Chapter 90 Giving up
"Strengthen the defense. If Qingfeng attacks the inside, we must double-team him immediately!"

Masako Araki kept emphasizing while holding the tactics board.

"We must not let Qingfeng score at will."

"As for offense, find a way to get the ball to Atsushi."

Masako Araki also felt the team's shortcomings. Although the defense was strong, no one could take advantage of the shooting opportunities.

It wasn't obvious when we met weak teams before, but when we met a team like Tonghuang, the team's shortcomings were undoubtedly exposed.

Especially when the team is behind and needs to catch up.

The halftime break ends and the second half begins.

At the beginning, Aomine directly found Murasakibara with the ball.

"What's wrong, Atsushi? Why do you look so grim~"

Qingfeng continued to dribble the ball quickly and cross-dribble while speaking.

Murasakibara Atsushi had a grim expression, but did not say anything, because he knew that Aomine did it on purpose, waiting for the moment when he would speak and be distracted.

And because the two were at the top of the arc, Liu Wei directly double-teamed them according to Masako Araki's pre-match arrangement.

Of course, this action did not escape Aomine's attention.

He easily dodged Liu Wei by moving sideways, and at the same time used Liu Wei's block to accelerate into the basket.

Ziyuan quickly bypassed Liu Wei and caught up with Qingfeng from behind when he jumped up.

"boom!"

It was a standard block shot, and Aomine was pinned to the backboard by Murasakibara along with the ball.

"Don't be so arrogant, Qingzai, or I'll crush you~"

Murasakibara warned.

However, in the next round, Aomine continued to attack the frame, seemingly not taking Murasakibara's previous warning to heart.

"Don't think about it!"

Seeing Qingfeng jump up again, ready to dunk, Murasakibara roared and rushed forward.

Murasakibara placed one hand on the basketball, and the two wrestled in mid-air.

Ziyuan tried to slap the basketball away.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a huge force coming from the basketball.

Under Murasakibara's incredulous eyes, Aomine suppressed Murasakibara and controlled the basketball into the basket with one hand.

At the same time, due to the imbalance of his body caused by the confrontation, after falling to the ground, Murasakibara staggered and fell to the ground.

"Dun, if you want to defeat me, this alone won't do."

Qingfeng spoke in a low voice, two arcs of electricity dancing in the corners of his eyes.

On the sidelines, Masako Araki clenched her fists and pursed her lips.

For Yangquan, the worst situation has happened.

Before, when facing Murasakibara's defense, Qingfeng needed to avoid the attack and use some skills to score.

However, in the confrontation just now, Aomine defeated Murasakibara's defense head-on.

The combat power of both sides has become completely unbalanced.

"Yang Quan is in a great disadvantage. He has been completely suppressed by Tong Huang in terms of momentum."

Takao said with some regret, still leaning on the railing of the stands.

"Besides, we are still behind in the score."

Midorima on the side didn't say anything, but just stared at Murasakibara with a flickering look in his eyes.

"Dun~"

On Seirin's side, everyone looked at Aomine with serious expressions as he entered the zone again.

"What a monster. He can easily enter the zone in this state."

Hinata said with some envy.

Hearing this, the God of Fire also showed a trace of unwillingness.

Although he had entered the zone before, he was still far from being able to enter as freely as Qingfeng.

It is precisely because they have entered that all the Fire Gods can better understand how terrifying Qingfeng is.

However, soon, Kagami's eyes were rekindled with fighting spirit. He would work hard to become stronger, and together with everyone in Seirin, become the strongest team.

On the court, Murasakibara, who was knocked down by Aomine's head-on dunk, stood there with his head lowered.

He didn't even participate in several subsequent rounds of attacks.

Realizing that something was wrong, Masako Araki called a timeout in time, then looked at Murasakihara worriedly.

"Dun, what's wrong with you?"

Masako Araki thought that Murasaki was injured in the previous confrontation, so she called the team doctor to check.

Who knew that Murasakibara waved his hand and picked up a towel to cover his face.

"Masako, change someone else. I won't fight anymore. I can't win anyway."

The towel covered Murasakibara's face, making it impossible to see his expression.

"In this state, Qingzai may not even be able to help Chizai~"

"What are you talking about? Do you think this is a game?"

"Isn't it? Now I don't find it interesting."

"Dun, didn't you say you hated the feeling of losing? Let's work together to win back!"

"That's right, that guy called Qingfeng, let's kill him together!"

Hearing this, the players from Yangquan also began to persuade Murasakibara.

But it was obvious that their words failed to change Murasakibara's mind.

In desperation, Masako Araki could only call on a substitute to replace Murasakihara.

But in this way, Yangquan's strength, which was already weaker than Tonghuang's, was further reduced.

"Is that Murasakibara injured? How did he end up?"

"I don't know. Maybe he got injured during the confrontation under the basket just now?"

In the stands, the audience was discussing Murasakibara's sudden death.

"Hin, what happened to Murasakibara-kun?"

Hanyu, who was watching the game with Akutsu, asked.

"Maybe I was hit by Dahui~"

Akutsu had a vague guess.

After Murasakibara left the game, the game continued, and Yangquan no longer had the strength to compete with Tonghuang.

In the end, the match between Yangquan and Tonghuang ended in a whimpering way.

After the game, many reporters and media wanted to interview Murasaki, but were stopped by Masako Araki.

As a last resort, the reporters turned the microphone to the head coach.

"Excuse me, Coach Araki, why do you think we lost this match to Touou?"

"It's because I, as a coach, didn't do a good job. There were problems with the tactical arrangements for Tonghuang before the game."

Masako Araki took the responsibility on herself.

"Coach Frog Araki, why did player Murasakihara Atsushi leave the court not long after the second half started and never return again?"

"Because Dun suddenly felt a little unwell during the previous game, after a simple examination by the team doctor, we thought Dun might be injured."

"For the future of the players and to prevent any unexpected situations, I decided to let Dun take a rest."

Masako Araki did not tell the truth.

"It doesn't matter even if it leads to the team's defeat?"

"One game, one win or loss doesn't mean anything. We in Yangquan will win again next time."

After finishing the interview, Masako Araki walked back, still thinking about how to strengthen the team on the way.

At present, Yangquan has two problems that need to be solved urgently. One is Murasakibara Atsushi's attitude problem, and the other is that Yangquan lacks a good scorer who can help Murasakibara share the pressure at critical moments.

Masako Araki rubbed her eyebrows and walked into the passage.

What she didn't notice was that Murasakibara had been standing there quietly in the shadows beside her.

He also heard the reporter's interview just now.
