Chapter Thirty-Six, King Hainan vs. Xiangyang Four
() Sorry, I have been home for a few days and there is no Internet in my hometown, so please forgive me. I will update four chapters today. Thank you. I will be on time in the future and will ask for leave on time.
"Amu, what do you think of Xiangyang this year?" Hainan's coach Gao Tou asked looking at Kenji Fujima who was explaining to his teammates in the rest area.
"Well, they are very strong, much better than last year." Amu had already put a towel on his body and was wiping his sweat. At the same time, he was also looking at Kenji Fujima. "But, we are stronger."
"Well, I know that." Coach Gao Tou nodded, "I'm asking, with their growing strength, how far do you think they can go in the national competition?"
"It's hard for me to say this, but we will be the final champions. I just need to understand this." Amu lowered his head and enjoyed the rest time, closing his five senses and letting his fighting spirit continue to burn until it reached its highest point.
"Fujima." Hanagata looked at Fujima. Everyone tried their best in the first half of the game. But compared with Amu, Fujima didn't have the upper hand at all.
"Don't worry about me." Fujima's eyes were still shining with confidence. "It seems that if Amu and I want to defeat each other, it won't be so easy."
"Then the second half."
"It's up to you in the second half. I'm mainly responsible for containing Amu and passing the ball to you." Fujima looked at his teammates, his tone full of encouragement and trust. "You are the protagonists in the second half, it's up to you."
"Fujima."
"team leader."
"Don't worry, with me here, we have been waiting for such a long time just for today, right?" Teng Zhen patted their shoulders one by one, "Believe me and believe in yourselves, we will definitely be able to defeat Hainan.
The first place in Kanagawa Prefecture entered the national competition.”
"Yeah." Hana Xingtou and the other team members' eyes burst out with strong confidence.
"There is only six points between the two sides, Xiangyang should be able to catch up easily." Kamikaze looked at Kenji Fujima who was talking there. "However, the ending of the first half will probably be the final ending. Ah.
Mu is firmly ahead of Fujima in terms of strength, and if nothing unexpected happens, this small difference will keep Hainan ahead of Xiangyang."
"Yeah, Teng is really good, but he still can't beat the guy from Hainan. If the two sides continue to fight like this in the second half, Hainan will definitely win."
"That's right." Takamiya and Sakuragi clearly agreed with Yohei's words, making it seem like they understood it to outsiders.
"No, in the second half, the two of them will not continue to fight like this. Neither side has the strength to completely prevent the other from death, which means there are too many variables. The most important thing is physical strength, even for Fujima and Amu.
If the players continue to face off like this, they won’t be able to last for long, and the variables will be even greater.” Kamikaze analyzed the pros and cons of both sides and continued, “So, in the second half, we will return to what we know, normal.
It’s a basketball game.”
"Then according to what you said, wouldn't this happen often in the national competition?"
"No, in fact, the biggest reason for this situation is because of Amu and Fujima. They are destined opponents."
"Destined, opponent." Sakuragi Hanamichi was touched.
"That's right." Kamikaze looked at Sakuragi, "Sakuragi, if you participate in competitions in the future, you will also meet various masters, and you will definitely meet your destined opponent."
"The second half of the game has begun." Mito Yohei reminded Kamikaze Doichi and Sakuragi Hanamichi who were still talking.
Sure enough, at this time, the players from Wang Hainan and Xiangyang had already set foot on the playing field again. Although the audience outside the field had gone through the fierce competition in the first half, they had all recovered slightly after the intermission.
God. All the spectators turned their attention back to the field and the two teams on the field.
On the jump ball at the beginning of the second half, Hainan's Takasago overpowered Hanagata and won the ball, gaining the right to attack first. Hainan's Amu took the ball directly across the half court, and it was still Fujima Kenji who defended him. Although both sides had guessed the opponent.
The focus of the attack should not be on the opponent, but that does not mean that the opponent will not attack. On the contrary, as people of the level of Fujima and Amu, the focus of defense is at all times.
