Chapter 62: I'm Back Again

"Hikochi, what's wrong with you!" There was no time to celebrate the goal just now, and everyone in the Lingnan team immediately surrounded them!

Hiko fell to the ground on one side, clutching his left leg, his face covered in sweat and moaning quietly.

"Referee timeout!" Seeing that someone was injured and fell to the ground, the referee immediately blew a timeout.

"Hikoichi! Are you okay? The crowd on the bench also gathered around, and Chiba rushed to be the first!

No one could see what was going on, and everyone's eyes were all following the basketball, when they suddenly heard a scream from Hikoichi, and when they turned their heads to look, they only saw that Hikoichi had fallen to the ground.

After a while, it didn't seem to hurt as much as it had been, and Hikoichi's reaction was finally not as intense as it was just now.

"Hikoichi!" Chiba crouched beside Hikoichi and watched worriedly.

"Shhhh Hikoichi endured the pain.

The players of Uchimura No. 2 didn't know what was going on, they didn't pay much attention to it, they got together on the field to discuss what to do next, and they didn't give up the game yet. Jun Tanaka lowered his head and stood alone on the periphery, not participating.

"Let's take a break!" Uozui looked at Hikoichi's appearance and was obviously not suitable to continue the game.

“······” Hikoichi didn't want to end up.

Fukuda and Chiba helped Hikochi up.

"Lingnan team, can you continue to play now?" At this point, the referee came over and the game could not be interrupted for a long time.

In the end, Hikoichi was replaced by Coach Tian Gang with Uecao.

Hikochi came to the sidelines with Chiba's support and didn't say a word.

"It's okay, Hikochi, we won't lose!" Chiba thought Hikoichi was worried that he would lose the match.

"Hmm." Hikoichi didn't say much, sat down, and looked at the field, while Chiba was busy helping him deal with his injured ankle.

The match has continued, Uchimura No. 2 High School serves to attack, and Nobu Watanabe dribbles.

Hikoichi's eyes kept on one person - Jun Tanaka.

Just now, Tanaka's feet appeared in a place where they shouldn't be······

On the field, Tanaka Jun seemed to be absent-minded and out of place with the whole game. Stealth when attacking, not taking the initiative to ask for the ball, completely different from the momentum of insisting on singles before, his eyes are always blurred, as if he is thinking about things, and even a few passes from Shin Watanabe he almost didn't receive them.

He didn't contribute much when he defended, he just followed Ikegami.

However, these situations just didn't play well in the eyes of others, and only Hikokai, who had been observing, saw the change in Tanaka's mood.

Looking at the game on the field, there was not much reversal because of Hikoichi's downfall.

Although Hikoichi's fate did affect the attack of the Lingnan team, it was not to the point of death. The team also has Xiandao, you know, Yanyi has only been in the team for a few months, and the previous team used Xiandao as an arrow to reach the semifinals.

The Immortal Dao began to show its edge, and the Lingnan team began to enter the rhythm of the Immortal Dao. The immortal road that scored like chopping melons and vegetables in the enemy formation is back.

Even so, the score did not pull away, the two sides scored alternately, and Uchimura second bit the score.

Uchimura's second pass gradually became smoother, Watanabe Nobu stabilized in the face of Uekusa, and the pass became more and more confident, Hoshino Akisui also actively ran and occasionally got rid of Sendo to score, coupled with James's strong frontcourt rebounding ability, for a while, Mumura's second scoring ability did not belong to Lingnan.

As the game progressed, James' defensive ability on the interior began to shine again. Substitute Hikoichi is characterized by a steady grass on the court, and he is not good at fast attack, so the number of positional battles in the Lingnan team increases, and James's dominance in the interior defense begins to show. The fish, which is not good at attacking, has been deflated many times in his hands, and Fukuda's sudden entry has also been blocked······

In this way, the score of the two sides ended the first half with a stalemate, and the Lingnan team maintained an 8-point lead with 48:40.

Those 8 points seemed so out of reach that Uchimura did his best to keep the score close for the rest of the first half.

Still doesn't work? Do you need to do anything more······ Before the break, Tanaka stood on the sidelines, staring at the score on the scoreboard, pain and struggle flashing in his eyes.

This scene was taken into the eyes of Hiko.

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

The two sides returned to the locker room to rest.

On the side of Uchimura No. 2 High School, the fat coach did not embarrass Tanaka Jun again. Although Tanaka Jun was almost invisible later, he was quite happy that he did not dominate the ball alone, and the team's offense became smooth. The team is still eight points behind, but the team is getting better and better at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and coupled with Hikoichi's unexpected injury, he feels that this game still has a chance.

Maybe this is Uchimura's chance to make history and reach the semi-finals!

"Watanabe, pass the ball to the inside more often, and you can also add a little bit of individual attack, your opponent is not strong!" The fat coach began to lay out tactics, "Hoshino, you have to be decisive in your shots, don't worry, there are James and Yoshida on the inside, and you will grab the rebounds in the front court." ”

"Yes!" The two replied in unison.

"James, I'm going to have to keep going for the rebounds in the front court for the rest of the game, Yoshida, and I need your help as well. The current lineup on the opposite side is not as good at fast breaks, and you can be more aggressive in grabbing frontcourt rebounds! "The fat coach is not useless, he can see that the speed of the Lingnan team has dropped a lot after Yan got off the field.

