Chapter 205 Absolute Strength

The first day of the New Year's Day holiday, December 12th, is two days away from the new year.

The weather in Suzhou was very good that day. When the holiday came, some people chose to travel, while others stayed at home.

For those basketball fans, in the morning, they can either stay at home and watch the new season of the NBA regular season, or go to the Suzhou Sports Center to watch NHBA games live.

However, if the tickets are booked late, you may not be able to see any of the six games in the three days. Three days before the game, the tickets for the basketball hall of the SZ City Sports Center have already been sold out.

Last night, with the experience of the previous two times, the whole Lizhong team was familiar with staying in the hotel. The only thing that disappointed them was that the cheerleaders did not live on the same floor as them.

Moreover, Gao Jing asked everyone to turn off the lights to rest at ten o'clock in the evening, and they were never allowed to hang around or go out to play.

The Final Four of Death is not just for fun, three matches in three days, this kind of intensity of competition is not found in professional leagues, and every game is counted as small points, and physical strength is crucial to fight from beginning to end.

The night before the competition, Liang Boyu was going to call to remind Gao Jing that the semi-final round-robin competition is different from the knockout competition. There are three competitions in three days.

This is a test of the coach's strategic level. It is no longer a fight to the end, but to consider the strength of each team and distribute the physical fitness for three days in a balanced manner in order to achieve the best results.

Like Gao Jing before, the way of employing people who are desperately fighting for the main force and often playing the whole game with one player is not feasible in round-robin matches. If necessary, Tian Ji's horse racing method can be adopted, and local sacrifices are exchanged for overall victory.

"Why, Mr. Liang, you look down on our Lizhong's strength. We have even beaten Changshu Tigong, and our own is a top-notch horse!"

Faced with Liang Boyu's suggestion, Gao Jing responded unceremoniously.

"Oh, I didn't mean that, but your team is still inexperienced, and everything should be based on the overall situation."

"Hmph, we will definitely win the championship, and the first game is going to look good on Benshi."

"Look at you, how come you are still like a child. Huang Ximing is an old and cunning guy, and I watched their Benshi game in Nanjing, and his talent is no worse than yours."

"Mr. Liang, why do you have the nerve to call others treacherous and cunning?"

Liang Boyu knew that there was no way to chat that day, so he could only remind a few more words, saying that he would always pay attention to the game, so he hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Jing felt uneasy. She talked against Liang Boyu, but she actually agreed with Liang Boyu in her heart.

The three-day, three-match single round-robin match is completely different from the previous knockout match once a week. The players in the once-a-week match have plenty of time to rest and adjust, and because it is a knockout match, they will work hard every game. Gao Jing let some It is understandable for players to play the whole court.

But the semi-finals are different. There are three games in three days, and it is not enough to win a certain game with all your strength. Once the players lack physical strength or even suffer from injuries, they cannot win the next two games, and they will fail to qualify.

Therefore, in the semi-finals, the team's bench depth and the coach's formation will play a more obvious role.

The depth of the bench has always been Lizhong's weakness, and there is no player who can really support the offensive end.Although in high school teams, the substitutes are generally relatively mediocre. After all, there are not so many outstanding players for you to put on the bench to accumulate opportunities.

Gao Jing thought about this question for a long time. Judging from the records of other teams advancing in the other three groups, Benshi Middle School is undoubtedly the strongest this time.

They played very easily in the first two games, defeated their opponents by a big score, and entered the semi-finals very smoothly.

There are two other teams that are slightly inferior in overall strength. On the whole, Gao Jing believes that Lizhong has a high chance of defeating the other two teams.

Therefore, a kind of thinking is placed in front of Gao Jing. Tomorrow, against Benshi, he can choose to give up strategically, and then accumulate strength to fight for victory in the next two games and strive for more small points.

As long as they get a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, and get enough small points, they will definitely be able to pass and advance to the East China competition.

There is another way of thinking, of course it is the same as the knockout rounds, to fight every game and strive for a complete victory.But if they fail to win tomorrow's match with Benshi, and their vitality is seriously injured, which leads to poor performance in the following matches, the situation of qualifying will be dangerous.

Gao Jing was caught in such a dilemma, and she couldn't strengthen her belief until the day before the game, because she really wanted the team to qualify and go to the East China competition.

Although they have historically reached the semi-finals, but in the arena, people will never be satisfied.

