Showdown with Mitsui Shou (Part I)
As time passed, after several fierce games, the basketball hall of the Yokohama City Sports Center finally welcomed the final of the prefectural junior high school basketball tournament.
The two sides in the final were Yokota Junior High School in Kanagawa Prefecture, which is famous for its sports, and Takeshi Kunitaka, which has the prefecture's superstar basketball star Kotoshi Mitsui. Although the game has not yet started, players from both sides each occupy a half, actively preparing for the upcoming game, but the audience on the sidelines is already full.
However, it was always only a junior high school game, so in addition to a small number of relatives and friends of the players from both sides, or high school basketball coaches who came to find out about the players, there were more basketball enthusiasts like Hikaru Haneda and Kazushi Hasegawa of the same year.
"Ah Guang, who do you think will win?" Kazushi Hasegawa, who was sitting in the corner of the audience, looked at the players on both sides who were warming up, and then asked his friend who was sitting next to him.
"I haven't beaten it, who can tell." Although Haneda vaguely remembers that in the end, it should be the Takeshi country where Mitsui is located that won the final victory, but it seems that the victory was not particularly smooth. Is there really no butterfly effect at all? Not to mention anything else, my friend Kazushi Hasegawa around me doesn't know how much stronger he is compared with the same period of the original book. As for the others, the ghost knows if there are any characters who have changed because of themselves, and if one or two more pop up inadvertently, the outcome of the game will probably be rewritten.
On the other side of the auditorium, a tall, burly man and a middle-sized bespectacled teenager were discussing the same topic.
"Sure enough, it's the top event in the country, and it makes people's blood boil when they look at it, Akagi, guess which side can win" Mu Dui Gongyan, who was wearing glasses, asked in a low voice with an excited face.
"Well, I don't know" Although the junior high school has a height of more than 190cm, but Akagi Gangken, who is still a beginner in basketball, is still a little shy at this time, and he is still a little shy from the gorilla who can really dominate the inside line of the Kanagawa stadium in the future, and Akagi still lacks the confidence brought by a lot of actual combat and sweat.
At the guest seat, looking at Mitsui Shou, who was stretching his body, he had already been told the result by Jiro Kato - the Haneda family did not agree to his invitation, and Shigeichi Taoka's eyes became even hotter. For the sake of Lingnan, in order to enter the national competition, Mitsui Shou, I must get you, Shigeichi Taoka secretly swore in his heart.
"Oh, hehe~~" The former national player who was invited to come - Anzai Guangyi looked at the players on the court with a smile, because he was wearing thick reading glasses, others couldn't see what this old man who had changed his temperament was thinking.
"Whoa—"
With a sharp whistle, Yokota Junior High School and Mushi Junior High School, the battle for the Kanagawa Junior High School basketball championship began.
The basketball was thrown high from the referee's hand, and the starting center of Yokota Middle School jumped at the right time, first touched the basketball, and hit the ball in the air to the position of his teammate.
Not to be outdone, the basketball was handed over to Mitsui Shou after half the court, and he shook off the defenders in front of him with a change of direction, and Mitsui Shou immediately scored a shot to pull back a city.
Although there is no talented player like Mitsui Shou who can excel in junior high school, no one will underestimate Yokota Junior High School, which made it all the way to the final by a large margin.
The two teams go back and forth, playing well, the start is only ten minutes, the score has come to 22:20, Yokota Middle School temporarily leads by one goal, but at this time the ball is still in the hands of Takeshi Kunichi.
"These guys' physical strength is really good" In the face of the bag of the two players, Mitsui Shou chose to pass the ball to his teammates after a shot, but unfortunately the player of Mushi Kunichu couldn't make a jump shot after receiving the ball, and the rebound was grabbed by the forward of Yokota Middle School, a long pass, and assisted his teammates to score a layup.
"It's so strong! It's so powerful on both sides, Akagi, look! Is this the contest between the highest-level players in the country? Mu Du's glasses reflected the light of envy.
"Hmm" Even Akagi Goken, who was a little paralyzed, was moved by the performance of both teams. Everyone is also a middle school student, one day, I will be as strong as them, no, even stronger than them, my dream of Akagi Gangxian is to dominate the country!
"Hmm! It's a plan.,It's very skillful.。 Hikaru Haneda touched the shallow fluff on her chin.
"Huh? Is there anything wrong? Ah Guang. Hasegawa Kazushi didn't see anything special because of his experience and vision, so he asked.
"The coach at Yokota Junior High School is very smart! Relying on the physical advantage of his players, he clamped Mitsui and forced Mitsui to pass the ball out..."Shigeichi Taoka, who was sitting in the guest seat, also noticed the problem on the court early.
"Oh, hehehe~~" Mitsuyoshi Anzai, who is wide in heart and fat, is still smiling.
"Deliberately let Mitsui pass the ball out?" Kazushi Hasegawa was confused, saying that he still hadn't figured it out.
