Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Three days later, the first round of the Indiana State League came to an end, and all the top 16 teams were released.

Then the seed sorting results came out.

St. Joseph's High School ranked 12th for the twelfth seed.

This ranking is not high, but since St. Joseph High School ranked eighth in the South Bend League last year, the background is too poor, so this ranking is not surprising.

It's just that after entering the top sixteen, the 16-to-8 game is sorted by seed and cross-eliminated, that is to say, the No. 1 seed vs. No. 16 seed, No. 2 seed vs. No. 15 seed... and so on. Joseph High School ranked No. 12 and will face the No. 5 seed.

Indiana No. 5 seed, Marion High School.

This team is not a weak team. They won the Indiana State League three-peat from 1985 to 1987. Although times have changed, two decades later, Marion High School is no longer the three-peat team. But in the past few years, they have been regulars in the state league.

Last season, Marion High School entered the state league as the league champion, and finally reached the quarterfinals and fell in an 8-for-4 game.

Their comeback this year is definitely not to be underestimated, and being listed as the No. 5 seed is enough to say a lot in itself.

On this day, the St. Joseph High School basketball team boarded the bus and rushed to the away game. They will challenge their opponents away at Marion High School.

Marion High School, basketball arena.

The auditorium was full, not only the fans of Marion High School, but also many fans of St. Joseph High School. In order to support St. Joseph High School, many fans traveled long distances and drove for several hours to Marion High School.

Some students choose to take the bus, or simply charter a car.

Elliott and a few classmates chartered a car to Marion High School. They found a front seat next to a group of girls. Naturally Elliott didn’t know them, but they knew Elliott and took the initiative to meet him. Elliott greeted: "Hi, Elliott, you're here too."

"Elliott, do you remember me?"

Fortunately, Elliot is a school tyrant after all, and has a good memory. He quickly remembered that these girls were all Qin Hao's suitors, and even came to the dormitory to find Qin Hao.

Because every time he encounters such a situation, Qin Hao asks Elliott to deal with it.

Of course it's not because Elliot is good at it, but because he's not good at it. If he can't talk to a girl, he will be cold. It's good to use it as a shield.

So almost all of these girls knew Elliott.

"Yeah." Elliot's expression was calm, he just responded, and then he looked at the court, making several classmates who came with him roll their eyes.

What kind of brain is this?

What a great opportunity, let's go up and have a chat and exchange phone numbers.

Others pushed Elliott aside to get close, but they were closed.

These girls are all aimed at Qin Hao. Although Elliott is a good-minded student, he is sometimes quite cute, at least not annoying, but to other flies, they don't have a good face.

"Oh, what a pity."

"It's Qin's fault. The girls in the school are staring at him now, and we don't have a chance."

"Elliott, you are... a waste of resources!"

A group of people were discussing, and the noise sounded.

On the court, Qin Hao and others came out behind Frank, and a few people who scolded Elliott suddenly stood up and cheered loudly.

A few girls even held up the sign they had prepared for a long time. Qin Hao's name was written on it with lipstick. They also drew this big "love" and began to cheer for Qin Hao loudly.

In the back of the auditorium, Novak and George sat together.

"The players from St. Joseph's High School have appeared, and Qin's popularity is very high." Novak said, "He definitely has no shortage of girlfriends."

George rolled his eyes and didn't want to sit with Novak, but Novak insisted on sticking it over, and he was helpless.

Looking at the court, George's eyes swept over the players of St. Joseph's High School and said to himself, "I'm afraid this game will be difficult to play today. Qin is very strong, but the others are not strong enough."

This game is a quarterfinal match, and St. Joseph High School is a focus team, so it attracts a lot of fans, and it also attracts a lot of scouts.

Not only Novak and George, but also several other scouts came to the scene, George recognized one, but because of his character, he would not take the initiative to say hello.

There is no doubt that most of these people came for Qin Hao.

For a time, George felt threatened, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he started early. Not only did he meet Qin Hao, but he also exchanged contact information and seized the opportunity.

Thinking of this, George glanced at Novak sympathetically.

As far as he knew, this guy also went to St. Joseph's High School, but he didn't even see Qin Hao, and was stopped by Frank.

In fact, it's not just Novak. After that, several people found St. Joseph's High School. Some even wanted to contact Qin Hao privately. They were coaches of another high school and wanted to poach people.

In the end, none of these people succeeded, and they ate behind closed doors, not even seeing Qin Hao.

......

After a while, the home players also played.

There was another burst of cheers and screams, and the entire arena was full of noise. A group of Marion High School players strode proudly, facing Qin Hao and others.

The players on both sides looked at each other, pointed at Maimang, and refused to give in to each other.

"That guy is Qin?"

"Well, that's him. The last time they played against St. Laurent High School, Qin hit 9 three-pointers and scored 35 points. He was really strong."

"Hmph, how strong is it? I heard that there was a problem with the coach of St. Laurent High School. In the first three quarters, he had been single-defense. It would have been right to double-team him earlier."

"Okay, anyway, you have to be careful when you wait."

Several players from Marion High School were discussing, and they were all looking at Qin Hao, their eyes flashing with cold light, and they all regarded Qin Hao as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh.

After a warm-up, the two sides returned to the sidelines.

Frank said: "The opponent's inside line is very strong. We have to shrink the defense line later. We can't let the opponent's inside line take the ball in a low position and play singles. We must pay attention to assist defense."

"As for the offense, Qin will create opportunities for both of you, and be firm with me. I must score the goals that should be scored."

In fact, the strongest point of Marion High School is on the perimeter. The point guard Morrie is the ace player of Marion High School. Morrie, who is 188cm tall, has excellent physical fitness, sharp breakthroughs, accurate shots, inside and outside, and excellent organizational skills. good.

But unfortunately, he happened to be directly opposite Qin Hao.

So Frank is not worried about Murray, but only about the inside line. Marion High School's inside line strength is also very strong. Center Jonathan, power forward Wells, the strength is above Douglas and Terry.

"Yes."

"clear."

Several players responded.

Frank clapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay, get ready to play. Remember, this is the knockout round, so give me a little more ferocity."

[Author's digression]: Some readers and friends said that Qin Hao's teammates are too weak. I actually explained earlier that a strong team will not accept the package package of Frank + Qin Hao, and there is a reason why I wrote this way. Yes, look it up and see...
