Chapter 68: Take Control of the Situation
In the first game after the All-Star Game, the Jaguar team went to the away team to challenge the green python team, as soon as the game began, the green python team was like a rainbow, especially the small forward - Matsunaga 300, the inside and outside shot was scored 8 points in a row, directly stopping the Jaguar team, and then the Jaguar team relied on Akagi's stable play on the inside line to gradually catch up with the score, which can be regarded as getting out of the sluggish state since the opening, and Coach Ohki called Akagi the pillar of the team!
While speaking, the Green Python team attacked, and Matsunaga lost in a heads-up with Rukawa Kaede, and was directly cut off by Rukawa Kaede!
"Oh~~~ Rukawa Kaede directly cut off Matsunaga's ball, which can be regarded as saving some face, Rukawa Kaede is serious!!"
While the commentary was talking, Rukawa Kaede had already brought the ball to the front court, launched a fast attack, and after dribbling to the vicinity of the free throw line, Rukawa Kaede slowed down, and his teammates also followed, Rukawa Kaede observed it, and accelerated to the inside line again!
"Lock up Rukawa Kaede!!"
The head coach of the Green Python team, Tsuchiya, was very anxious and deployed loudly.
I saw that when Rukawa Kaede just burst into the vicinity of the penalty area, he threw the ball near the basket!
"Air Relay!!"
A child in the audience stood up and stared wide-eyed!!
“Duang!!”
I saw Akagi rise into the air, grab the ball in the air with both hands, and slam it into the basket!!
Akagi's power is so great that the basket trembles all the time, as if he feels the power of Akagi!!
"Wow!! gorilla slam dunk !! handsome!!gorilla!!ha!"
It may be that he hasn't seen such a domineering slam dunk from Akagi for a long time, Sakuragi seemed very excited, and slapped Akagi while returning to defense.
"Stupid!!Defend!!"
Akagi couldn't stand Sakuragi's harassment, and instantly turned into a gorilla, and a huge nostril burst into a scorching flame!
Akagi has already scored six points in a row! And one goal is more domineering than one goal!
After the joke, the Green Python attacked again, but this time the Jaguar team was very strong defensively, and it seemed that the team had entered the state!
The Jaguar team saw that there was little time left, and they also chose to wrap Fukatsu, trying to break off the ball, but Fukatsu was still very calm, and before the formation of the bag, a jump pass was given to Abe, who came forward to respond, and Abe saw that Sakuragi and others mentioned that the high position was ready to break fast, and after taking the ball, he chose to break through to the inside!
Facing Akagi's defense, when the time is about to come, Abe has no choice but to try to avoid Akagi's block and throw it away!
"Smack!!"
Abe has tried his best to avoid Akagi's block, but he was still ruthlessly slapped to the rebound by Akagi's big palm!!
The recovered Sakuragi got the rebound, and the Green Python team's offense was again fruitless.
Miyagi dribbled to the front court, Akagi had already stuck his position near the bottom line on the left side of the basket, ready to ask for the ball! Miyagi shrewdly observed this situation, and passed the ball directly to the inside line Akagi's hands, Akagi will fight Uchiyama again!
Akagi still made a few feints first, seeing that Uchiyama still didn't react, Akagi began to dribble, but Akagi's dribble was like a signal! As soon as the ball left his hand, Yagi Ryu ran over and prepared to wrap Akagi! And Yagi Ryu's position just blocked the route that Akagi wanted to turn around, so Akagi was really caught!!
"What!!"
Yagi Ryu had just run to Akagi's side, only to see the ball fly over his head, and the speed of the ball was already hanging a little wind!
"Good pass!!Gorilla!!"
Akagi's ball passed to Sakuragi's hand standing under the basket, and Yagi Ryu, who was defending Sakuragi, had already gone to cover Akagi, and Sakuragi completed a two-handed dunk under the basket!!
"This Akagi Gangxian, I didn't expect not only to have the singles skills of the inside, but also to respond, it seems that it doesn't work well to take a bag for him!!! Sure enough, he is the starting center of the All-Star Game, and he is so young, he really has a bright future!!
It seems that for Akagi's point, the head coach of the green python, Tsuchiya, is also a little impressed!
With Sakuragi's hands violently buckled, the Jaguar team also fought back with a wave of 8:0 offensive, tied 8:8, and the two sides returned to the same running line.
"Toot!!The Green Python team asks for a timeout!!"
Although Coach Tsuchiya has some options for Akagi, he still has to rearrange his tactics and not let the Jaguar team play a bigger attack wave. In the first quarter of the game, you must at least bite the score!
