There were 23 seconds left until the end of the first half.

Xiangbei High School and Lingnan High School were 55:55 and were tied.

"I really can't let up for a moment."

"These guys from Lingnan.... Damn it! ”

Mitsui Shou ran quickly towards the backcourt, and at the same time, he looked at the Shinomiya Field, who had begun to return at this time, with a heavy heart.

"Press the time, hit the attack!"

Off the field, the substitute players of Xiangbei High School shouted loudly to give advice to the players on the field. Mitsui Shou They obviously know this, in order to be able to protect the ball well, Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Shou both came to the backcourt, after Mitsui Shou served, Rukawa Kaede pushed towards the front court with the ball.

Although Kamiichiro didn't receive the ball after returning to the court, he didn't immediately go to the Lingnan half, but protected Rukawa Kaede's side, and the three of them slowly advanced towards the front court together.

"Don't rush to press it!"

"Settle down to defend, put the defense line to the three-point line, don't let Xiangbei shoot three-pointers!"

"Steady! The pressure in Xiangbei is greater than yours! ”

As the players of Xiangbei High School brought the ball into the front court, a group of Lingnan players were ready to move, wanting to press up and put pressure on Xiangbei. But at this time, Coach Taoka was already standing on the sidelines, and Gao Sheng shouted towards the field.

And Coach Taoka's words also pulled the Lingnan players who were about to move, and under the watchful eye of Coach Taoka, the Lingnan players stabilized and stood in the half, and the defense line spread out from the inside to the three-point line.

After Mitsui Shou and the others entered the front court, Shinomiya Tianye and Sendo successively targeted Mitsui Shou and Rukawa Kaede.

Rukawa Kaede did not choose to pass the ball after entering the front court, and after a hurried glance at the time, he calmly changed hands in front of his body and dribbled alternately, while slowly approaching the three-point line.

Xiandao watched Rukawa Kaede slowly approaching, and did not lean forward, just stood half a step inside the three-point line, waiting for Rukawa Kaede to approach.

"Xiangbei High School is a team that relies on mid-range and three-point shooting, and the threat from the interior is average."

"After Jinguji Martial Arts went off the field, there were only two people who had the ability to attack with the ball, Mitsui Shou and Rukawa Kaede."

"Now it seems that the main attack should be the kid in front of you."

"This kid's style of play is the same as before, I really want to, if it were me, this ball, would break through!"

Xiandao stared at Rukawa Kaede, his arms outstretched, and he sank his center of gravity, ready to deal with the breakthrough.

10 seconds: 8 seconds...

When there were 6 seconds left in the time, Xiandao Tong Kong shrunk, and finally stopped waiting, took the initiative to take a step forward, and leaned on Rukawa Kaede's body with his body, just when he thought that Rukawa Kaede would start to break through, Rukawa Kaede, who had been holding the ball for a long time, suddenly stood up and passed the ball to the inside.

"Huh?!"

"Pass?!"

"How is that possible!"

Rukawa Kaede's choice was beyond everyone's expectations, and Rukawa Kaede's strong attack had just been engraved into everyone's minds, at this time, such a key ball, Rukawa Kaede actually chose to pass?!

"Huh?!" Not to mention that the players and spectators in Lingnan were surprised, and even Akagi Gangxian, who had just received the basketball on the inside, was a little stunned for a while.

Xiandao looked back and saw Akagi get the basketball, his surprised look flashed, and he was just about to turn his head to look at Rukawa Kaede when he found a red figure quickly passing by his side.

"Immortal Dao! The kid is in! ”

Yuzhu on the inside line saw Rukawa Kaede cutting without a ball, and immediately burst into a shout, and at the same time, his body also resisted Akagi Gangxian. At this time, Akagi had already reacted, and after a bombing of the ball, he turned around and held the ball high, and after deceiving Yuzhu's center of gravity, he took a step forward, and his body leaned on Yuzhu's body fiercely, and he was actually ready to beat Yuzhu.

Yuzumi, who had been deceived into raising his center of gravity, couldn't withstand Akagi's strong attack at all, so he took a step back and vacated his position.

Getting the gap, Akagi Tsuyoshi jumped up and wanted to make a layup. And at this moment, the flower shape on the side suddenly came to Akagi Gangxian's side, and slapped the basketball in Akagi's hand.

"What?!"

was blocked, Akagi was also shocked, and hurriedly turned his head to look.

However, Xiangbei was lucky, and the basketball that was covered by the flower happened to be caught in the hands of Rukawa Kaede, who rushed over.

The basketball started, Rukawa Kaede quickly dropped the ball and marched, and in the blink of an eye, he approached the basket, and at the same time, Rukawa Kaede raised his eyes and looked at the basket.

The immortal road chasing behind him, the fish and the flower not far away, at this time, the three of them looked at Rukawa Kaede together, and quickly surrounded Rukawa Kaede.

At the moment when the encirclement was about to be completed, Rukawa Kaede suddenly hit the ball to the ground.

"Huh?!"

I thought that Rukawa Kaede would shoot by himself in this position, but I didn't expect that Rukawa Kaede still chose to pass, and the target of the pass happened to be Akagi Gangxian, who was in the vacant position at this time.

