Heizi's Basketball: I'm not the boss?

Chapter 137 Yuuki’s little thoughts

"The competition format of the national competition summer competition is different from that of the Winter Cup. Even if you are the champion, there is no such mechanism as a walk-off. Every team has to start over one game at a time!"

In the Kaijo Arena, Takeuchi was holding a tactical board in his hand and was explaining the summer game schedule to everyone. Of course, he was mainly explaining it to the first-year students.

"The national competition is divided into four divisions. Each division starts with a knockout round. At the end, four teams are determined and a 4-in-3 round-robin competition is held. The team that stands out in the end will win the official spot of the national competition. Qualification for the competition!”

Takeuchi's voice was dull, like chanting a sutra, but it was not his fault. After all, he had to chant like this every year when new students entered the club.

They were all clichés. The attention of veterans like Kise Xiangyan had already flown to nowhere, and the others were similar. Only Yuuki and Hiroshi Ohara listened with serious expressions.

A week has passed since the first private event "Freshman Cup" ended.

During this period, Xiangyang, as the captain, has already decided on the starting five for this year's Kaizune. After communicating with Takeuchi, he has finalized the substitute places one by one. During normal training, Yuuki and Ohara Hiroshi have already followed the main selection. Trained together.

"Although the team as a whole achieved very good results last year, it is worth being happy. But in the new year, we still cannot slack off and must go all out in every game. Our goal is still the championship!"

Xiang Yang plucked his ears and didn't take his coach's words seriously. Is this guy talking nice now and trying his best in every game?When it comes to the preliminaries, he is probably so arrogant that his opponents will not even study them. You know, in the past, studying opponents was done by Kasamatsu-senpai.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength.

But when faced with a fly, the lion would just wave his hand impatiently.

Xiangyang decided to respect his coach's will and study his opponents before the game?

Sorry, Hai Chang has no opponents in this competition area.

"Ugh... I've almost finished talking about it. Let's have a training match today."

Takeuchi touched his smooth chin, glanced at everyone present, and after a brief thought, decided on the lineups for both sides.

"Kise and Yuuki's family, Xiang Yang and Kobori, plus Hiroshi Ohara, that's it. The other members on both sides will pick each other from Xiang Yang and fight for two periods."

Takeuchi slapped his head, and after a few simple arrangements, he handed over the matter to Xiang Yang. I don't know if it was because he was spoiled by the reliable Kasamatsu-senpai, but Takeuchi's professional attitude has become worse and worse recently!It even feels like lying down in advance, eating and waiting to die...

Xiang Yang put his hands on his hips and watched with a speechless expression as Coach Takeuchi swayed back to the office with a beer belly. He couldn't help but complain: "Is he Coach Kaijo or me? Why do I feel like everything is all about me?" What are you doing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Yang turned around and found that all his players were looking at him eagerly, waiting for his arrangement.

Xiang Yang:…

"You, you, and that one over there, don't look around, I'm talking about you..."

Xiang Yang rubbed his eyebrows and raised his right hand to select a few substitutes, who joined Kise's team and his own team respectively.

As referee Hai Chang blew his whistle, this training match, which could be said to be arranged by Xiang Yang, began.

Kise ran to Yuuki with a smile, gave him a high five, and at the same time looked at Xiang Yang with a provocative look on his face, and said: "Xiao Yang, although you are the captain, Yuuki and I will not show mercy. .”

This guy…

A tic-tac-toe appeared above Xiangyang's head, and he said with a smile not to be outdone: "Two geniuses, if you two still lose to us together, will you cry?"

It was obviously just a training match, but everyone in the audience seemed to smell the smell of gunpowder and cheered for the two teams on the field. However, in terms of momentum alone, the popularity of Kise's team was still higher than that of Xiangyang's team. , after all, he is a man with his own cheerleading team. When it comes to cheering, especially for idols, the fighting ability of girls is not inferior to that of boys.

Not only Kise, but also Yuuki also unknowingly gained a group of small cheerleaders. Although the scale is not as large as Kise's, it is enough to make others envious and jealous.

"Damn, the popularity of these two guys is so good that it makes people angry."

Xiang Yang spat and stared at the cheerleaders off the field with a pair of dead eyes, the envy on his face almost overflowing!
It would be great if Ms. Masako could cheer me on like this...

After sighing, Xiangyang did not forget to encourage his teammates after daydreaming.He went around in a circle, patted his teammates' butts one by one, and said with a smile: "Boys, let the big stars over there taste the taste of failure!"

"Hi!"

……

beep—

The whistle sounded, and since it was just a training match, Kise didn't go out of his way to stand in the center circle to compete with Kobori for the jump ball, so the right to attack first came to Xiang Yang without any surprise.

Slowly dribbling the ball across the half court, Xiangyang looked at Yuuki, who looked a little nervous in front of him, and thought about the attack plan.

