Chapter 219: Advancing to the Finals
Boom!
The orange basketball bounced off the front of the rebound, and Ikegami took the rebound. Almost at the same moment, Fujima and Mitsui started in unison and rushed to the opposing position as fast as they could.
As soon as he landed on the ground, Chishang turned around and looked at the whole court, and the actions of the players in his field of vision were almost subtle, and he raised his hand to shake the basketball hard.
Syllable!
Fujima, who had just entered the three-point line, caught the basketball, and only felt that this pass was wonderful in terms of angle, strength, speed and spin, so that he did not feel a trace of discomfort when receiving the ball, and did not need any adjustment. A three-step layup, the basketball fell into the basket, and the Fukuoka Prefecture players at this time could only eat dust behind Fujima.
In addition to Fujima's speed, the most important thing is that as time goes by, the aftermath of yesterday's big battle with Aichi Prefecture has begun to become more and more apparent, especially the Kanagawa team used targeted fast-break tactics, which had to make the Fukuoka Prefecture players tired.
This can be seen in the shooting percentage of the players in Fukuoka Prefecture who began to suffer as their physical strength wore out, and they no longer felt as lightweight as before. Although the cooperation is still very tacit, the drop in the hit rate has gradually caused a point difference between the two sides.
In a basketball game, there will always be such a rule, when teammates are becoming more and more weak, the critical moment always needs the core to get through the most difficult moments. Even the affiliated company of Hakata Business University, which is known for its teamwork, also has such a rule.
As a result, Hakata's core player Nobisuke began to exert his strength.
In terms of physical fitness, Naito faintly surpasses Nobisuke, but the gap in other aspects is not small. In basketball, defense is always passive, especially Naito, who is responsible for defense, is not experienced enough, and his defensive skills need to be strengthened.
If it is against ordinary players, Naito can use his strong physical fitness to finish, but in the face of the big gap Nobisuke, it can be overwhelmed, and there is a little difference between adults and children, simply put, being abused.
Nobisuke was framed to catch the ball, turned around and picked up Naito, took advantage of the situation to burst into the basket, and slammed the dunk.
Nobisuke received the ball in the face frame, used skillful footwork and feints to pull out space with Naito, and made a jumper......
For the remainder of the first half, Naito went through a hellish grind, facing the unusually rich inside skills of Nobisuke, tearing his defense again and again, his defense was like a thousand holes, and even made two fouls.
So much so that after the end of the first half, Naito, who returned to the bench, shrugged his head and was obviously hit.
"Well done, Naito!"
Hearing this voice, Naito raised his head in surprise and looked at Ikegami suspiciously.
"Look at his current state!" Ikegami said as he raised his hand and pointed to the bench opposite.
Naito followed Ikegami's fingers and looked at the other side, and he naturally heard that Ikegami was referring to Nobisuke, and he instantly condensed his mind into Nobisuke.
I saw that Nobisuke was sitting on the bench at this time, with a wet towel over his head, and even in Naito's position, his undulating chest and dripping sweat could be seen.
"You can't limit him, but it definitely takes a lot of energy and energy to score from you. ”
Ikegami explained a little, and wiped the sweat on his face.
"However, we still need a big shot in the second half so that the tone of this game can be set quickly!"
Coach Tian Gang on the side paused for a moment and continued: "In this way, after the play, you and Naito will switch positions on the field!"
Coach Taoka obviously has the idea of a quick solution to the battle, after all, once he wins this game, he will face Akita Prefecture tomorrow, and he does not want the players to be in poor form by then, otherwise they may be like the Fukuoka Prefecture team today.
"Okay, I've wanted to fight him for a long time!"
Even Ikegami, who has a flat personality, likes to compete with powerful opponents very much, and only then can he show his own level or even discover his own shortcomings.
Soon, the second half began.
While jumping the ball, Naito grabbed the basketball again, and the basketball was picked up by Fujima.
It wasn't until the time of the attack that the Hakata players present were stunned to find that there had been a change in the Kanagawa team, that is, Ikegami and Hisuke No, who mentioned the position of power forward, faced each other head-on.
Syllable!
Fuji made a quick ground-hitting pass, and the basketball bounced on the ground and landed in the hands of Ikegami, who was in the back frame.
At this time, Ikegami landed on the edge of the 45° edge of the penalty area, and after he received the basketball, the Kanagawa players ran away in unison, giving Ikegami plenty of space to play alone.
The Hakata players have no choice but to keep up with their respective opposing players, after all, the Kanagawa players present all have shooting ability, even Naito has developed a hand to shoot on the spot, and he has to defend it. Of course, there is also a relationship of trust in Nobisuke.
Catching the ball with both hands, Ikegami tried it with his back, and after finding that he couldn't squeeze Nobisuke, he stretched out his left foot and made a turning motion.
Nobisuke's center of gravity subconsciously fell on the left, and at this time, Ikegami immediately withdrew his left foot, and using his right foot as the fulcrum was a spinning top-like turn, parallel to Nobisuke.
Nobisuke just reacted, but helplessly found that Ikegami's left hand was raised, and a hook hand hit the ball in.
If the body does not have an advantage when attacking inside, then it is best to use footwork and feints to pull out space and trick the opponent into getting a shot. Of course, it is also possible to force an attack, but the success rate is much worse.
was scored a goal by Ikegami, and Nobisuke's mood was not abnormal, after all, he knew Ikegami's strength very well.
The offense and defense switched, and the fielder in the penalty area asked for the ball with his hand, and the Hakata point guard did not hesitate to pass the ball out at a suitable time.
Catching the ball in the same back frame, Nobisuke squeezed back hard, but he also didn't push Ikegami, and the Ikegami behind him didn't move like a big tree rooted in the roots.
The physical fitness of the two seems to be different, strength, height and weight are almost the same level, and it is common sense that Yebi does not move.
It's just that unlike Ikegami just now, Nobisuke didn't take advantage of his footsteps, but turned around and throws.
Ikegami jumped up, but he couldn't reach the basketball at all, and Nobisuke was noticeably a little more backwards when he made a jumper.
Brush!
The basketball went into the net, and after landing on the ground, Nobisuke waved his arm and turned back to defend.
In the following time, the two either teamed up or played alone, using themselves to sublimate the team's attack, resulting in the scores of both sides rising one after another.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, and as time went by, the physical strength of the Hakata players, including Nobisuke, also bottomed out, which finally affected the offensive and defensive efficiency, and the difference between the two sides began to widen.
In the end, with five minutes left in the game, the difference had widened to 20 points, and the Fukuoka Prefecture coach saw that there was no hope of victory, so he had to replace the substitute players and announce Fukuoka Prefecture's admission of defeat.
Coach Taoka also did the same, replacing the Kanagawa substitute players so that the starters could get enough rest to be prepared for tomorrow's final game.
