Chapter 211: Decisive Battle in Hainan and Victory (Part )
The Hainan player returned to the bench, looked up at his teammates, and said coldly: "I think we should delete the word 'Always Victory' today!"
"Coach!" The Hainan players were shocked and confused.
"Look at the previous two goals, how did you attack? What were your offensive choices? You were only ten points behind and you just played so recklessly. How can you be qualified to claim the title of always victorious? You get dejected because of such a small setback. Where is your kingly demeanor? Why do you let others call you the King of Hainan?" Gaotou's words went straight to the heart of the matter, making everyone feel ashamed of his reproach.
"For 16 years, we have been called the King of Hainan. Is this title for nothing?"
"Have you forgotten the hard days when you worked so hard and shed so much sweat?"
"It's just 15 points behind. For other teams, it might be a dead end, but I want to say that this score difference is not a big difference for our team. We still have a chance. As long as we can play to the state we played in training, we will soon be able to make a comeback. Do you remember the game against Xiangbei in your first year of high school?" Gaotou's eyes swept over Maki Shinichi and other senior students.
"I remember, we were leading by 18 points, and Murasaki said 18 points was nothing. In the end, we evened the score. If Murasaki's shot hadn't stepped on the line at the last moment, we would have lost," Amu answered.
"Our opponents have taught us a lesson. Tell me, do you have the confidence to catch up?"
"Yes!" the Hainan team members shouted
"What is your goal?" Gaotou asked again
"champion!"
"What would you do if someone stood in your way to becoming a champion?"
"Beat them!" The Hainan team members suddenly threw away all the burdens in their hearts and shouted continuously with a very terrifying momentum.
As expected of Coach Gaotou, with just one move he stimulated the originally low-morale Hainan people into becoming as powerful as a million soldiers going to war.
"Wow, Hainan's momentum is rising!" The roar of the Hainan players was so loud that it reached the ears of the Xiangbei players.
"Don't worry about them. Everyone is doing well. Keep treating the game with a normal attitude and keep working hard to win Hainan. Remember, you are the best," said Coach Anxi.
"We are the strongest!" The Xiangbei players also shouted in unison
"Very good, next Sakuragi, you will replace Fukuda and strengthen the inside defense and rebounding. Your rebounds are the biggest weapon to block Hainan's outside offense. Sakuragi, do you have confidence?"
"Dad, leave it to me" Sakuragi patted his chest
"Akagi, Mugure, Mitsui, Hasegawa-san, your goal in coming to Shohoku is to dominate the country. You have been preparing for this goal for three years. Let Hainan be your first step in achieving this goal."
"Yes! Coach!"
Return from pause
Hainan attacked, and the Hainan lineup was adjusted. Kosuge was substituted and Takasago came on. Naito came out to cover for Amu. Amu cut into the penalty area and threw the ball. It turned out that Takasago was covering for A Shen. A Shen was left unguarded and made a three-pointer!
As soon as Murasaki received the serve and saw the situation, he was stunned. A Shen and Maki Shinichi had surrounded and double-teamed him, making it almost impossible for him to break out. It was obvious that Xiangbei was not prepared enough to deal with Hainan. They ran directly to the frontcourt as usual. As a result, Murasaki was the only one left in the backcourt. Murasaki tried to dribble away from the two men.
"Snap!" Oda got behind Murasakibara at some point and intercepted the ball. Hainan counterattacked directly and scored, 83:73. In just 35 seconds, Hainan narrowed the gap to ten points.
"It's okay, don't worry, we are the ones leading. Take it slow." Although the ball was intercepted just now, Murasakibara was very calm. This kind of game is interesting. Xiangbei also learned from the last lesson. Mitsui came back to support Murasakibara, and Akagi and Sakuragi also helped Murasakibara to cover on both sides. Xiangbei thus broke the double team of Kainan. Murasakibara pushed the ball to the half court and passed it to the inside. Akagi singled out Naito, turned his back to the basket and shot, but Takasago rushed over from the side and jumped up with all his strength. This time, he successfully interfered with Akagi, and Akagi missed the shot!
"Rebounds are my talent." Takasago made up for the defense and gave Sakuragi a chance, and Sakuragi grabbed the offensive rebound.
As soon as Sakuragi landed, a hand reached out to intercept the ball.
"Be careful, Sakuragi!" Mitsui shouted.
However, before Sakuragi could come to his senses, the ball was already in Amu's hands. Amu passed the ball directly. At some point, Naito had already started to run out of the three-point line.
"Very good, if this ball goes in, the gap between us will only be eight points," Gao Tou was secretly delighted.
"Snap!" Just as Naito took a step after receiving the ball, the ball was intercepted by a hand that stretched out from the side. It was Mugure! Mugure had noticed Naito's move and immediately rushed in Naito's direction.
After Mu Mu finished stealing the ball, he took a step and shot a three-pointer directly, which hit the target! 86:73
"Damn it!" There was a chance to close the gap, but the ball was intercepted by Mu Mu, who scored a three-pointer instead. Gao Tou angrily broke the folding fan in his hand.
"It's okay, don't worry." Facing Mumu, Amu used his right foot as the axis and turned his body to try to find a breakthrough. After several attempts, Amu suddenly started and pressed over half of Mumu's body.
Murasaki reacted quickly, starting almost at the same time. He did not rashly reach out to steal the ball, but instead used his experience to block the best route for Maki to cut inside.
Ah Mu stopped and turned suddenly, dribbled the ball between his legs, and used a realistic fake move and a difference in rhythm to create a shooting angle in an instant. With almost no adjustment, Mu shot with lightning speed.
Mu Mu forced his center of gravity to turn and reached out immediately, but it was 0.1 seconds too late, and Amu made a two-point shot. 86:75
"As expected of Amu, at this moment, he still has such speed and such a steady shot." Mu Mu couldn't help but admire, but admiration is admiration
Mu Mu dribbled the ball with his right hand, and it passed under his crotch and into his left hand. At the same time, he took a big step diagonally upward with his right leg. With just this big step, he blocked Ah Mu's entire body to the side and back. Then he took a few steps and instantly came to the basket. Holding the ball with both hands, he jumped high, facing Naito who was defending, raised his right hand high, and threw the ball into the basket. The moment the ball flew out, the referee whistled.
The ball hits the backboard and goes into the frame. "White No. 9 commits a foul, the goal counts, and one penalty is added" 88:75
"Akagi, Mitsui" In the last ball, Akagi fell to the ground after the layup. Akagi and Mitsui came over to pull up Akagi. Akagi made a gesture to the two of them, and they understood what he meant.
Mu Mu rubbed his arm and shot a free throw
"The ball's trajectory is wrong. It seems that Naito's foul has affected him. Rebound," Amu reminded
Sure enough, the ball hit the front line and went out, but at the same time a black shadow jumped high and grabbed the rebound. It was Akagi! Mitsui Akagi was in the air and threw the ball directly out. The Hainan players looked in the direction of the ball and were shocked. Mitsui was unguarded.
Mitsui naturally would not waste such a good opportunity and made a three-pointer. 91:75, the score difference became 16 points!
"Didn't you carefully plan this goal?" Amu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted.
"That's right, the reason I rubbed my arm was to confuse you and make you think I was affected by a foul. We have demonstrated this shot many times in previous practice, just to defeat you." Mu Mu replied coldly, and after saying this, Mu Mu walked away.
