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

Chapter 156 Kise-senpai is good at showing weakness

Xiude's three-pointer is valid

The referee raised his hands and gestured to the technical table. On the scoreboard, Xiude's score advanced simultaneously and became 3:2.

In the auditorium, apart from the large number of spectators who were watching the excitement, the slightly more experienced basketball enthusiasts and all members of Hai Chang looked a little confused at this moment.

[Can I still shoot three-pointers like this? 】

Kise's mouth opened slightly and he looked at Midorima's back, his eyes full of disbelief.

Xiangyang's face was solemn, and he kept thinking about Midorima's attack just now in his mind.

[Is it just a coincidence caused by the good feel, or...]

It is true that the visual effect of Midorima's three-pointer just now was very average, at least compared to Kagami's free throw line dunk, it was much less impressive.

However, the meaning behind this goal is very important!
"Ryota, Midorima has never pitched this kind of ball before, right?"

He glanced at Yang Yang and asked Kise on the other side. The latter did not hesitate and nodded decisively: "No."

"Little Green always shoots in the same posture, because as long as he maintains his posture, he will not miss the shot."

really…

A look of understanding appeared on Xiang Yang's face, and he turned to look at Midorima on the field again, murmuring: "This kid... has also evolved this year."

……

……

Another round of Xiude's offensive round
Takao is dribbling the ball while directing the movement of his teammates. The overall strength of the new version of Xiude has not improved much compared to the previous year. The original core of the inside has now graduated. Looking at Xiude's formation, there is no longer any There are no inside players strong enough to take the lead alone.

but…

After Midorima's evolution, Showtoku's overall offensive ideas become clearer!

Constantly use pick-and-rolls and running positions to create opportunities for Midorima to hit three-pointers!
In the bottom corner, Midorima observed Takao's gestures. After he made a downward movement, he ran away decisively, lowering his body and slipping past Cheng Rin's baseline.

Kagami, who had been following Midorima closely, saw the next scene and ran towards the baseline on the other side. He wanted to follow Midorima, stop his three-pointer, and continue to bombard his own basket!
However, in the Jorin restricted area, Miyaji Yuya, who had already received Takao's signal, was still blocking the position with Teppei on the surface, but his eyes were always staring at Kagami.

The moment Midorima ran past Miyaji, before Kagami was about to catch up with Midorima, Miyaji swung his legs and used his own body to directly block Kagami's path.

Ok?
Vulcan's reflexes were very good, and he immediately judged Miyaji's intention. His foot movements changed and he immediately bypassed Miyaji's pick-and-roll. However, at this moment, his steps stopped.

Midorima had already run outside the three-point line, received a pass from Takao, and got a three-point opportunity with a decent amount of space.

His expression remained unchanged, and the gaze hidden under his spectacles perfectly interpreted what it means to feel calm. His legs were slightly bent, and he lifted the ball as if to shoot.

"It's not over yet!!"

Kagami's eyes were slightly red, watching Midorima's movements, he took off directly from a distance of two or three steps. With his "super bounce", even if he was one step slower, he could still interfere with Midorima!
However, Midorima just raised his hand and shook it slightly, then immediately dropped the ball, bypassing Kagami's defense.

This is a Buddha worship!
The expression of the Vulcan in the sky changed slightly, but in his heart, he was secretly happy.

[Yoxi!Stop him from shooting three-pointers! 】

As long as Midorima is not allowed to fire from outside the three-point line, after rushing to the inside, Teppei, who is good at assisting defense, and Kuroko, who is always invisible and waiting for opportunities to steal, Jorin's inside defense is not strong, but it is full of offense!
Unfortunately, Vulcan made a miscalculation.

Teppei on the inside had already noticed the attack and defense in the bottom corner. He raised his arms, blocking the players behind him and waiting for Midorima to step forward.

On the other side, Kuroko sneaked in front of Midorima and was about to move his right hand, just waiting for Midorima to take another step forward.

However, the moment Midorima stepped inside the three-point line with his right foot, he suddenly kicked back, withdrew his body quickly and retreated for a three-pointer!

