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

Chapter 166 91 points in a single game

End of third quarter

91:88, Xiude leads.

Midorima sat down on the bench with an expressionless expression. Although there was no disturbance on the surface, his rapid breathing had revealed a lot.

【Midorima's physical strength has bottomed out! 】

Zhongtani Renliang scratched his head, feeling anxious and helpless at the same time.

Throughout the third quarter, although I don't know why the pressure on Midorima from Kaijo's defense suddenly decreased a lot, but he kept tightening his muscles to complete the attack, and Midorima's physical exertion was definitely not small.

"There's one last quarter left, and the good news is we're in the lead now...high tail, high tail?"

"what!"

Hearing his coach's call, Takao raised his head sharply and recovered from his daze.

Nakatani Hitoshi looked at Takao and frowned: "Takao, are you okay? Did that guy say anything to you?" After saying that, Nakatani Hitoshi glanced at Xiang Yang in the next half. At the beginning of the third quarter, He also saw the scene of the two standing in the corner chatting.

Takao's lips twitched, but he finally just shook his head.

Hitoshi Nakatani glanced at Takao, then turned around and reminded everyone of Showtoku's tactics and tasks in the fourth quarter.

This arrogant coach did not doubt whether Takao had a mental problem. He just thought that he was too tired after playing for a long time.

However, just when Coach Xiude turned his head, Takao quietly clenched his fists in a place where he could not see, with a very confused look on his face.

【What should I do…】

Even though Xiang Yang took the initiative to reveal Hai Chang's tactical intentions to Takao, at this point in the game, Hai Chang's "psychological offensive" had already succeeded.

Showtoku's team scored 91 points, 62 of which were scored by Midorima alone, and more than half of the remaining 20 points came from Takao. As for the other three Showtoku players, when they were standing on the court in the second half of the third quarter, They no longer have any belief in scoring goals.

"As long as they pass the ball to Lujian, they won't need to work hard to get points from Haichang to win the game."

This was led by Xiang Yang and the psychological hint set by Haichang's team to Xiude.

What's even scarier is that they have succeeded.

[Should I talk to the coach... But even if I do, it can't be solved at all now... I haven't touched the ball much in the whole game, and forcing them to attack with the ball will only ruin the situation...]

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Takao found out very sadly that Shutoku had no way out now, and what was even worse was that, except for him, all Shutoku members still held the belief that "you can win by relying on Midorima." " idea.

Just as Takao gradually fell into a state of despair and self-isolation, Midorima suddenly raised his hand, grabbed Takao's chin, and positioned his face to face his own eyes.

"Ah?"

Takao was stunned. He didn't react to the sudden change. Soon, his scattered eyes refocused. He looked squarely at Midorima in front of him and asked, "What's wrong, Makoto-chan?"

Due to the exhaustion of body functions, Midorima's breathing was still not steady, but he looked at Takao very seriously.

"There's something wrong with you, Takao."

Takao was stunned. Before he could speak, Midorima said again: "Can you put everything that has nothing to do with victory behind your head? Takao, we don't have time to think so much now."

After saying this, Midorima looked at the scoreboard. Xiutei was indeed two points ahead, but Midorima knew in his heart that with his current physical strength, it was impossible to win the game.

He needs help!
Takao didn't speak. He covered his face with one hand and smoothed the bangs on his forehead. He looked up at the lights above the arena and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Xiao Zhen, can I understand that you are telling me that you need me?"

Takao looked at Midorima with a teasing expression, and when the latter heard Takao's words, he turned his head unnaturally and said stiffly: "I didn't, I just reminded you that we are still competing."

[Hahaha, you are such a tsundere. 】

Takao smiled hoarsely, and a hint of dexterity flashed in his eyes again.

"Ang, thank you Xiaozhen, I know what to do next."

beep—

The referee's whistle happened to blow at this moment.

The fourth quarter of the decisive battle between Xiude and Haizhang has finally arrived.

"Let's go. We've played a whole section. It seems a bit too much to give the other side hope."

