The playoffs between Nagoya Ninjas, who finished fourth in the regular season, and Kobe Jaguars, who finished fifth, were supposed to be the most intense matchups in the first-round series. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not only because of the close ranking of the two teams, but also because of the countless pasts of the two teams.

However, the first leg between the two sides at the JAL Center, home of the ninjas, did not seem to be as intense as expected.

In the first half, the Ninja slashed 76 points, leading the Jaguar team by 28 points.

Such a tone makes the second half of the game have the possibility of turning into garbage time.

After the start of the second half, although relying on Rukawa Kaede's personal ability, the Jaguar team could still score, but the defense was not to mention.

The ninja team attacked here, and it was a very simple block of Ishii and Takano, and then the latter pulled back, and Ishii passed it down.

"Brush~!!"

Takano hit a jump shot straight into the high post.

"Smack~~~"

"Keep passing more~!!"

After Gao Ye and Ishii high-fived each other, Gao Ye said excitedly.

"No problem~!!"

Ishii also smiled confidently.

If this continues to be fought, the Jaguar team may be wiped out.

Rukawa Kaede's face also began to have an impatient expression, because of the pressure from all sides, Rukawa Kaede's position in the current Jaguar team is quite sensitive, and over the years, the media in Kobe have been saying that Rukawa Kaede replaces Xiandao, and Rukawa Kaede is stronger than Xiandao, so Rukawa Kaede himself is always secretly competing with himself, "I must surpass Xiandao~!!"

However, Xiandao has led the team to establish a dynasty and went to the NBA, the "temple of basketball", and Rukawa Kaede has not been able to help the team through the first round of the playoffs.

The third quarter ended, 106:78.

The two sides were tied in the third quarter.

However, with a huge 28-point margin into the fourth quarter, and still on the road, the Jaguars' hopes are still very slim.

"Let the fourth quarter be garbage time, I won't care~!!"

Ninja Team Head Coach Minami Moriyo said to the players during the break.

"Isn't 12 minutes of garbage time a long time~~"

Ishii said as he drank his water.

"Don't don't, I still have 5 rebounds to reach double 20, you must let me achieve it~!!"

Takano said, looking at his own data on the display.

At the end of the third quarter, Takano scored 28 points and 15 rebounds, which is indeed a bit scary~~

"You should ask the Jaguar team about this matter and see how long they can hold out~~"

Tamaki said teasingly.

In the eyes of the ninja players, it seems that the game is over.

The Jaguar team, on the other hand, was dead.

Everyone seems to want to end this game as soon as possible.

In the fourth quarter, the Jaguars resisted for less than half a quarter before surrendering completely.

The fans at the JAL Center have already started to play with the crowd, and everyone seems to be reluctant to leave the stadium, and everyone wants to feel more about such a hearty victory.

Seeing that the game was completely out of suspense, in order to protect the players and show respect, Coach Minami Shoudai replaced all the main forces.

"why~??? is only two short of ~!!"

After leaving the field in great confusion, Takano said to the head coach questioningly.

Seeing that the coach did not reply, Gao Ye directly sat on the bench with a regretful expression on his face.

Although he didn't get the 20th rebound, he had 33 points and 18 rebounds, and Takano's performance was really flawed.

"W~!!"

As the final whistle blew, the final score was fixed at 128:110.

The Jaguars scored points in garbage time made them lose as much as they didn't look that bad.

However, I believe everyone who has watched the game knows that the gap between the two teams.

Rukawa Kaede put a headscarf over his head and left the arena in a hurry.

It was perhaps the heaviest playoff loss of his career.

I don't know if such a defeat can evoke the fighting spirit of Rukawa Kaede.

And Coach Ohki should also think about the team's tactics, but without a Sakuragi Hanamichi, the Jaguar team will be so bad, it's really unreasonable.

In other words, Sakuragi Hanamichi is so important to the team.

I don't know if the Jaguar team, which has learned from the pain, can find its form in the second game.

After the game, only coach Oki and captain Akagi attended the post-match press conference.

"May I ask Coach Ohki if there are still discordant factors within the team at the moment. ”

The first question that the reporter threw at Damu was so sharp.

"Hmm~~~"

"Hmph~~~"

Coach Oki looked into the microphone, thought for a moment, brewed, and then laughed with disdain.

'That's not something you should ask after this game, there's a lot of content in the game, there's a lot to talk about. ”

Coach Oki still politely rejected this question.

"May I ask Coach Ohki, whose responsibility is it for tonight's loss~??"

Another reporter asked.

Compared with the previous ninja team, the Jaguar team's post-match press conference was more lively, and reporters enthusiastically raised their hands and scrambled to ask questions.

"The responsibility must be on me, we have very good soldiers, but we lost the battle, the commander of the army, we must be punished, fortunately, this is a best-of-five series, we still have a chance~~"

Damu answered very happily and calmly this time.

"The team has too many problems on the defensive end, are these all caused by the departure of Hanamichi Sakuragi~??"

The third journalist's question is more sensitive.

"Hmm~~~"

Coach Oki hesitated.

"Our team has gone through the change of the lineup, the team's run-in is still relatively unfamiliar, and we should train more when we go back, and after the tacit understanding of the players is generated, I believe that the defense will be strengthened~!!"

Coach Ohki's question was not answered, completely avoiding the embarrassing topic of "Sakuragi".

Perhaps the more Coach Ohki doesn't want to mention the topic, the more he admits it.

After that, the scene began for reporters to ask questions to Akagi.

"May I ask tonight the team's interior line was attacked by the opponent, are we not prepared~??"

"Preparation~??We prepared enough every night, but we just lost~~"

Akagi doesn't shy away from it.

"The team's current offensive focus is all on Rukawa Kaede, is this something that everyone agrees on~??"

The second reporter started talking about sensitive topics again.

'Whoever has the ability will lead the team, that's a certainty, there's no such thing as agreeing with or disagreeing, and we're still a balanced team inside and outside, so you need to improve your level of viewing. ”

Akagi fought back.

After the press conference, Oki and Akagi hurriedly left the conference room, wondering if they would be able to happily answer questions and leave the conference room with a smile at the post-match press conference for the second game five days later.

However, it seems that this hope is not very good.

After the start of the second battle, although this side made a key mark on Takano, however, the killer feature of the ninja team, the three-point rain, came~!!

"Yay~!!"

"Yay~!!"

"Yay~!!!!"

It was the familiar shout again, and Team Jaguar was once again lost in the orange sea of the JAL Center.

The ninjas' three-pointers stabbed Oki like a sharp sword.

"Eh~~~"

Coach Oki looked up at the big screen above the arena, looked at the score, and let out a long sigh. (To be continued.) )
