Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 385 Continue to advance to the top four!
The match between Lingnan High School and Luoan started with only a round of offense and defense, and Ashio Izumi was carried out of the court under the watchful eyes of the audience and players.

This sudden change caught everyone off guard.

Shinomiya Tianye originally thought that the opponent was just being carried off the court for a while, but unexpectedly, the opponent was directly carried out of the court. It seemed that the opponent was going to be sent to the hospital urgently.

The chief culprit of all this, Shinomiya Tianye also had dull eyes. He really couldn't figure out how the opponent could be so fragile, and fell down as soon as he hit it. Moreover, he was carried out of the court directly after falling down.

"Hey, Tian Ye, this move of yours directly helped us to win the victory in Lingnan!"

Akira Xiandou also stared blankly at Ashio Izumi, who was being surrounded by people and carried out of the arena, and couldn't help but speak eccentrically to Shinomiya Tianye beside him.

"."

"It's too brittle, I didn't use any force at all!"

"It's just a layup. This level of physical confrontation is nothing at all, right?"

Shinomiya Tianye retracted his gaze and said helplessly.His attack was just a normal layup with the ball together. He didn't even intend to collide with the opponent on purpose, and the opponent took the initiative to meet him. In this way, he was injured and left the field. Shinomiya Tianye was also unexpected.

Aso Izumi's injury and retirement was indeed beyond everyone's expectations. The players in Luoan stared angrily at Shinomiya Tianno when they saw their teammates being carried out of the field.Shinomiya Tianye noticed the gaze of the Luoan players, and also showed embarrassment.

After the referee confirmed that Aso Izumi had no way to continue playing, he urged Luoan's coach to send a substitute to play. At the same time, the timer on the sidelines also entered a 1-minute countdown, and Luoan was only given 1 minute to arrange a substitute. players.

The 1-minute countdown passed quickly, and not long after, players from both sides returned to the court.

The backup center replaced by Luo An is only 190cm tall. Although in the high school basketball arena, the height of the center has already crushed the center players of many schools.

But this is the third round of the national competition after all, and a center of this height is not very eye-catching among the many teams that have advanced.

Moreover, compared with the 212cm of Luoan High School's starting center Aso Izumi, the 190cm tall center is really a bit weak.

After the injury time ended, Luo An served in the backcourt.

Luoan's defenders received the ball in the backcourt and slowly advanced towards the frontcourt. At the same time, other Luoan players also quickly entered the frontcourt and quickly settled in the Lingnan half.

Luoan's backup center quickly entered the basket with his teammates advancing, stood in front of Jun Uozumi, and sank to the center line with his back to the basket.Yuzu lowered his head slightly, glanced at the center forward who was more than ten centimeters shorter than him, and shook his head slightly.

too weak!

Uozumi just leaned his body towards Luoan's backup center, and in just a few breaths, Uozumi directly pushed his opponent away from the basket with great strength.Luo An, the backup center, is not at the same level as Uozumi in strength.

"hateful!"

Luo An's team seems to have long been accustomed to playing tactics around big centers.The tactical system that these players know also seems to be executed around the center.

At this time, Quan Yaxian was injured and retired, and the backup center had no way to occupy a good position in the interior. It seemed that Luo An's players couldn't play anymore.

The Luoan defender who entered the frontcourt with the ball saw that the "big center" was squeezed out of the inside line, and suddenly lost his mind.

Uecao Zhizhi saw that the opponent's sticky ball took a long time, so he immediately posted it.Xiandao, who was not far away, also made a move at this moment, and quickly rushed towards Luoan's point guard, and immediately formed a double-team with Zhiyu Uedao.

Under the defensive pressure of Akira Xiando and Tomoyuki Uecao, Luoan's point guard passed the ball in a hurry, but such a pass allowed Lingnan's players to seize the opportunity.

Shinomiya Tianye simply reached out to block, and easily intercepted the opponent's pass, then took the ball and rushed towards Luoan's basket quickly.

The sturdy Shinomiya Tianye's speed with the ball is also quite terrifying. In the blink of an eye, he has already dribbled the ball and surpassed many Luoan players on the field.

The pass was cut off, and Luo An's players hurried back to stop the fast-attacking Shinomiya Tianye, but their pursuit speed was not enough in front of Shinomiya Tianye.

"Dangdang!"

