Chapter 119: The Battle of Xiangpeng

In the face of the influx of the media, Sakuragi Hanamichi behaved very maturely, and simply withdrew after a perfunctory time. There was no getting carried away, no grandiose rhetoric, and no challenge to Mori Shigekuan through the media. The media felt disappointed, although they didn't think Xiangbei would beat the famous friends, but they hoped to create some gimmicks for the matchup between the two teams.

The much-anticipated semi-finals were on the verge of breaking out, and both teams were calm before the game. Famous friends have long been accustomed to this level of attention, and since Mori Shigekuan caused a sensation, every game has been full of spectators, and the flashing lights are endless. Xiangbei's calmness is not like Yano Industries, which has given up the game since last year's fierce battle with the Mountain King to the last second. Xiangbei no longer knows what the tension is, in the hearts of Miyagi and others, no matter how strong the famous friends are, they are definitely worse than last year's mountain king. As for the victory or defeat, there are too many factors that determine the game, and even if they win last year's Mountain King, Miyagi and others still feel that the Mountain King is stronger in their hearts.

Coach Anzai did not stay up all night thinking about countermeasures like last year, for Mingpeng and Mori Shigekuan, Coach Anzai has listened too much, plus the observation since the start of the game, Anzai's heart seems to be confident, which also gives the players more confidence.

"The main point of attack in this game is Miyagi!" Before the start of the game, Coach Anzai finally confided in his strategy, which surprised all the players, including Miyagi.

Miyagi didn't speak, nodding in acceptance. He has always appeared as an organizer, and Miyagi is also a little eager to try this new role that Coach Anzai has positioned himself.

Others were puzzled. I thought it would be like Hainan, with Rukawa Kaede as the main point of attack, using Kudo Shinichi's non-passing and Rukawa Kaede's personal ability. Come and fight against famous friends. Even if you don't take advantage of Rukawa Kaede, it should be Sakuragi who has just attracted attention, and in terms of offensive ability and grasp, Sakuragi is also comparable to Rukawa Kaede.

"No matter how flexible Mori is, his height and weight are always a limit." After determining Miyagi as the main point of attack, Coach Anzai paused to give the players time to calm down. Then the layout continues. "Miyagi, my request to you is that no matter if the opponent misses the counterattack. Or the normal offensive transition of the opponent's score, it must be fast. Miyagi thought for a moment and understood.

"You don't have to wait for anyone, you have to push quickly, try to compress the time to complete the attack in less than 10 seconds." Coach Anthy talks about his strategy in detail. Once again, it caused an uproar among the players. Ten seconds to complete the attack from the back to the front, plus the opponent's interference, is a really difficult task.

"Wrap it up on me." Miyagi seemed to understand, and instead of being confused at the beginning, he patted his chest confidently.

"Defensively, Tsunoda defends Mori Shigekan first, and if the ball is in the hands of Mori Shigekuan, he immediately rotates to the bag. Give up the defense against Shinichi Kudo. "Coach Anthy is not only amazing in attack, but also in defense. Shinichi Kudo. From the start of the game to the present, there are more than 40 points per game, and such a strong point has to be let go.

After saying this, Coach Anzai didn't say much, and the players, out of trust in the coach, no longer thought about the reasonableness of doing so, but began to think about what they should do at both the offensive and defensive ends.

Mingpeng didn't say too much, in their opinion, Hainan is a strong enemy, and the current opponent of Kanagawa should not be more difficult to deal with than Hainan. Coach Mingpeng said in a cliché that everyone should hand over the ball to the inside line. Almost no one heard it in their hearts, and it was Shinichi Kudo who had been dominating the ball. Everyone else is trying to survive in the cracks, and the two uncles can't afford to provoke them, and it's always them who are scolded.

At the beginning of the game, Mingpeng successfully won the ball for the first attack, and everything looked normal. The famous point guard first handed the ball to the inside master Mori Shigekuan, and before passing the ball, he looked at Kudo Shinichi, the uncle, who may have consumed too much in the last game, and it looks like he is not ready to go crazy today.

Mori Shigekuan received the ball and pressed it inward, and Tsunoda flew away like a residual leaf in the wind. This made the teammates who were rushing over to help defend it, and it was too late, and the Xiangbei players looked at the referee one after another, and Mori Chongkuan scored a one-handed slam dunk.

"Referee, let me inquire, did Mori Shigekuan throw our players into the stands to be whistled for a foul?" Miyagi, as the captain, expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee, but his attitude was very good~ with a smile.

"It's just a normal physical confrontation, you can't just complain about someone fouling just because you're not strong, can you?" The referee also communicated with Miyagi kindly.

"It's an acceptable goal, but hopefully the referee will be aware of the foul by Mori Shigekuan." Miyagi is putting pressure on the referee, hoping that the referee's scale can be tighter, at least not looser, after his own protests.