"Amu, come on." Fujima said while defending. However, Amu had no intention of entangled. An accelerated breakthrough drove Fujima up, exposed the space, and passed the ball directly to Ah Shen on the outside. But Fujima
A defensive strategy has been arranged in the midfield. After Ah Shen caught the ball, Xiangyang's players followed up and defended him. Ah Shen had a chance to shoot when he caught the ball, but he was only in the first grade at this time and was practicing.
The three-pointer was less than three months old. Although the three-pointer is a killer, it is not particularly effective. So Ah Shen did not take a hasty shot, but passed the ball back to Amu. At this time, Amu had already thrown Fujima away by relying on the pick and roll.
He took two steps. After receiving the ball, Amu rushed directly to the basket, and Hanaxing would not let Amu run rampant on his own court.
"Don't even think about it." Hanagata gave up on Takasago's defense and took a step forward to stand on the line of Amu's breakthrough layup. However, Amu jumped up and did not shoot, but smiled at Hanagata who also jumped up. Hanagata's eyes were filled with laughter.
There was a flash of shock, because there was no basketball in Amu's hands at this time.
"boom."
There was a huge vibration behind him. The fallen Hanagata Toru turned around and looked at the basket behind him and Takasago who had just landed. "Damn it."
"It's okay, Hanagata, you've done a great job." Fujima came over and patted Hanagata's junior, "It's my fault, I didn't follow Amu."
"Fujima."
"Listen, everyone, what we face is also what they face." Kenji Fujima looked at his teammates and said loudly, "As long as you believe in yourself, we can do it. Please also believe in me, I can do it too.
Let’s recover the lost points.” Fujima said solemnly, “You believe in us.”
"Of course." Hanaxing and his teammates replied loudly, "Captain, of course we believe you."
"Then what are you waiting for? Come on." Teng Zhen said happily.
The match between King Hainan and Xiangyang was unimaginably fierce. All the spectators were shocked by the fierce offense and defense of both sides. Amu and Fujima gave full play to their offensive abilities in the first half, and now it is a matter of offense and defense.
The combination of passing. The two people always seize any opportunity to shoot the ball into the opponent's basket, or pass the ball to where it should go.
In the first 18 minutes of the second half, the two teams always scored one goal for you and another for me. If you defended one of mine, I would definitely defend one of yours. It was not until the last two minutes of the second half that Fujima called a timeout.
Because they are four points behind (Xiangyang team leads Hainan by three points).
"Fujima." The teammates all looked at their captain, hoping that Fujima could come up with a feasible plan at this time. But after all, Fujima is only a sophomore in high school, especially in such a backward situation. If
If it were just Fujima, he would be afraid at all if he lost to Amu. But the burden on him is really too heavy, which makes him worry more when thinking about the problem.
At this time, Fujima's lack of leadership was reflected. In Fujima's heart, the entire Xiangyang team did not lose to Hainan. However, the reason why they are lagging behind now is mainly due to his own reasons, so Fujima felt a little guilty at this time.
.
"Captain, what should we do." Hanagata Toru also noticed that Fujima was panicking. Although he was more panicked than Fujima, he knew that no matter what he did, if Fujima couldn't calm down, Xiangyang would be doomed.
.
"Hanagata." Fujima looked at his team members around him and forced himself to calm down. But his brain was blank at this time and he couldn't come up with any ideas. But, as luck would have it, Fujima glanced over by chance and saw
That Hainan No. 4.
"Amu." Fujima's eyes became firm, he couldn't panic, he would definitely defeat Amu. "Amu is the key point, now we can only take some special measures."
"Restrict Amu, Hanagata, Nagano, and Takano (because they have specific names, so the third-year players are no longer involved at this time, please forgive me). The three of you double-team Amu to prevent them from attacking and scoring. Hasegawa,
You limit Ah Shen on the outside, and leave the other three to me."
"If we can limit their scoring, we have hope of winning." Fujima clenched his right fist and raised it in front of him, and said excitedly.
"Okay." Hanagata and the others have long been accustomed to obeying Taifujima's orders, and it is naturally the same now. Moreover, I am afraid that this plan is the only and best solution at this time.
