Chapter 337 The stormy three-pointer at the decisive moment
The match between Xiangbei and Hainan has entered its final moments. Hainan High School has obtained the offensive ball rights, and the scores of the two teams are temporarily stuck, Xiangbei High School is only two points ahead.
As long as Hainan can seize this offensive opportunity, Hainan will be able to tie the score. However, Gaosa's exhausted exit made Hainan lack a strong inside line that can compete with Akagi Takaki, which is not good news for Hainan. Compared with Hainan today, Xiangbei's combat power has been preserved quite well.
Except for the four fouls by Akagi Takaki, which is a hidden danger, the other players did not affect their remaining two minutes of game, whether in terms of physical strength or mental state. Mitsui Shou was replenishing water off the court, and at this time, Mitsui Shou didn't dare to drink too much, but just took a sip and put it in his mouth, and swallowed it for a long time.
The match with Mushiichiichi consumed a lot of physical strength. Mushiichiichi is a physical monster with strong strength and fast speed. In order to be able to compete with Mushiichi, Mitsui had to increase physical confrontation and create an offensive opportunity for himself, which also gave him physical energy consumption far exceeds other games.
The official time-out time passed quickly, and the players of the two teams returned to the court again. Xiangbei replaced Miyagi Liangda and replaced the physically fitted Ki Mu Mu Gongyan. Hainan also replaced the exhausted Takasaki Ichima and the short Miyasui Yoshimo, and replaced the unknown substitute center and Muto Masashi. Muto was also arranged by Coach Takato to enhance the strength of the inside.
In other words, Hainan's offensive point suddenly changed from a five-man offense to a three-man offense, only Mushiichi, Ichiro Shenzong and Nobunaga Kiyoda currently have stable scoring abilities. The other two players who were replaced on the court were not very stable in scoring abilities. At such a critical moment, Coach Takato obviously trusted Mushiichi and others more.
Xiangbei's players went back to their half and started defending. After Hainan served on the sideline, Mushen took the ball with the ball to organize the attack.
"Come on! Keep this ball well, we Xiangbei will win!" Mitsui Shou stood at the top of the arc of his field, opened his hands and shouted to his players. With Mitsui Shou's shouting, a uniform slogan "Defense, defense." came from the audience seats on Xiangbei.
Even at this time, Mu Shin-ichi was not impatient at all and controlled the basketball in an orderly manner. At the same time, he was also looking for a suitable offensive opportunity. For Mu Shin-ichi, it was not difficult to break through Mitsui Shou's defense, but he wanted to maximize the benefits of every goal. At this time, Mu Shin-ichi hoped to seduce Akagi Takaki's foul.
"It's really a difficult opponent!" Mu Shin broke through as soon as he dropped the ball. It took nearly ten seconds to start attacking. The rapid movement made Mitsui Shou, who had consumed a lot of energy, unable to keep up, but when Mitsui Shou lost his position, Rukawa Kaede had already made up from the side. Mu Shin-kei, who quickly approached Rukawa Kaede, quickly turned around, and at this moment, the basketball was transmitted from Mu Shin-kei's hand.
Kiyoda Nobunaga received the pass, adjusted his posture and made a mid-range shot. Unfortunately, he seemed a little nervous at this time. His hands trembled, but the basketball failed to score and collapsed directly.
"Opportunity!" Mitsui Sho yelled, and the three men from Xiangbei started to make a fast attack. Rukawa Kaede, Ki Mu Kyonaga, and Katsumiichiro didn't even look at the ball, but started to get off quickly. Mitsui Sho rushed into the inside line in two steps and three steps, while Maki Shinichi also rushed into the inside line to prepare for rebounds. Although several people from Hainan were very active in grabbing the board, Akagi Takaki occupied the best position! He held the ball in his arms.
"Akagi! Passing the ball." Mitsui Shou did not widen the distance, but immediately ran to Akagi's side to meet him. The distance was actually a chance to steal Hainan.