"Hmm!" The two also responded.

"Hoshino, it's the Immortal Dao that is opposite you, you don't have to be pressured, just let go of the fight." Kanagawa plays basketball Everything, there is no one who doesn't know Sendo, and it's not a shame to lose to him, "When defending him, try to drive him to the inside, and then wrap him up and let James deal with him!" ”

"Yes!" Hoshino Akisui felt that it was too difficult to defend the Immortal Dao, and such a strategy was much simpler than defending the Immortal Dao.

Jun Tanaka was not mentioned, no one reminded the coach, and he didn't care, sitting alone in the corner, muttering to himself.

Not enough······ One more time······

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

"Hikochi, are you okay with your ankle?" In the locker room of the Lingnan team, Xiandao asked, and everyone was worried about Hikoichi.

"It's okay, it's much better." Hikoichi smiled at everyone.

On the sidelines just now, Chiba had already helped deal with it, and now it seems that it is just an ordinary sprain, and it hurts when the left foot lands, but it is not a big problem. Hikoichi decided to wait until the game was over and then go to the hospital for a check-up, so be careful.

"Everyone played well in the first half." Coach Taoka, looking at the five people who were resting on the stool, "You can't relax in the second half, and everyone can see that Uchimura No. 2 still has the strength to fight." ”

"Now we have the advantage, we just have to play it steady. As for the black player on the inside, it is still necessary to pay attention to defending his frontcourt rebounds. Fish live, card bit, jam him for me, I believe your skills are better than his! Coach Taoka looked at Uozumi, and it was obvious that the black man was sharpening his gun, and his strength was based on physical fitness, not technique.

"Yes!"

Yuzhu played a very aggrieved game, and playing with people with good physical fitness is like this - jumping higher and faster than me, what can I do?

But at halftime, Yuzhu got used to it, and he was used to the guy who was stuck behind him flying around in the sky.

Uzumi's goal now is to protect every backcourt rebound as much as possible.

This is an adjustment of mentality, no longer so persistently pursuing temporary victory and defeat, admitting one's own shortcomings, facing one's own shortcomings, and looking for ways to deal with them.

Since I can't jump you, then I'll win you in the slot, or if it doesn't work, I'll call someone.

Don't look at Yuzhu's five big and three thick, his brain has always been good, in the original book, it was he who woke up the confused Akagi in the game against the Mountain King in Xiangbei.

"Fukuda, you still have to attack resolutely, don't be afraid." Ooka was afraid that Fukuda would be overshadowed, so he didn't dare to hit the inside line.

"Hmm!" Coach Taoka was obviously overwhelmed.

"Immortal Dao, I don't think anyone on the other side can restrain you." Coach Taoka looked at Sendo.

"Coach, the other side is also very strong." Xiandao smiled modestly, obviously scoring easily.

"Grass and ponds, you ······" Tian Oka was accustomed to the fairy way and looked at the last two.

"Coach!" Suddenly, someone interrupted Coach Taoka!

"Huh?!" It's Hikoichi! Everyone looked at him in unison, what are you going to do?

"Coach, I want to play in the second half!" Hikoichi gave his reason for interrupting Coach Taoka.

“?!” What the?!

Coach Taoka didn't expect Hikoichi to make such a request, he looked at Hikoichi and couldn't agree to Hikoichi's request, "In this situation, the team is still ahead, and you don't have to play, which will only increase the risk of you getting injured again." ”

"Coach, I'm going to play." Hikoichi still said this.

"Don't you trust your teammates?" This sentence is a bit harsh.

"No, Coach, it's something else."

“······” Experienced Coach Taoka immediately thought of something.

Other reasons, is it related to previous injuries?

"You still shouldn't be impulsive and take responsibility for your future athletic career." If so, Coach Taoka feels that Hikoichi should not be rash.

"It's not just because of me, coach, you let me play, I'll protect myself. Besides, I'm not going to play the whole second half, just a while. Hikoichi pleaded again.

“······” Coach Taoka looked at the earnest Hikoichi and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Coach, you just let Yan Yi go, he knows the severity." At this time, Uecao actually stood up and spoke to Hikoichi!

Maybe he thinks that Coach Taoka is worried, and he will have a mustard in his heart if he replaces him with the injured Hikoichi.

Planting grass, you're a little too selfless. Coach Taoka thought silently.

"Okay, but if there's a problem, I'll replace you right away!" Coach Taoka compromised.

"Thank you, Coach!" Hikoichi secretly squeezed his eyebrows at the grass and made a look, what a good assist!

Then Hikoichi looked at Coach Taoka again and said sincerely, "Coach, please let me play in place of Ikegami!" ”

“?!”

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

Half-time returns, and players from both sides return to the field.

Do you really want to do it again?······ Yes, it's already decided! It's the way of immortals······ Damn, do you really have to do it again?! Damn!······ Toshishi Tanaka came on the field in a daze.

"Huh?! How can you still play! Isn't it hurt?! Suddenly, the big decibel of Watanabe Shin woke up to talk to him, and he raised his head······

It's him?! How did he play again!

Tanaka Jun saw Hikoichi jumping towards him with his right leg.

"Hey! I'm back again! Hikoichi walked directly to Tanaka Jun's side, and he took the place of Ikegami and played against Tanaka Jun!
