[Comprehensive] When the green room is crossed

Coach Anxi, who was sitting next to Midorima, saw the doubt hidden in Midorima's eyes, so he took the initiative to ask like gossip, "Does Midorima know Xiandao?"

Midorima squinted his eyes and continued to look at the field. At the beginning of the game, Xiangbei won the right to serve. He replied while watching: "Is that person Xiandao? I don't know him, coach." This is true. He didn't know the other party, at most he felt that the other party was a little familiar.But he really didn't expect that the familiar boy was actually the Immortal that Rukawa mentioned occasionally, the guy whom Rukawa called his opponent.

Coach Anzai didn't care either. He looked at Miyagi, who was passing the ball nimbly, and Xiandao, who was trying to seize the gap to steal the ball, and said softly, "Really? But Xiandao is a very powerful opponent." , just like Rukawa-san, he has a strong body and flexible skills, and most importantly, he has a calm mind. I once told Rukawa-san that he is not as good as Sendo-san, does Midorima-san know why? ?”

Midorima couldn't help turning his head to look at him, "Is Rukawa not as good as Immortal? What aspect is the coach referring to?" In his opinion, Rukawa is already considered to be powerful, but that Immortal is actually stronger than Rukawa?This surprised him a little.

Coach Anxi couldn't help but look at him more, and he didn't hide the surprise in his eyes. He said with emotion: "Midorima-san...you are really perceptive. Back then, Rukawa-san didn't ask me this question." What he did He just went back with a sullen face and continued to increase his practice and set the goal of becoming the number one high school student in Japan. He didn't even think of asking him how he was inferior to Xiandou.

But in his opinion, this can be regarded as the cute side of Rukawa-san.

Midorima answered him succinctly: "Because Rukawa is not weak." Since coach Anzai would say that Rukawa is not as good as the opponent, there must be a reason.And according to his observation of the game in front of him, Rukawa was not at a disadvantage against Kamisendo. The two of them were evenly matched, so he could basically rule out the point of basketball strength.And besides that...

Coach Anxi didn't answer him directly, but showed him with his eyes to watch Rukawa and Sendo face to face on the field, "In terms of specific aspects, you can probably observe them through the style between them, although the characteristics of Rukawa-san after a period of time now It's not so obvious anymore...but it's still there, Midorima-san, you can take a closer look."

Midorima focused his attention on the confrontation between the two pairs of aces, and saw that Xiandao was not in a hurry to break through after holding the ball, but slowly signaled his teammates who were waiting to respond, not to worry, regardless of Rukawa staring at him. No matter how sharp he was, the confident look on his face didn't change at all.And his teammates also obediently slowed down after listening to his instructions, no longer being provoked by Xiangbei. Just from this point of view, Xiandao's leadership is stronger than Rukawa's.

It's just that this leadership is necessary as a captain, and it is not so important for aces. For aces, their most important traits are to be able to give their teammates strong self-confidence and influence enough to turn the tide of the battle. As for In this regard, the current situation is not yet able to judge who is more dominant.

Rukawa tried every means to block Xiandao, but Xiandao was completely unaffected by his movements and controlled the rhythm of his own attack. Just when Xiandao suddenly changed his speed and wanted to break through to the left front of Rukawa, Xiandao suddenly passed without warning. ball -

He passed the ball to the player in front of him without looking at it, and because Rukawa was tricked by his fake action, he didn't stop the ball in time, allowing Lingnan to score a layup.

And in the next ball, it was Rukawa's turn to hold the ball, facing the blocking Xiandao, he was full of momentum, constantly changing his posture to break through Xiandao's defense, and Xiandao was still clinging to him.Rukawa suddenly lowered his body to speed up his dribble, and then quickly rushed in the direction of Xiandao.Xiandao tried to open his hands to stop him, but Rukawa still tore a hole in his defensive net. Just when Rukawa was about to rush forward and score a layup, the referee blew his whistle—a foul for charging.

