Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 398 The main attack in the second half!
As Shinomiya Tianye dunked Sakuragi and dunked the ball into the net, the time on the scoreboard on the sidelines had just reached zero seconds.

The long whistle of the half-time pause sounded, and Sakuragi Hanamichi, who landed extremely fast, couldn't bear the huge force of Shinomiya Tianye at all. He staggered and sat on the floor directly, looking up at Shinomiya Tanye blankly.

At the same time, the players on the field stared at Shinomiya Tianye for a while, and then all looked at the referee on the sidelines.

The referee was also a little dazed, and then turned his attention to the referee's chair on the sidelines.I saw a middle-aged man standing up on the referee's chair, making a gesture of pressing down on the goal.

Seeing the signal, the line referee leaned over and pointed his right finger to indicate that the goal is valid.

The referee judged that the goal was valid, and cheers erupted from the stands that had been a little bit silent. The Lingnan substitutes on the sidelines cheered and rushed into the field, embracing Shinomiya Tanno in the center.

"Good job, Senior Shinomiya!"

"The point difference has narrowed to two points, and the disadvantages accumulated in the first half have been wiped out!"

With the score of the first half fixed at 51:53.The players in Lingnan also breathed a sigh of relief. The point difference was close to ten points before, but now the point difference is only two points.

For Lingnan, this is already the best result.

"hateful!!!"

"This bastard!"

Different from Lingnan's cheerfulness and ease, Xiangbei's players were all silent for a while, and failed to hold the advantage in the final stage of the first half. Most of Xiangbei's players could not accept such a result.

Sakuragi stood up and punched the basketball hoop, cursed angrily, and looked at the Lingnan people who had already walked off the court.

"Well done! Well done!"

"Come on, come on, get off the court and take a rest."

"You guard beautifully, Sakuragi, next time you will definitely be able to block Shinomiya Tano."

At this moment, as if he didn't see the faces of the Xiangbei players, Mugure Gongyan walked into the field clapping, came to Sakuragi's side and patted Sakuragi's back in praise.

Mumu Gongyan's words made Yingmu Huadao subconsciously stare at him. After seeing that the person who came was Mumu, the anger on Yingmu's face disappeared, and he said with some brainlessness and distress: "Brother glasses, what are you talking about?" talk?"

"You're too unmotivated, aren't you?"

"We were 8 points ahead of our opponents at the beginning. With the unremitting efforts of the stinky fox, we only led by [-] points."

"This kind of result is obviously embarrassing! In the second half, I don't know how much I will be overtaken by the opponent."

Sakuragi Hanamichi was full of displeasure, and glanced at Rukawa Kaede who was about to walk off the court.Rukawa Feng obviously heard Sakuragi Hanamichi's words, so he glanced coldly at Sakuragi, and walked off the court silently.

Seeing that Rukawa Feng ignored him, Yingmu Huadao burst into anger again.

"Bastard, how dare you ignore this genius, I must make him look good!"

Seeing that Yingmu Huadao was angry, Mumu Gongyan quickly hugged Yinggi Huadao, smiled and comforted: "Sakuragi, don't blame Rukawa Feng, he has already played very well."

"Of course, you also played very well, and you are the pillar of our Xiangbei inside line."

"With the two of you here, we in Xiangbei can enter the second half with the lead."

"Lingnan High School was the national champion last year. Before us, no team has ever done such a thing."

"You have performed very well, Sarah, let's take a good rest first."

"Only when I have recovered my strength can I be able to cope with the next game!"

While comforting Sakuragi Hanamichi, Mugure Gongyan pulled Sakuragi towards the rest area on the sidelines.

After receiving such a hug from Mumu Gongyan, Sakuragi's mood really improved a lot, with a bright smile on his face, holding the back of his head with one hand, and said with a silly smile: "Really? Is this genius really so important?"

"Hahahaha, brother glasses, you really have a good eye, you are indeed a man with four eyes."

Mumu Gongyan also smiled gently when he heard the words, and pulled Sakuragi away from the arena.Not long after the two left the field, Jinguji Budao and others also returned to the rest area. The first-year Kiyota Nobunaga, Nango and others hurriedly handed water to Budao, Mitsui Hisashi and others.

On the other hand, the third grade Konobu Kogure and Chiba Oishi took care of the first grade Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede, handing them water and towels.

The gloom in Sakuragi's heart at this time completely dissipated in Mu Mugongyan's flattery, and he regained his optimistic personality.

And Rukawa Kaede sat on the bench, covered his head with a sweat towel, panting heavily, sweat leaked from the pores on his skin, his body and legs were covered with sweat at this time, and his jersey was also soaked in sweat.

