Chapter 23: Lingnan Replacement: Tsukutake
The roar was naturally Captain Lingnan, who had just been whistled for a second foul.
Yuzhu glared angrily and wanted to continue to find the referee's theory.
"Fish live, shut me up!! Don't forget who you are! You are the captain of Lingnan! Cheer me up! β
At this time, Shigeichi Kooka of the coach's seat stood up, clasped his hands to his mouth, and shouted into the field.
After hearing the coach's reprimand, Yuzhu didn't say anything more, and retreated to the side of the free throw line.
Chen Xihao just saw the two fouls very clearly, the second thug foul was blown without a problem, and most of Yuzhu's palm was indeed covered by the basketball, but his small half of his palm was also pressed on the wrist of No. 15. However, the first referee blew that Yuzhu was fouled, which obviously affected Yuzhu's mood.
Home advantage, it seems that in addition to the cheerleading team, there is also the referee factor, Chen Xihao silently added to himself in his heart.
The situation is very unfavorable, only less than 3 minutes into the game, Captain Yuzumi has already committed two fouls, should I take the initiative to go to Coach Taoka to ask for a substitution? ? Xihao looked at Shigeichi Taoka, who had an ugly face beside him, and was still a little hesitant.
"Hm~" "Boom~"
Tsukutake's No. 15 center hit both free throws, and the score came to 5:0.
When it came to Lingnan's offense, the person in charge of receiving the ball was still Tomoyuki Uekusa, but Uecao didn't seem to be in a state, and he didn't pay attention to the opponent's No. 7 point guard who had not yet retreated when he was about to receive the ball.
"Grass planting!! Watch out for the back!! β
As soon as the cross-country ball was released, I saw the figure rushing behind the grass.
"Smack!"
The basketball that had not yet been held firmly by the grass was slapped down by No. 7 from the side and back, and after the No. 7 broke the ball, he easily came to a three-step board layup.
Score "7:0"
"Hikoichi!"
"Coach, I'm here?"
"Go to the tech desk and get ready to ask for a pause."
"Yes, Coach."
Just as Hikoichi Aida was about to walk to the technical table, Sendo had already returned to his backcourt and stretched out his hand to ask for the ball.
After getting the off-road serve, Sendo controlled the ball and began to rush towards Tsukutake's half.
Tsukutake's No. 7 Natsume originally wanted to try to intercept near the midfield, but Sendo's left shoulder shook slightly, which made No. 7, who had not yet stood firm, lose his defensive center of gravity, and was easily broken through by Sendo from the right.
"Hikoichi!"
"Coach?"
"Wait a minute!"
"Oh!"
Hikoichi Aida returned to his seat.
When Sendo dribbled to the three-point arc, Tsukushi 8, who was defending him, had already taken a firm position, waving his arms in front of Sendo's eyes, trying to interfere with his vision.
Sendo pulled the ball back with his left hand, and at the same time instantly lowered his center of gravity, took a step forward with his left foot, bent his right leg at the knee, close to parallel to the ground, leaned forward, and made an attacking gesture, which also completely attracted the attention of No. 8, he lowered his center of gravity and leaned his shoulders slightly.
When the basketball was pulled to a limit position in Sendo's left hand, Sendo suddenly changed the height of his center of gravity, quickly switching from his left foot to his right foot, and at the same time made a forward change of direction, and the ball quickly switched from his left hand to his right hand.
This caught the unprepared No. 8 hurriedly changed his center of gravity again, ready to adjust his body to guard against his weak side, No. 8 made a mistake this time, he didn't take into account that his body couldn't support the continuous change of center of gravity, and after his ankle was weak, No. 8 sat down directly on the ground. Watching the fairy dribble easily break through from his left side.
This move, which has a resounding name called "crossover", is also Iverson's stunt on the NBA court.
One step into the three-point area, he jumped high and threw a mid-range shot from the left side of the free throw line.
"Rebound?!"
Captain Wu Dai, who rushed to assist in the defense, couldn't stop Xiandao's shot anymore, and hurriedly turned around and shouted to his own center No. 15 under the basket.
"Huh!"
To Wu Dai's disappointment, Xiandao's shot hit the blue heart directly like a precision-guided missile.
Overall Score "7:2"
This goal also greatly boosted the morale of the whole team in Lingnan, and several players on the field came up to high-five Xiandao to celebrate.
The corners of Xiandao's mouth turned up slightly, as if he didn't care.
However, a drop of sweat slowly flowed down the tips of his hair.
Since then, the offense and defense of the two sides have come and gone, and the score has risen alternately little by little, but it has always maintained a score difference of about 5-7 points.
In the 12th minute of the first half, when the score came to 27:21.
The unexpected, again.
At that time, Tsukutake's No. 7 Natsume was hovering at the top of the three-point arc in the southern half of the Lingnan region in possession of the ball, and Uecao was a little uneasy, and broke through after being blocked and demolished several times in a row, making his eyes a little erratic, in addition to paying attention to the No. 7 in front of him, Uecao also had to keep an eye on his left and right, for fear of losing the defender after being blocked and demolished again.
At this time, Tsukutake's No. 5 player began to slowly move behind Uekusa, and the alert Uekusa observed that he hurriedly took a step back before the No. 5 player arrived, which also gave the opponent's No. 7 player Natsume Hiroshi a gap to shoot.
In the first 10 minutes of the first half, almost all of them were in possession and passing, and Hiroshi Natsume, who had not scored a point, jumped without hesitation, with a flat end of his right hand and a light support with his left hand, and gently pushed the basketball out.
"Don't think about it!!"