Xiandao wiped off his sweat and smiled at Rukawa who was staring at him forcefully, "Rukawa, you were too hard just now, I'm really sorry." That's what he said, but there was no apology in his tone, some It's just the pride of the scheme's success.

Rukawa could only turn his head away, let out an unhappy "tsk" and ran to the basket to defend.

Of course, the free throw was just a trivial matter for Xiandao, he easily got the two points, and there was a burst of cheers from the Lingnan bench.

Seeing this, Midorima turned to look at Coach Anzai, his tone a little confused, "Does the coach mean that the two of them have different playing styles?" In his opinion, Rukawa belongs to the offensive type, while Sendo probably belongs to both offense and defense. Type it.

Coach Anzai laughed. He rubbed his belly and looked at Midorima, "Not only that, Xiandou-san knows one thing better than Rukawa-san... Midorima-san, from your point of view, what do you think it is? What's up?"

Midorima was silent—what did Xiandou understand better than Rukawa?What is meant?Is that what he thought?

Coach Anxi no longer looked at him, but cast his eyes on the court, "Rukawa-san has a nickname, which is derived from others' summarization of his playing style. I think it is a bit exaggerated, but it still makes sense. You know it is what?"

Midorima shook his head honestly. He just came to this world and hadn't had much contact with the people and things here, so it's normal not to know.

Coach Anxi didn't hold back, and said directly: "They call Rukawa-san 'Ghost of Attack'. It's not a nice name, but it still has similarities with Rukawa-san."

"'Offensive ghost'?" Midorima was clear-headed and quick thinking. As soon as he reminded him, he immediately understood what coach Anzai had been implying before. Are you not good at teamwork when you win with your own strength?" But in his heart, he felt that this name was very suitable for Rukawa, or it should be said that it fit Rukawa's way of playing.

——Actually, in the generation of miracles, there are not many guys who can cooperate with others. Everyone has their own way of playing, and everyone only cares about scoring points.When the power of the individual is strong enough to ignore the cooperation of the group, it seems a little out of date to pay attention to the issue of cooperation or non-cooperation.

——Although it seems that the coach does not agree with this point.

"Oh hehehe." Coach Anzai laughed out loud, "Midorima-san is really straightforward, but that's what I meant. Although Rukawa-san was not suitable for cooperating with teammates at the beginning, but now he has slowly started It has changed, and I also believe that he will become better. What do you think, Midorima-san? In your heart, is cooperation with teammates necessary?" His eyes sparkled with wisdom .

Midorima didn't notice the change in his eyes, he was just thinking about the meaning of the other party asking him this question, probably because he was worried that he would ignore the existence of his teammates and turn Xiangbei into a so-called "one-man team", right?

——But this is really the coach thinking too much.Even though he is a member of the generation of miracles, even if his strength has surpassed the rest of the team, but when he has suddenly realized the importance of his teammates and has begun to enjoy the fun of playing with his teammates, He is no longer the former Midorima Shintaro.

——It’s no longer the Lvjian who walks alone and only believes in himself.

So he smiled lightly, although he only raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Playing with everyone will be more interesting than playing alone, right?"

After hearing this, Coach Anxi patted him on the shoulder happily, "Oh hehehe, you really think very clearly, Midorima-san, it seems that you don't need me to worry about it. It’s more fun when everyone is together. As an old man, I really hope that you can adapt to life in Xiangbei as soon as possible, and then play happily with them!” In his opinion, Miyagi’s worries probably stem from the green Classmate Jian hasn't really adapted to the feeling of playing in Xiangbei, and it will change naturally after a period of time. They don't need to worry too much at all, and Classmate Midorima doesn't seem to be a person who has no sense of propriety.

Midorima pursed his lips and replied: "Yes." He could understand the other party's implication, and also knew that the captain Miyagi was secretly nervous. Teams that are far apart, he still needs time.

——Fortunately, the coach can understand him.

He couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

At this time, the first quarter of the game is over, Xiangbei is four points behind Lingnan, Lingnan is very happy, on the contrary, the atmosphere in Xiangbei is a bit dull.