Without the slightest hesitation, Akagi Tsuyoshi jumped up directly after a blast, dunked with both hands, and poured the ball into the net.

At the moment when the basketball enters the net, the watch stops.

There was a second left in the clock, and the score of the two teams came to 55:57, and Xiangbei High School led by two points.

At the last second, although Ling Nan made an attempt, after serving to Shinomiya Tianye, Shimiya Tianye threw the ball directly to the front court, but after the whistle fell, the basketball also smashed on the rebound and failed to bounce into the basket.

The score of the first half is frozen.

Before leaving the game, Lingnan's players set their eyes on Rukawa Kaede.

This first-grader, at the end of the first half of the game, made a big impression on them.

"Well done! Rukawa Kaede. ”

"I really didn't expect that you actually passed those two balls, and it really doesn't look like you! But it's a good fight. ”

"Your teammates have all been deceived by you, let alone your opponents."

"Played well, keep up in the second half!"

Rukawa Kaede who walked back to the rest area received unanimous praise from the Xiangbei team members, whether it was Akagi or Mitsui Shou, he praised Rukawa Kaede unsparingly. Coach Anzai also smiled hocchily, very satisfied with Rukawa Kaede's performance.

It's just that at this moment, the expressions of the three of Sakuragi Hanamichi, Kiyota Nobunaga and Nango Kuichiro are a little subtle.

"Shhhh It's just shit luck! Sakuragi pursed his lips, a little jealous in his disdain.

"Damn! If I play, I won't be worse than him! Kiyota Nobunaga was jealous with a little envy.

"Bastard, why didn't the coach send me on the field and let that red-haired one play! That guy only grabbed a few rebounds and handed out a few blocks! It's a waste of playing. ”

As for Nango Koichiro, it's pure jealousy, not only jealous of Rukawa Kaede, who has an amazing performance, but also jealous of the active Sakuragi Hanamichi.

"Akagi-senpai, how's your foot injury?! Do you want to take a break in the second half?! ”

After his eyes stayed on Rukawa Kaede's body for a while, Nango Koichiro ran to Akagi's side diligently, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.

Akagi thought that this junior really cared about him, shook his head with a smile, and said: "No, I don't have any offensive pressure, and on the Lingnan side, Yuzhu Chun doesn't have much ball-holding offense, so my load is actually not big." ”

"Twenty more minutes is no problem!"

Akagi Gangxian smiled, but when he heard this, Nango's face fell, he didn't want to hear this to ask Akagi!

"Well, the students performed very well in the first half."

"Keep the momentum going!"

"We don't have a lot of leads, so don't take it lightly."

Coach Anthy stood up, and after a word of encouragement, he led the players through the players' tunnel and towards the rest area where they were waiting.

There was nearly 20 minutes of halftime, and the players could take advantage of this time to rest and recover their strength.

...

"Bastard!"

"What do you all eat?! When Jinguji Martial Arts was present, the situation was still biased in our favor, why, on the contrary, he ended up and let the first grade in Xiangbei break through?! ”

"Could it be that that first-year is even more difficult to deal with than Jinguji Martial Arts?!"

"Huh?"

"Immortal Dao, you! Speak! ”

In the lounge of Lingnan High School, Coach Taoka was furious.

At the end of the first half, Lingnan's defensive performance really disappointed him. At this time, his anger was only directly aimed at the Immortal Dao who was responsible for defending Liuchuan Feng, and the tiger was slightly stunned, glaring at the Immortal Dao.

"Well~ Actually, the level of that first-grade is still good."

"Although it is not as sharp as the martial arts of Jinguji Temple, its strength is far beyond that of ordinary first-yearers."

"Besides, his luck is not bad, pick up...."

Xiandao was standing in front of Hikochi at this time, reached out and took out a slice of lemon from the food box in Hiko's hand, with a blank face, and said with a smile, but before he finished speaking, Coach Taoka directly interrupted with a roar.

"Immortals! Road! ”

Coach Taoka's roar frightened Xiandao, biting the lemon and covering his ears with a bitter face. Seeing the master and apprentice, Sinomiya Tianye also shook his head helplessly, sat on the bench and said:

"Well, coach, don't be angry just yet."

"Rukawa Kaede's balls do have some luck in it."

"However, Immortal Dao, others can say this, but you can't,"

"It was you who made Rukawa Kaede successfully catch that luck."

"When you're defending, are you distracted?"

Shinomiya Tianye knows Xiandao very well, and knows that if Xiandao's ability is preoccupied, it is impossible for Rukawa Kaede to pick up the rebound, in the end, it is still Xiandao distracted.

Hearing Sigong Tianye say this, Xiandao was really serious, nodded, and generously admitted:

"I thought he was the same as I was in first grade, but I was wrong."

'He's mature, mature and not like a first-year player.

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Xiandao's face again: "It's a very good first year, barely enough to be my opponent." ”

Xiandao's smile is calm and confident.

Seeing Xiandao like this, Coach Taoka's anger was completely gone, but he still maintained a serious appearance on his face, and snorted coldly:

"Then he'll leave it to you!"

