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

Chapter 240 The Passion of Murasakihara

Yangquan application suspended
"Dun, are you okay?"

Himuro picked up a bottle of water and handed it to Murasakibara, asking with concern.

Murasakibara took the water handed by Himuro and poured it into his mouth without saying a word. However, before he drank much, Masako hit him on the back of the head with a knife.

"Idiot, drinking too much will affect your ability to exercise."

Masako crossed his arms and looked at Haichang's bench with a cold face. Over there, Xiangyang noticed Masako's gaze and raised the water bottle in his hand to make a toast gesture with her.

"This bastard..."

Masako bit her lip. Although she knew that Xiang Yang was deliberately irritating her, she still couldn't help but get angry. After all, Xiang Yang's ability to ridicule was very good.

"Purple Plain."

Masako turned her head and looked at Murasakihara seriously: "If we continue like this, we will be in danger."

At this moment, there were only two points at the beginning of the second quarter, and the point difference between the two teams was only three points, 32:29, with Hai Chang leading.

The point difference does not seem to be much, but everyone in the Yangquan team knows very well that if Kaichan is allowed to use the "hacking tactics" like this, the point difference will eventually be lost even if Murasakihara cannot make a free throw. enlarge.

Murasakihara took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and solemnly said: "I understand, coach, leave it to me."

[If those bastards continue to use this tactic against me, then I will definitely make the free throws! 】

Just as Murasakihara secretly swore in his heart, the whistle for the end of the timeout also sounded.

However, this time, Hai Chang's decision once again exceeded Yang Quan's expectations.

The two previous players from the Kaijung Atmosphere team did not continue to play, but replaced Moriyama and Tanaka who had previously been substituted.

This means that Hai Chang does not intend to continue the "cutting tactics".

"What are you doing? What other evil ideas are you trying to pull?"

Murasakihara frowned and asked Xiangyang, but the latter asked with a confused look on his face: "What's wrong? We're playing on the field. Don't we allow substitutions?"

As he spoke, Xiang Yang blinked, as if he didn't understand what Murasakihara meant.

Seeing Xiang Yang's appearance, Zi Yuan's face twitched several times, and he opened his mouth several times to speak, but was held back by himself. In the end, Zi Yuan had to turn around angrily, leaving Xiang Yang with his back.

"It took a lot of effort to prepare yourself mentally for free throws, but when you get on the court, you find that you don't have to take free throws. Doesn't it feel like you hit cotton with your fist, Murasakihara?"

Xiangyang licked the corners of his mouth and looked at Murasakihara's retreating back with a knowing smile on his face.

He was not naive enough to think that Yangquan could be taken over with just some small tricks.No matter how low the stability of Murasakibara's free throws is, there is a limit.

If they commit too many fouls and Murasakibara takes a penalty, it will be self-defeating.

"So, it's better to use some real power."

Yangquan home kick-off rights
After the timeout, Zi Yuan was clearly on fire, especially after seeing Xiang Yang playing tricks on him, this anger reached its peak!
After Himuro held the ball in the high post, he played a simple pick-and-roll with Murasakibara. The latter received the pass from Himuro and rushed into the paint with two strides. He smashed the basketball into the frame with a tomahawk dunk and won the game. The first goal after a timeout!
As Murasakihara's feet landed, Yangquan fans cheered. However, amidst the cheers, Xiangyang immediately ran out of bounds. Before everyone in Yangquan could react, he made a long pass to the basketball. Deliver it to Yuuki.

In just three seconds, Yuuki was like a bolt of lightning, rushing directly from the midfield position to the Yangquan half-court frame. He stopped suddenly in one step, took off in two steps, and raised his hand to do a flaming chop with one hand!Yuuki dunked in another way, showing a different style from Murasakibara, but the same powerful fast break dunk!
The cheers of the Yangquan fans didn't even end, and the cheers of the Haichang fans had already started. In such a tight-paced game, everyone in the audience focused all their attention on the game, for fear of not paying attention. Just miss a wonderful shot.