Sakuragi, who was the first to lose his composure, patted Coach Anxi's stomach carelessly, and the soft flesh on his stomach made a crisp sound, and he pouted dissatisfiedly: "Dad! We are lagging behind now! Why don't you think of a way? Quickly think of a way, let that stinky hedgehog head take a good look at how powerful we are in Xiangbei!" There seemed to be a blazing fire behind him.

Coach Anxi was unmoved, and still smiled more like a Maitreya Buddha, "Don't be so anxious, Sakuragi-san, the game has just begun, and we will win." Looking at him, it seemed that he had already won the game.

Sakuragi looked at him suspiciously, "Really, Dad? Although I believe we will win this day, I still feel very upset that Xiandao and the others have scored more points than us!" Turning around, he saw Lu Jian who had been sitting on the bench, and he immediately pointed at him and said, "Well, Lu Jian, ahem, isn't Lu Jian very powerful? Why don't you let him play?" As soon as the nickname came out He immediately swallowed it back abruptly, causing his face to turn red. It seemed that the shock that Lvjian gave him that day was still fresh in his memory.

Miyagi and the others joked that he was scared by Midorima while drinking water, and Sakuragi quickly forgot that Midorima ran to trouble the few people who made fun of him.

Coach Anxi looked at the unresponsive Midorima, and asked him curiously: "Aren't you curious about why I didn't send you on the field from the beginning?"

"There's nothing to be curious about." Midorima adjusted his glasses, "The coach naturally has your reasons for doing this." So he didn't find it strange or questioned it. He believed that every coach would have his own plans and strategies.

"Hehe, Midorima-san really trusts me as an old man." Coach Anxi smiled, "But I will let you play soon after the start of the second quarter, and Midorima-san can almost prepare."

Midorima nodded without objection, "I see." He planned to warm up after the second quarter started.

When the second quarter started, Xiandao noticed with sharp eyes that Midorima, who had been sitting on the bench all the time, had gone to one side to prepare. He couldn't help but feel anticipation-is he finally going to play?

While thinking this way, he didn't forget to keep Rukawa who was trying to break through his defense to catch the ball firmly behind him, preventing him from taking advantage of it.

At about 5 minutes into the second quarter, Xiangbei successfully got the opportunity to make a substitution by virtue of Lingnan Xiandao's slam dunk, and Midorima replaced Mitsui on the field.

When passing by Midorima, Mitsui whispered, "Do it well."

Midorima pushed his glasses expressionlessly and didn't say much, but a strong light flashed in his eyes, which meant—that was natural.

Everyone in Lingnan was very curious about Lu Jian, a newcomer who had never seen him before. Originally, he had been on the bench, so they only thought that the other party was just a new backup member, so they didn't pay much attention.But now the opponent actually replaced Mitsui in the middle of the game, which made them vigilant, and they all wondered what kind of character the opponent was.

Coach Tian Gang clenched his fists nervously—that strange face actually replaced Mitsui!What is Coach Anxi planning?Is that new player actually comparable to the former mvp Mitsui?

On the other hand, the Xiangbei side was a little excited, and Miyagi was the most obvious. He ran directly to Midorima and punched him, grinning and saying, "It's finally on the stage." Look at the guys from Lingnan, fun things are coming soon!

He couldn't help but get excited now.

Midorima frowned at Miyagi's punch, as if he was not used to this kind of motivation, but he immediately relaxed his brows after hearing his words, and just raised his eyebrows and said: " Because seniors are too worrying."

Miyagi gritted his teeth, "Don't be so arrogant as a freshman—the seniors are also working hard!" This guy has been getting more and more sloppy recently!Obviously, he was still very polite before! "I hope Lingnan and the others can take a good look at how good we are when you play!"

Midorima raised her head slightly, making it difficult to see the expression on his face, "I don't need to be reminded by my senior to know this."

Miyagi held back his temper and only patted him, "Then get in position, you go and watch No. [-] Zhicao, who is defended by Xiaosan, be careful, his defense is in place."

