All Lingnan players were shocked, and the main players who had just come off the court were even more flattered: "Coach, we" "But!" Coach Tian Gang raised his head and said in a deep voice: "There is no way to make up for the mistakes. We have to do it now. What we do is to rely on the strength of the team to prevent the game from losing suspense prematurely, Xiandao!" Coach Tian Gang looked at Xiandao: "You are the ace of the team. Now the team has encountered an unprecedented difficulty, and you have the responsibility to lead the team out of it. Difficulty, otherwise you are not worthy of being the team's ace. " "This is difficult to handle!" Xiandao scratched his head and said: "That Sakuragi is too strong. I am no match for him in singles, even if he is organizing a team, Xiangbei. As well as Captain Akagi and the first-year Kaede Rukawa, the main structure of Shohoku composed of the three of them is enough to solve a lot of problems. In terms of defense, the three of them are also very strong. I am afraid that they will not be able to win this game. " "Asshole!" Coach Tian Gang suddenly cursed: "You said such depressing words, are you still worthy of becoming the team's ace?" Coach Tian Gang's voice was so loud that Xiandao had to block his ears and said with grievance: "But I really You can't beat him!" "You" Coach Tian Gang was so angry that he couldn't speak. The Lingnan side was gloomy and gloomy, but the Xiangbei side was in high spirits. Akagi shouted excitedly: "Everyone did a good job! A very good job! Keep fighting like this, we will definitely win!" "Oh!!" "Sakuragi, you did a great job." Caiko patted Liu Menglong on the shoulder, He smiled and said: "Although you performed very well during the team practice, I didn't expect that you would perform better than before when playing against the top four teams in the county like Lingnan. You actually suppressed even Xiandao. You This guy. Maybe you are already the best in high school basketball." Liu Menglong smiled lightly: "It's not a big deal, my goal is to become the strongest player in the world." Liu Menglong only said this to a few people like Akagi. , this was the first time he publicly stated his goal. As soon as he said this, the scene was silent. "Oh haha" After a long time, Coach Anzai's laughter broke the silence: "Every player should have his own goal. For example, Akagi, your goal should be to be the number one center in Japan. And Rukawa-san, Don¡¯t you want to join the Japanese national team and become the leading small forward?¡± These words made Takenori Akagi and Kaede Rukawa¡¯s minds roar. The first center? Chief small forward? The small universe of the two teenagers is burning "Next, Sakuragi will take a break from the court for a while. Akagi and Rukawa, you two will lead the team." Coach Anzai chuckled: "Don't lose too much! You don't want others to say this. It¡¯s Sakuragi¡¯s team!¡± The small universe of Akagi and Rukawa is burning even more vigorously Old fox! This is Liu Menglong's evaluation of Coach Anxi. Ten minutes after the first half, because Liu Menglong took a rest off the court, Lingnan finally regained his composure. But because they were overshadowed in the first ten minutes, after the first half, the score was an astonishing 58:23. The Shohoku team led by a full 35 points. However, Akagi and Rukawa played the entire first half and suffered from physical problems. Big problem. As soon as they walked off the field, the two of them slumped down on the chairs dripping with sweat, panting heavily, and kept pouring water into their mouths. "Oh haha, thank you for your hard work." Coach Anzai smiled easily: "Akagi, Rukawa and others who have played in the second half should rest! Sakuragi-san. You and Mumu will lead the other players in the second half." "Coach, this won't work. Is it a problem?" Akagi was suddenly worried. There is a huge gap between the strength of Xiangbei¡¯s main players and substitutes. Although Mu Mu can be considered the main force, Mu Mu's shooting is not bad, and other aspects are ordinary. Moreover, the only ones who did not play in the first half are a few first-year students. Playing with a few freshmen, it really doesn't matter. Problem? "Don't worry!" Liu Menglong stood up and moved his body and said: "We definitely can't defend it, but since we can't defend it, we will fight against each other. In terms of attack power, I believe that our Xiangbei is ranked among the top high schools in the country. He is also one of the best in the team." After saying that, Liu Menglong gathered the freshmen and said, "Listen, when you get on the court, just do your best on defense. Don't worry too much if you fail, but when you attack, you can do your best. Your task is to run and keep running. As long as you run out of space, the ball will definitely fall into your hands. All you have to do is to shoot the ball. But I want to warn you, if you miss three consecutive shots. , just sit down and don¡¯t hold the team back, do you understand?¡± ¡°I understand!