Chapter 673: The Awakening of the Defending Champion (Part II)
Defending champions Kagoshima Antlers have had a bumpy season. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The first was their most important offseason signing, when Akagi's fractured canthus bone caused him to miss out on almost the entire series.
But even with a crippled roster, the Antlers won enough games to finish runners-up in the regular season.
Facing the dark horse Hokkaido Lavender in the first round, the team's strength reached its strongest moment of the season with the return of Akagi Goken.
They swept their opponents and made it to the semi-finals without much difficulty.
In the semi-finals, the Antlers faced the strong rise of the Tokyo Great White Sharks, but in the first game at home, there was a "Waterloo".
A fiasco that lost suspense in the fourth quarter cast a thick shadow over the Antlers' road to defending their title.
However, as a team capable of winning championships, it is one of the qualities that must be possessed by quickly adjusting the team's form.
Such a quality made the Antlers respond with momentum in the second game.
Fans have seen changes in the team.
As the boss of the team, Amu took the lead in "taking the lead" and opened the counterattack horn of the Antlers with a classic "Golden Rooster Independence".
Although Zhongliwan has been sealed to the position, it is "Golden Rooster Independence", which is a move that the whole league is still in an unsolvable position at present.
However, the Jaws are not flustered, they are the team with one win.
The Antlers team gave the ball to Amu, and the Great White Shark gave the ball to the original armor wolf.
The same face frame attack, the same mid-distance position, but in the face of Huang Se's close defense, the original armor wolf chose to impact the inside line~!!
The original armor wolf's lateral movement speed is faster, and the impact is stronger, and it came to the three-second zone in a few big steps~!!
The original armor wolf did not pause, directly carried the defender, and also had some small backward movements, dragging the ball with one hand and throwing the ball~!!
"I like to cover big guys the most~!!"
"Smack~!!"
I saw that at this time, behind the original armor wolf, a little man wearing a 10 jersey and long hair fluttering jumped up like a pole vault, and roared and said, directly flying the throw of the original armor wolf with a palm fan~~
"Yay~!!!!!"
The public gymnasium resounded with cheers for the first time in a long time.
The shot of the small man covering the big man is the most infectious~~
Although Nakazato Wan is appealing to the referee, Kiyota has begun to use what he does best - waving his hands to mobilize the enthusiasm of the fans.
"Bell~~"
After the Great White Shark's baseline ball, because there was not much time left to attack, Miura Fei forced a shot under the interference of Kiyota, and the ball came out steadily.
After defending two attacks in a row, Kiyota shouted something to the audience again, looking quite excited.
The small curls of the shawl and the body movements, Kiyota is like a rock star.
Just like Amu said in the players' tunnel before the game, Kiyota has completely dedicated himself to the game without reservation.
While speaking, Qingtian came to the front court with the ball again, and Amu was asking for the ball, but Zhongliwan took a defensive defense around the front, and Qingtian was more cautious and did not rush to shoot~~
"Why won't you attack by yourself~??Unconsciously, because of the status of this team, your ability is slowly regressing, isn't it~??"
Miura, known as Japan's "Arenas", rarely spews trash talk, and even said the same.
It seems that Miura is trying to break Kiyota's psychological defenses.
A player like Kiyota who is so aggressive is often psychologically fragile.
"Hmph, it's just a win, what's bullish~~, how can I Qingtian regress, how can I Qingtian forget to attack, how can I Qingtian not dare to shoot, how can I Qingtian drag the team back, what are you kidding~!!"
Qingtian is also a very unyielding inner monologue, and he directly shoots in three points on the spot~!!!
Miura didn't expect Kiyota to vote like this, so he just subconsciously stepped forward to block, which actually had no substantial impact.
"Brush~!!!"
The first three-pointer of the Antlers in the second game, and the first three-pointer hit by Kiyota in the semifinals.
Unlike the previous "Golden Rooster Independence" of Amu, Qingtian's shooting is not his main offensive method at all.
It's not a "correct" and "reasonable" shot choice, but the ball is in, it's the most reasonable ~~
"Oh~!!!!"
Kiyota beat his chest while defending himself, whistling, venting the unhappiness in his heart in the previous game~~
It looks like the Antlers are about to wake up~!!
However, in the first half of the game, the Great White Shark was not too inferior, and the score was still tight.
At 56:59, Jaws trailed by 3 points.
"This kind of competition is what we are looking forward to the most, this is the real strength of the two teams~!!"
The commentary is also quite exciting.
After the start of the second half of the game, with the awakening of Ah Mu and Kiyota, Ah Shen also woke up.
"Brush~!!"
"Brush~!!"
At the beginning of the third quarter, after running out of the open space through the cover in a row, Ah Shen hit two consecutive outside three-pointers in the two bottom corners of the court.
This is the rhythm of the Antlers to win, this is the rhythm of the Antlers going on the right track~!!
"Toot ~ !!"
Seeing this, the head coach of the Great White Shark immediately called a timeout, asking whoever was allowed to get up, and the Great White Shark didn't want to let Ah Shen get up.
"Bell ~ !!"
However, after the timeout came back, Nakaliwan's outside three-pointer did not respond.
In the second game, the Great White Sharks' outside shooting percentage was actually not very good.
Maybe the victory in the last game consumed a lot of the team's energy, and the heart is such a thing, I can't say what help will be for the game, but it is indispensable for you to win~~
While speaking, the Antlers team is another half-court offensive tactic for Ah Shen.
"Supplement Defense ~ !!"
"I'll follow~!!"
Although Ah Shen got rid of Hikochi through a few covers, the defense communication of the Great White Shark was very timely, and the original armored wolf made up for it, forming a dislocation~~
Seeing this, Kiyota was still very resolute and distributed the ball to Ah Shen near the 45-degree angle.
At this time, Ah Shen had just run to the position.
The original armored wolf also quickly followed, not wanting to give Ah Shen a chance to shoot.
"What~!?? still want to vote~!!"
The proto-armored wolf suddenly exclaimed.
Because when Ah Shen received the ball, he still followed the previous rhythm and directly made a shooting action~!!
Out of nervousness, perhaps a subconscious action, the original armored wolf jumped up~!!
"Oops~!!"
As soon as the original armored wolf jumped, he found that he had been fooled~!!
In fact, Ah Shen is a feint, Ah Shen's body adjusted, and he directly hit the body of the original armor wolf~~
The original armored wolf flinched, not wanting to be "touched" by the god~~
However, Ah Shen tried hard to stick to the original armor wolf, and there was still a more or less physical confrontation in the air, but this confrontation did not affect Ah Shen's shooting, Ah Shen still made an awkward action of secondary force in the air, and "flung out" the ball~~
"Toot ~ !!"
The ball flew flat to the basket, and the referee also resolutely blew the whistle.
The ball looks a lot crooked~~
"Click~!!Brush~!!"
It is precisely because of a lot of crookedness that a wiping board that makes this ball crooked and accidentally hit a hollow into the net~!!
After the enlightened Ah Shen hit two three-pointers in a row, he hit a magical "3+1"
