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

Chapter 167 The prophet will not survive the next day

"In the match between Xiude and Hai Chang, the final score between the two sides was fixed at 131:126, and Hai Chang won the final victory."

In the live broadcast room, Bobo looked at the scene with a sigh on his face. Many people in Xiude shed tears in the scene, and his tone during the explanation could not help but slow down a bit.

"In this game, Showtoku's Shintaro Midorima played very well. He scored a total of 91 points, and also had 5 assists and 4 rebounds. He took 27 three-pointers and made 27 of 27 shots! The scoring efficiency was [-]% !”

As soon as these words came out, Sasha and Nini next to Bobo let out a very cooperative exclamation. Apart from caring about the effect of the show, they were indeed shocked by Midorima.

"27 of 27 shots... I don't know if it's unprecedented, but it's definitely unprecedented."

Bobo paused, took a tactical sip of water, and continued: "In the fourth quarter of the game, Showtoku's ace player Midorima ended up playing due to excessive consumption and lack of physical strength. At that time, the score between Showtoku and Kaijo was still 118:111, Xiude leads."

"Just after Midorima left the field, Hidetoku's offensive ability dropped sharply. At the same time, Kaijo did not give up this opportunity. A wave of continuous attacks with a tight rhythm successfully hit a 3:13 shock wave in 5 minutes, reversing the situation. Score! At the last moment of the game, Xiude's point guard Takao also stepped up and hit several key goals, but unfortunately... still lost to Hai Chang."

"The Haichang twins scored a total of 67 points in this game. Kise had 38 points, 3 assists and 7 rebounds, and Xiangyang had 29 points, 12 assists and 2 rebounds. They both performed well. At the same time, Haichang's other players all scored in double figures. Haichang Once again, they proved their ability to the outside world!"

"Let us congratulate Hai Chang for successfully entering the finals!"

Ka Ka Ka Ka!

Shutter sound mixed with flash

Xiang Yang was sitting in the post-game player interview seat, and Takeuchi was sitting next to him.

In fact, according to Takeuchi's character, unless the team has won the championship, he will not allow his players to have contact with media reporters and the like, but Xiang Yang is an exception.

In the previous interview, Xiang Yang not only responded with ease, but also didn't look a little impatient after it was over, so Takeuchi felt relieved to bring him along for the interview this time.

"Mr. Xiangyang, how do you feel after winning this game?"

A male reporter with a kind face asked the question first.

Xiang Yang, who had previous experience, was naturally able to handle such a simple question at his fingertips.

"I feel very happy now. Yes, I feel great after winning the game. I just want to finish the interview quickly, and then go home and take a shower and lie in bed."

Hearing this, the reporters all chuckled. Xiang Yang's little joke made the distance between the two parties narrower.

However, even if the atmosphere improves, there will still be problems of "digging holes". After all, reporters are the ones who eat this bowl of food.

As the understated questions passed by one after another, a reporter with a goatee with a thin face and shrewd eyes slowly asked: "Mr. Xiangyang, do you have anything to say about Xiude who was defeated by you today? If If possible, can you share your thoughts about Cheng Lin who lost to you in the quarterfinals?"

Xiang Yang raised his head slightly and took a look at the reporter who asked this question. The latter smiled bitterly and then said: "As you know, Mr. Xiang Yang, the fans are very concerned about these two games. Well, Especially Cheng Rin.”

After saying that, the reporter shrugged as if nothing happened, but the surrounding atmosphere became a bit colder.

Takeuchi frowned slightly and observed Xiang Yang's expression. With his trust and understanding of Xiang Yang, he was not worried that the latter would say something inappropriate, but he was still curious about what Xiang Yang would say.

【Will you say next question, or...】

Not only Takeuchi, but most of the reporters around him thought that Xiang Yang would answer this question with his classic sentences, including the reporter who asked the question, who also thought so.

But this time, Xiang Yang unexpectedly chose to answer directly.

"Well, I also saw the way some Xiude players shed tears after losing the game. I won't say that this is bad. In fact, if we lose today's game, I will probably be sad enough to want to cry."

Xiang Yang held the microphone in front of him so that he could speak more comfortably. He pondered for a while and continued: "Perhaps many people think that this is too exaggerated. In fact, it is indeed true. For non-Chinese people, For professional basketball players, this is just a basketball game and a club activity for high school students. It would be outrageous to shed tears over such a trivial matter..."

"But this is the game we have experienced. Only those who stand on the field will know the joy of winning the game and the unwillingness and pain after losing."

Speaking of this, Xiang Yang took a deep breath. Unknowingly, the crowd that had been making some noise just now was completely silent. The reporter who asked the question about "digging holes" also looked at him with awe. , looking at Xiangyang.

"Oh, by the way, you asked me what I wanted to say to them, right?"

Xiang Yang scratched his head, smiled at the camera, and said, "Come on, Hai Chang will still be standing here next year, waiting for you to challenge."

"Cough cough!"