¡± the freshmen responded nervously. SeeMenglong easily united these freshmen. Coach Anxi smiled and sat calmly in his chair, waiting for the second half of the game to begin. "Huh? Did the Shohoku team make a substitution?" At the beginning of the second half, Coach Tianoka saw that Shohoku had withdrawn Akagi and Rukawa, leaving only Liu Menglong and Mu Mu to play with the three freshmen. His eyes suddenly lit up: The opportunity has come. ! "Xiandao! Ikegami! You two go and defend Sakuragi!" Coach Tianoka shouted: "Uozumi, pay attention to protecting the basket! Cross-country, you defend Mumu, and don't worry about the rest." "Haha" Liu Menglong looked at Looking at the three timid freshmen around him, he said: "How does it feel to be looked down upon? It doesn't feel good!" "Iwe" This timid reaction made Liu Menglong sigh in his heart. After all, he is a recruit, and he has no courage. It seems that he can only rely on himself in the second half, but as the leader of the team, he still has to give a few words of advice: "Remember what I told you before, just do your best when defending. It doesn't matter if you can't defend, but attack When playing, remember to move and run to the position where you are most confident of scoring. As long as you run into the position and there are no defenders around you, the ball will be passed to you. " "Yes yes" "" In the second half, the ball still had to be decided by a jump ball, which made Liu Menglong feel pain. This long-ago rule was eliminated in his era, but the jump ball was beneficial to Xiangbei, and he wished he could jump more times in a game. Standing in the middle circle, Liu Menglong and Uozumi started jumping the ball. When Hiko Aida saw the height difference between the two, he finally laughed: "It seems that in the second half, our Lingnan will attack first." , saw Liu Menglong pass the ball to Mu Mu with the advantage of multiple hands, and then immediately took the ball from Mu Mu's hand and dribbled towards the frontcourt. "What!?" Everyone in Lingnan was shocked to see Yuzhu losing the ball with such a huge disadvantage. "Hey" Akagi, who was sitting on the sidelines, grinned: "I can't even compete with this kid in jumping balls, let alone Yuzhu." The team got the ball, and the three freshmen immediately followed Liu Menglong's request and stayed on the court. Running non-stop, because Lingnan focused all his attention on Liu Menglong, no one paid attention to the running positions of the three freshmen, and these three freshmen did not live up to expectations. Kuwata Toki just ran out of an open space, and the surroundings There was no one within two meters, so he received Liu Menglong's pass, but he was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Zhicao defended him. Sangtian panicked and passed the ball back to Liu Menglong, but he had already faced Liu Menglong. Lingnan team's defensive expert Ikegami, who had laid a dragnet, immediately intercepted the ball and ran towards the Shohoku half. Liu Menglong¡¯s face darkened. It seemed that these three freshmen were really useless. At least, there was no hope for them this year. "That bastard! You wasted Sakuragi-kun's wonderful pass!" "Who is that idiot? Get off the field quickly! Stop holding Sakuragi-kun back!" Liu Menglong was unhappy, and his support group was even more unhappy. Hundreds of girls yelled at Sang Tian, ??scolding him so hard that his face turned pale, his mind went blank, and he was reeling without knowing what he should do? Seeing this scene, a cold light flashed in Liu Menglong's eyes. After retreating to the vicinity of the three-second zone, he immediately opened his arms and a powerful aura surged out, overwhelming Chishang, Xiandao and Zhicao who were on the third line of fast attack. They were shocked. This this momentum is actually stronger than Akagi! Under the pressure of Liu Menglong's momentum, Ikegami, who was in possession of the ball, felt that he could not force himself, and offense has never been his specialty. "Xian Dao!" He quickly passed the ball to Xiandao. After Xiandao received the ball, he immediately rushed towards Liu Menglong's left side and made a three-step layup. Just as he was about to throw the ball, Liu Menglong immediately jumped high and blocked all Xiandao's attack routes, but here At this time, Xiandao relied on his body to stay in the air, changed the direction of the ball in his hand, and threw the ball towards Liu Menglong's other side. Snap¡ª¡ª Just when everyone in the Lingnan team was about to cheer loudly for Xiandao's beautiful disguised aerial layup, a big hand suddenly fanned the orange ball out, making those who were about to cheer seem to be stuck. The rooster on his neck cries so hard that he can't make a sound, and his face is red from holding back. On the Xiangbei side, everyone was dumbfounded: "What a beautiful defense!" Akagi and Rukawa Kaede were both thinking, if it were me, could I have defended this ball? After thinking about it again and again, the two of them sadly realized that it was simply impossible. Looking at Liu Menglong who quickly caught the ball after landing, Rukawa Kaede¡¯s eyes became sharper: I won¡¯t lose! After Liu Menglong caught the ball, he immediately requested a timeout, then walked to the sidelines and looked atThe girls on the stage yelled: "Shut up!" All the girls in the Sakuragi support group who were cheering for Liu Menglong's shot were suddenly silent. Seeing Liu Menglong's angry face, they were terrified: What's wrong? Why is Sakuragi-kun angry? "Sangtian, come here!" Liu Menglong shouted to Sangtian Dengji, who was standing on the court in a daze. "Ah?" Sangtian came back to his senses: "Who called me?"
