Chapter 407: Another Good Opportunity for the Immortal Journey
readx;? As the defending champions, the journey of the new season of "Fukuyama Flying Waves" has begun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the first game of the new season, the Flying Waves played at home against the Sapporo Dragons.
Perhaps it was because of the excitement of the pre-match ceremony of awarding the championship diamond ring and raising the championship flag, after the start of the game, the players quickly got into the groove, and at the end of the first half, they were nearly 20 points ahead of their opponents.
In fact, the strength of the Flying Waves team is also above that of the Dragons.
But before the game, there was a small episode, and it seemed that the girl who had publicly confessed Sakuragi before appeared in the arena again.
Because of the capture of the big screen, it is now in a commotion.
Later, Slyer's words also confirmed that this girl was the confessing girl.
At halftime, the "confession girl" came directly to the players' tunnel and found Sakuragi.
After successfully asking for an autograph, the girl didn't seem satisfied.
"Hmm~~, in fact, my actions before were a little impulsive, I don't know if it didn't cause you trouble~!!"
The girl suddenly changed her tone like this, which also made Sakuragi a little embarrassed.
"Ah, ah~~ haha, it's okay, it's okay~!!haha~!!"
Sakuragi hesitated for a moment, then let out a rather awkward laugh again.
"That~~, if you say that, Mr. Sakuragi won't be disgusted with this way~!!"
The girl said excitedly as if she had won the lottery.
"Hmm~??what, what_"
Sakuragi was confused again.
"Great, Mr. Sakuragi, let's start with friends first, let's take our time~!! haha~!!"
The girl didn't pay attention to Sakuragi's thoughts at all, as if talking to herself, and was about to jump with joy.
āļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ā
But Sakuragi stood there speechless, really not knowing what to say.
"Okay, Mr. Sakuragi, you go back and rest quickly, prepare for the second half of the game, I will always cheer you on the sidelines~!!"
The girl was still quite excited, and after speaking, she jumped and turned to leave.
"What the hell is going on~~~"
At the scene, only the messy Sakuragi remained, and I believe that Sakuragi's mind is full of question marks now.
In this way, a member of the Fukuyama women's volleyball team, Natsume Gongmei, unknowingly became friends with Sakuragi Hanamichi, and, it seems, listening to the former's tone, it is not just friends.
Natsume is the main attacker in the team, and in life, he is also a person who is good at taking the initiative~!!
It seems that it's really good luck that can't be stopped, wait a minute, for Sakuragi, is this a good thing or a bad thing??
The future development of the two of them, with the passage of time, should have a rapid development.
Back to the game.
After the start of the second half, the Dragons' shooting percentage picked up slightly.
Sekiya used his strong body to kill the inside line in a row and walked to the free throw line.
But the Flying Waves did not relax on their side, Sakuragi, who did not play well in the first half, also found his form, perhaps unveiling the mystery of the "confession woman", Sakuragi was more focused on the game, not only scoring and rising, steals, and blocks were also proficient.
Coupled with Slyer's outside firepower and close tandem with Fujima, the Flying Waves team firmly occupied the initiative on the field.
And the advantage was extended to the end.
In the end, the Flying Waves didn't let the surprises come their way, and they took a solid step in defending their title with a home win over the Sapporo Dragons.
Although Sakuragi only scored 12 points, he grabbed 15 rebounds, which was also a double-double, in addition to 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, and his performance was also very comprehensive.
Slyer scored a game-high 30 points, and as the current Wave's team, the player with the most firepower on the outside (in the case of Fujima's removal from healthy basketball), Slyer's performance largely determines the trend of the Wave's team this season.
Simmons hit five three-pointers, and at some point, Simmons became a battery on the perimeter.
Simmons, who has returned from injury, will need time to adjust, and for him, health may be more important, after all, the new season has just begun.
And Fuji Zhen, who contributed 10 points and 8 assists, is still the soul of this team, and the data cannot describe the value of Fuji Zhen.
On the Dragons' side, Guan Gu scored a team-high 23 points, and also had 6 turnovers, Guan Gu's ability is there, as long as he corrects his mentality and handles the locker room relationship, he will help the Dragons more.
And rookie Akiyuki Matsuyama's debut was not so exciting, playing 12 minutes, 0 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 3 turnovers.
Matsuyama also had to adapt to the intensity and pace of the professional league.
The Dragons need to give Matsuyama more time and more opportunities.
And Oda Hayashiko, known as "Amu II", did not do as well as he could have been.
Oda has also played for a few seasons, but the speed of his growth is not as high as people expected.
Perhaps letting go of expectations can make it easier for fans and players to face the game. Maybe we could have played better.
The opening game of the JBA has ended in two games, and the new season has begun, while across the ocean in the United States, the NBA has already started multiple games.
The Indiana Pacers, where Sendo is located, have traveled to the far west to begin their annual back-to-back western road trips.
They have played back-to-back games in Los Angeles, losing first to the Lakers but then winning over the Los Angeles Clippers, their local brothers.
In the two games, Xiandao did not play more than ten minutes combined, and only scored two free throws for 2 points, although Xiandao is the current rotation player for the Pacers, but it is not easy to get more time.
Next, the Pacers will head to Phoenix, the third stop of their Western road trip, to take on the Suns there.
Before the game, there was a bad news from the Pacers, but it can't be said to be bad news, because it was from the "glass man" Granger, so everyone is used to it.
Perhaps as a result of the back-to-back play, Granger suffered a recurrence of his knee injury and returned to Indiana with his escort before the team left for Phoenix.
Looking at it, Granger is in a bit of a bad state.
Although this matter is terrible for the team, it is really another opportunity for Xiandao who aims to show himself.
With Granger out injured and Lance Stephenson in the starting line-up, and so on, the Sendo could get more playing time.
I still remember that last season, Xiandao was also not favored by head coach Vogel, until Granger was injured and Lance Stephenson was out of shape, and Xiandao finally entered Vogel's field of vision from the end of the bench.
Xiandao also lived up to expectations, and had a good performance after playing.
The substitutes who are called on in case of danger are like this, if they play well, they will stay on the field, and if they play badly, they will soon return to their cold bench again, so for this group of people, there is no concept of "making mistakes" in the eyes of the coach.
Opportunities are really fleeting, and if you want to be called, you have to wait until super garbage time.
Let's see if Immortal Dao can seize this God-given opportunity this time. (To be continued.) )
