Chapter 325: Another Year of Defeat (Part II)
The Fukuyama Flying Waves team took the lead in the first game of the series against Team Korn, thanks to their excellent teamwork and top-notch individual ability. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
They led 1-0 on aggregate and regained home advantage.
The fact that the Waves were able to create such good chemistry in such a short period of time is not only due to head coach Moriyama.
There is also the share of the general manager Ehara.
Because these players he traded have completed a seamless connection with the team.
And the team that traded with the Fukuyama Waves was not so lucky.
For example, the Jaguar team.
The first game of the series against the old enemy ninja has begun.
The Jaguar team, which lost Sakuragi Hanamichi, was slaughtered by the ninja team for 76 points in the half, and what is even more ironic is that the best performance on the ninja team's side is Takano Thunder.
Without Sakuragi Hanamichi's defense, Takano is like a beast that has broken free from its cage.
Crazy biting, venting.
The 28-point difference is not an unattainable point difference for the Jaguar team with half a quarter of the game, but as a lagging side, the most important thing is defense.
You score a goal, I score a goal, it doesn't make sense.
The second half of the game is about to begin.
The first is the Jaguar team's offense.
In fact, the Jaguar team's offense in the first half was at the level of normal play, and if Rukawa Kaede's shooting rate could be improved a little more, he might get more points.
While speaking, Miyagi still gave the ball to Rukawa Kaede, who asked for the ball in the card position, "according to the deployment".
Rukawa Kaede holds the ball and prepares to hit Takenei Rihei with his back.
Height, weight, and technique, Rukawa Kaede completely overwhelmed Rihei Takeuchi.
However, the ninja team's way to restrict Rukawa Kaede is to wrap up.
As he spoke, scoring guard Tamaki Kochi came to Rukawa Kaede's flank and prepared to wrap up.
Although Tamaki's physical condition is thinner, his height is lower, and his confrontation is worse than that of Takeuchi Rihei, if Tamaki is here to interfere with Rukawa Kaede's dribbling, then these disadvantages will instantly turn into advantages.
Seeing this, Rukawa Kaede immediately put away the ball.
If you carry it any further, you will definitely be broken by the jade wood that is lower than your own center of gravity.
Because in the first half, there have been three such situations.
Rukawa Kaede had no choice but to return the ball to Miyagi's hands again.
Because of the change of defense, Ishii, who originally defended Miyagi, went to defend the Jaguars' only real pitcher on the outside: Nishiyama moved.
So Miyagi, who was standing near the three-point line at the top arc, was in a state of complete defense.
Miyagi is very resolute outside three-point shot~~~
When the score is behind, the three-point shot is definitely a weapon to chase points.
"Bell~!!"
However, if you can't shoot, you can only blame yourself for not having good kung fu, and it was an empty three-point shot, and Miyagi wasted a rare opportunity.
And when it comes to the scramble for rebounds, the ninjas are also very tactical.
The team's foreign center Ojed only needs to be responsible for withstanding Akagi, and he doesn't care about the landing point of the rebound at all, as long as he doesn't let Akagi participate in the rebounding scramble, it will be successful.
And the task of scrambling for rebounds, of course, is Takano's.
"Smack~!!"
Takano grabbed the ball in the air with a very domineering stance, and Swift was completely inferior in the matchup between the two.
Don't look at it as a foreign aid, it's okay to deal with a big forward of the average level of the league, and a top interior line like Takano seems to be more difficult.
This may be the reason why the Waves are willing to send him away.
Sometimes, "foreign aid" is just a glamorous appearance, practical or impractical, and you have to try it to know.
This is what "gold and jade are outside, and there is defeat in them".
Takano grabbed the rebound and immediately gave it to Ishii, and the rhythm of the ninja team's favorite offensive and defensive transition to counterattack is finally here again~!!
Ishii observes the movement of his teammates and the enemy, and quickly moves to the front court.
Just after half-time, he passed the ball diagonally to Rihei Takene.
Looking at the entire league, only Ishii can push at full speed and take care of the running positions of his teammates, you know, most good opportunities are fleeting.
After Takeuchi received the ball, he happened to be at the three-point line, and this feeling was Takeuchi's favorite.
And Rukawa Kaede, who was defending himself, was still desperately chasing back, Takeuchi did not hesitate, and directly chased his three-point shot~~
"Brush~!!"
Chase down a three-point shot.
The score difference has come to 31 points~~~
Is the Jaguar team really going down like this~~??
The second half of the game has just begun, but there seems to be no change from the first.
Coach Da Mu looked at the situation on the field with a blue face, as a player and coach, Da Mu has also been on the battlefield for a long time, but the current situation may be something he has never encountered.
Judging from the state of Miyagi and the others, it seems that they have no intention of fighting.
Here, Rukawa Kaede still wanted to fight again, and came to the front court alone with the ball, facing Takeuchi, ready to launch an offensive.
Akagi wanted to be in the inner line, but when he saw Rukawa Kaede's posture, he decisively left the inner line.
So far in the game, Akagi has only shot 6 times and hit 3 goals, which is really pitiful for a top center in the league.
As Rukawa Kaede's status in the team gradually rises, many of the tactics that used to revolve around Akagi have mostly been abandoned.
Rukawa Kaede defends against the defense and uses his physical advantage to forcibly eat Takeuchi.
But Takeuchi is not so easy to deal with.
Jamming Rukawa Kaede's lower plate keeps him away from the basket.
Rukawa Kaede came to a position close to the reasonable collision zone, and directly rose from the ground.
If Rukawa Kaede jumps up enough, then Takeuchi really has nothing to do.
"Brush~!!"
After jumping, Rukawa Kaede directly scored the ball with a one-handed small throw.
"It's really too difficult, Rukawa Kaede's personal ability is really strong, this really has to be admitted, but, what about defense~~~??"
The commentary is also after sighing, throwing the question to the Jaguar team.
Again, one ball for you and one ball for me doesn't mean anything.
"Brush~!!"
However, the Jaguars' defense is as useless as it has been since the opening.
The ninja team attacked here, and it was a very simple block and dismantling of Ishii and Takano, and then the latter pulled back, and Ishii Ye Shunsi passed it.
Takano hit a jump shot straight into the high post.
"Smack~~~"
"Keep passing more~!!"
After Gao Ye and Ishii high-fived each other, Gao Ye said excitedly.
"No problem~!!"
Ishii also smiled confidently.
If this continues to be fought, the Jaguar team may be wiped out.
Rukawa Kaede's face also began to have an impatient expression, because of the pressure from all sides, Rukawa Kaede's position in the current Jaguar team is quite sensitive, and over the years, the media in Kobe have been saying that Rukawa Kaede replaces Xiandao, and Rukawa Kaede is stronger than Xiandao, so Rukawa Kaede himself is always secretly competing with himself, "I must surpass Xiandao~!!"
Such a goal may have been set when Rukawa Kaede was a freshman in high school.
However, Xiandao has led the team to establish a dynasty and went to the NBA, the "temple of basketball", and Rukawa Kaede has not been able to help the team through the first round of the playoffs.
That's a big gap.
The third quarter ended, 106:78.
The two sides were tied in the third quarter.
However, with a huge 28-point margin into the fourth quarter, and still on the road, the Jaguars' hopes are still very slim. (To be continued.) )
