"Toot ~~"
The referee's whistle and the basketball that flew into the sky officially announced the beginning of this duel between the two heroes.
With superhuman explosiveness and height, Akagi Gangxian jumped high, grabbed the ball from the tee-off, and then handed the basketball to the fastest No. 7 Miyagi Ryota of the Xiangbei team, Miyagi just ran out of more than three meters away with the ball, and was pressed up by the ace of the Hainan team, and after the two of them ran side by side for a distance, Miyagi saw that the Rukawa Kaede of the Xiangbei team had run out of the vacancy, and the basketball shook in his hand, and flew to the No. 11 Rukawa Kaede who was about to arrive under the basket.
After receiving the ball, Rukawa Kaede rose into the air, grabbed the basketball with his right hand and buckled it to the basket in front of him.
At this moment, a swarthy arm appeared in front of him, "Smack! Blocked the slam dunk of the Xiangbei team smashing to the basket this time, and the one who stopped this dunk was Mu Shenyi, who had just pressed Miyagi Ryota on, his speed and explosiveness were really amazing, and he got rid of Miyagi and ran to the front of Rukawa Kaede first, blocking this must-score goal.
After the dunk was blocked, Rukawa Kaede was not flustered, hooked the basketball with his right hand in the air, and threw it behind him, where stood the three-point marksman who had already taken a good position, the No. 14 Mitsui Shou of the Xiangbei team, seeing that Mitsui Shou was about to receive this wonderful vacant pass, it was another arm that blocked the flight line of the basketball, intercepting the basketball, the owner of this arm, who is also a three-point marksman, the No. 6 Shenzong Ichiro of the Hainan team.
After Ichiro Shenzong broke the ball, the dribble quickly broke through Mitsui Shou in front of him, and everyone in the Hainan team collectively rushed to the defensive half of the Xiangbei team, the two first to arrive in the half of the Xiangbei team were the No. 10 Kiyota Nobunaga of the Hainan team, and the No. 5 Takasago Kazuma, who was close to the basket, after glancing left and right, Ichiro Shinzo Shinzo made a feint to pass to No. 10 Kiyota Nobunaga, and this action also attracted Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was blocking in front of Shinsoichiro, just when Sakuragi Hanamichi pounced on Kiyota Nobunaga's side to defend, The basketball was passed to the hands of Hainan center Takasago under the basket.
Takasago, who was unguarded behind him, turned around and jumped directly, ready to make a board shot, but at this time, a large shadow appeared behind him, completely enveloping him.
"Smack!!"
A huge crisp sound, the basket of the Xiangbei team, Optimus Prime Akagi Gangxian, a powerful and heavy cap fanned out Takasago's shot, at this time, just returned to the defensive half of the Xiangbei team, Liuchuan Feng received the basketball that was fanned, he dribbled and ran only two short steps, picked up a circle with one arm, and threw the basketball to the half of the Hainan team, seeing that the basketball was about to fly out of the bottom line, a red figure finally arrived, jumped up to catch the super long pass, and saved the basketball from the bottom line. This man's awareness is quite remarkable, and he even ran to the half of the Hainan team the moment the Akagi block was successful. is worthy of his former name, the former MVP of Kanagawa Prefecture, and the current three-point marksman of the Xiangbei team, Mitsui Shou.
After the success of this ultra-long pass, not only the audience was stunned, but even the people of the Lingnan team were quite magical, all the players of the Lingnan team looked at Chen Xihao with a brush, and Chen Xihao, who was a little embarrassed by everyone, scratched his hair, and said softly, "Don't look at me, I am not familiar with this Xiangbei team No. 11, I didn't teach it!" ”
At this time, the No. 14 Mitsui Shou of the Xiangbei team on the court ran a three-step layup, and at the moment when he was about to put the basketball into the basket, it was the dark arm, and it was a powerful man who shook the whole court, I don't know when he had quickly returned to the Hainan team's half, and he had jumped at the free throw line, and after sliding in the air for a distance, he flew Mitsui Shou's layup to the rebound with a slap and rebounded.
After the opening of the Xiangbei team and the Hainan team, although they did not score a single point, the hearts of the audience were tight, and their eyes did not dare to blink, feeling as if it was just a short moment, in fact, the time on the field had passed a full 2 minutes. The players of both sides not only brought shocking offensive and defensive battles to the audience, but also gave a series of visual feasts to the audience.
"Okay!! That's great!! ”
"Hainan team, we must win!!"
"Xiangbei team! You guys are amazing! ”
"Xiangbei team! Come on! ”
Finally, after the first few minutes of competition, the neutral audience began to take the initiative to cheer for the Red Flame Xiangbei Team for the first time.
