Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 148 Fight to the death, the king fights for his life!
In the eyes of a famous coach like Gao Tou, this game is actually over.

Although Coach Gaotou already believed that his team had no hope of winning, when he talked to the players, he would not tell them directly to let them give up.

You can have ideas, but you can't say this to these young people.

"Everyone, come here!"

After a long silence, coach Gaotou stood up from his seat, turned around, waved to the players who were resting on the bench, and said.The Hainan players who heard Coach Gaotou's words all leaned forward, and some substitute players who had never played before surrounded Coach Gaotou, and everyone's eyes were focused on Coach Gaotou.

"We in Hainan have no way out!"

"I lost to Lingnan before, and if I lose to Xiangbei again, I won't even qualify for the national competition."

"The Hainan High School I teach absolutely does not allow this to happen!"

Although Coach Gaotou already knows the hard power gap between Hainan and Xiangbei, he still hopes that the players will still maintain their desire for victory. If the players are allowed to give up like this, it will deal a blow to these young children.

And this level of blow is likely to affect their future basketball path.Let the players give it a go, even if they lose to Xiangbei, it will not affect the mentality of the players.

"The strength of Xiangbei High School is very strong. I think you all know this and have already experienced it."

"It's the luck of your class to be able to play against a team like them."

"Only by playing against a strong team can we become stronger!"

"Shohoku's weakness on the court is the shortest Miyagi Ryota. In the second half of the game, everyone should focus on this point to attack."

"Dazheng, if you can't attack, you can give the ball to Amu and the others, and use the pick-and-roll method to make Amu and the opponent form a misalignment."

"The Xiangbei side has also realized the weakness of their team. With Jinguji Budo supporting the inside line, the offensive pressure from the outside line will not be so great."

"Seize this gap, organize the offense well, and bite the score."

"Play steadily, don't think about using three-pointers to narrow the score. Our team doesn't have players who are good at three-pointers. You just need to grasp every mistake that Xiangbei makes, and turn every opportunity into a score. There is still hope of victory! "

"On the defensive end, I need you to do your best to defend and don't spare your strength. At this moment, we in Hainan are already on the edge of a cliff, and there is no way out!"

Coach Gaotou has enough time to arrange tactics for the players at this moment, but at this time, he did not make any major tactical adjustments, but repeatedly emphasized the importance of "stabilizing the mentality" to the players.In the case of a large score behind, the mentality of the players is what the high head coach pays most attention to at this time.

"Yes!!" Hainan's players listened to Coach Gao's arrangement and agreed in unison.Everyone can understand the intention of the high-level coach, but in fact, how many people can still maintain a competitive state under such pressure, that's God knows.

Compared with the dignified atmosphere in Hainan, Xiangbei is much more relaxed.

During the 10-minute intermission, coach Anxi did not take the players back to the lounge to rest, but let the players stay in the arena to rest.Some of the Xiangbei team members chatted with each other, and some of the first graders went outside to buy drinks for the team members.Several players on the court, such as Mitsui Hisashi and Budo, sat on their seats and rested quietly.

The stands, which were originally full of seats, now have a lot of seats vacant. Some are going to let the water go, and some are sitting bored to let the wind go.

Sakuragi Hanamichi and Mito Yohei leaned leisurely against the wall, observing the two resting teams.

"Haruko, you should be losing this Hainan High School match, right?"

"In this way, Brother Wu Dao and the others will be the strongest team if they win Hainan? Then they will play a game with Lingnan, and then they will be gone after receiving the certificate?"

Yingmu Huadao had never cared about IH before, and his eyes were dark about the competition schedule.

"This is just a county competition. After the county competition, there will be a national competition."

"Brother, if they can win Hainan, then the No. 2 guarantee is already locked in the qualifying place."

"Qualifying means that they can participate in the national competition, and after that, they will play against masters from all over the country."

Akagi Haruko patiently explained to Sakuragi that she is in a pretty good mood now, and she did not expect that Xiangbei High School could lead Hainan by a big score in the first half.Xiangbei was able to obtain such a big advantage, and she was also happy for her brother.

"Fight against masters from all over the country!" Yingmu Huadao murmured, imagining the corresponding scene in his mind, a little fascinated.Until now, Sakuragi Hanamichi had a concrete understanding of the phrase "dominate the whole country" that Akagi Takenori said.

And the goal of "dominating the whole country" silently planted seeds in Sakuragi's heart.

The 10-minute intermission time passed very quickly, and the spectators who released the water and released the wind gradually returned to the stadium.Five minutes before the start of the second half, Budo Jinguji stood up from his seat and began to stretch, ready to play.

Several team members in Xiangbei saw that Wu Dao was preparing so seriously, and they all followed suit.