Xiang Yang waved and took the lead in leading Hai Chang and everyone back to the stadium. Behind him, there was no trace of nervousness on the faces of all Hai Chang players.Some are just the desire to win and self-confidence.

Firmly believe that victory belongs to oneself, even if the score is behind, there is no doubt.This is Haichang's wealth background and champion pedigree.

"Huh? Takao, your eyes seem to have changed."

Xiang Yang took the initiative to walk up to Gao Wei and talk to him. He glanced around Gao Wei and keenly noticed his changes.

Takao didn't answer, but looked at Xiang Yang who was standing next to him, with a solemn look in his eyes.

In the fourth quarter of the game, if Hai Chang wants to win the game without giving Xiude any chance, then they will start with full firepower.

For Midorima, whose physical strength has reached the bottom, it is already obvious what tactics Kaitune will adopt in order to completely suppress him.

Man-to-man defense throughout the court!
Realizing that Takao had seen through his intentions, Xiang Yang simply shrugged and stopped pretending.

Squatting down slightly on his knees, Xiangyang opened his arms to block Takao, raised his eyebrows and said, "Come on."

beep! ! !
When the serving whistle sounded, the experienced Gaowei immediately ran to one side and left Xiangyang's defensive range, resolving the serving crisis in this round.

However, the greatest damage of "full-court man-to-man marking" also begins at this moment.

Xiang Yang made a fierce step and squeezed Gao Wei's side. The advantage brought by his weight made Gao Wei unable to resist and break away. Fortunately, Gao Wei, who had outstanding speed, finally used a half-turn to successfully carry the ball across the half court. .

In the first five seconds of the fourth quarter, the point guards of both sides had already launched several offensive and defensive duels. Although Gao Tail did not lose the ball, the continuous acceleration in a short period of time still made his breathing somewhat disordered.

As a defender, Xiang Yang's physical exertion is also not small. However, as early as the first quarter, he was ready for the full-court press in the fourth quarter. In terms of physical strength management, he did a lot of things. street.

At this moment, his expression was as usual, and he looked at Gao Wei with a smile from the corner of his eyes. From time to time, he would step forward to steal and interfere with Gao Wei's dribbling rhythm, causing the latter to suffer.

"Takao!"

Seeing that his point guard was in trouble, Midorima had already put all the responsibility on his shoulders. He immediately ran and reached for the ball. Even though his steps were a little unsteady, his eyes were still firm.

[If I can’t stand up at this time, then who else can? 】

There was a roar in his heart. After receiving the high-tailed pass, Midorima did not hesitate in the face of Kise's defense. He decisively dropped the ball and broke through. The moment he rushed out, he pulled back with his hips. He jumped into the space and hit another ball. A difficult three-pointer!

Hollow into the net, Xiude's three-pointer is valid!
"Good shot, good shot, come on Xiude!!"

"Isn't this guy's shooting too accurate?"

As Midorima made another difficult three-pointer, the audience suddenly burst into exclamations.

So far, Midorima has scored 66 points, tying the record for the highest score in a single game set by Aomine last year. By the time this game is over, it is almost certain that Midorima will become the new record holder.

At the same time, Midorima also scored No. 20 three-pointers in this game!
Many spectators in the auditorium were now fans of Midorima, and among them there were some Kaiju fans who had defected before the battle, and were impressed by Midorima.

"Wow, wow (sorry, sorry), Xiaolu plays like that, it's really hard to defend."

Kise raised his hand and apologized to his teammates one after another. Even though he knew that Midorima would definitely choose to shoot a three-pointer, he still couldn't guard him.

A difficult three-pointer with a 100% shooting rate is really too abnormal.

Of course everyone in Haichang would not blame Kise for this, after all, even Kise who was in a "perfect" state couldn't defend against Midorima, let alone other people.

"It doesn't matter. Now, if that guy says he will fall to the ground in the next second, I will believe it."

Xiangyang looked at Luma's back as he swayed back to the scene step by step, narrowed his eyes slightly, secretly surprised but also admired in his heart.

No matter what, hard work should not be laughed at.

