Chapter 137: First Defeat

Fuji's return to the field was roughly in the last minute and a half of the game, when the Xiangbei lineup was the same as in the first half, and Hainan was absent from the scorer Ryo Tsuki.

In terms of scores, Hainan has 82 points and 78 points compared with Xiangbei, leading by 4 points. Compared with the first half, Xiangbei in the second half made frequent mistakes in the attack due to the physical problems of the main players, while Hainan had a higher intensity on the bench than Xiangbei, and the main players in the first half, such as Mu Shenyi, Shiraishi Yuhui and Ryo Tsuaki, were still at ease.

Towards the end of the game, Hainan's offensive became more and more solid, and the defense was still as rigorous as in the first half. With the passage of time, the winners and kings are becoming more and more profound behind the Hainan team.

Yayoi Aida and her assistant duo, who hurried back from the Shoyang and Buri venues, couldn't calm down as soon as they rushed into the arena and watched the score for a long time.

The assistant brother asked a little pessimistically: "Is Hainan going to win again?" ”

Aida Yayoi subconsciously wanted to nod, but for some reason he stopped in time, shook his head and said, "No, Xiangbei still has a chance to turn defeat into victory, and there is still time to do it." Moreover, Xiangbei is ready to change the player to play. ”

When Aida Yayoi returned, he was just in time for Fuji's re-appearance, and this Fuji royal sister fan, after seeing Fuji's performance in the arena, completely sank and became a loyal believer, standing up unknowingly.

Fuji's play may not mean victory, but in the eyes of some, it represents hope. This is true in the eyes of Ayako, in the eyes of Mu Du and others, in the eyes of Coach Anzai, and even in the eyes of Coach Hainan.

In addition, the woman who can lift Fuji's spirits the most, Haruko Akagi, is the same at this moment, with her hands clenched on her chest, praying for Xiangbei, praying for her brother, and praying for Fuji.

"Please bless my brother and Fuji Senpai for winning the game!" Haruko closed her eyes and whispered.

Fuji walked on the floor and couldn't hear Haruko's soft voice, and if she could have been louder, maybe Fuji would have been better.

Fuji's breathing was still very heavy, and there were beads of sweat on his body, looking at Hainan, and he was tired of supporting his knees. Not only him, everyone in Xiangbei was full of exhaustion, but looking at the countdown to determine the victory, they all had to hold on for the last 90 seconds.

It was Xiangbei's turn to attack, Miyagi dribbled the ball and trotted through the half, and the other four people in Xiangbei also trotted to find their respective positions, because of their physical strength, their movements were much slower than in the first half.

Miyagi feigned passing the ball to Mitsui, and with this small gesture lured to the opposite side, so that he had a chance to throw the ball directly into the three-point line. Everyone looked at the flight trajectory of the ball, and the runner smoothly crossed Muto Masa, cut into the line, raised his head and looked at the basketball, jumped on the way and then threw the ball to the basket, and the process of empty catch was completed in one go.

People who were ready to compete for rebounds under the basket watched this rather casual goal successfully enter the net, and they were shocked off the court for a while. Is it so easy to hit the ball in? In mid-air, just concave a pose, pose and throw it in?

Under the discussion, Hainan counterattacked, and when Ryaki Liang was away, Xiangbei shifted his focus to Amu, so that Amu had to share the ball with Shiraishi, and in the single fight with Akagi, Shiraishi, who has always been able to score points, was a little pressured in the face of Akagi, who was trying his best.

"Good guy, even in just one game, he's improving." Shiraishi was secretly shocked by the change in some details of Akagi's defense.

In this pressure, Shiraishi hurriedly threw the ball out with a hook hand, and although the ball was not capped by Akagi, the angle and strength of the shot were off, and the basketball finally slipped down after a circle on the hoop of the basket, and then the rebound was taken by Akagi.

Akagi threw the ball hard to the outside, and Miyagi took the lead, responding to Akagi's pass. It was a great time to equalize, and Miyagi forced the last of his strength out of his almost physically dry body, and instead burst out of his fastest speed at the moment, all the way to the basket.

Even Fuji couldn't break out at such a speed as Miyagi at this time, and he couldn't cooperate with Miyagi to play a fast attack, and Xiangbei's hope could only be pinned on Miyagi at the moment. But when he looked from afar, a dark shadow passed by him, and the number 8 behind him shone brightly.

"Amu!" Fuji was stunned, and immediately shouted to Miyagi in the distance: "Miyagi, watch your back!" ”

Miyagi also noticed Amu when he heard the sound, when he looked at it for the first time out of the corner of his eye, Amu was still far away, but Amu's physical strength and speed were much stronger than Miyagi, when he jumped when he made a layup, Amu in the air had already appeared in front of him, and with a wave of his indifferent hand, he slapped the ball in his hand directly, and hit Xiangbei's ambition head-on.

Miyagi, who landed on the ground, looked at Mu in disbelief, "How, how did you end up here?" ”

At 19 minutes and 25 seconds in the second half, Hainan applied for a substitution, and Tsukiri, who had only been off for two minutes, appeared on the court again with a smile.

At this time, Hainan, which led Xiangbei by two points 82-80, still adopted the strategy of scoring points steadily, as long as the goal was ensured, even if Xiangbei could squeeze out 5 seconds to play a wave of Tianxiu's three-point shots, Hainan also won. Under this strategy, Hainan made frequent passes when attacking, and the kid Ryo Tsukiki also joined the passing army steadily.

At 19 minutes and 50 seconds, Hainan's Baishi Youhui and Mu Shen played a wave of classic and perfect cooperation, and the slam dunk was successful.

At 19 minutes and 56 seconds, Mitsui shot three points sharply, but his body was already at the limit of his hands, and when he raised his hands heavily, this ball finally sanbuki directly announced the victory of the Hainan team.

In the end, the Hainan team won the game with 84 points to 80 points from Xiangbei. As Coach Anxi analyzed before the game, Xiangbei, which failed to lead Hainan by 15 points in the first half, finally lost the game.

In the celebration of the Hainan team and the cheers of the whole stadium, the Xiangbei players were depressed and lonely, and several players, including Fuji, were sad and cried with self-blame.

Back in the locker room, Mitsui, Miyagi, or Fuji can be heard blaming themselves for their defeats, and their unwillingness can be seen. Coach Anzai, who walked into the locker room with Ayako, waited until their discussion ended before he said to them kindly: "Everyone performed very well in today's game!" What a great game! As I told you before the game, you are very strong, and Xiangbei is very strong! Don't be distracted by today's game, prepare for the next game, and we can still get into the country after winning! ”

As Coach Anzai said, Xiangbei's national qualification has not yet been lost, and after 1 win and 1 loss, they still have one last chance to decide the qualification, and that is the match against Xiangyang a week later.
