Not long after Xiangbei's victory over Xiude, news came from another venue in the semifinals, and there was no accident that the king Xiangyang stepped on the Fukuoka overlord and successfully met with Xiangbei.

Suzuki sent Ino to Otake City on a special trip to the city of Otake to film the video of that game as a reference for the match. Although he is already too familiar with Xiangyang to be more familiar, the entry of Xiangyang players still needs to be observed again.

After watching the video brought back by Ino, the corners of Suzuki's mouth curled, he relaxed, stretched his waist, and said to Oga, Momoi, and Mizuno who were squatting in his room to watch together, as well as the five people who will start Akagi, Mizuno, Maori, Sakuragi, and Rukawa tomorrow: "Okay, that's it, there's no need to study it carefully." Everyone has a good rest tonight, and there is no need to practice, beware of accidents. Let's face tomorrow's decisive battle with peace of mind. ”

Suzuki's words are really right, this game is not to watch. Hakata is much inferior to Xiangyang in terms of hard power. Chiba was suppressed by Mitsui and Fujima, and he didn't even show a third of his ability. Although Ken Hoshino is stronger than Takano, he is also difficult to support alone.

Hakata collapsed in the first half, trailing by as many as 30 points.

Coach Anzai and Suzuki had exactly the same idea, killing the opponent in the first half and pinching the opponent so that he couldn't take care of himself, and going on the bench in the second half, so that the main team could retain his strength to deal with the opponent in the final.

And even in the first half, there was nothing to see.

Xiangyang's tactics are very simple, that is, to hurt people with this, relying on several players who have advantages in their respective positions to fight the opponent alone, and there is not much cooperation.

To put it simply, it was Fujima who held the ball and gave Mitsui, who shot three points. Either Fujima hangs high to the flower shape, and the flower shape hooks or shoots a half-volley basket with his height.

The two-meter flower shape and the one-meter-nine Mitsui Shou are simply a big killer for Hakata, who lacks height, but in front of Xiangbei, it is not so fun.

In the first half, the veteran coach Anzai was in a hurry to grab points, and he didn't leave any reference materials for Xiangbei, and in the second half, Gao Ye led a stick to the first- and second-year newcomers to play at will, and they couldn't watch it.

Fortunately, what personnel and methods are in Xiangyang, Xiangbei has basically seen them in the county competition, even if there are any new tricks, they can be deduced. Momoi, who is next to Suzuki, is a good hand in this regard.

Akagi and the others all went out, but Momoi stayed. Before the decisive battle, neither of them was in the mood for children, said something considerate, and then turned the topic back to tomorrow's game.

"Nervous?" Momoi asked softly.

"No," Suzuki shook his head and chuckled, "just a little excited, and anticipation of the fight." To be honest, I'm 60% sure that I can win tomorrow's game. ”

"Sixty percent?" Momoi tilted his head to look at Suzuki and said, "It's taller than I count." I think the overall strength of our two teams is comparable. Akagi and Hanagata, Mori and Takano, are evenly divided in terms of interior configuration. If Mitsui Shou plays small forward, Rukawa has made great progress but is not his opponent, but in this case, Sakuragi will have no one to stop him, and on the whole, Rukawa plus Sakuragi is stronger than Mitsui Ka Nagano or Enomoto. It's just that in point guard, Mizuno and Fujima are weaker in aggression. So all things considered, I think neither side can overpower the other, it depends on the state of the game and the on-the-spot scheduling. ”

Suzuki shook his head and said, "No, there's a place where you miscalculated. The combination of Sakuragi and Rukawa, no matter who Mitsui partners with, will have the upper hand, not a slightly stronger line. You're underestimating Rukawa a little, his potential is not inferior to Sakuragi. Mitsui couldn't please him in front of him. ”

Momoi smiled, "Then I'll wait and see." ”

As soon as Momoi left the room, there was another knock on the door, Suzuki shouted "Please come in", and Sakuragi opened the door and walked in, but his face was hesitant.

Suzuki asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?" ”

Sakuragi nodded, but still didn't speak.

Nervous?

As soon as this thought popped into Suzuki's mind, he crossed out. Due to his own involvement, this kid has a tough personality, is bold and careful, and is almost like two people with the big smug Sakuragi on the original world line. However, there is still one thing that the current Sakuragi is consistent with the original one, that is, no matter what happens, Sakuragi is never nervous. If he can cope with it, he will find a way to solve it, and if he can't cope with it, he is not at a loss, but will find a way to find someone to help.

"What the hell is going on? Tomorrow's game? Suzuki asked.

Sakuragi nodded slightly, then shook his head again, which made Suzuki unable to guess what he was thinking.

Suzuki just wanted to ask, but Sakuragi took the initiative to speak, and he only asked one sentence: "Are you going to leave us after tomorrow's game?" Leaving Xiangbei? ”

Suzuki raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by Sakuragi's acuity, he thought about it, decided to tell the truth, and replied, "Yes, I do have this plan." I was going to be late, but now it seems that it would be better to leave earlier. Bringing out the batch of Akagi is already the limit of my ability, and it won't be better to continue to do it, so it's better to let Dahe start rebuilding earlier. Plus, I have some personal things to do. Momoi is graduating in a year, and we'll get married as soon as she graduates, so I have to prepare first. ”

Suzuki's voice was a little messy, but Sakuragi understood it, and when he said "I know," he turned away as if nothing had happened.

Suzuki frowned, he could tell that Sakuragi had made a decision, but he still couldn't guess what he had decided to do, and finally had to hope that the conversation just now would not adversely affect Sakuragi's match tomorrow.

Late at night, Suzuki suddenly woke up, turned on the light and sat up, gasping for air. Then he poured a glass of water and drank it, only then did he come to his senses and muttered, "It's a dream." ”

Thinking about it day and night, Suzuki was full of thoughts about the finals between Xiangbei and Xiangyang, and in his dream, he experienced this game first.

Xiangbei lost.

As soon as the game started, Akagi couldn't hold on. Maori was lifted up and blown up by the flower shape. Rukawa was sluggish in a heads-up with Mitsui Shou and was inefficient. Mizuno was suppressed by Fujima and made many mistakes. In this case, Sakuragi always has great skills, and it is inevitable that there will be a fiasco.

The scene in the dream is like a video, vivid and lingering.

Suzuki couldn't sleep, and when he looked at the little clock at the head of the bed, it was already 6 o'clock in the morning, but it was still dark outside the window, and the sky was overcast, and it looked like it was going to rain.

After another night's sleep and fear of overdoing it, Suzuki simply got up in his clothes and picked up a tactical board to fiddle with.

Time passed silently, Suzuki was sleep-deprived, felt a little sleepy, and yawned, just then, the door rang, and Momoi's voice came in, "Suzuki-kun, get up".

Suzuki rubbed his eyes, cheered up, answered, and then took the hygiene items out to wash.

After wiping his face, Suzuki felt much better, and observed the generals in Xiangbei, many of them had dark circles under their eyes, obviously they didn't sleep well last night, but what made him happy was that the five starters were all in good spirits and had high morale.

Dreams are reversed, dreams are reversed.

Suzuki muttered a few times in his mouth, clearing away all the weak emotions in his heart, and when he looked up, everyone was looking at him, and he shouted, "Boys! After breakfast, let's go to the gymnasium, defeat Xiangyang, and get the championship back! ”

"Oh!"

Suzuki's words were responded to by the chorus of the crowd and their arms held high!