Even though Midorima's current step-by-step movements are a bit funny, everyone in the venue only looks at him with admiration.

"Ganba dad (come on)! Xiude!"

From somewhere, a voice suddenly sounded, and the next moment, many fans in the stadium echoed this sentence.

"Ganba Daddy! Xiude!"

"Ganba Daddy! Xiude!"

Even the most devout Haichang fans among them were moved by it at this moment and gave Xiude their own applause.

I have to say that the morning divination in the black basket is really a very mysterious thing. Regardless of the outcome of this game, Gemini really got everyone's voice today.

Midorima raised his right arm high and pointed to the sky with one hand. Although he looked a little embarrassed at the moment because of his shortness of breath, everyone paid tribute to him.

Under the reflection of the light, the sports wristband worn on Midorima's right wrist gave off a little fluorescence.

Takao, who was standing beside Midorima, took a deep breath and shouted: "Get on guard!"

In an instant, the three first-year students, Shutoku, looked solemn at the same time. Kimura and Miyachi stood hand in hand in the penalty area. Their previously confused eyes were no longer filled with determination.Even if you haven't touched the ball for a long time and feel cold, defense is a dead end. Don't look at the feel, just the attitude!

Seeing this scene, Xiang Yang, who had just received the serve from his teammate, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

In previous games, the atmosphere at the scene was controlled by Hai Chang. This was the first time since he won last year's summer split that it felt like playing away from home.

"It's true... this way, it seems like we are really villains."

Xiang Yang secretly spat, feeling a little uncomfortable.

In fierce competitions, the influence of off-field factors is critical.Maybe the applause and cheers from a certain audience can bring a momentary epiphany to the players on the court.

For Haichang's offensive round, Xiang Yang didn't organize any tactics this time, but passed it directly to Huang Lai to deal with it.

For Midorima, who lacks physical strength, defending against Kise's attack is like a bitch visiting a brothel, waiting to be stabbed.

Kise made a nimble change of direction in front of him, and instantly passed Midorima. He jumped up and pulled up at the free throw line and scored easily.

94:90, Xiude leads.

"There shouldn't be any big problems. It's almost impossible for Xiaolu to guard against me now."

Kise said with a smile, golden light looming in his eyes.

Kaijo, who has been playing as a team until now, each person retains the most basic combat ability. With Kise's current state, even if he maintains a "flawless" state until the end of the game, it will be no problem at all.

However, it wasn't long before Kise's smile froze on his face.

I saw Midorima dribbling just across half court. Before Kise could step forward to defend, he shot a three-pointer from midfield. With a "swish" sound, Midorima's single-game scoring record increased by three. point!

"No, can he still pull up and shoot from that position?"

Kise was dumbfounded. He originally thought that with Midorima's current physical condition, not only that he had lost the ability to fight, he would at least have to stand near the three-point line in order to shoot a difficult three-pointer, right?

"This pervert really doesn't put things like shooting range in the logical column."

Xiang Yang cursed, and this time he caught the ball and hit it alone. Taking advantage of his body's crushing advantage, Xiang Yang directly resisted the high tail. He was at the three-point line and responded with a three-pointer.

Just 2 minutes had passed in the fourth quarter, and the score difference between the two sides had once again reached four points.

Although Xiangyang was basically convinced that Midorima's current physical condition could not support him to complete the game, but in case something went wrong, Kaitsuru still had to deal with it carefully.

"Stop playing with the boys, give them some intensity."

Xiang Yang licked the corner of his mouth, and seriousness emerged from his usually cynical eyes.He stretched out his hand to lift up his trousers, and white lightning flashed past.

At the same time, the Haichang insider duo also gradually increased their intensity of confrontation. When the game entered the fourth quarter, the referee's whistle scale was relaxed by default to maintain the smoothness of the game.

Yuuki is the only one who follows Xiangyang's teachings and still acts as a shooting tool honestly, hiding his own strength.

"Ouch!!"

Kobori, who has always been very nervous, rarely showed his sophisticated side when faced with the inexperienced Xiude insider.

