Chapter 66: Unyielding Will
After the start of the second half, Ah Fu, who had tied his ankle bandage, appeared again. Xiandao originally wanted to appear, but was pressed on the bench by Coach Taoka.
Injuries to the waist, knees, and Achilles tendons are likely to affect a basketball player's life. Coach Taoka would rather Lingnan lose this game than allow Sendo to play again.
Before the end of the first half, Lingnan was pulled away again, and now the total score is 61:38, with a difference of 23 points between the two sides.
The lineup for the second half of Lingnan is center Yuzumi, power forward Ikegami, small forward Ah Fu, scoring guard off-road, and point guard Xihao.
Chen Xihao is not most worried about the score now, but the body of his teammates, looking at the painful expressions of Xiandao and Ah Fu after being injured, Chen Xihao is very sad in his heart, he would rather the injured person be himself. The source of everything comes from the title of [Public Enemy of Xiangbei], at halftime, Chen Xihao contacted Xiaoyin, and kept trying to change equipment, but the title on the attribute bar could not disappear.
After the start of the second half of the game, sure enough, the impact of this title still exists, only 1 minute after the opening, the off-road was over-scrambled in defense, and the three fingers of the right hand were clubbed to the basketball, and the knuckles were instantly swollen, so they could only withdraw from the court and be replaced by grass. The position that Uecao excels at is (PG) point guard, and Chen Xihao's position is moved forward to replace the off-road (SG) point guard.
After changing to a guard, Chen Xihao faced Mitsui Shou, who was shorter than him in height, in the first half Chen Xihao and Rukawa Kaede were slightly inferior in the contest, which made Mitsui Shou slightly despise him, in the second attack of the Xiangbei team, Mitsui Shou did not shoot immediately after receiving the ball, but instead hugged the basketball and made a feint of swinging his shoulders left and right in front of Chen Xihao, and then dribbled to break through Xihao from the left side.
People passed, but the basketball was directly lost by Chen Xihao, who had an average steal rate of more than 4 times per game, and Xihao, who ran quickly to the northern half of Xiangbei, played a familiar cooperation with Afu who was injured, Chen Xihao threw the basketball high to the upper right corner of the rebound, according to the many cooperation of the two people on the small court, as well as the tacit understanding in the game, this ball should be nine out of ten.
As a result, Ah Fu was not high enough after jumping, and he didn't catch the basketball in the air, so he had to use all his strength to pluck the basket, and the basketball bounced to the basket, and after two more bumps on the basket, it slowly slipped down, was stuck in position, and squeezed out of the fish, and took it off.
After Ah Fu landed, his legs trembled, he clenched his teeth, and his throat and eyes made a gentle "hiss~~" sound, which shows that the ankle injury in the first half, even if it is fixed with a bandage, it still continues to hurt.
At this time, the referee on the sidelines blew a long whistle, and the Lingnan team asked for a timeout, and in less than 3 minutes of the opening game, the Lingnan team used up its own timeout, which surprised many people.
"Ah Fu, don't hold it up, you go down, Guan Ping, you go to warm up, and prepare to replace Ah Fu!!"
After the players returned to the bench, Coach Ogaoka directly asked Afu to come off the field.
"I don't, coach, I'm going to stay on the field! This is my hard-earned opportunity! Even if my foot is broken, I'm going to stay on the field and beat them! ”
Since the difficult return to the Lingnan basketball team, whether it is hard training, or the coach's reprimand, or the tactical arrangement in the game, Ah Fu, who has always been submissive and completely obedient, has collided with Coach Taoka head-on for the first time.
The other teammates all looked at Coach Taoka nervously, for fear that he would yell and scold Ah Fu again like he did last time when Ah Fu left the team.
To everyone's surprise, Coach Taoka's face was gentle, and at this moment, it was like an immortal possession, he walked to Ah Fu's side and slapped his hand heavily on Ah Fu's shoulder.
