Chapter 105 A powerful enemy is resurrected!

Coach Taoka called a timeout, and it wasn't until the players returned to the sidelines to rest that Shigeichi Taoka could really see Shinomiya's state clearly. The handsome face looked a little pale, and his whole cheek was covered with sweat. Shinomiya

Without wiping, he sat on the bench and adjusted his breathing, letting the sweat collect on his chin and drip onto the floor.

"Symptoms of excessive physical exertion and collapse!"

Shigeichi Taoka has been a player and a coach for many years, and he knows very well why Shinomiya is like this. It seems to be a symptom of excessive physical exertion.

Coach Taoka turned to look at the rest area on the other side of the court, and saw Jinguji Budo chatting and laughing with his teammates. After pondering for a long time, he turned back to the players and said:

"Substitute someone."

"Tian Tian, ​​please take a rest after the end of the game. I'll send you on again when the game starts."

"Junichiro Koizumi, you will replace Shinomiya Tanoh and play."

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

"Koizumi, you are going to defend No. 15 in Shohoku, Sendō. You still defend Mitsui Hisashi. Don't give him a chance to shoot from a long distance. If he wants to break through, just stick to him."

"The rest of the players build a defense line around the paint area. No. 15 from Shohoku is used to receiving the ball in the mid-range position. Koizumi, you have to restrict him and defend forward. Don't let him catch the ball in that position."

"Yuzhu, your defensive players in the paint area must pay attention to the player who breaks through. Whether it is the No. 15 or someone else, they must make timely defense."

When Shigeru Tagoka was changing people, Shinomiya was sitting on the stool with his head lowered and didn't speak. No one knew what he was thinking at this time.

After arranging the defense, Shigeichi Taoka erased the notes on the tactical board and continued:

"As for the offense, we also need to make some changes."

"Sendō, during this period when Shinomiya Tōno is not on the court, we need you to link up the team's offense."

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

"Everyone should move more aggressively when entering the frontcourt. For the rest of the first half, the score will never be widened!"

At the end of Coach Tianoka's words, his voice couldn't help but become louder.

"Yes!" The Lingnan players who surrounded Coach Tian Gang responded loudly and then dispersed. Some were replenishing water and some were snacking.

Sendō sat next to Shinomiya Nodo, chewing lemon slices in his mouth, raising his head, looking across Shinomiya Nodo, observing Jinguji Budo sitting on the bench on the other side of the court.

On Shohoku No. 15, it was Jinguji Martial Arts who designed a trap to bring Shinomiya Tano down. Sendō who returned to the rest area had already recovered from his memories.

"Martial Arts, you did a great job."

"Next, just stay off the court and take a rest."

In the rest area of ​​Xiangbei, Coach Anxi waved to the players and motioned them to come closer. The first words he spoke were praises for martial arts.

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

"The energy of Lingnan's Shinomiya Tōno has been severely exhausted. Coach Taoka will definitely take him off the field. Taking advantage of this opportunity, is it a good time to widen the point difference?"

Coach Anzai's words of praise were very helpful to Budo, but the next sentence actually asked him to be taken off the field. This made Budo confused and asked immediately.

"It was precisely because Shinomiya Tōno was substituted that I substituted you."

"Conserve your strength to cope with the second half of the game."

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

Coach Anzai shook his head and said to Budo. After hearing this, Budo also understood what Coach Anzai meant. Coach Anzai wanted to retain enough physical strength to deal with Shinomiya. From this aspect, Coach Anzai's

There was no problem with the decision.

"Martial Arts, your mission has come to an end now!"

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

Mitsui Shou patted Budo's shoulder and said comfortingly.

"Hey, it will look good if someone blows it up later."

Budo looked at the confident Mitsui Hisashi, smiled, stretched a bit, and sat back on the bench. Even though he was sitting on the bench, Budo was not idle, holding a basketball and playing slowly under his legs.

Dribble with your left and right hands to maintain your feel for the ball.

Shohoku High School is different from Ryonan. In addition to Jinguji Martial Arts, the newly promoted starter Miyagi Ryota will not have a disruptive impact on the overall tactics. Therefore, after replacing Martial Arts, Coach Anzai just replaced Kimugue Kimibu.

, without making any other offensive arrangements, the players were allowed to rest.

