Genji Kataoka was not stared at, and after standing and drinking half of the water in his kettle, he actually went to pick up half a pot of hot water with great interest as a backup.

The red team was a newcomer, and they were dumbfounded. If the seniors of the blue team are like this, and the physical reserves are still abundant, then the second half is really not good.

On the other side of the audience, unlike Hikaru Haneda and others, the veteran players of the blue team were much more prepared.

Kobayashi wiped the sweat from his towel and glanced at the RED team's rest area. Then he said to his teammates who were a little demoralized: "In the end, it is a lack of experience, the physical strength of that group of newcomers has been almost exhausted, and the second half is the moment when we pick up our dignity, you all cheer me up and cheer me up a little." On the other side is just a bunch of first-year newcomers who can only do it! Will we be brought down so easily? Have we forgotten the hard work we have put in and the sweat we have left behind? Tell me, who is the winner of this game? ”

"Xiangyang!" After listening to Hiroshi Kobayashi's encouragement as if he was in the official competition, Shigeki Hirokawa, who was infected with his blood, took the lead and shouted loudly.

“……”

Kobayashi Hiroshi looked at Shigeki Hirokawa who suddenly stood upright with some embarrassment, and the rest of the blue team silently turned their heads, all covering their faces with the towels in their hands, and they all wanted to kick the idiots around them out of the field.

Shigeki Hirokawa looked at Yutaka Seto, who was looking at him with contempt, scratched his head embarrassedly, and asked in a puzzled whisper to Yutaka Seto, "Senpai Seto, is there anything wrong with what I said?" ”

Seto Yutaka looked at the guy in front of him who had taken his place, and said angrily: "We are in an internal practice match, and there are Xiangyang on both sides, what is the difference between your answer and not answering." ”

Shigeki Hirokawa reacted when he heard this, scratching his head in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

Disturbed by Shigeki Hirokawa, the players of the blue team lost the interest in answering, and they all asked their teammates to massage each other's muscles and recover as much as possible.

This is also where the difference between the red and blue teams is reflected.

Not only in terms of physical strength and experience, but also the veterans of the blue team, who have rich experience in the game, far surpass Fuji Zhen and others who have just begun to adapt to the intensity of high school training. Even the rational use of rest time is much better than that of unprepared RED team newcomers.

Even Hikaru Haneda, because he hasn't played a regular game for more than ten years, has almost forgotten the details of these recoveries.

For the blue team, except for Hiroshi Kobayashi, who followed Hikaru Haneda at the beginning, and Shigeki Hirokawa, who was limited by the two members of the red team, the physical exertion of these two may be a little greater. The physical exertion of the rest of the people, relative to their own physical reserves, may not be half of it.

The break time passed minute by minute, and Hikaru Haneda was helpless about it.

Mental fatigue can also be temporarily eliminated by distraction. The soreness of the body can really only rely on the usual exercise and the reasonable distribution during the competition.

There is no shortcut to the problem of physical reserves, only to overdraft yourself through exercise again and again to increase the upper limit of the body's tolerance. And because of the principle of muscle memory, even after a lot of training, it is difficult to see results in a short period of time.

Physical talent is like Rukawa Kaede, in the county qualifiers, after suffering from excessive physical exertion a few times, he had to forcibly suppress himself and wait for the second half to break out again.

Not to mention the first time on the field, you have to face newcomers such as Fuji Zhen, who has more than half of Xiangyang's main lineup, and the physical exertion will only be more, not less.

Thinking of this, Hikaru Haneda could only open his mouth to comfort everyone: "Don't worry, we have done a good job, don't forget, it is we who are leading now." In the second half, we just need everyone to play steadily and not let them catch up. We suppressed Xiangyang's team in the half! ”

Genji Kataoka reacted at this time, yes! With just a group of temporary newcomers, they suppressed Xiangyang's main lineup without any cooperation. If it weren't for Hikaru Haneda's words, Genji Kataoka would almost have thought that he was just playing a close practice match.

Since when did I have the illusion that the two sides are evenly matched? Genji Kataoka patted his head in some surprise.

Kenji Fujima's eyes flashed with a hint of unwillingness, and he could serve as Xiangyang's interim coach in the future. Fujima not only understood the subtext in Haneda's words, but through his own observations, Fujima also realized that it was no longer possible for his teammates or himself to behave like in the first half.

Although I know that it is not shameful to lose to my predecessors, but I don't know why, Fuji Zhen just feels unwilling in his heart. Just like Fuji Zhen in the future, who insisted on playing the winter game until the third grade, although he was still very young at this time, he was also unwilling.

Kazushi Hanagata and Kazushi Hasegawa never thought that they had the possibility of winning at the beginning, but it was not that they were not enterprising. Because they have been educated in the island country since childhood, it is normal for the two of them to feel that their predecessors are better than themselves.

Moreover, it is different from Kenji Fujima, who only realized that he was in the world of slam dunk a month ago, and transferred halfway. Kanagata and Hasegawa, a native of Kanagawa, know very well what the word 'shoyo' represents. Facing the basketball team that is already at the national level, the two Huaxing really can't give birth to the confidence that they can replace.

This is the same as ordinary people who have just graduated and have to challenge the performance of their predecessors after entering the company, even if normal people have that kind of talent, they will not feel that they have that ability now.

In the face of the different reactions of his teammates, Hikaru Haneda was the most helpless one, thinking too long, and fearing that his teammates would be frustrated because the second half was difficult, and the result was that he was worried in vain.

Hikaru Haneda, who figured it out, finally didn't have to be entangled, and slapped his face: "Then let this group of seniors see our resilience!" Come on, everyone! ”

Hikaru Haneda, Kenji Fujima, Toru Hanagata, Kazushi Hasegawa, and Genji Kataoka, who is a little arrogant in his own identity, all stood in a circle, each holding out a hand and putting it together.

Yes, it may not beat you, but at least it will impress you.

And, what if?

"One, two, three"

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

I don't know if it's a coincidence, everyone on the blue team did the same thing at the same time as the newcomers on the red team.

"Poof, hahahahahaha~?~"

After hearing that the other party was shouting slogans and cheering up like themselves, the red and blue teams looked at each other, and the two teams exchanged eyes. After a moment of silence, I don't know who couldn't help but laugh first, and then everyone in both teams laughed out loud at the same time.

"Ahahahaha~~"

Kenji Mizuno looked at the two teams of people who were as imposing as rainbows, but not as dire as before, and a warm smile appeared on his vicissitudes of life, which is not bad.
