Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 105 Resurrection of the Strong Enemy!

Coach Tianoka called a timeout, and it was not until the players returned to the sidelines to rest that Maoichi Tianoka really saw the state of Shinomiya Tiano at this time.That handsome face looked a little pale, and his entire cheeks were covered with sweat.Shinomiya Tano didn't wipe it, he sat on the bench and adjusted his breathing, letting the sweat gather on his chin and drip onto the floor.

"Excessive physical energy consumption, symptoms of collapse!"

Shigeru Tianoka has been a player and a coach for many years. He knows why Shinomiya Tianye is like this. This seems to be a symptom of excessive physical exertion.

Coach Tian Gang turned his head to look at the rest area on the other side of the field, and saw Jinguji Budou talking and laughing happily with his teammates. After pondering for a long time, he turned his head and said to the players:
"Substitution."

"Tian Ye, take a break after work, the end of get off work has begun, and I will send you back to the field."

"Koizumi Junichiro, you will replace Shinomiya Tano in the game."

"We have to make some adjustments defensively and use a 2-3 zone defense."

"Koizumi, you go to defend No. 15 in Xiangbei, Sendo, you still defend Mitsui Hisashi, don't give him a chance to shoot from long distances, if he wants to break through, just stick to him."

"The rest of the players, build a defensive line around the paint area. The No. 15 in Xiangbei is used to receiving the ball in the middle distance. Koizumi, you have to restrict him and defend around the front. Don't let him receive the ball in that position."

"Yuzhu, your defenders in the paint should pay attention to the player who breaks through. Whether it is the No.15 or someone else, you must make up the defense in time."

When Tian Gangmao was replaced, Shinomiya Tianye sat on the stool, lowered his head and did not speak. No one knew what he was thinking at this time.

After setting up the defense, Tian Gang Moichi erased the notes on the tactical board and continued:
"As far as attacking, we need to make some changes as well."

"Xiandao, when Shinomiya Tianno is not on the court, we need you to connect the team's offense."

"If you have the opportunity to break through and score with the ball yourself, even if you can't break through, you must attract enough defensive power to allow teammates in other positions to have open shots."

"Everyone, move more actively when entering the frontcourt. For the rest of the first half, the score must not be opened again!"

At the end of Coach Tian Gang's speech, his voice became high-pitched.

"Yes!" The Lingnan team members surrounded by Coach Tian Gang responded loudly, and then dispersed, some of them replenished water, and some had Chi snacks.

Xiandao sat beside Shinomiya Tanno, chewing a slice of lemon in his mouth, raised his head, crossed Shinomiya Tianye, and observed Jinguji Budao who was sitting on the bench on the other side of the field.

Shonhoku No. 15 was the trap designed by Jinguji Budo, which dragged Shinomiya Tianye down.Xiandao, who returned to the rest area, had already recalled it at this time.

"Budao, you did a good job."

"Next, you can stay off the court and rest for a while."

In the rest area in Xiangbei, Coach Anxi waved to the players, signaling them to get closer. The first sentence he spoke was a compliment to Martial Arts.

"Huh? Coach, I still have strength and don't need to rest."

"The Shinomiya Tianye in Lingnan has already exhausted his physical strength. Coach Tian Gang will definitely replace him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, is it a good time to widen the gap?"

Wu Dao listened to Coach Anxi's praise very well, but the next sentence, which actually replaced him, made Bu Dao not understand, and immediately asked.

"It was precisely because that Shinomiya Tianye was replaced that I replaced you."

"Reserve your strength and deal with the second half of the game."

"Mitsui and the others still have plenty of physical strength, so I'll leave it to them to widen the gap."

Coach Anxi shook his head and said towards Budo.After hearing this, Budo also understood what Coach Anzai meant. Coach Anzai wanted to keep enough physical strength to deal with Shinomiya Tianno. From this point of view, Coach Anzai's decision was not a problem.

"Budao, your mission is now over!"

"Don't worry, I will make the point difference further widen. No one in Lingnan High School can guard against me!"

Mitsui Shou patted Budao's shoulder and said in relief.

"Tch, it would be nice if someone beats you up later."

Bu Dao looked at the confident Mitsui Hisashi, smiled, stretched, and sat back on the bench.Even though he was sitting on the bench, Budo didn't have idle hands. He held a basketball and dribbled slowly under his legs, switching hands from left to right, so as to maintain the sense of the ball.

Xiangbei High School is different from Lingnan. Except for Jinguji Budo, the newly promoted Miyagi Ryota will not have a subversive impact on the overall tactics.Therefore, after replacing Budo, Coach Anzai just replaced Mugure Gongyan, and let the players rest without making other offensive arrangements.

