Chapter 10: Second Half of Year 2 and 3

Yue Ze did not answer Aiko's question, but just looked at Aiko and smiled. Aiko was so angry that she hammered Yue Ze hard.

"Beep~~~" A whistle sounded, and the second half of the game began, and everyone's attention was attracted to the court again.

"Brother will not lose, right? Although the opponent is Rukawa, I don't want my brother to lose."

Haruko was still worried about who was better than his brother or Rukawa Kaede in the first half. However, when he saw that the senior team led by his brother was behind in a big score, thinking of his brother's usual hard training, the balance of emotions finally turned completely toward family affection. Haruko hoped that his brother could recover the score and win.

Ayako glanced at Yuezawa and comforted him: "Haruko, don't worry, this guy is no longer there in the second half, and the third-year senior Mitsui finally made his debut. Captain Akagi and others will definitely play better in the second half."

Sure enough, the first offense in the second and third grades was completed. Although Akagi was a little uncomfortable with Rukawa Kaede, Mitsui was liberated from the outside. Rukawa, the only one who could interfere with Mitsui was still fighting Akagi in the inside. Sakuragi's defensive experience was almost zero, so Mitsui naturally would not miss such a good opportunity. He swung Sakuragi away from his fake moves and jumped up and made a three-pointer. This caused cheers from the second and third grade players.

The first-grade offense is not that easy. Mitsui stared at Rukawa Kaede and made a quick shot. Rukawa Kaede's three-pointer was not very good. What he was most sure of was attacking the basket from close range. Under Mitsui's defense, every move consumed more energy than before. Moreover, even if he spent a lot of physical energy to break through Mitsui's defense, Akagi would come up to make up for the defense immediately. Rukawa had a deep understanding of Akagi's defensive ability during training, but there was still no good chance, so his hit rate would naturally not be high. He barely tried a few balls on the outside, but the effect was not very good. Rukawa Kaede was already limited.

Grade 2 and 3rd grades caught up with the score. As the score approached, the fight naturally did not have the trembling of the first half, and the ball was much smoother. Each player could make his own contribution, rather than relying on the solo work of Mitsui and Akagi.

A basketball game is a process of restraint and anti-restraint. When one side is strong, the other side is naturally at a disadvantage.

The first grade started to panic, with his passes and his hands tightened his feet, and he couldn't let go of his offense. He only relied on Rukawa. Although he could also increase his points, he was much slower than in the second and third grades. Although Sakuragi was very active on both ends of offense and defense, he had a gap in his skills and experience, and he still couldn't play a big role.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mitsui pretended to use his right hand to pick the basket. When Sakuragi jumped up, his right hand suddenly retracted, and turned around and pulled back the side step, changing to the left hand to score a layup.

"Missary, don't you dare to decide face to face with me? Are you also afraid of me, a man who once defeated gorillas? Don't always play fake moves and face the battle head-on like a man." Sakuragi roared after being deceived countless times.

"Fake moves are also part of basketball, and you have more things to learn." Mitsui was unmoved at all.

Rukawa Kaede tried his best to score a goal under the double-team of Mitsui and Akagi.

Second and third grade ball rights.

Mitsui dribbled the ball slowly and passed the half, and the ball was directly hung to Akagi in the inside. Akagi was defended by Rukawa Kaede as soon as he got the ball. He could not find a good offensive opportunity, so the ball returned to Mitsui.

He patted the ball gently and watched Sakuragi's defensive movements.

Mitsui leaned against Sakuragi's arm and turned around beautifully, then suddenly started to push Sakuragi over. When facing Rukawa Kaede's defense, Mitsui threw another high ball over Rukawa's head. Mitsui knew that someone would put the ball into the basket. Sure enough, Akagi, who was unpreserved, did not disappoint everyone, and directly picked up the ball in the air and poured the ball into the basket.

81:81.

There are 6 minutes and 41 seconds left. The second and third grade team scored a 40:19 in the second half within 14 minutes of the second half, recovering a huge score difference of 21 points.

"Oh, the air relay, the captain did a beautiful job, and he tied the score." The audience on the court couldn't help but cheer for the wonderful performance.

"I knew my brother would not give up easily." Haruko was also very happy to see the team where his brother was tied the score.

The balance of victory has inevitably tilted towards the second and third grade teams. Even Rukawa Kaede is working hard and it is difficult to reverse the spherical surface. Nowadays, like Xiangbei in the previous prefecture competition, you cannot win the game by just one person.

95:89, this is the final score, and the second and third grade team won the game.

"It's all your fault. You stinky fox, because you are too independent and do not pass the ball, the team lost the game in a great way." Sakuragi, who lost the game, did not forget to attack his rival.

"I only changed one person in the second half, and that was you, and the team lost. Why do you think this is?" If it were someone else, Rukawa was too lazy to pay attention to Sakuragi's provocation. Rukawa was particularly concerned about Sakuragi's provocation and instinctively launched a counterattack. Perhaps in Rukawa Kaede's eyes, Sakuragi was also a person of the same level as him.

"Ahhhh, you stinky fox, you lost because of you, you." Sakuragi roared.

"It's you." Rukawa said and turned around and left.

Sakuragi was left alone and sulked.

"Sakuragi Hanamichi, you've played very well. After all, you are a beginner. You need to accumulate experience on the court and persist in training off the court. I believe that Sakuragi will be a very outstanding basketball player in the future." Haruko's appearance at the right time comforted Sakuragi's injured heart.

"Is that true! Haruko, you think I performed well. Is it all the reason why the team lost? "Sakuragi's eyes turned into two shining stars.

"~~~~~~" Haruko was speechless.

Akagi was in a good mood, not because he won the team's practice game, but because he saw the hope of the team's entry into the country. With Joezawa, Rukawa, and Mitsui who returned, the team's strength has been qualitatively improved. This year, he must enter the national competition. This is his last chance and the best opportunity. It is not allowed to be missed. It seems that the intensity of training must be increased, and no one is allowed to be lazy.

For some reason, the players present shuddered and felt a little weak.

The game is over and it's time to go home.

"Caizi, can I send you home today?" Yueze whispered to Aizi who was walking at the end.
