The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master.

Chapter 110 The poor mountain king of Guizhou
How could he not be tired?How could he not be tired? !
Goro Domoto looked at Lin Dong, whose face was slightly flushed but didn't even take a breath, with eyes full of disbelief.

They had studied the game from start to finish when the opponent played NBA rookies on the streets of Yokohama many times.

Technically, there is really nothing to criticize about Lin Dong. The only thing that can be targeted is his physical fitness!

When he was a rookie, he played the first half, but when the second half began and the offense was handed over to him alone, the physical consumption was almost visible to the naked eye, and he only lasted about seven or eight minutes of confrontation. There was fatigue.

Of course, Kawada Masashi's strength cannot be compared with that of NBA rookies, but in the battle, they are trying their best to consume him on both offense and defense. It stands to reason that he can only maintain the output for half a game at most, which is already the limit.

But now that half-time has passed, the opponent still feels at ease!
instead……

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

At this time, several Sanno players who came to Goro Domoto began to breathe to varying degrees.

"The people from Xiangyang...are so good at running." Fukatsu Kazunari looked at his coach, his face no longer had the full confidence he had at the beginning of the game.

And Kazunari Fukatsu was obviously not the only one who felt this way.

Eiji Sawabita, who was guarding Hanakato Toru, Masashi Kawada who was holding up Lin Dong under the basket, and even Satoshi Ichinokura, who was guarding Fujima, the king of endurance who is known as the best runner and most perseverant in Sanno, all showed their performance at this time. I am much more exhausted than I thought.

Goro Domoto suddenly woke up and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiangyang's bench.

During the entire half of the game just now, all his attention was on Lin Dong, but he ignored the other people in Xiangyang. This was probably the normal sight of the audience in all arenas. After all, Lin Dong was always on both sides of the ball. Doing things.

but……

Only then did Goro Domoto recall that on the field just now, although the other members of Xiangyang did not participate in too many attacks, they had been running and pulling.

With his outstanding personal ability, Sanwang seemed to have truly blocked them on the defensive end, but...

The players in the wheel battle had to pay a greater physical cost when defending Lin Dongshi alone. When switching defenses, they faced Xiangyang's desperate movement, but they did not get enough rest. After all, according to the tactics, Sanno could not let go of Xiangyang. Yang points from any of the other four people.

As a result, they became more and more tired, so much so that the Mountain King's physical strength reached the critical point first, so that their pressure when defending Lin Dong was no longer enough!

This is the reason why Lin Dong is not consumed enough.

Lin Dong brought Xiangyang back to life, and Xiangyang nourished Lin Dong in return!
the second half...

"Ichinokura, you should take a rest in the second half." Goro Domoto shouted in a deep voice: "Mikio!"

A 210cm tall man hurriedly stepped forward. His chubby figure made him look a whole lot bigger than any other player. Even Masashi Kawada looked like a younger brother in front of him!
"Here, coach!"

Since even Kawada Masashi's tonnage is not enough, then change to one with a larger tonnage!
A hint of gambling flashed in Domoto Goro's eyes.

Kawada Mikio has many problems. After all, he is a novice, but...

"You go in for the second half! Remember, you don't have to score, you don't have to cover other people, just squeeze the opponent's No. 13 behind you and out of the basket. Be careful not to foul! You only have to do this one thing, understand. Yet?"

Ogawada actually has the ability to score inside, but if the opponent is Lin Dong... Goro Domoto thinks it is better to stop him from scoring directly.

Just consume Lin Dong and squeeze him out of the inside line!
"Ming, understand!" Mikio Kawada quickly replied.

How to push the opponent out without fouling is also a skill. Fortunately, when coach Domoto took everyone to watch Lin Dong's video before, he specifically taught him...

"Isn't he going to guard the basket? Then fight with them in the paint!"

"Matsumoto, just shoot from the outside, and let Fukatsu help you with pick-and-roll mismatches! If Zebei and Lin Dong are stuck, then go to the basket to cause damage and knock down one or two of their insides!"

"Yes!"

Finally, Goro Domoto looked at the team he had led by himself: "Xiangyang is very good at running. I don't know how hard they have gone through training, but compared to hard work, no one works harder than our Sanno!"

"What determines the outcome of a game is not necessarily ability, but a battle of will and endurance!"

"Our tactics are fine. The second half is the time to work hard. No matter how tired you are, remember, Xiangyang is also tired!"

