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

Chapter 234 Hai Chang’s Insider Flaw

"...here today, I will make you lose face!"

Tanaka looked at Kimura nervously, constantly adjusting his position to allow a wider defensive range.

It's a pity that Kimura didn't want to play some stupid game with him, so he directly hit Tanaka with a explosive ball.

Feeling a pressure coming from in front of him, Tanaka looked horrified and quickly tilted his center of gravity to resist Kimura's offensive. However, his action directly exposed his side gap to Kimura.

With a standard inside turning movement, Kimura lightly passed by Tanaka, raised his hand and shot a rebound shot directly. Because he was stuck in the position by Kimura's body, Tanaka had to stand there, watching as Kimura was about to complete the score.

At this moment, a broad figure suddenly jumped out from the side.

boom!
Kimura's rebound shot had just reached the top of the basket, but before he could touch the backboard, a pair of big hands pressed him on the backboard.

The smile on Kimura's face froze at the same time. He looked up and saw Hiroshi Ohara grabbing the basketball with one hand and landing it with an indifferent expression.

Immediately afterwards, Ohara made a long pass to find Xiangyang, who had already run towards Xiude's half. pass.

Xiang Yang still received the pass at an uncomfortable angle, easily tapped the Xiude player who was chasing after him, and Xiang Yang scored two points.

At this point, Hai Chang successfully scored the first goal of the game. Xiang Yang did not waste this opportunity. He patted his chest with one hand and then pointed to the sky in a simple celebration to give everyone in Hai Chang a "buff" .

It wasn't until Xiang Yang finished his celebration that Ohara turned his attention back to Kimura. His face, which was not very emotional, let out a sneer, and the expression on his face was also full of ridicule.

Although Ohara is usually taciturn, this does not mean that he is mute. Seeing his junior student being ridiculed by the opponent, Ohara, who has been promoted to the second grade of Kaisun, naturally wants to help Tanaka regain his place.

Looking at Ohara's strong body, Kimura said nothing and turned around and returned directly to his own half.

Seeing this scene, Ohara shook his head: "He is really a bully and afraid of the strong."

"Are you okay Tanaka?"

Ohara patted Tanaka on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't take it too seriously, just try your best to do what you should do. Don't be afraid of him, I will help you."

Ohara, who had always been quiet, suddenly cared about him. Tanaka was a little flattered, nodded in agreement, and focused more on the game.

At the beginning, Haichang took the lead, and Xiude once again attacked with the ball. Although Ohara successfully defended Tanaka with a beautiful peg board cap to resolve the crisis, both Xiangyang and Takao knew that Kimura was very concerned about Tanaka's attack. Counterpoint suppression is visible to the naked eye.

Next, Midorima started up again and was still walking leisurely on the court. With his performance, Xiang Yang had no other tricks and had to follow him, leaving the defensive responsibility to his teammates.

Takao faced off against Yuuki. He dribbled the ball while looking for gaps in Kaidune's defense. Even when the attack time was about to run out, he didn't show any signs of being anxious.

At this time, Kimura, who had been standing on the inside for a long time, suddenly popped out of the outside line, leaving Tanaka behind, reaching out and trying to pass the ball with Takao.

Seeing a shooting space appeared in front of Kimura, Tanaka rushed to meet it. However, at the moment he pressed forward, Kimura suddenly broke through and caught Tanaka off guard.

This time, even Ohara failed to rush to the defense in time. Kimura faced the empty Kaijo penalty area, took off in three steps and dunked with one hand, and succeeded in dunking!
Xiude's two points are valid!
Listening to the referee's decision, Xiang Yang frowned slightly and looked at his teammates.

Tanaka's various abilities are outclassed by Kimura, and Kaiju himself is not a strong inside team, but he used to have Kobori who was obsessed with grabbing rebounds and Kise who had full attribute points, so many times, Xiangyang played It is a very relaxed state.

[Oops, Ryota’s absence has a big impact on the team...]

Xiang Yang pursed his lips and did not blame Tanaka. Instead, he stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to move and carefully observed Xiude's defense.

Compared with defense, Kaichan is more inclined to gain an advantage on the offensive end. Even if Kise is not here, this Kaichan team is still the top team among all the teams in the national competition.

In Hai Chang's offensive round, Xiang Yang holds the ball.

Since Tanaka was still present, Xiangyang did not initiate the "bombardment" tactic. Instead, he gestured with the number "6" with one hand, taking the lead in using Kaitune's usual tactic of "horn attack."

Except for Xiangyang's high-post deal, the other four players in Haichang started running at the same time. After several penetrations and pick-and-rolls, Xiangyang's offense found a three-point opportunity in the bottom corner, and passed it to Moriyama with one hand.

Moriyama, who won the "Top Scorer" three times in a row in junior high school and averaged nearly 60% field goal percentage per game, did not miss this opportunity. He took off and took a look at the basket before successfully throwing the ball into the basket.