After the evolution, Midorima is no longer obsessed with static three-pointers after catching the ball. His real weapon is the "arbitrary three-pointer" that can take off at will from outside the three-point line!
Looking to the side, Midorima was already stretching in the air and preparing to shoot. Kagami was horrified but did not give up. He jumped up again the moment he landed and stretched out his left arm to prevent Midorima from scoring.

"It's no use Vulcan, you will never risk my three points again."

In the air, there was no fear on Midorima's face that Kagami could take off to block the shot again. He allowed his body to lose balance in the air. His upper body gradually moved to the left until it deviated from Kagami's defensive range. The basketball I had been thinking about for so long was finally released.

Another difficult drift three-pointer!

Swish!
The sound of the hollow net entering the net seemed so sparse and ordinary to this man.

There was an uproar.

At this moment, the score between the two sides has reached 21:11. Only halfway through the first quarter, Midorima made seven three-pointers, seven of seven, and scored 5 points in 21 minutes!
Off the field, Xiangyang's right leg shook slightly. Although there was no expression on his face, he was not at peace inside.

[Is this a direct evolution from Klay Thompson to Stephen Curry? 】

Xiang Yang gave a wry smile. Although he had guessed it when Midorima threw the first ball, he still couldn't help but be surprised when the facts actually happened.

Shintaro Midorima has mastered the ability to take difficult shots from outside the three-point line, and the most terrifying thing is... his shooting percentage can still be maintained at [-]%!

If it were just a matter of scoring a drift three-pointer, a step-back three-pointer, or a pull-up, which are relatively difficult shots, then not just Midorima, but everyone in the "Generation of Miracles" except Murasakibara could do it. Even Miyagi, We often hit such seemingly unreasonable shots during games.

But Midorima is different, he can hit instantly!
You know, difficult moves are difficult to hit, but they are also difficult to defend. When Midorima can hit this kind of ball 100%, as long as he makes a difficult shot, it means that the team has a three-pointer, and the defender There is basically no way to deal with him!
Midorima·Three-Point Machine·Shintaro!
"It's troublesome..."

Xiang Yang let out a sigh, attracting the attention of the rest of Hai Chang.

Kise turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Xiangyang? Do you think we can't handle Xiude now?"

"of course not."

Xiang Yang shook his head, and then teased everyone with a teasing look: "I'm talking for you, after all, eight people share the dinner for three people, don't you think it's very embarrassing?"

Everyone was stunned. Kise was the first to react and said unconvinced: "Cheng Rin may not lose, okay, the point difference is not that big!"

Saying this, Kise pointed at the score.

At 27:14, Xiude was in the lead.

In terms of time, the first quarter was just coming to an end, and Chenglin did have ample opportunities to catch up with the score difference.

However, this is just a round-robin match. In the last game, Shirorin had just fought fiercely with Kirihuang for the whole game. As long as Aida Reiko's brain doesn't go wrong, there is a high probability that she will give up in this game and it is unlikely that she will fight with him. Xiude fights to death.

Sure enough, when Xiang Yang curled his lips and pointed at Cheng Rin's starting lineup for the second quarter, Kise was dumbfounded.

Kuroko, who had the weakest physical strength, had been placed on the bench by Reiko. Together with Kiyoshi Teppei, who had just returned from an injury abroad, the two sat side by side on the bench, becoming the spectators closest to the stadium.

As for Kagami, who had always had abundant physical strength, he continued to stay on the court, but before playing, Reiko Aida gave him a lot of psychological training.

Phrases like “save your strength,” “don’t get hurt,” and “participate.”

This made Vulcan play very conservative on the offensive end, changing his previous wild image.

Xiang Yang was not surprised by this. If he was asked to be Cheng Lin's coach, he would make the same choice as Reiko.

Are you trying to squeeze the physical strength of your own players in an insignificant game just to compete for publicity?Isn't this pure nt?

Not to mention the uncertain factors such as injuries. As long as the game is successfully completed, it will be a success!

