Aomine Daiki In Shohoku: The Beginning

65. The Semi-Finals Officially Begin! A Different Ryonan! [Subscribe]

After Riki Takato's words, Soichiro Jin, Takasago Kazuma and other main players were silent. They couldn't imagine what they heard. A freshman who was only in his first year was said to be unrestricted by their super coach. However, judging from Riki Takato's attitude, there was no room for negotiation on this matter. Besides, they were just players and had no right to negotiate. He couldn't help but glance at Shinichi Maki. The meaning was obvious, that is, to let the leader negotiate. But Shinichi Maki just sat there quietly, neither saying yes nor no. Kiyota had a bad temper. He looked at his silent teammates and glanced at Gao Tou Li, who looked serious. Kainan surrendered without a fight? This was not what he wanted to see. He withstood the pressure and spoke. "......" "Shut up!" Riki Takato interrupted Kiyota, then stood up and slapped the table in front of him. "I have made up my mind. If anyone doesn't listen to the arrangement, I will press him down on the chair."

"Compared with the first place in the county, getting the ticket to the national Tang Dynasty is the most important issue we should consider now!"

" Kainan has stepped into the national competition stage for 16 consecutive years, and this year is no exception. You should know the pros and cons without me telling you.

Riki Takato, as Kainan's coach, usually looks more amiable, but only the people in Kainan's basketball team know that his words are the truth and cannot be questioned at all. Once he gets serious, no one dares to disobey his arrangement.

Perhaps, only Shinichi Maki can argue with him.

Kiyota subconsciously looked at Shinichi Maki with a look of help, but found that the shepherd chose to remain silent without changing his expression, and others dared not say anything.

The huge office suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and you could vaguely hear the thumping heartbeat.

Riki Takato then sat down slowly, and said sternly with a straight face: "Continue training!"

The players looked at each other and walked out of the office.

Shinichi Maki walked at the end. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end. He followed the team to continue training.

Time passed quickly.

In a blink of an eye, it was June 20th, the time for the semi-finals round-robin match.

Yokohama Arena.

There were huge crowds and noise.

The first game was a match between Group A and Group C, Kainan vs. Buri.

The match between Group B's Shohoku Shohoku and Group D's Ryonan was scheduled for the second game.

Although Kainan and Buri were both semi-finalists last year and both advanced to the semi-finals this year, it should have been a fierce game, but the situation suddenly changed as soon as they entered the court.

The situation was one-sided. At the end of the first half, Kainan crushed Buri with a 68-point advantage. In the second half, Riki Takato directly replaced the ace Makishin and the three-point shooter Soichiro Jin, but even so, Buri still had no power to resist and finally lost with a score of 112-60.

Kainan won the first victory smoothly!

"I didn't expect that we were both semi-finalists, but Kainan was able to win the game with a crushing momentum. Buri is much weaker this year!"

Ayako looked at the huge score difference and sighed.

Collecting team information is part of her job. She knows that last year, Buri and Kainan were not much different, but this year? They were beaten up.

All this is because Buri graduated from the third year of high school. She couldn't help but look at Shohoku.

The main players in the third year of high school are Akagi and Mitsui. These two will graduate next year. Will Shohoku become like Buri now?

Thinking of this, she looked at Shin Izumi who was drowsy in the chair, the cold Kaede Rukawa, Sakuragi Hanamichi who was looking around, and... Ryota Kanjo who was staring at her with a red face.

"Ahem!"

It seems that the problem of Buri will not appear on Shohoku.

"Let's go, let's get ready." Coach Anzai stood up from his chair first, and led Shohoku to the locker room with a smile. On the other side, Taoka Moichi of Ryonan led Ryonan to the locker room with a smile and without much pressure. On the court, the staff were cleaning the court for the second game. Some of the audience in the stands were talking about Kainan's outstanding performance, and more of the audience couldn't wait for the match between Shohoku and Ryonan. Because Ryonan has Sendoh, the first rookie last year, and the first person in the media who is expected to shake Shinichi Maki's throne before Shin Izumi appeared. In terms of popularity and loyal fans, Sendoh can be said to be ranked in the first echelon in Kanagawa, on par with Fujima. But before that, Fujima's Shoyo was defeated by Shohoku. This makes Shin Izumi have a tendency to suppress Sendoh in popularity. This also makes many people interested. What kind of sparks will Sendoh, the No. 1 rookie last year, produce when facing this year's No. 1 rookie?