The timeout passed quickly and the ball was served by Shohoku High School.

The receiver on Shohoku's side was Miyagi Ryota. After getting the basketball, Miyagi quickly signaled his teammates to move in. Finally, he took the ball across the center line and entered the frontcourt.

After Budo came off the field, Shohoku's offensive ball rights began to be concentrated in the hands of Hisashi Mitsui.

Unlike the lone wolf style of martial arts, Mitsui Hisashi played as a team. Although Mitsui Hisashi also adopted a strong attack style in the face of Sendō's defense, Mitsui Hisashi would not have chosen it if he did not completely get rid of Sendō's defense.

The most common choice for taking action yourself is to attract enough defensive power and then give the ball to Mumu in the mid-range, or to Akagi and Chiba Oishi in the inside.

"Pa, swish!" On the first goal after the timeout, Hisashi Mitsui broke through and scored. After attracting Uozumi's attention, he quickly passed the ball to Takenori Akagi under the basket.

Although Akagi felt a little surprised when he caught the ball, he was still quite decisive when shooting, and the basketball hit the board and hit the net.

Watching Akagi score, Mitsui Hisashi silently began to return to the field to defend without having much communication with Akagi. Even though the two of them had been promoted to the second grade, they were still having trouble on the court.

"Play steadily and we will score first!"

Lingnan High School's backcourt player was replaced by Xiandao. Although Lingnan's score was much behind Xiangbei, Xiandao still seemed quite calm. He didn't seem to care about the score difference, and his speed with the ball was also unhurried.

, giving people a rather calm feeling.

"Xiao San, go up and put pressure on him, don't let him feel so comfortable~" At this time, Budo had already put the ball aside, looking at Sendō Akira who was calmly dribbling the ball on the court, and shouted to Mitsui Hisashi.

"That bastard! He actually called me mistress in front of so many people!"

Mitsui Shou was a little annoyed by the way martial arts called him, but his body followed his advice and quickly left the vicinity of the three-point line and rushed towards Xiandao.

Just after halftime, Sendō was immediately blocked by Hisashi Mitsui, and his dribbling posture changed from the previous high-center-of-gravity push dribble to a low-center of gravity dribble.

When Mitsui Hisao came up, Sendō did not stop the ball and quickly broke through in disguise with the ball. Mitsui Hisashi's reaction speed and lateral speed were very fast. While quickly keeping up with Sendō, he observed the other Lingnan players from the corner of his eyes.

Position, watch out for Sendao passing the ball to other players.

Sendō, who was being overtaken by Mitsui Hisashi, did not even think about breaking through Mitsui Hisashi's defense in one go. After rushing for a certain distance, he quickly braked, stopped, then changed direction and started again.

Between sudden stops and starts, Sendō and Mitsui Hisashi opened some distance, and Sendō also successfully crossed the three-point line and traveled to the middle distance.

"Sendō!" Just when Sendō successfully broke through Mitsui Hisashi's defense line, Jun Uozumi on the inside blocked Takenori Akagi and raised his hand to claim the position.

Listening to Uozumi's shouts, Hisashi Mitsui, who was originally chasing Sendō, subconsciously looked towards Uozumi, and subconsciously moved towards Uozumi in the direction of running, trying to steal Sendō's pass.

But at this moment, Sendō, who had reached the mid-range with the ball, didn't see Jun Uozumi at all. He didn't even look at Uozumi, he made a sudden stop for a jumper, and quickly released the basketball.

Under the surprised gaze of Hisashi Mitsui, the basketball hit the net and successfully stopped the bleeding at Lingnan High School.

"Xian Dao! Well done, Xiandao!" Lingnan's bench burst into cheers again. Yuzhu, who was in his position and didn't wait for the pass, didn't feel unhappy at all. Instead, he followed Xiandao back to defense with a smile and clapped his hands happily.

He patted Xiandao on the back.

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

"ah?"

"Akagi, there's one thing you need to understand. If you hadn't been stuck under 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 that Akagi's words were mocking him, and his tone became less friendly. Akagi noticed the change in Mitsui Shou's tone and realized that Mitsui might have misunderstood, but he did not explain, but stopped talking and held the

The ball stood out of bounds and passed the ball to Hisashi Mitsui.

