The unbalanced Shinomiya brought down Jinguji Budo who was running without the ball, and the sound of the two hitting the floor touched the hearts of all the spectators. Sendō and Fujima both looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that Shinomiya Tōno and Budō failed to get up immediately, and their children shrank suddenly.
"Sendou! Fujima! Defend! Don't look around, the referee didn't blow the whistle!"
When Shinomiya Tōno and Budō fell, almost everyone's attention was on Tōno and Budō, but coach Taoka was very sober and immediately focused on Miyagi holding the ball.
However, Fujima Kenji was also caught by Miyagi Ryota while he was distracted. When Coach Tagoka reminded him, the basketball had turned into a red light and flew into Mitsui Hisashi's hands.
Unlike others on the court, the Shohoku High School players who were lagging behind were not paying attention to Budo and Tanano at the moment. For Mitsui Hisashi and the others, what they had to do was to seize every opportunity to score a goal. Opportunity!
In front of Sendō, Hisashi Mitsui shot directly from a position one meter outside the three-point line. His eyes were firm and he had a confident smile on his face. This smile was not only confident, but also calm. Being 11 points behind didn't put any so-called pressure on him at all.
82:90.
“In!
Three point shot! Hisashi Mitsui's three-pointer! "
"Nice shot! Mitsui!"
Amazing cheers erupted from the stands, and the crisp sound of net brushing drew the audience's attention back to the stadium.
Jinguji Martial Arts put his hands on the ground, lowered his head and looked at the floor. His eyes were dark, and the strong dizziness made him have the urge to retching. Martial Arts has not experienced the discomfort of exhaustion of physical energy for who knows how long.
The cheers of the audience reached his ears. Wu Dao raised his head and looked in the direction of the scoreboard. The score difference was reduced to 8 points. There was still 1 minute and 57 seconds left. In terms of time, there was still a chance!
"Hehe...hehe..."
"I'm really... dragged down by this guy like you!"
"You bastard!"
Wu Dao supported the ground and wanted to stand up, but his body was soft and he couldn't stand up at all. The condition of Shinomiya Tōno was not much better than that of Martial Arts. It was even worse than Martial Arts. He lay sprawled on the ground, breathing heavily. Hearing Martial Arts' words, he grinned.
"In this game, we, Lingnan, must win!" Shinomiya covered his eyes with his hands. The brightness of the spotlights in the stadium was a bit dazzling, and his eyes were not very comfortable being illuminated.
"..." Budo didn't answer, and looked at Mitsui Hisashi and Miyagi who were walking towards him to help him, with a smile on his face.
"Hey, are you okay, Budo?" Mitsui Hisashi walked to Budo's side, bent down and supported Budo's arm. His strength alone was not enough. Miyagi San supported Budo's other arm, and the two of them worked together. Help Wu Dao up.
"It's okay, but the next step is up to you!" Xiangbei's substitutes had already rushed into the court. At this time, Shinomiya Tano had also been helped up by Lingnan's players.
The game also entered the official timeout at this time.
"What do you mean..." Mitsui Shou looked at the fatigue on Martial Arts' face, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart, and he asked with some uncertainty.
"As you can see, I can't stay on the court for the rest of the game."
"But you don't have to worry too much, that guy is pretty much the same as me."
Martial Arts grinned. At this time, Shinomiya Tano was surrounded by a group of people from Lingnan. They were asking for help, but judging from the appearance of the other party, there should be no way to support the next game.
"..." Mitsui Shou looked solemn, turned his head and took a closer look at Shinomiya's condition, knowing that there was nothing wrong with martial arts. But his face did not look happy because Shinomiya Tano could not hold up the game either.
The aces of both teams have exhausted their physical strength. For Lingnan, this is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing!
Because, in terms of bench depth, their Lingnan High School is much more solid than Xiangbei!
"Budo... let's take a rest. Let Tsunoda take your place in the next game." At this time, Coach Anzai had already dismissed the crowd around Budo and walked into the field. Looking at the state of Budo, Shen Sheng made the choice of substitution.
"Sorry, Coach Anzai."
Budo murmured and turned to look at Tsunoda. Seeing Tsunoda's nervous look, he stretched out his arm and patted the opponent's shoulder. The weak palm patted Tsunoda's body, causing the originally nervous Tsunoda to suddenly tremble. , looking at Martial Arts, the trembling of his body stopped.
"Come on, Tsunoda."
"Don't give up, follow Hisashi Mitsui and hit back one ball after another. There is still a chance!"
After Budo finished speaking, he went to the rest area with the help of his teammates. At the same time, Lingnan High School also made a substitution choice. Shinomiya Tano was also substituted, and his replacement was a tall and powerful man. The game ended in a draw, and at the decisive moment, Yoshio Fukuda also came off the field, and Hanagata returned to the court.
