Chapter 331: Golden 5 Seconds
Rukawa Kaede's expression was calm, and he silently walked to the free throw line, shaking his wrist continuously, stretching and contracting his five fingers.
"Huh~" The first penalty hit steadily.
"Papapa~" There was a not-so-enthusiastic applause in the silent gymnasium, and then it returned to silence.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Rukawa Kaede, who performed the second penalty, and the little fox's face at this time was indifferent, but his eyes glanced at the King Kong brothers who were stuck in the basket without a trace.
However, when he saw Akagi who was caught by the two of them, and Sakuragi who was clamped by Wang Zhengyang, the little fox sighed.
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed in Rukawa Kaede's mind, and in the end, they were all suppressed by him and steadily hit the second free throw.
Xiangbei 67:75 Lingnan.
Less than ten minutes, there are still about four minutes left, and it's not yet time to take the risk.
Not only Rukawa Kaede didn't think it was time to take risks, but even Coach Taoka thought so, and he waved his hand to signal Xiandao to be stable and press the time.
As soon as Sakuragi was on the inside, Wang Zhengyang chose to switch positions with Futian to defend and went to the inside line to suppress the red-haired monkey.
Lingnan's possession of the ball at this time was naturally handed over to Xiandao, and as for the other defender off-road, he became more of a shooter.
Who would have thought that the fate of the "Little Steel Cannon" off-road would be the fixed-point pitcher of the team's starting lineup!
Of course, he also needs to keep an eye on Miyagi, and his similar height makes Miyagi's flexibility in front of the other party, and there is not much room to show it.
"Gou" is a very important attribute, and it is also the same on the court, Xiandao himself is full of personality, but it does not mean that he will resist the coach's command.
Ignoring the old illness of being late, Xiandao is generally more willing to obey the coach's arrangement, or because the general environment is like this, even the unruly Sakuragi will also obey Coach Anzai's arrangement.
With the exception of Toyotama High School, which is very purposeful, players from almost all schools will play on the court according to the instructions of their coaches.
This is not a coach's personal charm, it is purely a relationship between superiors and subordinates created by social problems.
In fact, this kind of military-like relationship between superiors and subordinates is not only spreading in the sports circles of the East, but even the West cannot escape this problem.
Every year, there are endless incidents of bullying by sports coaches, which are nothing more than "illegal" means to strengthen the authority of coaches and use "illegal" means against their athletes.
This is especially true in the youth sports sector, where many high-profile athletes have been exposed to such scandals after becoming famous.
This is the norm and very sick, as the so-called where the sun does not shine, there will naturally be darkness.
Comparatively speaking, Taoka is a qualified coach! Even the simplest corporal punishment has been curtailed a lot because of the Futian incident.
You must know that Yuzhu almost didn't practice himself at the beginning, and you told me that this was normal training?
Don't be naΓ―ve, this is an alternative form of corporal punishment, which constantly squeezes the potential of the athlete, so that the muscles can form memories and better integrate them into daily training.
However, this kind of desperate squeezing often brings very serious consequences, resulting in irreversible hidden diseases, and many athletes turn sharply after their peak, because this unscientific training overdraws the future.
However, compared to most coaches, Taoka is still gentle, after all, the field is too low-end, the only consequence of being tough is that the players pat their butts and leave, and basketball is still just a hobby rather than a profession for most people on the court.
However, Tiangang's shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the limitations of the overall situation, in Wang Zhengyang's view, the lead at this time is not safe, and he should take advantage of Xiangbei's defense to rush to the point directly!
Whether it was him, Xiandao or Fukuda, they could all do this, but Tiangang chose to be steady, and he signaled Xiandao to press time and not be too anxious.
And Xiandao also obeyed his command, and it took nearly ten seconds to dribble the basketball across the halfway.
Seeing this scene, Rukawa Kaede's brows furrowed, but there was no good way.
After all, what is "Gou" now is the Immortal Dao, not Yasuda.
