After the game, the Lingnan team continued to stay in the venue because there was another game later.
Shoyang VS Jimbo Dai Affiliated
Judging from the evaluation of "Basketball Weekly", both teams are A-level teams.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a gap between them.
Although the Jinbo University affiliate was one of the top four teams in the country last year, due to the fact that its top players have graduated, this year’s Jinbo University affiliate is in a state of decline, and its strength is declining instead of increasing.
Uozumi has paid a little attention to the competition of Jimbo Daishi. In terms of strength, Jimbo Daishi is stronger than Tsukutake from Kanagawa Prefecture, but the strength is relatively limited.
The gap between the two teams can be said to be visible to the naked eye, but Xiangyang may not be able to crush the Jinbo Dai affiliate.
There is no shortage of high-quality role players in the Jinbo University affiliate. After all, they were among the top four in the country last year. The reserve of high-quality players may still be higher than that of Xiangyang.
However, this team lacks top players.
From Uozumi's point of view, there are no top players in the Jinbo Dai affiliate, and at best they are pseudo-top players.
Unlike Jimbo University, the Shoyo team has two top players in Taro Aso and Kenji Fujima.
Among them, Taro Aso is definitely among the top three power forwards nationwide.
While waiting, Akagi Haruko asked boredly: "Uozumi-senpai, which team do you think will win the final victory?"
"Xiang Yang, but it's not absolute."
Uozumi paused for a moment and continued: "I heard that the affiliated team of Jimbo University is playing team basketball this year at the affiliated school of Gakubo University of Shangda. As long as they cooperate properly, they may not be unable to win the game."
Basketball is, after all, a team sport.
No matter how strong one's ability is, there are always limits, and it requires the cooperation of teammates.
“Then we’ll see!”
Akagi Haruko seemed to have thought of something again and said: "By the way, senior, can you teach me how to shoot?"
"Okay, if something happens on Sunday, you can come to Lingnan University to find me at any time."
Naturally, Uozumi would not refuse, he was not a straight man.
Although Haruko Akagi is still very immature now, she is one of the two beauties of Kanagawa, very eye-catching.
Speaking of the two beauties of Kanagawa, Uozumi couldn't help but look at Kenji Fujima who was warming up.
At this time, hearing the conversation between Uozumi and Akagi Haruko, Akagi Takenori subconsciously wanted to get angry.
But after seeing Uozumi, who was taller and stronger than him, he stopped his anger.
Then Takenori Akagi showed a thoughtful expression.
He was very sure that he was not a coward, but that Yuzhu often challenged him to singles. The two were already friends, otherwise he would not have made a special trip to cheer for Yuzhu.
What's more, during this period, Yuzhu would teach him some skills intentionally or unintentionally, which allowed his strength to improve rapidly, much faster than before.
In the past, Takenori Akagi basically explored things on his own.
As for Coach Anzai, he is still in retirement. He rarely comes to the basketball team without speaking, and rarely coaches the players. He is lazy and feels like a mascot.
The most important thing is that Uozumi looks a lot like him!
Just because the two looked alike, Takenori Akagi couldn't get enough of him.
Of course, this is because Takenori Akagi has never met Kazuma Takasago.
On the side, Mitsui looked at Takenori Akagi in surprise.
Usually Akagi Takenori gets angry at every turn and always serves him with an angry iron fist.
Unexpectedly, Takenori Akagi held back this time.
Mitsui couldn't help but look at Uozumi. He compared the body shapes of the two and Uozumi's performance in beating Tetsuo, Aaron and others. He felt that Uozumi was probably still above Takenori Akagi in terms of combat power.
"Achun!"
Suddenly, Uozumi's father and cousin came over and came to Uozumi.
They subconsciously looked at Haruko Akagi next to Uozumi with quite surprised eyes.
Yuzhu is more than two meters tall and looks mature and fierce; Haruko Akagi is 1.5 meters tall and has a sweet and childish appearance. If the two walked together, people who didn't know would think they were father and daughter.
beauty and the Beast!
Uozumi Rong reacted and asked with a smile: "Ah Chun, why don't you introduce your friends?"
"This is my father and cousin!"
Uozumi hurriedly began to introduce the two parties, "They are Takenori Akagi, Haruko Akagi, Hisashi Mitsui and Konobu Kigure!"
"Hello, uncle!"
The four of Akagi hurriedly said hello.
"So you are Takenori Akagi. Ah Chun often mentioned you in front of me."
Uozumi Rong turned around and seemed to remember something, and looked at Haruko Akagi with very surprised eyes: "Hey, your surname is Akagi, are you still brother and sister?"