At this time, the lineup of Lingnan High School is strictly speaking, three majors and two minors. Center Uozumi, power forward Hanataru, overlapping positions, also power forward Guan Ping, and guard Fujima plus small forward Sendō.
The average height of the team is already over 190cm.
On the Shohoku side, because Konobu Kigure was forced off the field before, coach Anzai didn't consider the opponent at all when he replaced Budo. The players on the court now are young players led by Hisashi Mitsui.
Hisashi Mitsui, Takenori Akagi, Oishi Chiba, Ryota Miyagi and Satoru Tsunoda who just came on stage.
In terms of defensive arrangements, coach Anzai made no adjustments at all. He just arranged for Tsunoda Satoru to keep an eye on Kanpei, who had just come on the field. Shohoku still maintained the original defensive strategy.
It's not that Coach Anzai doesn't want to make any targeted adjustments, it's just that the current lineup conditions of Shohoku High School don't allow him to make imaginative adjustments.
In Coach Anzai's view, the moment Jinguji Budo walked off the court, Shohoku High School had already lost the possibility of victory.
Yes, Coach Anzai also knows that Mitsui Hisashi is very good. Before Jinguji Martial Arts entered Shohoku High School, the person who supported Shohoku's offensive end was Mitsui Hisashi. But it is precisely because coach Anzai knows Hisashi Mitsui and his abilities that he does not believe that Hisashi Mitsui can lead Shohoku to victory.
Of course, in this case, Coach Anxi was just thinking about it in his heart, and it was impossible to say it with his mouth. What he gave to the players was still encouragement, encouraging the players not to give up.
"Unexpectedly, both Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tanos ended up due to exhaustion of physical strength. It's really ugly!"
"The players of Sanwang will not be in such an embarrassment. Lingnan actually played like this with a team of this level and was able to defeat Sanwang. They are really lucky!"
In the stands, some spectators looked at Jinguji Budo and Shinomiya Tano who were being helped off the court by the team members, with expressions of gloating on their faces. They were supporters of Sanno, and they had always been worried about Sanno's loss to Lingnan. Similarly, they were also very angry at Shinomiya Tano, the man who led the team to defeat the Sanno whom he was optimistic about.
In front of this audience, a red-haired boy couldn't help but his ears stood up when he heard these words, and his body twitched slightly. Beside him, Mito Yohei, Takamiya Nozomi and others all turned their heads and looked over. Their eyes exuded a strong murderous aura, which startled the audience member, who decisively chose to shut up.
Seeing that the other party didn't talk nonsense anymore, Yohei turned around and patted Sakuragi on the shoulder, comforting him: "Hanamichi, calm down."
After saying this, Yohei whispered in Sakuragi's ear: "Haruko is still here."
Yohei's comfort was of no use, but the name "Haruko" made Sakuragi suddenly calm down. Hanamichi turned to look at Haruko's worried expression, forced a smile on his face, and comforted Haruko and said:
"Haruko, don't worry, Shobei will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory."
"Isn't your brother still here in Xiangbei? The gorilla will definitely have a way."
"Don't worry, Haruko."
Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn't find anything to say to comfort Haruko. His comfort seemed a bit lame, and even a layman couldn't be fooled.
Akagi? Akagi has been severely suppressed by Uozumi and Hanagata in this game. Not to mention taking the initiative to attack, he has also completely fallen behind in the competition for rebounds. The reason why he stays on the court is only because of his defense. Also, there is no replacement player for Shohoku.
"Thank you, Sakuragi."
"But...but Xiangbei."
Haruko didn't finish her words. She knew football and had watched a lot of football. Haruko knew clearly that Shohoku still lost its biggest comeback point. She couldn't imagine Shohoku turning defeat into victory.
In the court, the players from Lingnan and Shohoku returned to the court. The ball was owned by Lingnan High School. Kenji Fujima, who received the serve from his teammate in the backcourt, slowed down the pace of advancement.
"Don't be impatient. We have a huge advantage. The game lasts less than two minutes. Play steadily and score every goal!"
"The situation is favorable to us!" Teng Zhen was not impatient and was completely planning to attack as soon as possible. Their attack time in Lingnan was thirty seconds, and their lead was eight points. If every ball was played to the fullest, , there are only three rounds of attack and defense at most in this time, and Lingnan, as long as they grasp it well, they will not lose!
"Press the whole court! Grab the ball! Miyagi, press up!" Hisashi Mitsui obviously knew that time was extremely tight for Shohoku, and he didn't want Fujima to waste time, so he immediately led his team to press forward. .
Upon seeing this, Fujima threw the ball to Sendō before Miyagi came. At this moment, Fujima didn't want to take risks and chose the safest way to play.