"If they want to run, run with them! As long as we get the advantage inside, as long as we wear down their physical strength first, we can recover all the points lost!"

"The mountain king must win!"

………………

The scene was buzzing, and the huge score of 45:69 on the electronic scoreboard was like the most dazzling number, making many Sanwang fans feel a little unconfident at this moment.

But the voice of the commentary continued, and the rhythmic person on the scene also kept encouraging.

"Shoyo's No. 13 is indeed a god-like existence among high school students. Previously, he got everything he wanted in the prefectural competition. Most people may still question the level and intensity of the Kanagawa Prefecture competition, but now it seems that it is really not the problem of other teams. Ah." Takeuchi Hanato said with emotion into the microphone: "No wonder Hainan, which was defeated miserably at the hands of Xiangyang, was able to be a dark horse all the way to the finals... It's not that Hainan is weak, but that Xiangyang is too strong, and that No. 13 is too strong !”

"However, Sanno Industrial is not an ordinary high school team after all. I heard that they have won a victory against the Japanese national team before. We still believe that Sanno is capable of fighting back!"

"Yes, although Xiangyang's No. 13 was like a god in the entire first half, the team scored 69, and his individual score was a full 47, and he also contributed 12 rebounds and 5 steals. Such a great performance on both offense and defense. A huge investment, and his physical strength will also be a major problem in the second half. If Xiangyang cannot solve this, and if the rest of Xiangyang still cannot break the deadlock, then when No. 13 can't run or slows down, it will be the Sanwang counterattack It’s time…”

With the commentary's warm-up, the atmosphere at the scene never cooled down, and various analyses, the Sanno supporters did not lose confidence.

So when the short intermission ended and the players from both sides returned to the court, led by someone, the shouts of cheering for the Mountain King became even more deafening.

"These people are 24 points behind us, and yet they are so enthusiastic..." Yua Ishihara muttered in a low voice. Xiang Yang obviously played so well and Lin Dongjun played so handsomely, but why couldn't he hear a few cheers? ?I'm really not used to it...

"Hehehehe!" Coach Anxi laughed.

If it were before the start of the game, facing this scene, he might still be worried about Xiangyang. After all, judging from the first half data alone, Lin Dong alone accounted for more than two-thirds of the team's scoring in the first half. , this is not a normal signal, proving that others in Xiangyang still haven't played.

But when he recalled what Lin Dong said during the timeout, coach Anxi knew that his worries were unnecessary from the beginning.

Not only was this child physically stronger than he imagined, but more importantly, he also understood people's hearts better than he imagined.

Both Fujima and Hanagata have jumped out of the position he set for them before the game, and are willing to be unknown green leaves under the leadership of Lin Dong...

This not only means that they have also contributed, but also means that they have completely lost their psychological baggage.

With their strength, they will definitely be able to give the Mountain King a severe blow when needed!
Shhh!
The referee blew the whistle for the second half.

The 210cm, 130kg Mikio Kawada also appeared in everyone's sight, causing an uproar in the arena.

In the high school competition field, a tonnage of 210 centimeters and 130KG means more than just an advantage, but also visible 'bullying'.

Masashi Kawada is already considered a big guy on the field, but standing next to Mikio Kawada, the difference in body size is as obvious as that between a junior high school student and a college student, so much so that when he runs, even the wooden floor of the field is slightly swaying. The feeling of vibration...

"Sanno has finally changed his formation! He replaced the defensive master Satoshi Ichinokura and replaced him with Mikio Kawada, who was previously known as a strong contender for this year's best center! With a weight of 130KG, he has been in the national competition since his debut. There is no opponent, no center can compete with him for the position under the basket! The Mountain King is going to fight for victory in the paint..."

The passionate voice of the commentator continued to ignite the audience, and also ignited the hearts of the audience who still had full confidence in Sanwang.

"The Mountain King! The Mountain King! The Mountain King!"

But Lin Dong looked at Mikio Kawada who came on stage with a timid look and smiled.

Want to grab the inside line, want to use greater tonnage of melee combat to consume your own energy?Huh...it seems like these guys have hit a dead end.

Mountain King's possession of the ball.

No. 13, No. 13, No. 13...

Mikio Kawada had already set his sights on Lin Dong as soon as he came on the field. He ran in front of Lin Dong and immediately spread his hands to block him.

At this moment, he immediately felt the strength confrontation from the guy behind him.

