Chapter 169: High Score
It's definitely useless to sneak back to the bench, it's better to admit your mistake with a proper attitude, so Hikoichi didn't plan to hide, and rushed out of the locker room passage directly and ran to Coach Taoka.
"Ho, ho, coach, I ······"
"Go and sit down in the back!" Coach Taoka was standing on the sidelines with his chest crossed, and he interrupted Hikoichi without looking at him.
"Uh... Be! Hikoichi didn't even have a chance to admit his mistake, so he could only shrink his neck and step aside, and he didn't dare to make Coach Taoka angry now.
"Huh? Look! Lingnan's starting point guard! There were still fans in the audience who spotted Hikoichi who was late.
"Finally appeared, where the hell did he just go?! Half time is almost over! ”
"Huh? What's going on, how his coat is worn backwards, and he is still holding popcorn! ”
After two games, many fans have remembered Hikochi, the little man who can dunk, although most people still can't remember his name.
"Hikochi, where have you been? Just now, everyone looked for you for a long time and couldn't find it, and they almost called the police! Chiba sat down beside Hikoichi and asked in a low voice, with unconcealed worry in his tone.
The teammates on the bench also wanted to come up and ask Hikochi, but they didn't dare to surround Coach Taoka, who was already on the verge of an outburst, for fear that the movement would be too big, and the situation on the field was very anxious, so they signaled to Hikochi, and then continued to focus on the game on the field.
"Forehead······ I slept. He almost called the police, Hikoichi was really a little embarrassed, he looked at Coach Taoka twice more to make sure that he wouldn't look back for the time being, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Slept??" Chiba looked unimaginable, "Your coat ······"
"Ahh Only then did Hikochi notice that his coat was still wearing backwards, so he quickly took it off and stopped wearing it. I was really confused, I actually forgot about my clothes, so many audiences, it's really embarrassing!
After a long period of scrambling, Hikoichi finally calmed down and looked up to pay attention to the situation on the field.
This time it was Uecao who started in place of Hikochi, and now Sendo is holding the ball on the flank and preparing to attack, and defending him is No. 10 Hidaka Tsuyoshi, a newcomer to Akizuki, but he is the core of Akizuki's defense.
The two were still at a stalemate, and Hikoichi moved his gaze up again, looking at the scoreboard hanging above the gymnasium, 57:58, with 1 minute and 32 seconds left in the first half, it was actually Akizuki High School who was ahead.
Xiandao observed for a while or chose to play with his back to the single, a beautiful back turned and retreated to deceive Hidaka Gangzhi's center of gravity to move forward, and then changed his body to the right side to kill the basket and hit a layup, Hidaka Gangzhi still wanted to chase the hat, but he could only slap the rebound to relieve his hatred when he was one step slower.
"The score is not high?" Hikoichi looked at Coach Taoka's back and secretly pulled a mouthful of popcorn and asked Chiba in a low voice.
"Huh? Oh, the score, we were ahead, but within five minutes just now, Qiu Yue suddenly hit several three-pointers in a row, plus we didn't make it in these attacks, so they overtook the score all of a sudden! Fortunately, Xiandao scored this goal! Chiba glared at Hikoichi for a moment before explaining, he actually dared to steal food.
Oh? Was it just overtaken? Three points in a row? It seems that Qiuyue's last game was a sudden three-point rain that directly stunned the opponent and won, right? Hikoichi originally just thought that the score was very high, so he asked casually, but now he knows a lot of information from Chiba's words.
As soon as Chiba's words fell, Akizuki High School attacked on the field, No. 4 Osamu Noguchi raised the high post to No. 6 to block and dismantle, No. 6 pulled away sideways and passed the ball to Osamu Noguchi, who stayed in the top arc.
This pick-and-roll was actually not very successful, neither allowing the ball carrier to directly get a breakthrough opportunity and shooting space, nor allowing the off-ball man to run out of the open space.
Jun Noguchi didn't have the consciousness of a center at all, and after receiving the ball, he began to dribble the ball outside the three-point line, and he also changed the dribble under his crotch and behind his back, which was really going to play with flowers.
Yuzhu, who was standing opposite him, was a little nervous, bent over, and kept adjusting his steps, as if he wanted to step forward but didn't dare.
Jun Noguchi is another crotch, the ball is changed to the left hand, and then suddenly pulls it up and throws!
His shooting speed is actually not particularly fast, but Yuzu's movements are slower than him, and his ball arc is particularly low, and the rotation is particularly strong, and after the shot, he flies to the basket with a "whoosh", smashes on the back edge of the basket like a cannonball, and then smashes almost vertically to the ground!
"Here we go again! It was his fourth three-pointer in five minutes! Chiba subconsciously clenched his small fist and waved, "Obviously, he couldn't shoot any three points when he first started!" ”
Sometimes the feel is unreasonable. Hikoichi shook his head, another bite of popcorn, hurry up and eat it, it seems that he still has to play in the second half.
······
"Huh? Hikoichi?! Where did you just go! Finally, at the end of the half, the players on the field came off the field to notice that Hikoichi was back in the lineup.
"Let's go back to the locker room first." Coach Taoka interrupted the curious crowd and led the way to the players' tunnel.
Naturally, everyone didn't dare to make a mistake, and obediently followed Coach Taoka, and it could be seen that he was holding his breath.
In the locker room of the Lingnan team, everyone was sitting, only Hikoichi and Coach Tianoka were standing.
"Coach, I—I accidentally ······" Hikoichi felt a little embarrassed to speak.
"I don't care where you went just now, as long as there are no accidents, it's still in the game, so I won't pursue it with you first." Coach Taoka said lightly to Hikoichi who lowered his head.
In fact, everyone couldn't find Hikoichi just now, in addition to being anxious because the game was about to start, they were also very worried about whether Hikoichi would have an accident.
“?!” Hiko's head was raised all of a sudden, his eyes widened in disbelief and surprise, Coach Taoka is so easy to talk to?!
Coach Taoka turned sideways and faced the rest of the team, but still left a sentence for Hikoichi: "When the national competition is over, 100 halves will turn back and run." ”
“?!” Hikoichi felt like he had fallen straight from heaven to hell, and it was the kind that smashed his face through the surface to hell! 100 switchbacks and legs will break!!
Hikoichi seems to see a teammate snickering, and there is more than one!
"Let's talk about the game," Coach Taoka looked around, and the few people who were snickering quickly put down the hand covering their mouths and looked at him with a serious face, "Do you think you have a problem playing in the first half?" ”
“?” Everyone's serious faces, which had just been stretched, suddenly frowned.
It's not easy to answer this question, the score is there, 61:63 at halftime, and my team is still two points behind, so I can't say that I played well. But to say that in terms of offense, we played very well in the first half, and 61 points in the first half is already a day in high school basketball, and the problem must be on defense.
It's a bit unreasonable to let the opponent score 63 points in the half, but his own defense doesn't seem to be a big problem, and the opponent can score so many points entirely thanks to the several three-pointers he made against the defense at the end.
“······” The scene fell silent for a while, and everyone did not dare to speak out easily.
"Can't tell?" Coach Taoka looked around, and when he saw someone, he lowered his head.
"If you can't say it, it's no problem, then you don't have to make a big move in the second half, just adjust it a little."
“?!” Everyone was a little stunned, not sure if Coach Taoka was saying the opposite and sarcastically mocking everyone or if he really felt that way, or if he was stupid by Hiko?
Coach Taoka saw that everyone's doubts were almost written on his face, and explained: "If you don't have a problem, then resolutely implement your own tactics, and don't shake yourself because of temporary backwardness, then it will really go wrong." ”
