Junior Basketball says

Chapter 97 Take a breath

On the same day that the dust settled on the qualifying teams in Group B, the top names of the other three groups were also freshly announced.The Northeast Division became the biggest winner. Tsinghua University and Civil Aviation University teams both made it to the top four in the country, and the remaining team was Jiangcheng University of Technology.According to the situation in the upper and lower halves of the previous four groups, Peking University’s opponent is Jiangcheng University of Technology, while Tsinghua University faces the Civil Aviation Institute.

It is reasonable to say that beating Huaqiao University with difficulty exhausted the players of Peking University, but the best record in the team history of reaching the national semi-finals gave them a great stimulus. Everyone seemed to be on a stimulant and actively prepared for the next game. Contest.Relatively speaking, the overall strength of Jiangcheng University of Technology is obviously inferior to that of Tsinghua University and Civil Aviation College, which gave Peking University a chance to breathe.

Zhou Zhengbai was even considering whether to let Xu Hao play as a substitute. After all, he played the whole game against Huaqiao University, and his limbs trembled a little after the game. This had never happened before.But Xu Hao refused, and the reason he gave was simple: there were still five days of rest after going back, and Peking University was playing at home, so it was enough to slow down.

This reason was really powerful, and Zhou Zhengbai couldn't raise any objections, so he could only skip Xu Hao's training and let him rest in the dormitory when he had nothing to do.Xu Hao didn't refuse this kindness, and letting him rest now is more useful than training.

As Xu Hao's girlfriend, Xue Yubing took over the task of taking care of him.But for Xu Hao, taking a good rest doesn't mean lying in bed all day and pretending to be dead. It's also good to go shopping and eat with his girlfriend if he has nothing to do.

It has to be said that Xu Hao's physical foundation is still very good, and his physical recovery speed is even abnormal. Only two days later, he appeared on the training ground full of energy. Zhou Zhengbai couldn't drive him away, so he could only agree to let him participate. into team training.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Xu Hao felt very relieved.In fact, according to ordinary people's thinking, after defeating the defending champion, Peking University is obviously the biggest favorite for the national championship this season, and their opponent is still the weakest team among the top four.However, Zhao Chengyuan and the others did not relax, they were still training hard, no one wanted to capsize in the gutter.

Five days later, Peking University welcomed Jiangcheng University of Technology from the central region at its home court.Although they knew that Peking University, which had defeated Huaqiao University, was at its peak, the players from Jiangcheng Polytechnic did not see any fearful look on their faces. On the contrary, their eyes were still burning with blazing flames. In their view, as long as they were opponents, they would be the best. Nothing is absolutely invincible.

But after the game started, they quickly felt what is called the gap in strength.Xu Hao made a big splash in the last game, so this time he changed his approach and wholeheartedly delivered shells to his teammates and helped them brush up their statistics.

The other players of Peking University also wanted to prove themselves, and no one wanted to be seen as a thigh hugger.Xu Hao is very clear about their thinking, so in this game, he only intends to help his teammates a little when they can't start the game. At other times, it is better to sort out the offense. Anyway, Zhao Chengyuan and his strength can solve many problems.

But Xu Hao didn't tell Zhou Zhengbai this, but just quietly communicated with Mo Tianming.The latter is actually a little happy after knowing that he can let go of the offense in this game. It seems that the blood of offense is flowing in the bones of most players.

Xu Hao did what he said, and his first ball in this game formed a direct assist.It was a pick-and-roll cooperation with Zhao Chengyuan. After he broke into the middle, he directly hit the ground and gave the ball to Zhao Chengyuan.The two looked at each other with a smile and bumped their fists.

Under Xu Hao's tandem, the Peking University men's basketball team scored 32 points in the first quarter and limited the opponent to less than 20 points, directly achieving a double-digit lead.Moreover, he only played 7 minutes in the first quarter, which was also Zhou Zhengbai's care for him. With the team occupying an absolute advantage, Xu Hao didn't need to do everything by himself like he did against Huaqiao University.

Despite this, Jiangcheng Polytechnic was completely unable to stop the impact of other Peking University players. Although they worked very hard to narrow the point difference, some things cannot be achieved with hard work. The score in the first quarter can already explain the problem. .

After half of the second quarter, Xu Hao went into battle again.In this quarter, he didn't score at all, but grabbed 5 rebounds and sent 6 assists. After his debut, Peking University began to continue to expand its lead.

The players of Jiangcheng University of Technology were about to cry: Your old man, can you let us go with a high hand?
The answer is of course no.At the end of the half, Peking University had opened the point difference to 20 points, and they had the upper hand on the field. Even the most optimistic people did not believe that Jiangcheng University of Technology could complete a desperate counterattack in the second half.

After 20 minutes of brutal blows, the players of Jiangcheng University of Technology no longer expect to win, they just hope not to lose too badly.Zhou Zhengbai didn't intend to kill them all, he directly removed Xu Hao from the starting lineup in the second half.Xu Hao has no objection either. Reversals of 20+ points are rare in the CUBA arena. At worst, he will play again at that time.

However, Jiangcheng University of Technology obviously didn't want to "trouble" Xu Hao anymore. They never set off any decent scoring climax. Xu Hao only went up for a walk for a few minutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and was directly replaced by Zhou Zhengbai and pressed on the bench. .

Despite this, his personal data is still luxurious: 10 points, 11 rebounds and an astonishing 16 assists!
Under Xu Hao's guidance, five members of the Peking University team scored in double figures. Zhao Chengyuan scored a game-high 25 points and 16 rebounds, completely dominating the basket.Peking University also easily defeated Jiangcheng University of Technology 93-74 to advance to the finals.

However, what makes Zhao Chengyuan want to cry is that after this game, the focus of media discussion is still Xu Hao. His super insider who contributed 20+10 is just a passing mention, and he is not at all the top treatment he imagined before.

But this is also understandable.If the 43 points scored by Huaqiao University in the last game let everyone see Xu Hao's abnormal scoring ability, then the triple-double in this game proves that Xu Hao is still an excellent commander.It is undoubtedly difficult for such a strong player to continue to grow in the small temple of CUBA. He has not encountered too many challenges.

Many people are imagining Xu Hao's future, should he enter a professional club, or simply go to the other side of the ocean to experience a higher level of basketball?But what they didn't know was that Xu Hao already had enough detailed plans in his heart.
