Showdown with Mitsui Shou (Part II)

The game continued, and because of the encouragement of Mitsui Shou, the players of Takeshi Kuninaka also fought tenaciously defensively, and in the last minute of the first half, the two teams did not score again.

In the second half, despite Mitsui Shou's best efforts to chase the score, the score of Mushi Kuninaka was still behind, and there was no hope of a comeback. At the end of the second half, perhaps driven by some force in the dark, there was a plot where Mitsui Shou pounced on the field to save the ball, and then was buffed by Coach Anzai. Mitsui, who received the BUFF bonus, also managed to throw in a counterattack mid-range shot and won this very important match for him.

Another week has passed since the junior high school competition, and Hikaru Haneda and Kazushi Hasegawa have also graduated from Umezawa High School for the annual spring break.

"Jingle bell~~, jingle bell~~"

In one house, the phone rings near the entrance, and the slightly urgent ringing seems to indicate the urgency of the caller. But it was a long time before the phone was picked up.

"Moximoxi, this is Hasegawa... What the! Where is it? Okay, I'll go right over..."

Kazushi Hasegawa, who hung up the phone, didn't even have time to change his clothes, and hurried out of the house in his pajamas. How could Haneda and Mitsui Shou meet, Hasegawa thought on the road.

At the same time, the thoughts of a group of onlookers at an open-air basketball court in Yokohama City were: Who is more powerful of these two people?

It's also a coincidence, if it was in normal times, because Hikaru Haneda did not participate in basketball training and staggered the time with Mitsui Shou, the two basically had no chance to meet. But at this time, Mitsui Shou, who also graduated and went on vacation, no longer had to participate in the holiday training of the basketball club, so he happened to ask his friends out to play, but he happened to see Hikaru Haneda playing near the stadium.

On the one hand, it is a hunting heart, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as a long-awaited one, and the two hit it off, and this basketball showdown between the top two junior high school students in Kanagawa Prefecture is about to start.

"I'm warmed up, can I start?" Mitsui Shou said after sweating.

Since Hikaru Haneda was playing with Murakami and others before, it was mainly Mitsui who was warming up. Hikaru Haneda's technique Mitsui is also in his eyes, and he will face it off without warming up, and Mitsui Shou said that he is not arrogant enough to do this.

Haneda Mitsui saw that Mitsui had indeed moved his body, and then nodded and said, "You can do it at any time." ”

"Mito-senpai, please be a referee!" Haneda turned to Mitobe on the sidelines. Then he turned around and said to Mitsui again, "Mito-senpai is the referee, okay?" ”

"Let's get started! My hands were already shaking with excitement! Mitsui Shou responded to Haneda with high morale.

Seeing this, Mitobe, who was on the sidelines, could only step forward and whispered, "No way, I really can't stand the current little ghost." ”

"Na, I think about it, the game is limited to this half, the offense must be launched from outside the three-point line, the first person who is enough for ten balls wins, the scorer continues to attack with the ball, and I don't need to elaborate on the other rules." Mitobe, who was a little lazy, glanced at Hikaru Haneda and Mitsui Shou as he spoke, and found that the two were just staring at each other, and couldn't help but feel even more bored. After all, no one would be happy if a newcomer who seemed to have surpassed him suddenly appeared.

"If you don't have any opinions, the first ball will jump to decide the ball."

Although the initial ball possession of this heads-up duel generally has two types: jumping ball and guessing boxing, Mitobe's proposal to jump ball to determine the ball is still very biased towards Hikaru Haneda. If both of them bounce similarly, Hikaru Haneda, who is 180cm, will naturally have an easier time getting the ball than Mitsui Shou, who is only 175cm. For two people who seem to be evenly matched, the advantage of attacking first is still obvious.

Hikaru Haneda unsurprisingly outplayed Mitsui in a jump ball, grabbed the basketball, and immediately bent down to hold the ball in his arms as soon as he landed.

Kazushi Hasegawa, who was on his way to the court, was blown by the cold wind on the road, and slowly calmed down, and began to think about the duel between his friend and Mitsui Shou. If it is heads-up, Ah Guang, who has better physical fitness, should be able to break through Mitsui's defense, and Mitsui Shou should not be able to get rid of Ah Guang's defense by shooting alone without his teammates to help him block and dismantle. Because he has fought with both of them, Hasegawa still easily analyzes the respective advantages of the two.

