Chapter 121: One Man's Finals
In the first round of the JBA League playoffs, the ninja team and the Jaguar team, who are the closest in the rankings, played a very tight match, and the fourth game between the two sides was quite anxious.
In the last offense, Sakuragi took the ball and faced an unguarded empty basket, and actually threw the "common people layup"!!
Such a low-level mistake caused the Jaguar team to lose the game, and it was a pity to end the season's journey.
After the game, Sakuragi looked very annoyed and knelt on the floor for a long time.
After a while, Sakuragi finally returned to the locker room.
"I'm really sorry, it's my fault!!"
"We've played really well this season without Akagi!! We will definitely be better next season!! ”
Mitsui walked over, picked up Sakuragi and said.
"Everybody,,,"
Seeing everyone's warmth like this, Sakuragi gradually reduced his inferiority complex.
"It's not scary to lose the game!! Losing faith is the scariest thing!! ”
Sakuragi lowered his head again and said, this time, Sakuragi was in a very serious tone.
"That's right, stupid, practice well in the summer!!"
Seeing that Sakuragi was relieved, Akagi said with relief.
"It's normal for a big idiot like you to not be able to score, and I really don't blame you!!"
Rukawa Kaede suddenly made up for it.
"You guy!! Say what!!! Damn it!!! ”
Sakuragi completely regained his spirit because of Rukawa Kaede's words, and the Jaguar team finally returned to its former team atmosphere!!
That's it, the Jaguar team's journey this season is over, there must be regrets, but for most people, it's more hope, young hope, hope for the future!!
After the Jaguar team lost to the ninjas, the first round of the playoffs was also decided, with the Antlers sweeping the Tokyo Great White Sharks 3-0 and the Rover beating Hokkaido Lavender 3-1.
Fukuyama Flying Waves was the last to advance, and eliminated the Osaka Iron Horse Team 3:2 in a thrilling manner.
The semi-finals will be played by Antlers against Ninjas, and Rover against Wyver!!
In the semi-finals, the Antlers once again showed terrifying combat effectiveness, defeating the ninja team 3:1 like chopping melons and vegetables, and once again reached the finals.
On the Rover's side, in the semi-finals, because of the injury of center forward Chisato Watanabe, his strength was greatly damaged, and even if Xiandao was brave, it was difficult to defeat the entire team of Feilang.
At 3:0, the Flying Waves team unexpectedly swept the Wanderers of the Immortal Road, and reached the finals again in many years, this time, the person who challenged Amu was replaced by Kenji Fujima!
The Fukuyama Flying Waves have never won a JBA championship yet, let's see if this time the new king is crowned, or the Antlers make a dynasty!!
The finals are still a 2-2-1-1-1 format, and the Antlers have been bloodless in the first two home games, almost all of which ended the game in a slaughtering way, and the two games combined to score a total of 54 points!!
This also set a record for the largest score difference in the first two games of the finals!!
It seems that everything is heralding the birth of the Antler Dynasty!!
The third game of the finals came to Fukuyama, and the Flying Waves had no way out.
"Don't give up, there are teams in history that have come back after 0:2, this is our home stadium, we have to defend the home stadium!!"
Wave coach Hiroo Moriyama motivates the morale of the team, 0:3 and 1:2 are two concepts!!
After the opening, the Flying Waves team was still suppressed by the Antlers team, especially Ah Mu, who couldn't find the art to break the enemy last year, and now it's the Flying Wave's turn to solve it.
After halftime, the Antlers again led 58-44.
If the Flying Waves want to reverse the score, it is difficult to defend alone, and only if they get more points than the Antlers can they have any hope!!
The second half of the game begins.
Fujima dribbled the ball, and it should have been Akiyama Jiyasu who was supposed to defend against him, but in view of Akiyama's defense, the Antlers still used Kiyota to defend Fujima.
Swift, the big forward of the flying waves, stepped forward to block and dismantle Fujima, and after the change of defense, it became Fujima against Swift.
Fuji Zhen's continuous crotch dribbling, like a butterfly piercing a flower, Amu can only retreat frequently, Fuji Zhen suddenly accelerated, and used a "roller coaster" to directly pass Amu!!
Ah Mu is like a tiger being played by monkeys, he is in a hurry, but he can't exert his strength!!
