Chapter 106: Coach, I want to be a substitute

At the end of the match between Lingnan and Aihe, the other matches for the top four spots also ended almost at the same time.

In addition to Lingnan, the dark horse lore Aihe, the other three are still last year's top four teams, namely Mountain King, Hakata and Hainan!

In this round of the game, Lingnan replaced Aihe to win the top four places, which can be said to be beyond the expectations of many teams, of course, this does not include Hainan, which is also Kanagawa.

As soon as they heard that Lingnan replaced Aihe, the Hainan players were not too surprised, after all, they and Lingnan had played in the county competition, and the game took two overtime to determine the winner, so it can be said that Lingnan already has the strength to compare with Hainan.

Aihe Academy and Hainan were both in the top four of last year's national competition, and the strength between the two can be said to be between the best, and Lingnan can win Aihe, which is really not too surprising for Hainan players.

As Hainan's starting point guard, Mu Shenyi's mood today can be described as quite good, although he and Zhuxing are friends, but more of a competitor. It's just that when he was in middle school, Mu Shenyi's team has always been inferior to Zhuxingda's side, because he actually still cares about it in his heart.

This time, the national competition of Aihe College stopped in the quarterfinals, but Hainan entered the semi-finals, which rarely overpowered the stars, and Mu Shen naturally had a special excitement in his heart.

This year, two teams from Kanagawa Prefecture entered the semi-finals of the national competition at the same time, and it was also the first time that two teams from one prefecture won the semi-finals in the national competition, which made the organizing committee of the national tournament begin to pay more attention to Kanagawa Prefecture, a strong basketball county. After all, with Hainan and Lingnan, there may be other teams in Kanagawa Prefecture that are not much inferior, such as Xiangyang, which won the quarterfinals last year.

In an apartment building in downtown Tokyo, Sanno's players and coaches sat on tatami mats in the living room, staring at the video in front of them without saying a word.

The video is playing the match between Lingnan and Aihe, and the opponent of the mountain king in the next game is Lingnan, so Coach Domoto has to pay attention to it.

Sanno Industries is extraordinary, and it can be said to be the best among all teams in terms of player allocation. It's just that since Coach Domoto took charge of Sanno Industries, Sanno has always had a tradition, that is, to treat every opponent he encounters cautiously, and avoid being flopped by the opponent when the strength is dominant.

After a long time, when the video was played, Coach Domoto's face became more solemn, and his eyes fell on the starting players of the Mountain King.

"How do you feel about your opponents?"

"Although the center of Lingnan is good, he is still too immature, and the free throws are so bad, it can't be my opponent!" said a player who is nearly two meters tall, this person has long shoulders and a round waist, and his muscles are knotted, but he is Kentaro Sakurai, the starting center of Sanno Industries.

"Lingnan big forward is not my opponent!"

"There's no problem with a small forward!" Kaede Frost, who is the core of the mountain king, has a relaxed face, and Sasaki Oribe is several notches behind him.

"Although the quantile strength is good, but the physical fitness is too ordinary, I will try to limit him in the competition!" This time it was Minoru Matsumoto, a first-year student, who spoke, with confidence on his face.

After Minoru Matsumoto finished speaking, whether it was Coach Domoto of the Mountain King or other players, they all set their eyes on Fukatsu Issei, who was a bitter gourd.

"Coach, can I change positions?" Under the gaze of many eyes, Fukatsu felt a lot of pressure, and after a pause, he said weakly.

"No way!"

Seeing that Coach Domoto refused, Fukatsu Kazunari pondered for a moment, and whispered again: "Then, then I'll still play as a substitute, and the point guard will be handed over to Kawada!"

Masashi Kawada, who had just finished watching the video on the side, was eating snacks at the bar, and his whole face became big. It's just that when Fukatsu Kazunari's voice fell, the snack in Masashi Kawada's hand instantly fell to the ground, and then looked at Fukatsu with a sad look.

"I don't usually start the game, why do you think of me now! It's a pity, this one can't work!" Kawada Masashi said secretly in his heart, and then compared the height gap between the Lingnan point guard and himself, and the height difference of a head made him feel powerless.

"Fukatsu, what do you say you are like now, why don't you have any fighting spirit at all, where has your usual fighting spirit gone?"

Coach Domoto looked at Fukatsu Issei speechlessly, he never thought that this disciple would say such a thing, and would rather give up the start than go to the Lingnan point guard.

"I don't want to be hey, Coach! Look at this guy, it's like a blast, what do you want me to do against him! Why don't you let the captain play when defending? I think such a great and difficult task should be done by the captain!"

Fukatsu Kazunari couldn't help but laugh when he heard that his proposal was rejected again, and then proposed again.

Kaede Frost, who was innocently lying on the gun, looked at Fukatsu, and then spread out his hands, the meaning was self-evident.

"I'll talk about this then, and you can give me a good evaluation!"

Coach Domoto also felt that this was indeed embarrassing, after all, Ikegami in the video was simply omnipotent, so he couldn't help but subconsciously look at the team's ace Kashima Kaede.

"Coach, don't look at me, offense and defense are two different things!"

Kaede Frost, who is a little lazy by nature, doesn't want to do this kind of rough work, he thinks it's easy and enjoyable to deal with Sasaki Oribe in the game, but if he goes to defend Lingnan point guard. If he is accidentally blown up, then where should he, last year's MVP, put his face. This kind of face-saving thing, Kashima Kaede Frost doesn't want to do.

"Fukatsu, a man has to take his due responsibility. Okay, let's talk about your counterparts first!"

Coach Domoto didn't give Fukatsu a chance to continue proposing, and instead began to change the topic, changing from the opposite Lingnan point guard to how good the Lingnan point guard is.

"Well, coach, even though I haven't played against him, it's not good to evaluate. However, judging from the video, Lingnan point guard is undoubtedly one of the top point guards, taller than me, and seems to have better strength and speed than me. Judging by the footage, as long as he wants to score, no one can stop him. As for the organization, I'm not an opponent, and I don't know how to pass the ball without looking at people. Coach, you'd better go find and let Kawada replace my starter, I can't fight!"

Fukatsu Issei said with compassion from the heart, his voice became weaker and weaker, and his physical fitness said

Similar to Ikegami, but a weakened version of Ikegami. After reasoning, he finds that he seems to be a weakened version of Ikegami in every way, which also includes appearance, how else to fight.

In particular, Fukatsu knows that the remaining four positions of Lingnan are likely to be restricted by his teammates, and in that case, Lingnan's point guard may have an explosion, and the worst thing at that time can only be him, becoming an unlucky background board.

"No way! You're just going to be your starter!"

After Coach Domoto said this, he didn't bother to go to Fukatsu again, and left the living room by himself, but his steps were slightly heavy. His mind is not about the next game, but about the future!

"Fortunately, the son of that guy in Zebei should also go to high school next year, it seems that he is called Zebei Eiji. At that time, even if Kashima Kaede Shuang goes to university, the strength of the team will not decline, but I am afraid that the strength of Lingnan in the next two years will be sublimated, and it will be difficult to say at that time. ”
