Chapter 260: The Combination of Sakura-ryu
Coach Anthy duly requested a timeout, but did not speak during the timeout, leaving the players to adjust themselves.
Akagi was covered with a towel on his head, his eyes closed, and he didn't know what he was thinking. It wasn't until the end of the timeout that the players from Xiangbei were called up.
"Xiangbei, come on!"
Akagi stretched out a hand, and there was still the confusion and anger on his face, but there was only perseverance and bravery.
The other four players also looked at each other, folded their hands on Akagi's hands, and then shook their hands violently and stepped onto the field.
After such a deal, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the spirit of Xiangbei players seems to have reached its peak.
Due to the fact that Akagi was pitted before, the score difference between the two sides has already reached double digits, and it is not easy for Xiangbei to fill in the score.
After all, this is not the king of the mountain, but a subsidiary of Hakata Business University. Maybe the mountain king is one point stronger than Hakata, but sometimes there are strategic problems, like the match between SD and Xiangbei, and finally lost the game for various reasons.
Hakata is a team that seeks teamwork, and it is difficult to have a large fluctuation, and their coach is even older and stronger, comparable to a high-level coach in terms of technique and tactics, far from being comparable to the young coach Domoto.
"Although Xiangbei's momentum is amazing, it is impossible to beat Hakata, unless it is ......" Coach Hakata sat on the bench, and he could see at a glance that there was a big difference between Xiangbei at this time and before the suspension, but he always thought that Hakata could not lose, because Xiangbei still had a lot of weaknesses.
While Coach Hakata was pondering, Miyagi hoisted the ball to Akagi again, and Akagi did not act rashly after suffering the trap this time, but passed it back to Miyagi before the trap was formed, Miyagi made a layup to attract the attention of the defenders, and then passed the ball to Akagi again, and Akagi scored with both hands.
Bang dang!
A roar rang out, along with Akagi's roar. At this time, Akagi has undergone the previous transformation, and he pays more attention to the passing and receiving cooperation with his teammates in the attack, and has more thoughts about being a green leaf.
As for the garbage that the opposing players are still chattering about, Akagi directly ignores it, and at this time he has no waves in his mind, and he will not be easily affected by trash talk.
It's just that in the face of Bodo's attack, Xiangbei doesn't have much to do, it's really that the Boduo players cooperate too tacitly with each other, and they are far from being comparable to Xiangbei. Coupled with the fact that the individual level of the Bodo players is not low, although the offensive rhythm of such a team is slow, the offensive success rate is not low.
Brush!
A double cover allowed one of Hakata's pitchers to run out of the vacant position, but the basketball was in the hands of the player in an instant, and the Hakata player did not wait for the Xiangbei player to come forward to defend, and the Hakata player was in the empty frame.
Once again, it was Shohoku's turn to attack, and Miyagi passed the ball to Rukawa Kaede in the breakaway.
At the moment when Rukawa Kaede received the ball, the distribution of Hakata players changed instantly, and the Hakata player who was opposite Sakuragi immediately left Sakuragi behind, and instantly formed a bag with another Hakata player.
"Damn!" Sakuragi Hanamichi felt that he was being slighted after seeing that no one was defending him, but with his willfulness, he would not drop his face and wave at Rukawa Kaede for the ball.
Rukawa Kaede really ignored Sakuragi, maybe there is not much difference between two people and one person for him, he can also defeat with his personal ability.
As soon as the two Hakata players formed a bag, Rukawa Kaede jumped straight up.
"Innocent!" the two Hakata players jumped up in unison, trying to intercept Rukawa Kaede's jumper, even if they couldn't, to cover his vision of the basket.
However, after taking off, they immediately realized that their abacus had been wrong, as Rukawa Kaede seemed to be getting farther and farther away from them.
"Step-back jumper!" the Hakata player thought of this basketball term, and then watched Rukawa Kaede throw the basketball in his hand.
Brush!
Rukawa Kaede hit a back, and after two or three months of hard practice, Rukawa Kaede has initially mastered the backward jumper. Of course, it is far from being comparable to Ikegami's mastery, but the hit rate is also considerable.
"When will this guy shoot backwards!" Xiangbei players secretly said in their hearts, this is also the first time they have seen Rukawa Kaede use a backward jumper.
"Rukawa Kaede, I love you!" "Rukawa Kaede, I love you!"
With the achievements of Xiangbei and the personal charm of Rukawa Kaede, the scale of Liuchuan Life has already expanded a lot, and the number has been considerable. After seeing Rukawa Kaede's dashing hit, they raised their white thighs again and cheered for Rukawa Kaede.
"Unless Red 10 and No. 11 can discard their prejudices, the only one who will win in the end will be our Hakata Business University affiliate!"
When he saw this scene, Coach Hakata didn't take it to heart, for him it didn't matter if the opponent threw a backward jumper, the important thing was that Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi obviously wouldn't cooperate. Thinking of this, Coach Bodo subconsciously looked at Coach Anzai not far away, after all, even he could see it, let alone Coach Anzai in Xiangbei, but he didn't know what Coach Anzai was thinking.
The game on the court is still in full swing, but the score of the two sides is generally maintained in a balance, even if Mitsui Shou shoots three-pointers one after another, he still can't narrow the difference, and he always beats back and forth on that point difference.
With the passage of time, the situation is obviously becoming more and more unfavorable for Xiangbei, and the players in Xiangbei have begun to be anxious.
With just five minutes left on the clock, the situation became even more dire.
"Whew!" Rukawa Kaede gasped, his cold eyes staring at the electronic scoreboard not far away, not knowing what was going on in his heart.
"Damn, I'm afraid I'll lose if I continue like this!" Sakuragi Hanamichi had such a thought in his heart inexplicably, he subconsciously glanced at Rukawa Kaede, and was stunned to find that Rukawa Kaede was also looking at him.
Then the next moment, the eyes of the two touched and parted, as if they did not meet at all.
"Gotta win!" Akagi shouted, the bruises on his arms bursting out, whether it was his dream of dominating the country or the big hole he had dug before, he was going to win this game.
Mitsui had the same thought in his heart, and then his eyes immediately fell on Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede, judging from Hakata's defensive countermeasures, it was obvious that Hakata was using the cold relationship between the two to achieve his goal. Once the two cooperate, not only can they catch Boduo off guard, but the success rate of the offense may have to be raised to a higher level.
Honk!
Mitsui made a gesture and then Ayako asked for a timeout.
Then, under the persuasion of many players from Xiangbei, Ayako and Coach Anzai, Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede temporarily put aside their prejudices against each other and began to seek cooperation.
In fact, in the hearts of the two, they don't want to cooperate, after all, the situation has reached this level, and it would be too unreasonable for the team to lose the game due to personal reasons.
Then, just as the transformation of Xiangbei to the king of the mountain in SD happened at this moment, the Xiangbei players united, the offensive success rate rose to a new level again, and Akagi and Sakuragi frantically fought for rebounds in the frontcourt, and finally the defending champion Hakata suffered a lore in the last second, and it was the cooperation of Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi that formed the lore.
In this way, the last national semi-finals were successfully released, but Xiangbei seemed to be in a bad state after this game.
