In the last five minutes of the first half, in the face of the two-man defense, Mitsui Shou broke out and got 20 points and 2 assists.
Watching Mitsui Shou and his teammates play and walk to the rest area, the Ninomiya players are helpless and powerless.
In this year's county competition, how did so many ace players emerge, such as the Great Demon King of Wako, Ryosuke Kojima, Muto Masashi of Hainan, and the one in front of him, Mitsui Shou of Takeshi Kunishi.
Intermission.
In the audience, Ryumasa and Sakuragi talk about the game.
"Ninomiya's high school forward is a stupid big man, blinding his height advantage, and every time he misjudges the basketball landing point."
Sakuragi gave Hirotai Suzuki a sex.
"Captain, if I play, don't even think about grabbing a rebound from Takeshi Kunichi." Sakuragi Hanamichi is full of confidence.
"Hehe" Ryumasa smiled, "Sakuragi, now what do you think of Mitsui Shou's ball skills?" β
"I don't have to say anything about my skills." Sakuragi Hanamichi touched the back of his head, "But give me time, I'm sure I'll be able to catch up with him." β
"Sakuragi" Ryumasa looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi and said thoughtfully, "How about having Mitsui join our training?" β
"Let this guy join us?"
Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Mitsui Shou in the rest area, "Captain, are you really optimistic about his talent?" β
"Hmm." Long Zheng nodded,
"Sakuragi, you also know that after the county competition is over, I will go to Europe with the national youth team to train, and you will be left alone at home. So, I want to bring Mitsui Shou in, and after I leave, the two of you can train together and supervise each other. β
"Oh." Hearing Ryumasa's words, Sakuragi was a little moved, it turned out that the captain was doing this for himself.
It's right to think about it, with the strength and talent of the captain, whether it's Mitsui Shou or himself, it doesn't play a role in improving the captain's strength. It is the national youth team that gathers the best young players in Japan that is the stage for the captain.
"Captain, with Mitsui Shou's stinky character, I'm afraid it's not easy to recruit him to join us?"
Speaking of this, Sakuragi Hanamichi was a little worried.
"I'm sure of that."
Long Zheng is full of confidence, with Mitsui Shou's proud and self-respecting character, as long as he defeats him head-on and shows the strength he can't reach, it will not be a problem to convince him.
"After the game, we'll go to him, and then you can look at the way I look."

"Drop!"
The referee blew the whistle, the break ended, and the game resumed.
Scramble for the ball, Hirotai Suzuki did not disappoint his teammates and successfully won the ball for the Ninomiya team.
Hit the inside line! At halftime, Coach Ninomiya made it clear that the ball would be passed into the penalty area in the second half and handed to high school striker Hirotai Suzuki, who would complete the final attack.
"Suzuki, catch the ball."
Near the penalty line, Sakai yelled and hoisted the ball into the box.
"Smack!"
Between the basketball and Hirotai Suzuki, a figure suddenly appeared and successfully broke the ball.
"It's Mitsui Shou!"
Sakai's face changed, and he glanced at scoring guard Seto and small forward Inohara, and quickly returned to defense.
"Three-person bag."
Mitsui held the ball past half the court, and Sakai, Seto, and Inohara quickly stepped forward and surrounded Mitsui Shoutuan. The breakthrough failed, and the corners of Mitsui Shou's mouth twitched.
"You second palace really looks up to me."
With a wave of his right hand, the basketball was passed to his teammates, and looking at the three people who still did not leave and continued to surround him, Mitsui felt bitter in his heart.
It's over, and in the first half, they beat Ninomiya too hard, so they were worried about it.
But except for the Great Demon King, there is no second person in the country who can break the three-person bag, and he can't be in the limelight anymore.
There is no playmaking guard in Takeshi Kunichu, and the ace player Mitsui Shou is both a playmaker and a scoring guard. The other four cannot be regarded as center forwards because of their lack of height, and their roles are actually forwards.
After Mitsui Shou passed the ball to his teammates, his teammates brought the ball into the interior line, and after running out of the open space, Takeshi No. 6 received the ball and completed the final shot, but unfortunately the basketball was a little off, smashed on the basket, bounced up, and was grabbed by high school forward Hirotai Suzuki for a defensive rebound.
At this time, the three people who defended Mitsui had already started and ran quickly towards the opponent's half, "Oh no! Mitsui Shou was shocked and chased after him.
A long pass, the basketball came to Sakai's hands, 3vs1 at halftime, Mitsui Shou was powerless, Sakai assisted Seto to play a layup, the ball went in, Ninomiya recovered two points, and the score came to 53:28.
........................................
Attack on Takeshi Kunichu.
At the three-point line, the three Seto surrounded Mitsui, looking at the three of them, Mitsui's face was solemn.
Fake a real pass, Mitsui creates an empty space in Inohara and passes the ball to his teammates.
"Mitsui, you're so naΓ―ve!"
Seto had already seen Mitsui's intentions, and suddenly appeared and reached out to break the basketball.
Next to Mitsui, Sakai and Inohara saw Seto break the ball and immediately started it.
In the middle half of Takeshi Kunishi, Sakai, Inohara, and Seto coordinated through passing, bypassed Mitsui Shou, and Sakai scored a goal, and the Ninomiya team once again scored 3vs1.
After the start of the second half, Mitsui Shou was completely prevented by the three-man joint defense, and the Ninomiya team chased four points in a row, and the score came to 53:30.