As for the first ball...play it a bit more normally.

Xiang Yang made up his mind, raised his hand to wave to Hiroshi Ohara on the right, and asked for a pick-and-roll. Then he used his breakthrough advantage to successfully cooperate with Hiroshi Ohara who followed him down, and completed the score!
Hiroshi Ohara, who received Xiangyang's assist for the goal, was filled with excitement on his face. He beat his chest with both hands and vented his emotions loudly.

Senior Xiangyang’s pass... was great...

The loudness of his celebration shocked Xiang Yang. He turned to look at Hiroshi Ohara, who was still in a state of excitement, scratched his head and sighed, "It's good to be young."

On the other side, Kise couldn't stand it anymore. He waited for Yuuki to pass halftime and immediately ran to the three-point line to ask for the ball. Facing Kise, Yuuki naturally refused [-]% of the time. Maybe, pass the ball directly.

"It's just a goal. If you celebrate so loudly, it will stimulate the opponent's fighting spirit."

Kise licked his lips, glanced at the defender in front of him, made a simple three-threat breakthrough, and rushed into the penalty area in an instant!

However, Xiaojue and Ohara Hiroshi had been prepared for a long time. They didn't expect that Kise would be guarded outside the three-point line.

"How can I let you pass so easily!"

Kobori roared angrily, and cooperated with Ohara Hiroshi to double-team Kise. The joint attack of the two strong men would make ordinary people feel guilty even if they would not make mistakes.

Unfortunately, this person is Kise.

Holding his breath and concentrating, Kise's expression did not change at all. Faced with the two men's defense, he jumped up, raised the basketball high above his head, and dunked.

Seeing this situation, Kobori and Hiroshi Ohara jumped up decisively. If they were put together, even if the opponent was Kise, it would be impossible to dunk them both!

This ball was defended!

A trace of confidence flashed in Kobori's wise eyes, but before he could be happy, Kise slapped him in the face with action.

Xiao Hori's judgment is correct. Even for Kise, it is not easy to complete the dunk in this situation. Unfortunately, there are many other things besides the dunk in the rules.

Kise in the air was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, he maintained the posture of lifting the ball and jumped forward along his center of gravity. His bounce was really exaggerated. It was obvious that he took off earlier than Kobori and the other two, but he stayed in the air like a cheat. Ability, but he had to wait for an opening.

Sensing the opportunity coming, Kise raised the corners of his mouth slightly, put the ball into his abdomen, and then made a layup from the left hand side, successfully pulling the lever to score!
Oh woo~

Everyone on the field couldn't help but exclaimed, this goal is like a work of art, it deserves their praise!

Those fangirls are even more crazy, screaming and whistling. If you just capture this picture, you can hardly imagine that they usually look as quiet as virgins.

On the court, Yuuki looked at Kise's back with little yellow stars in his eyes. If he could pass the ball to such a person, he would die without regrets~
Xiang Yang looked at his old partner scoring easily over his teammates, and shook his head helplessly. It was really no wonder that they were there. Even if he were to replace him, it would at most be a little more difficult for this pervert to score.

In fact, let alone "zone", Kise didn't even open "perfect imitation"!

This guy is no longer an opponent that can be defended just by relying on numbers.

Realizing that no matter how hard they tried, they would never be able to guard against Kise, Xiangyang showed a touch of relief on his face. He clapped his hands to attract the attention of his teammates and said loudly: "It doesn't matter, let him attack, as long as he scores in the end." If there are more than them, victory is still ours!”

Since there is no way to prevent you from scoring, then I will score too, which means your score is invalid!

Offense is the best defense. In basketball, this sentence is indeed half a truth!

So next, both sides started a point-grabbing battle. The Kise family couldn't handle the pick-and-roll offensive with Xiangyang as the core. Just a small pick-and-roll could give Xiangyang countless ways to score goals. Plus Hiroshi Ohara!With his strong body, he is also very good in pick-and-roll situations.

Kise tentatively cooperated with Yuuki and used a two-person zone defense to break Xiangyang's double pick-and-roll. Unfortunately, there were three of them. Even if they could barely watch Xiangyang, Kobori and Ohara Hiroshi followed, the inside line would also be destroyed. Although Hai Chang's average strength is good, but they are the substitutes who are required to guard Xiaobori?It is really difficult to force others to do so.

At the end of the first half, the score was 31:32, and the Kise family had a slight advantage.

Xiang Yang and Kise reached a consensus before the game that they would conduct training matches on a normal basis. If the two of them burst into the "zone" one after another, the game would become two of them. Training matches, training matches, If no one else is participating, then why is there any need to train?
Under this premise, not only Kobori, but also Yuuki and even Hiroshi Ohara can gain considerable training significance in training matches.