Realizing that he had been deceived, Uecao yelled and jumped up to block it, but he forgot that he had just taken a step back, and this time he couldn't touch the basketball at all, and Uecao's hand was also on the opponent's wrist.
"Toot ~~~"
"Huh~~~"
Two heart-wrenching voices rang out at the same time.
"Blue 8, foul on the batter. White 7, add a free throw! β
Shigeichi Taoka stood up from the chair violently, if the other party scored this goal again, it would be "3 + 1", which was equivalent to scoring 4 points directly, and the score was stretched to 10 points for the first time, which made him unable to sit still anymore.
"Nozomi Arisaka."
"Here!"
"Go warm up, after the opponent's free throws, go on the court, and plant grass instead!"
"Yes, Coach."
Chen Xihao couldn't imagine that happiness would come so suddenly, and he had been thinking about how to talk to Coach Taoka to let him play, and Coach Taoka took the initiative to give him the opportunity.
After registering at the technical desk, Xihao ran two laps in a row and ran back, and after feeling a slight sweat on his body, he raised his hand to signal that he could be replaced.
At this time, Tsukutake's No. 7 Hiroshi Natsume had just finished the free throw, and the ball went in again, and the ball of the baseline ball was in the hands of Lingnan.
Zhicao saw that the sign played by the technical table on the sidelines was Lingnan No. 18 for No. 8, knowing that he was going to be replaced, he hurriedly ran to the sidelines, high-fived Xihao, and said cheers, Zhicao sat back on the Lingnan bench with some frustration.
After getting on the field, Chen Xihao gently pulled the finger sleeve on his hand, patted his forehead with both hands, and slowly brushed his flowing broken hair back, and came to the bottom line with full spirit, reaching out for the ball.
After getting the basketball, Chen Xihao stabilized his rhythm, stood near the middle circle and slowly dribbled, and waited until the cross-country run back to the offensive half of the court and stood in a stable position, Chen Xihao began to dribble step by step.
"The overall situation is good, and the rhythm is good!"
"I just don't know how well I can pass and score?"
On the bench, Coach Shigeichi Kooka stroked his chin with one hand and said a few words softly.
Hikoichi Aida, who spread out the notebook on the side, picked up the pen without hesitation and began to record it.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Chen Xihao stood outside the three-point line and dribbled the ball steadily, looked at his teammates who were competing for the card position, and began to think quickly.
The current score is 31:21, 10 points behind, if you open the skill one now, you can get three points, although the score is a little closer, but it does not play a role in the overall situation, and now in terms of momentum, Jinjiuwu has completely suppressed Lingnan, so we must first hit their momentum and lift our momentum.
On the basketball court, what's the best way to lift momentum?
That is, amazing slam dunk!
So, come on!
The decision has been made, and Chen Xihao's pupils shrank.
He instantly lowered the center of gravity of his body and made a gesture ready to break through, and Tsukutake's No. 7 Natsume immediately took a small half step back, spread his arms, and waved up and down.
Seeing Natsume hang his arms, bow down, and there was a defensive gap in the upper half, Chen Xihao quickly threw the ball off Natsume's head, and then quickly ran to the infield.
After receiving Chen Xihao's pass, Xiandao was originally planning to dribble and break through or transmit it to the off-road outside the three-point line again. He didn't expect that after Chen Xihao passed the ball to him, he had already thrown off the opponent's No. 7 player and ran to the basket.
Xiandao flicked one hand as if he had a spirit in his heart, and passed the ball back to Chen Xihao again.
Chen Xihao, who received the ball again, had already stepped on the free throw line with one foot, and he silently recited in his heart, "Open!" Equip your own skill two! β
One step, two steps......
At the free throw line, Chen Xihao took three steps, kicked hard with his left foot to the ground, and his body jumped high, like a big peng with wings flying to the basket.
"Bastard! That location is too far away!! How to choose to do a three-step layup there! It's going to be capped! This idiot!! β
Coach Taoka jumped up directly from his chair and began to jump to his feet and curse.
There was silence on the bench as well, but there was one person out of the ranks.
Ah Fu, who was sitting on the bench, grew his mouth and slowly stood up, "No, it's not a layup!" This, is this ......?"
In the defensive half of Tsukutake, No. 15 center Nango Kuichiro recognized this from the moment he saw Chen Xihao on the court, and this was the kid who had confronted him at the Park Stadium last time.
I was going to give him some color to see, but I didn't expect this kid to rush down to the basket as soon as he got on the court, and he started to make a three-step layup from such a distance?? Isn't this looking for abuse?
"That's naΓ―ve! See if I don't shoot you to death!! Nango Kuichiro turned around and shook off Yu Zhujun, jumped high, judging from the height of the jump and the height of his arm, this ball can completely block any shooting or layup angle of Chen Xihao.
Just when the two were about to meet in the air, Chen Xihao's body twisted 180 degrees in the air, from facing No. 15 to turning his back to him, his upper body was also slightly bent, and the basketball held in the air was also retracted by Chen Xihao with one hand.
At this moment after the two staggered, Chen Xihao, who was originally bent over and gathered his waist, instantly pulled out his waist, as if he was a few centimeters higher out of thin air, and the basketball on his waist was also raised high by him with one hand and smashed to the back of his head.
"Boom !!"
Three steps from the free throw line, half-turn in the air and one-handed back-to-back dunk.
It was a dreamlike dunk that shook the audience.
It was also the first dunk in this game for the whole team in Lingnan.
The dunk interrupted the shouts of the cheerleaders who resounded throughout the audience.
"Tsu Jiuwu, Qiang Qiang Qiang!" There was a quiet period of tens of seconds in this rhythm.
