Chapter 82: Mr. Key
In the five minutes of the second half, Fuji was lured by Minowa's players and fouled twice with the ball, and then was replaced by Coach Anzai, sitting on the bench of the bench to calm down.
This was the first time in the game that Fuji was substituted for a foul, and after the game, Fuji was angry and sat in his position to watch the game.
At first, he deliberately resisted this arrangement and order of Coach Anthy, and it would undoubtedly be detrimental to the team to replace him at such a critical moment. Fuji is still a consistent scorer on the field after all.
Coach Anzai just looked at the excited Fuji, and did not mean to withdraw the order.
"Sometimes it's nice to watch a game from a different angle. Fuji-san, sit down and watch the game with me! Coach Anthy said. He patted the place next to him lightly and motioned for Fuji to sit down.
After Fuji sat down, he still looked unhappy: "Coach Anzai, you said that I was the key to this game, and I can't just waste time off the field and watch the team fall into trouble." ”
"Roar~" Coach Anzai smiled, "Don't worry, Fuji-san, I'm sure you won't be sitting for long before you play, just calm down and watch the game!" ”
After hearing this, Coach Anzai only promised him that he would play in a while, so he didn't think much about it and turned his head to watch the game.
Ayako looked at this side from the side, a little worried, he was still so angry when he saw Fuji for the first time. The first foul was tricked by the opposite player, and the second time was a deliberate performance after being angry, but fortunately, he was restrained and did not move much, so the referee just awarded a hand to hit the person with the ball, not a technical foul.
Ayako feels that she understands Fuji's mood a little bit, but this is a game, and there are all kinds of strategies and means in the game, and even if Fuji doesn't face it today, he'll see it in the future, and not everyone's style of play is so disciplined.
I don't know how Coach Anthy comforted him? Ayako thought about it, she sighed, sometimes, the way the coach and the player get along, she can't insert it.
Another five minutes passed, and Xiangbei unsurprisingly fell short in the competition with Minowa. Although Konobu Mudu, who replaced Fuji, can also play as a shooter, his scoring ability is still not stable compared to Fuji. Relying solely on a single combination of Akagi and Miyagi, Minowa has stretched the difference to 10 points again.
A few minutes ago, he was very anxious when he saw Xiangbei behind, but then he finally quieted down to observe the players in Minowa.
From this point on, Fuji gradually saw some signs of the intention of the second half of the Minowa.
In terms of skill alone, Kazuya Tatsuhiko is one of the few people in the entire Minowa team who can match Miyagi, and his speed is not lagging behind, and the most important thing is that he is much taller than Miyagi, and he has an advantage over Kamiyagi that cannot be ignored. Fuji thought about it, and besides, Kaoru Kawaga is a relatively well-rounded player in his own right, and he can break through and project, which is the most stable point in the Minowa team, and Takao not only can't limit Kazuhiko in the first half, but also can't limit Kawaga Kaoru in the second half.
And what about Ren Fukui? Arrange him to be in the opposite position with himself, shouldn't it be as simple as just trying to make way for Kazuya and Kaga, or is it just a matter of sticking to himself and cheating and fouling?
Although he watched the game from the perspective of a spectator, he could see a lot of Minowa's routines, but when it came to himself, he fell into a misunderstanding again. Fortunately, Coach Anthy reminded him in time.
"Fuji-san, as of today, you've only been in contact with basketball for more than two months!" Coach Anzay said, "It is already an incredible thing to be able to improve to the current level in more than two months, and the average person who plays basketball for two months can't practice your current level, let alone play." ”
Fuji originally simply thought that Coach Anzai was going to praise him, his face turned red, and everyone began to flutter, but when he thought about it, he had some eyebrows related to the game.
After thinking about it for a while, Fuji showed an expression of sudden realization, "Do you want to target me for my lack of competition experience?" ”
"Roar, Fuji-san, it seems that I am not wrong, you really can't sit for long." Anthy smiled, her body shaking with the laughter.
I believe that I won't be able to sit for long before I play, that's what the coach said! When he heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and stood up: "Can I play?" Instructor! ”
Coach Anzai nodded, and said to Fuji again: "Before going on the field, I have to say a few words to Fuji classmates." ”
Speaking of this, Coach Anzai gently pulled Fuji who was standing and sat down, "First of all, the other party arranged for the No. 6 player (i.e., Ren Fukui) to keep an eye on you, not only because Fuji-san, your lack of experience in the game, but also because of the single means of scoring that you have shown so far. ”
After thinking about it, Fuji nodded in agreement. Indeed, no matter how he practiced layups in private, or with Akagi and Miyagi, he still preferred to shoot in the game.
Comparing the data, you can find that the only way to score is to shoot. Kaoru Kaga made a bold assumption based on this statistic, that is, Fuji has not yet mastered the means of scoring with the ball, cutting to the basket, or rather, he is not confident in such things as breaking through the interior defense and making a layup.
