Because Bodo deliberately lowered the pace of the game, both sides' attack and defense speeds were very slow, and most of the scoring methods were based on relatively stable but not stimulating inside attacks. Therefore, in last year's national top four, Bodo was the team with the fewest fans. Even far less than Fengyu from the quarterfinals!
Defensive wins the game, offense wins the audience, this is the simple truth!Hakata doesn't have a player with ace scoring ability like Rukawa or Sendo, but with a solid defense like steel, he got the runner-up in the country last year!
Because Bodo suddenly increased the defensive intensity, Lingnan players were extremely uncomfortable. They shot iron and could not grab rebounds. With their stable defensive ability, Bodo continued to play defensive counterattacks, pressing Lingnan to be unable to score. Two digits gone.
At the critical moment, the only thing that can bring Lingnan a turning point is of course only Xiandao!
A three-point shot from the outside line forced a long shot and scored; a strong breakthrough in Bodo's double defense, a successful foul on the Bodo captain, and a successful 2+1.Xian Dao gave up his original offensive action and began to show his original real weapon!
Super offensive firepower!
For Hakata, the spiky No. 7 player is as scary as Eiji Sawakita last year.
With Xiandao's explosive performance, Lingnan actually dragged the game into the overtime.
In the overtime game, the physical strength of the Bodo players was clearly at an advantage. Although Xiandao's scoring ability was terrible, they still relied on a solid defense to lead Lingnan by 67:65 with 2 points in the last 3 seconds of the game. !
Xiandao received the bottom line ball from Yuzhu. By the time Hakata halftime, there was only one second left. There was no time to hesitate. Xiandao made the last shot outside the three-point line!
Regardless of whether it is invested or not, this ball will be the last goal of the game!
The basketball continued to spin in the air, affecting the hearts of all Lingnan players, and finally got into Bodo's basket. The referee gestured to indicate that the three-pointer was effective. At this moment, the mood of all Lingnan players was completely ignited.
"Great, we won!!"
"We are the top four in the country! The top four!!"
The boys in Lingnan yelled and were very excited. Coach Tian Gang, who is usually very strict, did not stop them at this time, because he himself was very excited.Shigeichi Tianoka, who has always been aiming for the national competition, finally got the opportunity to lead the team into the national competition this year. He did not expect to be able to reach the national semifinals. The joy of it is difficult for outsiders to taste.
The Kanagawa C-level team Lingnan High School basketball team, with its ace player Akira Sendo's final three-point lore, narrowly defeated last year's runner-up Hakata University, and officially became one of the top four in the country!
In addition, they have defeated Fengyu, Mingpeng, Aihe, and Feitian's second and fourth teams in the previous games. Xiangbei, which has already ranked in the top four, has also received victory after Lingnan. In Hainan, Kanagawa Prefecture has now occupied three seats in the top four in the country, and the only seat left is the undefeated mountain king of Akita Prefecture!
On the fifth day of the match, Lingnan will face the undefeated king, and the Kanagawa Derby between Xiangbei and Hainan will understand the grievances and grievances during the county meeting.
Chapter 222-the prologue before the opening
The penultimate day of the national competition match day, which is the match day of the semi-finals.
There are only two games today. The morning is the strong dark horse of Kanagawa this year. In the extra time yesterday, he finally defeated last year’s runner-up Hakata Shōdai’s Lingnan, and the other side was the undefeated mountain king. The afternoon game was Xiangbei and Hainan. This is the so-called Kanagawa Derby.
Although it is said that the match in Xiangbei is in the afternoon, Xiangbei still came to watch the match between Lingnan and Shan Wang. In addition to supporting their fellow villagers, they also have to watch the match of Shan Wang. After all, it is not too serious for Shan Wang.(In fact, the latter is the main reason)
It’s not too early to arrive in Xiangbei. Although the high school league does not sell tickets, the entire stadium is already overcrowded, and it seems that there is almost no place to insert a needle.
This is not because there are many people who want to pick up the bargain and watch a basketball game without money, but because there are many people who support the mountain king. Here, the supporters of the mountain king may exceed 99%, and the undefeated mountain king is undoubtedly The "square" of today's game, and the strong dark horse Lingnan High School basketball world from Kanagawa can only helplessly become the "opposite".
This is the general trend, and no one can do anything else, because the opponent that Lingnan meets is the mountain king!
Because of the existence of Tie Nan, the super evil god, the people in Xiangbei still sat down smoothly. As for Hainan, Xiangbei does not have the leisure to take care of it. Anyway, they are also regulars in the national competition, and there should be a way to deal with it. .
Before the start of the game, the stands were full of discussions about Shan Wang.
For example, about how Zebei's skills have improved, or about their super rookie Kawada Mikio, not to mention the fact that before the national competition, the mountain king once beat the mountain king with a big score.
The stands are everywhere talking about the voice of the mountain king. As a Kanagawa fellow, Xiangbei players want to hear if anyone is concerned about the situation in Lingnan, but unfortunately, no!
Even if Lingnan defeated last year's runner-up, even if Lingnan is already one of the top four this year and is known as a team of super dark horses from Kanagawa, under the aura of the mountain king, their reputation has no meaning.
Mitsui sighed and looked a little unhappy.
"It's really an exaggeration. Were they like this before the Shan Wang game?"
