Chapter 22: A Difficult Match: Tsukutake
In the away players' lounge, the atmosphere is eerie.
Coach Shigeichi Taoka paced back and forth in the room with his hands on his arms and a gloomy face. The players in Lingnan also remained silent.
Jinjiuwu University actually gave Lingnan such a dismount, which was unexpected.
According to the time of the battle between the two sides, 3 o'clock in the afternoon, this should have been the time before the end of class.
No one thought that Tsukuwu High School would organize students to support the school basketball team in the second class in the afternoon.
Heavy pressure permeated the hearts of every Lingnan basketball player.
Chen Xihao quietly observed the attribute panel in his mind at the moment, and fell into deep thought.
Strength: 80 (+10) - 10
Speed: 80 (+7)-5
Stamina: 65 (+3)-10
Sensitivity: 75 (+9)-5
Special Ability 1: None
Special Skill 2: None
Props come with special skill 1: Drift Shot - Kobe Bryant's Finger Guard (Cooldown 10 minutes)
Props come with special skill 2: Drift dunk - Kobe Bryant's finger guard (cooldown 15 minutes)
Wear equipment (only one item of equipment can be worn on the same part): White Bracer (Agility +2), Blue Knee Brace (Stamina +3, Strength +3), Kobe Bryant's Finger Guards (Strength +7, Speed +7, Agility +7)
The negative effect of Tsukutake's home stadium has a great impact on the Lingnan team, and even after a person like Xihao, whose basic attribute is against the sky, is debuffed, his stamina is lower than 60, only 58. This means that in the whole game, physical strength will be the most direct factor limiting his performance.
For other Lingnan players, the impact is even greater, and Chen Xihao can't see the basic attributes of the Lingnan players, except for the four negative effects mentioned in the mission. According to the convention, the biggest damage to the away players by the home cheering spectators should be the psychological impact, which will affect the normal performance of the players.
Whether it is offensive or defensive, if there is a lot of pressure in the mind and there is too much interference, the offensive action will be out of shape, there will be more mistakes in the coordination, and there will be more fouls in the defense.
Condition 1 of the mission is to win the game.
The main conditions that restrict the victory of this game are psychological factors and physical factors. If we find a way to solve it, it can also be overcome.
However, the restriction in the second condition of the mission will be the core key point of this game, and no more than 5 fouls of more than two people will leave the field?
This is the pitfall in the conditions for completing this task, and it is also the biggest problem.
Because the matter of substitution is not something that Chen Xihao can control, the decision is in the hands of Coach Taoka, do you want to complete this task? Must challenge Coach Taoka's authority?? Toxic, right? This side quest.
Just when Chen Xihao was pondering Shigeichi Taoka, Coach Tianoka began to speak.
"We in Lingnan are one of the strongest teams in Kanagawa Prefecture, and we have entered national competitions many times. And what about Tsukutake? Their best result was none other than the top 8 in Kanagawa Prefecture. In terms of strength, we completely surpass each other, so don't let the momentum of their home stadium be affected, play your normal training performance, and you can win! Do you understand?? ”
"Yes, Coach!!"
Coach Taoka's words were once again answered by all members of the Lingnan basketball team, but Chen Xihao obviously felt that this was a little weaker than when he was on the bus before he came.
"Okay, let's get ready and warm up!!"
"Yes!"
----------
The Lingnan basketball team, which had changed their jerseys, returned to the court again.
As the captain, Usumi Jun followed the coach and walked into the field second.
Xiandao, as an ace team, played at the end of the team, and Chen Xihao stood in the penultimate position of the team, almost entering with Xiandao.
The deafening shout rang out again.
"Defeat Lingnan!"
"Qiang Qiang !!"
"Tsukutake, you will win!!"
"Qiang Qiang !!"
After hearing the thunderous cheers of the audience, Immortal Dao's sword eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"What a noise! Like countless flies buzzing in the sky! ”
Chen Xihao was the first to speak, and after hearing Xihao's analogy, the corners of Xiandao's mouth turned up slightly, and his brows stretched a little.
What an apt analogy. Let's go, warm up. ”
Xiandao patted Chen Xihao on the shoulder, and the two walked to the court together, and began to bend their legs, stretch, jog, and shoot.
Thirty minutes later, with a whistle from the referee. The substitute teams of both sides returned to their seats, and the starting players walked into the field!
"Come on!! Yuju seniors, sendo seniors, ikegami, off-road, grass planting seniors! Come on! ”
"Come on! Come on!! ”
"Come on! Come on!! ”
Led by Hikoichi Aida, several first-year freshmen on the bench began to cheer on the starters who came on the court.
However, in the cheering of the integrated Tsukutake cheerleaders, this little bit of encouragement burst like a bubble and drowned out the roar of the audience.
"Defeat Lingnan!"
"Qiang Qiang !!"
"Tsukutake, you will win!!"
"Qiang Qiang !!"
Chen Xihao learned from Shigeichi Taoka, sat on the chair with his arms folded, and looked at the players on both sides with a cold face, Ah Fu sat next to Chen Xihao, his eyes were fixed on Nango Junichiro and Wu Daiyuwa in the Tsukumu team, and the fighting spirit was high, and he seemed to be not affected by the away game at all.
