Chapter 15: Tardiness and Failure

About fifteen minutes ago, Lingnan gave the locker room of the Xiangbei team.

"Good! The list of selected players is now announced! and distribution of jerseys. Inoue said to the players, "Now, the teacher will announce the five players who will play first. ”

Coach Mitsuyoshi Anzai coughed, looked at the list he had already arranged, and said slowly: "Center, Akagi-san, No. 4." ”

"Yes!!" Akagi answered and ran to get the jersey from Ayako Inoue.

"Guard, point guard, Yasuda-san, No. 6. Second back, Shiozaki-san, No. 8! Coach Mitsuyoshi Anzai continued.

"Come on! Yasuda! Shiozaki!! Inoue Ayako snorted at the two.

Yasuda looked at the No. 6 jersey in his hand excitedly, feeling a little excited, and his eyes were full of tears.

"Lift the spirit! It's up to the two of you to adjust the pace of the game!! Yasuda!! Shiozaki!! Work hard! Akagi Goken and Kiki Gongyan snorted.

"Then there are the strikers. Small forward, Rukawa-san, No. 11. Coach Mitsuyoshi Anzai slowly spit out the characters.

"Yes!" Rukawa Kaede stepped forward to take the jersey.

"The big forward was originally played by Sakuragi-san, but he hasn't arrived yet, so it's temporarily served by Mu-san, No. 5." Coach Mitsuyoshi Anzai looked around and said.

"Yes!" Although it was only temporary, he was more happy in his heart, because he felt that someone could finally take his place to help Akagi Goken fulfill his dream of dominating the country.

……

"Sakuragi Hanamichi, that guy can't be oversleeping, right?" Mito Yohei couldn't see Sakuragi Hanamichi, and there was a feeling of schadenfreude in his heart

"Not necessarily! Maybe so! Gao Gongwang also smiled wickedly.

"Haha...... That confused guy, wait a minute, when he comes, he won't be scolded to death by the gorilla and fierce k! Noma Tadaichiro and Yuji Ohsumi also smiled and laughed, looking like they were eager for Sakuragi Hanamichi to be beaten.

……

"Gaga...... Finally arrived! The timing is just right! Haruko Akagi came to the gymnasium of Lingnan High School in a delicate civilian dress today.

"Really! It's all because you are slow and methodical that we have to run with you! Matsui reproached Haruko Akagi.

"Ugh! You say so again! Haruko Akagi said with a blushing face.

"Ah...... A lot of people have already come to watch the game! Fujii looked around and couldn't help but say.

"It seems that almost all of them are from Lingnan." Matsui is also looking around.

"That's right!" But Akagi Haruko immediately saw the personnel from Xiangbei, "Ah! But there are also people from Xiangbei! ”

In the distance, Rukawa Kaede's personal guards were wearing cheerleading costumes, frantically doing all kinds of actions, and shouting: "Rukawa-san!! Rukawa-san......"

Looking at their crazy appearance, the three of them couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Haruko, don't you learn from them!" Matsui couldn't help but say to Haruko Akagi.

"How could I possibly learn from them!!" Haruko Akagi said with a little blushing and a weak heart, because she thought of Sakuragi Hanamichi's handsome figure in her heart.

"It's hard to say! Someone like you ......," Fujii said, pointing at Haruko Akagi in disbelief.

"Hmph......" Haruko Akagi puffed out her bun face and was angry.

……

"Beep!" The referee's whistle blows in the middle of the field, announcing that the game is about to begin!

As the basketball slowly fell, Akagi Gangxian and Yuzumi Jun jumped up at the same time, and both sides came into contact with the basketball at the same time, because Akagi Gangxian's strength was relatively large, so the ball fell to the side of Xiangbei.

"But when you jump the ball, you're evenly matched!! Last year, Akagi's seniors will definitely win! Inoue felt a little incredible.

"Does that mean that Yuzhu is no longer what it used to be?" Satoru Tsunoda was also a little worried.

Yu Zhuchun yelled at the players in Xiangbei: "Xiangbei!! Let's let the horses come!! ”

His roar really scared Yasuda Yasuharu and Shiozaki Tetsushi.

"Yuzumi's seniors are full of fighting spirit!!" Hikoichi Aida said excitedly.

……

Xiangbei began to attack, point guard Yasuda Yasuharu took the ball, quickly passed the half court and was about to take it to the three-point line, but he was not careful, and the basketball in his hand was robbed by the Lingnan player Zhiyu Uekusa, who defended him, and the speed was so fast that even Yasuda Yasuharu couldn't react.

Off the field, Lingnan coach Shigeru Tian Oka covered his chin and thought to himself: "Well, the defensive town in Xiangbei is really weak!" Although they joined Rukawa Kaede from Fugaoka Middle School, they are only first-year students after all, and it seems that this year they still have to rely on Akagi alone to support the overall situation. Hehe, Mr. Mitsuyoshi Anzai, it seems that this victory belongs to me again!! Also, Lingnan will definitely be promoted to the national competition this year!! ”

……

The basketball passed to Akira Sendo, and Rukawa Kaede immediately stepped forward to defend.