It's true that Fuji is not confident enough in breaking through this kind of thing, he is now more inclined to be a simple shooter, his mid-range shot is so stable, and there are good players like Captain Yukimura and Akagi in the interior team, not to mention, his current height, it is too self-conscious to want to participate in the struggle of the group of 190 cm big men under the basket.
He thought that when he used the potion to grow taller, pull his height up a little, and exercise his physique stronger, he could also participate in the inside basket.
Although Fuji's progress is rapid, his problem is still exposed. The previous games were won, and this shortcoming was not exposed and magnified, but in today's game, Kaoru Kaga almost presented all his problems.
As a newcomer, it is natural to have a variety of problems, and these problems are also something that needs to be overcome in the process of growing up. And Anzai Mitsuyoshi, he has such confidence in Fuji, this boy's performance is like a miracle, just like in the game with Lingnan, Miyagi has contributed a lot, but the blade that completely pierced Lingnan's soft underbelly is actually the young man in front of him who is inexperienced in the game.
There will always be new growth for him, just like in the first half of today, when the opponent decided that he was not good at three-point shooting, he responded with consecutive three-pointers and took the lead in recovering the disadvantage for the team.
"As I said, Fuji-san, you are the key gentleman in today's competition, provided that you can fully perform the level of daily practice. Our opponents thought they knew everything about us, but it seemed to me that they had already lost to Fuji-san. ”
Fuji's expression showed unprecedented surprise, he opened his lips slightly, swallowed, and didn't know what to say. In the past, Coach Anthy praised him, and he must have been very excited, but today, he felt that he was praised by the coach to an unprecedented height, and he didn't even know that Coach Anthy could have such a high affirmation of himself.
Rukawa Kaede hasn't received such praise either! Maybe Sakuragi is also ...... Fuji didn't know very well, but he felt the warmth in his chest, like a stream slowly flowing through his heart, warm tolerance and washing.
"Well, today's game, please. Fuji students! Anzai's last words lingered in Fuji's ears for a long time.
Before going on the field, Ayako stopped Fuji with concern.
"Fuji ......" she cared, but after seeing Fuji's expression, she couldn't say anything else, she saw Fuji's face, blooming with a brilliant smile, and a bright and confident gaze, it felt a bit like usual, but not really.
Fuji turned his head to look at Ayako, suddenly raised his hand and stretched out his thumb, and said with a smile, "Leave it to me!" ”
Ayako smiled with satisfaction, nodded heavily, and looked at Fuji's back as she walked on, before slowly sitting down. Sakurano-senpai next to her saw it in her eyes, with a smile in the corner of her eyes and a wicked smile on her lips.
At 11 minutes and 49 seconds in the second half, Fuji appeared again, swept away his impatient expression when he left the game, and his gloomy mood was swept away. But what remains unchanged is that he is still unhappy with the body movements of Hitoshi Fukui in front of him.
You ready? Minowa bastards, I'm back to give you a good look! Fuji Sunshine's smile is not there, and it has changed to a feeling of black belly.
Kaoru Kawaga thought that Fuji would be pressed to sit on the bench for a while, and maybe when the situation was extremely disadvantaged, Xiangbei would put him up for a fight. Unexpectedly, this process came a little quickly.
But that doesn't change anything, Kaoru Kaga thought, although it does surprise me that you have mastered the three-point shot, but a newcomer who has only been playing basketball for two months has other shortcomings, can you make up for one shortcoming, is there a way to make up for all the shortcomings?
Kawaga Kaoru walked up to Hitoshi Fukui, patted the other party's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "According to the plan at the beginning of the second half, he can only score by shooting, whether it is a mid-range shot or a three-point shot, as long as he sticks to him, he will be restricted." If you have the chance, make a few more fouls and let him go out early. ”
Hitoshi Fukui nodded in understanding, and then slowly ran towards Fuji.
Fuji closed his eyes and remembered the scenes from his daily practice, not only the memories in his head, but also the memories in his body, and then, today's game was also turned into a short film little by little.
When Hitoshi Fukui ran in, he saw Fuji standing there with his eyes closed, and he was puzzled. What kind of routine is this? Do you still want to play with your eyes closed?
As soon as he finished thinking, Fuji slowly opened his eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Fuji's eyes, as if there was light flowing from Fuji's pupils, Fuji suddenly gave him a strange feeling, this feeling came from Fuji's body, as if something suddenly happened, but he couldn't describe it in words.
Fuji opened his eyes and saw Hitoshi Fukui, and he looked at Kaoru Kaga not far away, and the other party's eyes seemed to be on him.
I'll show you something good in a moment, he thought. And smiled imperceptibly.
