Chapter Ninety-Nine: Scoring Patterns
Every player's form is always up and down, it depends on their form, mentality and opponents, and even a strong top player can't guarantee that he will be at his best all the time.
Since this is the place to decide the national semi-finals, Lingnan's starters will have more or less some gains and losses, resulting in problems in form, and it is conceivable that they feel cold, which can be seen from the fact that Chishang only got five assists in the first half.
For the average point guard, five assists in the first half is pretty good. But for Chisue, it is obvious that there is a problem, and the problem is not with him, but with his teammates.
On the Lingnan bench, Shigeru Taoka put his hands on his shoulders and looked serious, scanning the five starters, and finally focusing his eyes on Ikegami.
After so many games, Shigeichi Taoka's trust in Ikegami has reached an overwhelming level, and he is his best disciple in years.
"In the second half, it's up to Ikegami to attack! But you also have to share a little bit of pressure and try to shoot in the most comfortable places. If it doesn't work, just break into the interior and make the opponent foul, and the other is to focus more on defense, do you understand?"
As the so-called bystander Qing, Shigeichi Kooka knows in his heart that except for Ikegami, the other four starters have not yet recovered. Although his on-the-spot guidance is not as good as Gaotou and Anxi, he has been coaching for so many years, and he also has his own set.
In view of the team's cold hand, Coach Tagang had no choice but to tilt the team towards defense and reduce the opponent's shooting percentage.
"Yes, Coach!"
Except for Chishang, the rest of the Lingnan players had solemn faces one by one, and they did not have any objection to Coach Tiangang's guidance.
As for Chishang, in addition to his own calm temperament, he also tried to recover the physical strength lost in the first half. He knew very well that in the second half he would have a lot of work to do, not only to continue to sort out the team, but also to strengthen the individual attack and strengthen the co-defense!
Unlike Lingnan's side, perhaps due to the dominant relationship, the coach of Aihe Academy only gave a few words of encouragement and let the players continue the mode of the first half.
At the beginning of the second half, in the jump ball session, Yuzumi and Hirogen Takeshita were almost simultaneously slapping on the basketball, and in a muffled sound, the basketball fell to one side.
As soon as Junichiro Komatsu saw the basketball flying towards him, he stretched out his hands and wanted to catch the basketball.
It's just that Sasaki Oribe rushed from the side, flew to intercept the basketball, and after passing the basketball to Ikegami in mid-air, he fell to the floor.
Ikegami lived up to Sasaki Oribe's flying interception, single-handedly rushed into the opponent's inside line, and used his body to push the stars into the basket.
"Well done, Sasaki!" Yusaku Ozawa pulled Sasaki up and encouraged him.
Sasaki Oribe nodded, but didn't say anything, his body and mind were already focused on the game.
Love and offense, under the strengthening of Ozawa Yusaku's defense, Junichiro Komatsu was unable to break through, and he saw that time was about to shine without the ability to shoot, so he could only reluctantly hoist the ball to the inside.
Almost at the same time, Ikegami, who had already turned on his dynamic vision, rushed from one side and made a successful steal.
"Hurry back to defense!" As soon as he saw Chishang get the basketball, Zhu Xingda, who had suffered a loss, hurriedly shouted to defend himself, he didn't want to be forced to be eaten by Chishang with his body again.
The players of Aiwa Academy were very fast, and Ikegami saw that he had no chance, so he had to continue to play positional battles.
Just after halfway with the ball, Ikegami made a cross and passed the ball to Yusaku Ozawa, while he himself rushed inside.
Zhuxing didn't dare to let go of Ikegami, and immediately followed closely behind.
The speed of the stars is faster than that of Ikegami, and it stands to reason that they can keep up with Ikesami's footsteps, but when Ikegami turns on his dynamic vision, he runs into the crowd.
Taking advantage of Yuzumi's huge body, Ikegami threw off the two positions of Zhuxing, and Yusaku Ozawa, who was holding the ball, hurriedly passed the ball to Ikegami's hand.
Without waiting for the stars to arrive, Chishang turned around and jumped, slightly stuck in the air, and threw the basketball.
Zhu Xingda tried his best to jump, but Ikegami shot too fast, and by the time he jumped, Ikegami had already thrown a basketball.
Chi didn't even look at the basketball thrown, and after the throw, he turned back to defend with a confident look on his face.
Brush!
Looking at Chishang's actions and the sound of the basketball entering the net, Zhu Xingda had a wry smile on his face, and he unconsciously felt a little more frustrated in his heart, he felt that Chishang in the second half was like a sword out of the sheath, radiating a sharp cold light.
"Damn, this guy definitely didn't use his full strength in the first half, and he was actually underestimated. ”
Zhu Xingda was annoyed in his heart, but he had to admit that even Ikegami in the first half was better than him. Especially in the role of the team, it is not something he can compare.
In the stands, Xiandao, who had a lazy face, was obviously much more solemn, his eyes stared at Chishang, and then smiled.
"He might be able to defeat Zebei!"
As for the Akagi trio in the stands, they looked not surprised, they had watched several games of the Lingnan team, and they had long decided that Ikegami in the second half was obviously sharper than in the first half.
"It would be nice if this guy was so serious the whole game!" Akagi looked at Ikegami, who was active in the arena, with helplessness in his tone.
"Akagi, you're wrong! If this guy is so good throughout the game, what other team in Kanagawa Prefecture can stop Lingnan!"
Mitsui also had a solemn face, and when he thought about the situation in Kanagawa Prefecture next year, he felt quite bad. According to the team lineup, whether it is Lingnan, Hainan or Xiangyang, Xiangbei seems to have a situation of losing and winning, which makes him feel more powerless in his heart, and there is also a helplessness that will be dragged down by his teammates.
"Anla, An, let's concentrate on watching the game, and we'll talk about it later!"
Seeing the two teammates like this, Mu Du Gongyan had to speak out to calm the atmosphere.
"Mu Du is right, maybe there will be powerful newcomers in Xiangbei next year, and under the guidance of Coach Anxi, maybe there will be some opportunities. ”
Akagi Gangxian had no choice but to say this, but in his heart, it was best to have a player as powerful as Ikegami join the Xiangbei basketball team next year.
"Whew!" Mitsui spread his hands and made a helpless move, he knew in his heart that the Xiangbei basketball team itself was not attractive, and it was entirely dependent on the reputation of Coach Anzai to recruit good players, but it was not easy to say.
As the trio spoke, the game on the field was in full swing, and both teams stepped up defensively, causing the field to start to look ugly. If it weren't for Ikegami's frequent scoring dramas, the audience probably wouldn't have bought it.
In such a situation, the hit rate of the two sides can be imagined, and only Chishang, who has opened the dynamic vision, can still maintain a normal hit rate, and begins to lead Lingnan to slowly gain the upper hand, and the scores of the two sides begin to gradually close.
