Chapter 83: Little People, Big Dreams

Before this match between Sanno Industry and Lingnan team, no one would have thought that so many miracles could be born in this game.

For the first time in the history of the national competition, there was a violent dunk that flew directly over the heads of the defenders, and it was also the most classic and exciting slam dunk.

For the first time in the history of the national competition, a match of double overtime was played, and the total time of the game lasted 85 minutes (including halftime and extra time)

For the first time in the history of a national tournament, in a game (including overtime), five fouls ended up being sent off for more than seven players.

For the first time in the history of a national tournament, both teams have two or more players scoring more than 40 points.

For the first time in the history of a national tournament, a substitute player who averaged no more than 5 points per game was killed.

Everything is incredible, and it has to go back to the last 10 seconds of the second overtime of the Sanno Industries VS Lingnan game.

----

"Ah Mu, do you remember what the name of the player in the Lingnan team who shot the last kill?"

"Hmm...... When I think about it, he seemed to play in our semi-finals, but only for a little over two minutes, well...... No, I can't remember, he's so unobtrusive. ”

On the train back to Kanagawa Prefecture, Fujima and Amaki were still discussing the Sanno Industries vs. Lingnan match.

"Guan Ping, your physical strength and talent are not suitable for playing basketball, you should consider retreating."

"Coach, please, give me another chance, just give me a chance! I'm definitely going to run these 12 laps!! ”

At the edge of the training ground, there are more than a dozen new first-year basketball freshmen, including Yokoichi Aida.

They stood on the sidelines, quietly watching the big man in the field, staggering back to both ends of the court, falling again and again in the middle, getting up again and again, not giving up, after the fifth fall, he even lay on the sidelines and began to retch, vomiting filth all over the ground.

Hikoichi Aida was the first to run over and help him up, "Guan Ping, stop insisting, forget it." ”

"No, thank you, I'm still able to, I can hold on."

In the end, when he reached the 11th lap, Guan Ping fell heavily to the ground and fainted due to physical exhaustion.

However, he was one of the last four freshmen selected by Hikoichi Aida.

"Guan Ping, why did you choose to play basketball? Is it just because you're tall? ”

"No, Hikochi, because I really like to play basketball, I used to be too short when I was in junior high school, and the basketball department of junior high school didn't want me, thank you very much to Lingnan and Coach Tian Gang, I can play basketball here, it's good!"

One day after the end of the Kanagawa Prefecture Final Four, after the training, Guan Ping silently put every basketball on the court into the ball frame, moved the ball frame to the storage room, and then went to the locker room to take out a rag, and wiped the dust on the basketball floor on the edge of the frame little by little. After all this was done, Guan Ping wiped his sweat, put the rag back in the locker room, picked up his sports bag, and prepared to leave the court.

"Huh? Guan Ping, haven't left yet? ”

"yes, Hikoichi, why are you back again?"

"Oh, I forgot to take the data sheet, come back and get it, you wait for me, let's go together."

"Okay!"

Aida Hikoichi and Guan Ping walked under the shaded path outside the training hall, Aida Hikoichi was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "Guan Ping, you can only be used as a substitute for every game now, many times you can't play, and you can only play for a few minutes, have you ever regretted it?" ”

"No, Hikoichi, I think as long as I can play basketball, I'm very happy! What about you? Have you ever regretted it? The coach still hasn't removed your alternate status to this day. ”

Guan Ping smiled a little innocently, but he cared more about Hikoichi Aida.

"To be honest, I was really annoyed for a while, very depressed and regretful, but the coach talked to me, Xiandao seniors and Xihao seniors talked to me, I think what they said is very reasonable, even if I can't play, but what I'm doing is also helping everyone win, as long as the Lingnan team can enter the national competition, or even win the national championship, even if I am only an intelligence officer or team manager of the Lingnan team in the future, I won't regret it!!"

"Well, that's right, Hikoichi! I think so too, even if I am not allowed to play in every game, or only let me play for one minute, as long as I can win for our Lingnan and contribute a little bit of my strength, I will not regret it! Because, I really like to play basketball, only Lingnan has given me this opportunity! ”

"Each of us, whether big or small, from the moment we are born, fate may have predestined our future achievements and heights. However, even if you are a small person, don't be presumptuous, every little person should stick to a big dream. Because, maybe at a certain moment in fate, the shining point of the little person will make him the one who creates miracles! ”

The country's No. 1 scout, senior basketball reporter, Hikoichi Aida, excerpted from: "Memoirs - Lingnan Dynasty"

Time, back to the last 10 seconds of the second overtime of Sanno Industries VS Lingnan.

The players on both sides, who have exhausted their physical strength and are completely overdrawn, can no longer run, and the score is now 102:101, and Sanno Industries is still one point ahead.

Zebei no longer had the strength to break through, so after catching a pass from a teammate and blocking it with the help of his teammates, he chose to shoot a direct jumper.

"Bell~"

There is no physical strength, the arc of the shot is too low, the basketball bounces out, Ah Fu endured the tremor of his right leg, gritted his teeth and jumped up, and finally grabbed this rebound in front of the huge Roshan of Sanno Industries, this huge Roshan is the center of Sanno Industries who appeared on the bench for Kawada, the younger brother of Masashi Kawada, Mikio Kawada.

After throwing the basketball to Chen Xihao, Ah Fu hugged his right leg and fell down in pain, and after that jump just now, his right leg was already cramping.

Chen Xihao was also exhausted, he had just seen clearly from the attribute panel in his mind, the value of endurance had turned into a bright red value of -2, that is to say, he was now in a state of overdraft, and he could completely fall down like Ah Fu at any time.

Holding the basketball, Chen Xihao looked at the fairy road that also ran a few steps, and began to wheck violently on his knees, it turned out that the fairy road had also reached the limit? Are we really going to lose?

Holding on to his tired eyelids, Chen Xihao seemed to see a blue figure running towards the half of Sanwang Industry, who? Who could it be? At this time, he could still run, and after blinking his eyes vigorously, Chen Xihao saw clearly that the blue figure, with a huge number 11 printed on his back.

On the scoreboard, the countdown time is slowly beating, 9, 8, 7, 6......

On the side of Sanno Industries, Zebei was pointing at the front court and roaring, asking his teammates to chase after the blue figure......

"Turn on...... Long pass ......"

An orange-red arc that spanned 28 meters flew from the defensive half of the Lingnan team to the three-point line of the defensive half of Sanno Industries, and after throwing the ball, Chen Xihao also fell heavily to the ground, "Knock~", at the last moment of the game, he handed over the decision of fate to his teammates.

At this time, the blue figure had just run to the opponent's free throw line, and behind him, there were two players from Sanno Industries, who were only two or three meters away from him.

The time on the scoreboard has been counted down to the last few seconds, 5, 4, 3......

No. 11 jumped high, caught this long pass from the air, landed, and used the most common basic basketball action, a three-step layup, which is also the "little man layup" that is often shouted in the mouth of the Xiangbei team's Sakuragi flower road......

One step, two steps......

With a slight shake of his right hand, the basketball fell into the net...... 102:103

Lingnan substitute center, No. 11 Guan Ping, who played only 2 minutes, played 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks, and scored: 2 points......

However, the Lingnan team relied on his key 2 points to defeat the powerful Sanno Industry and successfully entered the top 16 of the national competition.
