Chapter 15 Top Four
"Xiangbei finally took the lead!!" With a loud shout, the door of the locker room was opened, and agile figure shouted excitedly.
"Huh? Is it Lingnan?" The person who came was the newcomer Qingtian Nobunaga. He first shouted at the people of Lingnan, and then Xiandao asked him about the situation before he calmed down. However, everyone in Lingnan equated him with Sakuragi.
There are two matches in today's gymnasium, one is Lingnan vs Dongfengke, and the other is Xiangbei vs Xiangyang, the match between the first average height in the county and the new dark horse.
"Shoya's player is very tall~" Takuya, who had changed his clothes, sighed at first when he saw the situation on the court. Now, it is already the second half. Ryunan has been resting in the locker room for a while, and Takuya is even asleep.
"You are here, the battle situation just now is very exciting!" Yuzuru told Takuya later that in Kanagawa, his biggest enemy is Takaki Akagi. Although he knew Shoyo's center forward, he had never fought.
"What's the situation? Did that Sakuragi do something funny?" Takuya asked with a smile.
"That kid would definitely do such a thing, it's not worth mentioning at all. The captain refers to Fujima's appearance." Off-road said helplessly. In his opinion, Sakuragi was the character sent by Shokube to deliberately make trouble.
"Fujima? Are you referring to the No. 4 on the court?" Takuya asked. At this moment, Fujima just stole Sakuragi and just grabbed the rebound. She rushed to Shokube's backcourt like a storm, scored successfully and received a free throw.
"Wow! That shot is quite powerful. He took action before he reached the highest point..." Takuya said in surprise. He didn't even use this kind of shot often, and his shooting rate was too low.
Before he finished speaking, Fujima assisted Huashi to score. With Fujima connected, Huashi returned to the level of the county's top center. With the other three tall men above 1.9 meters tall, Xiangbei's inside line was earth-shaking.
"Yingping, look at Xiangyang's center. I think you can regard him as your goal." Takuya looked at it and said to Yingping.
"Yes, Yingping, you can't become a center forward like me or Akagi. Huashi is a good learning object. And with experts like Sendo and Takuya, your burden is not as big as Huashi." Yuzuya persuaded that if you don't have a very good year next year, Yingping will be the main center forward.
"I know...I know."
With ten minutes left in the game, Xiangbei called for a timeout.
"Is Fujima? Captain Yuzuru, if we meet Xiangyang, he will be the one I want to deal with?" Seeing Fujima's strength after taking the field, Off-Road felt a little worried.
"Yes, if we can't deal with him, we will be in a lot of trouble." Yuzhu said in a deep voice. "Fujima Kenji, he is the only person in Xiangyang's history who defeated the regular player in the first grade. He has been shining as an ace player since the first grade. On the surface, his path seems to be quite flat... But so far, he has not tried the taste of victory. The reason is that... Fujima's past opponents were him! King? Monster affiliated to Hainan? Mu!!"
"Fuzuma is determined to defeat Hainan in the summer of the last year. This determination is not a joke. Is Shonobe able to fight such a Xiangyang?" Yuzuru sympathized with Fujima's sadness. He also worked hard all year to defeat Akagi this year.
The game continued, with Fujima connecting, and Sakuragi just fouled again in order to prevent Fujima from stealing, and the number of fouls reached four times. In order to prevent him from leaving the field, Shoyang's score slowly left Xiangbei. When there were five minutes left, the score was pulled to 12 points.
Just as everyone thought that Xiangbei lost at the right time, suddenly the turn of the circle was turned, and Mitsui Shou felt like he was possessed by God. When his physical strength was about to be exhausted, he shot four three-pointers in a row, tying the score.
Then Sakuragi was resurrected and grabbed the key defensive rebound. Rukawa successfully attacked and finally overtook the score. Before the game, Sakuragi completed a slam dunk that shocked the whole game and knocked away Huashi and another member of Shoyo. Unfortunately, the foul was fouled and Sakuragi left the field.
With Sakuragi's slam dunk, Shokube's morale reached its highest point. He maintained a weak lead for the remaining two minutes until the game was finished.
"Sakuragi Hanamichi has made too much progress compared to the last game. Although he is an idiot, he really can't underestimate him..." After the game, Takuya looked at Fujima who was crying and couldn't help but sigh.
"And that Mitsui Shou, who is such a backbone player!"
