The opponent's defense was too tight, and the pace was so fast that he even began to feel a little at a loss, and what made people even more desperate was the calmness of the opponent's face.

From beginning to end, except for the phrase 'come on', the opponent's face has always maintained the calmness and concentration that made him desperate, without a word of nonsense, without a superfluous expression, and in this 7-minute period, every defense and every action of the opponent is not half a point different from the concentration of the first ball in the opening game.

Let Rukawa Kaede feel that the other party has not changed in any aspect such as emotion, skills, physical strength, etc., which also means that the other party is just using the most relaxed and ordinary state to counter himself, and he is actually ......

Just to get rid of the other party, he has already consumed all his physical strength.

He did 'get rid of' the other two or three times, but that's where the worst thing happened.

Because of those two or three escapes, successive passes from Miyagi Ryota and Akagi were intercepted by the opponent.

Just like the first ball he was cut off, so much so that the whole team in Xiangbei now has an illusion.

If Rukawa Kaede gets rid of the opponent's No. 13, then the opponent must be deliberately playing a game and waiting to intercept your ball......

Even if you run out of the open space, you can make your teammates dare not pass the ball to you anymore, what kind of absolute dominance and deterrence is this?

Rukawa Kaede couldn't help but think of a picture he saw on a TV show the other day.

It was a cockroach, and it was in a glass bottle.

For cockroaches, it seems that there are roads in all directions, and it moves fast, but no matter which direction it runs, the end result is only to hit the wall.

And at this moment, I seem to be like the cockroach in a bottle.

That Xiangyang's No. 13, his ball skills are the bottle that envelops him in all directions, leaving him with no way out.

And the calmness on the other party's face from beginning to end was like a lock, completely locking the bottle, leaving him no chance to break the game!

Rukawa Kaede felt his body tremble from excitement at first, to calming down, and then to trembling again with despair and anger at himself.

It only took 7 minutes.

Despair, the abyss, even with the burning anger and unwillingness, can only fall to the bottom of the endless, and finally disappear without a trace.

Rukawa Kaede's movements began to stiffen, until he saw Lin Dong jump high in front of him for three points, and he had lost the confidence to jump up and defend.

Swish!

The basketball was caught.

With 2:55 left in the first quarter, the score on the electronic scoreboard jumped, 34-8.

Coach Anzai, who had been silent since the beginning, finally stood up from the sidelines and walked to the referee's bench.

Hush!

"Xiangbei substitution!"

…………

"It's finally a substitution." Akira Sendo in the stands couldn't help but glance at Shigeru Taoka.

Coach Taoka still has something, and he has predicted this a long time ago.

Rukawa Kaede really didn't play the role of an ace as he imagined, didn't grow in the blow, and didn't find a way to deal with it.

The only thing he got in this contest was to be destroyed.

This can be seen from the fighting spirit and confusion that are gradually extinguished in Liuchuan Kaede's eyes, which is much more damaging than being extinguished as soon as he comes up.

I really don't see as far-reaching as Coach Taoka, and I only focus on the gap in each other's strength, but I don't see through people's hearts.

But at this moment, Shigeichi Taoka's face did not have the slightest pride in guessing the result in advance, but his face was dignified.

His mind was no longer on Rukawa Kaede, but on Xiangyang's No. 13......

For the first time, Shigeichi Taoka's face showed a deep look of jealousy, even if he watched Amu's game, he had never felt like this.

It's not because the No. 13 will Rukawa Kaede easily keep a clean sheet, nor is it because he scored 20 points, 7 steals and 4 assists in 7 minutes in a single quarter.

It's because ...... Can't see through!

He has been trying his best to find the guy's playing habits and shortcomings in the counterpoint of Xiangyang 13 and Rukawa Kaede, but even now, he has not seen anything.

The kaleidoscope style of play on the offensive end, there are many scoring methods, whether it is back to the basket or breakthrough, whether it is mid-distance or three-point, and even organizational ability, strategy ability, basketball vision, etc., there are no shortcomings at all!

In the confrontation on the field, the vision of several wonderful passes and assists is even clearer and more thorough than that of him, a coach with a God's perspective on the sidelines!

Mom...... It's simply incredible!

