When the referee's whistle sounded to terminate the game, Suzuki realized that in this year's county competition, Xiangbei was about to succumb to Lingnan.

The gap between the two teams is very small, and the wins and losses are the same, but in terms of small points, Xiangbei is 3 points less.

That is to say, even if Taiga is down, if Xiangbei's last attack is successful, even if it is only a 2-point shot, Xiangbei will overtake Lingnan and become Kanagawa's quasi-advantage and qualify for this summer's national competition.

However, there is no if in reality, whether it is from the perspective of the direct duel's winning and losing relationship, or from the point of view of small scores, Xiangbei lost.

As the supervisor of Xiangbei, Suzuki naturally knew before the start of the game, even if Xiangbei lost, as long as the score difference was narrowed to within 8 points, Xiangbei could still rely on the small score advantage to enter the national competition.

As for the situation that Xiangyang will lose to Hainan, Suzuki did not consider it at all.

Yesterday's battle between Hainan and Lingnan, Lingnan fought very hard, but Hainan, which won the battle, also paid a lot of consumption.

Suzuki believes that even if Shoyang is sending a rookie lineup of first and second grades, with the strength of Okazaki Hama, Miura Ranmaru, Hiroichiro Hirochiro Maharajashi and others, it is not something that the tired Hainan can handle.

Although he knew that the small score might be the key to determining whether Xiangbei would qualify, Suzuki was still not conservative when arranging tactics, and most of the adjustments were based on giving full play to offensive firepower.

To do things, be a person first.

Suzuki believes in this statement.

Therefore, he did not want his disciples to become utilitarian in high school.

In Suzuki's view, high school basketball is youthful and enthusiastic, even if it is to win, it must come openly, even if it is a vigorous failure, it is not hesitated!

Therefore, in the whole game, whether it was leading or falling, no matter what the score was when it was behind, there was not a word from Suzuki that was related to the 8-point difference.

"We did our best, we have no regrets!" Suzuki comforted Taiga and the others like this.

Taiga recovered a little bit and was disappointed to lose the race, not getting a ticket to the national competition, and he was miserable. However, he did not cry like Yoshino and Maki, who fought the whole game, but asked Lantau and Imai to carry him to Suzuki, and then broke free from the support of the two, bent down and said, "Sir, I'm sorry!" ”

Suzuki understood what he meant, if he didn't fight Xiangyang according to his own arrangement yesterday, Xiangbei would face Lingnan, who was also not in the state today, and it would be difficult to lose, even if Imakishi was stronger than Ziyuan's level, he would not lose!

Instead of accepting Taiga's apology, Suzuki asked, "We are number three, do you regret it now?" ”

Dahe replied earnestly: "I regret it a little, but I still don't think we did anything wrong yesterday!" ”

Suzuki smiled and said, "Then I still don't regret it!" Since you think you didn't do anything wrong, then you don't have to apologize to me. I'm a supervisor, not a coach. The most important part of my duty is not to let you do wrong, not to lead you to victory! Of course, it would be best if you could do both. If there is a conflict, I will give preference to the first one. ”

Taiga understood what Suzuki meant, and what Suzuki said was exactly what he was going to do today, and he didn't let the game drag into an ugly defensive battle.

Imai is not in good shape, and it can be seen from the warm-up that his hand is extremely bad today, but this does not affect his defense.

If Suzuki had been the dominant tactical thinker for today, he would not have put Mizuhashi on the field three times and twice, but would have chosen Imai.

Similarly, Suzuki eventually brought Endo off the bench because he valued his offensive contribution rather than defense.

Suzuki finally said, "So, the person who needs to be apologized is not me. ”

Dahe pondered, his eyes wandered among the crowd, and said, "Since it's not Mr., is it...... Aoki! That's right! We, we fulfill our promise to Aoki! ”

Taiga staggered over to Aoki and bowed, startling Aoki.

When Aoki understood what Oga was doing, he hurriedly bowed to Oga in turn and said, "It's obviously my fault that I didn't make it to the national competition!" If I hadn't been injured, our tactics would have been more flexible, and Miyagawa-senpai, Yoshino-senpai, and Maki wouldn't have fought so hard! ”

Aoki is telling the truth, although his absence is not as affected as Lingnan and less Detian, but it still makes Xiangbei's strength suffer a lot, and the team failed to qualify, which is a big factor.

Suzuki smiled: "Dahe, Aoki can't go to the national competition this year, he still has next year to fight, but ......" Suzuki stopped and said nothing.

Taiga turned his head to look at Yoshino and Miyagawa, and before he could apologize to them, the two of them supported Daiga on the left and right, and Yoshino said, "Ohga, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have the idea of entering the prefectural competition!" I am very grateful to you for being able to fight for this, you gave me my dream! You don't need to apologize to me! ”

Gonghe nodded and said succinctly: "I'm the same." ”

Dahe looked at the rest of the people blankly, and the remaining Lantau hurriedly waved his hand to his best friend.

Suzuki couldn't stand it, and said: "Dahe, you didn't appear on the national stage, the only person you have to apologize for is yourself!" ”

"Myself?" Dahe was stunned for a moment, his eyes were red, and he remembered his hard work in the past three years, and gradually began to choke up: "But I, but this path was chosen by myself, and I have no reason to apologize to myself!" ”

Suzuki said, "You have it." You have chosen a more difficult path, you have let your sweat and dreams fall through, and you must say sorry to them. Then, the next time you make a choice, ask yourself what you want most. There are gains and losses, and if we want to gain something, we must learn to give up others. Your defeat today is not to lose to Lingnan, not to Imayoshi, but to your own greed. You want to play well and win, and you want more than you can do. ”

Dahe was like an initiation, and he bent down and said to Suzuki, "Thank you, sir, for your teachings, I will remember it for the rest of my life!" ”

"Now that you understand this truth, then sir, I will tell you another truth!" Suzuki changed his words and said, "There is an ancient saying in Huaxia called Heaven rewards diligence. It means that for the diligent people, the heavens will send down miracles! ”

Dahe looked dazed and asked, "Sir, what are you talking about?" ”

Suzuki smiled strangely and said, "Don't ask, listen to Nantara-kun's speech." ”

Nan Duoliang said: "Congratulations to Lingnan University! You are the second place in Kanagawa Prefecture and you are competing in the national competition! Congratulations to Xiangbei University, you have won a place in the play-offs by beating the Hainan University with a small advantage! I hope you will continue to work hard to win glory for Kanagawa and become the third Kanagawa team to win the national tournament! ”
