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

Chapter 233: I’ve been caught in the rain, so I want to tear up other people’s umbrellas

"Moses Moses~ Is that the sole heir to the Akashi family chaebol on the other end of the phone?"

On the bus back to school in Luoshan, Akashi's eyes twitched as he listened to the incoherent voice on the phone, and said angrily: "If you are here to mock me, then you'd better hang up the phone now."

There was no need to confirm the other party's identity. The only person who dared to talk to him in a teasing tone was Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang smiled "hehe" and said, "How could it be? I know exactly how I feel after losing the game. I'm not such a bad person if I still mock others at this moment."

Akashi held his chin with one hand and looked out the window, but he said without giving Xiang Yang any face, "If people like you don't have a bad character, then I really can't think of any other guy who is more suitable for this term." .”

Xiang Yang:…

"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else."

Xiang Yang cleared his throat, bypassed the topic, and said seriously: "Yang Quan played great today, but your performance has exceeded my expectations. You are very strong Akashi, the last two in Luoshan The responsibility for the mistake does not lie with you."

Akashi was silent for a while, and after confirming that Xiang Yang was praising him, he politely responded: "Thank you."

"But if you lose, you lose. There is no such thing as Luoshan losing and me not losing. I selected the starting members. If they failed to play well, I am also responsible."

It was not a polite word on the scene, Akashi's tone was very serious. It was obvious that not only did he not mean to blame his teammates, but he also took most of the blame for the loss on himself.

Xiang Yang smacked his lips and sighed: "You have such a damn sense of responsibility, you are really born to be a big shot..."

"Speaking of which, my current situation is almost exactly the same as yours..."

Xiangyang looked at Masako in the driver's seat next to her. She seemed to be in a good mood because she had won the race.

"Hai Chang also has two starters leaving the team this year. The most terrible thing is that Kise is no longer there."

Xiang Yang held his forehead and felt helpless. Although he looked confident in front of fans, teammates and even coaches, in fact, only he knew the pressure on him.

Excellent commanders never bring panic to their subordinates, but at the same time, they often carry more burdens than the soldiers who charged forward.

The team lacks a center, there are too many newcomers in the starting lineup, and the top star has left the team... All these pressures are now on Xiang Yang, and they are even vaguely weighing him down.

Hearing the tiredness in Xiangyang's words, Akashi paused and said, "I will watch it during the finals."

Akashi's tone didn't fluctuate much, but his meaning was clearly that it was a certainty that Kaitsune would enter the finals.

Xiang Yang was stunned, and subconsciously teased Akashi: "You have so much confidence in me? You know Xiude is not any weaker than Yang Quan, and Kai Chang is also a remnant. I'm really afraid that not only will I lose the championship this year The trophy can’t even be touched on the floor of the finals.”

Listening to Xiang Yang's self-deprecation, Akashi's expression remained unchanged and he said firmly: "You can reach the finals, and this year's champion will definitely be you!"

Xiang Yang was silent. He looked at Akashi's number that was flashing on the screen of his mobile phone. He couldn't believe what he heard. After a while, he smiled and said, "I'll lend you some good words."

"Can I lend you some good words?"

Akashi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is this?"

As a neon person, Akashi couldn't react to many kinds of fancy neon words. Xiangyang smiled and added: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm thanking you."

"Haichang plays Yangquan in the finals, remember to come and watch!"

After saying that, Xiang Yang hung up the phone, turned his head and leaned against the car window, smelling the quiet orchid fragrance in the car, and gradually fell asleep.

Masako, who was in the main driver's seat, saw this scene and quietly slowed down the car to make the car body as stable as possible so as not to disturb Xiang Yang.

If anyone can understand Xiang Yang's fatigue best now, it's probably Masako... No, now, Akashi must also be added.

Akaashi couldn't help but shook his head when he heard the "beep" sound of hanging up on the phone. He put down the phone and looked out the window, with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

Due to the incompleteness of the lineup, it stopped here, and Akashi's heart was not without any waves.

As they were both on the remnant team, he didn't want Hai Chang to end up in the same fate as him.

"You have to win tomorrow's game...and you must win the finals too!"

……

……

The second day of the semi-finals
In Xiude's locker room

Midorima slowly removed the bandage on his right hand. This shooting hand, which he has carefully cultivated all year round, will only be used by him during official games.

In the corner of the dressing room, there is a bunch of pothos placed there. There is no doubt that it is the lucky thing for Gemini today.

Midorima raised his right hand and held it in the air for a few times, and murmured: "The zodiac signs with the best fortune today are Gemini and Virgo. If the two meet, they will need stronger willpower to win..."

