Chapter 61: Momiji Falls, and the Next One is Buri
However, Dahe, who played such excellent data, not only made the opponent frightened, but also a terrifying existence for the players of the Xiangbei team, but it was in another sense.
With the successive victories of the Xiangbei team, the team's reputation in the school has gradually risen, and the number of students who come to the stadium to watch training has also increased, including many young and lovely girls.
What brought tears to the eyes of the players in Xiangbei was that almost all the girls were fans of Minister Dahe.
First, Dahe played well, both as a captain and as an ace, and first overshadowed the rest of the people in terms of identity.
Second, Dahe's appearance is also above the average level, and the only one in the team who can beat him is the center Miyagawa. However, Miyagawa is a saw-mouthed gourd and doesn't talk much, let alone respond to the audience.
Third, as long as Dahe is on the field, he is undoubtedly the tactical core, no matter how he plays, he can be brilliant, even if he doesn't score himself, he can attract praise, which is unmatched in the Xiangbei team.
Looking at the strong Dahe Life, those in the team who have a thief's heart but not a thief's courage are envious and jealous in private!
However, even with his popularity, Dahe did not have an affair with anyone, he devoted all his time outside of study to basketball, and did not think about personal issues at all, and this focus attracted more fans for him.
In addition to fans, Dahe is also the object of study for any team that regards Xiangbei as an opponent. Since last year, Kanagawa's team has known that if they want to defeat Xiangbei, they must first block the big river.
Last year, Hainan did it and set an example for other teams.
This year, no team has been able to do this so far.
Including the opponent of this game, Momiji High School.
In the game of Toyo Day, Yakushi Marumoto relied on correct tactics and retained physical strength, and insisted on playing on the court for 40 minutes, and Momiji narrowly defeated Daihoku by one point.
Just one day later, the undecided red leaves ushered in a more dangerous battle, facing Xiangbei.
The back-to-back battles slowed down Yakushimaru's movement rate, and while his height was still able to build a reliable wall under his own basket, he was already weak on the offensive end.
Miyagawa, Maki, Yoshino, the three top three in northern Xiangbei, although each has a big gap with Yakushimaru, but the encirclement and interception of the three people also made Yakushimaru lose absolute control over the restricted area for the first time, and Momiji's rebounding advantage is gone.
On the other hand, on the outside, the strikers and defenders of Momiji continued the feeling that made blacksmiths ashamed in the last game, and they still exceeded it, which was almost tear-jerking.
The interference of Maki and Yoshino, who maneuvered in front of Yakushimaru, and the sweep of Taiga and Endo on the outside, its defensive intensity was at least two grades higher than that of Dabei, and Momiji's outside line rarely got the opportunity to shoot in an open position, and the hit rate was pitifully low, but the error rate remained high, and he was counterattacked by the ball many times and was caught off guard.
Taiga and Endo's mid-range shots have been strengthened, and the two of them have a high shot point and a fast action rate, so that Momiji's players are unable to defend, and Yakushimaru has a high height, and in the face of long-range fire, he has to cry out in vain.
At the end of the first half, Xiangbei scored 60 points, and only allowed Momiji to score 14 points.
The winner is decided.
In the second half, Suzuki let Miyagawa and Yoshino both rest, sent Imai and Yanagisawa, and left Maki alone to exercise on the inside.
A few minutes later, Suzuki sent Taiga and Endo off again, replaced Lantau to take control of the situation, and gave Kuroda some more opportunities to work.
After Miyagawa and Yoshino were gone, relying on Maki alone could no longer limit Yakushimaru, and Momiji's offense and defense had improved significantly.
However, the sparse defense and low morale of the Red Leaf team, even at the level of the Xiangbei substitutes, can fight in and out of the opponent's hinterland, just need to avoid Yakushimaru.
The situation on both sides is no longer one-sided, but there are comings and goings, but the audience on the sidelines began to get excited, constantly cheering for the players off the field, and the scene became enthusiastic again.