Takeuchi calmly covered his mouth and coughed twice, casting an approving glance at Xiangyang.

Xiang Yang was not polite, and showed his hands to Takeuchi in a very disgusting way, trying to dig a hole for him with some trivial questions. Do you really think that his talent "leader's speech" is just for show?
Next, the reporters asked Xiang Yang more or less misleading questions, but he resolved them one by one. Near the end, a petite female reporter with short shoulder-length hair squeezed into Xiang Yang's body. forward.

"Hello Mr. Xiangyang, I am a fan of Hai Chang!"

The moment the microphone was handed over, the female reporter said to Xiang Yang with bright eyes, as if she had seen her idol.

Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows and responded: "If this was a fan meeting, I would give you an autograph without hesitation. Thank you."

Xiang Yang's words made the reporter look even more excited. Her hand holding the microphone was trembling slightly, and she couldn't hide the excitement in her heart.

Fortunately, this reporter's professionalism was acceptable and she did not forget what she was here for. After taking two deep breaths, she asked Xiang Yang: "Mr. Xiang Yang, do you have any thoughts on joining the Neon National Team? ?According to an interview report from a basketball association president, he said that there are many good prospects among the high school players in this class, and the future Neon National Team will be full of talents!"

Hearing this, Xiangyang's expression, which had been smiling just now, suddenly froze, but he quickly adjusted it back and ignored Takeuchi's gaze beside him. He said to the female reporter: "I can regard this sentence as Compliment, Miss Reporter?"

"Of course, Mr. Xiangyang, if you are not considered a good prospect, then I think this threshold is too high!"

The female reporter's tone was very light, and she was very happy to hear Xiang Yang joking with her.

Xiang Yang also smiled. He looked up at the camera not far away, and said softly, "Thank you, Miss Reporter, but I have no intention of joining the Neon National Team."

"So...Next question."

……

Haichang players locker room

Takeuchi and Xiangyang, who had just finished the interview, returned to the locker room one after another.

Just like at the end of the Winter Cup last year, Haichang's other players have already left the arena first. In the huge locker room, only Takeuchi and Xiangyang are left.

Takeuchi stood at the door, silently watching Xiang Yang who went to the closet to pack his things. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and started smoking.

Ding!
The crisp sound of the lighter spread through the air and reached Xiangyang's ears.

"Please, Coach Takeuchi, there are children here."

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes and lectured Takeuchi, who simply laughed out loud and asked: "Are you saying you are a child?"

"Well, of course!"

To Takeuchi's surprise, Xiangyang admitted this openly. He took off his jersey, put on regular clothes, and continued: "If you are not an adult, you are called a child."

Takeuchi was stunned. He looked at the point guard in front of him who handled the interview with ease and was always at ease on the court. He couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, you are right."

With that said, Takeuchi put out the newly lit cigarette in his hand and threw it into the trash can.

Xiang Yang was a little surprised. He smiled and said to Takeuchi: "No, coach, I was just joking. Don't worry, I'm not the kind of kid who makes a fuss when seeing someone smoking."

In his previous life, as a college student, Xiang Yang didn't smoke, but he didn't dislike people who smoked.

After all, this kind of thing can really heal the hearts of some traumatized people to a certain extent.

"You guy, you clearly said you were a child just now."

Takeuchi said angrily, his words showing annoyance, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Xiang Yang was very gentle.

"How long are you going to be an adult?"

Takeuchi asked.

"What's wrong? Could it be that, my dear coach, you want to give me an adult gift?"

Xiang Yang teased Takeuchi playfully, but the latter did not refute this time.

"Huh? Isn't that right, Coach, you're serious. Are you the type to take care of your own players like children?"

Xiang Yang was a little confused. Apparently when Kasamatsu-senpai was celebrating his coming-of-age ceremony, Takeuchi didn't show any reaction.

Under Xiang Yang's probing gaze, Takeuchi exhaled and took out another cigarette from the cigarette case.

"When did you leave Neon?"

"... "

The air became quiet, and Xiangyang stopped packing his things. Takeuchi put the cigarette into his mouth and slowly puffed out the smoke.

After a while, Xiangyang laughed.

"What are you doing? It turns out you already knew it, coach."

Xiang Yang didn't ask Takeuchi who said it. It might be Masako, or it might be Kise. Who specifically was not a question worth asking.

"Coach, if you knew that your point guard was leaving the country soon, would you still treat me as the core of the team?"

Takeuchi took a puff of cigarette: "Yes."

"You are who you are. Even if you have to leave, as long as you stay at Haichang for one day, you will always be Haichang's starting point guard."

Xiang Yang hummed softly and held the Hai Chang uniform he had taken off in front of him. Looking at his name on it, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised an arc.

"That's enough, thank you, Coach Takeuchi."

……

……

This video of Xiang Yang’s interview was posted online by an unknown reporter. The “attitude of non-professional basketball players towards the game” he described in front of the camera was praised by many basketball enthusiasts.

