CHAPTER XXXI

"I've already scored 20 points, little one, and you've failed in your mission." Imamura was covered in sweat and looked at Kenjiro in front of him with a smile.

"Senior, it's amazing." Kenjiro really admires that it is not for nothing that there are people who score 20 points in front of himself and Oda Kiri, but he knows that he will lose, and he still persists.

"Damn, your coach is still so annoying." Imamura found out in the second half, but so what, disarming and surrendering Imamura won't be chosen, only to fight.

"Well, this? It's hard to answer. Kenjiro scratched his head and said that it was really not good to say bad things about his father behind his back.

"It's nothing, it's basketball, come on and beat me with all your might."

Kenjiro didn't speak, Imamura no longer had the strength to hit the inside, half-turned around and feint to turn around and shoot the basket, Imamura's movements were no longer smooth, Kenjiro saw the opponent's movements clearly, jumped up directly with a big hat, and knocked the ball away.

Hainan attacked, Mu dribbled the ball into the inside, with Kenjiro and Oda Kiri's cover, it was very easy to score a layup.

"It's an honor to defeat you, senior." Kenjiro looked at Imamura, who was still trying to catch the ball.

"Beat me, what are you kidding, the game isn't over yet." Kazuru Imamura made a block with his teammates on the inside, and the two alternated figures, and Kenjiro made up for the defense only to find that there was no basketball.

Imamura hit another 2-pointer near the free throw line, and the Buri Cheers loudly for their trump card, and every time Imamura receives the ball or defends, the cheers of the Buri Cheers can have the enthusiasm to overturn the court.

Mu hung the ball to Oda Cut, and waited on the side as if he was about to fall down at any time, Imamura came out and cut off the basketball, passed the ball to the teammates who were already waiting in the front court, and recovered 2 points for Buri.

At this time, Takao understood that Imamura could no longer hold on to his physical strength, and he could still have such a performance, which was more a reflection of the fighting spirit of the players, the desire to win in the face of victory, and the persistence of success.

Remember on the sidelines to know that the winner is decided, and seize the time to record the best moments of Imamura, the tone of this game has changed because of Imamura's performance.

"Senior, I used to hear that Kanagawa was out of the inside line, but Ogawa's beautiful jade was in front, but I didn't expect it to be true, a big forward like Imamura is rare in the country." Yayoi holds the camera and prepares to take a picture every time Imamura picks up the ball.

"Well, it's true, it's not that it's not famous, every year in college, there are very good interior players from Kanagawa, and many graduates don't choose the path ......of basketball, after all, the country attaches too much importance to basketball." Asada shook his head, it is difficult for athletes to get ahead, even if basketball is out, they can't be rich and expensive, but basketball is also a job to eat youth.

"......" Yayoi also understands the awkward position of basketball in Japan.

"Okay, at least this moment Imamura is glorious, and I must write it well today."

"Of course." Yayoi was also moved by Imamura's performance, and began to conceive an article in his head.

"That's the only way we journalists can support them."

Yayoi nodded in understanding.

Gao Tou just feels sorry for the opponent, and it is very rare for a player to be able to do this, but it is a pity that it is not his own team, but looking at the Kazama brothers on the court in the second half, Yong covered Zhong and shot three points outside the three-point line in Buri, and he was relieved after all.

With 5 minutes left in the game, Coach Buri finally made substitution instructions and replaced Imamura, who had played 35 minutes, and also said that Buri disarmed and surrendered.

The score on the court was 73:54, because there was still the last barrier of the Buri line, and it was also the spiritual leader of Buri, Kenichi Imamura, and everyone in Buri did not give up chasing the score, but it only slowed down the speed of the score.

Kenichi Imamura has 26 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks, it can be said that whether it is scoring or rebounding, Imamura hit a record low in high school basketball games after entering the sophomore year of high school, but everyone knows that this is the best game Imamura played.

So when the captain of the Buri team, Ken Imamura, came to the court, the basketball hall resounded with enduring applause.

Whether it is the person who cheers for Buri or the person who cheers for Hainan, at this moment, give applause to this person who has given everything to the stadium.

With Imamura off the field, the score began to be pulled apart, and Gao Tou also cooperated to replace the main force.

Takatotou led the way from the bench to greet the team winners, and waiter Takasago immediately delivered hand towels and sports drinks.

"Yo-hee, Yo-hee, good job." Gao Tou was very satisfied with the performance of the players.

Although there was some surprise to Bururi's resilience, the team still went according to plan, especially against a team with an inside line like Imamura, Hainan lost 1 rebound in the backcourt, or because the ball bounced too far.

This is a very dazzling performance, and it indirectly threatens the determination of the opponent's shot.

"We are Hainan, since the opponent has exposed its weaknesses, then don't politely take back a big victory." Gao Tou continued to encourage the substitutes.

All the substitutes nodded, and even if there was no encouragement from above, these people would play hard, because in addition to separating the winners and losers, the opportunity to come on as a substitute is very valuable.

Bururi's substitute is not only a gap with Hainan in terms of strength, but also because the score gap is too big, just want to mix until the end of the game, compared with the victory over Hainan, just punch in to work.

In a few rounds, the score was stretched to 30 points.

Fieldside reporters have already begun to retire and prepare for another joint final.

Yayoi was also very depressed, "It's true, there are too few people in our basketball club. ”

"No way, we're just like athletes, who told you not to choose to be a baseball soccer reporter?"

"Don't talk about my predecessors, I also have my insistence."

"That's right, although we can't help athletes compete, we have our own persistence." Asada is very optimistic about Yayoi's future because Yayoi has the potential to be a good journalist, and now he has the opportunity to do so.

"Of course, but the performance of No. 12 Kenjiro today." Yayoi looked at the record book in front of him and remembered the data of this game, Kenjiro had 4 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals, although it was very good, but compared with the quarterfinals, it made Yayoi have some doubts.

"Hehe, now Hainan has exposed the freshman No. 13 Faun Shenyi, who scored 17 points, 5 rebounds, 15 assists, 5 steals, 2 blocks, such dazzling data, but what good can Hainan have, since it is not needed, isn't it better to hide?"

"I see, Hainan's goal is huge." Yayoi immediately understood after Asada's guidance.

The two rushed to Xiangyang and Hamada Central Stadium, and saw that the score had been fully opened, because the game between the two teams was 20 minutes slower than the stadium, and the time here was just after halftime, and Hamada Central had been pulled away by Xiangyang for 40 points.

"From the perspective of the seniors, the candidates for the national competition will be the victors in Xiangyang, Hainan, and Bururi."

"Hmm."

The first round of the joint finals is over.

Hainan (win) VS Buri (lost)

99：67

Shoyo (win) VS Hamada Chuo (lost)

132：76
