Chapter 870: The Dragon's Takeoff (Part II)
Last offseason, the Sapporo Dragons made a lot of changes, starting with multiple trades with the Sendai Wanderers, and after losing only Kyozo Eguchi and draft picks, they acquired Yohei Mito and Fuku. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After that, the Dragons signed the once black eight scenery of Guan Gu Xiaobei in the free market, and with the existing young players in the team, the team's roster was upgraded.
The Dragons are also one of the few players in the league who don't rely on trades to acquire players at all, but through their own development models.
There is no shortage of markets in Sapporo, and Sapporo is also waiting for the arrival of its own "master".
Although it is not clear that any player in the current roster will become a player like Akira Sendo and Kaede Rukawa in the future, the team still managed to reach the seventh place position by relying on its integrity and "team basketball", which is also the team's second playoff appearance after two seasons.
In the first trip to the playoffs, the team was also in the seventh place, and was beaten by the "strongest spear" ninja team at the time, and this time, they did not want to let the "tragedy repeat".
Although they lost the first game at the Dome, the Dragons didn't lose ugly, and they seemed to have a chance to wrestle their wrists with Jaws again.
If the Dragons were a little nervous in the first game, it was a game that was perfectly adapted to the atmosphere of the playoffs, and they caused more and more problems for the Great Jaws.
"Bell~!!"
"Miura's outside shot misses ~!!"
"Ah Fu grabbed the rebound and gave it to Matsuyama Zhangxue, Matsuyama is still accelerating ~~ Matsuyama's ball is also very fast, and it is directly given to Guan Gu ~~~"
The quick transition between attack and defense didn't even give the commentator a chance to breathe.
"Guan Gu took the ball, relied on Nakaliwan, who was much taller than himself, and relied on his strong core strength and waist and abdominal strength, and threw the ball to the basket~~"
"Click, brush~!!"
The ball is light and goes into the basket, which is very stable.
In the second game, the speed of the Dragons was something that the original Wolf and others and Coach Oki did not expect, because they had such an excellent point as Loose Zhangxue, so when it came to speed, the efficiency was still very high, the speed was also very fast, and the mistakes did not increase.
Moreover, Mito Yohei and Afuku teamed up to restrain each other's Nakazato Wan and Hara Armor Wolf very successfully.
As a result, both the Zhongliwan and the original Armored Wolf only shot 5-of-18 and 7-of-22 respectively.
With less than 40 percent of the shots, it's really hard to win.
"Whew~~~"
Looking at Coach Oki, who was frowning tightly and sighing on the sidelines, the situation of the great white shark was very bad~~
With a very low hit rate, they lost their home advantage at the Dome and lost the second game, and the great white sharks seemed to be full of thorns after going to Sapporo.
"We threw too many balls to win the game, the players didn't seem to be ready to play difficult situations, we lost home advantage, and then the game became tough, we had to regroup, do something, find a way out of where we are now~!!"
Coach Ohki said in an interview after the game.
Indeed, in this situation, Coach Ohki really needs to do something to change the current situation~~
This is also the reason why the great white shark found Coach Oki in the first place.
But a lot of the time, it's the players who really dominate the game.
"Oh Roar ~~~~~~"
"Oh Roar ~~~~~~"
Once in Sapporo, Jaws quickly caught up in the cheers of the fans.
A very special cheer similar to the way the tribe's natives shouted, and in front of the red cheering shirts worn by tens of thousands of fans, Jaws looked like the team that finished seventh in the regular season.
And the mark of a dragon's claw in the center of the stadium is very conspicuous, which shows that this is the territory of the Dragons.
However, the original armor wolf and others who have seen the world did not seem flustered, the original armor wolf sorted out his arm guards, Nakazato Wan was rubbing the magnesium powder that had just been applied to his hands, Miura was shaking hands with the referee, and many times it was very important to leave a good impression on the referee before the game, which were all details of the game.
Last season's runner-up, now taken away by the seventh-place team, facing two consecutive away games, the pressure on the former Wolves and others is not small.
"Brush~!!"
However, this pressure seems to have always been the driving force for the original armor wolf.
Soon after the opening, the Great White Shark attacked and scored, the original Wolf and Miura Fei's block, and then the former got an open mid-range shot, and the "Xiandao Disciple" hit steadily.
It seems that Coach Oki has adjusted the team's tactics, and did not play alone tactics at the beginning, but started from the blocking and dismantling of the former Wolves and Miura, as long as the three of them play side by side as a team, it will still be the level of the runner-up, and if they play separately, it will be the same as the last game.
I don't know how long such a tactic will continue as the game deepens~~
"Brush~!!"
"Yay~!!!!!!"
The Dragons, on their side, were quick to return the color.
Although the audience cheered, Akiyuki Matsuyama, who was probably the most unsure on the outside of the Dragons, received a breakthrough pass from Sekiya Kobei and hit a long-range three-point shot.
This is also a good sign for the Dragons.
Once Matsuyama feels the touch, it will be more threatening for his passing.
Counting those passing masters in history, they basically have excellent shooting skills.
Because of this skill, they got more vacant seats.
"Smack~!!"
"Yay~!!!"
It didn't take long for the scene to burst into cheers again, and this time it was changed to the performance time of the bald man Tetsuya Naito.
Nakuriwan's diagonal insertion got a good opportunity to attack the basket, and Miura quickly passed the ball over.
As a fanatic of "Big Windmill Slam Dunk", almost no one wants to block after the "scoring machine" Riwan is generally in the air, or can be blocked.
But Naito is different, he is also a "violent man", and he is much stronger than Nakaliwan's confrontation.
Two people collided head-on in the air~~
"You can't stop me, bald head~!!"
Nakaliwan doesn't seem to want to give up.
"Hmph, go back and practice for five years and come back~!!!"
"Smack~!!"
In the case of complete dominance in the physical confrontation, Naito directly flew Nakariwan's fan who wanted to split the buckle with one hand~~
The "scoring machine" had a very bitter closed door.
"Yay~!!!"
As the cheers rang out, Matsuyama got the ball and started the Dragons' favorite push-paced feel of the game.
Matsuyama quickly came to the front court and threw the ball directly near the basket.
“Duang~!!!!”
The unguarded Yohei Mito jumped high and poured the ball into the basket with both hands to complete the empty match~!!!!
There was a sudden vacuum on the inside of the Great White Shark defense, and several players who were returning to the defense were staring at Matsuyama who was holding the ball, and they didn't notice the others at all, nor did they notice Yohei Mito, who had sneaked into the paint area.
This is a taboo for returning to defense, and it appears in the runner-up team, which can only be said to be caused by an imbalance in mentality.
The pace of the game seems to be back to the second game once again.