"Wow~" There were a few sporadic boos in the audience, but they were quickly suppressed.
Maki: "Kiyota, you're so rude now!" β
It turned out that it was the wild monkeys in Hainan who were booing, but they were immediately stopped by the herd next to them.
Qingtian: "Senior, Lingnan is too cautious now, obviously so far ahead. β
The views of the wild monkey represent the voices of many people, and it seems that the "Gou" of the fairy road is very disappointing, and there is no championship style at all.
Pastoral: "This is the game, and the reasonable use of the rules is a must for every coach!" β
At a time when basketball was still in the wilderness, there was no such thing as a "24-second violation", and at that time, a round of play was theoretically infinitely long.
There were two teams in the United States that hid the basketball after the home team scored a point with a free throw at the beginning of the game, and then dragged it out until the end of the game.
The final score was 1:0 over the opponent.
Lingnan's choice to press time is actually a double-edged sword, if it can be delayed until the last second of the offense to score, the morale blow to Xiangbei will be huge, and vice versa.
Now Xiangbei is facing a problem, whether to work hard to defend this ball, if Lingnan can't score points in the offensive time, even if the time is consumed, it will be beneficial to Xiangbei!
It's a pity that Coach Anzai was not there, and the choice was given to the players on the field, and after seeing Xiandao dribbling over half the court, he still planned to press the time, Rukawa Kaede chose to stretch out his hand.
"Smack~" hit Xiandao's hand at once, and the referee immediately blew the whistle and signaled a foul.
At this time, before the stage of free throws, Lingnan could only choose to serve the sideline.
It was Naito, the regular candidate, who served, but it was clear that when the bald head stood on the sideline, Taoka regretted it.
Xiangbei made full use of the running position to block Lingnan's players from receiving the ball, and the inexperienced Naito panicked all of a sudden.
Xiandao was entangled by Rukawa Kaede, while Sakuragi was half-pulled and half-pulled leaning on Wang Zhengyang's body, seeing this, Tianoka stood up and roared at the linesman: "Foul, don't you see?" β
Obviously, the referee indulged Xiangbei's defense a bit and ignored Taoka's appeal.
Time flies, and Naito, who can't hide his nervousness with a face full of face, throws the basketball to Fukuda.
Obviously, this is the wrong choice!
Miyagi quickly appeared on the passing route and won this crucial opportunity!
Although the off-road quickly became entangled, Miyagi had already passed the basketball out.
"What?" There was chaos on the field, and the object of Miyagi's pass was neither Rukawa Kaede nor Hirakawa Daisuke, but the red-haired monkey.
At this time, Sakuragi calmly dribbled the basketball in two steps, and quickly shot the ball before Wang Zhengyang blocked it.
Rukawa Kaede, who stumbled to the middle line, received the basketball, and the lemur connection allowed Xiangbei to instantly revitalize the attack.
Rukawa Kaede dribbled to the Lingnan half, rushed down to the basket with great momentum, and had an indomitable determination!
Xiandao also followed closely, and the two jumped almost at the same time, and it was clear that Rukawa Kaede's goal was not the basket, and he half-turned in the air and smashed the basketball outside the three-point line.
One step away from the right side of the arc, Daisuke Hirakawa received the basketball, and Fukuda, who followed him, hurriedly stopped rushing to the inside and pounced on Daisuke Hirakawa!
At this time, Daisuke Hirakawa's left hand held the ball, and his right hand had already made a shooting action.
"Whoosh~", the speed of the shot is extremely fast, and there is almost no time to aim at the basket.
The basketball crossed a very fast arc and crashed into the net under the gaze of the audience!
The sound of "Huh~" is undoubtedly a natural sound for Xiangbei players and their supporters.
Xiangbei 70:75, only 5 points behind Lingnan, as if the insurmountable gap has been filled!
It is worth mentioning that it only took 5 seconds from Miyagi completing the steal to Daisuke Hirakawa taking a shot outside the three-point line!
These 5 seconds can be called the golden 5 seconds of Xiangbei!
