Kuroko's Basketball: I'm not the boss?

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Zhou Yi with surprise. Even Xiang Yang looked at him with new respect. No matter the situation, a magnanimous statement always wins the favor of others.

[Since that's the case, you probably wouldn't mind if Xiao Wang performed better than you, right?]

Xiang Yang calmly opened the system panel, and the "zone" mode shared version in the talent bar was now flashing slightly.

Xiangyang already had someone in mind for whom the sharing would take place.

Compared to Thibo, the Chinese team's interior strength is not only inferior in terms of skills, but also in terms of physical talent, which is fatal in the battle for the paint.

As for men's basketball captain Li Wenyu, although he has outstanding physical qualities and scored many points in the first half, his shortcomings are also obvious, namely, his offensive methods are too one-dimensional.

Moreover, in the current Chinese men's basketball team, Xiang Yang holds the power on the offensive end. Sharing the "zone" mode with Li Wenyu on this basis would be somewhat superfluous.

Therefore, the most suitable candidate is undoubtedly Xiao Wang.

At this moment, Zhou Yi still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. He crossed his legs and watched his teammates' backs as they took to the field one after another, without the slightest hint of tension on his face.

If someone were to tell him now that Xiao Wang's performance would be outstanding and could even threaten his starting shooting guard position.

Then Zhou Yi would definitely give that person the middle finger and shout "Impossible!" Then he would tell the story of how he started playing ball when he was five years old.

What a joke! As someone who played against the Eagles national team in the first half, Zhou Yi has a good understanding of their level.

Regardless of their exquisite teamwork or their outstanding individual abilities, Zhou Yi simply did not believe that Xiao Wang, who had almost zero competition experience, could withstand their pressure.

As he predicted, in the first few offensive and defensive rounds of the second half, Xiao Wang not only frequently missed his marker and lost his position, but was also repeatedly outmaneuvered by the opposing team's Bowen.

I played two more balls in the second round.

Just three minutes into the second half, the gap between the two teams had already reached 12 points.

Xiang Yang frowned as he looked at the scoreboard. He had already enabled a shared "zone" for Xiao Wang when both sides entered the arena, but Xiao Wang's performance was terrible.

Not only did he fail to deliver a decent performance on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, Xiao Wang also failed to provide Xiang Yang with effective assistance due to his lack of skill.

Judging from these few rounds, Xiao Wang's performance seems to be inferior to Zhou Yi's.

Off the court, Coach Sun was getting impatient as he watched the scoreboard widen the gap between the two teams.

Even though the main purpose was to train the players, he didn't want to lose the game so easily.

"Zhou Yi".

"To!"

Looking at Xiao Wang, who was running around aimlessly as if sleepwalking, Coach Sun said in a deep voice, "Get ready to warm up."

"Yes!"

Zhou Yi's spirits lifted, and he immediately started stretching on the bench, thinking to himself with smug satisfaction: Just as I predicted! This way, I not only projected a magnanimous image, but I also got more rest time than the other players. Hmph, watch me carry you guys in the second half!

Just as Zhou Yi was stretching, Xiang Yang, who was organizing the team's attack, successfully found an open opportunity. Xiao Wang also quickly ran to the position and received the pass from Xiang Yang.

However, perhaps the repeated mistakes made Xiao Wang's mentality somewhat unstable, or perhaps it is inevitable for a newcomer to experience the "rookie wall".

Faced with such a wide-open shot, Xiao Wang actually threw a shot that missed the target completely in front of everyone!

The crowd erupted in uproar, and a chorus of groans filled the stands. Clearly, Xiao Wang's "three misses" had provoked the crowd's dissatisfaction.

As for Xiao Wang, he never expected to make such a mistake. He lowered his head with a look of shame, feeling a burning pain on his face.

Please... someone come quick... and take me off the court...

Xiao Wang kept his head down and jogged back to his own half of the field. He didn't even dare to look his teammates in the eye, for fear of being scolded on the spot.

"Wang Dalong".

A sudden shout made Xiao Wang tremble. He immediately stopped and turned around to see Xiang Yang walking up to him expressionlessly, his lips moving slightly as if he wanted to say something.

On the other side of the court, Nash also noticed the unusual movement. He turned his head to observe Xiang Yang's next move.

Bowen walked over to him with a grin and said, "That defensive freak is probably going to get a scolding. He was like he hadn't woken up yet on the court. He just shot a shot that missed completely. Hahaha, it's hilarious."

Nash didn't reply, he just quietly looked at Xiangyang.

Xiao Wang spoke first, then said with shame, "I'm sorry... I don't know why..."

Why apologize?

Before Xiao Wang could finish speaking, Xiang Yang waved his hand to interrupt him. He put his arm around Xiao Wang's shoulder, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Listen, kid, no matter how you perform on the court, no one on this team will blame you. Everyone, including me and Coach Sun, will only make you train hard after the game. There's no way they'll scold you on the court."

Xiao Wang listened blankly.

For a moment, they forgot what they were going to say.

Xiang Yang wasted no time. It wasn't a timeout yet, and he needed to finish his pep talk before the Eagles served.

"As a newcomer, you have the right to make mistakes. What you need to do is not to wallow in self-pity or even run away from the court, but to bring out your full potential after adapting to the rhythm and help the team win."

Xiao Wang stared at Xiang Yang with his mouth slightly open, wanting to ask: Aren't you a newcomer too? Why don't I see you making mistakes?

