Kobe Jaguar's home game against Sado Island Radiance has begun, the opening Jaguar team is in a hot state, consecutive shots and goals, although Sakuragi appeared to be distracted by the defense, but still made up for it with a magical performance on the offensive end, 6:2, the Radiance team only relied on Kyozo Eguchi's free throws to score two points.

But Coach Toyama didn't call a timeout, he felt his players could adjust.

"I heard that Sakuragi had suffered a major waist injury that almost ruined his basketball career, and I was surprised to be back on the court, but I didn't expect to be able to make such a move. Looks like he's recovering well! ”

Coach Toyama seems to know a little bit about Sakuragi.

For the rest of the first quarter, Jaguar controlled the pace of the game, and although Glory occasionally scored difficult goals, it always felt like a drop in the bucket, and the team did not find its rhythm, and the first quarter ended with Jaguar leading by 14 points at 33:19.

"Let's put down the burden, the other party did throw a lot of mid-to-long shots in this section, but we must firmly believe in one thing: such a hit rate will not last too long, and when the opponent's hit rate comes down, our opportunity will come! There is also Akagi, trying to let him rest more. “

Even if the team is behind, Coach Toyama is still affirming the players, playing according to the routine, waiting for the opportunity, and it seems that he has to "take care" of Akagi.

"Everybody played well, just follow this rhythm, Akagi, you have to watch out for your fouls! And Sakuragi, help Akagi make up for it when necessary, and try to maintain this point difference!! Come on, everyone!! ”

The team performed well, and Coach Ohki didn't talk too much about tactics, so the most important thing is to keep everyone alive.

The second quarter of the game began, starting with a glorious offense.

Miura dribbles, this time he no longer creates opportunities for his teammates like in the first quarter, but faces Miyagi's defense, and kills directly to the basket, Miyagi 185's height is not short among guards, but in the face of Miura's tall guard with a height of 191cm, Miyagi obviously suffers a little, and Miura deliberately breaks through at a slow speed to prevent Miyagi from stealing with a lower center of gravity.

"Damn, it's hard to deal with such a breakthrough, this guy!!" Miyagi seemed to be at a loss.

Miura crushed Miyagi like a tank.

"Fight!!"

Miyagi lowered his center of gravity again and decided to give it a fight to see if he could break the ball in Miura's hand.

"Naive!!"

Miura saw that Miyagi got into his armpit and broke the ball, as if he knew that Miyagi was going to do this, he quickly took the ball, and Miyagi then pounced, and fell to the ground due to the low center of gravity of his body.

Miura raised the ball above his head and threw it, and Akagi hurriedly came over to help defend!

"Toot! Defender No. 4, the thug fouls! Offensive No. 1, two free throws. ”

"What!!"

Akagi doesn't believe in penalties and wants to find a referee theory.

"Akagi, forget it, we're still ahead, don't worry!!" Mitsui ran over and persuaded him.

In this case, shortly after the start of the second quarter, Akagi received his second personal foul.

"The problem of worry still arises, the team likes to rush into the inside line to make kills and delay the pace of the game, Akagi has become the first victim, so it will be a little troublesome!!"

Coach Oki is aware of Akagi's crisis.

Miura scored both free throws.

Jaguar Attack.

Miyagi dribbled past half the court, and Miura was still clinging to Miyagi, which made it difficult for Miyagi to organize an attack, and he could only be tired of protecting the ball.

"From now on, lock you up completely!!" Miura let out cruel words.

"Miura's defense is very aggressive, it seems that the opponent has discovered the weakness of Miyagi's lack of physical confrontation ability, if Miyagi has been trapped in such a defense, our offensive efficiency will also be greatly reduced!!"

Coach Ohki probably didn't expect Radix to study his team so carefully.

"Damn!!"

Miyagi was a little more serious and kept fighting against Miura, without passing or breaking through.

"Wow!" 24 seconds up.

"Yay~~!!" The glorious bench cheered loudly, and the purpose of the ball defense was achieved.

Jaguar's team members also seem to have forgotten the concept of time, and no one reminds Miyagi.

"Miyagi, don't go head-to-head with that guy, pass the ball more!"

I don't know if Miyagi listened to Akagi's words. But judging from Miyagi's sweaty appearance, the physical exertion is great.

Radiance's offense changed a set of tactics, this time Abe received the ball, it seems that Radiance hopes to take advantage of Rukawa Kaede's absence on the court, let Abe attack more, and find some touch.

After receiving the ball, Abe broke through with his left hand, and just a few steps before passing the ball with a low hand.

"Oh no,,," Sakuragi, who had just come over to make up for the defense, noticed Abe's pass and already knew that he was out of position.

"Good pass!! Abe! ”

Sure enough, the ball passed to Eguchi, who was defending by Sakuragi.

Eguchi dribbled after receiving the ball, and had already come to the reasonable collision zone, ready to make a layup.

"Don't think about it!!"

Akagi is a pillar of optimus, jumping high, with Akagi's height of 210cm, it is still easy to cover Eguchi's layup.

"What!!"

Just as Akagi was about to block it, Eguchi's ball suddenly fell and turned into a pass.

"It's not over yet,"

When Akagi found out that he had been deceived, he predicted that the ball should have passed to Shirai, who was defending him, so he jumped immediately after landing on the ground, leaned to the left, and tried to block again.

