In the corner of the auditorium, a group of students in black tracksuits sat around watching the game, and the white custom logo on the tracksuit read the word "Iwakura", as if announcing to outsiders that it was one of the top eight teams sitting here to watch the game.

Looking at it, a tall student suddenly stood up.

"Let's go, I'll go to the bathroom."

"Oh! Okay, seniors. ”

The junior students hurriedly raised their knees to make way for people to walk sideways, and waited until the senior member who had spoken earlier had passed before to relax.

"This guy in Murakami is too nervous, isn't he, how many times have you been to the bathroom today? It can't be a problem there, hahaha."

After watching Murakami walk away, a few seats apart, a player from Iwakura High School suddenly said to his teammates next to him.

"It's not good to say bad things behind other people's backs."

"Just kidding! But seriously, it will be our turn to play against Xiangyang after Hainan is over. I'm actually nervous, but it's not as obvious as Murakami. ”

"I heard Murakami say before, it seems that there are acquaintances he knows in the Xiangyang team, maybe he is afraid of losing face to his friends!"

"Oh! Oh! I've heard him talk about it, I think I met him when he was playing streetball in the second grade, and it's said that his ball skills are so good, eh, what's it called, I can't remember it, do you remember?? ”

"Uh-this, I don't remember this either, I just know that there was this person. Anyway, Murakami is so nervous, I'm worried that when I play later, I don't know if there will be a movie. ”

"You can rest assured about this, I don't know how Murakami used to be, but now I'm nervous before the game, it's better than being nervous when it's time for the game, and besides, I'm sure Murakami will adjust his condition."

"Well, I hope it's as you say."

The topic slowly became a little heavy with a sigh, and looking at the fierce game between Xiangbei and Hainan off the field, the two people from Iwakura High School suddenly lost the interest in continuing to chat. In fact, the two seem to joke and talk loudly, isn't it a way to release inner tension?

I have to say that whether it is the young Xiangbei or Hainan, which seems to only show the 'tip of the iceberg', the strength of the two teams on the field has put a lot of pressure on several other teams.

On the other side, in a restroom in the basketball hall.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa—"

Murakami stood in front of the sink and turned on the tap, bent over and bowed his head, letting the cold water from the hose wash over his face, trying to make himself more sober.

You can't be mistaken, the guy on the other side wearing a Shoyang green tracksuit is definitely Hikaru Haneda himself.

The moment he entered the stadium and recognized Hikaru Haneda, Murakami, who had a big grinning appearance, was very unsettled. Although I had been mentally prepared for a long time, when I really saw it, Murakami still felt something indescribable in my heart, was it jealousy? Is it helplessness? Or is it desperation?

Murakami even felt for a while that in the entire basketball arena, he could really understand how terrible Hikaru Haneda was, and he was the only one left except for the people of Xiangyang. Maybe the No. 12 who Hainan just played could compete with Haneda, but he was abused by Haneda Hikaru for a year, no matter how hard he tried, Murakami really didn't have any confidence at all.

"Alas, maybe there will really be a big change in Kanagawa's basketball this year, if only I was born a year earlier, I can avoid Haneda and a few of them. Well, it's not bad to be born two years late..."

After standing for a long time in front of the gurgling water, Murakami raised his head, looked at himself in the mirror and sighed, muttered to himself, turned off the faucet and left.

By the time Murakami returned to the basketball hall, the first half of the game between Xiangbei and Hainan had just ended.

"Yo, Murakami, you're back, why did you go for so long, you missed the show."

"Maybe I was in a hurry to leave in the morning and ate a bad stomach. Alas, don't talk about me, what's the situation on the field now? I don't think the score of Xiangbei is much worse than Hainan. ”

On the huge electronic display, the score between Xiangbei and Hainan was 54:55, and at halftime, Xiangbei was only one point behind Hainan.

