NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

"In the second half, Akagi, Yasuda, Shiozaki, Kadota, and Ishii Kentaro will play first. Yasuda, please slow down the pace and start the attack with Akagi as the center."

During the halftime break, Coach Anzai replaced all five starters in the first half.

Because Hanamichi had the task of publishing the basketball data panel, he finally got the wool of the weak team and could get more data. How could he leave the court easily?

So they surrounded Coach Anzai and rubbed their stomachs and pulled their chins, indicating that they were fully physically fit and the first half was just a warm-up. As a result, they were hit hard by Akagi!

Although Rukawa, Mitsui, and Murasaki still had some strength left, they were still shocked by the energetic Hanamichi's super physical physique!

It was the first time for them to play the run-and-gun tactics. If they wanted to play the whole game like in the first half, they would definitely feel tired, which was against the original intention of Coach Anzai. Besides, it was impossible to let the captain Akagi sit on the bench all the time!

As for the fast break engine Miyagi Ryouta, it didn't matter!

To be frank, Miyagi's physical strength is definitely in the top three in the Xiangbei team, at least not inferior to Akagi, second only to Hanamichi.

In the original book, he was the ace Maki Shinichi who guarded Hainan throughout the game, and the man who fought against Sanno Captain Fukatsu Kazunari to the end.

So Coach Anzai said kindly:

"Hanamichi, don't worry. You and Rukawa will play in the last 10 minutes of the second half. Don't be nervous when you lead the first-year students!"

When Hanamichi heard what his father Coach Anzai said, he was like meeting a camel in the desert. He was so enthusiastic that he poured tea for Coach Anzai and massaged his back, making Coach Anzai laugh "Oh, ho, ho, ho!"

When the other first-year students heard that they also had the opportunity to play, they were also very happy.

In fact, Coach Anzai also had a deep meaning. After this period of training, the students who were able to persist in the basketball team were all those who had a passion for basketball.

For example, Ken Suzuki from Class 5 of Grade 1 and Masaru Ishioka from Class 6 of Grade 1, who joined the team with Hanamichi and Rukawa, could not stand the strict training of the basketball team and chose to quit the team.

Now, in addition to Hanamichi and Rukawa, the first-year players on the Xiangbei basketball team's roster are only No. 12 forward Kentaro Ishii, No. 13 forward Sasaoka Satoshi, and No. 15 guard Toki Kuwata.

(Information: Kentaro Ishii graduated from Otsuka No. 2 Middle School, and like Rukawa, he was a classmate in Class 10 of the first year; Sasaoka Satoshi also graduated from Otsuka No. 2 Middle School; Toki Kuwata graduated from Fujien Middle School, and was a forward in junior high school, but changed to a guard in high school. In the original book, there is a heartfelt monologue of praise for Hanamichi and Rukawa starting in the first year, and they are considered to be more motivated players in the first year)

…

Ten minutes before the second half, "Gorilla" Akagi started the bullying mode and attacked the basket crazily.

The burly "Gorilla" Akagi, who is like King Kong, is completely in a violent state at this time! He is like a mad beast, mercilessly embarking on a journey of raging bullying.

He rushed to the basket like a whirlwind, and with a roar, Akagi soared into the air.

He used all his strength to slam the ball into the basket, and the powerful impact made the entire basket stand shaky!

The audience stared at this scene in astonishment, they couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes.

The opponent was frightened and pale, and had no power to fight back.

Although Xiangbei did not use the amazing fast break running and gunning tactics to attract people's attention like in the first half.

But the dunks of "Gorilla" Akagi, sometimes even forcing 2 or 3 people to turn the tide under the basket, and the successful goal, also made the whole audience re-recognize Xiangbei's No. 4 center ~ Captain Akagi Takenori.

In the eyes of industry insiders, Akagi Takenori's performance was undoubtedly wonderful, and his evaluation was even higher.

"As expected of Takenori Akagi, compared to last year, his technique and footwork under the basket are more mature, and his dominance in the restricted area is getting stronger!"

10 minutes passed quickly, and the score on the field was already 116:17.

Compared with Xiangbei's positional warfare, the run-and-gun tactics are more suitable for the current bullying game.

In these short 10 minutes, Akagi scored 22 points, which was a good way to vent the energy that was not able to play in the first half.

