The schedule for the semi-finals of the national competition was soon announced, namely Zhaorong vs. Liantian and Teikou vs. Takeshi.

Due to the skill of being immune to serious injuries, Shiraishi, who had been stepped down, rested for two days and was resurrected with full health. However, for safety reasons, Coach Platinum arranged for Shiraishi not to appear in the semifinals as much as possible. Shiraishi is very depressed about this, but he understands that the coach is thinking about himself and the team can win even without him. After all, in the original work Teiko also completed three consecutive championships. There is no reason why he is stronger than the original work and still loses.

……

Because of the importance of the semi-finals, the two games were not played at the same time but were divided into two times, morning and afternoon. The first competition was between Zhaorong Middle School and Liantian Middle School.

In the audience, everyone from Di Guang appeared.

"Ah, there are so many familiar people." Shiraishi sighed after seeing Kirizaki No. 1 Middle School, Masahiro Middle School and some teams in school uniforms from the surrounding stands.

"Everyone has been practicing for this competition for a year or more, and it also happens to be a holiday. Many teams will not leave early after losing the game, but will watch the final winning team at the scene." I'm not surprised by this. Weird Nijimura explained.

Soon players from both sides entered the field.

"Muji, long time no see. I won't lose to you again this year. I just ate five bowls of rice. Be prepared for failure." Nebutani Yongji took the initiative to greet Muji Teppei.

As a well-known talent in the first grade, he lost to Teppei Muyoshi on the court last year, which made Nebutani, who is still playing the power forward position, start to work hard to train his muscles. Now with a strong body, he is as good as the centers of many teams.

Teppei Muyoshi, who is also tall, plays the point guard position. Although he has an occasionally off-line personality and a naturally dull look, his thinking and planning on the basketball court appear to be quite thorough. Coupled with his sincere love for basketball and his mentality of never giving up until the last moment of the game, which always affects his team, Zhaorong's overall resilience is stronger than that of ordinary teams.

"Yongji, long time no see. Let's enjoy the game with our heart."

……

The game started soon, and Zhaorong's center No. 5 lost the jump ball to Newu Gu, who was serving as the power forward.

Muji quickly defended Liantian's point guard No. 7 after seeing him receive the ball.

Muji looked like a wall in front of him. Liantian No. 7's face was covered with black lines, and he also lost the opportunity for a fast break.

Lian Tian No. 7 dribbled the ball and looked at his teammates' positions, then suddenly made a feint pass to the left. Seeing Muji quickly move to the left to block his passing route, the basketball in his hand suddenly passed to Genwu Gu on the right.

After receiving the ball, Newugu vigorously dribbled the basketball towards the opponent's inside, already possessing the essence of his high school style of play. All by relying on brute force, center No. 5 Zhaorong's hand that was already pressing on the basketball returned without any success and he poured it directly into the basket.

Muji pulled his teammates up from the ground and comforted him: "It's okay, it's just one goal, take your time."

"Let's play steadily and give them a goal!" Muji shouted to his teammates while dribbling the ball with a finger outstretched.

Although he is big, Muji's skillful dribbling of the ball did not give Liantian No. 7 a chance to steal the ball.

Teammate Muji, who was watching the running, winked at Terei No. 11, and then also ran with the ball. Suddenly, it suddenly broke through to the right, and when Liantian No. 7 was about to follow, it bumped into Zhaorong No. 11.

As a team that is known for its teamwork and has won many victories based on team experience, things like pick-and-rolls seem normal.

After Muji broke through, he quickly rushed to the basket and took off to dunk.

Center No. 8, Genwugu and Liantian, jumped together to block him.

Unexpectedly, Muji suddenly smiled and changed his hand movements in the air, changing from shooting to passing and passed the ball to Zhaorong No. 5 under the basket.

"Interesting, he was clearly going to dunk just now and didn't intend to pass the ball, right? Can he change his actions in this situation?" Qingfeng in the audience said it was interesting after seeing the ball, and he had an impression of Muji for the first time.

"Look at his hands. They are one size larger than ordinary people. He can now grab the basketball with one hand. This allows him to change the timing of his shot at any time, making it unpredictable. Or even if he predicts it, it will not happen. Meaning, after all, he can change his moves at any time, which gives him the right to take action later." Shiraishi explained to everyone.

