Shinomiya's foul successfully stopped the timer on the side of the court.
With 13 seconds left before the end of the game, the score of the two teams reached 102:103, and Xiangbei High School was still 1 point behind its opponent.
Shinomiya's foul successfully stopped Jinguji Budo who was about to attack the Lingnan defense line.
Since Lingnan High School controls fouls very well, after Shinomiya's foul, the number of fouls committed by the team still did not exceed the number. In addition, Shinomiya's foul was relatively decisive. Although the movement range was large, the referee did not give a flagrant foul.
Xiangbei High School just got a chance to get a ball from the frontcourt.
This serve from Xiangbei is an opportunity for Lingnan High School.
Defend Xiangbei and control the basketball. As long as they can do these two things, victory will be in Lingnan's bag.
"pass it to me!"
Just when Jinguji Budo took the ball to the sideline and prepared to serve, Hisashi Mitsui hurried to Rukawa Kaede's side, took Rukawa Kaede's arm, and said to Rukawa Kaede.
At this time, Rukawa Kaede was preparing to approach the sideline to catch the ball. At this time, Mitsui Hisashi pulled him back and looked at Mitsui. The confusion on his face disappeared in an instant.
Don’t trust yourself?
Rukawa Kaede's first reaction was definitely this, but this thought quickly disappeared.
Mitsui Hisashi and Rukawa Kaede are, strictly speaking, the same type of people, but now the third-year Mitsui Hisashi is more mature on the court.
Hisashi Mitsui is also a proud person, but his pride must be put aside when facing the interests of the team.
Does Mitsui Hisashi not trust Rukawa Kaede? Obviously not, it's just that compared to Rukawa Kaede, Mitsui Hisashi just trusts himself more.
At this time, Mitsui Hisashi feels that taking the ball by himself will be more beneficial to the team!
Just as Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Hisashi were alternating positions, Jinguji Budo had also walked to the side of the court and took the basketball from the referee's hands.
Shinomiya stood one meter away from Martial Arts, turned around to look at the situation on both sides behind him, and then looked back at Jinguji Martial Arts.
He raised his hands high and jumped up and down, blocking the view of Jinguji Martial Arts.
When Jinguji Budo saw Mitsui Hisashi approaching him, he realized what Mitsui Hisashi was planning to do. However, although he wanted to pass the ball to Mitsui Hisashi, Sendō and Mitsui Hisashi followed closely. Such a pass, There is a high probability that it will be intercepted by Hisashi Mitsui.
Compared with Mitsui Hisashi, Rukawa Kaede who is further away will be a better receiving point.
Because the physical fitness of Kenji Fujima who is guarding Rukawa Kaede is quite different from Rukawa Kaede. For Shohoku, this can be taken advantage of.
"Huh~~~"
The basketball flew out of Jinguji Budo's hands and threw it directly towards Rukawa Kaede in the distance. Budo's passing arc was very high. When Budo passed the ball, both Rukawa Kaede and Fujima raised their hands. He looked towards the basketball.
After making the pass, Budo quickly entered the court. After a hasty exchange of glances with Hisashi Mitsui, he quickly cut inside.
"Snapped!"
Soon, the basketball was held in the hands of Rukawa Kaede, who jumped high. The moment he took the basketball, Rukawa Kaede saw Mitsui Hisashi running towards him quickly, and shouted anxiously:
"Pass the ball to me quickly!"
The figures of Hisashi Mitsui and Kaede Rukawa quickly crossed each other. As the figures crossed each other, the basketball was handed over to Mitsui Hisashi's hands.
Mitsui Hisashi who took the ball quickly stopped. After a fake move of sweeping the ball in the direction, he quickly dropped the ball and changed direction, easily passed Sendou's defense, and then directly got a big open space. There were 10 seconds left in the attack time, and Mitsui got the open space. Shou had no intention of shooting.
After passing Sendō Akira, Mitsui Hisashi had no intention of rushing forward. After an emergency stop, he continued to dribble under his hips to adjust the rhythm. He had no intention of seizing the time to attack.
"Xiangbei wants to press for time!"
"Don't give them a chance! Press on me!"
"Double-team Mitsui Hisashi! Double-team!"
"Watch Jinguji Martial Arts and don't let Jinguji Martial Arts take advantage of any loopholes."
When Coach Taoka saw Mitsui Hisashi's ball control rhythm, he immediately realized what Mitsui Hisashi was planning to do and immediately roared.
