Chapter 16: Catch Up!
On this day, Ryota Miyagi wore a school uniform and walked on campus with a lost face.
"Hey, I heard there was a game at school today."
"Really? What competition? ”
"The basketball game between our school's basketball team and Tsukutake High School is in the basketball hall. Let's go and check it out! ”
Today's campus is full of news about the school basketball team, and Miyagi can't help but pay attention. When he heard about the basketball game, he thought of Ayako Inoue, the basketball team members, and Fuji.
"Really, let's go check it out!"
Miyagi hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to follow the students to the basketball hall.
When I arrived at the arena, there were already many students standing on the sidelines or on the second floor.
Miyagi, who was standing at the doorway like everyone else, happened to see the scoreboard next to the stadium.
23:20?
Miyagi glanced at the score, and without much thought, he found Ayako Inoue next to the scoreboard, and his eyes turned into hearts in an instant.
"Ayako!"
Inoue Ayako is wearing a ponytail, wearing a white short-sleeved T, full of refreshing style, all her attention is on the field, and she shouts to Fuji Shin, who is on the stage at this moment: "Come on, Fuji!" ”
Following Ayako's voice, Miyagi's gaze also shifted to the field, and he was immediately surprised to see Fuji slowly walking on the field. "That guy, I think it's a first-year, he can appear in the first grade, it's interesting."
Speaking of returning to the court, there were 15 points in the first half, the score was 23:20, and Tsukutake was ahead.
Tsuhisatake replaced the player Empress Dowager Feng Jian and successfully stopped the decline.
Seeing this, Coach Anzai decided to change the players, replacing Eiji Suzuki, who was physically and mentally exhausted in the first half of dealing with Takashi Izumi, and replacing it with Shinya Fuji, who was in the first year.
Wearing a red jersey, Fuji Shiiya, carrying the number 13 on his back, finally made his belated and shining debut.
"Xiangbei substitution!"
At this moment, Fuji's figure attracted the attention of the audience.
Fuji Shin couldn't hold back his excitement, mixed with a slight nervousness, and mentally hinted while appearing, "Okay, it's time to show the real technique." ”
The number 13 is reflected on Kazumi Kawasaki's lenses. Kawasaki Kazumi looked at the figure for a while, then turned to look at Mitsuyoshi Anzai and smiled, "First grade?" Teacher Anxi, it seems that there are good seedlings in Xiangbei this year! ”
Fuji found the defensive object on the debut, and at this point, Xiangbei's defensive posture has returned to one-on-one marking.
The game continued, Xiangbei became a gongfang, and Mu Dusk's bottom line kicked off to Fuji.
Fuji jogged and dribbled to the midfield, and Kenta Mine, who was on the opposite side, wanted to steal many times, but Fuji kept the ball and distributed it in time.
Not far away, Yukimura Tsuryo broke through Chigoshi Taro with the ball and made a layup, Sanada let make up for the defense but was shot falsely, Yukimura passed the ball in mid-air to Akagi behind Sanada.
Tsujiuwu and the others were unconscious, but they couldn't stop it, and watched Akagi dunk score.
In terms of the basketball skills that Fuji currently masters, breakthroughs and layups are difficult to execute and do not have, and Feng Kentai has a tight defense, which is really difficult to shoot, but fortunately, there are teammates to complement each other at this point.
Captain Tsuryo Yukimura and Tsuyoshi Akagi are both excellent interior players.
And I want to say one thing here, Tsukutake's No. 7 - Hiragukawa slowly exposed his weaknesses, which has been analyzed in front of the eyes of everyone in Xiangbei.
Although the man's tonnage and defense are outstanding, he is too bulky, and in terms of 15 minutes on the field, the man's physical strength is off the others.
Therefore, as time went on, when Xiangbei became the attacker, Akagi began to run, and the only person who was keeping an eye on Akagi was Tsukutake's captain Sanada Jean, and Hirakogawa's physical strength had declined.
At this time, Akagi and Yukimura's inner line cooperation can be effectively played.
"I really can't let up at all." Sanada Jean watched this scene, felt the pressure, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Outside the court, Kazumi Kawasaki watched Akagi Goken for a long time. "This Xiangbei team, because of the existence of Akagi, can occupy a place in the county competition!"
Miyagi Ryota also paid attention to Akagi, but then he was attracted by Ayako Inoue, who was cheering for Xiangbei outside the court, and lost his mind to look at it.
After a few more rounds of tossing and turning on the field, the score came to 30:28, and the score was always closely followed by a one-goal difference.
During this period, Tsuhisa's substitutions appeared to have an effect, from a single-core score to a multi-point flower, and Jean Sanada on the inside, Kenta Mine and Tomokazu Takero on the outside all showed stable scoring ability during this time.
And Xiangbei, relying on the hard support of Akagi and Yukimura, did not let the score open, and Fuji, who wanted to show the effectiveness of training, finally made a shot once in 3 minutes, but failed to score.
If at the beginning, the people of Jinjiuwu had a contempt for Xiangbei, then so far the performance, Xiangbei has won respect and attention, in the hearts of these people, Xiangbei who may meet in the county competition is a fierce rival that needs to be faced.
Jin Jiuwu, who has such an attitude, will never even despise a first-year player in northern Xiangbei.
Seeing that the time of the first half was approaching, he ran back and forth eagerly in his heart, and he wanted to shoot several times, but the opposing player's defense was not leaky.
That went on until the last minute of the first half.
Akagi held the ball and made a layup on the inside, Hirakokawa and Sanada let the joint defense, and Akagi passed the ball in mid-air to Yukimura behind the two, trying to imitate the scene not long ago. But this time Tsukutake was on guard, and Chigoshi Taro appeared at the right time and slapped Yukimura's ball in the air.
The flying ball falls into the next moment.
Coincidentally, everyone's attention was on basketball and the interior during this time, resulting in the empty-handed Xiangbei outside line being defended no longer tightly.
"Oops!"
Seeing this scene, Feng Jian secretly blamed himself and rushed forward.
At the same time, Akagi shouted at Fuji outside the arena: "Fuji! ”
Fuji who holds the ball understands that he has the best timing in the air defense at this moment, and his mind replays the crazy shooting practice of this week, from posture, angle to strength, as if everything is repeating naturally. With a gentle jump, the ball was flipped out.
Everyone watched as Fuji threw the ball, then watched as the ball drew a graceful parabola in the air, and finally plunged into the net.
"Entered!"
"Good shot!"
Fuji watched the ball go into the net in response, raised his arms high, and raised his arms and exhaled.
Akagi ran out of the line and rubbed the kid fiercely, with a satisfied face, but still didn't forget to instruct: "Good job, but don't be smug, the game is not over yet." ”
"Oh!" Fuji replied with high emotion.
32:32!
With Fuji's one-shot shot, Xiangbei finally tied Tsuhisashi in the first half, and there were 15 seconds left before the end of the first half, and Tsukutake theoretically had one more chance to attack.
But in the face of the all-out defense of the Xiangbei team in the last 15 seconds, Tsukutake failed to score in the last ball. When the whistle blew at the end of the half, Fuji's mid-shot shot became the swan song of the first half.
