As expected, Zhengbang qualified for the next round.
This was undoubtedly a happy event for Zhengbang, but that night, the players from other teams couldn't sleep at all.
For a team with the "Generation of Miracles" to force the game into garbage time in the fourth quarter, this is unprecedented, and has never even been heard of.
To know.
In the past, only the 'Generation of Miracles' had labeled others as garbage time, but this was obviously the first time that I had been labeled as garbage time by others.
Even if it is because of the conflicting attributes, it is enough to show the strength gap between Akashi Asuka and Midorima Shintaro.
······
"Did even Midorima Xiao lose so miserably? No... such a crushing game, I'm afraid it's already a bit inappropriate to use the word 'lose' to describe it."
It was cold outside the window, but the air was very fresh. A waning moon, surrounded by stars, revealed half of its body through the clouds.
This was originally a quiet and beautiful scene, but Kise Ryota had no intention of appreciating it at this time, because at this time, his heart was completely haunted by the battle between Masakuni and Hidetoku during the day, and it was difficult to dissipate for a long time.
After all, according to the next matchup list, their opponent Hai Chang tomorrow will be Zhengbang.
Before Akashi Asuka appeared, the idea that only the Generation of Miracles could defeat the Generation of Miracles had penetrated into the hearts of every member of the middle school basketball community.
Even the people of the ‘Generation of Miracles’ themselves are the same.
After all, if they couldn't find a rival, these members of the 'Generation of Miracles' wouldn't deliberately separate after entering high school.
However, during the summer competition last semester, Akashi Asuka led the team through five stages and defeated six players. In the end, even Akashi was defeated and won the championship. This concept disappeared.
In fact, this was originally a good thing.
Because for people like the 'Generation of Miracles', although failure will make them taste the pain they have not seen for a long time, it also re-energizes their fighting spirit and gives them a goal to pursue.
Only by having goals can we make better progress. This is a very simple truth.
But the problem is, is this ‘goal’ now a little too far away from them?
If Akashi Asuka during the summer competition last semester could still give Kise Ryota the motivation to catch up. Then after watching today's game, even Kise Ryota couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart.
sense of despair.
"Further three-pointers... A weakened version of [Devil's Forbidden Zone] that can be activated without entering [zone]... In addition, although it was not shown today, there is a high probability that it will improve again.
rebounding skills."
"There are no flaws at all inside or outside. Such an opponent is really disappointing!"
······
······
Just when Kise Ryota was worried about Masakuni he would face tomorrow.
At the same time.
Although it is already dark in Aida Kagetora's fitness training gym, in modern society, this time is the peak traffic period for fitness training gyms.
The gym was crowded, but there were not many people on the basketball court not far away.
On the huge basketball court, there was only one person beating the basketball and doing simple layups. And this person was none other than Seirin's center - Kiyoshi Teppei.
Not long after Muyoshi Teppei played alone, he saw another figure walking in from outside the stadium:
"Sure enough, I know you haven't gone back yet."
Kiyoshi Teppei saw the person coming, smiled slightly, threw the basketball over, and said: "Why are you here too? Tomorrow is the semi-finals. If Reiko finds out, he will be scolded at first!"
Hinata Junpei took the basketball and casually shot a three-pointer, but it hit the basket with a bang. Not only did he click his tongue, he said: "Tsk~~ What else could it be because of? The reason is of course with you.
It’s the same. After all, after watching today’s game, it’s probably hard for a normal person to fall asleep!”
Muji Teppei was silent for a moment.
Then he picked up the basketball and dribbled it a few times before doing a three-step layup.
There was a 'bang' sound.
Basketball strikes again.
Hinata Junpei laughed and said: "You haven't made it yet. It seems that your heart is even more chaotic than mine! Aren't you known as the 'Iron Heart'? Why are you so nervous now?"
"Let's play, let's make trouble, don't joke about nicknames. I've told you so many times, don't call me this nickname."
Kiyoshi Teppei rolled his eyes angrily, and then remained silent for a while before speaking: "To be honest, I am indeed a little nervous. Even when I faced the 'Generation of Miracles' before, I never felt this way. But
·······”
Having said this, Kiyoshi Teppei looked at Hinata Junpei and said: "Others may not know it, but you must understand that although Masahiro has defeated Xiudoku in the third quarter today, that is not far from Akashi's true self.
strength."
"Ah~ I understand!"
Hinata Junpei closed his eyes slightly and said silently.
He understood what Muyoshi Teppei meant. It was difficult to understand many things only by looking at them with eyes.
Although everyone in Cheng Rin had seen with their own eyes how powerful Masakuni and Akashi Asuka were in today's competition, they had never truly experienced it.
However, Teppei Kiyoshi and Junpei Hinata have truly experienced the suffocating and desperate pressure when facing that monster.
Although the 'three-point shooting' and 'man-to-man defense' shown by Asuka Akashi today are powerful, they are far from the opponent's true strength.
The truly terrifying place for that monster is in the inner realm.
Kiyoshi Teppei and Hinata Junpei once faced off against Akashi Asuka one-on-one, and that time, they suffered an unprecedented defeat.
At that time, it was not long after the summer competition ended.
Now a summer has passed.
The opponent's outside skills have grown to this point, so to what extent will their inside strength grow?
Just thinking about this kind of thing can make people feel despair.
"never mind!"
Just as the atmosphere on the basketball court gradually became quiet, Hinata Junpei suddenly smiled and said: "It's better not to think so much. After all, our opponent tomorrow is not Zhengbang, but Rakuzan. Maybe we can't even pass tomorrow's level."
If you can't get through it, why bother facing Zhengbang?"
Muji Teppei also laughed and said: "You are absolutely right. It seems that I am really worried about things. It is not a good thing to be so ambitious!"
"That's absolutely right! And if someone stays up late the night before a game and can't even maintain his condition, how can he possibly win the game?"
A voice came from behind the two of them. Hinata Junpei and Kiyoshi Teppei heard the words and subconsciously agreed.
