Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Victory of the Flowing Clouds
The players attached to Jimbo were clamoring one after another, threatening to defeat Lingnan by a big score and forcing Ikegami to play.
The five starters of the Lingnan team didn't mind much on the surface, but in fact, they also had a burning fighting spirit in their hearts and wanted to prove themselves.
At the beginning, Yuzhu relied on the advantage of height and arm span to beat the opponent's center in the jump ball link, and picked the ball to Matsushita Xujian, who was a point guard.
As soon as he got the ball, Panasonic Xujian immediately activated, and with his faster speed, he grabbed the opponent off guard and rushed towards the opponent's half.
"Captain!" As soon as he stepped into the center circle, Asahi Matsushita immediately handed the ball to Yusaku Ozawa outside the three-point line.
As soon as the basketball was started, Yu Ozawa made a shooting feint to shake the opponent and rushed into the horn area.
At this time, the center attached to Jimbo hurriedly threw down the fish and jumped almost at the same time as Yusaku Ozawa.
It's just that Yusaku Ozawa still looked calm and abnormally calm after the jump, and passed the ball directly out of his armpit.
Rumble!
Yuzhu catches the basketball, and under the unguarded, jumps and squats with both hands, which is a tough monkey boss slam dunk.
"Captain, good pass!"
Yuzumi let go of the basket and came to Yusaku Ozawa, raised his hand and patted Yusaku Ozawa's right hand, turned around and trotted back to defense.
"It's just a ball, and it'll be hit back in a minute!"
The coach who was originally sitting on the sidelines of the stadium was a little depressed when he saw that his players were a little demoralized, and quickly stood up to boost their morale. But in his heart, he was lamenting that the Shenbao Great Attachment did not have a real trump card and core, otherwise how could he be used to boost morale.
"The coach is right, we'll call back!"
After the center of the Shenbao University finished serving, he buried his head and rushed towards the Lingnan position.
It's just that before the center attached to Jimbo ran to the position, Matsushita Xujian made a quick steal, and their point guard lost the ball.
Matsushita Xujian directly picked up the basketball, the front was open, leaving others behind, a simple and neat three-step layup, and the ball went in.
The players affiliated with Jimbo University made a turnaround run in vain, and conceded two goals in succession at the beginning, which caused their morale to be affected somewhat, resulting in the opening being suppressed by Lingnan instead.
Don't look at the fact that Chishang hasn't played yet, but Lingnan who is not as good as Chishang can also compare to Jinjiuwu in terms of strength, but is stronger in some aspects, among them, the more mature Yuzhu is one of the important aspects.
Although they finished second in this year's Tokyo Prefecture Contest and have been in the national tournament for many years, they often live one or two rounds of the national competition, so it is conceivable that their strength may not be able to beat Kanagawa's Tsukushi on the whole.
In addition, on the inside line, Lingnan undoubtedly has the upper hand, with Yuzumi's height and Inoue's card position, Lingnan has significantly more rebounds than Shenbao, which directly leads to changes in the situation between the two sides.
Due to the guarantee of rebounds, Lingnan can project with confidence on the outside, and even if he misses the rebound, he is often controlled by Lingnan. The Shenbao Affiliate is different, they all have a sense of gain and loss in their hearts when they shoot, and their shooting rate has also been affected somewhat.
It was precisely because of the advantage of the inside line that by the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 42:26, and it only took one half for Lingnan to win by a full 16 points.
In the front row of the spectator stand, several players from Aiwa Academy were sitting and watching, and the experienced Hirogen Takeshita straightened up after the first half.
"Let's go!"
"But, captain, the game isn't over yet......"
Before a player from Aihe Academy could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hirogen Takeshita: "For me, the game is over, let's watch the game in Lingnan tomorrow!"
Hirogen Takeshita shook his head, his eyes fell straight on the Lingnan bench, and he looked at what Coach Ikegami and Takaka, who had a relaxed face, was saying.
"What does the captain mean...... Is Lingnan going to win this time?" asked the Aihe Academy player with a flash of doubt in his eyes.
"It's won, the Shenbao Great Affiliate is too weak, and he doesn't even have the strength to force the Lingnan team to be the trump card. The strength of the Tokyo team is weak, and it is a waste for the National Competition Organizing Committee to give Tokyo three places every year. ”
The stars on the side helped to answer and led the topic to the national competition quota.
"That's right, after so many years, the Tokyo team hasn't even won the honor of the quarterfinals in the national competition, and the organizing committee should cancel a place, and it should be given to Aichi Prefecture!"
Hirogen Takeshita has such an expression, in his opinion, although Aichi Prefecture has even one more place in the national competition has little to do with Aiwa Academy, but this is undoubtedly a recognition of status.
"Captain, I heard that there is a situation of mass hegemony in Kanagawa Prefecture this year!" Zhu Xingda said this weakly on the side, and there was no follow-up, mainly because Takeshita Guangyuan's eyes were looking straight at him.
"Wouldn't it be okay to win, if it weren't for the strength of the Kanagawa Prefecture team, I would have brought you here to observe the enemy's situation!"
Hirogen Takeshita had an expression that you don't understand, and then turned away, leaving behind an unfathomable image in the eyes of the other Aiwa Academy players.
"I'm afraid he won't play in this game!" Before leaving, Zhu Xingda glanced at the pool that was sitting on the bench and turned to leave.
Not long after, the second half continued, and with the encouragement of the coach, the morale of Shenbao Da Affiliated has rebounded somewhat, but it is still not as good as Lingnan on the field, and the difference between the two sides is still slowly widening until the end of the game.
For the whole game, even if Ikegami didn't play, whether it was on the field or in the score, Lingnan had been suppressing the Tokyo team attached to Jimboo Daidai.
Although the difference between the two sides was not too big, the resistance of the Shenbao University did not cause a splash, and once again won the results of the first round of the national competition and was eliminated by Lingnan.
After this game, the confidence of the players of the Lingnan team is obviously stronger than before. Before the duel with the Jinbao Daidai, there may be seven or eight times in his heart, after all, Ikegami did not play.
But once they defeated the Shenbao University, the players of the Lingnan team had high confidence in the team and their own strength, and they were even more confident in this year's national competition, thinking that they could get a good result.
After playing this game, the Lingnan team did not leave the gymnasium, but stayed on the scene to watch Fengyu's game. For the Lingnan team, which is participating in the national competition for the first time, caution is a must.
Fengyu's game is like mercury in terms of play, which is extraordinarily good-looking, attracting a burst of cheers from the audience, no way, the audience likes to watch such a game the most.
In this game, Feng Yu can be said to be abusing vegetables, although the bombardment tactics do not pay attention to defense or even give up defense, but after the game, the difference between the two sides was doubled, and they won more than 60 points.
"Feng Yu can't be underestimated!" Coach Tian Gang couldn't help but sigh after watching this game, but he was more confident in his heart, thinking that Ling Nan could defeat Feng Yu.