Midorima looked at Lingnan No. [-] player standing in front of Mitsui's vacated position, who was almost a head shorter than him. Based on his observation just now, he had no pressure to defend at all, "I see."

After Midorima was in position, the game resumed. Miyagi raised an index finger outside the line holding the ball and said, "Don't worry, let's take our time and score him a goal!"

Uekusa Tomoyuki, who was in front of Midorima, although it was not easy to defend the opponent when he was so much shorter than the opponent, but he still tried his best to block Midorima's steps towards Miyagi with his body.

While holding his body firmly and not retreating, Midorima had the leisure to push his eyes under his nose, and snorted in his heart-to this extent, he really underestimated him.

So before Zhicao could react, he rushed to the left, and then ran a few steps to the right when Zhicao subconsciously followed him to the left, and stretched out his hand to catch it——

The ball from Miyagi is in hand.

Zhicao had already reacted when he received the ball and wanted to advance to the penalty area. He hurriedly ran to Midorima to stop him from continuing to dribble forward, thinking that no matter whether it was a dribble layup or a three-pointer, he could not let the opponent take a shot. .But before he got close to the three-point line, Midorima had already made a throwing posture——

Although screaming in his heart that it was impossible, Zhicao still stretched out his hand subconsciously to stop him, but it was too late——

Immediately after the ball was thrown from Midorima's hands, it shot into the midair with a strange super high parabola, and then fell suddenly in the midair close to the basket, passing straight through the basket.

Zhicao stared blankly at the basketball that fell to the ground, feeling a little unbelievable, and there were not a few people who had the same reaction as him, at least the people in Lingnan were whispering about the ball——

"What's going on? Is that kind of trajectory really okay?" A certain reserve player A stared.

"But he really made it! Such a weird parabola!" A reserve player B rubbed his eyes.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence, just a coincidence." A reserve player C who couldn't believe it.

"Could this be Xiangbei's latest secret weapon? It's really powerful! I must record it carefully!" A certain backup player Hikoichi Aida, who was always thinking about it, stared at Midorima's eyes on the field with his notebook.

Sendo looked at Miyagi and Midorima, who patted Midorima on the shoulder appreciatively, and smiled playfully as he recalled the shot just now——Is that guy a three-point shooter?It's pretty awesome!Now it's interesting~~

The game continues.

Those who had doubts about Midorima's goal just now also gradually understood how terrifying this new opponent who was put on the field was in the next game, and in the few goals that Midorima made zero mistakes——

He won't be provoked or even irritated by the opponent's few words. He has a calm and self-sufficient face from beginning to end. He has outstanding offensive ability and not weak defensive ability. The most terrible thing is the three-pointer that the opponent can shoot at any time—— He shot 100% without a doubt.

This made Lingnan impossible to guard against, or at all, because there were not many players on their team who could match Lu Jian's height and ability.The only fairy road was also restrained by Rukawa, and Midorima had no scruples at all.

They also tried switching Xiandao to defend Midorima, but although Xiandao is very strong, when he faced Midorima who was attacking at full strength, he still couldn't resist, because he was not as outstanding as Sakuragi or the original Vulcan His jumping ability can stop Midorima's shots.

Coach Tian Gang was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling, but there was still nothing he could do. The current Lingnan couldn't deal with Xiangbei after Midorima joined.Leaving aside the newly joined Midorima, just a returning Akagi and the others would be a bit overwhelming, let alone the combination of Midorima and Rukawa with super combat power.

Therefore, although Coach Tian Gang was dissatisfied with the result of Lingnan losing to Xiangbei in the end, he was more helpless-now Xiangbei is stronger, and Xiangbei will undoubtedly become Lingnan's competition for the right to play in the winter qualifiers The biggest opponent, absolutely cannot be ignored!

——And they have to pay more attention to the new combat power Lvjian who joined Xiangbei strongly...

When everyone in Xiangbei was rejoicing and preparing to go back because of the result of the game, Xiandao walked up to the green room that was being cleaned up, and he raised a friendly smile, "Is that the green room? Do you remember me?"
