Chapter 31: Outnumbered
The game between Jaguar and Feilang came to the second quarter.
As soon as it came up, the head coach of Feilang pointed to Jaguar's main force when he was resting, and let Fuji Zhen use his personal ability to chase back some scores, who wanted to kill a Sakuragi Hanamichi halfway, in the confrontation with foreign aid Swift, Sakuragi had the upper hand, so that Feilang not only did not open the score during this time, but let Sakuragi shoot again and again to score points, and the score difference was further widened!
"Akagi and the others are back on the field, and it will be difficult for the team to narrow the gap in the first half, as long as it is not pulled away too much." What Coach Moriyama is looking forward to most now is to get through the first half quickly, get back to the locker room, and rearrange his tactics!
In the last three minutes of the first half, after the return of the main force of Jaguar, the score did not widen again, and after the half, Jaguar still led Feilang by 14 points at 58:44, such a lead was not expected by both teams before the game.
The difference between the two sides in three-point shooting is reflected in the score, Jaguar team three-point shooting 7 of 16, while Feilang only 15 shooting 3 of three-point, Jaguar won by 12 points.
"In the first half, we didn't play our own rhythm, and the shooting feel was not good, we still have to pay attention to the opponent, and we should pay attention to the defense when defending, the main thing is to solve our offensive end, we must be patient, but we still have to shoot decisively when there is an opportunity, fortunately, we are not much behind in the first half, and we have to chase 14 points in two quarters, which is enough! We need to regain our faith,!! ”
Coach Moriyama didn't say anything specific in the locker room, and there was nothing wrong with Feilang's tactics in the first half, mainly because he missed too many shots in the open space.
"Everyone's performance in the first half, to be honest, I didn't expect it! Well done! ”
Coach Oki was the first to boast about the team in the locker room.
"Hahaha, that's of course, if you let this genius play early, you must be more than 14 points ahead!!"
Sakuragi turns on the big talk mode again.
"Stupid! You've got three fouls and three turnovers! ”
Akagi has always had high demands on Sakuragi.
"Okay, okay, Sakuragi, your overall performance in the first half is not bad, but after all, the game is still 48 minutes, everyone is 0:0, we continue to hold the mentality of fighting the opponent, in the second half, Feilang will definitely launch a strong counterattack, we have to make changes in advance, that is for Fuji Zhen."
Coach Oki walked over to the tactics board as he spoke, talking about tactics.
"In the second half, we must cut off the connection between Fuji Zhen and other teammates, once Fuji Zhen connects the whole team and lets Mu Du and others find their touch, then we will not be able to do it, so in the second half, Miyagi will defend Fuji Zhen again, and if you want to enter, let Fuji Zhen enter, and you must not let other players find the feel, Feilang only relies on one Fuji Zhen, it is difficult to win us! The offensive end is still mainly using the blocking and demolition initiated by Akagi and Miyagi, Rukawa Kaede can properly wait for the opportunity on the outside, everyone feels good today, and the outside line must be decisive when there is a chance!! ”
"Understood, coach, don't worry, not only will Fujima lose contact with his teammates, I will make him disappear on the field!"
Miyagi listened carefully to the coach's words and said confidently.
"Ahh Disappear?? Miyagi, don't be impulsive!! ”
The simple-minded Sakuragi was a little terrified when he heard the word disappear.
"This ,,,, is to let Fuji really do nothing on the field, and it is the same with him on the field. Sakuragi ,,,"
Miyagi was a little helpless.
"That's what it means,,, it's too scary,,, "Sakuragi is like that, and if it's more metaphorical, don't talk to him well."
"Okay, everyone still has to work together to win this game!"
"Good~~!!"
The morale of the Jaguar team is high.
The second half of the game begins.
The Waves attack first.
"Miyagi??"
Coach Moriyama was a little surprised to see that the second half had just begun, and Jaguar was replaced by Miyagi defender Fujima.
"Hehe, it seems that Daki wants to use Miyagi's speed to keep up with Fujima, even if he can't prevent Fujima's personal attack, he has to cut off the connection between Fujima and his teammates, it's really bold to do so, but, you guys underestimate Fujima's strength, his limit is far more than that."
Moriyama is still confident in his love.
Seeing Miyagi's defense, Fujima refused to block and dismantle, decisively dribbled the ball, and prepared to eat Miyagi one-on-one.
"It's coming!"
Coach Moriyama stared at Fujima's dribbling movement and sensed something.
I saw Fujima lower his center of gravity and was about to break through to the right side to use the roller coaster, when he just took a step, Fujima braked sharply, dribbled horizontally with his right hand, and the ball dribbled to his left hand to complete a change of direction. As soon as the body was fixed, he shot directly.
Miyagi was completely shaken by Fujima this time, and due to the inertia generated by his rapid retreat, Miyagi failed to interfere with Fujima's shooting.
"Brush!" Hollow into the net.
"Fuji Zhen's offensive methods are really comprehensive, and his physical coordination is also top-notch, and this backward shooting is very coherent, I don't know how many tricks he still hasn't shown! It's really hard to completely contain Fujima, but it's up to us to take the lead now. ”
Oki also felt the danger of his decision to let Miyagi go to defend Fuji Zhen alone, but Oki still believed in his judgment: Fuji Zhen alone can't win the entire Jaguar team!
Sure enough, Jaguar's offense was not affected by Fujima's goal at all, and Akagi's resolute inside line was forced to eat and hit with a hook hand!
