Chapter 105: Half Time Ends

Sendo's eyes hit Naito, and after Naito received the signal, he pretended to be helpless and let Tsunoda stand in front of him. While Xiandao's gaze drifted to the top of the circle, he suddenly raised his hand as if he was about to pass the ball to the inside. Rukawa Kaede had been waiting for this moment for a long time, jumping up like a spring, and actually planned to take down this pass directly.

Rukawa Kaede jumped into the air, but the ball in Xiandao's hand did not leave his hand. Retracting his raised arm, Sendo made a powerful through pass with his left hand, and the ball flew to the free throw line. Fukuda, who was followed by Sakuragi, received the ball near the free throw line and did not pause ~ turned sideways and sent a blow to the ground with both hands. Naito seems to have been prepared, Xiandao passed to Fukuda who was running, Fukuda passed to the basket, and he was ready to go. Taking a step towards the basket, he just received a pass from Fukuda, who was just in front of Naito, but now he was behind him.

In such a position, in such a situation, even if you change to Akagi, you will be helpless. Tsunoda was very calm and did not rush to foul, Naito took the ball and jumped up with both hands to dunk and score.

"Lingnan's cooperation is good!" Mitsui frowned, as if he was a little worried about the situation on the field.

"Well, it should be a practiced fit." Mu Du Gongyan looked at Lingnan's bench and said. "It seems that they are very well prepared, and they have already planned to make a fuss around Kakuda."

"I don't blame you for this ball, Tsunoda!" Miyagi gave Tsunoda a baseline kick and comforted him, the game had just begun, and Miyagi didn't want Tsunoda to be depressed early.

"I know, do I want to go around the front to defend?" Tsunoda was beaten twice in a row and is now a little overwhelmed. I asked Miyagi for his opinion.

"Just follow your feelings, we won't watch them bully you, you're not fighting alone." Miyagi said that it was half over. Tsunoda also ran to the inside.

Miyagi passed the ball to Sakuragi Hanamichi again, and Xiangbei is basically every game now, starting from Sakuragi on the inside. Offense is the best defense, and having Sakuragi consume Naito on the offensive end can also take the pressure off Tsunoda on the defensive end.

After receiving the ball, Sakuragi made a false swing to the ball, and then forcibly leaned on Naito to break through to the inside. Sakuragi didn't protrude too deeply, so as not to form a double bag between Naito and Fukuda for himself. Break through to an emergency stop halfway through, and make a back turn movement. Naito, who had just been hit by Sakuragi's back turn and jump shot, held back his strength and took a step back in unison with Sakuragi. Jump high to cap. It was just a little bit worse, and this time Naito was determined to make up for that gap.

Naito jumped enough to cover Sakuragi, but the tragedy was that Sakuragi's back turned only halfway, and then turned halfway and turned back. And Naito couldn't take it anymore. He jumped into the air. I can only watch Sakuragi dodge himself and pick up the basket with one hand.

"It's beautiful! Akagi, will you do this? Mitsui once again applauded Sakuragi's score, and at the same time asked Akagi in passing.

"No!" Akagi had a dark face and replied loudly, he should have been happy when Sakuragi scored, but he was not happy at all when he was made by Mitsui.

Also in a bad mood is Naito, who thought he could prevent this ball, but was easily scored by Sakuragi after the worst. I wasted my strength in vain. The effect was not as good as the previous goal, which made the joy of his score disappear together. I took four points myself. The opponent also took four points, and everything turned into a futile one.

In Lingnan's third attack, Xiandao did not choose Naito as the attack point like the previous two times. is full of iron and can grind a few nails, Xiangbei is obviously consuming Naito at both offensive and defensive ends, and if it is consumed like this, Lingnan's advantage in the inner line will be gone. And the pressure on Naito's defensive side is definitely not as easy as it seems on the first shot.

Xiandao signaled his teammates to run tactically, and after running through the interspersed without the ball, Xiandao passed the ball to Zhicao, who ran out of the opportunity, and Zhicao was in good condition and shot Lingnan to add two more points.

Lingnan has changed its playing style, and Xiangbei is no longer simply playing Sakuragi. Miyagi added breaks, frequently rushed to the inside to disrupt Lingnan's defense, and then passed the ball to his teammates to score. Both teams were bayonets from the start, neither of them would back down, and the score alternated leads.

In the last goal of the first half, Xiangbei's offensive possession, Lingnan temporarily led by one point. The players on both sides were extremely draining, and the game was very anxious from the start, leaving the spirits of both players in a state of high tension all the time, and playing under such pressure naturally exacerbated fatigue.

Miyagi dribbled the ball to the front court and distributed it to Yasuda on the wing, while pointing to Sakuragi under the basket. Now Sakuragi is one of the two most reliable scoring points in Xiangbei, and his teammates pulled Yasuda away and firmly handed the ball into the hands of Sakuragi on the inside.