"Toot!! The defender's No. 4 blocked the foul, and the attacker's No. 15 goal was valid, plus a free throw! ”

Although Akagi's prediction was correct, Shirai was too close to the basket, and he missed the best time to block by jumping one step late, not only allowing Shirai to dunk the ball in, but also paying for a foul again because he used too much force.

"Gorilla ,,,"

Sakuragi had never seen any other center take advantage of Akagi. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't.

"I'll leave it to you, it's time for me to go, remember, use your brain!!"

Akagi clearly remembers the number of fouls he made, and before he was halfway through the second quarter, Akagi had already committed three fouls and had to be replaced.

"Akagi still hasn't been able to escape this crisis, so he can only replace Rukawa Kaede in advance!"

Coach Oki made a passive substitution in desperation.

"Brush!" Penalty hit.

came back to Jaguar to attack, Miyagi's point was still locked, and Rukawa Kaede was finally ordered to shoot three points from a distance in danger.

"Jaguar hasn't scored yet in the second quarter!!"

The on-site commentary also made Jaguar sweat.

It may be the reason for Akagi's departure, Jaguar lacks the person who observes the overall situation on the defensive end, and before Jaguar's players can react, Guanghui grabbed the rebound and quickly launched a fast attack, Miura's ball is very fast, a long pass found the small forward Kuroki Tianming who just ran to the three-point line, Kuroki took the ball and shot directly at three points!

"Brush!"

Three-point shot, shooting rhythm is very smooth!

Kuroki made his first three-pointer of the game, and after missing two in the first quarter, he finally opened the pot.

"This guy is so dark, it's hard to notice him on the field!! The hair is still like a broom, is it a brother to the one who killed Matt?? ”

Sakuragi complained.

As soon as the second quarter came up, as Akagi's foul crisis was replaced, Jaguar was won by Brilliant on the defensive end, and the opponent played a wave of 8:0 offensive. And the situation on the field has quietly changed.

Coach Ohki didn't call a timeout, he believes the team can adjust.

"Give it to me!"

Mitsui was just about to serve the bottom line, Rukawa Kaede ran over to ask for the ball, his eyes became quite sharp, it seems that Rukawa Kaede is going to use his personal ability to solve the problem.

Sure enough, Rukawa Kaede dribbled past half court and commanded the attack of the half.

"That's right, Rukawa Kaede, when the team can't open the situation, you need to stand up, bravely take on this responsibility!! So that you can go further!! "Coach Oki didn't call a timeout, it seems right, Rukawa Kaede is ready to take over the game.

"Want to be one-on-one? Come on!! Abe, who was defending Kaede Rukawa, was in high spirits and had no stage fright.

Rukawa Kaede motioned for the team members to pull away, and it seemed that he really wanted to have a one-on-one with Abe and get back to the feeling of his college days.

Rukawa Kaede dribbled rhythmically under his crotch, thinking about the breakthrough route, and suddenly, Rukawa Kaede's crotch changed to his right hand and started!

Abe was very focused, as soon as Rukawa Kaede accelerated, Abe retreated alertly, and Rukawa Kaede lowered his center of gravity to the inner line with one word: Kill!

Rukawa Kaede burst to the free throw line and suddenly slowed down and passed the ball out.

Mitsui, who was at the three-point line at a 45-degree angle, did not rush to shoot after receiving the ball, but once again passed the ball back to Rukawa Kaede.

Kaede Rukawa, who received the ball again, has returned to the three-point line, while Abe thinks Mitsui will shoot and rush to the basket to grab the rebound. So

"So I'm here to defend you!!" The big striker Kyozo Eguchi saw that Abe was wrong in judgment and ran to Rukawa Kaede in time to make up for the defense.

"Cut!" Rukawa Kaede was dismissive, but time was really running out, and even if he changed his guard to Eguchi to defend Rukawa Kaede, it was very difficult.

"Okay, Eguchi, just take turns defending Rukawa Kaede, so that he doesn't have any chance, you have an advantage!"

Coach Toyama is very satisfied with the team's performance at this stage.

"For one, Eguchi's height of 199cm as a power forward is only a little higher than the 198cm of Kaede Rukawa who plays point guard, so in terms of speed, Eguchi can keep up with Kaede Rukawa. Secondly, Eguchi's ferocious defense is very suitable for dealing with players of the skill genre like Kaede Rukawa, so this is not a set of mismatches, but a matchup with an advantage. ”

Indeed, as Coach Toyama said, Rukawa Kaede couldn't get rid of Eguchi if he wanted to break through, and he wanted to throw but was afraid of Eguchi's height, and just between hesitations, Guanghui once again completed a wonderful 24-second defense!!

"Yes, it's such a defense, our team except for the center, players in other positions can be competent for multiple positions, there is no big difference in the height of the four, speed and other aspects, so our players will hardly have a misplaced defense on the field, and when the opponent finds out this, it is too late, every player on the offensive end has the ability to dominate the ball, so the ball will run very smoothly, even if you change to the bench, as long as there is a main force on the field, then we are still the same, this is our lineup! A perfectly balanced lineup! The scales of victory are already tilting in our favor! “

Coach Toyama showed a weird smile, and it seemed that he had won the game.