The two sides had already jumped the ball, and the tall captain of Uozumi actually lost to the opponent's No. 15 player, first-year Nango Junichiro.
The first to receive the ball was Tsukutake's No. 7 point guard Hiroshi Natsume.
He dribbled like the wind and quickly rushed to the edge of the three-point line in the Lingnan half, and Tomoyuki Uekusa couldn't keep up with his speed at all. was thrown out of two positions.
"Captain, catch the ball!"
Just when Chi Shang of the Lingnan team hurriedly ran from the side to help defend, he also threw away his defender Wu Daiyuhe. No. 7 Natsume passed the basketball to the hands of Tomokazu Wu with a pass to the ground.
After Wu Daiyou and received the ball, his right leg stepped back one after another, and he made a quick shot on the edge of the three-point line.
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, the basketball hollowed into the net.
3:0, it was Tsuhisa Takeshi who scored first, and it was an opening three-pointer, which everyone couldn't have imagined.
"Good shot! Natsume! ”
After scoring the goal, Wu Daiyuwa high-fived Hiroshi Natsume in celebration.
On the other hand, on the Lingnan side, Ikegami, who lost the ball due to his misposition, looked annoyed, and Tomoyuki Uekusa, who did not keep up with Hiroshi Natsume, was also very frustrated.
"It's okay, it's okay, steady, we'll return the ball."
At this moment, Xiandao picked up the basketball, threw it to the cross-country at the bottom line, and opened his mouth to cheer everyone up.
Switching offense and defense, the Lingnan team still controlled the ball by Tomoyuki Uekusa, and slowly advanced to the half of Tsukutake, his eyes observing left and right in the crowd.
At this time, Sendo, who was standing on the right side of the free throw line, bowed down and pretended to make a forward action, attracting Kenta Tsukutake No. 8 Mine, who was defending him, to quickly retreat, ready to start with him.
No. 8 didn't expect that Xiandao's bowing this time was just a feint, he quickly half-turned and ran out of an empty seat, and at this time, the ball of Zhicao Zhizhi was also just right to pass in front of Xiandao.
Xiandao, who ran out of the vacant position, had a chance to make a shot, and he immediately made a shooting move, but at this time, No. 4 Wu Daiyuhe, who was defending Ikesami, jumped up and was about to block Xiandao's shooting angle.
Xiandao, who had already jumped into the air, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, put away the half-lifted basketball, bypassed the waist of No. 4 Wu Daiyouhe, and pushed it to Yuzhuchun under the basket.
After receiving the ball, Yuzhu Chun stomped his feet, roared, and turned around to make a violent two-handed split!
Unexpectedly, at the moment of turning around, there was a sudden flower in front of his eyes, and a person seemed to be carried by his shoulder and fell out of the bottom line.
A sharp whistle of "beep~~~~"!
"Blue No. 4, hit man with the ball!"
The baseline referee clenched his fist with one hand and hit the palm of the other hand while reaching out and pointing at the fish.
"Hey! Referee, I didn't deliberately hit him at all, he fell out on his own, okay?? ”
Yuzhu's deep voice carried a hint of anger, and when he wanted to go to the baseline area to find the referee again, he was hurriedly hugged by the cross-country and Chishang who rushed over, and pulled him into the distance.
On the edge of the bottom line, the No. 15 center, who was stretching out his hands and being pulled up by his teammates, Nango Koichiro, had a smile on the corner of his mouth that had succeeded in his plan.
Due to a foul by the Lingnan team, Tsukutake got another chance to serve.
No. 7 Natsume advanced steadily with the ball, and after coming to the top of the three-point arc in the southern half of the Lingnan, No. 5 and Izumi Takashi quickly ran over, stood firmly on both feet and stuck Tomoyuki Uekusa with half a body, and made a beautiful block, No. 7 Natsume quickly got rid of Uekusa's defense and advanced to the free throw line.
Sendo, who was standing on the edge of the free throw line, rushed up to defend and jammed the advance path of No. 7 Natsume, who immediately distributed the ball to Tsukutake captain Tomokazu Takeri.
Woody made a top-up shot from outside the bottom free throw line, and the tricked Ikegami jumped. As a result, he hit the ball to the ground, and the rebounded basketball passed to the hands of No. 15 Nango Koichiro.
"Drink, ah!!"
After receiving the ball, No. 15 Nanxiang immediately pulled onions on dry land, and his hands were ready to be buckled!
This behavior angered Lingnan's captain Yu Suchun.
A first-year freshman, first won once in the jump ball, and then put him in defense, and now he dares to pull out the light on the tiger's head, guarding him to fish and play dunk, what are you kidding!!
"Smack!!
"Boom!!"
Nanxiang Lianren was slapped down by Yuzhu with the ball and fell to the sidelines.
At this time, a more sharp "beep~~" sounded.
"BLU player No. 4, foul on the hitman!"
"White team free throws, twice!"
The referee at the bottom of the southern half of the Lingnan slapped his right palm on the arm of his left hand and made a foul to the referee's bench.
"What?? How was that a foul just now? ”
An even louder roar appeared in the referee's ears.
