Basketball: In Control Of The Overall Situation, Shohoku Is Billion Points Stronger

I did it...

This is the scene where I would wake up laughing in my dreams.

We, Shohoku, have finally turned into a strong team.

Do not!

We are the team that will dominate the country!

This year, it will definitely come true!

Akagi Takenori covered his head with a towel and sat quietly on the player's bench, as if he was practicing, and any interference would be blocked by himself.

Like playing a movie in his mind, he replayed the two years he spent on the Shohoku Basketball Team.

Look at this moment again, the scoreboard clearly reads 4~9 draws.

The opponent is Ryanan.

How can it not make people's blood boil.

Yes, Ryonan didn't give his all in the first half, especially Sendoh, and anyone could see that.

But we Shohoku-are we trying our best?

not at all!

But in the last few minutes, the two teams fought a few rounds with real guns and knives.

Akagi can draw a conclusion with certainty,

have equal shares!

so,

At this moment, Akagi Takenori had a hard time calming down.

In one sentence, three years! Do you know how I lived these three years!

"Akagi."

A gentle voice entered Akagi's ears, bringing him back to reality from the spiritual world.

You don't need to look to know that this person must be Kogure Kiminobu who knows himself best.

"I know what you're thinking because so am I."

Kogure patted Akagi's shoulder, looking forward to it, and his eyes became moist.

When it comes to empathy, it ranks second and no one dares to claim third.

What's more, he is also a person in the game, and he has fought through the most difficult days with Akagi.

The two brothers broke out of the darkness together today and saw the long-awaited dawn.

Akagi Takenori took off the towel and wiped the sweat off his face, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"The game is not over yet, we can't be careless, just like Coach Anzai said, if there is no sense of crisis, sooner or later we will wake up from the dream."

Kogure smiled knowingly,

"But don't make it too tight, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it."

After speaking, Kogure looked at Bai Ze and others.

It is precisely because of these teammates that they can feel emotional here.

Especially Bai Ze.

His joining completely changed the fate of Shohoku.

With Bai Ze's ability, any team in the country will definitely want him to join.

But he just doesn't show his mountains and dews, and he doesn't show his talent until the end.

It happened to be hit by coach Anzai.

Coincidentally, his opponent at the time was super rookie Kaede Rukawa.

Taoka Moichi, who was also at the final scene, decisively chose Kaede Rukawa, who was more certain, and missed Bai Ze.

All the coincidences are connected together, like a chance given to Shohoku by God.

Let Bai Ze wear this red jersey!

Since then, Shohoku has gone in a completely different direction.

Akagi laughed, "Those guys, if you don't push them, they might cause some trouble.

beep

The referee blows his whistle to signal.

The second half will continue after 5 minutes.

The players put away their smiles one after another, sat in the players' bench in a proper manner, and waited for the coach's instructions.

Coach Anzai walked in front of everyone unhurriedly.

"We played well in the first half, but it's a positive.

All the team members raised their heads suddenly, unable to believe their ears.

What did the coach just say?

So far?

What does this mean? Stop playing??

Bai Ze's heart also beat faster suddenly.

At halftime, he felt that Coach Anzai might die.

Anyway, if he is a professional teacher, he will definitely do this.

Because it's a tie now.

This result was difficult for Ryonan, but it was a pleasant surprise for Shohoku.

Basketball games are changing rapidly, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.

So it's better to take advantage of this situation to stop in time, let the players maintain their confidence, and at the same time throw another smoke bomb to Ryonan.

There is one more important point.

It's an injury hazard!

So far, through these two practice games, the physical and mental state of Shohoku players have reached the best.

So it's still the same sentence, ever-changing from the old.

If the main force is accidentally injured next time, it will be too much to lose!

At this time, it is most important to stop and meet the county competition with full fighting spirit and good health.

That being said, I understand the truth, but Bai Ze is a bit reluctant...

I want to get some more assists in the second half...

Who cares about money...

"Coach, what do you mean..." Akagi Takenori said cautiously.

Coach Anzai nodded,

"That's right, all the starting players will not be on the stage in the second half, no matter win or lose, they will all sit on the sidelines."

Bai Ze's shoulders relaxed, and it was exactly as he expected.

Even so, there is no other way, and 18 assists are still up to the mark.

Coach Anzai didn't need to explain too much, the starters basically understood his intentions.

