Bang ~ clang ~
Naito jumped up, grabbed the basketball, and smashed the ball into the basket while knocking Takasago away.
At the same time, Takasago's feet came off the ground, and he flew directly upside down. He was unlucky enough to hit the basketball stand.
Takasago finally realized how powerful Naito's impact was when he started at full speed, but the price was injury.
"Takasago, are you okay?"
Hainan players hurriedly gathered around.
Takasago lay on the floor in pain, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he felt severe pain in his waist.
Judging from the way he feels, the bones should be fine, but a muscle strain is more likely.
However, whether it was a broken bone, cracked bone or muscle strain, Takasago was no longer able to fight anymore.
Not long after, Takasago was taken away on a stretcher, and Muto Masaru was replaced.
Muto Masaru, second grader, 185cm, 75kg, has good defense, positioning and passing abilities.
In the drama year, he was also the starting player with the lowest presence in Hainan Affiliated High School.
Until then, the game starts again.
After mastering the correct way of playing, Xiandao played like a fish in water. He discovered that he had an amazing talent in combining sudden points.
Driven by Xiandao, Lingnan began to score continuously.
However, Amu's performance was not bad at all.
For a time, Lingnan and Hainan showed a trend of mutual explosion.
Toot~
However, in the seventh minute of the second half, Naito fouled again. This was his fourth foul.
On the floor in front of Naito, Muto was lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment, with an expression of pain and excitement on his face.
This time, Naito committed a beating foul.
In the game just now, Muto Masahiro and Na Takako covered each other, and Naito and Ikegami had to take measures to switch defenses.
Muto received a pass from Amu and faced Naito's defense. He first tried to break through, but was unable to succeed. Then he faked a shot and successfully deceived Naito.
After successfully deceiving Naito, Muto took the initiative to draw a foul on Naito.
Naito was unable to hide in mid-air and couldn't even retract his arm.
After all, Naito has been in basketball for less than a year and is still too young after all.
With Naito's fourth foul, the situation on the court seemed to be taking a turn for the worse.
After committing four fouls, Naito became even more constrained. He was afraid that he would be too embarrassed to leave the game after committing five fouls.
On the offensive end, he didn't dare to use force, and on the defensive end, he was like a wooden stake. This was the portrayal of Naito on the court at this time. Even the quality of He Sendao's pick-and-rolls dropped sharply, and he didn't even dare to fight for rebounds with all his strength.
As the core of the inside line, Naito's importance to Lingnan goes without saying, especially his contribution on the defensive end.
Without Naito's frame protection, Lingnan's defense is bound to be greatly reduced, especially rebounding, which suddenly changed from an advantage to a disadvantage.
In this case, Hainan seized the opportunity and suppressed Lingnan again, hoping to take the opportunity to expand the score.
Coach Taoka had no choice but to replace Naito, and his replacement was Toyoyoshi Inoue.
As soon as he returned to the bench, Naito immediately wrapped his head in a towel, lowered his head and prepared to be scolded by coach Taoka.
However, the imagined reprimand did not materialize.
"Naito, although you still have many flaws that need to be corrected, your current performance is already very good."
Coach Tian Gang still has a good attitude and is very patient.
At this time, Uozumi turned to Naito and muttered: "Isn't it just the fifth foul to leave the field? Many people here have experienced it. Your mentality is unacceptable.
You have to know that the more you are afraid of fouling, the more likely you are to commit a foul. There is no need to shrink back and just behave as usual. "
"Could it be that Uozumi-senpai..."
Naito looked at Uozumi as if he saw light.
"I don't!"
Uozumi knew what Naito wanted to say and immediately shook his head in denial.
How could such a majestic and strange man like him leave the field for five offenses? Which one of them didn't leave the field in a fight?
Naito's eyes suddenly showed disappointment. He quite hoped that the fifth offender Uozumi would leave the field, so that he could completely let go of his arrogance.
"Naito, if you don't want to leave the field with five offenses, there is actually another way!"
Yuzhu seemed to have thought of something and started to follow the instructions.
Naito thought Uozumi had a unique secret to teach him, so he quickly asked: "What can I do?"
The teammates nearby hurriedly saluted Yuzhu with their attention, their ears slightly twitching, ready to listen.
"The method is very simple, just stay on the bench."
Uozumi spread his hands. He was not lying. As long as he stayed on the bench and did not play, it was impossible for him to leave the game with five fouls.
No, it's still possible, just like Duncan showing a weird smile on the bench.
"..."
Upon hearing this answer, Naito suddenly didn't want to speak. He had a strong self-esteem and was unwilling to escape reality.
Uozumi glanced at Naito, peeled off a banana, ate it in two bites, and stuffed his mouth full.
He knew very well that it would take time for Naito to adjust, just like Uozumi after the battle with the four criminals in Xiangling in the plot year, he was facing choices and inner torture.
If you want to go out completely, you have to rely on yourself in the end.
At this time, the game is still going on.
Unexpectedly, Lingnan did not fall into a disadvantage.
Under the leadership of Xiandao, Lingnan clung to the score.
As a price, Xiandao did not hesitate to expend more energy, and he even began to help his teammates fight for rebounds.
With Xiandao's height and physical fitness, he can still grab rebounds.
However, the good times did not last long. Xiandao was still a first-year player after all, and his opponent was still Amu. This situation of being both a father and a mother caused a lot of physical damage to him.
This is also related to the fact that he played too many singles in the first half. That difficult way of scoring goals consumed much more energy than usual.
As Xiandao ran out of energy, Hainan began to regain the upper hand and widened the point difference to double digits again.
At this time, there were eight minutes left before the end of the game.
If it continues, Lingnan is likely to suffer a big defeat.
At this moment, Naito stood up and stood in front of Coach Taoka.
"Coach, let me play instead!"
"Do you understand?"
"I don't know, I just know that I will not escape, I will fight with my teammates!"
"Then get ready to play!"
Coach Taoka took a deep look at Naito and then nodded in agreement.
Soon, Naito was replaced.
Coach Taoka turned to look at Uozumi and asked: "Uozumi, what kind of performance do you think he will do?"
Uozumi shook his head and laughed, saying: "Either you worry about gains and losses, or you risk everything. However, Naito's competition experience is too lacking. I think he may not be able to last until the end of the game. This is a good thing for us, isn't it?"
"It's indeed a good thing!"
Coach Tianoka smiled happily. It is naturally a good thing for players to improve.
However, Naito still has a long way to go.
