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

Chapter 162 Cheng Lin established the team for two and a half years

"What a pity, Murasakibara, it's over."

On the field, Akashi jumped into the air. The distance between his feet and his height formed a strong contrast.

In front of him, Murasakihara raised his hands unwillingly, staring at Akashi tightly.

Although Akashi's jumping is exaggerated, with Murasakihara's athletic ability and physical talent, there is no such thing as being unable to cover up.

It's a pity... His continued strength in the second half of the third quarter, coupled with the explosion of "zone" status in the fourth quarter, his legs are shaking now even when he walks, let alone jumping up to block shots.

On the sidelines, Xiang Yang pursed his lips and watched the last moment of this fierce battle.Rakuzan served from the center line, Akashi broke through the inside line, faced Murasakibara's defense, and slammed the basketball into the basket!
170 buckled 208.

With a loud bang, the time on the scoreboard reset to zero simultaneously.

119:117, the score was settled, Luoshan won.

"It's a failure."

……

……

"Since the start of the national competition, the first round of the official competition has ended!"

"According to the votes of major basketball bloggers and fans, the results of the first round were almost as expected, and there were no upsets. It is worth mentioning that in the last game of the first round, Luoshan played against Yangquan. Is there any difference? Young fans all think that Yangquan played very well in this game! Although the defeat is honorable, then, let everyone enjoy the highlights of this game together!"

Inside the shark gym
It’s still a “basketball appointment.”

This time, both Xiangyang and Masako sat in front of the sofa and watched.

On the screen, the transition animation flashed, and all the edited highlights of the first round were broadcast one by one.

Kise and Xiangyang dunked in the air, Kagami and Kuroko passed the ball and scored, Aomine played with five opponents and succeeded in a throw...

Of course, the scenes of Akashi Akira dumping the ice room and ice room's desperate jump shot are also indispensable.

In the end, the picture freezes on the scene where Akashi takes off and buckles Murasakihara.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, this goal was rated as one of the top ten goals in this year's national competition by netizens."

Xiang Yang sighed, and although it was a top 10 goal, it was ranked more than tenth.

Masako didn't speak, looking at the TV screen, the director pointed the camera at the score scene between the two sides.

119:117, Yangquan was defeated.

Xiangyang quietly took a look at the expression on Masako's face, but didn't see anything.

Masako's expression was almost always paralyzed, but just thinking about it with her knees, Xiangyang could tell that she was definitely in a bad mood right now.

At the last moment of the game, Murasakihara frantically attacked the opponent's inside line. He indeed showed his responsibility as an ace and carried all the team's offensive end on his shoulders.

Even in the last 30 seconds, when Yangquan was still three points behind, Himuro stood up again, standing in the right corner, against the defense of two Luoshan players, and hit a floating three-pointer on offense.

Everyone felt that God was favoring Yangquan, because Himuro's three-point shooting percentage in the entire game was not outstanding, just average. This accurate three-pointer at the last moment can really be said to be God's favor. .

Unfortunately, as "God", Akashi once again proved his majesty. His status as "Captain Miracle" was really not obtained by the financial resources of the Akashi family plutocrat.

In Rakuzan's last attack, Akashi successfully observed Murasakibara's physical condition. Due to excessive force, the purple-haired monster's fuel tank had been drained dry.

That's why there was that scene, the miracle of 170 dunks and 208 happened!
If he wasn't 100% sure that Murasakibara couldn't take off, even if Akaashi was given another 10 centimeters, he would never dare to dunk on Murasakihara's head.

In fact, not only Akashi, but Xiang Yang also discovered Murasakibara's physical condition, but even when Yangquan still had a timeout, he did not choose to replace the exhausted Murasakibara.

This wave, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

Instead of having an ordinary player increase Luoshan's confidence, it would be better to let Murasakibara stay on the court and bluff.

Unfortunately, just like the card game in the "Second Miracle Gathering", no matter how skilled a player is, he still needs card strength to support him.

This time, Xiang Yang sat in the audience and the duel with Akashi ended in failure again.

