The Hainan team suddenly increased the intensity of defense, which caused great discomfort to all the players of Xiangbei.

But there was one exception, that is the talented and energetic (Sakuragi) Hanamichi.

He turned his back to Takasago, raised his right hand, and shouted to Brother Glasses for the ball.

Seeing that there was no other way, Mu Mu passed the ball to Hanamichi, but he didn't expect that Maki, who had already noticed it, saw through it and jumped in the air to steal the ball.

"Fast break!" This time it was the fast break of the Hainan team.

Amu accelerated and dribbled the ball in a straight line. His offensive speed was not weaker than when he ran without the ball.

In just three seconds, he ran from his own half to the three-point line of the Xiangbei team's half.

Only Hanamichi followed to defend.

Seeing that Maki still didn't intend to slow down, Hanamichi concluded that he was going to force a layup, so he rushed to the restricted area in front of him and prepared to intercept.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Maki Shinichi passed the ball without looking behind anyone's head, and passed the ball to the 45° three-point line on the diagonal side.

There, the three-point shooter Kamiso Ichiro was already standing, and his defender Mitsui was blocked by Takasago outside the three-point line at this time. He had no time to stop him and could only watch A Shen shoot a three-pointer in an open position.

12:10, the score was suddenly narrowed to only 2 points.

On the Xiangbei side, Miyagi served the ball to Mitsui and wanted to launch a fast break while the players of the Hainan team had not returned to defense.

Mitsui dribbled to avoid A Shen's steal and passed the ball to Rukawa Kaede in front near the midline.

Rukawa Kaede didn't know what was going on. Today's game didn't stick to the ball at all, and he threw the ball high under the basket of Hainan.

There, Takasago and Hanamichi were running towards that position.

"Too high! He can't catch it."

Takasago looked at the basketball passing over his head and had a rough judgment of the height of the ball.

Rukawa wiped the sweat off his cheeks and whispered:

"How can there be so many impossibilities!"

As if responding to Rukawa's words, Hanamichi jumped up behind Takasago and received the pass.

Then he made a light hook shot under the basket and scored the ball, completely ignoring Takasago's defense.

Then the two sides started a tug-of-war. Whenever the Hainan team narrowed the score to only 2 to 3 points, Xiangbei would expand the score to 4 to 5 points, and the two sides continued.

However, Hainan's side mainly relied on Maki Shinichi's breakthrough and distribution, supplemented by Takasago's pick-and-roll, which led to the offensive firepower of A Shen and Kiyota Nobunaga.

On the Xiangbei side, Hanamichi's inside attack was the core, and Mitsui and Rukawa's jump shots were supplemented to continue the scoring.

At this time, the first half was just over halfway, and the score between the two sides was 26:24.

According to the scoring trend of both sides on the court, this game is likely to break 100, and at this time, an accident occurred on the court.

When the Hainan team had the ball, Muto turned around and broke through Mugure with a very cool and cool move, but his shot under the basket missed!

Hanamichi rushed up to grab the rebound and passed it to Miyagi to start a fast break.

But Miyagi was surrounded by Amu's close defense at this time, and he didn't give him a chance to speed up. If he didn't do it well, this fast break opportunity would be interrupted by Amu.

Mitsui came to respond and shouted, "Pass it over."

Miyagi didn't care about it and threw the ball in the direction of Mitsui.

Fortunately, after Mitsui caught the ball steadily, he dribbled directly to the Hainan half without adjusting his sense of the ball.

Rukawa Kaede and Hanamichi also sprinted to the Hainan half in advance, but one landed at the 45° corner position and the other landed directly in the restricted area. Both of them were ready to receive the ball and attack.

And Mitsui barely threw the ball into the basket before A Shen made a steal!

"Is it a three-pointer?"

"Too forced, this posture is wrong."

"It's not a shot, it's a pass!"

It turns out that Mitsui didn't intend to force a three-pointer in front of the tight defense of Kamiso Ichiro from the beginning.