It's also a good feeling to retire.

Of course, there are some people who don't understand in the first episode, such as...

"Clam??"

"Dad, are you confused? Let us end the game and lose!"

"My genius Sakuragi bet on the second half! That Sendoh! And that monkey boss! I must teach them a lesson!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi blushed and said through gritted teeth.

Throughout the first half, Sakuragi scored 2 points, picked up 3 rebounds, and fouled three times...

And Sendoh, who was facing him, scored 17 points lightly.

Sakuragi was completely led by the nose by Sendoh for half the time.

Akagi sighed and locked Sakuragi to his chest.

"You idiot! You still have the face to say what happened in the first half!"

"If you don't play, it's your punishment. Go back and train me well. If you do it again next time, sit on the bench for me!"

Akagi was simple and rude, there was no need to explain those strategic factors to Sakuragi, and he simply threw the reasons back on himself.

Because Akagi knows very well that Sakuragi's level is far more than that, but this guy is too easy to get ahead, and his state is also easily affected.

When it comes to the county competition or even the national competition, he will face various opponents, and Sakuragi must get rid of this problem.

at the same time,

Ryonan's Taoka coach also gave the latest instructions.

"In the second half, Sendoh, Uozumi, and Kaede Rukawa were all out."

As soon as the words fell, a cold light flashed in Kaede Rukawa's eyes.

He doesn't know Taoka's purpose, nor is he interested in knowing.

He just wants to beat Bai Ze!

But he didn't make it in the first half.

After waiting for so long and practicing for so long, not only did he still fail to force Bai Ze to take a shot, even his personal score did not have as many assists as Bai Ze's!

How can I stand it...

Taoka Moichi understood what he was thinking, and added: "This is just a practice match, don't worry, and I believe Coach Anzai will die down in the second half.

"Because the current situation is the most optimistic for Shohoku, he will not take any more risks."

After Taoka finished speaking, he turned his head and took a deep look at Mitsuyoshi Anzai.

Right, Senior Anzai.

At this moment, Sendoh yawned abruptly

"Ha~ I can finally relax..."

Hearing this, Taoka became furious!

Have you ever been tight?! You can finally relax!

Now this is a happy situation for Shohoku, and for us!

It's a disgrace!

Our goal this year is the national championship, and Shohoku was tied at halftime, but who would have thought that Shohoku would become stronger, and would only think that we are paper tigers!

It's not you Sendoh!

Taoka Moichi stared furiously,

Although the purpose of this practice match was achieved, the score of the tie really made him feel angry.

Didn't say a word, but Sendoh read everything from the look on his face

Immediately put on a flattering face, and raised his hands in surrender.

"Don't be so angry, coach..."

"I'll pay attention next time...hehe..."

beep

The referee blows his whistle.

The second half of the game officially started.

Players from both teams entered the field one after another.

The audience was completely dumbfounded by this...

What is this?

Where are people?

Coach Taoka Moichi and Anzai also looked at each other and smiled unconsciously on the sidelines, saying everything without saying a word...

Shohoku's backup center Kakuta the Great and Ryonan's backup center Guan Ping, both of them jumped the ball from the center line.

King Kakuta fell behind, and the first attack of the second half was initiated by Ryonan.

From here on,

What was supposed to be an extremely exciting game has become lethargic...

"It's too boring...Is this what the two teams negotiated?"

"Honestly, I've watched Ryonan for three years, and now there are two people on the field that I feel like I've never even seen..."

"Then look at Shohoku again, that guy with glasses is not as good as me!"

"Let's withdraw, I guess the second half will be like this, both teams may want to retain their strength, but then again, this year's Shohoku is really eye-catching."

"Indeed, but that is not our opponent, I hope we can meet again in the county competition.

The audience talked a lot, and most of their attention was no longer on the game.

At the media table, Aida Yayoi also spared time to write quickly in her notebook, presenting eye-catching titles one after another in beautiful small characters.

Sanae next to her poked her chin in boredom, glanced at Aida Yayoi, and knew the general content of what she wrote without thinking.

Who in the entire magazine doesn't know that Aida Yayoi is a diehard fan of the Ryonan High School basketball team.

Last year, Ryonan reached the semi-finals, and the exposure was even higher than that of the champion Kainan.

…… Ask for flowers……………

Especially for Sendoh, summed up in four words.