The timeout passed quickly, and Xiangbei High School served.

The catcher on the Xiangbei side was Ryota Miyagi. After getting the basketball, Miyagi quickly signaled his teammates to move into the field.Finally, he took the ball across the center line and into the frontcourt.

After Budo left the field, Xiangbei's offensive ball began to concentrate in the hands of Mitsui Shou.

Unlike Budo's lone wolf style of play, Mitsui Shou played as a team. Facing Xiandao's defense, although Mitsui Shou also adopted a strong style of play, but if he didn't completely get rid of Xiandao's defense, Mitsui Shou would not choose The most common choice for self-shooting is to send the ball to Mugure in the middle distance after attracting enough defensive force, or to Akagi and Chiba Oishi on the inside.

"Crack, swish!" On the first ball back from the timeout, Mitsui Shou broke through and scored the ball. After attracting Uozumi's attention, he quickly passed the ball to Akagi Takenori at the basket.

Although Akagi who caught the ball felt a little surprised, he was quite decisive when he shot the ball, and the basketball hit the backboard and hit the net.

Seeing Akagi's goal, Mitsui Shoushi silently returned to the field to defend, and did not have too much communication with Akagi. Even though these two people have already reached the second grade, they are still quarreling on the court.

"Steady and steady, we are one goal ahead!"

The backcourt player of Lingnan High School was replaced by Xiandao. Although Lingnan's score was far behind that of Xiangbei, Xiandao still seemed quite calm. He didn't seem to care about the gap in the score, and the speed of holding the ball was not slow. , giving a rather calm feeling.

"Little San, go up and put pressure on him, don't make him so comfortable~" At this time, Bu Dao had already put the ball aside, looked at Akira Sendo who was calmly dribbling the ball in the field, and shouted at Mitsui Shou.

"That bastard! How dare you call me mistress in front of so many people!"

Mitsui Shou was a little annoyed at Budo's address to him, but his body was remonstrated like a stream, and he quickly left near the three-point line and rushed towards Xiandao.

Immediately after halftime, Xiandao was blocked by Mitsui Shou, and his dribbling posture changed from the previous high-center-of-gravity push dribble to a low-center-of-gravity dribble.

When Mitsui Shou came up, Xiandao didn't stop the ball, and quickly broke through with the ball in disguise.Mitsui Shou's reaction speed and lateral movement speed were quite fast. While quickly catching up with Xiandao, he observed the positions of other Lingnan players from the corner of his eyes, and was wary of Xiandao passing the ball to other players.

Xiandao, who was caught up by Mitsui Shou, didn't even think about breaking through Mitsui Shou's defense at all. After advancing for a certain distance, he braked quickly, stopped, then changed direction, and started again.

During the sudden stop and quick start, Xiandao and Mitsui Shou opened some distance, and Xiandao also successfully crossed the three-point line and marched to the middle distance.

"Sendo!" Just as Sendo successfully broke through Mitsui Hisashi's line of defense, Jun Uozumi on the inside blocked Akagi Takenori, and raised his hand for a position.

Hearing Yuzumi's shout, Mitsui Hisaya, who was chasing Xiandao, subconsciously looked at Yuzumi, and subconsciously leaned towards Yuzumi in the direction of running, trying to intercept Xiandao's pass.

But at this moment, Uozumi didn't even exist in the eyes of Xiandao who broke into the middle distance with the ball. He didn't even look at Uozumi, and directly stopped the jumper and shot the basketball quickly.

Under the surprised eyes of Mitsui Shou, the basketball hit the backboard and hit the net, successfully stopping the bleeding in Lingnan High School.

"Xiandao! Well done, Xiandao!" Cheers erupted from Lingnan's bench again. Yuzhu, who hadn't waited for the pass, was not upset at all. Instead, he followed Xiandao back to defense with a smile, happily shooting Patted Xiandao on the back.

"Mitsui, the first grader in Lingnan played too easily!" Akagi Takenori picked up the basketball from the floor, looked at Mitsui Hisashi, and reminded.

"what?"

"Akagi, there is one thing you have to figure out. If you hadn't been stuck at the basket, I wouldn't have thought about wiping your ass."

"Before you teach me a lesson, do your own thing first!"

Mitsui Shou thought Akagi's words were mocking him, and his tone became less friendly.Akagi noticed the change in Mitsui's tone, and realized that Mitsui might have misunderstood, but he didn't explain, but stopped talking, took the ball and stood out of bounds, and gave the ball to Mitsui.

