Chapter 172 This moment! Hayama Kotaro, as swift as thunder!
After the second day of the National Conference, the competition finally entered the third day of the final stage.
In the morning, the semi-finals of 4 to 2 will be held.
In both halves, whether it is the audience or the players who stayed on the third day and prepared to watch the game before returning to school, everyone knows that the teams that will enter the final in the afternoon must be Teiko and Changyuan International. Teiko
Twins.
And……
‘The team of Hayama Kotaro, the Thunder Beast.
And indeed, in the semi-finals in the morning, after both sides defeated opponents who were not their match at all, the final showdown came in the afternoon.
……
Kyoto Second Gymnasium.
Afternoon.
Teiko vs. Changyuan International.
First Quarter
“This year, Changyuan International’s signature bombardment was so fast!”
“but……”
“Shi Yu Qiuren blocked the shot again!”
“Fight back!”
“So powerful, just like yesterday’s fight with Xianzhen, Teikou used his opponent’s best tactics and launched a counterattack with the same bombardment!”
“Changyuan International’s defense was also very quick!”
“After all… it was the track and field team led by the nickname ‘Thunder Beast’’”
Teiko counterattacked defensively, Nijimura Shuzo rushed forward, Hayama Kotaro led the defense with a serious face, but facing the defense, Nijimura did not have any fancy moves, while moving, he suddenly hit the ball to Haizaki Shogo who replaced Fukaya Reiji. The next second.
With the wildness of a lion bursting out, without the ball, Nijimura Shuzo slammed through Hayama Kotaro, and at the same time, he blocked the opponent’s defense from the side and rear with his shoulder.
Then… because he knew that Haizaki would definitely not be able to read his eyes like Shigure, Nijimura immediately stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and swept his eyebrows and eyes at Haizaki Shogo.
Haizaki Shogo:”……！”
Violent maniac!
Damn it!
Haizaki, who was originally excited to replace his senior, was intimidated by Nijimura and finally handed the ball over unwillingly.
But… although it was quite unpleasant.
But from the scene, this return ball formed a very”excellent” cooperation.
The pass was not in place, but in Nijimura’s wild rush, it seemed as if the pass was leading Nijimura forward, and a good advance was made.
In a blink of an eye, a beautiful pass and cut was played.
Although… it was all thanks to Nijimura’s understanding of the game and his own adjustments
“Eh?! Good shot!”
“Haizaki Shogo, who started for the first time, passed the ball to easily help Nijimura Shuzo break through Hayama Kotaro’s defense!”
“There is no other way. The other side must have two people ready to double-team Shi Yu Qiuren at any time. No one is coming!”
“It all depends on the inside!”
“Woohoo!”
“What a fast inside line! As the bombardment team, Changyuan International probably has the fastest inside line combination. They react very quickly and both of them defend in front of Nijimura Shuzo!”
“Aerial combat! Is Nijimura going to just force his way in?!!”
Sitting in the audience stands, Reiyo Miru shook her head speechlessly:”That guy… will definitely choose the method with the highest success rate. Even if he does it himself, it will probably work.……”
As expected.
Following Miru Reio’s words.
Bang!
In the air, Nijimura Shuzo fought hard with the inside duo of Changyuan International. The former remained motionless and suddenly pulled the ball in.
Whoosh!
Pass the ball……
“Oh! So amazing, under the double-teaming of two players, he was able to pass the ball accurately through the gap after the aerial confrontation. What kind of monster confrontation is this, and he also has vision and passing ability?”
“Kuroname Shinji got the ball and his position was left open”
“As a center, Kuroname Shinji’s skills are enough to support him in the mid-range near the free throw line, and he can easily handle this level of attack!”
Kuroname Shinji shoots!
Teiko bench.
The moment he saw the ball shot, Midorima Shintaro, as Teiko’s full-time shooter, immediately judged that the arc and rotation of this ball were very good.
It will go in.
Swish~! Hit!
Teiko VS Changyuan International.
28:15
“Defense!”
“Defense!”
“Defense!”
Facing the championship that was about to be won, even Akashi on the bench was shouting loudly along with the third-year seniors who were leading the cheering.
Hayama Kotaro looked in the direction of the Teiko bench, his cheerful face, which was not suitable for being tense, suddenly smiled:”The atmosphere at your Teiko is really warm.”
“but……”
“It’s my turn to attack next!” Hearing this, Nijimura
Shuzo suddenly noticed the Changyuan International team members who stopped firing.
:”……”
Did they give up the bombardment so soon?
Changyuan International.
It seems that… they are very confident in Hayama Kotaro’s ability.
Swoosh!
Positional battle.
The ball was passed to the right side at a 45-degree angle, inside the three-point line. The ball was held by Hayama Kotaro, and the person responsible for defending this small forward was not Haizaki Shogo, who was also a small forward, but Nijimura Shuzo.
“1v1!”
“Changyuan International gave up the bombardment and suddenly switched to a positional war!”
“The showdown between Hayama Kotaro and Nijimura Shuzo!”
“It’s coming”
“Kotaro Hayama’s signature ‘speed dribble’’！”
Shi Liu Ling Yang:”……”
In the audience stands, Miru Reio was watching the match on the field, and the more he thought about it, the more upset he became. Why could Kotaro Hayama fight against Shuzo Nijimura so easily?
But he had to be beaten by the first and second year shooters of Teiko who were not in the Twins?
That…
Haizaki?
Let him go up and fight first?
And what about Aomine?
At the very least… bring up Reiji Fukaya. Isn’t he a small forward?
Wait…
Reiji Fukaya didn’t start this game. Was it because of the match with him?
Damn!
“This guy Kotaro is…���Good luck!”
On the court.
Bang~!
Hayama Kotaro’s dribbling was powerful and fast!
But at the moment of his breakthrough!
Swish~!
The sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor was clearly heard by Hayama Kotaro, and then a white figure flashed before his eyes!
It was Nijimura who caught up with him and blocked his way at the first time!
Hayama Kotaro was stunned,”Huh?!”
Unexpectedly… such a breakthrough speed couldn’t penetrate this guy’s defense?
Seeing the doubt in Hayama Kotaro’s eyes, Nijimura couldn’t help but snorted coldly,”Compared to last year, your dribbling speed is indeed much faster, but……”
“Don’t be so naive, Hayama Kotaro.” Hayama Kotaro was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
“Ah~”
“It seems like this”
“Because no one has been able to stop me, I’m used to it~”
The one in front of me is the ‘Lion’ of the Teiko Twins, Nijimura Shuzo
“In that case,”
As Hayama Kotaro spoke in a cheerful and slightly frivolous voice, not far away, Shigure Akito saw the other party pull the ball violently. At that moment, he even vaguely saw the tearing of the air.
Then…
Hayama Kotaro, who entered the disguised pulling posture, seemed to be fixed there in an instant. With the tense of his arm muscles, it seemed that he was brewing the calm before the storm!
Nijimura Shuzo:”……！？”
Actually… still hasn’t moved?
The disguised side-pull action in front of the body is a bit exaggerated.
Just as Nijimura was concentrating on collecting information about Hayama Kotaro’s unusual actions at the same outrageous speed.
Suddenly.
Boom~!
A roar that resounded throughout the stadium!
Like thunder, it instantly spread throughout the entire stadium!
In the audience, in the front row of the stands closest to the stadium, some spectators couldn’t help but cover their ears!
And in Shigure Akito’s eyes, under the high-pressure spirit, Hayama Kotaro’s dribbling, following the trajectory of the disguised pull, seemed to flash with lightning!
At this moment!
Hayama Kotaro, as fast as thunder!
