Chapter 35 The bench that pushes Xiangyang horizontally

Coach Xinmura is now very dissatisfied with the achievements made by the Xiangyang players at the basket! Two long men, who are both taller than 190cm, can't even snatch Akagi Takaki, a first-year-old Akagi! He actually let the opponent win the frontcourt rebounds many times and succeed in the second offense.

"Huashi! Watanabe! What are you two doing? How many rebounds do you want to lose? What are you two doing for??"

"Do you still want to play in the national competition? What can you do if you go there now? Will a round of tours embarrass Kanagawa?"

Coach Shinmura was not calm and cursed at Huashi and power forward Watanabe who ended up with the game! The greater his expectations for Huashi, the greater his disappointment. Huashi and Watanabe were unable to hold the rebound, making him no longer feel at ease to hand the basket over to them!

"Huashi! You don't have to play later! Zhengyi, you go! Let Huashi take a good look, how to play at the basket!"

Coach Shinmura said to Masaichi Yoshida who was sitting on the stool.

Yoshida Masaichi is a third-year senior in Shoyo High School. He is 196cm tall and weighs 88kg. He is the center! He is Shoyo's starting center. In this game, Shinmura put Yoshida off the court. Yoshida's physical strength, experience, and under the basket skills are far superior to those in Huashi, and Yoshida has experience in national competitions. His strength is not comparable to that of Huashi now.

"yes!"

Yoshida responded when he heard the instructions from Shinmura coach.

"Well! Flower shape, don't care, just take a break!"

Yoshida patted Huashi's shoulder and comforted her, Huashi's mentality was affected to a certain extent. As a senior, Yoshida felt keenly that he was optimistic about Huashi. Sooner or later, Xiangyang's inside line would need Huashi to take over the burden.

"Yes! I understand."

"Come on, senior!"

Huashi felt Yoshida's feelings, and her heart was warm to the senior care of Huashi.

.............

The pause time will pass soon!

Facing the cheers of the audience, Xiangyang and Xiangbei returned to the court again.

"Hey, look, Xiangyang's center has been replaced!"

"Yes! That person is Yoshida Masaichi, who is in the third grade of Shoyo! The most popular center in the prefecture."

"Is Xiangyang going to give all his strength?"

"Xiangbei is over now! It's a pity that they fought so hard!"

The sharp-eyed audience noticed that the personnel in the Xiangyang team had changed. The center Masaichi Yoshida, who was familiar to most fans of Xiangyang, was a man who had shown his face in the national competition!

“Duang!Duang!Xiang!Xiang!”

“Duang!Duang!Xiang!Xiang!”

The uniform slogans and actions of the Xiangyang cheerleaders are also a major feature of Xiangyang High School. With the appearance of the Xiangyang team, the cheerleaders' cheerleaders' cheerleaders covered the entire gymnasium. They invisibly put huge pressure on the players in Xiangbei!

The game continues! Xiangyang ball rights!

With Masaichi Yoshida on the field, Shoyo's offensive formation also changed, and the classic 41 tactics were placed on the field! Shokien's defense players were forced to pull to the outside, and only Masaichi Yoshida and Takaki Akagi were left in the inside!

Fujima made a false breakthrough in the frontcourt and easily gave the ball to Yoshida's hand! Yoshida took the ball to Akagi, turned his head slightly and looked at the position of the basket, and immediately half-reincarnated hooked his hand to shoot the ball.

"Bang!"

Before Akagi could react, the basketball hit the board from Akagi's head and entered the basket!

"What?!"

Yoshida's movements were completely beyond Akagi's expectations. Akagi didn't react until the basketball entered the frame!

Shoyang was the first to open up the situation after the timeout! Yoshida shook his finger at Akagi after scoring the goal, and then returned to defense! Yoshida's ridicule made Akagi's heart full of anger. He vowed to stop Yoshida's attack and respond to his ridicule.

