Chapter 63: The Stars of the Final Four Gather
After watching the game between Xiangbei and Hainan, the audience was embarrassed.
Who would have thought that a horse as strong as Takasago would also fall off the horse?
Who would have thought that in 16 years, Hainan, the king of Kanagawa, would also be cut off by the dark horse Xiangbei?
Who else would have thought that the so-called most unstable factor of the Xiangbei team, Sakuragi Hanamichi, was the biggest contributor to the victory?
This is basketball, it's so fascinating, and it's full of possibilities......
----
Two days later, the Hiratsuka Comprehensive Gymnasium in Hiratsuka City once again ushered in two semi-final matches, namely Xiangbei VS Buri and Lingnan VS Hainan.
Since today's two matches, it is possible that Kanagawa Prefecture will be the first team to advance to the national tournament.
Therefore, there are many spectators and media, and many spectators who did not buy admission tickets in advance even blocked outside the Hiratsuka General Gymnasium, asking if anyone wants to refund their tickets.
The charm of the dark horse Xiangbei has been recognized by everyone. Even if their game was postponed to the morning, it still couldn't stop the enthusiastic pursuit of the audience.
The coach of the Bururi team previously planned to fight for Xiangbei to qualify, but it has completely become a joke, just ask the entire Kanagawa Prefecture, who can pat his chest and guarantee that he can beat Hainan? No one did it 16 years ago until the emergence of Xiangbei this year.
The morning game almost turned into a one-man show for the Xiangbei team, and the 4,000 spectators and dozens of reporters in the audience all became fans of the Xiangbei team.
In the cheers of the whole audience, the Xiangbei team defeated the Buri team with a score of 136:58.
In this game, the main players of the Xiangbei team, Akagi, Mitsui, and Rukawa only played half of the game, and in the second half, under the leadership of Miyagi and Sakuragi, Xiangbei easily won the game.
After this battle, the statement of the top four in Kanagawa began to be questioned, and the 90-year-old Buri High School seemed to be in complete decline.
The dark horse Xiangbei team also became the first team to qualify for the national competition.
14:00 p.m., Hiratsuka General Gymnasium
In addition to other high school players who came from Kanagawa Prefecture, there were also several new faces here today.
Two days earlier, Lingnan's 192 points once again set a record for the second highest score in the national competition, and the Xiangbei team defeated the king Hainan team, and these two news made headlines at the same time.
Top players from all over the world, who are familiar with the Hainan team and are interested in the Lingnan team, have come to the Hiratsuka City Comprehensive Gymnasium in Kanagawa Prefecture.
The Xiangyang team is a team that has entered many national competitions, and they are also quite familiar with the best basketball players from all over the country.
At this time, the captain of the Xiangyang team, Fujima, the center Hanagata, and the small forward Hasegawa had already arrived at the game site.
"Fujima!!"
A tall boy with a single eyelid and a white appearance walked in front of everyone in the Xiangyang team.
"You are? Jun Tsuchiya? ”
Fuji Zhen asked a little surprised, a little uncertain.
"Well, you have a pretty good memory, Fujima, it's been a long time since we fought at the national competition two years ago! You okay? ”
"Yes, it's been a long time. If I said I was fine, would you believe me? If it was really good, I would be standing on the sidelines by now, right!? ”
"Hehe~ This joke is so cold!"
Fujima's cold humor made Tsuchiya Jun a little unbearable.
"Hi ~ two masters, may I ask, what are you talking about happily?? How about adding me one? ”
A man in a red and white tracksuit, with short ear-length hair and slightly curly hair, suddenly appeared behind Fujima and Tsuchiya Jun.
"Aichi Gakuin's?"
"The stars are big?"
Jun Tsuchiya felt very familiar and recognized his school uniform, but Fujima knew that Amu and Zhuxing were friends, so he called his name directly.
The three people in the stands all began to exude some indescribable powerful momentum, which made Hanagata and Hasegawa, who were originally standing behind Fujima, consciously move away from them a little.
I don't know which reporter discovered the situation in the grandstand on the second floor, he ran to the bottom of the three people with the camera, raised the camera and clicked to shoot, the reporter's actions also attracted the media colleagues on the field, and a group of people ran here.
This time, she finally took Nakamura's place and followed Aida Yayoi to the interview, which made Sanae Nakagawa excited, she hadn't seen him play for more than ten days since the last interview with Chen Xihao, and her heart was full of anticipation. At this time, the unusual behavior of her peers also attracted her attention, and she pulled the long lens of the digital camera to the farthest away, and saw the three figures in the frame clearly.