In the game against Lingnan High School, Rukawa Kaede consumed a lot of energy. He was originally a point guard, and he frequently attacked with the ball during the game. His energy consumption was much higher than other players.

After the Xiangbei players returned to the rest area, coach Anxi did not lead the players back to the lounge, but directly let the players rest in the rest area beside the field.

As for Lingnan, Coach Tian Gang also chose the same approach as Coach Anxi.

Going back and forth between the lounge and the court will cause some slack in the players. If you are facing a weak team with a huge difference in strength, this is not a problem, but if you are facing such a strong team that is evenly matched, it is necessary for the players to maintain A certain tension.

"Budao, how are we going to play in the second half?"

Sitting on the bench, Mitsui Shou glanced at the scoreboard on the sidelines, then turned his head and asked Jinguji Budo next to him.

At this moment, he didn't choose to ask coach Anxi how to play in the second half, but instead asked about martial arts.Hisashi Mitsui knew very well that no matter what coach Anzai planned, how Shonhoku played in the second half would depend on Jinguji Budo's decision.

In northern Hunan, Jinguji Budo is enough to influence all coach Anzai's decisions.

Although coach Anxi will not completely restock the team and play pure superstar basketball like Lu's guidance, but coach Anxi's arrangement will definitely obey Budo's ideas to the greatest extent.

"How to fight?"

"My idea is to start with defense."

"In the last few minutes of the first half, our defense in Xiangbei was very problematic."

"Sakuragi and I switched defensive positions, essentially in order to limit Shinomiya Tianno's performance."

"But in the last few goals, our defensive strategy was not implemented thoroughly enough."

"And being intercepted and blocked in the frontcourt, this kind of mistake is too fatal."

"Fortunately, we have some advantages. If not, we will be behind at this moment."

"So, I want to start with the defense first."

When Jinguji Budao was speaking, he glanced at Rukawa Kaede who was sitting not far away.Then he expressed his thoughts to Mitsui Shou.Wu Dao didn't control his volume when he said these words, and the surrounding players could hear them.

The substitute players nodded when they heard this, and felt that what Wu Dao said made sense.

But Mitsui Shou could hear something different from Bu Dao's words.Although Budo deliberately avoided talking about Rukawa Kaede's handling of basketball in the last few attacks, Mitsui Shou could still hear Budo pointing to Rukawa Kaede.

Xiangbei was intercepted and blocked at the critical moment in the final stage. Part of the reason for this was that there was a problem with Rukawa Kaede's ball selection.

If he can pass to Mitsui Shou and Jinguji Budo, let alone whether the attack will succeed or not, at least such mistakes will not happen.

"Let's start with defense first, then we have to suppress the rhythm."

"We need to have plenty of time to adjust."

Although Mitsui Shou heard the implication of Bu Dao's words, he did not directly bring these matters to the table.Mitsui Shou could understand the meaning of Budo, and in order to protect Rukawa Kaede's self-esteem, the two had a tacit understanding at this moment.

"What about the attack?"

"Brother Martial Arts, how do you fight on the offensive end?"

Jinguji Budo and Mitsui Shou did not mention the tacit understanding, but it does not mean that everyone has this tacit understanding.

Sakuragi Hanamichi belongs to the kind of person who doesn't know how to "act according to people's eyes". After hearing about Budou's defensive plan, he directly asked how to attack.

Compared with how to defend, Yingmu Huadao obviously wants to know how to attack.

"."

Sure enough, Budou and Mitsui Shou fell silent after Sakuragi asked this question.Today's Xiangbei is a little different from before. As a point guard, Rukawa Kaede has his own ideas, and many times the established tactics may not be able to continue.

Instead of playing "chaotic" tactics, it is better not to formulate tactics from the beginning and let the players play freely, which is much better.

Bu Dao thought so in his heart, so he didn't answer Sakuragi's question immediately.

But at this moment, Coach Anzai, who had been sitting on the seat, stood up suddenly, walked up to Rukawa Kaede and Budo, the starting players, coughed lightly, and said:

"In the second half of the game, we use Rukawa Kaede as the core of the attack, and spread the attack!"

"Mr. Nango came on as a substitute for Mr. Sakuragi. On the offensive end, he was in charge of the power forward position. On the defensive end, he swapped with Budo and went to the outside to defend Shinomiya Tianno."

"Budo, Mitsui, Akagi, Nango, you four, attack Rukawa-san!"

Coach Anxi's decision surprised all the players. All the players looked at Coach Anxi with surprise in their eyes.