And on the defensive end, the footsteps, awareness, etc., covered Rukawa Kaede in all directions, which was something that even Xiandao did not do in the original practice game.

Moreover, this No. 13 does not have the obvious behavior habits that ordinary golfers are very comfortable with, and there are no obvious loopholes that can be targeted.

His strength is like an abyss, it is simply bottomless!

If you meet Lingnan in the next semi-finals......

Shigeichi Taoka felt that he couldn't even think of any tactics that could be aimed at the other party, even if he handed it over to the immortal path who was in full swing, I was afraid that he would not be able to restrain him, but would be constrained by him.

This guy's strength feels like it's still above the Immortal Dao......

Fortunately, it was Xiangbei who met them first, if it was Lingnan...... Encountering such an unexpected opponent in a hurry, even if the performance will be better than the current Xiangbei, I am afraid it will not be much better.

"Hikoichi!" Shigeichi Taoka said to the gods: "It's being recorded, right?" Record more shots of Xiangyang's No. 13, pay attention! ”

"Good coach!"

As soon as Shigeru Taoka finished explaining, he began to clasp his hands around him, frowning, and his feet kept stomping on the ground.

Headache...... I'll have to go back and work out what to do......

…………

Call...... Call...... Call......

Rukawa Kaede, who was on the scene, put a towel on his head, covering his entire face, so that Ayako next to him could only hear his heavy breathing.

His fists were clenched tightly and rested on his knees, and his shoulders trembled faintly.

Is the child crying?

Ayako reached out and patted him on the shoulder, but Rukawa Kaede didn't react until Coach Anzai walked up to him.

"I'm sorry, Rukawa-san." It was Coach Anthy who opened his mouth first: "I should have replaced you earlier, but I didn't want you to fall in the quarterfinals, so ...... You have done a good job, at least let him be very focused, and also showed a lot, if he is opposite to other people in Xiangbei, then maybe I can't see his real strength at all. ”

Rukawa Kaede didn't speak, but he could feel his trembling shoulders calm down a little.

“…… Do you see something? Rukawa Kaede asked for a long time.

Coach Anzay did not answer him directly to this question, but said: "Observing the opponent is to find the opponent's flaws, in order to find a way to solve it, but unfortunately ......"

"He has no flaws?" Rukawa Kaede's head was finally raised, but it was still so that Ayako next to him couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Yes, anyone can have flaws, even gods." Coach Anzai shook his head slowly: "But it's a pity, it's not a flaw you can catch...... At least not now, he is not the current you, and he is not the opponent that Xiangbei can deal with now. ”

"Even you can't do it?" Rukawa Kaede's eyes finally showed a hint of surprise.

What kind of level Coach Anzai is at, Rukawa Kaede is very clear in his heart.

Former Japanese national team player, main guard, once dominated the Japanese university basketball world of the devil coach, even now known as the white-haired Buddha, it is just a change of personality.

And when it comes to the understanding of basketball, the whole of Kanagawa ...... No, maybe not many people in the whole of Japan dare to say that they can beat him.

However, even such a person has already said such a thing, and he can't think of a way to let Xiangbei compete with it, what kind of gap is this?

He ...... How strong is it, exactly? The towel on Rukawa Kaede's head finally slipped halfway off.

Ayako could see the surprise, concentration, and shock on his face from the side, but it seemed ...... A little less anger than when you were on the pitch, and a little less pain and struggle.

"The national team's level." Coach Anthy said slowly.

“U19？ The national youth team? The surprise on Rukawa Kaede's face was even stronger, but the anger and pain had completely disappeared.

The national youth team is a standard national team, which means that the young Japanese basketball generation is at the peak level and can already represent Japan in the U19 World Championships.

It's usually the exclusive domain of the top stars at the university's top scores.

High School Basketball? Perhaps only the so-called first person in Japanese high school can be selected, such as Eiji Zebei of Sanno Industries, who is now the most popular in Japanese high school basketball.

Xiangyang's No. 13, in the eyes of Coach Anzai, has reached such a height?

But Coach Anzay didn't nod or answer.

He was silent for a moment, then squatted down, put his big chubby hand on Rukawa Kaede's leg and patted it gently.

"Olympic national team, just selected!"
