Chapter 20: Sweep the group stage

　　 Soon, the campus of No. 9 Middle School returned to calm. Everyone will not always pay attention to one thing, except for learning.
　　 The basketball team, including An Luo, spent every day in the roar of Liao Ning. However, their growth is very optimistic. In particular, Anluo's promotion has given everyone confidence that this year, the Ninth Middle School will go far, far.
　　 In this month, everyone has made great progress. Especially Sun Li, his talent should be the best in this school team. After two months of systematic training, his strength has also improved by leaps and bounds. All kinds of back-to-basket and face-to-face offensive methods, footsteps, etc., are already very skilled. No longer like when he first joined the school team, he is a jumping man who can only grab rebounds and eat cakes.
　　 also can't help him stay strong. There is no such a good player who can feed him in the ninth middle school. If you want to play good data, you can only rely on yourself.
　　 On December 7th, the Sichuan Provincial High School Men’s Basketball League began. A total of 128 teams from all urban areas of the province gathered in the capital for a month of competition. The competition system of the league is the same as that of the city competition, which is divided into two stages: group stage and knockout stage. But the group stage is a bit different. The city group stage has only one round, while the provincial stage is divided into two rounds. The first round of the group stage is divided into sixteen groups, each with eight teams, and the teams with the top two points in the final score enter the second round of the group stage. The competition venues are arranged in major universities in the city of Shu, such as Sichuan University, University of Electronic Science and Technology, Nanjing University, Jiaotong University, Sichuan Normal University and so on. The Ninth Middle School was divided into Group E after a lottery, and all seven group matches were held at Southwest Petroleum University.
　　 In the first round of the group stage, he experienced the baptism of the city match and was almost at home in the Shudu No.9 Middle School. With strong strength, he swept the other teams in the same group and showed the momentum of the city championship.
　　 In the first two games, because Liao Ning was not sure of the actual combat ability of his team, he went all out in the formation. An Luo and Sun Li, who have fully released their energy, are inside and outside, and they can be described as taking and taking on the offensive end. Especially An Luo's three-pointers and backward jumpers made those two teams almost impossible to defend.
　　 Both games were won by big scores, Anluo 26 in one game, 21 in one game; Sun Li 18+11 in one game and 15+13 in one game. The data is so luxurious that all the coaches are envious of Liao Ning. With such a core combination, what kind of cards are not easy to match? Let them play in person to win. Besides, the other players in the Ninth Middle School are not weak, especially the defense, which made all teams suffer.
　　 Those teams that have played inextricably with Nine Middle School are also quite fortunate. After a month's rest, the team's strength has risen a lot. If I had encountered this version of Nine High School, I would definitely be beaten even worse.
　　 In the next five games, Liao Ning started training. He limited An Luo's playing time to fifteen minutes per game. In the rest of the time, Sun Li led a group of defensive fighters to compete with his opponents one by one. Although the Ninth Middle School has basically won victory through offense all the way to the present, deep down in Liao Ning's heart, he still likes defense.
　　 An Luo felt very hurt. He tasted the sweetness of the points brought by those personal awards, so he cared about personal data. However, you still have to listen to the coach in the team, otherwise you may not have 15 minutes of playing time per game now.
　　 As long as the mind does not slip, there are more solutions than difficulties. Although the time has been compressed, there is no limit to the right to shoot. In the remaining few games, An Luo showed strong offensive desire, and the number of three-pointers and mid-range shots increased dramatically. Thanks to the stability of Anluo's shooting, his scoring average per game increased instead of falling. In almost every game he went out of the game, and his nine leading scores were in double digits.
　　 In seven group games, An Luo averaged 19.4 minutes, scoring 24.5 points, 1.2 assists, and 1.3 rebounds. Throughout the provincial group stage, Anluo is not a player with good statistics, but he is absolutely amazing. After all, this was played in less than twenty minutes of playing time. If you let go of the play, the statistics may make people feel abnormal.