"This kind of person can perform better under the basket. Of course, it doesn't mean that he is not a good point guard, but his physical advantages cannot be changed." Midorima pushed up his glasses and expressed his opinion.

Back on the field, Genwugu, who felt that he had been tricked by Muji again, was very angry. No. 7 Liantian reached for the ball as soon as he dribbled the ball past half-court.

Liantian No. 7 was naturally satisfied with the performance of the team's ace, and passed it directly to Genwu Gu without any fake moves.

After receiving the ball, Newugu used his back and used his muscles to squeeze Terei No. 9 and push inside. Seeing this, Muji quickly followed up to help Terei No. 9 relieve the pressure.

After pushing up, he discovered that Genwugu's strength had increased a lot over the past year. No wonder he could overwhelm No. 5 with brute force alone.

Muji lowered his center of gravity and put his hand on Genwugu's waist, hindering Genwugu's advancement with brute force. While concentrating on watching Genwugu's footsteps and the direction of the ball, he tried to judge Genwugu's next move immediately.

After Genwugu felt the power behind him, he passed the ball directly to Liantian No. 7 who was running.

After all, he didn't think that he, who had focused all his energy on gaining weight and strength this year, could technically compete with Muji. In this case, he might as well leave it to his teammates.

Liantian No. 7, who was open, received the ball and dribbled the ball twice, allowing Zhaorong No. 11, who was on the outside, to react and rush forward to cover the defense.

However, just as Zhaorong No. 11 rushed in front of him, Liantian No. 7 passed the ball to Liantian No. 6, who was still on the outside. After receiving the ball, No. 6 Lian Tian took off and shot directly from outside the three-point line. Because no one interfered, the ball went in without accident.

Seeing this, Shiraishi glanced emphatically at Lian Tian No. 7, a character who did not appear in the original work. He didn't know whether he went abroad in high school or gave up playing basketball. After all, such a person with good basketball skills shouldn't be unknown.

It's no wonder that Genwu Gu, who has such rough skills, can lead the team to the semi-finals. Although his muscle basketball is also very strong, players with a slightly better vision should be able to see his disadvantages. Flexible response will allow him to use up his energy in vain during the game. Therefore, the one from Liantian Middle School should be in the form of double aces.

In the following games, Muji organized the offense as the point guard during the offense. During the defense, Muji and Terei No. 9 switched defenses to defend Newugu.

In this way, although Liantian is also very strong, it is still Zhaorong who takes the lead when the team's ace is suppressed.

The turning point of the game did not come until the third quarter, because Muji frequently changed defenses and faced Liantian's two aces, which consumed a lot of his energy.

Therefore, there is no way Muji can rest on the bench in the third quarter. He just hopes that his teammates can withstand the pressure. Even if they lose in this quarter, don't lose too much. That way, they still have a chance to win back in the fourth quarter.

And Liantian No. 7 was merciless when he saw this opportunity finally coming. Although Muji is very strong, the game is not a one-man game.

In the third quarter, although Zhaorong was unable to win back under Liantian's high-intensity attack, he still managed to withstand the pressure. Liantian also felt that he could accept it. Although he did not defeat Zhaorong in one fell swoop, the score changed from being 9 points behind at the beginning to 7 points ahead.

During the break, Muji looked at his teammates who were severely exhausted and consoled them: "Everyone played well. After all, the gap of only 7 points quickly caught up. There is only the last quarter left, let's enjoy the game!"

"Good!" x N

As the whistle blew, both sides quickly took the field.

"The team is actually different when this person comes on the field. Is this leadership quality?" Midorima stared at Muyoshi and said when he saw the Teruei players who had a completely different fighting spirit than in the third quarter.

"Why are you so passionate? It's so annoying. If I meet him, I will crush him." Murasakihara said lazily while eating snacks.

……

"Thank you for taking care of my teammates." Muji interfered with Liantian No. 7 by talking while dribbling.

"How can it be that they are also very competitive?" Lian Tian No. 7 "praised" the opponent's players with a face of denial.

However, just as he said these words, Kumuji suddenly accelerated and broke through from the left and quickly rushed to the basket.

"Damn it!" Realizing that he had been tricked, No. 7 quickly followed and jumped to block the shot from behind.

Newu Gu also ran over when he saw this. Considering Muji's unreasonable back shot, he did not jump with his two teammates to block Muji. Instead, he used his muscles to block Zhaorong No. 5 and get a good catch. ball position.