"Speaking of which... I don't think I've ever beaten Akashi in anything other than the finals."

Xiang Yang touched his chin and murmured.

At this moment, the picture on the TV changed again, and a battle map was displayed on the electronic screen.

Xiang Yang looked up and saw that it was the official competition, the top eight teams that had passed the first round, and all the remaining schedules.

Game [-] of the second round

Luoshan VSXX High School
second round

Tonghuang VSXX High School
Third game

Sutoku VSXX High School
The above three miracle teams are all playing against miscellaneous teams.

After seeing the list of the first three games clearly, Xiang Yang's expression was slightly startled, and then he sighed helplessly.

Six of the top eight teams have already emerged, so the final two remaining teams are already obvious.

"Really... this is what happened in the quarterfinals. This year's national competition is really hellish."

As Xiang Yang complained, the lineup for the fourth game appeared simultaneously.

Game [-] of the second round
Kaito VS Shiro Rin!

The moment this matchup chart appeared, there was a storm on the Internet and in the basketball circle!
Last year's champions, runner-up, and quarterfinals met for the finals ahead of schedule!
Masako opened her phone and scrolled through it, with a surprised look on her face, and said, "A basketball blogger has already made a video prediction for the game between you and Cheng Rin."

"what?"

Seeing the expression on Xiang Yang's face, Masako simply handed the phone to Xiang Yang.

I saw a man wearing a raccoon mask talking in the video.

"Haichang and Cheng Rin, let's fight Qi San, Kai Chang Qi. After all, last year's Winter Cup final has already explained a lot of problems! In terms of hard power, Cheng Rin is not as good as Kai Chang, right? Let's not mention it for now. Last year, Kise Ryota committed six fouls at the beginning of the fourth quarter due to a mistake. Even if Kaijo's Kazuo had frequent singles at the last moment, Jorin couldn't handle it..."

This blogger said a lot, including but not limited to: the various ways in which Cheng Rin is weaker than Hai Chang.

He even spontaneously gave Haichang many ideas.

Using man-to-man marking at the beginning, using the advantage of more firepower to suppress Cheng Rin, or using Kuroko on the offensive end to frequently play in singles and so on.

Even Xiang Yang laughed at him, he is really a master of per capita tactics on the Internet.If it was really as easy as he said, Haichang would not have fallen into a hard fight in last year's finals.

The man-to-man tactic may be really useful for Cheng Rin, but this move is very physically demanding. If Cheng Rin is beaten to death by man-to-man marking at the beginning of the first quarter, then Xiangyang estimates that he will be in third or fourth place. Festival, all members of Kai Chang will fall into physical crisis, and will be overturned by Cheng Rin in one fell swoop.

As for using Heizi on the offensive end, this plan is indeed feasible in theory. After all, Heizi's panel ability is definitely the lowest among the "miracles". Even compared to ordinary players, he is slightly inferior.

However, the most powerful thing about the Phantom Sixth Man has always been his elusive playing style. When no one in Haichang has "visual" special skills, just being wary of Kuroko's steals has already consumed Xiang Yang's mind. Let alone picking him to play, he couldn't even see his figure, and kept looking for an open pass, which increased the risk of being intercepted by Heizi.

It's a pity that in Xiangyang's opinion, it is such a long paragraph that "nine falsehoods and one true" are true.There are a lot of people on the Internet who believe it to be true.

The words of the few Haichang fans who understand football were lost in the huge comments when they corrected the blogger.

Of course, not only Hai Chang, there are also many Chenglin fans. When a basketball blogger in Chenglin District saw this "outrageous" statement, he immediately released a counterattack video.

Fans from both sides also took out their keyboards and started fighting online.

Innocent fans were deceived and became props in the hands of bloggers to gain attention and traffic.Sadly, most people not only don’t know it, but actually enjoy it.

Praising one team and belittling others may lead to abuse from fans of other teams, but for small bloggers with pitifully few fans, they can gain traffic as long as they start a fight, and the money will be sent to them. On the hands, there is no difference.