"Don't you think it's a bit scary? It's only half time! ”

"Hmmm! It's scary to think about it! Tell me more about what's going on. ”

After listening to Murakami's words, the teammates who had joked before no longer bothered about the problem of Murakami going to the bathroom, and explained to Murakami in detail: "You didn't see it, not long after you went to the bathroom, Xiangbei's No. 9 was like a basketball god possessed, brushing and brushing, throwing several balls in a row, Hainan couldn't stop it at all, and there was no way to take the guy in Xiangbei." ”

"Well, then what? How did you catch up in Hainan? You continue. ”

Xiangbei's No. 9 player, Murakami knows, and knows that it is Mitsui Shou who has been singled out with Hikaru Haneda during the winter vacation. Mitsui's perverted hand that even Hikaru Haneda didn't have a temper left a deep impression on everyone in the street stadium that day.

Iwakura's teammates paused, and then said: "Then, although Hainan can't stop the explosive Xiangbei No. 9, several other people in Xiangbei are too bad, and they can't stop Hainan's No. 12 from making a layup." Wow, didn't you see the scene where the two teams exchanged scores, how Xiangbei threw and how to have, a completely unreasonable goal; Hainan can be as sudden as it wants, and the outer line of Xiangbei is like a sieve. ”

"Well, but if you fight like this, the physical exertion on both sides is also very large, right?" After listening to this, Murakami pondered for a while and expressed his opinion. Although he usually has a big grin, when it comes to basketball-related things, Murakami is still very calm.

The teammate gave a thumbs up to Murakami and agreed: "It's worthy of Murakami, even if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I can still guess the result." That's right, Xiangbei is still too young, and the first time he reached the quarterfinals, it was the first-year guy Hu Lai. And due to the lack of heritage, I don't think there was any suspense in the second half, and when the halftime whistle blew, several players in Xiangbei couldn't stand firmly. ”

Although that being said, Murakami asked himself, if it was Iwakura, would he be able to score so many points in just half time against Hainan's current lineup?

At the same time, on the opposite side of the Iwakura auditorium, the people of Shoyo in green sportswear were also discussing similar topics.

"Ah, it's a pity, I originally thought that the outbreak of Xiangbei could force out the remaining main forces in Hainan, but I didn't expect it to be solved by Hainan's No. 12 alone, it seems that I can't see all the main lineups of Hainan until the final round-robin finals." Kazuhiko Yamamoto's tone was slightly disappointed, after all, everyone wants to know the opponent's situation in advance so that they can respond early.

For Kazuhiko Yamamoto's pity, other people in Xiangyang also deeply agreed, and they could all see that if the other players in Xiangbei could be a little stronger, it would not be Hainan's turn to solve it with only two main forces.

At this time, Kobayashi Hiroshi suddenly spoke: "Haneda, and Fujima, I have never seen that No. 12 in Hainan before, and it should be the same as you, a first grade." Are you confident that you can stop that guy's breakthrough? ”

As the captain of the team, Hiroshi Kobayashi has to think about other things. Although the threat of Mitsui Shou's outbreak is also very large, if he loses to Hainan, he will not be able to threaten Xiangyang for the time being. On the contrary, it is almost 100% of Hainan, which makes Kobayashi Hiroshi and others a headache, and Mu Shenyi's physical fitness is too terrible for the high school basketball world in the island country.

"You don't know until you've beaten it!"

Following Mitsui and Haneda, Fuji Shin, who found a new opponent, was full of fighting spirit.

"I can't stop it, and neither can Fujima."

With a deep understanding of his own physical fitness, as well as Maki's physical fitness, Hikaru Haneda answered very freely.

"Huh!?"

Xiangyang's group of players collectively made puzzled sounds, and then all shifted their eyes to Hikaru Haneda, wanting to see if this guy had taken the wrong medicine today, and he actually admitted defeat so simply.

The corners of Haneda's mouth were hooked, and his eyes squinted left and right.

"However, I am the only one here to defend against him."