The latter is 5cm taller than him. The most important thing is that as a three-point shooter, Ah Shen knows how to interfere with the rhythm of a three-point shooter.

Instead of taking the risk of shooting, it is better to pass the ball to Hanamichi in the interior. From the beginning to now, he has proved several times that Kazuma Takasago is not his opponent at all. At this time, he can steadily score 2 points and keep the score advantage until the second half. When Akagi comes back, the overall situation will be determined.

This is Mitsui's basketball IQ. This pass is still high, but it just flies over Takasago and passes to Hanamichi. After receiving the ball, Hanamichi smashes it into the basket and succeeds in dunking!

In order to prevent Hainan from taking the opportunity to counterattack with a fast break, Hanamichi slightly buffered the force under the basket and then landed directly.

But at this time, besides Hanamichi, there was another person under the basket, that was Takasago. He watched Hanamichi fall and did nothing.Other actions.

As luck would have it, Hanamichi's foot landed right on Takasago's instep!

Then Hanamichi stumbled and fell to the ground holding his heel.

Because someone fell to the ground, the referee blew the whistle to signal a timeout for the game.

Hanamichi never dreamed that he would be treated like the "gorilla" in the original book. He knew very well that Takasago didn't trip him on purpose, but Takasago didn't withdraw his foot after he fell.

Mitsui on the court also saw it, pointed at Takasago and said:

"You did it on purpose!"

But Takasago didn't say anything, and the referee didn't call a foul on Takasago after determining it.

After all, it was Hanamichi who didn't pay attention when he fell, and Takasago just didn't "have time" to withdraw his foot or didn't realize he had to withdraw his foot at all!

Fujima, who was outside the court, looked at Hanamichi who was lying on the ground, touched the place where his right eye had been injured, and murmured:

"This is the second lesson that Hainan taught Xiangbei. It is not so naive to dominate the country."

Seeing this, Coach Anxi stood up and called a long timeout, then replaced Hanamichi and let Akagi return to the court temporarily.

Ayako, Haruko and the Sakuragi Army all rushed to the infirmary to check Hanamichi's injury.

The injury results came out. There was no bone injury, but the ankle was swollen.

While Hanamichi was thankful, he insisted on shouting that he wanted to return to the court. He ignored Ayako's dissuasion and simply fixed the injured area with a bandage, then walked back to the basketball court with a firm step.

Hanamichi's return caused the audience to exclaim.

When Hanamichi returned to the court, he looked at the timer and the score was 28:30. There were 8 minutes left in the first half. It seemed that Hainan had completely reversed the score in the 2 minutes when he was away.

At this time, Coach Anzai asked for a substitution after consulting Hanamichi.

But he did not replace Akagi who committed two fouls, but replaced him with Murasaki.

So Xiangbei's lineup became the complete lineup at the beginning.

It's not that Akagi doesn't need to be protected, but because Coach Anzai hopes that Akagi can share the defensive pressure in the interior.

As long as he is not the core of the team, scoring too much and holding the ball, I believe he will not be surrounded by Hainan's fouls again.

As for the next offensive core on the court, he looked at another freshman on the half court of Xiangbei, his glasses lit up, and asked Ayako:

"Is the time up, Ayako?"

Ayako pinched the stopwatch in her hand, looked up and smiled:

"Just in time!"

"Oh, haha, Hanamichi, please do your best to defend the inside line with Akagi when you go up. As for the offense, you can tell Rukawa Kaede a message!"

"A message?"

Hanachi was puzzled, and after a whisper from Coach Anxi, he suddenly realized and stepped into the court.

He walked to Rukawa Kaede's ear and whispered, and then everyone in Xiangbei saw that Rukawa Kaede's momentum had changed. This "offensive ghost" with unlimited offensive desire was back again. Akagi and others were curious about what Hanamichi said to Rukawa Kaede, but Hanamichi just smiled and kept it mysterious.