Xiangbei's offense revolves around Mitsui Shou. Mitsui Shou, who has full-position offensive ability, is the sharp knife that Xiangbei tear opens the Xiangyang defense line. Now, the sharp knife is facing a double defense of Fujima and his teammates.

Coach Shinmura performed his unique skill against Mitsui Sho - double-teaming. Fujima acted as a helping defense, which made the team faster and the small forward with high men and large horses stick to the defense. The defense's movements were very large, which affected Mitsui Sho's dribbling rhythm!

Fujima saw the opportunity from the side and reached out to slapped the ball. Mitsui Shou was unstable to take the ball, and the basketball was taken away by Fujima.

"Speed ​​attack!!!"

Fujima, who successfully steals, dribbles down the fast break, and the gap in the team's strength is fully reflected at this moment! Xiangbei, who was unable to return to defense in time, was formed by Shoyang in the backcourt by 4-for-1. Mitsui Shou was completely helpless in the face of Shoyang's playful pass, and could only watch the basketball enter the basket.

Less than 1 minute after the timeout, the score came to 50:50, Xiangbei was tied by Xiangyang!

"Good job! Fujima!"

The Xiangyang players who scored the goal encouraged each other, and their mentality was more relaxed when they tied the score. In contrast, Xiangbei High School, in the timeout, was tied in less than a minute, and the players' pressure suddenly increased!

A tense atmosphere filled the middle of Xiangbei players.

"Beep! Red No. 8! Foul on someone!"

With the referee's whistle, Akagi was sentenced to an offensive foul.

It turned out that Shokitan's offensive choice fell to Akagi when he was attacking! He was eager to prove that his Akagi lacked experience and his anger were angry, and he fell into the trap of Masaichi Yoshida. A fake fall at the basket prompted Akagi to get the third foul in this game!

Akagi's three fouls undoubtedly made the already disadvantaged Shobo High School worse. The accumulation of fouls made Akagi become timid while defending!

Fujima also keenly grasped Shokuo's weakness and concentrated all the offensive firepower on Masaichi Yoshida! Yoshida did not disappoint his teammates' expectations and steadily scored the ball in several attempts. Akagi's defense was useless and could not limit Yoshida's performance at all.

"hateful!"

Yoshida once again succeeded in attacking from Akagi's head! Akagi was so angry that he had nowhere to vent! Yoshida's semi-reincarnation hook-up was too difficult to defend, and Akagi had not been able to come up with any solution until now. In terms of rebounding, Akagi's judgment of the landing point was not as good as Yoshida, and Yoshida took the rebound several times!

The second half took 13 minutes and the score had reached 63:56, and Xiangyang took a huge lead.

"The first-year center in Shonobe is not good! It can't stop Yoshida at all."

"There's nothing to do! After all, it's only a first-year grade, and Yoshida is one of the best centers in the prefecture!"

The audience on the sidelines began to talk about Akagi's failure to maintain his highlight performance. Since Yoshida came on the court, Akagi has been completely suppressed in the inside, and Mitsui Shou's shooting percentage has begun to decline. Mitsui Shou failed to make several moves under defensive pressure, and there was no guarantee of rebounding. The entire offensive rhythm of Shokube High School began to chaotic.

Coach Anxi sat quietly in his seat, without calling for a pause. The glasses reflected the lights and made people unable to see his eyes clearly. No one knew what Coach Anxi was thinking now.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the situation on the field gradually became clear. With 3 minutes left in the game, Xiangyang had already scored 77 points, while Xiangbei had only a pitiful 62 points. The huge difference in points defeated the fighting spirit of Xiangbei players. Except for Akagi and Mitsui, the other players' running began to become less active.

"Coach Anxi! We Xiangyang accepted the victory in this game!"

As the situation became clear, Coach Shinmura arranged the final substitution! He replaced the third-grade players led by Yoshida and replaced the first and second-grade substitutes! Even if it was garbage time, it could give the players a good exercise. Shinmura never missed any opportunity to train and prepare players!
Chapter completed!
