Takenori Akagi endured the pain and finally persuaded Ayako to tie up the wound and want to play, but he encountered such an embarrassing thing.
Originally, in Akagi's view, without him, Xiangbei would probably fall into a disadvantage, and then be overtaken by Hainan.
As a result, Xiangbei not only failed to be overtaken by Hainan, but actually widened the point difference to double digits in one fell swoop.
This is embarrassing!
Winning is not scary, but whoever is missing is embarrassed!
At this moment, Akagi was very embarrassed and ignored the pain caused by the injury for a while.
But looking at Mitsui and his teammates who were fighting tenaciously on the field, Akagi couldn't help but think of what Mitsui said before he left the field.
Although Xiangbei has not won yet, he did it!
At the thought of this, Akagi became excited and hurriedly said to Coach Anzai: "Coach, I want to play!"
"Oh hehe, Akagi, you have to trust your teammates."
Coach Anxi let out his trademark laugh and continued: "Injuries are no small matter. Once the condition worsens, not to mention whether you will miss the national competition in a month, or you may have to say goodbye to your entire sports career. You must take this as a warning. "
Under Coach Anxi's warning, Akagi opened his mouth and was speechless.
Coach Anxi is right. The biggest enemy of athletes is injuries. If you play with injuries, once the injury is aggravated, the consequences will be serious. In history, many basketball players were ruined because of injuries.
As for why coach Anzai agreed to play with injuries during the plot year, apart from Akagi's strong will, it was also related to the severe situation on the court at that time.
Well, it's not that time yet.
This was also the main reason why Akagi didn't persist.
However, just because Akagi doesn't play doesn't mean he can't contribute.
Akagi held his hands in the shape of a trumpet and shouted towards the court at the top of his lungs: "Shobei, come on~"
Led by Akagi, Ayako and Shohoku substitute players also began to cheer for the team.
They led the way with their points, and soon, more and more spectators joined in cheering for Xiangbei.
For a time, the stadium was filled with voices cheering for Xiangbei.
In the sound of cheering, the originally tired Xiangbei players seemed to have been injected with a shot of cardiotonic. They forgot their fatigue for a while and fought hard on the court, racing against every second.
"Damn it!"
Seeing the changes on the field, Coach Gao Tou was almost furious. He broke the paper fan in his hand as if to vent his anger. After all, his Qi-nurturing skills were still not good enough.
On the court, Amu frowned. He found that he had seriously underestimated Mitsui's toughness and scoring ability.
On the surface, this guy looks like he's dying, but he always perseveres and always scores.
At this time, there were only five minutes left, and the point difference between the two sides remained unchanged, still 13 points.
Obviously, the situation is very unfavorable to Hainan, mainly because time is running out.
In this case, Hainan had to speed up the offensive rhythm, increase the number of rounds, and consume the physical strength of Xiangbei players.
This is the strategy formulated by coach Gao Tou. In terms of training intensity, how can Xiangbei compare to Shanghai Affiliated High School?
Hainan served and Mu Shenyi quickly passed the half court.
Mitsui was breathing heavily, but he did not defend Amu, but handed him over to Miyagi.
He was very aware of his own state, not to mention that he couldn't restrict Amu. Instead of doing this, it would be better to leave him to Miyagi, who was full of physical strength.
As for Mitsui, he is ready to spend his remaining energy on the offensive end.
What I have to say here is that the defensive formation of the Xiangbei team has changed, from man-to-man to two-three defense.
This is mainly to curb Amu's performance, and also to better compete for rebounds.
Similarly, this is also related to the fact that Hainan does not have a sharpshooter.
Ah Shen, who has just joined Hainan less than a month ago, should not place high hopes on him.
No matter how good the three-point talent is, it is difficult to turn potential into strength in a short period of time, not to mention that in addition to three-pointers, other aspects also need to be polished.
The next moment, Amu broke through with the ball.
Miyagi tried his best to stop him, but was powerless, and Amu easily broke through.
In terms of confrontation ability, Miyagi is more than inferior to Amu. This is the same as Uozumi's attack on Takasago. The tonnage alone is more than one level behind.
Like lightning, in the blink of an eye, Amu broke into the restricted area.
Miaki Iwata was on guard against the famous highlight while facing Amu.
Amu carried a strong impact. He did not choose to pass the ball and jumped straight up.
Iwata Miaki raised his hands in the air and jumped up as well.
In mid-air, the two collided.
Pa~
Amu took the initiative to bump his arm into Iwata Miaki's right hand, and suddenly exerted force on his waist and abdomen, suppressing Iwata Miaki, and threw the ball towards the basket.
All~
The referee's whistle sounded.
Peng~shua~
The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket.
Peng ~
Iwata Miaki fell heavily to the ground. His resistance was not as good as Amu's, not to mention that Amu was still at full speed.
Tsunoda Satoru wanted to pull him up, but he felt a cramp-like pain in his right foot, which made him take a breath.
He has cramps!
This is really a leaky house and it rains all night.
"Damn it, when is it bad to have cramps, but now!"
Iwata Miaki hammered her right foot hard, looking very unwilling.
From the beginning of the game to now, he has not gotten a moment's rest. Since Akagi left the field, he has tried his best to support the Xiangbei inside line. It would be strange if he is not tired.
"Iwata, you go down and take a rest first. Don't worry, we will win the final victory."
Mitsui was breathing heavily, but his eyes were still determined and filled with strong confidence.
He is even more tired than Iwata Miaki, and now he relies entirely on faith to support him.
Fortunately, he didn't have cramps.
"Captain, we must win the game!"
Mitsuaki Iwata limped off the field.
"coach!"
Akagi looked at coach Anzai expectantly. He knew very well that without Iwata Miaki, the Shohoku insider line could be said to be completely collapsed.
"Akagi, you have to believe in your teammates! Shiozaki, come on!"
Coach Anzai once again rejected Akagi's proposal and sent Tetsuo Shiozaki to play.
"Yes, coach!"
Shiozaki came on stage with a solemn expression, and he seemed a little nervous.
This is human nature. Shiozaki is still a first-year player, especially at this critical moment that determines the quota for the national competition. It would be strange not to be nervous.
Huh~
At the free throw line, Amu easily hit the free throw.
"Ten points left!"
Amu thought to himself, he looked very serious, he would take this opportunity to defeat Xiangbei in one fell swoop.
Shohoku served, and Miyagi pushed forward with difficulty. He found that the Hainan players were like mad dogs, and their defensive intensity was even higher.
After half-time, Miyagi immediately passed the ball to Mitsui.
The moment Mitsui received the basketball, Amu and Cang Mifeng double-teamed him.
Without Iwata Miaki, Ming Koguang can easily sit in the penalty area alone, especially Shiozaki and Tsunoda's mid-range shots are not very accurate.
In this way, one more person can be used to double-team Mitsui.
