On Thursday morning, July 16, after the players from Deming High School gathered, more than half of them looked in poor condition.

All day yesterday, they were followed by reporters, and they couldn't even train well when they arrived at the stadium.

Another part of the reason is that some players are worried about today's game. The most obvious one is Cheng Fei, who is still full of words "worry" on his face until now.

But this cannot be blamed on them. After all, Deming High School has paid too much from the inter-provincial competition to this point, and it is not easy along the way.

Conversely, the same is true for other teams, just like their opponent today, Yangmian Middle School in Sichuan Province, which is also a dark horse team that has emerged this year!

Although Yangmian Middle School did not have many opportunities to enter the inter-provincial competition in previous years, their strength in the first few games this year was not weak.

The most important thing is that the main players of Yangmian Middle School can still play games, while the captain Li Gangjian and Hua Mudao, who opened the limit lock in the last game against Nanmo High School, had to rest for three days and could not play today.

Li Gangjian and Huamudao are two major players in the inside line in the Deming High School team.

Such a situation occurs, as if a war is imminent. Before the war begins, Deming High School has lost half of the country!

This shows how important the inside is in basketball games. No matter how strong the outside is, it is hard to say that the inside is not needed.

But no matter how worried I am, what should be coming will always come. Since there are only six teams left, the fifth round will be played at the same time in the morning.

When entering the gymnasium, Deming High School met Shachang No. 9 Middle School. Both teams were from Nanhu Province. They felt very friendly at this time.

Today, Shachang No. 9 Lieutenant General faces the biggest challenge, fighting against the Ocean List Yangnan Model Middle School!

Coach Wang Peng said half-jokingly, half-seriously: "Wait for our good news, I will definitely get the venue back for our Nanhu Province!"

Wen Jing smiled and said, "Okay, then you have to work hard. If you really win Nanmo High School, Wang Peng, have you been asking me for dinner all the time? I might be able to consider it when the time comes."

Hearing this, Wang Peng suddenly felt excited and turned to the players and said, "Did you hear it all! For the happiness of your coach! You must work hard today! If you win, I will treat you to a big meal!"

Huang Dong said to Ren Shan: "They are a group of very powerful guys, but I still hope you can win and fight well!"

Ren Shan replied: "I know without saying it. You don't need to worry about us. You must fight well. If you lose, it will be dangerous."

Li Gangjian said to Tian: "When fighting Shi An, use more skills, don't just be tough, he is a rare person with a height and physique stronger than you..."

Yu Tian replied: "Okay... I'm a little uncomfortable with talking to me like this. Please take care of yourself first. If there is no accident in this situation, we will meet you later!"

The two teams said a few words to each other, then they went into the respective locker rooms of the basketball court, changed their clothes and prepared to enter the venue.

The match between Deming High School and Yangmian Middle School was still in the stadium in the southeast area. Twenty minutes before the game officially started, both teams had already entered the court to warm up.

Cheng Fei had already untied the rest area, tied it, untied it again, tied it again, and tied it again. He tied the shoelaces more than a dozen times in a cycle, but he had not been on the stage to warm up.

The nervousness made him always feel that his shoelaces were not tied tightly, which is a typical manifestation of lack of confidence.

Until Wen Jing came to him, squatted down and stretched out her hands, and said while helping him tie his shoelaces;

"Cheng Fei, do you know that you are actually a very promising player. I have been extremely sure since the first day I came to Deming High School."

"I understand that the emergence of Huamudao and the emergence of more and more powerful enemies in the inter-provincial competition have made you feel self-doubted at one time."

"Of course, there is my fault. In the inter-provincial competition, Huamudao performed well, so I gave him more time to play and you had fewer chances to play, which made you feel that you didn't match the level of the inter-provincial competition."

Speaking of this, Wen Jing had already helped Cheng Fei tie the shoelaces of both shoes, then stood up and said with a smile;

"But I want to tell you that you are no worse than anyone else, and your position on the team is irreplaceable."

"Although you are not as tough as Li Gangjian and as talented as Hua Mudao, you have your advantage, that is, you are steady and down-to-earth, and able to better cooperate with your teammates."

"You can always create opportunities for your teammates at the most appropriate time, and they will feel at ease with you under the basket."

"If you don't compete or compete in the team, it doesn't mean you are not strong. As long as you get serious, you will be the pillar of the team!"

"Now, it's the time when the team needs you. Cheng Fei, I don't think as a coach, but as a member of the basketball department. Just like you, I'll ask you formally, can we rely on you in this game?"

Hearing this, Cheng Fei's whole body was shocked, and the confusion and uneasiness in his eyes quickly subsided, replaced by a firmness that he had never felt before.

Swish—!

Cheng Fei stood up with his fists tightly clenched and said word by word: "I can coach! In this game! I will fight to protect the inside for the team!!"

After more than ten minutes, with a whistle, the fifth round of the inter-provincial competition is about to officially begin!

The five players who started Deming High School are;

No. 12 jersey, No. 5 center, Cheng Fei! (height 1.92 meters, weight 93 kg)

No. 9 jersey, No. 4 power forward, Hao Wenqi! (height 1.87 meters, weight 82 kg)

No. 11 jersey, No. 3 small forward, Huang Dong! (height 1.82 meters, weight 72 kg)

No. 7 jersey, No. 2 shooting guard, Takagi! (height 1.85 meters, weight 81 kg)

No. 5 jersey, No. 1 point guard, Hu Xu! (height 1.75 meters, weight 70 kg)

Among them, Cheng Fei walked in the front and led the team to shout, "Deming!! "

The players behind shouted in unison; "Deming!!! Xiongqi!!!"

At the Yangmian Middle School, when I saw Deming High School with such a high momentum, my expression flashed for a moment. After all, the last game between Deming High School and Nanmo High School is still fresh in my memory.

Being able to fight with Nanmo High School, the "overlord" of the southern district, is a great deterrent. It is impossible to say that Yangmian Middle School is not worried at all.

But fortunately, their captain is also a person who can stabilize the overall situation and said to the players in a deep voice;

"Don't be afraid! Looking at their lineup and the match against Nanmo High School, there was a total reshuffle!"
Chapter completed!
