Chapter 111: The Qualifying Journey (Three)

  Chapter 111: The Qualifying Journey (Three) Flying Library Web

  Bin Guohui was shouting loudly at the players on the field from the sidelines. Bin Guohui's anxious expression also reflected the tension of the game on the field. The game had already entered the third quarter, and Feicui City Experimental Middle School and their opponents were constantly alternating leads in the score.

  This basketball qualification match is divided into four groups, each group has six teams, and the top two in each group have the qualification to advance. The qualified teams will then conduct a crossover match to select the two strongest teams to represent the province in the national middle school basketball game. Therefore, this first group match of Feicui City Experimental Middle School is very crucial today, because facing an opponent who is not the strongest in the group is a good opportunity to get points in the group.

  The opponent's outside firepower is very strong, relying on the excellent long-range shooting ability of the two guards to frequently score in the Emerald City Experimental Middle School's basket, while the Emerald City Experimental Middle School basketball team captain Su Hao's fierce scoring ability also made it difficult for the opponent to parry. The two teams were stuck in a seesaw battle like this.

  Until the last two minutes of the game, the two teams were tied. At this time, Zhang Jialin, who had been in a state of no play throughout the game, suddenly burst out, first making two crucial three-pointers in a row from beyond the three-point line, then stealing the opponent's pass on defense and assisting Xiao Haifeng's fast break score, which also pulled the difference between the two teams under Zhang Jialin's sudden rise. This allowed Feicui City Experimental Middle School to ultimately win by five points over their opponents, securing the team's opening victory in this competition.

  After the game ended, the cheering players of Feicui City Experimental Middle School lifted Zhang Jialin, the hero of this game, together on the court and threw him high into the sky...

  The Emerald City Experimental Middle School basketball team, which won the first game, tasted defeat in the second game on the third day. A team from Fengyuan City Experimental Middle School defeated Emerald City Experimental Middle School. The game was still intense, but Emerald City Experimental Middle School, being their first time participating in such a major event, seemed to lack experience. When the score was close, due to the lack of experience in responding to the situation, they were scored upon by their opponents. In an attempt to tie the score, the players from Emerald City Experimental Middle School paid the price for their inexperience and became too anxious to catch up, disrupting the usual attacking rhythm of the team. As a result, at the end of the game, Emerald City Experimental Middle School lost by a two-digit score difference.

  The Feicui Experimental Middle School basketball team, with one win and one loss, had no time to be discouraged by their defeat, as the next day they would face their third opponent, the 18th Middle School of a certain city. Another fierce battle ensued. The 18th Middle School had two nearly two-meter-tall centers, forming a strong twin tower inside line. This put the Feicui Experimental Middle School's inside line at a disadvantage, and players like Han Dali were repeatedly fouled and forced to rest. The substitute center who came on was even less able to contend with the twin towers in terms of height and strength, allowing them to score freely against the Feicui Experimental Middle School's inside line.

  Fortunately, the players of Feicui City Experimental Middle School brought out the "Difeng" tactics carefully crafted by Bian Guohui, and Xiao Haifeng's sharp breakthrough also made it difficult for their opponents to defend. In addition, with Zhang Jialin's good condition on the outside line, they were able to open up the situation in a timely manner, which kept the score difference within eight points for Feicui City Experimental Middle School.

  Lin Xiaoyu poured a glass of water for Han Dali, who was sitting on the bench after being substituted out. Han Dali was panting heavily on the bench, it can be seen that the opponent's twin towers caused great trouble for this 1.95-meter-tall player.

  Lin Xiaoyu whispered a few words in Han Dali's ear. After hearing this, Han Dali was slightly surprised and widened his eyes to look at Lin Xiaoyu. He thought for a moment, then nodded to Lin Xiaoyu, indicating that he already knew.

  Lin Xiaoyu sat back in her own seat, and Yan Nan, who was sitting next to Lin Xiaoyu, curiously asked Lin Xiaoyu what she had said to Han Dali. Lin Xiaoyu pretended to be mysterious and said it was a secret tactic. After Lin Xiaoyu responded with a serious face, she saw that Yan Nan was confused by her solemn expression, and Lin Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh too. She immediately received a light punch on the shoulder from Yan Nan's pink fist in a playful manner.

  In the last quarter, the score difference between the two teams was still seven points, and Bian Guohui replaced Han Dali with a substitute. Han Dali, who returned to the court, faced the tallest and strongest center on the court at this time. The center grabbed a good attacking position on the three-second line with his huge body. His teammate immediately passed the ball to the center who had occupied the advantageous position. Han Dali, who was usually the strongest in the team, could only hold back against the center who was half a head taller and one size larger than himself.

  Han Dali suddenly remembered a conversation Lin Xiaoyu had with him when he was sitting on the bench. Although Han Dali thought Lin Xiaoyu's method was a bit risky, he decided to give it a try anyway. Taking a deep breath, Han Dali shifted his feet slightly to the right, directly blocking the center's left side. This way, Han Dali completely opened up his right side defense, and as long as the center made a move to the right, he would be facing an empty basket.

  Lin Xiaoyu told Han Dali on the court that this center forward would not turn around to the right side, so Lin Xiaoyu let Han Dali defend the left side of this center forward. Han Dali is now defending with the method Lin Xiaoyu told him, taking a risk. As expected, Lin Xiaoyu was right. This center forward still didn't turn around to attack when facing the empty space on the left, and instead continued to strongly attack the right side that Han Dali had tightly defended. Han Dali firmly resisted this center forward's attacking movement, and when this center forward made a big move, Han Dali shouted loudly in response. At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, and the linesman on the baseline judged that the opposing center forward had committed an offensive foul without hesitation.

  After understanding the weakness of his opponent's center, Han Daren's defense became much easier. As long as he defended well against the center's right side, he could basically defend against him. With more agile movements than the center, Han Daren even stole the ball from him twice. Usually when playing basketball, Han Daren was always the one being stolen from, but now facing a center who was slower than himself, Han Daren finally got to experience what it's like to steal the ball from someone else.

  After freezing the opponent's main scoring point in the interior, the players of Feicui City Experimental Middle School immediately used their sharp fast break to slowly catch up with the score. The two centers of the opponent, who were the team's winning edge at the beginning, became a burden for the whole team at this time. One center was tightly defended by Han Dali, and the other was ineffective under the defense of two defenders. The advantage of the twin towers instantly turned into a disadvantage, which made their glasses-wearing coach, who had always looked very elegant, jump up and down on the sidelines.

  Looking back, the players of Feicui Experimental Middle School, who had a defensive guarantee, became more and more confident as they played, constantly tearing apart their opponents' defenses with lightning-fast counterattacks. At this time, Xiao Haifeng, who was the arrowhead of the offense on the court, made it difficult for his opponents to parry him. He flashed across the court like a black lightning bolt, and as soon as he broke through into the basket, the white net under the hoop would inevitably be stirred up by the ball falling into the frame, also shattering their opponents' confidence in winning...

  The score on the scoreboard was frozen at 83-79.

  The players on the field heard the referee's final whistle and vented their joy with loud shouts on the field.

  The Feicui City Experimental Middle School basketball team finally got their second win in the three games without any surprises. After another fierce battle, every player on the court showed signs of fatigue on their faces, but these faint signs of exhaustion were negligible on their young faces, and the victorious smiles on their faces were enough to dispel all worries...