After the pause, there were no personnel changes on both sides, and we will see what changes the Green Python team has in terms of tactics.
Or Fukatsu dribble, to Matsunaga, after the previous Rukawa Kaede frontal break, Matsunaga was a lot more cautious, did not dribble the ball, but was looking for teammates! The other members of the Green Python team began to run without the ball again, it can be seen that this team is still quite high in tactical literacy, after each pause, the players are executing tactics! This time it was Fukatsu who ran out of the vacant position, and the ball arrived! Fukatsu did not hesitate after taking the ball, a frontal mid-range jumper!
"Brush!!"
Steady throw!!The Green Python team also has someone other than Matsunaga who scores!!
"As a guard, Fukatsu not only has a better and better view of the overall situation, but also has a higher and higher stability of shooting!
From Coach Tsuchiya's words, it can be heard that the Green Python team values Fukatsu quite a lot!!
10:8
The Green Python regained the lead, and Coach Tsuchiya's timeout also had an immediate effect.
The Jaguar team attacked, Miyagi dribbled the ball, and the other players also learned the tactics of the Green Python team and began to run without the ball, in the same way, Mitsui pocketed out the empty space, Miyagi also got the ball to the person, and Mitsui fired at the 45-degree three-point line!!
"Brush!!"
Hollow into the net!!
Mitsui, who has been unknown since the opening, found an opportunity, which was also his first shot of the game, and it seems that Mitsui's form is slowly recovering!
10:11
The Jaguar team overtook the score with Mitsui's shot, and it was also the first time since the opening of the game, and the two teams went back and forth for the rest of the first quarter, but the Jaguar team always led by a narrow margin!
At 27:21, the Jaguar team entered the second quarter with a 6-point lead!
In the second quarter, the bench players on both sides played inseparably, but the Jaguar team still had a higher shooting percentage, and the lead was slowly expanding!52:41, the Jaguar team led by eleven points to end the half.
In terms of statistics, the Jaguar team Akagi made all six shots, and two free throws, scoring 14 points, and the Green Python team scored the most points or Matsunaga, after scoring eight points in a row in the opening game, Matsunaga only shot one shot, and scored 10 points at halftime, Fukatsu only scored 5 points, but had 5 assists.
"Everyone is still playing hard!!Jaguar is a really strong team, and they were in pretty good shape tonight, in the second half we continued to maintain the spirit of the first half and play our style!!Come on!!Boys!!
Coach Tsuchiya is still quite open-minded, he knows the strength of this team, as I said before, if the weak team wants to defeat the strong team, the first thing is to play with their own defense, actively face the game, and then the opponent does not have a high hit rate, obviously the current green python team is satisfied with the former, not the latter!
So even if the team is behind, Coach Tsuchiya is not in a hurry, and it is enough to give full play to the true strength of the team!
At the end of the half-time, the players of the Jaguar team here were talking and laughing, and the lead of the score made the players feel very happy!
The Jaguar team served, and Miyagi dribbled to launch the first attack of the second half.
The Jaguar team's tactics are also changeable, this time it was Miyagi and Sakuragi's blocking, Miyagi went straight to the basket, attracted the bag of many players, and was assigned to Mitsui, who was ambushed on the bottom line!
Mitsui receives the ball without making adjustments, three-point shot!!
"Brush!!"
Swipe the net in!!
Mitsui is also hot today! So far, he has made 4 three-pointers, and the Jaguar team has also expanded the score to 14 points!
The Green Python team's offense here is also impatient, and Matsunaga is once again facing Rukawa Kaede's defense and forcing a three-point shot!!
"Bell!!"
The ball is out of the basket!
Rukawa Kaede, who is seriously defending, is really difficult to break!!
Sakuragi grabbed the rebound and handed it to Miyagi, who accelerated directly, and it seemed that he was going to launch a fast attack!
"Give it to me!!!
Sakuragi is attacking quickly and asking for the ball!
Miyagi is also looking at Sakuragi's running direction and is ready to play at any time!
Miyagi had just dribbled to the front, and seeing that the time was ripe, he passed the ball directly to ,,,
"Damn!!!! Miyagi looked at me and passed the ball to Mitsui!!"
Miyagi came to a pass that didn't look at people, it was originally a wonderful pass, but it was enough to choke Sakuragi!!
After Mitsui got the ball, he made a shooting feint, and Abe may have been a little jealous of Mitsui, who felt hot tonight, and jumped up without hesitation!
"Oops!!"
Abe just jumped together and knew that he was fooled!
After shaking past Abe, Mitsui followed the baseline and killed the basket!!
