After Lingnan defeated Hainan, it was the next game between Xiangbei and Xiangyang.
This game is also the focus of this round.
There was no way, the gap between Lingnan and Hainan was too big. Most of the audience thought that Lingnan won the game easily, and this was also the case.
In front of Lingnan, Hainan was suppressed without even making a splash.
Before Xiangbei and Xiangyang took the field, the Lingnan team came to the front row of the auditorium, sat in the seats specially arranged for the players, and began to act as bystanders of the game.
The winner of this game can compete with Lingnan for the national championship.
In the auditorium not far away, the Hainan team was still in a daze, obviously not recovering from the blow.
Not long after, Xiangbei and Xiangyang started to play.
The momentum of both sides was like a rainbow, and their eyes seemed to be burning with raging fire. They were all determined to win the ticket to the finals and win the highest honor in colleges and universities.
Hua Hua Hua~
As they took the field, the stadium erupted with loud cheers, with supporters of both teams cheering for their favorite teams.
Maybe it’s because Shohoku defeated Shoyo in the county competition, or maybe it’s because Shohoku defeated Sanno Industries in the national competition. In short, this time, Shohoku didn’t fall behind at all in terms of momentum, especially the increasingly impressive Rukawa Mikoto.
All we can say is that Rukawa Kaede is indeed the protagonist that Takehiko Inoue originally intended.
Mitsui also has many supporters, most of whom are men.
As for other players, you can ignore, well, including Sakuragi!
Shoyang's supporters still include a large number of Shoyang students holding plastic bottles. The rhythmic tapping sound complements Rukawa Ming's lines.
Among them, Fujima has the most supporters, more than the other Shoyo players combined. It can only be said that he is worthy of being the most beautiful face in SD.
Appearance is justice, no matter in which world it is.
Soon, the game begins.
Akagi pressed the pattern and won the jump ball.
"Everyone, take your time, let's get the first goal first!"
Miyagi controlled the rhythm steadily. After the baptism of the national competition, Miyagi grew a lot.
Although he is still no match for Fujima, he has improved a lot compared to before.
Fujima didn't attack because he knew very well how good Miyagi's passing and control was, not to mention he didn't want to put too much energy on defense.
The bombardment team has always focused on offense and neglected defense, not to mention that high school students have relatively limited physical fitness and must pay attention to physical distribution.
After his teammates were in position, Miyagi passed the ball to Mitsui.
The first goal was naturally given to the team's ace.
Mitsui caught the ball, made a triple threat gesture, and quietly stared at the old rival in front of him-Hasegawa.
Hasegawa was ready, his expression extremely solemn.
He has always used Mitsui as his opponent. Because of Mitsui, Hasegawa trained harder than the original, became stronger, and defended more steadily.
In an instant, Mitsui broke through with the ball.
Chang Huaitang quickly moved his steps laterally to block Mitsui's breakthrough direction.
However, Mitsui stopped at the touch of a button, quickly retracted his right foot, stood outside the three-point line, and shot the basketball in his hand rhythmically.
Step back three-pointer!
Hasegawa tried his best to stop him, but because his rhythm was disrupted, he staggered and ended up being a beat late.
Huh~
The basketball went hollow into the basket, and Mitsui took the lead in scoring three points for Shohoku.
"You almost guarded me!"
After hitting a three-pointer, Mitsui tried to influence Hasegawa's mentality.
The Hasegawa noodles did not change color and seemed unaffected.
As a defensive champion, his mentality is often very good.
In the original work, Hasegawa was mentally unbalanced by Mitsui, who was left with residual blood.
Things are different now. Hasegawa is very self-aware and does not provoke Mitsui, because he is very self-aware and it is difficult for him to limit Mitsui's performance.
In the blink of an eye, Xiangyang quickly served and launched a fast break.
The Five Tigers of Northern Hunan quickly returned to defense and rushed back to their own half.
The Xiangyang team's attack was like mercury pouring down the ground. As usual, it only took a few seconds to complete an attack.
Under Fujima's organization, Hanagata came up to pick and roll.
Using the cover of the flower shape, Fujima temporarily got rid of Miyagi's entanglement. He moved his steps slightly and took off to shoot.
Before reaching the highest point, Fujima threw the ball.
This is one of Fujima's usual shooting methods, using rhythm to catch the opponent off guard and speed up the shot.
Miyagi only had time to raise his hand and quickly turned to look at the basket.
Huh~
Fujima also hit a three-pointer.
"Miyagi, you don't seem to have made any progress!"
Before returning to defense, Fujima teased Miyagi, which was a response to Mitsui teasing Hasegawa.
Miyagi curled his lips, he didn't like Fujima's stinky look.
Of course, the key is Fujima's handsome face.
It’s normal for a short, poor person to hate a tall, rich and handsome person!
The game on the field is still going on. After the aces of both sides played the first ball, they seemed to have a tacit understanding to give the opportunity to perform to their teammates.
Among them, Rukawa Maple and Akagi are the main ones in Shobei, while Hanata and Nanlie are the main ones in Xiangyang.
After the duel with Zebei, Rukawa Kaede's strength has been steadily improving, and his style of play has gradually begun to deviate from Xiandao and Tsuchiya Jun.
Compared with Rukawa Kaede, who was further ahead, Nanlie pales in comparison. Compared to the county competition, the gap between the two widened.
On the other side, the duel between Akagi and Hanagata is also a topic.
As the top center in Kanagawa Prefecture, the matchup between them is also very topical.
The two have their own characteristics, Akagi's confrontation is better, and the flower shape has a softer feel.
On the offensive end, there is not much difference between the two, and they even pose a greater threat in the shape of a flower.
But on the defensive end, Akagi has considerable advantages, especially in terms of deterrence at the basket and rebounding.
Akagi's middle-aged gorilla face alone has considerable intimidating power.
Amu: Akagi is older than me!
On the court, both sides come and go, but no one can guard the other.
Due to tactical reasons, Xiangyang's defense can only be considered average.
Relatively speaking, Xiangbei's defense is much better, but Xiangbei is also difficult to limit Xiangyang's mercury-like offense.
Under Fujima's organization, Xiangyang's offense was organized in an orderly manner, and he fully brought out the characteristics of his teammates.
In more than a year, the Xiangyang team has understood the essence of bombardment tactics.
For a time, the scores between the two sides continued to stagger.
At this time, coach Anxi took the initiative to call a timeout.
When the timeout ended, the Xiangbei team's lineup remained unchanged, but their defensive tactics changed slightly.
To put it simply, Akagi and Sakuragi are positioned closer to the basket and put more energy into the defensive end, with rebounding being the top priority.
As for the offense, it is naturally left to Mitsui and Rukawa Kaede.
It has to be said that in terms of backcourt firepower, these two are almost the best in the country.
