Chapter Eighty-Two: The Uncatchable Difference
In the second half of the game between the Jaguar team and the Iron Horse team, Rukawa Kaede stood up and even hit the shot, and Slyer, who hit the opposite side, had no temper at all, and he was still throwing on the offensive end, burying the game, burying not only this game, but also the efforts of the Iron Horse team throughout the season!
In this way, the Jaguar team defeated the Iron Horse team tenaciously in the absence of Mitsui and achieved a crucial victory in the playoff battle, because the fourth-place ninja team lost in this round, so the Jaguar team finally replaced the ninja team from the fourth place position and grasped the initiative in the playoff battle, but the regular season is not over, and each game affects the final trend!
After the victory over the Iron Horses, the Jaguar team returned to Kobe and began to prepare for their next home game against a strong Fukuyama Flying Wave.
At the time of this preparation, Mitsui, who had been suspended due to injury, asked to make a comeback, but was rejected by Coach Ohki, although Sakuragi and Miyagi both came to petition, but they still failed to convince Ohki until the man appeared!
"Coach!please, we really need Mitsui!!"
"Akagi??!! even you've lost your mind??"
It turned out that the last man to walk into the house was the captain of the team, Akagi Goken!!
"I've communicated with Mitsui before, and we just did one-on-one training, Mitsui has fully recovered, and he is now very ambitious, if you are worried about Mitsui's body, you can let him play as a substitute, and you can control the time on the court, we really need him!!"
Akagi once again persuaded Coach Ohki.
",,,,"
Coach Oki was more or less shaken by Akagi's words.
"Coach!!Please agree!!Please!!Coach!!"
Mitsui stepped forward again to ask Coach Ohki, this scene may remind Mitsui that he also asked Coach Anzai like this back then, although the coach has changed, and so many years have passed, but Mitsui's desire to play is unchanged!!
"Okay then, but remember!!It's a sub!!"
"Yay!!!"
In this way, under the persuasion of Akagi and others, Coach Oki finally agreed to Mitsui's invitation.
"Jaguar substitution!!14!Mitsui Kotoshi on the field!!"
"Yay~~~!!"
The game between Jaguar and Flying Waves went on to the last five minutes of the second quarter, accompanied by the cheers of the audience, after missing many games of the team, the team's scoring guard, the sharpshooter ~~ Mitsui Shou!!, finally returned!!
"Rukawa Kaede!Miyagi, Akagi!Sakuragi!!Come, come!!"
As soon as Mitsui came on the court, he immediately integrated into the state and beckoned everyone to get together, as if to convey the arrangement of Coach Ohki, who was off the court before.
"Okay!!Let them see the power of Jaguar's five strongest tigers!!"
"Roar~~"
Akagi yells to boost the morale of the team.
But looking at the scoreboard, 42:53, the Jaguars are already 11 points behind.
Miyagi dribbled to the half court to see what changes the Jaguar team's tactics would make when Mitsui returned, and whether there would be some tactics around Mitsui??!!
Miyagi dribbled and observed the situation on the field, and sure enough!!
The Jaguar team arranged a tactic around Mitsui, Mitsui went around in a big circle, ran out of the empty space, and Miyagi was the man to the ball!
Mitsui made a slight adjustment after receiving the ball and shot directly from three-point !!
"Brush !!"
Three-point headshot!!
"Oh~~~, beautiful!! Mitsui!!The first shot of this game hit three points, and the return of Mitsui, who missed many games, is very important for the Jaguar team, with Mitsui, the Jaguar team can play a combination of inside and outside, and can have more tactics to use, in addition to Mitsui, it is really difficult for the Jaguar team to find a more reliable pitcher on the outside!!
Mitsui's three points also brought the difference back to single digits!
Here, the Flying Waves team also quickly reorganized the attack, and Fujima dribbled the ball and compared tactics.
From the beginning to now, Fuji Zhen has been pinched to death by the Jaguar team, even if Fuji Zhen uses a killer ~~ roller coaster, it is difficult to break through the Jaguar team's multi-level defense!