Coach Anxi originally intended to remind the players not to take it lightly, but when he saw a player stretching early, he swallowed the words back.When I look at Jinguji Budo, I am satisfied and gratified.

Budo is now the real trump card of the team. A qualified trump card should correctly guide the atmosphere of the entire team. This point, without his coach Anzai reminding, Jinguji Budo has already done a good job .

"Beep beep!" Not long after, a hurried whistle sounded in the field, and the intermission time passed.

As the players of the two teams returned to the field, there were deafening cheers from the stands.

The players on the Xiangbei side have not changed much, Akagi, Chiba Oishi, Mitsui Hisashi, and two first-year players Jinguji Budo and Miyagi Ryota.

On the other side of Hainan, however, there have been some changes. Kazuma Takasago, who was acting as a power forward, was replaced. The replacement player was a boy wearing a No. 11 jersey. He was about 185cm tall. From him and A Mu and others Judging from the appearance of the communication, it should be a third-year player, a new face.

"Hainan, there's a replacement!" Mitsui Hisashi, Budao and others walked into the court. He also noticed the change in Hainan's personnel, and whispered to Budao beside him.

"We, do we want to change?" Mitsui Shou asked Budao in a low voice, he was not sure what kind of team Hainan is now.

"Let's maintain the previous tactical play first, and the focus of defense is on the inside and supplementing defense against Miyagi."

"Play a few rounds and see what his style of play is."

Wu Dao whispered back, and soon, he settled down in the middle circle with his team members.At the beginning of the second half, it was time to jump the ball again. Following the referee's whistle, Akagi Takenori and Hainan's Maekawa Daiki stood on the center line.

After a sharp whistle sounded, Akagi and Maekawa Daiki flew into the air together and hit the basketball one after the other.

Although Takenori Akagi's skills are not as good as Daiki Maekawa's, his physical fitness is not inferior to the opponent at all. Akagi's control of the timing of the jump ball this time is also quite good. Although the opponent also caught the basketball, the ball is still as Akagi expected. As he said, he flew towards Jinguji Budo.

"Well done, Akagi!" Jinguji Budou, who received the jump ball, was also a little surprised. He knew the gap between Akagi and the opponent, but he didn't expect that Akagi won the jump ball.

Jinguji Budo, who got the basketball, immediately dribbled the ball towards the frontcourt without any hesitation.

It was Mu Shenyi who defended Jinguji Budo. The moment Budo got the basketball, he stuck to Budo, and he didn't shy away from body collisions at all, and didn't want Budo to speed up at all.

Even though Mu Shenyi's height was much lower than that of Wu Dao, the force of the collision was enough to affect the rhythm of Bu Dao's dribbling. Jinguji Bu Dao's single-handed down was quickly resolved by Mu Shenyi without making a sound.

Bu Dao, whose rhythm was affected, had to slow down, allowing Mu Shen to go around in front of him, and then used intermittent stops and starts to approach the three-point line with the ball.

By the time Budao reached the three-point line, everyone in Xiangbei had already completed their positions. When everyone in Xiangbei had completed their positions, Hainan's defense also pressed up.

The enthusiasm of the Hainan players who were going to give it a go was obviously different from that in the first half. They didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​​​reserving their physical strength. Almost all of them adopted a sticky defensive strategy.

The new NO.11 was stuck to Mitsui Hisashi's side, Daimasa Shifu went to Chiba Oishi, and that Akun was firmly stuck to Miyagi's side, Miyagi Not to mention that Liangtian has a good position to catch the ball, it is extremely difficult to even get out of the open space.

On the contrary, it was Takenori Akagi on the inside, who stood in a very comfortable position, and Daiki Maekawa did not press too much. Judging from his appearance, he seemed not to care whether Akagi was catching the ball or not.

"Akagi was emptied in disguise, did you ask me to give the ball to Akagi?"

"It's a small defensive trap, thanks to them thinking of it."

Jinguji Budo looked around and found that almost all the players on the Xiangbei side were in a state of being closely guarded, and it wasn't that they couldn't catch the ball. If Mitsui Shou and the others were forced to catch the ball, there would be a risk of being intercepted. On the other hand, Akagi has a pretty good position and is very empty around, making him the best choice for receiving the ball.

If you change to an open position to hold the ball, you will definitely give the ball to Akagi inside.

But Jinguji Budao knows what Hainan's plan is.Akagi can catch the ball, but what about offense?In front of Maekawa Daiki, Akagi's offense looked very hip.Let Akagi attack independently, the probability of success is too low.

But if you don't pass the ball, there is only one choice for martial arts.

"Do you think you can guard against me? Mu Shenyi."

Budou stood upright, dribbled the ball with his right hand, maintained a high center of gravity, and said suddenly.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's attack!" Mu Shen smiled, and also slightly raised his center of gravity, he was afraid that the martial arts would be overwhelmed.

