Chapter 49: Coach, Please Let Me Play
In terms of comprehensive strength, Danu's hometown and Yuzhu are in the middle of the best, Yuzhu is better in height and strength, and Danu's hometown is more experienced and offensive means.
It's just that Coach Tian Gang is obviously not optimistic about Da Nan's hometown, mainly because the opponent in Da Nan's hometown is no worse than him in all aspects, and he has an advantage in height and strength. In other words, when facing Kazuhiro Ikeda, the disadvantage of Ousu's hometown is obvious.
As for why there is such a big difference between two similar players facing the same opponent, it is mainly in physical fitness. Although Uozumi is not as good as Kazuhiro Ikeda, it is no worse than Kazuhiro Ikeda in terms of height and strength, and can effectively restrain Kazuhiro Ikeda.
Height and strength are important aspects for a centre-forward, and when both can be advantageous, the situation becomes different, just like the game that continues on the field.
During Hainan's attack, Makishiichi passed the ball to Kazuhiro Ikeda, who was in a good position.
After catching the ball, Kazuhiro Ikeda took the opportunity to lean his back twice. Da Nan, who was close to him, even if his face was flushed, he still couldn't stop retreating.
So when Kazuhiro Ikeda retreated from Ousu's hometown, he turned his back and slammed the basketball into the basket.
Kazuhiro Ikeda shook his head and glanced at Ousu's hometown with a little fear, his eyes full of contempt. In his opinion, Danan's hometown defense is obviously much easier than Yuzhu's, and he can rely on his height and strength advantage to take the opportunity to fight.
With a slight hot sweat on Ikegami's face, after failing to force a breakthrough, he passed the ball to the nearest Ou Nan's hometown.
Danan held the ball in both hands and pushed against Kazuhiro Ikeda behind him, but he didn't move at all. In desperation, he could only use his fairly good offensive footsteps to shake off Ikeda and Hiroshi.
Kazuhiro Ikeda is unmoved, although he is more reckless, but he has more competition experience than Ousu's hometown, especially since he has experienced two national competitions, and it is not too difficult to keep up with Ousu's hometown.
Danu held the ball and turned around a few times, and he didn't look at the situation of Kazuhiro Ikeda, so he jumped up and wanted to shoot under the basket without thinking.
"How naïve!"
Kazuhiro Ikeda then jumped up and waved a big hot pot to slap the basketball thrown by Ousu's hometown.
The basketball flew straight to the Lingnan half, and a figure rushed out in an instant at this time, and as soon as he picked up the basketball and started to take three steps, it was Mu Shenyi.
Chishang started a step slower, and followed closely behind the gentry, but he was silently counting in his heart.
One, two, three!
Now is the time!
After three steps together, Ikegami jumped up from his side, but when he saw that there was no ball in his hand, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
Bang dang!
Without waiting for Ikegami to think about it, there was a sound of slam dunk from the basket behind him, and he hurriedly looked back, only to find that Takanomiya Motoyu was hanging on the basket at this time, looking down at him not far away.
"Fortunately, I chose to pass the ball just now!" said Mu Shen as he picked up the hem of his jersey with his right hand and wiped the sweat stains on his chin.
It turned out that when Ikegami was chasing after Mu Shenyi, Mu Shen immediately noticed that in order to play a success rate, Mu Shen decided to pass the ball when he took three steps, and he took three steps to confuse Ikegami.
"It's just a ball, not to mention it's not your score, it's necessary to be so proud! Besides, when a man should be tougher, can your style of play be softer?"
Chishang spread out his hands and glanced at Mu Shen Yi indifferently, his eyes were full of helplessness, Mu Shen Yi was a little angry, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Mu Shen didn't speak, and left on his own, his style of play is quite mature, and he will not go head-to-head because of what Ikegami said, because after the previous battle, he knows very well that it is not an ordinary difficulty to break through Ikegami's defense, and how to ensure the success rate in that case. So he chose to pass the ball in many situations where he could go heads-up, and he was ridiculed by Ikegami instead.
Of course, the reason why Ikegami said this was to arouse the anger of Makishiichi, so that Makishiichi would temporarily lose his mind and fight with him, and then the situation of the game would be biased in Lingnan again, but unfortunately Ikegami still underestimated Maki's maturity.
In the next game, no matter how Ikegami provoked Makishi, the effect was dispensable, Makishenichi was like an ordinary point guard who dribbled through the half, and after entering the Lingnan half, he would often hand over the ball to Ikeda and Hiroshi Takamiyamoto who clearly had the upper hand.
So during the period when Yuzhu was replaced, the Lingnan team obviously fell into a disadvantage in the two positions of center and small forward, and the situation of the whole game was gradually controlled by Hainan.
"It's not okay to go on like this, the score difference is starting to widen. Ikegami glanced at the numbers on the scoreboard, and the current score between Lingnan and Hainan is 31:40, and the Lingnan team is nearly ten points behind, with eight minutes to go before the end of the first half.
It's not that Chi Shang is not strong, among Ling Nan's 31 points, Chi Shang scored 14 points personally, and the remaining 17 points are mostly related to him. It can be said that if it weren't for Ikegami, the difference between the two teams would have only widened.
In Ikegami's personal opinion, the Hainan team in front of him is better than the Hainan team two years later in terms of the overall lineup, and it is better than Xiangyang in the lineup, which can be said to be the first in Kanagawa Prefecture this year.
As for the current Lingnan team, if there is no core of Ikegami, it will be the level of the top eight Tsukutake. But it was just Ikegami that made the level of the entire Lingnan team rise a little, and even in Kanagawa, there is a possibility of winning the championship, which is the role of the top core.
However, the current Lingnan team is obviously in a predicament, due to the disadvantage of the two positions of center and small forward, the scoring success rate of the Hainan team has increased significantly, so that the score difference will become wider and wider.
Similarly, the current Ikegami has only been a few months since he crossed over, and he has not completely fused the technology of his previous life with this body, and his strength has not been fully exerted. It is because without opening the dynamic field of vision, it is not much stronger than Mu Shen Yi, and it is because Mu Shen Yi can use his similar physical fitness to limit him a little and reduce his success rate.
In addition to Ikegami, Yusaku Ozawa, another offensive core of the Lingnan team, was still able to score in the face of Hainan's defensive leader Ishida Yuyu, but it was obviously more difficult to score than in the previous game.
In fact, Yusaku Ozawa's biggest problem is that he doesn't have good physical fitness, otherwise with the passing accuracy of the pool, as long as Yusaku Ozawa runs out of the vacant position, Yusaku Ozawa will be able to easily get the opportunity to open the spot. It's a pity that Silicon Ishida's speed is significantly faster than Yusaku Ozawa, and since the beginning of the game, he has followed step by step, and Yusaku Ozawa's scores are all obtained from positional battles.
Just when the game situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to Lingnan, on the bench of the Lingnan team, Yuzhu ripped off the towel on his head and came to Coach Tiangang, bowing sincerely with a sincere face.
"Coach, please let me play!"
