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

Chapter 172 In Progress

At the top of the arc, Yuuki looked at her seniors who confidently handed over the ball to her and then stood in the bottom corner, her face was a little moved.

[This goal... is the trust of the seniors, I must score it! 】

Making up her mind secretly, Yuuki turned to look at Reo Minori, who had been stabbed through a whole section by herself, with determination flashing in her eyes.

Soon after Yuuki finished reading Reo's defense, Yuuki moved.

The left hand lowers the ball with a cross step to break through. Yuuki's first step is very fast and very lethal!

Like a gust of wind, Yuuki lightly passed by Ling Yang, but unlike in the second quarter, Ling Yang had been strengthened this time!
Although she was passed by Yuuki, Reio quickly reacted, turned around and chased after Yuuki. At the same time, Rakuzan's center Ekichi Nebutani also stepped forward at the same time and double-teamed Yuuki. .

Seeing this scene, Yuuki who was speeding up frowned, noticing that Reo behind him was also approaching rapidly, he immediately pressed down on his body, using his buttocks to hold Reo.

Nemu did not directly steal the ball, but stood unhurriedly around Yuuki, waiting for Lingyang to complete the defense in a state of being able to advance, attack, retreat and defend.

At this point in this round of offense, Yuuki's singles this time had failed. He also understood this and immediately pulled away and returned to the three-point line.

Kise watched this scene and was about to go outside the three-point line to pick up Yuuki, but was stopped by Xiang Yang.

"What's wrong, little Xiangyang?"

Kise couldn't help but ask, and at the same time he glanced at Yuuki a few more times, who was now standing outside the three-point line, planning the next round of attack.

Xiang Yang shook his head and said to Kise Nunu: "Look at the look in Yuji's eyes now."

Huang Lai was taken aback, then turned around to look: "Very good, he has momentum and determination, he should really want to score this ball into the basket!"

"But... the current little Yuuki probably hasn't reached that level yet."

Kise rubbed his chin. As the leader of Kai Chang's charge, he was the one who had the most say on the strength of Luoshan's defense line.

After the increase of "team zone", the defensive ability generated by the mutual defense of Luoshan people has been infinitely close to entering the "realm beyond zone" Cheng Lin.

Even if Kise is in good condition, with "zone" and "flawless imitation" turned on at the same time, he doesn't dare to say that he can score at will on this Luoshan head.

Kise is like this, let alone Yuuki who has not yet fully fledged.

Xiang Yang naturally knew it very well, but he still stopped Kise from wanting to help Yuuki.He pulled Kise's arm and explained: "If you ask for the ball, Yuuki will definitely pass it to you no matter what."

"Although this can reduce the team's mistakes, it will give Yuuki less training."

Hearing this, the expression on Kise's face became thoughtful: "So... Xiao Xiangyang did it on purpose? Wow, you are so cruel!"

Xiangyang:? ? ?
"Please, Yuuki, before entering high school, he probably never met a team of his own age that could compete with him, right?"

"For a proud man, the experience gained by failure is much greater than that gained by success."

Xiang Yang said meaningfully, after all, Yuuki is a talented player who often plays in the national youth team before he reaches adulthood.

At the junior high school level, there is basically no one that Yuuki can look at him in the eye. It just so happens that this kid has a good personality and temper. He basically just plays in the national youth team and has never thought about being in the limelight. thing.

If we can use Luoshan to open Yuuki's eyes and let him understand his own identity, then wouldn't it be a good thing?

Kise was persuaded by Xiangyang, and the two stood at the baseline again watching Yuuki's movements, without any intention of taking over the ball.

After waiting for a while, Yuuki at the top of the arc saw that his ace and captain still had no intention of asking for the ball, so he had to decide to play singles again!
[This time... I must score for the team! 】

Yuuki secretly swore in her heart, and at the same time, she took out a probing step under her feet. After a simple feint, she broke through smoothly.

His first step was still swift. Even though Ling Yang's ability had been improved and she guarded Yuuki for more than a quarter, she still couldn't react immediately.

