Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Cultivator
When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the Hainan team stopped moving.
With a score of 94:88, the Hainan team had to accept defeat.
"Let's go, line up, don't cry." Ah Mu hooked Kiyota's neck and comforted Kiyota, who was whimpering quietly.
"It's all my fault······ It's all my fault that my pass was stealed! Kiyota was immersed in self-blame.
"It's not your fault for losing, you've done your best." Amu is actually blaming himself, as the core of the team, the responsibility for losing should be borne by him.
In a team, most people just have to do their best, and some people just try their best is not enough, they have to make the team win.
"Let's go, it's a round-robin tournament and we haven't lost yet!" The loss of a game could not shake Amu, his goal was the national competition, and on the stage of the national competition, he had already tasted the bitter fruit of defeat.
"Thank you for the advice!" The two teams formed their ranks and saluted each other.
"Hikoichi, I will never lose to you again in the future!" Kiyota doesn't seem to like the taste of failure.
“······” Hikoichi was helpless, could he wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes first.
"Gaotou, this time I won!" Coach Taoka and Coach Takatou shook hands again.
“······ The Hainan team has not lost yet. "Just losing a round-robin tournament and the final will result in two places in the national tournament.
The crowd on the sidelines gave a standing ovation and thanked both teams for putting together for a wonderful game.
Li Tianci seemed to be more uncomfortable than the Hainan players on the field, he lay on the railing, crying like a child of more than 200 pounds.
"The era when the Hainan team dominated Kanagawa is over!" Yayoi was standing in the press box applauding and couldn't help but sigh.
"yes······" Nakamura is a rare person who completely agrees with Yayoi's words.
Last weekend's match between the Hainan team and the Xiangbei team was only narrowly won, and several strong teams in Kanagawa are now in the middle of the match, and whoever wants to win must go through a fierce battle, and the dominance of the Hainan team has disappeared······
"Let's go, I'm going back to training!" Mitsui stood up, this game made him feel the pressure, and he will play against the Lingnan team tomorrow.
"I'm going back too!" ×3, Sakuragi, Rukawa, and Miyagi all stood up.
“······” Akagi felt helpless, the team is not easy to bring!
"Ahh Today's game is just over, and there will be a game tomorrow, so everyone should pay more attention to rest! Mu Dui's laughter was also a little helpless.
"Humph! A game is nothing, only some people will finish a game and lose their physical strength! Sakuragi looked at Rukawa Kaede meaningfully, and he had grown up, and he had actually learned to be sarcastic.
"Bastard, who are you talking about?!" It's just that the range of this wave of taunts seems to be a bit wide, and Mitsui's sensitive heart has also been touched.
Back in the locker room, everyone on the field immediately collapsed on the bench, the game was too tiring.
Especially in the second half, the Hainan team suddenly increased the intensity of the game, and they didn't feel anything during the game. Sticking to the locker room, Hikoichi never wanted to move the place again as soon as he got his ass down.
"Everyone has worked hard, let's go home and rest in the afternoon!" Coach Taoka looked at everyone and couldn't help but smile.
"Yes! ~~~" The voice that replied sounded a little soft.
Defeating the Hainan team is also a wish of Coach Taoka for many years, and today it can finally be realized, thanks to the children in front of him.
Then there is another wish: to make it to the national competition!
"Everyone, stay in good spirits and don't forget that there is a game to play tomorrow." Happiness is joy, and you can't overdo it, Tian Oka reminded everyone.
"Coach, don't worry, we will win!" Everyone in the Lingnan team replied in unison, even the Hainan team was defeated by us, and they would be afraid of the "mediocre" Xiangbei team?
After a short rest, everyone dispersed at the entrance of the gymnasium and went back to their homes.
Hikoi followed his sister home, took a shower when he got home, went into the room and lay down, and fell asleep after a while, not even knowing that Yayoi was going out. Yayoi had to go back to the company after the game, and she specially sent Hikoichi home.
"Hikoichi, wake up, get up and eat!" In a daze, Hikoichi heard Yayoi's voice.
"Huh? Sister? What time is it? Hikoichi rubbed his eyes, not waking up yet.
"It's almost half past five, get up quickly, my parents are not here, go out to eat today." Yayoi was standing at the door of Hiko's room, "Seeing that you are doing well today, my sister will invite you to a big meal." ”
"Yo, sister, why are you so good? Is it because I didn't drag the immortal path back? Hikoichi wiped his face to sober himself up.
"Don't be poor, hurry up, I'm starving to death after a busy day!" Yayoi urged.
"Alright, let's go." As soon as Yayoi said this, Hikoichi also felt hungry and quickly got out of bed and set off.
After a good night's sleep, I quickly felt much better, but my legs still seemed to be a little weak, and my chest ached when I moved.
After going out, Yayoi led the way to the restaurant, saying that it was a big meal, but in fact, it was just eating Western food, but in terms of Yayoi's income, it was indeed a big meal.
"Come, congratulations on your victory over the Hainan team!" Yayoi picked up the juice and clinked glasses with Kazuhiko.
"Thank you, sis!" It can be seen that Yayoi is really happy for the Lingnan team.
"As long as you defeat the Xiangbei team again tomorrow, you will be able to qualify for the first place! The Lingnan team hasn't made it to the national competition yet······" Ever since he first met Sendo, Yayoi had been looking forward to the day when his talent would be showcased on the stage of a national competition, and now everything is so within reach.
Moreover, Yayoi has given one more person to look forward to.
"Borrow your auspicious words, sister! However, the Xiangbei team is not easy to deal with, and tomorrow's game will not be easy to play. "Hikoichi didn't take it lightly, what he was most worried about was his physical strength, and it would definitely not be 100% tomorrow.
Now I know how hard it is to play back-to-back games in the NBA, and it's no wonder that some CBA players don't adapt well, and the schedule is too dense.
"By the way, we have compiled today's game data in our club, do you want to see it?"
"Okay, go back and show me!"
······
While Hikoichi and Yayoi were feasting in the cafeteria, one of them had just come out of the school gymnasium.
It's Yuzhu, he just finished practicing.
Even Coach Taoka, a workaholic, went home, and Yuzumi actually returned to the school's gymnasium to practice alone.
He couldn't forgive himself for sitting on the sidelines and watching at a critical moment, he was the captain, but today's performance was really disappointing, and his role was not as good as Xiandao, or even as good as Hikoichi.
After the disbandment, Yuzhu came to the gymnasium alone, and he practiced until he couldn't lift his arms.
Tomorrow is going to play with the Xiangbei team, Xiangbei's inner line can be said to be stronger than Hainan, if the Lingnan team loses Yuzhu like today, the situation will be very unfavorable.
Moreover, tomorrow's opponent is Akagi, and Yuzumi doesn't want to lose to anyone who loses to him!