But things didn't go as smoothly as Hasegawa Kazushi thought. In the original book, Mitsui Shou, who was able to freeze Fukuda's breakthrough with experience, told everyone present on the first goal of Haneda's attack - my Mitsui Shou's defense should not be underestimated.

Hikaru Haneda broke through several times in a row, and found that although Mitsui Shou was a little slower, he was still able to block his offensive line in time. It's not impossible to force a breakthrough, but once there is a slight physical touch, it's hard to say whether it's blocking the foul or hitting someone with the ball. In countries like Japan, the standard for judging contact fouls is still very small.

Although it is not possible to force a head-on breakthrough, it does not mean that Haneda has no choice.

"I didn't expect Haneda to be forced to deal with it with his back as soon as he came up, and the strength of this year's 'MVP' is good." For Murakami, who has never seen Mitsui Shou compete, he still feels that Hikaru Haneda, who has beaten him, is a little more powerful.

Traditionally, back-to-back singles are generally an offensive means for interior players to get close to the rim, but many times it can also be used by outside players. For example, now, Hikaru Haneda turned his back to Mitsui, his head turned slightly sideways, and his eyes were paying attention to Mitsui's movements. Suddenly, Hikaru Haneda turned sharply to the left and deceived Mitsui, and the basketball was already in his left hand on the way to the turn, and he turned to the right and broke through.

Mitsui Shou, who was in an equal position and had his back to the basket, could no longer stop Hikaru Haneda, who was rushing straight towards the basket.

A simple layup, Hikaru Haneda scored first. But this goal is very heavy for Mitsui, the rule is that the scorer continues to hold the ball, and he has not yet figured out how to deal with Hikaru Haneda's style of play.

In the next few balls, Hikaru Haneda continued to hold the ball on his back, although Mitsui Shou was not as easy to deceive as he was at the beginning after adapting, but this kind of physical fitness was not much different, and the almost unsolvable trick still made Mitsui Shou suffer.

The score soon came to 6; 0, Hikaru Haneda is already six goals ahead, and Mitsui Shou still doesn't have a good way to deal with it. After all, this process is only a few minutes, and Mitsui Shou has to concentrate on facing Haneda's attack, so naturally he doesn't have so much time to think.

The best way to deal with Hikaru Haneda's back is undoubtedly close and rely on his body strength to interfere with Hikaru Haneda, but with Mitsui Shou's physical fitness at this time, it can't affect Haneda much.

"It seems that Haneda can play this 'MVP' 10:0," Murakami on the sidelines said with some sarcasm.

Yamato looked at his friend who had come with Mitsui Shou and said to dissuade him, "Murakami, you're too loud, it's not good to say that." I saw that I had come with Mitsui, and the originally elated companions all showed worried and unhappy looks, if it weren't for the fact that Murakami and the others were high school students, maybe they would have rushed up to do it.

"Little San, he won't lose, he's an MVP"

"I didn't expect that there are people who can't beat the junior, so strong, is that guy really a middle school student?"

"You see, Xiao San, he is standing so far away, he doesn't really want to give up."

“……”

Listening to the intermittent voices from the sidelines, Mitsui Shou only felt bored for a while, and began to feel that he was a little impulsive. But in the end, Mitsui Shou, the more difficult it is, the more it arouses Mitsui's fighting spirit to not admit defeat and not give up. Mitsui took a deep breath and let go of his originally close-fitting defense.

Hikaru Haneda attacked with the ball again, only to find that Mitsui was standing close to two steps away this time staring at him. Seeing this, Hikaru Haneda quickly reacted to Mitsui's thoughts, and decided to block it if he didn't shoot or not? Is this a distrust of my shot? Or are you too confident with the ball in your own hands? Mitsui Kotobuki!

Knowing Mitsui's plan, Hikaru Haneda no longer tried to break through, and dribbled the ball in two steps at will, which was a crisp jumper. Although Mitsui Shou also tried his best to rush forward at the moment when Haneda jumped, he tried to block Haneda's eyes with his hands as much as possible, trying to interfere with something.

But the ball eventually went into the net.

"Brush"

"Brush"

"Brush"

9:0, Rao is Mitsui Shou couldn't help but change color, I didn't expect this guy to shoot so accurately in addition to breaking through. Because it's too far away, I can't do much if I want to interfere, do you really want to lose? I, Mitsui Shou, will actually lose here?

Hikaru Haneda jumped up in front of Mitsui again, the victory was in hand, and Hikaru Haneda made the last shot, and even deliberately chose to receive Mitsui's pass outside the three-point line and shoot.

The orange basketball spun around in the hoop and flew out.
