The first half of the game between Xiangbei High School and Lingnan High School lasted for 17 minutes and 30 seconds.

The score of the two teams came to 39:43, and Xiangbei High School held a four-point lead, not only that, but Jinguji Martial Arts successfully deceived a foul from Xiandao after investing in a three-point shot.

At this moment, Jinguji Martial Arts was already standing on the free throw line.

The referee gave the ball to Jinguji Martial Arts, who moved his shoulder and neck, took the ball and dribbled on the spot, and then shot directly. Jinguji Martial Arts' mid-range shot was very accurate, and the front of the basketball hollowed into the net with a crisp sound.

At the moment of the goal, the supporters of Xiangbei began to cheer, and at the same time, the scoreboard on the sidelines jumped, and the score of the two teams came to 39:44, and the difference came to 5 points.

The disadvantage that was just eliminated by Lingnan High School was almost eliminated, and with the martial arts of Jinguji Temple playing 3+1, it was once again pulled to the level of three goals by Xiangbei.

A 4-point difference and a 4-point difference give people a different feeling.

With only two and a half minutes left in the first half, Shinomiya Tianye glanced at the scoreboard and silently ran towards the front.

Lingnan's goal in the first half was to erase the disadvantage, preferably, and to be able to take some lead and take the lead into the second half.

Sinomiya Tianye can also be regarded as seeing the situation on the court clearly, and he has no expectations at all for completely blocking Xiangbei's attack, and his mind is now full of wanting to seal the martial arts of Jinguji Temple and can't get the ball.

Shinomiya Tianye knew that as long as he could do such a thing, Xiangbei's offensive would suddenly decline!

"The growth of the martial arts of Jingu Temple over the years is really quite large, and the ability to fight physically has also come up."

"Although I can still break through him, the strength required and the physical energy required are not at the same level as before."

"The game has been going on until now, and the hit rate of Jinguji Martial Arts has not decreased in the slightest due to the fierce physical confrontation, this guy is getting more and more terrifying."

Shinomiya Tianye trotted into the front court, and when he was close to the three-point line, Shinomiya Tianno looked at Jinguji Takemichi, who was defending near the three-point line, and said secretly in his heart.

By now that the game had progressed, Shinomiya Field's jersey had already been soaked with sweat, and fine sweat was oozing from his forehead, sliding down his cheeks and down his chin. Shinomiya glanced sideways at Fujima's position, grabbed the collar of his jersey with one hand and wiped the sweat from his jaw.

Then, when Jinguji Martial Way came up to defend, he swayed without the ball, and after a right-sided feint, he quickly seized the gap and drilled through the defense of Jinguji Martial Way and cut into the inside.

"This guy!" Shinomiya Tianye's speed was very fast, and at the moment when he cut into the air, Fujima, who was holding the ball on the outside, directly hoisted the ball into the inside.

Shinomiya Tano successfully received the ball in the middle distance, and at the moment when he got the ball, the figure of Jinguji Martial Arts had already bypassed him and came to him. Shinomiya Field quickly dropped the ball sideways, and his body smashed the body of Jinguji Martial Arts, and after pushing Jinguji Martial Arts back, Shinomiya Tianye shot directly at the basket with a small hook hand.

The basketball hit the board at a 45° angle and entered the net, making a crisp sound.

The sideline scoreboard jumped, and the score between the two teams came to 41:44, and the difference was reduced to three points.

"Beautiful! Field! ”

"Good vote!"

"Good biography, Fujima."

The four palace fields that scored the goal left the inner line of Xiangbei in the encouragement of Xiandao and Fuji Zhen and began to run towards the front court, and the four palace fields and Xiandao and Fuji Zhen high-fived and celebrated successively, and gave Fuji Zhen a thumbs up.

The harmonious team atmosphere doesn't feel like they are on the side behind Lingnan at all.

The difference with Xiangbei is that although Lingnan is the backward side, the pressure on the players is much less than that of Xiangbei. Every time they score a goal, the players can see the difference narrowed, and the thrill of chasing points stimulates each of them.

Chasing this kind of imminent goal can completely mobilize the enthusiasm of the players.

On the other hand, Xiangbei, every goal in Lingnan is a blow to Xiangbei, and the young Sakuragi saw the opponent's goal, covering his head and screaming in annoyance.

Although it is just an inconsequential complaint, this kind of emotion will inevitably affect the morale of the team.

"This kind of pressure to be chased is too great, no matter how strong the willpower of the players in Xiangbei is, they are just high school students after all."

"Even if you don't catch up in the first half, it doesn't matter, as long as you bite the score, Xiangbei will collapse on its own."

Coach Taoka glanced at the scoreboard and a smile appeared on his face. Although the team is behind, Coach Taoka is not in a hurry at all, and the first half is not over yet, what is the difference between this point difference and nothing?

However, the Xiangbei players will accelerate the consumption of physical energy because of the pressure, and if this snowball rolls down, the main force of Xiangbei will collapse in the second half after not long.

