Chapter 245: Green Wind vs. Luo An (4)
"Well done, Rukawa Kaede," Mike said
"What a pity, I wanted to make that guy commit a foul," Rukawa replied calmly, and then he glanced at Nogawa nearby. Nogawa felt unhappy when he heard this, "A first-year kid, it's okay to score a goal, but he's still not satisfied. He wants to make me commit a foul. Do you think I'm a decoration?"
"This kid doesn't talk much, but he's bad enough." Mike also understood what Rukawa Kaede meant.
Luoan attacked, Ishida moved to the high position, and although Nogawa was defended by Minggao, he used his strength to push Minggao away and then moved to the basket. Ishida understood and made an inside pass with Nogawa. Nogawa got the ball under the basket. At this time, Nogawa had the opportunity to shoot directly, but one reason was that he was not confident in his shot, and the other was that he wanted to respond to Lufeng with a dunk. He took one step and jumped up to dunk.
Suddenly, there was a "pop" sound. At some point, Totsuka suddenly appeared beside Nogawa and slapped Nogawa's hand holding the ball!
The referee naturally penalized Totsuka for a foul, and Nogawa was sent to the free throw line. Unfortunately, although he had the upper hand in the competition under the basket, he still showed weakness at the free throw line and missed both free throws. Minggao grabbed the rebound and passed it directly to Mike. Terajima tried to steal the ball, but Mike was more alert and dribbled with his back to avoid the steal. Then he made a long pass. Rukawa got the ball and made a slam dunk to score 49:47, and Green Wind overtook the score!
"Oh, so easy" Mike said easily
Nogawa's indignant voice came: "You are really shameless. You actually used fouls against me!"
"Haha, it's not right for Nogawa-senpai to say that. The game is all about wits and courage. Don't you want to get me off the court?" Ming Gao retorted, "And it's not like the referee didn't call a foul on us. Who can you blame for not making the free throw? You can only blame yourself for your poor technique."
"You..." Yechuan was so angry that veins popped up on his forehead, but he couldn't get angry... Minggao was telling the truth after all. He could only blame himself for his poor shooting. If he had Yao Ming's free throw shooting percentage, it would be tantamount to suicide for Green Wind to foul him.
In the next round, Terajima also saw the strategy of Midorikaze and stopped passing the ball to Nogawa. Instead, he passed the ball to Tanaka. Tanaka took a three-point shot, but the shot was not made due to the interference of Rukawa. However, Nogawa under the basket grabbed the frontcourt rebound with his strength advantage and anger.
"Pass it. Nogawa," Terajima signaled. But at this moment, Nogawa, who was already a little excited, didn't care about that. He grabbed the rebound and jumped up to shoot.
"Bang!" Ming Gao gave Ye Chuan a big block. It can be said that Ye Chuan was extremely uncalm. Although Ming Gao under the basket was not his opponent in terms of strength, he wanted to shoot directly in front of Ming Gao without confrontation. He underestimated Ming Gao's strength. What's more, his intention was so obvious.
Green Wind counterattacked, but due to the interference of Terajima, Green Wind's fast break failed and had to fall into a positional battle. Ming Gao and Mike made a pick-and-roll. Mike passed the ball to Ming Gao in time, and Ming Gao made a direct mid-range shot! 51:47
"Ming Gao, good shot"
"I may not be as strong as him (Nogawa), but as for shooting, as long as he doesn't come out, I will shoot to my heart's content." Ming Gao deliberately raised his voice so that Nogawa could hear
"Asshole, next round, you won't be able to score so easily with a mid-range shot." Nogawa clenched his fists
Luoan is indeed a traditional strong team. Although Nogawa in the interior was a little overwhelmed, Luoan's attack point still existed. Tanaka and Ishida made a screen, and Tanaka made a mid-range shot and scored 51:49
Green Wind attacks, Ming Gao pulls to the high post, and Nogawa leaves the basket regardless of everything. Block Ming Gao's shot
"I want you to leave the basket." Minggao raised his lips and passed the ball to the basket. Totsuka got the ball and scored 53:49.
"Why don't you fight me?" Nogawa, feeling fooled, angrily asked Ming Gao
In the next game, although Luoan was able to narrow the score to 2 points, Lufeng widened the score to points after several consecutive rounds.