"Ah Fu! You are the hardest working and hardest working player in this team, and your level of effort even surpasses that of Xihao and Xiandao, all of which I have seen. However, you have to understand that today's game is not our last game in Lingnan. In front of us, there is a national competition!! Even if we appear as the second place in Kanagawa Prefecture, in the national competition, we still have a chance to beat the Xiangbei team in front of us again. If the injury is too serious because of your momentary spirit, which affects the next national competition, we will really lose more than we lose! Moreover, you have to learn a lot from the immortals, and you must know how to trust your teammates, they will take back the missing part of you on the field! Hee-ho, did you say yes?? ”
Another arm slapped on Ah Fu's other shoulder, Chen Xihao looked at Coach Tian Oka with firm eyes, looked at Ah Fu, and said loudly, "Yes, coach!" Ah Fu, go down and rest, you and Xiandao, take a good look at me. It's like what the two of us left at the same time that day, and Xiandao did. ”
"I won't let you down!!"
----
Ah Fu, Cross-Country, and Xiandao, who were sitting on the bench, looked at Chen Xihao, who was wearing a white No. 18 team uniform and running on the field, with burning eyes, and his heart was full of pride. The words Chen Xihao said 10 minutes ago are still lingering in their ears, "I won't let you down......"
In the past 10 minutes, Chen Xihao opened the equipment's own skill "Immortal Body", opened his own exclusive skill "Control the whole court", used "drift shooting" and "drift dunk", and officially entered the situation of full-scale explosion......
Any basketball that passes to him is the end of the offense, and in front of the end is the round basket in mid-air.
"Bell~~"
The three-point shooting hit the iron, Chen Xihao didn't look at it, and he didn't care about the rebound, he turned around and ran directly to his own half of the area to prepare for defense.
At this time, the 5 minutes of "controlling the whole court" have long passed, in this 5 minutes, Chen Xihao hit four three-pointers in a row, two layups 2+1, two shots, 5 minutes later, Chen Xihao's shooting began to appear iron-clad, but the Xiangbei team seemed to be completely wiped by his furious 5 minutes, and their offense began to be less efficient than the first half. Point guard Miyagi even deliberately slowed down the tempo, controlled the basketball, and pushed forward slowly.
At this time, the score of the two sides has become 74:69,
Lingnan was only 5 points behind, and they had just played a wave of 30:13 scoring frenzy, and these 30 points were all scored by Chen Xihao in the outbreak.
This time the attack of the Xiangbei team, Xihao, who defended Mitsui Shou alone, has been staring at Rukawa Kaede's body for a long time, at this time it is Chigami who defends Rukawa Kaede, Rukawa Kaede has scored 7 points on Chishang's body in the second half, and whenever Xihao scores, Rukawa Kaede, who does not admit defeat, always wants to return the salute.
"Rukawa~"
The basketball in Miyagi's hand flew to Liuchuan Feng, but halfway, it was intercepted by an arm that suddenly appeared, Chen Xihao broke the ball and ran wildly to the basket of the Xiangbei team, after losing the ball, Liuchuan, and Miyagi, who was broken off the ball, chased Chen Xihao tightly, at this time, a more rapid red figure surpassed the two of them, and the side of Chen Xihao's shoulder began to go hand in hand, due to the confrontation in the run, Chen Xihao's speed slowed down, and he was also squeezed out of position by the No. 10 Sakuragi Hanamichi who caught up with him later, Came to the bottom corner of the three-point line.
In this game, the preconceived impression of never shooting from this angle affected the judgment of Rukawa Kaede and Miyagi, who saw that Xihao was forced into the corner, and subconsciously wanted to go back to the basket.
"Don't go!! He's going to shoot!! “
Under the roar of Sakuragi Hanamichi, he had already jumped high and opened his arms, Chen Xihao's body gradually floated to the bottom line on the other side, and his stretched body and the picturesque shooting posture announced Ling Nan and his unyielding will in the end.
"Huh~~"
Basketball hollow into the net, 74:71
This is also the closest score between Lingnan and Xiangbei in the whole game.
1 minute later, Captain Yuzhu was sent off the court due to five fouls, and Lingnan's basket was also completely lost, and there was no possibility of recovering the victory.
Three minutes later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match.
The Xiangbei team finally defeated the Lingnan team with a score of 84:80.
In the game, Chen Xihao scored 54 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 7 steals, and 2 blocks.
He scored more points alone than the Xiangbei team's Rukawa Kaede + Mitsui Shou + Sakuragi Hanamichi combined.
However, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who only scored 10 points in the game but grabbed 28 rebounds, was the biggest contributor to maintaining the lead of the Xiangbei team during Chen Xihao's explosion in this game.
"I won the game today, but I still didn't win you, see you in the national competition!!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
The red No. 10 and the white No. 18, two figures, without high-fives, staggered.
