Jinguji Budo, Mitsui Hisao and others walked towards the rest area. On the way back, Budo was still thinking about how to deal with Sendo in the second half.
His personal physical exertion has been very huge. If he still uses the same high-intensity single defense as before, his physical strength will definitely not be able to sustain him for the entire second half. Adjusting the defensive strategy is already a must.
However, when Budo, Hisashi Mitsui and others returned to the rest area, Masayoshi Anzai's words turned all his thoughts into fantasy.
"Thank you for your hard work. You guys did a great job."
"Get some rest."
"Jinguji, you don't have to play in the second half, just take a good rest here!"
The players from Takeishi Middle School walked back to the rest area, and the substitutes enthusiastically gave towels and water to the starting players. Martial Arts had just received the water from a member of the same level when he heard Masayoshi Anzai say this.
This sudden decision made Wu Dao stunned for a moment. He froze in place and put down the water glass he had just put to his mouth.
Anxi Zhengyi's decision was too sudden, and Wu Dao did not expect such a situation at all.
Didn't he defend so hard in the first half just to show Masayoshi Anzai? The efforts he made were just to stay on the court and play, instead of being a cheerleader or sitting on the bench as a substitute. Watch other people play.
Wu Dao turned back to look at Anxi Zhengyi, his eyes were full of confusion, and a stomach of resentment was stuck in his throat. However, when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know which sentence to choose.
"Coach, why didn't Wu Dao play in the second half?"
"His performance on the court was very good, and the opponent's No. 13 was also restricted very well."
"Although the buzzer-beating goal just now was a bit unexpected, I can see the strength of No. 13. The martial arts can do this, which is already very outstanding."
"Even if Taro Toyokawa is allowed to play, he may not be able to do better than martial arts. Why should he be replaced?"
Martial Arts hadn't spoken yet, but Mitsui Shou over there walked directly to Martial Arts and said. Hearing that Masayoshi Anzai was about to substitute Budo, Mitsui Hisashi's reaction was even greater than Budo's. At this time, Mitsui Hisashi didn't even give face to his old teammate Toyokawa Taro and said bluntly.
"Hey, hey, hey~" Taro Toyokawa spread his hands helplessly when he saw that he was lying on the gun. Although Mitsui Hisashi's words made him a little unhappy, Toyokawa Taro was not angry at all. He had a clear understanding of his own strength. If it were him, he would never be able to guard against the number 13 of the pink team.
Mitsui Hisashi's words just now somewhat saved him some face.
What does "you may not be able to do better than martial arts"? There is absolutely no way he can restrain the opponent like martial arts.
"Mitsui, don't get excited."
Jinguji Budo looked at Mitsui Hisashi who was standing in front of him, standing up for him, and he would be lying if he said he was not moved. But Budo is somewhat more mature than the current Mitsui Hisashi, and he knows how stupid it is for players to conflict with coaches, so he patted Mitsui Hisashi on the shoulder, walked out from behind Mitsui, looked at Anzai Masayoshi with a burning gaze, and said:
"Coach, I don't understand!"
All team members' eyes suddenly focused on Anxi Masayoshi, and others also wanted to know why Anxi Masayoshi made such a decision.
"Hey!"
"Boy, don't worry, sit down first."
Anxi Zhengyi looked at the young man with burning eyes in front of him, with a smile on his face, patted the empty seat next to him, and said. At Anxi Zhengyi's signal, Budao sat down next to him. The other team members also stood silently behind Anxi Zhengyi and Budao, or sat beside them, listening carefully with their ears open. .
"Don't you understand? Why did you play well in the first half, but I didn't let you play in the second half?"
"Actually, this is to give you more opportunities to stay on the court in the future."
Anxi Zhengyi didn't care about the sweat on Budao's body at all. He directly put his right hand around Budao's shoulder and whispered.
"Although you only played for more than ten minutes, I can see that you have put in a lot of energy to guard against No. 13."
"To maintain that kind of defense in the second half, you can't do it with your current physical strength."
"I'm not the only one who knows this. I think your opponent should know it better."
"This game is just a practice match after all. I don't want you to expose your physical limit too early. This will be detrimental to our future games!"
Anxi Zhengyi said to himself, turned his head, looked at the rest area on the other side, and continued:
"Akiyuki Affiliated High School has two purposes for playing a practice match with us this time. On the one hand, it is to allow their players to accumulate experience and adapt to the intensity of the competition in advance. On the other hand, it is to explore the strength of each team in Kanagawa Prefecture."
"They will definitely be able to enter the national competition this year. The expedition is just a preview of the national competition."
"Similarly, I am extremely convinced that our Wushi can conquer the country this year, and you are the key to our success!"
"You haven't exposed much in this game, and only a few people can see your physical problems, but your individual defense ability is enough to attract the attention of all teams."
"It's not appropriate to stay on the field until your offensive deficiencies are exposed."
When Anxi Zhengyi said this, he couldn't help but smile on his face.
"People all have inertia of thinking. If a player is strong defensively, will his offense also be strong?"
"After this game, the reputation of the pink team's No. 13 will spread throughout the Kanagawa area, and you who successfully restricted him in the first half will also arouse the vigilance of other teams."
"At that time, Mitsui's offensive pressure will be indirectly shared by you!"
"Those teams won't leave you alone!"
Anxi Zhengyi Balabala said so much, but Wu Dao didn't really understand Anxi Zhengyi's intention until this moment. Akizuki Affiliated High School's expedition in Kanagawa Prefecture was a success. Sendō's strength must have been known to the Kanagawa team for a long time.
Takeishi Middle School also had a newcomer who restricted the opponent in the match against Akizuki High School. When other Kanagawa teams learn about martial arts, they will attach great importance to martial arts and will send strong defensive players during the game.
To put it bluntly, it is to let martial arts masters.
In this way, Takeshi's real main attacker Mitsui Hisashi will have a more comfortable space to play. Masayoshi Anzai has already forgotten the outcome of the training match. He doesn't care about the outcome in front of him. His eyes are already looking at the county competition in a few months, and even the national competition.
"Coach, I understand."
Martial Arts nodded, making it clear, but his mood would not get much better. He doesn't care about strategic things, he just wants to have more opportunities to play on the court.
He knew that Anxi Zhengyi made this decision because his personal strength in martial arts was not strong enough. If martial arts was strong enough, why did Anxi Zhengyi need to disguise him as a master? Wouldn't it be better to directly defeat Immortal Dao?
"Coach, I have something to do at home. I will not participate in the rest of today's training. I will participate in training on time tomorrow."
Wu Dao stood up, holding his own water glass in his hand, and walked silently towards the entrance of the arena. Since he has no chance to play in the second half, there is no need for him to stay here. If he has this time, it is better to do more training.
"Budao?" Mitsui Hisashi saw that Budo was about to leave and wanted to call him back, but Masayoshi Anzai grabbed Mitsui and said:
"No need to call him, he needs some time."
"He will adjust his mentality, I believe in him!"
Anxi Zhengyi looked at Wu Dao's leaving figure and said with a smile.
"Hey, Xiandao, the person who guarded you before walked out of the gym!" Wu Dao left at this time, which obviously attracted some people's attention. No. 4 from Qiuyue High School noticed it, patted Xiandao on the shoulder, and signaled.
"Maybe it was because he went to the toilet. He is a good opponent. Although he was restrained by him in the first half, I will try my best to defeat him in the second half!"
Xiandao glanced at Wu Dao who was leaving and didn't care.
"Really? But there are toilets in the venue!"
"It seems like he really left."
