Beep!
"Lingnan requests a replacement!"
Less than a minute into the second half, Lingnan directly requested a substitution.
The defensive champion, Ryoji Ikegami, had finished warming up and was standing on the sidelines.
“……”
Fukuda Yoshimura lowered his head and silently walked back to the field. He silently high-fived Ikegami and sat back on the bench.
"Don't be discouraged, Fukuda. There will still be time for you to play. Believe in your teammates.”
Coach Tian Gang comforted him and then turned his attention back to the field.
The appearance of Ikegami Ryoji undoubtedly improved Lingnan's defense by more than one level.
After all, Fukuda Yoshimura, who was supposed to be Miura Dae's biggest breakthrough, had gone down. This made Wu Yufei's most comfortable pick-and-roll tactic not as sharp as before.
However, Fukuda's departure also caused Lingnan's offensive momentum to drop by more than half. For a time, the pressure of Lingnan's entire team's offense came to the head of Xiandao.
Under Wu Yufei's deliberate design and command, Miura Dae still used the defensive tactic of shrinking the inside line.
After all, in Lingnan's side, only Sendao had the skills to shoot outside the line. The rest, including the shooting guard, were very weak at three-pointers.
Wu Yufei would provide one-on-one service for the Immortal Dao, while Yueye Honming would be handed over to Ishiyama Chun.
As for the remaining Ikegami Ryoji and Tomoyuki Ueda, you guys can shoot from the outside!
Oh right, there was also the ape king, Yuzhu. If he wanted to float out and shoot a three-pointer, it would not be a problem. Miura Dae was eager to do so. After all, under the pincer attack of Ichiteru Ohno and Tetsuya Naito, it was difficult for Yuzhu to even stand firm under the basket, let alone receive a pass from Sandao.
Yu Zhu was restricted to a dead end, unable to catch the ball comfortably. Ikegami Ryoji's offensive ability was as negligible as Fukuda's defense.
It was impossible for Zhi Zhi Cao's small body to squeeze into the basket of a group of 190cm long people. His mid-range and long-range shooting ability was very average.
Off-road Hiroaki had a shot, but Ishiyama Chun stuck to him like a piece of sticky candy.
As a last resort, the pressure of Lingnan's attack fell on the shoulders of the Immortal Dao. Immortal Dao had no choice but to expend a large amount of energy and physical strength to compete with Wu Yufei.
This was exactly what Wu Yufei wanted to see.
They would turn Lingnan from a team playing basketball into a one-man team that could only rely on one person from the Celestial Way, and then they would compete with the Celestial Way!
At this point, the deciding factor was the physical strength of the two aces!
The first team that couldn't hold on would lose!
Immortal Dao also understood Wu Yufei's intentions and accepted his challenge.
Of course, he understood that this strategy was very risky, but under the current circumstances, this was the only way to have a chance of winning.
Thus, in the next ten minutes, the audience in the stadium had a feast for their eyes and enjoyed the wonderful individual show again and again.
On this side, Sandao had just finished performing a cross step to pass Wu Yufei and successfully broke into the inside lane. Then Wu Yufei immediately returned the favor. In the middle of the fast attack, he used a butterfly to pierce through the flowers to shake off the immortal path, and then went straight into the inside line to score a score.
On this side, Wu Yufei suddenly stopped and took a step back to hit the jump shot. On the other side, Wu Yufei immediately turned around and pulled away from the middle distance to hit the target.
Both sides exchanged blows, turning a five-on-five basketball match into a 1v1 bullfight.
In the first few rounds, they still needed Sandao or Wu Yufei to signal for their teammates to open up the distance. Later on, their teammates didn't even need to say hello and directly opened up the space for the two to fight.
Although for the other eight players, a basketball game had become a boring back-and-forth run, they did not complain at all. Instead, they were all immersed in the role of the audience, watching the two aces on the court play each other very seriously.
Sendo was working very hard. He tried his best to win this ace 1v1 and use it as a signal for Lingnan to counterattack.
However, the 10-point gap was too big. Although Sendo tried his best to score points in every attack, there was little effect.
When the individual performance lasted for a full ten minutes and the game reached the twelfth minute of the second half, the score on the field had reached 75:67 Lingnan. Miura Dae's lead was still eight points.
"Let me go, coach."
On the sidelines, on Lingnan's substitutes 'bench, Fukuda Yoshida volunteered to fight.
There were only eight minutes left. Perhaps it was really time to go all out…
Looking at Fukuda in front of him, Taoka Shigeichi pondered for two seconds and finally made up his mind.
"Go, Fukuda! To share the pressure of the immortal path's attack!"
"Understood!"
Beep!
"Lingnan requests a replacement!"
"Oh, oh, oh! That unattractive scoring expert came up again!!”
"He always said that other than Xiandao and Wu Yufei, he is the only one who can score points!”
"But his defense is very poor. Lingnan is still lagging behind. Isn't it suicidal to bring him up?”
"Perhaps Lingnan has already put all his eggs in one basket.”
In the stands, Fukuda's appearance immediately sparked a heated discussion.
As Fukuda returned to the arena, the ace 1v1 between Wu Yufei and Sandao officially came to an end. The two of them fought to a draw.
However, if one had to say, Wu Yufei, who was on the defensive side, was better. After all, he had made the plan of the immortal path's counterattack fail and achieved the predetermined goal.
Fukuda returned to the field and replaced Ryoji Ikegami. Lingnan returned to the offensive mode that he was best at.
After resting for a full ten minutes, Fukuda's physical strength recovered very well. As soon as he entered the field, he ran crazily and looked for opportunities.
With Fukuda's help, Sendao was finally able to calm down from his crazy scoring state and think about and organize the team.
At the 12th minute and 20th second of the second half, Fukuda found an opportunity to bypass Ohno Izumi and successfully turned around to rush into the basket. Sendai immediately threw the basketball to the basket. Fukuda caught the basketball in the air and gently picked it up.
Swoosh!
The basketball hit the net.
"Yay! As expected of Fukuda-senpai, he was really trustworthy!!”
Aida shouted excitedly.
However, before Aida's excitement could pass, in the next round, Wu Yufei rushed into Lingnan's paint and stirred up Lingnan's penalty area. He successfully passed the ball to Naito Tetsuya, who was empty under the basket. The latter jumped and dunked, pulling Lingnan's two points back.
At 14 minutes and 20 seconds, the perfect lob was passed to Ushiki, who had not scored a single goal in six minutes. Ushiki anxiously turned around and made a layup. Naito fell to the ground.
Beep!
"White No. 4, dribble the ball and hit someone! The black team has the ball!"
The referee gave a merciless penalty, and this was Yu Zhu's fourth foul.
"Captain, you can't foul again. If you are sent off, we really have no chance of winning.”
Immortal Dao immediately went forward to comfort the slightly agitated Yu Zhu.
Hearing Immortal Dao's words, Yu Zhu, who was so excited that he wanted to argue with the judge, immediately calmed down.
Yes, I still have one more chance. If I go to the referee now, I might be able to…
No! The team still needs me!
Tsk, what a pity. Why was he not as excited as he was in the original novel?
Wu Yufei, who was standing at the side, felt regretful.
If Yu Zhu had taken the initiative to find trouble with the referee and was directly expelled, Miura Dae would have won this match.
However, it was not bad now. He already had four fish pillars in his hands, so he would have scruples in all aspects.
For Miura Dae, as the remaining time of the game decreased, it would be easier for them to fight!