Moreover, in such an inconsequential game, Xiude was the first to expose this year's trump card. For these competitors, the top priority is not to fight to the death with him on the field, but to carefully study the video of this game. , looking for an opportunity to defeat Xiude!

beep—

Cheng Lin retreated in the second quarter, so the result of this game would naturally not be any surprise.

117:92, Xiude achieved a big victory.

Shutoku's coach Hitoshi Nakatani is also someone who knows how to get into trouble. He didn't chase Shirin because he showed weakness first. After all, they are from the same competition area. They usually look up but don't look down. There must be some tacit understanding between them. With leeway.

Of course, I am more afraid of Midorima playing too much and exposing some problems. Although from Nakatani Hitoshi's own perspective, this year's Shutoku has no shortcomings, but just in case, always be careful. That's right.

In this way, although the bet between Hai Chang and everyone lasted for the whole game, the real result was already known as early as the beginning of the second quarter.

The third round-robin match, Tonghuang vs. Xiude, is also the last match of the day.

I don’t know if the tournament organizers deliberately arranged it, but the three most interesting games of the North District round-robin tournament were all placed together today!As for the next two days, Kirisaki Daichi will face three different "miracle" teams!
Hmm... nothing interesting to see, the result is no different than if it had already come out.

In the third game, Kirihui still built an offensive system around their first-year freshman, Yui Igarashi.

Since Kuroko Tetsuya was not on the court in this game, this player who has a very similar style of play to Xiang Yang performed very well in this game.

Not only does he organize the offense in an orderly manner on the organizational end, but on the defensive end, he can also deal with high-tail attacks with ease.

Even a top point guard like Takao, who is second only to Akashi and Miyagi in the first position, did not find many opportunities in the first half against Yui Igarashi.

If it weren't for Tetsuya Kuroko, today's round robin would have been a debut show in which Igarashi performed very well.

Unfortunately, Midorima Shintaro's fighting spirit today was too strong. Unlike Aomine Daiki, who focused on cultivating his juniors, he was still full of firepower in the second game, and the half had just ended.

Midorima made 13 of 13 shots and scored 39 points!
As for Aomine, he was always paddling, and only when Igarashi's offensive organization was hindered would he stand up to take over the ball and help the team open up the situation.

At the end of the half, Aomine scored 6 points on 5 of 12 shots. Igarashi didn't score much, scoring only 8 points, but he had 9 assists, which converted into teammates' scoring efficiency, which was also good.

61:54, Xiude leads.

Unlike Midorima who played the leading role on Showtoku's side, all Kiroh's players except Igarashi scored more than ten points.

The strong personal team built by Zekede, with the help of Igarashi, successfully turned into a rope, and the strength was finally combined!
"Good job, brat."

On the Kirihui bench, Aomine patted Igarashi on the back and looked at the scoreboard on the opposite side of the court with a satisfied look on his face.

While he was paddling and invisible for the entire first half, in the face of Midorima's bombardment of three-pointers, Kirihui was only 7 points behind. This was something Aomine would never have dared to think about before.

Igarashi took the towel handed by the substitute and wiped the sweat on his face. The confidence in his eyes returned again.

"Aomine-senpai, if you keep this pace until the fourth quarter, will you be fine?"

Upon hearing Igarashi's words, Aomine curled his lips and revealed a fierce light in his eyes.

"Of course, are you looking down on me? If the point difference can remain at this level before the fourth quarter, with my current physical strength, a comeback will not be a problem at all."

Aomine's answer was very confident, and Igarashi's movements were even more confident!
I saw him wave his hand, like the leader of Emperor Tong, leading the players to the field.

Behind him, Tonghuang coach Hara Zeked looked at the high-spirited backs of his players, and for a moment, he couldn't help but feel a surge of blood in his heart.

This is the team he leads, the winner of this year’s national championship—Tong Huang! !

[Come on, kids!Let everyone see your strength and create your own legend! 】

Although Yuan Zekede is over thirty and entering middle age, he has never lacked the desire for victory in his heart. This youthful heart has never changed even if he became a coach!
however…

beep—

The whistle blew for the end of the third quarter.

