In a blink of an eye, the provincial league semi-finals are approaching.
The semi-finals are naturally different from the previous group matches. The organizers have paid more attention to it. In addition to the necessary publicity, the game time has also been specially adjusted, and the game day has been set on the weekend, so that it is convenient for fans participating in the competition and students of the school where the team is located.
In addition, reporters will come to the scene to interview, and the provincial TV station will also broadcast it.
It can be said that the previous game is completely two different concepts.
Yuyang Seventh Middle School.
Little fat guy Peng Jun is calling his classmates: "Liu Jia, do you want to go to the provincial capital together to cheer Qin Hao and the others? Yes, it has already been arranged. There are more than a dozen people in our class alone, and there are also other classes. You want Go ahead? Let's just say that, we will gather at the station tomorrow."
Tomorrow afternoon is the provincial league semi-final. Yuyang Seventh Lieutenant General will face last year's provincial league champion Ningchuan No. 1 High School. The little fat man has made an appointment with a dozen classmates in his class, and will go to cheer Qin Hao and the others together tomorrow.
Not only students in the first year (3), there are also other classes with students planning to go.
For example, Jiang Feng, Guo Kai, Yuan Xiaogang, Wang Lei, etc. are in the class, and other classes that are not related to the players are also visited, not only because they are all students in Yuyang Seventh Middle School, but also because they are fans themselves and they are not talented enough. Can't enter the school team, can't represent the team in the game, but can't miss such an important game, even as a spectator.
For example, Xu Kailai, Xu Haifeng, Chen Dong, Huang Hao and other people who participated in the selection of the school team with Qin Hao.
Several people failed to be selected for the school team, but they did not give up training. They would run to the court to take the time to train. Sometimes, when the basketball team was training, Jiang Fangping would give them some guidance.
This made Xu Kailai a few people more excited, because Jiang Fangping promised to allow them to participate in the selection of newcomers in the coming year. If they perform well enough, they can also enter the school team.
The coach is willing to guide them, so it's not just empty talk.
"Brothers, just make an appointment like that." Xu Kailai looked at a few friends, "Tomorrow we will go to the provincial capital together to cheer for the team."
"Okay." Xu Haifeng said: "I hope weI can beat Ningchuan No. 1 Middle School. As long as we reach the finals, We have a chance to hit the provincial championship."
"Yes, it's a pity that we can only be spectators on the sidelines."
"Don't be discouraged, we still have a chance to wait for the selection of the school team in the second half of the year." Xu Kailai faintly led the group and comforted them. After thinking about it, he said, "I guess there will be a lot of people going to the provincial capital tomorrow. It may not be easy to take a car, or I will contact you and let's book a rental."
A few people readily agreed, and began to pool money, Xu Kailai took the bulk, and the others also pooled some, so the fare money is considered to be available.
...
Yidong No. 8 Middle School.
"Xiaojing, you just accompany me." Xu Wanting took her girlfriend quietly, and begged a little, "Oh, tomorrow is the weekend, and you don't have to go to class, you just promise me."
"No." Wen Jing shook her head, "You are going to pursue your Prince Charming, what shall I do?"
Xu Wanting smiled and said, "Maybe you can also find your Prince Charming? I remember that there is also a very good player in Yuyang Seventh Middle School, called Qin Hao. Yes, that's him. Didn't you even talk about him last time? Is he good at playing, what do you think of him, do you like it?"
Wen Jing blushed, and said in embarrassment: "Don't talk nonsense."
When I saw the reaction of my girlfriend, Xu Wanting's eyes lit up: "Ah, Wen Jing, you don't really like him, do you?"
"No." Wen Jing quickly denied that she did not like Qin Hao, she was not Xu Wanting, she did not believe in love at first sight, but she had a good impression of Qin Hao. Not worse than Jiang Feng.
Xu Wanting doesn't care if her girlfriend really likes him. Anyway, she found a way to persuade her girlfriend, begged and deceived, and finally used threats and Wen Jing's breakup. Finally, she persuaded Wen Jing to agree to go to the provincial city with her tomorrow. Jiang Feng and the others come on.
...
Yuyang City, Institute of Science and Technology.
A group of polytechnic players are training in the arena, but not much energy.
This year's provincial preliminaries have ended. Although the Polytechnic Institute has reached the top eight in the province, it fell in the top eight and failed to reach the semi-finals, let alone the provincial championship.
It is important to know that in accordance with the rules of CUBA's competition system, the provincial champion can directly qualify for the national divisional competition, and 2-4 can also apply for the divisional competition, but the review is more difficult. There are only a handful of teams that can rely on applying for the divisional competition. .
And like the Polytechnic Institute, who only entered the quarter-finals and failed to enter the semi-finals, they did not even have the qualifications to apply for the national divisional competition.
For them, this season is over.
"Not reconciled." Jiao Xue said angrily: "We were almost able to reach the semi-finals, maybe..."
"Okay." Xu Tao interrupted: "With our strength, even if we enter the semi-finals, we can beat other teams, can we win the provincial championship? Don't think about those useless things, we are not strong enough to win the provincial championship. Is it possible to participate in the divisional competition by applying. Even if the application is approved and we participated in the divisional competition, what can we do?"
"Hey..." Jiao Xueyi sighed.
The Polytechnic Institute is not bad among the universities in Southern Province. It is a frequent visitor to the top eight of the provincial league, but there is still some gap with the championship team.
Xu Tao is the captain of the team and is already a junior this year. For him, the loss this season is even more uncomfortable, which means that his chances are getting slimmer.
At this time, Xu Tao couldn't help but think of Xu Yao coming to pick the field. The boy who challenged Xu Yao and defeated Xu Yao couldn't help but said: "If the No. 2 is in our team, maybe the result will be different."
"No. 2, the king of the North District?" Jiao Xueyi muttered, not the first time he heard this name.
During this period of time, he heard his teammates mention it many times, but when Xu Yao came to pick the field, he hadn't returned to school and he had not been able to see that heads-up.
Jiao Xueyi is the team's strongest shooting guard and the team's trump card. His personal strength is very strong. He regretted not being able to play against Xu Yao for a long time.
And that mysterious "No. 2" also made him very curious.
At the moment when the captain Xu Tao mentioned it again, Jiao Xueyi couldn't help but ask: "Captain, you always mention this 'No. 2', is he really that strong? He is just a high school student, can he be better than Xu Yao?"
"Perhaps it was a bit of accident and luck that he won Xu Yao in the singles, but he was able to beat Xu Yao 10:9. Do you think his strength will be worse?" Xu Tao couldn't help being disappointed when he mentioned this person. Sighed: "It's a pity that I haven't found him after searching for so long. Maybe he's really like Xu Yao, and not from Yu Yang's."
