Slam Dunk: Noon Sunshine

Chapter 96 Deploying Tactics

Seeing Akagi fell to the ground, the chubby coach Anxi stood up immediately.

The referee also stopped the game, and Akagi was helped off the field and went to the infirmary.

Akagi was injured, not only the players on the field were uneasy, but even the audience was talking about it.

It is rare for a cross-country person to have a dignified expression: "Takasago did it on purpose!"

For a while, no one spoke up. Although everyone was a little skeptical, no one was willing to stand up for this method of labeling people without evidence.

Even Yuzu, who played against Takasago last time, was uncharacteristically quiet. Although he knew in his heart that Takasago was a somewhat despicable guy, he really didn't want to admit that this guy was at the same level as himself.

It's a scum with black feet!

Even Wang Zhengyang, who has the most experience, didn't see whether Gao Sha did it on purpose.

Maybe Gao Sha's acting skills are too good, maybe he really didn't mean it.

You must know that although Wang Zhengyang in the player era was based on desperate defense, he never made actions at the expense of hurting the opponent's body.

At most, it's just talking trash, using some small moves that the referees can't notice, mainly to disturb the opponent's mentality.

Of course, although he can't do anything wrong, if there is a conflict, Wang Zhengyang is still willing to use his fists to teach the opponent how to behave.

As the saying goes, I have never been counseled by swearing, and I have never lost a fight!

Although Akagi was injured, the game still had to continue, and Daisuke Hirakawa replaced him.

The inside line composed of Daisuke Hirakawa + Sakuragi seems to still maintain the advantage of height, but everyone understands that the two of them together are not as good as Akagi.

Sure enough, when the game restarted, A Mu began to attack the inside line. Although Daisuke Hirakawa also had a height of 1.9 meters, he couldn't stop Mu's impact at all.

He was knocked away by a tank-style layup, and Mu steadily sent the basketball into the basket.

"Hmm!" Rubbing his aching chest, Daisuke Hirakawa looked at Mu's back helplessly.

Mu's strong impact reminded him of a person, and that was Wang Zhengyang!

But that was Wang Zhengyang in middle school. At that time, Wang Zhengyang, who was less than 1.7 meters tall, had particularly strong muscles all over his body.

Every time I confronted myself, I bumped into myself like a little jeep, and the current Mu gave Daisuke Hirakawa the feeling of an enhanced version of Wang Zhengyang.

The taste, the impact, is quite unpleasant!

But now that Wang Zhengyang has grown taller, his body has become a little thinner, probably because his nutrition has not kept up!

Thin and tall, like a bamboo pole!

Although Momoki easily scored two points, Daisuke Hirakawa took advantage of Takasago's inflexible footwork and hit a three-pointer from the outside.

In the next 2 minutes, both teams fell into a scoring drought, and the entire first half was over.

Hainan 52:53 Xiangbei.

Xiangbei temporarily leads Hainan with a slight advantage, but everyone understands that Akagi's return is the key to determining the outcome!

Intermission, away team locker room.

The atmosphere was very dull, and even Sakuragi, who had always been escaping, sat quietly in his seat at this moment.

The main players were gasping for air, recovering their strength and unwilling to speak.Substitute players are even more cautious, for fear of attracting attention.

With a "creak", the door of the locker room was pushed open, and everyone looked at it expectantly for a moment.

I saw Coach Anxi's chubby body squeezed in from the door. Seeing that it was Coach Anxi, everyone still looked behind him, imagining a man who looked like a gorilla appearing with his chest patted.

Unfortunately, after Coach Anxi came in, the door was never opened again.

After scanning the situation in the locker room, Coach Anxi took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"What's the matter everyone? Aren't we still ahead?" Coach Anxi asked with a smile.

For a while, the players in the entire locker room didn't know how to answer this question.

Yes, it is leading now, but...

"Coach, Akagi..." Mitsui finally asked.

"Oh hehe, Akagi-san's injury is not serious, and Ayako-san is taking care of him."

"Oh, then Akagi can still play this game..." Mitsui's surprised voice was interrupted by Coach Anzai.

"Student Mitsui, and all the Shonhoku players, you have to understand that even without Akagi, the game will continue!" Coach Anzai's words didn't make it clear, but the meaning revealed made it clear that Akagi would be hard to come back.

"I said you are very strong, but in my heart, maybe you are the strongest Xiangbei basketball team in history!"

Coach Anxi seemed to be talking about a very common thing, but everyone in the locker room pricked up their ears.

"Mitsui, Kigure, as third-year seniors, you have to shoulder the responsibility until Akagi doesn't come back!"

"Yes, coach!" The two responded in unison.

"Especially Mitsui, in the first half you took very few three-pointers. Could it be that No. 6 on the opposite side restricted you?"

"I'm sorry, coach!" Mitsui lowered his head in shame. In the first half, under the restriction of the opposite Muto, Mitsui's three-pointers basically did not contribute.

Coach Anzai ignored Hisashi Mitsui. He turned to Miyagi and continued: "Ryota, you did a good job. Although the opponent is No. 1 Maki in Kanagawa, you still played your own characteristics. I hope you will continue to work hard in the second half and connect the team well!"

"I understand, coach." Miyagi, who was praised by Anxi, nodded heavily.

"Rukawa, what's wrong with you, have you been restrained by Kiyota?"

Rukawa Feng who was picked up by the sheet did not speak, but responded to Anxi with cold eyes.

"If you want to surpass Wang Zhengyang and become the strongest player in the first grade, then you must defeat Qingtian cleanly!"

Coach Anxi didn't mind Rukawa Kaede's attitude, he knew how to face this type of player.

Sure enough, after listening to Anxi's words, Rukawafeng's stern gaze became deeper and deeper.

In the end, Coach Anzai turned his attention to Daisuke Hirakawa and Hanamichi Sakuragi, and he held their hands together.

He said earnestly: "Akagi is not here, the inner line of Xiangbei depends on you two!"

"I understand, coach!" Daisuke Hirakawa nodded solemnly. He knew how severe the situation would be in the second half without Akagi's inside line.

"Okay, Dad!" Sakuragi stammered in response, this kind of strong dialogue with inheritance color made Sakuragi's heart surge.

"Then, take the victory as a gift to Akagi!" After explaining to everyone, Coach Anxi stood up.

"Yes!" The Xiangbei generals replied magnificently.

At this moment, they are not only fighting for victory, but more for their captain Takenori Akagi!

On the other side, the Hainan locker room was equally quiet, and no one would question whether Takasago did it on purpose.

Everyone ignored it tacitly, but the high head coach couldn't do it, he needed to arrange the tactics for the second half.

Regardless of the process, Akagi's fate is undoubtedly a good thing for Hainan!

"Cough!" Gao Tou coughed, attracting everyone's attention.

"In the second half, we will focus on the inside line. Mu, Kiyota, and Muto should attack the inside line in Xiangbei more. This is also our best style of play in Hainan!"

Gao Tou simply summed up the attack method, then he took out the tactical board and wrote two words forcefully on it.

He greeted the team members, pointed to these two words and said, "The most important thing is the rebound!"

Coincidentally, coach Anxi also emphasized in the locker room: "Our focus in the second half shifted to the outside, so rebounding is very important!"

Rebounds will be the key to determining the outcome of the two teams!
