Chapter 114: The Shooters in Xiangbei (I)
On the way to the gymnasium, the assistant suddenly asked Yayoi Aita, what do you think of the four teams this year? The four teams mentioned here are, of course, the top four in the county.
Aida Yayoi stroked the hair next to his ears, thought for a moment and said: "In my opinion, Xiangyang and Hainan, today's winner is likely to be the king of this summer. As for Buri and Xiangbei, they may still be slightly weaker than the first two in terms of team strength and level. I don't mean to underestimate them, to be honest, to be able to stand out from so many teams, it's proven that they are. But if you compare it with Xiangyang and Hainan......"
The meaning is self-evident, the assistant looked sideways at Yayoi Aida in the passenger seat, and was silent for a moment before asking her again: "Then who do you think can win Hainan or Xiangyang?" β
Aida Yayoi shook his head and said, "Judging from the situation in the first half, I can't say what the result will be?" Although in terms of historical record, Hainan has achieved 2 wins and 0 defeats against Xiangyang, but this year's Xiangyang has changed too much, and it is the most likely team to beat Hainan among the three. β
"So are you optimistic about Xiangyang this year?"
"I don't know, on the one hand, I really hope that a new king will be born this summer, but on the other hand, I really can't imagine the picture of Hainan losing the game."
Yayoi Aida, who is good at setting up various flags, is still so vague about the prediction of the match between Xiangyang and Hainan until the end. But when asked about the results of Xiangbei and Buri, she thought she had given a data objectively.
Sixty percent! Buri has a 60% chance of winning the match!
Speculations and predictions like this are not only Aida's personal feelings, but those who watched the game at the scene, when they saw the game for about fifteen minutes, they all had a similar feeling as Aida Yayoi.
"Xiangbei's competition may end here!"
"Xiangbei is not only blown up by Buri on the inside, but even the only outside shooter is also restricted, how can it not lose!"
"What's the change? These five people are the strongest lineup in Xiangbei so far! β
"What if you don't change it? With these five people, they can't beat Buri. β
β¦β¦
The pessimistic atmosphere spread in the gymnasium, like a dark cloud hanging over the sky of northern Xiangbei. Even some of the players in Xiangbei themselves have been infected with the same emotions.
Mitsui and Fuji may be the only light in Xiangbei on the court. Compared with the worried bench, Coach Anzai actually smiled with relief, probably seeing Fuji and Mitsui on the field, but when the faces of others were still cloudy, the faces of these two people were as bright and bright as the sun hiding behind the clouds.
After the substitution, Xiangbei, because of the departure of Miyagi, will be less mobile than before. Coach Anzai didn't make it clear whether it was to let Fuji or Mitsui Shou replace Miyagi as the organizer.
"The current situation doesn't make any sense to organize a team, even if the inside line has been captured, as long as Akagi-san and they can hold down the two people in Buri (Ryo Fujisaki and Akihiko Uesugi), Fuji-san and Mitsui-san, as long as they keep scoring on the outside! There is more than one shooter in Xiangbei! Coach Anthy thought to himself.
The pace at the beginning was still very gentle, and Mitsui Shou, as the people of Buri thought, seemed to be performing a substitute player who replaced Miyagi, and slowly dribbled through the half.
Katsuhiro Konishi was wary of him at first, and kept a small distance to guard Mitsui. After sitting on the bench for five minutes, Katsuhiro Konishi, who came on the field again, not only stabilized his mentality, but also improved his state, and the whole person was immersed in a state of extreme concentration.
But as soon as Mitsui passed the ball to Fuji after halftime.
This move made the people of Wuli both satisfied and disappointed, satisfied that Xiangbei still wanted to rely on Fuji to score, they were at the end of the road, and the disappointment was that the substitution was not a deep meaning at all, and Xiangbei was just like that?
Not only Ryo Fujisaki, but Katsuhiro Konishi also had such thoughts, so after seeing Mitsui's pass, he directly shook off Mitsui Shou and ran towards Fuji.
As long as the 13th is blocked, Xiangbei will definitely not be our opponent. Katsuhiro Konishi thought.
Watching Konishi desperately run towards him, Fuji who was entangled with Yukino, suddenly burst into a smile full of deep meaning at the corner of his mouth. When Katsuhiro Konishi's body approached, he suddenly faked a jumper and re-passed the ball to Mitsui's hands.
Mitsui received the ball and almost omitted all preparations, stood in front of the three-point line, bent his knees, slowly lifted the ball to the front of his sight, and then took off with the strength of his lower body and pushed the ball out. The ball flew for a moment, and as soon as Mitsui's body hit the ground, he heard a whoosh, and the basketball fell steadily into the basket.
βNICE!β
"Good shot! Mitsui! β
After Xiangbei faced a predicament again, the long-lost goal detonated the voice of the Xiangbei rest area, and even Mu Dui Gongyan pulled his throat and shouted regardless of it.
Watching the basketball into the net, the cry exploded in his ears, Mitsui's expression became clear, in the past year or so, there was no moment or even a moment like now that made him happy and moved, he looked at his hands, and then clenched hard.
Fuji ran to Mitsui's side and high-fived him when he returned to defense, and he was happy for Mitsui from the bottom of his heart.
Ryo Fujisaki frowned and thought, "I actually shot a three-point shot so decisively!" Is it accidental? No, that shooting posture is impossible to be smooth to that level without tens of thousands of shooting practices! Did Xiangbei add another shooter to the field? β
"Bright!" Akihiko Uesugi's voice brought back Ryo Fujisaki, who was caught up in conjecture.
Ryo Fujisaki gritted his teeth and rushed to Xiangbei's basket, "No matter how the other party changes, it can't change the fact that the inside line is suppressed, and all we need to accomplish is the one thing of non-stop scoring." β
With incomparably heavy determination, Ryo Fujisaki once again broke into the inner line of Xiangbei. It has to be said that the twin towers of Bururi, from the beginning to the present, have maintained the suppression of the inner line of Xiangbei without slackening, perhaps none of them can necessarily take advantage in front of Akagi Gangxian in singles, but when they cooperate to form a tacit understanding, play to their strengths and avoid the head-to-head confrontation between the single and Akagi, they can easily score.
30 to 25! The difference that had just been narrowed by Mitsui became 5 points again.
Once again, it was Xiangbei's turn to fight back, and in the face of Mitsui and Fuji's joint pressing, Buri's outside line appeared cautious, and it was obvious that Mitsui's three-point shot just now caught their attention.
Konishi swayed and hesitated between Mitsui and Fuji, and when the ball was handed over to Fuji again, he was a little worried but didn't dare to stay too far away from Mitsui, for fear that the previous scene would be repeated again.
