Chapter 660: The Top Four (Part I)
Akagi's basketball career has been smooth sailing so far, but the dream of "dominating the country" has not been realized, which still makes Akagi feel that he has not fulfilled many of his wishes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In order to fulfill this most important wish, Akagi made the most difficult decision last summer, which was to leave the Kobe Jaguar team and join the Kagoshima Antlers, who have a better chance of winning the championship.
came to the side of Amu and others.
However, due to injury, Akagi did not start the first game for the Antlers until the first round of the playoffs.
Akagi began his journey to "dominate the country".
After the start of the first game with Lavender, Akagi first made an inside cooperation with Amu, and the former was a violent frame.
After that, Lavender attacked, and Zhongyuan Qujiang forced his way into the interior with the help of blocking and dismantling, but in the end, Zhongyuan's high-wipe board shot was strangled by Akagi in the "cradle", and a loud block was sent out.
Maybe in the series a few years ago, Nakahara's layup shooting rate was quite high, but now it's different, now with Akagi, the interior defensive iron gate,
Maybe Akagi's offense is not so important in the Antlers because of injuries and tactical status, but on the defensive end, Akagi is definitely the league's elite level frame protector, which is better than the previous center Kuboto, after all, Akagi is younger.
"Beautiful~!!"
"Hey~!!!"
Qingtian, Amu and others rushed over and patted Akagi and encouraged them.
I believe that as Akagi makes more contributions to the team, he will return to his previous form sooner.
"Bell~!!"
Here, Lavender small forward Masao Kitajima missed his outside shot, and Akagi collected another rebound.
Judging from the first round, Akagi did take the initiative and occupy the advantage ~~ in the confrontation with Miyake Ginger
The Antlers attacked here, and Kiyota took the ball to Akagi who asked for the ball on the inside again.
"Akagi hit on his back, Miyake seemed a little weak and struggling, Akagi used his physical advantage to carry into the inner line~!!"
The narrator 1510 explains the details of Akagi's attack.
"Brush~!!"
After a series of delicate steps, Akagi directly hit a shot: hook hand shot~!!
After the opening, the 4 points of the Antlers were all scored by Akagi, which shows that the tactical policy of the Antlers team is: let Akagi find the feeling of attacking first, and find the feeling of being on the court~!!
"Papapa~!!! Akagi~!!Okay~!!"
Coach Yoshioka also stood up in a rare way and applauded Akagi.
Yoshioka, who used to have a blue face, really struggled to see a player encouraging on the sidelines, it's really rare.
In the following game, the Antlers were completely in control of the game, although Akagi's playing time was limited to only 20 minutes, but in just 20 minutes, Akagi scored 16 points and 11 rebounds double-double. It's very efficient.
Coupled with God's five three-pointers, the Antlers easily defeated Lavender in their first game. Took the first win of the series and took the first home victory.
Looking at this situation, it seems that the Antlers will not have the previous "Black Eight Tragedy" again.
Judging from the way Amu and the others talked and laughed with Akagi after the game, it seemed that Akagi had fully integrated into the Antlers team.
In the second game after that, the Antlers were still very sharp in controlling the game on the field, and the Lavender team's side, whether it was Nakahara Qujiang or Kitajima Yisheng, had no way to break the iron bucket formation of the Antlers, don't forget, in addition to the "defending champions", they were the best defensive team in the league, plus Akagi's icing on the cake, the Antlers' defense from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position reached a historic level.
Especially in the second quarter of the game, the Antlers only scored 7 points against Lavender.
Although Akagi only scored 9 points in the second game, he grabbed 16 rebounds, and finally the Antlers defeated Lavender 98-71. The aggregate score was 2:0 ahead, won the match point, and stepped into the semifinals with half a foot.
After moving to Hokkaido, the Antlers still did not give Lavender any chance, Amu's 41 points once again let the Antlers win, and finally the Antlers finished Lavender 3:0, avenging the revenge of the "Black Eight Tragedy" that year, and successfully advanced to the next round, one step closer to defending the title.
Akagi is also one step closer to his own "domination of the whole country".
The other set of matchups in the second half of the zone, the battle between the Sendai Rover and the Tokyo Great White Shark in the master-apprentice battle, also ended, and the two sides did not play the fifth game, and the battle ended in the fourth game at the Starry Sky Arena.
Listening to the silence of the Starry Sky Arena, I thought there was no game here, but in fact, after the game, the fans lined up and left their seats quietly.
"Oh~!!"
"Oh~!!"
In stark contrast to the Starry Sky Arena, the Jaws players are excited, because, they, have been promoted~~
Let's start with a recap of the second game between the two sides.
After the transition of the first game, Xiandao ushered in an explosion in the second game, scoring 29 points in the first half, and the rover once led by more than double digits in the second half, but Miura's sudden outburst and some controversial decisions from the referee made the game gradually full of suspense, and in the final stage, the original armor wolf's continuous walk to the free throw line allowed the Great White Shark to stabilize the situation.
Xiandao's 53 points were over, and the rover was reversed by Jaws, although the team surrounded the referee after the game to "ask for an explanation", but the game was over, and the fact that the rover lost two games in a row could not be changed.
Xiandao shook his head as he left the Dome Gymnasium, and Xiandao knew the difference between 0:2 and 1:1.
Because no team in history has ever had a 0:2 comeback, the Rover is already on the edge of a cliff.
Despite the "help of the referee", Jaws' tenacity and willpower are truly admirable, they have never lost their desire to survive the game, and they are now only one game away from defeating the Rover.
In the third game of the Starry Sky Arena, the Rover finally regained the feeling of the "dynasty team" of the year, and several outside players of the Rover, such as Yohei Mito and Nakasawa Nagaken, finally found the long-lost touch, and the Rover blossomed more and won the third game, retaining the suspense of the series.
Because of Sendo, Sendai fans believe that the Rover has a chance to win the series, and they often look up at the championship flag over the Starry Sky Arena and imagine the miracles that have been created.
"This is our biggest game of the season, let's not give the opponent any more chance~!! let the series end in this game, on this night~!!!!"
Before the fourth game, in the locker room of the Great White Sharks, the players gathered together, raised their fists in the air, and Nakaliwan gave a passionate speech.
Although they still have a home stadium, they don't seem to want to go back~~
"Xiandao Zhang, tonight, I must defeat you~!!"
The original armor wolf held the ball, looked at the immortal path defending him, and secretly made up his mind.