Hearing that the voice in the stadium suddenly rose a lot, Suzuki, who was sitting on the sidelines, raised his head and looked around, and continued to chat with Oga, Miyagawa, and Yoshino about the next match with Buri, not paying attention to the situation on the field at all. With a score difference of more than forty points, no matter how crazy Yakushimaru is, it can't erase this big hole, and Suzuki is quite relieved now.
A few familiar voices suddenly sounded overhead, greeting each other, and the two looked up and saw that it was Arima, Kudo and others from Oda Kiri, so they waved their hands to indicate that they had noticed them.
Arima leaned over and shouted, "Big river, it's lazy to come down so soon." How many points did you get today? ”
Taiga looked at Momoi, and the data was generally registered by Momoi.
Momoi was busy recording the score on the court, and he didn't turn his head, so he immediately wrote a string of numbers on the paper with a pen, and then tore off the note and handed it to Dahe, who looked at it and replied happily: "29 points, 12 assists, and another double-double." ”
Arima immediately pretended to hate him, pointed at the river and reprimanded, "Beasts! For a bad team like Red Leaves, you're embarrassed to score points on them! ”
Dahe and he have been friends for many years, and they are used to each other, and they scolded with a smile: "I'm helping you avenge last year, and you don't appreciate it!" Next time you lose, don't pull me in the field again! ”
Arima made a disdainful expression and waved his hand in his ear to show that he hadn't heard Taiga's threat.
Taiga asked, "How was your game today?" ”
Although there is only one game in the fourth division today, the game in Xiangbei still started at 12 noon and was not advanced to 10 o'clock. And Arima's Oda Kiri team, this year in the first division also reached the fourth round, and Sunrise West to challenge a place to challenge Xiangyang, their game started at 10 o'clock, earlier than Xiangbei.
Arima sighed and said, "Of course I lost!" The inner line of Sunrise West is higher than the palace river, how can we stop it! However, I still have to thank you for the information you gave us, otherwise we would have suffered a rout like this red leaf today. It's okay now, just 9 points lost, and we're pretty satisfied. ”
"That's right." Dahe didn't have much to say. Both teams have played warm-up matches with Xiangbei, and in all fairness, the hard power of Sunrise West is indeed much stronger than Oda Cut, which is a gap that cannot be made up with tactics, and the victory or defeat has long been predicted.
Arima turned the topic back to the current game, looked at Yakushi Maruyuan, who was dragging his heavy steps and doing his best to compete with the substitutes in Xiangbei, and said, "Yakushi Maru is really a pity. His teammates around him, if they were all at an average level, he wouldn't be so tired, and even if he lost, he wouldn't lose so ugly. ”
Last year, Oda Kiri hit Momiji in the first round and then went home. Height has always been a hard injury for Oda Kiri, and when he encounters a team with a tall insider, he has to be blind, which was the case last year and is still the case this year.
As Momiji's former opponent, Arima commented: "Momiji relies too much on Yakushimaru alone, has such a good inside guarantee rebound, and doesn't train outside shooting." Last year they still had three stones, and this year three stones graduated, and they couldn't find a consistent pitcher. Furutani and Kukawa have not grown at all in the past three years. "Mitsuishi was Momiji's captain last year, a good three-point shooter.
While Arima and Taiga were chatting, the race came to the final stage.
With 4 minutes and 33 seconds left, Yakushi Maru Moto fell to the ground after a scramble for a rebound, and his legs cramped.
In desperation, Momiji's superintendent replaced Yakushimaru on the field, and the score was 82-42 at this time, and Yakushimaru single-handedly narrowed the difference to 40 points, but after all, he still couldn't avoid a rout.
Seeing Yakushimaru fall, Suzuki replaced the devastated Maki in the second half and asked Mizuhashi to find his touch.
In the end, the two teams without the presence of an inside pillar closed the score at 105-50.
Xiangbei successfully won the place to challenge last year's top four Buri universities.
If you cross Buri again, it will be the final of the prefectural competition.
