Chapter 34 Fulfillment of the Declaration, Parting Speech

Eyes returned to the previous court, when Taiga threw a three-pointer.

Kanda was guarding Imai and was moving in this area, but he was obviously also intimidated by Taihe's unexpected move, and he was stunned for a moment before he thought of coming over to seal it, but where was it too late?

The basketball is like a bird returning to the nest, straight to the basket, hollow into the net!

This goal of the great river obviously destroyed the morale of the sun.

There were still 7 seconds to go, but the players didn't even have the idea of pulling a goal back, and they didn't dare to try an attack, so they waited until Arima blew the whistle, and then fled in a hurry.

The first half is over!

Big River overfulfilled his manifesto!

49-27, Xiangbei's lead reached 22 points!

At halftime, Suzuki was still full of Momoi's previous intimate moves, and casually praised two sentences, letting everyone rest well, without making any tactical arrangements.

It wasn't until the start of the second half, when he saw that Sunsaka had changed all of his starting lineup and played the second half with five fresh faces, and Suzuki's mind was back in action.

It only took 3 minutes for the starters in Xiangbei to continue to expand the difference to 30 points, and Suzuki confirmed that Sunsaka was disarming and surrendering rather than stalking with fresh forces, so he called a timeout and replaced Miyagawa, Taiga and Yoshino in the third grade.

On the court, Xiangbei's lineup has become a first- and second-year lineup of center Maki, power forward Aoki, small forward Imai, point guard Endo and split Mizuhashi. This is probably the main lineup of Xiangbei next year, after graduating from the third grade of Dahe and Gonghe, this batch of them.

No, it is possible that before the winter tryouts, the third-year players will drop out of the club in preparation for their entrance exams.

A week later colleges and universities overall.

This is the last official competition for these third-graders as members of Xiangbei!

Be sure to make it to the finals of the county competition!

Because, I want to watch their basketball a few more times!

Suzuki secretly once again strengthened his determination to revitalize the Xiangbei basketball club, and advanced his goal to this year, and then he put all these sad things out of his mind and returned his attention to the game.

It's just that there is nothing to pay attention to on the field at all.

It can't be said that the sunset players on the field are playing perfunctory, and they are still very combative when they come on as substitutes.

However, the rustiness of the cooperation, coupled with the gap in strength, made their performance far inferior to Xiangbei, which is also composed of first and second grades.

By the halfway point of the second half, the score came to 80-40, and Xiangbei played twice the difference.

Suzuki replaced Maki and Imai, who had lasted most of the half, and replaced Yanagisawa and Kuroda, two first-year players. Let Maki, who is less than 1.8 meters, play the center position, and Yanagisawa and Kuroda, who are 1.7 meters, play big and small forwards respectively.

Seeing that Xiangbei gradually replaced all the starters, Coach Kimura understood that this was to save face for himself, so he did not send his starters on the field again.

However, after playing half a game, the substitutes gradually adapted to the atmosphere on the field, and because the score difference was too big, the idea of equalizing was eliminated, and the state got better, and they played back and forth with Xiangbei again, on a par.

The height of the substitutes is not bad, the No. 10 second-year player Sakaguchi on the field, and the No. 14 first-year player Ishihara are both 183cm tall, and the other few are also over 175cm, Aoki alone, can't grab rebounds at all.

However, Mizuhashi's play was as stable as ever, hitting consecutive three-pointers to maintain the balance, and Endo also scored mid-range shots.

The game ended 99-63, and in the last time, Suzuki instructed the players on the court to let Yanagisawa and Kuroda make more shots, but judging by the results, the two still have a long way to go if they want to become rotation players in Xiangbei.

Suzuki took Taiga and Momoi to send the Sunshine basketball team out of the school, and when they parted, Coach Kimura sighed: "Dahe's classmates are really impressive, this year's Xiangbei may be able to enter the final stage of the county competition!" ”

Seeing that the other party was overhanded, Suzuki was naturally happy to say a sentence or two: "If the Central Plains students of your school are trained well, they may be able to become the top center in the prefecture, and at that time, maybe the sun will be an opponent that no one wants to meet in Kanagawa!" ”

Kimura wanted to speak and stopped, but Suzuki took the initiative to ask, "Coach Kimura, what else do you want to say?" ”

Kimura gritted his teeth and said, "Superintendent Suzuki, I don't know if I should ask a sentence here." I wouldn't mind if you couldn't easily answer. ”

Suzuki was a little curious, so he said, "Tell me about it first." ”

Kimura then asked, "Xiangbei has already played against Sunxia and Lingnan. I would like to ask Coach Suzuki, if we face Lingnan in the future, do we have a chance of winning? ”

Suzuki smiled with relief: "It's not something that needs to be kept secret. With all due respect, with the current level of the sun, facing Lingnan, I am afraid that the odds of victory are not great. ”

Kimura's expression was a little gloomy, and he said: "Also, the game between Xiangbei and Lingnan is only 1 point apart, but it is like this with us. ”

Suzuki thought for a while and decided to give Lingnan a little stumbling, so he said, "In my opinion, Lingnan still has weaknesses. ”

Kimura asked, "How do you say that?" ”

Suzuki replied: "Lingnan's lineup is actually somewhat similar to ours, they are all strong on the outside, and although the inside line is qualified, they are a little lacking in height. We lost that game, and we lost on the outside. ”

Kimura changed color and said: "There are still people in the county who can be stronger than Dahe-san!" ”

Suzuki shook his head and said, "That's not the case. The two defenders of Lingnan, Imayoshi and Kuroko, are both very strong, but I think it is still our Dahe classmates in Xiangbei who are more skilled. However, as you can see, we only have one Taihe, and he doesn't know how to play against two of the top defenders in the same county. ”

Kimura nodded, "I see, two top defenders, right?" Thanks to Superintendent Suzuki's guidance, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to cope with it without preparation. However, what exactly is the weakness of Lingnan that you are talking about? ”

Suzuki smiled: "Naturally, it's an inside line." Lingnankong has strong outside strength, but it has never entered the national competition in the past two years, because the inside line can't compare with Xiangyang and Hainan, and it can't guarantee rebounding! Even this year, this flaw in Lingnan still exists! ”

Kimura continued to ask, "Can Superintendent Suzuki elaborate?" ”

Suzuki pointed to Hirohashi and said, "The three frontline players in Lingnan should not be able to surpass him in height." However, the ability of several of them is not bad, and they can't be careless. ”

Kimura listened to Suzuki's words, and he had a bottom in his heart, according to this, if the two sides exploded each other inside and outside, there was indeed a possibility of winning the game, so he thanked him again: "Superintendent Suzuki, thank you so much!" ”

The two parties parted and said goodbye.

On the way back to the basketball hall, Suzuki suddenly asked, "I told Coach Kimura about the situation in Lingnan just now, but I always feel that there is something missing, can you help me think about what is the place?" ”

Dahe shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Momoi tapped his chin with his finger, thought for a moment and replied, "Sir, did you mean that substitute center Kosuke Wakamatsu?" ”

Suzuki clapped his hands and said, "That's right! That's him. That player, if he improves again this time, will also be a troublesome character. ”

Momoi nodded, "This Wakamatsu's quality is indeed very good. ”

Suzuki waved his hand and said, "Well." Leave him alone! Anyway, we will only meet Lingnan again when we reach the finals of the county competition, so let's talk about this later! ”
