Chapter 53: A New Battle of Kings?
Mitsui and Kaede Rukawa scored 78 points, accounting for the vast majority of the team's scores. This is a battle of individual ability and teamwork, and the performances of Mitsui Shou and Rukawa Kaede are certainly wonderful, but this kind of state is hard to come by. Fuji Zhen on the other side is also a master scorer, but he did not choose more individual offenses, and eleven points and fifteen assists are his statistics for the whole game. Statistically, Mitsui and Rukawa Kaede are not as dazzling, but he has always controlled the game in his own hands. Neither Ryota Miyagi nor Toru Hanagata are statistically impressive, but there is no doubt that the two are the absolute core of their respective teams and play a pivotal role in the game.
"Alright, everyone's going to warm up!" Two groups of people stood up in the stands, and of the two groups, two were the most conspicuous. The two men did not move with the flow of people, but stood still and looked into the field. One is Ah Shen of the Hainan team, and the other is Xian Daozhang of the Lingnan basketball team. The eyes of the two of them invariably looked at Fujima, and no matter which side won next, they would have to face another peak of Kanagawa.
"Immortal Dao!" Xiandao was in the field, leisurely casting blue, and a domineering voice sounded behind him, listening to the voice, this person felt a little confident multiplied by two.
"Brother Kiyota, do you have any advice?" Xiandao played with the ball in his hand, asked politely, and after speaking, he used his index finger as a fulcrum and turned the ball.
"It's just a matter of coming over and saying hello, Rukawa Kaede has been eliminated, it seems that a legend is a legend after all, and the new king of Kanagawa will not be an immortal." Kiyota Nobunaga learned the appearance of Xiandao, and also turned the ball in his hand, as if it was a game, and changed from one finger to another as if showing off, playing obviously more slippery than Xiandao.
"Hmm~ very likely!" Xiandao has a calm mind, and he doesn't show any hostility at all towards Kiyota Nobunaga, who came to provoke. "Maybe it's a god, but it's not necessarily."
“……… Ah~~ Of course God is possible......." Originally, Kiyota Nobunaga wanted to say that it was his own, but he was choked by Xiandao saying this, and with his friendship with Ah Shen, Xiandao really couldn't refute what Xiandao said. "Ah Shen will be one of them, and Ah Shen and I will be Kanagawa's new twin walls!" With a high degree of inflated self-confidence, Xiandao smiled slightly.
"That god is really pitiful...... Fukuda didn't know where the road came from, obviously eavesdropping for a while, and Kiyota Nobunaga, who was angry at the first sentence, smoked.
"What are you talking about here?" One of the protagonists of the topic, Ichiro Shinso, also came over, beckoning to Xiandao and Fukuda in a friendly manner, with a well-behaved face.
"We're talking about you." Xiandao and Futian replied in unison, Ah Shen was confused, and he didn't seem to have much to talk about.
Between the two teams of Hainan and Lingnan, there is no "blood feud" like Xiangbei and Xiangyang. The biggest contradiction is just the secret competition between the two uncles, which is not for the players to get together to chat, and the two coaches are not willing to be lonely and get together.
"You don't have to be proud in front of me, Naito's qualifications are actually quite mediocre, I want him to be just a transitional product at most, and the difference between having and not is not very big." Gao Tou's face was full of indifference, and his tone was full of ridicule for Shigeichi Taoka.
"Really? Sure enough, the grapes that can't be eaten are sour. Shigeichi Kooka raised his eyebrows and smiled even more proudly.
"Lingnan is an upstart at best, I want to be proud in front of me, wait until you win the runner-up in the national competition." The high head is very unfriendly~ Very ungraceful pat, Shigeichi Taoka stretched out his hand, turned around and prepared to go back to the rest area in Hainan. "What are you two talking about when you two don't practice?" Turning around, his eyes swept over the field, and he happened to see Kiyota Nobunaga and Ah Shen there, chatting with the players in Lingnan, and venting this bit of depression in his heart to the two of them.
Shigeru Tagioka's face when he looked at his player was not good-looking, and he could accept it if he lost to anyone, but he couldn't lose to Hainan, otherwise he didn't know if he would squeeze himself to death.
Five minutes before the start of the game, the players of both sides were called together, and the coach made the most difficult mobilization. Gao Touli: "I still say the same thing, for so many years~ There are countless teams in Kanagawa who want to beat us, but no one has done it. I've sent a lot of players, but I've always believed that the next generation will keep surpassing them. We don't despise any opponent, but for any team, we must have the determination to win, and the last winner must be us, because we are the king of Hainan! ”
Shigeichi Taoka: "Never underestimate the heart of a champion, for now, we are still a challenger. You are the best players in my eyes, you work hard and you sweat more than any other opponent. You have been tempered by the Autumn Realm, and now you have the capital to defeat any opponent. Today in Kanagawa belongs to Lingnan, and beating them to reach the final is the only purpose of our time here. ”
The two sides did their best, and the game was about to start. Tetsuya Naito, who was standing in the middle circle and jumping the ball, could feel that he was looking at his resentful gaze with a high head. And the Hainan center in front of him was even more hostile to him. This match is an opportunity for Tetsuya Naito to prove himself. Proving that he is not here to hug Xiandao's thighs and proving that he is not wrong in choosing Lingnan, the competition has a special meaning for him.
Hainan's center forward is a few centimeters shorter Naito, and his height has been Hainan's hard injury in the past two years, as are the departed Takasago and Muto. He has been sitting at the end of the bench in Hainan in obscurity, and he has always been proud to be a member of the Hainan team. At the same time, the withdrawal of the third grade made him look forward to the future. However, the scandal between Hainan and Naito deeply hurt and inspired him. For him, this match is also a battle of proof, and he is definitely no less than Naito.
The referee threw the ball high into the air, the two jumped up one after another, Naito touched the ball first, and flicked the ball towards his own backcourt, and the game officially began. The referee's opening whistle did not fall, and the situation on the field changed abruptly, and Zhicao was about to get the ball in his hand, but it was actually taken away by a gust of wind.
Planting grass only felt that the basketball was taken away in a flash. The off-road on the side looked carefully, and the first to react rushed over to stop Kiyota Nobunaga. Except for the two people who attacked and defended, the rest of the people on the field were still in a static state, and they didn't know what was going on.
Kiyota Nobunaga went straight to the basket with the ball, and did his best off-road, trying hard to force Kiyota Nobunaga, wanting him to deviate ~ not too comfortable to shoot. As a bystander, Shigeichi Taoka saw clearly, slightly dissatisfied with the carelessness of planting grass, and more amazed by Kiyota Nobunaga's speed, and the off-road repair made him feel a little comforted.
The high head force can also be seen clearly, the off-road reaction is fast, and good results are achieved. Kiyota Nobunaga, who was originally straight into the basket, gradually deviated from the direction under the pressure of off-road, but he always had a smile on his face.
