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

Chapter 210 The fourth fight
Inside the Neon Tokyo Basketball Arena
Xiangyang crawled on the railing and looked at Masako who was packing things below.

Just a few minutes ago, the match between Yangquan and Tonghuang had ended.And this also means that the second round of the Winter Cup official competition has been completed.

The organizers also released the lineup for the third round.

Kaisune vs.…Fukuda Comprehensive.

Xiang Yang rubbed his chin, and after hesitating for a while, he picked up the phone and made a call.

Didu——

"Moses Moses, are you the heir of the Akashi family, Mr. Seijuro?"

There was teasing in Xiang Yang's tone, and Akashi on the other end of the phone was obviously not used to talking to Xiang Yang like this.

"What's up?"

Akashi's words are concise and to the point.

Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows, no longer beating around the bush, but went straight to the point: "Have you seen the lineup for the third round of the official match?"

"Haichang played against Futian Comprehensive. The two games I was suspended for, my opponent was really too weak."

Xiang Yangyi said pointedly, but Akashi didn't seem to understand what he said, and replied: "Isn't that great? If you lose the game because you are suspended, Kaijo fans will tear you apart, right?"

"Well... you were right."

Xiangyang shrugged, turned around and leaned his back on the railing.

"Did you do anything, Akashi?"

"In these two consecutive games, let alone Luoshan and Chenglin, we didn't even meet a decent opponent. Putting aside the low-possibility pitiful coincidence, it seems that only a shady story can explain it, right?"

Xiangyang lowered his eyes and listened carefully to the voice on the phone. He wanted to judge whether his judgment was correct from the tone of Akashi's words.

However, Akashi didn't give him this chance and hung up the phone directly.

beep—

Listening to the hang-up sound coming from the phone, Xiang Yang stared out with a pair of dead fish eyes and complained: "This kid..."

"You're really tampering with things??"

Although he didn't say it clearly, Akashi's reaction can already explain a lot of things.

At this moment, Masako Araki, who successfully led Yangquan to defeat Kirihuang, also entered off-duty time.

She walked to Xiang Yang, skillfully threw the bag into Xiang Yang's arms, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Perhaps it was because of winning the game, but Masako seemed to be in a good mood.

Xiang Yang thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back to the Shark Gym. I haven't eaten dinner yet. I want to eat steak, Miss Masako."

Masako glanced at Xiang Yang and didn't refute, seeming to acquiesce.

"Has the lineup for the third round been released?"

"Ang is out, you have to fight Xiude."

Xiang Yang picked up the phone, opened the match list and handed it to Masako.

"Xiude...is that the man with constellation glasses who is very good at shooting three-pointers?"

Masako frowned slightly, secretly calculating Yang Quan's chances of winning. At this moment, her peripheral vision caught sight of another position on the list.

"Haichang... versus Futian Comprehensive?"

Masako's expression was a little stunned. She looked up at Xiang Yang and asked, "Did Akashi do something?"

"Who knows? Maybe?"

Xiang Yang spread his hands and answered vaguely.

Masako glanced at Xiangyang and said thoughtfully: "You and Akashi have a good relationship?"

Xiangyang:? ? ?
"what are you thinking?"

Xiang Yang was speechless. He yawned and said, "I can probably guess what he was thinking."

[We want to take revenge on the perfect Haichang, so we are not allowed to leave early? 】

[Should I say that you have a delicate mind...or are you too controlling? 】

Xiang Yang picked up Masako's bag and simply carried it on his back. He said with a smile in his eyes: "But this time, you are probably going to lose miserably."

"This year's Haichang is unbelievably strong!"

……

……

Compared with the summer season, the schedule of the Winter Cup is relatively tight, and the third round begins soon.

Since Xiude got a bye when he entered the second round, Yangquan was ranked first against Xiude in the third round.

The whole game can be said to be very anxious. Although Yangquan's iron-blooded inside line is not very effective for Luma, Ziyuan cooperates with the ice room. This duo of inside and outside can easily win against Xiude's defense. Score.

As a result, Yangquan, which was supposed to be good at defense, was forced to become an offensive team in the face of such a special style of play.

Masako also put the lineup that Xiangyang put on when he guest-starred as Yangquan coach back on the court!
A one-star, four-shot tactic with Murasakibara as the core!
The two sides lasted until the end of the fourth quarter, and the score was still stalemate. It is a pity that in this game, Ziyuan failed to continue the good state of the previous game, and did not turn on the "zone" mode.

Himuro's performance was still stable. He entered the "zone" mode in the fourth quarter and scored 33 points in the game, becoming the highest score in the game except Midorima!
Unfortunately, Yangquan was defeated at 127:126.

Midorima's difficult three-pointer with a 100% hit rate was like a nuclear weapon at the final moment of the game!

