"No, no need!"
Suddenly, Hanaxing stood up from the ground unsteadily.
Hanagata looked at Sakuragi, and a trace of blood flowed from the wound on his face, adding a bit of ferocity to his originally gentle face.
Sakuragi said weakly: "Well, I really didn't mean it!"
"I know, it's not your fault!"
Hana Xing spoke calmly and picked up the broken frame from the ground.
Hanagata turned to his teammates and said, "Everyone, I'll go down and treat the wounds first, and I'll leave it to you."
"Don't worry, we will not fall behind in the score before you come back."
Fujima patted Hanagata's shoulder with a very serious look.
The other teammates also drove to Haikou.
"Well, I believe you!"
Hanagata nodded vigorously and walked towards Xiangyang's bench.
Although he can continue to play in his condition, he must take care of the wound and at least stop the bleeding, otherwise the referee will not let him stay on the court.
In this case, coach Kitano had no choice but to send Takano to play.
Takano's skills are rough, and his offensive range is limited to the basket. Compared with Hanagata, he is undoubtedly much inferior.
He can only be regarded as a qualified blue-collar worker at best.
Soon, the game continued.
"Everyone cheer up!"
While serving, Fujima began to encourage morale.
"Yes, Captain!"
The morale of Xiangyang players has improved.
Even though Xiangbei returned to defense in time, Xiangyang still did not stop attacking.
They are fast and work well together, interspersed with runs, pick-and-rolls, and screens from time to time.
In just a few breaths, Xiangbei's formation was pulled to pieces by Xiangyang players.
It was also at this time that Fujima saw an opportunity, made a ground pass, and the basketball fell into Kishimoto's hands.
At this time, Sakuragi was two or three meters away from Kishimoto.
His state seemed not quite right, and he tended to be distracted. Otherwise, with Sakuragi's strong physical fitness, Kishimoto would not have easily missed the opportunity.
"Suffer it!"
Sakuragi realized something was wrong and rushed towards Kishimoto.
Kishimoto raised his hand and made a shooting motion, and Sakuragi jumped up quickly.
This was Kishimoto's fake move. After successfully deceiving Sakuragi, Kishimoto couldn't help but smile and wanted to break through.
However, at this moment, Sakuragi, who was in a hurry, leaned toward Kishimoto.
Bang~
Kishi himself was knocked to the ground involuntarily by Sakuragi.
Toot~
The referee blew the whistle, signaling a foul on Sakuragi.
"This guy is here again!"
Mitsui rubbed his forehead and sighed.
"Isn't he feeling guilty for Hanagata's injury?"
Mumu successfully guessed Sakuragi's psychological activities.
"This big idiot!"
Akagi crossed his hands, thinking whether to give Sakuragi a slap on the forehead to make him remember it.
"Big idiot!"
Rukawa Kaede spread his hands and sighed slightly. His lines were always short and concise, and the longest one was probably his self-introduction when he joined the Shohoku team.
Then, Rukawa Kaede kicked Sakuragi.
"Damn it, Rukawa Kaede!"
Sakuragi began to curse and started fighting with Rukawa Kaede.
In fact, the two were flirting.
Under Rukawa Kaede's 'physical therapy', Sakuragi finally returned to normal.
At this time, Kishimoto stood at the free throw line, preparing to execute the free throw.
"Don't come in, don't come in, don't come in!"
Sakuragi held his breath and began to curse.
In the audience, seeing Sakuragi's movements and lip movements, Uozumi's head was full of black lines, and he couldn't guess what Sakuragi was doing.
You must know that in the original work, the target of Sakuragi's curse was Uozumi.
Bang~
Kishimoto threw the basketball in his hand, and it bounced high.
Sakuragi smiled subconsciously, but the dropped basketball happened to fall into the basket, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.
"Fortunately, idiots are not contagious!"
On the side, Rukawa Kaede let out a sigh of relief, and Sakuragi was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Huh~
Kishimoto shot the basketball again, and this time, the ball went hollow into the basket.
Shohoku started to serve, Mitsui held the ball past half court, and then lobbed the ball to Akagi.
"bring it on!"
Takano yelled and tried to cheer himself up, because he was facing the second center in the country.
Kawada Masashi:? ? ?
The reason is simple. Sanno Industries, where Masashi Kawada works, was defeated by the Shohoku team, which established Akagi's status in one fell swoop.
In addition, Masashi Kawada is no longer a pure center, and he will stay more at the power forward position in the future.
"as you wish!"
Akagi mumbled something and started to beat Takano from behind.
Bang~
Takano blushed and did not take a step back.
Compared with the original work, Takano's tonnage has increased a lot. It's Uozumi's fault. Since Uozumi became famous, in order to deal with Uozumi, strong teams began to cultivate human shields, and Takano and Nagano of the Shoyo team are such products.
"That's right, but I only used 70% of my strength just now!"
"Humph, I only used 50% of my strength!"
Gao Ye had a tough mouth and snorted coldly.
"Yeah?"
After finishing speaking, Akagi increased his strength.
Bang~
Takano's body obviously leaned back, and he subconsciously took a step back.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Akagi easily broke through Takano and performed a standard gorilla slam dunk.
Bang~
"No matter how tough your mouth is, your body is softer than you thought!"
Akagi let go of his hands, glanced sideways at Takano, and turned back to defend.
"hateful!"
Takano cursed, but there was nothing he could do.
Xiangyang served again, but due to Takano, the advancement speed was not as fast as before.
Even so, Xiangyang ended the attack within ten seconds.
In this attack, Fujima took advantage of Takano's pick-and-roll, faked a sudden shot, and shot with his left hand, catching Mitsui off guard and easily scoring three points.
When Shohoku attacked, Mitsui responded by relying on Akagi's pick-and-roll and also hit a three-pointer.
In the second half of the first half, the two seemed to have a real fire, going back and forth and getting into a competition, which made the audience excited.
Not long after, the first half was over.
Even though Hanagata was off the field, the Shohoku team still did not take advantage, and the first half ended in a tie.
During the halftime period, the coaches from both sides began to arrange tactics in an orderly manner.
The players listened to the tactical deployment while trying to recover their physical strength.
In the process, the flower-shaped wound has been treated, and he can return to the field and wear another pair of glasses.
These were his spare glasses. Originally, Hanagata didn't have the habit of bringing spare glasses, but in the end, Uozumi made fun of him.
"Hanaxing, your degree should not be low. If your glasses are damaged during a game, how can you control your shooting accuracy? How should you keep up with the defensive players?"
Uozumi still remembers that in the original work, after the flower-shaped glasses were damaged by Sakuragi, he never performed well again, which shows the importance of glasses to him.
Hanagata always remembers this sentence and never forgets to bring a spare pair of glasses.
I have been so unlucky these past few days. My mother-in-law was hit by a car (she is fine and is in the hospital), my wife and grandma passed away, and the tenants downstairs complained about the water leakage... All the bad things happened together. This is so unlucky.
