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

Chapter 155 Midorima’s new ultimate move that has been precipitated

"We have to play two games in a row in one day, and both are miracle-level opponents. The North District is really a scary place."

With his hands on the pillow and looking at the schedule listed by the referee, Xiang Yang couldn't help but let out a sigh, but as he said this, the expression on his face was a bit gloating.

Around him, everyone in Hai Chang also sighed.

"Fortunately we are in the West End."

I don’t know who it was, but everyone said this and everyone laughed.

No matter how difficult the North Division game is, what does it have to do with them being the leader in the West Division?

"After this round, the next round, it seems that Emperor Tong has to play again, against Xiude..."

Kise smacked his lips, glanced at Xiang Yang, and stopped talking. He was about to ask Xiang Yang who he thought would win, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.

"Who do you think can win this game?"

Suddenly, Xiangyang turned his head and asked, as if he could read Kise's thoughts. When he asked this question, he glanced at Kise vaguely.

"Cheng Lin, after all, he was the runner-up last year."

"Well, I think it's Cheng Rin too. These two teams have played against each other twice before. Once Cheng Rin won and the other time was a draw."

……

After a round, everyone in Hai Chang was generally optimistic about Cheng Rin. After all, the tenacity and difficulty shown by this team during the Winter Cup left a deep impression on them!

As for Xiude, to be honest, after a year, Haichang has not played against Xiude Zhengji, because every time, Xiude was in the quarterfinals, either against Cheng Lin or Luoshan, and was sent away directly. go home.

It was Kise's turn. He looked at Kuroko on the field, who was reminiscing with Midorima, and said hesitantly: "I'll choose Shirorin too. After all, compared to Midorima and Kuroko, I still want to see Kuroko win." !”

"What the hell? You all believe that Cheng Lin will win. Is Xiude so unfavorable?"

Xiang Yang shook his head and said: "If we all think Cheng Lin can win, then what's the point of the game? We're not Cheng Lin's fans, well... I'll just draft the Druid. I have a hunch that the constellation fan will be here today." It was a surprise for me.”

As soon as Xiang Yang finished speaking, Hiroshi Ohara, who had been silent all this time, said at the same time: "I also draft virtue."

"Oh? Then we have two votes now."

Xiang Yang was a little surprised. He turned around and blinked at Masako beside him, who had an expressionless face.

"I also draft virtue."

"Ok!"

Xiang Yang smiled happily. He rubbed his hands, counted the number of people present, and said, "Including Miss Masako, the votes are 3 to 8. The loser will treat me to dinner, is that okay?"

"ok ok!"

"Hahahaha, it's getting interesting!"

Everyone is a little excited when the gambling game starts. If you add a little bit of jackpot when watching the game, the fun will be doubled!Of course, small gambling brings pleasure, but big gambling harms the body. There are many cases of family ruin and death due to addiction. Fortunately, Xiangyang and the others only gambled in small amounts in private, so there was no serious problem.

referee whistle blows
The second game of the first day of the North District round-robin is about to begin!
"Please advise!"

During the salute session, Vulcan had just stood up after bowing when he noticed a fiery gaze in the enemy formation.

Midorima Shintaro…

Kagami took a deep breath and suppressed the tiredness in his heart. Even if he was exhausted in the last battle with Aomine, at this moment, Kagami had no intention of giving away the victory!
As for Midorima, the same is true. In last year's Winter Cup qualifiers, Xiudoku was able to draw with Shirin, but in the official match.

Facing Rakuzan led by Akashi, Midorima had no power to fight back. After only struggling for three quarters, Rakuzan packed him away and sent him home.

On the other hand, Cheng Lin was able to successfully counterattack Luoshan and defeat him in the semi-finals of the four-to-two match!Rounding it off like this, doesn't it indirectly mean that Cheng Lin defeated Xiude? ? ?

For Shintaro Midorima, who has a strong self-esteem, this is unacceptable to him!Not to mention, under his leadership, Xiude has not made it to the semi-finals for two years... This year's Xiude urgently needs to prove their strength, otherwise they will fall into decline during the freshman gathering next year, and the Green League Shintaro Ma will also become the "Generation of Miracles" with the worst performance in leading the team in the past two years...

