Chapter 33: The Opening Battle

At half past one in the afternoon, the basketball center in Tokyo was already crowded at this time, because at 2 o'clock, the first opening game will be played here: the group stage of women's basketball China vs Japan.

Since it is a local battle, and it is the two strongest teams, and the Japanese women's basketball team is more famous than the men's basketball team, a lot of people have come one after another since noon, most of them are elementary and middle school students, and coaches from many schools in Tokyo have also come to this venue.

Cui Maixiang organized all the men's basketball players to come to the scene to cheer for the women's basketball team, and many players from other countries also came to the scene.

At this time, the players of both sides were warming up on the field, although as the third substitute, He Yitong also felt the great pressure of the whole game, and it was the first time she stood in a foreign game.

"Looks like they're going to have a hard time now. At this time, Cui Maixiang, who was sitting in the stands, looked at the athletes who were warming up off the field and said.

"Huh, what do you mean?" asked Yang Yujia, who was sitting next to Cui Maixiang.

"Yu Jia, look at the No. 10 ...... of the Japanese team" Cui Maixiang pointed to Du Jia Lei Meng and said, although she is just doing some simple training, but you see her pace with the ball, just like a boy, as well as her shooting accuracy, from the beginning of the warm-up to now she has not missed a basket, this person will definitely threaten the inside line of the Chinese team. Cui Maixiang said.

"When you say that, it's true, that girl's ball sense is not at all different from other players. Yang Yujia said.

"There's another person, you look at the No. 7 again, her movements are clean and neat, and there is no 'buffer' ...... for girls to dribble," Choi Mai Xiang said pointing at Maki Oda.

"What do you mean by buffer ......?" Yang Yujia asked.

"If you look carefully at the dribbling of boys and girls, and overlap the shadows of boys' dribbling and girls' dribbling, you will find that the rhythm of girls' dribbling is half a beat slower than that of boys, sometimes two beats, although girls feel better than boys, but dribbling, speed and explosiveness are much worse. Cui Maixiang said.

"You mean to say that No. 7 dribbles like a boy?" Yang Yujia said in surprise.

Cui Maixiang nodded and said, "It's just dribbling, I don't know how fast her speed is, if the speed is faster, coupled with the soft feel, maybe it will throw us to pieces." ”

"It can't be that exaggerated, right?" asked Yang Yujia.

"I don't know, I won't know until the fight starts, but I've already given Wu Tang a secret weapon, if Wu Tang knows how to use this weapon, there should be no problem. Cui Maixiang said with a smile.

"Secret weapon, what secret weapon?" Yang Yujia asked curiously.

"Don't say it, don't say it, it's not interesting to say it. Cui Maixiang said.

"Eh, when will you be able to change your problem of selling guanzi?" Yang Yujia said as she looked at Cui Maixiang speechlessly.

"Senior brother, that prospective girlfriend of yours is going to match up with Yitong, how about we see who is more skilled?" Yang Zifeng said to Xu Ning with a smile.

"You guy, there are traps in every word you say, you think I can't hear it, I have nothing to do with that defender, you hear it clearly. Xu Ning looked at Yang Zifeng speechlessly and said.

"Don't be so rigid, brother, the opportunity to fall in love with a foreigner is not very common, you have to cherish it. Yang Zifeng said.

"At this time, we are going to play against the Japanese team, and the whole stadium is waiting to despise us, and then you ask me to fall in love with the Japanese people off the field, you really have an idea. Xu Ning said sarcastically.

"Hehe, I just want you to analyze which one is more advantageous, Yitong or the defender named Maki Oda. Yang Zifeng said with a smile.

"One is the absolute main force, and the other is the third substitute, do you still need to analyze?" Xu Ning said.

"Well, when I didn't ask. Yang Zifeng said helplessly.

At this time, the players on both sides began to shake hands.

On the screen above the center of the field, the starting line-ups of both sides were played:

Team Japan: PG: No. 7 Maki Oda.

Chinese team: PG: No. 28 Xu Li, C: No. 10: Zhuang Yan.

"He actually changed Xu Li to a point guard, she used to be a point guard, what is this going to do, win by height, Wu Tang, you don't play this trick well......" Cui Maixiang thought to herself as she looked at the starting lineup on the screen.

With three minutes to go, the managers of both sides called their players to the bench for tactical reprimands.

"Remember, take advantage of our height, reach out to cover the sky over Japan, and let them have the threat of being covered every time they throw a ball!" Wu Tang said loudly to the five starters at this time.

"Yes!" Zhuang Yan shouted.

"Don't be intimidated by the height of the Chinese team, although they have height, don't forget, we have speed, we have breakthroughs, we have the ball, we are better than the Chinese team, so this game, we must win, pay attention, no matter what the situation, we must maintain a high fighting spirit and never let up the spirit!" Inoue Koichi shouted to all the Japanese women's basketball players.

"Yes!" shouted the women's basketball players.

"Toot!" The whistle sounded at the start of the game, and the referee began to urge the starting players of both sides to come on.

"Wow, I'm so nervous, although I'm just a substitute, how do I feel more nervous than the main force......" He Yitong said with a little trembling feet.

At this time, the players on both sides were already in position, Zhuang Yan and Du Jia Lei Meng stood on both sides of the center line, and the referee walked to the center of the court with the ball.

The audience began to cheer, and at this time, the referee looked left and right at Du Jia Lei Meng and Zhuang Yan, and then threw the ball into the air, and the 15th Asian High School Basketball League officially began!

Zhuang Yan was the first to touch the ball, and the ball flew into Xu Li's hand, and Xu Li walked to the front court with the ball in a hurry.

At this moment, Oda Maki suddenly reached out to break the ball like lightning, and before Xu Li could react, he was directly cut off by Oda Maki!

There were huge cheers in an instant, after Oda Maki broke the ball, he rushed directly to the backcourt of the Chinese team, Xu Li wanted to catch up with her, but his position was thrown off by Oda Maki.

"Bang...... "Maki Oda put the ball directly into the basket, 2-0, Japan leads!

The Japanese on the field began to cheer loudly, holding the banner of "Japan will win!" and chanting incessantly!

"Oh no, that point guard is faster than I expected!" Cui Maixiang said in surprise.
