In the early morning of April 8, the players of Crane City University walked out of the hotel where they were staying, took the pre-booked bus, and went to the Xicheng University Gymnasium.
The red sun that has not yet fully climbed up, shines on the bus with its lazy and gentle sunlight, and immediately makes the people in the car feel a little warm.
Liu Xiaodong opened the car window and looked at the ancient city wall in the distance. Strong and square, towering majestically, it gives people a sense of firmness and dignity.
The blue bricks have been eroded by thousands of years of wind and rain, and the color is mixed with the deposited sauce yellow in the blue and black. The vicissitudes of history and the accumulation of thousands of years are a little sad.
Above these blue and black bricks, have you ever stopped the Han Wu Emperor’s gaze? Has Li Bai’s romantic and heroic shadow ever slide on it under the pink sunset? I think that the sisters of Concubine Yang were favored, riding jade flowers out of Chang’an City for an outing, and the attendants were like clouds and mist. Is the city gate we passed through the tall round archway we passed by?
At this time, Liu Xiaodong, while thinking about it, also raised a sense of sincere pride. Everything in front of him is the masterpiece of the descendants of China and is worthy of admiration.
The bus drove through Wengcheng, Kushiji’s tall modern skyscrapers and antique imperial palaces and towers were in harmony. The long and profound historical heritage and the flourishing modern atmosphere suddenly rushed in and gave birth to the players of Crane City University. A kind of shallow and small.
“When we win this game, I will take you around at my own expense!” Zhang Tiejun looked at the disciples with a knowing smile.
“Long live the coach!” Amidst the cheers of the players from Crane City University, the bus drove into this national key comprehensive research university.
The players stopped frolicking, got out of the car one after another, walked into the Xicheng University Gymnasium, ready to meet their challenges.
Liu Xiaodong sat on the seat of the visiting team’s locker room, constantly recalling the details of the tactics arranged by the coach in his mind, reminding himself not to make mistakes.
The time came to 8:30 in the morning. In the Xicheng University Gymnasium, the players of the two teams walked to their respective player passages and prepared to play in order.
The appearance ceremony of Xicheng University and the city Yixiang have strong cultural characteristics.
The red and yellow lights that represent the team were lit up in the sky above the arena, the city’s special gourmet oil splashes were played on the big screen, and the red high wall outside the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the red sacred place that records the history of the patriotic revolution.
Then the picture turned, the thick Guanzhong loess, the earth-yellow terracotta warriors and horses, the eighth wonder of the world, and the earth-yellow ancient city walls appeared on the screen in order.
In the center of the venue, under the shining of lights, an old man holding a teapot with a birdcage in his hand, watching the two old people at the stone table play chess, his expression is so leisurely and contented.
Banhu and pipa sounded, the voice was violent, and the ears were sour. The turbulent Qinqiang floated to the ears of the audience, making the originally noisy venue immediately quiet.
After enjoying a moment of relaxation, two soldiers wearing Qin armor, holding a black base in their hands, and writing a white small seal font with Qin characters, ran towards each other’s position.
The drums beat, and the performers on the field stepped on the drums and exited in an orderly manner.
The male host’s generous and powerful voice sounded, and the red and yellow lights shone on the players who played.
Luo Teng of the home team was the first to ran out of the player tunnel, came to the center of the field, and waved to the surrounding fans. The audience stood up excitedly, applauded and shouted to the pride in their hearts. Immediately afterwards, other West Side University players rushed out and received a lot of cheers.
When it was Tsurujo University’s turn to play, the court became quiet, and occasionally polite applause rang out.
In the commentary seat, the Sports Channel specially arranged two commentators, which is enough to see how much CCTV attaches importance to the round of 16.
Huang Guanyong looked at the starting lists of both sides, and explained first: “The level of Crane City University is obviously below Xicheng University. I think even if Luo Teng does not play, Xicheng University can easily win!”
“The game is not a comparison of strengths on the books. Hecheng University’s ability to reach the top 16 has proved that they are unique.” Zhang Wei said with a serious expression.
“Director Zhang, do you think Crane City University can win? What does it rely on? Is that newcomer Liu Xiaodong?” Huang Guanyong asked slightly jokingly. He had watched relevant game videos of Crane City University before the game, although Liu Xiaodong had physical talent. It’s very hot, but it cannot be denied that the overall strength of Xicheng University is stronger, one level higher than that of Crane City University. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is also because of this, he dare to believe that Crane City University will definitely lose this promotion game.
“We have to believe that everything is possible!” Zhang Wei smiled and said Li Ning’s advertisement.
Liu Xiaodong was moving a little stiff body. He didn’t know why. He felt that his state was a little bad today, so he took another three-pointer and he still bounced out of the box.
“Xiaodong, don’t forget that we are behind you, don’t put too much pressure on yourself!” Liu Mu and Guo Cheng walked over and patted Liu Xiaodong’s shoulder with relief.
With the sound of a huge electronic buzzer, the players on both sides began to stand.
Xicheng University starting: point guard Zheng Tao, shooting guard Luo Teng, small forward Zhu Qi, power forward Lu Peng, center Kong Xianglong.
Crane City University starting: point guard Guo Cheng, shooting guard Liu Xiaodong, small forward Qian Ning, power forward Zhou Jie, center Liu Mu.
Coach Zhang Tiejun arranged for Zhou Jie to start, which is also the pre-arranged Tian Ji horse racing strategy. In the last game, Zhou Jie’s good performance on the bench made Zhang Tiejun feel relieved to leave Zhu Zihua off the court. When the main team rested, he arranged for Zhu Zihua and Hou Wei to lead the bench to chase points.
After all, it is obvious that the main force of Crane City University is not dominant. Zhang Tiejun doesn’t want to put his eggs in a basket.
Liu Xiaodong looked at a strong defender wearing a red and yellow No. 7 jersey with small eyes and pimples. He was the opponent he wanted to defeat!
“What are you looking at! I will blow you up in a while!” Luo Teng was very sensitive to Liu Xiaodong’s gaze, and he unconsciously touched his nose and shouted.
“Don’t mind, he was troubled by puberty. Didn’t you see the acne on his face!” Seeing Liu Xiaodong wanted to step forward to fight back, Guo Cheng hurried to Liu Xiaodong to whisper a few words before raising his anger. Liu Xiaodong calmed down.