Fortunately, Luoshan's other players made up defense very quickly.

Hirakawa slipped out to the side, and immediately squeezed towards Yuuki, but his position was very interesting, obviously for the defense, but left a gap on the right side.

Yuuki's eyes froze. Through the gap, he saw Hiroshi Ohara who was unguarded under the basket. As long as the ball was passed, even Nebu couldn't complete the defense!

[This guy seems to have been a year ago... Did he make a mistake because he was too inexperienced? 】

Yuuki's heart was active, and at the same time, his hand movements were not slow at all. He passed the ball with a standard scalpel and hit the ground with one hand into the open space. At the same time, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

Got two points!

But at this moment...a figure suddenly jumped out, just blocking Yuji's passing route, and strangled Haichang's offensive to this point!

The smile on Yuuki's face froze. He looked in the direction of his pass in disbelief and saw a petite figure standing there. Akashi's face was filled with frost. He looked at Yuuki and said slowly: "You're too You are so arrogant, young man.”

"Luoshan...it's not as simple as you think!"

Before he finished speaking, Akashi threw the basketball in his hand fiercely, and at the same time, a figure rushed forward like a cheetah.

This person is Kotaro Hayama!
With Akashi's blessing, he, who was already very fast, was even more powerful at the moment. A strong wind blew across the place where he was running, and he had an excited look on his face.

"I won this ball!"

Akashi's passing distance is just right, just enough for Hayama to maximize his speed!
After receiving the basketball, Ye Shan looked at the empty Haichang half court at the moment, jumped up, the basketball was held high above his head, and he was about to slam dunk!

boom!
There was a loud noise, but it was not the collision sound of the basketball and the ball frame, but the muffled sound of another person's hand hitting the ball!

"You run really fast, but unfortunately... you're still not as good as me."

In the air, Hayama stared blankly at the basketball that was shot out in front of him. Hearing the careless voice behind him, he suddenly turned around and saw Kise looking at him with a smile on his face. He had just blocked Hayama's dunk. The arms were still stretched out in front of his eyes, as if in mockery.

The basketball goes out of bounds and the referee blows the whistle.

Hai Chang went out of bounds and Luoshan served.

At this time, Akashi, who was still posing with his eyes closed, heard the referee's penalty and suddenly opened his eyes to look, with a surprised look on his face.

Obviously according to his "Eye of Heaven" prediction, this ball should be won without any suspense, unless...

"Did you already know that this ball would be cut off by me?"

Akashi frowned and asked Xiang Yangdao, who was still wandering in the Luoshan half. The latter pointed his face with one finger and showed a surprised expression: "How is it possible? You think I am just like you, with eyes that predict the future."

Xiang Yang shook his finger and said: "Of course I can't know that I will be cut off by you, but I can roughly guess that the kid's attack will be stopped by you, but I don't know exactly what the situation is. "

Xiang Yang didn't lie. Kise's successful defense this round was indeed an order he gave based on guesswork in advance.

If the ball is intercepted by Akashi, then with the latter's character, he will probably have to pass the ball to the fast break, just like Hayama Shita passed the long ball to him just now. This situation will naturally be controlled by the movement. Kise, who has outstanding ability, went to defend.

On the other hand, if others in Luoshan complete the steal, then [-] or [-]% of the time, they will pass it to Akashi to reorganize. In this case, it is suitable for Xiangyang to defend.

After hearing Xiang Yang's explanation, Akashi showed a hint of anger on his face: "Are you using Luoshan to train newcomers?"

He had long known that Yuuki would be guarded, but he still allowed him to play alone. By playing like this in the finals, Xiangyang was nakedly provoking Rakuzan and Akashi!
Sensing that Akashi was a little angry, Xiang Yang quickly waved his hands and explained: "Of course not, that guy is just young, and his skills are very good. In fact, just now, I was still a little lucky, maybe he can really hit the ball." Hahaha, it’s just a wrong bet.”