In the court, Jinguji Budo just touched the inside and quickly ran towards the outside. Shinomiya took a quick look at Mitsui Hisashi who was controlling the ball, and then focused on Jinguji Budo. .
No need to guess, there is only one person from Xiangbei High School who will execute this final attack!
That is the Jinguji Martial Arts in front of you!
He followed Jinguji Budo closely to the outside line. At this time, Jinguji Budo had also reached the corner on the left, and at the same time, he successfully received the basketball from Mitsui Hisashi's hand.
8 seconds.
Jinguji Budo just glanced at the timer on the scoreboard, then breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up and dropped the ball and walked slowly towards the corner on the right.
"Come! Jinguji Martial Arts!"
Seeing this scene, Shinomiya's expression became condensed. He slammed his hands on the floor, gathered his shorts with both hands, lowered his focus and quickly followed the martial arts with crab steps.
After dribbling the ball to the corner on the right, Jinguji Budo also stopped, changed his rhythm, and moved the basketball back and forth with his hands in advance, looking at the Shinomiya field in front of him.
At this time, the Xiangbei players on the inside have also opened up a bit.
Sakuragi Hanamichi went to the 45° angle on the left side of the paint area, which is one of the places where he can shoot most accurately at this distance. While helping Budao open up the defenders, Sakuragi Hanamichi was also ready to catch the ball and shoot.
Takenori Akagi's handling was much more straightforward and decisive. After seeing Budo get the ball and seeing the attack time pass quietly, he also knew what Jinguji Budo was planning to do, so he left the inside line directly and went along the sideline. Right.
Uozumi saw Akagi leaving the inside and ignored the opponent. He knew that Shohoku's attack would never let Akagi shoot in that position.
Most likely, it was executed by Jinguji Martial Arts.
However, the defensive choices of Lingnan's inside players cannot be applied to the outside. Both Mitsui Hisashi and Rukawa Kaede have excellent offensive abilities with the ball. At this time, Lingnan does not dare to bet on whether Jinguji Martial Arts will be good. Choose to pass.
Therefore, the best defensive option is not to leave the ball open.
Sendō and Fujima ran with their teammates.
The time for the attack also passed quietly for 4 seconds.
With five seconds left in the remaining time, Jinguji Budo finally made a move. His dribbling range suddenly increased, and his feet were slightly floating. At the moment the ball dropped, Jinguji Budo's body swayed greatly, and he quickly accelerated after the inout. , directly across the Shinomiya field.
The concentrated Shinomiya Tōno had already stepped up to follow up the moment his opponent accelerated, and his body directly pressed against the martial arts body. The huge force forcefully suppressed the speeding up Jinguji martial arts and contained it. Martial arts speed up.
Then Shinomiya Tano also spotted the position of the basketball and directly started to steal it.
However, just when Shinomiya was about to catch the basketball, Jinguji Budo, who was forced to stop, suddenly turned around and the steal opportunity that was right in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Shinomiya Tano reacted quickly, took a step back and quickly got stuck in front of Jinguji Budo.
He probably knew what Jinguji Budo was going to do. The difference between the two teams was only one point. Xiangbei only needs to score one more goal to complete the victory. At this time, most people will choose to settle for two points!
At the moment when Shinomiya was pursuing the pursuit, Jinguji Budo, who turned around, did not use this turn to quickly pass Jinguji Budo, and actually ran quickly towards the three-point line with the ball.
Seeing Jinguji Budou's action, not to mention Shinomiya's body froze, all the audience's eyes were focused on Jinguji Budou, their faces full of astonishment.
"Three three points!!!"
Coach Taoka roared loudly, pointing at Jinguji Budo and yelling. At this time, Jinguji Budo quickly dribbled the ball out of the three-point line without any pause. After blasting the ball, he grabbed the ball with both hands and moved with his body. Turn, it was actually a direct fadeaway jumper.
Shinomiya hurriedly pursued the defense, but his defensive choice was completely wrong. At this moment, even if he wanted to make up for it, it was already too late. The bounce and height of Jinguji Budo meant that if the defender once judged If you make a mistake, you will never have the chance to seal Jinguji Budo.
The basketball passed Shinomiya's fingertips and flew directly towards the basket.
At this moment, the whole court was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the basketball. The basketball flew over the basket, and the sharp final whistle sounded. As the whistle sounded, the basketball also fell quickly, and then stabbed into the ball. There was a crisp squeaking sound in the basket net.
The referee at the bottom line held up three fingers and suddenly pressed down when the basketball entered the net, indicating that the goal was valid.