One minute into the game, 1:5, Hai Chang took the lead temporarily.

However, the good times did not last long. After discovering that Kimura had a miraculous effect on Tanaka in singles, Hidetoku's Takao distributed the ball to the inside many times, temporarily abandoning Midorima's big killer.

It seems that Xiude's offensive ability has been greatly weakened, but this is not the case. Giving Midorima a rest in the first quarter not only preserved his ace strength, but also allowed Xiangyang to throw a trap and not dare to help defend his teammates at will.

Xiangyang can be sure that as long as his defense is slightly lax, Midorima will directly punish Kaitō with his supermodel three-pointer from a thousand miles away from the basket.

Xiangyang couldn't get away in a short period of time. In order to prevent Kimura from beating Tanaka more and more in singles, Ohara was forced to focus more on assisting defense. This resulted in Xiudoku's second-year center Yuya Miyachi getting More opportunities to play.

Not only did he take advantage of Ohara's distraction to steal chickens and score layups many times, he also frequently ran to the outside and used pick-and-rolls to create space for the high tail.

So far, Haichang was firmly suppressed by Xiude in the first quarter.

At 32:27, Xiude gained a 5-point advantage and entered the second quarter.

Haichang on the bench
Xiang Yang raised his mouth and hooked up the black pen, holding the tactical board in his hand to think about the next response strategy.

Beside him, Ohara patted Tanaka on the shoulder from time to time to express comfort.

To be honest, at least half of the blame for Haichan's poor performance in the first quarter lies with Tanaka.

"Tsk..."

Xiang Yang took out the black pen, scratched a few times on the tactical board, and then said: "In the second quarter, the lineup needs to be changed... let me think about it..."

As soon as these words came out, Tanaka's head lowered instantly, and the others in Haichan also understood it tacitly at the moment.

Judging from Tanaka's performance in the first quarter, if the lineup needs to be adjusted, he will undoubtedly have to be replaced.

However, Xiang Yang's next words were beyond everyone's expectations.

"In the second quarter, Moriyama, let's take a rest first. How is your condition, Fukuhara? Go on and play the third position. Is there no problem?"

Hearing that he was being named, Fukuhara was taken aback for a moment, he opened his mouth slightly and pointed at himself, surprised: "Me?"

Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows: "What's the problem? After warming up, you can start now."

"No, no, I'm fine!"

Fukuhara waved his hands quickly, and then showed an excited expression on his face.

[Sidetoku... you must be very strong. Playing against such an opponent really makes me excited! 】

Just when Fukuhara was happy, Yuuki raised his hand and asked, "Senior Xiangyang, what position should I play? Do you want to rest?"

Yuuki was originally supposed to play the second position, but considering the integrity of the lineup, Xiangyang arranged for Moriyama to play the starting shooting guard position before the game, while Yuuki, who prefers all-around play, filled in at the third position.

Xiang Yang decisively shook his head in denial, joking that Kise had already left the team, and you, Yuuki, were going to leave the game. How could he play with this?
"Just go back and play the second position. If Fukuhara is on the court, it should be easier to protect the rim at home."

Xiang Yang touched his nose, his eyes swept across Haichang and everyone, and finally stopped on Tanaka.

"Tanaka."

"exist!"

Xiang Yang's sudden roll call made Tanaka tremble, and he quickly sat upright, waiting for Xiang Yang to continue.

Just when Tanaka thought he was inevitably scolded, Xiangyang put his arms around his shoulders, leaned into his ear and said, "Don't be so nervous, your body is too tight."

"Relax, I'll keep you on the court until the critical moment arrives."

Tanaka blinked, and a flash of hesitation flashed across his face. He wanted to tell Xiang Yang that he really couldn't guard against Xiudoku's center.

However, Xiangyang didn't give him a chance to say frustrated words. He patted his head and turned his attention elsewhere, instructing his teammates to pay attention to other things.

Seeing that his teammates didn't seem to care about his poor performance at all, Tanaka, who was about to say something, opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

He patted his cheek vigorously, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of determination!

beep—

The buzzer sounded to start the second quarter.

Fukuhara jumped up from the bench in excitement and took the lead in running towards the court.

Vaguely, Xiang Yang seemed to see Senior Xiaojue from another angle...

"Does our team have nothing to do with hot-blooded idiots?"

Xiang Yangxu complained, then patted Tanaka beside him, and said angrily: "Can you learn from others? If you are not passionate or an idiot, can you still be considered an inside player?"

Tanaka:…

"Hey, senior Xiangyang taught me a lesson."

Since Xiangyang has officially entered the third grade, his seniority, which has nowhere to rest, can finally be used freely.

Seeing Tanaka's obedient response, Xiang Yang nodded in satisfaction, rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "Let's go boys, get the score back before the end of the first half!"

"Hi!"
