Chapter 119: Fierce Battle at the End of the Quarter!!

In the 2008-2009 season, the first round of the JBA League playoffs was in full swing, with four groups facing each other, and Sakuragi's Jaguar team challenged the Nagoya Ninja team in fourth place in the regular season as the fifth place.

In the best-of-five knockout round, the Jaguar team once fell behind 0:2, and after returning to the home court, the Jaguar team made three military kills and pulled one back, but still stood on the edge of the cliff.

The fourth game continued to be played at the home of the Jaguar team, and the game has come to the fourth quarter of the decisive battle, and in the fourth quarter, Sakuragi came up with great power, and after a three-point shot, it was a 2+1 score, and the previous 6-point difference was quickly erased!!

"Toot!! ninja asks for a timeout!!"

Seeing that the score was equalized, the head coach of the ninja team, Minami Moriyo, couldn't sit still, this pause may not have any tactics at all, but the substitutes of the ninja team are indeed a little unable to parry Sakuragi's firepower!!

Sure enough, after the pause, the ninja team replaced Takeuchi Rihei and Takano Thunder, one is to be able to strengthen the firepower of the outside, and the other is to change to Takano to control Sakuragi's firepower!!

There were no substitutions on the Jaguars' side, and it was still Sakuragi and Simmons who were playing with three substitutes. The ninja team attacked, and after Takano came up, the ninja team undoubtedly had to fight Ishii and cooperate with Takano's blocking.

After the two skillfully blocked and dismantled, Ishii did not choose to divide the ball, but went to the inside line, because without Sakuragi's inside line, Ishii should be able to score more confidently!!

"Do you think that kind of guy can stop me??!!"

I saw that when Ishii was about to burst under the basket, Sakuragi arrived from behind.

"Ah~~!!!"

Sakuragi flew up, apparently trying to cover Ishii, but Ishii hadn't made any moves at all at this time!!

Sakuragi's advance estimate seems to be a little too big!!

Ishii wouldn't have made such a rash move, and after carrying it to the basket, he slipped out again!!

"Takeuchi!!Follow Takeuchi!!"

Coach Oki suddenly got up and shouted and gestured, but it seemed to ,,,

But it was too late, and Takeuchi ran out of the empty seat while everyone else's attention was all on Ishii, and he successfully received Ishii's pass!!

Takeuchi's unguarded baseline three-point shot!!

"Brush!!"

Three-point mid-ground !!

"Takeu's fourth three-pointer of the game, three-pointers are 4 of 7 shots, this shooting rate is quite impressive!!And as soon as he came on the court, he has made achievements, Takeuchi has indeed improved again this season!!The Jaguars need to pay more attention!!"

The narration reminds the Jaguar team.

Coach Oki also reacted immediately and greeted Mitsui, it seems that it should be replaced by Mitsui.

The Jaguar team came back to attack, and it was Sakuragi who did the strategy and Simmons' cooperation, and the previous cooperation of the two was to score, this time let's see how it is!!

After Simmons received the ball, he made a tentative step forward, and then after a crotch dribble, his body pulled back again, and after picking up the ball, he made a mid-range jump shot!!

"Bell!!"

The actions before the shot were perfect, but the ball was not scored, Simmons' personal ability is undoubted, but so far, Simmons has been on the court for 32 minutes, and his physical strength will inevitably be exhausted.

And many times in the first half, Simmons has already played a cameo as a center, which shows how stretched the Jaguar team's interior line is!!

Takano controlled the rebound, in terms of physical fitness, it seems that Takano is better than Sakuragi, and the more the game goes on, the faster Sakuragi's physical fitness will decline, it can be seen from this rebound that Sakuragi is stuck in a dead position by Takano!!

Takano passed to Ishii, and when everyone thought that Ishii would steadily dribble through the half-court attack, Ishii suddenly accelerated and killed the frontcourt, which made the Jaguar team members a little dumbfounded, and they didn't know what to do for a while!!

Ishii's speed was so fast that two Jaguar players tried to foul and couldn't catch it!!

"Brush!!"

Ishii made a very beautiful backcourt layup.

"Ishii almost broke through the other four except Sakuragi to score the ball, it's so exciting!!This is the league's top guard!!You will never guess what he is going to do in the next second, he may have been passing the ball the whole game, but on this one, he chose to break through with the ball alone, Ishii is really the league's chief point guard, and he deserves his name!!"

