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

Chapter 243: Taking charge of the defeated army

"No, it's okay, there was a mosquito just now."

Xiang Yang glanced at Ohara and did not ask further questions. Instead, he focused his attention on the scoreboard.

"In the last quarter, a seven-point lead..."

"Enough."

……

……

beep—

A long whistle sounded, which also represented the arrival of the final decisive battle between Yang Quan and Hai Chang.

After a short pause, Murasakihara's aura showed no signs of condensing, and the crackling purple electricity still flashed in his eyes, which looked really scary.

But Xiang Yang could tell at a glance that Murasakihara's current physical condition was not as fierce as he looked on the surface.

The high-tempo game lasted for three quarters, dragging a body weighing more than 200 kilograms to run back and forth with them. If nothing else happens, Murasakihara will not be able to continue to cause damage on the offensive end in the short term.

But in contrast, Hai Chang, who had used the "bombardment tactics" for more than a whole quarter, did not have sufficient physical reserves.

With the "pants-up defense" to restore a small amount of physical strength, Xiang Yang felt a little overwhelmed, let alone the others in Hai Chang.

"So, you have to look at me at the last minute."

Xiang Yang chuckled, opened the "King of the End", and quietly observed Yang Quan's offensive.

Yangquan, who had seized the right to kick off, still had the right to attack first in the fourth quarter. After a brief communication with Murasakibara, Himuro asked his teammates to pass the ball, and then made a gesture of pulling away from the wing.

There was immediately an opening on the court, and only Himuro and Yuuki stood there, facing off against each other.

"call--"

Himuro breathed a long sigh of relief. He looked at Yuuki in front of him, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

“It’s really not easy for a second-year player to have such a level.”

"Xiang Yang should have trained you as Hai Chang's next ace, right? I heard that you used to play the No. [-] position?"

Yuuki was stunned and responded politely: "Thank you, I did play the No. [-] position before. I don't know what Xiangyang-senpai thinks, but he has always helped me in all aspects."

As he spoke, Yuuki also adjusted his defensive position. He did not relax his vigilance just because he was talking to Himuro, and his actions were also seen by Himuro.

"Really, one or two of the current juniors are as strong as monsters, which is really a headache."

Himuro lowered his center of gravity, glanced at Yuuki's feet, turned around with a feint, and rushed towards Yuuki's front foot. The moment the latter turned around to defend, Himuro suddenly stopped and made an emergency jump shot. , successfully hit the basket.

Yangquan two points are valid
As the referee whistled, Himuro waved to Yuuki with a provocative look on his face.

In fact, Himuro's current state is not very good, but he knows very well that Murasakibara's physical reserves are running low now. In order for the team to achieve the final victory, he must stand up and stick to the situation and let Murasakibara use that precious energy. Save your energy for last.

On the basketball court, provocative actions and trash talk are very useful weapons. They can often stimulate more than 90.00% of the players to get hot-headed, trying to prove themselves to break doubts.

It's a pity... Yuuki happens to be the remaining ten percent.

Going back to Haichang's offensive round, considering that the team's overall physical strength is not sufficient, Xiang Yang gave up the idea of ​​continuing to "bombard" and instead dribbled the ball across the half court routinely, looking for Yangquan's flaws.

He glanced at everyone present and paid special attention to Yuuki. After finding that the latter did not react to Himuro's provocation, he nodded with satisfaction.

"As expected, an obedient ace is good."

Xiang Yang withdrew his gaze and focused on the defender in front of him.A fake shot immediately tricked the defenders. Seeing this scene, Xiang Yang broke through quickly and rushed towards the inside line of Yangquan.

[Something's wrong...this breakthrough was too easy. 】

Xiang Yang calmly rushed to the inside, but his eyes were constantly looking at the surrounding situation. Sure enough, Murasakihara immediately surrounded him, and Chang Zhe, who had just been passed by Xiang Yang with a fake move, also rushed behind Xiang Yang at this moment.

"Sure enough, is it a bait?"

Xiang Yang smiled. Faced with this two-for-one situation, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he actively jumped towards Murasakibara, holding the ball with both hands and reaching forward, as if he was rushing to block Murasakibara's shot.

However, this scene, which was like giving a gift, made Murasakihara's pupils shrink and he quickly restrained his arms. He knew Xiangyang's ability to draw fouls and did not intend to give him this opportunity.

But what Ziyuan didn't expect was that Xiangyang's decision was actually two-way. If Ziyuan defended toughly, then he would use his superb acting skills to cheat fouls, and if Ziyuan took the initiative to avoid, Xiangyang would naturally not follow He is polite.

In the air, Xiangyang, who was holding the ball in both hands, immediately changed his moves, hooked the basketball with one hand, went under Murasakihara's arm, and threw it towards the basket.

The basketball hit the rim, and after several bumps, it finally fell into the bag.

"You can't do it, Murasakibara?"

Xiang Yang raised the corners of his mouth, wagging his finger and provoking Murasakihara.

