At 3pm on Sunday, Dongdan Sports Center, National High School Basketball League semi-finals, Yanjing Chunfeng Middle School VS Shanghai No. 2 Middle School.
The stadium was already full of spectators. Because it was in Yanjing, there were more people supporting Gu Yu and Chunfeng Middle School. It was considered a home game.
Song Qian brought Qiao Yingzi, Fang Yifan's family, Huang Zhitao, Wang Yidi, and many students, parents, and teachers from Chunfeng Middle School to the arena to cheer for Gu Yu and the others.
"There are so many people. I thought no one would watch the high school students' competition." Tong Wenjie shouted loudly to Song Qian beside her.
"These are the top four in the country, and more and more people are paying attention." Song Qian also put her hands to her mouth, and shouted into Tong Wenjie's ear, with the sound of cheers, the sound of the venue's speakers, etc., the atmosphere was fiery. .
"Gu Yu, this kid is so great. This is the first time I have experienced such a big scene. I heard that many coaches from college basketball teams and scouts from professional teams came to the scene. It's so exciting!" Tong Wenjie's face was full of sighs. She glanced at her children. Lin Lei'er was pretty good, and she would attend Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future. Looking at Fang Yifan next to her, she didn't know if she could go to undergraduate school. She also saw her husband Fang Yuan's face full of smiles. I happily took several children to rehearse cheering slogans and movements, and the participation was very high.
I feel a little angry, my upper beam is not straight, my lower beam is crooked, my genes are not right and my efforts are useless.
"Look at that area, they are all coaches from various universities and scouts from professional teams. As long as Gu Yu performs normally in this game, he will definitely catch their eyes." Song Qian pointed to the position opposite them on the sideline with a proud expression. Proudly, he said to his best friend.
Song Qian knows a lot about the high school league, not only basketball knowledge, but also off-court information.
"Can Gu Yu win this game?" Tong Wenjie stood up and took a look, not knowing what she was looking at, and then asked.
"It's a bit difficult. The opponent is very strong and there are two professional players." Song Qian looked a little worried. Soon, the players from both sides stood up in the midfield, and the center was about to jump the ball. As the referee sounded, the basketball was thrown high.
Center Wang Zhen of Shanghai No. 2 Middle School easily passed the ball to the team defender. No. 2 Middle School wanted to hit a quick one, and the ball immediately passed to Chen Heng. However, Chunfeng Middle School had already set up a good position and formed an effective man-to-man defense. Chen Heng had to reorganize the offense outside the three-point line and defend in front of him. His was Gu Yu, and the duel began.
"Beep~~" The fierce battle in the first half of 15 minutes ended. The players of Chunfeng Middle School were sitting on the sidelines dejectedly. The head coach was pacing back and forth, but there was no good solution.
Gu Yu put a towel on his head, lowered his head, and breathed calmly. Sweat continued to fall from his face. He took off the towel on his head and looked up at the scoreboard, 32:19.
This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful opponent. In the first half, the opponent's center Wang Zhen was killing everyone in his own three-second zone, but the Chunfeng Middle School basketball team was helpless. Gu Yu saw that Gao Yang and Ding Lei were also guarding Unable to stop Wang Zhen, the opponent insisted on playing Wang Zhen again. He also turned his attention to the inside, trying to double-team and cut the ball to steal, or at least limit his offense. But every time Gu Yu retreated to the inside, Wang Zhen immediately The ball was given to Chen Heng, and the internal and external cores cooperated tacitly. The second middle school scored 32 points in the first half, 28 of which came from the two of them. On the Chunfeng Middle School side, although the defense tried its best, the effect was average, and the offense could only rely on Gu Yu to rely on himself. Ability, sudden inside and outside shooting, scoring 15 points and it was difficult for him to form effective cooperation with his teammates, and the passing line was cut off by the opponent, all of which greatly consumed Gu Yu's physical strength.
"Mom, Gu Yu, this is the first time I've seen him work so hard." Qiao Yingzi murmured to herself, staring at Gu Yu sitting on the sidelines, with worry in her eyes.
Since most of the people present were supporters of Chunfeng Middle School, the home team was at a disadvantage and had no hope of victory. The audience was naturally in a low mood, and the enthusiasm and excitement at the scene was no longer the same as it had been at the beginning.
Song Qian was also looking at Gu Yu on the sidelines. She felt even more heartbroken when she saw him looking up at the score. Although she was usually calm, she knew how proud Gu Yu was and how much he wanted to lead the team to victory. Huang Zhitao and Wang Yidi were also the same. Looking in Gu Yu's direction with worried faces, the two of them nervously pulled their hands together without realizing it. Their white little hands were covered with sweat. The audience saw Gu Yu standing up and didn't know what to do.
"Did we lose?" Gu Yu's calm voice sounded in the rest area of the Chunfeng Middle School basketball team. The teammates of the basketball team raised their heads in confusion and looked at Gu Yu standing in front of them.
"Have we been eliminated?" Gu Yu asked again.
"Not yet." Gao Yang replied with a hesitant tone. Because of the current situation, elimination is only a matter of time.
"No! We haven't lost yet! We haven't been eliminated!" Gu Yu raised his voice. Not only his teammates, but also the audience on the sidelines were attracted.
"It's too early to sigh now. Let's wait until we are eliminated and go home to feel sad. There are still 15 minutes left, and there is still time to fight for victory. Before the last moment, before the last second, we will not be there yet. Lose!" Gu Yu's firm voice and tenacity gradually awakened his teammates.
Under the leadership of Gao Yang, Zhou Hang, Ding Lei and other main players gathered around Gu Yu, the coach nodded heavily to Gu Yu, indicating that he would leave it to you.
"Don't forget what we came here for today! We are here to win, to win! Now we are still 13 points behind, and I need you to defend with me! Now we are still 14 points short of overtaking our opponents, and I need you to follow I'll attack together and fight until the last second!" Gu Yu looked around at his teammates who were getting more and more determined, looking into each other's eyes to feel each other's persistence.
The spectators on the sidelines also felt the change in the home team's mentality and emotions, and began to cheer for them. The college basketball team coaches and professional scouts who were observing the players on the scene couldn't help but nod. Although Chunfeng Middle School fell behind in the first half, Gu Yu showed good scoring ability, physical fitness, and now also showed leadership and tenacity. These All are plus points.
"In the second half, zone defense was used to prevent breakthroughs but not shots. Gao Yang and Ding Lei went around to defend Wang Zhen. Don't let him catch the ball easily. When grabbing rebounds, they squeezed Wang Zhen out of the three-second zone. Zhou Hang and Yang Ke were more aggressive when attacking. Run, run out of space, and break up the opponent's defense." Gu Yu then began to lay out the regular tactics for the second half, and then he motioned for his teammates to get closer. The current scene required some unconventional tactics.
As the referee on the sidelines prompted that the second half was about to begin, the members of the Chunfeng Middle School basketball team gathered together.
"Why are we here?" Gu Yu asked loudly.
"victory!"
"Why did you come?"
"Victory! Victory! Victory!" the team members shouted with high momentum and ferocious faces, which led to even louder cheers from the audience.
