"Do you remember what people called you in the beginning?"

"Hmm"

"'Big Pure', everyone calls you that, and now that I think about it, you seemed really tall and thin back then."

Thin?? Chiba and Hideko glanced at each other and peeked at Yuzhu together. Seeing that the fish is full of muscles, I can't imagine how thin he looks!

"Yuzumi, you are the first talented player I coached." Coach Taoka turned his head to look at Yuzumi.

Yuzhu didn't speak, but he thought of his freshman year of high school, when he had just arrived under Coach Taoka, who couldn't adapt to the training assigned by Coach Taoka, and often hid and vomited alone, plus his teammates secretly discussed that he "can't do anything except be tall", which made Yuzhu once have the idea of quitting the basketball club. Coach Taoka learned about Uzumi's thoughts and personally came to persuade him, telling him that "height is also a type of talent" and kept him.

At that time, he was still a rookie and didn't even like basketball that much.

"I know it's unrealistic for you to continue your studies and play basketball, it's your own decision," Yuzhu is not the kind of guy who disregards his family's expectations under the pretext of his dreams, "I also know that even if I retire, I can play basketball at any time if I want to play basketball in the future"

"But that's different, it's completely different." Coach Taoka looked at Uozi and felt like he was looking at his own child, "Aren't you going to leave some different memories for your basketball career?" In this final year. ”

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

At the end of the half, the score stopped at 45:44, Lingnan still maintained a one-point advantage, of course, only one point is not an advantage at all, and the suspense was left to the second half.

In the locker room of the Lingnan team, the atmosphere was a little dignified.

"What's wrong with everyone, it's clear that we are ahead, why are we all downcast!" Hideko broke the silence.

"Yes, come on, everyone, we will win!" Chiba also said.

"I'm sorry!"

“？！” Yuzhu suddenly stood up, startling everyone.

"I'm not going to let that number 5 score easily in the second half!" Yuzhu looked around at everyone, as if he was giving a military order.

"Needless to say, I'm sorry, Captain! You didn't do anything wrong! Cross-Country also stood up and comforted his captain.

"Yes! We'll work together! And they all stood up.

"Okay," Coach Taoka finally started to speak at this time, he still kept a straight face, "Everyone sit down, there is still the second half of the game to play, hurry up and rest." ”

Everyone sat down "swish", today's Coach Tianoka can't be messed with.

"Don't be pressured," Coach Taoka looked at Uozumi, and then turned to everyone and said, "After all, this is a national competition, and it's normal for opponents to be strong, and it's impossible to win every game easily, so we have to be mentally prepared to fight until the last moment." ”

Indeed, no matter how much you lead in the national competition, you can't relax, and the loss of the Mountain King to Xiangbei is the best example. Lingnan was only less than ten points ahead, and it was normal to be caught up.

At this halftime, Coach Taoka was mainly adjusting everyone's mentality.

It is undeniable that everyone in the Lingnan team is very cautious in their hearts because they are participating in the national competition for the first time, and they put themselves in a very low position to face the game. But because we have achieved the best results in history this year, and the first national competition is also a big victory, there is a trace of pride hidden in our hearts. This trace of pride may not have been noticed by themselves, but it is real and secretly affects the mentality of everyone.

It is the combination of these two contradictory mentalities that makes everyone start to be impatient after not being able to take the lead for a long time.

There is still no rush to play.

When the two teams returned to the court, Hikoichi pulled the jersey pressed in his pants slightly outwards to make it look more natural.

He looked up at the auditorium, who had mostly returned to their places.

I didn't see Xiangbei, I should have gone back, Yan looked around, and thought silently.

If we lose tonight, then we'll go back too.

"Beep!! The second half of the game begins! ”

Yuzhu and Smith stood in the middle circle again, and Yuzhu looked at Smith viciously: "Hmph! The second half won't make it easy for you to score points again! ”

Smith looked at Yuzhu and didn't speak.

Smith doesn't like, he likes to solve problems with strength, and his response to Yuzumi's declaration is to jump higher in scrums!

Yuzhu didn't care, he knew that he didn't bounce as well as the other side, and it was not strange that he couldn't fight for the ball, and he hurried back to defend after landing.

In the second half, Coach Tianoka sent all the starters again, and there was no personnel adjustment on the Kanayama commercial side for the whole game.

Hikoichi was half a step away from Nara Yukio, always paying attention. He also saw that Nara Yukio's athleticism was a little worse, so if he wanted to attack by himself, he would choose to find cover.

Sure enough, it's Mizumura Shuwen again!

This time Sendo made a big delay, so after the block, Hikoichi was still in front of Nara Yukio, but he was a little far away from Nara Yukio!

Hikochi knew that it was not good, and sure enough, Nara Yukio stepped on the three-point line and shot!

"Huh!" The long two-point hit, and Jinshan Commercial overtook the score at the beginning of the second half!

After the goal, Jinshan Commercial quickly retreated to prevent the Lingnan team from attacking quickly, but Hikoichi didn't plan to speed up at the beginning, and the lineup on the field was a bit wasteful.

Hikoichi dribbled past half court and made a gesture, and the Lingnan team almost completely vacated the left half, leaving Fukuda alone.

Since you can't be in a hurry, let's fight slowly, the position of the Lingnan team is not bad!

Hikoichi dropped the hoist, and Fukuda chose to attack with a basket, a tentative step, and directly broke to the right side!

Takakura Temple reacted slowly, and a slight physical contact only passed after Fukuda!

Smith came to make up for the defense, Foton shot early, and a small hook hit the board!

The opening was capped, and Fukuda has always remembered it.

Nara Snowo hoisted the ball to Smith again, and now it was up to the fish to live.

As soon as Smith caught the ball, Yuzhu clung to it.

Yuzhu has also thought about it, how to prevent Smith? In the first half, Yuzhu was afraid of Smith's speed, and didn't dare to step forward, for fear of being overcome, but later he thought about it and found that this was not right, and the speed couldn't give him room to accelerate!

Strength, Uozumi decided to shift the theme of the duel between the two to power. It's not that Smith's strength is not good, but relatively speaking, this is the part where Yuzhu and Smith have the smallest gap.

Whether it's explosiveness, agility or ball sense, Smith is better, and the difference in power is not so obvious. In this case, Yuzhu made up his mind and he spent brute force.

The first step is to be close to the body, and Yuzhu keeps squeezing Smith with his body, so that he has to stand there hard all the time.

Smith didn't panic when he saw this, he first stabilized his foot, and then suddenly dribbled short, and when he turned around, his left arm was stuck in Yuzhu's waist!

The speed advantage is not only manifested in the head-on breakthrough, but also in the turning speed!

But Yuzhu was already prepared, and he forcefully crossed the road block, lowering his center of gravity while continuing to squeeze Smith!

"Hmm!" Smith slammed into Yuzhu's chest, snorted, but didn't crash away!

originally wanted to take a step in and dunk directly, but now he can only stop a hook hand with the ball with both hands!

Yuzhu raised his arms high and tried his best to interfere!

"Bang!" The ball hit the neck of the basket and didn't go in!

It seems that this ten-centimeter height advantage is still useful! Big ones are good for big ones!
