Chapter 177 - South Semi-Finals

High School Affiliated to Shanghai University, basketball hall.

A teenager is training on the court, but he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he is tall with long arms, he is nearly 1.9-meter tall, his arms are bulging, and his physical fitness is very good. He saw him grab the basketball and do a cross step, then suddenly changed direction and accelerated, rushing out like an arrow, extremely fast, rushed to the basket in two steps, jumped up, paused in the air, changed hands, and scored with the lever.

The movements are gorgeous and extremely skilled.

"Feiyu, still practicing."

A voice came, and the teenager turned his head and smiled: "Captain, why did you come so early today? It's not training time yet."

The person here is called Shen An, a player from the Shanghai University High School, who serves as a power forward. He is also the captain of the team in his third year of high school. He smiled gently and said, "Didn't you came earlier than me."

The teenager grinned.

Shen An looked at this junior high school student with admiration in his eyes.

The young man's name is Ni Feiyu, who is only a freshman this year, but he is extremely talented. With a height of nearly 1.9 meters, he usually serves as a small forward in high school leagues, but he is playing shooting guard because his scoring ability is too outstanding.

With his explosive physical fitness and rich scoring skills, it seems that he is born a "scoring machine". Only when he is placed in the position of a shooting guard can his talent be fully utilized.

In fact, Ni Feiyu was already well-known when he was in junior high school. The Shanghai University Affiliated Middle School also took a lot of effort to recruit him. In addition, the Shanghai University Affiliated Middle School itself is a subordinate school of Shanghai University. The principal personally promised that Ni Feiyu can be sent to Shanghai University in the future. Ni Feiyu was recruited to the High School Affiliated to later play in Shanghai University.

After joining the team, Ni Feiyu quickly gained recognition from his teammates with his outstanding ability.

From the city league and the provincial league all the way, his progress is obvious to all. He has gradually transformed from a role player into a core player of the team.

After the group stage, Ni Feiyu became a key figure in the High School Affiliated to Shanghai University in a few games. He always stood up and scored at critical moments.

Without Ni Feiyu, the High School Affiliated to Shanghai University would not qualify for the semi-finals.

It's a pity that the game against Yushi Chenqiao No. 9 Middle School was still lost. Chen Qiao No. 9 Middle School is indeed strong, no, it should be said that it is very strong.

Although he lost that game, Ni Feiyu's performance was still amazing. He scored 23 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist. He was the only person in the Shanghai University High School to score 20.

Everyone envied that Ni Feiyu had such strength and such achievements in his first year of high school, but only Shen An and others knew that, in addition to his talent, Ni Feiyu had also made unimaginable efforts.

"Captain." Ni Feiyu realized that the captain's mood was a bit wrong today, so he couldn't help asking: "What happened to you today?"

"It's okay." Shen An smiled and said: "Feiyu, soon we will usher in the semi-finals of the Southern District and will face Yuyang Seventh Middle School. This is a knockout. Do you have any confidence?"

"Of course." Ni Feiyu replied immediately.

Shen An said: "Yuyang Seventh Middle School is not easy to deal with. They are very strong. It can be seen that they can win four games in the group stage. Moreover, Qin Hao, Jiang Feng and others in their team are very strong, especially Qin. Hao, in the group stage he averaged more than 20 points. Ha ha, it's a coincidence, he is also a freshman in high school, just like you."

"Yuyang Seventh Middle School is very strong, but we are not weak." Ni Feiyu raised his eyebrows, his eyes burst into war, "As for Qin Hao, I look forward to defeating him."

In order to increase his persuasion, Ni Feiyu hugged the basketball and rushed to the basket in two steps, which led to a dunk.

Shen An laughed. He was also looking forward to the match between Ni Feiyu and Qin Hao. Now the outside world calls this game the "Southern Rookie King's Title Battle".

Because both Qin Hao and Ni Feiyu played very well in the group stage, and both were freshman high school players, so both of them were dubbed the title of "Rookie King".

But there is only one "Rookie King".

Therefore, the upcoming game is regarded by many as a "Rookie King Title Battle".

Whoever wins is the Rookie King of the Southern District!

...

Yuyang Seventh Middle School.

A group of players from Yuyang Seventh Middle School are also talking about the next semi-finals. Jiang Fangping has obtained the information of the Shanghai University High School and introduced the players.

Ni Feiyu of the Shanghai University High School is the person who has the focus in his introduction. The players in Yuyang Seventh Middle School naturally noticed that Ni Feiyu is also a high-grade player, just like Qin Hao, Jiang Feng and Wang Lei.

"Qin Hao, this Ni Feiyu is also a freshman, and it seems that he is very strong."

"How about it, do you have the confidence to beat him? I see in the forums of the high school leagues, many people regard your duel with Ni Feiyu as a 'Southern Rookie King's Title Fight'."

"Although Ni Feiyu is only a freshman, he is the trump card of the Shanghai University High School. As long as you can suppress him, it will be much easier to beat the Shanghai University High School."

Everyone looked at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao chuckled and said indifferently: "What is the Rookie King Title Battle, it's just a group of people who are idle and have nothing to do creating this nonsense, I don't care. As for the upcoming game, you can play whatever you want. This is a game, not a personal one. Our goal is always winning first."

"So boring."

"that is."

Everyone is very booing.

Qin Hao curled his lips, I also want to look good, but what's the point of competing with a young man, and also "the Rookie King of the Southern District", thinking I can look good?

Whoever loves to be just that, is free to go fight for it.

...

A few days later.

Southern Province, Provincial Gymnasium.

Because Yuyang Seventh Middle School is the first in Group B, the group stage results are better than Shanghai University Affiliated Middle School, so it has the home court advantage. The game against Shanghai University Affiliated Middle School will be held in Southern Province.

This is also another benefit of being the number one in the group.

When the players from the Shanghai University High School came to the stadium, there was an overwhelming boo, like a wave, to drown them.

Almost all the fans in the audience are Yuyang Seventh Middle School fans, including Yuyang Seventh Middle School students, teachers, players' parents, and some social fans.

Seeing the players from Shanghai University Affiliated High School play, of course they won't give them much hospitality.

A group of players from Shanghai University High School couldn't help but frown, but it was not the first time that they had seen this kind of scene, and they quickly calmed down.

At this time, the players from Yuyang Seventh Middle School also came.

Generally, the home team will be the last to play, which means "the finale".

When the players from Yuyang Seventh Middle School warmed up, cheers rang out from the audience. The fans waved their homemade flags and slogans, shouting the names of the players to cheer for them.

Under the order of the principal of Yuyang Seventh Middle School, the school also organized a cheerleading team. A group of girls dressed in uniforms cheered for the Yuyang Seventh Middle School players.

This is a bit beyond the expectations of the players in Yuyang Seventh Middle School. The group of cheerleaders can be described as colorful, each with its own merits, and the eyes of Fu Qiang, Zhao Hai and others are straight.

Qin Hao just took a look, and Jiang Xue's voice came from behind him: "You are not allowed to look at it. Humph, don't the flowers of this school look good?"

"..." Qin Hao was speechless.