Mitsui Shou got the basketball from the crowd and burst out all the strength and ran to the front court with all his strength. Mushiichi's pursuit was extremely fast, and Mushiichi caught up with Mitsui Shou near the center line. Mitsui Shou dribbled the ball from behind and nimbled away Mushiichi's first steal. After moving forward for a while, Mushiichi's adjustment approached again and again.
This time Mitsui Shou was already unavoidable and hurriedly gave the ball to Rukawa Kaede in the frontcourt. Because he was far away from Rukawa Kaede, he chose to hang high when passing the ball, which also made Hainan's chasing and defense players look forward to it. Kiyoda Nobunaga tried hard to chase the basketball. When the basketball began to fall, he had already appeared behind Rukawa Kaede jumped high, wanting to intercept the basketball.
However, Rukawa Kaede's height is much taller than Kiyoda Nobunaga. Rukawa Kaede, who was prepared for it, got the ball, but he did not choose to attack by himself, but quickly passed the ball to Katsumiichiro who had already landed and was waiting.
"Nani?" Both Kiyoda Nobunaga or Makishichi were shocked at this moment. They did not expect that Rukawa Kaede would choose to pass the ball without an empty basket. This was simply incredible.
"Send beautifully!" Katsumiichiro, who was receiving the ball, chuckled, raised his hand and threw the basketball out. He had been aiming for a long time, and the basketball fell into the net under the gaze of Hainan players. The scores of the two teams arrived, and the gap widened to five points.
"here you go!!"
“Beautiful cast!”
The players of Xiangbei were excited. Katsumiichiro's three-pointer could be said to have laid the foundation for Xiangbei's victory to a certain extent. However, they were not happy for a long time. Hainan quickly launched a fast attack. After Mushi pushed Mitsui Shou, he made a quick stop and jump shot, and the difference returned to 3 points.
Hainan is lagging behind and every attack is fast, while Xiangbei, the leading side, deliberately delays the attack. However, in order to increase the chance of steals, Hainan used the full-game pressing at this time. The spread-out high-pressure defense from the front court to the back court put a lot of pressure on Xiangbei.
However, such a tactic may be useful for ordinary teams, and it is not enough for Xiangbei. Basketball came to the frontcourt with the cooperation of Katsumiichiro, Mitsui Shou and Rukawa Kaede. Moreover, due to the pressure of the whole game, Hainan's defense line was a little loose. Basketball was finally given to Kotoyoshi Ki.
It may be that Hainan moved all the focus of defense to Mitsui Shou, Rukawa Kaede and Katsumiichiro at the last moment, and no one defended the situation in front of Mu Mu Kyū. Mu Kyū, who received the pass, stared at the basket and shot a sure-fire goal!
With the basketball entered the net, with one minute left in the game, the scores of the two teams came. After the goal, Mu Mu-Kongyan didn't have time to be happy, and began to return to defense in the roar of Mitsui Shou.
At this time, Mitsui Shou stared at Makishichi with all his might, and Rukawa Maki let go of Kiyoda Nobunaga at this moment, and watched Katsumiichiro Shinto. Hainan, which was compressed, was finally attacked in a hurry, but Makishichi was Makishichi, and even in this state, he successfully scored the ball.
With fifty seconds left in the game, Xiangbei dragged the offensive time desperately, and the game time passed by Xiangbei's delay. At the last moment, Mitsui Sho forced a shot against Maki Shinchi's defense. The moment the basketball collapsed, Akagi got the rebound by the basket.
Akagi, who had the ball, immediately passed it out, and at this time, Mitsui Shou had already run out of the open position. Mitsui Shou, who received the ball in the open position, made a three-pointer under the gaze of everyone.
"Hainan, lost."
The moment Mitsui Sho made a shot, Tian Ye knew that Hainan had lost the possibility of a comeback, and sighed and closed his eyes slightly.
Chapter completed!
