Chapter Ninety-Six: The Decisive Battle of Lingnan (1)

The match with Lingnan was played at the Hiratsuka General Gymnasium.

Everyone in Xiangbei went out early in the morning and found that the whole team in Lingnan was actually on the same tram.

The relationship between the two schools was not bad, a group of tall athletes got together, greeted each other, and then a few who had friendships began to talk.

Yoshino saw that Tokuda was not there, so he looked for Asakawa and asked, "Asakawa-kun, how is Tokuda's injury?" ”

Asakawa spread his hands and said, "You know he's injured?" Also, this kind of news spreads the fastest. As you can see, he won't be able to get off the ground today, and the doctor said it will take at least a month to recover. ”

Yoshino breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's not bad. ”

On the other side, the captains of the two teams, Imayoshi and Oga, stood together.

Imakishi looked at the river and said, "Don't think that if Tokuda is injured, you will be able to win. You fought Xiangyang yesterday and fought so fiercely, I'm afraid that until now, you are still sore and weak! ”

Dahe didn't make a fool of himself, and admitted the matter straightforwardly, because this can't be concealed at all, and his physical condition can't deceive people, and he will be exposed after a dozen.

However, Taihe retorted: "Don't just talk about us, your own physical fitness is not the same. I tried my best and didn't win the game, and I don't think a few of the kids on your team are in good spirits! ”

Imayoshi smiled bitterly, under the two consecutive defeats, Lingnan has basically been out, and the only hope is that it is possible to qualify if he wins against Xiangbei today. Xiangbei is not a weak team, in the last warm-up game, the Lingnan team narrowly won by only 1 point, and the team's main scorer Detian was absent due to injury, no matter how you look at it, this is an extremely difficult task.

Yesterday afternoon, Imayoshi was over, and Lingnan had to win at least 8 points in this game.

This conclusion made Lingnan's heart heavy.

When I gathered this morning, Imaiyoshi saw that Hoshina and Tsukahara in the first grade, Kobe and Kuroko in the second grade, all came with dark circles under their eyes, and in addition, among the third-year players, there were also one or two who didn't seem to have slept well.

Although he couldn't refute Taiga's sharp ried-back shot, Imakishi said that he would not lose the battle, and said: "Our team doesn't need you to worry!" We'll see on the field! ”

The two captains seemed to be stiff, but this did not affect the communication of the team members in the slightest.

Miyagawa and Mitsubashi discuss whether Takagaki's kick yesterday was unintentional or intentional; Two teams of second-graders get together to discuss pop songs; The first-year students still seem to be a little strange and shy, only Wakamatsu and Kuroda are whispering, and Yanagisawa asks that they know that they are old acquaintances.

The car arrived at Hiratsuka, and the two teams walked together all the way, and only separated after entering the gymnasium.

Before going to the locker room, the captains of the two teams encouraged each other: "You have to come on for the next game." ”

"So are you."

Tokuda's absence allowed Suzuki to no longer have to worry about who should be used for the power forward position, and straightforwardly lined up the starting list.

Center Miyagawa, power forward Maki, small forward Yoshino, point guard Oga, and scoring guard Mizuhashi.

When the game is played to this point, which team has any hole cards, they have already been opened, and they can't become miracles, so they can only rely on the team's strength and heritage to fight.

In the Xiangbei lineup, the only change is to let Yoshino play the small forward position to defend the security department.

In the last game, Baoke was marked by Hainan's defensive guard Yanamoto all over the field, and he almost became an invisible man on the field, but Coach Taoka never replaced him, which also shows that Lingnan has no stronger player than Baoke in the small forward position.

Yoshino's defensive skills are among the best in Xiangbei, plus his height and long arms, his single defense ability is only above Yanagimoto, and never below it.

In the two games played in the round-robin, he defended Bushibu, Ashizaki Shogo, and Atsushi Shihara, although the effect is very average, and the data is not good-looking, but this is by no means because Yoshino's ability is too poor, but the object he defends, has always been the opponent's trump card!

Compared with the above people, no matter which one of them, there is a big gap, even if he plays for another two years, by the time he is in his third year of high school, he may not be able to catch up with any of the three.

Therefore, Suzuki is very confident in using Yoshino Death Protection.

When it was time to play, Suzuki took a look at Lingnan's lineup again, and the five people they started were as Suzuki expected, and sure enough, it was Mitsuhashi, Asakawa, Hoshi, Imayoshi and Kuroko. The only difference from the start of the warm-up game is that in the small forward position, Baoke replaced the injured Tokuda.

The two centers on the jump ball looked a little heavy, and neither of them could jump to their highest position, so it was half a pound and eight taels, and the basketball bounced into the sky, waiting for the second scramble.

In the past two months, Maki has grown 1 centimeter taller, and now he is tied with Miyagawa for the highest height on the field. He grabbed the basketball before Asakawa and immediately sent it to Oga. The series of movements is very compact, showing that Maki has made a lot of progress during this time.

Dahe was targeted by Imakishi for the first time, and the ball couldn't be passed out for a while, and when he got rid of it, the whole team of Lingnan had already returned to defense.

Among the several pairs of people on the inside, Taiga couldn't see who had the upper hand and had the heart to pass to Yoshino, but Yoshino only had the ability to attack in the near frame, and if he still had to face the third-grade combination of Mitsuhashi and Asakawa, he was not reliable, so he took the ball, approached Mizuhashi, and switched positions with him.

Imayoshi thought that Taihe was relying on the water bridge to block the demolition, but in fact, he still had to shoot himself, and he had enough strength to keep up, but he found that Taihe no longer had a basketball in his hand, and when he looked back, the water bridge shot three points.

Mizuhashi and Kuroko are of similar height, although this shot was a little unexpected, but still not completely free from Kuroko's interference, after the shot, he knew that this time was a little crooked, and hurriedly shouted: "Rebound!" ”

Miyagawa resisted Mihashi and asked Maki and Asakawa to fight, but this time Asakawa was in a better position, Maki failed to fight for Asakawa, and Asakawa passed to Kuroko next to him after winning the ball.

Kuroko sent the ball forward and gave Baona a very comfortable pass, Yoshino wanted to break the ball, but the ball was too tricky for him, so he had to turn around and follow Baoko, but then it was a beat too late.

Hoshina ran at an astonishing speed and momentum, and Yoshino couldn't catch up.

In the end, Baoke used a two-handed slam dunk technique to take 2 points in the most uplifting way. After letting go of the basket with both hands and falling down, Baoke stood still, raised his head and yelled, exhaling the depression in his chest.

Suzuki watched from the sidelines as Lingnan counterattacked this time, and nodded, quite appreciative.

Because the opposing team has two point guards, Taiga can only choose to keep an eye on the more threatening Imakishi.

Seeing this, Asakawa gave the ball to Kuroko. If Taiga was staring at Kuroko, Asakawa would have passed the ball to Imayoshi.

Both Kuroko and Imakishi have a beautiful pass and both have the ability to attack, making them unguardable.

That's the benefit of having two top point guards on the court at the same time.

On the side of Xiangbei, there are many guards with scoring ability, but there is only one Endo with the qualification of a point guard, except for Oga. The shooting skills of the remote vine are the worse ones in this group of defenders.

Therefore, when Okawa and Endo are on the field at the same time, there is often a person who has to move to the small forward position to form a de facto three-guard formation.
