Chapter 648: Shoulder
With two rounds left in the regular season and a break in between, there are less than 10 days left before the playoffs begin. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Without the possibility of qualifying for the playoffs, the team is now in the rhythm of the "countdown to the holiday".
The long holidays are "opening their arms" to them.
Although I don't want to take a holiday so early, but there is no way to do it, this is the rule of the game, and there must be eliminated players.
Teams that have already qualified for the playoffs have already started preparing for the playoffs, and they are simulating the teams they might meet and the opponents they might meet.
However, because there are still some unknowns in the top eight standings, some teams will have to play the last two regular season games well and go all out.
The Flying Waves, which are only one win ahead of fifth-place Kornglory, are the team that must win the next game.
I thought they were going to settle down for the final home advantage.
The team practiced at the training base in Fukuyama.
"How does an ankle feel~!??"
Sakuragi asked about Fujima, who was also sweating next to him.
"It's okay, although if you push harder, it's fine. But I still don't dare to take too much risk~!!!After all, good steel should be used on the blade~!!"
Fujima said as he untied his shoelaces and the layers of bandages that had wrapped around the bandage on his left foot.
For example, a defender like Fuji Zhen who is good at breaking through and is very fast in speed and amplitude has considerable loss of ankles and knees~!!! Once there is a relatively large injury, it is difficult to return to the state before the injury.
While talking, Sakuragi, who was resting here, came to the office of the team's general manager Ehara.
"You're looking for me~??"
Sakuragi saw that the door was not closed, so he went in directly by touching the door, looked at Ehara who was writing on the workbench and asked.
"Oh~!Sakuragi, come so fast, sit down~~"
Judging by Gangwon's reaction, it seems that it is nothing serious.
"That's right, the playoffs are about to start, I don't know how you prepare, but I think this year is a very good year for us to hit the championship~!!"
Ehara suddenly changed to a "coach" tone, which made Sakuragi a little uncomfortable.
"This~~~"
Sakuragi was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ehara's continued speech.
"We have a well-organized team now, and we have all played together for a long time, and we have already developed enough tacit understanding with each other. And we have a lot of experience, so, Sakuragi, let's go for your second crown~!!"
Ehara seems to be cheering for Sakuragi with an "absolutely encouraged" tone.
"Hmm~!! I will~!!"
Although Sakuragi was a little confused about Ehara's words at first, when he heard the exciting words "second crown", Sakuragi instantly turned into a "serious face" and replied seriously.
"Haha~!!Sakuragi, you won't feel very strange when I said this suddenly~!!"
Jiang Yuan also asked tentatively.
"No~!!!It's going to be the playoffs soon, no matter whether we can get home advantage or not, we have to go all out, that's no doubt~!!"
Sakuragi said.
"Okay~!!Sakuragi, I really think that I was absolutely right to choose you at that time~!!"
Ehara said happily.
"It's just ~!!"
"Huh~??"
Sakuragi's turning tone made Ehara nervous.
"It's just that the home advantage must be ours~!!"
Sakuragi added.
It turned out that Sakuragi was just joking.
Here Sakuragi was encouraged by Gangwon, and the desire to fight was promoted again~~
In the penultimate round of the game, the Flying Waves will sit at the Green Coast Arena at home and face the Green Pythons, who missed the playoffs.
The Green Python team is still the main force to play, after all, there are mostly young players in the team, and the training stage of the regular season must not be missed, and it is a strong team like the Feilang team, and the value of exercise is also greater~!!
The main players of the Green Python team here are like Uchiyama Naga-braided with pigtails, and Ishihara Chao and Fukatsu are all listed.
There is also a rookie who has performed fairly well this season, Genji Sunado, nicknamed "Sharpe".
From these players, it can be seen that the management of the Green Python team has maintained a high degree of consistency in the selection of players over the years.
The first is that this player must have a "stocky body", because the Green Python team is a team that emphasizes defense very much, so it is necessary to have a body that can defend, from Uchiyama Nagatomi to Sunado Motoji.
Then there's the fact that these players are "team" players.
They are all very "disciplined" players and never go against the will of the coach, which is something that rarely happens.
So on the whole, the Green Python team is a team with "strong discipline", "strong tacticality", and "strong team spirit", except for the lack of superstars, they already have the foundation of a strong team.
It is precisely for this reason that this team has been unpopular all these years.
"Du~!!!"
"Bang Bang~!!Brush~!!"
While talking, Sakuragi here was a strong hit to Sunado Genji on the inside, and after faking to deceive, he scored the ball and caused Sundo's foul.
As a rookie, Sunato, is still not as experienced as Sakuragi, who is the champion.
The game had come to the end of the second quarter, and Sakuragi had already scored 16 points, which was quite good, and it seemed that Gangwon's encouragement had played a role.
But isn't this kind of encouragement a little early~
"Brush~!!"
Sakuragi's penalty is scored.
At 50:40, the Waves were just 10 points ahead.
"Brush~!!"
Here, Fukatsu Kazunari's breakthrough hit the basket, and the Flying Waves' defense thought Fukatsu would pass the ball, but Fukatsu made a quick layup and hit a layup unexpectedly.
Fukatsu's progress is indeed quite obvious, especially in terms of individual offense, which has grown a lot in recent seasons.
However, at the end of the first half, the Flying Waves still took the lead.
After the start of the second half, the Flying Waves team still controlled the initiative on the field and controlled the rhythm of the game.
Here, Sakuragi received the ball on the inside again, and used a feint to shake off the jumping Sundo.
Sakuragi is simply concocted in this way.
"Damn~!!!"
Here, "Sharpi" was a little enraged, and after jumping, he didn't try to avoid Sakuragi, but pressed down with both hands, and directly "smashed" Sakuragi, who was about to shoot.
Sundo's foul this time was indeed very thorough, although Sakuragi made a shooting action, but it was directly "smashed" by Sundo.
"Toot ~ !!"
The referee blew the whistle quickly and gave a foul on the shot.
"Yay~!!! pop~!!"
The audience also encouraged Sakuragi's performance with applause and cheers.
But such cheers and applause did not last long, because everyone found that the situation was not quite right, Sakuragi was supposed to go to the free throw line to prepare for the free throw, but after Sakuragi was "smashed" by Sundo, he bent over, as if he was out of breath, and touched his left shoulder with his right hand, and his expression seemed to be very painful.
"This is a scene we don't want to see, the playoffs will start soon, even if the next two games are lost, no one will have an unexpected situation~!!"
The narrator became worried.
"It's okay, Sakuragi~??"
"Shoulder, shoulder hurts so much~!!"