Shohoku locker room.

Coach Anzai still didn't give too much explanation, but simply boosted morale, because Shohoku had played against Ryonan in the training match.

He also had a certain understanding of Ryonan.

In the eyes of the players, although Sendoh is strong, he is definitely not Shin Izumi's opponent.

Because the two had already played against each other in the training match.

As long as Shin Izumi is on the court, it is a symbol of invincibility!

This is like an NBA team, the opposing team only has an ordinary All-Star player, while their own team has the basketball god Yangdan.

Coach Anzai is a former national player and a steady person. Shohoku's current state can be said to be a little conceited, but he didn't say anything.

Because in his heart, Shin Izumi? has long surpassed the scope of high school students, and some tactics may not pose much threat at all.

Such a passionate atmosphere may be more suitable for the game.

As the appearance time is over, Shohoku and Ryonan came out of the player tunnel at the same time.

The two teams had just come out and the whole stadium was boiling.

Akagi and Uozumi, the captains, looked at each other from a distance, with some fire in their eyes from time to time.

Sendoh walked onto the court with a lazy look and began to do pre-match warm-up exercises.

The same was true for Shohoku.

Although Shin Izumi and Sendoh's warm-up exercises were ordinary, they attracted most of the attention at the scene.

"Looking at Shin Izumi's expression, he didn't seem to take the match with Ryonan too seriously."

"No, he warmed up like this in every game, and only started his performance after he officially went on the court."

"Isn't it the same for Sendoh? This is just a pre-match warm-up. "

Listening to the voices talking about Shin Izumi and Sendoh.

At the Ryonan half, a guy wearing a No. 13 jersey frowned with a look of displeasure on his face.

"Whisper, whine, whine, whine, it's so annoying!"

He was just dribbling to warm up, but suddenly he threw the basketball in his hand heavily towards his own backboard.

The relatively dull dribbling sound suddenly became a loud sound of the basketball hitting the backboard.

At the same time, No. 13 rushed to his own basket at a very fast speed.

It attracted the attention of many spectators.

"Huh? What happened?"

"What is No. 13 going to do?"

Shohoku Akagi and others were also attracted by this sudden sound.

I saw.

No. 13 ran to the basket and jumped up suddenly. The super strong burst and the terrible bounce made his head almost flush with the bottom edge of the backboard. The super long arm span grabbed the rebounding basketball.

"Bang!!"

With a powerful two-handed dunk, the basketball was slammed into the basket by him.

In an instant.

The original chattering noise disappeared, and the whole stadium was silent.

The next second.

The whole stadium was in an uproar.

"Oh my God, who is that No. 13 player?"

"What a terrifying bounce and burst, what a slam dunk.

"Is he a new player in Ryonan? I have never seen him before. "

"Is this Ryonan's secret weapon? He didn't show up until the semi-finals. It seems he came for Shohoku. ”

“This game is going to be interesting!”

The dunk by No. 13 just now instantly became the focus of the whole audience.

Akagi frowned, he looked at No. 13 who landed in the air, and had no impression at all.

Miyagi and others were also confused.

Sakuragi Hanamichi listened to the audience talking about No. 13, and he gritted his teeth.

“Another arrogant guy is here, who is the guy with the sausage mouth?”

Shin Izumi also took a look, this iconic afro? Sausage mouth? He remembered it immediately.

This guy is Fukuda Kicchou, like Sakuragi Hanamichi, he has a weird brain circuit.

0...Please give me flowers...

The offensive ability is very strong, but the defensive ability is hard to describe.

