Kasuga Ryuhei reached out to intercept Kuroko's pass, and in an instant, the situation was reversed.
The offensive and defensive momentum of Cheng Rin and Zheng Bang changed instantly. Faced with such an accident, Cheng Rin was not even surprised and quickly started to return to the defense.
Last minute.
With Vulcan's super physical fitness, he finally managed to block the basketball before Zhengbang shot.
However this didn't change anything.
There is less than a minute left before the end of the game, and the score between Zhengbang and Chenglin has reached 73:56.
The outcome is already determined.
From the beginning of the fourth quarter, the moment Kuroko's invisibility failed, Shirin had lost the last hope of a comeback.
"Let's go! It seems that we will have another super troublesome opponent in this year's national competition."
Kasamatsu Yukio stood up, and before leaving, he took a deep look at Akashi Asuka on the field.
In today's game, Kasamatsu Yukio's trip was well worth it. He got good news and bad news.
The good news is that he gained a lot of valuable experience in dealing with Cheng Lin from Zhengbang, especially Zhengbang's method of dealing with the invisible boy, which made his eyes shine.
The biggest concern is not paying attention.
Although Hai Chang cannot achieve full-court man-to-man defense like Zhengbang, he may be able to achieve similar results through other methods.
But the bad news is that although he gained experience in dealing with Cheng Lin today, he saw another more terrifying opponent.
Especially the man named Akashi Asuka.
Although Akashi Asuka showed extremely strong defensive and rebounding skills in today's game, after all, this man never left his own three-point line!
If he leaves the frontcourt to participate in the offense on the opposite side, what kind of destructive power will he show?
"Beep~~~"
A dull electronic whistle sounded over the court, announcing that the game was officially over.
Cheng Lin's people stood on the court, as if they had received a huge blow, and their eyes had lost their previous fighting spirit and look.
This was the first time they felt such a sense of powerlessness.
Although the score difference between the two sides did not exceed 20 points until the end of the game.
But only the players in Seirin know it.
In today's game, the opponent Zhengbang was like a rock in the waves. It seemed that Cheng Lin's attack was fast and fierce, but in fact it was impossible to shake Zhengbang at all.
······
"It seems that Cheng Lin was hit hard in today's game."
There is nothing to say between the winner and the loser, so after Zhengbang's victory, he just shook hands with his opponent and saluted according to the normal etiquette, and then left the arena through the player channel.
"After all, it is a new team. The higher the fighting spirit of such a team before the game, the greater the blow it will suffer if it is defeated..." Akashi Asuka said leisurely with his hands on the back of his head.
Akashi Asuka is not just talking about this randomly. In fact, in the original novel, Rin is such a team. Although the players have strong willpower, it is a common problem for new teams that they are not left behind.
Impetuous, careless, proud...
He punches hard against the strong, but almost capsizes in the gutter several times when facing the weak. This is one of Cheng Lin's current problems.
"However, the way we won the game this year has been very gentle. After all, Zhengbang is a defensive team, but the monster Cheng Rin will face tomorrow does not know how to write the word "mercy".
"Aomine Daiki? That is indeed a very scary man!"
······
There was no training during the round robin. After all, even after Zhengbang experienced such an intense battle, he still had extra energy that could be used for practice.
Even Akashi Asuka is no exception.
So after the game ended that day, everyone in Zhengbang finished stretching and relaxing with each other, and then went home to rest.
the next day.
Zhengbang's first match is against Sumikan High School.
As the last school among the "Three Kings of Tokyo", there is no doubt about the strength of Izumikan.
But it is a pity that Izumi Hall did not recruit members of the "Generation of Miracles" this year, nor did it recruit players with the potential to become "Generation of Miracles".
Therefore, facing an ordinary team, Izumi Shinkan may still be the 'king', but facing a team with 'miracle' level players, the so-called 'king' is actually no different from an ordinary team.
This showdown.
Akashi Asuka still sat under his own basket the whole time and did not participate in the offense.
However, with its excellent defensive ability, Zhengbang successfully won the game with a score difference of 78:51.
Three of the four finalists will be selected.
Zhengbang, who has already won two victories, is basically certain to have won a spot to participate in the summer national competition in advance.
After the victory in this game, Akashi Asuka could clearly feel that all Zhengbang players breathed a sigh of relief. After all, in this one-round elimination selection system, every game will bring huge psychological pressure to the players.
No matter how weak the team is, you can't relax at all. Maintaining such a tense state of mind is definitely not an easy task.
But now, on the premise that they have been able to obtain a quota, everyone's mental state is much more relaxed in the final round-robin match.
"Coach, I have a suggestion." After returning to the locker room, Akashi Asuka suddenly said
"What advice?"
"The last round-robin match against Tonghuang, I hope we give up..."
As soon as he finished saying this, Akashi Asuka immediately felt that everyone's eyes in the entire locker room were focused on him.
If Akashi Asuka had dared to say such a thing before the victory over Izumikan, Tsutomu Iwamura and the others would have already directed their fists at Akashi Asuka without the coach having to say anything.
After all, in the round robin competition of the finals, as long as they can win two games, they can be guaranteed to enter the national competition.
But for any team, giving up the victory of a game early and blocking the fate of the next game is an extremely risky behavior.
And for a 'king' like Zhengbang, such frivolous and careless behavior is absolutely unacceptable.
But now that Zhengbang has secured a spot, naturally it doesn't matter whether he plays the last game or not.
But if Akashi Asuka can't give a good reason next, Matsumoto Ikken will still not be able to agree to his suggestion.
The next second, I heard Asuka Akashi continue: "Remember what I said before, Emperor Kiri has an intelligence collection expert? That was the former manager of Teiko Middle School. Her intelligence collection ability is very special, not only can she accurately
After collecting intelligence about the opponent, you can also think of corresponding strategies based on the intelligence."
"And this is not the most critical point. The most critical point is that she can even predict the possible future development direction of her opponent through existing intelligence..."
"So if possible, I don't want Zhengbang to reveal too many of his cards in advance before the national competition."
"·······"
When Akashi Asuka finished speaking, the entire locker room suddenly became silent.
Several seconds passed.
Only then did Kenjiro Sakamoto exclaim, "It's scary! It's so scary! What kind of monsters are the 'Generation of Miracles'! Are even managers so scary?"
"You can actually predict the opponent's development direction in advance, how can you continue to play this game?"
Matsumoto Yuken said in deep thought: "Hmm~~ What you said is indeed a trouble, but if we give up this game, although our trump card will not be exposed, the opponent's intelligence will not be leaked either!"
Akashi Asuka smiled slightly and said: "No, as long as we don't expose our trump card, then the one with the advantage will be Zhengbang. Because I have already collected the information about Emperor Kiri."
"Um?"
Matsumoto Ikken looked at Akashi Asuka in surprise.
To be honest, he was really curious about when Akashi Asuka collected the information, because when he dealt with Cheng Rin before, even he and Kitayama Yuzuki had not collected a lot of Akashi Asuka's information.
I feel that if I continue to do this, the manager Kitayama Yuzuki will soon lose his job.
After thinking for a moment.
Matsumoto Ikken nodded and said, "Okay, I agree to this suggestion."
Hearing that Matsumoto Ikken agreed with his suggestion, Akashi Asuka continued: "But we can't just give up on the duel with Emperor Kiri..."
Akashi Asuka touched his chin, his dark eyes rolled around a few times, then a dark smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth, he turned to face the Zhengbang people in the locker room and said:
