Chapter 17 The County Contest Begins
After a friendly match with Xiangbei, the Lingnan team re-engaged in training, due to the relationship suppressed by Akagi Gangken in the game, Yuzhu not only did not complain in training, but also worked harder than usual, especially rarely, Yuzhu often asked Ikegami, Daimon Musashi, Daikusu and others to ask for various inside techniques.
With Yuzumi as a foil, the rest of the basketball team has also been infected, and the amount of training has increased more or less, which makes Shigeru Taoka feel very relieved, thinking that this year's Lingnan will at least be able to get a place in the top four in Kanagawa Prefecture as long as his luck is not too bad.
During this period, in order to prevent the boring training from being too boring, Shigeichi Taoka often used his connections to compete with teams from other universities, so that the compatibility of this Lingnan team began to rise steadily.
Chishang's training has not changed much, but in order to improve the shooting rate after the three-point shooting speed is improved, the three-point shots trained every day have naturally increased, although the shooting rate has increased quite slowly, but Chishang has no irritability, and the memory of the two lives is enough to make his heart mature.
Just as the overall strength of the Lingnan basketball team is steadily improving, the date of the county competition is getting closer and closer.
As the county tournament got closer and closer, in the Lingnan indoor basketball hall, Shigeichi Taoka's roar was endless, and he began to urge the players to train hard, making them miserable.
Some freshmen who have just joined the basketball team in the first year can't stand the hard and boring training and start to quit the team, of course, the reason why they quit the team is also the relationship between their own talent and strength.
Shigeichi Taoka didn't have any reservations about this, and in his opinion, as long as it wasn't Ikegami and Yuzumi who wanted to quit in the new life, nothing else mattered.
Soon, the schedule of the county competition began to come out, this schedule is obviously the best for the Lingnan team, although before entering the quarterfinals, they have to play against Miuradai, who is also in the quarterfinals last year, but once they enter the quarterfinals, their opponent in the joint final is undoubtedly the weakest existence in the top four - Tsukutake!
In other words, before entering the joint finals, the Lingnan team will not meet Hainan, Xiangyang and Buri, the three strong teams that have advanced to the joint finals all year round.
You must know that this year's Buri is not two years later Buri can be compared, last year's overall strength of Buri is not much worse than Hainan, Xiangyang, especially in the battle with Xiangyang, it was a draw, if it is not for the overtime Buri double core physical strength, who wins and who loses is really not necessarily.
As for Tsukutake, a traditional strong team in Kanagawa, although the strength is also good, its strength is undoubtedly weaker than the other three.
"It's still the organizing committee's strength, this year's Lingnan can at least reach the joint finals! With our current strength, we also have a chance to enter the national competition! But I hope everyone will guard against arrogance and rashness, and don't despise any opponent. ”
Looking at the battle table in his hand, Shigeichi Taoka's face was slightly excited.
"Yes, Coach!"
…… Gorgeous dividing line......
Although Lingnan was the top eight team in Kanagawa Prefecture last year, it is not much different from other teams except for the top four, and it still needs to be played round by round until it enters the top eight before it can compete with last year's top four for a place in the joint finals.
The opponent of the first game of the Lingnan team is called Anxin University, this team is not brilliant in general, and it is a round of travel in last year's county competition, which is not comparable to the Lingnan team.
The difference in strength between the two teams is too great, but Shigeichi Kogaoka finally sent the strongest starting lineup at present, namely Ou Kusu, Inoue Toyose, Ikegami Ryoji, Ozawa Yusaku and Matsushita Asahi Ken!
The reason why Shigeichi Taoka sent such a lineup is mainly to run in the lineup, in addition to Chi Shang, the cooperation of the other four people in the starting five is naturally very tacit, and the time for Chi Shang to join the Lingnan team is too short, although the personal strength is very strong, but the cooperation with the remaining four is not too tacit, and only actual combat is the fastest shortcut to increase tacit understanding.
"Ikegami, if it's not necessary, it's better not to break through with the ball, can you do it as a shooter on the surface?" When Ikegami was about to play, Shigeichi Kooka specially explained softly.
Ikegami nodded and agreed, Shigeichi Taoka's idea was very simple, that is, to prevent the opponent from paying too much attention to Ikegami, and when the time came to face a strong team, Ikegami would be able to act as a surprise soldier!
Not long after, after the warm-up of both teams, the game began.
The strength of the Anxin college basketball team can only be described as scum, it belongs to the kind of team that accompanies the prince to study, and this kind of team is very few in Kanagawa Prefecture, but most of them are just a round of the county competition!
In terms of starting lineup, the strength of the Lingnan basketball team is obviously much stronger than the Anxin basketball team with fish belly, even in terms of height. It's not that the average height of the Lingnan team is too high, but that the altitude of the Anxin basketball team is too low.
But just a glance at the lineup of the Anxin basketball team, Chishang couldn't help but shake his head, in addition to the starting five, the Anxin basketball team has only two people on the bench, and even the 12-person lineup is not far from being completed, which is similar to the current Xiangbei basketball team. The main reason is that the team's results are too poor, and the mood of the freshmen to join the team is not high.
From the very beginning of this game, the Anxin basketball team fell into an absolute disadvantage, and the gap between the two teams was too big, even if the Lingnan basketball team did not play its full strength!
The task of Ikegami in this game is very simple, the main thing is to connect the team in the small forward position, and it is really Matsushita Xujian, who serves as a point guard, that the attack ** is too high, no matter how you look at it, it is more like a division. There was no way, and the tandem work fell on Ikegami.
In addition to tandem, Ikegami is also grabbing rebounds, and occasionally running out of the air to release a cold arrow. In addition to restricting his ability to break through with the ball, he also limited his defensive level by the way, anyway, this game is abuse.
As a result, Ikegami's stats are rising, and due to the reduction of ball-holding breakthroughs, the timing of the rebounds is better grasped, which makes his three-goal stats climb again.
In this situation of comprehensive suppression, after halftime, the two sides have opened a 30-point difference, and the difference in strength can be described as huge.
After all, it was the opening of the county competition, and the Lingnan basketball team was only the top eight team last year, so there were not many spectators who came to watch.
Among them, the Tsukutake basketball team watched the game on the spot, because Tsukutake was the top four team last year, and this year only needs to face this group of teams that entered the quarterfinals, so it can be said that they are quite free and have enough time to inspect the enemy.
In the eyes of the Tsukutake basketball team, only Lingnan and Miuratai are a threat to them in the group they are in, and the rest of the college basketball teams are all inappropriate roles.
Of course, the reason why Tsukumukai attaches so much importance to intelligence is mainly because although this team was in the semi-finals last year, they faced Hainan, Xiangyang and Buri in the joint finals, but achieved a humiliating three consecutive defeats. In other words, last year's Tsukushi was no better than the rest of the quarterfinals basketball teams.
"Lingnan is stronger than last year!" In the front row of the audience, after watching for a long time, Tsukumu Captain Cangyue Akagi had a solemn face and said such a sentence.
"Yes, the rest hasn't changed much, but there is more than that ten! With the tandem of the ten, although the strength of the other players in Lingnan is not much stronger than last year, but the offense between them is more like an unguardable feeling, I remember that Lingnan didn't have this player last year, is it a freshman?"
Cangyue Akagi's statement was agreed by the rest of the team, and the current Lingnan offensive is like a cloud of peers, which is obviously better than last year! Seeing this scene, Matsumoto Kura, the deputy captain of Tsukutake, expressed his analysis. It's just that in the end, the expression on his face was obviously hesitant, mainly because the strength shown by Ikegami was too amazing.