He was very energetic and his center of gravity was very low. With his strength, this was the first time he pressed against the opponent and he didn't move at all.

Mikio Kawada felt a bit of pressure. No wonder his brother was so tired. This man had so much strength.

He practiced basketball too late and is far from as good as his brother. But there is one thing he is better than his brother, and that is obedience.

If the coach tells him to do something, he will do it. If he is not told to do something, he will never even look in that direction.

Both sides are still in the penalty area, so they must push each other out!

At this time, Fukatsu Kazunari in front had already entered the penalty area, attracting the defense of Takano Shoichi and passing the ball to Kawada Masashi, who was also in the inside position.

Toru Hanagata raised his hands to intercept, but Masashi Kawada didn't care. Instead, he glanced at Mikio Kawada in the penalty area.

Kawada Mikio understood that this was his brother's signal to him to squeeze the opponent out. As long as No. 13 is not in the penalty area, no one can stop his brother's attack!

Kawada Masashi suddenly broke through.

Mikio Kawada, on the other hand, carefully felt the resistance coming from behind, and focused all his energy on the No. 13 behind him who was holding him up.

Mikio, your weight is your greatest strength!If there is a person who cannot be squeezed or a defense that cannot be overcome, then use your weight and your body to press him!

Coach Goro Domoto's words were still in his ears. Mikio Kawada only slightly adjusted his center of gravity, and his entire upper body suddenly leaned back.

With a weight of nearly 300 kilograms and his strength, even his brother would be pushed away by him!
But the next second, he felt that there was nothing behind him. The center of gravity that he suddenly leaned back completely lost its target. His feet staggered and his whole body fell backwards.

As far as he could see, Xiangyang's No. 13 had already bypassed him and was heading towards Kawada Masashi who had just jumped up.

Snapped!
An overwhelming hot pot caught Kawada Masashi off guard, who thought he could drink a glass of wine to boost his morale.

It was obvious that he only attacked after seeing his younger brother resisting the opponent just now.

Boom!

Kawada Mikio fell to the ground, and the camera next to the basketball stand was shaken by his shock. At the same time, Xiangyang's counterattack horn had already sounded.

Fujima picked up the ball that flew away and launched a fast break. Although Sanno had retreated very quickly, after all, he was missing two people, Okawada, and it was a partial three-on-four situation.

Hanagata's jump started up with Eiji Sawabita who was guarding him, and he made a mid-range jumper. However, Takano Shoichi, who had no offensive contribution in the first half, used his height advantage to grab the rebound and successfully dunked.

45: 71.

Kawada Masashi pulled up his younger brother from the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Mikio Kawada quickly apologized as if he realized his mistake just now.

"..." Kawada Masashi took a deep breath and patted his back: "Don't worry, just concentrate!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Dong actually smiled and said to Mikio Kawada at this time: "Come on."

"Okay, thank you." Kawada Mikio responded quickly.Masashi Kawada suddenly felt a toothache.

He was convinced by Mikio's tonnage, but the problem was... this guy was too honest.

The coach asked him to come to the basket to deal with Lin Dong. Is it really useful?
"Don't talk to the enemy." He had to remind Lin Dong that he was very clever at first glance. If the two of them started talking, Kawada Masashi felt that his younger brother would be sold directly by the other party.

Then he nodded like a green onion: "I'm sorry, brother."

"Don't say sorry either!"

"Okay, brother, let's compare." Kawada Mikio was already starting to panic.

"..." Kawada Masashi finally closed his mouth.

Lin Dong laughed out loud. He preferred this simple guy to the arrogant Kawada Masashi.

So when Mikio Kawada came forward again, Lin Dong did not choose to withdraw his stool. Although with his control of the center of gravity and opportunities, it was easy to make the opponent fall again.

But you don’t play tricks on honest people like this.

And more importantly, this guy is indeed very powerful. After all, he consumed a lot of energy in the first half. If he really chooses to fight with him under the basket, he will probably be exhausted.

Before Mikio Kawada could get closer, Lin Dong took the initiative to leave the penalty area under the basket. He did not choose to fight him at all, but moved behind Masashi Kawada, and was in a place between the three-second zone and the penalty area. position.

This position made Kawada Mikio very uncomfortable.

ignore him?That person is also considered to be on the inside, just one or two steps away from him. The coach asked him to come up to confront Lin Dong, not just to stand under the basket. If he can't consume the opponent, then his presence on the court is meaningless.

