After Takatouri’s words, main players such as Kamiso Ichiro and Takasago Kazuma were silent.

Some of them couldn’t imagine what they heard. A rookie who was only in the first year, was said to be unrestricted by their super coach?

But looking at Takatouri’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 give a look to Maki Shinichi.

The meaning was very clear, that is, to let the leader negotiate.

But Maki Shinichi just sat there quietly, neither saying yes nor no.

Kiyota had a bad temper to begin with. He looked at his silent teammates and glanced at Takatouri who had a serious face. Hainan surrendered without a fight? This was not something he wanted to see.

He withstood the pressure and spoke.

“coach……”

“Shut up!

Gao Touli interrupted Qingtian, then stood up and slapped the table in front of him.

“I have made up my mind. If anyone disobeys my orders, I will put him on the chair.”

“Compared with the first place in the county, getting a ticket to the national competition is what we should consider most right now!”

“Hainan has stepped onto the stage of the national competition for 16 consecutive years, and this year is no exception. You should know the pros and cons without me telling you.”

As Hainan’s coach, Gao Touli usually looks amiable, but only the people in Hainan’s basketball team know that his words are the truth and they do not allow any doubt. Once they get serious, no one dares to disobey his arrangements.

Perhaps, only Maki Shinichi can argue with him.

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

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

Gao Touli then sat down slowly, with a straight face and sternly said:”Continue training!”

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

Maki Shinichi walked in at the end. He opened his mouth but didn’t say anything in the end. Instead, 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 to begin.

Yokohama Arena.

It was crowded and noisy.

The first game was a match between Group A and Group C, Hainan VS Buri.

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

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

It was a one-sided situation.

At the end of the first half, Hainan crushed Buri with a 68-point advantage.

In the second half, Gao Touli directly replaced the ace Maki Shinichi and the three-point shooter Kamiso Ichiro, but even so, Buri still had no power to resist and eventually lost with a score of 112-60.

Hainan successfully won its first victory!

“I didn’t expect that although they were both in the semi-finals, Hainan could win the game with such a crushing momentum. Buri is much weaker this year!”

Ayako sighed as she watched the huge score difference.

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

All this is because Buri graduated from high school. She couldn’t help but glance at the people in Xiangbei.

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

Thinking of this, she looked at Izumi Shin who was drowsy sitting on the chair, the cold Rukawa Kaede, Sakuragi Hanamichi who was looking around, and……Staring at her blushing Miyagi

“Ahem!”

It seems that Wuli’s problem will not appear in Xiangbei

“Let’s go, let’s get ready.”

Coach Anzai stood up from his chair first, and led Xiangbei to the locker room with a smile.

On the other side,

Ryonan’s Tanaoka Shigeichi led the Ryonan team to the locker room with a smile and without much pressure.

On the court, the staff were cleaning the field for the second game. Some of the audience in the stands were talking about Hainan’s outstanding performance, and more of the audience couldn’t wait for the game between Xiangbei and Ryonan.

Because Ryonan has Sendoh, the first rookie last year, and before Izumi Shin appeared, the media promoted that he was expected to shake Maki Shinichi’s throne..

In terms of popularity and loyal fans, Sendoh can be said to be in the first echelon in Kanagawa, on par with Maki Shinichi and Fujima.

But before that, Fujima’s Shoyo was defeated by Shohoku.

This makes Izumi Shin have a tendency to suppress Sendoh in popularity.

This also aroused the interest of many people. Sendoh? What kind of sparks will this year’s No. 1 rookie, the first rookie of last year, produce when facing this year’s No. 1 rookie?

In the Shohoku locker room.

Coach Anzai still did not give too much explanation, but simply boosted the morale, because Shohoku had played against Ryonan during the training match..

I also have a certain understanding of Ryonan.

In the eyes of the players, although Sendoh is strong, he is definitely not a match for Izumi Shin.

Because the two have already fought against each other in the training match.

As long as Izumi Shin 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 Jordan.

Coach Anxi is a former national player and a steady person. The current state of the Xiangbei team can be said to be a little conceited, but he did not say anything.

Because in his heart, Izumi Shin? He has already surpassed Gao For middle school students, some tactics may not pose much of a threat.

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

As the playing time ended, Xiangbei and Ryonan came out of the player tunnel at the same time.

As soon as the two teams came out, the whole audience 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 Xiangbei.

