in the last quarter.
Being led by 20 points at halftime?
This is a situation that Tsinghua Affiliated High School has never encountered since it started its road to consecutive championships.
This group of players on the team have never even experienced the defeat 6 years ago.
They are used to other people's praise.
Get used to others looking up to you.
Once you get used to it, as soon as you come on stage, you will sweep everything with overwhelming force!
Until today.
Until the fifth game of this year's finals.
The Zhenzhong school team, which had failed to draw with them in the previous four games.
It wasn't until this moment that their greatest weapon was unleashed.
Everyone in Tsinghua High School was caught off guard!
Coach Zhang Tao looked at the disappointed expressions of his players.
He knew that at this moment, all technical and tactical arrangements were irrelevant.
How to re-establish their inner self-confidence is the key.
Therefore, Zhang Tao returned to the work of motivating the team members.
…
It is completely different from the dullness of Tsinghua High School.
In the locker room of the Zhenzhong school team, the players looked quite relaxed.
"Hahaha, Teacher Lin is still so awesome. It wasn't until the last game that Zhou Lv was allowed to shoot three-pointers."
"All opponents thought that the brigade commander could only make mindless breakthroughs and mindless dunks. Who would have thought that he also had a unique three-point skill?"
"Lao Yue didn't shoot many three-pointers in previous games, and he also paralyzed his opponents, hahaha."
"How could they know that the three-point shooting percentage of Brigadier and Lao Yue is not inferior to Xiaotian? If they let them shoot, they would be asking for death!"
"In one game, Brigadier scored 12 points, Lao Yue scored 12 points, and Chen Hua scored 9 points. Just the three-point score from the three of them was enough to make Tsinghua Affiliated High School despair."
"The main thing is that the captain restrained their defensive strength, hehe."
"Chen Hua is right. If the captain hadn't always attracted their double-teams, it would have been difficult for us to get an open three-pointer."
"Just play like this and try to kill the game in the third quarter!"
"Yes, kill the game in the third quarter!"
"come on!"
The fighting spirit in the team members' hearts was already burning brightly without Lin Lei and the others' encouragement.
When they were only one step away from the championship, all the members of Zhenzhong School Team were extremely conscious and excited.
After Lin Lei said a few words, he pulled Lin Weirui aside.
"You didn't rest for a minute in the first half, and your physical energy was consumed very quickly."
"As soon as the third quarter starts, you change and take a rest."
Lin Lei looked at Lin Weirui, who was unusually calm in front of him.
I know that beneath his calm appearance, there is a shocking energy like a volcanic eruption.
But in the 20 minutes of the first half, Lin Weirui never came off the field to rest.
Lin Lei is very worried about his physical condition.
Moreover, long-term combat is the most prone to injuries.
Lin Lei didn't want Zhenzhong's baby bump to get injured during the game.
Facing Lin Lei, Lin Weirui showed a smiling face.
"Teacher Lin, you don't have to worry about my physical condition."
"In the second quarter of the game, I gave all the offensive burden to Zhou Lv, Yue Zhanye and Chen Hua."
"Actually, my own physical energy consumption is not much."
Lin Lei smiled.
"One game, 12 assists."
"I didn't know, I thought you were the point guard of our team."
"We already led by 20 points in the first half. You don't need to worry about it for now. You should get off the court and take a rest."
Lin Weirui still shook his head persistently.
"Teacher Lin, let me play."
"I want to completely kill the game in the third quarter!"
He just heard the wishes of his teammates.
As the captain of the school team, Lin Weirui plans to personally realize the wishes of his teammates.
Seeing Lin Weirui's persistence, Lin Lei had no choice but to agree to his request.
He knew that the physical fitness of Lin Weirui, Zhou Lu and Yue Zhanye had been intensively trained by Lao Xu.
Much better than the average high school player.
Since the start of the league, the average playing time of Class 9 Tridents has reached a terrifying 35 minutes.
In other words, in a 40-minute game, there is only an average of 5 minutes of rest.
There are only a handful of people with such abundant and abnormal physical fitness in the entire league.
Lin Lei knows.
When Lao Xu trained these three boys, he completely followed the NBA's training template.
An average of 35 minutes of playing time per game is nothing among NBA superstars.
But this is the Dragon Kingdom’s high school league!
…
The second half of the game begins.
Su Kang continued his explanation on the commentary stage.
"The Tsinghua High School has re-appointed their star player Wang Zhipeng."
"They plan to use the rhythm of the first quarter to play offensive and defensive battles with the Zhenzhong Colonel team."
"Director Xu, what do you think of this change?"
Xu Lu smiled and said:
"The initiative on the court now is not in the hands of Tsinghua High School."
"If the Zhenzhong school team still maintains its feel and shooting percentage in the first half, then even if Wang Zhipeng plays, it won't have much effect."
"The Zhenzhong school team will not give you a chance to rebound!"
"Compared to the changes in the formation of Tsinghua High School, I am more curious about why Lin Weirui, the captain of Zhenzhong, has not rested in the third quarter?"
"He has played the full 20 minutes of the first half."
