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

Chapter 231: The upper limit of the miserable formation Haichang is the runner-up? (Two in one chapter)

"Now that the game has reached the last 6 minutes of the last quarter, Hai Chang called their penultimate timeout to see how the coach arranged it."

In the Basketball Appointment live broadcast room, Bobo explained the game with a surprised expression, and the barrage in the live broadcast room was also filled with question marks.

In the third game of the first round of the official match, Haichan High School played against Suzuya High School. The current score was 86:84, and Haichan only led the opponent by two points.

Bobo cleared his throat, picked up the data sheet he collected and said, "According to the data, Suzuya High School was a team in the southern region during this year's qualifiers. The team ranked second in the southern region with an average of 107 points per game. , unfortunately lost to Yangquan High School in the finals of the qualifiers, and finally successfully qualified. In terms of strength, they are definitely a team that cannot be underestimated! And more importantly, they did not fall behind in the match against Hai Chang. Being downwind is really surprising..."

"It seems like another dark horse will emerge this year, hahaha."

……

……

Match scene
Not only the audience in the live broadcast room were full of questions, but the Hai Chang fans watching the game were also confused.

It was clear that he was the defending champion who swept all the opposing high schools last year. How come this year, he was tied [-]-[-] with a team of average reputation?
So much so that Suzuya High School, which had half given up on the competition before the competition, felt a strong desire to win when it saw that Kai Chang's performance was nothing more than this.After a fierce pursuit, the score difference was brought back to two points in the third quarter.

At the same time, the coach on the bench of Suzuya High School also gave a passionate encouragement to their players!After all, as long as they can beat Kaichan, the reputation of the Suzuya team will definitely rise!And the salary of his coach has naturally increased.

Unlike Lingya High School, which was so loud that Xiang Yang almost heard it, the bench on Hai Chang's side seemed much quieter.

A circle of people sitting there could only hear the sound of drinking water, as if they were really stunned by Suzuya High School, but there was no hint of worry on each of their faces.

Xiang Yang wiped the water droplets from the corner of his mouth, looked at his teammates and said, "You should be familiar with the movement of bombardment tactics, right?"

"If there is anything you don't understand, please practice more before the end of this game. A team like the opponent who is neither strong nor too weak is not so easy to encounter."

As he spoke, Xiangyang unscrewed the water bottle again and took a sip.

Almost two months have passed since Xiang Yang rejected Akaashi last time, and this year's summer split has already started.

Unsurprisingly, Kaitō once again won the first place in the Western Division and successfully advanced to the official competition. Even if Kise is absent, Kaitō's status in the Western Division is still dominant.

However, this also led to a problem. In order to hide the "bombardment tactics", Xiangyang refused all invitations to training matches sent by the team before the summer games. He originally wanted to train in the qualifiers, but he had been tortured by Hai Chang for many years. The neighbors in the west have no intention of competing with Haichang at all.

In most cases, they have already given up victory before the game even starts.

Helpless, Xiang Yang had no choice but to take his few recruits who were setting foot on the high school competition field for the first time, and just lay there all the way to the official competition.

Although the "bombardment tactic" has been practiced many times in the team, it still failed to find a suitable training opportunity.

[If I had known this, I shouldn't have rejected Akashi in the first place. 】

Xiang Yang scratched his head, pursed his lips and asked Yuuki: "You should have mastered it, right?"

Yuuki nodded obediently. He was born with outstanding basketball talent, and his ability to accept tactics could even rival Kise.

Xiang Yang himself knew that Yuuki didn't need him to worry too much, so he set his sights on Ohara again.

"Where's Ohara?"

The taciturn Ohara Hiroshi didn't say anything and just nodded in response. From the day Xiang Yang gave him the task, he never slacked off.

Then, Xiangyang also asked several third-year substitutes and first-year Fukuhara and others one by one. They all said that they were almost familiar with the "bombing" tactical running method. Only Tanaka, the current "starting center" of Kaiji, supported it. I made a few noises, as if I had no confidence.

However, in Xiangyang's arrangement, Tanaka's existence was originally intended to confuse the opponent, but the premature exposure of the information that Kai Chang did not have a center was Tanaka's role.

Xiang Yang thought for a while, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, since everyone has no problems, let's get ready to play."

"Moriyama, Tanaka, Fukuhara and... Shimamura, the four of you, fight with me for the last 6 minutes."

Hearing this, Hai Chang's players subconsciously obeyed Xiang Yang's orders, but after a brief thought, a third-year substitute couldn't help but asked: "Captain, is this really no problem? Are there four first-grade students in the house all at once? It won’t capsize, right?”

After saying that, the man looked at the score on the scoreboard.

In the last 6 minutes, the advantage was only two points. In a normally evenly matched game, this lead was nothing.

Of course, the premise must be "evenly matched".

Xiang Yang licked the corner of his mouth and said nothing. He just stood up and walked to the arena first.

[If I can’t even defeat my opponent at this level, then I might as well just enter the field. 】

The four freshmen from Hai Chang followed closely behind Xiang Yang and stepped onto the field together.

