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

Chapter 165 The villain died of too much talk
"After a short slump, the Xiude players finally found their own rhythm and successfully narrowed the point difference to less than five points before the end of the first half!"

Halftime timeout, 68:64, Hai Chang only led by four points.

In the live broadcast room, Nini smacked her lips and sighed: "The scoring efficiency of both sides is amazing. The total score in the two quarters has reached 132. I feel that this will be a super big score!"

Shasha also nodded in agreement with Nini's words. Hai Chang's offensive end has always been strong, but he didn't expect that Xiude was not afraid of them at all in this aspect. After falling behind slightly in the first quarter, he actually chased after them in the second quarter and tied the score again. Cha pulled back.

Bobo on the side heard this and did not say anything. He just looked at the player data provided to him by the organizer in front of him.

Kaichan's players scored evenly. Among the 68 points, except for Kise who scored 20 points, the other four players all scored more than [-] points.For a full four quarters of a basketball game, this scoring distribution is undoubtedly very healthy. Each of them is in a state of firepower that can score.

On the other hand, although Hidetoku was not far behind Kaijo in terms of points, a full 64 of the team's 35 points came from Shintaro Midorima, with 11 three-pointers and two free throws.The data seems luxurious, but it also reflects a problem.

Most of Showtoku's overall offense relies on Midorima.

If this data is paralyzed in front of the audience, many people will be able to find the problem. However, just looking at the game screen, most people can only feel that Midorima is playing very well, and he will not deliberately shoot. Pay attention to this issue.

Bobo thought for a while and made up his mind to implement the art of "carrying water" to the end!
"Kaizune's offense is as stable as ever, but Shutoku's performance today is also very good. The player Midorima Shintaro scored 35 points in the first half alone. He is very hopeful to break the national competition, and a single player scores in a single game. The highest record..."

Several words of praise poured out of Bobo's mouth. Even if he discovered the problems that occurred during the Show Derby game, what does that have to do with him being a little "basketball blogger"?

He is only responsible for serving the fans and spectators of the two teams. How to solve the problems within the team and win the game is what the coaches of both sides should do!
By the way, the current record for the highest score by a single player in a single game in a national competition comes from Qingfeng during the summer split.

Still in the "paranoid version of Kobe" mode, in a life-and-death battle with Cheng Rin, he scored 66 points alone, breaking the national competition record, but ultimately lost...

Not only that, looking at many games in history, most of the games in which a single player scored high scores ended in failure.

Basketball is, after all, a team game.

Returning to the game, Bobo could see the problem, and Xiudoku coach Hitoshi Nakatani was naturally not unaware of it.

He frowned and looked at the tactical board in his hand, and wanted to deploy tactics many times. However, in the end, these unsaid words turned into a sigh, and looked at Midorima and Takao with expectant and sincere eyes. .

Takao:…

"Coach, there is no need to change tactics, just play at the same pace as the first half."

Midorima sat on the bench and gently rubbed the wristband on his hand.

Due to the continuous difficult three-pointers in the second quarter, Midorima's face is now red, but this does not affect the surging fighting spirit in his eyes at all.

Nakatani Hitoshi sighed deeply and reluctantly agreed to Midorima's request.

The team lost three senior starters at once, and Xiude's cards were too small.

"Okay, but Midorima, you have to try to stabilize your shots. In the fourth quarter...Sidetoku can't do it without you."

"I see."

……

……

On the other side, Hai Chang's bench

Xiang Yang had just finished explaining the key points of the second half to his teammates, but he received a wave of contemptuous and strange looks.

Xiang Yang was stunned. He looked at Huang Lai next to him with a look of disgust on his face, and stabbed him with his hand unceremoniously: "What are you doing? If you think there is something wrong or wrong with what I said, it doesn't matter if you just say it. It's not like I can't listen. Enter the tyrant who suggested it."

"No, no, what Xiang Yangyou said is very good, and it sounds very feasible. We just think that this tactic is too inappropriate, right?"

The very nervous Xiaohori always said whatever he thought of. He scratched his head, still thinking about what Xiang Yang said just now.

few minutes ago

Xiangyang: "Next, increase the defense of Xiudoku's other players and appropriately reduce the pressure on Midorima. Ryota, you can give Midorima more easy shooting opportunities and don't press them too tightly."

Kise: "Why?"

"When a beast faces a desperate situation, it will try its best to seek a chance to survive. But if you give it a little hope, it will hesitate to risk its life."

"For the current Shutoku, Midorima is the life-saving straw. As long as he doesn't fall for a moment, they will always hold on to the lucky mentality that "it will be enough with Midorima", thereby increasing the pressure on Midorima. .”

Xiangyang's tone was very confident. Even if Midorima kept playing three-and-three, Kaitsune, who was in a dominant position, could change his tactics at any time.As for Xiude, whose physical strength was far inferior, he could only be led by Haichang and eventually die slowly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in Haichang took a breath of cold air. Takeuchi, who had been sitting on the edge and remained calm, was also secretly rejoicing in his heart: Fortunately, this guy is in Haichang.

Yuuki even took out a notebook from nowhere and recorded everything Xiang Yang said just now.