Akashi snorted coldly, seemingly not buying Xiang Yang's words.

Seeing this situation, an unknown smile appeared on Xiang Yang's face. He pointed at the scoreboard and said to Akashi: "Mr. Akashi, if you really think that I look down on you and am training with Kai Chang, you might as well watch How about the score?"

At this moment, 63:57, Haichang's eight-point lead in the first half is still maintained!

"If we say that we can suppress you casually through training, Luoshan, the favorite to win the championship... wouldn't it be just like a joke?"

……

……

At the same time, on the other side of the neon

Inside the office of the president of the Basketball Association
Li Guo hurriedly fumbled for the live broadcast room URL on his computer. He was over fifty and no longer understood what young people were playing.

It just so happened that he was a stubborn old man with a bad temper and very concerned about face. Even if he found out that he didn't know how to use a computer, he had no intention of asking his subordinates to help him. He was just messing around alone.

This resulted in him remembering to watch the game after the first quarter. It was not until halfway through the third quarter that he successfully opened the live broadcast room under the text guidance of the search engine.

"Huh...who said people are useless when they get old?"

Li Guo wiped the sweat from his forehead with a smug smile on his face.

However, he did not expect that he would spend nearly half an hour tinkering with something that a normal person could accomplish in ten seconds...

Fortunately, he still opened the live broadcast room and successfully watched the game.

In the picture, it happened to be back to Hai Chang's offensive round. Xiang Yang raised his right hand to signal his teammates to move. Li Guo took out a pair of reading glasses from the drawer and put them on his face. He narrowed his eyes and looked carefully.

"Haichang... Xiangyang..."

……

……

beep—

Luoshan goes out of bounds, Hai Chang has the ball.

Another round of attack, Yuuki once again reached the inside of Rakuzan but was intercepted by Akashi. Fortunately, Yuuki reacted quickly and hit the ball hard, hitting Nemu's feet, and finally went out of bounds.

"call…"

Hearing the referee's decision, Yuuki breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and was about to follow her teammates in apologizing, but she was kicked in the butt by Xiang Yang.

Yuuki turned her head and covered her butt, thinking that Xiang Yang was blaming him for the failure of the attack. She was about to say something but was stopped by Xiang Yang's "shh" movement.

"Listen boy, don't apologize for your mistakes on the court, sum up the problem is what to do after the game."

Xiang Yang put his arms around Yuuki's shoulders, leaned into his ear and whispered, "At times like this, just say mine."

Yuuki's expression was slightly startled, then he nodded heavily and said, "I understand, Xiangyang-senpai, thank you!"

"Well, that's nice."

Xiangyang smiled and patted Yuuki's shoulder, then pointed out of bounds, signaling Yuuki to serve. Yuuki understood and immediately walked over and served the ball to Xiangyang's hand.

At this point in the game, Yuuki already understood that with his current star quality, he was not enough to fight against an opponent of Rakuzan's level. It just so happened that Kaitō didn't need him, a first-year freshman, to stand up and challenge him.

After all, if the sky falls, there will always be tall people holding it up. As long as Xiang Yang and Kise don't leave the field, they will not put the pressure on the team on Yuuki.

Xiang Yang hummed a little tune and walked step by step in front of Akashi. Feeling the aura coming from him, Xiang Yang said with a smile: "My junior, thank you for taking care of me."

"But next, let's turn the audience's attention back to us..."

After saying this, Xiang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and lifted up his trousers with his right hand covertly. At the same time, a white electric light flashed in his pupils.

Talent: zone has been activated!
The next moment, as if to verify the mechanical sound in Xiang Yang's mind, an invisible wave of air came from Xiang Yang's body. His right foot kicked the ground fiercely. While breaking through on the right side, his left arm was already ready to fight. Prepare for Akashi's confrontation!