Akagi even came to Shin Izumi and murmured: “The physical fitness of No. 13 looks very good, and the ball sense is very good. Is it that Coach Tian asked him to deal with you?”

Shin Izumi couldn't help but smile: “It’s indeed an interesting guy, but it’s the same to me. "

His words made Akagi a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything and turned around to continue his warm-up.

After a period of time, he found that Shin Izumi was a tough guy who didn't talk much. No matter who he was, he always looked down on him.

But he had long been accustomed to it. Who of these great gods doesn't have some personality?

With a "beep", the loudspeaker on the scene sounded.

The game started soon.

In the stands, fans of both sides began to shout.

" Shohoku! Shohoku! Come on!"

" Ryonan! Must win! Ryonan! Must win!"

" Shin Izumi! Shin Izumi!"

" Sendoh! Sendoh!"

Amid the cheers, both sides returned to the rest area and began to arrange the starting lineup for this game.

Shohoku's starting lineup: No. 7, Miyagi Ryota; No. 14, Hisashi Mitsui; No. 12, Kaede Rukawa; No. 11, Shin Izumi; No. 4, Akagi Takenori.

The strongest offensive lineup was selected at the beginning.

Ryonan's starting lineup: No. 7, Akira Sendoh; No. 6, Koshino Hiroaki; No. 13, Fukuda Kicchou; No. 5, Ikegami Ryoji; No. 4, Uozumi.

Perhaps because of Fukuda's violent slam dunk, many viewers focused their attention on him. They wanted to see how strong this mysterious player of Ryonan was.

"You are lucky this year. You actually surpassed Shoyo and came here. I am happy for you, but the winner of this game must be our Ryonan. I will use my actions to tell the world that I, Yuzumi, am the best center in Kanagawa!"

Yuzumi came to the jump ball position and half-crouched, and said coldly to Akagi who was also half-crouching in front of him.

"You Ryonan also advanced, which is indeed a happy thing, but this game will be the same as the previous training game. The process may change, but

the ending will not change. You can't beat me. Hanagata has already lost. Now it's your turn. "

Akagi responded unyieldingly.

"Didn't you brush your teeth before going out? Your mouth stinks."

"Same here."

The two of them stared at each other like angry King Kong.

Shin Izumi put his hands on his knees and heard Ikegami Ryoji's voice ringing in his ears.

"Even if it's a foul, I won't let you score easily. ’"

Shin Izumi couldn't help but glanced, and saw that Ikegami's eyes were flashing with ferocity from time to time.

Obviously, this was the task that Taoka Moichi had given him, to defend himself by any means.

He smiled.

"Come on!"

A pre-match show of strength? It wasn't even trash talk, just a pair of eyes that was a bit intimidating.

For Neon Country, it was indeed a cruel word, but for himself, as long as he didn't bring his reproductive organs and family members, what kind of trash talk was it?

Ikegami gritted his teeth and made a chuckle when he heard Shin Izumi's words.

This was the rhythm of not taking himself as a dish at all.

"Shh!!"

A whistle sounded, and the referee threw the basketball in his hand straight into the sky.

The game officially began!

Akagi and Yuzumi reacted quickly, almost jumping at the same time.

From the ball fight, Yuzumi has improved his strength during this period, at least his reaction has become faster.

But in terms of jumping ability, Akagi was obviously better. Even though they both jumped at the same time and there was a height difference of several centimeters between them, they both hit the basketball in the air at almost the same time.

"Roar!!"

Both of them roared like wild beasts, neither of them giving in.

But I don't know if it was because Akagi was regarded as his mortal enemy, which made his adrenaline surge and suppressed Akagi in terms of strength.

He slapped the basketball to the backcourt.

Sendoh jumped easily and successfully scored the goal.

Ryonan got the ball.

"nie!" Sendoh got the ball and gave Yuzumi a thumbs up.

Sendoh didn't rush to attack after getting the ball, but chose to advance slowly with the ball.

"Everyone, let's score a goal first."