However, not every blogger wants to make money by provoking controversy. For big bloggers, they have long passed the stage of using such small means to sensationalize.

For example, Bobo, the most popular anchor in the basketball circle, the master of Duan Shui is still stable in his speech.

"Cheng Rin fighting Haichang...well...it's hard to say, haha, it's really hard to say, brothers, but it will definitely look good, everyone is looking forward to it!"

With Duanshui bloggers like Bobo stepping forward to mediate, the tense atmosphere between Cheng Rin and Haichang fans has been eased.

However...it didn't end there!
It's the blogger who claims that Haichang beat Cheng Rin's "seven or three open". After studying the matchup map all night, this wizard discovered a new "traffic"!
"According to the matchup map of the official match, Kai Chang will have to fight Hidetoku after passing Cheng Rin, while Luoshan's opponents in the second round are not worth mentioning. Although they have to face Tonghuang in the semi-finals, the training they have endured, It’s completely incomparable with Haichang’s! When your Haichang is in full swing, I’m just waiting for work in Luoshan, just taking advantage of it!”

"I predict that this year's champion will be Luoshan!"

As soon as these words came out, the public opinion storm on the Internet exploded instantly!

In addition to the Yangquan fans who have been eliminated, the other five miracle teams all have a large fan base.

And this "strange man"'s speech indirectly dragged all five teams into the water.

At first, everyone was united and besieged the blogger, but soon, the direction of the comment area changed.

"What kind of crazy blogger? Drawing lots is based on luck. Everyone is randomly assigned opponents. Why do Luoshan get the advantage? They play less games than other teams, right?"

"Upstairs, I don't have a problem with you saying that this blogger is a hot chick, but Luoshan is picking up bargains. Isn't that obvious? Can an unknown team plus Tonghuang compete with Cheng Rin and Xiude? Hai Chang’s schedule this year is obviously more difficult than Luoshan’s!”

"Kiriou can't compare to Hidetoku? How can the Generation of Miracles, which has no leadership ability, compare to Aomine? Isn't Midorima just a weakling who can only shoot three-pointers?"

"Have you watched the North District qualifiers? You are more than 20 points ahead of us. Forget it about Luoshan and Haichang, Tonghuang can also compete with Xiude? If you can't afford the tickets, just go online and watch the videos. The game videos don't cost anything. Money."

……

And so on, in short, the Internet is in chaos right now.

As a person involved, Xiangyang didn't care about the war between the fans. The night before the game, he still stayed in the Shark Gym and trained seriously.

call--

Taking a deep breath, Xiang Yang put the barbell on the bench press back on the rack.

[Is 96 kilograms my current limit? 】

After Masako's dietary adjustments, Xiangyang's weight has stabilized at 80 kilograms. At this stage, this tonnage is just enough to allow Xiangyang to maintain his speed while maximizing his physical advantages and confrontation skills.

Compared with his weight, the barbell bench press of 96 kilograms is already between amateur fitness players and professionals. Of course, Xiangyang is not a professional fitness professional. He only does strength training to serve basketball, so this data There is still room for growth in its gold content.

Just as Xiang Yang was sitting on the cushion, feeling the feeling of torn chest muscles, Masako came over.

Like Xiang Yang who had just finished bench pressing, Masako had also just finished squat training. A little sweat from her neck wetted the collar of her yoga clothes, exuding a wild beauty.

"Have you ever been online? Recently, you have all been in the spotlight."

Masako shook the mobile phone in her hand. Since Yangquan was eliminated early this year, as the team coach, she took an early vacation in disguise. It just so happened that Masako was very obsessed with some basketball programs on TV recently. She had no idea what was happening in the online basketball circle. Naturally, we have heard about the turmoil.

Xiang Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Ang, of course I saw it."

"The players cherish each other, and the fans fight together."

A smile appeared on Xiang Yang's face. Last night, the Miracles talked about this matter in their group chat.

Akashi: I don’t have the heart to listen to the voices of a bunch of ants.

Aomine: It doesn't matter what they say, but for some reason, Emperor Kiri has been regarded as a stumbling block to Luoshan. It seems that he is looking down on me.