Akashi frowned, knowing that he could not guard Xiang Yang at this moment, so he did not try to steal, but flew back, intending to use Luoshan's defensive ability to stop Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang, who was aware of Akashi's intention, did not change his expression, and still maintained the posture of preparing for confrontation, until Hirakawa stepped forward to form a double-team with Akashi, Xiang Yang did not retreat but advanced, bumped into Hirakawa's arms, and at the same time raised the ball with both hands towards Throw it from the basket.

The basketball deviated from the track without any accidents, and it became a non-stick game. However, Xiang Yang didn't care, and instead gave high-fives to his teammates nearby to express his congratulations.

Beep--

Just when everyone was confused, the referee suddenly came out and blew his whistle.

Luoshan made a defensive foul and Haichang No. [-] made two free throws!
"Nani???"

Hirakawa, who was called for a foul, was stunned. He trotted to the referee and spread his hands to express his dissatisfaction.

"That was a good defense! Absolutely clean and good defense! Can't you see, that guy took the initiative to jump on me!"

Pingchuan was very excited. In his opinion, this penalty was a [-]% misjudgment. He had no intention of fouling Xiang Yang and even stood on the ground without moving. How could this be a foul?

However... Although this first-year freshman from Luoshan played the ball well, it was obvious that he still had to learn more about the sophistication on the court!

Before the others in Luoshan could stop him, and they didn’t know whether the referee was grumpy or because Pingchuan was too excited, they saw the referee crossing one palm with the other to make a "T" sign, which made any basketball player Enthusiasts can recognize the meaning of this action at a glance!
Technical foul on Luoshan No. 13

Haichang throws a throw!
Pingchuan was stunned for a moment, and then the next second, the expression on his face instantly turned angry: "You!..."

"Shut up Hirakawa!"

Fortunately, Akashi immediately stepped forward to stop his grumpy junior. He turned to the referee and bowed slightly to apologize. The latter naturally wanted to show respect to his father, the sponsor of the event.

The argument between the players and the referee did not happen.

Looking at the referee's back, Akashi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately...it's not the worst outcome."

Akashi murmured, then his eyes widened, he looked at Pingchuan beside him, and said word by word: "You know... you almost ruined this game, Pingchuan!"

(Basketball trivia: Technical fouls refer to fouls committed by players without physical contact, such as excessive taunting movements and verbal abuse, including questioning the referee's decision.

The result of the penalty is one free throw for the opposing team, one serve plus one serve to score

PS: Two technical fouls will result in direct expulsion from the field and disqualification from continuing the game. )
"Private Marseille... But, Akashi, I really didn't commit a foul! You believe me, that kid took the initiative to get close to me, and the referee was just blowing it!"

A trace of guilt flashed across Pingchuan's face, but it soon turned into anger. He pointed at Xiang Yang not far away and said through gritted teeth.

"To shut up!"

With another sharp shout, Akashi stopped Hirakawa's complaints. He glanced at Xiang Yang who was listening to the excitement with his ears raised, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Listen Hirakawa, I'm not accusing you of committing a foul, but I'm talking about your behavior after the foul. Complaining to the referee? Is your brain full of muscles?"

Akashi's tone was harsh, but he was right. If Hirakawa continues to tangle with the referee and ends up being kicked out, then Luoshan will really be facing a big crisis!

In the middle of the game, the home starter was the first to leave the team. What could hurt the morale of the team more than this kind of thing?
Moreover, Hirakawa was carefully selected by Akashi and put into the starting lineup as a special weapon against Xiangyang!His strong physique coupled with the playing ideas of a defender and his very restrained style of play can cause him a lot of trouble!
The strange thing is that Akashi is obviously only 170cm tall, even nearly [-] centimeters shorter than Hirakawa. However, when Akashi lectured him, the big guy was as obedient as a child, not at all rebellious.

Luoshan coach Bai Jinyongzhi saw that Akashi's reprimand would not end for a while, so he simply called a timeout for Akashi's meeting.

Luoshan application suspended
Hirakawa Yi:......

(Brothers who are Yang... I might ask for leave in the next few days...)
