Chapter 199: Response Tactics
At the end of the first half, players from both sides returned to the bench to use the half-time break to rest and rearrange their tactics, and everyone knew it was a game that could not be lost.
As long as they can win against their opponents, then the winning side will be the favorites to win the championship.
The coaches of both sides began to arrange tactics, and the coach of the Mountain King's Domoto still used the full-court pressing tactics, which is also the most powerful and skilled tactics of the Mountain King, after so many years, as long as the full-court pressing tactics are used, at least they will have the upper hand, and most of the time the opponent is directly facing the collapse.
Lingnan's Coach Taoka's on-the-spot tactical level can only be regarded as average, and the arrangement and use of tactics are far inferior to Coach Anzai and Gaotou. However, Coach Taoka is a very persistent guy, and since last year, when Ikegami was alone in the face of the mountain king's full-court pressing, he has spent the year preparing corresponding response tactics, which can be regarded as a rainy day.
It's no secret that full-court press defence aims to create turnovers by pressing, harassing the opposition's offense, and creating easy scoring opportunities for themselves. The five people present not only need to be skillful in cooperating, but also need good defensive skills, and the starting of the Mountain King has always met these two conditions.
Dealing with a full-court pressing defense requires a few necessary prerequisites. The first is that you need to stay calm and try to calm down when the opponent tries to disrupt you, so that you can make a reasonable arrangement. Otherwise, they'll cut off more balls from you, and mistakes will snowball. Coaches should also remain calm, a manic, thunderous coach is not what players in a panic need.
Second, full-court pressing defense is a gambling tactic in defense, and on the bright side, if you break down a tight defense, you will have more opportunities to score easy layups. So when there's a tight defense, you have to be firm in your offensive belief! Thinking that this is what you're going to beat, thinking that you can get an easy chance to score, and you can make a 2-on-1 chance to score a layup by passing the ball quickly, which is also the best way to crack it.
Of course, there is another crack, that is, to break the defensive pressure by dribbling, but in this case, there are relatively few opportunities to go to the basket easily, Lingnan used this way of dealing last year, using Ikegami's extremely skilled ball protection, ball control and personal ability to achieve the goal.
The first way to deal with it is easy to say, but it is not easy to do, as long as it is in the details, otherwise Sanno Industries will not always use the full-court pressing tactics as a killer feature.
After receiving the serve, the receiver must hold on to the basketball to maintain the posture of advancing and retreating, and to see the situation on the court when starting to dribble the first ball, which requires a player who is extremely accurate in passing and has a strong enough ability to grasp opportunities, and this kind of player is afraid that there are only three players in this national competition, and it is also a necessary premise that Ikegami, Fujima and Fukatsu can meet the requirements.
Again, it is best not to dribble until forced to avoid the opponent taking the opportunity to quickly wrap up the interference, but to break the tight press with a quick, sharp pass and very few dribbles. When receiving an incoming pass, it's best to play the ball quickly before the defence becomes in shape.
Of course, the serving player should also make sure to pass high-quality serves, and don't rush to serve under their own basket, sometimes your passing path will be blocked by the basketball hoop. If it's a serve after the opponent has scored, you can move around the baseline.
These are some of the details and necessities of the most basic pressing press, and you should also pay attention to the opponent's various traps when breaking the press, once you fall into the opponent's trap zone, you may lose the ball.
Lingnan meets the two players of passing and serving, these two players are Ikegami and Yuzumi, the two not only have experience in fighting against defensive pressing, but also have their own advantages, that is, Ikegami's passing accuracy and Yuzumi's height.
This year's Yuzhu is already 202 centimeters, which is five centimeters higher than the tallest center of the mountain king, and these five centimeters are enough to greatly improve the degree of anti-interference when serving and maintain a wide field of vision.
Soon, the halftime was over and the second half finally began.
The spectators in the stadium also seemed to know the importance of this time slot, cheering for their favorite teams and players, and their voices were significantly higher than before, as if they were about to tear down the roof.
Lingnan's ball possession, the fish lives on the baseline serve.
At the bottom line, Yuzhu held the ball with both hands, his eyes did not blink, and he tried his best to ignore the interference of the center of the mountain king.
Ikegami picks up his speed and gets a short gap through his teammates' cross-covers.
It was also at this time that Uozi immediately passed the ball to Ikegami.
Usumi may have an average passing level, but because he is very familiar with Ikegami, he can pass the ball at the right time.
As soon as his hands caught the basketball, Zebei, who was the fastest in the mountain, had already run in front of him, and the distance between the two was very close, Zebei waved his hands and pressed hard, pressing hard, trying his best to interfere with Chishang, and at the same time creating conditions and time for his teammates.
Riokawada, who was not far away, immediately threw down Naito, and his huge size quickly rushed towards Ikegami.
If it is an average top player, it will undoubtedly take a lot of time to get rid of this kind of dense defense, but this time is enough for the other players of the Mountain King to react, and then there are various help defenses and packs.
So, in this case, whether it's a pass or a breakthrough, it's necessary to grasp the essence - fast!
Zebei's defense is undoubtedly top-notch, and even Ikegami is not too sure that he can break through smoothly in front of the opposing player's pack, so he chose to pass.
And the timing was to wait for Masashi Kawada to form a pack, and a ground-hitting pass to Naito, who was temporarily vacant.
And immediately after the pass, Ikegami started in the direction of Naito.
Although Naito's physical fitness is extremely outstanding, due to the short time he has been in contact with basketball, he does not have enough experience and coping methods, and it is easy to make mistakes under the tight defense of the mountain king.
Not only did Ikegami think of this, but Coach Domoto of Sanno Industries also took this into account, and the reason why Naito was vacated was that in the case of pressing defense, the biggest hole in Lingnan was none other than Naito Tetsuya.
Ikegami, Uozumi and Inoue Toyosu all have experience in facing the pressure of the Mountain King, and although Sendo is also a first-year, he has excellent ball protection skills and is not easy to break the ball. As a result, Naito, who had only been in contact with basketball for only one year, met the eyelids of Coach Domoto.
Therefore, when Naito received the basketball share, the Sanno player immediately took action, and Fukatsu, who was closest to Naito, immediately activated, reached out to implement a gambling steal, forced Naito to be anxious through fierce defense, and prompted his teammates on the other side to successfully steal the basketball.