Kagami: That’s right!And that bastard who said that we and Haichang were "separated from each other", it was really irritating! !

Midorima: Geminis are prone to getting into verbal disputes this week, so don’t pay too much attention.

Kise: Dudududu!This year’s championship is here~
Murasakihara: A new barbecue restaurant has opened in the east. Is anyone going to eat there?
Heizi: (peeping at the screen silently)

Xiang Yang: (Subway old man expression pack)
As the core figure in public opinion, all the "miracles" maintained a unified tacit understanding without any expression.

No matter how fierce the quarrels on the Internet were, it did not affect their mood in chasing competition on the field.

In the second round, there was no suspense in the first three games. Three miracle teams advanced simultaneously. But in the fourth game, Kai Chang VS Seirin, it was not as hard a battle as many experts predicted.

Cheng Rin, who overturned Rakuzan last year and successfully advanced to the finals to fight Haichang for four quarters, seemed to have lost his soul in today's game.

Not only did they fail to unlock the "realm beyond the zone", except for Kuroko, the other four members of Cheng Lin's starting five seemed to be out of shape.

Especially Vulcan, who was once again targeted by Haichang. He failed to pull the trigger immediately, and his scoring efficiency in the entire first half was a disaster.

Under Kise's defense, Vulcan made 8 of 2 shots in the first quarter. His near-basket attacks were frequently slapped away by Kise. Standing outside the three-point line and throwing two three-pointers.

One is a master of blacksmithing, and the other is a non-conformist.

When the two sides took a break at the end of the first quarter, Xiang Yang, who was sitting on the bench of Haizuna, could even clearly hear the roar of Reiko Aida on the bench in the opposite half.

Back in the second quarter, although Xiangyang could feel that Cheng Lin was working hard to find his own form, but for Hai Chang.

Kill you while you're sick or give you a chance to find a close match?

It goes without saying.

Under Xiangyang's organization, before Cheng Rin had time to gain a firm foothold, he was defeated by Hai Chang's tidal wave of offensive.

At the end of the first half, the two sides were 61:38, with Hai Chang leading by a big score.

During the halftime break, Kise couldn't even believe his eyes. He looked at the scoreboard and opened his mouth slightly, and asked Xiangyang to pinch him a few times to see if he was dreaming.

Not only Kise, but everyone in Haichang felt a little bit unreal.

That Shiro Rin who sent Akaashi home last year and almost committed a crime and took Kaidane away, is so vulnerable today?
It sounds like an impossible thing, but Xiang Yang has some guesses about it.

Cheng Rin, which has only been building the team for about three years, has gathered five talented players by chance (or the halo of the protagonist), but their foundation is too simple.

You must know that three years ago, among the teams that reached the top eight in the country, which one was not the top player in basketball for more than ten or 20 years?Only Jorin didn't even have a basketball club three years ago.

In the past two years, Cheng Lin was united and eager to prove his strength in the world. With the whole team working together as one, and relying on momentum and perseverance, he managed to reach the national runner-up position.

For a team that has been building for about two and a half years, this kind of achievement is quite shocking!

It's a pity...miracles will not always favor Cheng Rin, this is not "Kuroko's Basketball", and they are not the protagonists.

The disadvantage of a shallow foundation is that for a team, it is natural that the performance is unstable. It is just this year that Cheng Rin showed his weakness.

At the end of the game, 107:95, Hai Chang won.

In the second half, Chenglin did regain their form. Although they failed to explode, they still showed their due strength, but it was too late.

Hai Chang, who didn't give the opponent the slightest chance, successfully relied on the advantage he had in the first half to tangle with Cheng Rin in the fourth quarter.

Even before reaching the endgame, the suspense has disappeared.

In the fourth game of the second round, Hai Chang wins!

(As for Cheng Rin in the second year, it was actually written in the manga at the end. There was no competition plot. It just said that Cheng Rin won the semi-finals and did not enter the finals. In order to respect the original work, of course there is also the selfish intention of speeding up the pace a bit. , I decided! Let this game pass~)