After receiving the basketball, Hisashi Mitsui frowned, ignored Takenori Akagi, and quickly dribbled the ball forward. Just now Sendō successfully scored on his head, and Hisashi Mitsui must return the favor!

Several players from Shohoku High School are accustomed to playing fast breaks. As soon as Hisashi Mitsui held the ball and pushed forward, Chiba Oishi and others were already in position and waiting.

Miyagi, who was originally thinking about catching the ball and advancing in the backcourt, didn't say much after Hisashi Mitsui took over the ball. He ran into the frontcourt and took Lingnan's Nishibayashi Kenichi from this side of the baseline.

to the other side of the baseline.

Although Hisashi Mitsui who entered the frontcourt had no intention of passing the ball, Miyagi was still running happily. Ken Nishibayashi, who was following the defense, was breathing heavily. He was obviously very tired, but he did not dare to relax for a moment. A

A third-year player, but his physical fitness is still better than first-year Miyagi!

This round of Mitsui Hisashi's offense seems to have become a little impatient. The attack time is still very rich, but Mitsui Hisashi has no intention of filling up the time. He changes direction in front of the body and throws some distance away from Xiandao. Mitsui Hisashi directly hits the three

Shooting from beyond the arc.

However, Mitsui Hisao obviously underestimated Sendō's defensive ability. Although Sendō was deceived by Mitsui Hisashi's change of direction, the tall and powerful Sendō still caught up with Mitsui and blocked Mitsui's face with one hand.

Enough to interfere.

The basketball collapsed out of the frame, and the rebound was caught by Yuzhu Jun, who had taken advantage of the favorable terrain early.

After grabbing the rebound, Uozumi flicked the ball and threw it toward the frontcourt, where Akira Sendō had already given up on guarding Hisashi Mitsui and ran toward the frontcourt early.

"Return to defense quickly! Return to defense!"

Mitsui Hisashi shouted as he chased Sendao, but Sendō seemed to have known for a long time that Mitsui Hisashi would not score the goal. When Mitsui Hisashi shot, he had already started running. When Mitsui Hisashi went to chase, Sendō

The distance between the two of them had long been opened.

Sendō, who received the ball in the frontcourt, accelerated again, took off with the ball two steps inside the free throw line, and poured the ball into the basket with one hand.

A beautiful fast break dunk not only ignited the Lingnan players, but also sounded the clarion call for Lingnan High School's counterattack.

After the ball, Mitsui Hisaoya had completely calmed down, and his offense after Shohoku High School became much more cautious. Every attack was completed when the attack time was almost full. Mitsui Hisashi who had calmed down had a similar hit rate.

High, the projection efficiency is very good.

However, Mitsui Hisashi's efforts did not make the score difference between the two teams wider. On the contrary, as Sendō began to exert his strength, the entire Lingnan High School teammates were revitalized by Sendō. Sendō Akira often led Lingnan High School to score points, either by surprise or by shooting.

Jun Uozumi didn't know what was going on, but he had a big explosion in the last three minutes of the first half, overwhelming Takenori Akagi in the rebounding competition, providing a strong rebounding guarantee for Lingnan's pursuit of points.

.

As the referee's whistle sounded, the first half came to an end.

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

Although Shohoku High School ended the first half of the game with a lead, there were no expressions of joy on the faces of several players. Mitsui Hisaya's face was gloomy, as if he did not expect that after Shinomiya Tanano came off the field, they Shohoku

He actually got into a fight with Lingnan led by Xiandao.

On the other side of Lingnan High School, Sendō and others looked calm, and Uozumi even had a smile on his face. In the last moment of the first half, Uozumi's rebounding performance completely surpassed Takenori Akagi, which made Uozumi

Pure self-confidence has greatly increased.

The half-time break of the practice match lasted for fifteen minutes.

When the second half of the game was about to begin, Lingnan's coach Taoka patted Shinomiya Tōdō on the shoulder and asked softly in his ear: "Tōdō, have you rested?"

Shinomiya Tōno, who had been silent for nearly twenty minutes, finally raised his head and looked at Coach Tagoka and nodded silently.

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

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

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

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

"It's taken me so long to figure it out."

"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 conquer the country with me!"

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

court.

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

In the rest area of ​​Xiangbei, Jinguji Budo put aside the tea cup filled with wolfberries, stood up, and said:

"The time has come to decide the winner!"
