Chapter 169: Reaching the semi-finals. The rematch is different from the preliminary round. The rematch is a single elimination match, and the time of each game is changed to 15 minutes in each half. Each team has a long timeout in the first half and a long timeout.
The duration is 3 minutes, and the short pause is only one minute.
I don’t know if it was due to Xiao Tianming’s outburst of character, but Xiao Tianming’s “Big Three Management Team” actually managed to avoid the eight seeded teams in the first two games and reached the quarterfinals without any danger, becoming the only one in the quarterfinals.
An unseeded team.
"I didn't expect that guy to be so lucky that he could make it into the quarterfinals." Zhang Xian said with disdain as he looked at the match list.
"Any winning team has a certain amount of luck, but luck alone will never win. Who will be their next opponent?" Zhao Zhongguo glanced at Zhang Xian and said calmly.
"Xiongfeng, the Xiongfeng team that Ouyang Xiong belongs to. They are killing each other. Now we have a good show." Zhang Xianyin said with a smile.
"A good show? This is indeed a good show! But who will stay on the stage in the end?" Zhao Zhongguo murmured.
Zhang Xian couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhao Zhongguo's words: "Of course it's Ouyang Xiong. Do you think he has the strength to defeat Ouyang Xiong?"
Zhao Zhongguo shook his head and said in disagreement: "It's not certain who will win! You know, Xiao Tianming's skills now are several times better than those in the first game. I really want to know: When he defeated the finals, his strength was
So what happens?”
"Final?" When Zhang Xian heard Zhao Zhongguo's words, he seemed to have heard an extremely funny joke.
"Since you have time to laugh here, why not prepare for the game." After Zhao Zhongguo finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
Zhao Zhongguo is right. Xiao Tianming has shown improvement in the past few days and has become very familiar with many basic skills. With the help of Yuan Jie, Yu Ji and Han Qiang have also made great progress. In addition, the three of them are working together even more tacitly.
, the team's combat effectiveness has been improved by leaps and bounds. Now when they encounter ordinary teams, Xiao Tianming and the others can definitely easily deal with them. However, compared with the powerful Zhao Zhongguo and the others, there is still a huge gap in the strength of Xiao Tianming and the others.
Zhao Zhongguo's team is called "Junlin Tianxia". Without Zhao Zhongguo, "Junlintianxia" advanced to the quarterfinals with a huge advantage of seven goals and ten goals. In the quarterfinals, "Junlintianxia" won the first place in the quarterfinals.
One game against the fifth seed.
The showdown between the No. 1 seed and the No. 5 seed, which lacked the absolute main force, was a close match in the eyes of the audience. However, the development of the game was beyond people's expectations. "Jun Lin Tian Xia" gave full play to their bastard spirit, cutting down
The No. 5 seed was beaten like firewood until he lost his temper. In the end, the opponent was so tortured that he lost his temper and gave up in advance before the time ran out.
"So strong!" Although Chen Bailu couldn't stand Zhang Xian's proud look, she had to admit in her heart that they were indeed very strong.
"And that's even when Zhao Zhongguo didn't appear." Ouyang Zhi thought for a while and added to Chen Bailu's words.
Chen Bailu turned to Ouyang Zhi and asked: "In the next game, our team will compete with your brother's team. Xiaozhi, who do you think will win?"
"In terms of strength, my brother's team seems to be much stronger." Ouyang Zhi shrugged and said helplessly.
"Then who do you hope will win?" Chen Bailu's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and then asked Ouyang Zhi.
When Ouyang Zhi heard Chen Bailu's question, an unnatural look flashed across her face, and she pretended not to care and said to Chen Bailu: "Can my wishes affect the game? If you have the energy, why not go to the stadium to grab a seat first?"
The rematch is scheduled to be held in the indoor gymnasium. This is the second game today, "Management Big Three" vs. "Xiongfeng"!
"Tianming, I didn't expect that we would meet on the field." Before the game started, Ouyang Xiong came over and took the initiative to say hello to Xiao Tianming.
Xiao Tianming smiled faintly and said to Ouyang Xiong: "It's a competition. As long as you don't get eliminated, it will be a matter of time before we meet."
Ouyang Xiong smiled awkwardly, patted Xiao Tianming's shoulder and said, "Tianming, I wish you good luck! I hope we can give the audience a wonderful game."
"I will! Brother Ouyang, I also wish you good luck!" Xiao Tianming said with a faint smile.
The second game of the quarter-finals officially started with the referee's whistle. "Xiongfeng" started its first attack.
Before the game started, Yu Ji went out to collect information about "Xiongfeng". There were three people in "Xiongfeng". In addition to Ouyang Xiong, who was good at playing power forward, one of the other two people was named Wu Yao, nicknamed "Crow";
One is named Hu Lin, nicknamed "Fox". Wu Yao is tall and tall.
When raising his hands, he can block the opponent's sight, giving the impression that a large crow is flying darkly across the sky. The active area is mainly under the basket; Hu Lin is flexible, has extremely fast footsteps, and often makes unexpected moves, which makes him
He is hard to guard against and is a typical shooting guard.
Hu Lin handed the ball to Ouyang Xiong and took the initiative to pull it near the three-point line; Wu Yao ran to the basket and waited for the response.