The narrator praised Ishii.

But Coach Oki here is a little angry, Ishii's goal has indeed caused great humiliation to the Jaguar team players!!

Just with the score tied by Sakuragi, it was once again stretched to 5 points by the ninja team!!

"Toot!!Jaguar team asks for timeout!!"

This time, Coach Oki was a little unable to sit still, and the purpose of the suspension requested by Minami Shoudai was similar to the previous one, and Oki should also send the rest of the main forces to the field, at this time there is nothing left to keep, and if it is retained, it may be necessary to say goodbye to the whole season!!

Sure enough!!After the pause came back, Rukawa Kaede, Miyagi and Mitsui all appeared, and the ninja team also sent all the main forces, and there were still 7 minutes and 50 seconds left in the game!!

It's 7 minutes and 50 seconds of the decisive battle!!

Miyagi dribbled, after coming to the front court, it was given to Rukawa Kaede, counting the time at the end of the third quarter, Rukawa Kaede has been off the court for a full 13 minutes, if you stay for a few more minutes, the sweat on Rukawa Kaede is almost dry, Rukawa Kaede may also be the best physical one on the court!!

After receiving the ball, Rukawa Kaede quickly entered the back play state, and Hirano Sky Island, who had defended Rukawa Kaede for three quarters, didn't know what his physical fitness was, anyway, Rukawa Kaede was 8 of 18 shots before, and on Hirano's body, he didn't eat any sweetness!!

Rukawa Kaede used his strong physical strength advantage to destroy Hirano's defense step by step, so that when the time was ripe, Rukawa Kaede turned around cleanly!!

Hirano didn't react at all!!

Rukawa Kaede faced the basket and shot from mid-range!!

"Toot!!Ninja shooting foul!!Two free throws!!"

Hirano's defense was tenacious, and although he was overtaken by Rukawa Kaede, he reacted quickly and hugged Rukawa Kaede from behind. Blocked one of the latter's open shots.

"Brush!!"

"Brush!!"

Rukawa Kaede hit both free throws, 79-82.

Ishii dribbles and the ninjas attack.

"Watch out for their pick-and-roll!!"

Miyagi reminded his teammates behind him while retreating, and he didn't have to guess to know that it must be Ishii's and Takano's blocking and dismantling cooperation!!

Because the Jaguar team abandoned Song Cuntao, Sakuragi played the center on the field, Simmons played the power forward, and the Jaguar team's current lineup on the field can also be said to be "five small"!!

After Ishii and Takano's blocking, Ishii didn't pass the ball again, and rushed forward, but obviously Simmons was not very familiar with the blocking and dismantling cooperation of the two, so he rashly followed Ishii and gave up his defense of Takaya.

Sure enough, Ishii saw that there was a vacancy after Takano retreated, and directly made a hidden pass from the back of his head to Takano.

"Brush!!"

How could Takano waste such a great vacancy, a frontal long-distance two-point shot.

After changing to the starters, the two teams began a tug-of-war, you scored one goal, I scored one goal, you hit the iron, I also hit the iron.

The Jaguars were never able to overtake the score, and the Ninjas were never able to extend their lead.

With one minute left in the game, 96:92, the Jaguar team still had four points behind.

"Huhuhu~~"

Everyone began to gasp on the field, and everyone's physical fitness was almost to the limit in such a high-intensity game, and the last moment was to test the willpower of the players!!

Miyagi dribbled and gave Rukawa Kaede again, and now the most certain one may be Rukawa Kaede.

After Rukawa Kaede got the ball, he was very resolute and entered the state of back-to-back singles again.

Hirano's defense is already very difficult, and there is no help defense, looking at the way Rukawa Kaede dribbles, he should have quickly found the rhythm of shooting.

"Seal him!!"

Minami Moriyo was almost about to rush into the field to remind Hirano, but Hirano couldn't do it anymore, and with Hirano's current physical strength, he could only watch Rukawa Kaede shoot!!

"Brush!!"

Baseline Turnover Jump Shot Hit!!

At 96:94, the Jaguar team is only two points behind, and there are still 38 seconds left in the time, and the Jaguar team has one more chance after the ninja team has a success!!