"Yes, brothers and sisters!"
Takenori Akagi's ears almost grew calluses hearing these words, but he couldn't help but answer.
Every time I'm with Haruko Akagi, someone always asks this question.
Who makes the two look nothing alike.
Originally, Uozumi Rong thought they were cousins, but they turned out to be biological siblings, which surprised him.
"You are all friends of Ah Chun. If you have time, you must remember to come to my house as a guest!"
"Yes, uncle!"
"We have something else to do, so we won't disturb you watching the game."
Before leaving, Uozumi Rong couldn't help but glance at Haruko Akagi again.
His eyes were weird, giving the impression that he was looking at his future daughter-in-law.
After Uozumi's father and cousin left, Takenori Akagi and his sister couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Akagi, this is the fifth time I have heard this sentence, hahahaha!"
Mitsui pointed at Takenori Akagi and laughed to the side, almost crying.
Peng ~
Takenori Akagi became angry and gave Mitsui an angry iron fist.
Uozumi ignored the banter between Takenori Akagi and Mitsui and continued to watch the field.
"The game is about to begin!"
As soon as Uozumi finished speaking, Takenori Akagi and Mitsui stopped playing around and looked at the court in unison.
In this year's prefecture competition, Shohoku was easily defeated by Shoyang with a huge score. Takenori Akagi and Mitsui naturally pay more attention to the Shoyang team. They hope to avenge their shame next year.
On the court, the starting players of the two teams began to take the field.
"Strange, why didn't Fujima Kenji play?"
Mu Mu Gongyan pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and suddenly discovered something strange.
After being reminded by Mu Mu Gongyan, others also discovered this scene.
Kenji Fujima did not play. He was sitting on the bench, and his position was very marginal. That position was the exclusive seat of the water dispenser administrator.
"This star really wants to retire"
In such a crucial battle, Xiangyang didn't send Fujima Kenji to play?
Could it be that Kenji Fujima has become a special being as a player on the field and a coach off the field just like in the plot years?
No, Coach Xiangyang is still here.
Uozumi observed Coach Xiangyang and Fujima Kenji carefully. Although the distance was a bit far away, judging from their expressions, they seemed not to be in a good mood.
Internal strife?
Uozumi knew very well how much Kenji Fujima didn't like to see Coach Xiangyang, but he didn't expect that the two of them would have an internal conflict on such a crucial battle. Was this intentional or unintentional?
He didn't know the answer and could only continue to pay attention to the game on the court.
At the beginning, both teams focused on testing.
Among them, the Shoyo team relied more on Taro Aso to use his personal ability to break down the defense and score.
It's just that the lack of Fujima Kenji directly resulted in the book strength of the two teams being almost the same.
Jimbo University affiliate is completely imitating Hakata Shōda University affiliate and plays team basketball.
I don't know whether it was because of nervousness or the lack of Fujima's relationship, but Shoyang's starting players generally felt cold, which gave the big affiliate of Jimbo the upper hand.
Even so, Coach Xiangyang still did not send Fujima to play.
"It seems that the two of them are really having internal strife. These two are really acting out of their own will!"
Seeing such a scene, Uozumi didn't know what to say.
If Fujima is not sent on the field, the Xiangyang team's original winning rate will definitely plummet, and the possibility of losing the game is not small.
Not long after, Xiangyang's lineup changed.
Fujima still didn't play, but coach Shoyo sent Hanagata to play.
The current Hanagata has not yet reached his peak, but he is already considered a relatively good insider. The key is that he can open up space and give Aso a better singles environment.
As Hanagata came on the scene, the situation on the court really changed.
Taro Aso can get almost anything he wants. His physical fitness is too good. He is not as strong as him, not as fast as him, and not as strong as him. Coupled with his mid-range shot, it is difficult for ordinary players to limit his performance.
However, Xiangyang still did not have the upper hand, it was just a tie.
First of all, Taro Aso's touch was not very good and seemed to be interfered by off-field factors.
Secondly, it seems that the Jinbaoda Affiliation does not have top players, but their cooperation is quite tacit, the player configuration is reasonable, and they can always use various tacit cooperation to score.
Overall, the two teams showed a tendency to explode with each other.
Before you know it, the first half is over.
Due to lagging behind in the opening stage, Jinbo University firmly held the advantage in the score.
In the stands, Mitsui suddenly asked: "Do you think Fujima was injured or had a conflict with the coach?"
He still cares about Fujima, after all, he is the only defender who can compete with him without falling behind after graduating from junior high school.
