On August 6, four teams that reached the national finals, after a day of rest yesterday, finally ushered in the first game of the North-South Championship today!

In the basketball hall in the central Beijing city, at 8 o'clock in the morning, people from all over the country who came to visit the game were lined up early.

Although the National Finals entered the stadium with tickets and there was no need to queue up, people still arrived half an hour in advance, which shows their expectations for this game.

At half past eight, the door opened and the audience began to enter the court in an orderly manner. On the other side, the participating teams and players had exclusive access to the locker room and the arena.

Although they did not have the games in the morning, they were not as qualified as the top four teams.

Moreover, when they compete with Tsinghua High School and Nanmo High School, they can still have exclusive positions to sit on the sidelines, which is better than the first row position in the audience.

At about nine o'clock, tens of thousands of spectators were all seated. The players from Tsinghua High School and Nanmo High School on the court below also changed their jerseys and entered the court one after another.

There are twenty minutes of warm-up time for the two teams, and then there will be ten minutes of venue review and admission introduction.

It can be seen that both teams were in good shape when they warmed up, and each player was ready to come with twelve points.

Halfway through the warm-up, Cai Xu also found Ji Xuan and whispered, "This time, I will definitely defeat you!"

When Ji Xuan heard this, he just smiled and replied, "If you have that ability, just come on!"

Before the game started, the smell of gunpowder spread on the court. In the last two minutes of warm-up, Cai Xu made an empty slam dunk and showed off his first.

Of course, the Tsinghua High School will not show weakness, but Ji Xuan didn't need to take action and threw the ball casually, and Wang Jinze rushed up.

Bang-!

My right hand received the ball in the air. During the gliding process, I actually changed hands under my crotch, clang-! Dunk in!

Although such "fighting" is of little significance to the formal competition, it can mobilize the atmosphere of the audience, and cheers suddenly sounded from the audience around.

After the two teams showed each other a few times, the warm-up ended. The players on both sides returned to the rest area. The two large screens on the east and west walls lit up, and the two professional commentators began to introduce the entry.

The two commentators, one man and one woman, were both wearing professional clothes and speaking fluent and pleasant Mandarin.

After they introduced themselves, they immediately got to the point, the male commentator said;

"First of all, let us warmly welcome the five starters of the Tsinghua High School team in Beijing, Beijing!"

"In previous North-South Championships, Tsinghua High School should be the team we are most familiar with. They have won six national championships in the 16th North-South Championships!"

"Last year and the previous year, they were defending champions for two consecutive times! It is said that their goal this year is to achieve an unprecedented three consecutive championships! If they can be completed, they will achieve a legend in the North-South Championship!"

"Now we can see that the five starting players from Tsinghua High School have arrived on the court. They are wearing yellow jerseys, respectively."

"No. 9, captain, Ji Xuan, position guard swinger, and has the title of rhythm master!"

"No. 10, Wang Jinze, the positional shooting guard, has the title of Scoring Superman!"

"No. 12, Zhang Housheng, a small forward, has the title of the strongest outside line!"

"No. 14, Li Bin, position power forward, has the title of Spring Giant!"

"No. 16, Liu Peng, the center, has the title of inside emperor!"

Every time a player is introduced, there will be a lot of excitement and cheers in the audience, especially Ji Xuan, who is the highest in the audience.

After introducing Tsinghua High School, it was the turn of Nanmo High School to introduce Nanmo High School, and the female commentator began to say;

"Next, let us use the same enthusiasm to welcome the five starting players of the Haishang Yangnan Model Middle School to the court!"

"I believe everyone knows them very well and is also a regular visitor in the North-South Championship. They are wearing white jerseys, respectively."

"No. 10, Captain, Cai Xu, the position guard swinger, has the title of all-around ace!"

"6 Haha, Lu Ziliang, the positional shooting guard, has the title of back of the iron wall!"

"No. 4, Zhou Kai, position point guard, has the title of "Magic Hands"!"

"No. 12, Qian Kang, position power forward, has the title of inside barrier!"

"No. 16, Shi An, the center, has the title of overlord under the basket!"

When introducing the Nanmo High School team, the shouts in the audience were obviously a few points smaller than when introducing Tsinghua High School.

People are definitely inclined to support strong teams, which is why every team wants to go higher and farther.

At this point, the starters of both teams have been introduced. It was just half past nine, and the referee took the ball and came to the center of the center circle.

Liu Peng from Tsinghua High School and Shi An from Nanmo High School stood on both sides, waiting for the ball to jump.

These two big guys stood together, making the referee in the middle look very "petty". Moreover, Shi An, who is 2.05 meters tall, is still half a head shorter than Liu Peng who is 2.12.5 meters tall.

Whoosh-!

The basketball was thrown high and reached its highest point, the "big figures" on both sides instantly rose up.

After throwing the ball, the referee quickly retreated. Even so, as the two of them jumped up, he still felt two winds collide with each other, and the squeeze feeling came towards him!

Bang-!

With a loud bang, Liu Peng caught the ball first. There was no suspense. Tsinghua High School got the first ball right. The players passed the ball skillfully and tacitly for several rounds, and the ball was soon passed to Ji Xuan.

Seeing Ji Xuan take the ball, Cai Xu quickly defended it, which was completely different from when he participated in the North District Inter-provincial Competition. He started to play 100% of his energy and used all his strength.

After Ji Xuan held the ball, he did not immediately rush to attack, but said with a faint smile;

"I feel that you have also opened the ultimate limit. It's pretty good to be able to do this in a year."

Cai Xu smiled seriously and replied with a serious attitude: "My efforts this year are all to defeat you!"

"I have been waiting for this day for too long, Ji Xuan! Be prepared to welcome your first failure!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Xu, as the defensive, took the lead in taking action. He wanted to take action first before Ji Xuan launched an attack and steal the ball!

However, Cai Xu used all his strength and was so fast that he could only grab a ball of air.

Swish—!

A sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and Ji Xuan moved! At that moment, people seemed to see afterimages left behind him!

Bang, wow, bang—!

With a clean and neat change, Ji Xuan broke through Cai Xu so easily!
Chapter completed!