Unexpectedly, Muji did not change his actions after seeing it. Instead, he dunked the ball directly to the basket with the advantage of taking off first. Although Lian Tian's two players tried their best to organize, No. 7 was not that tall and still blocked the shot from behind without touching the ball at all. Although No. 8 touched the ball, he also felt the situation when Terei No. 5 faced Newu Gu. Although Muji's power was not as strong as Newu Gu, it was not something No. 8 could compete with.

Seeing Muji hit such a wonderful goal after coming on the field, the audience burst into cheers. Everyone in Zhaorong also ran over and high-fived Muji to celebrate.

Seeing this, Liantian No. 7 walked up to Genwugu and said, "When you attack next, you have to go to the basket. He shouldn't be able to stop you under the basket. Let the team win with your strength."

After listening, Genwu Gu nodded. Although his skills are not as good as Muji's, he should be able to score easily with his muscles and strength at the basket.

Although the game entered the fourth quarter, Liantian No. 7 did not run much and often organized his teammates to attack while he only had to stay aside.

Therefore, except for his body being slightly sweaty, he showed no other signs of physical exhaustion. As he quickly dribbled the ball with his left foot and took a small step forward to the left, his upper body, hands and hands rebounded from the right side of the ground. The ball swayed to the left, pretending to break through from the left, but at this time his center of gravity was on his left foot.

Just when Zhaorong No. 9 moved to the left to defend, he quickly pushed hard on the ground after touching the ground with his left foot, took a big step forward with his right foot, and at the same time turned his right hand to the upper left side of the ball where it touched the ball, quickly Send the ball forward and down to the right. Quickly step forward with your left foot, while protecting the ball with your left shoulder, and quickly break through from the right.

He quickly got rid of No. 9 Zhaorong and came to the inside and threw the ball to Genwugu who was under the basket.

After receiving the ball, Genwugu turned around, jumped high, grabbed the ball with both hands, and threw it towards the basket.

However, he was surprised to find that although Muji's strength was not as good as his, he had discovered his intention in advance. He took off with a short sprint distance to block the forward trend of the basketball, and then pressed the ball down.

Zhaorong No. 5 picked up the ball and threw it to Zhaorong No. 11 on the outside. No. 11 dribbled the ball towards the opponent's half and quickly scored on the board.

Genwugu fell to the ground and propped his hands back on the ground, looking at the man standing in front of him. He couldn't believe that the muscles he had worked hard to build for a year were pushed to the ground by him.

But Muji didn't say anything and quickly returned to a defensive state. As the atmosphere on the court changed subtly.

Although Lian Tian No. 7 knows that he should trust the ace, the current ace is obviously too immature compared to Muji. There was no choice but to try to avoid a fight between the two of them. After all, if Genwugu was stopped again, the fighting spirit of his teammates might collapse.

Since the inside line is not dominant now, we can only start from the outside line, running quickly and dribbling the ball to look for opportunities.

However, Muji accidentally rushed out from the inside and swatted the ball away. It was picked up by Zhaorong No. 9 and quickly scored.

"Don't be afraid to shoot directly. Anyway, I still have a chance at the basket, but you have no other way, right?" Genwu Gu ran to No. 7 and said.

After thinking for a while, No. 7 nodded, dribbled the ball over again, and passed the ball directly to Liantian No. 6, signaling him to shoot directly.

Looking at No. 6 Lian Tian’s quick throw action, No. 11 Zhao Rong shouted: “Rebound!”

Under the basket, Genwugu had already taken a position in advance and relied on his muscles to block Muji and Muji.

Newugu jumped up high to catch the basketball. Just when he was about to be happy, he suddenly found Muji jumping up too. He grabbed the basketball from the air with one hand and snatched it away.

After landing, he threw the ball and shouted: "Fast break!"

Zhaorong No. 11 scored quickly again after receiving the ball.

Lian Tian's teammates stared blankly at Gen Wugu's entranced appearance. They were brought back to their senses by the cheers around them and then slowly began to attack.

Liantian was suppressed by Zhaorong in the following games. When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the score came to 109:102. Zhaorong won the game narrowly and narrowly.

……

"Wonderful game. Let's go, we have to prepare for the afternoon game." After seeing the result, Hongcun stood up and said to everyone.

Then everyone from Diguang left to prepare for the upcoming game in the afternoon.