Although the warm-up of Izumi Shin and Sendoh was mediocre, it attracted most of the attention at the scene.

“Looking at Izumi Shin’s expression, he didn’t seem to care too much about the match with Ryonan.”

“No way, he does this in every warm-up, and only starts his performance after he officially goes on stage.”

“Isn’t it the same for Sendoh? This is just a warm-up before the game.”

Listening to the voices talking about Izumi Shin and Sendoh.

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

“”Chirp, chirp, it’s so annoying!”

He was just dribbling to warm up when he suddenly threw the basketball in his hand 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, which immediately attracted the attention of many spectators.

“Eh? What happened?” (To read the most exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

“What is No. 13 going to do?” Xiangbei

Akagi and others were also attracted by this sudden voice. No. 13, who ran to the basket, suddenly jumped up. His super strong burst and terrible bounce made his head almost flush with the bottom edge of the backboard. His super long arms grabbed the rebounding basketball.

“Bang!!”[]

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

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 the player number 13?”

“What a terrifying bounce and explosion, what an explosive slam dunk”

“Is he a new player in Ryonan? I’ve never seen him before.”

“Could it be Ryonan’s surprise player? He waited until the semifinals to show up. 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, and he looked at No. 13 who landed in the air, without any impression at all.

Miyagi and others were also confused.

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

“Here comes another cocky guy, who is that guy with the sausage mouth?”

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

This guy is called Fukuda Yoshitaka, like Sakuragi Hanamichi, he has a weird train of thought.

His offensive ability is very strong, but his defensive ability is hard to describe.

Akagi came to Izumi Shin and murmured,”The No. 13 looks very good, and has a great sense of the ball. Could it be that Coach Tagora has hired him to deal with you?”

Izumi Shin couldn’t help but smile,”He is indeed an interesting guy, but he is nothing to me.���”

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

After a while, he found that Izumi Shin was a tough guy who didn’t talk much. No matter who it was, he always looked down on them.

But he was used to it. Who of these great players doesn’t have some personality?

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

The game was about to start.

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

“Xiangbei! Xiangbei! Come on!”

“Ryonan! Must win! Ryonan! Must win!”

“Izumi Makoto! Izumi Makoto!”

“Sendoh! Sendoh!”

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

Xiangbei’s starting lineup: No. 7, Miyagi Ryouta; No. 14, Mitsui Hisashi; No. 12, Rukawa Kaede; No. 11, Izumi Shin; No. 4, Akagi Takenori.

The strongest offensive lineup was selected from the beginning.

Ryonan’s starting lineup: No. 7, Sendoh Akira; No. 6, Konosuba Hiroaki; No. 13, Fukuda Yoshitaka; No. 5, Ikegami Ryoji; No. 4, Uozumi Jun.

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

“You’re lucky this year. You actually got past Shoyo and came here. I’m happy for you, but the winner of this game must be Ryonan. I’ll 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-knelt down, and said coldly to Akagi who was also half-knelt in front of him

“You Ryonan have also advanced, which is indeed something to be happy about, but this game will be the same as the previous training game. The process may change, but the outcome will not change. You can’t beat me. Hanagata has already lost, and 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.

Izumi Shin put his hands on his knees, but heard Ikegami Ryoji’s voice ringing in his ears.

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

Izumi Shin couldn’t help but glance at him, and saw that Ikegami’s eyes were flashing with ferocity from time to time.

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

He smiled.

“Come on!”

A pre-match show of strength? It’s not even trash talk, just a pair of eyes that are a bit intimidating.

For Japan, it is indeed a harsh word, but for me, as long as I don’t bring my reproductive organs and family members, what kind of trash talk is it? When

Ikegami heard what Izumi Shin said, he gritted his teeth and made a clucking sound.

This is the rhythm of not taking me as a dish at all.

“”Shhh!!”

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

The game officially began!

Akagi and Yuzumi both reacted quickly and almost jumped at the same time.

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

But in terms of jumping ability, Akagi is obviously better. Even if the two jump at the same time, even if there is a height difference of several centimeters between the two, they both hit the basketball in the air almost at the same time.

“Roar!!”

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

But maybe because Akagi was regarded as his mortal enemy, his adrenaline surged, and he suppressed Akagi in terms of strength.

He slapped the basketball to the backcourt.

Sendoh jumped easily and successfully took the basketball.

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.

“Let’s score a goal first, everyone.”