Coach Ogaoka is quite satisfied with the current situation.

In the middle of the court, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had always been very focused, began to be a little distracted, not only him, but Akagi, who had been running back and forth with the team, was now starting to become a little chaotic.

Jinguji Martial Arts and Mitsui Shou are still in the same state, and Rukawa Kaede is even more silent after seeing Jinguji Martial Arts play 3+1, and the whole person exudes low pressure, at this time, seeing Sinomiya Tianye bringing the score closer, the desire to attack in his eyes became more vigorous.

Jinguji Takemichi sensed the emotions of Akagi Goken and Sakuragi, but he ignored Rukawa Kaede's ambitions.

Between the alternation of offense and defense, Rukawa Kaede had already entered the front court with the ball, and Jinguji Martial Arts had his back against the four palaces and reached out to ask for the ball. However, in the face of Jinguji Martial Arts' ball, Rukawa Kaede did not choose to play the ball at the first time.

This also gave Shinomiya Tianye time to react, and his body pressed directly against the body of Jinguji Martial Dao, and his right arm directly blocked Martial Dao's eyes.

In the face of Shinomiya Field's aggressive defense, Jinguji Martial Arts could only turn without the ball to vent his strength, and then quickly bypass Shinomiya Field and cut into the inside line, quickly running back when Shinomiya Field's pursuit came up, and at the same time put his hands on his chest, ready to catch the ball.

However, just when the martial arts of Jinguji Temple ran into the air, Rukawa Kaede directly threw the ball after a breakthrough feint, and pulled out his hand directly in front of Fujima.

Against Fuji Zhen, Rukawa Kaede still has some advantages, and the defender's Fuji Zhen's attention is also drawn by the Jingu Temple Martial Arts who ran out of the vacant position. Faced with Rukawa Kaede's feint to pull out, Fuji Zhen didn't react at all.

"Huh!"

Kaede Rukawa's shot hits the basket directly. And his goal also made everyone in Lingnan under the field exclaim.

"What ?!!!"

"This guy voted for himself again?!"

"Three-pointer, three-pointer?

At the same time that the Lingnan benches exclaimed, there was also a "buzzing" discussion in the stands, and obviously, Rukawa Kaede's sudden three-point shot surprised everyone. And what surprised them even more was that Rukawa Kaede not only dared to vote, but was also able to throw.

This first-year student in Xiangbei seems to really plan to pass this competition to get on the top!

When I played, I completely ignored the trump card of Jinguji Martial Arts!

"Hey, hey, it's really fake, you first-year seem to be planning to replace you, martial arts."

"Don't you bother with asking for the ball, aren't you angry?"

"It's not me who provokes trouble, if we were in Lingnan, such a player, I would have asked the coach to invite him to sit on the bench."

When Shinomiya Tianye saw Rukawa Kaede score a three-point shot, not only did he not have any unpleasantness, but walked in front of Martial Arts as if he was watching a good show, and said with a smile.

In his opinion, anyone in Xiangbei can attack, as long as it is not a martial arts attack by Jingu Temple.

As for Kaede Rukawa in the first grade? Maybe with Fujima defending it, he can score a few goals once in a while, but so what? Rukawa Kaede's offensive efficiency is still not as good as Jinguji Martial Arts, if Xiangbei is controlled by Rukawa Kaede, Shinomiya Tianye will be very happy!

"So what? The result was that the ball went in, and our team's first year didn't play very well, right? ”

"Don't be jealous, Tian Ye, I know you don't have an outstanding first year in Lingnan."

"This year, your Lingnan will lose to our Xiangbei, and it will be the same next year!"

Martial Arts didn't care at all about Sinomiya Field's "sowing discord". Although Rukawa Kaede's actions were indeed a bit unexpected by him, competitive sports only talk about success or failure.

If it is reasonable or unreasonable, as long as you can win, who cares if you are reasonable or not?

If Rukawa Kaede can really prove that his offensive efficiency is stronger than his own, and his personal ability is better than his own, then Martial Arts will only improve himself wildly under the arena, and when it comes to the arena, Martial Arts has only one goal, and that is to win!

"Well, what you said is right, we Lingnan really don't have any outstanding first-year students this year, but there is one sentence you said wrong, this year, it is still us Lingnan who wins!"

After Shinomiya Tianye finished speaking, he raised his steps and ran towards the front court. When Wu Dao heard this, he also chuckled, quickly crossed the four palace fields, and returned to his half-court defense early.

It didn't take long for Fujima to take the ball from the backcourt into the front court, and after a block, Fujima quickly broke through, and when he met Sakuragi Hanamichi to make up for the defense, he turned around, and at the same time passed the ball out in reverse, and the basketball smashed at Sakuragi's feet and flew into the inside.

The flower shape under the basket took the ball, directly forced the dunk, and helped Lingnan High School get back two points.