He still subconsciously pushed forward, and it happened that Minoru Matsumoto made a three-pointer against Fujima from the outside.

Fujima's defense is impeccable, and interfering with the pitcher's rhythm is what he is best at. Matsumoto Minoru's touch is no longer as hot as it was at the beginning, and the basketball hits the iron.

But it was only when he was about to grab a rebound that Mikio Kawada realized what a mistake he had made by taking a long step outside.

Lin Dong only turned his back and had already circled in front of him. With his lowered center of gravity, Mikio Kawada suddenly realized what it is to say that it is easy to come out and difficult to enter. After all, his skills at the basket were all taught by Domoto. I hit him from behind, but now I'm standing behind someone, and it's really hard to push him up.

What's even more embarrassing is that the tonnage is too large and the body area is too wide. When Lin Dong pushed him outside the edge of the three-second zone, he was like an elephant, occupying a large area.

He didn't block Lin Dong in front, but blocked Masashi Kawada who was rushing behind to grab a rebound.

When the two brothers almost collided, Lin Dong had already easily picked up a rebound.

Turn around and it's a dragon's fast break.

45: 73.

The score continues to open, which is already close to 30 points.

Sawabita Eiji gasped, looking at the score on the electronic scoreboard, then at Mikio, who had high hopes from the coach but was apologizing to senior Masashi Kawada under the basket, and at the sidelines who were already a little confused. Coach Goro Domoto.

Lost?Lost so easily?

Do not!
In Sanno's possession, Kazunari Fukatsu had just passed half the ball when he saw Eiji Sawabita rushing forward to demand it.

Seeing the look in the opponent's eyes, Kazunari Fukatsu knew it and made a pick-and-roll while passing the ball.

Zebita Eiji jumped directly on the spot and took a three-point shot that he was not the best at.

He didn't bother to care about what was going on under the basket. The King of Mountains needed to chase points now!Otherwise, before Mikio Kawada can consume Lin Dong, the mountain king will be killed first!
Swish!
The ball goes in.

48: 73.

But looking back, Xiangyang continued to follow the same pattern...

Xiangyang's scoring ability on the offensive end has indeed begun to decline.

With an advantage of nearly 30 points, Lin Dong no longer chose to force singles, but played slowly and steadily, leaving the anxiety to Sanno and leaving more offensive opportunities to Fujima and Hanagata.

He knew very well that first of all, after most of the hand-to-hand fighting under the basket, he was used as a small forward as a center, which really consumed a lot of physical energy. He had to take it easy to prevent the Sanwang from counterattacking.

Secondly, if you really want to defeat the Mountain King's will in advance, it will be useless even if you score another 20 points. The opponent will forget the time and fight with him to the last second.

But if Fujima and Hanagata can open it...

After twenty minutes of non-ball confrontation, it was obvious that Fujima and Hanagata were approaching the critical point of physical strength.

Fujima was breathing heavily. In the first half, he was closely followed by Satoshi Ichinokura on the offensive end, but he had to go all out to pester Matsumoto Minoru on the defensive end. If he hadn't done what he did with Lin Dong, He could no longer hold on to the physical training.

Frankly speaking, he knew that as long as he and Hanagata could stand up and score at this time, he could defeat the illusion and fighting spirit that Sanno still had in advance, and avoid long nights and dreams. However, under extreme fatigue, the mistakes and exhaustion of the previous strikes , but he still couldn't find his best condition, and he was just holding on with one breath.

At this time, he quickly stepped down with the ball, facing Kazunari Fukatsu who was coming forward and letting go.
Get one in!Just enter one!
Fujima suddenly jumped up, and Fukatsu Kazunari also jumped at the same time.

——Super-class organizational skills, broad vision, impeccable stick defense, excellent psychological quality, and extremely offensive scoring methods.

Basketball Weekly’s evaluation of the opponent, that face that has been seen countless times in newspapers and magazines...

The basketball that was about to be taken was taken back by Fujima subconsciously and thrown to Lin Dong who was following from behind, but Fujima himself bumped into Kazunari Fukatsu uncontrollably.

Shhh!
"Green No. 4, collision foul, exchange of ball rights!"

Seeing that it was Lin Dong who was holding the ball at this time, the Shanwang people suddenly felt as if they had escaped. However, only then did they realize that the two people who were knocked to the ground seemed to be unable to get up.