"The Green Wind guys are really strong. Although they are a new team, they have good tactical skills." Luoan's coach was struggling to think of a solution.
As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. In this round, Tanaka used a fake move to break through the defense and shot in the restricted area. Ming Gao desperately tried to help defend. Tanaka's shot missed, but Ming Gao's help defense created a vacuum under the basket. Nogawa jumped up to dunk. Totsuka desperately hugged Nogawa and prevented him from jumping.
"You bastard!" Nogawa, who had been feeling unhappy, finally couldn't help but knocked Totsuka to the ground with an elbow!
"Beep! Technical foul for White No. 6!" The referee noticed the scene and blew the whistle immediately.
At this moment, Nogawa's mind was blank. He just realized that he had been fooled by his opponent and made an almost unforgivable mistake. Behind him, Totsuka sat on the ground with blood flowing from his nose!
"Totsuka, are you okay?" Ming Gao and others hurried forward to support him.
"I'm fine, the most important thing is that he got a technical foul," Totsuka said, unable to hide his joy.
Seeing this, Luoan's coach secretly sighed that it was a bad idea, and then had to replace Nogawa to protect him. Although Totsuka successfully lured Nogawa to commit a foul, he was also called for a technical foul for hugging Nogawa. At the same time, because he needed to stop the bleeding and Totsuka had already committed four fouls, the coach of Ofuna replaced Totsuka with Ebina. Terashima and Rukawa each made a technical foul free throw. Nogawa's temporary departure caused an imbalance in the competition between the two sides in the interior, and for Green Wind, it added a big weight to the scale of victory. Luoan's substitute center, whose height and strength were not even as good as Horita of Xiangbei (Horita: felt offended), could not pose enough threat to Minggao on both offense and defense, and was easily suppressed.
Green Wind attacks, Ebina passes to Ming Gao in the paint, Ming Gao scores against Luoan center
However, Luo An also showed great tenacity. Terajima used a breakthrough to tear through the defense of Green Wind and passed the ball to the captain Tanaka, who made a three-pointer!
Green Wind attacks, the ball is in Ming Gao's hands again, Ishida knows that the substitute center is no match for Ming Gao, so he double-teams Ming Gao, Ming Gao passes the ball to Mike, Mike passes the ball to Ping Gu on the outside line without stopping, Ping Gu takes a three-point shot, although he misses, but Ming Gao grabs the rebound and passes it to Ping Gu again. This time Ping Gu hits the three-pointer.
In the next round, Rukawa defended Terajima. Although Terajima tried his best and finally shook off Rukawa, Mike caught up and blocked Terajima's shot at the moment he shot. After Mike blocked the shot, he jumped up again. He took the ball and then passed it to Rukawa, who scored a dunk.
However, Tanaka made a three-pointer from the outside to narrow the gap.
"Mike, Rukawa, don't be careless. You have to defend against the attacks of Tanaka and Terajima." Dachuan reminded the two masters of Green Wind from the sidelines.
"clear"
In this attack, Mike carried Terashima and forced a layup, causing Terashima to foul, making it 2+1.
In the next round, Rukawa intercepted Terajima's pass and Green Wind counterattacked. Although Ebina's layup was blocked, Ming Gao followed up with a tip-in and Green Wind continued to expand the score.
In the 15th minute of the second half, the score difference between the two sides was 80 to 71, and Green Wind was still leading by 9 points. After some reflection and adjustments, Nogawa returned to the court.
Ming Gao, who was originally killing everyone under the basket, immediately adjusted his state and prepared for battle when he saw his opponent return to the court.
Although Luoan's inside line has regained its bravery, Green Wind's victory is inevitable thanks to the careful planning of the big ship and the unity and sincere cooperation of the team members!
Within 5 minutes, both teams scored consecutively. In the end, Green Wind eliminated the powerful Luoan team with a slight advantage of 87 to 81, 6 points, and created one of the biggest dark horse miracles in the history of the national competition: as a team that joined the qualifiers, it eliminated the last semi-final team on the national stage for the first time.
The reason why it is "one of" is because last year, Xiangbei also entered the national competition for the first time, and eliminated Aiwa Academy, which was also in the top four, in the second round.