After passing Amu, Fuji Shin made a small throw!!
"Brush!!"
Signature Fujima goal!!
The offense can be scored, it depends on the defense!!
"Defense~~ Defense!!"
The fans of the Flying Waves team give the team the greatest support, although they have fallen behind 0:2, but I believe that no one will give up!!
After the Antlers team came back, the attack was a little simpler, and Kiyota carried it around alone, and he didn't find a good opportunity!!
"Bell!!"
In the end, Kiyota forced a three-point shot and hit the iron.
Fujiwara took off the rebound and handed it to Fujima, who dribbled quickly and killed the frontcourt, it seems that Fujima wants to speed up!!
Kiyota's speed was also very fast, keeping up with Fujima, but Fujiwara followed up quickly, and the two quickly made a blocking and dismantling cooperation, but this time Kiyota quickly bypassed the blocking and dismantling and re-defended Fujima!!
But at this time, Fujima had already handed the ball to Fujiwara, who pulled back the empty space!!
After Fujiwara got the ball, he didn't hesitate to shoot three points!!
You know, Fujiwara's three-point shot is very unreliable, and the shooting rate at the three-point line is only 21.8% all season!!
But at this stage, when chasing points, you really need a three-point shot.
"Brush!!"
"Oh~~ Three points in!! Fujiwara's three-point shot!! What a surprise!! Now whoever it is, as long as they can score the ball!! It can also help Fujima share some of the offensive pressure!! ”
The narrator shouted in surprise.
In fact, the outside three-point firepower of the Feilang team is indeed very weak, and they only have one real shooter~~ Mu Dui Gongyan, and only Mu Du has a stable three-point grasp!!
Therefore, if Fujiwara, including Fujima, can open the outside three-pointer, it will be a great help to the Flying Waves!!
After the Flying Waves scored two goals in a row, the difference between the two sides returned to single digits.
Ah Mu looked at the tone as if he was accusing Qingtian, Qingtian is sometimes hot-headed, and it is indeed easy to fight nonsense, for finals-level games, you can't relax for a minute or a second!!
The Antlers came back to attack, and Amu hit Swift with the ball on his back, and Swift had done well enough in the previous game, but Amu was like a programmed machine.
Score the ball again and again!!
"Bell!!"
But this time the machine seems to have malfunctioned, and the ball came out.
The Antlers' outside shooting percentage is down, and that's the Wave's chance!!
Fuji Shin rushed to grab the rebound and accelerated to the front court again!!
Fuji's purpose is obvious, which is to quickly attack the front court and play a Antlers team's defensive foothold is not stable.
Fuji Zhen is quite fast, this time it was Mu Twilight who followed, and Fuji Zhen saw this and went directly to the basket, and after attracting three people to defend, Fuji Zhen distributed the ball to Mu Twilight who was waiting at the bottom corner three-point line.
Mu Twilight three-point shot!!
"Brush!!"
"Three points again!! Pretty!! The Flying Waves' outside three-point line finally opened, scoring three goals in a row, and pulling the suspense of the game back again!! ”
The Waves have been waiting for a two-game opportunity to finally arrive, and the sudden burst of three-point firepower will make the Antlers change their defensive strategy??!!
"Yay~~!!"
Before the fans stopped cheering for the three-point shot by Mu Dusk before, Fuji Zhen directly cut off Kiyota's baseline serve!!
Although he was already under the basket, Fujima was very calm, and after transporting it out, he gave it to Fujiwara, who rushed back.
After Fujiwara got the ball, he stood at the 45-degree three-point line and made a decisive three-point shot again!!
"Brush~~!!"
"Three points and then go in~~!!"
The commentary on the scene has gone crazy, and the final word has a long tone!!
The Flying Waves suddenly rained three-pointers without any warning, hitting three three-pointers in a row, and the difference between the two sides was only 3 points!!
"Steady, steady!! All right??!! ”
Amu said to Kiyota with a longing look.
Kiyota's recent performance is indeed a bit impatient, maybe the weak link of the Antlers is Kiyota's mentality!!
After the start of the third quarter, the Flying Waves team's sudden outbreak of outside firepower was out of control, and the score was not only overtaken by the Flying Waves team in the following time, but also slowly expanded!!
