Chapter 1040: The Glorious Years of "Antlers" (I)
The Kagoshima Antlers are a perennial winner in the JBA.
Not only because they have a steady stream of quality players, but also because they have a traditional culture of the team – a winning culture.
Although the Antlers are now in a turbulent period of semi-rebuilding, the Antlers have been championship contenders every year.
The trident combination of Amu and Ashen and Kiyota is the main reason why the Antlers are in the championship race for many years.
And the reason why the Antlers chose to form such a trio back then was to consider the successful results of the three of them before.
Specifically, it is the time when Hainan University was attached.
Although the three of them only played together for one season in Hainan because of the age gap, this season has proven the success of the three of them.
Let the memories come to the present, let's take a look at the debut of the Trident that year, what was it like~?!
Qingtian represented the Hainan team in the first game, in order to examine Qingtian's actual combat ability and whether he could match with Amu and Ashen. The Hainan head coach put Kiyota in the starting position.
"Don't worry, you just grab the rebound on the court, and then pass it to me, and the task of scoring and defeating the opponent will be left to me~!! Hahaha~!! ”
Before he could play, Kiyota began to show off.
"You listen to me, although you are the starter, but if you play blindly, don't pass the ball, and don't know the tactics of our Hainan team, I am sure that you will always sit on the cold bench~!!"
Ah Mu stood up at this time, leaned against Qingtian's ear, and said softly.
In this way, with a completely different heart, the "Trident" appeared.
"Let me show you the strength of my Kiyota~!!"
After the opening, Kiyota was in high spirits, holding the ball, and only the basket in his heart.
As he spoke, Kiyota continued to dribble under his crotch. After a series of quick stops and starts, after getting rid of the defensive footsteps, Kiyota directly made a three-point shot~!!
"Suffered, crooked~!!"
Shortly after the ball was shot, Kiyota said in a sad tone.
"Bell ~ !!"
Sure enough, the ball skewed out a lot, smashed into the basket, and bounced.
“duang~!!!!”
However, with Ah Mu here, everything is possible.
Ah Mu jumped up directly, caught the ball in the air with both hands, and smashed it directly into the basket~~
"You still have one more chance, and if you mess around again, you won't be back on the field~!!"
Ah Mu was on the defensive, rubbing Qingtian's shoulder, and said coldly.
"Is this a high school student~??"
Qingtian, on the other hand, was stupid there, still recalling Amu's mending just now, sighing.
Relying on this ball, Amu directly conquered Qingtian.
Since then, Kiyota can be said to have accompanied Ah Mu with peace of mind, and also delivered cannonballs to Ah Shen.
Three people led this Hainan all the way to the national competition~~
"Haha, recalling that time, it's really emotional~~"
Ah Mu continued to tilt his head and smiled.
"Time flies so fast, and to be honest, I really didn't expect that in the future, we would get together in the future~~"
Kiyota also sighed.
"Yes, this may be all the arrangement of fate, haha~!!"
Ah Shen also sighed.
"By the way, we are together and have won a lot of championships, in your hearts, which championship do you think is the most memorable~??"
Shen then asked.
"Is it the most memorable~?! Hmm~~um~~"
Ah Mu recalled it, as if he remembered something.
"It must be 2013, and it's also our most recent championship~~"
Amu recalls that the time goes back to three years ago, in the JBA finals, the Kagoshima Antlers team played against the electronic team led by Rukawa Kaede and Aikawa Hikoka, who reached the finals for the first time.
The backstory of that finals is that in the previous finals, Kagoshima Antlers has not won the championship again since 2008, and the team has faced reconstitution many times~~
Reaching the finals again, Amu and the Antlers team are united, thinking about winning the "Golden Basket" again.
Although the two games before the series, the two teams did not play too intensely, and the Antlers were completely in control of the game.
But after coming to Mito in the third game, the electronic team finally came up with a desperate posture against the opponent.
Every ball must be fought, the defense is deadly, and everyone has a feeling of "seeing death as home".
In such an atmosphere, the score of the two sides is always tight.
On the Antlers' side, the Trident still dominates.
Although after the start of the second half, Amu and others began to exert their efforts to take over the game, but Rukawa Kaede did not agree, and several goals that relied on personal ability helped the electronic team not collapse again.
On the electronic team's side, as long as Rukawa Kaede's firepower can continue. Then there will be a lot of suspense in the game.
In the following game, the two sides really went back and forth, not giving in to each other, and the score was always staggered and leading.
The game was already in the final 18 seconds, and the Antlers were leading by one point, but the ball was on the side of the electronic team.
Huang Se stands on the sideline and prepares to serve.
Time is passing bit by bit.
Aikawa ran out of the open space again with the help of cover and tried to get the ball.
In fact, Huang Se wanted to give the ball to Rukawa Kaede's hands, but the situation on Rukawa Kaede's side was more complicated, because it was almost sandwiched between Ah Shen and Akiyama, and there was no condition to catch the ball at all.
Seeing that Aichuan was asking for the ball again, Huang Se could only hold the ball high with both hands and pass it over.
"Smack~!!!"
For some reason, as if it was a conditioned reflex, Amu, who was defending Huang Se, just waved his arm casually and hit the ball in the air.
Ah Mu seemed to feel that his hand hit something, so when he looked into the sky, it was really a ball.
Seeing this, Ah Mu immediately jumped up and grabbed the ball.
"Ah Mu broke the ball~~!!!"
The tone of the commentary is quite desperate.
Seeing that Amu had already hugged the ball, Huang Se immediately stepped forward to foul when he saw this.
"Du~!!!"
The referee also blew the whistle immediately when he saw this.
Amu made a fatal steal, which was almost the one that sealed the victory of the game.
"Bang Bang~!! Brush~!!! ”
Sure enough, Amu's free throw still showed a trace of instability at such an important moment, and the ball bounced twice, but it still went in.
"Brush~!!"
The second penalty was adjusted and hit steadily.
This time, it was Rukawa Kaede to serve the baseline ball, and Rukawa Kaede quickly sent the ball out and gave it to Aichuan, who rushed to the front court at speed.
The Antlers' defense, Kiyota, is also very tight.
Aikawa can only pass the ball~!!
"Smack~!!!"
It's Amu again~!!
It was Amu who appeared on the passing path of the electronic team again, and this time Amu made a prediction in advance.
"Oh~!!!"
Rukawa Kaede still wanted to go up and foul, but the timer was already ruthlessly zero.
The game ~~~ is over.
Amu's last two great steals extinguished the small flame of the electronic team's home victory.
For a best-of-seven series, everyone knows what it means to be 3-0 up.
"Oh~!!!!!!!"
And here, although the game has ended, but holding the ball tightly, holding the ball like this, it seems that Amu, who is about to squeeze the ball, is still standing in place, standing in the place where the ball is broken, tilting his head, roaring, roaring.
Compared with the electronic team, Amu has been subjected to a lot of "shadows" in previous seasons, but tonight, it should all disappear with the team's victory.
Amu's roar resounded through the Sony Center.