The direction of the game was like the confrontation of more than two minutes at the beginning, and the scores of the Hainan team and the Xiangbei team rose alternately, tightly biting within the 4-point difference. In the first half, the most outstanding performance of the Xiangbei team was No. 11 Liuchuan Feng, when the Hainan team opened the score for the first time to reach 9 points, it was Liuchuan Feng who scored 11 points in a row, so that the Xiangbei team did not fall behind in the score, especially at the end of the first half, he hit a key goal again, and completely tied the score.
In the end, at the end of the first half, the Hainan team and the Xiangbei team played to a 49:49 draw.
"This No. 11 is really powerful! He is now in the echelon of super players. ”
Chen Xihao watched the entire first half of the game, and for the first time made a comment on Rukawa Kaede, before making this evaluation, he made a comparison based on Xiandao and Fuji Zhen. Rukawa Kaede's strength, and the last time I saw him play, and improved, the last time in Xiangbei and Xiangyang's game, Rukawa Kaede was slightly inferior to Xiandao and Fuji Zhen, and in today's game with Hainan, he has even been able to resist Hainan ace Amu and is not inferior, that is to say, Rukawa Kaede has entered the first echelon of Kanagawa Prefecture, and Hainan's Mu Shenyi, Xiangyang's Fuji Zhen, and Lingnan's Xiandao have become super players who can be on an equal footing.
"Super player?? Xihao, who are the super players in your mind? Let's hear about it~~"
The sentence of off-road threw Chen Xihao to the fire rack and roasted it. Chen Xihao didn't want to answer, but after hearing the cross-country question, all the players of the Lingnan team, including the calmest captain Yuzhu, the gentlest Xiandao, and the most stern Coach Tianoka all looked at Chen Xihao, and even in the end, even Ah Fu, who was sitting next to him, gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, and when he looked at him with burning eyes, Chen Xihao couldn't resist the pressure, so he had to speak hard.
"I'm only commenting on the teams I've seen the game or are more familiar with, whether it's right or not, everyone just listens to it, anyway, we are idle at halftime. In my opinion, the teams in Kanagawa Prefecture can now be divided into three echelons, and the third echelon is role players, also known as quasi-star players, which is the foundation of each team, and without them, no team can achieve the ultimate victory. For example, in Lingnan, there are Chi Shangchang, grass planting, and cross-country belonging to this ranks, and among other teams, such as Takasago and Muto in Hainan, Hasegawa and Yongyeman in Xiangyang, Miyagi in Xiangbei and so on......"
Chishang, Cross-Country, Grass Planting and others heard that Chen Xihao had classified himself as a quasi-star, and even tied with Takasago in Hainan, they were slightly excited, and they were more interested in listening. Chen Xihao saw that it did not arouse the refutation of everyone, especially the poisonous tongue of off-road, so he was slightly relieved and continued to speak.
"The second echelon is the star players in each team, all of whom have certain personal strength and team leadership strength, such as Nango Kuichiro of Tsukumu High School, Wu Daiyuzu; Imamura of Buri High School; the flower shape of Xiangyang University; Ichiro Shinsoe and Nobunaga Kiyota of Hainan University; Akagi Tsuyoshi and Mitsui Shou of Xiangbei University; Our Lingnan Captain Yuzhu, Futian, and I ......"
"The first echelon is the strongest players in the entire Kanagawa Prefecture, and they can also be called superstar players of each team. For example, Fuji Zhen of the Xiangyang team, A Mu of the Hainan team, Liuchuan of the Xiangbei team, and Xiandao of our Lingnan...... Hehe, that's all I'm going to say, but I'm just saying it casually, don't mind! “
After Chen Xihao finished speaking, he looked at the players of the Lingnan team who were in deep thought, and waved his hands again and again, not wanting to cause other emotions because of his words.
"I think there is basically no problem with Xihao's ordering, except that there is a person whose position is wrong!"
Captain Yuzumi, who has always been taciturn and serious-looking, was the first to speak. Hearing his words, Coach Taoka, who was sitting next to him, nodded repeatedly. Even Ah Fu, who was sitting next to Chen Xihao, was smiling and shaking his head at Chen Xihao again and again.
"Yes, I think the same thing as Captain Uozumi. Xihao, in the first echelon, are you missing one person? “
One less person? Chen Xihao looked at the immortal Dao who was asking, confused, who did he say? It can't be the cherry blossom road in northern Xiangbei, right? To be honest, Sakuragi Hanamichi is really difficult to classify, he is not even as good as a role player when he doesn't perform well, and he can even reach the level of the first echelon when he performs well.