It is glorious to lose.

At this time, he must be trying to find all kinds of reasonable words for Ryonan, so that the half-time draw can reflect a completely different meaning.

"Why are you so laid back?" Aida Yayoi said without looking up.

Competition for promotion is naturally a matter between two people, and Aida Yayoi also cares about it.

Regardless of career planning, at least after promotion, the degree of freedom will be higher, and the writing will not be subject to too many constraints.

Sanae's professional ability is also a big threat to her.

But Sanae's behavior today made him a little puzzled...

Sanae smiled slightly, her eyes bent into crescents, and she answered the wrong question and said:

"What does Aida-senpai think of Shohoku?"

This sudden question made Aida Yayoi startled, she looked down at the titles in the notebook and was a little embarrassed...

"Um... Shohoku, this year is okay, and I should make some progress."

Sanae shook her head casually, "I don't think so...

After finishing speaking, Sanae already had a draft in her heart.

For Bai Ze's plan, it seems that he will have a fight with Aida Yayoi.

In the first attack and defense in the second half, neither side scored, the rhythm was very slow, and the scene was rather ugly.

This also became the epitome of the entire second half of the game.

However, Ryonan's bench depth is better after all, and as the game progressed, the gap became apparent.

Coach Anzai is as stable as Mount Tai, and he is not in a hurry to play well as a substitute.

Taoka Moichi is different, when you can't see it, you stand up and shout a few words.

Exhibiting Ryonan's iron discipline.

Sakuragi Hanamichi sat on the bench in frustration, bouncing one foot impatiently.

I am so frustrated today, it is all because of Ryonan!

The old man was still yelling at him all the time, and he was upset when he heard it.

After enduring for a long time, Sakuragi finally took action.

He quietly left the bench and sneaked up to Ryonan.

Arriving behind the roaring Taoka Moichi, put your hands together and turn your fingertips into guns!

puff..

A finger gun made Taoka Moichi shrink instantly!

That face was blue and purple, and then there was a heart-piercing scream...

Taoka's whole body was bent in pain, and when he turned around, he saw the red hair.

"You! What are you doing!!"

This sudden change made Ryonan's entire bench dumbfounded and at a loss for a moment.

Sakuragi Hanamichi proudly raised his neck, "Old man, this is your trial by genius!"

Taoka Moichi shouted frantically, "Referee! Referee! This man is crazy!"

Only then did Akagi Takenori rush over, without saying a word, he beat up Sakuragi in front of Taoka!

In the end, he bowed his head and apologized.

Only then did Taoka regain some sense, and sat down angrily, grinning in pain...

Coach Anzai waved at him to express his apology, but Taoka didn't know if it was an illusion, and felt that the fat face looked like he was trying to suppress a smile...

The referee also awarded a technical foul to Sakuragi Hanamichi in principle.

Ryonan gets a free throw.

Taoka Moichi's anger had nowhere to vent, and he happened to see Aida Hikoichi beside him.

Pulling his ear, he shouted: "Where is that bastard a mysterious master! Hikoichi, go back and practice more! Practice more!!"

Aida Hikoichi stubbornly squeezed out a sentence amidst the physical and mental torture,

"Senior Sakuragi's strength is more than that..."

"Believe me..."

This episode also added some color to the dull second half and became the only bright spot.

The end of the game Shohoku: 72:87 lost the game.

In the case of a draw between the two sides in the first half, the game with all substitutes in the second half was beaten 23 to 38.

As Coach Anzai thought, although he lost in the end, it had no effect on the mentality of the main players.

In their hearts, Shohoku is already a team that can rival Ryonan, or surpass them.

All the players of the two teams walked into the field and bowed in a friendly manner.

The two captains, Akagi and Uozumi, shook hands with each other. Judging from the veins on their arms, they should be quite hostile

"Akagi, I hope to meet you again in the county competition. Next time we won't let the water go."

Akagi snorted coldly, "It's the same for us, next time we will surely take away the victory."

the other side,

Kaede Rukawa stood in front of Bai Ze again.

The demeanor of the two people is still two extremes.

"You still haven't attacked."

Kaede Rukawa said lightly, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

This time the team won, but for himself, he still lost!

Bai Ze passed him more than once, but he still didn't attack. To him, it was like being insulted.

But this time, Bai Rong gave him a brand new answer.

"Next time, be prepared."
