Basketball Myth: Super Guard

The Indiana High School Basketball League's 8-to-4 games are all over. Except for the game of St. Joseph High School vs. North Lawrence High School, the other three games are No. 1 seed vs. No. 8 seed, No. 2 seed vs. No. 7 seed, No. 3 seed vs No. 6 seed.

No upsets, no surprises, the No. 1, 2, and 3 seeds successfully won and advanced to the top 4.

For St. Joseph's High School, this is definitely not good news, because the North Lawrence High School they defeated is the No. 4 seed, so after entering the semi-finals, the next round, which is the semi-final, will be against St. Joseph High School. No. 1 seed Wood High School.

Wood High School can become the No. 1 seed, the strength is self-evident.

This season from the league to the present, Wood High School still maintains a 100% record and has not lost any game.

There is no doubt that Wood High School is strong, even stronger than North Lawrence High School, and more than a little bit stronger, and they are the favorites to win this year.

St. Joseph's High School, in the basketball arena.

The players are training, but none of them seem to be in high spirits, and there are still worries in their eyes, because tomorrow is the semi-final.

Facing No. 1 seed Wood High School, their ace player Qin Hao was unable to play again due to injury. The players had no confidence in the game. The gap was so large that they could not even have the courage to fight.

Qin Hao was also in the arena, standing at the free throw line to practice free throws.

After two days of rest, Qin Hao had completely thrown away his wheelchair. His body recovery ability surprised him again. In just two days, the redness and swelling of his knees had disappeared, and there was no problem in walking, he was just exerting his strength. The knee still hurts.

"Shh!"

With a bang, the ball went in.

Qin Hao did not continue, but came to Frank's side and said, "Coach, let me play tomorrow's game."

"No." Frank refused categorically, "Qin, it's only been two days, your injury is not healed yet, what you need to do now is to take good care of it."

Qin Hao said: "Coach, I'm much better, really." After speaking, Qin Hao jumped twice, and suddenly felt pain in his knee, but he held it back and didn't show it. Instead, he grinned and said. : "Look, I'm totally fine. The doctors have said that it's just a contusion, no structural damage, and it's fine."

Frank looked at Qin Hao and was very dissatisfied with Qin Hao's jumping and jumping at this moment, and said: "The doctor also said that you need to brake, you can't run and jump, and you can do simple exercise after at least a week."

"But I..."

Qin Hao still wanted to fight, but was interrupted directly by Frank, and he didn't let go at all: "Qin, no matter what you say, I won't let you in this game."

After speaking, seeing Qin Hao's expression of loss, his tone finally softened and said, "Hey, I know, it's not easy for us to get to this point, you're not willing to stop here, after all, it's already in the semi-finals, We're just two steps away from a state championship."

"But." Frank looked at Kroger, Douglas, Terry and others on the court and said helplessly: "You should also know that our background is too poor. Team lineup, tactical literacy, bench depth, competition experience , these are too far from Wood High School, can we beat Wood High School?"

Facing this question, Qin Hao could only be silent.

The gap in strength is huge and obvious, especially in the face of a No. 1 seeded team like Wood High School, the gap is almost irreparable, like a gap.

Not to mention that Qin Hao is still injured, even if he is not injured, St. Joseph High School plays with a full lineup, and the chance of defeating Wood High School is very small.

In the previous game against North Lawrence High School, Qin Hao's breakthrough ability had transformed, his strength increased a bit, and he won the game only when he was almost desperate.

Now facing Wood High School, what to fight for?

"Qin, I will never let you play with an injury again." Frank's tone was firm. Now he thinks of the game against North Lawrence High School with lingering fears. If Qin Hao is seriously injured, he will never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

This kind of thing is enough, he will never allow Qin Hao to risk his health and his future again.

Nothing can be said.

Qin Hao is a player, he can be very pure, he will do anything to win, but Frank is a coach, he must think more.

In the end, Qin Hao still failed to convince Frank.

......

The next day, the players headed to the road to challenge No. 1 seed Wood High School.

Qin Hao also went out with the team, but just sat on the bench to cheer on his teammates.

It has to be said that the strength of the two sides is indeed very different, and St. Joseph High School has been at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

Without Qin Hao's sharp knife, St. Joseph's High School played very stagnant, not smooth at all, and had a very low hit rate. On the defensive end, they couldn't defend Wood High at all.

The reason why Wood High School can become the No. 1 seed is that they have excellent ace players, and the role players are all very good. The twin towers in the interior are a nightmare for all teams. Douglas and Terry were directly blown up, There is no fighting back.

In the entire St. Joseph High School, only Kroger played well, but only good, not amazing at all.

Only halftime, Wood High School led as many as 14 points.

"It's a pity Qin was injured, otherwise St. Joseph High School wouldn't have played so badly."

"yes."

At this time, the fans missed Qin Hao very much, and they all looked at Qin Hao sitting on the bench. Qin Hao clenched his fists and was very unwilling, but he also had to admit that the opponent was very strong, stronger than North Lawrence High School, even if I don't have much confidence in myself.

By the time the three quarters were over, the suspense had basically been lost, and Wood had a 17-point lead.

"beep......"

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the score was 89:73, and Wood High School defeated St. Joseph High School by 16 points to advance to the final.

Kroger, Douglas, Terry, Harold, Kelly, several players walked off the court, feeling both helpless and unwilling.

It's just that the game is over.

"St. Joseph's High School lost."

"Hey, the background of St. Joseph's High School is still too bad. Before relying on Qin, he could perform miracles many times. When Qin was injured, they were finished."

In the audience, the fans sighed.

This season, St. Joseph High School can be said to be a dark horse. Among the 32 teams, it counterattacked all the way, and even defeated North Lawrence High School and reached the semifinals.

It's a pity that they finally fell in the semi-finals and were not able to black out.

It was an imperfect ending, but St. Joseph's name, game after game, is etched in the memory of fans.