The people in Luo'an who returned to defense had just run near the three-point line, and Shinomiya Tianye had already dribbled the ball into the basket, jumped with the ball, and poured the ball into the basket with one hand.

The terrifying force shook the entire basketball hoop violently.

The Luoan team members who were chasing Sigong Tianye were also staring blankly at Sigong Tianye who was grabbing the basket with one hand.None of them thought that this muscular Shinomiya Tianye would have such terrifying speed. They chased him in a timely manner, but they were still dragged several meters away by Sinomiya Tianye.

This terrifying athletic ability was beyond the expectations of the Luo'an players.

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, Shinomiya Tianye let go of his right hand grabbing the basket, and fell back to the ground steadily.Until he landed, the basketball hoop was still shaking.

Shinomiya Tianye raised his eyes and glanced at the Luoan players not far away, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that your center forward would be injured."

"I didn't mean to. My hands and feet are actually clean."

"You don't have to worry about it, just focus on the game and go all out to defend."

After finishing speaking, Shinomiya Tianye raised his footsteps and ran towards the front field slowly. He thought that the opponent did not chase him because the opponent was afraid of his strength and did not dare to come up to defend.

However, the fact is that the speed of several players in Luo'an can't keep up with him at all.

Shinomiya Tianye has long been used to facing tough opponents, and these players in Luo'an are not on the same level as him at all.

This fast break from Lingnan High School also officially explained to the audience the gap in hard power between Luoan High School and Lingnan High School.A single player like Shinomiya Tianye quickly attacked Luo'an, let alone resisted, and couldn't even keep up.

When this disparity in individual strength is placed in a game, it quickly becomes a disparity in strength between teams.

This gap in strength was quickly reflected in the score.

At the end of the first half, the point difference between the two teams came to 55:16, and the point difference reached a terrifying 39 points.

After the first half, Coach Tianoka replaced Shinomiya Tano and Sendo, as well as Uozumi Jun inside, and replaced them with a group of substitutes.

When the second half started, Lingnan's players were the second-year center, Sugahira, the second-year guard, Uekusa Tomoyuki, the third-year power forward Ryoji Ikegami, the second-year small forward Yoshio Fukuda, and the second-year point guard Fujima Kenji.

Coach Tianoka did not replace all the ace-level players. After replacing the two scorers Shinomiya Tano and Sendo, he replaced Fujima and Fukuda.

After Lingnan High School replaced Shinomiya Tianye and Xiandao, the two scoring champions, the offense in the second half was not much weaker, but Lingnan High School's defense was much weaker than that in the first half.

And this kind of defensive strength also made the players of Luo An really breathe a sigh of relief.

In the second half of the match between Lingnan and Luo'an, they also played back and forth. Compared with the crushing situation in the first half, the match in the second half will be more exciting.

However, the advantage Lingnan led by Shinomiya Tianye established in the first half was too huge. Even if Luo An's players worked hard in the second half, it was impossible to make up such a disparity.

At the end of the game, Lingnan High School won the game 98:60, with a point difference of 38 points.

In the stands, Xiangbei High School did not stay in the arena to watch other teams' games after watching the Lingnan High School game.

For Xiangbei, the team they need to pay attention to most in this national competition is Lingnan, which is also in Kanagawa County. The strength of other teams is meaningless to Xiangbei.

The Xiangbei team members who returned to the hotel early were not idle. They took out the video of the previous Urayasu commercial game, analyzed the opponents in the next game, and collectively watched the video of several games of Lingnan High School in this national competition. .

Although all Xiangbei players watched the Lingnan game, there is still a difference between watching the scene and analyzing the game video.

But even though that is the case, Lingnan High School has not fully demonstrated their full strength since they played on the stage of the national competition.These game videos have little effect on Xiangbei.

In the evening, the Xiangbei players who had dinner studied the competition route for a while, and then took an early rest.

Adequate rest and sleep can allow Xiangbei players to quickly recover. They still attach great importance to tomorrow's 8-to-4 game!

The next day.

In the Hiroshima Arena.

The Xiangbei players who arrived at the venue early in the morning began to enter the arena to warm up, and their opponent was Urayasu Commercial.

One is the favorite to win the national competition, and the other is the A-level threshold team that is struggling to qualify.

Normally, this is a game without any suspense at all. After all, the gap between the two teams is really too big.But Xiangbei's game lineup today has a group of immature first-year players.