Sendō, who received the ball, quickly dribbled the ball across the center line, and then he was not in a hurry. He did not get closer to the three-pointer with the ball, waiting for Uozumi and others to position themselves inside. At this moment, Mitsui Hisashi came to him and without any explanation, started to steal the ball.
Sendō was unlucky and easily dodged Mitsui's steal, but Mitsui Shou, who couldn't make a single hit, pressed forward, compressing Sendō's dribbling space, making Sendō quite uncomfortable.
"The defense is very active, and the movements are still agile. Mitsui Hisashi's physical fitness is not bad." Sendao instantly judged Mitsui Hisashi's state, and he raised the ball and wanted to give the ball to the ball.
"Don't even think about it!" Sendō's passing intention was seen through by Hisashi Mitsui. He raised his hand, and Hisashi Mitsui slapped the basketball directly, abruptly breaking the ball from Sendō's hand.
"Oops!" Xiandao Tongkong shrank suddenly, turned around and grabbed the basketball.
The basketball flew out, Mitsui Hisashi jumped down, jumped to the ground, and threw the ball directly under him. At the same time, Miyagi Ryota quickly approached to receive the ball. Without any hesitation, Mitsui Hisashi passed the ball directly.
Mitsui Hisashi who fell to the ground quickly got up from the ground and started running directly. At this moment, the basketball was already taken over the center line by Miyagi.
There was a sudden change on the court, but Jinguji Budo couldn't even raise his head to watch the game at this moment. His head was covered with a sweat towel, and he was hunched over with his head lowered. He was sitting on the bench, sweat oozing out from his eyes. Pillars of sweat gathered on his body, flowing down under the influence of gravity.
"Damn it...Damn it!"
"I'm actually in such embarrassment, bastard! Bastard!"
Jinguji Martial Arts put his hands on his knees and unconsciously made them into fists, but he really didn't have much strength, and the fists couldn't be held firmly.
"That Shinomiya Tōno is really a terrifying player. He was able to force martial arts into such a situation."
"In the second half, Wu Dao didn't have any outstanding performance. That player was able to persist for eighteen minutes using close defense against Wu Dao and forcefully defeated Wu Dao. It's really terrifying physical fitness."
"Since this kid joined Xiangbei, this is the first time I've seen martial arts suffer from physical exhaustion."
"You must be very remorseful now. If you are still physically strong at this time, there must be no way to stop Lingnan High School from losing Shinomiya Tano."
While Coach Anxi was paying attention to the situation on the court, he also focused a little on martial arts. He saw the fist that Budo wanted to clenched but couldn't. Coach Anxi knew that Jinguji Budo must be very unwilling to do so.
"Whoa!" A soft sound came from the field, and Coach Anxi withdrew his gaze and looked at the court.
The numbers on the scoreboard jumped. The score of the two teams reached 85:90, and the remaining time became 1 minute and 36 seconds.
Hisashi Mitsui succeeded in a fast break three-pointer, and quickly returned to defense with the cheers of the audience and substitute players off the court. His score finally attracted the attention of the Lingnan players again. Fujima and Sendao made a quick decision with just a simple eye contact.
It was still Lingnan's time-suppressing attack. This time, everyone in Lingnan did not make any low-level mistakes. Xiandao and Fujima worked together to jam the attack time. When the time jumped to 1 minute and 07 seconds, Xiandao took the mid-range shot.
Sendō is also one of those key players. He made a time-stuck emergency jump shot and successfully sent the ball into the net in front of Hisashi Mitsui. The score of the two teams was refreshed again, reaching 85:92, and the point difference was back to 7 points.
"As long as Immortal Dao is there and Teng Zhen doesn't lose his cool, Lingnan will never lose!"
"If it were in the past, I would never have used all my physical energy on defense, and in the end, the victory or defeat would all rest on my teammates."
"But... Jinguji Martial Arts, as long as I can defeat you and defeat your Shohoku, I am willing to be the one who supports my teammates in the dark!"
"Cheers, applause, boasts, honors, I don't need any of these!"
"As long as I can win! As long as I can win!"
Shinomiya Tano tried hard to raise his head. Although he was tired, there was still a smile on his face, and his eyes were bright and firm. Although he was unable to cheer for Immortal Dao and the others, he knew that Lingnan would be able to win soon!
"Uh-huh!"
However, the next second, with a soft sound, Shinomiya's smile froze on his face.
During the transition between offense and defense, Shohoku High School counterattacked with a fast break.
Mitsui Hisashi who received the ball directly took the ball from the top of the arc and shot it. This ball, against Sendō's defense and Fujima Kenji's defense, steadily sent the ball into the net, and the score came to 88:92.
The time has only gone by for 7 seconds, and there is still 1 minute left in the game, a full 60 seconds.
Mitsui Hisashi's three-pointer also raised the hearts of the Lingnan players.