"Huh?? Is that? The ace of Shoyang High School, the ace of Aichi Academy, and the ace of Daiei Academy, Jun Tsuchiya? The ace players of the three teams in the quarterfinals last year, plus the Hainan team Mu Shenyi, who is going to participate in the competition today, actually have four aces of the top eight teams of last year's national competition gathered here, this game is really attention-grabbing? ! Xihao, come on! Hainan can't afford to lose this game, and if they lose one more game, they will be eliminated. Similarly, if you lose, you can only fight hard with the powerful Xiangbei, you must come on! Sanae Nakagawa secretly wished in her heart.
At 14:10, the Hainan team wearing yellow and white jerseys and the Lingnan team wearing blue jerseys entered one after another and began to warm up.
At 14:25, the substitutes on both sides began to leave the field, and the five players who started remained on the field. Takasago did not play warm-up, indicating that he has not recovered from his injury.
The (C) position of the center forward was replaced by a small pipe, and the remaining four main players remained unchanged, which remained No. 4 (PG) Makishiichi, No. 6 (SG) Soichiro Kami, No. 10 (SF) Nobunaga Kiyota, and No. 9 (PF) Masato Muto
For the Hainan team, the position of the Lingnan team has also been slightly adjusted, No. 7 (PG) Xiandao, No. 6 (SG) cross-country, No. 18 (SF) Xihao, No. 13 (PF) Afu, and No. 4 (C) Yuzhu.
According to the previous agreement, Xiandao left his position as a small forward to Xihao when he played the Hainan team, and he will act as a point guard in this game to face the ace Mu Shenyi of the Hainan team.
Xiangbei's change of formation was completely unexpected by Gao Touli, who carefully studied the new player of the Lingnan team, No. 18 Xihao, before the game, and made detailed defensive tactics for some of his passing characteristics and shooting areas.
However, the sudden change in the position of the Lingnan team caught him off guard. "Taoka!? Is this the tactic you have arranged? Came up and changed the starting lineup in the first few games? It seems that you really attach importance to our Hainan team!! Gao Touli squeezed the fan in his hand tightly and looked at Shigeichi Taoka in the coach's seat in Lingnan in the distance, his expression was very gloomy.
Shigeichi Taoka also seemed to have a heart, and inadvertently glanced at the Hainan bench, and happened to meet Gao Touli's ruthless gaze. Looking at Gao Touli's eyes and expressions, and then looking at the players on the field, Shigeichi Taoka was also a little helpless, and sighed silently in his heart, "Gao Touli, it's useless for you to stare at me like this, this lineup is not adjusted by me at all, it is the two unserious players on the field who make their own decisions!" ”
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded on the field.
It was still Lingnan who grabbed the ball and Dinghaishen Needle Yuzhu on the inner line, and after passing the ball to Xiandao, Yuzhu ran to the half court of Hainan.
At this time, Chen Xihao also came to Xiandao's favorite area to wander, and on the side of the free throw line within the three-point line, he opened his hand and began to ask for the ball.
At the moment when Chen Xihao stretched out his hand to ask for the ball, Xiandao threw the basketball directly to him without thinking about it.
This provocative behavior made the defender behind Xihao, No. 10 Kiyota Nobunaga of the Hainan team, very angry.
"As soon as you come up for the first goal, are you going to pick me out? Then let me see how much you have as much as you can!! Kiyota Nobunaga squeezed Chen Xihao's back with both arms. I want to push him out of the free throw line and stay as far away from the basket as possible.
However, Chen Xihao supported the ground with one foot, and his back slammed backwards, and the huge force came, making Kiyota Nobunaga feel as if he had been pushed by a bull, and the difference in strength made him involuntarily take half a step back.
At this moment, Chen Xihao threw the ball to the rebound with one hand, and his body was like a blue lightning bolt, and it disappeared from Kiyota Nobunaga's field of vision in an instant.
"Boom !!"
When Qingtian turned around, Chen Xihao was already hanging on the basket with one hand.
This ball, this way of scoring, this slam dunk action like a retreat, is exactly the same as when Sakuragi Hanamichi beat Hainan.
He let go of his hand, fell back to the ground, and walked past Kiyota Nobunaga, Chen Xihao slowed down slightly.
"I remember you said that a second-rate team like Lingnan is not in the eyes of your Hainan team? Right? So, how about this second-rate slam dunk? ”
Chen Xihao's words are tantamount to sprinkling another handful of salt on the wound in Qingtian's heart, their last game lost in such a goal, and as soon as this game started, they were humiliated again by a goal of the same action.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you! I taught him this slam dunk move! ”
The one Chen Xihao said? Who is it, Kiyota Nobunaga has already been like a mirror in his heart, and the raging anger is burning in his heart.
