Chapter 44: Lingnan VS Buri
"It's our turn!"
As Coach Taoka gave the order, he led the players through the players' tunnel to the field.
The Xiangbei players had already packed their things, they looked dejected, and they were preparing to leave at the moment.
"Coach Anthy!"
Coach Taoka is still full of respect for Coach Anzai.
"Oh, hehe, it's Coach Taoka, you have to come on for this game!"
Coach Anzai let out his trademark laugh and shook hands with Coach Taoka.
"Buri is strong, but we're not weak either!"
This year's Lingnan is unprecedentedly strong, and Coach Taoka is full of confidence in it.
On the other side, Akagi Gangxian came to Uoju, and said angrily: "Uoju, don't you be defeated by Watanabe Masao, I'm still waiting to defeat you."
"Don't worry, Akagi, one-on-one, I'm confident that I can defeat him."
"I hope so!"
Akagi Tsuyoshi said so, but he didn't seem to have much confidence in Yuzumi.
"Yuzumi, Akagi and I will cheer you on!"
Even if he lost the game, Mitsui still did not lose his fighting spirit.
"Thank you then."
Soon, coach Buri led the Buri players to appear.
The two coaches greeted each other enthusiastically, but behind the scenes, they were secretly vigilant.
At the same time, players from both sides were also looking at each other.
Uozumi's eyes fall on the Watanabe brothers, who will be his main opponent today, and whether he can become Kanagawa's chief center will depend on the performance of this match.
The Watanabe brothers' eyes also fell on Uozumi, and Watanabe Masao's expression was more solemn than ever, if nothing else, this would be the biggest challenge he faced.
If you win, you will keep the face of the chief center, and if you lose, you will retire and give way, becoming a stepping stone for Yuzhu.
Masaysu Watanabe knew his brother very well, and couldn't help but say: "Brother, his skills are rough, as long as you can carry him head-on, I believe you will win the final victory."
"You're right! However, if he can't bear it, then the two of us will go together, and I don't believe that he can still take advantage of our brothers' cooperation. ”
This year is Masao Watanabe's third year and his last chance of the year, even if he doesn't want to be embarrassed, he doesn't want to leave regrets, and he must win the ticket to the national competition this year.
In the stands, the spectators came and went, and among them, most of the alternative players of the Xiangyang team left and were filled by other spectators.
The Xiangyang team did not leave and went straight to the stands.
Then, they met Tsukutake, who had just arrived.
Tsuhisa played in another gymnasium, where they had a thrilling victory over Minowa University to advance to the joint finals.
The captains of the two teams greeted each other in a seemingly friendly manner, and then pulled away to watch the rest of the game.
Taro Aso looked at the two teams below and asked, "Who do you think can be Kanagawa's chief center?"
"Although Lingnan center Yuzhu has been in the limelight recently, his lack of game experience and single means of attack, I don't think he is a match for Masao Watanabe."
"I'm also optimistic about Masao Watanabe!"
……
The views of the Shoyang players are almost unanimous, and they are clearly more bullish on Masao Watanabe.
Taro Aso didn't express his opinion, he looked at Fujima who bowed his head and pondered and asked, "Fujima, what about you?"
Fujima held his chin and said, "I think anything is possible!" Although Masao Watanabe is strong, Yuzumi is not without opportunities. Also, I've watched the Uozumi game, and he seems to have reservations. ”
"Whether he has reservations or not, he's going to have to give it his all in this game. This year's prefectural tournament is very competitive, and no matter who wins or loses, we have to be prepared. ”
From beginning to end, Aso did not express his opinion.
At this moment, in the audience, Haruko Akagi is sitting with Fujii and Matsui.
"Haruko, your brother's game is over, are we going to keep watching?"
It was Fujii who spoke.
"It's a game in Lingnan next, and I'll regret it if I don't watch it. I regret it now, I didn't go to watch Lingnan's game last time, I missed a big drama in vain, and I have to stay this time. ”
Haruko Akagi had a look of chagrin, she had heard her brother Akagi Goken say that Yuju was the highlight of that game.
Thinking of missing the picture of Yuzhu smashing the rebound and tearing off the basket, Haruko Akagi regretted it very much, why didn't she stay after watching her brother's game at that time.
"Okay, then we'll stay and hopefully it's going to be a good game."
Seeing Haruko like this, Fujii and Matsui also had to stay.
It didn't take long for the audience to fill up and various banners appeared, including banners cheering for Uozumi Sakae and Uozumi Don.
Since Yuzhu became famous, the business of Yuzhu Restaurant has become more and more prosperous, especially among Lingnan students.
After the day before yesterday, Yuzhu made a series of feats, and the Yuzhu restaurant naturally followed the tide, which is simply a free advertisement.
It didn't take long to wait, and at the referee's signal, the game was about to start.
Both sides sent their starters.
Lingnan is still Uozumi, Inoue Toyoji, Sasaki Oribe, Yusaku Ozawa and Matsushita Asahi Ken.
Buri High School
Center: Masao Watanabe, 196 cm, 88 kg, 3rd grade.
Power forward: Masayasu Watanabe, 194 cm, 82 kg, third grade.
Small forward: Kazuo Imamura, 182 cm, weight 73 kg, first grade.
Shooting guard: Araki Yuki, 177 cm, 70 kg, third grade.
Point guard: Koichiro Nohara, 172 cm, 78 kg, sophomore.
In terms of overall height, there is not much difference between the two sides.
Honk~
The referee blew the whistle and signaled for both players to get ready.
Meanwhile, Uozi and Masao Watanabe are standing in the center circle, they are looking at each other, ready to jump balls.
The next moment, the referee threw the basketball in his hand into the air.
When the basketball began to fall, the two jumped in unison.
Syllable~
The bounce of the two is about the same, but Yuzhu is coming higher, taking advantage of his height and arm span, Yuzhu took the lead in slapping the basketball to Panasonic Xujian.
As soon as he received the basketball, Panasonic Xujian immediately held the ball and passed the half.
He stared at his opponent, Koichiro Nohara, and his head was reminiscent of information about him.
Unlike Matsushita Asahi Ken, Koichiro Nohara is on the fat side and is a heavy point guard, but he is not slow and has good organizational skills.
While Matsushita Asahi was observing, Uozi was wrestling with Masao Watanabe.
"That's a lot of strength!"
This was Masao Watanabe's first impression, and although he knew that Uozumi's strength was great, he was still a little surprised.
Masao Watanabe reluctantly pushed Usumi and didn't let Usumi enter the restricted area at all.
