Chapter 324: Another Year of Defeat (I)
In the playoffs of the third-place Sado Island Koei team and the sixth-place Fukuyama Flying Wave team in the regular season, the first game of the first-round series has already begun. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as the game started, Sakuragi's two consecutive wonderful assists helped the team take the lead.
After that, the scoring guard of the Radiant team, Akira Kuroki, used his individual ability to score a goal.
However, the teamwork of the Flying Waves team is still quite sharp.
The ball came to Simmons, Simmons first shook Abe, then dribbled two steps forward, and made a shooting action again, this time his feet have jumped, it should be true~~
How could Shirai Xingtuan let Simmons shoot so easily, Shirai, who had already stepped forward to make up for the defense, immediately jumped up and blocked.
"What~!!"
Just as Shirai was aiming at the ball and preparing to block it, he didn't expect Simmons to be another feint, seeing that Shirai had already jumped, Simmons directly took down the ball that was raised above his head.
A smashed pass to Watanabe, who was unguarded on the inside.
“duang~!!!”
Watanabe completed a slam dunk on the spot that couldn't have been easier.
It seems that the teamwork of the Feilang team is still there.
It seems that it is not only Sakuragi Hanamichi who is integrated into this collective, but also his former Jaguar teammate Kyle. Simmons also seems to have completed a seamless connection with the team.
And I believe that this chemistry will get better and better as they play together for longer and longer.
It seems that the opponent that the Radiant team encountered was not as easy to deal with as they thought.
Any team that can make it to the playoffs is not easy to deal with, and regardless of the ranking, I believe that the victory of the E-team will give the bottom four teams a lot of encouragement.
6:2, after the opening, the Flying Waves played smoothly, and the three goals were all completed by assists.
If the Waves can keep this offense going. That's how happy it is.
For a player like Fujima, there is no need to prove himself anymore, all he needs to do now is to retain more energy to face the tougher games ahead.
After all, Team Wave's goal isn't just to make it past the first round.
In the following games, the Radiance team found some form, and Kuroki Tianming's outside touch also recovered a lot.
However, the teamwork of the Flying Waves team is quite good.
At halftime, the Waves temporarily led by 10 points at 56:46.
Hanamichi Sakuragi had 5 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists in the first half.
Sakuragi's change is good news for the team.
In the second half of the game, the Flying Waves were always in control of the situation, although the Flying Waves made corresponding arrangements for the Flying Waves' off-ball running.
However, one thing that the Flying Waves are stronger than the Radiant team is their individual offensive ability.
Simmons alone is something the Radiant can't resist.
Simmons' hand has been very hot throughout the game, and he hit three points from the outside one after another.
The score was expanded little by little, too.
It's often like two teams with very similar styles, and it's easy to lose suspense early in the game.
Because of understanding, let the drama of the game diminish.
That's the way it was in this game, and obviously the Flying Waves, who were better in team basketball and individual ability, had a bigger advantage.
In the end, the Flying Waves defeated the Radiant Team 108-96 on the road.
The new Wave's playoff debut was a great success, and it seems that the chemistry that people were worried about is no longer a problem and is already an advantage for the Waves.
Sakuragi Hanamichi seems to be quite adaptable to the new team, and the new role of tandem attack is also handy.
I don't know how the boss of Takayama will feel when he sees Sakuragi Hanamichi's performance.
In any case, time can't be turned back, and if Swift can do a good job of playing the role of a green leaf for Rukawa Kaede, the strength of the Jaguar team is still very strong.
No matter what style of play, as long as you win the game, it's the last word.
However, it seems that the Jaguars' first game of the playoffs did not go well.
Because the playoffs are cross-played.
That is, the two series in the upper and lower halves start together, and then the other two series start together.
This is actually done to add some suspense to the game.
So the match between Team Jaguar and Team Ninja started after Team Flying Waves.
However, it seems that the suspense is not too big.
"Yay~!!"
"Yay~!!"
"Yay~!!!!"
With the shouts of the Ninjas' home stadium at the Nikko Center, and the shock of the orange T-shirts that the fans wore uniformly.
The Jaguar players seem to be drowning in this sea of orange.
At the end of the half, the score turned out to be 76:48.
The Ninja were already on the verge of leading by 30 points at halftime.
Even if the ninja team's offense is excellent, it is amazing to be able to score 76 points in the playoffs where defense is so important.
The Jaguar team was almost plugged by their opponents.
Where did the Jaguar team's defense go~??
This kind of point difference has never been seen in the previous two series.
"In the first half, everyone's performance, I was very dissatisfied, very dissatisfied, quite dissatisfied~!! Are you guys participating in the All-Star coming~?? Yes~??? ”
In the locker room at halftime, Coach Ohki was furious.
The team members lowered their heads and were silent.
If you analyze the first half carefully, the Jaguars' defense was not that bad.
The ninja team also made 8 three-pointers in the half, which was considered a normal performance.
The main thing is to lose too many rebounds, and the main thing here is - Takano Thunder.
Takaya's point was that the Jaguars didn't find a good way to limit it in the first half.
Swift is already a 35-year-old veteran, and he can't keep up with Gao Ye at all.
If you use Akagi Gangken to defend, it will be too much physical exertion and it will not be worth it.
Takano had 18 points and 13 rebounds in the half, and he had six offensive rebounds in the frontcourt.
I don't know if the players will miss the No. 6 who is always tough with Takano at this time.
The second half of the game is about to begin.
I don't know if the Jaguars can shrink the score a little, after all, losing nearly 30 points in the playoffs is too ugly.
And such a fiasco is too heavy for the team's blow.
"Give me the ball~!!"
Before going on the field, Rukawa Kaede lowered his head and whispered in Miyagi's ear.
Miyagi didn't reply, however, it seems that Rukawa Kaede's suggestion is not very positive.
However, the current state of the team can only allow Rukawa Kaede to carry the offensive banner of the team, even if it can't win, don't lose so ugly.
"Looking at it this way, it's really that Sakuragi Hanamichi is the most capable of fighting, as soon as he leaves the team, you really don't have one who can fight~~"
Takano came to the court and sarcastically said to Akagi Goken.
"Hmph, the game isn't over yet~!!"
Akagi didn't look at Gao Ye at all, his eyes were looking ahead, and he still said with dignity.
The second half of the game is about to begin.
The first is the Jaguar team's offense.
In fact, the Jaguar team's offense in the first half was at the level of normal play, and if Rukawa Kaede's shooting rate could be improved a little more, he might get more points.
While speaking, Miyagi still gave the ball to Rukawa Kaede, who asked for the ball in the card position, "according to the deployment".
Rukawa Kaede holds the ball and prepares to hit Takenei Rihei with his back.
Height, weight, and technique, Rukawa Kaede completely overwhelmed Rihei Takeuchi.
However, the way the ninja team restricts Rukawa Kaede is - bag clip. (To be continued.) )
