shining moment

On the day of the match between Xiangbei and Xiangyang, Yasuda Mori and Uesugi Yuko sat in the auditorium early.

"Xiangyang! Xiangyang! Xiangyang! Xiangyang!" The people in uniform in the auditorium were shouting their school's name loudly.

"As expected of Xiangyang High School, the second seed in Kanagawa, even the momentum of support is extraordinary."

"Hahaha, Senmata, you see, this is Xiangyang's strength! The strength of the basketball team is even stronger!" Uesugi Yuko praised her school without hesitation.

Xiangyang University is indeed different from the teams that Xiangbei has encountered before. In terms of strength, whether Xiangbei can win this time is still unknown.Even the Xiangbei players who are still in the locker room, who have not yet played at this time, feel a certain amount of pressure.

"This game is very critical! Everyone cheer up!" Said Captain Akagi, who had dark circles under his eyes, and it looked like he didn't sleep well last night.

"Is even Akagi nervous? But so am I. I woke up at four o'clock this morning."

Mitsui replied disdainfully to what Kigure Konobu said, "What a worthless guy, but it's just Xiangyang, what a fuss." After speaking, he went to the toilet again.Sure enough, everyone in Shonhoku was very nervous when they met last year's second largest basketball team with super strength in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Xiangyang High School not only has a large number of people in the auditorium, even the reserve players next to the field are almost too many to sit down. Compared with this, there are only a handful of people in Xiangbei, and the girls sitting in the stands are also involuntarily nervous. Woke up.

"Hey, Mori, look over there! As a coach, Fujima is guiding the players and arranging the lineup. It's amazing!"

The girl looked at the side of the court, and Kenji Fujima of Xiangyang High School was playing the role of coach in an orderly manner, "Today is our first game, please don't be careless! Xiangbei won four games before, and we have to use this Let’s create momentum for ourselves in this game, take advantage of the victorious momentum, and become the number one this year in one go! Well, let’s get up and compete!”

This time, Xiangbei's starting lineup is Akagi Takenori, Mitsui Hisashi, Miyagi Ryota, Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Xiangyang sent the 180-cm second-year Ito Takumi as the defender, the 197-cm third-year Hana Yutatoru as the center, the 193-cm third-year Shoichi Takano as the center forward, the 191-cm third-year Mitsuru Nagano and the 190-cm three The grader Kazushi Nagaya was the striker, and the starting lineup sent by Xiangyang was all tall players.

As the captain of Shohoku, Takenori Akagi, who has always been calm and calm, was sentenced to a foul for a jump ball violation before the official start of the game, and Xiangyang took the lead in attacking instead.If Xiangbei was affected by the momentum of the strong team in the qualifiers before officially entering the national competition, the subsequent games will become more difficult.

Facing Akagi's defense, Toru Hanaata, as a center, threw the ball directly while jumping back and took the lead with a beautiful FADEAWAYJUMPSHOOT.The average height of Xiangyang team members is much higher than that of Xiangbei members, and they have an advantage in height. Xiangyang almost uses zone defense man-to-man defensive tactics, making it difficult for Xiangbei to break through Xiangyang's inner circle, whether it is teleportation Or the shooting will be due to Xiangyang's height advantage and he cannot use the usual methods. When Xiangbei is attacking, even the usual high-altitude pass is easily intercepted. When Xiangbei returns to defense, the referee blows the whistle.

"Foul! Foul by White Ten!" Sakuragi Hanamichi fouled for the first time in the match against Xiangyang.

Miyagi and Mitsui stretched out a finger tacitly, reminding Yingmu Huadao, "The first offender."

Xiangbei's return defense did not play any role, and Xiangyang's Huaxingtou scored again.

Xiangbei was gradually opened up by Xiangyang with a score of 6 to 11 in the first 0 minutes of the game.

The girl watching the game also became more and more nervous, her hands on her knees clenched involuntarily, and her eyes were fixed on the court.

At this time, on the court, Akagi, who saw Hanakata was about to jump up and shoot again, immediately jumped up to intercept, and Mitsui, who had rich experience, reminded Akata loudly at this time that it was a fake move. It was too late. When Akagi's defense was about to jump up and shoot again, Rukawa took the opportunity to snatch the basketball. He passed two people in a row, shot and scored, breaking the deadlock of zero points in Xiangbei since the opening.

It seems to be stimulated by Rukawa's sentence "It's useless to wait for you, your movements are too stiff." This sentence, the momentum of the other four people on the Xiangbei Stadium seemed to return in an instant, facing Xiangyang During the attack, Miyagi successfully intercepted the opponent's ball several times in a row. With the cooperation of fast-break pass and Sakuragi, Miyagi scored another goal in the blink of an eye, until Mitsui's three-pointer equalized the score.

Mitsui's beautiful three-pointer caused a commotion in the audience. Obviously, even though the teenager stayed away from the court for two years, the game when he was still in Takeishi Middle School was still engraved in the hearts of everyone.

