As it turns out, although Xiangbei team without Liu Menglong is also very strong, it is not as strong as crushing the opponent. It lacks Liu Menglong's score, assists, rebounds, steals and blocks. Xiangbei and Lingnan played very hard in the first half.
45:51, Xiangbei lost 6 points, which also made the Xiangbei starters who had never fallen behind since the county competition look ugly.
Although Lingnan also relied on two three-pointers in the last moment of the first half to lead by 6 points, the lead was to lead. Akagi and the others had no excuses. During the break, Liu Menglong also criticized this group severely.
First off.
"Miyagi, your shooting ability in confrontation needs to be strengthened. The combination of shooting and breakthrough is not good enough. If you go back in terms of timing, continue to strengthen your training after going back!"
Miyagi was silent.
"Rukawa, I played solo in the first half, I was not sure. I must pass the ball when facing the defense. In the first half, the captain had a few open positions. As long as the ball was passed, it would be an open layup, but you
All chose to work alone, and the biggest reason why the team fell behind lies with you."
Rukawa Kaede's eyes were even colder.
"Senior Mitsui, you have no problem with your performance, but when Rukawa is willful on the court, you should bravely stand up and scold him. Some people will never know what mistakes they have made without teaching them."
"I know!" Mitsui Shou took a sip of water and wiped the sweat on his face: "Rukawa doesn't respect me at all. He doesn't listen to me after I said that. He's such a bastard."
"Because you are too weak." Akagi said in a deep voice: "If there was no two-year gap period, you would be much stronger than Rukawa."
"Bastard!" What Mitsui regrets the most is the two-year gap period, and he has never forgiven himself until now.
"Captain, don't talk about Senior Mitsui," Liu Menglong said bluntly: "You are the captain, but you let Rukawa do whatever he wants on the court. This is your biggest dereliction of duty."
"What?" Faced with Liu Menglong's accusation, Akagi's old face turned dark and was about to refute, but Liu Menglong did not give him a chance: "What's more, you have been training for so long and have not played out in this game at all. I
I thought you could beat the fish, but you performed well. I was very disappointed."
Akagi's old face turned red and she was so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head.
"Okay." After talking for a long time, Liu Menglong breathed and said, "In the second half, the captain continued to play. I'll organize the offense. You can fish more and live there. There are many well-known universities and sports schools in China in this game.
The coach watches the game himself, don’t be hindered, just show yourself!”
"You..." Akagi looked at Liu Menglong and was actually a little moved.
"What about me?" Mitsui Sho was anxious when he heard this: "Hey, I'm going to play too."
Liu Menglong chuckled and said, "Senior Mitsui rested for ten minutes first, and then played in the last ten minutes. Who made you have too poor physical strength?"
Mitsui hung his head down in frustration.
In terms of physical strength, he is even worse than Rukawa Kaede, a difficult person. Now, at this level, it will be almost done in half. If you have to play in the second half, you can only rest more and restore more physical strength.
The second half of the game began soon. With Liu Menglong's appearance, the support teams in the stands finally screamed excitedly. The situation of cheering for Lingnan in the first half was gone, and they were all changed to Sakuragi Sakuragi
I love you', making those men feel ashamed of women's fickleness.
Lingnan's players are also very nervous. They know Liu Menglong's strength very well. The defeat in the last warm-up match is proof that even if Liu Menglong just led a group of substitutes to play, they may not necessarily win, let alone Akagi is still on the court in the second half.
It's right.
Liu Menglong kept his promise. He frequently lobted balls to the inside line and asked other players to open up space to give Akagi a chance to play a single fish. Lingnan's players also trust Yuzu and did not send anyone to attack him.
One defense, but Akagi's midfielder was scolded by Liu Menglong, and he had been angry for a long time. At this time, Yuzu came to the door, so he was not polite. He used the ball to start playing singles at a low position. In terms of strength, Yuzu and Akagi were about the same
Akagi could not squeeze into the basket for a while, and at this time, Akagi began to use his footsteps.
First, he turned left, then turned right, and finally turned left again, making the fish turn dizzy, and finally he easily scored a layup with a low hand, which made the basketball coaches watching the scene glow.
What a beautiful footstep movement.
But this is not over. In the next round, Akagi continued to play singles. This time he turned around and faced Yuzhuo head-on. After a tentative step, Yuzhuo took a step back and immediately took a mid-range jump shot. The ball accurately hit the ball into the basket.
Xiangbei scored two more points.
The offense was opened, and Akagi was like Donkey King in defense, frequently blocking the shots of the fish and failing to make it. He also gave him several big hats. The power of the defensive end made all the coaches secretly admire him.
In the eighth minute of the second half, Akagi ushered in a highlight moment. Lingnan attacked and the whole team squeezed Xiangbei to the basket and missed the shot. Liu Menglong grabbed the rebound and passed it directly to Akagi, but Akagi didn't.
Passing the ball, dribbling directly from the backcourt toward the opponent's half. The opponent's defensive expert Ikegami saw that Akagi dribble was relatively high, so he stretched out his hand and wanted to take off the ball, but Akagi suddenly came and changed hands behind his back.
