Hainan quickly made many of the audience who were not used to the rhythm and score of the first ten minutes of the game find a familiar feeling. They took the attitude of a veteran king.
At 10 minutes and 55 seconds, both sides were still at 22: It was a draw at 22, but at 11 minutes and 56 seconds, the score reached Hainan's 32:22 Lingnan.
In just one minute, Lingnan didn't score a single point, while Hainan scored eight points in a row.
Why did this suddenly happen? Let's pull the progress bar back for a minute.
At 10 minutes and 55 seconds, Fukuda carried Muto Masa's defense and turned around to cut into the basket. The two sides tied for the Nth time in the game, which also made Lingnan's supporters in the audience confident that Lingnan could definitely defeat Hainan.
However, in the next minute, the situation changed.
The sudden attack from Hainan caught Lingnan off guard.
At 11 minutes and 12 seconds, Ah Mu took a big step past the immortal path and went straight into Lingnan's penalty area. In the face of the roaring Fish Pillar, he directly showed off in the air. He pulled the bar to avoid the Fish Pillar's block and easily picked the basket. Not only that, but he also made a defensive foul on the Fish Pillar and successfully played 2 1.
At 11 minutes and 25 seconds, the furious Yu Zhu reached out to Sandao for the ball, wanting to regain his dignity. Sandao also followed his captain's wishes and gave the ball to Yu Zhu.
However, Fish Pillar did not grasp this precious opportunity to chase points. After hitting Takasago, he turned around and hooked the iron. The rebound was caught by Muto Masa, who rushed over. Hainan took advantage of the situation to launch a fast attack. Finally, Nobunaga scored a dunk, and Hainan officially opened the gap.
At 11 minutes and 42 seconds, Sandao tried to break through Ah Mu's personal goal to stop the loss. As a result, Ah Mu seized the opportunity to poke the ball away. The interception was successful, and Hainan took the opportunity to counterattack again.
Just as Sandao followed Ah Mu back to their own penalty area to jump and block the ball, Ah Mu directly passed the ball to Ah Shen, who was waiting 45 degrees outside the three-point line on the left.
Hainan's sharpshooter didn't hesitate to shoot after receiving the ball. He raised his knife and scored a three-pointer.
At 11 minutes and 50 seconds, Sandao broke into the paint and passed the ball to Fukuda. Fukuda, who was already a little anxious, completely ignored Takasago, who had already defended in place. He forced a layup and was blocked. After the rebound was taken by Amu, it was directly handed to Nobunaga, who once again launched a fast layup.
In this way, Hainan scored 10 points in a short minute, instantly breaking the original balance of power on the field.
Beep!
Seeing the situation that was originally in a balance suddenly collapse, and Lingnan was pulled open by a double-digit difference at such a fast speed, Coach Tian Gang on the sidelines finally couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly called a time-out to let the already impatient players calm down for a minute.
"Oh…"
Jun Ishiyama, who had just said the words " Hainan is just like this ", was slapped in the face in less than a minute. The expression on his face was naturally very awkward.
"Don't underestimate the enemy, Ah Chun. No matter what, Hainan had dominated Kanagawa High School's basketball scene for 16 consecutive years and was firmly in the top four in the country. Any slight underestimation of them would lead to an incomparably painful outcome.”
Wu Yufei turned his head and said to Chun Ishiyama seriously.
"Especially since it's your turn to defend against Ichiro Dei tomorrow. Unlike the brain-sabers like Hisashi Mii, who relied on his talent, his skills were honed one ball at a time. The slightest carelessness or negligence would be instantly seized and exploited by him.”
"His upper limit might not be as high as Mitsui's, but his lower limit is definitely higher than Mitsui's! Moreover, his height and wingspan were much higher than Mitsui's, so his stamina was naturally much better. Unlike Mitsui, who had just come out of his two-year gap, he had been training hard. The method to defeat Mitsui would not have any effect on him, that was for sure.”
Looking at Wu Yufei's serious expression, Ishiyama Jun swallowed his saliva, then put on a firm expression and nodded heavily.
"I understand. I won't underestimate them anymore. I'll definitely do my best to deal with him tomorrow!”
"Yes, I'll leave it to you. Next year, the effectiveness of your defense against Ah Shen will directly determine the scoring efficiency of the entire Hainan team and ultimately affect the outcome of the game.”
"Understood!"
Wu Yufei nodded after hearing Ishiyama Chun's firm reply. Then, he turned his gaze to another person.
"As for Ah Mu…"
Wu Yufei narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the man wearing the white number four jersey on the field.
"Leave it to me!"
…………
After a precious pause, the Lingnan team finally calmed down under the comfort of Coach Tian Gang. After returning to the game, they began to steadily chase points.
Meanwhile, Hainan had relied on their one-minute outburst to determine their initial advantage and successfully maintained this advantage until the end of the first half of the game.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the score was temporarily fixed at Hainan 41:33 Lingnan. Hainan entered the halftime interval with an eight-point lead.
This might be the so-called butterfly effect.
Wu Yufei clearly remembered that in the original novel, Lingnan was able to firmly suppress Hainan in the first half, and even limited Hainan's score in the first half to only 29 points.