Midorima breathed a long sigh of relief, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then slowly stood up, took off the glasses on his face and wiped them.

"gone."

Midorima whispered, and put the glasses back on his face, his sharp eyes flashed the determination to win behind the lenses.

Pushing open the door to the locker room, Takao crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. When he saw Midorima finally coming out, he couldn't help but laugh and curse: "You're so slow, Makoto-chan."

Midorima did not answer, and gently brushed the green radish in his arms with his right hand. As a lucky charm, it was naturally placed on the bench to fight with him.

Takao rested his hands on top of his head, and he was no stranger to the fact that Midorima often held all kinds of strange things before the game.

"Luoshan was eliminated by Yangquan."

Takao followed Midorima, and the two of them headed to the arena together.

"This means that as long as we defeat Hai Chang, the finals will be against Yangquan."

"This year is already the best opportunity, Xiaozhen."

"Ah."

……

……

"Please advise!"

The customary greeting.

Xiangyang and Takao simply shook hands and quickly separated. The battle was about to begin, and neither Xiangyang nor he was in the mood to chat before the battle.

Xiang Yang arched his nose and stood in his own half with his hands on his knees, waiting for the jump ball to begin.

Midorima raised his right hand under the light and looked at it carefully.

Off the field, the audience's cries were endless. Kaichan and Xiudoku had fought before, but this time, the situation was different. Without Kise in charge, could Haizhang still win Xiudoku?

Showtoku's starting lineup is still the same team. Ever since Midorima and Takao's seniors graduated, Showtoku has been in a dilemma.

At that time, all the senior starting players in the team had graduated, with only second-year players Takao and Midorima still in the starting lineup. Last year's Shutoku also had many first-year players playing at the same time because of the lack of talent in the team. The new students were eliminated.

But now, the original first-year students have grown up. After a whole year of polishing, they are no longer the rookies they were back then.

Showtoku, the current second-year starting center, Kimura Taisuke, took the lead in waiting at the jump ball spot before the referee called.

He looked at Tanaka, Haichan's first-year center this year, with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes!

A year ago, Kimura, who was still a first-year rookie, faced Kai Tsune's Kobori. Although he was not beaten to pieces, he was completely suppressed.

This resulted in the inside being unable to open up the situation, and Midorima on the outside being attacked by Xiang Yang and Kise many times, unable to stand alone and ultimately losing the game.

This was the most regrettable thing for Taisuke Kimura when he was in first grade.

However, now...

"I will repay you in full today the losses I suffered from you, Hai Chang!"

At the jump ball point, Kimura looked at Tanaka with an angry look on his face and said with an angry smile: "Welcome to the high school arena, rookie."

Tanaka was stunned, obviously not understanding what Kimura meant. Before he could ask a question, the referee had already blown the whistle to start the game.

At the same time, the basketball was lifted high into the sky. Kimura kept an eye on the basketball and jumped decisively when it reached its own bounce range. He stretched out his right hand high and was about to win the first attack ball for Xiudoku.

Tanaka reacted and jumped up with all his strength. Unfortunately, in terms of static talent, Tanaka was far behind Kimura.

Kimura was very relaxed, so he turned the basketball back to his own half, and at the same time he did not forget to give Tanaka a provocative look.

"You can only jump this high, rookie."

Tanaka pursed his lips and did not reply, but retreated to his own half and prepared to return to defense.

Xiang Yang had a clear view of this scene, but he had no intention of blaming Tanaka.

It was Xiangyang's arrangement to put Tanaka in the starting lineup. Due to the particularity of the bombardment tactic, it was destined that this was not a tactic that could be used at the beginning.

At least until the third quarter, preferably the fourth quarter, Xiangyang will replace Tanaka and create a "five-guard" lineup.

"It doesn't matter, be careful and don't miss anyone!"

Xiang Yang yelled, stood at the front of the line, and went directly to Lujian.

If you want to drag the rhythm of the game into the second half, Midorima's terrifying three-point shooting must be limited.

The current Kai Chang lacks Kise, and his offensive ability has dropped significantly. In this case, every defensive round is particularly precious.

Facing Xiangyang's defensive defense, Midorima ran tentatively to the lower position. After realizing that there was little chance, he signaled Takao to organize himself.

Under Yuuki's academic-style defense, Takao soon discovered that this kid was very difficult to deal with just like Xiang Yang.

In the end, Takao chose to play a conductive ball and sent the ball to Kimura inside.

In the penalty area, Kimura looked at Tanaka, who looked unnatural in front of him, with a sinister smile on his face.

"Are you ready, rookie? Here today, I will make you lose face!"
