Chapter 209: Finals
The next day, the Central Gymnasium!
Today is the day of the annual high school national competition finals, and before the start of the competition, a large number of people poured in from all over the world, and the frenetic atmosphere in the gymnasium can be imagined.
Although the affiliated university of Hakata Business is one of the big favorites all year round, due to the emphasis on team basketball, more audiences support Lingnan University, which has reached the finals for the first time, and the scene can be said to be quite abrupt.
It's just that even so, the Hakata players, who have long been accustomed to this kind of scene, have no other reaction except for a little instinctive resentment, which may have been caused by numbness all year round.
During the warm-up, the difference between the demeanors of the players on both sides can be described as huge, and the warm-up of the Hakata players is quite normal, either passing or shooting to adapt to the feel. Ke Lingnan is obviously different, the overall feeling is like sleepwalking, the sound of iron is unbearable to witness, and some players even threw three non-sticks during the period.
Everyone knows a truth, anyone who has undergone an unusually intense exercise yesterday, even if it is a perennial exercise, will have some discomfort and weakness in the body after a night, but more soreness and numbness. And for basketball players, in addition to the decline in athleticism, it will also make the hand feel cold.
After a night's rest, Lingnan's starters have more or less appeared in such a situation, among which the serious one is undoubtedly the Sunshine Boy Xiandao, who can play fifty percent of his normal state with one body, which is considered good;
With Lingnan's current state, Ikegami and Coach Taoka expressed concern, not to say that they are facing Hakata in such a state, but they are afraid that they will be difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat in the face of ordinary national quarterfinals (Fengyu and Changcheng, excluding Aihe Academy and Daiei Academy), and the gap is not small.
If Lingnan is in a normal state, it will naturally not be weaker than Hakata, but once the state is worried, the trend of the game will undoubtedly become extremely critical.
Especially in the face of Hakata's group tactics, it will exacerbate the physical exertion of Lingnan players.
No matter how worried the Lingnan players or coaches were, they couldn't stop the time from passing, and soon after the warm-up, the game began.
Lingnan's lineup is as follows: center Uozumi, power forward Tetsuya Naito, small forward Guan Hei, point guard Ikegami, and point guard Uekusa.
Due to the worrying physical strength and state of Xiandao, even if Xiandao strongly asked to play, Coach Taoka did not agree.
It's a duty for a good basketball coach to coach a player, but it's also a job to avoid a player's physical problems. Once Xiandao is in such a state, the probability of injury is several times higher than that of ordinary games, and it is common sense for Coach Taoka to refuse.
What's more, such an immortal path is not much different from ordinary players.
The jump ball was played by Naito of Lingnan and Nobisuke of Hakata Shodai, both of whom were of similar height and had excellent jumping, but Naito was undoubtedly stronger.
The basketball was thrown high, and as soon as it fell, Naito couldn't wait to jump and shoot the basketball to Uekusa first.
Uecao is an excellent team player, with a skilled point guard, a steady personality, a very low turnover rate, and the development of mid-to-long-range shooting ability, which are all his strengths.
As for the shortcomings, the height of 170 is undoubtedly at a disadvantage, the physical fitness is ordinary, especially the speed is comparable to that of ordinary point guards, not to mention the comparison with Miyagi and Zebei, it is a few points worse than Chishang and Mushen.
As for Bodo's point guard, all aspects of ability are at least at the middle and upper level, skilled in skills, especially defense and passing, in the end, it is a perennial championship team, Lingnan naturally cannot be compared in terms of heritage.
After half the court, he began to lower his center of gravity to control the ball, and his eyes were scanning around.
In SD, Uecao is characterized by stability, and the low turnover rate is a model of a point guard, but too steady will also not make penetrating and imaginative passes.
Simple ball control, equally simple passing.
The object of the pass was Ikegami, and he didn't catch the basketball, Ikegami's right hand just quickly slapped forward, and the ball fell straight into the hands of the fish that had been placed.
"Amazing penetration, terrifying timing and passing skills, worthy of the recognition of the No. 1 point guard. Even if he gets to college, with his current level, it will be enough to reach the top in the first year!"
In the audience, a middle-aged man with glasses kept looking at Ikegami, his eyes full of appreciation, but when he touched his chin to make an evaluation, his face was full of distress.
He is Kazuo Karasawa, the coach of Fukasawa Sports University, and next to him is a big man who also wears glasses and is also the main center of Fukasawa Sports University - Shota Sugiyama!
Shota Sugiyama is currently the university's No. 1 center and recently became a member of the Japanese national basketball team. Once in high school, he single-handedly brought the basketball team to the national quarterfinals, and the sensation was no worse than that of Ikegami who led Lingnan to the semifinals last year.
"Then bring him in, Coach!" said Shota Sugiyama, lifting the glasses on the bridge of his nose, but he just glanced at Ikegami, and then fixed his eyes on Nobisuke, Uozumi, and Tetsuya Naito, who prefer to observe players in the same position for an inside player.
"It's easy for you to say, you didn't see it just now, and those old guys are here too. Our Fukasawa University of Physical Education is indeed excellent, and we even won the championship this year, but our tradition has always focused on the inside line, and I am afraid that he is not as attractive as several other universities!"
Kazuo Tang Ze shook his head in distress, he has been paying attention to the cultivation of the inside line for so many years, but now that there is an extremely good outside player like Chishang, he can't afford not to pay attention to it.
As a well-known coach in the university, Kazuo Tang Ze can judge the specific strength of Chishang very objectively, especially in yesterday's Lingnan vs. Mountain King match, which is quite amazing, and the proud data of the four pairs all show the amazing strength and potential of Chishang.
Not to mention the potential for the future, just the level that Ikegami showed yesterday, Kazuo Karasawa feels that the current Ikegami is at least one of the best in the university.
"Coach, isn't there another year?
"One year? Do you think those old guys won't take some measures, I'm afraid they can't wait, with his current strength, he can't use good seedlings to describe it!"
Kazuo Tang Ze raised the corners of his mouth to the side, and his eyes fluttered on several positions not far away, all of which were sitting basketball coaches of the strong college teams, all watching the game without blinking at this time, to be precise, they had been watching Chishang.
