Chapter 121 Decision-making
With Daping's slam dunk, the two teams started a fierce battle again.
Aomine, on the other hand, was fishing as usual, and Shinsuke Kimura, who was opposite him, did not take the initiative to participate in the attack when he saw his opponent like this.
After all, if this monster changes his mind and enters early because of his participation, it will definitely do more harm than good to their team.
Midorima, who was also recharging his energy on the other side, was the same. Apart from occasionally defending Sakurai's offense, he did not participate in other duels in this game.
The other players on both sides were full of passion and were working hard to score.
The two sides went back and forth without giving an inch. Often after Tonghuang scored a goal, Xiude immediately tried his best to return a goal to the opponent, keeping the score difference between the two teams at around 20 points.
Soon the first quarter of the game ended, and the score of the two teams reached 42:24, still maintaining an 18-point difference.
"Okay...so impressive, but is this the first quarter and are both sides working so hard?"
After watching the first quarter of the game, Kise also felt that the level of confrontation was a bit too scary, with both sides attacking almost non-stop.
Since Midorima 'solved' Sakurai, the players on both sides have been running almost all the time.
After each score, they had to face the opponent's non-stop retaliation immediately, and neither side chose to slow down the pace and slowly organize and restart the attack.
However, even in such a high-intensity confrontation, Tonghuang always relied on his excellent personal strength to score points, and Xiude immediately returned with more tacit cooperation.
The same sentiments also appeared in every corner of the audience, but they were all applauded.
Everyone likes to watch this kind of tense and exciting competition, which makes people feel excited.
Zhengbang also heard Shiraishi, who was sighing with Jin Chuan, slowly said: "We can't slow down, although both sides understand that the key to determining the outcome of this game lies in the aces of both sides."
"But Xiude finally has the advantage that Midorima has worked so hard to win, and he will definitely not choose to let the other party take it back easily."
"What's more, Qingfeng was able to calmly watch their duel without intervening in the face of such a point difference. This shows that Qingfeng is confident that he can recover this point difference by himself."
"This also makes Xiude want more. This is not a distrust of the trump card, but people inevitably want to increase the stakes for themselves."
"As for Kiriou, although Aomine seems not to care, other people in Kiriou also understand that Midorima is not a vegetarian."
"Although Aomine is very strong, maybe Aomine is stronger than Midorima in their eyes."
"But Midorima's ridiculous offensive range and most of Midorima's scores are three-pointers. They don't want to lose the game because of the points lost in Sakurai's duel."
"So they can only try their best to narrow the score and try to minimize the possibility of losing the game."
"Furthermore, this game is also very important for the entire qualifiers of the two teams. If Xiude loses, he will directly miss the National League."
"And Emperor Tong doesn't want to hand over the decision-making power of the game to us tomorrow. After all, we are not too weak."
"So both sides are trying their best to win in this game, which naturally affects the intensity of the game."
"However, there is a high probability that our game tomorrow will be the same as theirs. We may not be in a high-intensity confrontation throughout the game."
After hearing Shiraishi's words, everyone nodded and expressed that they were looking forward to tomorrow's showdown. They did not think that they would be weaker than the other party.
Shiraishi continued: "But they underestimated Aomine in the end. Although Midorima's shots are indeed difficult to defend, Aomine does not have the ridiculous jumping ability like me and Kagami."
"But Aomine's speed gives him a high probability of stopping Midorima before he takes action, and Midorima probably doesn't have much confidence in defending Aomine."
" Midorima should also know this, although Midorima should be able to temporarily block Aomine with his 'dominance'."
"But 'Dominator' consumes a lot of physical energy, and Qingfeng also has the second level of 'zone', which is a big killer. In this state, Qingfeng is unstoppable."
"So there is a high probability that Midorima will not watch Aomine waiting for the second half so leisurely. Maybe he will start to forcefully open the score in the second quarter and force Aomine to fight him early."
And the fact is just as Shiraishi said. Just when coach Xiudoku planned to continue playing at this pace in the second quarter, Midorima objected.
"Although it's a bit embarrassing to say this, facing Aomine who is in perfect condition and only needs to play half of the game, I may not be able to stop him perfectly."
"So, in order to ensure the victory of the game, can you give me the next ball? I will open up the score and force the opponent to end the game early and confront me."
"This way, even if both of us end up exhausted, everyone who remains in good condition will have a greater chance of winning."
After hearing Midorima's words, Coach Nakatani looked at Midorima. This was the first time he heard Midorima say such unconfident words.
In the past, although he always kept talking about things like "do your best and obey fate", he still acted confidently.
After considering what Midorima said, Coach Nakatani nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Midorima."
Others had no objection to Midorima's request. After all, it was all for the team's victory, and how could the ace refuse the ball?
……
On the other side, where Tonghuang was, no one expected that Xiude was already planning to open up the score in advance and force Aomine to end the game.
So coach Harazawa looked at Aomine and asked directly: "Aomine, what is the maximum point difference you can accept?"
Qingfeng didn't mean to hide his clumsiness and directly said his answer: "25 points. From now on, it just depends on who is lucky."
After getting the answer he wanted, coach Harazawa continued to ask: "Then there is no problem in leaving the second half to you, right?"
Aomine nodded when he heard this question but did not answer. He was confident that he could suppress Midorima within half time.
After that, coach Harazawa turned to look at the others and said: "Then the focus of the second quarter is still on you. Try to hold on to the score as hard as possible. It is best to bring the score as close as possible."
"But the maximum point difference should not exceed 25 points, otherwise we will have to let Qingfeng take over the game early."
"Without Aomine and Midorima taking the initiative to intervene, if there is no good scoring opportunity, try to pass the ball to Sakurai."
"Let Sakurai take action to lure Midorima into defense and consume the opponent's energy as much as possible."
Qingfeng was a little dissatisfied with this arrangement and said, "Don't do unnecessary things!"
However, Coach Harazawa ignored him and continued to look at others.
Everyone nodded after hearing this arrangement. Although they may not be able to completely recover the score, they do not think that they are weaker than the opponent if Midorima does not take action.
