The eleventh round of the new season of the JBA League ushered in a key battle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sendai Rover plays Kobe Jaguar at home.

This match is not only a repeat of last season's semi-finals, but also the best moment for Jaguar to set a new team record for consecutive wins.

However, after the opening, Sakuragi on the Jaguar team's side was a little out of shape.

After the opening, he failed to score a fairly simple rebound, but was stealed by Xiandao.

There was also a big hole on the defensive end, which made Ah Fu an easy dunk under the basket.

Although Coach Ohki didn't say anything, these rounds will be remembered in my heart as a coach~!!

"What the hell is wrong with this guy Sakuragi~~ Absent-minded, it doesn't look like it looks after a tiring journey, if something really happens, according to what I know about this guy, it must be some internal injury~!! For example: the failure of the love field~~"

It's still Yohei who understands Sakuragi.

"It's okay, Sakuragi~!!"

Miyagi is still encouraging Sakuragi.

Sakuragi didn't respond, and ran towards the front with his head down.

From now on, the "mystery man" incident has had a serious impact on Sakuragi.

"Damn~~, what's wrong with me, the Rover is the opponent I've been looking forward to knocking down, and now that the opportunity has come, how can I be distracted by things off the field~!!"

Sakuragi also asked himself in his heart, Sakuragi also wanted to play this game well, but Sakuragi's mind was always entangled in the matter of the "mysterious man".

Maybe it would have been better to ask at the time.

However, according to Sakuragi's character, once he asks for a clear question, he will be hit hard by himself, and Sakuragi will not come to the competition if he doesn't do it~~!!

In any case, the game continues.

In addition to Sakuragi, the other members of the Jaguar team are very scrappy, although the journey is tiring, but it can be seen from the players' moves and styles that the players want to win this game.

Especially Rukawa Kaede.

In the first half of the game, Rukawa Kaede has made 16 shots and hit 7 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 4 free throws, and the shooting rate is average.

The 20 points scored by Rukawa Kaede were already the most points in the half.

However, in the big score, the Jaguar team still fell behind 43:52.

If you want to ask the reason for this backwardness, of course, it is Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Played 12 minutes and 10 seconds in the first half, shot 0 of 4, did not score, only grabbed 3 rebounds, and 3 turnovers.

Even in Sakuragi's rookie season, he won't play at this level.

"If Sakuragi Hanamichi is performing like this, then I can only say that Jaguar fans would like to thank Sakuragi for retiring last season due to injury, if he hadn't withdrawn, I'm afraid the Rover could have won with a substitute!!"

In the words of the on-site commentary, the irony is also full ~~!!

"Sakuragi Hanamichi!! What's the matter with you, a few pauses in the first half, I want to say you, you are like this, what do you use to fulfill your promise~~!! ”

In the locker room at halftime, Sakuragi was also criticized by Coach Ohki.

Indeed, Sakuragi played a mess in the first half, and this may be the worst first half of Sakuragi's season, or even his entire career!!

Sakuragi did not respond to Coach Oki's criticism, still there with his head down and not saying a word.

"Coach, don't worry~~ I know Sakuragi, he must have encountered some things, so he wants to play well, I'll enlighten him later, it should be no problem~!!"

Akagi walked up to Coach Oki and whispered in his ear.

"Okay, the second half tactics ~~~"

Hearing Akagi's persuasion, Coach Ohki put away his anger and re-discussed tactics.

"Sakuragi~~ No matter what happens, don't take your emotions off the field, we're already professional players, not kids anymore!! If there's really something that makes you sad the most, don't mind. Tell me and I can help you with some of this!! ”

Before the start of the second half, in the Jaguar locker room, Akagi kept Sakuragi, and then Akagi said.

At this time, Akagi embodies the warm side of a captain and a big brother.

Just like Yohei, after all, Akagi and Sakuragi have been together for so many years, and Akagi can't know more about his little brother~~

After hearing Akagi's words, Sakuragi finally stood up.

"Ah~~"

sighed.

"Let's go, Captain~~"

Sakuragi finally raised his head and spoke, and it seemed that he was much stronger than before.

"Can he?"

Before going on the field, Coach Oki asked Akagi to confirm Sakuragi's condition.

"It should be fine~~"

Akagi's answer was also cautious.

Sakuragi finally gained the trust of Coach Ohki and started again in the second half.

After the start of the second half, Sakuragi's state was indeed much stronger than the first half, but it was still much lower than Sakuragi's normal level, especially his listless mood, which would be contagious to his teammates, like a virus that invaded the entire team, and then players who had the desire to win, seeing Sakuragi's state, there would also be fluctuations~~

After relying on two free throws and a mid-range shot, Sakuragi finally scored four points, but was replaced by Coach Ohki.

This change is until the end of the game.

Sakuragi has never wanted to sit on a cold bench for such a long time in his entire career.

After all, it was a bus for most of the day, which would inevitably have an impact, and then bear the invisible pressure of 10 consecutive wins and breaking records. So the team didn't find the feeling of winning ten in a row.

The final score was fixed at 88:101.

Jaguar's 88 points were the lowest of the season, an auspicious figure, but the opposite was true for Jaguar, who had a 10-game winning streak with the defeat in this game.

Failed to set a new record of their own!!

"The end of one record means the beginning of another, I hope that after the Jaguar team puts down the burden, from the whole team, and then starts, I believe they are still a team with the strength to compete for the championship!!"

The commentators after the game also encouraged the Jaguar team.

However, for this stage, the Jaguar team needs to solve the emotional problem of Sakuragi Hanamichi the most.

"Where's this guy Sakuragi?? I still want to talk to him, it's really ~~~"

After the game, Yohei quickly came to the Jaguar bench, but he didn't see Sakuragi.

Sakuragi may have returned to the locker room before the game was over.

The winning streak was ended, and Akagi and the others were in a low mood.

After returning to the locker room, they were all packing their luggage without saying a word, and Coach Oki should have gone to the post-game press conference, so he was not in the locker room.

"Everyone~~~, I'm sorry!!"

Sakuragi, who had been unknown in his seat, suddenly stood up and said very sincerely.

However, after Sakuragi finished speaking, the entire locker room was silent for a long time, and everyone didn't know what to say in the face of Sakuragi, who suddenly apologized.

"Idiot, you're really obsessed with the number 10~~!!"

It was Rukawa Kaede who responded.

"I want to keep winning, but tonight I dragged everyone down, it's my fault!!"

Sakuragi said sincerely, and then bowed deeply to everyone. (To be continued.) )
