In the auditorium, the veterans of the Lingnan team were sitting in the seats arranged by the organizing committee, giving people the feeling of being a group of bystanders.
That’s right, it’s a bystander!
Even if Xiangbei and Xiangyang fight each other, no matter who wins in the end, it can't change the result of Lingnan locking the county championship in advance.
"You are here to compete for second place!"
This is the consistent thinking of the Lingnan team.
Not far away, the Hainan team was shrugging their faces. If they hadn't attended the closing ceremony later, I'm afraid most of them would have left the field.
Without waiting long, Xiangbei and Xiangyang entered the venue together.
Suddenly, Aida Yanichi exclaimed and asked: "Hey, why don't you see Coach Anzai?"
As an inspiring player who collects news about various teams for Lingnan, Aida Hikoichi didn't even know about the hospitalization of coach Anzai.
"Coach Anxi is hospitalized!"
Coach Tian Gang held his hands in his hands. After getting the news last night, he immediately went to the hospital. Whether it was for private or business purposes, he had to go.
In addition to Coach Anzai's wife, Shohoku players and managers, he also met some acquaintances, such as Coach Kitano from Shoyo, Coach Kawasaki from Tsukutake, etc.
Among them, Coach Kitano was Coach Anzai’s contemporaneous student in college, and Coach Kawasaki was Coach Anzai’s protégé.
Of course, not all coaches take Coach Anxi seriously.
In fact, one and only Shigeru Tagoka was very respectful to Coach Anzai, and he never changed his attitude even after becoming famous.
Although Coach Tianoka appears to be stubborn and stern, you cannot question his character.
A coach who wipes his butt after being beaten in public by his players!
A coach who goes to great lengths to visit his players but is always rejected!
A coach who can take the initiative to take responsibility for the team's defeat for his players!
Of course, there were times when Coach Taoka pretended to talk big and was slapped in the face in public. He also claimed that he was like an immortal when he was young and was criticized collectively, but this time he was more like a flesh-and-blood person.
Before the game started, just like the original work, Mitsui specially placed the framed photo of Coach Anzai on the bench, but everyone complained collectively and ignored it.
There is no way, those who don't know think this is the portrait of Coach Anxi.
Like Hainan, Xiangbei also temporarily lost its coach, but Xiangbei's coach Anxi was diagnosed with a heart problem, while Gao Touli was dismissed from the game.
"Everyone, we must win this game. I believe Coach Anxi can recover faster!"
As the captain, Mitsui naturally takes the lead and boosts the morale of his teammates.
Compared with Akagi, whether it is setting an example or inspiring. Mitsui is undoubtedly more qualified.
Akagi's motivation was okay, but he failed to set a good example, at least in the original work.
"Win the game!"
"Defeat Xiangyang!"
At this moment, the morale of the Xiangbei players was like a rainbow, and their eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
"Very good. As for tactics, we will do what we are best at!"
Mitsui picked up the tactical board and scribbled on it in a meaningful way. Without a two-year window, he already had certain tactical skills, not to mention the tactics he was most familiar with in Shobei.
Hua Hua Hua~
As the two teams took the field, strong cheers erupted in the stadium.
Among them, Xiangyang still has more supporters, including a large group of Xiangyang cheerleaders holding plastic bottles.
The audience supporting Xiangyang is obviously more. In addition to Xiangyang's better historical record, it is also related to his gorgeous playing style.
In fact, Xiangbei's style of play is not bad, and you can often see fast breaks and slam dunks, but after all, it is still slightly inferior to Xiangyang, who specializes in run-and-gun tactics.
Of course, there are many supporters in Xiangbei.
Among them, Rukawa Mikoto is the most important. The number of Rukawa Mikoto in this period far exceeds the same period in the original work, and is almost comparable to the national competition period, because Rukawa Kaede won the MVP in junior high school, and his momentum and playing style are stronger than the original work.
Mitsui's supporters are no less than Rukawa Kaede, including the Horita Tokuo trio and Tetsuo. The difference is that most of the supporters of Mitsui are men.
As for the other people in Xiangbei, they can almost be ignored.
Appearance is justice, this is not just a saying, just look at the 'great filial son' Uchiha Itachi.
Soon, the game officially started.
In the jump ball stage, Akagi pressed the ball hard and handed the ball to Miyagi.
As a run-and-gun team, Xiangyang has very strong mobility. In this regard, it is second only to Lingnan in the country.
Against such a Xiangyang team, it would be difficult for Xiangbei to have a chance for a fast break.
"Let's get this one first!"
Miyagi raised his right index finger and came to Fujima very steadily.
Although Miyagi is still not Fujima's opponent, he is quite familiar with his opponent. With his ball control ability, it is difficult for Fujima to steal.
In terms of passing and controlling, Miyagi is undoubtedly the best in the country, not inferior to Fujima.
However, his flaws are also obvious. Although he has first-class physical fitness, his height disadvantage and unstable shooting means that he does not yet have the confidence to challenge Kanagawa's three major point guards.
Miyagi waited for a while, and seeing no chance, he passed the ball to Mitsui.
When in doubt, turn to Mitsui. This is the current situation of the Shohoku team.
Among the problem children in the Shohoku team, Mitsui is still the most stable.
Mitsui's opponent is naturally Hasegawa. As a Kanagawa defender, he can never avoid the defense of the two top defensive players, Ikegami and Hasegawa.
As soon as he received the basketball, Mitsui made a three-threat posture and immediately showed signs of breaking to the right.
His fake movements were so realistic that even Hasegawa was inevitably thrown away and subconsciously moved his steps to the left.
Mitsui retracted his right foot and made a step-back shooting stance.
Hasegawa tried his best to hold back the discomfort and pounced on Mitsui.
It turned out that this was another fake move by Mitsui. Taking advantage of Hasegawa's unsteady footing, Mitsui lowered his head to break through.
By the time Hasegawa turned around and wanted to chase back, Mitsui had already shot the basketball in his hand.
Huh~
The basketball was hollowed into the basket, and the net flower barely moved. The spectators who were far away might think that this was a no-stick move.
"Chishang's defense is much better than yours!"
Before returning to defense, Mitsui did not forget to tease Hasegawa's mentality.
He didn't lie. Because of Uozumi, Ikegami's current defense is indeed stronger than Hasegawa. At least that's how Mitsui feels.
Not only Mitsui, but also Amu, Nanlie, and Fujima have experienced it personally.
Hasegawa's advantage is height, but even in height, he is only three centimeters taller than Ikegami.
The Xiangyang team's offense was as usual, like mercury pouring down the ground. In just five or six seconds, Kishimoto teased Sakuragi and easily made a mid-range shot.
Obviously, Sakuragi made a common-sense distraction again, which is a bit like Odom in later generations.
"Boy, my grandma's defense is better than yours!"
Kishimoto couldn't help but tease Sakuragi, who made Sakuragi's defense just now seem to be in vain.