Xiao Tianming did not leave the important task of defending Ouyang Xiong to others, but chose to do it himself. Facing Xiao Tianming, Ouyang Xiong's eyes flashed with excitement. If the scene in the martial arts hall was a great shame for Ouyang Xiong,
, then this moment became the time for Ouyang Xiong to try to regain his face. Defeating Xiao Tianming on the basketball court became Ouyang Xiong's opportunity to save his face.
"Tianming, you are very fast! Then let me see how fast you are on the basketball court." Ouyang Xiong's eyes flashed with strong fighting spirit, and he did not choose to pass the ball to the player who was constantly in need.
Wu Yao missed the ball, but directly got up to grab Xiao Tianming.
Ouyang Xiong's movements were quite skillful. He kept crossing his hands to dribble, and his fake moves one after another dazzled Xiao Tianming, who was guarding him, and made him feel miserable. If Xiao Tianming hadn't been dominant in absolute speed and always stayed close to Ouyang Xiong,
Otherwise, he would have been left behind by Ouyang Xiong. Even so, Xiao Tianming was helpless in the face of Ouyang Xiong's breakthrough.
"Bang!" Ouyang Xiong moved the ball within the three-second zone, first made a fake move to sway Xiao Tianming away, and then made a fadeaway jumper to score the ball, leaving Xiao Tianming who was defending him helpless. Faced with Xiao Tianming's depression,
Ouyang Xiong smiled proudly.
"Naruko, are you okay?" Han Qiang and Yu Ji hurried over and expressed comfort to Xiao Tianming.
Xiao Tianming shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm fine! This little setback is nothing. It seems that we should work harder."
"Manage the Big Three" attack, Xiao Tianming catches the ball from Han Qiang. Facing Ouyang Xiong's defense, Xiao Tianming makes a fake jump upward to shake Ouyang Xiong, and then uses his speed to bypass Ouyang Xiong's defense, a beautiful
Layup and score the ball.
"It seems that you all overestimated his luck and underestimated his strength." Zhao Zhongguo, who was watching the ball, said to the players next to him, "Just by the way he beat Ouyang Xiong, he is already enough to become a player."
I am Zhao Zhongguo’s opponent.”
After Xiao Tianming scored a goal, Ouyang Xiong immediately returned another goal. After that, Xiao Tianming used cooperation to quickly bring the score back. Although Xiao Tianming and the others were unable to defend Ouyang Xiong's sharp attack, they were able to find ways to score the ball.
Scored. The two teams were going back and forth, and the score kept rising, but no one could widen the gap. At the end of the half, the two sides were tied.
"Damn! They were so lucky. We had to guard several goals, but they scored them in the end." Yu Ji kept complaining while drinking water. The fighting in the first half gave way to
His physical exertion was great.
"We must find a way to curb their inside attack. Otherwise, in the second half, if our shooting percentage drops due to physical exhaustion, it will be difficult for us. Xuan'er, do you have any good ideas?" Xiao Tianming turned to
Murong Xuan asked.
At this moment, Murong Xuan was more of a coach than a coach, and seemed to have become a strategist advising Xiao Tianming and others.
Murong Xuan frowned and thought for a while, then said to Xiao Tianming: "There is a way, but it is more risky. Compared with the 'five-a-side' basketball, the venue is smaller and the number of people is smaller, so the coordination requirements must be met
More accurate. You can boldly abandon man-to-man defense, adopt zone compression defense, put all your strength inside, and give up the outside to them. As they just said, in the second half, as your physical strength is exhausted, your shooting percentage will decrease accordingly. You
We can use this opportunity to fight back against them."
Everyone listened to Murong Xuan's suggestion and adopted a zone compression defense in the second half, leaving Ouyang Xiong and the others on the perimeter. At first, Ouyang Xiong scored a few goals with his prepared shooting percentage, widening the gap. However, as the hits followed
As the rate dropped, Xiao Tianming and the others caught up with the score again. The two teams once again reached a stalemate in terms of score.
In the last 15 seconds, Xiao Tianming and his team led Ouyang Xiong's team by one goal, but the ball was in Ouyang Xiong's hands.
In the last attack that was a matter of life and death, Ouyang Xiong did not choose to break through forcefully, but handed the ball to Hu Lin, who had good ball control skills.
Hu Lin acted very calmly when facing Yu Ji, who was taller than him. After a pick-and-roll with Wu Yao, Hu Lin broke into the inside and faced Han Qiang, who came up to fill in, and passed the ball back to Wu Yao behind him.
Yao. Wu Yao made a fake shot and passed the ball to Ouyang Xiong who had already broken into the basket. For Ouyang Xiong, this was an excellent opportunity to tie the score.
I saw Ouyang Xiong holding the ball firmly between his hands, jumping up on the spot and throwing the ball. The time was set at the last 3 seconds.
"Ah..." At this time, Xiao Tianming, who was already ambushing under the basket, shouted, jumped up quickly, and hit the ball thrown by Ouyang Xiong.
Xiao Tianming's fingertips rubbed the bottom of the basketball, changing the flight path of the basketball. The basketball that might have entered the basket was bounced out. With a whistle, Xiao Tianming and the others entered the semifinals without any danger. For Xiao Tianming and the others
