Junior Basketball says

Chapter 86
The only good news for Peking University is that their opponent in the first group match is Southwest Jiaotong University, which is not that strong. This will, to a certain extent, allow the players to adjust their state to face the next step. The hard fight.

The match of Group B was arranged in the basketball hall of Huaqiao University, which also reflected to a certain extent the importance that CUBA attaches to this veteran team.After a hasty meeting with Xue Yong, Xu Hao packed his bags and set foot on the train going south with his teammates. They had to hurry up to adapt to the field, otherwise the overall strength of the team would be affected.

Huaqiao University is located in Citong City, Fujian Province. Although it is an institution, it is not as famous as Ludao University in the same province, let alone Peking University, Tsinghua University and other schools.However, what is surprising is that such a school has a brilliant record in college basketball. It is considered to be the only dynasty team in CUBA since its establishment, and its strength is unheard of.

After coming to Huaqiao University, the school carefully arranged the board and lodging of the Peking University men's basketball team, and actively contacted the venue to train them. Such treatment made Xu Hao and the others feel flattered.Generally speaking, it’s not as good as being at home in an away game. It’s good if the host doesn’t make any fools. Huaqiao University is simply unique.

But from another perspective, this is also their confidence as a top team, and they don't want to lose face in front of other teams.Perhaps in the minds of Huaqiao University players, no matter how the opponent prepares, they must be the ones who will advance in the end.

Now Peking University players don't think too much about the other two games, they are gearing up to face Southwest Jiaotong University.For them, although this is only a group match, there is no room for loss in any game, because they cannot expect Huaqiao University to make mistakes. Only by defeating their opponents with all their strength can they gain the initiative to qualify. Southwest Jiaotong University happened to use it to sacrifice the flag.

However, any team that has reached the top 16 in the country is not easy to mess with. Southwest Jiaotong University is just not as good as the traditional powerful Huaqiao University and Northwest Wanglongcheng University of Technology. Their strength is actually not bad.For this reason, Zhou Zhengbai specially strengthened the internal and external connections between Xu Hao and Zhao Chengyuan, hoping that they could gain an advantage in the competition and directly kill their opponents in one go.

In addition to them, another player who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility was the starting small forward Wang Mingming. His task was to entangle the opponent's top scorer, Fan Xinwei.Although he has always formed the team's outermost defense line with Xu Hao, facing Fan Junwei, who averaged 20+ points per game this season, Wang Mingming still needs to play [-] points in the game to succeed.

Wang Mingming is not a proud and conceited person. He had played against Fan Junwei last season. Although he could still suppress his opponents at that time, since the head coach has been prudent and exhorted, it means that Fan Junwei is in the game. This season has improved significantly, which makes Wang Mingming not dare to underestimate it.If he can't stop the opponent, it will be very difficult for the team to win.

It's a pity that many things can't be expected if they are not prepared early. Before the game, Wang Mingming had estimated Fan Junwei's strength as much as possible, and Zhou Zhengbai also reminded him of many things. As a result, he was suppressed by the opponent from the beginning of the game.

Due to his height, Xu Hao almost never switched defenses with Wang Mingming. In fact, even if he switched defenses, he would probably be beaten by the opponent. The difference in height is often a decisive factor.So when Fan Junwei scored consecutively, Xu Hao only did one thing, and that was to confront him to see who could find more loopholes in the opponent's defense and help the team take the lead.

I have to say that Fan Junwei is still very strong. This seemingly inconspicuous small forward has sharp breakthrough skills. Wang Mingming's defense is like paper in front of him, and often even slows down his speed. Can't do it.

The weak perimeter defense has greatly increased the pressure on Zhao Chengyuan under the basket. He must always pay attention to the movement of the opponent's ball holder to prevent the inside line from being directly sieved.In this way, he has little energy to take care of the offensive end.

Xu Hao almost carried the banner of offense alone. Of course, he is not purely singles. As the ball holder handpicked by the coach, he will still create opportunities for his teammates, but the frequency of singles with the ball has greatly increased.Unlike Fan Junwei who relied solely on his physical strength, Xu Hao's breakthrough was mainly due to the unpredictable rhythm, which also saved him a lot of energy.

In the first 5 minutes of the game, Fan Junwei was still able to compete with Xu Hao in terms of shooting, but as the game gradually deepened, his physical fitness began to decline, and the number of strikes became more and more.In fact, although Wang Mingming can seldom prevent his breakthroughs, he can still stalk like nougat. This is also an important factor for Fan Junwei's physical decline.

The coach of Southwest Jiaotong University had to let Fan Junwei take a rest. He had already seen it, and put his favorite general on the field, not to mention helping the team gain the lead.Of course, he didn't forget to make trouble for Xu Hao, who was the most popular on the field. The striker who replaced Fan Junwei was also a fierce defensive guy. To score from the scoring position, it is best to put some pressure on him.

But this is not a problem for Xu Hao at all. After losing Fan Junwei, Zhao Chengyuan's consumption on the defensive end has been reduced a lot, and he can naturally free up his hands on the offensive end.When the two cores of Peking University merged, the mere Southwest Jiaotong University could not stop them at all.After Peking University took off, it would be useless to replace Fan Junwei as the head coach of Southwest Jiaotong University.

Under the leadership of the dual core, Peking University easily defeated Southwest Jiaotong University and won the first victory in the top 16 group stage. For them, a good start is worth celebrating, at least they will not be at the bottom of the final ranking.Of course, it was Xu Hao who was more in the limelight. He easily scored a triple-double in this game: 21 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, which blinded many people's eyes.Some media have already called him the best rookie of the season, and he deserves this title.

But Xu Hao was not complacent about it, he didn't even bother to read the news, although the lines were full of praise for him.For Xu Hao, the next game is more important than watching the news. Neither Longcheng University of Technology nor Huaqiao University is easy to play with. Dangerous.