At 43:47, there was only one and a half minutes left until the end of the first half.

In the round of Xiangbei's attack, Rukawa Kaede realized that time was running out and began to deliberately suppress the offensive rhythm.

The calm handling method surprised everyone in Lingnan, because the feeling that Rukawa Kaede gave them before was that he was a sharp-edged and ambitious first-year point guard.

Wu Dao saw that Rukawa Kaede took the initiative to suppress the offensive rhythm, and he was secretly relieved in his heart, he was not afraid that Rukawa Kaede would fight by himself, he was afraid that Rukawa Kaede would fight by himself without brains.

Fortunately, Rukawa Kaede is still conscious.

The people in Lingnan saw that Xiangbei began to press the rhythm, but the defense line did not dare to expand easily, there was no way, several outside players of Xiangbei High School had excellent projection ability, and if the defense line was too wide, it would be impossible to prevent Xiangbei.

Therefore, after crossing the midline, Rukawa Kaede was able to easily carry the ball and press in front of the midline, quietly waiting for the passage of time.

Fuji Zhen didn't rush up to press, his physical fitness was not as good as Rukawa Kaede, that kind of position pressing was meaningless, and he would only be forced by Rukawa Kaede to seize the opportunity.

More than ten seconds passed, and Rukawa Kaede finally made a move, and while quickly dribbling the ball to the three-point line, he actually made a blocking gesture towards his teammates on the side. Wu Dao did not hesitate, directly broke away from the defense line of the four palaces, quickly ran towards Rukawa Kaede, stood on the left side of Fujima, and made a block.

However, the blocking and dismantling of the martial arts is not of much effect on Rukawa Kaede, because the four palace fields are behind the martial arts of Jinguji Temple, and if Rukawa Kaede breaks through, he will encounter the supplementary defense and pursuit of the four palace fields.

However, in this way, the martial arts have a chance to dislocate and fight small.

After the martial arts block was in place, Rukawa Kaede didn't seem to notice this, and directly rushed in the defensive direction of the four palace fields, the four palace fields looked slightly condensed, looked at Rukawa Kaede deeply, did not go to make up for the defense, and directly let it go.

He didn't want Martial Dao to have this kind of misplaced opportunity to fight small!

Rukawa Kaede, who broke through smoothly, quickly met Yuzumi's defense near the free throw line, Rukawa Kaede quickly stopped and closed the ball, took the ball with both hands and shook it towards Akagi in the empty position of the inside line, and successfully made Yuzhu turn his head to look at Akagi, and in the next second when the opponent's attention was distracted, Rukawa Kaede jumped on the spot and threw the ball out.

The basketball hit the front board and bounced back into the net.

Rukawa Kaede clenched his fists slightly, and then turned around to quickly return to defense.

At 43:49, the difference was stretched to 6 points, and Rukawa Kaede successively crossed Fujima and Shinomiya Tianye, and under the defense of Uozumi, he once again made a single contribution.

Rukawa Kaede's re-entry was successful, making the spectators who didn't see Rukawa Kaede very much in the stands exclaimed. Everyone didn't expect that at the last moment of the first half of the game, Rukawa Kaede from Xiangbei High School actually played such an amazing performance.

Everyone thought that the last two minutes would be a contest between Jinguji Martial Arts and Shinomiya Tianye, but they didn't expect that the person who danced solo on the stage was actually a first-year player.

It was only at this time that Shinomiya Tianye glanced at the back of Rukawa Kaede's defense, and there was a slight surprise between his eyebrows.

Shinomiya Tianye's surprised expression was seen by Jinguji Martial Dao, looking at Shinomiya Tianye, who was a little surprised, Martial Arts smiled and said:

"How?"

"You were surprised by his performance, didn't he?"

"We in Xiangbei have never been a one-man team."

"Compared to our Xiangbei, there is a huge hole in your defense line in Lingnan, and the game has been played so far, you should be aware of it."

"Shinomiya Field."

After Wu Dao finished speaking, he turned around and quickly returned to the field. And Shinomiya Tianye couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and turned his head to look at Fuji Zhen, who went to the bottom line to catch the ball at this time.

The defensive loopholes mentioned by Jinguji Martial Arts refer to Fujima!

In high-level competitions, the height of the players is very important.

If it's an ordinary opponent, an excellent defender like Fujima who is less than 180cm is enough to deal with. Even, most of them are not Fujima's opponents.

But if the opponent is a tall defender like Rukawa Kaede who is close to 190cm tall, Fujima's physical fitness is really not enough.

Whether it is direct defense or switching defenses after blocking and dismantling, Fuji really exists, which makes Lingnan more difficult to play on the defensive end.

If this defensive weakness is not addressed, even if they can overtake the score in a short period of time, this lead will definitely not be carried to the end of the game.

"Fujima."

"Who would have thought that Fuji Zhen would actually become a weak point in our Lingnan defense?!"