After Coach Taoka finished speaking, he said to everyone:

"The first half is a foregone conclusion, and I won't talk about the extra nonsense."

'Everybody has to rest well and deal with the second half.'

"Field, in the second half of the game, if Jinguji Martial Arts doesn't appear, you can rest for a while."

"Soldier to soldier, general to general, Coach Anzai wants Mitsui Shou to consume your physical energy and let Jinguji Martial Arts execute you head-on, I won't let this happen!"

"Ikegami! You are the defensive expert of our Lingnan High School, in the second half, the first grade in Xiangbei, Liuchuan Feng will hand it over to you! ”

"As for the Immortal Dao... You go to guard against Mitsui Shou. ”

"If Jinguji Martial Arts is back on the field, make another plan!"

Hearing this, Xiandao waved his hand indifferently, and when Sinomiya Tianye heard Coach Taoka's arrangement, he frowned slightly, and he didn't say much, but he just came to Xiandao's side and instructed:

"That Mitsui Shou is not simple, that kind of upside down shot is fast, try to stick to it as closely as possible, and pay attention to the blocking and demolition of Xiangbei."

"If there is a gap, the opponent will shoot. The shooting threat is greater than his breakthrough. ”

Shinomiya Tano and Sendo exchanged their experience in defending Mitsui Shou, and Coach Taoka glanced at the two of them, ignoring the two of them, and continued towards Uozumi and Hanagata:

"If the field doesn't play at the beginning of the second half, you two insiders will have to take the corresponding responsibility for me."

"The attack doesn't just rely on Xiandao and Fujima, especially you, Hanagata, your projection is definitely a huge threat to Xiangbei."

"That Sakuragi Hanamichi bounce very well, find a way to pull him out of the inside line and shoot him, even if he doesn't go in, without his help, Yuju will definitely not lose to Akagi in the rebounding competition!"

"Got it?"

Listening to Coach Taoka's words, Hanagata and Yuzhu both nodded heavily and responded.

After making the adjustment, Coach Taoka said a few words of encouragement, and then stopped disturbing the players and let the players rest.

Unlike Coach Taoka's intervention, Xiangbei's lounge at this time seemed much quieter.

The players sat in various corners of the rest area, waiting for the game to start.

Coach Anzai didn't give any tactics to the players, but after a few words of praise, he signaled Takeshi to play after 5 minutes of the second half.

At the same time, Ryota Miyagi was not sent on again, and the lineup for the first half of the second half was the same as the lineup for the end of the first half, and as for Takemichi Jinguji, he would replace Katsumi Ichiro in the second half.

Although Coach Anzai did not arrange tactics, Takemichi understood what he meant, and planned to let Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Shou attack at the same time to assist Zuo Takemichi.

Miyagi Ryota didn't get a chance to play.,At this time, he's sitting by the window dullly.,Looking at the scenery outside the window.,I don't know what I'm thinking.,A melancholy look.,Even if it's Ayako calling him.,He didn't pay attention to Ayako.。

"Brother... I... I want to give up. ”

"Would you support me if you were here?!"

People tend to be cranky when they are depressed, and Ryota Miyagi is no surprise. Xiangbei is a good proof that even if the team does not have him, he will still play well, which Miyagi can understand. Even Miyagi felt that Xiangbei had become stronger without him.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of his brother in his mind, the brother who was gentle, loved him, and could never come back, and when he thought of this, Miyagi Ryota's eyes moistened again.

At the end of the day, he's just a high school student.

"Hey! Miyagi! What are you thinking? ”

At this moment, a big hand slapped on Miyagi's shoulder, and Jinguji Martial Arts came behind him at some point, followed Miyagi's line of sight, and looked out the window.

"Nothing." Miyagi Ryota turned his head to look at Takemichi, and then turned his head to look out the window.

Jinguji martial arts! That damn talent is on display in this guy!

"Liangtian, are you going to give up?"

Hearing Wu Dao's words, Miyagi Liangtian Tongkong shrank slightly, his face tightened, and then like a deflated ball, he bowed down and asked in a dull voice: "Are you going to laugh at me?" Talented. ”

There was even a strong resentment in Miyagi Ryota's tone, but this resentment was not directed at Martial Dao, but at himself.

"How is that possible?"

"When I was on the court before, I was still talking to Shinomiya Tano—"

"It's a very exciting thing for an untalented player to rely on his own efforts and compete with talented people."

"But, you seem to have made me get slapped in the face."

Hearing this, Miyagi shook his head with a wry smile. Wu Dao turned his head to look at his appearance and continued:

"The world of basketball, it's brutal, I knew it from the beginning."

"After I've been to the United States, I've become more aware of that."

"People, it's really hard to tell how much potential you have."

"Actually, most people, their level of effort, is not enough to fully develop their talents."

"For most people, the end of their life is actually the moment when they give up their efforts."

"I wouldn't say anything that as long as you work hard, you will get results."

"But Miyagi, if you don't work hard, you won't get results, and basketball is such a realistic sport."

...

"You, are you really at the end?!"

"I think it's still far from there!"
