Uozumi looked thoughtful and vaguely guessed something, but still pretended to be confused and asked: "What's the matter?"
"I think we can win-win cooperation and win the national competition spots together, but we in Xiangyang want to win the county competition, what do you think?"
This is Taro Aso's purpose. I don't know if this is Coach Xiangyang's intention or his own intention.
The reason why we didn't discuss it with Uozumi until now was mainly because Taro Aso felt that Xiangyang could easily defeat Lingnan who was missing in the lineup.
As a result, Lingnan showed a threat to Xiangyang, and Xiangyang was still unable to widen the point difference. If this was a mistake and he was accidentally defeated by Lingnan, then Xiangyang would not even be able to get a spot in the national competition.
In addition, Taro Aso dislikes the Hainan team very much.
For the Hainan team, which has won the county championship for 14 consecutive years, if it cannot even get a place in the national competition, the consequences will be very serious for the Hainan team.
"You guys have taken advantage of us. This is definitely not going to work! How about this, you Xiangyang can win the game, but the county championship will be given to us?"
While Yuzumi answered, he passed the ball to Asahi Ken Matsushita.
No wonder Uozumi would say that. Xiangyang wants to win the game and win the county competition. How can such a good thing happen?
In addition, judging from Taro Aso's tone, it was as if the quota for the national competition was given by Shoyo to Lingnan.
If Xiangyang wants to win the county championship, it must not only defeat Lingnan, but also lead Lingnan by 8 points.
Judging from the current situation, Xiangyang definitely has a higher chance of winning, but it is definitely not easy to beat Lingnan by 8 points.
The crux of the matter is that Lingnan also has the possibility of defeating Xiangyang, but the chance of winning is much smaller, but Xiangyang definitely doesn't want to take this risk.
Once Lingnan wins the game, Xiangyang will be directly eliminated and will even lose its spot in the national competition. By then, the Hainan team will probably die laughing.
In Uozumi's view, as long as he wins the county championship, the outcome of this game will become irrelevant. After all, how many people will remember the record of the county championship.
The most important thing is that as long as he wins the county championship, he can almost definitely win the best player in the county competition.
The best players are basically selected from the championship teams.
Unless the championship team does not have any outstanding players, while the runner-up team has players who perform extremely well.
With Uozumi's performance, as long as he wins the county championship, the best player will almost be in the bag.
If nothing else, both the county competition champion and the best player can get potential points.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Yuzhu to give up.
Taro Aso did not answer the question and began to quickly return to defense.
In his three years of high school, he has already won two runner-up finishes in the county competition. He is not just greedy for the temptation of championships and best players.
Taro Aso could not easily give up the honors of championship and best player, so he decided to wait. If Xiangyang could not lead by double digits in a short time, it would not be too late to make a decision then.
At this time, Uozumi took the initiative to step forward to pick and roll. Before Fujima could get around Uozumi, Matsushita Asahiken immediately broke through with the ball.
Junichiro Nozawa tried to stop him, but Asahi Ken Matsushita easily broke through in a small-to-large way.
Until then, Fujima finally bypassed Uozumi and rushed towards Matsushita Asahi Ken.
Meanwhile, Uozumi cuts in from the other side.
The moment Fujima approached, Asahi Ken Matsushita immediately passed the ball to Uozumi.
Uozumi swatted the basketball hard, took a long step, and wanted to lay up.
Junichiro Nozawa rushed towards Uozumi, but his steps were too slow, but he still jumped up and reached out to shoot the basketball.
Feeling Junichiro Nozawa's move in mid-air, Uozumi immediately hooked his wrist and hooked the basketball toward the basket.
Pa~beep~
Junichiro Nozawa's right hand slapped Uozumi's right hand hard. His force was so strong that Uozumi almost lost his balance.
At the same time, the referee blew the whistle.
After landing, Yuzhu couldn't help but take a step back and finally gained a firm footing.
Bang~shua~
The basketball thrown by Yuzhu first hit the backboard and then bounced into the basket.
The referee pointed to the free throw line and signaled Yuzhu to add one free throw.
Uozumi took a deep breath, cheered up, and shot the basketball in his hand.
Huh~
He was lucky, the basketball went into the basket, and the score was 2+1.
As a result, there was only a 2-point difference between the two sides.
Taro Aso frowned slightly. In the next round, if Xiangyang does not score, the lead may be eroded by Lingnan. By then, the morale of Lingnan's players will be high.
This put a lot of pressure on Taro Aso, and at the same time, it also inspired his competitive spirit.
Unless there is something unavoidable, he has no idea of giving up the championship and the best player to others.
In the Shoyo team's offense, Fujima relied on Aso Taro's pick-and-roll and faced Ikegami's defensive switch and broke through with the ball.
Fujima is very fast, but Ikegami is not slow either. Coupled with the difference in height and confrontation, Fujima may need a lot of effort to break through Ikegami.
The opportunity was fleeting, and Fujima immediately passed the ball to Aso Taro who got rid of Ikegami.
Taro Aso ignored Matsushita Asahi Ken and was about to kill him again.
Uozumi hurriedly pounced on Aso Taro. He was so intimidating and powerful that Aso Taro hurriedly shot the basketball.
Bang~
Unfortunately, the strength is too small.
The basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced to the left corner.
The closest one was Matsushima Kazuto of the Shoyo team. Just when he was about to grab the rebound, a huge figure rushed straight towards him and jumped high.
Taking advantage of his height and wingspan, Yuzhu clicked hard on the bottom of the basketball, causing the basketball to fly again.
By the time the basketball fell, Yuzhu had already secured his position and easily pocketed the basketball.
Fujima sneaked closer to Uozumi, trying to steal the ball. Uozumi subconsciously waved his elbows, which frightened Fujima so much that he didn't dare to get close. He didn't want to make the same mistake as Takamiya Motou.
With Fujima's small body, once he is caught and elbowed by a fish, the consequences will definitely be serious.
After scaring off Fujima, Uozumi passed the ball to Asahi Ken Matsushita and walked slowly towards the frontcourt.
He didn't miss any opportunity to save energy.
This time, Uozumi and Asahi Ken Matsushita played an exquisite cooperation, using the pass to open up the defense, and finally Asahi Ken Matsushita scored a layup.
48:48
In this way, the two sides finally reached a tie.
When returning to defense, Uozumi couldn't help but glance at Aso Taro, and then jogged back to defense.
With Junichiro Nozawa's slow speed, there was no need for Uozumi to quickly return to defense.
Taro Aso did not consult with Uozumi. After taking a good position, he took the initiative to ask Fujima for the ball.
Facing Ikegami's defense, Aso caught the ball, turned around, and broke through in disguise. After successfully getting out of the space, he succeeded in a jump shot, giving Xiang Yang a two-point advantage again.