When everyone's physical strength on the court was at its lowest point, Midorima was like a scoring machine, repeatedly jumping up and shooting. With every offensive shot he made, three points would be added to Showtoku's scoreboard. .

Facing an opponent of this level, you must not give him a chance to fight at the end, otherwise you will know what... is called despair!
In the first game of the third round of the Winter Cup official match, Yangquan played against Xiude, and Xiude won!
In addition, Rakuzan faced a veteran and powerful team. Even though Akashi restrained his efforts, Rakuzan still won a big victory and successfully advanced!

The last game of the third round is Haichang vs. Futian Comprehensive.

This year's Shogo Haizaki is no longer the dignified image of the previous year. Perhaps because he has understood the truth that "hair style is justice", he has once again returned to the silver-haired look of his middle school days.

However, in front of Hai Chang, Futian's comprehensive level could not make any waves after all.

In Xiangyang's absence, Yuuki once again shined at the No. 70 position. Together with Kise, they scored 20 points. They took a [-]-point lead in the third quarter and took Fukuda away in a wave. comprehensive.

Kise performed equally well against Hui Qi, which may be the reason why the enemy was so jealous when they met. This time, without Xiang Yang around to provide the "buff" blessing, Kise still turned on the "zone" state, using every miracle's ability After imitating it once, Kise used various special skills to beat Hui Qi to pieces on the court.

Since then, in the final of the Winter Cup, three teams have come to the fore, namely Xiudeok, Naksan and Haichang.

This year the organizers will no longer continue the previous consistent competition system. Instead, the three teams in the finals will compete against each other in a round-robin competition mechanism to compete for the final championship.

I don’t know if it was intentional by the organizer or someone was behind the scenes, but Xiude participated in the first two games of the round-robin competition to challenge Hai Chang and Luo Shan.

As long as Xiude wins any of them, they will be able to participate in the final championship battle.

Just win one of the two games. It seems that Xiude has one more chance. However, facing the two teams Haichang and Luoshan, Xiude's situation is not optimistic.

In the first game of the round-robin match, Xiude took the lead against Hai Chang. Xiang Yang, who returned from two suspensions, showed good fighting will in the first quarter.

Facing the unstoppable Midorima, Xiangyang chose to guard closely at the beginning. It was also the first time for him to show his current defensive ability in the Winter Cup.

The threat of steals surprised Luma, and throughout the first quarter, Luma was shrouded in Xiangyang's defensive range.

With only 4 three-point shots, although the hit rate was still [-]%, there was no doubt that the score in the first quarter of this game was the lowest in Midorima's career!
At the end of the first quarter, the score difference between the two sides had widened, with Hai Chang leading at 29:20.

With Midorima only scoring 12 points, Shutoku's overall offense was stalled, but Kaijo did not give up this opportunity. He chased and fought hard in the second quarter, extending the score advantage to 17 points.

In the second half, Midorima cooperated with Takao to use pick-and-roll tactics to expand his shooting space, and his score doubled for a while. Unfortunately, after two quarters of competition, Kise had regained his form and successfully entered the "zone" Mode, together with Xiangyang, tore Xiude's defense to shreds.

At the end of the game, 108:91, Haichang won the first round of the round-robin match!
In the second round of the cycle, Xiude faced off against Luoshan.

Akaashi borrowed the idea used by Kaidune against Xiudoku, and also faced Midorima in the first quarter.

With the blessing of the Eye of the Emperor, facing Midorima, who has a weak anti-stealing ability, Akashi's defensive ability is not inferior to Xiang Yang!

Like the epitome of the first game, at the end of the first half, Naksan also had a ten-point advantage against Xiude.

Luoshan also chose to exert its strength in the third quarter. Akashi turned on the "team zone" mode and suddenly led his teammates to advance soaring, eliminating the suspense of the game.

The game ended, 109:100, Luoshan won!
Both games were clocked out in the third quarter. Xiude, who was the first to play against the two teams, had no choice but to withdraw from the competition for the championship seat.

Luoshan and Haichang will play the third game of the round-robin competition together to determine the winner.

Counting this time, Luoshan and Hai Chang have met for the third time in the finals.

But this time, the identities of the two teams are different.

Nakshan High School, which was originally the favorite to win the national competition, became a challenger this year, and Hai Chang, who was originally in the position of challenger, suddenly became a three-peat winner!
Can Hai Chang defend his position as the defending champion this year and win the fourth crown in the Hai Chang Dynasty?

"I think this year's championship must be from Luoshan!"

"Add 1."

"Fuck you, it's been almost two years, don't you understand? If the Haichang twins don't graduate, the championship position of this national competition will not change for a day!"

"Haichang Champion!"

……

The Internet was still noisy as usual, and Akashi Xiangyang, who was the subject of the topic, were lying side by side by the river, fishing together...
