Chapter 64 The Crowning of Champions
The Dragon Dance Team, the runner-up team of the last session, the Sanli Team, the last session's semi-finals, are all more confident this year to target the championship. Whether it is the strength of the two teams or the grudges of the two teams in the previous session, this game is the highlight of this high school league opening day, no doubt about it.
There are quite a few reporters who come to follow this game. Every media has a reporter, and Xu Qingsong and these people are also acquaintances. Everyone is a reporter and often encounters them on some occasions. They are familiar with each other, so they are also acquaintances.
The competition has not started, and the reporters are free and gather together in groups of three or three. Many people think that journalists are competitors, and they are all jealous of meeting each other, but this is not the case.
Talk to each other and learn some news that you don’t know. As for how much you can know, it depends on your ability.
Today, when we follow the Dragon Dance Team and the Sanli Team, everyone's topic is naturally around this game. Whoever wins the final victory is naturally a hot topic. Their discussion and analysis are not the same as fans. They do not have the protection and love of fans. However, what went beyond Xu Qingsong's surprise was the view of the reporters, and most of them actually supported the Sanli Team.
Some people support Sanli Team, Xu Qingsong knows that the last Dragon Dance Team won Sanli Team, but it was not a crush of absolute strength. The two teams themselves are not much different in terms of hard strength. The Dragon Dance Team wins in experience, but has experienced the defeat of the previous session. The Sanli Team must have added a lot of experience. Everyone supports Sanli Team because of experience. But I didn’t expect that there would be so many. It seems that the heroic championship declaration at the press conference of Sanli Team this year has created a lot of confidence for everyone.
Unfortunately, the game was never expected in advance. Even the match between the first place and the last place. The Sanli team, which was irresistible before the game, suffered a Waterloo at the beginning.
Three minutes into the game, the score on the court was 9 to 0. The Dragon Dance team changed the lineup. Their original shooting guard Su Haoran was replaced by a strange face. Everyone was busy searching for the information in their hands. Soon, an ordinary name like Xiao Tie appeared in front of everyone. It was not a newcomer, but how could no one remember this strength in the last session?
The core of the Dragon Dance team is Wang Hu, and the Sanli team is fully prepared. Li Wei, their outside defense gate, trembled violently against Wang Hu from the beginning. Unfortunately, Wang Hu passed three times and Xiao Tie made three moves. Three three-pointers were accurately drilled into the basket.
The whole audience was silent.
Supporters of the Sanli team questioned the team's high and low openings. Supporters of the Dragon Dance Team were shocked by Xiao Tie's strength. However, the supporters of the Dragon Dance Team immediately burst into cheers.
The teachers and students of Longwu High School were a little worried at first. Before the game, Sanli High School's momentum was too fierce, and everyone was worried that Longwu High School would lose the opening game. But three minutes later, the haze swept away.
It is impossible, slap the face, slap it hard. This is arrogant, self-righteous ignorance. A real strong man does not need those exaggerated remarks. Yes, it is exaggeration. The remarks of Sanli High School, which were originally shocking in their eyes, have become exaggerated performances at this moment.
Guo Guang requested a timeout for three minutes. In the opening game, Sanli High School created the fastest timeout record. There were only three timeouts in the halftime. Each timeout is an opportunity that the coach cherishes very much. It will most likely be used at critical moments and in the final victory or defeat of the game.
In the last ten seconds of the second half of the first half of the last semi-finals, Sanli High School was one point behind Longwu High School. Guo Guang, who shouted the timeout, instantly remembered such an unpleasant memory. If Sanli High School had a timeout at that time, the outcome of that game was still unspeakable.
Guo Guang, who urgently sorted out his thoughts, had to re-arrange Sanli High School defense. Xiao Tie became one of the key points of defense. Wang Yiguo, another defensive gate of Sanli High School. His outside defense ability was only slightly worse than Li Wei. In Guo Guang's view, Xiao Tie was just a pure pitcher, and Wang Yiguo's close-fitting defense was enough to completely lock Xiao Tie.
Sanli High School wants to take revenge, but Longwu High School also wants to take revenge. They want to make a strong performance to advance to the finals and defeat Qingteng High School, who defeated them last season.
The lack of information about Xiaotien has led to huge loopholes in Sanli High School’s defense line. Longwu High School seems to be intentionally creating opportunities for Xiaotien.
Eight minutes later in the first half, Guo Guang had to request a timeout again.
2o:5. The difference between the two teams has reached fifteen points. Wang Yiguo's close-fitting defense successfully restricted Xiao Tie's fixed-point shooting, but they did not expect that Xiao Tie would not only be able to shoot at a fixed-point shooting after receiving the ball. They restricted Xiao Tie's fixed-point shooting but did not limit Xiao Tie's three-point shooting.
Three three-pointers, 100% shooting percentage has too much pressure on Sanli High School. If this person is Wang Hu, it will not have much impact. Wang Hu's strength is recognized by everyone. But the person who did this is an unknown villain.
The Dragon Dance Team casually gave them three three-pointers. Is the Dragon Dance Team so big? Such an idea involuntarily appeared in the minds of everyone in the Sanli Team. With every wonderful performance of Xiao Tie lingering.
The more exciting Xiao Tie's performance was, the greater the impact this idea had on Sanli Team.
Guo Guang's face was so painful. Before the game started, he made a bold statement to win the championship. But what about the fact? In the first game, they were ravaged by the other party alone in the first half.
Guo Guang had used up three chances of timeouts in the first half, but there were seven minutes left before the end of the first half. Thirteen minutes, he called for three timeouts, but the tired expression on the players' faces told him that the timeout did not have much effect.
Without the timeout, Guo Guang could only lean on the sideline and shout. Xiao Tie received the ball forty-five degrees outside the three-point line. The two men of the Sanli team rushed forward immediately as if they were facing a big enemy, but at this moment, Xiao Tie was still more than two meters away from the three-point line. Even if Xiao Tie had strong force before, how could he have attack power at this distance?
When Guo Guang called and reminded, Liu Xiaoqing's reaction was obviously slow. The nervousness had obviously affected the physical reaction of the Sanli team. Liu Xiaoqing's defender He Zhize was in an open position. Xiao Tie did not stop the ball, and the opportunity appeared to pass the ball immediately. The Longwu team in the frontcourt formed a three-for-two situation. In the end, He Zhize scored in the empty basket.
Guo Guang fell back to his seat with some weakness. Xiao Tie's influence has expanded into the influence of the whole team. He restrained the entire Sanli team alone. The strong scoring ability he showed forced Sanli team's defense to focus on him. Once this happens, there will definitely be loopholes in the defense of the other positions. Xiao Tie actually has good passing ability. He only needs to send the ball to his teammates who are in the open position.