"As a high school player, his physical reserves are already so abundant?"
Of course, the two commentators, Xu Lu and Su Kang, are not the only ones who have the same doubts.
The audience and scouts were equally curious.
"Xu, their physical fitness is not inferior to that of many professional players."
"How do you usually train?"
In the stands, Jackson asked curiously.
Xu Jie smiled and said:
"Justin, how you train is how we train."
Xu Jie's answer shocked both Jackson and Yu Bowen.
"this……"
"Teacher Xu, can they really tolerate it?"
"The amount of training required by NBA professional players is not child's play."
Yu Bowen, who has always been calm, never thought that the physical training that Lin Weirui and the others usually receive would be a replica of NBA professional players?
Don't talk about Lin Weirui and other 17-year-old kids.
Even among those professional basketball players in domestic professional leagues, how many can persevere?
At this time, looking at Lin Weirui and the others on the field, Yu Bowen naturally felt a little admiration in his heart.
Everyone only saw them destroying the city and sweeping thousands of armies on the field.
But the efforts they put in silently behind the scenes are unknown to outsiders.
Having talent is one thing.
Whether you can have the will and perseverance to fully realize your talents is another matter.
Xu Jie smiled slightly when he saw Yu Bowen, Jackson and the others' surprised expressions.
"In normal training, in addition to studying and reviewing, I will play them two NBA game videos repeatedly."
"Guess which two games they are?"
Hearing Xu Jie's question, Jackson and Yu Bowen became interested.
"Xu, give me a hint." Jackson smiled.
Yu Bowen was standing aside, his brain already engaged in rapid thinking and screening.
Combined with the performance of Lin Weirui, Zhou Lu and Yue Zhanye.
Not long after, Yu Bowen tried to reply:
"Teacher Xu, I guess one of them must be the famous influenza battle fought by Gang Leader Qiao in 1997, right?"
"That one?" Jackson responded quickly.
June 11, 1997.
Gang Leader Qiao was suffering from a high fever of 38 degrees and was completely exhausted.
In the fifth game of the finals.
Played 44 minutes and scored a game-high 38 points.
Led the team to win against the Utah Jazz, led by Malone and Stockton.
Shocked the world.
The God of Basketball's strong willpower and perseverance made everyone shocked and ashamed.
Xu Jie raised his eyebrows.
"Mr. Yu is Mr. Yu. I didn't expect to guess it so quickly."
Yu Bowen smiled and said: "Teacher Xu, you should announce the answer to the other one. I really can't guess the other one."
"The other game was the Lakers' game against the Rockets in the 2006-07 season."
Xu Jie smiled and said:
"In that game, Kobe played 54 minutes and led the team to the final victory."
"I've told them that since the first day I taught them."
"Will and perseverance are sometimes more valuable than talent."
"If you want to become a superstar respected by thousands of people, you have to work harder than ordinary people."
…
While Xu Jie and the others were chatting, a fierce battle was going on on the field.
The High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University essentially did not find a way to crack the five dead small schools in Zhenzhong.
Still relying on Wang Zhipeng's height advantage, he plays high in the paint.
But in the third quarter, Lin Weirui was like a tiger descending from the mountain.
Completely unleashed his offensive talents.
A hundred steps beyond the three-point line to penetrate Yang.
In four minutes, one player scored 7 three-pointers in a row.
"Crazy Zhenzhong No. 3!"
Su Kang almost went crazy on the commentary table.
"Crazy! Crazy to the extreme!"
"How can you still perform like this on the stage of the finals?"
“Deserves the title of this year’s Rookie King!”
Not only was Su Kang on the commentary desk going crazy.
The spectators in the stands also went crazy.
"Lin Weirui! Lin Weirui! Lin Weirui!"
This call started from Class 9.
Almost instantly, it swept the entire basketball stadium.
"Lin Weirui! Lin Weirui! Lin Weirui!"
All 20,000 spectators cheered in unison.
Its momentum is so huge that it is like thousands of troops and horses, majestic and powerful, swallowing up mountains and rivers!
The last possession of the third quarter.
Lin Weirui held the ball and hit the basket with the cheers of the audience.
Facing the captain of Tsinghua High School, Wang Zhipeng, who is 208cm tall.
He didn't flinch at all.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.
He jumped high from inside the three-second zone.
Bang!
Riding Wang Zhipeng, he completed a shocking dunk!
Whether it's on or off the field.
Everyone was stunned and their scalps were numb!
The entire Shuiyun Basketball Hall seemed to have lost its voice at this moment.
There was dead silence.
boom!
Just a moment later, the whole place was in an uproar!
"Fuck!"
"Holy shit, shit, shit!"
"Oh my God! How high did he jump?"
"Dunk against Wang Zhipeng who is 208? How dare he?"
"This is the most exciting dunk in this game so far."
"No, this is the most exciting and impressive dunk in the entire league since the league started!"
"Zhenzhong No. 3, single-handedly killed the competition completely!"
"The new king has ascended the throne!"
(The King of Basketball in Class 9, ends with Chapter 9)
