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

Chapter 171 With Yuuki as the core

The timeout ended and players from both sides returned to the field one after another.

Xiangyang looked at Yi Pingchuan who took the initiative to walk to his side, and couldn't help but smacked his lips and felt a little troubled.

Even if you think about it with your knees, he knows that this player who can restrict him in style was discovered by Akashi.

Just like Xiangyang understands that Akashi knows how to play to restrain him, Akashi is also very clear about the shortcomings of Xiangyang's playing style.

Originally, Xiang Yang decided that he would take action in the second quarter to open the score. Who knew that such a thing would appear suddenly, and Hai Chang had to activate Huang Lai ahead of time.

[Really...why are the first-year students in Luoshan having so much trouble? The newbies in our family are obviously not bad either...]

Xiangyang scratched his head and complained secretly. He subconsciously glanced at his teammates. Hiroshi Ohara was standing on the wing, ready to step forward for a pick-and-roll at any time. Yuuki was standing beside Lingyang in an orderly manner. Waiting for Xiangyang to give orders.

Xiang Yang didn't think about it any more, he walked to the serving position in the backcourt and was ready to attack, but he just took two steps but he was fixed on the same spot, and suddenly turned his head to stare at Yuuki, causing the latter to shiver.

"What...what's wrong, Senior Xiangyang?"

Yuuki was startled, but before he could ask any questions, Xiang Yang walked directly in front of him and pinched Yuuki's face.

"Nani Nani? Senior Xiangyang, please don't do this!"

Poor Yuuki was pinched by Xiang Yang's cheek but didn't dare to resist, so she could only complain softly in an attempt to stop Xiang Yang's "spicy hands".

Ling Yang on the side looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel confused. However, as a player on the enemy team, he did not stop it and just watched quietly.

Xiang Yang smiled, very happily. After rubbing Yuuki's face once again, he turned his head and made a gesture to Kise who was watching the show on the other side.

Xiang Yang: The plan has changed, give me the ball.

Kise: OK!

The exchange between the two lasted only a moment. Since no complicated tactics were arranged during the last timeout, there was no need to waste another timeout opportunity this time.

"Listen up Yuuki."

Xiang Yang patted Yuuki on the shoulder, ignoring Reo Mibuchi, who was pouting his ears to eavesdrop, and leaned into Yuuki's ear and said, "It's time for you to perform, little guy."

……

……

"Okay, after the timeout, let's put our attention back to the game again. Hai Chang has the ball. Xiangyang holds the ball and dribbles through the half court. Will he choose to continue playing in singles... Huh? Xiangyang passed the ball to his teammates on the flank, and then directly Going to the bottom corner, is he going to??"

In the live broadcast room, Bobo stopped talking, and in the screen, Xiangyang walked towards the bottom corner while making a gesture of pulling away from his teammates.

But unlike last time, this time Xiang Yang did this action for Yuuki.

"Damn Yuuki, I'm going to trouble you if you don't make the match!"

Xiangyang put his hands on his hips and teased Yuuki with a smile on his face.

However, what he didn't expect was that what he thought was just a joke put a lot of pressure on Yuuki.

I saw him standing in a high position, holding the ball in both hands with a panicked look on his face, completely unable to see the momentum he had when he caught Xiang Yang playing in the training match.

"Hey Xiangyang-chan! You scared Yuuki-chan!"

Kise was a little dissatisfied, but Xiang Yang didn't tolerate him either. The two immediately stood on the field and started bickering.

Akashi, who had been standing near the two of them, frowned slightly, his eyes constantly looking up and down at Yuuki, secretly wary in his heart.

[This guy can make Xiang Yang and Kise stand on the field chatting so relaxedly...]

Akashi quietly opened the "Eye of the Emperor" and observed Yuuki's future. However, after a few seconds, Akashi's expression changed drastically. Before he could speak to remind Lingyang, the latter had already stepped forward to steal it.

"Standing there hesitantly, are you waiting to be intercepted by me?"

Lingyang shouted sharply, stepped forward in sync with her steps, stretched out her right arm and took out the basketball in Yuuki's hand.

Faced with this situation, Yuuki seemed to be frightened and stood there blankly. Seeing this scene, Ling Yang was heartened. The scene of successfully completing a one-stop counterattack and scoring after stealing had already appeared in his mind. among!