Jinguji Budo is not talking nonsense, the attack time has passed nearly ten seconds, and he has been sticking to the ball for too long.After making the decision, Bu Dao quickly leaned over with his arms wide open, like an eagle spreading its wings.

Without waiting for Mu Shen to make any moves, Jinguji Budao stepped forward with his left foot and directly made a sideways breakthrough.Although Mu Shenyi's reaction was a little slower, his body still slammed into Wu Dao's body. Although his movements were fierce, they did not attract the referee's whistle.

Such an action is actually regarded as a reasonable action.

"Huh?!" The moment Mu Shen's body bumped into Budao, Budao felt the weight on his side, the rhythm of dribbling was affected, and he didn't dare to rush forward with the ball without thinking. There was an instant pause, and Budao switched the basketball from his crotch When he reached his left hand, he changed direction directly and advanced from the left.

Jinguji Martial Art is very proficient in changing directions during the march, and the speed hardly decreases. In the blink of an eye, he directly passed Mu Shenyi, and with the Budo strides towards the basket, he was still about three meters away from the basket. , Budo tossed the ball with his left hand, grabbed the ball directly two steps later, and layup with one hand.

Although Mu Shenyi caught up in time, Jinguji Budao's height, wingspan, and bounce were stronger than Mu Shenyi's. His chasing defense could not stop Budao's layup at all. As for Maekawa Daiki who was under the basket, he was just now Being led to the other side by Akagi, it was too late to defend.Jinguji Budo's breakthrough speed was too fast, even Mu Shenyi couldn't limit his speed.

"Shua!" With a soft sound, the basketball hit the net.

Cheers erupted from Xiangbei's side, and then the players began to rush back to the field.For Jinguji Wudao's stand-up singles, everyone in northern Hunan is no longer surprised, let alone Mu Shenyi, the Sigong Tianye and Xiandao in the south of Lingnan may not be able to stop Jinguji Wudao's attack.

Soon, everyone in Hainan adjusted their mentality and began to fight back. After receiving the advice from the high-level coach, everyone in Hainan focused on Miyagi.The players covered each other, creating an opportunity for Mu Shenyi to take Miyagi alone. When Mu Shenyi pushed the bulldozer, Miyagi was no match at all.But Miyagi also has the character of not admitting defeat, and his defensive actions are obviously much bigger.

But the result was that Miyagi got a foul just at the start of the second half, and Mu Shenyi also threw the ball and scored.

With Mu Shen's steady free throws one by one, Hainan successfully scored two plus one, pulling back the score by one point.

In the second half of the game, the situation of the two teams became stalemate. Hainan defended desperately, and the offensive end stared at Ryota Miyagi to attack wildly.On the Xiangbei side, relying on Jinguji Budo's excellent personal ability and the open shooting opportunities that Mitsui Shou occasionally obtained with the help of his teammates, he still maintains a considerable lead.

For a while, although the point difference between the two teams did not narrow significantly, the battle situation was far more intense than that of Shan halftime.Whether it is the Xiangbei team or the Hainan team, the rate of physical energy consumption has increased sharply.

In the 10 minutes of the second half, the score of the two teams reached 77:64, and the point difference narrowed to 13 points. With the decline of Jinguji Budou's physical fitness, his offensive efficiency is not as terrible as in the first half, but he is so alive, Xiangbei The rebound here also fell.

"Drink ah ah ah ah!!!"

With the loud shouts from the basket, the rebound was controlled by Maekawa Daiki.Jinguji Budo missed a mid-range shot, which gave Hainan a chance to counterattack quickly.With Akun scoring a layup in the frontcourt, the point difference between the two teams came to 11 points.

In the transition between offense and defense, Miyagi took the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Jinguji Budo. After catching the ball, Budo was immediately caught by Mu Shen, and Maekawa Daiki on the inside line also raised his position slightly, faintly guarding Mu. There is a large area behind the gentleman.

In the second half, thanks to the efforts of Mu Shenyi and Maekawa Daiki, Jinguji Budo was slightly limited. Although Budo with reduced physical fitness was still able to pass the two of them, but against the defensive force, the hit rate was lower. is greatly reduced.

After all, if Budao can maintain a hit rate of nearly 70% of the audience, it would be too scary.

Now the biggest problem for Xiangbei is the rebounding.Akagi Takenori has only gotten 2 rebounds since the second half.

Another weakness of Xiangbei High School was exposed to Hainan as the game progressed.

"Before I was shocked by the performance of Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Shou, I almost forgot that the foundation of Xiangbei High School is quite ordinary!"

"If we continue to fight like this, there will be a turning point in the game!"

Coach Gaotou has adjusted his mentality for a while, and unfolded the folding fan in his hand, fanning the wind gently, looking like a romantic old man.