In the end, Hainan was able to win the game. The turning point was that Lingnan's Yu Zhu was directly expelled for his irrational behavior of contradicting the referee. Lingnan completely lost the advantage of the inside line.
Without Yu Zhu in the paint, no one in Lingnan could stop Ah Mu from rushing forward again and again. Gao Sha could also mercilessly hammer Lingnan's substitute center forward.
Although Lingnan had relied on Ikegami's steals and Jueping Xiandao's dunks to extend the suspense of the game by another five minutes, he was still defeated by Hainan in the end.
In any case, Lingnan in the original novel was always tied with Hainan at least during the regular time of the game.
But here, Lingnan's fish pole had not yet come off, and Hainan was already able to play the game like this. It was hard to imagine what would happen if Hainan caught the fish pole in the second half.
Wu Yufei did not know how much his transmigration had played a role in this.
But at least, in the original novel, Lingnan's first game was against the martial arts world. In that game, Lingnan must not have played to his full strength. This also did not allow Hai Nan to obtain much important information through the video of this game.
However, with the arrival of Wu Yufei, Lingnan must have used all his strength to fight Miuradai. It was impossible for him to hold back or hide his moves.
This also gave Hainan a full week to study the video of the match between Miura TV and Lingnan, and find a way to deal with Lingnan today.
In this way, with sufficient preparation, Hainan, which was already stronger, naturally didn't have the situation of being beaten by Lingnan in the original novel and not recovering for the entire first half.
Lingnan was in danger.
Wu Yufei also felt a little uncomfortable. After all, in his previous life, besides the main character Xiangbei, his favorite team was Lingnan, especially the Celestial Way.
However, if the current situation continued to develop, Lingnan would probably only be able to suffer three consecutive defeats this summer and end his trip to the county assembly with humiliation and regret.
After ten minutes of rest, the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half.
Hainan still resolutely carried out the first half of the game, using Ah Mu and Qing Tian as arrows to attack Lingnan's inside line again and again.
Once Lingnan chose to shrink his defense, Ichiro Shenzong, who was cruising on the outside, would become a ruthless heavy artillery, piercing Lingnan's basket with his precise three-point cannon.
However, Lingnan was not without the ability to counterattack.
Ushiki was still on the field. With Ushiki (202cm) and Fukuda (188cm) guarding the inside, even if Fukuda was a big colander, Hainan's Takasago Ichiuma (191cm) and Muto Masa (184cm) were always at a disadvantage.
Coupled with the fact that Xiandao disregarded his physical strength and frequently displayed his might on both ends of the offense and defense, Lingnan did not give Hainan the opportunity to turn their advantage into victory.
Therefore, in the second half, Lingnan once caught up with the difference between the two teams to only three points. However, Hainan also relied on its excellent resilience to stabilize the advantage at 4-7 points and never let Lingnan take another step forward.
This situation continued until the thirteenth minute of the second half. The score of both sides had reached Hainan 67: Lingnan.
Beep!
Coach Tian Gang had no choice but to call a time-out again because Ushiki had committed four offenses.
"If Yu Zhu makes another mistake and is sent off, Lingnan will have no chance of making a comeback.”
On the grandstand, Wu Yufei shook his head and said helplessly.
Although it was different from the original novel, the fish pillar here didn't collide with the referee when he committed a fourth offense, Lingnan's disadvantage was real.
In the resting area, Coach Tian Gang was probably working on this issue for Yu Zhu.
After returning to the court, Yu Zhu's movements were obviously much more restrained, but this also gave Hainan more confidence to attack Lingnan's inside line.
Although there was still suspense in the game, anyone could see that Lingnan was getting more and more difficult.
In the front field, Amami was confronting Ah Mu, looking for a chance to break through or pass the ball.
"I didn't expect you to be able to hold on for so long.”
Ah Mu tried to distract the Immortal Dao with his verbal attacks and seize the opportunity to intercept.
"Haha, thank you."
However, Sandao didn't take the hit and continued dribbling steadily, not giving Ah Mu a chance to steal.
In the next moment, the Immortal Path instantly accelerated and charged towards the inner line of Hai Nan from Ah Mu's right.
Ah Mu immediately put away the smile on his face and stuck close to her.
Bang!
Outside the penalty area, Sendou suddenly kicked the floor and pulled the ball back, completing the emergency stop.
As for Ah Mu, he realized it later and was instantly pulled away by the Immortal Dao.
Damn it, his actions were really fast.
Ah Mu quickly stepped on the brakes and turned around to try to regain his defensive position.
However, the Immortal didn't give Ah Mu enough time. He took advantage of the moment when the two of them were pulled apart and jumped up on the spot, throwing a shot.
In fact, even if Ah Mu came back in time, he shouldn't be able to defend against this ball because the attack point of the immortal path was quite high.
Swoosh!
The basketball hit the target steadily and did not give the person under the basket a chance to fight for the rebound.
"Beautiful throw! Immortal Dao!"
"Go, Immortal Dao! Please!"
Seeing that Sandao had once again scored a beautiful goal, Lingnan's substitutes 'bench immediately burst into cheers.
With this goal from Sendo, Lingnan once again pulled the gap back to four points.
There were more than six minutes left, and they were only four points behind. As long as Lingnan played a few more beautiful attacks, the game would definitely turn over.
