022 The Flame That Was Extinguished
"The victory has been decided, and the overall situation has been decided." Shigeichi Taoka gave an eight-word conclusion.
Yuzhu and the others next to him were a little surprised.
As a coach known for his rigor, such words are difficult to get out of Shigeichi Taoka's mouth.
It's just 7 minutes, and the opening is just over a minute, so this difference doesn't mean anything at all.
"Observe the movements of that number 13 more, observe his habits and loopholes." Shigeichi Taoka ignored Yuzhu and the others, but said to Akira Immortal Dao next to him: "That newcomer may be the biggest obstacle in our Lingnan this year!" ”
"Does the coach think Rukawa has already lost?" Xiandao said.
He's played against Rukawa Kaede, and he's not an easy guy to give up, and he's grown at an impressive rate in the game.
Xiandao Zhang frowned slightly: "I don't think he looks like he wants to give up, maybe this is an opportunity for him to transform into a growth." ”
"You only see their skills, not the hearts of people." Shigeichi Taoka smiled bitterly: "Growth? That's up to you and your opponents! ”
"A small sapling stands in the storm, swaying and standing in the wind, it can grow naturally, but if it refuses to move with the wind, what if it has to fight the wind? Even, what if the opponent is not a temporal but a powerful chainsaw? ”
Xiandao Zhang was slightly stunned.
"Rukawa Kaede is not you and Ah Mu, he is still too tender to cope with such adversity, if I were Coach Anzai, I would replace Rukawa Kaede now." Shigeichi Taoka said seriously: "Otherwise, what awaits him will not only be to lose this game, but to completely destroy his confidence in playing!" ”
He couldn't help but look at Coach Anxi on the bench in Xiangbei, but saw a white-haired old man sitting upright on the bench with a thermos cup, and he didn't have the slightest intention of changing people.
Really not a replacement?
If someone else had such an attitude, Shigeichi Taoka might have mocked 'I don't understand fart', but after all, it was a white-haired Buddha.
Even if you sit there and do nothing, you always feel unfathomable.
Shigeichi Taoka didn't understand.
What was Coach Anthy thinking?
………………
Swish~
The basketball hollow into the net, Xiangyang leads, 7:0.
After a brief silence, the arena erupted in loud cheers.
Xiangyang! Xiangyang! Xiangyang!
Lin Dong! Lin Dong! Lin Dong!
"That No. 13 is so strong!"
"It's worthy of the quarterfinals, it's not at the same level as the previous preliminaries!"
"But isn't it, I see that Xiangbei has won several points against the opponent in the previous preliminaries, and now it is ...... when I meet Xiangyang."
"The No. 11 in Xiangbei is not enough to see at all, why don't you let that red hair guard the No. 13? I think the red hair is quite energetic, much better than the lifeless No. 11. "It has to be a boy's voice.
"Come on the 13th!"
This is not only the cheerleaders of Xiangyang, but the entire stadium seems to be driven by the three balls in the opening game, and the cheering voice completely presents a one-sided attitude.
"Lin Dongjun is so handsome!"
"Lin Dong! Lin Dong! Lin Dong! ”
"Rukawa...... Rukawa ......"
And with the blessing of the Xiangyang Women's Group, even if the Liuchuan trio worked hard, their voices were as thin as mosquitoes, and they were completely defeated.
With a 7-point difference, it doesn't seem like a difficult number to catch up with on a basketball court.
However, when Ryota Miyagi regained Sakuragi's baseline serve, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere of the whole court was not quite right.
This kind of wrongness and pressure does not just come from the one-sided cheers in the stands, but from the field, from their own teammates!
Rukawa Kaede needless to say, he didn't have to look at him, the first three balls, just over a minute, was broken by the opponent three times in a row, no matter who it was, it was impossible to maintain a good attitude.
Akagi's expression also seemed to become a little stiffer, and he didn't have the composure of shouting "It's okay, come again" when he lost points for the first time.
This is not just a matter of mentality, but obviously even Akagi Gangken doesn't know what to do for a while, and he doesn't know how to open up the situation at this moment.
Mitsui on the other side has begun to gasp.
Although the close winding of the opponent's No. 6 did make Mitsui have been in a tired running position, this is only a little more than a minute into the game, and it is only a few minutes including the pause, no matter how much you run and fight, you will not be tired like this.
It's because Mitsui Shou feels the pressure...... The pressure from the cheers of this stadium, the pressure from the defeat of each other's aces, and the pressure from Xiangyang's opening momentum!
Ryota Miyagi trotted across half court and stabilized a little past the halfway line.
Xiangyang's various positions are already in place.
The whole team of Xiangbei seems to have been stunned by Xiangyang's opening three-board axe, and the running is obviously not as smooth and positive as the first two goals......
Miyagi Ryota faintly had a feeling as if there was a huge haze hanging over all the people in northern Xiangbei.
That's a kind of ...... Dark!
………………
Against Ito Zhuo's defensive mid-range shot, the basketball popped out of the frame, Sakuragi Hanamichi's rebound gave Xiangbei a life, and cooperated with Akagi to eat a flower under the basket, finally breaking Xiangbei's scoring drought.
But just when the morale of Xiangbei was just slightly boosted, the next thing was deeper despair.
Ito Zhuo's pass, Miyagi can't defend, the height difference is too big, a high-profile in the air, and the organization of the attack will not be disturbed at all.
Hanagata under the basket is not at a loss against Akagi Tsuyoshi, and although Hasegawa and Takano are slightly inferior on the offensive end, one Lin Dong is enough to make up for it.
As soon as the ball reached the hand of Xiangyang's No. 13, the cheers of the whole court were already around.
Rukawa Kaede couldn't stop him.
It seems that he thought of the means against Lingnan Xiandao, and Sakuragi Hanamichi also instinctively participated in the defense package, but even if it was two against one, it was still meaningless.
Breakthroughs, jump shots, simple means seem to be fancy, but they are definitely not in vain, and even have given the audience the feeling that his shot is equal to the ball.
In the opening seven minutes, he shot 8-of-8, including 2 3-pointers and 2 2+1s, scored 20 points, and also handed out four assists, one block and a terrifying six steals.
Absolute Xiangyang core engine, almost every goal of Xiangyang is related to him!
The score on the electronic scoreboard has come to 31:8......
Sakuragi Hanamichi scored 2 points for a shit lucky slap in the face, Akagi Goken slammed a dunk for 2 points, Mitsui Shou scored 3 points for a 3-point free throw and was fouled, and Miyagi Ryota made a defensive foul on Takushi Ito, also relying on free throws, and scored 1 point in 1 of 2 free throws.
After calculation, in addition to Akagi Gangxian's 2 points, there are only 2 points of dribbling and 4 free throws, and Xiangbei has no other serious scores......
This is not just from the tightness of Xiangyang's defense, this is not the level of Xiangbei, but when the trump card is completely blocked by the other party, Xiangyang's momentum has overwhelmed everything.
In addition to the coarse nervous Sakuragi Hanamichi who was full of anxiety and active spirits, all the staff in Xiangbei were panting, and their eyes began to look at Coach Anzai on the sidelines.
The flames in Rukawa Kaede's eyes were finally slowly extinguished.
In 7 minutes, he consumed almost all of his physical strength, but only got a big duck egg data of 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists.
From the first time he was intercepted by the opponent's No. 13 from a pass from Ryota Miyagi, he has never touched the ball again!
