Chapter 327: Jealousy
Before the start of the season, the Kobe Jaguar team was considered to be a team with the ability to compete for the championship. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although their ace goalscorer, Mitsui Shou, unfortunately retired due to injury, however, as Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi slowly mature and slowly rise, if Akagi Goken can stay healthy, the Jaguars are still a very strong team.
However, after the Takayama boss insisted on trading Sakuragi Hanamichi away, Fuzheng Rukawa Kaede became the leader of the team,
The Jaguar team seems to have changed a lot.
Although the team ushered in practical foreign aid Swift, Akagi and others were still more emotional about the trade-in of his long-time comrade-in-arms Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Or maybe this sentiment is carried over to the playoffs later, maybe this trade is a loss for the Jaguar team, in any case, the appearance of the Jaguar team being brutalized by the ninja team in the first playoff game is real.
After the heavy defeat to the ninjas, Coach Oki and Akagi attended the post-match press conference.
A low mood filled the two of their answers.
Such a fiasco is definitely not what the players and coaches want.
They know that the gap between the team and the opponent is not as big as the game suggests.
After the press conference, Oki and Akagi hurriedly left the conference room, wondering if they would be able to happily answer questions and leave the conference room with a smile at the post-match press conference for the second game five days later.
However, it seems that this hope is not very good.
After the start of the second battle, although this side made a key mark on Takano, however, the killer feature of the ninja team, the three-point rain, came~!!
"Yay~!!"
"Yay~!!"
"Yay~!!!!"
It was the familiar shout again, and Team Jaguar was once again lost in the orange sea of the JAL Center.
The ninjas' three-pointers stabbed Oki like a sharp sword.
"Eh~~~"
Coach Oki looked up at the big screen above the arena, looked at the score, and let out a long sigh.
Unexpectedly, the scene that was out of control five days ago appeared again.
The ninja team scored 15 three-pointers in the half, 3 for Ishii Nobue, 4 for Takeuchi Rihei, 2 for Tamaki Kochi, 5 for the bench, and Takano Thunder all had a three-pointer.
Half time, 67:48.
The Ninja Team is again leading by a big score.
However, the Jaguars played well in the first half, with the Ninjas hitting 15 three-pointers to lead by just 19 points, a testament to the Jaguars' improvement in protecting the basket.
If the Ninjas' outside shooting percentage drops in the second half, the Jaguars still have a chance.
After all, the outside shot is not very accurate.
"As long as we continue to defend like this, all we need to do is wait, as long as we wait until the opponent's hit rate drops, our chance will come, the ninja team is not invincible, everyone must stick to the belief and don't give up~!!"
Coach Ohki is also motivating everyone on the bench.
0:2 and 1:1 are simply two worlds.
After the start of the second half, the players did continue to defend in the first half, as Oki said, waiting for the moment when the ninja team's shooting rate dropped.
However, the cruel thing is that this moment has not appeared.
The Ninja did have a drop in their shooting percentage in the second half, but it was embarrassing to drop to a normal level.
The ninjas have maintained their offensive firepower, and the difference in points has remained at 16 and 17 points.
Although Kaede Rukawa scored a game-high 36 points, and although Takano was limited to just 17 points, the game was five.
The ninja team still won the second game with more blossoming and 22 three-pointers.
The aggregate score was 2:0.
The Jaguar team is already very dangerous, if we can find some good news.
That's when Team Jaguar has adapted to the frenzied firepower of the ninja team.
If the Jaguar team, who return to the pump center in the next game, can regain their form, they may be able to fight.
The Osaka Iron Horse, another team involved in the big trade, has a bumpy journey to the playoffs at present.
Facing the Tokyo Great White Shark may be God's reward for the second-place result of the Iron Horse team.
Because in people's impressions, great white sharks don't seem to be a strong team.
It's not a playoff-caliber team, but since it's already in the playoffs, you can't take it lightly.
In recent years, with the gradual maturity of Kitajima Massashi and Yamashiro Tsuyoshi, the joining of Hikoichi Aida, and the increasing feeling of the team's boss, the strength of the team is still considerable.
Although it is far from meeting the all-star luxury lineup expected by management, the team's competitiveness is really strong.
In the first match between the two sides, under the amazing performance of 40 points by Miura, the great white shark bit the iron horse to death in the sea.
However, in the second game, the Iron Horse team eased up, and the new signings were also Osaka natives, Takugawa Fujiwara and Konobu Memoku, both performed well.
In the end, the Iron Horse team pulled one back.
The two sides fought to a 1:1 draw.
It seems that the competition between the two sides is not as disparity as the rankings at all.
Jaws has Miura's 40-point savior, and the Waves also have it, and in the second game with Team Radiance, the Waves foreign aid Simmons completely broke out, scoring 48 points in the game.
No matter who the Radiants defend, how they defend, and how they defend, Simmons is all out of the question.
It's as if the Russian league scoring champion is back.
The two consecutive away wins may have been unthinkable before the start of the Waves series, and back in Fukuyama, they have already stepped into the semi-finals with one foot.
The Jaguar team, who have won two in a row, have returned to Fukuyama and are preparing for the third game at the team's base.
Everyone seemed to be very motivated, and in the training hall, there was a five-on-five full-court confrontation.
"Brush~!!"
As he spoke, Slyer received a pass from Fujima and hit a three-pointer from the outside.
"Hey~!!Fuji Zhen, don't always pass on him, I have a chance here~!!"
Sakuragi said softly as he ran to Fujima's side while defending himself.
Maybe it's an intra-team training match, and there isn't much pressure, Sakuragi wants to show off his offensive ability.
"Haha, no problem~!!"
Fujima replied with a smile on his face.
The team is in good shape at this stage, and has won the match point again, as the star of the team, Fujima is certainly in a good mood.
Coach Moriyama arranged the new trident in a team, and the purpose was already very obvious.
No matter how eye-catching Simmons' performance is, the new trident may be the lifeblood of the team.
Fujima dribbled to the front again, and this time Fujima really noticed Sakuragi's position.
"Come on~!!"
Sakuragi is firmly stuck in position and wants to catch the ball.
Seeing this, Fujima directly passed the ball with a hanging pass.
"What~!!"
Just as Sakuragi was about to catch the ball, a player wearing the same vest as Sakuragi, who had dark skin and some curly hair, took the lead in intercepting the ball.
"Brush~!!"
Slyer, who snatched the ball, directly took advantage of the natural barrier of Sakuragi's position and hit again from a mid-range shot.
"What are you doing with this guy~!??"
Sakuragi said angrily to Slyle.
"Hmph, you've grabbed so many rebounds, it's time for me to perform~!!"
Slyer also has his own opinions.
"Don't blame me, ball, I passed~~"
Fujima said innocently on the side. (To be continued.) )