If you look closely, you can also find a line written on the cover of the notebook: One Thousand and One Ideas to Defeat Senior Xiangyang.

Kise kept tutting and shaking his head, looking at Xiude's bench next door with a hint of unbearable.

"I hope that after this game is over, Xiao Midorima will not become autistic..."

……

……

Beep - third quarter game
Hai Chang has the right to serve first
Although the score difference was very close, Hai Chang's overall offense was still in order, and his movement and shot selection in each round were very good.

After many pick-and-rolls, Xiangyang found a gap, received Yuuki's pass, took an open three-pointer, and successfully scored.

Watching the basketball go hollow into the net, Xiangyang stepped back, making pistol gestures with both hands, blowing on them alternately to his mouth, then making a Western cowboy's move of putting the gun away to his waist.

Talent: Cheers after goals are activated.

"Xiang Yang is a player who really likes to do celebrations. Since the first summer game, he has performed many interesting moves for the audience."

Watching Xiang Yang's goals and celebrations being replayed on the big screen, Bobo smiled at the corners of his eyes and explained to the audience again.

"This was one of the celebration moves that Xiangyang liked to do last year. Many fans even gave this move a name, "Retract the Gun. I have to say it's very vivid."

"In addition, there are three-finger headshots, hand spreads, neck wiping, etc. Xiang Yang, a player, can make a collection of celebrations alone."

At the scene, as soon as Xiang Yang's "shut up" action came out, many spectators started to cheer. Although Xiang Yang's playing style was not so flashy, his colorful celebrations and his lively personality made him stand out. It can attract many fans.

"This guy is really popular."

Takao secretly sighed, the dribbling movement in his hand is not slow, and he pushed forward again halfway, looking for scoring opportunities.

"Ok?"

Takao let out a sigh, and under the "Eagle Eyes", he saw all the trivial things that happened on the field.

Hai Chang's defense this time is completely different from the first half!
In the past, besides Kise, there would be at least one defender of Kaidune near Midorima, waiting for an opportunity to cooperate with Kise to double-team, but this time, Kise was the only one around Midorima!
Not only that, even Kise's position is slightly inside, standing in a position where he can help defend his teammates at any time, while for Midorima, there is basically no defensive strength.

"Xiao Zhen."

Takao called softly, and his hand movements were not slow at all. Although he subconsciously felt something was wrong, the scoring opportunity was right in front of him. Of course, he had to get it first.

Midorima caught the ball at the top of the arc. He glanced at Kise from the corner of his eye and found that although the latter stepped forward slightly, he still left a lot of space for him.This is completely different from the defensive attitude in the first half.

Without hesitation, Midorima immediately raised his hands and took off. Kise just stepped in to defend him symbolically, then let Midorima hit another open three-pointer.

Next, every offensive and defensive round of the two teams was like a microcosm of this attack. Kaidō's offensive rounds still continued the attacking rhythm of the first two quarters. Only on the defensive end, for Midorima, Kise changed to Eye-catching defense.

Halfway through the third quarter, with Midorima making another three-pointer, the score finally tied.

76:76, this is the first time in the entire game that Xiude tied the score.

"What does this feel like...why...something is always wrong..."

Takao frowned slightly, looking at the score on the scoreboard, feeling uneasy for no reason.

It was another round of Xiude's offensive round. Hai Chang's defense did not change just because the score was tied, but continued to implement Xiang Yang's arrangement.

Seeing the opportunity appearing in front of Midorima on the wing, Takao was about to pass the ball, but stopped halfway.

Xiang Yang was stunned by Takao's action. He touched the tip of his nose and asked with a smile on his face: "What's wrong? Why don't you pass the ball? Your ace can't wait any longer. His desire to score is , I can feel it even standing here.”

After saying that, Xiang Yang gestured towards Takao to signal Midorima. At this moment, Midorima's knees were slightly bent and he was ready to catch the ball and shoot.

However, Takao did not pass the ball as before. Instead, he frowned and looked at Xiang Yang in front of him.

"Although I don't know what you are planning, but...your purpose is to keep Xiaozhen taking action, right?"

Faced with Takao's question, Xiangyang was noncommittal. After all, it was so obvious that anyone could see it.

"But one thing I don't understand is, if you are going to consume Xiao Zhen's physical strength, then why should you let him go?"

Takao asked the question in his mind while dribbling low to guard against Xiangyang's steal.

If it was to bring down Midorima, then there was no need for Kaitsune to do what he was doing now, leaving Kise alone to stand in front of him and pretending. Although Kise's defensive actions seemed serious, but if he wanted to guard Midorima, Slight interference has no effect.

This time, Xiang Yang didn't answer, just pointed at the time on the scoreboard.

Half of the 24 seconds of attack have passed. If Takao doesn't attack again, Xiude will violate the 24-second rule again.

[What should I do...should I pass the ball to Midorima again...]

There was no need for Xiangyang to remind him, Takao naturally knew that the time was coming, and there was a trace of struggle in his eyes, not knowing what decision to make.