Fortunately, Xiao Wang had good judgment; he knew exactly what to say in this situation.

"How can I be like Xiangyang? Teach me."

beep—

Talent: Chicken soup for the soul has been activated.

The determination has been completed and the activation was successful.

Hearing the mechanical voice in his head, Xiang Yang grinned. Looking at Xiao Wang's serious expression, he patted his head and said, "The bearded guy you're guarding does have good dribbling fundamentals, but believe me, there are flaws in his movements!"

Xiang Yang pointed to Bowen on the Eagles' half of the field and said with a profound expression.

Xiao Wang quickly asked, "What flaw?"

Xiang Yang hesitated for two seconds before explaining, "I can't really explain the exact weakness to you. Do you remember when I stole the ball from him at the beginning of the game?"

"In short, trust me, you won't go wrong!"

Xiao Wang nodded, seemingly understanding, and muttered, "I believe you... there's a flaw in his movements..."

"I understand, thank you, Xiangyang."

Xiao Wang said solemnly, turning to look at Bowen, the previous timidity and evasion in his eyes had disappeared.

Xiang Yang nodded in satisfaction and returned to his defensive position.

Eagles' offensive possession

Nash used the same trick again, dribbling once more before running to the corner alone. Limited by his offensive threat, Xiangyang, as the team's top defensive player, had no choice but to follow him to the corner.

Nash, hands on his knees, teased Xiang Yang, "Is this really a good idea? If you don't help your teammates, the point difference will widen further and the suspense of this game will be gone."

Xiangyang did not answer; his eyes were fixed on the top of the arc.

Right there, Bowen signaled to his teammates to spread out, as he wanted to take on Xiao Wang one-on-one.

Seeing that Xiang Yang was ignoring him, Nash persisted, "Hey, hey, hey, are you already desperate? You're just standing here in the corner with me at a time like this. I have teammates, what do you have? Four idiots?"

Xiang Yang remained silent, calmly watching the two fighting one-on-one at the top of the arc.

Bowen continued with his signature crossover dribble, subtly shifting his feet to increase the deception of his movements while taunting Xiao Wang, "With a walking ATM like you, do you think your teammates would trust you to guard me one-on-one?"

"To put it bluntly, if I were you, I would have already asked the coach to let me rest. Staying on the court would only be a side effect and I would be blamed by my teammates. Why bother?"

As Bowen spoke, he searched for a defensive weakness in Xiao Wang's defense. Suddenly, he accelerated and lunged straight at Xiao Wang's front foot.

"Sorry, I won this one too!"

Looking at the empty penalty area in front of him, Bowen revealed a mocking smile. With just one step, he left Xiao Wang behind again.

However, just as he jumped up on one foot to put the ball in the basket, a figure suddenly leaped up from behind him.

Bowen's alarm bells rang loudly; his sixth sense, honed over years of basketball experience, told him that this shot would be blocked!

In a critical moment, Bowen, who was in mid-air, quickly changed his move, curling up his body and throwing the ball in a different direction, thus changing the layup position.

"Ha...ha, now you should take my place..."

Bowen turned around with a look of relief, about to say something sarcastic, but then he saw behind him that Xiao Wang's eyes were fixed on the basketball, as if he had already expected him to switch hands for a layup.

The next second, a loud thud! The basketball flew out of bounds as if struck by a heavy blow.

At that moment, the stadium fell silent.

Chapter 223 can make teammates better.

"How...how is this possible?"

Bowen's mouth gaped open, his face full of shock. He looked at Xiao Wang, who was slowly landing in front of him, and exclaimed, "How did you manage to block that ball? I clearly decided to switch hands while I was in the air, why!"

When asked by Bowen, Xiao Wang scratched his cheek and hesitated before saying, "Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Can you tell me the meaning of flowers?

Bowen: ...

On the other side, the rest of the Eagles team were also taken aback by Xiao Wang's sudden block.

Nash stood there, stunned, still replaying Xiao Wang's jump in his mind, when he felt someone tap his shoulder.

He turned his head and saw Xiang Yang smiling broadly, saying very gently, "Sorry, my memory is a bit bad. What did you just say?"

Seeing the subtle mockery on Xiang Yang's face and understanding the underlying meaning in his words, Nash's face flushed red with anger. He shouted, "Don't be so smug! Look at the score, you're still behind. And that guy just got lucky, didn't he?"

After saying that, Nash didn't wait for Xiang Yang's reply, and angrily turned around and returned to his own half of the court, ready to face the Chinese team's counterattack.

However, Xiao Wang's sudden outburst was not a coincidence. The shared version of the "zone" mode in Xiangyang's talent panel had already connected to Xiao Wang, but for some reason, no lightning flashed in his eyes.

Even so, Xiao Wang's performance on the field has visibly improved. After receiving the "inspirational quotes" as a boost, Xiao Wang is no longer hesitant and is able to unleash his full potential.

Open three-point opportunities, pick-and-roll cuts, and powerful dunks during off-ball movement.

Compared to his previous disastrous performance, Wang's offensive threat to the Eagles has increased significantly!

But that's not the most crucial point. You should know that before Wang Dalong joined the national team, he was a player who started out as a defender. Under the guidance of Coach Hai and Coach Sun, Wang is now the best one-on-one perimeter defender in the Chinese national team, second only to Xiang Yang!

Although not as freakish as Xiang Yang, Xiao Wang still delivered a respectable defensive performance against Bowen.
