The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

Uozumi looked up and saw Mu Shenyi and other Hainan players sitting over there.

Uozumi frowned.

"Hainan? What happened to Hainan?"

Taoka Shigeichi sighed.

It was a last resort to replace two players and give up the game.

First of all, there was really no hope of winning. He didn't want Sendō and Uozumi to continue to accept the ruthless torture of No. 13, so that their confidence and state would further plummet.

Secondly, it was because there were people from Hainan sitting in the stands.

After all, the county preliminaries are not over yet. Lingnan lost this game, and then there will be games against Hainan and Buri next week. There will definitely be no problem in beating Buri, but Hainan is still a tough battle.

Everyone is an old rival. Taoka Shigeichi is very clear about the strength of Hainan. They are far less perverted than Xiangyang now. Even if they give up this game, Lingnan still has a chance to compete for the precious national competition. Admission ticket.

But the premise is that more of Lingnan's shortcomings and trump cards cannot be exposed in front of Hainan.

So giving up the game in time is the only and best choice now...

Uozumi finally sat down and covered his head with a white towel, as if he didn't want others to see his current expression, but everyone could hear his extremely heavy breathing.

Xiandao's mentality was much better than his. He sat on the bench and drank some water. The expression on his face still seemed calm, but he didn't speak anymore.

Taoka Shigeichi couldn't help but look at Gao Touli, who was waving a folding fan in the stands.

That guy... has been fighting for half his life, why are you happy now? And shake that broken fan.

Next week you will feel the perversion of this Xiangyang!

By then, your self-righteous smile and the so-called trump card in your hand will be destroyed to the last bit!

Taoka Shigeichi thought fiercely.

………………

With Lingnan's two main players gone, Xiangyang immediately made corresponding adjustments.

Lin Dong, Fujima, and Hanakata were replaced by Takano Shoichi, Nagano Mitsuru and second-year substitute center Nomizu Nozomi.

At this time, there was warm applause and cheers in the arena.

Of course, there will naturally be some small complaints, because most of them still want to watch No. 13's unreasonable 3-pointer again, and want to see his various tricks!

At this time, there were 4 minutes and 21 seconds left in the second quarter, and the score was 29:51.

But with the referee's whistle, the game officially entered garbage time...

Lingnan, who had changed his formation, seemed to have regained a little vitality when facing Xiangyang who had also changed his formation.

Ikegami single-handedly defended Nagano, who had just come on the field and was not in good condition. He successfully stole the ball and made a one-stop layup, regaining two points for Lingnan.

But right after that, guard Taku Ito attacked Lingnan's basket and scored a layup with a move that everyone thought was extremely awkward, bringing the point difference back to 22 points.

Afterwards, the two sides went back and forth, and Xiangyang's tall lineup still had a certain degree of suppression on Lingnan's substitutes. Although Lingnan's substitutes performed eagerly and attacked fiercely, the score difference was not narrowed by Lingnan.

By the end of the second quarter, at 38:62, the point difference had been widened to 24 points.

In the stands of the arena, it was obvious that not many people cared about the game below.

Whether it was during the second quarter or halftime, the person who talked the most in the stands was still No. 13 Lin Dong of Xiangyang.

Although the statistics are not as eye-catching as the 29 points and 8 steals in a single quarter in the Xiangbei game, the various difficult three-pointers, various sharp breakthroughs, and the final unsolvable work, after more than ten minutes, I feel that although he is relaxed , but the damage caused to Lingnan seems to be much greater than the damage caused to Xiangbei.

After all, everyone can see that Lingnan's targeting of Lin Dong is definitely not comparable to that of Xiangbei, who was unprepared at the beginning!

But there is no egg...

That No. 13 from Shoyang, that super rookie from the Dragon Kingdom, that guy who was hailed by the newspaper as the new generation king of Kanagawa.

He is like Mount Everest standing on top of the world, with an absolutely domineering attitude overlooking this Lingnan, overlooking the Immortal Way that claims to be able to challenge the throne of Kanagawa!

The new king of Kanagawa, who scored 58 points in the last quarter-finals and won the prefecture preliminaries scoring title, has a clean sheet!

At this moment, his name is Invincible!

………………

"Coach Anzai, do we really have a chance to stop him next year?" Rukawa Kaede in the stands finally couldn't help but ask this question.

The first time he faced off against that guy, he felt that he would be able to catch up if he worked hard.

After coach Anxi took him to review the video many times, he began to feel that even if he tried his best, he might still have to rely on the help of his teammates to restrain the opponent at this time next year.

And now... Frankly speaking, Rukawa Kaede felt powerless for the first time.

Even if he works hard, can he really catch up with Lin Dong now?

What's more, don't forget that at this time next year, you won't be the only one making progress, the other person will also make progress, and may even make more progress than you!

"Hehehe..." Coach Anxi laughed.

He admitted that the 13th had once again refreshed his understanding and evaluation, but his words would never be without purpose, even before this new understanding appeared.

"I will." Coach Anzai grabbed Rukawa Kaede's hand with his left hand, and Sakuragi Hanamichi's hand with his right hand.

"I said, you can only restrain him with the help of your teammates... You only saw the growth of you and him next year, but you didn't see the growth of your teammates..."

As Coach Anxi said this, he pulled the hands of the two people with serious faces and folded them together.

"Sakuragi's growth will not be lost to that of you and him. Even...believe me, your future is equally limitless and you can definitely achieve it!"

Coach Anxi did not exaggerate. Of course, there were some things he did not say.

That is, by next year, Shoyang's main players Fujima, Hanagata, and even Takano Nagano will have left, leaving only role players like Ito Taku, and Shoyang will actually fall into a state of inactivity.

At that time, facing a team with only Lin Dong, Shohoku has Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede, plus Miyagi Ryota, who is only 2 years old this year... then there must be a chance!

Sakuragi Hanamichi's ears suddenly perked up.

Dad Anxi actually said that his growth would not be lost to that of Stinky Fox and Brother Gao Ren?

Dad is indeed a discerning man!

"Yeah!" He nodded heavily with his eyes shining.

But then, he felt that his and Rukawa Kaede's hands were intertwined...

"Ah! Dad, what are you doing! My hand is going to rot! Ahhhh! I don't want this hand anymore!" He quickly pulled away in a hurry, shaking his hand in an exaggerated way.

Rukawa Kaede frowned and took out a triangular handkerchief.

"It doesn't matter whether I win or not, I just don't know if idiots are contagious..."

Coach Anxi couldn't help laughing: "Hehehe..."

It’s a famous specialty of northern Hunan as always, but it’s also quite interesting, isn’t it?

……………………

The second half of the game was lackluster.

Lingnan did not replace the main force, so Xiangyang did not move.

Lin Dong, Fujima and Hanagata were all sitting on the bench chatting leisurely.

The substitute lineups on both sides fought hard. Although they worked hard and were in good condition, the excitement of the game was naturally greatly reduced.

In fact, Shigeichi Tagoka wanted Fukuda to come up and practice, but considering his obvious defensive shortcomings and fearing that he would be more exposed to Hainan, he finally chose to put him on the bench.

In the third quarter, Lingnan relied on faith and hard work to recover the 5-point difference, but after the fourth quarter, the score was regained by Xiangyang's substitutes who wanted to prove themselves.

It can only be said that the bench lineups of both sides are similar.

Until the referee's final whistle sounded, the score on the electronic scoreboard was finally fixed at 72:95.

Xiangyang defeated Lingnan by 23 points and successfully advanced to the next round of the semi-finals.