On the wing, Midorima didn't react much when he saw this scene. He still stood quietly, waiting for the high-tail pass.

Even if the ball was not passed to him in the end, Midorima would not have any complaints.

Just like Kagami believes in Kuroko and Kise believes in Himahi, Midorima also has 100% trust in Takao.

"Huh - I don't know what you want to do though..."

Takao closed his eyes and exhaled, and when he opened them again, his eyes became determined.

"But no matter what, I definitely can't follow your wishes!"

As soon as Takao finished speaking, he made a breakthrough with his crotch. Regardless of his special "eyes", in terms of breakthrough ability alone, Takao was not bad at all.

Xiang Yang reacted quickly. As soon as he noticed the high-tail movement, he changed his position and followed up with sliding defense.

It's a pity that Gao Wei is a point guard known for his speed. Since Xiang Yang didn't expect him to play in isolation in advance, he was really caught off guard.

With a quick pick to the basket, Takao successfully took advantage of Xiangyang's reduced speed as he gained weight, scoring two points for Xiude.

"What a goal! In this way, Xiude will lead the score!"

"Is this the first time they've taken the lead all game?"

"That guard with glasses is so accurate in shooting. He hasn't missed a single goal so far! Oops, I seem to like this team a little bit!"

Sparse discussions resounded in the audience, and many neutral fans had changed their minds and switched to Xiude's side.

It's a pity that Takao didn't hear it, but even if he heard it, he probably wouldn't be happy at this time, because...

"Really, I didn't expect you to see through it. Although I couldn't guess everything, you deserve a compliment just for holding back from passing the ball to Midorima, Takao."

Xiang Yang clapped and looked at Takao with a hint of approval in his eyes. The expression on his face did not change just because Takao scored a goal. He always seemed to be unfazed.

Seeing Xiang Yang's expression at this moment, Takao became even more uneasy. He secretly observed the situation, fearing that something that he couldn't understand would suddenly appear somewhere.

"Don't be so nervous, Mr. Takao."

Xiangyang spread his hands, passed the ball to Yuuki, and then walked to the corner alone. Perhaps because of his interest, he suddenly had the idea of ​​chatting with Takao for a while.

"You know, if a sparrow is raised every day for food and clothing, it will soon lose its hunting and survival instinct and can only survive by clinging to its owner."

Xiangyang put his hands on his knees and watched Yuuki organize the attack with interest while talking to Takao.

"Huh? This story is quite fresh. What next?"

Takao pursed his lips. Although he couldn't understand what Xiangyang meant, if Xiangyang didn't attack and just chatted with him, Takao would be willing to listen no matter how boring the words were.

"Hey, don't be so perfunctory, I'm just telling you this with the intention of rewarding you!"

Xiang Yang was a little dissatisfied. It was rare for him to open the champagne halfway and explain everything to Takao before winning the game.

After hearing this, Takao straightened his face, made a gesture of listening, and waited patiently for Xiang Yang to continue.

"Listen carefully, the protagonist in that fresh story you are telling me is none other than you Xiude."

"The protagonist is Xiude...ang??"

Takao subconsciously wanted to nod in agreement, but then he reacted and turned around to look at Xiang Yang, finding that the expression on the latter's face had become extremely cunning at this moment.

"Did you realize it? You guys who have been relying on Midorima to score points are exactly the sparrows that have lost their ability to hunt."

Xiang Yang smiled brightly.

"Recall your teammates, starting from the second half, you didn't choose to take action when faced with the few opportunities we missed, right? In this game, they are useless."

For a moment, the expression on Takao's face became uncertain. His mind flashed through the scene of the game just now, trying to find any discrepancies with Xiangyang's description.

Unfortunately... can't find it.

This is not a bluff, Xiangyang is not talking nonsense. The current Xiude, except for Midorima and Takao who just broke through and scored, the other three players can no longer contribute anything on the offensive end except grabbing rebounds and defense.

Relying on Midorima to score without touching the ball for a long time has already sent a hint in their hearts.

[As long as the ball is passed to Midorima, even if they don't score a point, they still have a chance to win this game! 】

"I see... This is why you have allowed Xiao Zhen to attack since the third quarter... What a good plan, Xiangyang!"

Takao bit his lip and said harshly: "Then let me tell you a story. Villains die because they talk too much. This is something that even children know, but you don't seem to understand?"

If Xiang Yang doesn't tell Takao, then even if he discovers something is wrong, it won't help.But now, after Gao Wei knows about it, even if he can't think of a way in a short time, he will definitely try his best to make adjustments, at least he will not remain indifferent and die slowly.

"It's true. This time it's true that I'm too arrogant. But for you to say that we are villains, is that too much?"

Xiang Yang stretched out, and while letting out a "hum", his eyes also glanced at the restricted area.

Yuuki cooperated with Kise, and the two played a wonderful round of alley-oop cooperation and easily scored two points.

Even if Xiang Yang doesn't participate in the attack, there won't be any problems with the current Hai Chang team.

"If I lose this game because of me, I will apologize to my teammates after the game, but..."

"This shouldn't happen, Mr. Takao."

The villain will die from talking too much, but the protagonist will not.