In this way, when Haichang temporarily put aside the "cutting pier" tactic, Yangquan and Haichang seemed to reproduce the scene in the first quarter, but this time, it was slightly different.

In Haichang's round of attack, Moriyama accidentally passed the ball too low in the process of passing the ball, so that it hit a certain player's foot. Affected by the rebound force, the basketball flew directly to an unknown place. In the human area, Xiang Yang, with quick eyesight and quick hands, was the first to react and rushed towards the basketball.

I thought that as the person closest to the basketball, I had already pocketed the ball on the floor. However, what Xiang Yang didn't expect was that Yangquan point guard Chang Zhe also rushed over as soon as he took action and encountered Xiang Yang. The moment the ball was passed, Changzhe jumped up and saved the basketball directly out of bounds.

When the referee blew the penalty, Xiang Yang looked at Changzhe in shock. He really didn't expect that this guy with mediocre strength would be so aggressive in fighting for the ball on the floor.

Not every player can put his own safety aside during the game.

In addition, in the second half of the second quarter, Himuro and Yuuki also began to compete.

After settling down in the first quarter, Himuro took the lead to find the status, activated the "zone" mode, and successfully suppressed Yuuki. However, the good times did not last long. After Xiangyang put the "zone" mode sharing switch on Yuuki, the second The duel between people suddenly became anxious.

Using his "Kage Flame Shooting" as his core skill, Himuro successfully broke through Yuuki's defense with his ridiculously stable core strength, and Yuuki also used the "zone" mode to defeat himself. The lightning-fast first step is vividly demonstrated.

The duel between the two even overshadowed the rivalry between Murasakibara and Xiang Yang. After all, the duel between two players in the same position can be said to be the most popular thing for the audience to see.

This lasted until the end of the first half, with the two sides competing in offensive and defensive battles. The score was finally fixed at 54:51, with Hai Chang taking the lead.

Halftime break, in Haichang's locker room

"They are more difficult than imagined, Xiangyang."

Takeuchi rubbed his chin, frowned slightly, and flipped through the tactical board in his hand.

Xiang Yang pondered for a while, and replied: "Their determination to compete is very strong. Compared with the previous fights, today's Yangquan is probably in the strongest state."

For some reason, the momentum of everyone in Yangquan has not weakened at all since the game started, and there is even a faint feeling of strengthening.

This is not good news for Haichang.

Takeuchi glanced around the locker room, whispered into Xiangyang's ear: "It's almost time to use that trick, right?"

Xiang Yang's eyes flickered and he said with a smile: "Of course, now that we have reached this juncture, hiding it and not using it anymore is not a trump card, but a joke."

Xiang Yang moved his neck a few times and made two clicks, he stood up and cleared his throat gently.

Although there was not much movement, the originally noisy Haichang locker room seemed to have been pressed by some kind of switch, and it immediately became quiet.

Xiang Yang's voice came from the middle of the locker room.

"In the second half, Tanaka and Moriyama should both come off the court and take a rest."

"Fukuhara, Shimamura."

Xiang Yang looked at it and asked, "Is it okay?"

Fukuhara rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his nose and smiled: "Of course! I can't wait any longer!"

"I've been training for so long, but I haven't used it in an official competition yet!"

Compared with Fukuhara, Shimamura's reaction was much duller. He raised his forehead slightly and said to Xiang Yang: "Senior, I will work hard."

Coincidentally, at this time, the whistle at the end of the halftime break also sounded.

Xiang Yang withdrew his gaze, stretched, and then extended his palms to the air.

At this moment, all members of Hai Chang placed their palms on top of Xiang Yang in a tacit understanding.

Xiang Yang blinked and looked around at his teammates. Each of their faces had anticipation of victory.

"Really... I really can't bring myself to do this kind of plot that only appears in cartoons."

Xiang Yang's lazy voice came from the locker room, but immediately after, a sonorous and powerful voice sounded.

"Haichang!"

"champion!"