Yuan Zeked looked at the scoreboard and fell into deep thought...

82:65, Xiude leads.

In the third quarter...Tonghuang was defeated.

On the field, Aomine grabbed Igarashi's collar with an angry look and asked loudly: "What are you doing, brat? Who just said below the field that you need to keep the score difference and wait for me to come out and take over the game?" ah!"

It's no wonder Qingfeng was so excited, it was clear that they were evenly matched just now, but who knew that after the third quarter, the situation would suddenly change drastically, and no matter who it was, they would have to chat a few words before they would be willing to accept it.

Seeing Aomine's already dark face turn a few shades darker, Igarashi crossed his fingers awkwardly, speechless.

He really didn't expect that Xiude would explode with such power in the third quarter.

Under the leadership of Takao, Showtoku changed his offensive approach in the first half and actually abandoned Midorima, only placing him outside the three-point line as a nuclear weapon deterrent.

The offensive focus is on the other four players.

This is not incompatible with Igarashi's pre-war prediction, but at least it has nothing to do with it!

So, when Qingfeng resisted and refrained from taking action, Emperor Tong unsurprisingly... rotted away!

The final whistle sounds
121:117, Xiude won.

In the fourth quarter, Aomine turned on the "zone" mode to catch up, but the loopholes left in the third quarter were too big. Even if Aomine suppressed Midorima for a time, he was unable to recover.

With no choice but to feel annoyed, Aomine had to find Igarashi again, grabbed him by the collar and unleashed another round of verbal attacks to vent his anger.

It can only be said that this year's Tonghuang still has a long way to go. They still have a long way to go before Igarashi can grow into a capable point guard on his own!

……

……

At the end of the game, the audience also left the field one after another. Although Tong Huang and Cheng Rin had some reservations during the game today, it did not affect the excitement of the game at all.

Whether it was Vulcan's dunk performance from several free throw lines or Midorima's difficult three-pointers one after another, most of the spectators who came to watch the game in the arena today were satisfied and did not all clamor for refunds. situation occurs.

At the front of the auditorium, everyone from Hai Chang, who had arrived early and had taken a good seat, was chatting. Since there were so many spectators in the venue, it would be impossible to finish them in half an hour, and they were far away from the door, so they might as well sit a little longer and wait. Let’s talk about it after people are almost gone.

"What are we going to eat later?"

"How about a hamburger?"

"Okay, but there are so many of us and we have to treat guests, so it's better to eat ramen, right?"

While everyone was discussing the dinner party, Xiangyang stood up and stretched out.

"I'm going to the bathroom~"

After leaving a light sentence, Xiang Yang turned around and left his seat. Before leaving, he glanced at Kise with deep meaning.

The latter's expression was startled, and Kise curled his lips as he looked at Xiang Yang's retreating back.

"I'm going to the bathroom too."

After saying that, Kise got up and ran all the way, following Xiangyang.

"It's weird, we go to the bathroom together... This is what I did when I was in junior high school. Hahaha, Ryota and Xiangyang are still kids after all!"

Kobori Hiroshi, who was very good at seeing the situation clearly, poured the last bit of popcorn in the bucket into his mouth and let out a "chuckling" laugh.

Beside him, a group of Hai Chang's players had already leaned their heads together and opened a new bet!

"I bet five hundred, Kise-senpai bows his head and apologizes!"

"Wait! We don't know what happened. How do you know that Senior Xiangyang is right?"

"No matter who is right or wrong, Senior Xiangyang is definitely the stronger party anyway. You don't think that Senior Kise can make Senior Xiangyang apologize to him, do you?"

"...Tsk, it seems so, then I'll bet on Senior Xiangyang too!"

"Wait a minute, if we all bet on Xiangyang-senpai, how do we start the bet? Someone has to place a bet on Kise-senpai!"

"It makes sense! Who bets on Kise-senpai?"

(Silence)
The bet is broken.