【unacceptable! 】

Midorima pushed up his glasses. Under his elegant appearance, a fire was burning in his heart. He wanted to win today's game!With his newly learned moves...win the game!
"Well, Xiao Zhen, your expression is so scary."

On the side, Takao, who was doing stretching exercises, caught a glimpse of his ace's movements, walked over with a smile on his face, and put his arms around Midorima's shoulders.

"It doesn't matter if we lose this game. It's just a round-robin match. Xiao Zhenqi's new moves can be saved for the official game. When the time comes...hehehe! I guarantee that everyone present will be shocked!"

Takao whispered into Midorima's ear, revealing his plan.

Anyway, with Kirisaki at the bottom of the list, the round-robin competition in the North District is just a formality for them. It is completely meaningless to compete for high and low points. Don’t you see that even Tonghuang is trying to hone his own juniors. He gave up the chance to compete with Cheng Rin for victory.

They show their virtues, and they can completely emulate Tong Huang!
Deliberately showing weakness and losing to Shirorin will not only keep Midorima's newly developed secret weapon, but also make the enemy take it lightly, thinking that this year's Shuitoku has not made any progress.
While Takao was telling Midorima his plan, there was still a glint in his eyes, as if he had seen Xiude endure the humiliation all the way to the finals, and finally win the championship in one fell swoop!

"I see, Takao, I have to say, your plan sounds very good, and the success rate is very high."

Midorima's tone was very calm, but what he said really made Takao's eyes light up.

"Right, right! So, as long as we..."

"I reject."

Takao:…

Midorima slowly took off the eyes on his face, wiped them carefully and put them back on. In his eyes, there flashed a hint of fanaticism that was completely inconsistent with his calm temperament!

He wants to win!Not only in the future, but also now, he will win this and the next game!

"I've had enough, the feeling of failure, Takao..."

Midorima tilted his head slightly and closed his eyes.

In his mind, the images of being defeated by Cheng Lin in the Summer Games and being swept by Luoshan in the Winter Cup, emerged one by one at this moment.

Takao opened his mouth, looked at Midorima's current state, and finally shook his head and sighed: "Really, you guys are all so careless. How can you outshine that careless boy like Kai Chang?"

"But...it's interesting, let's go and win the game!"

……

Jump ball session
This year's Xiudoku, only the two sophomore starters Takao and Midorima are still on the team, and the other three seniors have graduated and left the team.

The three newcomers who replaced him were a small forward who was good at shooting, and the other two were two insiders who had performed well in the "Freshman Training Game"!
They are Yuya Miyaji and Taisuke Kimura. These two players have been famous since they were in junior high school. Although their physical development is not yet complete and their game experience is a bit too shallow compared with those experienced players, it is undeniable. , they are newcomers with great potential!
A tall referee stood in the middle circle, raising his hand to signal the jumping players from both sides to come forward. On Jorin's side, it was still Kiyoshi Teppei, and on Hidetoku's side, it was this year's first-year freshman, Taisuke Kimura.

[Hey, is this a newcomer? He's already this tall?Kids these days are really amazing. 】

Looking at Kimura in front of him, whose height was looming over his head, Tieping couldn't help sighing.

Unknowingly, Kiyoshi Teppei has become a "senior" in his senior year of high school, and along with Hinata and Itsuki from Jorin's team, all three of them will leave the team next year.

By that time, only Kuroko and Kagami's Shirorin are left in the starting lineup, and their strength will inevitably be greatly reduced!
[But precisely because of this... This year, it’s up to us old guys to have the last dance in Cheng Rin! 】

Tie Ping had a stern look on his face, slightly bent his knees and was ready to go. The moment the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball, his leg strength exploded and he jumped!
"Ow!!!"

With a roar, Hidetoku center Kimura Taisuke took off at the same time. His static talent was considered abnormal among his peers, but he actually surpassed Tie Ping in terms of absolute height!