However... the next second, Yuuki dodged Ling Yang's steal with a sinking ball. Then he looked at Ling Yang's approaching figure and couldn't help closing his eyes and shouting: "Smi Masai!"

Before the words fell, Yuuki's body was like a sharp arrow, and the catapult was launched instantly. At this moment, Ling Yang, who was moving forward in order to steal, naturally couldn't keep up with Yuuki's footsteps, so she had to watch him rush into the restricted area.

In the bottom corner, Akashi frowned. Just as he was about to rush inside to make up for the defense, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and the prophecy of "Eye of the Emperor" stopped his movement.

Right at the three-point line in the bottom corner, two players who are the most accurate three-pointers in Kaijung are standing at the same time - Xiang Yang and Kise.

[Defend inside and bet these two guys can't make a shot...Forget it, I'll just take a rest...]

Akashi sighed, and then looked at Nebutani Nagakichi in the penalty area with a slightly pitiful look. He had already seen the ending.

"How could you just let it go?"

Genwu looked ferocious. Even if his jumping position was not the best due to the blocking position with Xiaobori, he still had full confidence to treat this first-year rookie of Haichang to a big hit!

Yuuki rushed into the penalty area with the ball with a nervous look on his face. His good vision and passing ability allowed him to collect information on the field immediately even if he was in a nervous state.

However, at this moment, Kobori is being held behind by Nebu, and Hiroshi Ohara is also standing in an outside position. As for the Kaiju twins, they are standing side by side in the bottom corner, with expressions on their faces as if they are watching a show. , making it clear that there is no movement to catch the ball.

There was no other way. Yuuki, who rushed to the inside alone, had no choice but to bite the bullet and get in on his own. Seeing Nemu in front of him looking like he was about to eat him, he couldn't help but feel timid: It's really scary...

Then Yuuki jumped up, holding the basketball high with one hand to measure the distance from the basket. At the same time, Nemu also completed the jump and stretched his arms in front of Yuuki.

[This skinny monkey, let me catch him! 】

In the air, a smile appeared on Newu's face. With his absolute advantage in size, he was confident that he would not even recognize Yuuki's family!
However... as Yuuki's body slowly rose up, Nebu discovered something was wrong. He looked at Yuuki's arm holding the basketball with a dull expression, and it gradually surpassed his forehead... then surpassed the basket, and finally even surpassed He grabbed his outstretched palm!
"is that a lie?"

Bang bang!
With the sound of the basket bursting, Genwu, who lost his center of gravity in the air, let his body fall downwards with his eyes blank, and finally fell directly to the ground.

At this moment, the air seemed to be quiet. Several players in Luoshan seemed to have seen a ghost. Only Akashi, who had already expected it, closed his eyes and sighed slowly.

"Wuhu! Good shot, boy!"

Xiang Yang and Kise were the first to react, and immediately rushed forward to surround Yuuki, rubbing his head frantically.

Immediately, the audience came to their senses and cheered one after another. Several Kaijo fans with a cheerful personality simply stood up and shouted Yuuki's name!
Who would have thought that this honest newcomer, who usually doesn't show off his integrity, would have such an explosive scene?
Not only on the field, but also in the live broadcast room, there were shouts of exclamation. Sasha and Nini exclaimed. Bobo also immediately called up Yuuki’s player data and said with witty words: "Incredible! This first-year freshman from Haichan is actually in the general manager. In the final, I successfully dunked the center of the Luoshan team! It was so explosive!"

"Before today's game, Hashimoto Yuuki averaged 13 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds per game. Judging from the data alone, he seemed to be just an ordinary player who just happened to stand on the championship ball. It’s just the team’s spotlight!”

"This goal! Yuuki proved his talent and strength. Maybe his wings are not full at the moment, but in the future, he will definitely be able to stand alone and become Hai Changxin's candidate for the team!"

Bobo's tone was sonorous and powerful, and a long paragraph of words spewed out like bubbles without interruption, as if he had witnessed with his own eyes the era dominated by Yuuki!
On the field, after being designated by Xiangyang, Yuuki, who became the core point of Haizuna's tactics in the second quarter, did not disappoint the audience.

