"It was a very intense game, and until now, the two teams are still biting the score." In the first thirteen minutes of the first half, the stalemate of the game surprised Yayoi Aida.

However, this level is expected by some people, and it is related to the last ticket to the national competition in the county, and both sides will inevitably do their best not to leave regrets.

There were back and forth on the court, especially Mitsui in Xiangbei, who had scored three three-pointers in a row in the past two minutes, and there was a lot of uncontrollable weather, and even, when the opponent began to pay attention to it, he could still hit and score steadily, and the high-headed coach outside the court had to praise: "Mitsui Shou is a big-hearted player." ”

But at this time, there was a person who looked at Mitsui, who was in the limelight, and he didn't feel good.

Kazushi Hasegawa, a second-year reserve player in Shoyo, is 188 centimeters tall, and if you want to talk about his connection with Mitsui, it goes back to the junior high school period. At that time, Mitsui Shou was a star in the junior high school world, and his fame in the team even spread to high schools, and of course, the title of junior high school champion and MVP was the key to the fierce response at that time.

The junior high school period can be regarded as Mitsui's first subversive period, but what does this have to do with Hasegawa Kazushi? Naturally, it is related, Hasegawa Kazushi was one of Mitsui's background boards during that period, and he was defeated by Mitsui Shou himself. A person with a high heart will definitely remember the failure at that time, and then practice harder in the future, just to be able to hold on tightly when there is a chance to fight back and take revenge.

Since more than 5 minutes into the first half, when Mitsui Shou came on the court, Hasegawa was restless on the bench in Shoyo, no, it should be said that he was eager to try. He was deeply impressed by Mitsui, and in the first round of the finals, even though Mitsui's image changed greatly compared to the junior high school period, Hasegawa still recognized it.

Sitting on the sidelines, he watched Mitsui's performance on the court, excited and worried.

"I didn't see you on the court last year, but you continued to play basketball." Hasegawa thought with a twinkle in his eyes.

When Xiangyang's schedule was already written on the name of Xiangbei, Hasegawa suffered from gains and losses, and among Xiangyang's second-year players, there were very few who could appear in the competition. He is not a flower shape, he does not have the body and skills to compete with Akagi, nor does he have the leadership to stabilize the morale of the army, and he does not have the versatile and stable means of scoring.

Will he be able to play?

In the past half a month, he has followed the team through two games, no matter how good or bad the team's game is, he has always been outside the field, even if his hard training on weekdays has long been known. Looking at Hanagata standing on the field, it would be a lie to say that he was not envious, he also wanted to play, and he also wanted to fight side by side with Fujima, Hanagata and the team.

Especially when Mitsui Shou is close at hand, the better he performs in the Circle, the more anxious he becomes.

By the 16th minute of the first half, Xiangbei had already relied on the cooperation of the outside and the inside line, and took 43 points from Xiangyang's head, and Xiangyang was 44 points ahead.

Sure enough, more than 20 seconds later, Mitsui held the ball and bypassed Yanagi Chisato for a long throw, because it was judged to be stepping on the line, the ball was finally framed as a two-point ball, helping Xiangbei win two more points.

Towards the end of the first half, Xiangyang called a timeout again. On the one hand, it is to cool Mitsui Shouzheng's hot hand, and on the other hand, to make some adjustments and play the last three or four minutes of the first half beautifully.

Hasegawa stood on the periphery of the group, listening to their discussions, wanting to join in but not being able to interject until he heard Fujima mention the name Mitsui Shou, Hasegawa clenched his fists and became anxious.

"Captain, Fujima, wait a minute."

Hasegawa was stunned for a moment, the voice that spoke was not him, it was the voice of Shueiji's senior who was standing beside him.

Hearing this, Mitani and Fujima and the others paused the discussion and followed the sound to look over. Shuei's second senior smiled innocently, glanced at Hasegawa with a side face, reached out and patted him on the back, half encouraging and half pushing Hasegawa out, and he said to Fuji Zhen and the others: "This time I have something to say is this kid Yishi." ”

"Ying II senior." Hasegawa looked at Eiji Shu in surprise.

"Boy, there's not much time for you to talk, don't be distracted." Shu Yingji taught.

"Yes." Hasegawa came to his senses, swallowed his saliva, took a step forward, and said nervously at the gazes cast by Fuji Zhen and the others: "Captain, Fuji Zhen, can you hand over Mitsui Shou to me to defend?" Please! ”

With that, he bowed vigorously.

Shunsuke Mitani was slightly stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Fuji Zhen, obviously, the latter's opinion was very important. He didn't quite understand Hasegawa's deep meaning of emphasizing Mitsui Shou, but he said that the two of them should have some connection, so Hasegawa, who doesn't talk much on weekdays, couldn't help but make this decision.

Fuji Zhen thought for a moment and then looked at Mitani and nodded, unlike Mitani, he was also in the second grade, he was generally aware of Hasegawa's affairs, and he knew the reason why Hasegawa had trained more diligently in the past half a month.

Shunsuke Mitani saw that Fuji really agreed, so he said to Hasegawa, who was still in a bowing posture, "Okay! I don't know what made you that determination, but I want you to keep it in mind during the game. Once the timeout is over, let's play! Eiji, you can rest for a while! ”

Shu Yingji smiled brightly and said disapprehantly: "Great, of course I'm willing to take a break!" As soon as I stopped, I felt tired. ”

"You guy!"

Xiangbei, which took advantage of the pause, also made some arrangements.

Coach Anzai expressed concern about Mitsui's physical strength, and Mitsui replied, "Coach, I'm completely fine, I can play for a long time!" Maybe we can play until the end of the game today. ”

Although Mitsui was serious and everyone knew how important Mitsui was about this game, they still took the last sentence more as a joke. In the words of Coach Anthy, you should still rest when it is time to rest, otherwise it will be too late to regret the game.

So, Fuji was replaced by Coach Anzai, but Fuji didn't care very much, there was still plenty of time, and it wasn't a bad thing to take a break. The most important thing is that he and Mitsui are the most important outside line in Xiangbei, if they play together for more than 20 minutes, and then get tired together, it will be bad for Xiangbei. This problem was exposed in the game with Hainan, and Xiangbei also mentioned this problem in the post-game summary.

In short, when Xiangyang and Xiangbei appeared again, there were new changes in the lineups of both sides.

Hasegawa followed the team to the field with excitement, and his eyes caught Mitsui in the Xiangbei team like a falcon. At the same time, Mitsui also noticed this new face in the Xiangyang team, maybe the other party's eyes were also on him, and an inexplicable feeling began to linger in Mitsui's heart.

"Are you here to stare at me?" Mitsui thought to himself.

Unlike Hasegawa, it was too difficult for Mitsui to remember Hasegawa and recognize him in the ring after two years.