——
After the battle in Xiangyang, Xiangbei, it caused a great shock to everyone in the county who left a message for basketball. There was no professional league in Japan, and the NBA has not broadcast games in Japan now. Most people who like basketball will pay attention to high school games and university leagues, so Xiangbei became famous this time.
Even an unknown team like Xiangbei can defeat Xiangyang, and the two quarter-final teams that have not yet competed with last year's semi-finals are ready to move.
Especially Wuyuan, a new player has been added this year. He has good skills and handsome appearance, so he immediately became the new favorite of Wuyuan.
"Are you going to see Hainan today? Lingnan is so good. You can skip classes for this reason~" Takuya took Yoshiichi and walked into the competition venue leisurely.
"Well, Senior Takuya, our main purpose is to observe Hainan's strength. Is it really good that you are so careless?" Yan Yi said a little scaredly. For this Senior, he was not withdrawing.
"Oh~ Do you really think Hainan will use all his strength to the Martial Arts? Martial Arts is not Xiangbei, and Hainan doesn't know how many main players will make it, but I guess there are no more than two." Takuya said.
"Senior Takuya, you're too much to say that." Yan looked around and whispered.
"Oh~ You are stupid, you think it's a coincidence that Hainan has dominated for 16 years? Hainan's training will definitely not be lower than our Lingnan. Those who can stand up but have not left the team will definitely not be weaker than the other quarterfinals." Takuya said with a laugh.
"What did you say? Do you think Martial Arts will definitely lose!" Suddenly, a man wearing a Martial Arts jersey walked over fiercely.
People came to see Takuya and Yoshiichi, and said in an unkind tone: "Are you Lingnan? Don't think you can be arrogant if you enter the semi-finals. If you are in the same group as our Martial Arts Park, you will definitely not be able to win us!"
Takuya looked at the person in front of him and did not refute. When the person came to see him silent, he thought Takuya was afraid and seemed even more arrogant. Takuya was silent for a while, and suddenly pushed the man away and walked behind him.
"Can this beautiful lady give me the honor to know your name? Your beauty is like..." Sweet words kept talking from Takuya's mouth, and he was chatting with a young and beautiful female student.
"When the girl came over, I knew, Senior Takuya..." After Takuya walked forward, only Yanyi was left to face the team member of the martial arts park. Yanyi glanced at the man and found that the other party's face was even more terrifying.
Hen repeatedly glanced at the female student who was being approached by Takuya, and felt even worse.
"Senior Takuya!! That girl is a student from the martial arts park!!" Yan Yi shouted in his heart.
The boy who stopped Takuya just now walked forward with anger and held the girl Takuya was approached by Takuya.
"Lingnan's bastard! Don't harass the girls in our martial arts park! Let me tell you, she is my girlfriend!" The boy said arrogantly.
"Oda..." The girl who was held by him looked at him with a gentle face.
"Oh~ A handful of flowers are placed on cow dung..." Takuya looked at the girl in disappointment and left in a low voice, ignoring the man named Oda from beginning to end.
As the ace of the martial arts park, when has Oda been ignored so much? He was so angry that he shouted loudly again.
"Stop! Didn't you hear me?!"
"You are very annoying! Is there anything wrong? I'm still rushing to watch the game! Although I don't think Martial Arts can force Hainan to do its best..." Takuya turned around in disgust.
"You..." Takuya said it, Oda had no idea how to refute it.
"Huh? It's a slutty monkey! Why are you here too!" This is a red-haired person coming in at the door, Sakuragi.
“It’s so unlucky today…”
"Hmph, you don't seem to be a good person, even if you know someone like Sakuragi." Seeing Sakuragi come in, Oda said maliciously.
"Well, you're better than you, at least they've entered the semi-finals." Takuya said disdainfully again, and then went in without turning his head.
"Damn it!!" Oda's fist clenched tightly.
——
Takuya stood up in the audience. It was the second half and there were 5 minutes left in the game.
"Let's go, Yan Yi, there's nothing good to look at."
"Senior, wait for me~" Yan Yi hurriedly followed closely.
"There is nothing worth studying in this competition, and Hainan has no effort at all. It's really a waste of time." Taku said unhappily.
"Yeah?"
"Except for the No. 10, who loves to show off, is worth watching, the normal game is adults bullying children, and there is no viewing at all."