Faced with Ling Yang's defense alone, this little genius whose talent is almost overflowing, can score in singles as if he were picking something out of a bag!
It wasn't until Akashi made up his mind and ordered Nebu to focus more on the defensive end to help defend Reo that Yuuki's scoring didn't seem so easy.

However, in this way, Xiaobori's pressure on Genwu on the defensive end has also been greatly reduced.

In this round of formation changes, Hai Chang not only solved the problem of not having a core scoring point in the second quarter, but also freed up Kobori, so that he would no longer be scored by Genwu on the defensive end.

From the end of the second quarter, looking at the scoreboard, Xiang Yang couldn't help sighing: "It's too clumsy to hide, I even forgot that I still have Yuki's card."

The layout and planning started before the start of the national competition. Xiangyang had always arranged for Yuuki to hide her strength, but he really didn't expect that Yuuki could be so honest on the court!

He never plays alone when he gets the ball. He only takes action when opportunities arise from movement or when tactics arrange for him to shoot.

Throughout the entire national competition, Yuuki played the tool role assigned to him by Xiangyang perfectly, and he never acted out of line.Even because he is so perfect, Xiangyang often thinks of him as another Kasamatsu Yukio.

"Let you be a tool man, you are a qualified 3D, let you stand up as the core, and you can become the backbone of the team, it is really..."

Xiang Yang shook his head, with a hint of melancholy on his face: "My younger generation is too well-behaved and strong!"

At this moment, at the end of the first half, the score between the two sides has reached 57:49. Under the leadership of Yuuki, Kaijo successfully gained an eight-point halftime lead and entered the second half!
"Yuki did a good job, but everyone, the competition may have just begun..."

Xiang Yang sat on the bench with his legs crossed and looked at the people in Luoshan in the other half. A drop of cold sweat could not help but flow from his forehead.

He has already felt... the looming momentum on the other side that is about to explode!
"Anyway, Yuuki, please take a rest first."

Xiang Yang patted the latter on the shoulder, but Yuuki was in a hot state at the moment. The continuous scoring made him enter an excited state. He looked at Xiang Yang and hesitated to speak.

【I can still fight...】

Yuuki's lips twitched, but under Xiang Yang's half-smiling gaze, she did not speak. Before he could regret it, Xiang Yang sneered.

"Okay, don't look at me with such pitiful eyes. It's really dishonest that your thoughts are written all over your face but you don't say it out loud."

Xiang Yang smacked his lips and finalized the tactics for the second half with a wave of his hand.

"Yuuki, if you think the ball can be played, just ask for it. I will give it to you. At the same time, you judge the situation yourself. Don't be soft on the ball you should play. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes. No one on this team will allow you to make mistakes. .”

Patting Yuki's head again to encourage him, Xiang Yang turned his head and looked at the others in Kaitsune's group.

"The two insiders are more concerned with my gestures and running positions for tactics. They will definitely exert their strength in the second half and show more aggressiveness on the defensive end. Our fouls are well controlled. Give me a little more movement and don't be afraid of the whistle."

Hiroshi Ohara and Kobori nodded simultaneously. As blue-collar players, they have no ability to change the trend of the game, but they need to do the meticulous work.

They have been getting along for who knows how long, and they naturally have full trust in their teammate Xiang Yang. At the end, he turned to look at Kise, raised his eyebrows and joked: "And you, Mr. Ace won't stretch his hips in the second half, right? "

Hearing this, Kise rolled his eyes angrily. Although he knew Xiangyang was joking, he still stood up angrily, rolled up his sleeves and said loudly: "Are you kidding? Watch my performance in the second half!"

After saying that, Kise pursed his lips towards Xiang Yang and said teasingly: "It's you, Xiang Yang. It would be embarrassing if you were suppressed by Xiao Chi!"

Xiangyang shrugged, not caring about Kise's squeeze. He stood up and straightened his jersey, his eyes scanning every Haichang player present.

Everyone understood and gathered around Xiang Yang, putting their hands on the shoulders of others.

Xiang Yang curled his lips and took a deep breath.

"Haichang!"

"champion!!!"

……

……

beep—

A harsh whistle sounded, and the second half of the game officially started.

