Chapter 218: Group Finals

The next day, as the schedule entered the important moment of the group finals, the finals of the two groups were all held in the Central Gymnasium.

The first match was played by Akita Prefecture against Kyoto, and this year's Autumn Country Sports can be said to have come to an end for the Kyoto team, but even so, being able to finish second in the group is the best result in Kyoto over the years, and there is too much luck in it.

Kyoto's strength can only be said to be good, and Luo'an Commercial, which has the strength of the country's top eight, is in charge, but Luo'an Commercial can only be regarded as the bottom of the top eight at best. Therefore, the strength of the Kyoto team is not as good as that of Akita Prefecture, Kanagawa Prefecture, Fukuoka Prefecture, Osaka Prefecture and Aichi Prefecture, and even Shizuoka Prefecture, which has the seat of Tsunekoto High School.

From the beginning to the end of the game, the Kyoto team can be said to have not played even a little wave, and the whole game was completely pressed by the Akita Prefecture team until the end of the game.

Next, it was the turn of the match between Kanagawa and Fukuoka prefectures.

The main force in Fukuoka Prefecture is almost entirely made up of players affiliated with Hakata Shodai, and the coach is also a coach of Hakata. It can be said that Fukuoka Prefecture, like Akita Prefecture, is represented by a strong local team.

Coach Tagang stood at the front of the queue, glanced at the players standing in a row in front of him one by one, and said, "Now I announce the starters of this game, point guard Fujima, point guard Mitsui, and small forward Ikegami!"

When Coach Tian Gang announced that Mitsui had entered the starting lineup, most of the players were a little surprised, and subconsciously set their eyes on Makishiyi, after all, Mitsui took away Maki's starting position.

The gentry shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything, his serious uncle's face and dark complexion made it difficult to see his true thoughts from the surface.

Coach Tian Gang paused, and then announced the ownership of the two inside players.

"Power forward Naito, center Hanagata!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the starting lineup arranged by Coach Tian Gang can be said to have changed a lot, and it also made some players realize that the starting lineup formed by the combination of these five players is not only not worse than before, but also much more athletic.

Such a starter is not only suitable for playing fast break and speeding up the tempo, but also for defense and rebounding protection. Among them, Mitsui's main role is to increase the projection ability of the Kanagawa team, plus Fujima and Ikegami, it can be said that the entire backcourt has three-point ability, forcing Fukuoka Prefecture to give up joint defense and change to one-on-one.

As for Naito, the main role is to try to weaken the offensive efficiency of the opponent's core field Bisuke, and it is all about enhancing the protection of rebounding in the backcourt.

In addition to being faster, a flexible center like Hanagata also has the possibility of avoiding being strangled by Nobisuke, after all, whether it is a strong center like Uosumi, Kazuhiro Ikeda or Akagi, there is still a bit of a gap with Nobisuke, and he will be more or less limited when facing Nobisuke, just like when Akagi faced Okawada in SD. Only Hanaga, which has a larger offensive range and faster footsteps, can avoid this as much as possible.

After yesterday's match with Aichi Prefecture, although Fukuoka Prefecture won the game, its own condition and physical strength did not fully recover, and Coach Taoka's arrangement was completely to speed up the pace and drag the Fukuoka Prefecture team to death.

The jump ball between the two sides was played by Naito and Nobisuke, with Naito taking the lead by a narrow margin to pull the ball into a corner.

The figure flashed, and as soon as Ikegami got the basketball, he immediately handed it to Fuji Zhen, stepped on the floor, and ran quickly towards the opponent's position.

Mitsui on the other side had already started when he got the basketball on the pool and stood outside the three-point line for the first time.

At this time, Mitsui Shou was quite famous for the players in Kanagawa Prefecture, but once he reached the national level, he had no reputation at all, and there was no way, he had not participated in a national competition.

Compared to Mitsui, Ikegami is the complete opposite, especially after winning the MVP, and the players of the Fukuoka Prefecture team can be said to be strict with him, and they dare not slack off.

Although the Fukuoka Prefecture players did not relax against Mitsui, they did not take special defensive measures because they did not know Mitsui's personal characteristics.

So, Mitsui received a pass from Fujima, just glanced at the defender who was one step away from him, and pulled out to shoot.

Brush!

The basketball hollow into the net, the Kanagawa team took the lead, and the entire offensive process took less than five seconds.

Holding three fingers high, Mitsui's eyes were full of confidence.

Switching offense and defense, Fukuoka Prefecture's starting point guard moved slowly and tried his best to slow down the tempo. In terms of the state and physical strength of the Fukuoka Prefecture team, once it is dragged into the rhythm of Kanagawa Prefecture, then the game will not have to be played anymore.

Between three passes and two passes, five Hakata players used extremely tacit cooperation and team spirit to easily tear apart Kanagawa Prefecture's weak defense and score two points.

The five starters of the Kanagawa team all have good defensive skills, but in the end it is only a single defense. Since they came from three teams, although they had been training intensively for a month, they were more than a notch behind them in terms of tacit understanding compared to the team-based Hakata players.

As soon as Fukuoka Prefecture's attack ended, Hanagata immediately served quickly from the baseline and handed the ball to Ikegami, who was close to the center circle, while the other players rushed forward.

The huge fame and ability made Ikegami at this time like an MT, and when he received the basketball, he attracted most of the attention of the Hakata players. There's no way, the shadow of the famous tree, not to mention that Ikegami snatched the national MVP from Yebi's assistant.

Syllable!

Without waiting for the Hakata player to step forward, through a quick ground-hitting pass, the basketball rushed straight into the frontcourt, and it was still Mitsui Shou who had fallen outside the three-point line to catch the ball.

Catching the ball with both hands, Mitsui raised his wrist and made the action of catching the ball and shooting, his actions were extremely realistic, whether it was from his demeanor, eyes or movements, so that the Hakata player in front of him jumped subconsciously, but when he saw that Mitsui in front of him did not jump, he knew that he had been deceived by the other party.

With a bow, Mitsui took advantage of the opportunity to rush in and end the offense with a simple and practical three-step layup with no one to defend.

And when Mitsui finished attacking, Hakata's center was still in the center circle and did not return to his position in time.

Compared to the center, the Hakata center is not slow, but the athleticism is not as good as Naito, Hanagata, etc.

In the next ten minutes, it can be said that neither side can limit the other, the Kanagawa team uses more individual ability to score, because Fujima, Mitsui and Ikegami all have a good three-point level, resulting in Hakata to play a lot less opportunities to play joint defense and assist defense, and Hakata players through team cooperation, tearing apart the Kanagawa team's not strict defense again and again to score.
