shining moment

Everyone who finished a game temporarily resumed their daily life.

In the basketball hall after class, everyone on the basketball team is training.

When An Tiansen walked past the basketball hall after school, he passed through the crowd and took a quick look inside.

Mitsui, who was just watching the practice match in the gym, said, "I'll replace you, Tsunoda."

The one who was called was a sophomore named Satoru Kakuda. The basketball club’s ongoing daily training was a confrontation between the first graders and the second and third graders. To show fairness, Mitsui did not join the second and third graders at first. .

There are many people who come to watch the basketball training. First-year member of the Sakuragi Legion, Akagi Haruko and her two friends Fujii and Matsui. Sometimes, Rukawa Kaede’s support team can completely block the entrance of the basketball hall. In my ears, I just kept hearing the Rukawa Kaede pro-guard team cheering loudly like "Rukawa, Rukawa, Rukawa" like a repeater. Therefore, Anderson seldom went to watch the basketball team's usual training.

"What on earth did you do? The opponent is only a first-year student. If you lose, you will be fined to do 50 push-ups. It is because of you that others will say that our main selection in Xiangbei is weak, and the strength of the reserve seats is not good. Ah!" When Anderson left again, he only heard Mitsui's reprimand from the gymnasium.

The two days of the weekend are the preliminaries of the national competition and the final contest between the Kanagawa prefectural basketball teams.

On June 6, Xiangbei easily won the game against Buri with a score of 26 to 120. On the same day, Lingnan and Hainan were tied in an overtime match, and Hainan won.

On June 6th, the places to go to the national competition will be generated on this day.

On the day of the finals, there were unusually many people.

"Will Xiangbei or Lingnan win?"

"Looking at their performance against Hainan, they should be evenly matched."

"It's really hard to predict which side will win."

The stadium was also full of people early. The first game was Buri against Hainan. Hainan won the game without any suspense, and the match between Xiangbei and Lingnan will start soon.The day before the game, coach Anxi suddenly passed out on the sidelines of the training field. He still needs to rest in the hospital and cannot be discharged. Without coach Anxi, the Xiangbei players can only complete today's game on their own.

"If you don't see your teacher, you will always feel lost..." Mitsui said while taking out a photo frame with a portrait of Mr. Anzai, and placed it on the bench next to the court.

"do not do that!"

"It's very unlucky!"

Sakuragi and Akagi hurriedly stopped.

Before the game, Akagi was conducting today's combat guidance, "Defensively, as usual, use man-to-man. I stared at Yuzhu, Miyagi stared at Uekusa Tomoyuki, Mitsui stared at Kokoshi Hiroaki, Rukawa stared at Sendo, and Sakuragi stared at Fukuda Yoshio. Today The teacher is not here, we have to work harder!"

The host’s voice echoed in the arena, “Before the official start of the second match between Shonhoku High School and Lingnan High School, let me introduce the first-choice players from both schools—the red jersey is Shohoku No. 7, Takenori Akagi; No. 10 Miyagi Ryota, No. 11 Sakuragi Flower Road, No. 14 Rukawa Kaede, and No. [-] Mitsui Shou.”

"Mitsui, come on!" Tokuo led a group of people to put up a big banner with the words "热の男" in the auditorium, cheering for Mitsui loudly.

"Stop barking!" Mitsui turned his head and said helplessly, blushing.

"I want to help them enter the national competition. This is the only compensation I can make to them." Mitsui turned around and folded his hands facing Coach Anxi's photo frame. "Teacher, I will definitely give the right to attend the national competition as a gift." for you."

"Don't put your palms together! Mitsui, you said it's unlucky!" Akagi said loudly from the side.

"Coach Anxi is still alive!" Sakuragi also complained from the side.

"Next, there is Lingnan High School in white jerseys! No. 4 Jun Uozumi, No. 6 Cross Country Hiroaki, No. 7 Xiandao Akira, No. 8 Uekusa Tomoyuki, and No. 13 Fukuda Ji Zhao. The match between Xiangbei University and Lingnan University has officially begun."

"Teach me a lot"

"Teach me a lot"

After the start of the game, Lingnan scored first on the court, but Xiangbei was not to be outdone. The achievements of Sakuragi in the previous special training were clearly revealed on the court. It was just that Sakuragi, who had played basketball for several months, played with a decent performance. The layup made people feel that they have improved a lot from the performance in the previous games.After that, Xiangbei was fouled because Yuzhu knocked Akagi to the ground and got two free throw opportunities. Akagi, who had not recovered from his foot injury, missed two goals in a row.

Fukuda of Lingnan attacked with the ball, and Sakuragi intercepted at the basket. Fukuda got the ball again, shot, scored, and scored. So far, No. 13 Fukuda Jizhao alone has scored in Lingnan.After that, Yuzhu scored a goal and Sendo made a pitch to increase the score to 13 to 4. At this time, Akagi was unable to perform at a normal level because of his foot injury.

Mitsui thought of Akagi, who had the same dream as himself in the national competition, and his abnormal performance on the court at the moment, and couldn't help saying excitedly, "Akagi, what's going on here, it's so easy for Xiandao to score, this game is about us. Are you going to enter the national competition!"

"Of course I know," Akagi said with a serious face.

Mu Mu off the court signaled Xiangbei to ask for a timeout.

"Mu Mu, we only have two chances for a timeout. In a situation like this, there is no need to call a timeout."

"What nonsense are you talking about, Akagi. This timeout is called at the right time. If Mr. Anzai was there, he would definitely do the same." Mitsui sat on the bench and looked at Akagi.