The vast majority of people who play basketball, due to life pressure and physical talent, do not have that much time and energy to polish their skills. Many of them may have played against the most powerful opponents in their lives, which are basketball courts near their homes. A stranger arrived.

But this does not prevent them from liking and loving basketball. In the heart of every basketball fan, there is a basketball dream of standing on the court.

Not only that, when Xiang Yang was asked at the end of the interview whether he would join the Neon National Team, his answer also sparked a discussion among basketball enthusiasts.

Some people say that Xiang Yang is wasting his basketball talent, while others think that this is just a choice. Turning a hobby into a job is not a beautiful thing in the first place.

Of course, these are just minor episodes. The most discussed topic on the Internet is the second game of the national competition.

Tonghuang versus Luoshan!

The game between Haichang and Xiude was held on the same day. After the "Basketball Date" live broadcast room reported their game, it seamlessly connected to the live broadcast of the second game.

115:112, Luoshan won.

Due to schedule issues, Haichang players were unable to watch the game live. Fortunately, Xiangyang ordered his team manager in advance to use a camera to record the entire game.

In this game, Tonghuang played very well.

Compared with the qualifiers, Kiroh's first-year point guard Yuhide Igarashi performed very well this year.

In the first half, facing Akashi, the rookie not only withstood the pressure, but even managed to link up the team, sending assists many times, and sending shells to Aomine, who was charging inside.

Looking at the first half alone, Igarashi scored 8 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals. For him, as the second core of Kirihuang, he can get this kind of data in the hands of Rakuzan in two quarters. It’s not easy.

It's a pity... Luoshan's counterattack came in the second half.

I don't know if the "Eye of the Emperor" made too many mistakes. Akashi stopped playing and observed Kirihui's game for two whole quarters, and then completely exploded in the third quarter.

"Team zone", after Cheng Lin, who has "a realm beyond the zone", returns home, this skill of Luoshan is the undisputed number one killer move in the black basket.

Igarashi, who has little experience, has never seen such a battle before?You know, except for a few point guards in the "Miracle" team, no one on the regular basketball team can compete with him.In the last game, he was still bullying other young point guards, but in this game, he was directly taught how to behave by Akashi who was in the same position.

In the second half, Igarashi only scored two points, but got 7 assists and two rebounds. However, his number of turnovers...went into double figures!

10分12助5篮板2抢断…11个失误！
In the second half, Tonghuang's offensive rhythm was completely cut off. In the third quarter, not only was the advantage lost, but Luoshan also led by 7 points.

Although Aomine's singles ability is still unique, and he can slightly suppress Akaashi in one-on-one ace duels, the disparity in strength between the two sides cannot be overcome.

Until the end of the fourth quarter, Aomine, who had used up the last remaining energy in his body, was really powerless in the face of Akashi's winning three-pointer and had to let go.

There was no surprise for Akashi, who successfully sent Emperor Tong away and got a ticket to the finals.

At the moment when the results of the game came out, the Internet basketball circle exploded again. The blogger who had previously predicted that "Luoshan will beat Haichang in the finals" got angry again and posted a half-hour long video, telling his story. vision, and the ignorance of those who question themselves.

The blogger's video also successfully sparked a war. Except for Yangquan, who was eliminated in the first round, fans of the other five "miracle" teams once again staged a "cyber world war."

Some Cheng Rin fans said that Hai Chang's victory was just an accident. If their condition was not bad, Hai Chang might not win.

Some Xiudoku fans said that if Midorima didn't get off the field, they would be the winner in the end.

Some Tonghui fans blamed Igarashi for the loss. They obviously played well in the first half and were leading the score.However, in the second half, Igarashi was simply crushed by Akashi. If he had been stronger, Kiriou would not have lost to Rakuzan.

"If" is such a kind word.

Although there are many voices on the Internet, the loudest is the one!It’s still the “prophet”!
"What did I say before? Who will beat whom in the finals? Hai Chang beats Luoshan! Do you still have to think about it? Does anyone still say that I don't understand football? I haven't been wrong in any of my predictions so far!"

"Not only that, my next prediction will also be correct! Luoshan wins against Haichang, let me put your awesomeness on the public screen, family members!!"

This time, the "Prophet"'s attitude was very arrogant, even more emotional than last time.Because really...his predictions have been accurate so far.

Many people who questioned him before also kept their mouths shut this time and did not speak out to refute. After all, it felt really uncomfortable to be slapped in the face.

Only Hai Chang fans still dismiss this "prophet".

Hai Chang has won two national championships in a row. Not only did he defeat Luoshan in the summer competition, but he also defeated "Cheng Lin who killed Luoshan" in the Winter Cup!
What does this mean?Rounding it all off, Hai Chang is two levels better than Luoshan!

While Haichang fans blasted the "prophet", they also did not forget to @Haichang players on social media.

This time, Takeuchi spoke up.

Just the night before Rakuzan faced Kaitō in the finals, Kaitō head coach Takeuchi Source posted a tweet.

"You are a false prophet, because really, you can't live to see the next day!"

"See you in the finals."
