The opening three-pointer in basketball

In the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, Canaan arrived in the city where the competition was located. I heard from Zhou Guoqiang that the competition location in Canaan's district was taken over by one of the four seed teams. To put it bluntly, it was the opponent.

After taking advantage of the home field, we have to be more cautious when facing each other later.

Regarding this, Li Sihai was still laughing and joking.

"Coach, I'm not crazy. Our district is notoriously weak. Qida, the original number one seed, is only at the middle level among the three districts' joint training teams. It has long been inferior to us, not to mention

Even if we perform poorly and lose to Qida, wouldn't it be nice to keep the top four?"

Bai Yi, who was walking in the middle of the team, glanced at Li Sihai and had to say that what he just said sounded really crazy, but it was indeed the truth, because even Bai Yi couldn't find anything to say to refute.

But having said that, what is different from the previous grassroots preliminaries is that there are only 16 teams participating in the regional competition, and the top four advance to the national competition. So will this promotion ranking also be related to progress rewards?

Bai Yi squinted his eyes and touched his chin, he would rather believe that it exists than believe that it doesn't exist.

Bai Yi turned to look at Li Sihai and said coldly: "We must qualify first."

Bai Yi's sudden voice caused the surrounding Canaan players to be stunned. After seeing Bai Yi's eyes, Li Sihai quickly put away his previous cynicism and nodded solemnly: "I will try my best to pass it on to you.

Ball."

Why did the painting style suddenly change...

Everyone looked at each other.

After a while, Zhou Guoqiang led the Canaan team to the vicinity of Ming University School.

"First go to the hotel and put down all your luggage, then go with me to prepare for the process, and also get familiar with the venue."

"yes."

Bai Yi dragged his suitcase and looked around. He was a little surprised to find that not far from Mingda, there was a hotel that should be regarded as a star.

But it's a pity that for this outing that requires money from Canaan School, Bai Yi and the others will never be allowed to live in a place like this. It's too "extravagant and wasteful". It should probably be...

Bai Yi's eyes moved suddenly and locked on a small sign on the commercial street a few hundred meters away from the hotel.

"Thirty yuan a night."

ha……

A few minutes later, the Canaan team stopped. They all raised their heads in shock, including Bai Yi, who had always kept his emotions and anger to himself, and couldn't help but stare.

"Coach, do we really want to live here?"

Zhou Guoqiang looked at these boys who were about the same age as his own children with a smile on his face, and nodded proudly.

"That's right, our Canaan basketball team has always had poor results in the past. This time it is rare to reach the regional competition, and there is such a high chance of entering the national competition. As your coach, why don't you try your best to help you get what you deserve?

What about the benefits?”

“A three-star hotel, a double room, costs more than 300 per night, although it’s cheaper if you book it for the week.”

Tian Baibai, who knew some things in advance, finally stood up and explained.

"Hey hey hey!"

Zhou Guoqiang quickly stretched out his hand to cover several players who were so excited that they almost screamed: "Please be quiet, don't make it look like Grandma Li has entered the Grand View Garden. Isn't it embarrassing?"

"Coach, this is Grandma Liu."

Li Sihai couldn't help but remind him.

"You are the only one who talks a lot!"

Zhou Guoqiang glared at Li Sihai: "Stop standing still, hurry in and register!"

"oh!!"

The group rushed into the hotel quickly, checked in at the front desk where they had already made a reservation, got the keys and put their luggage upstairs, and then followed Zhou Guoqiang to Mingda University.

In fact, to be honest, Bai Yi didn't want to run in this game anymore. He was familiar with the venue and so on. It really didn't have any impact on him. Anyway, they were both schools and basketball courts, so what difference could there be.

But Zhou Guoqiang insisted on going together, so Bai Yi had no choice but to go there.

————————————————————————

In the Mingda University basketball court, many participating teams have arrived. Some are just watching from the sidelines, while others are bringing basketballs onto the court and practicing shooting.

Zhou Guoqiang went to go through the procedures and did not follow him to the basketball court. Canaan and his party made their own arrangements.

"If you want to play, go practice. If you don't want to play, don't run around. The game will start tomorrow. Be careful of getting into trouble."

As the captain, Li Sihai appropriately performed his role at this moment, directing everyone to do what they should do.

Naturally, Bai Yi didn't go to the court to practice. He just stood outside the court, watching the players on the court and the spectators outside the court.

"The competition process and groupings have been obtained."

After a while, Zhou Guoqiang came back with a form and handed it to Bai Yi first.

Bai Yi took the form and glanced at it roughly.

The divisional competition is the second stage of cuba. It is conducted by region. There are a total of four regions in China, with sixteen teams in each region.

The sixteen teams will also be divided into four groups, group abcd, with four teams in each group, such as a1 to a4, and there is often a "seed team" in each group to prevent

These "seeds" are encountered too early.

For example, Qida, the first seed, and Chengda, who was originally the fourth seed, are now replaced by Canaan.

But as for how this seeded team is judged and who judges it, Bai Yi is not very interested.

The process of the divisional round is divided into two stages. The first is the group round-robin, which means that Canaan needs to play a game with every team in the group. In the end, it will be determined by the number of wins. The top two in the group will advance.

The second stage.

Cross-elimination is a cross-elimination competition between the top two teams of four groups, with a total of eight teams. It is roughly the first place in one group versus the second place in another group. The winner is promoted, and the loser is eliminated, waiting for the subsequent rankings.

After the ranking competition, the top four will advance to the national competition.

"Why bother with this? Can't we just randomly fight and eliminate them?"

Bai Yi thought for a while, tilted his neck, and muttered in confusion.

If you follow Bai Yi's idea, even if you play one game a day, it will be over after a total of five days. However, according to the game process on the table, before finishing this divisional game, Canaan must at least be in

Just stay here for a week.

"Okay, aren't you happy that you can play more games and miss a few days of classes?"

Li Sihai replied with some contempt.

"But having said that, this Mingda needs to be a little more careful."

Li Sihai raised his finger and pointed at the seed team in the third group, which was the school where the divisional competition was held.

"What happened to them?"

Facing the confused looks of Bai Yi and others, Li Sihai explained: "You have also seen the basketball court of Mingda University. It is very big and it can be seen that it is a well-established school. But according to what I checked, they entered the national level last time.

The competition was almost ten years ago, but this year, for some unknown reason, it suddenly emerged like our Canaan team, killing the original third seed and replacing it, becoming the third seed in the divisional competition."
