Rebirth of Akutsu, dominating the Black Basketball Team

Chapter 72: All is lost
"Ada, what do you think?"

In another direction, Tao Jing, who was sitting next to Qingfeng, asked with the same curiosity.

The other players from Touhuang around him also looked over, wanting to hear Qingfeng's opinion.

"Of course the winner is Jin! Is there any doubt about that?"

Qingfeng put his hands behind his head and spoke casually.

"Even if you have a good relationship with that guy named Akutsu, isn't your judgment a bit too arbitrary?"

Hearing this, Wakamatsu, who had been looking at Qingfeng with some displeasure, began to question.

"Oh, what you said makes sense, but Shintaro has always been just a shooter~"

Qingfeng lay on his back in the seat, and the light from the ceiling dazzled his eyes. He raised one hand to cover his face, and no one could see the expression on his face at this moment.

"Shintaro, what will you do when facing Jin?"

Qingfeng thought about it with some curiosity.

Chenglin, Yangquan, Luoshan... powerful teams came to watch the battle one after another.

Before the game started, both teams went on the court to warm up.

Midorima held the ball and stood on the three-point line to shoot. After making the shot, he took a step back and continued.

Shoot, retreat, shoot, retreat, Midorima seemed to be immersed in a strange frequency.

Many times, even before the basketball had just been shot and entered the basket, Midorima had already retreated in advance.

Retreat all the way to the midfield line, receive the ball from the green side and shoot.

The basketball drew an extremely high parabola and then fell steadily into the basket.

"Wow~"

"so amazing!"

"Clap clap clap!"

Seeing Midorima's shooting performance, the audience around were talking about it, and some of them even cheered spontaneously.

Then, Midorima turned around and looked towards Kamino's half.

"This is the first time we meet as rivals, Jin."

Midorima adjusted his glasses and spoke.

"If you can only shoot, you can't beat me, Shintaro."

Akutsu also looked at Midorima and spoke.

The two men's eyes met in the air, and they both saw the desire for victory in each other's eyes.

After finishing his conversation with Akutsu, Midorima walked to Shutoku's rest area and sat down, then picked up a frog doll that was placed on the seat.

This is Midorima's lucky item today.

Looking at the frog doll in front of him, Midorima was a little dazed.

"Midorima, don't study too hard. It's not good for your health. You should go out and play once in a while~"

"No, Daddy, it's nothing fun."

"How about Dad buy you a basketball? You're not short, so you can try playing basketball."

. . .

"Come on, Shintaro, let's go to the nearby park and play some basketball."

"Wait a minute, Dad. Wait until I finish reading this book."

. . .

"Shintaro, we should go home. It's getting dark and mom will be worried soon."

"Wait a minute, Dad. Let me play for a while."

. . . . . .

"Since when?"

Midorima asked himself as he sat on a chair.

It was obviously just a way to relax and have fun in between studies at the beginning.

But at some point, Midorima found himself liking basketball.

In junior high school, Midorima joined the Teiko Junior High School basketball team.

Looking at the talented teammates around him, Midorima did not dare to slack off and practiced shooting day after day.

Until one day, he was also called a "miracle".

Thinking back to his hard training day after day, Midorima slowly raised his head.

“All is done!” . . . . .

Soon, the match between Shutoku and Jinno began.

Shutoku No. 4, the tall Taisuke Ootsubo forcefully snatched the ball over Tamura Shigo's head.

"nice shot!"

Takao received the ball and quickly advanced towards Jinno's half.

As soon as he pushed past the center line, Takao was blocked by Shimizu.

Seeing this, Takao did not force a breakthrough, but passed the basketball directly to Midorima on the wing.

He passed the ball from the green side and immediately got into shooting position.

Akutsu didn't dare to be negligent and directly sealed it on Midorima's face.

Seeing this, Midorima did not force a shot, but quickly collected the ball and broke through.

But Akutsu didn't lose his position and kept biting Midorima tightly.

Taisuke Ootsubo's sudden pick-and-roll prevented Akutsu from continuing to stick close to Midorima, giving him space to shoot.

Facing the backup defense of Shigo Tamura, Midorima threw the basketball in his hand steadily.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc and fell easily into the basket.

After scoring the goal, Midorima adjusted his glasses which had fallen loose and calmly returned to defense.

"Defense~" "Defense~"

Xiu De's cheerleaders were also in the stands cheering for the team.

"Keep an eye on No. 11, don't let him get to the basket easily!"

Shutoku's basketball team consultant, Nakatani Jinliang, reminded loudly.

Shimizu dribbled the ball steadily across half court, and then immediately passed the ball to Akutsu.

The team now needs to hit a response ball immediately, otherwise Shutoku's morale will overwhelm Jinno.

Of course, it is safest to leave such things to the team's trump card.

Facing Akutsu's possession of the ball, Midorima steadily put Akutsu half a step away.

Just like advisor Nakatani thought, Midorima also believed that Akutsu's breakthrough to the basket posed too great a threat.

Akutsu made a triple threat move with the ball, and then immediately followed up with a fake breakthrough.

Seeing this, Midorima prepared to adjust his center of gravity and intercept in advance.

However, Akutsu didn't hesitate at all, he pulled his hips back and then made a direct shot.

Midorima, whose center of gravity had just moved backward, had no time to move it forward again and could only watch Akutsu jump and shoot.

The basketball went into the basket, and a white flower appeared on the net.

"Shintaro, you're not the only one who can shoot."

After scoring the goal, Akutsu launched a counterattack.

The two sides started off with ace-to-ace attacks, instantly igniting the passion in the venue.

On the next ball, Shutoku used Midorima's outside threat to stretch the defense and then passed the ball to center Taisuke Ootsubo.

After receiving the ball, Taisuke Ootsubo scored with a hook shot against Shigo Tamura.

"Run! Speed ​​up! Make the most of your strengths!"

Coach Gangcun also kept giving loud reminders on the sidelines.

With running and chasing, and muscles colliding, the game between the two sides entered a white-hot stage right from the start.

“Swish~” “Swish~” “Swish~”

As Midorima made three-point shots one after another, Shutoku began to slowly widen the score.

Although Akutsu can also score points, there is still a gap between two points and three points.

At the end of the first quarter, Shutoku was leading by nine points with 34:25 against Jinno.

However, the price paid was excessive consumption of Midorima.

Every time Midorima made a move, Akutsu would always interfere in time, which forced Midorima to jump higher and run faster, which invisibly increased his physical energy consumption.

Midorima now feels like a frog that can only jump forward continuously.

Once he stops, a python will appear behind him and swallow him.
