If there's one thing that makes Lingnan different from other normal high school teams, it's the passing, at least in regular time.

This year, Coach Taoka's training content has added a lot of passing and cutting cooperation, and everyone in the Lingnan team is also willing to pass the ball, so if they fall down to play the position, they can always patiently pass the empty position, not to mention that Akizuki is not good at defense.

Hikoichi steals Minami Chi twice in a row, Minami Chi can't even dribble the ball, and every time he passes half the court, he hurriedly hands over the ball to his teammates, for fear of being attacked by thieves again.

In fact, it is easy to get out of position and be passed if you are not fully sure when you are defending, but Nan Bozhi's dribbling is a bit high, and the speed is not very fast; Every time Hikoichi sticks it, he will pause at the slightest physical contact with Minami Tomo's dribbling rhythm, so Hikoichi made a decisive move and made two steals.

Originally, there were only three people in Akizuki to attack, but now that another one has been abolished, the burden can only fall on Jun Noguchi and Masao Serizawa.

Noguchi's situation is not good, although his skills are good, but he can't take much advantage of the single Sendo. In addition to the first use of flexibility to pass the immortal road, the next can only rely on the weight advantage. But every time he shook off half of his body and wanted to take the opportunity to enter the immortal road, the Lingnan team members on the flanks would wrap him up. It is also accurate that Qiuyue's ability to transfer the ball is insufficient, and the help defense is very decisive.

As soon as Serizawa Masao saw the situation, he secretly said that his opportunity had come, and he wanted to seize the opportunity to perform. He hasn't been able to touch the ball for half a day, there's no way, who let the other two one be the point guard, the ball is already in his hands, and the other is the team boss, he has to give the ball, and finally it's his turn.

was also caught by him, and the off-road defense was indeed a shortcoming, so he also played a few at the beginning. But the off-road attitude is good and the energy is enough, so he stuck to Serizawa Masao, and after a few rounds, Serizawa Masao's hit rate also dropped.

Gradually, Qiuyue High School returned to its "familiar" rhythm - the whole team threw together.

It's just that their luck is not so good during this time, they are very tough in their shots, and they are also tough in striking iron. The score, which had been biting for most of the half, finally showed signs of loosening, and the Lingnan team began to take the lead.

"Xiandao's defense has improved a lot this year!" Yayoi on the sidelines said, bowing his head and making a note: In the 12th minute of the second half, Coach Taoka changed the formation, and Xiandao played a role at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, leading the Lingnan team to an advantage.

"I just don't know why Yan Yi didn't show up in the first half, I must ask him when I go back, the Lingnan team would have won a long time ago, and I don't have to let Xiandao carry a big fat man, how tiring!" After writing it, Yayoi looked up and complained.

When it comes to the topic of Xiandao, Nakamura didn't dare to talk, so he sat obediently and watched the game.

Indeed, Xiandao's defense has improved a lot this year, especially after reaching the national competition. Sure enough, the most basic thing in defense is attitude.

Maybe it's because Xiandao has also begun to have motivation to enter the national competition, and his laziness has rarely been shown during the competition, and he has a serious face.

······

"Beep——!! Akizuki High School Requests a Pause! "With 5 minutes and 14 seconds left in the second half, Qiuyue High School finally called a timeout, and at 88:78, Qiuyue High School has not scored in four consecutive sports battles!

"Ho, ho, ······" Several main forces of Qiuyue High School sat on the stools, no one spoke, everyone was panting, not only tired, but also feeling that as the score was pulled away, the pressure was getting bigger and bigger.

"The quarterfinals of the national competition are already the best results in the history of our Qiuyue High School." Qiuyue's coach stood in front of them and said.

He rarely coaches the team, and usually gives a little advice and lets the players develop on their own, which is why the players' high school style of play is so strange.

He doesn't seem to be planning to do tactical guidance today: "So what are you worried about, even if you lose, there's nothing to be afraid of." ”

“······” The players looked up at the coach.

The coach smiled, and his tone was incompatible with the fiery atmosphere in the stadium: "Let it go, do you remember what your goal is?" Don't forget that sometimes victory isn't the only thing to pursue. ”

······

On the side of the Lingnan team, Coach Taoka has made personnel adjustments again.

"After a while, Yuju and Ikegami will play, and Sendo and Fukuda will come down to rest for a while. Chishang, you mentioned the front, we still play 3-2 joint defense, the opposite side likes to shoot outside, we must strangle the outside line! Also, just try to interfere with your shots and be careful not to foul, especially three-pointers! "Coach Taoka still only mentions defense, as long as Hikoichi is on the field, Coach Taoka can hardly worry about offense.

"Understood!"

"Captain, come on! We can't win a championship like you! At the end of the timeout, before going on the court, Hikoichi slapped Yuzhu's buttocks, wanting to pat his back, which is still more comfortable in terms of height.

“······ Well! Uozi patted his face, and Coach Taoka also said that he didn't play very well in this game, and as the captain of the team, he had to play with momentum and encourage his teammates.

······

The picture goes back to last night.,Hikoichi and Yuzhu met when they came back from buying supper.,The two just chatted casually when they first met.,The two big men didn't have anything to talk about.。 But when it came to their respective rooms, Yuzhu suddenly spoke.

"I met that Smith again after the game."

Probably when Yuzhu went to the bathroom alone after returning to the locker room, Hikoichi stopped and looked at Yuzhu, and then what?

We had a couple of conversations, and he said······ He also doesn't plan to go on to higher education. ”

Does that mean he will retire after this year? There is no professional league in Japanese basketball, and most people don't go to school and don't play, which is equivalent to retirement.

"yes, no wonder he said that." Hikoichi also gave him some advice after the game, which is even a bit ironic when I think about it now.

"If the Lingnan team loses, then I should retire······" Yuzhu lowered his head, made a "click" in his hand, and squeezed the plastic bag containing the supper.

“······ Hahaha, don't worry, captain, since we have to retire if we lose, then it would be good if we kept winning," Hikochi grinned, he looked up just in time to meet Yuzumi's eyes, "It's not too late to retire when we win the championship!" And there are also ball country sports and winter trials, you don't have to be lazy to retire so early! ”

“······”

"Okay, okay, don't think about it, go back, the supper is almost cold, there will be a game tomorrow, eat early and go to bed early, be careful to be scolded by Coach Taoka if you get up late!" Hikochi turned around and waved his hand and walked towards his room.

"We're going to win this year!" Yuzumi's voice was not loud, as if he was talking to himself······
