Junior Basketball says

Chapter 83
The end times of the four groups were almost the same. In Group A, Peking University took the lead, followed by the host Liaoda University. Jilin University, which also had a partial home court advantage, ranked third, and Tianda University had to be the last.And their opponents in the cross-elimination round are the four teams in Group B of the death group. As for the rankings, the first to fourth groups in Group B are Tsinghua University, North Sports, Beihua and Imperial Finance and Trade.

The first round of the cross-elimination round is very simple, and it doesn't take much effort for the strong teams.As the first place in Group A, Peking University will face the fourth place in Group B, Didu Finance and Trade, and Liao University will face the third place Beihua. Jida University and Tianda University are relatively tragic. Their opponents are the second place in Group B, Beijing Sports and No. [-] Tsinghua University, these two schools are not good.

Xu Hao and the others didn't pay attention. The strong teams didn't fight until later. Now they only had to deal with the finance and trade of the imperial capital. The reason why CUBA officials organized the group stage first and then the cross-elimination tournament was largely because they didn’t want the strong teams to meet in advance, but I don’t know why they suddenly thought twice and divided the two schools, Tsinghua and Bei Sports. Just the same group.

If the top two in the group stage were to cross-eliminate, the Peking University players might still be a little nervous, but since they are against the fourth in Group B, no matter how difficult the game is, there is a limit.However, this game still attracted a lot of media from BJ. Although the strength of the two teams is not small, it is still a civil war in the imperial capital, and there are still some gimmicks that can be hyped.

In an interview before the game, the captain of Imperial Finance and Trade was still very stubborn. He said to the reporter: "I know that Peking University is the first in Group A, and we are only fourth in Group B, but the overall strength of our group is obviously in Group A. Above all, even if Peking University is the first place in Group A, it will take a lot of effort to kill us, and, who knows if we can create miracles?"

During the subsequent interviews, some good reporters told these words to Zhao Chengyuan, who came to attend the press conference on behalf of Peking University.In fact, Zhao Chengyuan is not a good-tempered person when facing opponents, his response is - "haha".

This taunt quickly made the players of Imperial Finance and Trade extremely angry. We know you are very strong, but we are all from BJ's high school, so you should give us some face.Since you don't give face, don't blame us for not giving it either!
It's a pity that their face is not worth much, because their strength is too weak compared to Peking University.

Didu Finance is a team that tends to attack, and their defense is relatively average, which gives Peking University more opportunities.Xu Hao can easily find the flaw in their defensive system every time he attacks, and then delivers a fatal blow.The insider Zhao Chengyuan also got a lot of opportunities. In fact, unless he meets a top team like Tsinghua University, his dominance at the basket can be said to be unparalleled, and the insiders who abuse the imperial finance and trade casually can only be regarded as an appetizer.

Peking University suppressed its opponents almost from the beginning of the game. For this reason, Zhou Zhengbai even boldly continued to rotate, letting more players come on the court to feel the atmosphere of the game.However, he did not get carried away. At least one of Xu Hao and Zhao Chengyuan would stay on the field and lead his teammates to charge into the battle. Zhou Zhengbai did not want to overturn while training.

The players of Imperial Capital Finance and Trade felt very sad and angry, especially their captain. The bold words released before the game almost became a joke, and the effect continued.In fact, on the field, they also tried their best to narrow the point difference, but unfortunately, the absolute gap in hard power made their idea a luxury. If they were not ahead by 20 points, Peking University would be merciful.

Zhou Zhengbai couldn't bear it. Although he felt a little unhappy about the words released by Imperial Capital Finance before the game, the relationship between the two schools was actually quite harmonious. Moreover, this was a knockout round, so there was no need to compare the points difference. Win by 1 point and Winning by 100 points doesn't make much difference in the outcome.So when the timeout was called for the first time, Zhou Zhengbai repeatedly warned the players to maintain a steady rhythm and not to just kill for a while without paying attention to anything. This would not look good when they meet in the future, and just think of what they said before as farts.

Some people were not very willing. They just wanted to teach their opponents a lesson, but Zhao Chengyuan convinced them as the captain, and the reason was almost impeccable: "We are the stronger team, and of course we have to show our grace." Well!"

Xu Hao also doesn't mind the team showing off the demeanor of a strong player. He consciously slows down the pace of the game. Even if his side grabs a backcourt rebound, his first choice is not to quickly launch a transition attack, but to dribble the ball slowly. Halftime and then began to grind the position.This kind of performance made Zhou Zhengbai very satisfied. It is very common to blindly play fast defenders, but it is relatively rare to be fast or slow, let alone an excellent player like Xu Hao who can understand the coach's instructions and quickly execute them.

Zhao Chengyuan admired Xu Hao's ability to control the rhythm of the game. In his opinion, this was a very high-end ability.Under normal circumstances, teams have their own fixed style of playing fast or slow. Once the style is changed in a short period of time, whether the effect is good or not is put aside for the time being, and it may be self-defeating.Peking University is also a team accustomed to fast-paced offense and defense, but under Xu Hao's control, although the team slowed down, there were no major problems, which he couldn't help but admire.

However, in Xu Hao's view, this is just a basic ability. If you want to become a top defender, this is an essential skill.Zhao Chengyuan was still measuring the standard of normal college players, so he naturally felt that Xu Hao was very good. However, Xu Hao held himself to the standards of professional players, so he was never satisfied and kept honing his skills day and night.

Seeing that Peking University slowed down, Imperial Finance and Trade immediately felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. Although they didn't understand why Peking University, which had been so lively in the previous games, seemed to be exhausted in the second quarter, they all knew that this was good news.

As a result, Peking University soon let them know that some things were just illusions, and the so-called lack of physical strength did not exist at all.When they had a tendency to take the lead, Xu Hao casually organized a wave or two of conversion attacks, and hit a three-pointer himself, which directly killed the wishful thinking of the Imperial Capital Finance and Trade in the cradle, forcing them to die down.

The so-called civil war in the imperial capital became one-sided, which many people did not expect before the game. Peking University easily eliminated its younger brother. Their goal was to compete in the national competition.