In the air, both hands hit the ball almost simultaneously.

Feeling the pressure coming from the opposite side, Tie Ping was secretly surprised: What an amazing power!
[But...the experience is too little. 】

The broad palms are slightly curved. Tie Ping's greatest weapon as one of the "Five Uncrowned Generals", apart from his top golf intelligence, is his outrageously delicate handwork!
Feeling Tieping's slight relief, Kimura had doubts in his heart, but he didn't care about the ball in his hands and threw the ball towards his own half with all his strength.

The basketball flew out, and Kimura managed to divert the ball to his own half!However, after Tiepei changed the trajectory with his palm, the basketball finally flew to the left side, Kagami Taiga, who had been ambushing in Xiude's half for a long time!

Vulcan received the ball without any hesitation. Seeing that the defense line had not yet been established and the staff was very loose, Xiude immediately got off the ball and sprinted forward!

In an instant, the stadium seemed to flash a fiery electric light!

There was a clang, the sound of the basketball colliding with the basket!

In just three seconds after the start, Vulcan succeeded in a quick break and scored the first goal of the game!
Cheng Lin's two points are valid
Even the referee didn't have time to react. He didn't raise his hand to signal the technical table until the basketball hit the ground for the second time and made a sound. The score was valid.

In the auditorium, everyone in Haichang couldn't help but clicked their lips when they saw Cheng Rin scoring so neatly in the first round.

The ultimate fast-paced attack is an eye-catching label of Cheng Lin. Hai Chang, who had played against him in the finals, was even more impressed by this!
"Little Vulcan's bounce is still so exaggerated. The ball just now took off from the free throw line again!"

Kise raised his hands as if to measure the distance of Kagami's jump from across the audience, and the expression on his face was a bit expectant.

After watching the game for so long, his hands were already itchy.

On the other side, Xiang Yang turned around and looked around at the reactions of the audience, and found that there were many Cheng Lin fans among them.

At this time, Masako also responded to the situation: "Cheng Rin has become a popular team now. This arena seems to be like their home stadium."

Listening to the cheers coming from all directions, Xiang Yang nodded thoughtfully and replied: "After all, with the way the Vulcans play, they deserve their popularity. They treat the basket like an enemy every time and are violent. I love it too." look."

It has to be said that the game is interesting only when you watch other teams play. Like Kagami's free throw line jump just now, Hai Chang, who was sitting in the audience, watched with gusto, while looking at Xiude on the field, His expression was not so relaxed.

"damn it…"

Kimura Taisuke, who participated in the national competition for the first time, was the first to lose his temper.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, Vulcan's split was somewhat due to luck, as a person involved, Kimura knew very well that it was Teppei who was responsible!

[Five generals without a crown...]

Kimura muttered something, looking at Tieping with unwilling eyes.

At this time, Takao, who had been looking at the overall situation with his eagle eyes, discovered that his younger brother seemed to have a wrong mentality. Taking advantage of the break in serving, Takao walked past Kimura, patted his butt and comforted him: "Don't worry, it's just once. It’s just a jump ball.”

The latter listened to his senior's advice and nodded, acting very honestly, but Takao could clearly see from his eyes that this stupid young man didn't want to give up.

Takao pursed his lips and didn't say anything more. He just walked out of bounds and served the ball. He was not good at doing that kind of thing to appease his juniors.

In the past, when Senior Daqing was still there, Takao's only responsibility as a point guard was to link up the team's offense on the court, and he never worried about the mentality of his players at home.

Now it seems that there are no quiet years, but some people continue to bear the burden and move forward.

While dribbling forward, Takao sighed.

Xiutoku's starting lineup changed a lot this year. In the end, except for him and Midorima, the other three Xiudoku's starters were all first-year players!

This resulted in the position of captain finally falling to Takao. Don’t get me wrong, in terms of character and prestige, let Takao speak for himself, he and Captain Showtoku would never be able to compete with each other in eight lifetimes!However, in the Xiutoku formation, the person who has the strength to take up the position of captain is either him or Midorima...

