Chapter 420: The Last Opponent, Affiliated with Hakata Business University!
The competition between Xiangbei High School and Lingnan High School finally came to an end, and finally Xiangbei won the game with a two-point advantage of 105:103 and successfully advanced to the final of the national competition.
After the game, Coach Tianoka took Lingnan's players into the players' tunnel and went to the rest area to pack their things, but when they went to the lounge, Lingnan's players were stopped by reporters.
"Coach Taoka! I'm a reporter for Sports Daily, can you give us an interview? ”
"Coach Taoka, Coach Taoka, please stay, please stay!"
A group of reporters blocked everyone in Lingnan like wolves, and several microphones went directly to Coach Taoka's mouth.
In the face of these reporters, Coach Taoka, who was already in an unhappy mood, calmed down after taking a few deep breaths in a row, squeezed out an ugly smile, and responded:
"I'm able to do an interview with you."
"But my team members are not very convenient, if you have any questions, if you want to know something, ask me."
As Coach Taoka spoke, he gave a look to the Lingnan team leader who was traveling with him, and waved his hand to signal the players to go first.
After hearing Coach Taoka's words, the reporters also nodded after their eyes stayed on several players behind Coach Taoka for a while.
"Coach Taoka, as last year's national hegemon, what do you think is the reason why Lingnan High School will lose to Xiangbei this time?"
"Lingnan's trump card, Sigong Tianye failed to stop the attack of Jinguji Martial Arts at the last moment, does this mean that Jinguji Martial Arts is better than Sinomiya Field?"
When a female reporter spoke, the microphone was already handed to Coach Taoka, and the camera behind the reporter was also quickly pointed at Coach Taoka.
"Huh?!"
Coach Taoka's face suddenly became gloomy when he heard these two questions. If the eyes can kill people, the reporter who asked this question has been killed by the gaze of Coach Taoka a thousand eight hundred times.
At this time, Shinomiya Tianye, who was walking to the lounge with his teammates, also stopped, turned his head to look at the reporter who was questioning.
The female reporter noticed that Shinomiya Tianye stopped and turned around, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
Coach Taoka took a deep breath, pulled his clothes, and said:
"Xiangbei High School is an excellent team."
"Our Lingnan and Xiangbei are both played by Kanagawa Prefecture, and we Lingnan are very clear about the ability of Xiangbei High School."
"This time we lost to Xiangbei High School, not because our Lingnan High School was not good enough, but because Xiangbei High School was good enough."
"In this national competition, if even our Lingnan can't stop Xiangbei High School, then no team can stop Xiangbei."
"As for the main reason for our defeat in Lingnan, it is not the problem of our players."
"The responsibility lies with me, and it is my on-the-spot command that has a problem."
"The two first-year students of Xiangbei High School have shown quite terrifying potential."
"Next year's Xiangbei will be even more terrifying than this year!"
After saying that, Coach Taoka nodded to the reporters, turned around and prepared to leave.
But the reporter obviously didn't get the answer he wanted, so he quickly grabbed Coach Taoka's arm and asked:
"Wait, please."
"Before, it was rumored that the Kanagawa twin stars were Shinomiya Tano-san, and Jinguji Martial Arts classmates, but now, is there a gap between the Kanagawa twin stars?"
The reporter didn't intend to let go of Coach Taoka at all, and kept asking.
Coach Taoka, who was pulled, frowned and looked at the reporter, his chest was full of anger, he grabbed the microphone and was about to curse, Shinomiya Tianye had already come to Coach Taoka's side.
Naturally, he took the microphone from Coach Taoka's hand and said:
"I'll answer that question."
"I think I'm supposed to have the most voice."
Seeing that Shinomiya Tian Ye took the microphone, the reporters' cameras were aimed at Sinomiya Tianye, and the female reporter also looked at Sinomiya Tian with an expectant face, expecting Sinomiya Tian to say something with its own explosive point.
"There is no doubt that Jinguji Martial Arts is the strongest opponent I have ever faced, and there is no one."
"To say that he is the number one high school student in the country, no one should object."
"Now I can't guard against him."
"But...... The road to basketball is very long, and he and I are only sophomores in high school. ”
"In the next few days, I will use my grades to prove that I am the strongest high school student in Shinomiya Field."
After speaking, Shinomiya nodded to the reporter who asked the question, handed back the microphone, and then turned around and walked to the lounge under the gaze of everyone.
