Chapter 160: Friendly Match, Mainly for Competition
After hearing what Sashiro said, Du Feng said with some concern.
"Your ankle is injured, right? Isn't this a bit too much of a stretch?"
Everyone had similar expressions, looking at Sashiro with worry.
Sashiro was already very satisfied that everyone present was so concerned about him.
He waved his hand and said:
"It's okay. As long as the intensity isn't too high, it doesn't matter to me."
After saying this, he looked at everyone again and said with concern:
"The main purpose of coming here today is to exchange ideas. Friendship comes first, competition comes second, so it doesn't matter to me."
Hearing Sashiro say this, Du Feng was of course extremely happy.
This is a very good experience for the young people in their team, and it is also a valuable experience for them to get in touch with high-level athletes in advance.
For something like this, if you miss this opportunity, it will be hard to encounter it a second time.
So when Sashiro said this, Du Feng quickly and happily arranged:
"Okay! Since Sashiro has said so, why don't you hurry up and get ready. You all will automatically be divided into two teams later."
"Yes!!"
The members of the Guangdong team were excitedly preparing in the audience.
And Sashiro was also doing the very important warm-up exercises before the game on the sidelines...
Digest breakfast.
After a moment, when the players from both sides were ready.
An informal friendly match had officially begun!
Here, Xu Jie, Zeng Fanri, and others were assigned to the team opposite Sashiro.
Because both teams had a total of 9 players on the field, Xu Jie, who was not originally supposed to be a starter, also started on the field.
For Xu Jie, he cherished this competition opportunity very much.
At this time, the game between the two sides began.
The team Sashiro was in was called Team One, and the team Xu Jie was in was called Team Two.
After the friendly match started, the second team took the lead in launching an attack.
Zeng Fanri of the second team scored strongly against Ren Junfei under the basket.
Team One did not dare to show weakness either. Hu Mingxuan turned around and made a layup to score, tying the score!
The two sides fought very fiercely from the beginning, which surprised Sashiro who was watching on the side.
It's good to be young...!
Here, Team One passed the ball to Xu Jie.
Xu Jie didn't look like an inexperienced rookie at all. He started attacking immediately after he got the ball.
"Pick and roll! Wing screen!!"
"Brother Peng, go for it!"
After organizing the attack, Xu Jie found that the opponent's defensive focus was all on other players, and his own defense was minimal.
At this moment, he made a prompt decision and chose to take a three-point shot without hesitation!
Swish!
Score!!
After seeing this scene, the coach who was watching the game on the sidelines also sighed slightly:
"This Xu Jie... is really confident."
For most newcomers, the biggest problem when playing on the court is not that their technical level is not enough.
But they lack confidence.
Hesitation and fear of shooting, these two situations often greatly reduce the efficiency of the attack.
However, there was no such thing in Xu Jie.
He acted decisively and scored three points for the team.
When Sashiro saw this, he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
This is how you play basketball, don't hesitate.
Hesitation leads to defeat!
Out of courtesy, Sashiro reached out for the ball.
"I'll return one too!"
Sashiro was seen smiling, but the players facing him felt tremendous pressure.
The pressure was huge!!
Although they knew that Sashiro would most likely choose to shoot, they were still very nervous.
They were afraid that Sashiro would break through and pass them directly.
But even in this highly tense state, Sashiro was able to pull up the ball calmly!
Swish!
The three-pointer went in steadily.
5:5!!
"Damn, it's so accurate!"
"It's really stable..."
"Tsk, tsk, there's something."
"I never thought that he didn't even need to warm up?"
Even veteran Zhou Peng couldn't help but sigh that Sashiro's calmness was beyond the level he should have at his age.
He was truly worthy of being an athlete who had experienced world-class competitions.
His shots were very stable!!
After the emotional expression, the game between the two sides continued.
The young players of the Guangdong team were given the most offensive opportunities, which was also a kind of support from other seniors to the juniors.
The young players also performed very well.
Everyone's touch was getting better and better, and they were constantly entering the best offensive state.
Halfway through the game, both teams were in a very hot mood.
Both sides took turns to play in singles matches that showcased their individual abilities and used exquisite tactical coordination.
This game was really exciting!!
But no one saw Sashiro take action.
Although Sashiro was in this game, he played a more important role in attracting firepower, giving more ball possession to other players.
With this, Hu Mingxuan made a pull-up jump shot, widening the score between the two sides again!
42:40!
At this time, the second team here was also in full swing.
Xu Jie was even more daring in both fighting and shooting.
He shot directly from outside the three-point line with the help of a pick-and-roll!
Swish!!
Three more points!!
The score never widened to a significant level.
Because the game was very close, and everyone felt that they were in a very good state.
This state was also related to their own enthusiasm today!!
Sashiro's arrival really made each of them very excited.
"Beep! Halftime break!!"
At this time, both sides returned to the sidelines.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement.
"Phew! Did you see that shot I just made?"
"I saw it, your step-back three-pointer was so cool!!"
"Xu Jie played well today!"
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm still far behind my predecessors!"
"Don't be modest, each of you played very well, and I can see that you are in great form today!"
"Of course. After all, we also want to perform well and prove ourselves!"
It can be said that everyone on the benches was in harmony.
At this time, Sashiro also came over.
Said to them:
"You guys played really well! It seems like Coach Du has been asking you to practice your basic skills a lot. Your basic skills are very solid!"
Sashiro said sincerely:
"I think if you keep working hard like this, even the NBA won't be too far away for you."
Everyone couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride on their faces.
Many of them were already thinking about the day when they could actually enter the NBA!!
And at this time.
A young Guangdong player standing nearby suddenly stood up and said to Sashiro:
"Brother Bai! Why don't you take two more shots? Take two more shots in the second half!"
Sashiro touched his stomach and felt that it was almost digested.
So he reached out and agreed:
"No problem, let's spar in the second half!"
At this moment, everyone who was feeling the heat was excited and thrilled:
"Good!!"