Coming back to Feilang, it is still a one-on-one bullfight between Fujima and Miyagi, Fujima still pretends to break through the emergency stop and change direction, and then directly pulls out the shot, obviously Miyagi is prepared this time, slowing down in advance, so that Miyagi interferes with Fujijin's shooting.
"Bell!" Due to Miyagi's influence, the ball didn't go in, but the ball jumped far and Fujiwara got the rebound.
"Come on!" Miyagi was a little careless, and Fujima cut cross-cutting to the inside to ask for the ball.
"Toot!! Defender No. 4, the hitter fouls, the goal is valid, plus a penalty! ”
Fujiwara saw that Fujima slipped to the inside line, and smashed the ball directly into it, after Fujima received the ball, he made a shooting feint, Akagi jumped rashly under carelessness, and saw that Akagi was fooled, Fujima jumped directly to Akagi, and threw the ball out at the same time.
"Toot!! Defender No. 4, the hitter fouls, the goal is valid, plus a penalty! "The ball bounced on the frame a few times and it went in.
"Fuji Zhen's ability to read the game really doesn't look like a young player, maybe some veterans can't be so calm, as a guard, he killed under the basket alone, facing the big center Akagi, and even made a feint and scored the ball, Fuji Zhen really deserves his reputation!"
Looking at Fujima, who has contributed to the team again, Coach Oki praised it a lot, but he still won't change his tactics.
"This is actually my plan, if you continue to play like this, your physical strength will definitely be exhausted in the fourth quarter, and the other players will not be involved in the attack at all, and you will not be able to find the feeling for a while, and when you find it, the next game should start soon!"
Coach Oki is confident.
After a few rounds of back and forth, there wasn't much time left in the third quarter.
Here Jaguar attacked, Rukawa Kaede took the ball and switched to Mu Dusk's defense, Rukawa Kaede decided to pass his old teammates.
"Come on, Rukawa Kaede, and see how much you've grown in the past few years!" Mu Dui's eyes are firm, after all, in addition to the three-point shot, Mu Dui's most outstanding thing is his ability to defend alone.
Rukawa Kaede dribbled under his crotch, as if adjusting his feelings, Mu Du noticed that Rukawa Kaede was about to break through, and immediately lowered his center of gravity, and his hands began to harass Rukawa Kaede's dribble non-stop, Rukawa Kaede was disrupted by this sudden rush, and the ball was almost lost.
"Pass it on, stinky fox!! Don't waste time!! Sakuragi watched Rukawa Kaede stick to the ball all the time, and was a little anxious.
Rukawa Kaede ignored Sakuragi, and even the other teammates were not in Rukawa Kaede's sight, and in Rukawa Kaede's sight, there was only the basket.
Rukawa Kaede pulls back beyond the three-point line and decides to challenge Ki Twilight's defense again.
"It's time!! Cast it!! Miyagi reminded Rukawa Kaede from the side.
Rukawa Kaede reacted at this time, quickly dribbled two steps forward, stepped on the three-point line, and forced a three-point shot against Mu Dui's defense!
"Bell ~~~~ brush!"
"Oh~~~~~"
From the frustrated voices of the fans at the scene, you can hear that the goal has been scored.
The ball hits the front of the basket, but bounces vertically upwards and falls right into the basket.
lucky,ball!!
Rukawa Kaede shook his head, his expression still so serious.
"Balloons!"
Rukawa Kaede said to Mu Dui, who was smiling bitterly next to him.
"Even this kind of three-point shot climbed in, luck is also part of the team's strength, Jaguar's luck today is really good! It's really hard to score a goal like that."
Moriyama also looked very helpless and had a premonition of the ending.
Flying waves attacked, Fujima and Swift started to block and dismantle, Swift used his huge body to block Miyagi, Fujima saw that the defender was blocked, and directly shot three points, wanting to return a three-point shot to Rukawa Kaede, but the ball was still one step away from the three-point line, and it was about 8 meters away from the basket.
"Bell!" The sound of striking iron is still the same.
"Fuji Zhen is a little more serious than himself! It's time to be reminded," Moriyama said and got up.
"Fuji Zhen~ Be steady, or create more opportunities for teammates~~~!
When Fujima passed by Moriyama's side, Moriyama shouted at the top of his voice. "Brush!"
Before Moriyama sat firmly, Jaguar passed two to Mitsui who was ambushed in the bottom corner, Mitsui made a decisive three-point shot and hit again, 82:62, Jaguar has a full 20-point lead over Feilang. There is not much time left in the third quarter.
"Toot, Team Waves request a timeout!"
Moriyama called a timeout again, he just felt that this time should call a timeout, he didn't know how to talk to the team, he said everything that should be said, but he couldn't score, there was no way.
On the other hand, on the Jaguar side, the substitutes high-fived Sakuragi and others excitedly, as if they had won the game.
Coming back from the timeout, Fujima used the breakthrough to cause several fouls and get free throws, but the Jaguar side was still hot.
At the end of the third quarter, Jaguar led by 19 points at 89:70 heading into the final quarter.
The fourth quarter of the game is like a copy of the third quarter, taking advantage of the rest of the Jaguar main force, it was Fuji Zhen who scored consecutive points, but after Jaguar replaced the main force, the firepower was still undiminished, and the score was always maintained at about 20 points, and the final score was fixed at 107:92, Jaguar unexpectedly easily defeated the Feilang team away from home, which was also the first home defeat of Feilang this season.