Hisashi Mitsui, who received the basketball, frowned, ignored Takenori Akagi, and quickly dribbled the ball forward.Just now Xiandao successfully scored on his head, he, Mitsui Hisashi, must pay back!
Several players from Xiangbei High School are used to playing fast breaks. When Mitsui Shou pushed forward with the ball, Chiba Oishi and others had already settled down and waited.

Miyagi, who was originally thinking about catching the ball and advancing in the backcourt, didn't say much after Mitsui Hisashi took over the ball. He ran into the frontcourt on his own, and led Lingnan's Nishibayashi Kenichi from the side of the baseline, slipping away. on the other side of the bottom line.

Although Mitsui Hisashi who entered the frontcourt had no intention of passing the ball at all, Miyagi was still running around happily, and Nishirin Ken who was following up was panting heavily. He was obviously very tired, but he didn't dare to relax for a moment.A third-year player, Miyagi, who is still in the first-year physical fitness, is even better!

This round of Mitsui Shou's attack seems to have become a little impatient, and the attack time is still very rich, but Mitsui Shou did not want to fill up the time at all. One body changed direction and opened some distance from Xiandao. A shot from outside the line.

However, Mitsui Shou obviously underestimated Xiandao's defensive ability. Although Xiandao was deceived by Mitsui Shou's change of direction in front of his body, the tall and powerful Xiandao still caught up with Mitsui and blocked Mitsui Shou's face with one hand. Enough to interfere.

The basketball crashed out of the frame, and the rebound was caught by Yuzhu, who had occupied the favorable terrain early.

Uozumi, who got the rebound, flicked the ball and threw it towards the frontcourt. There, Akira Sendo had already given up defending Mitsui Shou and ran towards the frontcourt early.

"Come back to defense! Back to defense!"

Mitsui Shou shouted while chasing Xiandao, but Xiandao seemed to have known that Mitsui Shou would not score this goal. When Mitsui Shou made a shot, he had already started running. The distance between the two has long been opened.

Xiandao, who received the ball in the front court, accelerated again, took off with the ball two steps away from the free throw line, and poured the ball into the basket with one hand.

A beautiful fast-break slam dunk not only ignited the Lingnan players, but also blew the counterattack horn of Lingnan High School.

After one goal, Mitsui Toshiya had completely calmed down, and Xiangbei's offense after high school became much more cautious. Every attack was completed when the attack time was almost full.Mitsui, who has calmed down, has a very high hit rate and a very good projection efficiency.

However, Mitsui Shou's efforts did not make the point difference between the two teams bigger. On the contrary, as Xiandao began to exert his strength, the entire Lingnan High School teammates were mobilized by Xiandao.

And Jun Uozumi didn't know what was going on. In the last 3 minutes of the first half, he ushered in a big explosion. He beat Akagi Takenori in the rebound competition, providing a strong rebound guarantee for Lingnan's chasing points. .

With the referee's whistle, the first half ended.

The score of the two teams was fixed at 51:45, and the point difference was narrowed to six points.

Although Xiangbei High School ended the first half of the game with a leading advantage, there was no joy on the faces of several players. Mitsui Toshiya's face was gloomy. He actually fought with Lingnan led by Xiandao.

On the other side of Lingnan High School, Xiandao and the others looked indifferent, and Uozumi even had a smile on his face.In the last few minutes of the first half, Uozumi's rebounding performance was overwhelmed by Akagi Takenori, which greatly increased Uozumi's self-confidence.

There is a full 15-minute break in the halftime of the practice match.

When the second half of the game was about to start, Coach Tianoka of Lingnan patted Taano Shinomiya on the shoulder, and asked softly in the opponent's ear, "Tano, have you rested?"

Shinomiya Tano, who had been silent for nearly 10 minutes, finally raised his head to look at Coach Tian Gang, and nodded silently.

"The key to victory or defeat lies with you, Tian Ye."

"After such a long time, have you figured out how to play in the second half?"

Coach Tian Gang withdrew his hand, hugged it to his chest, and asked.

"I will communicate with all the players by passing the ball."

"I've figured it out for a long time."

"I will not step on his trap again. And this time, I will change my style of play."

"After all, I came to Lingnan because Lingnan has strong enough teammates who can attack the whole country with me!"

Tianye Sinomiya's mentality has been completely adjusted, and his physical strength has recovered a lot. After the referee blew the whistle for the second half of the game, all the players in Lingnan stood up from their seats and followed Tianye Sinomiya into the court.

The aura of the Lingnan players did not weaken because of the score behind. On the contrary, the aura of the Lingnan players who returned to the court at this time was even stronger than before!

In the rest area of ​​Xiangbei, Jinguji Budao put aside the tea cup filled with goji berries in his hand, stood up, and said:

"It's time to decide the outcome!"