This made the originally unsuspenseful game start to look interesting.

Among the first-year players in Xiangbei, Rukawa Kaede is undoubtedly the ace in scoring, and all of Xiangbei's own players think so.

But when the actual game was played, Kiyota Nobunaga, who was the point guard, didn't pass the ball to Rukawa Kaede at all.Either, he broke through on his own and forced a layup, or he attracted the double-team and then passed the ball to Komi Ichiro who was open.

Most of the time, he used this game as a stage for his own performance, making all kinds of breakthrough shots.

Kiyota Nobunaga's offensive efficiency is not very high, and he misses a lot of shots. This also gives Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango Koichiro a chance to shine.

For a while, all four players from Xiangbei played well. On the contrary, as a small forward, Kaede Rukawa often took a long time to touch the basketball, and no one passed the ball to him at all.

"It's really messing around."

The offense of Xiangbei High School was completely disordered. The offensive tactics such as splitting and bull-horn offense learned by the first graders were not used at all in this game.

Some are only singles or singles.

Mitsui Shou looked at the first graders playing nonsense, with black lines all over their heads.

However, the situation of the game did not lose control because of the random beating in Xiangbei High School.

Although the players of Urayan Commercial Co., Ltd. cooperated tacitly and their defensive rotation was quite timely, facing the group of talented players in Xiangbei, Urayan Commercial could not stop Xiangbei's attack at all.
At the same time, although Yingmu Huadao and others competed to perform on the offensive end, they played their own.

But when it comes to defense, these five people become very tacit understanding again, the defensive rotation does not need to communicate at all, often with a look, each other knows each other's intentions and switches defenses.

To a certain extent, the five of them, Sakuragi Flower Road and Rukawa Kaede, can be regarded as having a tacit understanding.
The first graders in Xiangbei are superior in both offense and defense, and the balance of victory is also tilting towards Xiangbei High School.

When the final whistle sounded, Xiangbei won the game with 83:66.

The first graders who won the victory also cheered loudly with pride. With their own efforts, they "led" Xiangbei to the semi-finals!
"Hahaha, I am indeed a genius. Under the leadership of this genius, Xiangbei has created the best result in history!"

"Thanks to my uncle's performance, we in Xiangbei can win, and I am the biggest contributor to the victory!"

"Hey, wild monkey, what nonsense are you talking about?! The credit is my genius!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi and Kiyota Nobunaga were arguing and asking for merit. Budao looked at these noisy guys and covered his head with a headache.

So far, Xiangbei High School has successfully won the first place in Group A, won the top four seats, and advanced to the semi-finals!

In the game against Urayasu, the Xiangbei players played very easily. In tomorrow's game, everyone will be in the best condition!
After the match between Xiangbei and Urayan Business, the next match is the match between Lingnan High School and Houguan High School. The winning side will be able to become the first place in Group B and win the top four seats. At that time, the winning side will face the first place in Group A. One Xiangbei High School.

The strength of Houguan High School is not strong, they are just a team with a B-level rating after enjoying the bonus of grouping.The game against Lingnan High School had already surrendered after less than half the game.

Lingnan, who defeated Houguan, also advanced to the semi-finals, and their players did not consume much. It is foreseeable that after a day's rest, Lingnan's players can also return to their prime.

After the game in the morning, both Xiangbei and Lingnan knew who their opponents would be in the next game, so they returned to the hotel early without going to the game in the afternoon.

In the afternoon when Lingnan and Xiangbei were absent, the Affiliated High School of Hakata Business University in Group C and Aihe College in Group D won the final victory of their respective groups and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Tomorrow's game will be Xiangbei in Group A against Lingnan in Group B; Hakata Business University Affiliated in Group C against Aihe College in Group D.

The national competition has officially entered the most intense stage.

This morning.

The media from all over the country arrived at the venue early, set up the machines, and prepared to witness the next semi-finals and finals.

In the stands, the crowd was surging, and the spectators who watched the game sat down early and looked at the stadium excitedly.There were even blond-haired and blue-eyed foreign friends who walked to the front row, looked around the stadium briefly, then looked towards the player tunnel, and said to themselves:
"I don't know how Wu's team is doing."

"If you don't play well at Oak Hill Academy, what's the point of coming to a place like this to play high school?"

"Today I want to see, Nihong, what opponents are there, worthy of Wu's attention."