"Although the hairstyle and appearance have changed, I still clearly remember what happened three years ago, the goal that turned defeat into victory in the final!"

"The number 14, he is the number 4 of Wushi Middle School who participated in the junior high school competition three years ago, and the MVP Mitsui Shou!"

That's right, this is that Mitsui Shou from Takeishi Middle School back then, the well-deserved MVP of the Junior League, the girl thought in her heart that the genius boy on the court back then is back.

"Mitsui Shou!"

"It's that Mitsui Shou!"

"It's really amazing!"

"Xiangbei is really not an easy team!"

"Junior High School MVP Hisashi Mitsui!"

"Super rookie Rukawa!"

"Super Defender Miyagi"

"And the gorilla Akagi!"

"Isn't it just a coincidence that Xiangbei has come to where it is today?"

Sakuragi on the court seemed to have heard a lot of praise, but he was a little dissatisfied when he didn't hear his own, "Hey! Have you forgotten me, the super genius Sakuragi Hanamichi?"

On the other side, Fujima, who has seen the current situation, is ready to play.

"Eh?! Is Fujima going to play? Ah, really, I'm really looking forward to seeing Fujima on the court!" Yuko Uesugi, who was sitting next to the girl, was dissatisfied with Hanagata's letting Fujima believe him, so she didn't play for the time being.

The score on the court was once again widened by Xiangyang. In the first half, after Sakuragi grabbed the rebound, they temporarily fell behind Xiangyang with a score of 31 to 22.

After the first half of the game, the physical strength of the Xiangbei players was exhausted very quickly. After a period of rest, in the second half, under the situation that Sakuragi continued to grab rebounds, Xiangbei took advantage of the victory and pursued the victory, narrowing the score gap to 1 in one breath. After another slam dunk by Rukawa Kaede, Xiangbei surpassed Xiangyang by one point.

The girls off the field watched the excitedly cheering boys on the field and laughed too.

"Hey! Look! Fujima is really going to play this time! You Xiangbei are really good! The score has surpassed Xiangyang!" Uesugi Yuko saw Fujima took off his coat off the court, revealing the inside of Xiangyang. Yang No. 4's jersey went to the referee's seat and asked for a substitution.

"Fujima! Fujima! Fujima!"

"Fujima! Fujima! Fujima!"

……

Seeing Fujima's appearance, the Xiangyang support team let out bursts of shouts.

On the court, Fujishin scored with a shot as soon as he came on the court, and confidently said to the Xiangbei members: "Xianbei wants to enter the semi-finals? You are not qualified yet! Just let it go!"

This sentence completely aroused the fighting spirit of Xiangbei, but Xiangyang with Fujima is like a completely different strong team. Just adding a point guard like Fujima, Xiangyang can be said to be from the original team. An average team becomes a powerhouse.

When the competition was at its peak, Mitsui, who had a blank period of two years, faced such a strong opponent, although his physical strength was almost exhausted, but because of the boy's own persistence, he firmly believed that he would be able to win to the end The belief that supports the boy to continue, even if he is exhausted, he still persists on the field, even if he is intercepted by his opponent, he still firmly believes that the more disadvantages he faces, the more he will cheer up people.Not giving up lightly is not a simple word on the lips, but it can be truly reflected in the boy's firm eyes and the figure on the field.The young man on the field made several three-pointers in a row until the moment he fell off the field, he saved the ball that might have gone out of bounds, passed the ball to Rukawa, helped Xiangbei to tie the score, and finally separated the field with 20 points in the entire game .

And Xiangbei also tried its best in the last few minutes and defeated Xiangyang by two points. The teenagers gathered together and showed happy smiles, "We won!" "We entered the final!" "Too much!" alright!"

"Congratulations! Xiangbei won!" Yuko looked at the Xiangyang members who were disappointed because they lost the game.

"Yuko?" An Tiansen looked at Yuko next to him with a little worry.

"No, I'm fine, don't worry. Xiangyang still has the winter games to participate in. This is also a good experience. It's really a wonderful game! Let's go to the players' lounge to find Mitsui." Yuko pulled Sen went to the players' lounge in Xiangbei again.

Outside the lounge, Konobu Kigure, who is also a third-year student, was about to close the door. When he saw Yasuda Mori and Uesugi Yuko wanting to go in, he made a silent gesture and said softly, "I'm sorry, I can't enter yet. .”

When the two of them saw the peaceful sleeping face of the teenagers inside through the crack of the door, it became clear that after a game in Xiangyang, the exhausted teenagers all fell asleep while resting.

"Yuko, let's go." Anderson whispered in Yuko's ear again.

"That's right, it's a pity that I have to go back to class to review the books." Yuko sighed softly.

"Then, come back at the next competition, or just wait until the national competition."

"Well, by the way, you really have confidence in Xiangbei."

The two girls spoke softly as they walked.
