Chapter 953: No need to rebuild
The last time there was a defending champion in the new season was the Sendai Wanderers, who won the title twice in a row.
Because after that two-in-a-row championship, Sendo Akira received an invitation from the NBA and left the Rover.
History is always strikingly similar, the same two-time champion, the same superstar, Kaede Rukawa, also chose to leave the team and go to the Korean league.
And then they lost Takano Thunder, so the defending champion Mito Electronics was thought to be an out-of-playoff team in the new season.
Although they supplemented Kitajima Yisheng and the "bearded" Sekiya Kohoku.
But the two are also considered to be recognized as "team outcasts".
In the opening match of the new season, the team will host the Nagoya Ninja team, who also "lost" Takano Thunder in the offseason.
Maybe it was the encouragement of the championship banner before the game, maybe it was the sense of dignity of the defending champion, or maybe it was the tuning of Coach Yuchai, after the opening, the electronic team played very well, and Aikawa made the first layup for the team to take the lead.
On the ninja team's side, Hideshi Ishibashi Zhaoru is very active, holding the ball and attacking Kitajima Massashi in one go.
"Yay~!!"
"The champion made a mistake~!!"
However, it seems that Kitajima does not want to be reduced to a background emperor in front of the fans of the new club, under Kitajima's close defense and constant interference, Ishibashi lost his center of gravity a little, and the ball was broken by the "bearded" Sekiya Xiaobei.
The first technical statistic of the champion's career is a mistake, which is somewhat less than ideal~~
Sekiya dribbled the ball, no one passed, and came to the front by himself.
In the previous dragon team and the first lavender, Guan Gu showed a certain amount of his organizational ability~~
This time, though, Sekiya showed off his projection ability.
In the face of Lan Zhongzhi, who is also a left-handed player who defends himself, Guan Gu also took advantage of the shortcomings of the opponent's lack of experience, and before he stepped forward to force the grab, he directly made a three-point shot at the top arc~!!
"Brush~!!"
The ball brushes into the net~~
It seems that Sekiya is also in good shape, and the electronic team played a 5:0 start as soon as they came up, and they all caught the shortcomings of the opponent's young players due to lack of experience~~
It seems that this should also be specially arranged by Coach Yuchai before the game.
And judging from the state of the two newcomers Kitajima Yisheng and Guan Gu Xiaobei, at least there is a big difference from last season, their state is slowly recovering, slowly waking up~~
Coach Yushiba was still gesturing on the sidelines, and it seemed that the team had more tactics.
After losing two superstars, it really should be done, and playing basketball as a whole is what a team as talented as Team Electronics and Ninja is supposed to do.
"Brush~!!"
As he spoke, Ishii Nobukaze's mid-range hit after the block finally scored the first point of the new season for the ninjas.
In the past few seasons when Takano Thunder left the team, Ishii's average points per game increased every season, and Ishii's shooting ability was very strong, so it was reasonable to increase his shots after no inside partner.
And the one who made the block and demolition for Ishii was the champion Xiu Shiqiao Zhaoru.
Although the height of Ishibashi's 205 cm is not very prominent, his body is as wide as Takano Thunder, which is a sharp weapon for blocking and dismantling.
"Brush~!!"
However, as soon as the words fell, Ishibashi once again paid the price for his inexperience.
Kitajima, who was defending himself, was more than two meters empty, and the latter did not hesitate at all, and another three-point shot close to the top arc made the ball crisp into the net.
Perhaps Coach Minami Moriyo had reminded Ishibashi before the game that the opposing defense Kitajima was a big man who liked to shoot on the outside, but when he really came to the court, he was nervous and afraid of making mistakes, which made Ishibashi forget all this.
The two newcomers, Sekiya and Kitajima, shot three points one after another, and it seems that the two of them are in very good shape~~
The three-point score of the two brought the difference to 6 points.
"Bang Bang Bang ~ !!"
"North Island ~ !! North Island ~ !!"
Coach Yushiba also shouted Kitajima on the sidelines, clapping and nodding his head to show encouragement.
Sekiya and Kitajima kept the opening good form throughout the first half.
In the first half, the two men scored 12 and 9 points respectively, and although the score was not much, the team ended the first half with a 49-41 lead of 8 points.
Able to suppress the half-time score of the team in the run-and-bomb mode to only 41 points, the defense of the electronic team is really good~~
The performance of the champion Xiu did not seem to be very impressive, although he grabbed 8 rebounds, but only scored 4 points, and only 1 of 5 shots in the athletic battle, plus two free throws, barely scored 4 points.
The stone bridge doesn't look like it's quite adapted to the strength of the Jba yet.
Ishibashi's performance, however, is seen by many as a measure of whether the previous management's decision to abandon Takano Thunderbolt was right or wrong.
If Ishibashi plays at a normal top-level performance, it means that the team's management is betting right.
At the start of the second half, the electronic team still dominated the attack.
Aikawa dribbles the ball, and the ninja team shrouds Aikawa with Takeuchi Rihei's height.
However, Aikawa is not the kind of player who can only play strongly, and after signaling his teammates to open up space, he is ready to play Takeuchi alone.
Takeuchi is also a defensive striker, and it is not easy for Aikawa to successfully single the opponent.
But looking at Aichuan, who is dribbling the ball and finding the rhythm, he seems to be very confident.
I saw that Takeuchi's defense was placed on the left hand side of Aikawa, which might reduce the threat of Aikawa's breakthrough.
However, Aikawa didn't seem to hesitate, dribbling the ball with his left hand, lowering his center of gravity, carrying Takeuchi, and killing under the basket~!!
Takeuchi didn't make much movement, just covered it with his height, which was very simple~~
If Aichuan breaks through to the forbidden area like this, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous~~
I saw that after Aikawa burst to the free throw line on the side, he continued to lean on Takeuchi with his body, and his body suddenly stopped, and he hit the ball on the ground with his left hand and caught it with his right hand.
However, this series of actions did not allow Aikawa to completely get rid of Takeuchi's defense.
Takeuchi is still covering the Waikawa.
"Hmph, is there no way~!!"
Takeuchi spoke confidently.
"No, the offensive has just begun~!!"
Aichuan's tone was also full of confidence.
However, Aikawa was not ambiguous, and after getting the ball with his right hand, he directly took a very big step back, completely "separating" himself from Takeuchi.
Takeuchi's emergency stop was urgent, and it was too late to step forward to cover Aichuan again.
Aichuan's super retreat made a lot of space for himself, and he jumped directly on his back while aiming at the basket and throwing the ball~!!
Even though Takeuchi is tall and has long arms, it is difficult to cover a series of movements, and after a series of actions, there is enough space for Waikawa.
"Brush~!!"
The ball made a beautiful arc and brushed over the net.
Aichuan successfully completed a wonderful single~!!
"Left-handed dribbling, unscrupulous killing to the basket, and then an emergency stop, all of this is an illusion, all of this is preparing for the final step back shot after the left hand, hum, it's not bad~~"
Takeuchi sighed as he recalled the whole set of actions of Aikawa.
It can be seen from this goal that Aikawa has made progress, and Aikawa has improved in offensive decisiveness and ability.
This is another reason why the electronic team does not have to be rebuilt.
