Chapter 56: The Dark Horse

In a life-and-death situation, in the case of physical exhaustion, what does it mean to hit four three-pointers in a row?

Is it luck? Is it strength? Is it courage? Is it determination? Are you unwilling? Or never admit defeat?

It's just Mitsui Shou...

Xiangbei's momentum rose again because of the continuous three-point shots: The game is not over yet, we still have hope!

But how could the Xiangyang team give up the victory in hand.

"Give it to me! Pass me the ball!! "Shoichi Takano stuck Sakuragi Hanamichi in the low position and asked Fujima for the ball!

"Damn!···" Sakuragi is angry and stops at action.

"Haha, can you stop me? Watch the ball! As soon as Akira Takano turned around and jumped directly, Sakuragi stood below and stared at it, not even daring to stretch out his hand.

"Huh?!" No, someone is behind!

"Smack!"

"Beep——!! White team No. 11, the thug fouls! "It's Rukawa Kaede, he shot the ball behind Shoichi Takano, but unfortunately it was still fouled.

"Rukawa!···" Seeing Rukawa Kaede foul for himself to block this ball, Sakuragi had an indescribable feeling.

Shoichi Takano stood on the free throw line, didn't take advantage of the opportunity, and missed two free throws!

"Smack!" It's Rukawa Kaede again, he took this rebound off everyone's heads!

"Rukawa!!" Mitsui was already running, and he was putting all his energy on offense, because he knew that his physical strength was no longer able to contribute on the defensive end.

Rukawa Kaede immediately passed the ball out!

“!!”

"Smack!" Fujima touches the ball in front of Mitsui! The ball flies to the sideline!

Mitsui and Fujima chased the ball, and the ball bounced to the Shoyo bench, and the players on the bench quickly stood up.

"Humph!" Mitsui snorted, jumped out of the court, and caught the ball!

“······” Fujima's pace slowed.

Mitsui turns his head in the air to find his teammates!

"Hey!!" It's Rukawa Kaede, who is catching the ball with both hands and running to the frontcourt!

"Hey!" Mitsui laughed, threw the ball out, and slammed it into the chair on the sidelines!

"Mitsui!!" The wooden curtain on the sidelines immediately rushed to this side!

The game goes on! After receiving the ball, Rukawa Kaede accelerated all the way and did not give the Xiangyang players a chance to block the road.

"Bang!!" A powerful gliding slam buckle!!

60:60 flat! With 2 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game, the Xiangbei team finally tied the score!

However, Mitsui was still lying in a chair that had fallen to the ground. Looking up at Rukawa Kaede dunking the ball in, he put down his raised head, looked at the ceiling, and raised his right hand in a fist.

"Mitsui! Are you okay!? The players of the Xiangbei team surrounded them.

Mitsui had exhausted his physical strength, and with the last fall, he couldn't fight anymore, and he limped off the field with the help of the wooden curtain...

"I'm going to buy water." Hikoichi suddenly turned and walked away. For the rest of the game, there is no need to watch it······

“???” The sudden movement baffled Hideko. Buying water? Didn't you finish that bottle just now??

“······” Chiba looked at Hikoichi's back. Because of the performance of the number 14, can't help but want to play?

---------------------------------------------------

“······” Hikoichi stood at the corner of the road, staring blankly ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

He turned left, and in this direction was the toilet.

"Whoa————!! Hikoichi flushed his face with cold water to calm himself down.

Watching live is different from reading comics.,I cried more than once when I read comics.,Now it's really itchy to watch.··· Hikoichi shook the water off his face.

Mitsui, we'll be able to fight each other soon!

Soon after, cheers were faintly heard from the direction of the playing field.

It seems that Xiangbei has won... Hikoshi looked in the mirror, and the water was almost dry.

I want to be true to the sadness, I have been suppressed by the gentry for three years, although I have entered the national competition, but I have never won the first place in the county competition, and this year I didn't even enter the finals.

But this is basketball, a game always has to be won or lost, a series has to decide the champion, and defeat is also part of basketball.

I thought that the training match with the Lingnan team would make the Xiangyang team make changes, but I didn't expect that after watching the whole game, it was still developing according to the original story.

However, even if Fuji Zhen started to play, the result is uncertain, after all, this year's Xiangbei is very strong...

"Notice, notice, the two teams that will participate in the second game later will enter the pre-match training after fifteen minutes. Notice, notice, please participate in the second game later ······" At this time, the voice from the radio interrupted Hikoichi's thoughts.

The high school league matches are relatively fast, so the competition team has arranged two games in the morning and two games in the afternoon, and the top four can be decided in one day today.

And the second game in the next row is Lingnan High School and Uchimura No. 2 High School in Area C!

Ready to start playing? Hikochi cut his hair in front of the mirror, then walked out of the bathroom and walked towards the locker room.

You have to go to the locker room early, otherwise you will be scolded by the coach again······

"Hey, boy!"

"Huh??" As soon as he got out of the toilet, Hikichi was stopped, and when he looked up, there were three people wearing the same team uniform, and the one who spoke just now was a boy about 185cm in the lead, I don't know this dress, they are also players participating in the county competition?

"You're from the Lingnan team, right?" The man in the lead looked at Hikoichi condescendingly, and he should have recognized Hikoichi's team uniform.

“······” What do you want to do?

"Humph! Boy, are you scared? He interpreted Hikoichi's silence as fear, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in a substitute like you." ”

He took two more steps forward, stretched out his right index finger and poked it in Yanyi's chest, "Help me convey to those main players of your team, this year, your Lingnan team will be defeated by our second in the inner village!" And the fairy road will be cleaned up by I, Jun Tanaka! Hum! Walk! ”

“······” What a friendly pre-match exchange... Hikoshi shrugged his shoulders as he glanced at the three people who had walked away.

"Oops!" It's a waste of time again, you need to hurry up and go to the locker room! Hikoichi thought of Coach Taoka's face and quickly ran.

"Hahaha, Tanaka, look! That guy was scared away!! There seemed to be laughter behind him······

------------------------------------

Lingnan team locker room.

"Today's opponent is Uchimura No. 2, I haven't heard of this team in previous years, and this year they are the same as the Xiangbei team, they are dark horses." Coach Taoka clasped his hands to his chest, obviously doing his homework on his opponents before the game, and this kind of caution is his habit, "Actually, until a month ago, they were not a strong team. The core player of the team is Jun Tanaka, a third-year player, who plays as a scoring guard and has good strength. But the situation changed half a month ago······"

?? Everyone gathered around, curious about what Coach Taoka would say next.

Toshishi Tanaka, it seems to be the name of the person just now. Hikochi meditated in his heart and surrounded him.

"A month ago, they had an American student from their school, and he was on the school's basketball team. Because of his excellent physical fitness, he quickly became the starter, and it was precisely because of him that he was able to reach the quarterfinals in this county competition! ”

I went, it turned out that I called for foreign aid, no wonder I was so arrogant. Hikoshi smiled.

Wait a minute, this game in the original book seems to be a sentence, only saying that the Lingnan team won easily. Does the opponent of the Lingnan team in the original book also have foreign aid? That shouldn't be so easy to win······ Could it be that something has changed? Hikoichi's action of tying his shoelaces stopped there.

That's interesting!