However, even if Xiangyang challenged Yuuki on a regular basis, he still maintained an advantageous position. Although Yuuki was very talented and posed a great offensive threat to the Xiangyang family, he could feel that he was invisible. It was a strange feeling to be suppressed by Xiang Yang, but he could feel it!

During the intermission, Yuuki looked at Kise hesitantly, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Ryota-senpai, what are the differences between me and Xiangyang-senpai?"

Hearing this, Kise, who was drinking water to replenish his strength, couldn't help but be startled. He put down the water bottle and asked, "What's wrong, Yuuki-chan?"

"It's nothing... I just feel that, for some reason, Senior Xiangyang seems to be a little better than me."

Yuuki said hesitantly, but then he seemed to realize that what he said was inappropriate, and he waved his hands in a panic and said: "Ryota-senpai! I don't mean to look down on Xiangyang-senpai, I just... want to find my own shortcomings."

Kise looked at his cute junior with a smile from the corner of his eyes. Of course he could tell that Yuuki didn't mean to belittle Xiang Yang.

"Okay, okay, I know."

Kise patted Yuuki on the shoulder and motioned him to sit down, then rubbed his chin and thought: "I don't know what makes Xiao Xiangyang better than you, but just talking about the differences, I still know a lot. oh!"

"After all, I've caught passes from that guy no matter how many times."

Yuuki's eyes lit up at Kise's words, and she straightened her sitting posture immediately, as if listening to the teacher's lecture seriously.

"Ugh...I don't know how to say it, but Yuuki-chan, your passes are always in the right place, and the small details make it very comfortable for me to receive them. As a point guard, you It’s really great!”

Kise touched his nose and affirmed Yuuki's passing skills, then closed his eyes and frowned: "As for Xiao Xiangyang's pass, it will basically not reach my ideal position. Yuuki-chan will not be able to pick up your pass." So comfortable, but…”

"There's a kind of thing. I've passed it over there. If you can't score, just wait to be scolded! This feeling, hahahaha. Sorry, am I talking too abstractly?"

Huang La scratched his head and laughed, even he felt that what he said was a little bit wrong.

Unexpectedly, Yuuki lowered his head halfway, thinking seriously, he seems to have grasped something, but it was still almost...

"No, Yuuki-chan, can you understand what I mean?"

Kise was a little surprised. If he and Xiang Yang had such mysterious words, they would probably get stabbed again.

beep—

At this time, the referee's whistle sounded and the intermission was over.

Kise turned to look at Yuuki, who was still bowing his head in thought, patted his shoulder and interrupted: "Let's go, Yuuki-chan, the second half is about to begin."

"And, instead of thinking so much yourself, why don't you just ask Xiao Xiangyang?"

Facing Kise's curious gaze, Yuuki opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Why not ask Senior Xiangyang?Obviously he is also a point guard and can definitely give some useful advice on his own problems, but for some reason...

Yuuki didn't want to ask him.

Maybe it's because they both play the same position, and Yuuki was not willing to give in. She had been playing as a substitute for Xiangyang before he graduated. He also wanted to stand on the court and serve as a point guard for Kise. Senior passes the ball!
Is he such a person that he must defeat? In order to improve his strength, he goes to ask Senior Xiangyang and then seizes someone else's position?This is too shameless!
Just when Yuuki was thinking wildly and didn't know how to answer, Kise saw what he was thinking. He put his arms around Yuuki's shoulders, leaned into his ear and whispered softly.

"Little Yuuki, do you want to make a bet? Little Xiangyang knows [-]% what you think, and if you ask him, [-]%! He will answer your question!"

After saying that, Kise looked at the shocked and dazed expression on Yuuki's face, smiled and winked at him, then put his head on his hands and hummed a little tune.

Behind him, Yuuki was stunned, secretly clenched her fists, wiped her face and rubbed back her stiff features, then looked at Xiang Yang who was chatting with Kise, and silently made up her mind.

……

At the beginning of the second half, Kise took the lead in serving, and Yuuki was still the initiator of tactics. Kise was responsible for the end after the tactics failed. This style of play has been confirmed after the fierce battle in the first half!The Xiangyang family can’t handle it!
Similarly, facing the Kise family's defense, Xiang Yang's two-way pick-and-roll tactics still achieved very good scoring efficiency.

As a result, the second half seemed to be a microcosm of the first half. In this rhythm of the game, Yuuki's tactical sense and ability to seize opportunities were well tempered.At the same time, Hiroshi Ohara gained a lot in the pick-and-roll and downfield finishing.

Both Hai and Chang made a lot of money in today's training match. However, the training match is a training match, and the winner still has to be decided.

Neither Xiang Yang nor Kise are people who regard victory as nothing!
The result doesn't matter, the process is the biggest gain and source of happiness?

It's just nonsense. It's like playing a game. Who would be happier if you lose a close match or win by being forcibly carried away by your teammates?
The answer is obvious, the stars you get are everything!
"It can be seen that they all had a lot of fun."