Starting from the last 10 minutes of the second half, Coach Anzai replaced Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, Miyagi, Mitsui, and Mugure. Every 2 minutes or so, a freshman player replaced a senior player, until finally replacing Miyagi with Sasaoka Tomo, with 4 minutes left in the game.

At this time on the basketball court,All the players of Xiangbei are freshmen, and the senior players of Xiangbei are sitting on the sidelines to rest and watch the performance of the freshmen.

The frequent substitutions of Xiangbei team also attracted the attention of the audience:

"I didn't expect Xiangbei to be so powerful this year, and they actually sent all freshmen to play."

"The red-haired freshmen Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede are not like ordinary freshmen at all!"

"Beep! The game is over. The score is 160:24"

As the referee's whistle sounded, the Kaduno High School basketball team, which had been tortured by nightmares for a whole game, was finally completely liberated. Of course, it also lost the opportunity to advance in the game.

In contrast, Xiangbei not only successfully advanced, but it can be said that after these two games, the Xiangbei team became completely famous!

As a dark horse, the Xiangbei basketball team is widely favored by the audience. Not only is the style of play gorgeous, but also each of them has distinct characteristics:

Like Akagi's power under the basket, Miyagi's speed, Mitsui's three-pointer, Rukawa's offensive firepower and desire, Hanamichi's amazing amount of exercise and vitality, all bring different audio-visual experience to the audience, which also makes many viewers become Xiangbei supporters.

At the same time, Hanagata, who was late for the train, only saw Xiangbei's performance in the last 2 minutes.

In his opinion, Xiangbei's first-year duo is indeed powerful, but after all, they are first-years, plus the opponent's team is too weak, and the captain Akagi did not play, so the overall evaluation is: Xiangbei is a team with good offensive firepower, but it is still a step behind Xiangyang!

"Hanagata, this trip is finally worth it!"

The voice of Yuzumi came from the side, which was slightly teasing but full of reminders.

Hanagata Toru, a third-year player of Shoyo High School, became the starting center of Shoyo basketball team after retiring in the third grade last year. He made a name for himself in the winter game last year. His soft touch and signature fadeaway jump shot made it difficult for the center of Hainan basketball team, Kazuma Takasago, to defend.

Facing Yuzumi, who is also a center of Ryonan basketball team, Hanagata certainly would not show his fear. He pretended to be indifferent and said:

"It's okay, Yuzumi, but it's a pity that the opponent is too weak this time. If it was us Shoyo, we would have scored 200 points long ago!"

I don't know whether Hanagata said Kadono was too weak, or that Shohoku was too weak, or both. Yuzumi couldn't judge for a while.

But it is obvious that Hanagata didn't take his reminder to heart, and Yuzumi didn't plan to wake him up. Shoyo and Hainan basketball teams have dominated Kanagawa Prefecture for a long time. Next, maybe Shohoku basketball team will bring unexpected surprises to Shoyo (scared).

But it's interesting this way, just like they, Ryonan, under the planning of coach Tanaka, also want to give the Hainan basketball team a little surprise!

So in the face of Hanagata's words, Yuzumi just smiled mysteriously and replied:

"Maybe!"

Then he turned and left.

The Xiangbei basketball team defeated the opponent with a score of over 100 in two consecutive games, and the players seemed very happy.

Especially in this game, all the players of the Xiangbei basketball team played in the game. Although such a bullying game may become less and less in the future, in some ways, Coach Anxi's goal has been achieved. At present, Xiangbei is more confident and more cohesive.

In this game, because of the reduction in playing time in the senior grades, Hanamichi scored 30 points, 13 rebounds, 8 blocks, 11 assists, and 5 steals. The most popular person was Rukawa Kaede, who scored 53 points in the whole game.

Unlike Hanagata of Shoyo, A Shen, who watched the whole game, did not dare to underestimate this Xiangbei team.

After the game, Kazuo Shinso stood up solemnly and said to Kiyota Nobunaga:

"Let's go, this year's B zone preliminaries are very interesting. Whether it is the old strong team Shoyo or the dark horse Shohoku, they must not be underestimated and deserve our serious treatment!"

At least what Shohoku showed in this game surprised him enough.

Not to mention the Shoyo team on the other side, as long as Fujima, the star, is in charge, they will always be a powerful opponent that people dare not take lightly!

Facing these two difficult enemies, even the Hainan team must go all out.

Kazuo Shinso decided to go back quickly and report the intelligence he got from these two games to his own team!
