Chapter 204 News from Moments
Time flies, and the semi-finals are approaching. The first two games of the round robin will be held in Suzhou during the New Year's Day holiday.

When it comes to the semi-finals, the city-level competition will really enter the topic, because starting from the semi-finals, some games that have attracted much attention will be broadcast live on the Internet.

All the teams that enter the semi-finals of prefecture-level cities are basically the strong teams in each region, and the competition in some regions will be extremely fierce.

For example, in the Shanghai area, they have three places to participate in the East China competition, but there are so many strong teams in the Shanghai area, so their semi-finals adopt a double round of host and guest, and then a competition system for three or four places to increase the intensity of the competition and reduce the competition. element of surprise.

Similarly, there is the Ma'anshan-Nanjing division, while the strength of the Suxichang division is relatively average, and it is in the middle and upper reaches of the East China division. Therefore, a relatively moderate single round-robin match is adopted to gather teams to compete in a short period of time.

However, the Suxi-Changzhou prefecture-level competition also has its distinctive feature, that is, the three round-robin matches will be played within three days on New Year's Day, so there will be more than a week between the quarter-finals and the semi-finals to allow players to rest.

Even so, three games in three days is a huge test for any player on any team, whether it is physical strength or willpower.

Because the single round-robin match counts small points to determine the qualifying places when the three teams have the same record, so there is no garbage time in the semi-finals, and every point will be very important.

It is this kind of competition system and appearance rules that give the semi-finals in Suxichang area the title of "Final Four of Death".

Gao Jing informed the players about the situation in detail two days before the New Year's Day holiday, because the day before the holiday, after school, everyone will go to Suzhou three times to start the final battle of the city competition.

Different from the previous two games, this time not only went to the basketball team, but also the school cheerleaders, as well as the school's leaders, including the principal, vice principal, and dean.

Because of the large number of people, everyone will take the school bus from the expressway to Suzhou directly. This made the basketball team members who had previously taken the high-speed rail feel the difference in the semi-finals.

It takes longer to take the school bus, but the advantage is that everyone can chat casually on the bus, especially this time with the girls from the cheerleading team, and the boys from the basketball team are all in a hurry.

The big guys sat in the back chatting and laughing. At first, the boys and girls were more reserved. Later, under the leadership of Zhang Fan, the boys took the initiative and proposed to play Werewolf, and the atmosphere suddenly became active.

Only Lu Yuan was sitting in his royal seat with a serious face - sitting in the first row with Gao Jing, next to the principal and vice-principal.

Because she knew that Lu Yuan was a troublemaker, Gao Jing always asked Lu Yuan to sit at the front with her to prevent this guy from making any troubles.

But Lu Yuan will always find something to do. He focused on the vice-principal next to the principal. This was the first time he knew that there was another vice-principal in Lizhong.

The vice-principal's name is Pan Minghe, a very common name, and his appearance is also very common. He belongs to the kind that you can't find when you throw it in the crowd, and you will definitely forget it the second time you see it once.

In daily school life, compared to the ubiquitous and omnipotent principal, this vice principal has no sense of existence. If he and the team hadn't participated in the semi-finals this time, Lu Yuan would not have known that the school had a vice principal .

Lu Yuan sneaked a few glances at the vice-principal, he was indeed very ordinary, he seemed a little motion sick, and the principal Zhu Yida beside him looked full of energy, the two formed a stark contrast.

Lu Yuan leaned close to Gao Jing's ear and asked in a low voice, "Coach Gao, what does this vice principal usually do? Why do you seldom see him?"

Gao Jing glanced at Lu Yuan sideways, thinking that this kid is really a small trumpet, who cares about this and that all day long, and said angrily: "You child is really lenient. Principal Pan is usually responsible for administrative work, and the student work does not return. He cares, you don't see him much, of course."

Lu Yuan's desire to gossip was temporarily satisfied. He looked back at what he did next. Others were having fun playing Werewolf with their mobile phones. Lu Yuan didn't know how to play such high-IQ things, so he had to continue trying to chat with Gao Jing order something.

"Mr. Gao, do you know a man named Qiao Xin?" Lu Yuan asked, remembering the shooting machine expert he met in Fengle Entertainment City a few days ago.

