Chapter 196: The Transformation of the Immortal Dao
Looking at Zebei who fell, Ikegami shook his head with a wry smile, this scene is very similar to the pain of Rukawa Kaede to Zebei in SD, and now Zebei's opponent is Xiandao.
It stands to reason that the strength of Zebei in the first year is naturally slightly inferior, but Zebei is quite familiar with the skills of the Immortal Dao, which leads to this situation.
Every top player has lived in the praise of others for a long time, and naturally has arrogance, and when they encounter setbacks, they often do not wake up, but will become more serious.
Rukawa Kaede is like this, and so is Xiandao, just like a gambler who has lost a red eye, he only has the thought of winning back in his head.
So, just after half time on Ikegami, Sendo asked for the ball again.
For this situation, the Lingnan players present were a little resentful, in a country like Japan, which attaches importance to respect and inferiority, Xiandao's approach seems to be unreasonable.
But Ikegami is still quite calm, still passing the basketball to Sendo as before, as if only he has the best position on the court.
On the bench of the King of the Mountain, Coach Domoto, who was originally sitting peacefully on the bench, couldn't help frowning, and hesitantly looked at Ikegami, who had a calm face on the field, and then regained his calm.
Xiandao received the ball, launched a cross step, flipped with both hands, and saw the basketball like a butterfly, quickly interspersed under the crotch of Xiandao, taking a step forward, and making a quick breakthrough.
Zebei stretched out his hands, stared at Xiandao's trembling shoulders, and subconsciously took half a step back.
Just when Zebei was retreating, Xiandao pulled the basketball, quickly retracted his foot, and stepped back to shoot.
When Xiandao retracted his feet, Zebei immediately realized that something was wrong, and his extremely rich heads-up experience made Zebei immediately take a step forward and jump up as well.
Zebei's hand didn't touch the basketball thrown, but his defense still allowed Sendo to throw and land on the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by Masashi Kawada.
Masashi Kawada carelessly passed the ball to Fukatsu, but at this moment, Ikegami, who seemed to be about to return to defense, instantly started and stealed the basketball in an instant.
"Damn!"
Masashi Kawada scolded secretly and immediately stepped forward to defend, and he defended with Kazunari Fukatsu, who lost the ball, but saw Ikegami accelerate and break through with the ball from the gap between the two.
Zebei, who was extremely fast, returned from the flank and took up a defensive position.
Smack!
Slightly sideways, the right hand dribble breakthrough, between the two shoulders contact, Zebei staggered back, and when he stood firm and turned back, he saw Ikegami jump up and change hands to dodge the two mountain kings' inside line, and blasted the ball into the basket with one hand.
Waving a steal, riding alone to break through five people, and changing hands in the air to dunk, all of them have exhausted the reputation of Japan's No. 1 high school student.
The crowd roared and cheered for the scene. Although the audience has their own support, even the fans of the opposing camp will subconsciously praise this kind of good ball.
"Damn!" Eiji Sawakita
"It's here again!"
"He's in the limelight again, and we're backdrops!" Masashi Kawada ......
After all, Sanwang Industry is the strongest college team in terms of comprehensive strength, and their mentality, which has won the championship all year round, is naturally quite balanced, and will not easily lead to a big drop in morale because of gains and losses.
Ten minutes later, Zebei successfully broke through Xiandao again, and broke through two Lingnan defense players one after another, pouring the ball into the basket.
At this time, the scores of the two sides were 33:18, Sanno Industry was in front, and Lingnan was behind.
In just over ten minutes, Lingnan has fallen behind by 15 points.
Xiandao bent over to support his knees, panting in his mouth, his eyes were dark, the previous game was basically a heads-up between him and Zebei, but the situation was quite poor, his offensive skills seemed to be seen through by Zebei, whether it was a breakthrough with the ball or a jump shot, it was much worse than usual, and there was no smooth attack.
Don't look at Xiandao's usual lazy behavior, but he is also a high-minded top player, and under this blow, his self-confidence begins to be unbalanced.
During this period, Coach Taoka originally wanted to call a timeout to adjust, but after seeing Ikegami's gestures, he had to hold back.
It wasn't until the end of this Sanno attack that Coach Taoka finally called a timeout at the hint of Ikegami.
"Do you know why you lost?"
At this time, Ikegami stood in front of the immortal dao, his eyes looking directly at the immortal dao whose gaze was a little evasive.
"Strength!"
"You're right, but it's not all. It's true that you're not as good as Zebei in heads-up ability, but that doesn't mean you're going to lose to him in other areas. ”
Ikegami paused and said again: "You are too confident in your own strength, confident enough to think that you can win the game on your own, which should have something to do with your background when you were in middle school. However, there is a huge gap between the two, and the middle school is more concerned about cultivating the individual ability of players, while the university has begun to pay attention to basic team cooperation, and the style of play is naturally different. For a long time, you can't integrate into Lingnan's offensive and defensive system, because you pay too much attention to the playing style and habits of the middle school period. But if we don't look for change, we're likely to lose this game. Immortal Dao, if you don't have enough strength, you can slowly improve, but you tell me, do you want to win, or do you want to give up?"
"Captain, I want to win!" Xiandao's hand clenched into a fist, and then released it in an instant, his face flashed with a strange look of determination, and his voice was excited.
At this moment, he underwent a transformation, neglected his personal honor and disgrace, and began to integrate into Lingnan's offensive and defensive system.
Lingnan's starters are still these five people, but their strength has improved rapidly, and both tactical execution and team cooperation are stronger than before.
The 'thorn head' disappeared, and was replaced by an immortal path that transformed like a phoenix's nirvana.
His personal strength may not have changed, but the change in his mentality can make him drift away in the future.
After all, there was not much time for the timeout, and after a conversation between the two, the game resumed.
Coach Taoka's face was full of helplessness, he didn't even say a word just now, he could only watch Ikegami 'educate' Xiandao, and then ...... The pause is over.
However, Tian Gang's heart is still somewhat relieved, and he has always had a headache about the problem of the immortal path being separated from the system, but there is nothing he can do, until today, this thorn has finally integrated after a setback. This is undoubtedly a great thing for Lingnan.
So much so that Ikegami's substitution, Coach Taoka passively ignored it, Coach Taoka also has self-knowledge, his training methods and vision are naturally excellent, but the use of tactics is quite ordinary. At this point, he is far inferior to the coach of Sanno Industries.
Seeing the rejuvenated Lingnan players return to the field, Coach Taoka was inexplicably full of confidence in this game.