"The popularity of the king is really unpleasant!"
"Just because they are mountain kings?"
Even if this is not a match between Xiangbei and Shan Wang, but surrounded by countless Shan Wang supporters, Xiangbei players still feel a certain amount of pressure.The promotion of Xiangbei has been along the way. This year, the famous friends who defeated Aihe and became one of the top five seeds will leave aside, Fengyu and Aihe Academy are both well-known strong teams in the country and have considerable support across the country. However, in the first-hand experience of Xiangbei, even if Fengyu and Aihe's supporters add up, it is difficult to compare with Shanwang's support team!
Organized, disciplined, and banners, fans and other accessories that cheer on the mountain king are not rare, and the number is huge. The number of support teams is the same as their football skills, which is the first in the country!
On the other hand, Xiangbei, although they had a record of defeating the mountain king once, but when it comes to the level of the support group...the first is the first, but the last in the country!
Coach Anzai is a veteran for many years. He has encountered strange and exaggerated things on the court, so he was not affected. After hearing what Mitsui said, he slowly spoke.
"This is the status quo, because they are the mountain kings and the undefeated kings, so all the spectators hope that they will win. When we play against the mountain kings, we will also experience this pressure."
Coach Anzai told the truth in one go, and also revealed the biggest difference between the official game with Shan Wang and the original practice game, that is, the so-called sixth man on the stadium-the fans!
The Japanese high school league is fine, but there are home and away points in the league, which can also reflect the influence of fans on the game.
The team playing at home is not only more adapted to the structure of the stadium, but also means that they can have more fans on the scene to support them. In the two teams, the cheering side is of course the first to take the lead in morale. .
In addition to boosting the morale of the home team, the role of the fans is also reflected in the free throws.
When the away team player makes a free throw, the home team’s fans will use various methods to interfere. Spraying trash is the easiest level. Suddenly waving a balloon in the stands and posting large photos of sexy girls. There are some swirling patterns to create a feeling of dizziness. Anyway, there are all kinds of tricks, and there are even the best weird dances in the stands. Anyway, the fans of the home team simply do everything to interfere with the free throw. .
Although Sanno fans can’t do that level, it’s impossible for Japanese high school players to compare with the mental qualities of league veterans. The horrible cheering of Sanno fans is already the greatest psychological quality. Stressed out.
It can be said that as long as it is in Japan, Sanno is the home stadium wherever it goes. The national competitions are held in Hiroshima, Kanagawa, Tokyo or wherever they are, because these places are all Sanno’s home stadiums, and Sanno’s undefeated name Compared to last year's runner-up and top four teams, these titles are completely meaningless, let alone Xiangbei and Lingnan, which only entered the national competition this year.
Back then, Xiangbei was able to defeat Shan Wang in the practice match. It was also because Shan Wang did not have the invisible sixth man on the field. However, Xiangbei wants to dominate the country. This is a pressure that must be faced unless Lingnan can be in today’s semi-finals. In the midst, I beat the mountain king upset, but the probability is really very, very low!
The Xiangbei player was silent for a while, and finally Naruto opened his mouth to break the silence.
"Then I can only say sorry to the fans of the mountain king, after all, tomorrow the mountain king will definitely lose to us!"
All the members of Xiangbei were taken aback, and then each showed a confident smile. This group of guys are super problem children who are strong when they meet. The explosion under high pressure is what they are best at showing, and tomorrow will be on the court. , The louder the cheers of the Shan Wang fans, the more powerful this group of guys will burst out.
Before the players from both sides appeared on the stage, the stands were already crowded, and Shan Wang’s fans occupied all the stands.
Among those countless people, those who can barely be called Lingnan fans are probably only the Kanagawa fellows in Hainan and Xiangbei. This is the tragedy of Lingnan and the pressure that the undefeated king must bear.
In the Lingnan Lounge...
Coach Tian Gang has a serious look. It is the first time he has seen a coach with such an expression since Lingnan players joined the team.
Coach Tian Gang's gaze slowly swept across every player in the lounge, paused for a moment on Xiandao's body, and then turned his gaze on all the players again.
"Today's opponent is the mountain king. I don't need to tell you how powerful they are!"
The gap between Lingnan and Shanwang doesn't need coach Tian Gang to say that they are also very clear about it.At the beginning, Ling Haixiang's three-nation coalition forces failed to defeat the undefeated mountain king, and even suffered a disastrous defeat. In the face of the powerful lineup of the mountain king, the only ones who can exert effective combat effectiveness are probably Yuzhu, Fukuda and Xiandao. The most terrifying thing is the undefeated tactics of the king-the audience is eagerly marking people!
Even in the eyes of the Lingnan players, the strength gap between them and the mountain king is too huge.Basically, apart from Xiandao, there is a big gap between them and Shan Wang's opponents. Now this game, it can be said that there is little hope, especially when they narrowly defeated Hakata Shōda in overtime yesterday. The continuous high-intensity competition, the long game yesterday, and the hot weather in Hiroshima are a big burden for Lingnan players. In all respects, Lingnan faces the mountain king because it is overwhelming. The unfavorable situation.
"but!"
Coach Tian Gang suddenly yelled, and the loud voice shocked the Lingnan players who had fallen in self-confidence, and subconsciously looked at the more serious coach.
