Chapter 26 High School League
In mid-November, the Yuezhou High School Basketball League officially kicked off.What exciting news this is for students who love basketball.

The Yuezhou High School Basketball League takes districts and counties as the unit. Each high school in each district and county plays a double round-robin game, and the team with the highest winning percentage enters the final knockout round.There are 6 districts and counties in Yuezhou City. The No.1 teams in each district and counties and the 2 No.2 teams with the highest winning percentage in all districts and counties will enter the final knockout round.The knockout round adopts the form of group competition, a total of 8 games will be played, and the team with the most wins will win (3 games and 3 wins system).

As the top 4 in the last high school basketball league, Yuezhou No. [-] Middle School is very strong. In addition, the famous basketball coach Shao Ziqiang came this semester, and Yuezhou No. [-] Middle School suddenly became the favorite to win the championship.

In order not to affect the daily study of high school students, the organizers arranged all the high school basketball league games on Sunday.On Sunday games, student fans who don’t have to go to class will go to the scene to cheer for their school’s team, improve the promotion of basketball, and relieve the pressure of students’ study, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Although there have been a lot of things recently, Ying Xiong's practice of Wu Qin Xi has never been interrupted.During this period, his height has also been growing rapidly.After the team match, his height has reached 180cm, correspondingly, his physical fitness has also improved significantly.The most gratifying thing is that since taking calcium tablets, there has been no joint pain.

After talking with Shao Ziqiang, Chen Feng approached Ying Xiong and said that he was modest, and Ying Xiong forgave him.In Yingxiong's view, everyone has selfishness, but some people show it, and some people keep it in their hearts and don't express it easily.A hypocrite is far more terrifying than a real villain.Besides, Chen Feng can't be called his deadly enemy, so there's no need for him to get into trouble with him because of such a trivial matter.

After Chen Feng's incident, Ying Xiong admired Shao Ziqiang even more.Shao Ziqiang is a successful person in the basketball field, whether it is personal achievement or professional level.And he is also extremely capable in dealing with interpersonal relationships.

The first game of the Yuezhou No. [-] Middle School basketball team this season was an away challenge to the No. [-] Middle School basketball team.Speaking of No. [-] Middle School, the fact is that it is inferior to No. [-] Middle School in every aspect.When enrolling students in the middle school entrance examination, the students in the second middle school are all unable to enter the first middle school, and the rest are selected by the first middle school.Naturally, in terms of enrollment rate, it is even more incomparable with No. [-] Middle School.In terms of teaching staff, excellent teachers are eager to go to No. [-] Middle School. Naturally, the quality of education in No. [-] Middle School is higher than that of No. [-] Middle School.In short, the second middle school is not as good as the first middle school.

For my school, I often compare it with No. [-] Middle School, but it is always inferior.It is true that the gap is obvious, and the capacity of the Second Middle School is really limited. No matter whether it is policy or the source of students and teachers, there is no capital to compete in all aspects.

The students and teachers of No. [-] Middle School are holding their breath, hoping to compete with No. [-] Middle School in the field of basketball.Although No. [-] Middle School has a special enrollment for basketball, due to the limited number of places, it is impossible to recruit all good seedlings.

The basketball atmosphere in the No. [-] Middle School is quite good. On the day of the game, the basketball hall was full of people and it was very lively.Since the No. [-] Middle School is playing at home, there are obviously more students in the No. [-] Middle School than No. [-] Middle School in the arena.It is conceivable that the level of attention in this match against the rival No. [-] Middle School will be high.The stadium was full of seats, and the game hadn't started yet, and the cheers were louder and louder.

There are special referees and scorekeepers in the high school basketball league, so Sun Jing and Song Bingning don't have to take care of the scoreboard anymore.At this time, they and the players from No. [-] Middle School were in the side rest area, listening to Coach Shao Ziqiang's tactics.

When it came time to start the game, both teams started to play.The starting lineup of Yuezhou No. 3 Middle School is: point guard Lu Bin, shooting guard Shi Jiandong, small forward Zhang Rui, power forward Xu Tianxiang, and center Yu Dong.Ying Xiong, Li Jianwu, who performed well in the team match, and Yang Guocan, who scored three points well, did not get the chance to start.

Ying Xiong didn't find it strange that he didn't get the chance to start, nor was he out of balance.He believes in coach Shao Ziqiang's arrangements, and also believes that as long as he performs well on the court, he can also get enough playing time.The most important thing is that as long as the team can win, it is not a big problem to play as a substitute.

Yu Dong and the center of No. [-] Middle School jumped the ball near the center circle, and the game officially started.Yu Dong jumped to win, Zhang Rui got the ball and passed it to Lu Bin. Lu Bin dribbled the ball across half court and organized an attack at the top of the arc.

In the side rest area, Shao Ziqiang encouraged Ying Xiong to wait for a group of substitute players: "Wait, if the score is anxious or even behind, you will turn the game around when you go on the court, whether it is starting or substituting, the people who can determine the trend of the game are the real main players , Do you understand?"

The substitutes said in unison: "Understood!"

The competition on the field is very fierce.The No. [-] Squadron took advantage of the momentum of the home court and started the game with a fierce offensive. The defense showed a strong aggressiveness.Squadron [-] was well prepared and played the tactics that had been prepared in advance step by step. For a while, the two sides came and went, and the game was extremely fierce.

As an assistant coach, Cai Guanzhong said to Shao Ziqiang on the sidelines: "Coach Shao, the basketball team of No. 3 Middle School has always been the top [-] team in the ancient city, and its strength is very strong."

Shao Ziqiang nodded and said, "The Second Squadron seems to be very active in beating us!"

Cai Guanzhong explained: "No. [-] Middle School has been suppressed by us in all aspects. Only basketball can compete with us. Every time their team meets us, they are very desperate."