Coach Taoka saw that Shinomiya Tianye was able to say these words calmly, and his anger calmed down a lot at this moment.
Pushed away several reporters gathered around him, followed the footsteps of Shinomiya Tianye, and walked towards the lounge.
After receiving this answer, the reporters did not catch up and ask anything, and after glancing at each other, they quickly left the place to prepare for the report.
As the overlord of last year's national competition, Lingnan High School's evaluation of Xiangbei High School is so high, from Lingnan to the coach and down to the players, no one uses words like "luck" and "luck" to seek solace for their failures.
But it was the attitude of Lingnan High School that made the reporters realize that Xiangbei High School was able to win because of its own hard power.
There are very few sports reporters in this era who are professional, especially this kind of female reporters, who still have a rather superficial understanding of basketball.
Just looking at Xiangbei High School until the last second of the game, some reporters who don't understand the ball will subconsciously think that Xiangbei can win by luck.
But only those who really understand the ball know what terrifying quality Xiangbei showed in the last one of the balls.
Jinguji Takemichi was able to control the ball, endure until the last second to shoot when the team was behind, and successfully scored the ball, such a terrifying psychological quality and personal ability have long exceeded the category of "high school students".
There is no doubt that Xiangbei, who won Lingnan High School, is very likely to be the next national overlord!
Just when the reporters were interviewing the Lingnan players in the background, Xiangbei High School was much more deserted, except for the Sakuragi Army and Haruko who came to the backstage from the stands to congratulate Xiangbei on their victory, no reporter came to interview Xiangbei.
After leading the players back to the lounge to pack up their things, Coach Anzai also walked towards the stands, planning to take the players to watch the next game between the High School Affiliated to Hakata Business University and Aihe College.
The match between these two teams will be the last of the semi-finals, and the winning team will meet Xiangbei High School in the final.
At this time, in the stadium, the staff of the conference have also begun to clean the stadium, and in the rest areas on both sides of the stadium, the players of the two teams have also changed their jerseys and are ready to play.
The High School Affiliated to Hakata Business University and Aihe College are both old and strong schools, and the team's historical results are quite good, such as Aihe College, the best result in the national competition is the runner-up, and the Affiliated High School of Hakata Business University is the same, the best result is also the runner-up.
The game of these two teams is also very high, and the vast majority of the spectators in the stands did not leave after watching the game between Xiangbei and Lingnan, and continued to stay to watch this game, wanting to see who can break into the finals.
After nearly half an hour of waiting, the two teams finally finished their warm-ups, and the players made the final adjustments as they returned to the lounge before starting to walk onto the pitch.
As the players of the two teams entered, the stands suddenly became lively.
Mitsui took out a magazine from his backpack and began to check the players in the starting game according to the booklet.
"Hakata Business University is attached! and Aihe, these two teams are very powerful. ”
"Hey, Martial Arts, which team are you more optimistic about?"
Mitsui Shou patted Jinguji Takemichi on the shoulder and asked with a smile.
Wu Dao looked at the two teams in the field, shook his head with lack of interest, and said casually:
"Whoever wins is the same."
"After losing to us at Lingnan High School, no team has the ability to stop us."
"As for the outcome of this game, who knows? The strength is about the same. ”
Hakata's game and Aiwa's game martial arts have been watched, both teams have excellent players, but compared to their Xiangbei High School, the standard is a little worse.
Not to mention him, these two teams may not be able to stop the coordinated attack of Mitsui Shou and Rukawa Kaede.
Just as the Xiangbei players in the stands were chatting and analyzing, the game in the stadium officially started with the referee's whistle.
The basketball was thrown into the air, and the centers of both sides let out a loud shout in unison and slapped it towards the basketball.
In the center position, the center of Hakata Business University High School has a height advantage and is quite explosive, taking the lead under the basketball and dialing the ball to his own half.
After Hakata's point guard got the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and after entering the frontcourt, he quickly accelerated and broke through under the high block of his teammates, and instantly passed the defender, and easily entered the basket to make a layup.
But at the moment when Bodo's point guard made a layup, Zhuxingda's supplementary defense also arrived in time and jumped up and slapped the ball down.
The basketball landed directly on the instep of the Hakata point guard as it fell, and then rolled out of bounds.
A beautiful chase block, Zhu Xingda helped the team block the opponent's attack at the same time, but also won the ball for his team.
Between offense and defense, the Aihe Academy has already launched a counterattack under the organization of the Star University.