Gao Jing said, "Are you talking about players from other high schools?"

Lu Yuan thought for a while and said, "It should be, I feel like he belongs to the basketball team."

Gao Jing said: "I know one, it's from a high school in Hefei."

Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, he means he is from Hefei, which middle school is he from?"

Gao Jing said, "Why, have you seen him?"

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Well, it was the day you went on a blind date."

"Hush, keep your voice down! What nonsense!"

Gao Jing gave Lu Yuan a hard look, not allowing Lu Yuan to talk nonsense, and then said: "It doesn't make sense, if we are talking about the same person, then he shouldn't come to Licheng."

"What's wrong with coming to Licheng? He said he was visiting a friend's house. There is also a high-speed train from Hefei to Licheng." Lu Yuan was a little puzzled by Gao Jing's words.Although Hefei is in AH, it takes only one and a half hours to get to Licheng by high-speed rail, so it is very convenient to travel.

Gao Jing said: "Do you remember Yuanpei Middle School, they train national defense students?"

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Remember, is this Qiao Xin also from the National Defense School?"

Gao Jing said: "It's a bit similar. He is from Hefei Bayi Middle School. It is the only military high school in the country. It is fully closed and can't get out on Saturdays and Sundays."

Only then did Lu Yuan know that there are military high schools in China, so how could this Qiao Xin go to Fengle Entertainment City in Licheng to play basketball games?

"Could it be...he betrayed?" Lu Yuan said, he suddenly imagined that he might be involved in a huge national conspiracy.

Gao Jing rolled her eyes at him and said, "The military academy also has family leave, not to mention that Bayi is just a militarized middle school, not a military academy."

"Then, is this Qiao Xin good? I met him that day, and his shooting machine level really scared me to death." Lu Yuan told Gao Jing about seeing Qiao Xin shoot 800 points on the shooting machine that day.

After listening to Lu Yuan's narration, Gao Jing was thoughtful. She was not intimidated by the 800-plus points. The shooting machine is different from regular shooting and cannot be counted.

But if this person is Qiao Xin, then he does have this ability. Gao Jing knows many high school basketball masters in East China, and Qiao Xin is one of them.

If the team can really qualify for the East China competition, maybe they will meet Qiao Xin and his team, but it's really strange that he came to Licheng for Christmas.

Gao Jing didn't think about it any more, Lu Yuan saw that Gao Jing didn't speak, and didn't ask any more questions. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, ready to read the news and check Moments.

Lu Yuan himself never posted on Moments. He didn't like to upload his own affairs on the Internet, and high school students didn't have much to post.

But every once in a while, he would still check other people's accounts to see if there are any interesting things in other people's studies and life, so as to pass the time.

Lu Yuan doesn't have many friends on WeChat. It used to be in the single digits, but after entering high school and joining the basketball team, more people added friends.

During this period of Christmas and New Year's Day, the circle of friends is very lively. Many people post photos of celebrating Christmas with their classmates and friends, and celebrating New Year's Day with their families.

Lu Yuan flipped through the pages, feeling a little bored. Seeing those families reunited during the festival, he felt a little empty in his heart.

Scrolling down, there was a Moment of Friends that caught Lu Yuan's attention, it was posted by Zhang Yu, a player from Mingguang Middle School.

After the first warm-up match with Mingguang Middle School, Lu Yuan added Zhang Yu's WeChat, but the two didn't chat much.

Zhang Yu sometimes posted some basketball-related articles, which Lu Yuan liked to read, but this time he only posted a paragraph.

"Thank you Mingguang, I will continue to work hard in the new place."

What does it mean?
new place?Could it be that Zhang Yu also transferred to another place?Lu Yuan couldn't help thinking of Fan Yize.

Lu Yuan wanted to send a message to Zhang Yu to ask questions, but the two of them had no interaction other than the warm-up match.

He also wanted to ask Gao Jing, the car had already arrived in SZ city, and the Suzhou city outside the window was brightly lit, Lu Yuan thought, let's pay more attention to tomorrow's game, the first game tomorrow, they will play against Benshi Middle School.
