Chapter Ninety-Eight: The First Half Ends
Zhuxing's big hands were clenched, and he could also feel Chishang's provocation, but at the same time that he couldn't refute it, he also had a desire/desire in his heart to express himself strongly.
Everyone doesn't want to be looked down upon by their opponents, especially for the somewhat arrogant Zhu Xingda, who just reached out for the ball again as soon as half the court passed.
However, unlike the great idea of the stars, Hirogen Takeshita, who was sitting on the inside line of Aihe Academy, had a somewhat ugly face, this time he did not nod, but also stretched out his hands to ask for the ball after pulling Yuzhu away.
Junichiro Komatsu had a headache, but he didn't struggle with the choice, and finally passed the ball to Hirogen Takeshita instead of Zhuxingda. In the final analysis, Zhuxingda is only a first-year freshman, and his prestige in the team cannot be compared with Hirogen Takeshita. In addition, he is also a little unaccustomed to the way the stars are requested, no matter what, he is also a senior!
Hirogen Takeshita held the ball with both hands, tried to sit on the fish with his back, and found that after squeezing the fish without retreating, his feet kept shaking, and he used his back to sense the defense of the fish stay.
Although Yuzhu has made great progress in basketball, he is also a novice in the end, and both offense and defense often rely on his height and strength.
Takeshita Guangyuan's footsteps are more flexible than Yuzhu's, after continuous shaking, after feeling that Yuzhu's position is slightly offset, he turns to the right one by one, temporarily avoiding Yuzhu's blocking, a wipe board, and the basketball responds to the frame.
Seeing Hirogen Takeshita put himself into basketball, Zhu Xingda's face was a little ugly, and he flattened his mouth slightly, but he didn't say anything, he was not stupid, and he knew in his heart that his actions had caused the dissatisfaction of the captain and teammates just now.
"Alas, our treatment is obviously two levels!"
Before Zhuxingda turned around to defend himself, Chigami pretended to shrug his shoulders helplessly, which made Zhuxingda feel itchy with hatred.
"Wait, I must score higher than you in this game!"
After Zhu Xingda left such a sentence, he finally turned around and returned to defense. As a top basketball player, who will not have arrogance in his heart, and when the opponent provokes, how can he not fight back.
Looking at the back of Zhuxing turning back, Ikegami's face suddenly showed a rather bright smile.
Catching his teammate's serve with one hand, Ikegami rushed straight into the opponent's position without the slightest stop. Another unreasonable rampage, successfully breaking through the defense of the stars, Yuzumi and Inoue hurriedly pulled the opposing player aside, and Ikegami easily broke through the inside layup successfully.
"It feels good!
Before Ikegami returned, he seemed to be muttering to himself and muttering to the stars, and the angry stars were a little angry.
Unlike before, this time Zhuxingda did not stand in place and reach out for the ball, but handed it straight in the running position to take the basketball from Junichiro Komatsu.
This time, Junichiro Komatsu really had no choice, so he reluctantly handed the basketball to Zhu Xingda, and delayed the following Ikegami.
With this bit of space, Zhu Xingda used his speed to break straight into the inner line, a horse archery, and a basketball into the net.
"My hand feels pretty good, too!" Perhaps it was Ikegami's provocation before, and Zhu Xingda also looked at his hands with a kind of nostalgic gaze.
"Who just missed the ball?"
It's just that as soon as Ikegami's words came out, the smile on Zhuxingda's face became stiff. There is no way, just now Chi Shang shot all the shots, but Zhu Xingda missed one shot, not to mention that the two of them still have the advantage in the scoring pool.
The stars returned with great hatred, and their minds were racing, thinking only about how to score for a while.
Before Zhu Xingda could come up with it, a big thick hand hooked him hard, and Zhu Xingda looked to the side and saw a big square face of Hirogen Takeshita.
"Stars, although individuals are very important, you have to understand that basketball is a team sport after all, and you also know the importance of this game to us, I hope you don't take it personally! As for what you think now, I don't know, but look at the coach!"
Hirogen Takeshita said such a thing before letting go of the stars.
When Zhu Xingda heard this, he hurriedly looked at the bench of Aihe Academy, only to see that the coach was looking at him with a blue face at this time. Not only that, but there is also a player who is a shooting guard next to him warming up, and the idea is self-evident.
As soon as he saw that the coach had the intention of replacing him, it was like a bucket of cold water spilled on his head, and Zhu Xingda temporarily gave up the idea of trying to regain face. He knows very well that if he is substituted, he doesn't want to score another point, he knows very well which is important.
Lingnan served, Chishang steadily advanced the opponent's lineup, and when he saw the stars in front of him who were more calm than before, he couldn't help but secretly say badly.
However, he didn't think much about it, and concentrated on organizing the team's attack.
Stretching out his hand, the basketball fell unimpeded into the hands of Yusaku Ozawa on the side.
Catching the ball with both hands, feeling that Junichiro Komatsu was too close, Yusaku Ozawa took advantage of the situation to turn around, wiped Junichiro Komatsu, and jumped to shoot.
It's a pity that the basketball brushed out of the frame, and the offensive rebound was grabbed by Hirogen Takeshita, who had a slight advantage.
As soon as Hirogen Takeshita got the basketball, he saw Junichiro Komatsu running with all his strength in front of him, a cannon pass that looked at the half.
The pass was successfully caught by Junichiro Komatsu, and he rushed straight towards the Lingnan penalty area, looking at his momentum to make a three-step layup.
Junichiro Komatsu had just jumped on the basket together, and Ikegami arrived, and with a block, he shot the basketball out from the side.
The one who grabbed the basketball was the stars who came from behind, and threw the basketball into the basket without being guarded.
"I'm sorry!" Yusaku Ozawa had an apologetic look on his face, and Junichiro Komatsu was the one he was targeting.
"It's okay, the two players in the backcourt of Aihe Academy are very fast, and it is normal to play counterattacks!"
Ikegami has no intention of complaining about Yusaku Ozawa, after all, it has something to do with people's talent, Yusaku Ozawa is worse than Junichiro Komatsu in terms of speed, and the face-to-face defense is good, but it is difficult to catch up in the rapid counterattack of the offensive and defensive conversion.
Ikegami reorganized the attack, a breakthrough ball, and the basketball was passed to Sasaki Oribe, who ran out of the vacant position, but Sasaki Oribe also failed to grasp the opportunity, and the basketball popped out of the frame again.
This time, the rebound was grabbed by Aihe Academy again, but the Lingnan players were on guard and returned to the defense in place, but they were not beaten into a counterattack. It's just that Uozumi lost his position again in the positional battle, and Hirogen Takeshita scored two points again.
In the following rounds, Ikegami spends most of his time organizing his attacks, and only occasionally turns on his individual scoring mode. It's just that today's teammates may be due to nervousness, the feeling can be described as cold, and the shooting percentage is obviously not as good as in the previous games. After all, it is a competition for the top four, and Aihe Academy is a national competition powerhouse all year round, and Lingnan is the first time for both players and coaches to participate, and the strength of the players cannot be fully played.
On the other hand, under the defense of Hirogen Takeshita, a national-level center, Yuzhu seems to have lost his way on the inside, and it is difficult to make achievements, and the rebounding gap between the two sides is obvious.
In such a situation, after the end of the first half, Lingnan, who had the advantage at the beginning, was at a disadvantage, lagging behind Aihe Academy by nearly ten points.