Let a tsundere man with glasses and constellation be the captain of the team...unless Takao is crazy!
There was no way, in the end, this position had to be filled by Takao.

"Take your time and take the first attack first!"

Takao raised his right finger, signaling for his teammates to move, but from the flank, a fiery gaze was cast towards him.

Although he had glasses as a barrier, Midorima Shintaro, with his sharp eyes, almost stood in Takao's face and shouted at him: Pass the ball to me!
Seeing that his ace was so eager to fight, Takao didn't force his tactics and passed the ball with a push of both hands.

As expected, as soon as Midorima received the ball, he was tightly guarded by Kagami. He had unlimited shooting space. As long as he received the ball while standing on the court, there would be no less than two defenders around him!This situation will only change when facing Kai Chang and Cheng Rin.

Because of these two teams, one is a monster with super bounce, and the other is a genius who can imitate "super bounce"!

Seeing Kagami in front of him who was constantly putting pressure on him, Midorima held the ball between his legs to protect it, keeping his center of gravity very low to prevent Kagami from having a chance to steal.

If it were before, under this level of defensive pressure, Midorima would not hesitate to pass the ball back to Takao, but this time, Midorima did not move, and just stood quietly, observing Vulcan's defense.

"What is Xiaolu going to do? Don't you want to pass the ball back?"

Looking at the two people on the field who seemed to have been suspended by time, Kise couldn't help but ask questions. As a perfect imitator of Midorima, he could quickly tell that this kind of offensive and defensive situation was not something Midorima would choose to take action.

Xiang Yang rubbed his chin, feeling vaguely in his heart that this man of the zodiac sign... seemed to be capable of doing something extraordinary.

On the field, Kagami looked at Midorima, who was as still as a statue in front of him, and was equally puzzled. However, his good defensive habits prevented him from taking it lightly, and he still maintained his defensive posture.

On the other side, Takao, who knew the inside story in advance, had his hands on his hips and a melancholy look on his face.

[Such a powerful killing move must be used in the qualifiers... What a waste. 】

Takao clicked his tongue inwardly, but couldn't help but relax his movements.

[Well... that's fine. If you meet her for the first time, even Cheng Lin will have to rack your brains and your head will be dizzy, right? 】

The next moment, as if to confirm Takao's inner thoughts, Midorima caught Kagami's mental slack.The position of your feet suddenly changes, you start immediately, and you break through smoothly!
Ok?breakthrough?

Kagami was a little surprised, but his defensive lateral movement speed was absolutely top-notch, and he succeeded in getting on Midorima immediately.

[Although your breakthrough is not bad, it is much less threatening than your shooting. 】

In his heart, Midorima was sure that he was going to make a breakthrough that he didn't usually use. Kagami subconsciously left some space for Midorima to advance, firstly to better respond to Midorima's attack, and secondly to prevent him from getting too close. A foul was called.

It has to be said that Vulcan's defense was perfect. Unfortunately, the offensive method Midorima will show this time cannot be stopped by conventional defense!
The moment Midorima's right foot was about to step into the three-point line, he suddenly retracted it and landed exactly one centimeter away from the three-point line. At the same time, his hands immediately joined the ball. He was still in a forward state just now. The body, in an instant, turned into a jump shot.

"Nani???"

Kagami's face changed drastically as he took half a step back. He estimated the distance from Midorima. He gritted his teeth, and his body's retreating momentum stagnated. He stretched out his right hand and moved towards Midorima's eyes.

Vulcan's bounce is very exaggerated. Even if he jumps with his back hand, the terrifying speed and explosion will make his height skyrocket!

It's a pity... Midorima is really not a human being this time.

With his body soaring in the air, Midorima's direction of jump was not only upward, but also slightly to the left. This was not an emergency stop three-point pull-up, but an even more outrageous drifting pull-up!
Feeling the weightlessness of his body, Midorima's legs tilted forward uncoordinatedly, but his upper body remained stable, and together with his eyes, the basketball flew straight to the basket.

Swish!
Hollow into the net.
