When the timeout ended, the Shohoku team had improved. Hisashi Mitsui began to become the point guard of the Shohoku team, directly facing off against Fujima Kenji.
There was no way, Shohoku team's Itakura Kumaji was beaten by Fujima Kenji on both offense and defense, and he made many mistakes. Coach Anzai could only send Hisashi Mitsui to switch positions to deal with Fujima.
After Shohoku served, Mitsui advanced to half court with the ball.
"We score a goal first!"
Mitsui stretched out his index finger and sounded very confident.
Fujima Kenji was well prepared. He seemed to underestimate the enemy and tried to steal.
However, unlike Itakura Kyuji, Mitsui used his hips to dribble the ball and successfully broke through Fujima.
呲~
Fujima was chasing after him, but Mitsui stopped suddenly, jumped up, stretched his body, and threw the basketball in his hand.
Huh~
The basketball hollowed into the net and stirred up a white net flower.
"He deserves to be the MVP of the junior high school competition. He really has a good hand!"
Looking at Mitsui's handsome back, Fujima said nothing, but his eyes were obviously much more serious than before.
"Akagi, I think you should sit on the bench obediently. In your current state, how can you live up to the trust of your teammates, let alone lead the team to dominate the country? I think you should go back to the bench and watch me. Show off."
When he came on the court, Mitsui Hisashi couldn't help but slapped Takenori Akagi's butt and mocked.
He needs helpers, and the only one who can help him in this Shohoku team is Takenori Akagi.
Due to the fish residence, Takenori Akagi is stronger now than at the same time.
However, he got nervous too easily, and his whole body looked very stiff. His reaction was even a beat too slow, and he was taken over by Xiangyang's center.
This is also related to the atmosphere of the stadium, but Takenori Akagi is too easily influenced by the outside world.
"Humph, Mitsui, take care of yourself first!"
Provoked by Mitsui, Takenori Akagi's eyes seemed to be filled with fire.
Dominating the country has always been his dream, and he will not allow others to question his determination.
As a result, Takenori Akagi temporarily forgot about his nervousness and his condition began to improve.
Offense and defense transition!
Fujima held the ball for half the game. When he came outside the three-point line, looking at Mitsui one step away, Fujima first made a breakthrough posture.
When Mitsui moved, he immediately put his feet back and jumped up straight.
Mitsui's reaction was not unpleasant, and his defensive skills were quite good. He jumped up as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, Mitsui knew nothing about Fujima.
Fujima is not only left-handed, but also has mastered a special shooting method.
Before jumping to the highest point, Fujima immediately shot the basketball in his hand. This weird shooting rhythm was simply hard to guard against. At this time, Mitsui had just jumped up.
As soon as he landed on the ground, Mitsui quickly looked towards the basket.
Huh~
Seeing the basketball hit the basket, Mitsui couldn't help but shook his head.
It has to be said that Fujima's shots are difficult to defend.
After seeing the goal, Fujima couldn't help but wave his arms vigorously, with a warm and charming smile on his face.
For a time, countless nymphomaniac girls were crazy about him.
“It’s getting more and more interesting!”
Looking at Fujima who turned around to defend himself, Mitsui revealed a smile.
Since the start of the prefecture competition, this was the first time Mitsui encountered such a strong backcourt player. This made his fighting spirit suddenly burnt up, and he was bound to have a showdown with Fuji Shinichi.
When Mitsui faced off against Fujima, in the audience, Aida Yayoi watched the field with interest while quickly taking notes in her notebook.
"Imamura, I'm afraid this will be a battle between dragons and tigers."
"Miss Aida, it's impossible."
"I'm not talking about the team, but the two players who just scored. Judging from the data, the No. 14 player of the Shohoku team is the MVP of the junior high school competition; Kenji Fujima is also a super star from another county. I heard that he is still a top player. The next core established by Team Yang.”
Aida Yayoi likes to collect player information, not to mention that Mitsui and Fujima are both popular players.
"It turns out that the Xiangbei team has such powerful players. Does this mean there is a chance to win the game?"
After learning that Hisashi Mitsui was the MVP of the junior high school competition, Imamura couldn't help but take a high look at the Shohoku team.
"Imamura, basketball is a team sport. If the teammates are too weak, no matter how strong the individual is, it will be difficult to change the situation of the game. This is the case with this Shohoku team."
Aida Yayoi shook her head. As far as she knew, only Shota Sugiyama had done it in the past few years, leading a weak team to the quarterfinals of the national competition.
However, Sugiyama Shota is just an example.
One thing is certain, no matter in terms of strength or dominance, the current Mitsui Hisashi cannot be compared with last year's Shota Sugiyama.
Despite this, Aida Yayoi still recorded seriously, because this is likely to be the only bright spot of the Shohoku team.
At this time, Imamura suddenly said: "That big guy in Xiangbei seems to be quite powerful!"
Yayoi Aida looked up and saw a big man wearing a red jersey successfully hit the Xiangyang center with a back-up, and then hit a powerful slam dunk.
The strong sound of exploding baskets echoed in the stadium.
"This is Takenori Akagi of the Shohoku team. In the previous three prefecture competitions, his performance was second only to Hisashi Mitsui."
Yayoi Aida seemed to remember something and continued: "Among the freshmen emerging this year, Takenori Akagi can be said to be the second-best center."
As for the top-performing freshman center, Yayoi Aida didn't say anything, and Imamura didn't ask, because they all had an answer in their hearts, and that was Uozumi.
Not to mention the number one center among freshmen, they feel that Uozumi has become one of the best centers in Kanagawa Prefecture and has the strength to compete for the number one center in Kanagawa Prefecture.
The game on the field is still going on. Under the leadership of Mitsui and Akagi, the morale of the Shohoku team has obviously recovered a lot, which also allowed the Shohoku team to play some good goals.
However, although Takenori Akagi's performance was good, he could not completely suppress the Xiangyang center, and the two sides could only fight each other.
It didn't take long for Xiangyang to find a way to deal with Xiangbei.
Since the other players in Shohoku are weak, the Shoyo team can concentrate on dealing with Mitsui and Akagi.
Compared to Mitsui, Akagi is easier to restrict.
As long as Akagi catches the ball, the Shoyo team will often adopt a posture of assisting defense and double-teaming.
Although Akagi is stronger now than he was at the same time, he is not the same person he was two years later. He was helpless in the face of the Xiangyang team's encirclement and suppression, and he quickly got lost in the muscle jungle.
Mitsui, on the other hand, seems to have some dealings with Fujima, but his situation is not very good either.
Fujima adopted the strategy of preventing shots but not breakthroughs. As long as Mitsui broke through, Xiangyang players would immediately help defend. Coupled with Fujima's harassment, Mitsui was very uncomfortable.
Although Mitsui has good breakthrough ability, after all, he has not reached the level of Rukawa Kaede, and his teammates are not good enough, so his performance is very frustrating, which directly leads to Mitsui's offensive efficiency declining a lot.
There was no surprise. In the end, Xiangyang easily won the game and eliminated Xiangbei.
The next game will be a duel between Lingnan and Buri.