And Lingya High School also immediately noticed Haichang's adjustment, and looked at Haichang's freshmen in amazement. They really didn't expect that at the last moment of this competition, Haichang would still look down on Haichang with the mentality of a superior. They, this is so hilarious...annoying!
"No, you just have four newcomers coming to fight with us? There should be a limit to underestimating others!"

The player who had been playing against Xiangyang at Suzuya High School couldn't bear it anymore and started to talk trash at Xiangyang: "I bet you guys will be replaced in less than 2 minutes!"

Xiang Yang glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Two minutes shouldn't be enough, maybe three minutes."

The man was stunned, obviously not expecting Xiang Yang to answer like this. Just when he was about to say something else, Hai Changfang had already handed the ball to Xiang Yang and started this round of attack.

The moment Xiang Yang caught the ball with both hands, Kai Chang's four little ones started synchronized and immediately accelerated towards the basket in Suzuya's half, as if they were about to launch a large fast break!
However, the players of Suzuya High School did not react at all and continued to retreat step by step and return to defense. This situation has happened countless times in this game.

And every time Xiang Yang just dribbles and strolls, with no intention of giving the ball away, as if he is not on the same team as the other four.

While dribbling the ball across half court, Xiangyang paid attention to the running routes of the four young players. Except for Tanaka's slight hesitation when he returned from position, the other three freshmen had no problem running.

Xiang Yang was relieved and hit the ball into the sky with one hand with a little force. Then he raised his free hands and made a "pull away" gesture. The moment the basketball fell to the ground and was about to bounce up, a flash suddenly flashed in Xiang Yang's eyes. White electric light!

……

……

After 3 minutes

Haichang applies for substitution
Amid loud cheers from the audience, Xiang Yang walked off the court, high-fived the substitute player who came on, and then turned to look at the player who had trash-talked him before.

Xiang Yang hung one finger by his ear and waved it, with a very confused expression on his face. The posture seemed to say, "Are you kidding me?"
And as Xiang Yang made this taunting move, the cheers at the scene reached another level.

At this moment, there are only 3 minutes left in the game, and Hai Chang leads 99:86!

In the live room
Bobo grabbed the microphone with one hand, stood on the chair, blushed and said excitedly: "Oh God! What did I just see?"

“3分钟的时间，距离海常上一个暂停仅仅过去了3分钟！向阳一人独砍13分！两记三分球两记攻筐突破，再加一个上篮2+1得分！这3分钟的时间，已经足够制作出向阳这场比赛的个人集锦了！”

Amid the cheers of the audience, Xiang Yang looked calm and leaned on the bench with his hands folded. Although he had staged a shocking show dozens of seconds ago, to be honest, as a person involved, Xiang Yang didn't have much trouble. psychological fluctuations.

Facing an opponent like Suzuya High School, Xiang Yang would find it strange if he couldn't kill the game within 3 minutes.

The final whistle sounded, and after being stunned by Xiang Yang's performance, the players from Suzuya High School also lost their spirits. They just ran around on the court with the freshmen of Haichang mechanically. The one who spat trash talk at Xiang Yang The players simply left the field, their faces turned red with embarrassment and they did not even dare to look at Xiang Yang.

In this way, Hai Chang won the first round 101:88 and successfully advanced to the second round.

In this year's competition, no one from the major teams was in danger of being suspended due to violence on the field, so Akaashi did not arrange for the organizer to control the draw.

It's a pity that the unlucky one still appeared, and there were more than one!
In the first round of the 16-to-8 match, with a very small probability, Cheng Rin happened to draw Yangquan, while Tonghuang drew Xiude.

In the absence of a core player, this pair of brothers encountered the only two miracle teams with complete lineups this year in the first round.

Not surprisingly, Emperor Tong and Cheng Rin walked home hand in hand.

As for Luoshan, he did not encounter any strong opponents and was promoted smoothly. The old miracle player Shougo Huizaki also entered the second round smoothly.

Different from the previous two years, Haizaki Shogo, who originally had to fall into the "whoever touches and loses" situation in the second round, was surprised to find that this year seems to be the year with the best chance for him!
The two consecutive rounds were easily won, and Fukuda successfully tied the team's historical competition record - the third round!

However, this third round seemed to impose a curse on Hui Qi. Before he was about to step into the top four in the country, Hui Qi finally encountered a strong enemy, Futian Comprehensive vs. Luoshan.

With the idea that Luoshan's lineup was imperfect, Hui Qi did not "take a break when he encountered the Generation of Miracles" as he did in the first year in the original book. Instead, he locked himself in the court the night before the game and practiced alone. Arrived very late.

It's a pity that many things cannot be changed through hard work.

The score was 94:88, and Luoshan won easily.

Hui Qi scored 33 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, recording a triple-double!He even slightly surpassed Akashi in terms of personal data, but still lost.

Akashi finished with 28 points, 15 assists, 4 rebounds and 8 steals!

In the last 3 minutes of the game, the score difference between Luoshan and Futian was still three points. Relying on the completeness of the lineup, Futian, whose overall strength was acceptable, kept the score tight and almost saw the dawn of victory.

Unfortunately, Hui Qi still lost to Akashi in the final ace duel.