The Rakuzan family had the first ball, and Akashi got the ball and advanced to half-court. A flash of pink lightning flashed in his eyes.

Xiang Yang's eyes narrowed slightly. As an old opponent, he naturally knew what Akashi was going to do at this moment.Squatting down on both knees slightly, raising his hands and pulling down his pants, as if responding to Akashi, a white lightning flashed in Xiangyang's eyes as well!

【bring it on! 】

There was no verbal communication, but the two of them read each other's thoughts in the brief moment of eye contact.

Suddenly, Akashi moved.

boom! boom! boom!
With the continuous underhand dribbling, it was clear that Akashi did not move too much, but invisibly, a huge pressure was pressed on Xiangyang.

boom!boom! …

As Akashi dribbles the ball faster and faster, Xiangyang's center of gravity is also unconsciously leaning downward.

boom!There was a dull sound of hitting the ball. This time, Akashi no longer waited, and with a simple movement, he changed direction and went to the side of Xiangyang.

As a defender, Xiangyang saw Akashi's movements clearly. Just as he was about to raise his feet to defend, he felt his knees suddenly loosen, as if half of his strength had been removed.

"Damn it...make it up!"

Xiang Yang roared angrily, put his right hand on the ground to steady his body, and immediately chased after Akashi.

Inside, Hiroshi Ohara, who had been paying attention to the duel between the two, stepped forward immediately. His huge body was in front of Akashi, almost blocking his passing route!
It's a pity...Who is Akashi?
Without even looking at Ohara Hiroshi, Akashi glanced back at Xiang Yang who was chasing after him. With a throw of his right hand, the basketball passed through Ohhara Hiroshi's crotch and was directly delivered to the introverted Hirakawa who had been waiting for a long time.

Kobori, who was the last barrier to Kaisuru, was blocked by Nebu and could only watch Hirakawa put the basketball into the basket, unable to do anything.

Luoshan's two points are valid
Before it was over, when receiving the pass from Akashi, a flash of pink lightning also flashed across Hirakawa's face. He raised his hand and clenched his fist, feeling the power generated out of thin air in his body, with a look of surprise on his face.

Not only Hirakawa, but other Rakuzan players also entered the "zone" mode after receiving Akashi's pass, improving the entire team's combat capabilities in an all-round way. This is Akashi's exclusive weapon, "team zone"!
Looking at the lightning in the eye sockets of the five people in the opposite half, Xiang Yang couldn't help but frowned.

[No matter how many times I see it... I still think this trick is really cool! 】

While sighing, Xiangyang did not forget to organize his teammates. When he dribbled the ball past half court and saw Kise and Yuuki standing in the high position simultaneously, he couldn't help but pause.

Soon, Yuuki also discovered something was wrong. He and Kise were standing in a high position to ask for the ball at the same time!
After thinking briefly for a second, Yuuki immediately walked towards the baseline without any intention of competing with Kise for the ball.

However, this time, Xiang Yang did not go as he expected.

He waved to Yuuki and winked at Kise on the other side. The meaning was self-evident, he wanted to pass it to Yuuki.

Kise was stunned, but even if he was Haichang's ace, he would never interfere with Xiang Yang's decision in terms of offensive selection. Xiang Yang said that he would do it. Haichang has always done this and won today!
"Yuki, do your best, I got this ball for you from your Kise-senpai."

Xiang Yang blinked and passed the ball to Yuuki with a playful look on his face. At the same time, he walked to the weak side with his hands on his hips, leaving the stage to Yuuki.

Luoshan, who has entered the "zone" mode with all his members, is not something that Yuki can handle today. If the ball is given to him for singles, there is a high probability that he will lose it.

But Xiang Yang has his own plans, not to mention that Youji's frequent meritorious deeds in the second quarter gave Haichang an advantage, even if the two sides are evenly divided now, when Youji asks for the ball on his own initiative, it is impossible for him not to give it.

After all, for the seniors, what could be more gratifying than watching their juniors go through hardships and grow up?
[Sorry, genius, but I think you won’t mind, right? 】

Xiang Yang looked at Kise, and found that the latter was watching Yuuki attacking with the ball with great interest, he couldn't help shaking his head amusedly.

With the atmosphere of their team, they deserve to be a wealthy team!