“ohhhhhh!!!!!”
After a brief silence, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who had already run to the basket, was the first to react. He raised his hands and shouted loudly. His shouts also inspired the other players in Shohoku. Takenori Akagi also waved his arms excitedly and rushed towards Jinguji Martial Arts while shouting wildly.
"Win win!!"
"Won!!!!!"
"It's a sure kill! It's us in Xiangbei who win!"
“ohhhhhh!!”
On the side of the court, the substitute players from Xiangbei also reacted and cheered directly. Kiyota Nobunaga and others couldn't restrain their excitement at all, and rushed directly into the stadium, directly towards Jinguji Martial Arts, shouting wildly, and rushed towards Jinguji Martial Arts.
"Won!!!"
In the blink of an eye, several team members were hanging on Jinguji Budo's body. Only then did Jinguji Budo's muscles relax completely. Amidst the cheers of his teammates, he couldn't help but roar.
The Xiangbei players rushed into the court, white towels scattered all over the floor.
The Lingnan players didn't seem to realize what was happening until now. They stood there one by one, looking blankly at the Xiangbei players hugging each other, as if they didn't know they had lost.
Coach Taoka on the court turned his head and glanced at the scoreboard, and his breathing became extremely heavy, as if he could not accept this reality.
After standing for a long time, Coach Tianoka took a deep breath. His body seemed to have lost support and he sat down on the bench.
Aida Hikoichi's sobs reached Coach Tagoka's ears, and his cries immediately filled the bench.
In the stadium, Uozumi's face was blank, tears flowed out of his eyes unconsciously, mixed with sweat, gathered on his chin, and dripped on the floor.
Sendao looked at Jinguji Martial Arts who was supported by the Shohoku team members in the center. After taking a deep breath, he raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
The spotlight was a bit dazzling, making Xiandao unable to open his eyes.
Hana Xingtou lowered his head in silence, and his glasses had become blurry at some point.
Kenji Fujima's eyes widened slightly and his body trembled slightly. After standing quietly on the ground for a long time, Kenji Fujima closed his eyes and listened to the cheers of the Shohoku players and the cheers of the audience in the stands. He just felt that This venue is really too noisy.
Shinomiya gasped quickly, his chest heaved violently, and there was unwillingness and anger on his face. He lowered his head and looked at his palms. Shinomiya suddenly clenched his fist, and then smashed it on the floor.
"Boom!!!"
The sudden movement immediately attracted the attention of some Lingnan players. Looking at Shinomiya's position, he saw Shinomiya clenching his fists and hitting the floor several times in a row. He stood up slowly, took a deep breath, and walked straight to the rest area without looking at the Xiangbei players.
The referee on the sidelines saw the furious Shinomiya beating the ground and did not dare to stop him. Although Shinomiya Tanano is only a high school student, his exaggerated physique makes all the muscles in his body tense when he gets angry. When the referee saw this scene, he would not dare to stop him.
As Shinomiya Tano walked off the court, Sendō and others accepted the reality of defeat one after another, and followed Shinomiya Tōno back to the rest area.
Coach Taoka was in a bad mood at the moment, but when Shinomiya returned to the rest area, coach Taoka gently hugged Shinomiya's waist, comforted and encouraged:
"Tian Tian, you, you have all played well."
"Losing, just"
Before Coach Taoka finished speaking, Shinomiya Tano had already hugged Coach Taoka tightly in his arms and buried his head on Coach Taoka’s shoulder. At the same time, Shinomiya Tano’s voice also reached Coach Taoka’s ears. In the ear:
"Sorry, Coach Tagang."
When he heard this, Coach Tianoka could feel his shoulders becoming a little wet.
Coach Tian Gang also felt a sore nose when he heard this. He tried to control his emotions and patted Tian Gang's back gently at the same time.
The atmosphere in the entire Lingnan rest area became extremely gloomy at this moment, which was completely different from the cheering Xiangbei players in the stadium.
"Lingnan High School. Shinomiya Fields."
"Really a good player."
"It's just that your attack power is far from enough!"
"It's such a waste of talent to put such a player in such a place!"
In the stands, Coach Smith saw the game between Shohoku High School and Lingnan High School come to an end. He looked at Shinomiya Tano who had returned to the rest area. He held Shinomiya Tōno's relevant information in his hand and whispered to himself, his eyes full of fire.
105:103.
The semi-finals of the national competition, the winner, Shohoku High School!
