The players from both sides stood in opposite positions on the court. When the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air, the game started.

The people on both sides making the jump ball were Takeda and his seniors from the basketball club. In this short contest, Takeda defeated the opponent and hit the ball to his own area, where the squad leader happened to catch the ball.

This means that in the first and fourth quarters, Shang Zegong and the others have the initiative to attack.

The game adopts the rules of the International Basketball Association. A basketball game is composed of 4 quarters, each quarter is 10 minutes, and a game has a total of 40 minutes. There is a 15-minute break between the first and second halves, and a 2-minute break between quarters.

The game time for time games is 5 minutes.

"Well done!" the monitor praised.

After all, we were competing against seniors. If we couldn't get the upper hand during the jump ball, it would be a huge psychological burden. Fortunately, Takeda got the ball.

The game started. The monitor who got the ball decisively passed the ball to the center next to him when the opponent's forward rushed over. The center also successfully passed the ball to Takeda, a small forward, after a feint.

In the previous two games, they relied on Takeda's flexible skills to score layups, and they had the same plan in this game.

First of all, the person standing in front of Takeda is the opponent's center, Murao.

Seeing this yellow man smiling evilly at him and opening his hands to stop him, Takeda took a deep breath and made a very calm fake move from his right side, entering the three-point line under the cover of his own forward.

Although the opponent's two defenders also wanted to stop Takeda, their own level was only at the level of an amateur and they couldn't stop Takeda at all. They successfully made a layup in three steps and scored two points.

Although it was only two points, it ignited a flame of confidence in Takeda's heart.

You can win! You can definitely win here!

After Takeda's confidence greatly increased, he played more and more courageously in the first quarter and scored consecutive goals. Before the short break, he had already reached 15:5.

The boy who was the center put his arm on Takeda's shoulders and said excitedly: "Takeda, you are too strong. If we keep this momentum, we are very likely to win!"

Takeda also smiled: "Thanks to your cooperation, otherwise I wouldn't have a chance to win the ball."

While Takeda and the others were discussing, the other side was also discussing.

They fell behind by 10 points in the first quarter, but Murao didn't take it seriously. Instead, he laughed and said, "Hey, Sugimoto, have you discovered that your skills are not as good as those of your younger brother?"

"It's long-winded, you don't need to say it!" Sugimoto, a senior in Takeda's basketball club, said solemnly, "Let's play another quarter and wait until halftime!"

"Okay, do as you say." Murao laughed and said nonchalantly, as if winning or losing was not important to him at all.

In the next quarter, it was the sophomore class who got the upper hand. From the beginning, Sugimoto started a fierce charge. This fast and high-intensity attack caught the squad leader, who was the point guard, a little off guard, and he was thrown into the ground several times in a row.

Second blue.

However, Sugimoto's advantage was only at the beginning. Soon, Takeda's timely command and dispatch stabilized Nagagami's situation, gradually regained the initiative, and scored consecutively.

At halftime, the score had reached 33:17, nearly doubling the gap.

Murao walked to Sugimoto's side, took a leisurely sip of water, and laughed and said: "Sugimoto, do you still want to find a way to show yourself? The gap between the two of you is really quite big."

Sugimoto's face was gloomy and uncertain at this time.

At first, he thought that the gap between him and Takeda was not big. He was just lucky enough to win one round against him. However, in this team competition, he found that compared with those who had commanding ability and flexibly commanded others,

Takeda's own skills became weak, and he even broke the ball once in front of the coach...

These four people didn’t try their best at all!

Sugimoto glared at Murao fiercely. Everyone on this team was recruited by Murao. Except for him and the power forward, everyone else was following Murao's instructions. Except for their intentions at the beginning, they didn't do anything in the end.

He started to become lazy, as if he was playing a role, just symbolically stopping Takeda and letting him go for a layup.

If they could use some snacks, the score wouldn't be like this!

Fortunately, the opponent also has a shooting guard who is good at fishing. Otherwise, I might lose miserably.

"Hey, Sugimoto, have you thought about it carefully? This is our last chance." Murao said leisurely, "If you don't make up your mind, you will have no chance to play basketball again."

This sentence touched Sugimoto's heart, and he growled: "Stop talking, just do as you say!"

He made up his mind. Since he couldn't defeat Takeda, he would rely on the strength of others!

"Come on, keep this rhythm, we can win!" Takeda encouraged his teammates during the halftime break.

Takeda now has a confident smile on his face. He doesn't know why. He obviously felt that they were a strong rival when watching their sophomore game. But in this game, except for his basketball senior Sugimoto, the others

Everyone has varying degrees of lacrosse.

Especially Murao, I originally thought he was a difficult guy to deal with, but he didn't expect that he didn't do much at all in this game, which made him feel lucky but also a little disappointed.

Since you want to compete with yourself for your girlfriend, then be more forceful. Is this blatant act of letting off steam just to show your enemy's weakness and wait until the last moment to kill you?

Takeda shook his head and dismissed his thoughts. In any case, there are still two quarters left, and this lead must be maintained until victory.

"Speaking of which, our ball has always been passed to Takeda-san, but Uesawa-san never got the ball." The boy who was the power forward suddenly said.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere instantly became a little awkward. The squad leader is the point guard, he is in charge of the rhythm of the game, and he is also the person who gets the ball the most. A large part of the reason why Uesawa Miya didn't get the ball is because

He passed the ball to others, especially Takeda.

The squad leader was a little embarrassed and had to say: "After all, we haven't run in with Uezawa before. Because we don't know his technical level, it's not easy for me to pass the ball to him..."

For the squad leader, he would rather hand the ball to Takeda, who is not very good in position, than to hand the ball to Uesawa Miya, who does not know the depth of the ball.

Takeda lowered his head to Uesawa Palace and said seriously: "I'm sorry, Uesawa-kun, this game is very important to me. I will definitely apologize after the game is over..."

"I don't care." Uesawa Palace replied calmly, "As long as I can win."

Although Uesawamiya was a little angry at first and felt like he was being squeezed out, thinking about Takeda's dedication to the outcome of this game, he didn't care so much anymore.

After all, it is much better to hold hope in one's own hands than to rely on others, not to mention that this matter is related to Takeda's girlfriend, and it is understandable that he wants her to see his heroic fighting spirit.