Patronizing and chatting with the referee, Miyagi even forgot about the coach's arrangement. After all, the change is too big, and Miyagi hasn't adapted to it for a while, and he's still in the role of the former organizer. After chatting, Miyagi habitually glanced at Ayako outside the court, and under Caiko's fierce gaze, Miyagi remembered the pre-game arrangement and stuck out his tongue.

Mingpeng's defense had already taken a position, and the first attack in Xiangbei had to be a tough battle. It was a familiar positional battle for Miyagi, who first put the ball in the hands of Sakuragi on the inside. Sakuragi faced the defense of Mori Shigekuan, and Mori Shigekan still had an impression of Sakuragi, but it was only a glimpse of last year.

The media and experts A, B, C and D paid special attention to this matchup, and the performance of Sakuragi Hanamichi last time was particularly eye-catching~ It was amazing, they all wanted to see if Sakuragi Hanamichi's offensive methods still worked on Mori Shigekuan.

Sakuragi took the ball and turned his head to look at the position of Rukawa Kaede, and then slapped the ball to Mori Shigekuan's body, Mori Shigekuan stepped forward to meet Sakuragi, and the two had a close contact. Compared to Mikio Kawada, Mori Shigekuan's body is not so soft. Facing an opponent who was a head taller than himself, Sakuragi still did not hesitate at all. The rehearsal on Mikio Kawada filled Sakuragi with confidence.

I saw Sakuragi Hanamichi, and after making contact with Mori Shigekuan's body, he half-turned to the side of Mori Shigekuan. Leaning on the other side of the body, he raised his foot and raised his hand, and the golden rooster came to shoot with a hook hand independently. Mori Shigekuan, who is tall and long-armed, jumped up to block the block, and under the support of Sakuragi Hanamichi, he had no way to block Sakuragi's shot, so he could only try to destroy it at the high point. But the arc of the ball was too high, and Mori Shigehiro didn't touch the ball.

"Sure enough, it's still a hook, even Mori Shigekuan can't do anything?" Expert A seems to have expected it, but he is still surprised. Sakuragi's hook in the last game surprised everyone, and this kind of technique is very rare in the high school world.

"Maybe it's too sudden, and Kuan needs to get used to it." Expert B is obviously a fan of Mori Shigekuan, and he is not mentally prepared for the ball that Sakuragi hit just now, which boils down to Mori Shigekuan.

"I really didn't expect Kanagawa to have this person, I heard that he is in the second grade this year, I don't know what Lu Dao was last year, I don't have any impression of him? From his performance in the last game, he should be able to lead the team to the national competition. Expert C is also very interested in Sakuragi, looking at the Sakuragi running in front of him, he is very expert in appreciating it.

"Maybe he didn't learn to hook his hand last year, but Kanagawa has always been the world of Hainan." Expert Ding answered for Expert C, and in his heart, Hainan is synonymous with Kanagawa.

"How is that possible? His hook technique is so proficient, and the hit rate is quite good, if he hadn't practiced it to such a level in a year last year, unless he was a genius, it would never have been possible. Expert C disagreed, and retorted from his professional point of view.

There was a lot of talk among the experts, and there was no time to chat on the field. Mori Shigehiro's inside line succeeded again, and Tsunoda remained the main target of destruction. In front of Mori Shigekuan, Tsunoda remembered the scene when he faced Nobe last year. I didn't expect that my year's hard training would be so insignificant in front of Mori Chongkuan.

Miyagi didn't get distracted this time, and immediately after Mori Shigekuan got the shot, he immediately took his teammate's serve. Miyagi, with the ball, passed through the famous friends walking back like an arrow from the string. This made them all stunned, and the famous friends who walked in the front were their subdivisions, and in the greeting of their teammates, they hurriedly wanted to stop Miyagi.

Miyagi understands that Coach Anzai, the given time, is just to make him attack more resolutely. Miyagi, who became the captain, has become more confident and mature in the past year. Facing the opponent who stood up to defend himself, Miyagi did not slow down at all, as if he was about to run over the opponent.

Miyagi's actions strengthened the opponent's determination, and he stood firmly at the moment ~ his legs were differentiated, ready to have a head-on collision with Miyagi, and build Miyagi's dribbling to hit people. Seeing that the two were about to collide, Miyagi's body suddenly floated to the left, and he switched the ball from behind to his left hand. After moving sideways to avoid the opponent, and the opponent was too steady to react, Miyagi took another step and hit the board with a low right hand to make a layup.

Miyagi succeeded, the players of the famous friends had just run back, and the players of Xiangbei had only reached the middle line. After the goal, Miyagi was very excited, and his eyes looked at the bench of famous friends and walked back. I am very happy with Coach Anthy's arrangement, who said that he can only pass the ball, today my brother will show you the scoring pattern of my brother.

"Cut, sneak attack to score a goal is like the New Year, countryman." Kudo Shinichi said to Miyagi very disdainfully when he walked past him.

"Countrymen are always better than copycat Zebei, how can you say that I am original!" Miyagi glanced at Kudo Shinichi, who knew that Kudo Shinichi was crazy when he watched the game before, but he didn't expect it to be like this, and Miyagi replied without showing weakness.