Shao Ziqiang smiled and said: "That's right! Basketball games, of course, the more intense the better."

The two sides on the court come and go, and the competition is very fierce, almost to the point of fighting for the ball.Half of the quarter has passed, the score on the field is 8:10, and the No. 2 Middle School temporarily leads by [-] points.

After another minute, Yu Dong was replaced by Li Jianwu because he received 1 fouls.Soon, when the ball was dead, Shao Ziqiang waved his hand, and Ying Xiong replaced Lu Bin on the field.

After getting the chance to play in the first game, and still in such an intense game, Ying Xiong felt very excited, the blood in his body began to flow faster, and his desire to fight began to burst.

Here the second squadron attacked, and the No. 5 point guard forced Yingxiong, causing Yingxiong's blocking foul.He received a foul as soon as he played, which made Ying Xiong a little dumbfounded.

Since the number of fouls has been reached, the opponent goes directly to the free throw line.

Zhang Rui glanced at Ying Xiong complainingly, and reprimanded: "Don't foul easily, our foul count has already been reached!"

Ying Xiong didn't refute, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart - didn't I know the number of fouls was up?If fouls can be controlled so easily, unless they don't defend!
No. 5 successfully made two free throws.

Li Jianwu served the baseline ball to Ying Xiong.Unexpectedly, at this time, No. [-] Middle School suddenly expanded its defense, changing from half-court man-to-man defense to full-court man-to-man defense.

Ying Xiong didn't take the risk of passing to his teammates, and used his skillful dribbling to successfully dribble the ball to the frontcourt.At this time, Zhang Rui used the cover to come out to catch the ball.

Ying Xiong passed the ball to Zhang Rui, and Zhang Rui broke through with the ball. After passing one person, he didn't choose to give it to Li Jianwu, who was open at the basket, and chose to force him—and was taken away by the opponent.Li Jianwu grabbed the ball, shook it, and forced it again to cause a foul by the opponent.

At this time, Coach Shao Ziqiang replaced Zhang Rui, Xu Tianxiang, and Shi Jiandong with Yang Guocan, Zhu Xiaobo, and Liu Zeyang.

Li Jianwu made two free throws, and the point difference returned to 2 points again.

With coach Shao Ziqiang's large-scale substitutions, what was standing on the field at this time was the pure substitute lineup of Yuezhou No. [-] Middle School.As for No. [-] Middle School, the starting lineup has not been released yet, and they have been on the court all the time.

In the second attack, the inside hook failed, Li Jianwu protected the rebound and gave it to Ying Xiong to counterattack.Ying Xiong counterattacked and passed it to Yang Guocan who was outside the 3-point line. Yang Guocan made a slight adjustment after receiving the ball and made a 3-pointer...

The ball crashed into the net-overtake it!

Fans scattered around the scene began to cheer.The situation of the game changed too quickly. Yizhong, who was 4 points behind just now, relied on Li Jianwu's two free throws and Yang Guocan's 3 points to overtake the score in an instant.

His first start was played by the opponent's substitute. The coach of No. [-] Middle School couldn't sit still and immediately called a timeout.

During the timeout, Shao Ziqiang encouraged the players on the bench to keep them aggressive, pursue the victory and end the first quarter with a lead.

When the timeout expired, players from both sides returned to the field one after another.The Second Squadron did not make any substitutions, it was still the original starting lineup.

The No. [-] Squadron attacked. They passed a few times from the outside and hit the inside.

Because the first squadron had reached the time for a foul and a free throw early, the center of the second squadron walked to the free throw line.

Amid the cheers from the audience, he missed two free throws to his dismay... Li Jianwu took off the rebound and passed it to Ying Xiong to advance.

Ying Xiong held the ball across half court and played the last attack of the first quarter.

Li Jianwu mentioned that Ying Xiong was covered by a high position. The quality of the screen was very high. The opposing center did not follow closely and gave Ying Xiong a big space.Ying Xiong made a direct 3-pointer—it was too short!
The ball hit the front of the basket, and because it was a 3-point shot, the rebound bounced far away and bounced directly into Ying Xiong's hands.

Ying Xiong, who changed direction and easily passed by the man in front of him, stopped suddenly and shot a jumper-finally hit!
At the end of the first quarter, the basketball team of No. 15 Middle School led the basketball team of No. 12 Middle School by 3 points at [-]:[-].

At the start of the second quarter, the No. 5 Middle School still had a lineup of 3 players including Ying Xiong, while the No. 2 Middle School had a lineup of [-] starters and [-] substitutes.

No. [-] Middle School's first attack ended due to a mistake in stepping on the line.

It's the first attack's turn.Ying Xiong took control of the ball and passed it to Liu Zeyang on the outside.Zhu Xiaobo screened for Liu Zeyang. Liu Zeyang broke through with the ball after a pick-and-roll. Halfway through, he stopped the ball and hit the ground to Li Jianwu in the penalty area.Li Jianwu was fouled by the opponent's substitute center just as he was about to make a move after getting the ball at the basket.

Zhu Xiaobo made a throw-in, and Ying Xiong got the ball.Li Jianwu came to pick and roll, and Ying Xiong returned to him after the pick and roll.Li Jianwu took the ball near the left side of the free throw line, and the opponent's substitute center shrank in the penalty area, did not come out to defend, and shot directly.Li Jianwu made a decisive shot - a successful mid-range shot.

Here, the second squadron misses the jumper again, and the first squadron Yingxiong catches the rebound and makes a fast break, and directly succeeds in one-stop.

After a wave of scoring climax, the score has been stretched to 19:12.

The supporters in sideline 2 were very anxious. The excitement at the beginning of the first quarter dropped a lot, and they couldn't be happy about the situation in front of them.