Under the deliberate protection of Xiandao, Naito still consumes a lot, in addition to the single defense Sakuragi~ but also take into account Miyagi and Rukawa Kaede, who break through from time to time, plus the scramble for rebounds, Naito's task is extremely heavy. Sakuragi is not much better, he is no longer the rebounding king he used to be, and the protection of rebounds can only rely on judgment and early positioning, coupled with the entanglement with Naito on the offensive end, Sakuragi is also sweating.

After receiving the ball, Sakuragi leaned on Naito's body, took two deep breaths, and rested to recuperate his strength. "Rukawa Kaede!" Sakuragi leaned on Naito's body and suddenly turned his head and spoke. Naito spent the entire first half defending Sakuragi Hanamichi, and in addition to the scoring that gave him a headache, Sakuragi's passing was also elusive, often attracting his own defense and distributing the ball to his teammates who cut into the air, so that Naito had no time to make up for it.

Under the influence of Sakuragi's turn of head, Naito didn't fully believe it, but he still glanced at it with his peripheral vision. The middle lane was empty, and no one was cutting in at all. Just when Naito was distracted, Sakuragi took a step forward with the dribble and turned around to shoot. Naito was already wary of this, and as soon as Sakuragi's body separated from him slightly, Naito followed.

In the last goal of the first half, Naito gritted his teeth and tried his best to defend it, and the one-point lead was also a lead. Sakuragi's scoring method is not the first time it has been used in front of Naito, using the outward stride to open up the distance, and then carrying the shot backwards, which is very difficult to block.

Seeing Sakuragi raise his hand, Naito leaned over and struggled forward to jump forward to cover it. As a result, Sakuragi didn't jump up at the first time, and when he saw Naito flying over, Sakuragi retracted it down, and then really jumped. The hands holding the ball slammed into Naito's arm, the referee's whistle sounded, and Sakuragi took advantage of the momentum to throw the ball out.

He didn't shoot but got two free throws, and Sakuragi had a chance to score a jumper, and he was sure of it. It's just that this kind of deception foul not only kills and injures the opponent, but also saves a lot of effort. Naito gritted his teeth and watched Sakuragi walk to the free throw line, he really didn't want to play with Sakuragi anymore, even if he played with Mori Shigekuan, it was better, at least there was a place to use his strength, Sakuragi was full of tricks~ Naito felt very depressed, but he had nowhere to use his strength.

"Good deception!" When Mitsui didn't open the scene, he was so surprised by Sakuragi's performance, but he was still full of praise for Sakuragi. "Akagi, will you?" Throughout the first half, as long as Sakuragi performed, Mitsui always had to ask such a question.

"I won't, will you?" Akagi has long been tired of being asked, and as soon as Mitsui's praise comes out, Akagi waits for Mitsui to ask himself. So Mitsui's words didn't fall, and Akagi was already blocked angrily.

"I really know how to do this!" Mitsui turned his head to see Akagi glaring at him angrily and said with a snicker.

"Sakuragi has really made great progress!" Mu Dui Gongyan sat between the two of them, felt the strong smell of gunpowder, and felt that he said something loudly to ease up.

"Of course, Senior Mu Duan, we will definitely be able to reach the top eight in the country this year!" Haruko was happier than anyone else when she heard Mu Dui's compliment, and said.

Sakuragi hit both free throws, and Xiangbei ended the first half with a one-point lead. The tense game also touched the nerves of the audience, the whistle sounded in the midfield, and many people leaned softly on the back of their chairs to rest. Many people got up and went to the bathroom, the game was so exciting and tense that people were reluctant to leave, and at this time a swarm of bees crowded over.

"Cheating and fouling is also done by villains like Sakuragi." Kiyota Nobunaga moved his stiff body, if it weren't for the closing ceremony today, he wouldn't have stayed to watch the game between Xiangbei and Lingnan, although he was not very reluctant, but in fact, when the game was played, Kiyota Nobunaga watched it quite devotedly.

"Shibei was impressed for three days, but I didn't expect Sakuragi to have the current strength in just one year." In the first half of the game, Takasago and Muto were even more stunned, and if Sakuragi on the field was not still full of red hair, the two of them would definitely think that there were talented newcomers in Xiangbei to join. After watching half the game, they still couldn't connect the Sakuragi in front of them~ with the Sakuragi who behaved strangely on the field last year.

"yes, to be honest, I'm jealous of Sakuragi's talent." Ah Shen said with a smile on the side.

"Ah Shen, you have been deceived, you see that he has a lot of scoring methods, but in fact, his talent has long been gone. You see he can't even grab Naito's rebounds, and I can dunk him one-on-one with me! Kiyota Nobunaga was angry when he talked about Sakuragi, and he wanted to belittle Sakuragi to death.

"I can't say that, there are many kinds of talents, and Sakuragi can progress to this level so quickly, which is also a talent." Muto disagreed with Kiyota Nobunaga's statement, and Kiyota Nobunaga, as a senior Muto, was embarrassed to refute it, although he was very disapproving.

"Qingtian, you should also transform as soon as possible, you are okay in high school, but you can't eat in college." Muto could see that Kiyota Nobunaga disagreed with his statement, but as a person who had come over, Muto still reminded him bitterly. (To be continued......)
