Chapter 292: The Years of the Dynasty (Part II)
Center~~, the position closest to the basket on the basketball court, is a very important part of the court no matter what era it is. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Those who have the inside line win the world~~"
This famous quote is a good confirmation of the importance of the center forward on the court.
If you have a center forward with height, weight, strength, speed, physicality, congratulations, you're going to get everything you want.
The Rover team at the beginning of the 21st century is such a team, they have the wisdom to select super center Maruyama Kojiro, Maruyama has proved with one inexplicable performance after another that he is the only existence in this league.
Maruyama is almost the "big shark O'Neill" of this arena~!!
In his second season with the team, Maruyama led the Rover to the finals.
Facing the most successful team in JBA history, Tokyo Tower, the Rover has also led 3:1, and there is only one game left to win the Golden Basket.
And Maruyama's performance, for the defense, is a kind of destruction, not only destroying the defense line on the field, but also the defense line in the hearts of the tower players.
The Iron Tower team has never found a good way to deal with Maruyama.
If in the fifth game of the last battle, the defense of Maruyama by the Iron Tower team still does not turn around, then it will really be only possible to see the new king ascend the throne.
"After all, Maruyama is only a sophomore player, and when he comes to a stage like the finals, he can't win the championship by grabbing a few more rebounds, although he is now behind by a big score, but I believe that our team has experienced a more difficult time than now, and we will definitely survive it~!!"
This was said by the head coach of the Tower team in an interview before the game.
Although the coach didn't say much about the game, the coach still sent a signal to the players that Maruyama was not invulnerable.
After the game started, the rover guard gave the ball to Maruyama, who was in a stable position on the inside, very "knowing the rules".
Although Maruyama looks very big and clumsy, in fact, some of his back hitting skills seem to be more meticulous than some forwards.
The center of the tower team struggled and struggled like a flood in a rushing river.
After Maruyama got the ball, he began to show a crushing power advantage, burying his head in the position of the inside line, Maruyama didn't care how many people came to help defend, he just raised his arms, just like a green dragon glaive knife slashed around him, no one could get close~~~
“duang~!!!!”
The basket trembled again, and the first attack after the start of the game, the defense of the Towers was so broken, which was an extremely bad sign.
"Yay~!!!"
The Starry Sky Arena once again erupted in the usual cheers, presumably, such cheers have just begun.
"After all, Maruyama is only a sophomore player, and when he comes to a stage like the finals, he can't win the championship by grabbing a few more rebounds~~"
Now listening to what the head coach of the tower team said before, it's really a little ridiculous, Maruyama is indeed not only able to grab rebounds, but also that can't defend his personal ability at all~~
In the entire fifth game, the Iron Tower team still failed to find any way to limit Maruyama, and even used the tactic of "cutting Maruyama" during the game.
But unlike "O'Neill". Maruyama is a center who knows what shooting is.
26 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks.
It was Maruyama's fifth game, and it was enough for the Rover to win the Golden Basket again after winning the first championship in franchise history in 1998.
We often describe a player's excellence as "epoch-making", and Maruyama at that time fully deserved this term, and "epoch-making center" was the best evaluation of Maruyama at that time.
After winning the first championship of his career, Maruyama led the Rover to continue to soar, and the 2003-2004 season went all the way, and finally won the championship again, winning two consecutive championships~~
Maruyama at that time was really "the first person in the alliance~~"
However, then, Maruyama encountered Waterloo, perhaps because it was too smooth, after two consecutive championships, Maruyama began to slack off on the game, perhaps for Maruyama, it seems that there is no too difficult triple championship, not very fascinating.
But even in this state, Maruyama led the Rover to the stage of the finals, but this time, the Rover team confirmed the truth that "the proud soldiers will be defeated".
They lost themselves in the finals and were taught a good lesson by the newcomer to the league, the legendary veteran Shinyama Rice and the team-oriented Antlers.
That year, Maruyama tasted defeat in the finals for the first time.
It was also that year that Akira Sendo came to the team.
As for why the champion-level rookie Xiandao will come to the finals-level team~~ The answer is in the near future.
"Sendo Akira ~~Curious special name~~"
When Sendo first came to the team, Maruyama walked up to him, lowered his head, and pouted.
"I've admired the name for a long time when I was in college, please give me a lot of advice~~"
At this time, Xiandao has changed a lot compared to high school, at least humble.
"Hmph, is my name only spread in college??rookie, you have to remember, this team, I am the leader~~ You, just do your own thing~!!"
Maruyama's warning tone reminded Sendo.
Xiandao didn't respond either. Just nodded slightly.
Although Maruyama is relatively mean in his mouth, he usually treats Xiandao like a big brother~~
That season, the Rover recovered, and Maruyama was more calm and steady than before, so sometimes, losing is not an absolute bad thing, and if it can make people grow, it is very worthwhile.
Although it was only the first season of Xiandao, after the end of the regular season, Xiandao had already shown its talents.
But the boss of the team at that time was still Maruyama.
That year, the Rover once again made it to the finals.
Xiandao reached the finals in his first season, and he was really happy~!!
This time, their opponents are the Antlers, who took their championship last season.
However, compared with last season's finals, the two sides have undergone great changes in personnel, and the Antlers' side of the team's Dinghai Shenshen Needle - Shin Yama Fan was reimbursed for the season due to injury in the first round of the playoffs.
Moreover, the rover has also increased the immortal path compared to last year, and it seems that the balance of victory is tilting in favor of the rover.
"I didn't expect that there would really be such a day when I would meet you in the finals~!!"
Before the first match between the two sides, Ah Mu came to Xiandao's side and said.
"yes, this feeling is completely different from the regular season~~"
Immortal Dao also sighed.
"Last year's hatred, let's do a good calculation~!!"
Maruyama didn't sigh like Sendo, his vicious gaze was full of flames of revenge.
After the start of the first game between the two sides, it was still a home game, and the rovers with more neat personnel took the initiative.
"Xiandao and Maruyama started to block and dismantle, Xiandao rushed to the basket with the help of blocking and dismantling, and Maruyama also went to the basket at the same time~~"
"duang~!!" (To be continued.) )