At this point, Futian has been eliminated comprehensively, and this year's top four teams in the summer competition have been announced.

They are Haichang, Luoshan, Yangquan and Xiude.

Before the results of the draw for the semi-finals came out, Everbright netizens discussed the topic of "who is this year's champion?"

On the Internet, the "Prophecy Emperor" reappears.

"Who will be the champion this year? I checked my phone recently and found that this question is very popular, but what I want to say is, isn't it obvious who the champion is?"

In the video, the "Prophet Emperor" wears a mask on his face and wears a black sweatshirt. He looks mysterious and profound under the reflection of filters and lights.

"Every year, dark horses appear frequently in national competitions, and championship-level teams emerge one after another. Like Chenglin in the first year and Futian Composite in the second year, there are always people who say that they can win the championship this year, but what about the results? ?”

The prophecy emperor knocked on the table and said disdainfully: "The result is not the same as what I told you?"

Of course, he didn't mention a word about Haichang's counterattack against Luoshan in the Winter Cup last year.

"This year's championship must be one of Xiude and Yangquan! For sure!"

The Prophecy Emperor's tone was very firm. He pulled out an analysis chart prepared in advance from under the table and spread it out in front of everyone.

"Let me give you a simple analysis. It is known that Hai Chang won the championship in the first four competitions. I have to admit that Hai Chang's strength is very outstanding and has even surpassed the level of high school students, but!"

"The premise is that this Haichang team is complete, and due to the shortcomings of this summer season, the limit of this Haichang team is the runner-up level."

The Prophecy Emperor shook his head in regret, then turned over the analysis diagram and continued to explain: "The complete body of Haichang is undoubtedly the only one in existence, and those who are closely behind them are the complete bodies. Luoshan, unfortunately, this year's Luoshan is also not completely..."

"I don't know if you have watched the first round of the game, but if you can watch this video, I believe that everyone should be very sincere basketball fans, and naturally they will not miss Hai Chang's first round of the game, so here it is The interesting thing is coming…”

The Prophecy Emperor took out a black pen, drew a circle on Haichang's column on the analysis chart, and said: "Haichang seemed to have lost his soul throughout the game. Facing Suzuya without Kise, For a high school opponent, until the end of the game, the point difference between the two teams was only two points."

"Unfortunately, this is the answer Hai Chang handed in this year..."

The Prophecy Emperor spread his hands and threw the analysis chart he was holding on the ground.

"No offense to Suzuya High School, but as a team in the Southern Division, over the years, Suzuya has only had one result against Yangquan High School..."

"The first half was not even over yet, and the game was taken away by a blast!"

"Unfortunately, Hai Chang fans in front of the screen, your home team may have its winning streak cut short this year..."

"By the way, between Xiude and Yangquan, I am more optimistic about Yangquan."

Inside the shark gym
Masako and Xiang Yang haven't seen each other for a long time due to the team's training problems, but today, they rarely stay together.

Masako leaned her legs on the coffee table, chewing gum while flipping through the magazine in her hand, blowing a bubble from time to time to make a crunching sound.

Xiang Yang was lying on the inverted pedal machine with headphones on his head, doing his daily required strength training.

The two stayed in this state for a long time. Although they did not communicate with each other, they could both clearly feel the presence of each other in this not-so-wide space.

At this moment, the door to the gym was suddenly pushed open.

Masako didn't even raise her eyelids, subconsciously thinking that she was a member of her own gym. As a gangster sister, Masako never cared about her property income, so even if she occasionally found someone sneaking in to work out without a card, Masako wouldn't care much about it. say what.

Of course... Masako in an angry state doesn't count.

But this time Masako guessed wrong. The person who came in was not a gym member or someone looking for petty gains.

"coach."

A voice interrupted Masako's leisurely time reading a magazine. She frowned and looked up, only to see her own outside ace Tatsuya Himuro standing there, smiling and bowing to her.

"What's wrong, ice room?"

Masako closed the magazine, withdrew her scrutinizing gaze, and asked Himuro.

Himuro smiled: "Nothing to do, coach, but there is a competition the day after tomorrow, so I just wanted to come to the gym to practice again."

Masako nodded slightly, indicating to Himuro that it was okay to be casual, and then opened the magazine again and started reading.

Himuro was not polite to Masako, and came to the strength area with ease. He was just about to lift two dumbbells to warm up, but he saw Xiang Yang.

"Hey? Mr. Xiangyang, are you there too?"

Himuro was a little surprised, but he immediately realized that compared to Xiang Yang being here, he was obviously stranger here.

Himuro, who is a Yangquan player and knows Xiang Yang, naturally knows everything about his relationship with Masako.

At this moment, Xiang Yang, who had just finished a set of training, also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the arrival of the ice room, he was also taken aback for a moment.

"Sorry Himuro, what did you just say?"

Xiangyang took off his headphones and asked Himurodo, who waved his hand to indicate it was nothing.

Suddenly, Himuro seemed to have remembered something, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little strange. Xiang Yang keenly noticed the change in his expression and asked, "What's wrong, Himuro?"

"It's nothing, it's just that there are some rumors on the Internet recently, I don't know if you have seen it..."