It's really too tiring... In the first half, the full-court man-to-man marking started after two or three minutes in the first quarter, which was a huge drain on both sides' physical strength. Not everyone is a physical monster like Lin Dong... …

Fukatsu Kazunari reluctantly stood up under the pull of Matsumoto Minoru, but Fujima was lying on the ground, ignoring Hanagata who came to pull him, but panting heavily without raising his head.

The other party was actually at the end of his strength, but he still failed to overcome the psychological barrier. Facing Fukatsu Kazunari, he did not dare to take action.

He clenched his fists in frustration, but at this moment...

"Fujima!"

In the noisy scene, he seemed to hear a familiar voice.

Shhh!
At this time, the referee was already urging him to stand up quickly.

Lin Dong and Toru Hanagata pulled him up one by one, but saw Fujima looking towards the left side of the stand with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Then, he saw a middle-aged woman holding a plastic photo frame at the front of the stands.

The photo frame looked dark, like something burned out, but Nakamei Nishiko held her tightly.

Actually...she doesn't hate basketball, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen in love with the basketball captain in the first place.

She is just afraid of seeing basketball, because it will always remind her of something sad and desperate, and she is even more afraid that her son will encounter the same thing as his father on the court... After all, who can say for sure about fate? ?
She had no intention of coming.

But there were overwhelming reports on NHK, especially during the interview with the Shoyo team. I saw that all the other team members were accompanied by their family members and smiling like spring, but only Fujima stood alone in front of the camera, looking serious like an adult. While answering various questions from reporters, there was no smile on his face.

She couldn't help it after all.

Fear of the pitch?Sad memories?

So what if there are those things?At that moment, she just wanted to overcome everything and be with her son.

Then she booked the fastest high-speed train this morning, asked students in Hiroshima to help her buy the most expensive scalper ticket for the semi-finals, then held the photo frame and used her thin body to force her way through the crowd. Come to the arena...

She watched the whole game with fear. Every physical collision between Fujima and her opponent would make her so nervous that she couldn't help but tremble, fearing that the next moment she would see her son fall to the ground like her husband back then.

Until she saw Fujima falling to the ground but not getting up, the fear at that moment finally made her cry out uncontrollably.

But when she shouted, she saw Teng Zhen standing up, and also saw Teng Zhen's confused eyes looking in her direction.

While Nakami Nishiko was slightly relieved, he also felt a little suffocated.

I don't know what attitude I should use to face my son.

Say come on?Will his son really start playing basketball from now on, and will he continue to be frightened like this every day?
But what can you say about anything else?

There were so many thoughts at this moment, and many complicated pictures flashed through her mind.

There was the heroic figure of her husband that captured her attention when he was on the court, the back of her husband limping on crutches, the fire, and the various quarrels with her son...

Until these thoughts were fixed in the scene of the ball game just now.

This was the first time since her child's father died that she had watched Fujima play a game in its entirety.

Her son ran desperately on the field, worked hard, and concentrated with all his strength at that moment, just like the feeling when her husband stole her heart, it suddenly hit the heart of Nakamei Xizi, making her burst into tears. .

At this moment, the fear of the court disappeared, and those bad memories seemed to be purified. The only thing left in Nakamei Xizi's eyes was his stunned son on the court.

She no longer avoided Teng Zhen's gaze, but waved the photo frame in her hand vigorously in Teng Zhen's direction: "You have to work hard! Like dad!"

dong dong!

Teng Zhen was stunned when he heard it, and his heart suddenly beat twice at this moment.

"When did Auntie come?" Hanagata Toru was dumbfounded. He knew Fujima's mother and had visited Osaka once. He also knew about Nakamei Nishiko's dislike of basketball. He really didn't expect...

He turned to look at Teng Zhen, only to see Teng Zhen wipe his eyes fiercely.

A big hand pressed on Tengzhen's head, and Lin Dong's laughter also sounded next to Tengzhen: "Let's watch a wonderful game for Auntie."

Fujima nodded vigorously while covering his eyes with his arm.

And when the wiping arm was taken away, his eyes no longer had the guilt and confusion for losing the ball just now.

"Let's start!" he said coldly.

　I was originally supposed to post it at 12 o'clock, but as I started writing it, I found that it was too long and I haven't finished it yet.

　　Fujima’s line has been laid out, but it still needs to be written.The next chapter will end the battle of the Mountain King. It will be posted at 12 noon. There will be two updates today.
