Chapter 32: Before the Game
All Kanagawa Prefecture colleges and universities and national universities, Kanagawa Prefecture preliminary basketball tournament venue.
"Hey, look over there! It's Hainan's shepherd's gentry! "Audience A's words.
"Shoyo's Kenji Fujima and Toru Hanagata are also here!" Audience B's words.
"It's Lingnan over there!" Audience C's words.
"It's only the fourth game, but there are a lot of people who come to see it!" Aida Hikoichi of Lingnan sat in the audience and looked around, "Yuzumi, it seems that everyone is here to see Sakuragi Hanamichi!" ”
"It seems that Sakuragi will also have time to show his strength, and I think this game will be interesting!" In the end, Hikoto Aida leaned back in his seat and said what he was thinking.
……
"Stream? River? Kaede, stream? River? Kaede, l?o?v?e" Rukawa Kaede's cheerleaders also shouted vigorously in the audience.
Matsui, one of Haruko Akagi's best friends, looked at the Rukawa Kaede cheerleaders not far away, "They're still so down!" ”
"Rukawa is still so popular!" Mito Yohei couldn't help but say.
"Tsukutake...... Awesome and great! ”
"Tsukutake...... Handsome, handsome! ”
"Rukawa Kaede! Rukawa Kaede ......"
Sakuragi ...... Sakuragi ......"
"Xiangbei...... Xiangbei ......"
On the field, the cheerleaders on both sides cheered each other up.
……
"Since the prologue, he has won three consecutive games with a score of more than 100 points, what method will Jin Jiuwu use to deal with the imposing Xiangbei?" News agency reporter Sanae Nakagawa looked at the players on the field who were warming up on both sides, and couldn't help but say, "In addition, the coaching between coaches is also eye-catching!" ”
Immediately after that, Sanae Nakagawa will remember what she had chatted with Kazumi Kawasaki before the start of the match.
"Kawasaki-senpai! Mr. Anzai was your mentor in college, and now you have to fight against him as a coach, how do you feel? Sanae Nakagawa gave a private interview to Kazumi Kawasaki, her classmate and friend who is now the coach of the Tsukutake basketball team.
Kazumi Kawasaki smoked a cigarette and smiled at Sanae Nakagawa. "I haven't seen each other for so long, why is it a visit when we meet?"
"Don't say that! I guess this game must be very intense. Sanae Nakagawa expressed her opinion on this competition, and then continued to ask Kazumi Kawasaki what was in her heart, "Hainan University High School, Xiangyang, and Lingnan, who will be able to disrupt the situation of the top three?" Is it Xiangbei, whose strength has not yet bottomed out? Or is it the veteran Tsuhisa Takeshi who already reached the quarterfinals last year? ”
Then Sanae Nakagawa came to the corresponding conclusion, "I worked as a basketball manager for four years in college, and I am very confident that I will not be wrong. ”
"Sanae! I can't imagine that you used to be more and more like a sports reporter now, haha! Kazumi Kawasaki looked at the former schoolgirl in front of her and now the sports reporter, and couldn't help but say.
Sanae Nakagawa saw that Kazumi Kawasaki not only didn't answer her question, but also joked that she couldn't help but be a little anxious, "Senior! The race is about to start, how are you feeling right now? ”
Kawasaki Ichimi saw that Sanae Nakagawa was anxious, and no longer opened the topic, took a deep breath of the last cigarette in her hand, and then said to Sanae Nakagawa: "Of course I'm very excited!" ”
"You seem to be confident, don't you?" Sanae Nakagawa immediately followed up with the question.
"You know what? I admire the way the players are immersed in basketball, and I also like to see the players crazy about basketball. Upon hearing this, Kazumi Kawasaki was a little excited, "I can't help but be excited when I see each player with a different personality and a shining brilliance with different outstanding skills!" ”
"Of course, if you can win, that's the best, haha!!" Immediately, he would meet the elegant young man, embarrassedly touching the back of his head and smiling......
Thinking of this, Sanae Nakagawa, who was watching the warm-up scenes of the players on the field with a camera, couldn't help but smile, "Senior Kawasaki still hasn't changed at all?!" ”
……
"Ladies and gentlemen, now for the competition between Tsukuwu High School and Xiangbei High School." As the radio sound fell, the players from Xiangbei and Jinjiuwu also took the field one after another.
Tsukutake –
"Let's play! Everybody! "Wu Daiyuhe led the players onto the court.