Drip the ball, throwing Chi Shang behind him, the last one played for a walk, and dunked with both hands. When the ball entered, the scene was in an uproar.
"The center actually dribbled from the backcourt and scored a one-dunk dunk?"
"Xiangbei's center forward is so strong! What's his name?"
"Idiot, he is Kanagawa's number one center Akagi Takaki." This was boasted by Mito Yohei in the stands: "When it comes to the national competition, Akagi will become the number one center in Japanese high school, hahaha!
”
"So amazing!"
In the original work, Fukasawa Sports University coach Ichio Tangzawa and the No. 1 center Sugiyama Sugiyama were sitting in the stands. After seeing Akagi's performance, a glimmer flashed in both of their eyes.
"Tait Xiang, what do you think of this ball?" Coach Tang Ze asked.
Sugiyama exhaled: "There are very beautiful skills, very few center players, and he not only has dribbling, footsteps, but also has the ability to shoot in the middle. If he is well trained, he may become the main center of the national team in the future.
”
Tang Ze shook his head: "Akagi's height is a flaw. The most suitable position for him in the future is the power forward. You can also let Akagi play center in a misplaced manner according to the situation on the court. This comprehensive technique is something that many players do not have."
On the court, Akagi Takaki guarded the basket, and forced Lingnan to jump shot from the outside. As a result, under the interference of Liu Menglong, the ball missed.
Seeing this scene, Sugiyama said: "But the defensive ability and deterrence he blocked is really strong. It would be great if he could grow ten centimeters taller."
"There is nothing to do about it." Coach Tangze sighed: "After all, our Japanese race is too short."
In the last ten minutes of the second half, Mitsui came on the court, with Mitsui added. Xiangbei's internal and external combination became more outstanding. Liu Menglong kept breaking through and passing the ball, either to the basket or to the outside. Eiki scored two points or Mitsui scored three points.
Liu Menglong also got some points. With the collective performance of the three, Lingnan was defeated in the last ten minutes.
121:98, Xiangbei won 23 points, not much, but it was enough to make Xiangbei the champion of the county competition and enter the national competition.
At the moment of the end of the competition, Akagi Takaki cried, the national competition! And he was the first place in the county competition to participate in the national competition. Akagi had never been so happy and could not stop crying.
As the opponent who was beaten by Akagi, Yu rushed over and hugged him, comforting him: "Akagi, congratulations."
"Yuzhu, congratulations."
The two big centers have been honing for more than two years and finally entered the national competition in the third year. They are both happy at this moment.
Although Liu Menglong only played for 20 minutes in this game, he still scored 35 points, 19 rebounds, 7 steals, 6 blocks, and 15 assists. Although he did not score five doubles, he was still extremely dazzling.
The closing ceremony was after the game. The MVP of this county competition was directly won by Liu Menglong and selected into the first team. It was the power forward, the center forward was Akagi, the small forward was Sendo, and the shooting guard was taken away by Rukawa Kaede.
The point guard is still Mu Shinichi, and no one expressed dissatisfaction with this lineup.
The county competition has ended, and Liu Menglong's life has gradually returned to the school and training mode. In order to better prepare for the national competition, coach Anxi arranged several warm-up matches for the Xiangbei team, but the warm-up match will be held half a month later.
The first question is the exam, because in this exam, Rukawa Kaede, Miyagi and Mitsui Shou all failed the exam. If they could not pass the make-up exam, they would not be able to participate in the national competition. This made Akagi so angry. However, Liu Menglong replaced Sakuragi
Afterwards, this exam was the first in the whole grade, which directly set a typical example for Akagi: "You three fools, why don't you learn from Sakuragi? Not only do you play better than you, but you also study better than you! You three
pig!"
That night, Akagi took Sakuragi, Ayako and three unqualified idiots to their homes and conducted one-on-one tutoring, Akagi tutoring Mitsui, Akagi tutoring Miyagi, and Liu Menglong tutoring Rukawa Kaede.
In fact, the so-called make-up test is to take the test papers that have been tested before. Liu Menglong never forgets it. He directly wrote down the questions of this test paper and wrote the answers for Rukawa Kaede to memorize them. Rukawa Kaede is not stupid, but he memorized things very quickly.
It’s just that I have always put my brain on basketball in the past, and my studies are very bad.
Although Miyagi had already given up on Ayako, he was still very happy with Ayako's face-to-face tutoring. Moreover, he had a good foundation and had the greatest grasp of the make-up exam.
As for Mitsui's sarcasm in the face of Akagi's sarcasm, he was very embarrassed. He always thought that Akagi was a big fool, but he didn't expect that this big fool was guiding him in his studies, which made him very embarrassed.
With Liu Menglong tutoring Rukawa Kaede, Haruko relaxed, but he was still very well-behaved and virtuous to prepare fruit drinks for everyone, allowing Liu Menglong to see the potential of her virtuous wife and mother. (To be continued...)