And obviously, Murasakibara is not one of the [-]% of people who will not be affected by provocation.

I saw veins popping up on his face, and the lightning in his eyes was beating crazily as if he had been stimulated by some kind of stimulus.

"Pass me the ball!"

Murasakibara roared angrily, trying to pass the ball, and at the same time, like a truck, he rushed towards the inside line of Kaidune again.

But this time, in Xiangyang's eyes, Murasakihara's speed and impact had dropped significantly, and there was no longer the unstoppable feeling he had in the third quarter.

【Chance! 】

Xiang Yang's eyes flashed, and he sneaked behind Murasaki Yuan. He glanced at Ohara standing under the basket and felt a little calmer.

As long as Ohara blocks Murasakibara's pace a little like before, he can rush behind Murasakibara and cut the basketball out of his hand.

The situation was developing towards the script in Xiangyang's mind. Murasakihara also held the ball against Ohara, but...

What Xiangyang didn't expect was that Ohara, who had been able to wrestle with Murasakibara for a while, actually appeared to be very fragile at this moment. Facing Murasakibara's impact, Ohara not only failed to hold on, but sat down on the ground and pushed Hai Chang. The home basket was directly exposed in front of Murasakibara.

Seeing this scene, Ziyuan was overjoyed, and without the slightest politeness, he continued to jump on the spot, dunking with both hands and scoring two more points!
As a result, the previous score difference between Hai Chang and Yang Quan was reduced to five points.

"I'm sorry...I couldn't guard him..."

Ohara's voice contained no trace of emotion, but everyone could hear the helplessness and guilt in his words.

Xiang Yang stood there, frowning slightly and looking at Ohara. Beside him, Yuuki was about to step forward and pull Ohara up but was stopped by Xiang Yang.

"Senior Xiangyang?"

Yuuki was a little confused. Before he could ask any questions, he saw Xiang Yang crouching in front of Ohara and said, "Put out your right foot."

Ohara's expression froze, and he changed the topic and said, "I'm sorry Senior Xiangyang, I will definitely guard Ziyuan for the next ball..."

"Put your right foot out."

Xiang Yang directly interrupted Oyuan's words and looked at Oyuan's right leg with empty eyes.

Da Yuan was silent for two seconds, and finally stretched his right foot in front of Xiang Yang.

"When did you get hurt?"

Xiang Yang frowned, and pressed Da Yuan's ankle, as expected, one of them was swollen, and the swelling was not small.

Ohara said honestly: "In the third quarter."

Xiang Yang: "Why didn't you say it just now?"

Ohara was silent. He looked at the expressionless Xiang Yang and moved his lips slightly: "Senior Xiang Yang, I can fight until the end of the game."

"No, you can't."

Xiang Yang shook his head, ignored Ohara's shouts, stood up and walked to the referee.

Sea often applies for suspension
Ohara is injured

Everyone in Haichang was silent, and the expression on Takeuchi's face was very ugly. Everyone knew very well what the price of Ohara's injury was at this juncture.

This will most likely cost them the championship this year.

"Let go of me! Coach! Senior Xiangyang! I can still compete!"

Ohara was still shouting, but he waved to Yang and ordered: "Two people will carry him to the locker room."

Takeuchi also said: "The doctor is in the locker room now, please carry him over."

Takeuchi and Xiang Yang spoke at the same time, and two players from the Kaidune Atmosphere Team immediately stood up and carried Ohara out on their shoulders.

As Ohara's shouts faded away, Haichang's bench was also very quiet for a moment.

Takeuchi took a deep breath, turned to Xiang Yang and asked, "What should we do now?"

Ohara was injured, and Hai Chang's already weak inside strength took it to a new level. The most important thing is that their lead has gradually disappeared under Yang Quan's step by step erosion.

At this critical moment, Xiang Yang actually managed to laugh. He put his arms around Tanaka's neck and whispered: "Now, it's your turn to play."

Tanaka blinked and pointed at himself with his thumb: "Me?"

"Of course it's you, otherwise who else can play center?"

Xiang Yang rubbed the corners of his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Tanaka, have you heard a word?"

"Being entrusted with the defeat of the army, being ordered to be in danger, no matter whether you have thought about this situation before the game or not, now, you are the only candidate."

Talent: Chicken Soup for the Soul has been activated.

Encouraged by Xiang Yang, Tanaka felt a little moved, but he still said unconfidently: "But, my strength... I really can't guard against that big guy."

Tanaka remembered the way Murasakibara rushed towards him with the ball in the first quarter, and couldn't help but shudder.

It just so happened that the timeout ended.

Xiang Yang turned to look at the field, pulled Tanaka up from his seat, and shouted: "Let's go, boys, come and take the championship trophy home!"

"Haichang!"

"champion!!"

Listening to the energetic announcements from his teammates around him, Tanaka followed Xiang Yang with an uneasy expression on his face.

[Can I actually... be on this kind of stage? 】