Xiangbei –
"Go all out!" Akagi also entered the field with his players.
"Sakuragi, I'll definitely defeat you and snatch Haruko!" Nango Koichiro announced his victory declaration to Sakuragi Hanamichi opposite.
Sakuragi Hanamichi ignored Nango Koichiro's nonsense, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Oh, yes? You're so confident, so come on! ”
"Hey! You stupid boy! Don't jump the ball yet! Wu Daiyouhe shouted at Nango Junichiro.
"Yes!" Nango Kuichiro hurriedly answered and walked to his place.
Akagi Goken looked at the freshman in front of him, a little unconvinced, "This guy is the center of Tsukutake......"
As the referee drops the ball up, the game begins.
"Bang!" When the basketball rises to the top and starts to fall, Akagi Goken and Nango Koichiro jump high at the same time.
The two sides were evenly matched, and Akagi Goken did not take advantage of the slightest advantage in the hands of Nango Koichiro, and the final ball still fell into the hands of Tsukutake.
At this time, the players on the reserve bench of the Xiangbei team felt unbelievable,
"Evenly matched!!"
"Akagi-senpai has met an opponent!"
"Is that number 15 really only in the first grade?"
……
Tsukutake's No. 7 point guard Hiroshi Natsume quickly came to Xiangbei's three-point line with the ball, staring at his opponent Miyagi Ryota, and shook Miyagi Ryota with a few quick shakes, and rushed to the inside with the ball.
Seeing this, Rukawa Kaede left the No. 5 scoring guard and Izumi Takashi and stepped forward to make up for the defense, but Natsume Hiroshi did not touch it hard, and directly hit the ball to the ball to Nango Koichiro, who took the ball, and Nango Koichiro wanted to forcibly break through Akagi Gangken to shoot, but was directly covered by Akagi Gangken, but the dropped basketball was once again picked up by No. 8 small forward Kenta Mine.
Kenta Mine immediately passed the ball to the No. 4 power forward Wu Daiyuwa, who made a vacancy outside the three-point line, and Godai Tomokazu made a direct three-point jumper, Miyagi Ryota just jumped forward to make up for the defense, but it was too late, the blue ball flew above Miyagi Ryota's outstretched right hand, accurately fell into the basket, and hit the three-point shot, bringing a good start for Tsukutake.
On the reserve seat of Xiangbei,
Satoru Tsunoda's words, "That's fast! ”
Tetsushi Shiozaki's words, "That kind of dribbling and passing skills are too powerful"
Yasuda Yasuharu's words, "It was easy to avoid Liangtian and Rukawa"
Inoue saw their strengths in just one attack, "Although Tsukushi is mostly short players, he is fast and the offensive rhythm is very well coordinated!" ”
"It's a pretty good team!" Coach Mitsuyoshi Anzai also nodded in agreement.
And Tsukutake's cheerleaders were already crazy at this time, and their cheers were even louder.
……
Miyagi Ryota passed the ball directly to Sakuragi Hanamichi, who ran forward quickly, Sakuragi Hanamichi received the ball quickly and quickly, and the speed was amazing, but Wu Daiyuwa was very focused and stepped into the three-point line almost at the same time as Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Sakuragi Hanamichi jumped immediately when he stepped into the free throw line, and Wu Daiyuzu also jumped up almost at the same time, stretching out his right hand towards the basketball racket on Sakuragi Hanamichi's right hand.
But the basketball disappeared in front of Wu Dai's eyes in the next moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi threw the basketball back, and the basketball accurately fell into the hands of Mitsui Shou, who rushed outside the three-point line.
"Well passed!" Mitsui Shou took the ball and shouted, then jumped high outside the three-point line, perfect hand shape and posture, and threw the handsome hollow of the basketball into the basket.
The Xiangbei team also returned the color with three-point shots.
……
Hiroshi Natsume took the ball to avoid the sneak attack of Ryota Miyagi, and then passed the ball through the crotch from Mitsui Shou's crotch, which was passed to Takashi Izumi, and then Takashi Izumi passed the ball to the hands of Koichiro Nango, who had made a vacancy on the inside, and sent the ball into the basket with a hook before Tsuyoshi Akagi had time to return to the defense.
Tsukutake's personnel shouted in celebration, and Nango Koichiro also stretched out a victory gesture, and then shouted, "Haruko! I'm going to win your heart!! ”