Aihe Academy is a team formed with Zhuxing as the offensive core, and the style of the whole team belongs to that kind of small and fast style.
In just a few seconds, Aihe Academy, under the leadership of Zhuxingda, was all pressed to Hakata half.
It's just a simple outside cover after blocking and dismantling, the stars with the ball quickly dribble sideways, and after two steps, they jump directly and shoot three-pointers.
The basketball flew out of the hands of the stars quickly, and then crossed the half court, falling steadily into the net with a crisp sound.
"Huh!"
The crisp sound of the net made the spectators in the stands cheer, and the substitutes on the sidelines also cheered enthusiastically.
The scoreboard jumped, and the score of the two teams came to 3:0.
The beautiful goals of the stars also set the tone for this game, and the small quick tactics of Aihe Academy played quite well, and the basketball movement between the players was also very smooth.
When the first half of the game was only about 10 minutes old, Aihe Academy managed to lead the opponent by 6 points and occupy a 21-15 lead.
The pitch is in great shape.
In the stands, Mitsui Shou watched the advantages of Aihe Academy gradually consolidate, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said to the players:
"It looks like the outcome of this game is starting to become clear."
"Our opponent in the next game should be Aihe Academy."
"In that case, the champion of the competition, we are very stable!"
Mitsui Shou used to fight with Aihe Academy, and the strength of the other party seems to be very strong, but it also depends on who he compares with, and compared with Xiangbei, Aihe Academy is obviously not enough.
"Don't be too happy, I always feel that the affiliated company of Hakata Business University still has a chance to win."
'You look at their players, they haven't had any ups and downs when they're down.
"The players also adjust quickly between offense and defense, and such opponents are not so easy to be defeated."
Akagi Tsuyoshi looked at the game in the field and shook his head, not very much agreeing with Mitsui Shou's words.
Mitsui Shou heard Akagi's rebuttal, and after looking at the state of the Hakata Shangdai affiliated players on the court, he also nodded slightly, and then patted Jinguji Martial Arts on the shoulder, asked for Martial Arts' opinion, and asked:
"Martial arts, who do you think will win?"
However, in response to Mitsui Shou, there was a steady and slight sound of breathing.
I don't know when, Jinguji Martial Arts has already fallen asleep, and he didn't go to see the development of this game at all. The cheers that rang out from time to time in the stands did not affect the "sleep" of Jinguji Martial Arts at all.
Mitsui Shou found that Jinguji Martial Arts was actually sleeping at this moment, and he didn't choose to wake up Jinguji Martial Arts, and muttered, "Actually asleep?" ”
"Did the match with Lingnan High School just now consume a lot of physical strength?!"
"Or is it so boring that Ai and the match with Hakata?"
Mitsui Shou's muttering came to Akagi's ears, and Akagi glanced at Jinguji Martial Arts, who was already asleep, and said softly:
"It should be tired, you haven't faced the attack of the Sinomiya Field, I don't know how terrifying his power is."
"If you want to defend a guy like that, it's normal to be tired, and these days when you play in the national competition, the martial arts are almost full, and it's normal to be tired."
The two chatted, not bothering the martial arts rest again, but turned their heads to look at the game in the court.
At the end of the first half, Aihe Academy led the opponent by 8 points at 46:38.
Just when everyone thought that Aiwa Academy had won, in the second half of the game, Hakata Business University had a different defender, and after that defender came on the field, the situation in the stadium suddenly changed.
In less than 10 minutes, the High School Affiliated to Hakata Business University swept away the previous disadvantage and directly chased the score of the two teams to a 65:65 draw.
As the game progressed, the affiliated company of Hakata Business University completed the overtake and slowly consolidated its advantage.
In the middle of the court, a tall boy wearing a white No. 10 jersey received the ball outside the third line, and after a tentative step, he quickly dropped the ball, just a step directly past the stars, quickly entered the interior line, and then made a rebound under the opponent's defense, and easily sent the ball into the net.
As the basketball entered the net, there were also enthusiastic cheers in the stands.
The No. 10 player, who wore a white jersey, was a player who was only substituted in the second half of the Hakata Shodai.
Hamadi Jonsson, mixed European and Japanese, 193cm tall, 83kg weight, role - point guard!
Under the leadership of Hamadi Jonsson, Hakata Business University quickly stabilized its advantage and maintained this advantage until the end of the game!
At 88:81, the affiliated school of Hakata Business University finally defeated Aihe College by 7 points and obtained the qualification to challenge Xiangbei High School.
