Chapter 209: The Final Battle of Hainan: Sanjing vs. Amu
"Everyone played well. Although it was a draw, the main players got a rest. In the second half, we defeated Hainan in one fell swoop," said captain Akagi.
"Mitsui, A Shen made 4 three-pointers in the first half. Do you want him to be the top scorer in Kanagawa? Isn't it your turn to perform in the second half?"
"I can't wait any longer" Mitsui shook his wrist
"Okay, our starting lineup for the second half: Yohei, Mitsui, Hasegawa, Fukuda and Akagi. Mugure, you take a rest first. Yohei, you are responsible for organizing the team's offense. Mitsui, the burden of offense is on you first. Hasegawa, your task is to lock down Kamiso Ichiro. Fukuda, use your cuts to open up Kainan's inside space, and you can attack when you have a chance. Akagi, I'll leave the inside to you. Did everyone understand?" Coach Anzai made personnel adjustments and tactical arrangements.
"Understood!" Xiangbei players agreed in unison
Hainan dressing room
"The second half is the real decisive moment. Amu, I understand that you were accumulating strength in the second half of the first half. It's time for you to go all out in the second half. Other players should cover more for A Shen. Kosuge Shiro, you replace Muto in the second half," Takato also made tactical adjustments. Kosuge Shiro, 183cm tall, a sophomore, is the third best shooter in the Hainan team. Obviously, Hainan put two big shooters on the outside to stretch Xiangbei's defense and provide space for Amu's cut-in and the inside players' offense.
Soon the half-time break ended and the players from both teams returned to the field.
In the jump ball, Akagi learned from the failure of the jump ball in the first half, and did not fight Naito head-on, but used his hand to hit the ball from the side. Yohei was quick to get the ball, and at this time, Maki Shinichi was standing in front of him.
"Mito Yohei, right? Let me see the strength of the best defender in junior high school."
After a few fake shots, Mito Yohei realized there were no more chances, so he had to pass the ball to Mitsui.
"Snap!" The ball was intercepted by Kosuge and a fast break was launched.
"Don't underestimate me!" The pass was intercepted, Mito Yohei was furious, and immediately turned around to chase
"What a fast speed, Xiaosuga, be careful," Amu hurriedly reminded Xiaosuga.
"I've noticed it, but you first-year kid, don't try to interfere with my offense." Kosuge was confident. He was wary of Mito Yohei and noticed that Yohei was on his right. If he made a layup with his right hand, it would probably be blocked, so he used his left hand instead.
"Snap!" Just as he got the ball with his left hand and threw it out, it was blocked by Yohei!
"I've seen through your intentions." The calm Yohei successfully determined Kosuge's main attack direction through Kosuge's movements and gave him a big hat trick! The ball went straight out of the baseline
"Kosuge, don't let your guard down just because he's a first-year student," Amu reminded Kosuge.
Kosuge (ashamed) "Yes, Captain"
"Yohei, you go deal with No. 7, and I'll take care of Shinichi Maki." Mitsui made defensive arrangements
Amu received the ball from the outside, and Hainan's players moved away to give him space to play one-on-one. Looking at Mitsui who was still standing on the three-point line and defending him seriously, he slowly accelerated the pace of dribbling and said to himself, "Come on, Mitsui." There were still five seconds left in the attack time, and Amu moved, from extremely quiet to extremely active. He broke through directly from Mitsui's right side.
This time, Amu started up so fast that it created a gust of wind that even blew Mitsui's hair.
"What a fast speed!" Mitsui was surprised, but his reaction speed was not slow. He moved sideways and stuck to Amu. But Amu pulled the ball and turned to Mitsui's left side. With speed and strength, he wiped out Mitsui's defense in an instant.
Facing Amu who was rushing towards him, Akagi yelled, "Amu, don't even think about scoring easily."
The moment Ah Mu got close to Akagi, he jumped up forcefully, leaning sideways, with his left elbow against Akagi's chest, making it very uncomfortable for him to jump up, holding the ball high with his right hand, and when his body reached the highest point, he shrugged his shoulders and shook his wrists, and after a crisp sound of hitting the backboard, the basketball flew towards the basket, bounced twice slightly, and then went in. At the beginning of the second half, Hainan scored two points and overtook the score at the same time!
"Amu! Amu!" He challenged two top players from Xiangbei and scored. The audience in Hainan cheered.
"I'll defend Mitsui, Kosuge, you go deal with Mito Yohei" Amu made arrangements
Mitsui received the pass from Yohei, and facing Amu in front of him, he did not choose to break through, but passed the ball to Akagi in the inside. After receiving the ball, Akagi suddenly turned left and made a fake move. When Naito moved sideways to intercept, he suddenly turned to the right, jumped high on the spot, raised the basketball over his head and made a beautiful shot directly on the penalty area line. With a sound of "Shua", the basketball went into the net, the ball went in, and the score was 50-!
This time, facing Amu, Mitsui chose to take a step back and defend himself to give himself time to react.
Amu tried to break through Mitsui's defense this time, but it didn't work. Instead, Mitsui made an offensive foul.
"Damn it!" Amu handed the ball to the referee in frustration.
"Well done, Mitsui, but you haven't performed well on the offensive end yet." Akagi pulled Mitsui up
"The next round is up to me." As he said, Mitsui accelerated immediately after receiving the pass, changed hands behind his back, turned sideways, and spun 360 degrees like a gyroscope, bypassing Maki Shinichi's defense. With a sound of the basketball hitting the ground and bouncing, Mitsui received the ball, stepped forward, raised the ball high, and dunked it towards the basket!
"It's not that easy!" Naito jumped high under the basket and raised one hand high to block the basket.
A sharp light flashed in Mitsui's eyes, and the basketball he raised in the air was instantly retracted. His body glided in the air. When the two figures intertwined in the air, Mitsui lightly picked it up with his backhand, "Swoosh!" With a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew high into the sky, brushed the backboard, and fell into the basket. After his feet landed on the ground, Mitsui glanced at Naito and said coldly: "Isn't this easy?" 52:50
"Mitsui" Mitsui's breakthrough just now was so fast that even I couldn't defend myself. Xiangbei is really getting stronger and stronger. Is this kind of game interesting? Amu felt his fighting spirit burning
Amu kept testing Mitsui, but Mitsui remained unmoved, just standing still and waving his arms in front of Amu. Amu pulled the ball and accelerated to the left of Mitsui. Mitsui took a step back, still blocking the inside line steadily. If Amu rushed again, Mitsui might make another offensive foul.
Sure enough, Amu didn't rush in. He stopped suddenly and pulled back, and then he was out of the three-point line again. Mitsui didn't rush, but just raised his right hand in front of Amu. At this time, Amu stepped his left foot to the right of Mitsui and made a breakthrough.
"Hmph, just a fake move, what?" This time Amu broke through directly, passed Mitsui, made a quick stop jump shot, and scored two points, tying the game at 52!
Outside the three-point line, Mitsui dribbled the ball, swayed, changed direction, turned around, and finally took a step back and jumped up, sending the basketball out at lightning speed. Even Amu had no time to block it. With a "swish", the ball went in!
The duel between Mitsui and Amu lasted for 5 minutes, and the score was 61:57. This time Amu tore through the defense of Xiangbei and assisted Oda, who replaced Takasago, to get two points, 61:59
"Kumure, get ready to play. You will be the one to limit Shinichi Maki." Coach Anzai
"Leave it to me" Mu Mu pulled off the towel on his head
