As Sakuragi continued to exert force on the defensive end and scored five points in a row, the Xiangbei team began to gain momentum, and the momentum was significantly better than before.

One after another, the momentum of the Xiangyang team was obviously suppressed.

Fuji Zhen's expression became more and more solemn, and he knew very well that he had to score in the next round, otherwise it would be even more unfavorable to the Xiangyang team.

The Xiangyang team served quickly again, and Fujima quickly held the ball through the half.

In the face of Mitsui's defense, Fujima called for a block again.

Mitsui subconsciously distracted some of his attention, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Hanagata running towards him.

However, before the flower shape could be put into place, Fujima jumped up suddenly.

Mitsui took a beat slower and hurriedly jumped to intercept.

This time, Fujima once again played his best game, throwing the ball out before he could rise to the top, again with his left hand.

The shooting style and rhythm like this are not ordinary difficult to prevent, especially Mitsui is a beat slower.

Swish~

Seeing the basketball hit the net, Fuji Zhen couldn't help but shake his fist excitedly, greatly excited.

The Xiangyang players were also relieved, and their momentum rebounded.

"This way of shooting is really hard to defend!"

Looking at Fuji Zhen's figure, Mitsui couldn't help but shake his head.

As the country's No. 1 marksman, Mitsui naturally shoots like this, but he is not left-handed, he can only use his right hand, and the shooting rate cannot be guaranteed with his left hand.

Soon, Xiangbei serves.

"Sakuragi!"

This time, Mitsui rarely hoisted the ball to Sakuragi.

Sakuragi is a bit incredible, in the past, he took the initiative to ask for teammates to pass it on to him, and he didn't necessarily pass it on.

Now it's a good thing, Mitsui actually took the initiative to pass the ball to him, and he was shocked and almost stolen by Kishimoto.

"Little San, what are you doing!"

Sakuragi guards the ball with both hands and makes a protest sound.

"Big fool, don't give it to me!"

Not far away, Rukawa Kaede couldn't help but complain.

"Dead fox, think beautifully!"

As Sakuragi spoke, he began to hit Kishimoto with his back.

I have to say that Sakuragi, who came into contact with basketball two years in advance, although he fished for three days and dried nets for two days, he also learned to play back, and backplay is one of the most common ways for him to score in junior high school games.

Of course, his back beating is not very standard, and it belongs to the means that he has not mastered the trick.

Even so, with Sakuragi's exaggerated physical fitness, most of the players are helpless.

Kishimoto has good physical fitness, but his offense is high and his defense is low, and the key is that he has never been off the field, and he is already panting like a cow at this time.

Compared to Kishimoto, Sakuragi feels like he has just finished warming up, except for sweating profusely, that is, panting slightly, which is in stark contrast to Kishimoto.

"This guy is a cattle!"

Kishimoto was powerless to complain, and he was full of energy to prevent this ball.

Bang ~ bang ~ bang ~

Sakuragi hit Kishimoto with no fancy back, and Kishimoto tried his best to resist, but the center of gravity still couldn't stop changing.

It was also at this time that Sakuragi turned around according to the experience taught by Akagi, and Kishimoto, who passed easily, strode into the restricted area, which was a tomahawk-style dunk.

Bang dang~

Sakuragi pressed Kishimoto hard and easily scored two points.

Kishimoto held his waist and looked helplessly at Sakuragi, who was holding the basket, worrying about how to defend in the back.

The Xiangyang team's offense was slightly weak, this time Nan Lie threw a little urgently, the strength was small, the basketball knocked on the front of the basket, and almost threw a three-pointer.

"Mine!"

Sakuragi pressed Hanagata and Kishimoto again, successfully protected the rebound, and passed the ball to Mitsui.

Soon, Mitsui passed the ball to Sakuragi again.

Boom~

Sakuragi continued to hit Kishimoto with his back.

Suddenly, Nanyeol, who was the closest, rushed up and wanted to wrap Sakuragi with Kishimoto.

Not far away, Rukawa Kaede immediately pulled to the side.

For the first time, Sakuragi jumped up and used his super bounce to gain vision.

In mid-air, Sakuragi smoothly passed the ball to Rukawa Kaede, who hit a mid-range shot.

Rukawa Kaede wiped his sweat and high-fived each other with Sakuragi, all without saying a word.

The tacit understanding between the two is not ordinarily high, and it feels like they have been working together for several years.

The two have been competing since the second country, and they see each other as rivals and have a deep understanding.

Sure enough, it's always your opponent who knows you best.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Fuji Zhen looked serious, if he continued like this, Xiangyang was afraid that it would be over.

It's just that it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Fuji Zhen really can't think of a way.

On the Xiangyang bench, Coach Kitano is also meditating.

Substitution?

The five people on the field are already the best players in Xiangyang, even if they are replaced with players with full physical strength, the effect is not necessarily better.

To be honest, at this point, the method that should have been used has long been used, and he can only hope that the players can strengthen their will and defeat Xiangbei.

The Xiangyang team was tenacious and not defeated by a few setbacks.

In this round of attack, Fujima used the blocking and dismantling of the flower shape to hit a mid-range shot with a stop-and-go jump shot.

Whew~

Fuji Zhen was tired and panting, he had to organize the attack, score again, and defend Mitsui, which was really difficult for him.

When it was time for Xiangbei to attack, Mitsui held the ball past half court and made the action of passing the ball to Sakuragi again.

Fujima subconsciously moved his center of gravity, but Mitsui did not pass the ball, but faked the flick and broke through the opponent in one step, and after attracting Hanagata's defense, he threw the ball directly to the basket.

Bang dang~

Akagi relayed a slam dunk in the air and scored two points for Xiangbei.

In the following time, the Xiangyang team set off a counterattack.

However, they can't prevent Sakuragi at all.

Sakuragi has repeatedly singled Kishimoto and scored almost 20.

For Sakuragi, it is rare to score more than 20 points.

On the defensive end, Sakuragi ran even more relentlessly, which brought a lot of trouble to Xiangyang.

What made Xiangyang desperate the most was that in the last minute, Mitsui shot at Fuji Zhen and won 3+1.

For this goal, Mitsui originally wanted to make a free throw, but he was lucky enough to throw it in.

With this 3+1 hit, the morale of the Xiangyang team can be said to have plummeted, especially the difference between the two sides has just reached double digits.

With less than a minute left, don't think about it unless you replicate the Miller moment.

Fujima still did not give up hope and continued to lead the team to chase points.

Soon, the sound of the end of the game resounded throughout the audience.

Fujima stopped and stared at the electronic screen lonely.

The rest of the Xiangyang players were in a bad mood, and there were even players who couldn't hold back their emotions and burst into tears.

They lost, lost to Xiangbei again, and lost hope of advancing to the finals.

"We won!"

The people in Xiangbei cheered loudly, which meant that they and Lingnan successfully met in the finals of the national competition, and they were only one step away from dominating the country.
