Chapter 106 Hainan vs. Xiangyang
Chapter 106 Hainan vs. Xiangyang
"We won, we won" the Xiangbei players were ecstatic. By winning the first game, they had great hope of advancing to the national competition. How could these young people not be excited that Xiangbei had entered the national competition for the first time since its establishment?
Compared to the excited Xiangbei players, the Ryonan players were in a heavy mood.
"Wow wow wow" Yu Zhu was the first to cry. "It's all my fault. I was too impulsive and ruined the team."
"Don't cry, we still have two games to play, and we still have a chance," Coach Tanaoka comforted his student. Coach Tanaoka knew it. It was a great victory for Ryonan to reach the joint finals. This year's Ryonan is still a little immature. There is still a certain gap in strength compared to other teams. This year is a year to accumulate experience. Yuzhu is only a sophomore, and Sendoh and Miyagi are only freshmen. Next year will be the best opportunity for Ryonan. I, Tanaoka Shigeichi, can wait!
After the game, the coaches from both teams shook hands
"Coach Anzai, I accept the defeat in this game with all my heart. Thank you and the Shohoku players for your guidance," said Tanaoka sincerely.
"Haha~ha~ha~, you don't have to be polite, Mr. Tianoka. Although there is a gap in strength between the two sides, the talents of the three students, Sendoh Uozumi and Miyagi, are very good and deserve to be cultivated... You will be stronger next year." Anxi laughed and expressed his thoughts.
Just when both parties were about to say goodbye, Yuzumi suddenly looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and both Anzai and Tiangang saw it.
"Oh, we are really sorry about what happened to Akagi. Which hospital is Akagi in? We want to go to his house and apologize." Tiangang realized what Yuzhu was thinking.
"Hehe, it's okay. However, Yuzhu-san, you must be careful to control your temper in future games. If you ruin a game because of your temper, you will regret it."
"Yes, yes, Coach Anxi, I'll remember it." Yuzhu nodded repeatedly.
"You are... Fukuda?" Tanaka Shigeichi noticed a familiar face in the Xiangbei team. Before the game, Tanaka Hikaru was paying attention to the tactical arrangement and did not notice the Xiangbei players.
"Tanaka... Coach, I have transferred to Shohoku and joined the Shohoku basketball team." Fukuda was actually reluctant to pay attention to Tanaka Shigeichi, but out of politeness, he still answered Tanaka Shigeichi.
"This..." Tanaoka Shigeichi didn't know what to say.
"Coach Tanaka, the next game is about to start, let's go back to the stands first," Mugure suggested.
"Yeah, okay." Tian Gangshi couldn't say anything.
"Coach, let's go to the hospital with Mori and Ayako to see Akagi," said Kusao Takeshi. Mori and Ayako also requested to see Akagi.
"Okay, go ahead. Be careful on the road." Coach Anxi nodded in agreement
"Coach..." Yu Zhu also wanted to go
"Yuzhu, after watching the next game, I will take you to visit Akagi. Kusao Takeshi, please convey our apologies to Akagi first, and we will visit Akagi later."
"Ok"
The next match was a showdown between the two traditional powerhouses in the county.

"The height of Shoyo's starting players..." Yu Zhu noticed the difference between the players of the two teams.
"In the past two years, Shoyo has not had any tall players join the team. Their coach Tateyama teaches according to the students' abilities and transforms Shoyo into a fast break team. They are famous for their speed and accurate shooting. In fact, this is also the characteristic of Shoyo. Beautiful basketball. It is about non-stop attacking." Tanaoka Shigeka introduced the Shoyo team to everyone
"A team like this is afraid of a team that has a super center and a super guard. The super center can grab rebounds and protect the rim very well on the defensive end to undermine the opponent's shooting confidence. And the super guard can restrict the opponent's guards and make it impossible for them to launch fast breaks and play at the right rhythm. This shows why Shoyo has never been able to beat Hainan, because Hainan has these two points." Mu Mu said from the side.
"Oh? Mr. Murasaki's analysis is very accurate. If you become a coach in the future, you will be an excellent coach." Shigekazu Tanabe looked at Murasaki in surprise.
"Coach Tanaka, you are too kind. In fact, Coach Tanaka, you are aware of this. You recruited Yuzhu and later Miyagi, weren't you trying to suppress Shoyo?"
"I do have this idea, but a strong team should be like this, one inside and one outside" Coach Tiangang did not completely deny it.
While the two were chatting on stage, the match between Hainan and Xiangyang had already started.
Hoshino used his height advantage to get the ball. Hainan took the lead in attacking. Amu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Since he had the advantage in the inside, there was no reason not to attack the inside. Amu passed the ball to Hoshino. Hoshino took the ball with his back to the basket and attacked Yan Wan. One, two
"Senior Xingye, be careful!" Ah Mu suddenly reminded from the outside. Before Xingye could react, his hands were empty and the ball was lost.
"Quick break" abandoned Amu and returned to the inside to complete the steal. Fujima said, followed by a long pass
"What an accurate pass!" Before Amu rushed over to defend, Fujima made a long pass to the ground, passing Amu and Fujita who jumped up to try to intercept the pass, and accurately landed in the hands of captain Sakata Norimichi, who scored a layup.
"Good pass, Fujima" Sakata came back and high-fived Fujima.
Hainan continued to attack, and Hoshino was double-teamed in his singles play. However, with the experience of being intercepted last time, Hoshino was prepared. He collected the ball and passed it to Fujita on the outside.
"Snap!" Fukushima rushed over from the side and intercepted the pass, and Shoyo launched a fast break. Fujima advanced to the front court and handed the ball to Higashima, who tried to block it. But Higashima got there first, and he jumped and shot without adjusting, and the ball passed over Kawamoto's fingertips.
"What a fast shooting speed, can it go in?" Yu Zhu was skeptical
"Swish!" The ball went into the net
"This is Shoyo. Although they are at a disadvantage in height, the players are very fast and accurate, which makes up for the shortcomings in defense to a certain extent." Coach Tanaoka began to play the role of commentator.
After two turnovers at the start and two counterattacks by the opponent, Hainan was not affected at all. Amu passed the ball high, and Hoshino got the ball in the air. This time, he did not put it down, but raised it high, turned around and shot. Xiangyang's center could not interfere at all, and the ball hit the backboard and went into the basket!
In this attack of Shoyo, Yanwan moved to the high position and received the pass from Fujima. Obviously, Yanwan has a jump shot ability, otherwise Hoshino would not give up the basket to defend Yanwan's jump shot. Yanwan saw Hoshino coming out and passed the ball to Dongzhang. Dongzhang received the ball and prepared to shoot. This time Kawamoto had caught up. Dongzhang suddenly passed the ball from Kawamoto's armpit. I don't know when Sakata had cut to the basket. Sakata received the ball and scored a layup!
In Hainan's attack, Amu passed the ball to Hainan captain Fujita. Fujita received the ball, accelerated into the paint, and made a quick stop jump shot to score two points.
Yan Wan pulled to a high position again this time, but the player Hainan replaced this time was Kawamoto. Yan Wan used a fake move to ignite Kawamoto, and then shot again, and made it!
Fujita fired from outside and hit a three-pointer
The two sides played extremely fiercely and scored very efficiently. Before we knew it, the first half was over and the Hainan team was tied at 48.
