With the three-point battle between Akashi Asuka and Midorima Shintaro deciding the winner, the second quarter of the game officially came to an end.
"Even Akashi lost, so it seems that the strongest shooter is Midorima!"
In the audience, Yi Yuejun looked at Zhengbang and Xiude who both left the field, and said with some sigh.
"really."
Hinata Junpei on the side nodded in agreement, but then changed the subject and said: "But only at the shooting guard position. And he made 22 consecutive shots and missed 1 goal. Such a shooting rate in high school is probably only
Second only to Midorima alone."
This sentence made Cheng Lin and the others silent for a moment.
Indeed, he made 22 consecutive shots and only missed one. This shooting rate may only be a little different for Showtoku who has Shintaro Midorima.
If it were any other team, this kind of hit rate would not be much different from hitting every shot.
And the more critical point is that Asuka Akashi is not a pure shooting guard to begin with.
This can be gleaned from the duel between Akashi Asuka and Midorima Shintaro. If the two duel, Akashi Asuka has a high probability of blocking Midorima, but the possibility of Midorima stopping Akashi Asuka is extremely low.
"It looks like Midorima's physical exertion is very serious!"
Even from a distance of tens of meters, everyone can see that the physical energy consumed by Shintaro Midorima and Asuka Akashi are not at the same level now.
Akashi Asuka can still maintain a relatively gentle breathing rhythm, but Midorima Shintaro's sweat is almost soaking even his jersey.
"Sidetoku's trump cards are probably almost revealed, but that guy Akashi hasn't even shown his true strength yet. I really don't know how far this monster has grown after a summer?"
"In this way, in the second half... no, maybe in the third quarter, the two sides will be able to decide the final outcome."
Not only Chenglin, but also several other teams with the 'Generation of Miracles' are not very optimistic about Xiude's current situation.
Although the scores between the two sides were similar.
But anyone can see that Zhengbang has not yet tried his best, but Xiude is almost forced into a desperate situation.
······
······
"Let's go! It's time to give them the final blow."
Ten minutes later, as the starting whistle sounded, the third quarter officially began.
Asuka Akashi stood up from the bench first, adjusted his wrist guards, and strode towards the arena.
In the third quarter, Xiude still attacked first.
Shutoku's tactics remained unchanged. When Takao Kazunari dribbled across the midfield, he immediately began to pass the ball frequently and used an alternating screen formation to create shooting opportunities for Midorima.
But this time.
Before Midorima Shintaro could find a chance to take action, he discovered something was wrong.
This time Akashi Asuka did not adopt the tactics of close defense. Instead, he took the initiative to keep a certain distance from him. However, although the distance became farther, Midorima felt a stronger sense of threat.
Just then.
Miyaji Kiyoshi quietly came to Akashi Asuka's side and gave Midorima Shintaro a look.
Seeing this, Midorima Shintaro decisively broke through to the right side. After pulling away, he was about to take a shot. But just a second before the basketball was about to leave his hand, a huge shadow suddenly shrouded it from the side.
Snap!
There was absolutely no time to react.
The basketball was mercilessly slapped down by a big hand.
Immediately afterwards, Midorima Shintaro felt another black shadow flash by. With the strong wind howling, Akashi Asuka had already captured the basketball and took the lead in launching a counterattack in the opposite direction.
"when?"
This wave of defense and attack was so fast that not only did Midorima's pupils shrink, but Miyaji Kiyoshi not far away was also confused.
To know.
He had clearly blocked Akashi Asuka's position just now. When did that guy rush in front of Midorima?
Midorima Shintaro hurriedly started to pursue, but even though he tried his best, he could only see Akashi Asuka's back getting further and further away...
In order to catch up with the score, Midorima Shintaro almost shot a whole quarter of long-distance three-pointers in the first quarter.
In the second quarter of the game, in order to cooperate with Xiude's new formation and to try to find open spaces, he continued to run throughout the game.
In this case, although the physical energy has not been exhausted, the gap in physical energy consumption between the two parties has begun to appear.
Whoosh!
Asuka Akashi rushed all the way to the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.
72:68.
······
"Damn it! Are you launching a general attack at this time? You really don't give me any chance!"
Takao Kazunari dribbled through the midfield and felt that Zhengbang's defensive intensity had risen to another level. A bad premonition gradually began to emerge in his heart.
Shintaro Midorima faced off against Akashi Asuka again, but Akashi Asuka still kept a distance to defend.
"This gesture..."
Seeing Akashi Asuka's relaxed posture, Midorima Shintaro's eyes suddenly focused, and he understood that the opponent had most likely entered a [wild] state.
"Ordinary attacks are probably no longer useful. In that case, let's change to another attack."
With a thought in his mind, Midorima Shintaro suddenly made a shooting gesture. This was not a fake action, because facing an opponent who had entered a 'wild' state and had some kind of skill for fake actions, it was undoubtedly a good idea to use a fake action at this time.
A stupid thing.
This is an honest conspiracy.
Akashi Asuka could only take action, because if he didn't respond, Midorima would throw the ball in without hesitation.
But once Akashi Asuka reacts...
Bang!
Seeing Akashi Asuka chasing after him to block the shot, Midorima Shintaro made a decisive pass and sent the ball to Kimura Shinsuke in the blind spot behind Akashi Asuka.
"nice shot!"
Kimura Shinsuke gave a compliment, and immediately took off and shot from the spot.
This was his only chance to take action, because if he was a little late, Omuro Giichi, who had just been thrown away by him, or Iwamura Tsutomu under the basket, might immediately catch up to help defend.
The basketball flew out with the fingertips, and Kimura Shinsuke's heart moved.
"This goal feels good and can be scored!"
Just when this idea came to Kimura Shinsuke's mind, a hand almost appeared as an afterimage, suddenly appearing above the flying basketball, and then...
Snap!
Accompanied by a crisp sound.
The expressions of Kimura Shinsuke and Midorima Shintaro suddenly stiffened.
Akashi Asuka turned his back to Kimura Shinsuke, slowly retracted his right hand that stretched out backwards, stared at Midorima Shintaro with cold eyes and said: "A weak and powerless attack. With such an attack alone, you will not think that you can break through me."