"Don't you think it's too fast for both sides to score? It has only been more than ten minutes since the start of the game, and the combined scores of both teams have reached almost 50 points, which means that both teams have a fast transition between attack and defense. After all, it's just a junior high school student, and this level of physical exertion is not ordinary, and Yokota Junior High School has mastered the rhythm of the game from the beginning. Yu Tianguang explained.
"But what does this have to do with letting Mitsui Shou pass the ball?"
"Because for Yokota, Mitsui Shou is too strong, even if it is a two-person package, it will not be outdated and barely restrain Mitsui. Moreover, Mitsui Shou is probably facing more than two people in every game. In the face of this level of defense, although it is a little difficult, it is not completely unacceptable, and the physical exertion of Mitsui Shou, who is used to it, is not so great. But the other players in Takeshi Kunichi are different. ”
"Different?" Hearing this, Hasegawa turned his attention to the panting Takeshi Kunichu players on the field, who looked tired.
On the courtside seats, Shigeichi Taoka also watched the performance of the players from Takeshi Kunichu. In the final analysis, it is still a difference in the background, although Yokota Middle School does not have a phenomenal scorer, but it also deepens the cooperation of each player, coupled with the physical strength of traditional sports schools. In terms of overall strength, Yokota Junior High School can be said to completely surpass Muishi Junior High School, which relies on Mitsui's scores.
"As long as Mitsui Kotoshi is not allowed to pitch, the other players in Takeshi Kunichi are not worried at all, and relying on cooperation, it is not impossible for Yokota Middle School to defend three and four. And as the physical strength continues to decline, the scoring efficiency of Wushi Guozhong will become lower and lower. On the contrary, as long as they survive the initial period when the opponent is full of energy, the players of Yokota Middle School will become more and more relaxed. ”
Kazushi Hasegawa listened to Hikaru Haneda's analysis and looked at it again, and sure enough, the players on the field were getting slower and slower, and the mistakes became more and more. The players of Yokota Junior High School took the opportunity to score consecutive points and opened the score at once.
"But, Ah Guang, didn't you just say that Yokota's two players can't stop Mitsui Shou? How can Mitsui Shou be at this time..."Kazushi Hasegawa, who saw the situation on the field clearly, asked the last doubt in his heart.
"Oh, hehehe~~ What a smart child," Anzai Guangyi took a sip of tea and couldn't help but say.
"Well, yes, it is admirable to know that you can't do it, but it is the general's job to accurately analyze the situation you are facing and make the right response. Mitsui-shou's talent is really enviable," Shigeichi Taoka echoed when he heard this.
"This is where Mitsui Shou is smart, Mitsui Shou now wants to score with all his strength, so as to help the team bite the score is not impossible, however, even with his physical strength, it is impossible to keep scoring against the defense of two people, once Mitsui Shou's physical strength is exhausted, this game will be over. So conserving his stamina and breaking out at the end is what he should do. ”
Perhaps because of the elimination mechanism of the game, some strong teams may not be able to stand in the end, but the team that can stand together in the end must be a strong team. Although it was only two people, the pressure felt by Mitsui Shou on the field at this time was no less than that of some other teams when three people defended.
30:22
Damn, we can't let the score continue to grow, and once it exceeds double digits, we may not be able to recover it in the second half. Thinking of this, Mitsui Shou lowered his center of gravity to protect the ball while giving his teammates a look.
A crotch dribble puts the basketball in his left hand, and Mitsui Shou slams the ball in his left hand towards his left front.
Yokota's defenders were also quick to react, with one player dodging to jam Mitsui's most comfortable direction in advance, and another player quickly filling in to prevent Mitsui's feints from changing direction and breaking through.
Sure enough, Mitsui Shou's breakthrough to the left was just a feint, and he pulled back his body halfway through, and took a step back due to inertia, squatting down and jumping up with the ball in both hands.
The player who had previously filled the position hurriedly stepped forward, but was unexpectedly blocked by Mitsui Shou's teammates who had hinted at coming to block and dismantle, and could only watch Mitsui shoot.
"Brush"
Basketball goes to the net.
30; 25, there is still one minute left before the end of the first half (check it, the original book says that there are only 30 minutes in the middle school, and 15 minutes each in the second half.) )
"Mitsui is still too anxious!" Shigeichi Taoka commented.
"Oh, hehehe~~" Anzai Guangyi smiled and did not say anything.
"Reassuring?" Although there are some slaps in the face, but after all, it is not immersive, and Hikaru Haneda doesn't know how to evaluate it, and sometimes the bystanders are clear, but it is not necessarily correct.
"Ah Guang thinks that compared with Mitsui Shou, who is more powerful?" Kazushi Hasegawa asked suddenly.
"Huh? I haven't fought, I don't know" Hikaru Haneda pondered for a long time, still not daring to say that he must be stronger than Mitsui Shou.
"Oh! It's rare to see Ah Guang so humble! For his friend's words, Hasegawa Kazushi was a little surprised.
"But that goal, if it were me, would have gone in," Haneda continued.
"No one can prevent my Mitsui Shou's shot, cheer up, let's defend this ball!"
"Huh-"
At this moment, Mitsui Shou, who was in full swing on the court, loudly encouraged morale.