This problem made Gao Jing toss and turn, and it was difficult to sleep. She didn't even hold a combat meeting for the players at night, because their game tomorrow was the second game in the morning, and there was enough time before the game.

As a result, early this morning, Gao Jing went to the restaurant for breakfast with dark circles under her eyes. The principal saw her and asked, "Coach Gao, is your smoky makeup okay?"

Gao Jing didn't bother to pay attention to the out-of-shape Zhu Yida, took two steamed buns and a Roujiamo, and went to the round table to have breakfast with the players.

Then he found that everyone was in a very good state of mind, no tension, no sleepiness, everyone was lively, talking and laughing.

Because there are girls from the cheerleading team this time, everyone looks very civilized when eating breakfast. Sure enough, men and women eating together is the most harmonious.

Only Lu Yuan went back and forth between the round table and the buffet table, eating a piece of corn for a while, grabbing a bun for a while, and filling two cups of soy milk for a while, with a cake in his mouth, and he wanted to eat more Order siu mai.

"Lu Yuan, have you traveled back from before liberation?" Gao Jing asked seeing Lu Yuan eating like this.

"This morning...no...competition, I...I'll eat more, eat more." After speaking, Lu Yuan left again with his plate, this time he set his sights on a bowl of Yangchun noodles.

A group of people looked at Lu Yuan's appearance and shook their heads to express their helplessness. Jia Yumeng even sat far away from Lu Yuan, lest everyone would know that they knew each other well.

"How do you feel? Do you have confidence in the game in the morning?" Gao Jing asked casually while eating.

"Have!!"

Everyone suddenly yelled, shaking the entire restaurant, everyone was startled, causing people from other teams to look sideways.

The principal didn't pay attention, and was almost choked to death by the millet porridge in his mouth. He coughed for a long time and drank a few sips of milk before recovering.

"Oh, Coach Gao, it looks like the boys in our team are very motivated! I see today's game, everyone will be able to do it!" The principal did not forget to encourage everyone.

It was only then that Gao Jing discovered that among all the players, only she was the most vacillating. The players didn't think about those strategic issues at all, they just wanted to win every game.

"Coach Gao, the morale of the students in your team is very high, haha, let's work hard for the game in the afternoon."

At this time, Huang Ximing, the coach of Benshi Middle School, came to Lizhong's dining table and greeted Gao Jing.

When Gao Jing saw Huang Ximing, she didn't even stand up from the bench, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Huang for your encouragement. We will definitely go all out in the afternoon and compete with Mr. Huang's team."

"Haha, I can't talk about the competition. After all, it's a competition, and we still have to decide the outcome. However, in a round-robin match, the three games are very important. At this time, it is necessary to consider the coach's wisdom and strategy. Although Coach Gao is young, But I think, if you learn from Mr. Liang, your ability in this area is definitely not bad." Huang Ximing's words are full of meaning.

Gao Jing and Huang Ximing have never been quite right. Huang Ximing was born in Changzhou, but in BJ's college, he learned basketball from Lai Weide, a master of the Northern School, and emphasized star tactics and high-intensity training.

After that, Huang Ximing returned to his hometown and brought this set of ideas back to Jiangsu. From junior high school to high school, he led many teams to good results, but he also left a bad reputation of ruining seedlings.

Gao Jing is a straight-tempered person, and his way of thinking about high school players is very different from Huang Ximing, so he will not give Huang Ximing a good face.

Hearing what Huang Ximing said, Gao Jing glared at him and said, "Mr. Huang, I don't know if you've heard the saying, 'In the face of absolute strength, all strategies are futile'."

Huang Ximing laughed loudly when he heard this, and said, "That means Lizhong has absolute strength? Haha, wait and see, wait and see."

After finishing speaking, Huang Ximing turned around and was about to leave, but saw a person rushing towards here with a bowl of noodles, shouting: "Hot, hot, hot! Be careful! Let it go!"

It was Lu Yuan.

Huang Ximing gave way and brushed past Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan threw the noodles on the table, and immediately withdrew his hands until they burned his ears.And the noodle soup in the bowl accidentally splashed a little, splashing onto Huang Ximing's new suit.

Lu Yuan hurriedly took out the napkin, saying sorry and wanted to wipe it for Huang Ximing.

Huang Ximing shook his hands impatiently, and even said no, then left with a bad face.

Jia Yumeng asked with concern: "Lu Yuan, is your hand not scalded? Why don't you use a plate to hold it?"

Lu Yuan replied: "Oh, I didn't expect it to be so hot."