　　 An Luo also spread in the basketball circles of Sichuan Province. Especially those CUBA league teams have begun to pay attention to him.
　　 A week later, the first round of the provincial group stage officially ended, and Shudu No. 9 Middle School entered the second stage with a record of victory. Although it was a win in the city competition, the feeling of playing in the provincial competition in the ninth middle school is easier than playing in the city competition! Surprising.
　　 Next, the thirty-two teams that qualify will be divided into eight groups for the second stage of the group stage. The top two teams still qualify, enter the knockout round, and compete for the final championship.
　　 The second round is more difficult than the first round, but it is only a little bit more difficult. However, Liao Ning no longer limits An Luo's playing time, which makes him very happy. He not only wants to win the championship, but also the MVP. He estimated that the provincial competition should have more points than the city competition! It's a rare opportunity to earn points, An Luo doesn't want to miss it.
　　 In the second week of the league, the Nine Middle School moved to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. There, it took them six days to finish three games, which was a lot easier than the first stage every day. Liao Ning has only one request to qualify as the group leader and get the initiative to draw lots. To be on the safe side, he didn't want to meet those real strong teams in the first place. After all, we still have to get tickets to the national league first.
　　 People like An Luo did not let him down either. They continued the state of the first stage of the group stage, winning three consecutive games and advancing into the knockout round.
　　 But there are still some problems. In the Fucheng experiment, Sun Li was locked in this point. The opponent is also a strong defensive team, especially the defense against Sun Li, doing well. As long as they have the ball in Ninth Middle School, they will move forward, and the defender will stand between Sun Li and the ball, preventing him from receiving the ball, and then preventing him from cooperating with the others in Nine Middle School. As long as it is the ball in the Fucheng experiment, they will do their best to push Sun Li out of the three-second zone. The whole game was accompanied by countless small movements, which made Sun Li miserable.
　　 Although I won in the end, it was not easy to win. If it weren't for Anluo's super-shen play, the outcome might be unpredictable.
　　 Anyway, An Luo also has problems. Through so many games, anyone can find that An Luo does not like to attack the inside. Many times his tentative step has passed the defender, and he still chooses to score a jumper. Although the shooting percentage is very good, but where is the safe way to score inside the basket! Also, the connection between him and his teammates is almost one-sided. It turned out that he would occasionally connect with his teammates during the city game. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is completely invisible now. As soon as the ball reached his hand, Liao Ning felt that he was playing too alone; on the other hand, he found that An Luo’s overall view of the game was still too poor to see where his teammates were; Luo's ability to serve the ball is also very poor. Therefore, Liao Ning is very worried that if the other party has thoroughly studied it, he will decisively give up other people and double-team two or even three people. Once that happens, his offense with the ball will be completely restricted. Fortunately, Anluo's off-ball is unsolvable and can guarantee firepower output.
　　 Of course, other people have some problems more or less, but they are all on the offensive end collectively. In Liao Ning's view, it is harmless, as long as there are no problems on the defensive end.
　　 After the group stage, there will be a three-day break. But for each team, it is impossible to rest.
　　 is the so-called: knowing oneself and knowing the skin will never fail. After the draw, each team will carefully study the next opponent. Study their tactical arrangements, study the technical characteristics of their core players, study the coaching style of their coaches... so that they can make targeted adjustments and deployments.
　　 Knockouts are cruel. If a group match is not played well, there may be a chance to make up for it. But in the knockout rounds, the loss ends here, and we will fight again next year. So everyone will go all out. Those strong teams may stay in the group stage and hide some things, but in the knockout stage, if they are still hiding, they may hide until next year.
　　 Ninth Middle School is the same. Liao Ning pointed out the problems he found straightforwardly and let everyone know. The tactical arrangement has not been adjusted much. The opponents in the first round of the elimination round are not strong, as long as they can exert their normal strength.
　　 He put more thoughts into the second round of the game. He wants to lead the team to the semi-finals and participate in the national league.