Xiandao Akira took the ball, did not look around, but stared at Rukawa Kaede, but then casually threw the basketball to the right, and the basketball came to Ikegami's hand unimpeded, and he rubbed against his opponent who was defending him before he could react, and immediately threw a shot.

"Huh!" The basketball hollow into the net, Lingnan pair scored first.

……

"Oops, I was shot by the other party!! However, it's amazing! Haruko Akagi stood on the second floor and said absent-mindedly, her eyes looking for something on the court, and she thought to herself: What about Sakuragi? Why didn't you see him? Hasn't he come yet? No way!

"Although Lingnan's 7 good is only responsible for passing, it has caused a sensation in the audience!! Haruko, who is that 7 good? Fujii looked at the sensational scene and couldn't help but ask Haruko Akagi.

"Huh? Oh, that guy? He is Lingnan's ace, the predecessor of the Immortal Dao!! Last year he was still a first-year student, but we were completely overwhelmed by him. My brother said that he had never met such a good player, and even my brother, who has always been strict, said the same, proving that he is a rather not simple person!! Haruko Akagi came back to her senses and explained to Fujii and Matsui.

……

This time, Xiangbei smoothly brought the ball to the half court of the Lingnan team, Yasuda Yasuharu passed the ball to Akagi Goken on the inside, and as soon as Akagi Goken took the ball, he heard the provocative voice of Uzumi Jun: "Come on, Akagi!" ”

Akagi Gangxian glanced at Yuzumi Jun, and instead passed the ball to Mu Du Gongyan, who was temporarily undefended, Mu Du Gongyan took the ball and immediately made a jump shot, but he sent the basketball out of his palm, and Yu Sumi Jun left Akagi Gangxian and came to Mu Du Gongyan to jump directly, and roared angrily, "Don't succeed!" "Just shoot the basketball down.

Immediately, the atmosphere of the audience was high!

Rukawa Kaede shook off Xiandao Zhang, and then the basketball that was slapped away, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in front of him, and he didn't want to make a jump shot directly, but the basketball thrown out was also shot away by the explosive Yuzumi Jun.

The atmosphere of the audience rose again, and the onlookers kept shouting.

This time, it was Tetsushi Shiozaki, a member of Xiangbei, who got the basketball that flew away, and he passed the basketball smoothly to the hands of Akagi Gangxian with a high pass.

After Akagi Tsuyoshi took the basketball, he turned around and made a jump shot directly, but before the ball could be shot, it was slapped away by the already prepared Yusumi Jun.

This time, the atmosphere of the audience has skyrocketed to its peak.

"Come on, Lingnan!!"

"Immortal Dao senior!!"

"Fish live!!"

"Defend! Defend! Defend! Defend!! ”

Yasuda Yasuharu held the basketball in his hand, looking ahead but didn't know how to pass the ball, because Akagi Goken and Rukawa Kaede were both blocked by the Lingnan team, and the players of the Lingnan team moved faster than the rest of the personnel, Yasuda Yasuharu couldn't shake off the opponent's defense at all. Moreover, the Xiangbei team also lost its momentum because of the interception method of Yuzhujun, so that Xiangbei had lost a line in his heart.

Seeing that it was about to be violated in 30 seconds, Rukawa Kaede immediately asked Yasuda Yasuharu for the ball, and he planned to duel it out with Uzumi Jun in the middle.

But Yasuda Yasuharu's pass was intercepted by Xiandao Zhang, who intercepted the ball Xiandao Zhang, took the ball quickly through the half court of Xiangbei, came to the basket, a stride jumped, and the Liuchuan Feng who chased after him saw this and immediately jumped, stretched out his hands to block Xiandao Zhang's layup, but Xiandao Zhang didn't look at the ball and threw it directly back, the basketball accurately fell into the hands of his teammate off-road Hongming, he directly made a layup, so that Rukawa Feng in mid-air had no way to stop it, and off-road Hongming made a successful layup.

The audience was boiling again.

In the next game, every attack of Xiangbei ended without a problem because Akagi Gangxian and Rukawa Kaede were blocked by Lingnan, and the Lingnan team frequently succeeded due to the assistance of Xiandao Zhang, and because of this, it played a 19:0 **.

And the coach of the Lingnan team, Shigeichi Taoka, even opened his mouth and said that he would leave the Xiangbei team by 30 points.

The momentum of the Xiangbei team has plummeted.

Haruko Akagi was worried on the second floor, and kept praying in her heart that Sakuragi Hanamichi would come out soon and come to relieve the crisis of the Xiangbei team.

"Smack!" At this moment, the door of the gymnasium was opened, and a figure panting across a sports backpack appeared in front of everyone......