He wanted to catch the ball with one hand, turned around and feinted and successfully deceived the defender. With a flick of his arm, he threw the basketball. Although he failed to score, he succeeded in getting a foul.

Unfortunately, the reliable Kobori-senpai is also quite "reliable" in terms of free throw shooting percentage.

There were two clanging sounds.

Xiaobori made two free throws.

Sitting off the court, Takeuchi's face turned dark. He looked at Kobori, who was scratching his head and accepting Xiangyang's instructions. He secretly swore in his heart that after this game, he would practice free throws for Kobori!
In the final quarter when the score is so anxious, even a coach can't bear the embarrassment of missing two free throws.

In addition, Midorima was hitting three-pointers one after another. The most annoying thing is that this guy's physical strength is at the bottom, but his three-point shooting rate is still [-]%!

Xiang Yang looked at Midorima with a numb face as he walked unsteadily, as if he was about to fall to the ground the next moment, but the next second he was thrown into a scene with a super long three-point shot, and his heart suddenly felt mixed.

"I'm so a**! This guy is even more inhuman than Aomine!"

Although Qingfeng is exhausted, he can still use his "irregular shooting" to catch the defender off guard.But the decrease in speed and strength will also reduce its threat by a notch.

However, Midorima is different. Even if this guy has no physical strength, his shooting posture is still as steady as an old dog. Even if he moves as slow as a snail, when he jumps into space and pulls up, his upper body can still remain stable, and he can still keep that damn ridiculous three-pointer. Score and hit the basket.

Soon, not only Xiangyang, but also Takeuchi, who was sitting on the bench and posing, couldn't hold back any longer.

Kaitsune can score points in almost every round of his offense, but unlike the near-basket attack, even if he is as strong as Kise and Xiang Yang, there is no guarantee that every three-pointer will be made.And three points are always one more than two points.

Swish!
Another difficult three-pointer
At this moment, Midorima's single-game score has reached 82 points!At the same time, the point difference between the two teams is gradually widening.

118:111, Xiude leads, with 5 minutes left in the game.

Xiang Yang frowned, and the "King of the End" was quietly opened. Kise's aura changed, and he was going to imitate Midorima.Takeuchi was rubbing his hands, hesitating whether to call a timeout.

The atmosphere around Hai Chang seemed a little tense at the moment.

Controlling a whole game and being overturned at the last moment, who can bear it?
When Xiangyang and Kise secretly decided to give it a try...

Mutation!

Midorima, who had just completed a round of attacks and retreated back to the field, suddenly swayed for some reason, and then fell heavily to the ground.

At this moment, time seemed to be silent. Takao was the first to react, not even guarding Xiang Yang who was holding the ball and preparing to attack. He rushed up with a quick stride and knelt down beside Midorima.

"Xiao Zhen! Xiao Zhen! Are you okay!"

"Uh ah...Takao, don't be so loud..."

Midorima panted heavily and stopped Takao's shouting beside him. Lying on the ground, he looked at the lights on the ceiling, with unwillingness in his eyes.

At the same time, Xiude's entire team and the coach surrounded him. Xiang Yang also stopped his dribbling attack and stood in the distance quietly watching the crowd make strange noises.

The referee blew the whistle to pause the game, communicated with the on-site doctor arranged by the organizer, and stepped forward to check Midorimazu's physical condition.

"It shouldn't be anything serious. He's just too tired. He just needs to rest for a while. But he won't be able to play in the next game."

The doctor's diagnosis was quick. After all, Midorima looked like he was fine. He just had a slight loss of strength in his limbs. It was nothing serious.

Everyone in the arena breathed a sigh of relief, including the audience in the auditorium. All of them were basically impressed by Midorima's terrifying performance on the field.

As Midorima was helped off the stage, a burst of applause broke out from the audience.

This time, all Hai Chang's fans applauded.

Midorima's final score in this game was fixed at 91 points at this moment. In the future, Midorima's highest scoring record in a single game was once rated as "one of the most difficult to break records."