As for Mu Shenyi, Mitsui has never encountered him before, but he has only been a close friend for a long time.
Uozumi shook his head and said in a more confident tone: "I met Fujima this morning, and I'm pretty sure he was not injured. I'm afraid he had a conflict with the coach!
If Fujima is not sent on the field in the second half, Xiangyang is likely to lose the game! "
After all, there is a limit to a player's physical strength, and the key is that Taro Aso is not a physical monster.
Even the current Uozumi is not exempt from this. He has not yet completely become a physical monster.
What's more, even if you are a stamina monster, it is difficult to continue to explode for a whole game, or even half a game, and you need to slow down from time to time.
The attribute of physical fitness includes the upper limit of physical strength and the recovery speed of physical strength. The higher the physical fitness value, the higher the upper limit of physical strength and the faster the recovery speed.
Akagi Haruko on the side asked doubtfully: "Senior, what is the contradiction? Coach Xiangyang didn't send Fujima to play?"
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say!"
Yuzhu shook his head. He didn't want to reveal the reason before the matter was finalized.
He has always felt that Fujima has a bit of a perfectionist mentality and a very paranoid personality.
During halftime, Uozumi kept an eye on Coach Fujima and Shoyo.
From beginning to end, there was no communication between the two. It seemed that the conflict between the two was not as big as usual.
This is very intriguing!
Uozumi is almost certain that Coach Xiangyang already knows Fujima's idea of changing the team coach.
But it’s normal to think about it. From Xiangyang’s coach’s point of view, he invited Fujima from another county and made him the core of Xiangyang’s perimeter. However, Fujima actually wanted to replace him. Are you angry? ?
Soon, the intermission was over.
In the second half, Fujima remained expressionless and sat on the bench with his hands folded.
Coach Xiangyang probably thinks so, even without Fujima, Xiangyang can become the top four in the country.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
Without Fujima, the cooperation between Xiangyang players is far less than before, and they rely entirely on Taro Aso's singles to survive.
At the same time, due to the discord between the team's core and the coach, conflicts intensified, and the morale of Xiangyang players also fell.
In less than ten minutes, Aso's physical strength was severely exhausted, and his singles efficiency began to decline.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jinbo University began to open up the score.
Soon, the point difference between the two teams reached double digits.
All~
At this time, Xiangyang finally called a timeout.
During the timeout, Coach Xiangyang finally came to Fujima.
They didn't know what they said, and the words seemed to be quite intense, but in the end Fujima stood up, took off his coat and got ready to play.
At this time, there was less than ten minutes left before the end of the game.
Due to limited time, Fujima obviously sped up the offensive rhythm, quite similar to Toyotama's run-and-gun tactics.
Fujima has excellent organizational skills, fast speed, strong explosive power, and an attack range that reaches beyond the three-point line. He is indeed suitable for run-and-gun tactics.
The current Xiangyang starting lineup is generally short in height, has high mobility, and is also suitable for run-and-gun tactics.
As Fujima came on the court, the situation on the court changed again.
Under Fujima's organization, Xiangyang's offensive was overwhelming and there was always an opportunity to score easily.
After all, the affiliated company of Jimbo University is not affiliated with Hakata Shougang University. They only focused on team tactics this semester. In such a short period of time, they have only learned the basics.
However, the Great Affiliation of Jinbo is in the ranks of strong teams after all. Although they are at a disadvantage, their offensive efficiency is still impressive.
Xiangyang is gradually narrowing the point difference, but it is narrowing slowly.
When there was one minute left in the game, Xiangyang was still five points away.
At the critical moment, Fujima stood up and used a three-pointer to reduce the difference to two points.
The attached point guard of Jinbo Dai was obviously stalling for time, waiting until there were a few seconds left in the attack time before launching an attack.
At a critical juncture, Fujima succeeded in a gamble-style steal, and soon after he hit the ball, he hit a chasing three-pointer.
Three point hit!
A sure kill!
Xiangyang overtook the score, but there were still more than ten seconds left in the game.
Jimbo University still had a chance to attack, but unfortunately, they lacked top players and were very weak at the critical moment. They failed to hit the winning goal.
In the end, Xiangyang narrowly defeated Shenbo University by one point and advanced to the top four in the country.
This is the first time that two teams in Kanagawa Prefecture have advanced to the national semi-finals at the same time, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Due to Fujima's accurate kill and Fujima's 'grand beauty', it naturally attracted more people's attention.
At the same time, Xiangyang's internal conflicts in the team were also exposed.