……

……

"Welcome everyone to watch the special episode of Basketball Date, which is exclusively sponsored by the Akashi family Zaibatsu. Now the live game has officially entered the second half!"

In the organizer's event live broadcast room, Bobo grabbed the microphone with one hand and explained to the audience with great interest.

"Let's look at the personnel changes in Yangquan first... emm is exactly the same as the starting lineup in the first quarter. It seems that Yangquan is bound to win today."

Bobo glanced at the data panel on the technical desk and continued: "So far, the Yangquan family's star Ziyuan Dun has scored 20 points and 13 rebounds. It seems that until the end of the game, his score exceeded three The top ten is already a certainty.”

"As for the Yangquan family's second star and outside core, Tatsuya Himuro, he scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, which is also impressive."

"Let's look at Kaisuru's side. In the second half, Kaisō chose to replace two freshmen from the first grade and replaced them with two other first-year students. They were Toshihide Fukuhara and Toshio Shimamura."

Having said this, Bobo couldn't help but frown, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong, but as a gold medal basketball blogger and commentator, his excellent professionalism allowed him to continue talking.

"So far in this year's competition, Kaijo's four first-year freshmen have all achieved good results. Fukuhara also played in the last game against Showtoku. He averaged 7.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. This is Hai Changdeli...wait, are my eyes blurred?"

Bobo was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes and looked at the broadcast screen again. The next moment, a shocking expression appeared on his face, and he screamed: "Oh my God, what did I see! Hai Chang's first start in the second half Lineup, no center!”

"Center? Well, isn't it there?"

On the field, Himuro also discovered this problem and hinted to Xiangyang in a vague way, but he never thought that when the latter heard his words, he just pointed at Ohara casually, without any thought of suspending substitutions.

Himuro was stunned. He looked at Ohara and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: This guy... I remember he has been playing power forward since last year?

In fact, the five positions in basketball are not clearly divided. If a player's abilities are full of diversity, then as long as the technical ability conditions are up to standard, he can even go back and forth among the five positions from No. [-] to No. [-]. switch.

The most typical example is Muyoshi Teppei, the big man who uses the one-position style in the fifth position.

On the surface, there is no big problem for Hiroshi Ohara, who is nearly 1.9 meters [-] in height, to play the fifth position in the high school competition. After all, Haichang's champion center Hiroshi Kobori last year is similar in height to Ohara.

However, the real problem is the Hai Chang Family's No. [-] position.

When Takeuchi sent his starting list for the second half to the technical desk, one of the staff members looked at Takeuchi with a look like "Are you crazy?"

When Ohara moved from position 1.9 to position [-], Kaijo also replaced the only player in the team who was over two meters tall (Tanaka). This meant that among the two new players, only one player had the right to play. Fukuhara, who is [-] meters tall, looks a bit like a power forward.

As for Yangquan, which has always been known for its tall insiders, except for Himuro and another starting player, the average height of the other three players among the five starting players is [-] meters.

"You know, man, if I tell my buddy now that there is a basketball team whose highest talent is only 195, but they have to compete with a bunch of teams whose players are nearly two meters tall, and they still want to win... They'll think I'm crazy."

The staff member grabbed Kaidune's starting list and spoke to Takeuchi with a strange look on his face.

Regarding the "kind reminder" from the staff, Takeuchi shrugged and said: "Just watch, my players will bring wonderful performances."

On the field, Ziyuan stood next to Ohara. He looked at Fukuhara and Shimamura who were new to the field, and couldn't help but said to Xiangyang: "You won't use tactical fouls to send me to the free throw line again? I warn you , now I will not be affected by your little tricks."

Xiang Yang's expression was startled. He looked at the serious look on Ziyuan's face and couldn't help but laugh: "Don't say it, it looks like we are going to continue the trick-cutting strategy."

"But you guessed wrong Murasakibara..."

Xiang Yang shook his head with a smile, and said meaningfully: "Next, your life may be worse than death."

……

……

"Players from both sides please get into position."

"Beep - the game begins!"