At the top of the arc, facing Huang Lai's attack, Xiang Yang was the first to smile.

At this moment, with the last 20 seconds left in the game, 61:61, Team Kise had a chance to win the game.

If this ball continues to connect Yuuki and Kise, there is a high probability that it will be impossible to prevent, so... Xiangyang decided to take a gamble!
"It's time for us to have some fun, right?"

Xiang Yang licked his lips and made a gesture of pulling away from his teammates. As a defender, it was self-evident what Xiang Yang meant by making this gesture.

Invite to fight Kise!
"I still like you to call me a genius, little Xiangyang."

Kise's golf IQ is not low, so he can naturally see what Xiangyang is thinking.

Instead of betting on a 10% chance that the team can defend against their attack, why not bet on a 30% chance of being able to defend Kise alone?

Interesting, let's play!
There was a hint of excitement in Kise's eyes, and he also made a gesture to pull away from his teammates. Facing Xiangyang, he pulled the ball back with one hand and waited for time to pass.

When everyone in the audience saw this scene, they all started to boo.

The internal battle between the two strongest players in the team is really exciting!
Kise even waved to the fans in the audience leisurely, with a smile on his face and a very relaxed look.

Xiang Yang, on the other hand, remained calm and did not step forward to press. He always stayed in a position where he could interfere with Kise.He bets that if Kise stepped forward to steal because of Kise's distracted behavior, he would be the one who got passed!
The two stood facing each other like this. Finally, with 8 seconds left on the clock, Kise moved!

A quick step back to break through, and he passed half of Xiang Yang's body in an instant.Even without entering the "zone" state, Kise's explosion cannot be underestimated!

Xiang Yang frowned slightly and turned around to follow immediately. However, Kise's explosive first step was a bit beyond his imagination. Without being able to adjust his defensive position, Xiang Yang inevitably gave Kise space.

His pupils shrank slightly, and Kise seized this opportunity keenly. He immediately stopped his center of gravity and made a pull-up jumper on the spot!
Xiang Yang, who was in the defensive position, also noticed Kise's movements immediately, with a wry smile on his face.

Just such a small mistake, the outcome has been decided...

Swish!
Sure enough, with everyone watching, the ball hit the net without any surprise.

Kise's two points are valid!

The referee immediately stopped the stopwatch. Because Kise shot the ball very quickly, there were only 5 seconds left on the clock, but the Xiangyang family had almost been sentenced to death.

While opening his arms to welcome the shouts of his teammates and fans, Kise smiled at Xiang Yang.

In this one-on-one challenge within the team, Kise once again proved his status!

Even Xiang Yang, who has the strongest single defense ability of Hai Chang, can't guard against him!
At the last moment, Kise didn't give him any chance and kept sticking close to Xiangyang. Although Xiangyang finally seized an opportunity and forced a shot, it was still too difficult to score the winning goal under Kise's interference. !

The training match ended, 63:61, Kise won!
Xiang Yang stood in midfield with his hands on his hips, looking at the score with a melancholy look on his face, but there was a trace of reassurance in his eyes.Although we lost, it is really reassuring to have such a strong teammate in team competition.

At this time, Kise, who had high-fived and celebrated with his teammates, jumped on Xiangyang during a run-up, and joked with a smile: "What's wrong, Xiangyang? It's okay~ You can lose to me, it's not embarrassing~"

Xiang Yang:…

"You bastard, do you want to die?"

Xiang Yang shouted sharply, and before Kise could react, he immediately grabbed Kise and pushed him to the ground.

Kise's reaction was not slow. After noticing Xiang Yang's intention, he immediately jumped down. After turning on the acceleration, he started to avoid Xiang Yang and ran quickly in the gym. The two of them performed a scene on the basketball court. The police Catch the thief drama!

The people watching the show did not step forward to stop them. They just stood there and watched the two playing happily. After Kasamatsu-senpai was gone, the overall atmosphere of Kaidune became more and more cheerful. Of course, this is not necessarily a good thing. If it is cheerful After a certain point, it becomes loose!

At this moment, in the corner of Kaijo Arena, where no one noticed, Yuki Hashimoto stood there.

He looked at Xiang Yang and Kise, who were still fighting in the center of the venue. A trace of struggle flashed in his eyes. The determination he had made just now was gone.

Finally, a soft sigh.

"Stop, stop, stop! Little Xiangyang! I suddenly remembered something!"

After a long chase, Kise was forced into a corner by Xiang Yang. He suddenly looked like he suddenly realized what he was thinking of, causing Xiang Yang to snort coldly.

Kise became anxious and said quickly: "I'm serious! It's Yuki-chan who has something to ask you! If you don't believe me, just ask...hey? Where is Yuki-chan?"