"It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. We mainly want to catch up with the 9-point difference." Miyagi said.

"If the gorilla can't do it, then I, Sakuragi, will decide the outcome with skills alone!"

"Can you be serious?" Rukawa returned with disdain.

"You fox man, you didn't do anything, could it be that you are afraid of the immortal way!"

"What did you say!"

Rukawa and Sakuragi were chattering as usual.

As the backbone of the team, Akagi's performance affected the entire team. Sakuragi's head hammer hit Akagi who was thinking, and Akagi hit Sakuragi with a chestnut. Sakuragi reminded the captain in his own way. Akagi Takenori, returned to the arena after the break, facing the powerful enemy Lingnan, everyone in Shonhoku regained their spirits.

After Akagi got the ball, under the defense of Yuzhu, he failed to slam dunk. He tried to slam dunk again for the second time and was stopped again. Mu's slam dunk was blocked by Xiandao, but because of Lingnan's foul, Sakuragi got two free throw opportunities. In the first free throw, Sakuragi scored a goal with his usual free throw posture from bottom to top. Missing the shot, Rukawa got the ball first. Under the joint defense of Yuzhu and Xiandao, Rukawa passed the ball and let Akagi successfully slam dunk.

However, under Lingnan's first attack, Lingnan beat Shonhoku 2-30 with 18 minutes before the end of the first half. Sakuragi was injured and replaced when he was guarding Fukuda. Responsible for Fukuda.Staring at Fukuda, compared to Sakuragi who has not been in contact with basketball for a long time, Mitsui, who has many years of experience, is much better. Mitsui, who snatched the ball from Fukuda, passed the basketball to Miyagi, and won under the defense of Xiandao. When it came to basketball, Rukawa then passed it to Mitsui, and Mitsui's three-pointer was accurately thrown into the basket.In this way, relying on Mitsui in the first half, the score was chased to a difference of 6 points, 26 to 32, and the outcome was undecided.

"Until now, Xiangbei has been supported by Mitsui in this game. Although he had a blank period, he was the number one player in the county. The reason why Xiangyang was defeated is because Because Mitsui played his true strength, everyone don’t forget! Ikegami!” Lingnan coach Tian Gang Moichi was in the lounge giving tactical guidance for the second half.

"Yes!" Lingnan's No. 5 player Ryoji Ikegami said.

"In terms of defensive power, you are number one in Lingnan, and Mitsui will be dealt with by you alone."

After the halftime break, the two sides started the game again. Rukawa, who only scored 2 points in the first half, avoided Sendo's defense as soon as he entered the field, and scored 3 points to narrow the score again.

"Go and watch No. 5, I will be in charge of Futian." Mitsui said to Sakuragi.

"What! I want to beat that guy!" Sakuragi said angrily.

"You can talk about this after you have cleaned up No. 5! You idiot!" Mitsui pushed Sakuragi, signaling him to hurry up and mark No. 5 Ikegami in Lingnan.

After Mitsui got the basketball with Miyagi's assist, he was closely watched by Lingnan's No. 5 and couldn't shoot the ball. The score with Lingnan chased to 33 to 32, and Xiangbei was only one point behind.

Afterwards, Mitsui has been keeping an eye on Fukuda's offense, and Ikegami's defense has also prevented Mitsui from continuing to score. Mitsui's physical strength is constantly being consumed. Lingnan allows Fukuda to continue to attack. If it is exhausted enough to have to leave, it will be much easier for Lingnan to deal with Xiangbei.

Due to Futian’s constant fouls during the offensive process in Lingnan and Xiangbei’s opponent’s two-meter-high fish sticks defending the middle, neither team was able to get a chance to shoot the ball. As a result, the two sides continued to exchange possession in the case of 30-second violations. right.On the other hand, Shonhoku's defense is also very tight, with Akagi against Yuzhu, Mitsui against Fukuda, and super rookie Rukawa against ace player Sendo. The hard work of the three defended and blocked Lingnan's main scorer.

Hainan, as the undefeated team in several games, has already qualified to participate in the national competition. Now, in order to compete for the last seat representing Kanagawa Prefecture to participate in the national competition, the two teams have launched an extremely fierce offensive and defensive battle.

A shot by Sendo was tied by Rukawa's subsequent three-pointer. Fukuda's goal was matched by Miyagi's fast break and Rukawa's dribble. Facing Sakuragi's defense, Yuzhu was temporarily removed from the court by the coach after four fouls. Sakuragi got two free throw opportunities, although he missed both free throws. But the second free throw allowed Sakuragi to grab the rebound and pass the ball to Mitsui. A volley dunk pulled the score to 47 to 44. The score was opened and Lingnan was in trouble.

With more than six minutes before the end of the game, Yuzhu returned to the court again. With the cooperation of Xiandao, Lingnan continued to score and the score directly caught up with Xiangbei.

Mitsui, who did not feel such a strong sense of fatigue when everything was going well and was in full swing, felt more and more tired in such a situation. Mitsui, who had already exhausted his physical strength, only felt that his eyes were gradually blurred, his whole body was stiff, and he could not use it. strength.

Yasuda Mori, who was sitting in the auditorium, looked at Mitsui who was still standing on the field, and fell down slowly. The scene in front of him appeared in his field of vision like a comic storyboard in slow motion, which made his brain go crazy. blank.

"Mitsui!"

Mitsui, who was physically exhausted, fell on the basketball court and was carried off the court.