In the third quarter, Haichang had the right to attack first.

Xiang Yang stood out of bounds and served the ball to Shimamura.

Due to Tanaka's dismissal, Kaisune's current No. [-] position is held by Ohara, while the No. [-] position is Toshihide Fukuhara.

But there is a problem here. Since Fukuhara himself was born at the third position, his height is somewhat disadvantaged among power forwards. In order to make up for the defensive ability on the front line, Xiangyang placed Yuuki at the third position.

Hai Chang Leng's knowledge: Yuuki's height has grown from 1.9 meters in the previous year to 1.9 meters in height.

Among the current starting five, excluding Ohara, Yuuki is the tallest.

Shimamura received the ball in the backcourt, without hesitation, he handed the ball directly to Xiangyang, and then rushed to Yangquan's half court.

Xiang Yang dribbled the ball forward with one hand, his eyes lowered, observing the composition of the defense line of the five Yangquan players. Although he had already decided to use the bombardment tactic, facing Yangquan with excellent defensive quality, this tactic was not easy to use. of.

Therefore, in this round of offense, Xiangyang did not choose to organize too much. Instead, after making a gesture of pulling away, he singled out the Yangquan point guard and scored a goal.

Since Kise left the team, Kaijo has been lacking a singles player on the offensive end. Fortunately, Xiang Yang, whose offensive ability has been improved in all aspects, can fill this role well.

Xiang Yang scored the ball, switching offense and defense, and Yang Quan attacked with the ball.

Although Kaichan's current starting five look short, the impact is not that big. After all, no matter how tall they are, can they still be taller than Murasakibara?

On the contrary, because Fukuhara, who is full of physical strength, joined in, Haichan gave Yangquan a greater threat in terms of stealing.

After one round of passing the ball, Yangquan once again sent the ball into Murasakibara's hands, and this inside monster did not disappoint his teammates. He grabbed the ball with both hands and jumped up on the spot, performing another "showtime" on the basket in Kaijo's half.

This time, everyone in Haichang, who had become accustomed to Murasakibara's presence, was not intimidated. Instead, they walked towards the midfield in an orderly manner.

Yuuki trotted to the outside and sent the ball directly to Xiang Yang's hands. At the same time, everyone in Haichang looked shocked and rushed towards the Yangquan half.

Himuro was the first to react. He retreated quickly to defend and at the same time shouted loudly: "Be careful! They are going to pass the ball!"

Since he suffered a loss at the hands of Xiang Yang and Yuuki in the second quarter, Himuro subconsciously thought that they were going to repeat the situation and recreate the scene.

But this time... they guessed wrong.

After receiving the ball, Xiang Yang not only had no intention of passing the ball, but changed his previous casual dribbling posture and pushed the ball with one hand and sprinted directly towards the Yangquan half court.

[He wants a one-stop fast break? 】

At this moment, this idea flashed through Himuro's mind, but he quickly rejected the idea.

Because apart from Xiang Yang, Kai Chang's starting five, together with Ohara, who is the center, all sprinted towards the Yangquan half.

Subconsciously, everyone in Yangquan quickly returned to defend. Only Murasakihara was still in the midfield position and failed to defend in place.

At this moment, in the Yangquan half, there was a five-on-four situation!
Xiangyang's eyes flashed, and he waved his right hand. While directing the movement, the pass was already in place. Yuuki rushed out to catch the ball from the bottom corner. After attracting an inside defensive player from Yangquan, he decisively distributed the ball to the other side. Ohara.

Similarly, a Yangquan defender made up for Dayuan, and then the script repeated itself. Whenever a Haichang player received the ball, a Yangquan player would follow him. I have to say that their defense was very good. , It's a pity... the current Yangquan half is five against four.

In just three seconds, each of the five members of Haichang received a pass. In the end, the basketball was passed to Xiang Yang. He stood on the free throw line, looked back at Murasakibara who was about to arrive, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. radian.

"Under arrest, big guy."

"Don't worry, this kind of situation will happen again."