Although Fuji Zhen only scored 4 points, there are still 6 assists, this is Fuji Zhen's ability, in the face of different defensive strategies, Fuji Zhen is very sober, will never come nonsense, every ball is played very reasonably, since he is given special care, then create opportunities for his teammates, originally, Fuji Zhen is also a point guard.
While speaking, Fujima used the block of power forward Swift to rush to the basket!
"Don't think about going to the basket!!"
Akagi is always ready to extinguish Fujima's attack.
"And me!!"
Sakuragi also rushed back, and the two of them grabbed Fujima one after the other.
As long as Fuji Zhen shoots this ball, he will definitely not be able to run away from being covered, and Fuji Zhen really can't shoot, because Akagi and Sakuragi have already made Fujima unable to see the basket!!
Sure enough, Fujima chose to pass, a very hidden armpit pass, but the direction of the ball was at the three-point line in the bottom corner, and there were no Waves players there!!
"That's a Jaguar player!!"
It turned out that the Flying Waves team made a reverse running tactic on the outside, Fujiwara deceived Rukawa Kaede with a feint, ran to the baseline to catch the ball, and there was a big vacancy!!
Fujiwara doesn't always shoot three-pointers, but you can still try such an empty space!!
"Brush!!"
The brave attempt paid off, and the Flying Waves came back with an offensive return for a three-pointer from the Jaguar team, and it was Fujima's assist, and the difference was back to double digits again!
"This three-point shot is very hemostasis, when the Jaguar team was just about to take advantage of Mitsui's return to gain momentum, Fujiwara's three-point shot was like a slap on the head, and if it didn't work, it would directly dampen the morale of Mitsui's return. ”
Sure enough, as the commentary analyzed, after the point difference returned to double digits, the Jaguar team was never able to catch up one step closer, and the shooting rate of the Feilang team was also very high!
At halftime, 50:62, the Jaguars were still trailing by 12 points.
"The opponent's shooting rate in the first half is really high, but our defense is in place, don't worry about it, it's better to defend like in the first half! Come on, everyone!!!
Coach Ohki encouraged the players in the locker room, facing the top teams in the league, Coach Ohki was ready to fight a tough battle.
"3!2!1!Jaguar!!"
The difference of 12 points is indeed not big, there is still half time, the Jaguar team has a good chance, and, in another game, the Nagoya Ninja team, which is also fighting at home, is already 19 points behind the Sado Island Radiance team after halftime, and the situation is not optimistic, so even if the Jaguar team loses in this game and the ninja team loses, the rankings of the two teams still have no change.
The initiative remains in the hands of the Jaguar team.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Jaguar team made a change, although the initiative is in their own hands, but winning is the most certain, so the Jaguar team got Mitsui in the starting list, it seems that Coach Ohki wants to chase the difference as soon as possible.
"How does it feel, Mitsui, is your body okay??"
Before the game started, Mu Twilight came to Mitsui's side and finally had a chance to greet him.
"Oh, it's nothing, I didn't expect to be in the first game of my comeback against Mu Dui, it's really fate!!"
Mitsui said with a smile, looking relaxed.
"Yes, but I'm not going to let you win the game and make it to the playoffs because of brotherhood, you have to fight for it yourself!!"
"Then you still need to say, see you on the field!!"
The two ran to the front court, and the second half of the game began.
Miyagi dribbled and started blocking and dismantling with Akagi, and Kuboto, the center of the flying waves, was very confident in guarding Miyagi.
"Cut, pass you like a stake!"
How could Miyagi miss such an opportunity, an accelerated breakthrough that lowered the center of gravity and passed Kubodo.
Seeing this, Fujiwara immediately made up for it, but Miyagi had already stepped up his speed and was ready to go to the basket for a layup!
Fujiwara's lateral movement was also very fast, and the two met in the penalty area, and Miyagi immediately threw the ball high when he saw this!!
"Brush !!"
"Dut!! defender's No. 8 hitter fouls, two points are valid, and one free throw is added!!"
At the beginning of the second half, Miyagi took the lead and if he scored a penalty to reduce the score to single digits again.