Sakuragi Hanamichi even jumped up from the seat, walked around behind Coach Anzai, slammed Coach Anzai's chin with his hand, and howled in disbelief:
"Father, are you confused?! Let the stinky fox take the main attack?!"

"Can he get there? He can't fight!"

"What's even more absurd is that you actually replaced this genius? If I'm not on the field, wouldn't we in Xiangbei be sure to lose?"

"Father, don't you know the importance of today's talent to us in Xiangbei?"

Sakuragi Hanamichi howled while pulling Coach Anzai's jaw.

Mitsui Shou couldn't see it, got up and grabbed Sakuragi's ear, pulled him away, and hit him mercilessly: "Fart, we in Xiangbei can win without you!"

"Idiot, let go of Coach Anxi."

Coach Anzai ignored Sakuragi's noise, and after laughing a few times, he squatted down in front of Rukawa Kaede and asked with a smile:

"Student Rukawa, do you have confidence in yourself?"

Coach Anxi looked at Kaede Rukawa in front of him, and pushed his glasses. Under the lens, a pair of deep eyes stared at Kaede Rukawa, waiting for Kaede Rukawa's answer.

At this time, the other Xiangbei team members all looked at Rukawa Feng and quietly held their breath.

"I have!" A cold and definite answer came out of Rukawa Feng's mouth. Hearing this, Coach Anxi nodded, then stood up, returned to his seat and sat down, picked up the teacup, I took a sip of tea.

Seeing this scene, Mitsui Shou glanced at Coach Anzai and Rukawa Kaede in surprise, then turned his head to look at Jinguji Budo.

Mitsui Shou originally thought that Jinguji Budao, who had "fallen out of favor", would be angry and unwilling at this moment.Unexpectedly, after Jinguji Budao was robbed of the main attacking position, he still looked indifferent, showing no other emotions at all.

Yingmu Huadao's struggle also weakened. He stared at Coach Anxi in a daze. He didn't expect that Coach Anxi would really give Rukawa Kaede the main attack task, and he was a little dazed for a while.

"Hey, Budao." Mitsui Shou wanted to say something comforting, but unexpectedly Budao smiled at him, and didn't take this matter to heart at all.

"Just follow Coach Anxi's instructions to play."

Bu Dao didn't wait for Mitsui Shou to open his mouth to speak, he spoke first with a flat expression.

The surrounding Xiangbei players also looked at each other, but Mitsui Hisashi was the first to react, took a deep look at Rukawa Kaede, and sighed softly.Then he walked to Rukawa Feng's side, and said earnestly:

"Ruchuan Feng, those players from Lingnan High School are not as simple as you imagine."

"You must be cautious when handling the ball. In front of Shinomiya Tianye and Sendo, you must never attack by force. You must learn to use your teammates' running positions."

"Use your own advantages reasonably. If there is a chance of dislocation, you must dislocate and attack. The target is on Fujima. If it is other players, you should give yourself some buffer space."

"Budo and I will support you behind you. If you want to pass the ball, the two of us will definitely try our best to appear by your side."

"Be careful!"

Mitsui Shou repeatedly told Rukawa Feng that he already understood the meaning of Coach Anxi, and knew the intention of Coach Anxi's arrangement.

Most likely, Coach Anxi used the help of Lingnan High School to make the young Rukawa Kaede realize what it means to "do what you can".Rukawa Kaede played fairly smoothly in the first half, and this smoothness nourished Rukawa Kaede's ambition.

But Mitsui Shou knew very well that Rukawa Feng's current strength could not support his ambition.

At least, in front of Lingnan High School, Rukawa Feng will definitely not be able to play like before.

Will hit a wall!

But obviously, it is impossible to rely on persuasion. Only by making Rukawa Feng clearly realize his own shortcomings can he return to the earlier more "reasonable" style of play.

After the offensive and defensive plan of the Xiangbei side was finalized, the rest area became quiet. Nango Koichiro held a ball and was doing a simple warm-up on the sidelines.And his actions also attracted the attention of everyone in Lingnan.

Realizing that the freshman in Xiangbei was going to play, everyone in Lingnan was also curious about why Yingmu Huadao was replaced. From the perspective of everyone in Lingnan, Yingmu Huadao played well in the first half, and he scored a few rebounds. He also did a great job and shouldn't be replaced.

However, they obviously couldn't get an answer to such a question.

After watching for a while, everyone in Lingnan also chatted and rested on their own, discussing how to play in the second half.

The intermission time passed quietly in this quiet and tense atmosphere.
